EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Rajasthan Secondary Towns Development Sector Project (RSTDSP), the fourth phase of investment projects financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and implemented by the Rajasthan Urban Drinking Water Sewerage and Infrastructure Corporation Limited- External Aided Project (RUDSICO-EAP), previously known as Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUDSICO-EAP). RSTDSP will support the ongoing efforts of the Government of Rajasthan towards improving the water and wastewater services in about 40 towns under Tranche-2. RSTDSP seeks to improve water supply and sewerage (WSS) services in secondary towns with populations between 20,000-115,000 through a sector loan modality. The project is aligned with the following impact(s): (i) access to potable, affordable, reliable, equitable, and environmentally sustainable drinking water supply in all urban areas of Rajasthan improved;1 and (ii) health status of urban population, especially the poor and under-privileged improved.2

2. RSTDSP under ADB financing, is proposing to implement a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant for Bandikui in Rajasthan to assess the current gaps in sanitation across the towns and suggest sustainable and cost effective ways to manage faecal sludge generated within its municipal boundary.

3. ADB requires consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for Environmental Assessment are described in ADB’s SPS (2009). This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) addresses the infrastructure components proposed under Bandikui FSSM project. 4. Categorization. Bandikui FSSM subproject is classified as Environmental Category B as per the SPS as no significant impacts are envisaged. Accordingly, this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) assesses the environmental impacts and provides mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a result of the project. 5. Project Scope. The subproject is formulated to address gaps in faecal sludge and septage across the town of Bandikui. The main objective of this project is to improve safe collection of faecal sludge from houses and treatment in a scientific manner to improve sanitation conditions of town. This will have an important effect on public health and environment. Proposed works under this subproject include: (i) to provide technological solutions for faecal sludge management and development of a plan for FSSM (ii) Construction of a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) of 16 KLD capacity (iii) Procurement of 2 nos. of desludging vehicles of 4000 lit. 6. Implementation Arrangements. The Local Self Government Department (LSGD) of Government of Rajasthan is the Executing Agency (EA) and existing RUDSICO-EAP is the Implementing Agency (IA). The LSGD is responsible for overall strategic planning, guidance and management of the RSTDSP, and for ensuring compliance with tranche release conditions and loan covenants. A policy support unit has been established in the LSGD to support the government for implementation of the tranche release policy actions under the program loan. The RUDSICO-EAP is responsible for planning, implementation, monitoring and supervision, and coordination of all activities under the RSTDSP. The RUDSICO-EAP has recruited Project Management and Capacity Building Consultant (PMCBC) to assist PMU, review DPRs and prepare bid documents and provide assistance during construction of the facility. There are two zonal offices in Jaipur and Jodhpur. Project Implementation

Units (PIUs) are set up in each project town/urban local body (ULB). Two numbers of Construction Management and Supervision Consultants (CMSCs) are also recruited for supervision of construction activities. Community Awareness and Participation Consultant (CAPC) are also recruited for Jaipur and project towns; to provide support in implementation of projects. Project Management Unit (PMU) at Jaipur will overall responsible for management and monitoring of the whole project. Types of contracts are Design, Build and Operate (DBO). Once the infrastructure is built and commissioned, the Urban Local Bodies will operate and maintain the infrastructure through DBO contractor for 10 years, and later on their own. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU with help of consultant will be responsible for environment management and monitoring activities, and will be supported by Environment Safeguard Specialist of PMCBC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

7. Description of the Environment. Subproject site of proposed FSTP is situated in Bandikui, which is a town in Dausa district of Rajasthan, India. It belongs to Jaipur Division. It is located 35 KM towards East from District headquarters Dausa. It is a Tehsil head quarter. Bandikui sits at the junction of Agra-Jaipur and Delhi-Jaipur railway lines. The city is located 205 km south of Delhi. Rajgarh town, erstwhile capital of Alwar state, is about 25 km north of Bandikui. Sikandra is located about 17 km away, while the state capital Jaipur is 98 km by road. a town in Dausa district, approx 100 kms away from Jaipur city. Environmental conditions of the town are generally dry during summer and affected with low rainfall. The proposed FSTP site identified by Nagar Palika Bandikui, is located on Abhaneri Road. This land is government land. The site is approx. 3 km away from the town. BT road exist from the town to the site. There are no dense habitations within 200 mtrs area around the proposed site. There are no trees and shrubs present at site and no wildlife exists. There is no surface water body within or near the site. 8. Environmental Management. An environmental management plan (EMP) is included as part of this IEE, which includes (i) mitigation measures for environmental impacts during implementation; (ii) an environmental monitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigating, monitoring, and reporting; (iii) public consultation and information disclosure; and (iv) a grievance redress mechanism. A number of impacts and their significance have already been reduced by amending the designs. The construction phase EMP will be included in civil work bidding and contract documents.

