them with short-term economic gain; and (ii) ensure that people employed in the longer term tomaintain and operate the new facilities are residents of nearby communities.12. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site andpublic consultation, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in theplanning and development of the subproject. The IEE will be made available at public locationsin the city and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB and KUIDFC websites. Theconsultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensurethat stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in itsdevelopment and implementation. NGOs are recruited under the project to facilitate thisprocess.13. The most noticeable long-term benefits due to the subproject are: (i) increased access tosewerage system; (ii) reduced pollution and improved urban public and environmental health inBidar town; and (iii) improved the serenity in the temple and maintains good tourism conditionsfor the community. Tourism infrastructure will benefit the local and outsiders. This will also leadto economic gains from tourism development potential. Implementation of the UGD schemeswould enhance health and hygiene conditions of the City.14. Consultation, Disclosure, and Grievance Redress. Public consultations were done inthe preparation of the project and IEE. Ongoing consultations will occur throughout the projectimplementation period with the assistance of the NGOs. A grievance redress mechanism isdescribed within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.15. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU, PIU, and DSC consultants will be responsible formonitoring. The DSC will submit monthly monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will sendsemi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports onits website.16. Conclusions and Recommendations. Therefore, the proposed Bidar subprojects insewerage and tourism under Tranche 3 are unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thepotential adverse impacts that are associated with design, construction, and operation can bemitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and theincorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based onthe findings of the IEE, there are no significant environmental impacts, and the classification ofthe project as category B is confirmed, and no further special study or detailed environmentalimpact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009).

2(iii)(iv)assessment report.Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. NoEIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed.Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or anequity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary mustapply an environmental management system, unless all Projects will result ininsignificant impacts.6. Environmental Management Plan (EMP). An EMP which addresses the potentialimpacts and risks identified by the environmental assessment shall be prepared. The level ofdetail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will becommensurate with the Project‟s impact and risks.7. Public Disclosure. The IEE will be put in an accessible place (e.g., local governmentoffices, libraries, community centers, etc.), and a summary translated into Assamese for theproject-affected people and other stakeholders. ADB will post the following safeguarddocuments on its website so affected people, other stakeholders, and the general public canprovide meaningful inputs into the project design and implementation:(i)(ii)Final IEE upon receipt; andEnvironmental Monitoring Reports submitted by PMU/PIU during projectimplementation upon receipt.2. Applicable Legislations8. The implementation of the subprojects will be governed by central, state andmunicipal/local environmental acts, rules, regulations, and standards. These regulations imposerestrictions on the activities to minimize/mitigate likely impacts on the environment. It is theresponsibility of the NKUSIP executing and implementing agencies to ensure subprojects areconsistent with the legal framework, whether national, state or municipal/local. In addition,subprojects shall also be consistent with ADB SPS. The following legislations in Table 1 areapplicable to the subproject.9. Key standards include those related to drinking water quality, air quality, effluentdischarge, and protected areas. Compliance is required in all stages of the project includingdesign, construction, and operation and maintenance.Table 1: Applicable Environmental RegulationsLaw Description RequirementEIA Notification The EIA Notification of 2006 and 2009 (replacingthe EIA Notification of 1994), set out therequirement for environmental assessment inIndia. This states that Environmental Clearance isrequired for certain defined activities/projects, andthis must be obtained before any constructionwork or land preparation (except land acquisition)may commence. Projects are categorized as A orB depending on the scale of the project and thenature of its impacts. Category A projects requireEnvironmental Clearance from the NationalMinistry of Environment and Forest (MoEF).Category B projects require EnvironmentalClearance from the State Environmental ImpactAssessment Authority (SEIAA).The proposed components of thissubproject are not listed in the EIANotification‟s “Schedule of ProjectsRequiring Prior EnvironmentalClearance” and thus EnvironmentalClearance is not required.

Theseconditions regulate the quality and quantity ofeffluent, the location of discharge and thefrequency of monitoring of effluents. Anycomponent of the Project having the potential togenerate sewage or trade effluent will come underthe purview of this Act, its rules and amendments.Such projects have to obtain Consent forEstablishment (CFE) from Karnataka PollutionControl Board (KSPCB) before startingimplementation and Consent for Operation (CFO)before commissioning. The Water Act alsorequires the occupier of such subprojects to takemeasures for abating the possible pollution ofreceiving water bodies.The subprojects having potential to emit airpollutants into the atmosphere have to obtainCFE from KSPCB before starting implementationand CFO before commissioning the project. Theoccupier of the project/facility has theresponsibility to adopt necessary air pollutioncontrol measures for abating air pollution.The following will require CFE and CFO fromKSPCB: (i) diesel generators; and (ii) hot mixplants, wet mix plants, stone crushers, etc. ifinstalled for construction.All relevant forms, prescribed fees andprocedures to obtain the CFE and CFO can befound in the KSPCB website (www.kspcb.gov.in).The proposed components of thissubproject are not listed in the Water(Prevention and Control of Pollution)Act therefore will not require CFE andCFO.The proposed components does notenvisage the listed items requiring CFEor CFO.Noise Pollution(Regulation andControl) Rules, 2002amended up to 2010.National Institute ofOccupational Safetyand Health (NIOSH)Publication No. 98-126Land Acquisition Actof 1894The KarnatakaPreservation of TreesAct, 1976The Child Labour(Prohibition andRule 3 of the Act specifies ambient air qualitystandards in respect of noise for differentareas/zones.NIOSH has laid down criteria for a recommendedstandard: occupational noise exposure.

