CHAPTER 1 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PLAN

1.1 INTRODUCTION Conservation is the sustainable use of natural resources, and is achieved through implementation of various measures that minimize the adverse impacts likely to accrue as a result of any developmental activity or any other form of human interferences. In the present project threats may arise as a result of construction of barrage and associated activities of proposed Shongtong-Karchham hydroelectric project (STKHEP). Compensatory afforestation is provided primarily to offset impacts due to diversion of forest land and also addresses likely disruptive activities, e.g. road construction, blasting, excavation for tunnels, quarrying, dumping of excavated material and human population pressure on land and biological resources. In view of the foreseen disturbance and degradation of natural ecosystems, a compensatory afforestation plan and biodiversity conservation and management plan has been proposed for Shongtong-Karchham hydroelectric project.

1.2 ACQUISITION OF FOREST LAND The forest land required for the proposed Shongtong-Karchham hydroelectric project is 63.5015 ha. The forest in the project area is under stress due to the human settlement, agriculture activities, grazing in the forest which generally contributes to degradation of forest. Due to construction of barrage, clearing of vegetation, movement of vehicles for transportation of construction material, widening of road, stocking of construction materials, erection of temporary labour sheds and excavation, etc. forest area is put to some stress, even if preventive measures are enforced.

During reservoir filling a reservoir is created leading to loss of vegetal cover. The species density and diversity in the proposed submergence area is not significant. About 131 trees of all age classes and a variety of species and other vegetation will be cleared from the proposed submergence area as Table 1.1 provides the details of trees required cutting from submergence area and figure 1.1 provide the view of submergence area of project.

In addition, forest land is to be acquired for other project appurtenances as well. The total forest loss including submergence area and other project appurtenance is about 63.5015 Ha. Since, in Himachal Pradesh, non-forest land is not available, it is proposed to afforest double the amount of forest land being acquired for the project. Thus, a total of 128 Ha of land needs to be afforested. The Afforestation work is to be done by Forest Department. The detailed map of the proposed sites for Compensatory Afforestation and the scheme are shown as per Annexure -1.1.

The Indian Forest Conservation Act (1980) states that:

- If non-forest land is not available, compensatory Afforestation are to be established on degraded forest lands, which must be twice the forest area affected or lost, and

- If non- forest land is available, compensatory forest are to be raised over an area equivalent to the forest area affected or lost.



Compensatory Afforestation and CAT Plan are carried out by HP Forests Department as the land is owned and managed by Forests Department, GoHP. As such the project proponent has no control on these activities, although the project proponent is funding them. There is an inherent flexibility to executing agency (Forest Department) to make changes in location and type of species for afforestation which may or may not be communicated to project proponent. Compensatory Afforestation scheme and CAT plans have their own monitoring components.

Currently, the HP Forest Department is preparing Master CAT Plan for Satluj basin which will supersede all the individual CAT Plan of each project in the basin. The cost of CAT Plan is now regulated as per Government notification No. FFE-B-F-(2)-72/2004-Pt-II, dated 30/09/2009 where it was notified that the total cost of CAT Plan has to be at least 2.5% of the total project cost, at the time of processing of clearance proposal under FCA 1980 and EPA 1984.

The cost for Afforestation is Rs 16.65 million. The details are given in Tables of the Annexure 1.1. The NPV for the forests is estimated as Rs. 36.83 million (Refer Table-1.2). The cost of trees in the forest land to be acquired is Rs 6.47 million. Calculation of Net Present Value (NPV) of forest land to be diverted under FCA 1980, in favor of HP Power Corporation Limited for construction of 450 MW capacity of the HEP Shongtong – Karchham HEP in Kalpa & Kilba Range, Kinnaur Forest Division, District. Kinnaur (H.P.) is given in Table - 1.3.

1.3 ANTI-POACHING MEASURES Compliance with local and national laws for all anti-poaching measures has been made mandatory for the contractor through appropriate conditions in the contract documents. Offences will be dealt under Wildlife Protection Act 1972 which provides for penalties including imprisonment.

The vigilance committees are constituted by the Wildlife Division under Forest Department which carries out necessary inspections/checks and the penalties are levied by the office of District Forest Officer (Wildlife Division). Project Proponent and its contractors shall cooperate with the Forest department in facilitating such checks and inspections.

During construction phase, marginal impacts may felt be on wild life near main construction areas, i.e. the barrage site, powerhouse site, etc. where construction workers congregate, some disturbance to the wildlife population may occur. Therefore, in view of this it is recommended that 3 check posts be developed. The location of these check posts could be:

• Upstream of barrage site; • Downstream of power house site; • Labour camp; Each check post shall have 3 guards to ensure that poaching does not take place in the area. The guards will be supervised by a Deputy Range Officer. It is also recommended that the staff managing these check posts have adequate communication equipment and other facilities. Apart from inter-linking of check posts, communication link needs to be extended to Divisional Forest Office and the local police station also.

a) Salary • Guards (9 nos.) @ Rs.10,000 per month Rs. 1,080,000 • One range officer @ Rs.20,000 per month Rs. 240,000 • Total cost for one year Rs. 1,320,000 Cost for 6 years Rs. 10.18 million (Assuming 10% increase per year) b) Construction of check posts, Rs. 1.95 million

provision of arm & ammunition, Communication system, etc.

(Rs. 650,000 * 3) Total Cost Rs.12.13 million 1.4 BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PLAN During the construction phase, no adverse impacts on the wildlife are anticipated as projected is located suitably away from the any designated wildlife protected area, further chances of such impacts can be reduce by various measures recommended to avoid such impacts are given as below:

• Joint checking and inspection by Project staff under coordination with HP Forest Department.

• There will be strict monitoring of laborers and workers for any activity related to



endangering the life or habitat of wild animals and birds. Workers will not be allowed to harvest any species/produce from the natural forests and cause any danger or harm to the animals and birds in the wild.

• Minimum levels of noise during construction activities will be maintained and no activity will be carried out at night i.e. sunset to sunrise to minimize noise impacts on wildlife.

• The fuel wood to the laborers will be provided from authorized source only meant and provision has been made for supply of the free subsidized kerosene/LPG from the depots being set up for this purpose to avoid forest degradation and animal habitats. Community kitchen will be provided for labour and staff by the project proponents and/or its contractors.

• Labour camps should not be located close to forest areas. • Blasting to be restricted only during day time hours. • The interference of labour camps with the forests would be kept minimum and it

would be ensured that the contractors do not set up laborer colonies in the vicinity of forests and wilderness areas.

• Strict noise control measures should be followed as per EMP and CPCB standards.

• Use of temporary sound fences or barriers to be evaluated. • Notice will be placed informing residents within 300 feet (about 90 to 100 m) of

major noise generating activities. The notice will describe the noise abatement measures that will be implemented.

• Monitoring of noise levels should be conducted during the construction phase of the project. In case of the noise levels by machinery used at the site exceed the specified noise levels; the contractor should take adequate steps to remedy the situation.

1.5 BUDGET A total provision of Rs. 72.08 million has been earmarked for biodiversity conservation forest diversion and anti-poaching measures. The details are given in Table-1.4.

TABLE-1.4: Budget for implementation of compensatory Afforestation and Anti-poaching measures

Item Cost (Rs million) Compensatory Afforestation 16.65 NPV 36.83 Anti-poaching measures 12.13 Cost of Forest trees needed to cut 6.47 Total 72.08

All costs released by the project proponents towards Compensatory Afforestation, Net Present Value (NPV) and CAT Plan implementation are deposited in an ad hoc fund (established by a Supreme Court order) controlled by the Central Government and managed by the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA). The Authority has to accomplish the compensatory afforestation for which money is deposited in the fund within a specific period of after project completion. The funds from CAMPA are transferred to State CAMPA for executing the Compensatory Afforestation Scheme, CAT Plan and further activities from NPV towards biodiversity conservation, environment improvement including anti-poaching measure mainly through the State Forest Department.

2.3. NEED FOR CATCHMENT AREA TREATMENT It is a well-established fact that reservoirs formed by dams on rivers are subjected to sedimentation. The process of sedimentation embodies the sequential processes of erosion, entrainment, transportation, deposition and compaction of sediment. The study of erosion and sediment yield from catchments is of utmost importance as the deposition of sediment in reservoir reduces its capacity, and thus affecting the water availability for the designated use. The eroded sediment from catchment when deposited on streambeds and banks causes braiding of river reach. The removal of top fertile soil from catchment adversely affects the agricultural production. Thus, a well-designed Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) Plan is essential to ameliorate the above-mentioned adverse process of soil erosion.

Soil erosion may be defined as the detachment and transportation of soil. Water is the major agent responsible for this erosion. In many locations, winds, glaciers, etc. also cause soil erosion. In a hilly catchment area as in the present case erosion due to water is a common phenomenon and the same has been studied as a part of the Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) Plan.

The Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) plan highlights the management techniques for to control erosion in the catchment area of a water resource project. The life span of a reservoir is greatly reduced due to erosion in the catchment area. Adequate preventive measures are thus needed for the treatment of catchment for its stabilization against future erosion. Watershed diagram with villages location in the catchment area considered for the present study is given in Annexure -2.3.

The catchment area treatment involves:

• Understanding of the erosion characteristics of the terrain and, • Suggesting remedial measures to reduce the erosion rate. 2.4. SILT YIELD INDEX (SYI) METHOD In the present study `Silt Yield Index’ (SYI), method has been used. In this method, the terrain is subdivided into various watersheds and the erodibility is determined on relative basis. SYI provides a comparative erodibility criteria of catchment (low, moderate, high, etc.) and do not provide the absolute silt yield. SYI method is widely used mainly because of the fact that it is easy to use and has lesser data requirement. Moreover, it can be applied to larger areas like sub-watersheds, etc.

A detailed database on natural resources, terrain conditions, soil type of the catchment area, socio-economic status, etc. is a pre-requisite to prepare treatment plan keeping in view the concept of sustainable development. Various thematic maps have been used in preparation of the CAT plan. Due to the spatial variability of site parameters such as soils, topography, land use and rainfall, not all areas contribute equally to the erosion problem. Several techniques like manual overlay of spatially index-mapped data have been used to estimate soil erosion in complex landscapes.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computerized resource data base system, which is referenced to some geographic coordinate system. In the present study, real coordinate system has been used. The GIS is a tool to store, analyze and display various spatial data. In addition, GIS because of its special hardware and software characteristics, has a capacity to perform numerous functions and operations on the various spatial data layers residing in the database. GIS provides the capability to analyze large amounts of data in relation to a set of established criteria.

In order to ensure that latest and accurate data is used for the analysis, satellite data has been used for deriving land use data and ground truth studies too have been conducted. The various



steps covered in the study are as follows:

• Data acquisition • Data preparation • Output presentation 2.4.1 Data Acquisition The requirement of the study was first defined and the outputs expected were noted. The various data layers of the catchment area used for the study are as follows:

• Slope Map • Soil Map • Land use Classification Map • Current Management Practices • Catchment Area Map.

2.4.2 Data Preparation The data available from various sources was collected. The ground maps, contour information, etc. were scanned, digitized and registered as per the requirement. Data was prepared depending on the level of accuracy required and any corrections required were made. All the layers were geo-referenced and brought to a common scale (real coordinates), so that overlay could be performed. A computer programme was used to estimate the soil loss. The formats of outputs from each layer were firmed up to match the formats of inputs in the program. The grid size to be used was also decided to match the level of accuracy required, the data availability and the software and time limitations. The format of output was finalized. Ground truthing and data collection was also included in the procedure.

For the present study IRS P6-LISS III digital satellite data was used for interpretation and classification. The classified land use map of the catchment area considered for the study is shown as Figure- 2.2. The land use pattern of the catchment area is summarized in Table-2.2.

TABLE-2.2: Land use pattern of the catchment area S. No. Category Area in Ha (%) 1. Dense vegetation 6,388 (19.03) 2. Open vegetation 889 (2.65) 3. Alpine Pasture 3,303 (9.84) 4. Barren lands 16,663 (49.63) 5. Water bodies 365 (1.09) 6. Snow cover 5,965 (17.75) Total 33,573 (100.00) Digitized contours from top sheets were used for preparation of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the catchment area and to prepare a slope map. The first step in generation of slope map is to create surface using the elevation values stored in the form of contours or points. After marking the catchment area, all the contours on the top sheet were digitized (100 m interval). The output of the digitization procedure was the contours as well as points contours in form of x, y & z points. (x, y location and their elevation). All this information was in real world coordinates (latitude, longitude and height in meters above sea level).

A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the area was then prepared, which was used to derive a slope map. The slope was divided in classes of slope percentages. The slope map is enclosed as Figure



– 2.3. Various layers thus prepared were used for Modeling. Software was prepared to calculate the soil loss using input from all the layers.

2.4.3 Output Presentation The result of the modeling was interpreted in pictorial form to identify the areas with high soil erosion rates. The primary and secondary data collected as a part of the field studies were used as an input for the model.

2.5. ESTIMATION OF SOIL LOSS USING SILT YIELD INDEX (SYI) METHOD The Silt Yield Index Model (SYI), considering sedimentation as product of erosivity, erodibility and areal extent was conceptualized in the All India Soil and Land Use Survey (AISLUS) as early as 1969 and has been in operational use since then to meet the requirements of prioritization of smaller hydrologic units. The erosivity determinants are the climatic factors and soil and land attributes that have direct or reciprocal bearing on the unit of the detached soil material. The relationship can be expressed as:

Soil erosivity = f (Climate, physiography, slope, soil parameters, land use/land cover, soil management)

Silt Yield Index The Silt Yield Index (SYI) is defined as the Yield per unit area and SYI value for hydrologic unit is obtained by taking the weighted arithmetic mean over the entire area of the hydrologic unit by using suitable empirical equation.

Prioritization of Watersheds/Sub watersheds The prioritization of smaller hydrologic units within the vast catchments is based on the Silt Yield Indices (SYI) of the smaller units. The boundary values or range of SYI values for different priority categories are arrived at by studying the frequency distribution of SYI values and locating the suitable breaking points. The watersheds/ sub-watersheds are subsequently rated into various categories corresponding to their respective SYI values.

The application of SYI model for prioritization of sub watersheds in the catchment areas involves the evaluation of:

• Climatic factors comprising total precipitation, its frequency and intensity, • Geomorphic factors comprising land forms, physiography, slope and drainage

characteristics, • Surface cover factors governing the flow hydraulics and • Management factors. The data on climatic factors can be obtained for different locations in the catchment area from the meteorological stations whereas the field investigations are required for estimating the other attributes.