9. The land proposed for FSTP is government land where a NOC has been furnished from Bandikui ULB, and therefore no land acquisition issue may arise. There are no habitation exist upto 200 metres from site and no impact to people may envisage.

10. Potential impacts were identified in relation to location, design, construction and operation of the proposed infrastructure. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of moderate quantities of waste soil and health and safety risk to workers during construction and operation. These are common temporary impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all potential negative impacts to acceptable levels. 11. Measures such as appropriate scheduling of works (non-monsoon season, low traffic hours, etc.,) and minimizing inconvenience by best construction methods will be employed.. In the operational phase, all facilities and infrastructure will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment. Facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only.

12. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring to be

8

conducted during construction. The environmental monitoring program will ensure that all measures are implemented, and will determine whether the environment is protected as intended. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. Any requirements for corrective action will be reported to the ADB. 13. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations in the city and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB and RUDSICO-EAP websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. 14. The citizens of the Bandikui Town will be the major beneficiaries of this subproject. The system of desludging vehicles which includes emptying the septic tank and pit latrines by private and government operators, will safely remove the human waste from individual homes and other entities that will scientifically treated in modern facility (FSTP). Combined with the on-going investments in sewage treatment, this subproject, in addition to improved environmental conditions, will improve the over-all health condition of the town. People would spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. 15. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance Redress. Public consultations were done during the preparation of the detail project report and IEE. Consultations will continue throughout the project implementation period with the assistance of the consultant’s team. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly. 16. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and supervision consultant will be responsible for monitoring. The PMU will submit quarterly/semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website. 17. Conclusions and Recommendations. The proposed project is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006).

I. INTRODUCTION

Background

1. Project background. Following successful implementation of three projects in urban infrastructure development, ADB and Government of Rajasthan and ongoing RSTDSP (Fourth Phase of RUIDP) targeting about 40+ towns in the state in urban infrastructure development, Government of Rajasthan decided to take up implementation of Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) with a construction of Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) in various towns of Rajasthan which do not have central sewer network that are hitherto not covered. The programme goal is sustainable urban development in Rajasthan. The outcome would be improved service delivery and improved sanitation in project town.

2. The focus of the RSTDSP investment is on water supply and sewerage infrastructure. A series of subprojects are being and will be implemented under the Project, with each subproject providing improvements to water supply or sewerage or both in a project town.

3. Rajasthan Urban Drinking Water Sewerage and Infrastructure Corporation Limited- External Aided Projects (RUDSICO-EAP), erstwhile popularly known as Rajasthan Urban Development Project (RUIDP) with financial assistance by ADB, is proposing to implement a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant for Bandikui in Rajasthan. The activity, under the project, is to specifically provide faecal sludge management solutions for the towns in Rajasthan.

4. Context of FSSM in Rajasthan. The Swachh Bharat Mission was launched on 2nd October 2014, all India including Rajasthan, to eradicate open defecation from both, rural and urban India. The focus of this mission was majorly on toilet construction and provide complete access to toilets for the general public. This mission also aims at promoting cleanliness and hygiene, with better management of solid and liquid waste produce along with eliminating the unhealthy practice of open defecation. After successful implementation of the mission to construct toilets in various towns under Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM); by 2018 Rajasthan State had total 2.73 million toilets, out of which 70 % of urban households were dependent on underground containment system such as Kui, Pits, Septic tanks etc. To tackle the increasing amount of faecal sludge that is being accumulated in containment systems owing to the increase in the number of toilets. The GoR through grants support from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) developed pilot projects in 3 ULBs i.e. Phulera, Lalsot and Khandela and built some of very 1st three Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants (FSTP) of State. 5. The determination of the State towards the environmental safety and public health encouraged it to undertake a rapid assessment of strategically selected small and medium towns in the State of Rajasthan and selected 50 towns (approx..), which do not have an underground sewerage system where citywide FSSM can be easily implemented. Background of IEE

6. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). Accordingly, this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) has been conducted to assess the environmental impacts and provide mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a result of the subproject.

8. The ADB guidelines stipulate addressing environmental concerns, if any, of a proposed activity in the initial stages of project preparation. For this, the ADB SPS categorizes the proposed projects into various categories (A, B or C) to determine the level of environmental assessment required to address the potential impacts. Level of environmental assessment required for each category is presented below.

(i) Category A: Projects with potential for significant adverse environmental impacts. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to address significant impacts.

(ii) Category B: Projects likely to have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree and/or significance than those for Category A. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report.

(iii) Category C: Projects unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are still reviewed.

9. The environmental impacts of Bandikui FSSM subproject have been identified and assessed as part of the planning and design process. An environmental assessment using ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply and Sewerage (Appendix 1) was conducted, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this IEE has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS’s requirements for environment category B projects.