Applicable International Agreements10. In addition, international conventions such as the International Union for Conservation ofNature and Natural Resources (IUCN) 1 , Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals(CMS) 2 , and Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance 3 are applicable forselection and screening of subprojects under restricted/sensitive areas. India is a party to theseconventions. For the subproject, (i) animals and plant species found in the subproject sites arenot included in the IUCN Red List; and (ii) will not alter bird migration.II.DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBPROJECTA. UGD Development1. Location of the Subproject11. The subproject will cover Zone 1 with an area of 7.57 square kilometers with projectedpopulation of 75,310 and 112,945 for the years 2026 and 2041 respectively.2. Existing Condition12. The sewer network was laid in some parts of the old city. Most of the sewer lines arepresently defunct thus domestic sewage, together with solid waste, is discharged into roadsidedrains. In most places, stagnant wastewater is visible on the roadside drains.13. There are no sewer network and house connections in the subproject area. An effortwas made to characterize the sewage samples collected from the subproject area revealedbiological oxygen demand of 300 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and total suspended solids of 450mg/L. The estimated wastewater generation from the subproject area is projected to be 10.17million liters per day (MLD), 15.78 MLD, and 21.77 MLD for the years 2011, 2026 and 2041respectively.14. Detailed assessment of existing situation was carried out, the findings are as:1 The IUCN provides the Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List) whichis a comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species. The IUCN Red List isset upon precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria arerelevant to all species and all regions of the world. The aim is to convey the urgency of conservation issues to thepublic and policy makers, as well as help the international community to try to reduce species extinction.2 CMS, also known as the Bonn Convention, recognizes that states must be the protectors of migratory species thatlive within or pass through their national jurisdictions, and aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratoryspecies throughout their ranges. Migratory species threatened with extinction are listed on Appendix I of theConvention. CMS Parties strive towards strictly protecting these species, conserving or restoring the places wherethey live, mitigating obstacles to migration and controlling other factors that might endanger them.3 The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (also called as Ramsar Convention) provides theframework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and theirresources. According to the Ramsar list of wetlands of international Importance, there are 25 designated wetlandsin India which are required to be protected. Activities undertaken in the proximity of Ramsar wetlands shall followthe guidelines of the convention.

5(i). Sewer network was laid in some parts of the old city and most of the sewers arepresently defunct.(ii). Only 10% of the city area is covered under sewage collection system and thattoo does not have connectivity at many places(iii). Most of the assets (manholes, sewer network) have crossed their life cycle time(iv). Most houses of city area are provided with their own septic tank and soak pits.The outlet of majority of these tanks is connected to the open drains which is creatingpollution and posing health risks to the residents.15. In general, there is presently no hygienic system for domestic excreta collection,treatment or disposal in the city. In the old city, the untreated sewage and sullage is dischargedinto road side drains causing a grave risk to health of sanitation workers and the citizens alike.Newer houses in relatively more planned and organized colonies have septic tanks but mostlack soak ways and the partially treated effluent is usually discharged into open road drainswhich flow into the natural drainage channels that pass through the city. Hence improvement ofsewerage collection system along with a scientific treatment plant is the immediate need of theday.

The following are the main reasons for demand supply gap:(i).(ii).(iii).(iv).No planned sewerage scheme is implemented by the government agencies forthe cityNo scientific sewerage treatment plant is constructed in the cityExisting sewerage collection system is chocked. Pipes and manholes aredamaged, no proper house connections exists.Growth of the city is fast and infrastructure of the city does not meet this growth17. In view of the above assessment, a comprehensive sewerage scheme including itstreatment was proposed for Bidar city, which was included in Tranche 2 of the InvestmentProgram and is already being constructed. Due to funding constraints, few areas in zone-I of the

6drainage zones in the city had been left out from the scope of tranche 2 works, which areessential for coverage in order to provide a complete and comprehensive sanitationimprovement in the city. This subproject proposes to cover these areas.3. Proposed Components18. In Zone 1, 60% of the city is covered under NKUSIP-Tranche 2. The remaining 40% willbe covered under NKUSIP-Tranche 3. Table 3 summarizes the proposed UGD developmentworks. The objectives of the subproject are to (i) improve the sanitation of the city; (ii) reduceand prevent pollution entering into the water bodies by treating the sewage generated in thecity; and (iii) Improve health of the residents. The subproject is expected to provide benefits to187,817 people in 2026 and 259,113 people by 2041.Table 3: Description of the UGD Development ComponentsComponent Description Remarks1.

The land hasbeen identified and will not requireany acquisition except the transferof ownership betweengovernment departments.19. The detailed project report is expected to be completed by August 2012. Constructionwork is likely to commence in August 2013 and will be completed by August 2015 (24 monthsconstruction period).B. Tourism Development1. Location of the Subproject20. As per the proposal from Bidar City Municipal Council (CMC) the following areconsidered for tourism development (i) Papanash Lakepremises; and (ii) Narasimha JharnaCave Temple.21. The 80-hectare Papanash Lake is a natural basin to provide hydraulic relief to theexisting drainage system. It is considered as the oldest lake in Bidar.22. Narsimha Jharna Temple is an old Hindu cave temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha. It isexcavated in a tunnel. A legend says that Vishnu after killing Hiranyakashipu, slew another giantnamed Jharasura. While breathing his last Jharasura requested Vishnu to reside in the cave inwhich he was living to grant boon to devotees. Granting his last wish Narasimha came to live inthe cave. There is a rough carved image of Narasimha on a stone wall at the end of the cave.For seeing the deity, the visitor has to walk through a canal. The flow of water in the canal iscontinuous. A good number of devotees visit this temple.2. Existing Condition and Need for the Subproject23. Bidar has historical significance dating back to the Bahamani Kings in the 15th century.The ancient monuments and tombs seen around the city signify the importance of the town inthe region. The King‟s fort, maintained by Archeological Survey of India (ASI) since itsdeclaration as protected monuments, is strategically located on the northern edge of the plateauoverlooking the vast expanse of low-lying agriculture and forestlands to the north and east.24. The main historical monuments, religious places and tombs, such as the King‟s fort,Madrasa Mohammad Gawan, Tombs of Barid Shah, HazratKhaja Abdul Faiz, Ali Barid andHazratZiauddin Sahib, etc. generally attract only the local populace. Apart from the monuments,other important places of religious and pilgrimage significance are Papanasham Shiva Temple,Gurunanak Gurudwara, and Narasimha Jhani Temple.25. After a detailed survey conducted by the PMU and program consultants engaged underthe NKUSIP in October 2001, it was found that most of these places were in dilapidated state