The various steps involved in the application of model are:

- Preparation of a framework of sub-watersheds through systematic delineation

- Rapid reconnaissance surveys on 1:50,000 scale leading to the generation of a map indicating erosion-intensity mapping units.

- Assignment of weightage values to various mapping units based on relative silt-yield potential.



- Computing Silt Yield Index for individual watersheds/sub watersheds.

- Grading of watersheds/sub watersheds into very high, high medium, low and very low priority categories.

The area of each of the mapping units is computed and silt yield indices of individual sub watersheds are calculated using the following equation:

a. Silt Yield Index

SYI = Σ (Ai x Wi ) x 100 ; where i = 1 to n

Aw

where

Ai = Area of ith unit (EIMU) Wi = Weightage value of ith mapping unit n = No. of mapping units Aw = Total area of sub-watershed. The SYI values for classification of various categories of erosion intensity rates are given in Table-2.3.

TABLE- 2.3: Criteria for erosion intensity rate Priority categories SYI Values Very high > 1,300 High 1,200-1,299 Medium 1,100-1,199 Low 1,000-1,099 Very Low <1,000 2.6. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT – AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES Watershed management is the optimal use of soil and water resources within a given geographical area so as to enable sustainable production. It implies changes in land use, vegetative cover, and other structural and non-structural action that are taken in a watershed to achieve specific watershed management objectives. The overall objectives of watershed management program are to:

- increase infiltration into soil - control excessive runoff - manage and utilize runoff for useful purpose.

Following Engineering and Biological measures have been suggested for the catchment area treatment. Engineering measures

- Step drain - Check dams

Biological measures - Afforestation /Plantation - Pasture development - NTFP Plantation including medicinal plants - Development of nurseries



The description of various catchment area treatment measures recommended as a part of CAT Plan of the proposed Shongtong-Karchham hydroelectric project is given in the following paragraphs: i) Step Drain: Step drain is recommended in the steep streams where soil erosion is high.

The stepped drain can be concrete drain (2-3 ft. steps) or steps can be developed with sausage wall or combination of sausage walls and dry walls. The steps in the drain help in reducing the current of water which reduces the soil erosion.

ii) Check dam: The check dam will be provided with stone masonry and G.I. crate walls in the nalah where less vegetative cover and erosion is high.

iii) Afforestation: A well-stocked forest plays a very important role in control of soil erosion. Thus, it is proposed to increase the vegetal cover in the area. For this purpose, barren areas, devoid of tree growth have been recommended to be brought under afforestation. As a part of the CAT Plan, replenishment afforestation/gap plantation has been recommended.

Many of the forest areas have been depleted due to excessive pressure of local population for timber, fuel wood and fodder. The natural regeneration is absent as a result of increased human interferences. For such forest areas, it is proposed to increase the stocking by artificial regeneration. About 600 to 800 trees per ha are proposed to be planted as a part of this measure.

iv) Pasture development: Barren lands with slopes greater than 40% have been recommended to be treated by developing pastures over them. Fodder development has been recommended in vicinity to the villages within the catchment. This will reduce the pressure on pasture land being developed as a part of the catchment area treatment plan.

v) Development of nursery: Development of nursery is done to provide saplings for various plantation works. Nurseries have been recommended as a part of the CAT Plan in various sub-watersheds covered as a part of the CAT Plan. The size of the nursery can be 1 to 1.5 Ha and about 10,000 saplings can be planted in the nursery.

The basis of site selection for different biological and engineering treatment measures under CAT are given in Table - 2.4.

TABLE- 2.4: Basis for selection of catchment area treatment measures Treatment measure Basis for selection

Pasture Development Open canopy, barren land, degraded surface Afforestation Open canopy, degraded surface, high soil erosion, gentle to moderate

slope Step drain To check soil erosion in small streams, steps with concrete base are

prepared in sloppy area where silt erosion in the stream and bank erosion is high due to turbidity of current.

Check dam Stone masonry with cement mortar in 1:6 with concrete base 1:4:8 and G.I. crate walls on steep slopes, sliding surfaces, where less vegetative cover and silt erosion is high

Nursery Centrally located points for better supervision of proposed afforestation, minimize cost of transportation of seedling and ensure better survival.

2.7. CATCHMENT AREA TREATMENT MEASURES The total directly draining catchment area is 33,573 Ha. The erosion category of various watershed



in the catchment area as per a SYI index are given in Tables- 2.5 and 6. The details are shown in Figure-2.4.

TABLE- 2.6: Area under various erosion categories S. No. Category Area (Ha) (%) 1. Low 10,732 (31.97) 2. Medium 7,894 (23.51) 3. High 14,947 (44.52) Total 33,573 (100.00)

The objective of the SYI method is to prioritize sub-watershed in a catchment area for treatment. The area under very high and high erosion categories is to be treated at the project proponent cost. Hence, CAT plan has been suggested for high erosion category, as a part of the present EIA study, the expenses of which have to be borne by project proponents. The area under high erosion categories is 14,947 ha, which is about 44.52% of the total catchment area intercepted at the barrage site. There is no area under very high erosion category.

2.8. TREATMENT MEASURES As per GoHP notification No., FFE-B-F-(2)-72/2004-Pt-II, dated 30/09/2009 it was notified that the minimum area to be treated under the CAT Plan would be approximately 15% of the total effective catchment area of the project. The total area under catchment for this project is 33,573 ha out of which only 2,762 Ha has been taken up for biological treatment (which is about 8.22 % of the total area). The rest of the area will be decided by the CAT Plan implementing agency (HP Forest Department) after finalizing the Integrated CAT Plan for Satluj basin which is being prepared through World Bank for entire basin within Indian territory. The corresponding additional costs to cover the balance area under the project will be met from GoHP equity at a later time. This 8.22% of the catchment area falls under HP Forest Department jurisdiction and the Forest department will decide which measures to be taken up to fulfill the condition of 15% of total effective catchment area. According to the notification of HP Government (quoted above), CAT Plan cost @ 2.5% of total project cost has been allocated (Annexure – 2.1). The provisions contained in the Integrated CAT Plan for Satluj basin falling within Indian Territory will supersede all the individual CAT Plans in the basin. The Integrated CAT Plan shall have its own monitoring mechanism which is separate from environment monitoring programme given in EMP.



As a part of catchment area treatment plan, various biological as well as engineering treatment measures have been recommended. The details of the biological and engineering treatment measures recommended as a part of CAT plan are given in Tables- 2.7 and 2.8 respectively.

Total 25 2.9. JOINT FOREST MANAGEMENT Joint Forest Management (JFM) is a concept of developing partnerships between fringe forest user groups and the Forest Department (FD) on the basis of mutual trust and jointly defined



roles and responsibilities with regard to forest protection and development. In JFM, the local communities and the Forest Department manage the resource and share the cost equally. Joint management of forest lands is sharing of responsibilities, control, decision making authority and products over forest lands between government and local user groups. The primary purpose of JFM is to create conditions at the local level, which enable improvements in forest conditions and productivity. A second goal is to support a more equitable distribution of forests products than is currently the case in most areas. It is a movement towards a more democratic management of natural resources founded on the principle of equity, transparency and social justice, which aims to build collective community action deeply rooted in many rural communities. Joint forest management activities play an important role in the Catchment Area Treatment. Therefore, as a part of the JFM activities proposed for the Shongtong-Karchham H.E. Project, local communities will be motivated to identify themselves with the development and protection of the forests from which they derive benefits.

2.9.1 Objectives of Joint Forest Management (JFM) The objective of the JFM is to review and study the technology and suitable silvicultural practices for increasing the productivity of degraded forests through participation of local communities. The communities are required to organize forest protection committees, village forest committees, village forest conservation and development societies, etc. Each of these bodies has an executive committee that manages its day-to-day affairs.

2.9.2 Policy Framework National forest policy 1988, envisages people's involvement in the development and protection of forests. Following the adoption of 1988 policy by the GoI, several state governments including H.P. have decided to adopt the Joint Forest Management (JFM) approach with suitable modifications. Forest Protection Committees of West Bengal, Hill Resource Management Societies of Haryana, and village Forest Committees of Karnataka are few examples. In H.P. J.F.M. has been initiated in pursuance of Government. Order No. Forest (C) 3-4/80- V dated 12 5.93. JFM activities will be governed by guidelines issued by Government. of Himachal Pradesh on PFM/JFM activities which are placed in the Annexure 2.2 and are also available on website of HP Forests Department. Implementation of JFM works shall be carried out as per the provisions of the Integrated Resource Management Plan (Micro Plan) and annual plan or operations finalised accordingly. Legal provisions, as amended from time to time, should be included in the JFM strategies. The strategies for implementation are discussed as under.

2.9.3 Strategies for implementation Primacy of people Involvement of people is the foremost aspect in JFM. Joint management must be consciously based on people, their needs, their analysis of issues and their decisions. It also implies an explicit faith that people, whatever the condition of poverty and oppression, can progress, and transform their environment without the help of donation by external agencies.

In essence, JFM demands that local people move from being objects to becoming subjects of developmental process. It must be based on bottom up approach "Only through this approach can any people oriented program attain any meaningful and lasting success. Thus, there is a need to bring in a change not only in their behavior but in attitude as well. The community awareness of the necessity and effectiveness of participation in their own development will ensure that progress shall continue even after the formalized program ends. Till now, there is hardly any' example where people's participation has continued in a real sense even after the



expiry of a particular program/project. The program's next purpose is to nurture the enthusiasm and capabilities of the user groups in order that they may attain self-sufficiency. The group members will be encouraged to identify and utilize whatever resources, however meager are available to them. Outside inputs shall be limited to the role or stimulants. Only assisting the groups in more effectively managing the own assets by using their knowledge. In no way shall the local community become dependent upon the program itself for financial and bureaucratic survival. This will not only bridge the gap between officials and people but also result in increased faith and confidence of people in Government.

Involvement of NGO's Undoubtedly NGOs have to play a significant role in creating awareness amongst people. NGOs should be involved particularly in documentation, training and community level organizing and facilitation. High people, high sounding NGOs may be of limited use in HP, context as local NGOs like Mahila Mandals, Yuvak Mandals and awakened individuals are more conversant with local customs, traditions and needs of the people and such institutions are working effectively throughout Himachal Pradesh.

Training JFM envisages frequent interaction with people on part of the staff of Forest Department. Training of staff is thus crucial for the success of JFM program. It requires extensive training and reorientation of the staff of Forest Department to function effectively in an extensive role and provide support to village management. Attitudinal changes are very important so that the forest officials do not view JFM, in total isolation nor consider it to be another Government 'scheme'. lt should not be viewed as an entry point activity and plantation, soil conservation activity only. The qualitative factors: whether the Village Forest Committee (VFC) has clearly perceived its role in effectively and judiciously reducing the consumption tends to get lost. How to train officials so that critical evaluation of these qualitative factors becomes an integral part of this program is the basic issue.

Till recently, forest officials have been depending on physical, resource and position. Use of physical power by way of policing and imposing authority, resource power by giving plethora of benefits in form of timber, fodder, MFP etc., (worth about Rs. 700 crore annually in Himachal Pradesh) and imposing one’s own wisdom by virtue of one’s position/status has not resulted in establishing a strong link with the local people. It is, therefore imperative now to concentrate on the last two powers i.e. expert power and personal power. Expert power is the power that is vested in someone because of his acknowledged expertise and personal power resides in the person and in his personality, sometimes called charisma, sometimes personality. These two powers in an official would be developed through trainings; not only in professional activities but also in extension, communication, leadership qualities etc. so that he is able to motivate people.

An appropriate training program would contain three components (1) Seminars to introduce field staff to concepts, goals, tools and the roles they are expected to play in JFM programs. (2) Field practice in JFM and (3) Extended field visits to successful JFM projects. It will be quite pertinent to mention here that attitudinal changes are required not only at the level of field functionaries but also should include the highest management and planning level including the public representatives.

2.9.4 Activities in Joint Forest Management (JFM) Major activities undertaken as part of joint forest management (JFM) in the catchment area of



Shongtong-Karchham H.E. Project, includes the following:

• Institutional • Productivity • Marketing • Profit sharing

1. Institutional Arrangements

The primary objective of the JFM program includes the rehabilitation of degraded forestlands, village resource development, micro watershed to improve the socio-economic status of forest-dependent communities in order to reduce pressure on forests with peoples’ organizations e.g. Village Forest Committees – (VFC). Hence, a VFC needs to be constituted for the implementation of JFM.

2. Productivity In order to reduce pressure on forests and to provide incentives to communities for economic returns to sustain forest protection and management NTFPs like grasses, bamboo, fruits are being planted in blocks, forest blanks and along trenches, homesteads and agriculture bunds. Fuel wood is the most important commodity that people access from forest areas. Use of fuel-efficient devices like stoves and Biogas plants otherwise plantations through their agro-forestry and other plantation programs can be implemented as a part of in JFM to reduce the pressure on the forest. Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) have a key role in JFM efforts. With the increasing awareness of their economic potential and growing concerns for the sustainability of the resources and the distribution of the benefits derived from them, various state governments have taken over control of a number of NWFPs. Some of the explicit objectives for state monopoly of NWFP trade are to:

• prevent unscrupulous intermediaries and their agents from exploiting NWFP collectors: • ensure fair wages to collectors: • enhance revenue for the state: • ensure quality; • maximize the collection of produce

3. Marketing

There are three types of products available to communities in JFM areas

(i) immediate products like Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFP), grass, fuel wood available almost immediately or after a time period depending upon the state of degradation of the forest that is being managed jointly,

(ii) intermediate products from operations like thinning, other cultural operations, and

(iii) final products like timber from felling. In majority of the States, however, JFM is still in the initial stages, and hence marketing has not emerged as an important issue for consideration.

The share of forest products to communities varies as per provisions in the various State orders for JFM. However, from the experience of different states it is evident that the VFC share is rather minimal in case of high revenue earning NTFPs. However, State agencies such as FD and FDCs do have a major role in the marketing of timber and fuel wood. Community involvement in NTFP management needs to be ensured in (i) technology for collection, preservation and regeneration; (ii) scientific harvesting and handling; and (iii) planned extraction and management based on an NTFP database are among the important



strategies that need to be adopted in JFM.