Scope of IEE

10. This IEE is prepared for Bandikui FSSM project, based on primary data collected through various departments, public consultations during site visits and secondary sources of information and field reconnaissance surveys. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE. Report Structure

11. This Report contains nine sections: (i) executive summary; (ii) introduction and regulatory framework (iii) description of the project (iv) description of the environment; (v) anticipated environmental impacts and mitigation measures; (vi) public consultation and information disclosure; (vii) grievance redress mechanism; (viii) environmental management plan, and, (ix) conclusion and recommendation.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Existing Conditions

A. Existing Water Supply in Bandikui

12. The major source of drinking water in the town is water from PHED, private tankers hired by PHED, Hand pumps and private bore wells inside the houses. The Public Health Engineering Department takes care of the drinking water supply in the town. The present water supply from PHED is only 30-60 LPCD, from private borewell is around 60-77 LPCD, as large no of house hold have small bore well in their houses and water supply from private tankers as per demand during summers is 15-23 LPCD. Apart from these railway department have their own water supply system in their railway colony and is aroung 6-9 LPCD . There are 6542 households with tap connections and 33 tubewells are present through which 10 lakh litres of water is discharged per day to meet the water demand. Production from private tubewell held by PHED is 6 lakh Litres per day. 2 lakh Litres water per day is supplied by private tankers and 5 lakh Litres water per day is being supplied and consumed by the railways itself.

B. Existing Sanitation system in Bandikui

13. Bandikui does not have any commissioned sewerage system though this municipality is certified open defecation free. Water Closets (WC) are connected to soak/septic pits in most of the houses, while some houses, due to lack of space, discharge WC effluent directly in to open drains. To cater the scattering households there are 12 community toilets with 14 seats each for male /female and six public toilets with 4 seats each exists in town. Sullage generated from houses is directly discharged in to open drains and discharges into the natural disposal drain/various depressions in the town. Overall there is three specific low laying ponding exists. One along Agra Railway Line near Cambridge Academy and the other is along the Rajesh Pilot College boundary wall and the third is near the Moksh Dham. The open drains carrying sullage water (waste water generated from kitchen, bathroom and overflow from septic tank) and the resultant pools at various depressions located in town or goes into private agriculture land which are causing unsanitary conditions and are threat to public health. 14. Disposal methods of Faecal Sludge: There is no desludging vehicle owned by the Municipality for desludging from households and non- residential units within the limits of Bandikui municipality. Private desludging vehicles are available on call. Presently, there are four private operators who provide desludging services within the town. However, a large number of households which have their containments desludged, use non-mechanized means to remove sludge from the containment units. Non-mechanized means include manually lifting the sludge by a bucket or small pumps etc. The sludge removed through non-mechanized means is often disposed in nearby surroundings or generally nearby storm water drains.

C. Proposed works in Bandikui

15. Construction of FSTP- A FSTP of 16 KLD capacity is proposed within the municipal limit of Bandikui, on the vacant government land near the Rajesh Pilot Hostel on Abhaneri Road at Khasra no. 1378/899. NOC is obtained by Municipal Council, Bandikui (refere Appendix 15 & 16). This FSTP will treat all the septage collected from the town. Procurement of two desludging trucks of 4000 litres capacity each; have been proposed for desludging the individual containment units such as septic tanks, Single Pits latrines etc. under this subproject. The Location of site with respect to city is shown in Figure 1.

21

Figure 1 Location of FSTP Site (27° 2'10.67"N and 76°34'52.97"E) - Bandikui

16. FSTP Concept Proposed For Bandikui: This feacal sludge treatment unit is designed for 16 KLD capacity. Based on the characteristics of the faecal sludge, the treatment process involves following units/module:

Screening & grit removal for organic and floating garbage

Stabilization of sludge (semi digested faecal sludge from septic tank)

Solid Liquid separation by mechanical dewatering machine

Sludge drying by electric hot air sludge dryer

Treatment of filtrate from dewatering unit (integrated settler with anaerobic filter)