8and had minimal or no basic infrastructure facilities like toilets, drinking water facility, etc.26. Though there is large number of monuments with historical significance in Bidar City,funding constraints has meant that they had to be prioritized based on their potential to attracttourists, need for their preservation and their current condition. The Bidar CMC on consultationwith stakeholders has prioritized and proposed Papnash Lake and Narsimha Jharna CaveTemple since they have the largest number of visitors and potential for attracting more.27. There are no official figures available on tourist numbers in the city and at each of theseselected monuments. The consultants inquired with the monument authorities for estimatedaverage number of visitors per day at the proposed subproject locations, as follows (i)Papanash Lake has estimated 150 to 200 daily and 5,000-10,000 during Shivaratri festival; and(ii) Narsighjaharna has 500 to 1000 daily and around 5,000 during Saturdays and Mondays.28. At present, the existing bund of Papanash Lake flushes with the access road with unevenlevels, without any pitching and filter media, thus allowing rain water to enter into the lake.It also allows traffic on existing bund causing risks of slippage/ sinkholes to the bund. Leakagesare also observed through the existing overflow gate.29. There are no resting facilities for pilgrims and no lighting around the Narsimha JharnaTemple.3. Components of the Subproject30. The description of the proposed components is presented in Table 4 The objectives ofthe subproject are to (i) preserve the historical monuments from further dilapidation, and (ii)attract a greater number of tourists.1. PapnashLakeTable 4: Description of the Tourism Development ComponentsComponent Description Remarks(i) construction of anearthern bund of 180 m,with dry rubble pitching of300 mm, toe wall and filterlining,(ii) provision for afabricated hand rail andpaver blocks walkway overthe proposed bund,(iii) development oflandscape around the lake,and(iv) provision of solar lightsalong the bund.2. NarsimhaJharnaTemple(i) construction ofbituminous (3.75 m width,640 m length) approachroad with side drains;(ii) development of (20 m x10 m) parking area ;(iii) construction of restinghall (20 m x 10 m) withwater and sanitationfacilities for the pilgrimswithin the temple premises(iv) provision of landscapewith paver blocks walk way(i) improvements to the existing earthen bund - construct a bundover the existing one with stone pitching with walking track tomake good the uneven levels and make the road fit for traffic forthe visitors. It is also proposed to replace the existing leakyoverflow gate by new sluice gate.(ii) railings and paver blocks - it is proposed to construct railingswith steps to provide easy access to visitors(iii) landscaping and lighting arrangements - visitors can sit andenjoys the sunset in the lake premises(i) connecting road and parking area - Bidar CMC has alreadydeveloped a road to the temple entrance with base course for alength of 640 meters. Under this subproject it is proposed toprovide a sealing coat over the existing base course with safetymeasures. It is also proposed to provide a side drain throughoutthe proposed road with a pipe culvert to maintain cleanliness ofthe premises. It is also proposed to provide lighting arrangementsalong the proposed road up to the temple entrance. As proposedby the Bidar CMC, 20 meter x 10 meter wide parking area isproposed with all road signs and parking space markings for theconvenience of the visitors.(ii) cooking and resting hall for the pilgrims - it is proposed toconstruct a cooking come resting hall of size 20 m X 10 m with

Solar lights are also proposed along proposed road andwithin temple premises for maintaining proper lighting.3. Implementation Schedule31. The detailed project report is expected to be completed by August 2012. Constructionwork is likely to commence in August 2013 and will be completed by August 2014 (12 monthsconstruction period).III.DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT32. Bidar City, headquarter of Bidar District, is located in the northern plateau region ofKarnataka State. The city is located at the northern most tip of the state at 669 km fromBangalore, 144 km from Gulbarga and 135 km from Hyderabad. The city has grown alongHyderabad-Bhalki state highway. The city is connected to National Highway No 9 (Hyderabad–Mumbai) via Srirangapatnam – Aurad State Highway (SH – 105). It is well connected toHyderabad by rail. The nearest airport is Hyderabad at a distance of 135 km.A. Physical Characteristics33. It is located at an altitude of 664 meters above mean sea level on the northern edge of aplateau, and overlooking the low-lying area to the north and east. The plateau stretchesapproximately 35 km in length and 19 km in width consisting of red laterite rocky crust of depthvarying from 30 m to 150 m supported on an impervious trap base. This has resulted in springsat the cleavages between trap and the laterite rocks. The topography drains into Manjra River,which flows towards the south of Bidar.34. The red laterite soil and black cotton soil are the main soil types found in the area. Thelaterite rock is the commonly available cheap building material in the area. The black cotton soilis found in patches and is utilized mainly for agricultural purposes.35. Bidar District is poor in economic and industrial minerals. However, a deposit of highlysiliceous bauxite clay, containing about 35 to 40 percent alumina has been located about 3Kms, to the south of Basavakalyan. Occurrence of aluminous laterite is found near Sastapur,Narayanapur and Tripuranath. The deposits are found to occur in contours between 620 to 640meters and occur in patches. The thickness of the individual patches does not exceed threemeters.36. Seismologically, the district lies in an area of lower intensity when compared to thePeninsular India. Even though the District rests on hard, dense and compact basaltic rock, it isnot completely arsine. The area has experienced very feeble and localized tremors which werefew and far in between.37. The climate is reported to be healthy and cooler relative to the neighboring districts ofKarnataka i.e. Gulbarga and Bijapur. The climatic characteristic during July to January isgenerally healthy and pleasant. The maximum temperature is observed from 39° C to 43° Cduring February to June. However, the temperature falls to 18°C during November. With the

10monsoon generally spread over four months from June to September, the average annualrainfall recorded in the years is 916.58 mm. The mean annual humidity observed in the morningis 62.72 % and the minimum observed in the evening is 43.7 %. The predominant wind directionin summer is westerly while during monsoon seasons wind flows in southwesterly direction.38. The mean annual maximum humidity observed in the morning was 62.72 % and theminimum observed in the evening was 43.7 %. Humidity is least during the month of May. Theaverage morning humidity is around 44.08 %. During summer the predominant wind directionsis westerly and during the monsoon seasons wind blow in south westerly directions.39. The result of monitoring ambient air quality in Bidar by KSPCB is given in Table 5. It canbe seen that the major source of air pollution is vehicle emission.Table 5: Ambient Air Quality of BidarLocation of MonitoringStationLanduse Type SPM SO 2 NOx Cause forCriticalityStandard for sensitive area toresidential-industrial70-350mg/m31.5-8mg/.m31.5-8.0mg/m3Standard- Residential 140 6.0 6.0A1: PCB Office premises: Industrial 78.7 8.1 7.2 Emission ofHydrogen sulphideA2: Shiva Nagar Residential 87.7 10.9 8.9 emission of vehicleA3: New Bus Stand: Public Space/ 384.72 73.8 49.8 emission of vehicleA4: At office of MunicipalCorporation::CommercialCommercial 375.5 40.4 30.3 emission of vehicle40. To determine the existing ambient noise level in the subproject area extensive noiselevel measurements were carried out as per guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Boardand the requirement of Ministry of Environment and Forest. The noise level measurements werecarried out at identified locations within the subproject area in the month of September 2007.The results of monitored noise levels are given in the Table 6.Table 6: Noise Level Observation in the Subproject AreaLocation Land use Noise Level in DB (A)Standard L Min L Max LeqDay Night Day Night Day Night Day Night1.