4. Benefit sharing Forest-user communities, dependent on forests for fuel wood, fodder, small timber and NTFPs, have accessed forest products under different rights regimes. Under the JFM program, residents of forest-fringe villages will be provided access to forest produce to meet their basic needs of fodder, fuel wood and NTFP. In lieu of this, people are protecting and managing the forests with the FD. Social fencing is to be practiced for forest protection by VFC’s. Regular voluntary patrolling will be done by villagers as part of their contribution. The FD is therefore benefiting from reduced workload for forest protection and also reduced expenditure on protection measures. VFCs will be entitled to a share in the timber harvest in varying proportions. Cost shared by community will be based upon sweat equity towards protection of Environment and plantation.

Further detailing with regards to the activity milestones and success indicators is not possible to provide in EMP as these are part of micro planning which will be done by the executing agency – the HP Forest Department during actual implementation using JFM practices.

2.9.5 Budget A provision of Rs. 260.0 lakh has been earmarked for implementation of measures under Joint Forest Management.

2.10. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT The proposed project is not located close to any Wildlife sanctuary or habitat areas nor any ecologically sensitive area vis-à-vis wildlife. There is no major wildlife observed in the study area. Following measures are recommended as a part of the study for wildlife management activities:

• The project authorities would ensure that strict vigil is kept especially during the breeding season of animals (between October to December) and when young ones are born/nesting season (between March to June). Activities like blasting or heavy machine operations producing noise levels more than 80-100 dB (A) will be restricted during this period. Heavy penalties would be imposed for violation of this conduct by contractors/laborers, etc. during this period. These aspects shall be included in the Tender Documents for the Contractor involved in construction works.

• Information dissemination emphasizing the need of conservation and legal consequences on violation of Forest and Wildlife (Protection) Acts will be prioritized and publicized. Awareness would also be imparted to the laborers engaged in construction activities for exerting great restraint especially during critical months of breeding and nesting of animals and birds.

• The Signboards/Notice boards highlighting penalties for violation of rules will be put nearby habitation areas of laborers. The importance of conservation of wildlife would also be emphasized.

• Education and awareness campaigns including screening of audio-visual films would be conducted stressing on environmental conservation.

• Up-gradation of check list of wildlife of the area • Infrastructure development • Control and management of forest fires • Enforcement of law • Improvement of existing waterholes and spring • Rehabilitation of a small wildlife health cum ex-situ conservation centre.



• Patrolling and surveillance • Anti-poaching and hunting operational measures • Study of wildlife population during the project implementation • Eco-development and community participation

As part of the CAT Plan, the following measures are being recommended to be undertaken by the HP Forest department: Wildlife Improvement

• Intensive Management of Wildlife • Incentive to local communities for fire prevention • Incentive to local communities for fire prevention • Incentive to local communities for protection of Wildlife. Wildlife Development

• Wildlife Census; • Capacity building of staff and community; • Support for communication-mobile connectivity; • Establishment of nursery with an area of 1 Ha infrastructure for distribution of plants

to the public; • Maintenance of plants in nursery; • Soil and moisture conservation; • Monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment study.

Eco-Development Activities

• Support for vermi compost development; • Support for introduction of LPG for poor households around project area; • Socio-economic survey around project area.

A. WILDLIFE IMPROVEMENT

Intensive Management of Wildlife Since all wildlife in nature live in complex web of linkage with other organisms, the proper evaluation of habitat of each species followed by its proper management is very essential. The plant life provides a congenial habitat to wildlife. Thus, it is proposed to improve the wildlife habitat by undertaking planting and other works.

For this purpose bushy, shrubby and thick forests are to be maintained and no grass should be removed from the habitat of the wild life. In degraded forest areas, suitable species i.e. fodder and fruit bearing species will be carried out as per site location, the bank area in the forests especially in high reaches along ridge should be maintained as pasture land by sowing suitable local grasses for the benefit of wild animal. Besides this water pond/ hole should be constructed wherever these are required. An outlay for Rs. 150.0 lakh has been proposed to be incurred during the plan period.

Survey and documentation of Flora and Fauna in the catchment The existing boundary of the forest covering in the CAT Plan will be maintained with pillar, to prevent encroachment by the local inhabitants. In addition, a survey for flora and fauna will also



be carried out and recorded. An outlay of Rs. 50.0 lakh has been kept for this purpose.

Incentive to local communities for fire prevention The local community of the plan area will be provided with incentives in order to prevent the area from fire and outlay of Rs. 35.0 lakh has been kept for this purpose.

Incentive to local communities for protection of Wildlife Reward / incentive to the informers are required for proper protection of the forest area against poaching and illicit felling. It is proposed to strengthen the Wildlife efforts of forest guard in controlling offences by associating the locals. They can be rewarded and incentives be given by the forest department. It is necessary to make people aware about the biological, ecological hardships which the forests of the area in general are facing. Therefore, people should be encouraged by providing them reward/incentive for giving information about the offender/culprits. It is also ensured that informer's name should not be disclosed publicly or otherwise people will not dare to come forward on this issue. A provision of Rs. 35.0 lakh has kept for this purpose.

B. DEVELOPMENT MEASURES Wildlife Census It is proposed to carry out wildlife census every alternative year in key areas to assess the trends in population of growth of various species. The findings of the survey will help in assessment of various management measures and need for improvements, if any. An amount of Rs. 50.0 lakh has been earmarked for this purpose.

Capacity building of staff and community The implementing staff and communities will be imparted with training and exposure visit in order to build their capacity for effective management and improvement of wildlife and wildlife sanctuary. An outlay of Rs. 40.0 lakh is proposed to be earmarked for this purpose.

Support for communication Mobile connectivity will be provided to the staff to have communication for effective protection of flora and fauna. An amount of Rs. 10.0 lakh is proposed to be earmarked for this purpose.

Establishment of nursery with infrastructure An ideal nursery will be established with its infrastructure to provide healthy seedlings for distribution of plants in public. Rs. 30.0 lakh has been earmarked to establish this nursery.

Maintenance of plant in nursery The nursery will be maintained so as to provide sufficient planting stock in perpetuity for public distribution. An amount of Rs. 15.0 lakh has been kept for maintenance of nursery.

Soil and moisture conservation The tract is prone to soil erosion and in order to check and protect the area from further erosion, a provision for soil and moisture conservation interventions has been proposed. For this purpose an amount of Rs. 50.0 lakh has been earmarked.

Monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment study A study will be carried out for impact assessment, monitoring & evaluation and for this purpose an amount of Rs. 20.0 lakh has been earmarked.



C. Eco-development activities Support for vermi compost development Vermi composting is one of the alternative sources of income generation which is easy to adopt, home based and can bring fast income returns to the local people in an ecofriendly manner. Forest department and horticulturist in Kinnaur district will be a potential buyer of all such compost for its vast network of Forest Nurseries. Woman organizations from the area can adopt these activities as a part time without compromising with their day to day work. An outlay of Rs. 50.0 lakh can be earmarked for this purpose.

Support for introduction of LPG for poor house holds In order to release pressure on existing forests to meet the demand of fuel in and around the project area. A provision for introduction/ supply of LPG to the poor households has been made. An outlay of Rs. 35.0 lakh has been kept under this component

Socio-economic survey A survey will be conducted in the study area to assess and study the socio-economic conditions. Funds to the tune of Rs. 30.0 lakh have been earmarked for conducting the socio-economic survey.

BUDGET A total provision of Rs. 600.0 lakh has been estimated for implementation of various measures for Wildlife improvement and development. The details are given in Table-2.9.

The EMP consultant was provided these figures during informal discussions regarding indicative costs in order to retain flexibility during implementation.

2.11. SILT OBSERVATORIES It is recommended that in areas categorized under very high erosion categories, major streams and river Satluj be monitored. Monitoring budget is comparable with entire cost of



treatment measures and not development measures alone. Silt observation is an integral part of treatment plan. Simple silt load/ yield analysis at periodic intervals provide the indication of effectiveness of treatment. SOP’s (Silt Observation Posts) will be established as part of the Integrated CAT Plan for observation of silt, monitoring results of which would be shared.

In addition, regular progress monitoring of each intervention / activity of CAT plan is an integral part of plan. Survival assessment of biological measures and verification of engineering measures shall be done by the implementing agency and results published and shared.

The monitoring shall cover silt content being carried in the river water. A provision of Rs. 30.0 lakh has been earmarked for this purpose.

2.12. BASIN LEVEL CAT PLAN The Himachal Pradesh Forest Department has awarded consultancy services for preparation of a Basin Level CAT Plan in which various project developers in the basin will contribute. It is proposed to contribute Rs. 100.0 lakh as contribution towards Basin Level CAT Plan including consultancy charges.

2.13. TRAINING OF FOREST STAFF A provision of Rs.120.0 lakh has been earmarked for training of staff and sensitization of local communities.

2.14. PROVISION OF ENERGY SAVING DEVICES A provision of Rs. 80.0 lakh has been earmarked for provision of energy saving devices to local communities.

2.15. FOREST PROTECTION MEASURES A provision of Rs. 418 lakh has been earmarked for forest protection measures in view of congregations of large labour population and outsiders in the project area and its surroundings during project construction phase.

The break-up is given as below:

• Anti-poaching measures : Rs. 121.3 lakh • Provision of free fuel wood to : Rs. 296.7 lakh labour and technical population

During construction phase in and around the main construction areas, i.e. the barrage site, power house site, etc. where construction workers congregate, some disturbance to the wildlife population may occur. Therefore, marginal impacts may be on wild life due to various construction activities. In view of this it is recommended that 3 check posts be developed. The location of these check posts could be:

• Upstream of barrage site • Downstream of power house site • Labour camp

Each check post shall have 3 guards to ensure that poaching does not take place in the area. The guards will be supervised by a Deputy Range Officer. It is also recommended that the staff manning these check posts have adequate communication equipment and other facilities. Apart from inter-linking of check posts, communication link needs to be extended to Divisional Forest Office and the local police station also.



a) Salary Guards (9 nos.) @ Rs.10,000 per month Rs. 1,080,000 One range officer @ Rs.20,000 per month Rs. 240,000 Total cost for one year Rs. 1,320,000

Cost for 6 years Rs. 101.8 Lakh (Assuming 10% increase per year)

b) Construction of check posts, Rs. 19.5 Lakh Provision of arm and ammunition, communication system, etc. (Rs. 650,000 * 3) Total Cost Rs.121.3 Lakh Provision of Free Fuel It is recommended that, during the construction phase of hydroelectric projects, the project authorities have to make proper/ adequate arrangements for meeting the demand of fuel supply to the laborers/ workmen engaged through the contractors so that illegal felling of tress does not take place in the nearby forest area situated around the project as these projects are normally located in the far-flung remote areas to the forests. The basic aim and objectives behind this measure are to:

• control the illegal felling of trees • make a sound and eco-friendly project by providing proper fuel arrangements to the

laborers/ workmen • make the project responsible for catering to the demand of fuel for laborers / workmen • maintain the forest cover and environment of the region, where project is being located.

It is recommended to: - Make a clause mandatory in the contract of every contractor involved in project construction

to provide supply of fuel to their laborers, so that trees are not cut for meeting their fuel demands.

- Establish LPG godown within the project area for providing LPG cylinder to run community kitchens.

- Establish kerosene oil depot near project area with the help of state government to ensure proper supply of kerosene oil.

The project proponents in association with the state government should make necessary arrangements for distribution of kerosene oil and LPG. These fuels would be supplied at subsidized rates to the local/contract laborers for which provision should be kept in the cost estimate. The total cost required for provisions of fuel works out to Rs. 296.7 lakh. The details are given in Tables 2.10 to 2.12. The cost required for provision of free fuel to labour population is included in the overall cost of Catchment Area Treatment Plan.

A provision of Rs. 100.0 lakh has been earmarked for rescue centre for wildlife.

2.22. SNOW HARVESTING Harvesting snow water in cold desert regions is not merely a way to rehabilitate the land for crop growth, as it is also a way to bring cultural identity to a people in between the ancient times and the rapid pace of a global world.

The technique of harvesting snow by creating snow reservoirs in the winter months, the water from an upstream nallah is being diverted into a reservoir constructed under the natural shadow of a towering rock face, which would begin freezing with the onset of December. The reservoir, whose other three sides consist of crete walls and metal-wire mesh filled with boulders has a capacity to store more than 625 kl. of snow. This should thaw at a time when the farmers need the water for irrigation the most. A provision of Rs. 450.0 lakh has been earmarked for snow harvesting at various sites in the catchment area.

2.23. INFRASTURTURE REQUIRED FOR MONITORING OF CAT PLAN A provision of Rs. 67.5 lakh has been earmarked for infrastructure required for implementation and monitoring of CAT Plan. The details are given in Table-2.13.

CHAPTER-3 FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT PLAN

3.1 Introduction HPPCL is constructing three projects in Satluj basin in district Kinnaur namely Integrated Kashang Hydroelectric Project (HEP), Shongtong-Karchham HEP and Tidong-II HEP (in future). The Fisheries Department, GoHP has developed an Integrated Fisheries Development Plan covering areas of the above referred three hydroelectric projects. A separate study has been commissioned by HPPCL to determine environment flow and HPPCL is committed to maintain the same, if it is higher than 15% downstream discharge. If it is lower than 15%, HPPCL shall maintain 15% discharge i.e. whichever is higher.

Based on the study, HPPCL will keep 10% of this total environmental flow through the fish pass. The strategy for the development of fisheries in Kinnaur district is described in the following sections. Figure 3.1 shows the pectoral view of hydro – technology.

Figure 3.1: Hydro-technology

3.1 Status of fisheries of the project area The commercial fisheries are non-existent in the project area. The primary productivity of river is very low hence it has poor fish occurrence. The nutrient and temperature levels are given in Table 5.58.

Netting was done to ascertain the presence/ absence of fish fauna using cast net with 4 mm mesh size at all the stations. Repeated netting was done at least ten times, at each station to avoid the possibility of escape of fish, if present in the river. Meantime the water samples were also collected for the estimations of physicochemical parameters. The fish catch area has been shown in Figure 5.2.

• Near center (mm):- 15 mm • Towards circumference (mm):- 4 mm

( c) Sinkers: Numbers: 110 • Weight of each sinker: 25 gm.