Tertiary treatment by ACF,DMF and UV

Reuse of treated water for irrigation and horticulture

17. This faecal sludge treatment unit is designed for 16 KLD capacity. The faecal sludge shall first be made to pass through the screening chambers for the retention of coarse materials/ solid waste present in the faecal sludge. The sludge would be conveyed to Stabilization Reactor where the solid liquid separation will take place. The solids collected at the bottom of the Stabilization reactor in the form of slurry flows to dewatering unit by pump provided in the outlet and sludge cakes formed by dewatering unit will be fed to Solar Sludge Treatment Unit where Sludge Sterilization will take place and further it will be conveyed to Sludge Storage Shed. Supernatant from Dewatering Unit will be conveyed to Integrated Settler and overflow of Stabilization reactor will also be transferred to integrated settler. The effluent wastewater is then treated in two stages (primary and secondary stage) in Wet Land/DEWATS modules. The primary stages i.e. Settler is mainly meant for Sedimentation of any solids that have entered the modules along with the percolate. The secondary stage i.e. Anaerobic Filter is for the anaerobic degradation of any dissolved and suspended organic matter. The partially treated wastewater from the secondary treatment unit would be conveyed into the horizontal planted gravel filter. The treated wastewater from the planted gravel filter is then conveyed for tertiary treatment. Effluent from Planted Gravel filer unit will be pumped to Pressure sand and Activated carbon filer and after that it will transferred to UV Chamber and ultimately to the treated effluent chamber and it can be reused for agriculture.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Physical Resources

Location, Area & Connectivity

20. Bandikui is a city in Dausa district of Rajasthan, India. It belongs to Jaipur Division. It is located 35 KM towards East from District headquarters Dausa. It is a Tehsil head quarter. The latitude of Bandikui, Rajasthan, India is 27.05 and the longitude is 76.57. 21. Bandikui sits at the junction of Agra-Jaipur and Delhi-Jaipur railway lines. The city is located 205 km south of Delhi. Rajgarh town, erstwhile capital of Alwar state, is about 25 km north of Bandikui. Sikandra is located about 17 km away, while the state capital Jaipur is 98 km by road. Topography, Soils and Geology

Topography & Soil: 22. The topography of the applied area is mainly plain land marked with shallow nalah and undulations. The higher elevation point is 451 mRL and lower elevation point is 290 mRL. The major soil classes of the area are sandy loam and loam.

Geology: 23. The oldest rock unit belonging to Precambrian, granite gneisses and schists forms the basement and exposed in the form of low lying isolated outcrops near Bandikui and Lalsot. These gneisses are overlain by rocks of Delhi Super group comprising Raialo and Alwar groups. Raialo group of rocks represented by dolomite / marble is overlain by Alwar group of rocks i.e. quartzite & schist exposed in the form of about 100 km. long impersistent hill ranges trending NW- SE stretch Isolated small hills of quartzite are also seen near the town. These are intruded by amphibolites and quartz veins. Seismology and Natural Hazards

24. Many parts of the Indian subcontinent have historically high seismicity. Seven catastrophic earthquakes of magnitude greater than 8 (Richter scale) have occurred in the western, northern and eastern parts of India and adjacent countries in the past 100 years. Approx. 59 % of the land area of India is liable to seismic hazard damage. In India, seismic zones are divided into four zones i.e. V, IV, III and II. As per the seismic zoning map of India, Bandikui (Dausa) Town falls under the Zone II, which is the lowest earthquake risk zone in India. This zone is termed as “low damage risk zone”. Hence the risk of earthquake at the proposed sites is minimal and so the site is safe. Climatic Conditions

25. The climate of Bandikui is dry arid, typical of desert. The maximum temperature during summer months goes above 44.3oC quiet frequently. The temperature during winter months normally touches 2.1oC. Average rain fall is 673.90 mm. Surface Water

26. Drainage pattern of the area is dendritic. The applied area is part of the Ban Ganga River & its connected flow nallahs. The River is seasonal in nature & flows through the district in NW- SE direction. No surface water exists near the proposed site of FSTP in Bandikui. 27. The district area is drained by ephemeral rivers Banganga, Bandi, Dhund,

25

Mendha, Mashi, Sota & Sabi and their tributaries. Sota & Sabi rivers in the northern part of district flow northeasterly while southwesterly flowing Banganga river passes through Shahpura, Bairath, Jamwa Ramgarh blocks and contribute water to the famous Ramgarh lake from where it flows easterly to enter Dausa district. Mendha River in northwest portion of the district merges with famous Sambhar Lake whereas Mashi River in the southwestern part flows easterly.

Groundwater

28. Groundwater in Bandikui is at approximate depth of 250-300 ft below the ground. The ground water of the town is not potable as it contains high Fluoride and Nitrates. The water supply in the city through tube wells. Air Quality

29. Bandikui (Dausa) being located in dry arid zone coupled with dust storms, especially during summer months, the particulate matter in ambient air is likely to be high. Traffic on these roads and winds are the main source of dust generation. 30. Ambient air quality in Rajasthan is monitored by Rajasthan Pollution Control Board. There are no ambient air quality station in Bandikui (Dausa). Air quality monitoring shall be conducted in the pre-construction phase (SIP period) by the contractor and shall be reported in periodical monitoring report.