Inland lake is another important environmental feature in Deccan Trap area. Natural lakehas huge catchments area and in earlier period it was another source of drinking water. Butpresently, this inland water accumulated drainage water from adjacent area. It becomes wastewater disposal point. Eutrophication is common feature now. According to KSPCB data analysis

11of Papanash Lake water pH value is within a range i.e 6.85 but turbidity crosses the permissiblelimit and reaches up to 9 NTU value. Fluoride and Chloride both the content is more thanpermissible limit. Dissolve solid is also found more over here. Total hardness is merely morethan the limit 300 mg/l. Subsequently calcium and magnesium content are also high. Althoughinherent water quality is good but accumulation of waste water makes it polluted.42. Ground water is drawn through open wells and bore wells fitted with hand pumps. Toassess the water quality of city and people access of quality of environment is being assessedby examining the water quality of these open wells and bore wells. At present water level of cityis 18 m to 20 m below ground level. Even, the ground water table is depleting day by day. Basisof secondary data of KSPCB, there are four open wells are regularly monitored in different time.43. The red lateritic soil and black cotton soil are the main soil types found in the area. Thelateritic rock is the commonly available cheap building material in the area. The black cotton soilis found in patches and is utilized for mainly agricultural purpose. The physiochemical propertiesof Bidar soil is drawn which helps to assess the nutritional requirement for the forest plantationsand survivability of the avenue plantations in the subproject area. The soil characteristics arepresented in Table 7.Table 7: Characteristics of Soils in the Subproject AreaParameter Component of Red Soil Condition of Soil in Bidar City1 Organic matter 3-4 0.152 pH 5-6.8 6.13 Moisture ( %)

14D. Historical, Cultural and Social Characteristics55. Bidar is known for Bidri ware which forms the integral part of Bidar Heritage. It is aspecial style of work called "damascending" in silver. This art was developed after beingintroduced by Abdulla-Bin-Kaizer from Iran around 1422 A.D. The contrast between the blackoxidized background and the lustrous silver in lay gives beauty to the Bidri ware. The craftsmenfollow both traditional and modern designs. Silver, gold, brass, copper are used for as basematerial for preparing the articles. The Bidri articles traditionally used by nobility were waterjugs, wash basins, hookahs, candle sticks, cosmetic boxes, dishes, and flower vases.56. The historical monuments and sites in and around the Bidar city belong to differentperiods of history, Pre-Kaktiya, Tughlaq, Bahamani, Barid Shahi, Adil Shahi, Mughal, Nizam. Asfar the architecture as concerned there is a intermixture of Hindu, Turkish and Persianartisanship. Some of the design and decorative patterns seen in the monuments of Bidar areunique in India. These include the Bidar Fort, Gumbaz Darwaza, Sharza Darwaza, Takht Mahal,Tarkash Mahal, Rangeen Mahal, Shahi Malbakh, Sahi Hammam, Gagan Mahal, Diwan-I-Am,Solah Khamb Mosque, Hazar Kothari, Old Naubat Khana, Chaubara, Madarsa of MahmudGawan, Takht-I-Kirmani, Bahamani Tombs, Chaukhandi, Baridi Tombs, Tomb of Qasim Barid &Qasim Barid-II, Jharani Narasimha Cave Temple, Nanak Jhira Sahib, and Papanash Temple.Table 11 presents areas of historical, cultural and social importance in Bidar District. Thesubproject area is not within or near any of these sitesTable 11: Description of Important Historical, Cultural and Social Sites in Bidar DistrictSiteGuru Nank Jhira, BidarDescriptionGrudwara bidar is one of holiest place for sikhs. every year this placeattracts lots of tourists from all parts of the country particularly duringthe months of November and March. Legend has it that Saint GuruNanak visited the palce while the land was in the grip of a famine TheGuru performed a miracle at the request of the locals and a spring ofwater from the laterite rock mountain burst out. Till this day crystal clearwater flows from the laterite trap. The belief is that drinking of this watercures many ailments.Papnash Shiva Temple at BidarAs per the local traditional saying, the Shiva Linga idol in this temple isone of those installed by Shri RAM during the time of his journey backfrom Lanka. The location of the temple in a valley is mesmerising to theeyes. Every year at the time of Shivrathri festival lot of tourists visit thisplace. A natural spring flows into a pond in front of the temple which iscalled 'Papnasha'Narshimha Jhira Water Cave TempleAt this place the Powerful diety as per the belief here is situated in caveof nealy 300 meters. One has to wade through water upto chest heightto have darshan of the diety. It will be thrilling experience with bats andowls sitting on the roof toop of cave but they will not do any harm to thedevotees. In the year 1999 with efforts of an young IAS Officer Mr. MMaheswar Rao who was working as Assistant Commissioner and wasincharge of this temple comittee got the cave Air conditioned andElectrified.Dev DeV Vana (Botanical Garden) An Eco Tourism center 6 KM away from Bidar town on Bidar -

Every yearlots of devotees from all parts of the India visits to celebrate SadguruSiddharudha & Shivakumar Mahaswamiji Jayanti. This is Celebratedparticularly in the month of November.IV.ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES57. This section of the IEE reviews possible subproject-related impacts, in order to identifyissues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009)require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, andoperational stages in the context of the subproject‟s area of influence.58. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist (General) inhttp://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asp wasused to screen the subproject for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEEinvestigation. The completed Checklist is given in Appendix 1.59. In the case of this subproject (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small andinvolve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and notgreatly significant; (ii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the constructionprocess, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earthmovements; and (iii) being located in the lake area and surroundings of the city, will not causedirect impact on biodiversity values. The subproject will be in properties held by the localgovernment and access to the subproject location is thru public rights-of-way and existing roadshence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.60. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components arepresented in this section. Mitigation measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, arerecommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to beconducted during the implementation stage is also recommended to reduce the impact.61. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categoriesconsidering Investment Program phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre constructionstage), construction stage impacts and operation and maintenance stage impacts.(i)Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include

16loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly onadjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose theirlivelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.(ii) Design impacts include impacts arising technology used, scale ofoperation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollutionsources and ancillary services.(iii) Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks,machinery, vehicles and workers.(iv) O and M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenanceactivities of the lake. These include routine management of operational wastestreams, occupational health and safety issues and impacts on environmentalconditions associated with the operation stage of the subproject componentspertain to impacts due to enhanced tourist activitiesA. Design and Location of the Proposed Components.62. UGD Development. Land acquisition is not required. The UGD alignment is withinexisting right of way, and will not encroach on any private land. No trees or vegetation will berequired to be removed/disturbed. The site is approachable by access road.63. Table 12 summarizes the design basis of the subproject.A.

The rates are derived from Karnataka PWDSchedule of Rates.Roads are designed based on MORTh and IRCguidelines.B. Pre-Construction Stage64. Social and Cultural Resources. Any work involving ground disturbance can uncoverand damage archaeological and historical remains. For this subproject, excavation will occur inlake area and existing drainage alignment, so it could be that there is a medium risk of suchimpacts. Nevertheless, the Construction Supervision Specialist (CSS)/Divisional EnvironmentSpecialist (DES) will:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Consult Bidar CMC to obtain an expert assessment of the archaeologicalpotential of the site;Consider alternatives if the site is found to be of high risk;Include state and local archaeological, cultural and historical authorities, andinterest groups in consultation forums as project stakeholders so that theirexpertise can be made available; andDevelop a protocol for use by the construction contractors in conducting anyexcavation work, to ensure that any chance finds are recognised and measuresare taken to ensure they are protected and conserved.65. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, anddisposal areas. Priority is to locate these facilities near the subproject sites but at least 100meters away from the construction site. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere,sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property,vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not beconsidered for setting up camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks,health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts,shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near lake,water bodies, swamps, or in areas which will inconvenience the community.66. Site selection of sources of materials. Extraction of materials can disrupt natural landcontours and vegetation resulting in accelerated erosion, disturbance in natural drainagepatterns, ponding and water logging, and water pollution. To mitigate the potentialenvironmental impacts, locations of quarry site/s and borrow pit/s (for loose material other thanstones) will be assessed by CSS. Priority would be sites already permitted by MiningDepartment. If other sites are necessary, these would be located away from population centers,drinking water intakes and streams, cultivable lands, and natural drainage systems; and instructurally stable areas even if some distance from construction activities. It will be theconstruction contractor‟s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and toobtain the approval of Urban Local Body. If additional quarries will be required after constructionis started, then the construction contractor shall use the mentioned criteria to select new quarrysites, with written approval of Bidar CMC.

1867. Disposal of excess excavated materials and construction wastes. The CSS willidentify the disposal method and sites. It will be the construction contractor‟s responsibility tomanage all construction wastes.B. Construction Stage68. Pipelines traversing built-up areas will be aligned adjacent to the roads in the unusedvacant land within the RoW. In narrower roads where there is no land available, the trencheswill be dug into the edge of the road. The pipelines laid on or along the road will be buriedunderground. The pipeline laid underground will be provided a clear cover of 1 m.69. The trenches will be excavated using heavy equipment such as backhoes andbulldozers. Excavation of hard surfaces like cement concrete roads will be supplemented bypneumatic drill. Excavated soil will be placed nearby, and a bed of sand or gravel from localquarries, will be placed at the bottom of the trench. Pipes, brought to site on trucks and storedon nearby unused land, will be placed in the trench over the clean soil or sand bedding using asmall rig. Once set, the excavated soil will be replaced around and on top of the pipe manually.70. Although construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques ofconstruction work, the invasive nature of work and the subproject location in the lake will resultto impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and thecommunity in general. Table 13 presents an indication of what activities and facilities are likelyto be undertaken during construction works, including the associated inputs and outputs.Table 13: Summary of Activities and Facilities, Resource Use, and Outputs duringConstruction StageActivities and Facilities Inputs/Resource Use Outputs/Waste ProductionConstruction camp and itsassociated facilities (including laydownareas)Storage camps and lay-downareasMaterials and equipmentstockpilesCementChemical additives used inconcrete (i.e. retarders)Paving blocks/bricksAggregate (sand and stone)GravelWaterWaste concrete andother construction rubbleUsed fuels, lubricants,solvents and other hazardouswasteGeneral wasteContaminated soil withHandling and storage ofDrinking, cooking and petrochemicals (i.e. oils andhazardous materials includingsanitation at construction camps lubricants) and other chemicalschemicals additives, gravel, cement,Water for dust suppressionSewage and grey waterconcrete and lubricantsWater applied to base and (temporary construction campSource of watersub-base layers during compaction sanitation)Vegetation clearanceWater for application to subbaseand base layers prior tosoil removed duringSpoil material (excessBulk earthworks, grading andcontouring.compactionexcavations)Movement of constructionPetrochemicalsNoise and vibrationsstaff, equipment and materialsOther(construction vehicles andNoise and vibrationschemicals/lubricants/paintsmachinery)Dust suppressionConstruction vehicles,Lighting at constructionWaste production and machinery and equipmentcamps, equipment yards andtemporary storage/disposal i.e. usedTemporary energy supply to lay-down areasfuels, waste concrete and bitumen, construction campsPlant material removedspoil materials and general wasteLaborfrom servitude/right-of-wayUse of asphalt/bitumen (andRecruitment of constructionduring vegetation clearanceassociated storage and mixing areas, workforceSmoke and fumeschemicals)Skills trainingFires used for cookingRehabilitation of disturbedPublic movement controland space heating (constructioncamps)