3.2 Strategy for Fisheries Development [A] Development of Fisheries The commercially important fish species, which are going to be mainly affected by the Hydroelectric Power Projects in the district, are:

1. Snow Trout - Schizothorax spp. 2. Exotic Trout - Salmo Trutta fario 3. Rainbow trout - Onchorhyaricus mykiss

Anticipated depletion of fish stock of desirable species has to be augmented. In cold waters, stocking of commercial species of fish is annual exercise to make these species available at desirable level. To achieve this objective, additional facilities to produce seed of trout are proposed to be created and the existing facility is to be renovated at Trout Fish Farm, Sangla. [B] Promoting Commercial Farming of Rainbow Trout Local people of the area especially women folk will be helped to set up their own commercial units. Ten such units are proposed to improve their economy and providing them with dependable avenues. Awareness camps will be organized for the targeted groups.

[C] Angling Tourism In order to boost Angling tourism, one Angling Lodge with full amenities shall be constructed near Sangla with a provision of Cook-cum-Chowkidar. It will help in the exploration of the tourist potential of the Valley.

[D] Marketing of Trout Fish An Aqua Shop shall be constructed at Reckong Peo with facilities of fish preservation and manpower so as to provide a common retail outlet to the fish produced till such time it becomes feasible to outsource the same.



3.3 Infrastructure Proposed for Development of Fisheries in Kinnaur Valley Streams

3.3.1 Management Plan for Rainbow Trout The cost required for development of hatcheries shall be Rs. 303.0 lakh. The details are given in Table- 3.1.

However, the Schizothorax richardsonii, in addition to other species of the ‘snow trout’ are very common in the downstream stretch of the Satluj River. Thus, the construction of the project may affect the prospects of the development of snow trout fisheries in the river.

A snow trout hatchery shall be constructed downstream to the project with technical assistance from the Department of Fisheries, Govt. of Himachal Pradesh. The assistance of Institute of Coldwater Fisheries department of Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR), Bhimtal, Uttarakhand shall also be sought for constructing rearing hatchery of snow trout. Juveniles of snow trout shall be collected from natural flowing waters which shall be stocked and reared in the built hatchery.



The stocking program shall comprise of the following:

• Acclimatization stocking (a new fish species is introduced in a water course), • Supplementary stocking (a species already living in a water body), • Transfer stocking (transportation of mature fish from one water body to another), • Repetitive stocking (species which do not propagate in natural conditions). To carry out the stocking program on annual basis, suitable aquaculture facilities have to be created to meet the requirements of fingerlings. The proposed facilities have to meet the requirements of fingerlings of the Trout. The proposed aquaculture facilities have to be in flow through system facility for Trout species.

Commercial fishing is not in vogue in the project area. The barrage envisaged as a part of the proposed project will act as a barrier to the free movement of fish species. Since, Snow trout is categorised as vulnerable species amongst the threatened fishes of India, scientific management of the existing stock needs be adopted. It is proposed to implement supplementary stocking programs for the project area.

In addition to reservoir area, it is proposed to stock river Satluj on the upstream and downstream side of the barrage site. The rate of stocking is proposed as 100 fingerlings of about 30 mm size per km. For reservoir area, the rate of stocking could be 200 fingerlings of about 30 mm size per Ha.

CHAPTER-4 PUBLIC HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

4.1 INTRODUCTION

The data on major disease in the study area collected from Primary Health Centre (PHC), district health officer and village Panchayat office. The primary data also collected by interview of the local people at the time of socio-economic survey. The prevalent diseases are acute respiratory infection, diahorea and eye infection. Malaria and typhoid are not reported in the study area. The initial health assessment reveals that there is no specific health hazard in the study area. It was also observed that there are no vector borne diseases are prevalent. A protective strategy is recommended to prevent incidence of water-borne and vector-borne diseases in the area. Water pollution problems are not likely as the study area is devoid of industries.

4.2 IMPACTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH

The construction of barrage may involve many diversified activities and require a large number of labors. The change in population density through immigrants/influx may cause new health problems in this region. People may carry different types of contagious diseases if any spread in locality. Influx of human work force may also bring stress on available drinking water sources and sanitary facilities. The additional domestic sewage generated may cause drinking water contamination resulting in spread of enteric diseases if not taken proper precautionary measures.

The proposed project would lead to increase in the water spread area with corresponding increase in shore line. This is expected to increase the incidence of malaria in project area and its surroundings. However, impacts on this account are not expected to be significant.

4.3 PUBLIC HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

4.3.1 Control of malaria

The increase in water fringe area provides suitable habitats for the growth of vectors of various diseases and they are likely to increase the incidence of water-related diseases. Malaria is the water related major vector-borne disease. Thus, malaria control measures which aim at destroying the habitat and interrupting the life cycle by mechanical or biological or chemical means need to be implemented. Various Primary Health Centres in the nearby villages and Hospital at Rekong Peo and Shimla can coordinate the anti-malarial operations in association with the project authorities. The suggested measures are given in following paragraphs:

o The site selected for habitation of workers should not be in the path of natural drainage.

o Adequate drainage system to dispose storm water drainage from the labour colonies should be provided.

o Adequate vaccination and immunization facilities should be provided for workers at the construction site.

o The labour camps and resettlement sites should be at least 2 km away from a main water body or quarry areas.



4.3.2 Development of medical facilities A population of about 3,200 is likely to congregate during the construction phase. The labour population will be concentrated at two or three sites. It is proposed to develop a hospital with 50 beds indoor patients and 3 doctor (General Practitioner) on the left bank of river Satluj. On right bank, there is already a district level hospital at Rekong Peo, which at present is under operation. It is recommended that the hospital should be developed during project construction phase itself, so that it can serve the labour population migrating in the area as well as the local population.

The details of manpower, infrastructure requirement for hospital on the left bank are given as below.

Manpower Doctor : 3 Qualification : M.B.B.S./ M.D

2 doctors can be employed in the dispensary and will reside in the staff quarters adjacent to the dispensary. The para-medical staff required for assistance to these doctors is given in Table - 4.1.

TABLE - 4.1 Details of Para-medical staff for Dispensary Para medical staff Number Auxiliary Nurse 6 Male Multipurpose Health worker 6 Attendants 6 Driver 8 Infrastructure

A building shall be constructed for the hospital. The building would have place for the following: - Three rooms for doctors, - Five room for staff, - Three rooms for stores, - Two general ward to accommodate 50 beds, - One minor operation theater/ dressing room, - One garage with space for eight vehicles, Residential accommodation is to be provided to the essential staff in the campus.

Proposed Health Facilities at Construction sites and labour camp It is possible that during the construction work, the technical staffs operating different equipment are not only exposed to the physical strain of work but also to the physical effects of the environment in which they are working. The workers and other technical staff may come up with common manifestations such as insect bites, fever, diarrhea, work exhaustion and other diseases. In addition they may invariably come up with injuries caused by accidents at work site. Under all circumstances, workers need immediate medical care.

A first-aid post is to be provided at each of the major construction sites, so that workers are immediately attended to in case of an injury or accident.

This first-aid post will have at least the following facilities: - First aid box with essential medicines including ORS packets, - First aid appliances-splints and dressing materials, - Stretcher, wheel chair, etc.



4.3.3 HIV/AIDS PREVENTIONS AND MANAGEMENT Health Extension Activities

Following actions could be initiated for community health outreach programs to emphasize long-term improvements in region’s health status:

Augment existing government and NGO health programs. Priority on health education for workers and community residents through health

checkup camps. Vaccination programs will be included in such camps.

HIV/AIDS Risk Level The project may cause spread of HIV/AIDS in the project area due to following reasons:

Project requires long-term input of Labor from outside the area. Project requires significant numbers of employees who will be separated from their

families for long periods of time. Project involves the creation of temporary construction labour camp(s). Increases mobility of people in and out of the area (job seekers, formal and

informal service providers). Requires participation of the local population.

Potential Management Interventions for HIV/AIDS Following are the proposed management interventions to prevent HIV transmission and to manage its impact:

Specific HIV prevention activities: Social customs restrict or prevent intermixing of immigrants with natives. This is

established in other ongoing projects. HIV/STD/AIDS awareness in Information, Education and Communication (IEC)

activities. Peer education programs within the workforce. Condoms provision at medical camps. Training of health personnel, social marketing of condoms, technical and material

support to STD clinics, etc. Periodic health and safety trainings to workers.

Specific HIV/AIDS management & mitigation activities:

• Voluntary counseling and testing for health awareness, free condoms distribution and screening for sexually transmitted diseases.

• Treatment of opportunistic infections. • Recreation provision. • Remittance provision. • Labor transport.

There will be meaningful consultations with local communities so that management measures are culturally appropriate locally, and will have community support. The HIV/AIDS/STD management plans would be compatible and integrated with local, and state initiatives, and be implemented in consultation with State AIDS Control Society (SACS).

To effectively address the HIV/AIDS issues and the associated risks, the contractors will associate with the SACS fully and without any failure or excuse. HPPCL will insist that the



contractors implement all advice from the SACS. In addition, the contractors will be obliged to implement regular and periodic awareness campaign on HIV/AIDS, provide for all awareness materials and their dissemination, including erecting signage in prominent areas; and to provide and maintain condom vending machines in all work areas including construction camps, toilet booths, and work sites.

• Screen • Grit chamber • Equalization tank • Neutralization tank • Clari-floculator • Activated carbon filter. • Ozonator • Guard pond

The cost required for various treatment units is included in the cost of development of dispensary.



CHAPTER-5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN LABOUR CAMPS

5.1 INTRODUCTION The aggregation of large number of works and technical labour in the project area during the construction of phase is likely to put considerable stress on the ecosystem of the area. The labour camps are likely to be developed near Ralli and Karchham. The aim of the EMP is to minimize these stresses. It should be made mandatory for the contractor to provide adequate facilities at the labour camp which are described in the following sections. The labor camps are situated at fair distance from local population. It has also been observed that local population don’t mix with labor population and are often busy in their own daily activities. The past experiences with similar projects have shown that labor remains within the labor camp as the basic necessities/ amenities are provided to them in labor camp itself.

5.2 PROVISION OF HEATING The contractor can make a block of two large rooms in which about 30-40 workers can stay. Community toilets for each block can be constructed close by. During winter months, a central heating system can also be provided, to avoid cutting of trees to meet the fuel requirements to heat the water required for various uses by workers. 5.3 PROVISION OF WATER SUPPLY The water for drinking purpose is collected from the rivers or streams flowing upstream of the labour camps. The water is stored in tanks and supplied for use. The water quality in general is good and does not require any elaborate treatment. However, it is proposed to disinfect the water prior to distribution. The settlements/ labour camps shall be placed far from the drinking water sources. Septic tanks with soak pits for labor camps will be provided to protect water sources and nearby area from contamination. It can also be used as manure for plantations to be taken up either by the project or HP Forest Department. The inorganic/non-cyclable solid waste from the soak pits will be disposed in lined pits/landfill sites to be developed in dumping areas as guided by Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board (HPSPCB).

5.4 SANITATION AND SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES One community latrine can be provided per 20 persons. The sewage from the community latrines can be treated in oxidation ditch. Each labour camp can be provided with an Oxidation ditch. The treated effluent from oxidation ditch will be disposed off in nearest water body. However, efforts shall be made to ensure, that treated effluent is disposed only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements. The total construction time for the project is 6 years. At peak construction phase, there will be an increase in population by 3,200. It is proposed to construct a construction camp at Powari and Ralli villages To ensure that the sewage from the labour camp do not pollute the river water, it has been estimated that about 160 community latrines and a sewage treatment plant can be constructed. The total cost required will be Rs.6.20 million, details given in Table-5.1.



TABLE- 5.1

Cost Estimate for sanitary facilities for labour camps S. No. Unit Rate (Rs./unit)

Number Total cost (Rs. million)

1 Community latrines 20,000 160 3.20 2 Sewage Treatment Plant - 3.0 Total 6.20

5.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FROM LABOUR CAMPS The labour colony will be located at barrage site, powerhouse and at adit sites. During construction phase, about 800 labour and 200 technical staff is likely to congregate. The increase in total population at site is expected to be of the order of 3,200. As per GoHP Hydro Power Policy 2007, 70% of employment will be given to Himachal residents. Thus, the peak labor population during peak period will be much less than 3,200 as it includes the family size of labors Table 5.2 provides year wise distribution of construction workers, starting from the year of commencement (say 2011-2012) of civil works at different working sites. The solid waste likely to be generated from labour camps shall be of the order of 0.64 tonnes /day. Adequate facilities for collection, conveyance and disposal of solid waste need to be developed. The inorganic and non-recyclable solid waste will be disposed at the designated landfill sites. A landfill can be designed in the way as given below, if we start from the bottom, bottom most layer is impervious clay, then second layer is impervious liner.

(Geo-membrane), Third layer is sand, after that well compacted solid waste is to be put over the sand, then again a layer of clay, finally a layer of soil. Some vegetation can be done at the top most layer. It will give a good aesthetic view of landfill. Various aspects of solid waste management include:

Refuse storage

In the proposed project, labour camps are proposed to be located at two or three location. In each of the labour colony, provisions shall be made to separately store the degradable and non-degradable solid waste.

A solid waste collection truck will be commissioned to collect the solid waste. Efforts will be made to separately collect the degradable and non-degradable solid waste. For this purpose workers will be provided with two separate dust bins to segregate the bio-degradable as well as non-biodegradable wastes. A sustained awareness programme will



be conducted to educate worker about the segregation of degradable and bio-degradable wastes.

Disposal

The solid waste would be treated in an incinerator. It has been the experience of HPPCL that HPSPCB does not accord “Consent to Establish” without the provisions for incinerator. Also, land is a limited resource in Himachal Pradesh. 66% of total geographical area is legally classified forests and controlled by HP Forests Department and it does not allow land for landfills if other alternatives are available even if they are little costly. At such high altitude and such a low temperature composting is not feasible around the year which requires high temperature and relative humidity. Therefore provision of incineration in addition to usual means has been made.

Solid and Medical waste Incinerator (proposed design) Capacity - 250 kg capacity per batch

Specifications - Heavy duty refractory lined (rated 1,550°C), cylindrical primary and secondary chamber, Primary chamber temperatures in excess of 1,000°C and secondary chamber temperatures of above 900°C with a 1.0 second gas retention time. Automatic control system provides preset burn times and shut off.

Cost – Rs. 0.35 million (approx.), However at the time of actual implementation incinerator as per most suitable technology for the specific site will be adopted which may be different from design suggested here.

The ashes and burnt material of incinerator though will be miniscule in quantity yet it will be kept in suitable lined pit near/in dumping area. The Incinerator will be run by HPPCL staff.

The ashes and burnt material of incinerator though will be miniscule in quantity yet it will be kept in suitable lined pit near/in dumping area. No separate clearance for this activity is required.