Noise Quality

31. As there are no major industrial or alike other activities in Bandikui city area, there is no major source of noise pollution in the town. Main source of noise pollution in the city area is traffic only that also in main and busy roads and other inner and connecting roads are quiet peaceful. Noise quality Monitoring is required to establish baseline conditions before start of construction works.

Ecological Resources

32. Flora and Fauna: Natural vegetation mainly consists of sparse, scattered shrubs and grasses. The fauna of the town comprises mainly domesticated animals. Within the town, tree cover is very limited. Major trees found within town are mostly planted beside the roads in open public areas and comprises mainly Babool, Keekar, Neem, Pipal, Sheesham, Mango and Ber etc. No rare, endangered or migratory birds are reported in the project areas. On the review of available information, no rare or endangered species of flora and fauna prescribed by IUCN or WPC, 1972 are found along the project areas.

33. There is no impact on wildlife or precious ecological resources due to proposed works. Industry & Agriculture

34. Industrial development in Bandikui is very limited. The villages around the Bandikui are agriculturally rich.

26

Socio Cultural Resources

Demography

35. As per the Census 2011, total population of Bandikui is 44664. In Bandikui town, there are 9054 households at present. Out of these 15% households are with septic tanks, 84.37% with soak pits and 0.63% with twin pits. For catering scattered population without containment, in all there are 12 community toilet and 6 public toilets at present. Environmental Settings of Investment Program Component Sites

36. The subproject scope includes construction of Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) of 16 KLD capacity and procurement of Desludging vehicles. The land for construction of this FSTP is government land at Khasra no. 1378/899, at Abhaneri Road, which belongs to Municipal Council, Bandikui and currently not in any use. NOC is obtained by Municipal Council, Bandikui (refere Appendix 15 & 16). Nearest habitations is approx. 200 mtrs from the proposed site. There are no trees and shrubs present at site and no wildlife exists within or near to proposed site. There is no any surface water body within or near the site. Therefore there will be no significant adverse environmental impacts due to proposed works. Photographs of project sites are given in Appendix 14.

IV. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Introduction

37. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Mitigation measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended to reduce the impact. 38. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.

b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services.

c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.

d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

39. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent).

27

40. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) requires that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence. 41. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for sewerage has been used to screen the project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE. 42. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant; (ii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iii) being located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

Location Impacts:

43. The land for construction of proposed FSTP is government land which belongs to Municipal Council, Bandikui and currently not in use. NOC is obtained by Municipal Council, Bandikui (refere Appendix 15 & 16). There are no habitations within 200 mtrs area around the proposed site. The approach to FSTP site is through road. There are no trees and shrubs present at site and no wildlife exists. There is no any surface water body within or near the site. Therefore there will be no environmental impacts due to proposed works.

Design Impacts:

44. During design phase various factors such as faecal sludge characteristics, quantity being presently generated, climatic conditions, soil characteristics and financial and technical capacity of municipal body were considered. Sludge treatment involves different treatment steps where available techniques can be combined in various ways depending on the existing constraints and the treatment objectives. 45. Faecal sludge can be treated in a variety of ways and there is no single best option considering the widely varying conditions of urban areas. The criteria for short listing options for this project are based on area requirement, treatment efficiency, simplicity in operation and maintenance, reliability and robustness of treatment modules, odour and public nuisance and cost effectiveness of the system at capex and opex levels. On the basis of these factors various suitable and possible technologies such as Unplanted Drying Beds, Planted Drying Beds, Bio Gas Digester and Stabilization Reactors were considered. While designing the sludge drying beds, elongated drying time has been considered for Monsoon. The Sludge Drying beds are covered from top to avoid direct mixing of rain water. 46. For the final treatment combination, it is recommended to use a combination of stabilization reactor along with unplanted drying beds to stabilize sludge. A Stabilization Reactor is preferred over a Biogas digester as most of the households’ faecal sludge entering the system will already be partially digested (This is indicated in the samples taken). As a result of this the biogas production in the digester will be very less, around 0.12 m3/kg as compared to 0.35 m3 /kg for wastewater hence proving that the biogas digester is not an effective treatment solution. Looking at the above facts it is also recommended to opt for unplanted drying beds for dewatering sludge as compared to planted drying beds (PDB) as they take up lesser area and are relatively cheaper and provide a reuse potential. It is proposed to have a stabilization reactor followed by an unplanted drying bed for the treatment of faecal sludge of Bandikui. The Dried sludge produced from sludge drying beds will be co-composted with municipal organic waste. In case ULB does not consider for co

28

composting, the dried sludge will be stored in sludge storage yard for six months to kill the pathogens and helminths and dispose to land fill after testing for harmful pathogens and helminths. Therefore, design impacts due to inappropriate technology of treatment, is already addressed during project design. Construction Impacts:

47. Construction impacts will mainly arise due to excavation and earth transportation and health risk to workers engaged in construction works, no impacts on flora and fauna will be envisaged due to proposed works. There will be no disruption of utilities due to construction works as no utilities exist at site. The potential impacts are negative and short term and can be easily mitigated by good construction practices and mitigation measures. Potential construction impacts are described in following paragraphs. 48. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, coarse aggregate, and cement will be required for this project. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Use material sources permitted by government3; (ii) Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PIU; and (iii) Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials

49. Air Quality. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons. These however will be temporary limiting to construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

(i) Consult with PIU/Consultant on the designated areas for stockpiling of, soils, gravel, and other construction materials;

(ii) Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling;

(iii) Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks;

(iv) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site

(v) Don't allow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and prevent access by barricading and security personnel

(vi) Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly. For other vehicles and equipments, contractor will submit PUC certificate to PIU before deployment at site.

(vii) Obtain, CTE and CTO for batching plant, hot mix plant, crushers etc. if specifically established for this project.

(viii) If contractor is purchasing ready mix concrete, asphalt/macadam and aggregates from third party, contractor will assure that all the parties/suppliers are having CTE/CTO from RPCB and will collect the copy of these certificates and submit to PIU/consultants

(ix) Conduct Air Quality Monitoring on quarterly basis and submit report to PIU/Consultants

3 CTE and CTO will be required for batching plant, hot mix plant, crushers etc. if specifically established for this project.

If contractor is purchasing raw material or ready mix concrete, asphalt/macadam and aggregates from third party, he has to be assured that third party is having CTE/CTO from RPCB and should collect the copy of these and submit to PIU/consultants

29

50. Noise and Vibration Levels. Construction works will be conducted in designated site only i.e. at FSTP in Bandikui urban area, where there are no residential or commercial activities. Other sensitive receptors are not present near the site which may be affected due to construction activities. Nevertheless, the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Plan activities so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance;

(ii) Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;

(iii) Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimise sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

(iv) Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. Contractor is required to have portable hand held noise level meter to measure the sound level during construction works and operation of vehicle and equipment.

(v) Conduct noise monitoring/ inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

51. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Comply with all national, state and local labor laws (see Appendix 7); (ii) Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S)

Plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OH&S Training4 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents;

(iii) Ensure that qualified first-aider is present at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site;

(iv) Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; (v) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; (vi) The project area experiences extreme temperature during summer months of

April and May, which may affect the health of workers engaged in construction work. Contractor should take necessary measures during summers including the following: a. Work schedule should be adjusted to avoid peak temperature hours

(12 – 3 PM) b. Provide appropriate shade near the work place; allow periodic resting

and provide adequate water c. Provide necessary medicine and facilities to take care of dehydration

related health issues (vii) Provide supplies of potable drinking water;

4

Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.

30

(viii) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances;

(ix) Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers;

(x) Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted;

(xi) Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;

(xii) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; (xiii) Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized

electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and

(xiv) Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for a duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

52. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The proposed site of FSTP is within the site of solid waste management site campus; therefore workers camp should not be established at this site. Therefore for establishment of workers camp, other location should be considered and the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Consult PIU/consultants before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants;

5Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules 2016 (refer appendix 8)

31

(i) The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case

agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities.

(ii) Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies.6 (iii) No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. (iv) The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals,

religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. (i) The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting

the site. (ii) Excess earth, dismantled materials and solid waste shall be disposed as per

provisions of Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 and Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016

Operation and Maintenance Impacts:

54. Construction contractor shall also be responsible for Operation and Maintenance of the FSTP for 5 years, under the control of Bandikui Municipal Board. The system have a design life of 15/30 years, during which shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the system in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts. 55. Improper disposal of dried sludge and silts removed from FSTP could cause inconvenience to public. Dried Sludge and silts shall be collected in trucks and transported to the approved disposal site and or can be used in other ways such as covering material for wastes being for landfill, use as manure in agriculture, filling of low lying areas etc. Municipal Council will be responsible to explore. 56. There are also certain environmental risks from the operation of the FSTP, most notably is disposal of untreated faecal material which can damage human health and contaminate both soil and groundwater. It will be imperative therefore that the operating agency establishes a procedure to routinely check the operation and integrity of the FSTP, and to implement rapid and effective repairs where necessary. 57. There is an occupation health risk to workers engaged in FSTP maintenance activities. During cleaning/clearing of FSTP system utmost precautions should be taken for the safety of workers conducting such works. Therefore O&M contractor will be required to-

(i) Ensure that employees and line management understand the risks through

proper instruction, training and supervision.

(ii) Provide suitable personal protective equipment that may include waterproof /

abrasion-resistant gloves, footwear, eye and respiratory protection. Face

visors are particularly effective against splashes. Equipment selection and a

proper system for inspection and maintenance are important.