Anticipated impacts are temporary, short duration, site-specific and can be reduced bymethod of working and scheduling of work. The impacts during the construction stage aregeneric to the construction activities and not expected to be significant. All construction activitiesto be undertaken at the site will be approved by PMU before start of any such activity. Hence,the EMP emphasizes on the construction impacts and necessary mitigation measures to bestrictly followed by the contractor and supervised by the Design and Supervision Consultants(DSC).72. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be requiredfor this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)The material sources permitted by government;Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PMU; andSubmit to CSS on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials.73. Air Quality. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used forexcavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites.Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutantssuch as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons)but temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, constructioncontractors will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Consult with PMU/CSS on the designated areas for stockpiling of, soils, gravel,and other construction materials;Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water whennecessary during dry weather;Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported bytrucks; andFit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices whichare operating correctly.74. Surface Water Quality. Mobilization of settled silt materials/dredged slurry, run-off fromstockpiled materials, and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricants during constructionworks can contaminate the water. These potential impacts are temporary and short-termduration only and to ensure these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unlesscovered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets;Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoilswill be disposed, consult with PMU/CSS on designated disposal areas;Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading tothe water bodies;

20(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading towater bodies;Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; andConduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental ManagementPlan (EMP).The construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation, dredging anddesiltation works on non-monsoon season. No waste water from the site shouldbe diverted to the lake.75. Noise Levels. Increase in noise level may be caused by excavation equipment, and thetransportation of equipment, materials, and people. Impact is negative, short-term, andreversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Plan activities in consultation with PMU/CSS so that activities with the greatestpotential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which willresult in least disturbance;Horns must not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users oranimals of the vehicle‟s approach;Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fittingjackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and portable street barriers the soundimpact to surrounding sensitive receptor; andMaintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dbA) whenmeasured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.76. Landscape and Aesthetics. There will be some impact on landscape and visualamenities due to construction of the lake bunds and excavation works along the drainagealignment. The construction works will also produce excess construction materials, and solidwaste such as removed concrete, wood, plants, packaging materials, empty containers, spoils,oils, lubricants, and other similar items. These impacts are negative but short-term andreversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)Prepare and implement a site-specific Waste Management Plan;Avoid stockpiling of excess excavated soils;Coordinate with Bidar CMC for beneficial uses of excess excavated soils orimmediately dispose to designated areas;Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the sites;Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse,recycling and disposal to designated areas;Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longerrequired; andRequest PMU/CSS to report in writing that the necessary environmentalrestoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.77. Accessibility. Hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site cancause temporary traffic problems areas surrounding the lake. Potential impact is negative butshort term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be requiredto:(i)(ii)Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads,except in the immediate vicinity of delivery site;Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours;

21(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for trafficcongestion;Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions;Drive vehicles in a considerate manner;Coordinate with Traffic Police (for UGD Development) and temple administrators(for tourist development) for temporary road diversions and with for provision oftraffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours; andNotify affected sensitive receptors by providing sign boards informing nature andduration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.78. Socio-Economic – Income. The subproject will be located in government land andexisting drainage alignment therefore the construction works will not impede access of residentsand businesses. Nevertheless, the construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil;Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access forpeople and vehicles;Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of constructionworks and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.79. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the constructionstage. This can result to generation of contractual employment and increase in local revenue.Thus potential impact is positive and short-term. The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent, local personswithin the 2-km immediate area if manpower is available; andSecure construction materials from local market.80. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupationalhazards which can arise from works. Potential impacts are negative and short-term butreversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)Ensure that all site personnel have a basic level of environmental awarenesstraining;Staff operating equipment (such as excavators, loaders, etc.) shall be trained andsensitized to any potential hazards associated with their task;No operator shall be permitted to operate critical items of mechanical equipmentwithout having been trained by the Contractor.All employees must undergo safety training and wear the necessary protectiveclothing;A general regard for the social and ecological well-being of the site and adjacentareas is expected of the site staff. Workers need to be made aware of thefollowing general rules:No alcohol / drugs to be present on site;Prevent excessive noiseConstruction staff are to make use of the facilities provided for them, asopposed to ad-hoc alternatives (e.g. fires for cooking, the use ofsurrounding bush as a toilet facility are forbidden)No fires to be permitted on site

Ensure also that visitor/s donot enter hazard areas unescorted;Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests whenworking in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible reverse horn;Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electricaldevices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas forstorage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with internationalstandards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, andthe general public as appropriate; andDisallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for a duration ofmore than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearingprotection shall be enforced actively.81. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public may include trafficaccidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. As location of project site is centralized to thelake hence health and safety risk to community is minimum. Potential impact is negative butshort-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be requiredto:4Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidentsinclude (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manualhandling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations ofcompetence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staffcompetence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoringarrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job.The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risksassociated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the workerworks as part of a team or is a lone worker.

23(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities, specially duringtourist/pilgrimage days (for tourism development).Liaise with PMU/CSS and temple administrators in identifying risk areas on routecards/maps.Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts tominimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction orpremature failure.Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of dangerous conditions, in case oflocation near the road.For the tourism development, provide signs and billboards in local language towarn the tourists and pilgrims of dangerous conditions. Provide round the clocksecurity. Prohibit access to unauthorized personnel and children by installingbarriers, not just tapes or ropes, in the construction sites.82. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollutionfrom machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, andlubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures.The construction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)(viii)(ix)Consult with PMU/CSS before locating project offices, sheds, and constructionplants;Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees;Provide water and sanitation facilities for employees;Prohibit employees from poaching wildlife and cutting of trees for firewood;Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentiallycause soil contamination;Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site;Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse,recycling and disposal to designated areas;Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longerrequired; andRequest PMU/CSS to report in writing that the camp has been vacated andrestored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.83. Social and Cultural Resources. For this subproject, only limited excavation will occurat specific locations, so it could be that there is a low risk of such impacts. Nevertheless, theconstruction contractor will be required to:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Strictly follow the protocol for chance finds in any excavation work;Request PMU/CSS or any authorized person with archaeological/historical fieldtraining to observe excavation;Stop work immediately to allow further investigation if any finds are suspected;andInform PMU/CSS if a find is suspected, and take any action they require ensuringits removal or protection in situ.D. Operation and Maintenance Stage84. Inspection, maintenance, and operation procedures are needed to ensure the publicsafety. The construction contractors (under defect liability period) and eventually Bidar CMC will:

24(i).(ii).(iii).(iv).perform routine and annual safety inspections;document the inspections;document maintenance related costsroutinely observe water flows and levels.1. UGD Development85. Bidar CMC will be the asset owner after completion and successful commissioning of thesubproject. Presently sufficient staff is available for regular maintenance of the system andBidar CMC is also allocating sufficient provisions for regular maintenance in their regular budgetalso.86. The As-Built plans and photographs detailing construction dimensions, materials, andinstalled conditions will be provided by the construction contractors. The photos will feature howthe components will be maintained. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary,and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs ofdeterioration of the sewerage system.87. For sewerage, repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work where trenches may bedug to reveal the leaking area, and the faulty connection will be refitted, or the pipe removedand replaced if necessary. For tourism works, the ULB will need to maintain the facilities, whichare not expected to create much public disturbance.88. For recurrence of blockage and leakage problems, although impact is likely to beminimal due to the new and well-designed, efficient system, it should be ensured thatrestoration time is minimized to the extent possible.2. Tourism Development89. Bidar CMC will be the asset owner after completion and successful commissioning of thesubproject. The works involved in O&M will be regular maintenance of landscape and electricalworks only for which locally available skilled persons are sufficient. Presently sufficient skilledstaff, who are conversant with this type of works, are available for regular maintenance in thecase of Papanash Lake and Narsimha Jharna Temple.E. Cumulative Impact Assessment91. The cumulative impact assessment (CIA) examined the interaction between thesubproject‟s residual effects (i.e., those effects that remain after mitigation measures have beenapplied) and those associated with other past, existing, and reasonably foreseeable futureprojects or activities. The interaction of residual effects associated with multiple projects andactivities can result in cumulative impacts, both positive and negative. The subproject‟s potentialcumulative effects were considered with respect to valued components (VCs) in environmental,socioeconomic, and heritage resources categories, in four areas:(i)(ii)(iii)of any potential residual project effects that may occur incrementally over time;in consideration of other known relevant projects or activities within the specifiedstudy area boundaries, even if not directly related to the subproject;of any potential overlapping impacts that may occur due to other developments,even if not directly related to the proposed project; and

25(iv)in future developments that is reasonably foreseeable and sufficiently certain toproceed.92. The subproject IEE has identified the VCs as air quality, water (surface andgroundwater) quality, noise, geophysical (hydrogeological), traffic management, socioeconomicand sociocommunity, cultural resources, and human health. There are no foreseeable projectsthat will overlap with the subproject. The spatial boundary of the subproject is the area along thealignment and the existing RoWs. The temporal boundary can be considered as the whole BidarCity.93. Given the wastewater treatment requirement in Bidar will be met there are positiveimpacts on environmental quality. Air quality effects will be seen during construction.Consequently, although emissions of common air contaminants (CAC) and fugitive dust may beelevated in proximity to active work sites, this impact will be short-term and localized to theimmediate vicinity of the alignment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may increase as a resultof project activities (i.e., vehicle and equipment operation, concrete production, disposal ofexcavated material, disposing of residual wastes). Given the subproject‟s relatively minorcontribution to CAC and GHG emissions during construction, the overall significance rating ofboth these potential residual effects is considered negligible.94. During construction noise levels in the immediate proximity of most work sites areexpected to increase. The duration of this exposure will be relatively brief. This exposurerepresents a temporary, localized, adverse residual effect of low to moderate significance foraffected receptors. While building damage due to ground vibrations is unlikely given themitigation measures in place, there may be annoyance to spatially located receptors duringconstruction. Noise levels associated with the project operations will be largely imperceptible, asthe service reservoirs are located in relatively small sites within the city proper.95. Land use/traffic management concerns will occur during construction. Site-specificmitigation measures will be implemented to address temporary disruptions to land use andaccess in the vicinity of the alignment, such as road and sidewalk closures, traffic delays anddetours, parking modifications, and increased volumes of construction-related traffic. Thereshould be improved traffic movement along the alignment once construction is completed. Sincethe subproject will be built in undeveloped land earmarked for service reservoirs purposes, it willnot conflict with existing or planned land use. However, following improvement in infrastructuresand services, added residential developments, commercial and business facilities, andincreased densities are expected to develop and enhance the subproject area. This can beconsidered a long-term cumulative benefit of the subproject.96. Adverse impacts such as localized disruption of vehicle traffic and pedestrianmovements in areas along the alignment, elevated CAC and fugitive dust emissions in proximityto work sites, elevated noise and vibration levels, and visual impacts will occur duringconstruction. These short-term effects will be mitigated by providing alternate travel routes oralternating traffic movements and, where possible, access to businesses, schools, andresidences. However, upon completion of construction, the socio-community will benefit fromimproved water supply system. This is considered a long-term cumulative benefit.97. No adverse residual effects to human health will occur as a result of subprojectconstruction or operation. While exposure to elevated noise levels, fugitive dust, and CACemissions will occur in proximity to subproject work sites during construction, due to their shortterm,localized nature, these effects are expected to be minor and insignificant with no

27Issues Raised during Focus Group DiscussionRemarks4 Accidents and safety issues, these units are largelyneglected and rarely consulted. As a result, during thelast couple of years, planners could witness theoccurrence of significant conflicts with local communitiesin intersection road sProper safety measure are in build in design andproper operation and maintenance no anticipatedgas leakage is predicted. But still during O&M propersafety measure to control any leakage will be takencare of.5 Natural water sources should be saved Will not damage any springs nearby templeB. Future Consultations and Information Disclosure1. Consultation during detailed design92. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders to hear theirviews and concerns, so that these can be addressed in subproject design wherever necessary.Regular updates on the environmental component of the subproject will be kept available at theBidar CMC, KUIDFC, and consultants offices.93. KUIDFC, Bidar CMC, and the apex non-government organization (NGO) will conductinformation dissemination sessions and solicit the help of the local communityleaders/prominent citizens to encourage the participation of the people to discuss variousenvironmental issues.2. Consultation during construction:94. Public meetings with affected communities (if any) to discuss and plan work programsand allow issues to be raised and addressed once construction has started; and95. Smaller-scale meetings to discuss and plan construction work with local communities toreduce disturbance and other impacts, and provide a mechanism through which stakeholderscan participate in subproject monitoring and evaluation.3. Project Disclosure96. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of constructioncamps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The roadclosure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising, pamphlets,radio broadcasts, road signages, etc.97. For the benefit of the community the summary of the IEE report in English and locallanguages will be published in the website of KUIDFC. It will be ensured that the hard copies ofIEE are kept at places which are conveniently accessible to citizens. Electronic version of theIEE will be placed in the official website of the Bidar CMC and the official website of ADB afterapproval of the IEE by ADB. The Bidar CMC will issue Notification on the locality-wise start dateof implementation of the subproject. The notice will be issued by the PIU in local newspapersone month ahead of the implementation works. Copies of the IEE will be kept in the PMU/PIUoffice and will be distributed to any person willing to consult the IEE.98. A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site forthe information of general public.