The total cost required for solid waste management is Rs.8.85 million. The details are given in Table - 5.3.

3 Incinerator cost 3.50 4 Awareness programs 0.50

Total 8.85 5.6 PROVISION OF FREE FUEL It is recommended that, during the construction phase of hydroelectric projects, the project authorities have to make proper/ adequate arrangements for meeting the demand of fuel supply to the laborers/ workmen engaged through the contractors so that illegal felling of tress does not take place in the nearby forest area situated around the project as these projects are normally located in the far-flung remote areas to the forests. The basic aim and objectives behind this measure are to:



- control the illegal felling of trees, - make a sound and eco-friendly project by providing proper fuel arrangements to the

laborers/ workmen, - make the project responsible for catering to the demand of fuel for

laborers/workmen, - maintain the forest cover and environment of the region, where project is being

located. As a part of EMP, it is recommended to: - make a clause mandatory in the contract of every contractor involved in project

construction to provide supply of fuel to their laborers, so that trees are not cut for meeting their fuel demands.

- establish LPG godown within the project area for providing LPG cylinder to run community kitchens.

- establish kerosene oil depot near project area with the help of state government to ensure proper supply of kerosene oil.

- The contractor of HPPCL has to provide community kitchen along with heating arrangement for the labor force.

- The labor residing in labor camps will get their daily provisions at the labor camps itself or in the shops within the project colonies or in vicinity to be run by PAF’s. The increase in demand of provisions is likely to improve supplies which are limited and costly in these areas. The increased demand supplies will improve availability at affordable prices. Besides, PAF’s will be given shops in project colonies which add to supply position.

The project proponents in association with the state government should make necessary arrangements for distribution of kerosene oil and LPG. These fuels would be supplied at subsidized rates to the local/contract laborers for which provision should be kept in the cost estimate. The total cost required for provisions of fuel works out to Rs. 29.67 million. The details are given in Tables 5.4 to 5.6.

5.9 IMPLEMENTING AGENCY Various measures recommended in this chapter shall be included in the contract document of the contractor involved in construction activities. The implementation of these measures shall be monitored by the project proponents. However, the site for disposal of treated sewage from sewage treatment plant and solid waste shall be identified in consultation with district administration.



CHAPTER-6 MUCK MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1 INTRODUCTION A large quantity of muck is expected to be generated as a result of tunneling operations, construction of roads, etc. Muck generated from excavation of any project component is required to be disposed in a planned manner so that it takes a least possible space and is not hazardous to the environment. The muck disposal sites cause increased sedimentation in the rivers (though insignificant compared to natural sedimentation) and totally spoils the visual aesthetics of the area. It is of prime importance that these sites will have to be rehabilitated as soon as the disposal sites are full.

6.2 MUCK GENERATION A large quantity of muck is expected to be generated as a result of tunneling operations, construction of roads, etc. The total quantity of muck to be generated is about 2.55 (Million Meter Cube) Mm3. This includes 0.69 Mm3 of open excavation and 1.86 Mm3 of underground excavation. The component wise details of muck to be generated are given in Table-6.1 and details of consumptive use of muck is given in Table-6.2. The excess muck has to be dumped at six sites.

Normally, muck is disposed in low-lying areas or depressions. Trees, if any, are cut before muck disposal, however, shrubs, grass or other types of undergrowth in the muck disposal at sites perish. The total area earmarked for muck disposal is 10.0944 ha.

Muck generated from excavation of any project component is required to be disposed in a planned manner so that it takes a least possible space and is not hazardous to the environment. In the hilly area, dumping is done after creating terraces thus usable terraces are developed. The overall idea is to enhance/maintain aesthetic view in the surrounding area of the project in post-construction period and avoid contamination of any land or water resource due to muck disposal.

Suitable retaining walls shall be constructed to develop terraces so as to support the muck on vertical slope and for optimum space utilization. Loose muck would be compacted layer wise. The muck disposal area will be developed in a series of terraces of boulder crate wall and masonry wall to protect the area/muck from flood water during monsoons. In-between the terraces, catch water drain will be provided.

The terraces of the muck disposal area will be ultimately covered with fertile soil and suitable plants will be planted adopting suitable bio-technological measures. The basic aim and objectives of the muck management plan are to:

• protect these areas from soil erosion; • develop these areas by afforestation; • develop them into parks, gardens etc; • utilize the maximum quantity of muck for development of infrastructure of the project; • develop these areas in harmony with the landscape of the project area. Various activities proposed as a part of the management plan are given as below: • Land acquisition for muck dumping sites; • Civil works (construction of retaining walls, boulder crate walls etc.); • Dumping of muck; • Leveling of the area, terracing and implementation of various engineering control measures e.g., boulder, crate wall, masonry wall, catch water drain. • Spreading of soil; • Application of fertilizers to facilitate vegetation growth over disposal sites; For stabilization of muck dumping areas following measures of engineering and biological measures have been proposed. Engineering Measures

• Wire crate wall; • Boulder crate wall; • R.C.C; • Catch water Drain The retaining walls provided the dumping area shall be designed to withstand severe earth quakes. For this, the site specific seismic studies for Shongtong Karchham HEP have been conducted by IIT Roorkee . The project structures including retaining walls will be designed to withstand most severe earthquake condition by adopting appropriate design parameters for this condition as per the report.



Biological Measures

• Plantation of suitable tree species and soil binding species; • Plantation of ornamental plants; • Barbed wire fencing. Muck generally lacks nutrients and therefore, is difficult to re-vegetate. However, if no attempts to vegetate the slopes are made, the muck could slide lower down during rain and may eventually wash off the check dams also. Since, top soils are not available in large quantities in Himalayas; it may not be possible to apply a thin layer of soil over the muck. Bio-fertilizer technique developed by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) can be adopted in the proposed project. NHPC has successfully used this technique in Uri hydroelectric project. Similar approach can be utilized in the proposed project as well. In this process, the unused excavated material is piled and stacked with proper slopes at the designated muck disposal sites. The slopes are broken up by creating benches across them. This is done to provide stability to the slopes and also to provide ample space for planting of trees that would further help in holding and consolidating biotechnological approach. The traditional methods of afforestation of these areas would be supplemented with the use of fungus, i.e. Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrizae (VAM) and nitrogen fixing bacteria that form partnership with plant roots. These grow on plant roots and provide water and nutrition especially phosphorus to plants at faster rate. The seeding of plants would be inoculated with VAM and nitrogen fixing bacteria before planting. It has been found that plants inoculated with bio-fertilizers grow at faster rate especially in the medium where the soil/rock is devoid of nutrients. The afforestation with suitable plant species shall be done. About 1,000-1,200 trees/Ha shall be planted. Major species recommended for plantation are listed in Table-6.4.

CHAPTER - 7 RESTORATION AND LANDSCAPING OF CONSTRUCTION SITES

7.1 INTRODUCTION The landscape and restoration plan targets towards overall improvement in the condition of the area. The landscape plan provides benefits to improve beautification and its utility. All the activities are aimed at restoring the areas where scars would be formed. The restoration would prevent soil erosion enhance forest cover and stabilize degraded areas.

7.2 RESTORATION PLAN FOR QUARRY SITE AND BORROW AREA A project of this magnitude would require significant amount of construction material. The details are given in Table-7.1.

TABLE-7.1 Detail of Construction Material Required S. No. Material Unit Quantity 1. Coarse aggregate lac m3 2.97 2. Fine aggregate lac m3 1.50 3. Cement MT 14,000 4. Structural steel MT 6,200 5. Reinforcement steel MT 20,323 6. High Tensile steel MT 12,824

The sand required for the project is proposed to be taken from Satluj river bank. An aggregate manufacturing equipment sand processing plant will be located at quarry site near village Powari, the site is away from habitation. The impervious material required for cofferdam will be met locally. The material for riprap is available on the river banks at site.

The cement will be transported from ACC Barmana and Ambuja cement factories. The steel transported from Jalandhar by road. The quarrying operations are semi-mechanized in nature. Normally, in a hilly terrain like Himachal Pradesh, quarrying is normally done by cutting a face of the hill. A permanent scar is likely to be left, once quarrying activities are over. With the passage of time, the rock from the exposed face of the quarry under the action of wind and other erosion forces, get slowly weathered and after some time, they become a potential source of landslide. Thus it is necessary to implement appropriate slope stabilization measures to prevent the possibility of soil erosion and landslides in the quarry sites.

Similarly, the proposed project would require significant amount of fine material, which can be met either by crushing the aggregates or by excavation from borrow areas. In the proposed project, large quantity of fines shall be required, which would entail excavation from borrow pits. Normally, such sites are left untreated after excavation of the construction material. The pit so created impedes the natural drainage, increases the potential for soil erosion and stores rain water and runoff. These pools of water can serve as habitats for proliferation of mosquitoes, which can lead to increased incidence of vector-borne diseases.

RESTORATION PLAN FOR QUARRY SITE AND BORROW AREA The following biological and engineering measures are suggested for the restoration of quarry site:

• Garland drains around quarry site to capture the runoff and divert the same to the nearest natural drain.



• Construction of concrete guards check the soil erosion of the area. • The pit formed after excavation be filled with small rocks, sand and farmyard manure. • Grass slabs will be placed to stabilized and to check the surface runoff of water and loose

soil. Since the quarry site is in the submergence area thus, the River Bed Mining (RBM) material will replenish itself annually in monsoon season. Since no gangue or mine spoil will be generated (RBM has 100% utilization rate) therefore there is no need for disposal. The quarried material will be stacked at leveled dumping site. As per Muck Management Plan, excess capacity for dumping is available. Figure 1.1, gives the pectoral view of submergence area and Table 1.1, in Chapter 1, gives detail of trees required to be cut in submergence area, Table 7.2 gives details of availability of raw material for construction.

TOTAL 157,141.75 say (157,142.00)

Since all the sites are in river bed thus they will replenish themselves every year. So for the 5½ years of construction phase it will comes out to be = 157,142 x 5 ½ = 864279.625 cubic meters = 0.86 million cubic meters

In case the required material fell short of demand then HPPCL will use its already existing quarry of Kashang Project at Jangi.

The necessary NOCs/approval from the mining department and other approvals for use of quarry sites will be taken after acquisition of land.

At the present level of investigations a tentative provision of Rs.10.5 million can be earmarked for quarry and borrow slope stabilization. The details are given in Table-7.3.

7.3. LANDSCAPING AND RESTORATION PLAN Area for landscaping: The working areas of barrage site, power house complex colony area have been selected for beautification of the project area after construction is over.

The reservoir created due to the construction of barrage may be a local point of tourist attraction. This could be used for sport fishing, so there is a need to construction of benches for sitting, development of resting sheds and footpath. The beautification would be carried out by developing flowering beds for plantation ornamental plant and flower garden.

There would be sufficient open space in power house complex and colony area. Forested area in the power house complex would provide aesthetic view and add to natural seismic beauty. The beautification in the colony area would be carried out by development of flowering beds for plantation of ornamental plant, creepers, flower garden and a small park, construction of benches for sitting, resting sheds, walk way and fountain. A provision of Rs.5.0 million has been earmarked for landscaping and beautification of the area.

8.1 INTRODUCTION The widening and construction of approach roads to Project components will be done in a stretch of 10.44 km with a width of 5/7 meters of road well within the project area of 3 sq. km. This will help in smooth movement of traffic which will take care of increase in traffic due to project activity. Details of roads to be constructed and widened are provided in Table 8.1. Realignment or relocation of the nearby National Highway – No. 22 is not required for the project. This work has already taken up by the concerned agency as part of its own departmental program which covers the whole length of the National Highway including the portion falling in the project area, and the work is already started. As such, it is not to be done as part of project activity and is not addressed in project EMP.

8.2 IMPACTS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS The construction of roads can lead to the following impacts:

• The topography of the project area has steep to precipitous slope, which descends rapidly into narrow valleys. The conditions can give rise to erosion hazards due to net downhill movement of soil aggregates.

• Removal of trees on slopes and re-working of the slopes in the immediate vicinity of roads can encourage landslides, erosion gullies, etc. With the removal of vegetal cover, erosive action of water gets pronounced and accelerates the process of soil erosion and formation of deep gullies. Consequently, the hill faces are bared of soil vegetative cover and enormous quantities of soil and rock can move down the rivers, and in some cases, the road itself may get washed out.

• Construction of new roads increases the accessibility of a hitherto undisturbed areas resulting in greater human interferences and subsequent adverse impacts on the ecosystem.

• Increased air pollution during construction phase.

All the approach roads are away from local population thus their construction will not hinder their movement and will have very minimal impact.



8.3 MANAGEMENT MEASURES The approach roads will have to be constructed as a part of the access to the construction site. In a hilly environment, construction of roads sometime disturbs the scenic beauty of the area. In addition, landslides are often triggered due to road construction because of the loosening of rocks by water trickling from various streams.

Steeply sloping banks are liable to landslides, which can largely be controlled by provision of suitable drainage. The basic principle is to intercept and divert as much water as possible, before it arrives at a point, where it becomes a nuisance. The other erosion hazard is that of surface erosion of the bank, which is best controlled by vegetation. However, in a steeply sloping terrain, difficulty lies in growing vegetation on steeply sloping banks. Engineering solutions such as surface drainage, sub-surface drainage, toe protection and rock bolting can be used. Landslides can be stabilized by several methods-engineering or bioengineering measures alone or a combination of these. The cost required for implementation of various measures has already been incorporated in the overall budget earmarked for construction of roads.

In hilly terrain, road construction often generates significant quantity of wastes (muck) due to the stripping of the rocks to make way for the roads. The stripped muck is generally cleared by dumping the material along the slopes. These dumped materials finally flow down to the valleys and ultimately finds its way to the river.

However, it is recommended to adopt a more systematic approach. The stripped material should be collected and dumped in the designated muck disposal area, which will have retaining wall to prevent the muck to flow down into the river. After disposal operation is complete at the dumpsite, the dump yard should be contoured and vegetated.

The various aspects to be considered while making the project roads are briefly described in the following paragraphs.

Construction

• Area for clearing and grubbing shall be kept minimum, subject to the technical requirements of the road. The clearing area shall be properly demarcated to save desirable trees and shrubs and to keep tree cutting to the minimum.

• Where erosion is likely to be a problem, clearing and grubbing operations shall be so scheduled and performed that grading operations and permanent erosion control of features can follow immediately thereafter, if the project conditions permit; otherwise temporary erosion control measures shall be provided between successive construction stages. Under no circumstances, however, should very large surface area of erodible earth material be exposed at any one time by clearing and grubbing.