(iii) Provide adequate welfare facilities, including clean water, soap, nailbrushes,

disposable paper towels, and where heavy contamination is foreseeable,

showers.

6 In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, an alternate site can be selected specifying the reasons. In

such a case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager.

32

(iv) Areas for storage of clean and contaminated equipment should be

segregated and separate from eating facilities.

(v) Provide adequate first-aid equipment, including clean water or sterile wipes

for cleansing wounds, and a supply of sterile, waterproof, adhesive dressings.

(vi) Make effective arrangements for monitoring the health of staff.

(vii) Keep emergency preparedness plan ready before start the work of sewage

system cleaning

58. Detail operation and maintenance plan is given in Appendix 13. 59. The citizens of the Bandikui town will be the major beneficiaries of the improved septage management, as they will be provided with a scientific way of treatment and disposal of faecal sludge. In addition to improved environmental conditions, the project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as diseases related to poor sanitation (unhygienic disposal of faecal sludge) will be reduced. This should improve the environment, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being. Diseases of poor sanitation, such as diarrhea and dysentery, should be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health.

V. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

Overview

60. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs/CBOs, and the media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for successful implementation as well as operation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy. 61. A three tier consultation process has been adopted for RSTDSP: focus group discussions, primary household sample surveys and a town-level stakeholder consultation workshop. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during preparation of detail project report and IEE, and any others that are identified during project implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of the subproject are: residents, government officials and utility agencies responsible for provision of services, Bandikui Nagar Palika, Public Health and Engineering Department, Forest Department and Rajasthan Pollution Control Board. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (LSGD and RUDSICO-EAP), Government of India and the ADB. Public Consultation

62. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction. Detail household survey and Stakeholder consultations were also done in planning phase by consultants. Details of stakeholder consultations are given in Appendix 9. Consultation during Project Preparation

63. Institutional consultations were conducted with the Governmental Departments such as Local Self Government Department, Pollution Control Board, Bandikui Nagar Palika, etc in various stages of project planning and design. The project proposals are formulated in

33

consultation with Bandikui Nagar Palika and the proposals were finalized after certification of Executive Officer and Chairman of Bandikui Municipal Councils, that the proposals suit the requirements of the ULB. 64. Focus-group discussions with residents and operators of present sewage collection and disposal system were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A detail household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand for infrastructure services.

65. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding the nuisance and disturbance due to present conditions of sewage collection and disposal system which have impact on their day to day activities. Public demanded for improvement in existing sewage system in the town. Public opined that an appropriate operation and maintenance system should be in place, especially for sewerage system, for its best functioning and to have the maximum health and aesthetic benefits. 66. Several stakeholder consultations were done in Bandikui Town with concerned Municipal Board officials at different stages of project preparation and planning. A brief of these consultations are given in Appendix 9.

67. The feedback and concerns of the stakeholders were taken into consideration during project design. Details of these stakeholder consultations are given in Appendix 9.

Consultation during construction

68. Prior to start of construction, contractor and consultants will conduct information dissemination sessions at town and solicit the help of the local community leaders/prominent citizens to encourage the participation of the people to discuss various environmental issues. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts, and provide a mechanism through which stakeholders can participate in project monitoring and evaluation. 69. A constant communication will be established with the residents and communities to redress the environmental issues likely to surface during construction and operational phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. Municipal Board and consultants will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations before and during the construction. Information Disclosure

70. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in the local language and made available at the offices of Municipal Board office and RUDSICO-EAP PMU office. Copies of summary will be provided to participants of city level workshop to be organized in Bandikui. Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website of the RUDSICO-EAP after approval by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

71. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the Municipal Boards will

34

issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers. A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the information of general public.

VI. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

72. A project-specific, three-tier grievance redress mechanism (GRM) covers both environment and social issues. The GRM will be established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of affected persons' concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at project level. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns related to the project. Assessment of the GRM designed and implemented for Rajasthan Urban Sector Development Program (RUSDP) the system was effective in timely resolution of grievances in a transparent manner. The multichannel, project-specific, three-tier GRM is functional at RUSDP, hence the design of GRM for RSTDSP takes into account the designed institutional structure for RSTDSP and the positive features and learnings from the previous GRM.

73. Common GRM. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project. Implementation of the resettlement plans/RIPPs/DDRs/IEEs will follow the GRM described below. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons' grievances related to the project.

74. Public awareness campaigns within entire ULB/Municipal area will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated. The nodal officer- social/environment at field level through community awareness and public participation consultant (CAPPC) will conduct ULB/Municipal area-based awareness campaigns to ensure that poor and vulnerable households are made aware of grievance redress procedures and entitlements. Contractors will provide pamphlets to communities prior to start of works and billboards during construction. The pamphlets and billboards will include relevant environmental and social safeguards, GRM information, and contact details of key personnel from PIU and contractors.