28C. Grievance Redress Mechanism99. A District Level Project Steering Committee (DLPSC) headed by the Concerned DistrictCommissioner (DC) has been established under the NKUSIP project vide GO: No N. A. E. 45PRJ 04 dated 18/06/04 for 21 towns, in addition to the functions of the committee, Grievanceredress was included as additional function vide GO: No N. A. E. 167 PRJ 05 dated 22/09/05 forthe same towns and for the additional four towns of Shahabad, Nipanni, Illkal & Sindhanurwhich were included later the DLPSC was established along the function of grievance redressvide Go No N. A. E124 PRJ 2007, dated 29/11/07, hence a grievance redress mechanism isin place for the project.100. A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) is formed to ensure that grievances areaddressed in a timely manner, facilitating timely project implementation. The GRC will compriserepresentatives from APs (ensuring representation of vulnerable households), localgovernment/Gulbarga ULB, Investment Program Officials – Deputy Project Director of NKUSIP,and NGOs/ community based organizations (CBOs). The GRC redresses grievances at thelocal-level in a consultative manner and with the participation of the affected households, ortheir representatives. GRC meetings will be convened as necessary to address complaints asthey arise. The time and date of GRC meetings will be announced to APs by the implementingNGO and RO a week in advance. The Process of Grievances Redressal Mechanism is asfollow:VI.ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN101. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensureefficient lines of communication between the PMU, consultants, and contractors. The EMPidentifies activities according to the following three phases of development: (i) site establishmentand preliminary activities; (ii) construction stage; and (iii) post construction/operational stage.102. The purpose of the EMP is to ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible

29non-detrimental manner with the objectives of: (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practicalworking tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site;(ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmentalassessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assistin mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safetyrecommendations are complied with.103. A copy of the EMP must be kept on site during the construction period at all times. TheEMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included within theContractual Clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in thisdocument constitutes a failure in compliance. It shall be noted that the Supreme Court of India 5mandates those responsible for environmental damage must pay the repair costs both to theenvironment and human health and the preventative measures to reduce or prevent furtherpollution and/or environmental damage. (The polluter pays principle).A. Institutional Arrangement104. KUIDFC is the Executing Agency (EA) responsible for overall technical supervision andexecution of all subprojects funded under the Investment Program. Implementation activities willbe overseen by a separate Program Management Unit (PMU) in its head office at Bangalore, incoordination with its regional office in Hubli-Dharwad and four divisional offices established tosupervise the implementing agencies in each geographical area. A team of senior technical,administrative and financial officials, including safeguards specialists, will assist the PMU incontrolling and monitoring Program implementation activities. The Implementing Agencies (IA)are primarily ULBs in co-ordination with various other agencies of GoK. Project implementationunits (PIUs) dedicated exclusively to the project are set up in each town. The PIUs will bestaffed by qualified and experienced officers and are responsible for the day-to-day activities ofproject implementation in the field, and will be under the direct administrative control of thePMU. Consultant teams are responsible for subproject planning and management and assuringtechnical quality of design and construction; and designing the infrastructure and supervisingconstruction; and safeguards preparation.105. Environment specialists will also be appointed as part of the DSC teams to (i) update theexisting IEEs in the detailed design stage; (ii) assist in the monitoring of EMP duringconstruction stage; and (iii) prepare EIAs/IEEs for new subprojects, where required to complywith national law and/or ADB requirements.1.

Monitoring and Reporting115. Prior to commencement of any civil work, the contractor will submit a compliance reportto DSC ensuring that all identified pre-construction environmental impact mitigation measuresas detailed in the EMP will be undertaken. DSC will review the report and thereafter PMU (state,regional and divisional levels) will allow commencement of civil works.116. PMU, PIU, and DSC will organize an induction course for the training of contractorspreparing them on:(i)(ii)EMP implementation including environmental monitoring requirements related toidentified mitigation measures; andtaking immediate actions to remedy unexpected adverse impacts or ineffectivemitigation measures found during the course of implementation.117. The PMU, PIU, and DSC consultants will be responsible for monitoring. The DSC willsubmit monthly monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will send semi-annual monitoringreports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website. The format ofthe monthly report is given in Appendix 5.

61VI.CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS118. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of allelements of the subproject in Bidar. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-, construction, and operation of the improved infrastructure. Mitigation measures have beendeveloped to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were discussed withspecialists responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result some measures havealready been included in the designs for the infrastructure. This means that the number ofimpacts and their significance has already been reduced by amending the design.119. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensure stakeholdersare engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measuresand process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participationduring project implementation.120. The subproject‟s Grievance Redress Mechanism will provide the citizens with a platformfor redress of their grievances and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame andmechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.121. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensureefficient lines of communication between KUIDFC, PMU, consultants and the contractors. TheEMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner;(i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement andmonitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation offindings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject;(iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact ofthe subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with.122. A copy of the EMP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. TheEMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included within theContractual Clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in thisdocument constitutes a failure in compliance.123. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) most of theindividual components involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will bemainly localized; (ii) in most cases the predicted impacts are likely to be associated with theconstruction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation,obstruction at specific construction locations, and earth movements; and (iii) being locatedmainly on existing facilities and built-up area will not cause direct impact on terrestrialbiodiversity values. The potential adverse impacts that are associated with design, construction,and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineeringdesign and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures andprocedures.124. Therefore per ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B anddoes not require further Environmental Impact Assessment.