• The method of balanced cut and fill formation shall be adopted to avoid large difference in cut and fill quantities.

• The cut slopes shall be suitably protected by breast walls, provision of flat stable slopes, construction of catch water and intercepting drains, treatment of slopes and unstable areas above and underneath the road, etc.

• Where rock blasting is involved, controlled blasting techniques shall be adopted to avoid over-shattering of hill faces.

• Excavated material should not be thrown haphazardly but dumped duly dressed up in a suitable form at appropriate places where it cannot get easily washed away by rain, and such spoil deposits may be duly trapped or provided with some vegetative cover.



Drainage • Drainage of the water from hill slopes and road surface is very important. All artificial

drains shall be linked with the existing natural drainage system. • Surface drains shall have gentle slopes. Where falls in levels are to be negotiated,

check dams with silting basins shall be constructed and that soil is not eroded and carried away by high velocity flows.

• Location and alignment of culverts should also be so chosen as to avoid severe erosion at outlets and siltation at inlets.

Grassing and Planting • Tree felling for road construction/works should be kept bare minimum and strict control

must be exercised in consultation with the Forest department. Equivalent amount of new trees should be planted as integral part of the project within the available land and if necessary, separate additional land may be acquired for this purpose.

• Depending on the availability of land and other resources, afforestation of roadside land should be carried out to a sufficient distance on either side of the road.

Other measures • Watch will be sprayed regularly during construction phase of the roads to prevent

entrainment of dust. • Regular compaction of temporary roads.

8.4 BUDGET An amount of Rs. 3.12 million has been earmarked for implementation of measures to mitigate adverse impacts due to construction of roads. The details are given in Table -8.2.

CHAPTER-9 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION The greenbelt development plan aims to overall improvement in the environmental conditions of the region. The plan with a five-fold objective addresses issues such as prevention of land degradation due to activities during construction phase; enhancing the forest cover for increasing the biodiversity of the region; providing aesthetic value to the project area and consequently inviting a proportionate tourist flux; enhancing the ecological equilibrium of the area; and to a large proportion in combating soil erosion. Although, the forest loss due to reservoir submergence, and other project appurtenances will be compensated as a part of compensatory afforestation. It is proposed to develop greenbelt around the periphery of various project appurtenances, selected stretches along reservoir periphery.

9.2 NEED FOR GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN The green belt on either side of the reservoir will reduce the sedimentation and ensure protection of the reservoir area from any other human activity that could result in the reservoir catchment damage. On moderately steep slopes tree species will be planted for the creation of green belt which are indigenous, economically important, soil binding in nature and an thrive well under high humidity and flood conditions. In addition greenbelt is recommended around permanent colony for the project.

9.3 SCHEME FOR GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT The scheme of plantation around the reservoir is given as follows:

i) The green belt will start from the immediate vicinity of the reservoir rim on both the banks; up to the tail of the reservoir moderately steep slopes are available for plantation.

ii) The width of the green belt will be around 40 m or as physiographic and land features allow. There would be at least 2-3 layers of plantation. The plantation will start along 1960 m contour level and would go up to 2,000 m contour level from the barrage axis up to the tail of the river.

iii) The row of tree species nearest the rim will constitute water loving species, preferably Alnus nitida, Salix spp., Populus spp. These species will thrive very well at these altitudes.

iv) Towards higher altitudes of the reservoir the rows around the reservoir may include Aesculus indica, Populus ciliata, in addition to Salix spp.

v) The middle rows of the green belt will comprise species like Juglans regia, Acer pictum, Celtis tetrandra.

vi) The outermost layer of the green belt will constitute of hardly tree species and shrub by mix to withstand any external influences/pressures of grazing, browsing by cattle and sheep, etc. The species best suited for this layer at lower altitudes are Prunus cornuta, Rhododendron aroboreum, Pinus wallichiana, Abies pindrow and towards higher reaches the outer layers will comprise Quercus dilatata, Acer caesium, Lyonia ovalifolia, Viburnum cotonifolium, Ulmus wallichiana and Aesculus indica.

vii) The green belt will be put under a protective regulatory framework to ensure that it is not degraded or disturbed. No ecologically disruptive activity will be allowed in this zone.



9.4 BUDGET The plantations would be carried out on an approximate area of 40 Ha. This work would be completed in two years at an estimated cost of Rs.4.0 million at the rate of Rs.100,000/- per Ha which includes the cost of nursery creation, advance works, actual plantations and maintenance. The plantation for this purpose will be carried out by Forest department.

CHAPTER-10 CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION

10.1 IMPACTS ON AIR QUALITY In a water resources project, air pollution occurs mainly during project construction phase. The major sources of air pollution during construction phase are:

• Fuel combustion in various construction equipment, e.g. crushers, drillers, rock bolters, diesel generating vehicles, etc.

• Fugitive emissions from crusher, • Impacts due to vehicular movement.

a) Pollution due to fuel combustion in various equipment The operation of various construction equipment requires of combustion of fuel. Normally, diesel is used in such equipment. The major pollutant, which gets emitted as a result of diesel combustion, is SO2. The SPM emissions are minimal due to low ash content. Based on past experience in similar projects, SPM and SO2 are not expected to increase significantly. Thus, in the proposed project, no significant impact on ambient air quality is expected as a result of operation of various construction equipment.

b) Emissions from various crushers The operation of the crusher during the construction phase is likely to generate fugitive emissions, which can move even up to 1 km in predominant wind direction. During construction phase, an aggregate manufacturing plant with crusher is likely to be commissioned near village Jurgi. During crushing operations, fugitive emissions comprising of the suspended particulate will be generated. There could be marginal impacts to settlements close to the sites at which crushers are commissioned. However, based on past experience, adverse impacts on this account are not anticipated. However, during finalizing the project layout, it should be ensured that the labour camps, colonies, etc. are located on the leeward side and outside the impact zone (about 1.5 to 2 km) of the crushers.

c) Impacts due to vehicular movement The traffic density in project area is high as its located adjacent to NH-22 and even at this high traffic density, the values recorded for ambient air quality monitoring during EIA study are less than 5 µg/m³. Thus, it has been assumed that due to project activity, even if the traffic density gets doubles, the corresponding values for ambient air quality are not likely to exceed 10 µg/m³, which is still at very lower level to the national permissible standard at 80 µg/m³ for applicable category. Table 11.2 gives the detail of Vehicles Movement during project cycle. The details of comparison between the changes in air quality due to increased traffic areas given in Table 10.1.



Table 10.1: Impact on air and noise quality Parameters Baseline Data

as per EIA Change in air quality due to project activities (assumption)

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

NOx (µg/m³) <5 10 80 Sox (µg/m³) <5 10 80 Noise (dB (A)) 36 (max.) 65 (day time) 75

Thus, the increase in traffic due to project activity will not have much impact on the air quality of the project area (i.e. 3 sq. km). Construction and widening of approach roads to project components will be done in a stretch of 10.44 km with a width of 5/7 meters within the project area of 3 sq km. The widening of these small roads will facilitate smooth movement of traffic between various components of the project during construction phase. 10.2 MITIGATION MEASURES

a) Control of Emissions Minor air quality impacts will be caused by emissions from construction vehicles, equipment and DG sets, and emissions from transportation traffic. Frequent truck trips will be required during the construction period for removal of excavated material and delivery of select concrete and other equipment and materials. The following measures are recommended to control air pollution:

• The contractor will be responsible for maintaining properly functioning construction equipment to minimize exhaust.

• Construction equipment and vehicles will be turned off when not used for extended periods of time.

• Unnecessary idling of construction vehicles to be prohibited.

• Effective traffic management to be undertaken to avoid significant delays in and around the project area.

• Road damage caused by sub-project activities will be promptly attended to with proper road repair and maintenance work. An amount of Rs. 2.0 million is earmarked for this purpose.

• Proper water sprinkling (round the clock) will be done to minimize the air pollution due to dust emission.

• Only pollution under check/norm compliant vehicles of the project will be allowed to be use in the project area. Checks for smoke emission due to vehicular movement of the project vehicles, as a part of monitoring program will be done. Environment Monitoring Program has been updated to this extent.

b) Air Pollution control due to DG sets The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued emission limits for generators up to 800 KW. The same are outlined in Table-10.1, and are recommended to be followed.



TABLE-10.2: Emission limits for DG sets prescribed by CPCB Parameter Emission limits (gm/kwhr) NOx 9.2 HC 1.3 CO 2.5 PM 0.3 Smoke limit* 0.7

Note : * Light absorption coefficient at full load (m-1) The above standards need to follow by the contractor operating the DG sets.

c) Dust Control The project authorities will work closely with representatives from the community living in the vicinity of project area to identify areas of concern and to mitigate dust-related impacts effectively (e.g., through direct meetings, utilization of construction management and inspection program, and/or through the complaint response program). To minimize issues related to the generation of dust during the construction phase of the project, the following measures have been identified:

• Identification of construction limits (minimal area required for construction activities).

• When practical, excavated spoils will be removed as the contractor proceeds along the length of the activity.

• When necessary, stockpiling of excavated material will be covered or staged offsite location with muck being delivered as needed during the course of construction.

• Excessive soil on paved areas will be sprayed (wet) and/or swept and unpaved areas will be sprayed and/or mulched. The use of petroleum products or similar products for such activities will be strictly prohibited.

• Contractors will be required to cover stockpiled soils and trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials (or require trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard).

• Contractor shall ensure that there is effective traffic management at site. The number of trucks/vehicles to move at various construction sites to be fixed. Three personnel will be earmarked for this purpose.

• Dust sweeping - The construction area and vicinity (access roads, and working areas) shall be swept with water sweepers on a daily basis or as necessary to ensure there is no visible dust. Five sweepers will be earmarked for this purpose.



10.3 BUDGET An amount of Rs. 12.72 million is earmarked for air pollution control. The details are given in Table-10.3.

Total 12.72 10.4 IMPLEMENTING AGENCY The above referred management measures shall be implemented by the Contractor involved in construction phase. The same shall be monitored on a regular basis by the project proponents.



CHAPTER-11 MEASURES FOR NOISE CONTROL

11.1 IMPACTS ON NOISE LEVELS In a water resource projects, the impacts on ambient noise levels are expected only during the project construction phase, due to earth moving machinery, etc. Likewise, noise due to quarrying, blasting, vehicular movement will have some adverse impact on the ambient noise levels in the area.

11.2 MITIGATION MEASURES The contractors will be required to maintain properly functioning equipment and comply with occupational safety and health standards. The construction equipment will be required to use available noise suppression devices and properly maintained mufflers.

• Vehicles to be equipped with mufflers recommended by the vehicle manufacturer; • staging of construction equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment within noise;

sensitive areas to be avoided whenever possible; • use of temporary sound fences or barriers to be evaluated; • notification will be given to residents within 300 feet (about 90 m) of major noise generating

activities. The notification will describe the noise abatement measures that will be implemented;

• Monitoring of noise levels will be conducted during the construction phase of the project. In case of exceeding of pre-determined acceptable noise levels by the machinery will require the contractor(s) to stop work and remedy the situation prior to continuing construction.

The following Noise Standards for DG sets are recommended for the running of DG sets during the construction: • The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator sets with

rated capacity up to 1,000 kVA shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 m from the enclosure surface. • Noise from the DG set should be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by

treating the enclosure acoustically. • The Acoustic Enclosure should be made of CRCA sheets of appropriate thickness and

structural/ sheet metal base. The walls of the enclosure should be insulated with fire retardant foam so as to comply with the 75 dB (A) at 1 m sound levels specified by CPCB, Ministry of Environment & Forests. An amount of Rs. 0.5 million is earmarked for this purpose.

• The acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room should be designed for minimum 25 dB (A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the higher side.

• The DG set should also be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A).

• Proper efforts to be made to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set, outside its premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control measures.

• A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help prevent



noise levels of the DG set from deteriorating with use. An amount of Rs. 0.6 million is earmarked for this purpose.

Noise due to crushers Based on literature review, noise generated by crushers is in the range of 79-80 dB (A) at a distance of 250 ft or 80 m from the crusher. Thus, noise level at a distance of 2 m from the crusher shall be of the order of 110 dB (A). The exposure to labour operating in such high noise areas shall be restricted upto 30 minutes on a daily basis. Alternatively the workers need to be provided with ear muffs or plugs, so as to attenuate the noise level near the crusher by at least 15 dB (A). The exposure to noise level in such a scenario is limited up to 4 hours per day.

It is known that continuous exposure to noise levels above 90 dB (A) affects the hearing of the workers/operators and hence has to be avoided. Other physiological and psychological effects have also been reported in literature, but the effect on hearing acuity has been specially stressed. To prevent these effects, it has been recommended by international specialist organizations that the exposure period of affected persons be limited as specified in Table-11.1.

TABLE-11.1 Maximum Exposure Periods specified by OSHA

Maximum equivalent continuous noise level dB (A)

Unprotected exposure period per day for 8 hrs/day and 5 days/week

90 8 95 4 100 2 105 1 110 1/2 115 ¼ 120 No exposure permitted at or this level

11.2.1 Noise due to vehicles movement The Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) standard for noise for Industrial area during day time are 75 dB (A) and during night time it is 70 dB (A). As per the baseline established during EIA study, the pre-project maximum noise level is 36 dB (A). If the noise level is doubled due to increase in traffic from project activities, even then the limits will be well within the noise standards as prescribed by CPCB.

The total 60 no. of vehicles movement per day during construction phase will be expected in whole project area, i.e. in a stretch of 12 km. These vehicle movements will not be at a single point source but will be at different places in the entire project area. The proposed detail of vehicular movement is given in Table 11.2.

CHAPTER-12 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL

12.1 CONTROL OF WATER POLLUTION DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During project construction phase, sufficient measures need to be implemented to ameliorate the problem of water pollution from various sources. The sewage generated from various labour camps is proposed to be treated in an oxidation ditch, prior to its disposal. However, efforts shall be made to discharge the treated effluent only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements.

The construction activities would require a crusher to crush large lumps of rocks to the requisite size for coarse as well as fine aggregates. The effluent generated from these crushers will have high-suspended solids. The effluent needs to be treated before disposal. Settling tanks of appropriate size for treatment of effluent from various crushers should be provided.

During tunneling work the ground water flows into the tunnel along with construction water, which is used for various works like drilling, shortcreting, etc. The effluent thus generated in the tunnel contains high suspended solids. Normally, water is collected in the side drains and drained off into the nearest water body without treatment. It is recommended to construct a settling tank of adequate size to settle the suspended impurities. It is expected that about 2 to 3 adits shall be required for the tunneling work. Thus, effluents are expected to be generated from 2 to 3 locations. The sludge from the various settling tanks can be collected once in 15 days and disposed at the site designed for disposal of municipal solid wastes from the labour camps. The sludge after drying could also be used as cover material for landfill disposal site. An amount of Rs.3.0 million needs to be earmarked for construction of various settling tanks.

12.2 CONTROL OF WATER POLLUTION DURING OPERATION PHASE

In the project operation phase, a plant colony with 30 quarters is likely to be set up. It is recommended to provide a suitable Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to treat the sewage generated from the colony. The cost required for construction of sewage STP in the project colony has already been covered in the budget earmarked for construction of the project colony. Hence, the cost for the same has not been included in the cost estimated for implementation of various measures outlined in the Environmental Management Plan.

12.3 TREATMENT OF SOLID WASTE FROM PROJECT COLONY A twin chamber incinerator shall be commissioned to treat the solid waste generated in the project colony.



CHAPTER 13 RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION PLAN

• Employment – as per state policy. Main PAF, if not employed by project, then @ 1000 days min. wage. Petty contract up to Rs. 5.0 lakhs to PAF. Contract vehicles preferably from PAF.

Schemes Initiated by HPPCL to perform its Corporate Social Responsibility and giving more & more benefits to PAF. • Scheme for skill up-gradation of local youth – sponsoring candidates from Project

Affected Families in ITI: This scheme is a fully sponsored scheme of HPPCL and the aim of the scheme is to upgrade the skill of PAFs to make them employable and/or self dependent. Full fee of the ITI is paid for entire duration of the course by HPPCL and the sponsored candidate is also given a scholarship of Rs. 1,000/-per month.

• Merit and Support Scholarship Scheme for wards of PAFs: The scheme aims to

enhance educational standards and employability of the wards of PAF; minimize dropouts of meritorious but financially not sound students. The subject cited scheme was initiated by HPPCL in the year 2009-10.



• Training-cum-Awareness Camps: Based on experience elsewhere that PAFs after loosing

land and getting huge amounts in compensation are unable to recoup their living standards or livelihoods, HPPCL, with a view to improve the condition of PAF has launched this scheme of providing training and/or creating awareness on a number of subjects/aspects/topics including investment counseling such as agriculture, horticulture food preservation, Non-Timber Forest Produce bee-keeping (apiculture), fish rearing, animal husbandry, rural artisan, handicraft.

• Scheme for involving Community Based Organizations: The scheme aims to involve local Community Based Organizations (CBOs) like Mahila Mandals and Yuvak Mandals in creating awareness on a number of issues and also about HPPCL like various safeguarding measures being taken by HPPCL; R&R Provisions; entitlements of PAFs; rates being offered for land compensation; and various schemes being run for PAFs etc. Nodal CBO would be identified to help HPPCL in creating awareness and CBO would get one-time financial assistance in cash or in kind to a maximum amount of Rs. 1,00,000/-.

• HPPCL sponsored annual sports event for each project separate for men and for women: The scheme aims to involve rural youth in sport activities living in the PAA/PAZ (Project Affected Area/Project Affected Zone) as youth play important role in shaping public opinion and influence decision making process within families as also help in spreading awareness about HPPCL. Tournament would be organized for various sporting activities separately for men and women. The financial norm for organizing the tournament for Team Event and Individual Event would be Rs. 30000/- and Rs. 15000/- respectively. 7 Nos of sports event have been organized in various projects.

• Competition for school students: The scheme is again an awareness exercise with CSR objectives wherein annual competitions for students of High Schools and Senior Secondary Schools in PAA and PAZ would be organized covering events like d`ebates, essay-writing, poetry competition, slogan coining, quiz, cultural activities etc. Financial norms for School level competitions are about Rs. 10,000/- per school and annual fair (Varshik mela) Rs. 2.50 lakh..

• Self Employment Scheme for Project Affected Families: This scheme is based on self employment through small business venture. This could be in the form of small industry, agriculture or horticulture based activity, animal husbandry related activity or any service. Activity could be taken up by one family or one member in the family on individual basis. The activity could also be taken up in a group where either the activity is large or there are advantages of working in a group. The objective of the scheme is to assist families for starting their own occupation towards becoming self-employed and also becoming capable to provide employment to others. Financial Assistance worth Rs. 50,000/- per applicant (sole or joint) will be provided to the eligible families fulfilling the requirement for this assistance.

• R&R Medical Fund Scheme: HPPCL has instituted a dedicated fund titled as ‘R&R Medical Fund’. This fund can be accessed for meeting the expenses on medical facilities not covered in any other scheme/plan of HPPCL or for supplementing such expenses under other schemes as per requirement. The principal aim of the scheme is to improve health conditions and increase longevity of PAFs and other eligible persons. Objectives of the scheme are preventing diseases in PAA and PAZ through focused immunization, providing free medical check-up, purveying free medicine to needy, giving assistance for such medical treatment as are not possible in medical camps, providing assistance for treatment by specialist(s) or for critical diseases or referral cases, assistance in case of accidents, assisting the disabled PAFs acquire specialized kits/aid.

• Special Benefits to ST PAFs - Scheme for providing compensation in lieu of Forest-rightsThe subject cited scheme has been formulated to provide compensation to the



affected ST (Scheduled Tribe) PAFs for loss of benefits accruing due to exercise of customary forest rights and in return obtaining their cooperation for construction of project. In this scheme financial assistance is to be provided to ST PAFs for loss of income from exercise of forest-rights with the understanding that the beneficiary shall lend their unstinted support and cooperation for construction of HPPCL Project and shall not cause any hindrance and/or obstruction or work stoppage of the HPPCL project. They can be compensated in two ways: Cash Compensation by assessing the income from the forest produce and paying annually or by wage payment equivalent to 500 day’s wages periodically.

• Scheme for Compensation for Minor Minerals as R&R Measure: The government ownership lands include river beds and other similar areas also from where people and/or Panchayats have been extracting minor minerals (Sand and aggregate) for personal use as well as for earning incomes. When such lands are acquired or diverted for the purpose of the project, benefit and income there from cease to accrue. If the land happens to be government land, all payment is received by the concerned department and no compensation is paid to people or Panchayat in lieu of impact on their customary rights. The scheme envisages payment of compensation to G.P. in a manner that it gets recurring annual income equal to amount that it got by auctioning minor minerals for distribution amongst families.

The detailed R&R Plan of HPPCL can be read and downloaded at the official website of HPPCL i.e. www.hppcl.gov.in.

13.5 INSTITUTIONAL/ ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE R &R MEASURES 13.5.1 Appointment of Administrator and Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement and their powers and functions As per NRRP 2007, where the appropriate Government is satisfied that there is likely to be involuntary displacement of large number of persons due to acquisition of land for any project or due to any other reason, it may; and where the appropriate Government is satisfied that there is likely to be involuntary displacement of four hundred or more families en masse in plain areas, or two hundred or more families en masse in tribal or hilly areas, DDP blocks or areas mentioned in the Schedule V or Schedule VI to the Constitution due to acquisition of land for any project or due to any other reason, it shall, appoint, by notification, by the State Government (s) concerned, in respect of that project, an officer not below the rank of district Collector of the State Government to be appointed as the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R). The Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement shall be assisted by such officers and employees as the appropriate Government may provide. Subject to the superintendence, directions and control of the appropriate Government and Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement, the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement shall take all measures for the rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families. The overall control and superintendence of the formulation, execution and monitoring of the rehabilitation and resettlement plan shall vest in the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement. Subject to any general or special order of the appropriate Government, the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement shall perform the following functions and duties: (i) minimize displacement of people and to identify non-displacing or least-displacing

alternatives in consultation with the requiring body; (ii) hold consultation with the affected families while preparing a rehabilitation and



resettlement scheme or plan; (iii) ensure that interests of the adversely affected persons of Scheduled Tribes and weaker

sections are protected; (iv) prepare a draft scheme or plan of rehabilitation and resettlement as required under

Chapter VI of this policy; (v) prepare a budget including estimated expenditure of various components of acquisition

of land, rehabilitation and resettlement activities or programs in consultation with representatives of the affected families and the requiring body;

(vi) arrange adequate land, as far as possible, for rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families;

(vii) allot land and sanction the benefits to the affected families; (viii) Perform such other functions as the appropriate Government may, from time to time, by

order in writing, assign.

The administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement may, by order in writing, delegate such of the administrative powers conferred and duties imposed on him by or under this policy to any officer not below the rank of Tehsildar or equivalent. All officers and staff appointed by the appropriate Government under this policy shall be subordinate to the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement. The State Government shall appoint an officer of the rank of Commissioner or of equivalent rank of that Government for rehabilitation and resettlement in respect of such cases to which this policy applies to be called the Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement. For the purposes of this policy, the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement and other officers and employees appointed for the purposes of rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families shall be subordinate to the Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement. The Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement shall be responsible for supervising the formulation of rehabilitation and resettlement plans (R&R) schemes and proper implementation of such plans or schemes. 13.5.2 Grievance Redressal Mechanism For each project which involves involuntary displacement of four hundred or more families en masse in plain areas, or two hundred or more families en masse in tribal or hilly areas, DDP blocks or areas mentioned in the Schedule V or Schedule VI to the Constitution, the appropriate Government shall constitute a Committee under the chairpersonship of the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement, where appointed, or some other senior Government official, where the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement is not appointed, to be called the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee, to monitor and review the progress of implementation of the scheme or plan of rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families, and to carry out post-implementation social audits. The Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee constituted as above shall include, apart from officers of the appropriate Government, as one of its members:- • a representative of women residing in the. affected area; • a representative each of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes residing in the

affected area; • a representative of a voluntary organization; • a representative of the lead bank; • Chairperson(s) of the Panchayats and municipalities located in the affected area, or their

nominee(s); • Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assembly of the area included in the



affected area; • The Land Acquisition Officer of the project; and • a representative of the Panchayat body. The procedure regulating the business of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee, its meetings and other matters connected thereto shall be such as may be prescribed by the appropriate Government. In the project area district, the State Government shall constitute a standing Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee under the chairpersonship of the district Collector or, as the case may be Deputy Commissioner of the district, to monitor and review the progress of rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families in the district excluding those covered by the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committees at the project level. An Ombudsman shall be appointed by the state Government, for time-bound disposal of the grievances arising out of the matters covered by this policy. Any affected person, if aggrieved, for not being offered the admissible rehabilitation and resettlement benefits as provided under this policy, may move an appropriate petition for redressal of his or her grievances to the Ombudsman concerned. 13.5.3 Post-Project Monitoring Status of availability of alternative homestead for project affected persons, development of infrastructural facilities such as schools, sewer networks, roads, etc. are some of the aspects which could be considered for monitoring and modifications may be suggested if required. It needs to be appreciated that R & R issues are politically sensitive issues and often need timely attention. For such reasons, it is suggested that the monitoring be conducted by an independent agency not connected with the project. Therefore, an independent Consultant having experience in R & R studies in similar areas, i.e. hilly areas and not connected with the project, can be appointed for monitoring the project. The Consultant will review the rehabilitation and resettlement program after 2nd, 4th and 6th year from the completion of the R&R activity. A total provision of Rs. 0.90 million has been kept in the project estimate for this purpose. 13.6 PARTICIPATION OF PAFs Involvement of affected communities in planning and implementation of rehabilitation programs according to their felt needs and socio-economic conditions is of vital importance. To obtain co-operation, participation and feedback, PAFs need to be systematically informed and consulted during preparation and implementation of resettlement plan about their options and rights. In the proposed project, co-operation and participation of PAFs in the resettlement process could be ensured through their involvement in each of the following stages.

Involvement in preparation of Rehabilitation Master Plan As a part of participatory planning, community meetings should be held on a routine basis to explain about the project and the R & R policy of the project. Direct communication with the PAFs will negate the politicization of the R & R Process. The communication with the PAFs can be through the Village Level Committee.

Involvement of PAFs in implementation process The Village Level Committee can be involved in the implementation of Rehabilitation Plan particularly during the identification of forest land to be allotted to Village Level Committee. They should also be consulted in finding out alternative economic opportunities to supplement their



household income. However, some NGO groups can also be associated which can interact directly with the project authorities and the affected population. 13.7 ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN UNDER R&R PLAN Table 13.3: Training and Awareness Camps

CHAPTER-14 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

14.1 THE NEED Environmental monitoring is an essential component for sustainability of any water resources project. It is an integral part of any environmental assessment process. Any water resources development project introduces complex inter-relationships in the project area between people, various natural resources, biota and the many developing forces. Thus, a new environment is created. It is very difficult to predict with complete certainty the exact post-project environmental scenario. Hence, monitoring of critical parameters is essential in the project operation phase. An Environmental Monitoring Program has been designed with the following objectives:

• Assess the changes in environmental conditions, if any, during construction and operation of the project.

• Monitor the effective implementation of mitigatory measures. • Warning of any significant deterioration in environmental quality so that additional

mitigatory measures may be planned in advance.

14.2 AREAS OF CONCERN From the monitoring point of view, the important parameters are water quality, land use, ambient air quality, ecology, etc. An attempt is made to establish early warning of indicators of stress on the environment. Suggested monitoring details are outlined in the following sections.

14.3 WATER QUALITY Construction Phase It is proposed to monitor the effluent before and after treatment from oxidation ditch. The frequency of monitoring could be once per month. It is assumed that a oxidation ditches shall be constructed to treat the sewage generated from the labour camp at Ropa. It is proposed to analyse 120 samples/year. The parameters to be monitored include pH, Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids and Total Dissolved Solids.

Operation phase The surface water quality of the proposed reservoir and Malana Nallah needs to be monitored thrice a year. The proposed parameters to be monitored are as follows: pH, Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids, Calcium, Magnesium, Total Hardness, Chlorides, Sulphates, Nitrates, DO, COD, BOD, Iron, Zinc and Manganese. The sampling sites shall be:

- 1 km upstream of the barrage site.

- Reservoir water.

- 1, 5 and 10 km downstream of the confluence of the tail race discharge.

During project operation phase, a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is proposed to be set up to treat the effluent from the project colony. Once every week, it is envisaged to analyse a sample each before and after treatment from the STP. The parameters to be analysed include pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids and Total Dissolved Solids.



14.4 AIR QUALITY AND METEOROLOGY Project Construction Phase The ambient air quality monitoring during construction phase can be carried out by an external agency, approved by State Pollution Control Board at four stations close to construction sites. Every year monitoring is to be done for the Winter, Summer, and Post-monsoon and seasons:

The frequency of monitoring could be twice a week for four consecutive weeks at each station for each season. The parameters to be monitored are Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM) and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).

14.5 NOISE Project Construction Phase Noise emissions from vehicular movement, operation of various construction equipment may be monitored during construction phase at major construction sites. The frequency of monitoring shall be once every three months. For monitoring of noise generators and Integrating Sound Level Meter will be required.

Project Operation Phase No major impact due to noise is observed in operation phase.

14.6 SOIL EROSION AND SILTATION Project Construction Phase No monitoring programme is suggested for project construction phase.

Project Operation Phase Soil erosion rates, slope stability of embankments of barrage, efficacy of soil conservation measures, need to be closely monitored twice a year. The HPSEB staff at the project site can do the study. The study should be undertaken throughout the life of the project so as to design the soil erosion prevention measures and also for the rehabilitation/decommissioning of the project. Following parameters like soil erosion rates, stability of bank embankment would be measured. In addition to above, soil quality at various locations in the catchment area needs to be monitored once every year. The parameters to be monitored are pH, organic matter and texture.

14.7 ECOLOGY Project Construction Phase A detailed ecological survey covering forestry, fisheries, wildlife is recommended during entire construction phase. The survey can be conducted once every year for the entire construction period. A provision of Rs. 2.1 million is earmarked for this purpose. The various aspects to be covered include:

- Qualitative & Quantitative assessment of flora and fauna.

- Monitoring of restoration of muck disposal area.

Project Operation Phase Status of afforestation program, changes in migration patterns of the aquatic and terrestrial fauna species should be studied. The study could be undertaken with a frequency of 5 years till the entire design life of the barrage. A provision of Rs.0.5 million per study can be kept for this purpose. Thus the annual expenditure can be taken as 0.1 million/ year. The



monitoring can be conducted by a reputed external agency.

14.8 INCIDENCE OF WATER-RELATED DISEASES Project Construction Phase Identification of water-related diseases, adequacy of local vector control and curative measures, status of public health are some of the parameters which should be closely monitored three times a year with the help of data maintained in the government dispensaries/hospitals.

Implementation Public Health Department, & Dispensary constructed for labour camps

Cost per annum Rs. 0.1 million Project Operation Phase Increased prevalence of various vector borne diseases and adequacy of local vector control and curative measures need to be monitored. The monitoring can be done three times in a year.

Implementation Dispensary at the project site Cost per annum Rs. 0.10 million

Monitoring of aquatic ecology will be essential to achieve sustainable yield of fish. Some of the parameters to be monitored are phytoplankton, zooplanktons, benthic life and fish composition, etc. The monitoring can be conducted by a reputed external agency, for which an amount of Rs. 0.30 million/year can be earmarked.

14.9 LAND USE PATTERN Project Operation Phase During project operation phase, it is proposed to monitor land use pattern once every year. An amount of Rs. 0.3 million can be earmarked for this purpose.

14.10 MUCK DISPOSAL SITES Project Construction Phase It is recommended to monitor the status of various muck disposal sites including status of plantation, various engineering control structures, etc.

Project Operation Phase No monitoring program is suggested for project operation phase.

CHAPTER-17 PROJECT BENEFITS

17.1 NEED FOR THE PROJECT Installed power generation capacity in India increased for 1,362 MW in 1947 to 64,729 MW in 1990 during that period, energy production jumped from 4 to 264 TWH. However despite that appreciable growth, power demand has almost throughout outstripped the supply. At the end of the 10th Five year plan, shortfall in energy availability on an all India basis is given as per Table 17.1.

Table 17.1: 10th five year plan, shortfall in energy availability Peak (MW)

Year Requirement Availability Surplus (+)/Shortage (-) Surplus/ Shortage (%) 2006 - 07 100,715 86,818 - 13,897 - 13.8

Energy (MU) Year Requirement Availability Surplus (+)/Shortage (-) Surplus/ Shortage (%) 2006 - 07 690,587 624,495 - 66,092 - 9.6

Based on 10th Five year Plan actual capacity addition of 21,180 MW, a capacity addition of 78,577 MW comprising of 39,865 MW (50.7%) in central sector, 27,952 MW (35.6%) in State sector and 10,760 MW (13.7%) in private sector has been proposed during 11th Plan. The hydro power potential of Himachal Pradesh is surplus for its own requirement. However, the surplus power is usefully made available to meet the power and energy requirements in other parts of the country, and very particularly, the northern grid. Therefore, it is necessary to look into energy and power requirement of the northern region while planning of hydropower development in Himachal Pradesh, power demand and supply for all India region wise generating installed capacity (MW) of power utilities including allocated shares in joint and central sector utilities are given in Table-17.2.

It can be seen that peak demand over a period of 20 years is likely to increase by four times from 14,908 MW in 1990-91 to as much as 100,715 MW in 2006-2007. From the growth of peak demand and anticipated installed generating capacity on the basis of schemes proposed for benefits under construction/ consideration during eighth and ninth five year plans, it is observed that there is an urgent need to provide additional capacity to the Northern Grid to meet the increasing demand of the grid. Thus, new schemes need to be taken up immediately for implementation to get the timely benefit.

18.2 MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING Detail of issues raised during Public Hearing on 28.07.2009 at 11:00 AM for proposed Shongtong-Karchham HEP (Powari-Ralli), organized by H. P. State Pollution Control Board at village Powari, Tehsil Kalpa, district Kinnaur H.P.:-



S. No. Issues Raised Remarks on the issue raised

1. The representative of the public raised an objection that project affected families indicated in R&R plan (rehabilitation and resettlement ) is 158 whereas in the earlier R&R plan it was 438 and it was verbally assured by MD, HPPCL to include all 438 families in R&R plan. Therefore, till all the 438 families of Kalpa and Shudharang villages are not covered under project affected families the R&R plan should not be finalized.

The Project Proponent informed that this issue of R&R is under consideration of MD, HPPCL.

2. Cremation ground near dumping No. 3 should be protected.

Project Proponent has assured that the cremation ground shall be protected.

3. Confluence point of Tangling Nallah and Satluj river is a holy place which is used for local rituals. Local people have traditional rights and it should be protected and the Confluence point should be developed properly by the project proponent.

Project Proponent has assured that Confluence point of Tangling Nallah and Satluj shall be developed.

4. Local people have customary rights to collect forest produce such as herbs, medicine plants etc. will be damaged and will affect the income source, therefore all the people of district Kinnaur should be included in project affected families.

All the customary rights related to the forest produce will be protected and every care will be taken so that there is no damage to the forest produce. In case some damage is observed the same shall be compensated by the Project Proponent.

5. Studies on the affect on downstream projects due to desilting has not been done in EIA/EMP.

Sedimentation Chambers four in nos. has been provided for desilting, so no impact on Down Stream projects is envisaged.

6. Impact on water sources and biodiversity due to blasting during construction have not been indicated in EIA/EMP.

Project Proponent agreed to conduct studies.

7. Design of the project is on the bases of ten years data and viability of the project is not properly designed.

Project Proponent clarified that viability of the project has been properly designed.

8. Alignment of the power project has been indicated in the EIA/EMP (Figure No. 1) on the right bank of river Satluj where as in figure No. 2 it is shown on the left bank of the river Satluj.

It has been corrected.

9. In EIA/EMP para-7.5 page No. 7-18 it is mentioned that sand and grit has been collected by M/s JP Karchham-Wangtoo Project from village Jangi and the same query will be used by HPPCL but as a matter of fact this quarry has never been used by M/s J.P. Karchham-Wangtoo Project, which indicates the negligent attitude of agency preparing EIA and as such the data given in EIA is doubtful.

Sand quarry/grit will be collected from as mentioned in para-7.5 page No.7-18 near village Jangi.

10. All the muck dumping sits indicated in the EIA/EMP is on the bank of river Satluj, which is in the flood zone area. In EIA/EMP design of dumping sits has not been shown. What will be the distance of dumping sits from HFL and what will be the angle of repose of muck has not been indicated.

Project Proponent clarified that muck will be dumped in safe designated dumping sites away from HFL and with adequate safe engineering structure so that there is no seepage of muck into river.

11. Due to construction of tunnels in Kinnaur, the fragile areas are being damaged which can be protected by

It was assured by project proponents that if technically, it is possible, TBM can

be used.

12. District Kinnaur is in Seismic zone - 4 and in the past Kinnaur has observed heavy earthquakes. Therefore, big projects should not come up in Kinnaur. In EIA/EMP seismic factor has not been taken in to consideration.

Seismically project has been designed.

13. The existence of all the projects in river Satluj basin is in danger because of no international treaty with China on Satluj river. China has constructed many big projects on Satluj basin and is planning to divert Satluj water to Eastern Tibet which is likely to affect the projects in future. All these aspects has not been mentioned in EIA/EMP.

No comments.

14. Alternative suggestions have been given in EIA/EMP. Suggestion No. 1 to construct dam at Shongtong and to construct tunnel on the right bank of river Satluj is the best option but it has been rejected because of Army Camp near to the proposed Dam. In view of environmental impact and to save property of local people, the suggestion No. 1 may be looked upon.

On the basis of technical studies conducted it was decided to construct HRT on the left bank of river satluj.

15. It is apprehended that the religious place, Kinner Kailash and Shivling will be damaged due to construction of Head Race Tunnel. In such an eventuality the religious sentiments of local people will be hurt and due to melting of glaciers on Kinner Kailash mountain flood situation can be observed. Whereas this aspect is not been addressed in EIA/EMP.

Project Proponent clarified that on the basis of studies conducted it was observed that Kinner Kailash and Shivling are at sufficient height and there is to such threat to Kinner Kailash and Shivling.

16. In view of the fact that number of big projects are coming up in Satluj basin and in the year 1988, 1993,1997, 2000 and 2005 devastating floods were observed in river Satluj, therefore study on cumulative impact is required and Disaster management plan should be prepared.

Project Proponent informed that disaster management plan shall be prepared.

17. 2 % royalty should be given as per Gov. Of India National Hydro-Power policy 2008. Whereas instead of this in EIA/EMP only 100 unit free powers for 10 years has been mentioned. Provision of 2 % royalty should be made in R &R plan.

The state Govt. has ruled for 1 % royalty as per its norms.

18. As per Himachal Pradesh hydro power policy 2006 provision 15 % release of water from the dam and to provide 70 % employment to the Himachali’s have not been mentioned in EIA/EMP.

A team from National institute of Hydrology, Roorkee will be conducting mathematical modelling for assessment of Environmental flow in April 2010.

19. The detail of transmission line is not mentioned in EIA/EMP plan. It is also not mentioned whether there will be separate transmission line or it will be transmitted through integrated transmission line and separate environmental clearance will be obtained for transmission land.

EIA/EMP has been prepared on the bases of per TOR approved by MoEF. Further it was clarified by project as per GoI Regulation power evacuation line for above 250 MW HEPs has to be made by PGCIL. Henceforth PGCIL will make the




line and take appropriate environment clearances and inform HPPCL accordingly.

20. In case the project is sold/transferred to any other company in such case fresh NOC of Gram Panchayat should be obtained.

Project Proponent clarified that this project will not be sold/ transferred to any other company.

21. Definition of main project affected family is not in accordance to the R&R policy of 2007 of Govt. of India.

It is as per R&R approved by HP State Govt. vide letter No. Rev. (PC) A (10)-7/2008 dated 19.01.2009.

22. Base line date of Air quality of the area is mentioned in EIA/EMP but prediction of enhancement of Air pollution has not been given and impact on flora-fauna is also not mentioned in EIA/EMP.

Necessary action will be taken during construction period.

23. Construction of tunnels and blasting operation will have adverse impact on water sources, is not mentioned in EIA/EMP and how it will be compensated should be made clear.

A committee comprising of members of Project Proponent, IPH, revenue and representative of concerned Panchayat will be constituted and documentation including videography/ photography of the existing water sources shall be carried out, before starting the construction work. In case of reduction observed in the flow of water, it shall be compensated by the project proponent.

24. Compensation for enquiring land should be through negotiation.

The Project Proponent agreed for negotiation.

25. Which area will be developed under CAT plan is not mentioned. Implementation of CAT plan should be prepared on annual basis and Implementation of CAT plan should be under taken consultation of local people/Panchayat.

It was clarified by the Project Proponent that on page No. 2.21 o table 2/9 of EMP report detail of annual budget has been given. Implementation CAT plan is to be done by forest department.

26. Health survey of workers should be conducted. Agreed by the Project Proponent. 27. 25 % employment should be given to the local

people. Employment will be provided to the local people in accordance to the notification of H.P. Government.

28. All males above the age of 18 years should be treated a separate family and should be incorporated in R & R plan. As forest produce is likely to be destroyed due to construction of project, therefore, families which are depending upon forest produce for their livelihood should also be added in project affected families.

Project Proponent informed that there is no such provision in R & R plan approved by the State Govt.

29. Due to submergence of sand / grits quarry in the project local people should be provided sand/grits and it should be made available through for next 40 years and there should be agreement between local people and project proponent.

CHAPTER-19

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

19.1 Grievance Redressal Mechanism

Efficient Grievance redress mechanism will be developed to assist the AP’s resolve their queries and complaints. Grievances of AP’s will first be brought to the attention to the HPPCL PIU level. The grievances not addressed at PIU level will be done through Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC). The order for constitution of GRC by HPPCL at project level has been attached as Annexure-19.1.

Grievances not redressed by the GRC will be brought to the Local Area Development Authority (LADA). The LADA will have representatives from AP’s, HPPCL, field level staff, district magistrate/commissioner, local administration, revenue authority and local community. LADA notification and LADF are given in Annexure 19.2. Other than disputes relating to ownership rights under the court of law, LADA will review grievances involving all resettlement benefits, compensation, relocation, replacement cost and other assistance. The LADA will meet every month (if grievances are brought to the Committee), determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint—failing which the AP’s will be free to approach appropriate court of Law for Redressal.

Records will be kept of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The LADA will continue to function during the life of the Project including the defects liability period. The grievance redress mechanism is presented in Figure 1 & 2.