75. Affected persons will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaint/suggestion boxes that will be installed by project PIUs or by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in ULB offices/complaints register at contractor's work site or by sending a Whatsapp message to the PIU or by dialling the phone number of town level PIU/CAPPC or by dialling a toll-free number. Any aggrieved person can also avail the facilities of online grievance monitoring system 'Rajasthan Sampark' portal to register their grievances which is a parallel mechanism of grievance registration, in addition to the project GRM. Careful documentation of the name of the complainant, date of receipt of the complaint, address/contact details of the person, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved will be undertaken and feedback provided to the complainant on action/decision taken. The Safeguard and Safety Officer of town/city level PIU will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redressal on environmental and social safeguards issues and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, with the assistance of project consultants. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the contractor, and officials of PIU with assistance from construction management and supervision consultants (CMSC) and CAPPC on-site will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for quick resolution of grievances. Contact numbers and names of the concerned PIU safeguard and

35

safety officer, contractors, CAPPC and CMSC personal will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

76. 1st level grievance. The contractors, PIU Executive Engineer (EE)/Assistant Engineer (AE) designated as safeguard and safety officer (social and environment), CMSC (safeguard staff) and CAPPC can immediately resolve issues on-site, in consultation with each other and will be required to do so within 7 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance. If required, city level monitoring committee (CLMC) will be involved in resolution of grievances at the 1st level.

77. 2nd level grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed within 7 days at field/PIU level will be brought to the notice of Zonal PIU headed by Additional Chief Engineer (ACE).The ACE at zonal PIU will resolve the grievance within 7 days of receipt of compliant/grievance in discussion with the ASO, field level PIU, CMSC, CAPPC and the contractor.

78. 3rd level grievance. All the grievances that are not addressed by Zonal PIU within 7 days of receipt will be brought to the notice of the PMU. Depending on the nature of grievance, the Project Officer (Social/Environment) at PMU will resolve the grievance within 15 days of receipt of grievance with necessary coordination of Zonal PIU and CMSC and guidance/instruction of Additional Project Director (APD-PMU).

79. Grievances not redressed through this process within/at the project level within stipulated time period will be referred to the CLC/GRC, which has been set up In its role as a GRC, the CLC will meet whenever there is an urgent, pending grievance. Other grievances can be discussed during its regular meetings. Zonal PIU will inform the CLC regarding any grievances required to be resolved urgently. The GRC will resolve the grievance within 15 days of receiving the complaint. In case of any indigenous peoples impacts in subprojects, the CLC/GRC must have representation of the affected indigenous people community, the chief of the tribe or a member of the tribal council as traditional arbitrator (to ensure that traditional grievance redress systems are integrated) and an NGO working with indigenous people groups.

80. The multi-tier GRM for the project is outlined below (Figure 4), each tier having time-bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons' advice at each stage, as required. The GRC will continue to function throughout the project duration.

Note: APD = Additional Project Director, ASO = Assistant Safeguards Officer, CAPPC = community awareness and public participation consultant, CMSC = construction management and supervision consultants, CLC = city level committee, CLMC = city level monitoring committee, GRC = grievance redress committee, PIU = project implementation unit, PMU = program management unit, PMCBC = project management and capacity building consultant.

81. The project GRM notwithstanding, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. In case of grievance related to land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation, the affected persons will have to approach a legal body/court specially designed under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act (RFCTLARRA), 2013 .

82. People who are, or may in the future be, adversely affected by the project may submit complaints to ADB's Accountability Mechanism. The Accountability Mechanism provides an independent forum and process whereby people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice, and seek a resolution of their problems, as well as report alleged violations of ADB's operational policies and procedures. Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, affected people should make an effort in good faith to solve their problems by working with the concerned ADB operations department. Only after doing that, and if they are still dissatisfied, should they approach the Accountability Mechanism .

VII. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environmental Management Plan

83. The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible, non-detrimental manner with the objectives of: (i) providing a proactive, feasible, and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on-site; (ii) guiding and controlling the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the project; (iii) detailing specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the project; and (iv) ensuring that safety recommendations are complied with. 84. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be included in the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance. 85. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) establish an operational system for managing environmental impacts (ii) carry out all of the monitoring and mitigation measures set forth in the EMP; and (iii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

86. The Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7 show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

Monitoring and Reporting

99. Prior to commencement of the work, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PMU ensuring that all identified pre-construction environmental impact mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP will be undertaken. PMU will review the report and thereafter PMU will allow commencement of works. 100. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PMU/ULB and PO, PMU will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Monthly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be prepared by contractor with support of consultants and submitted to PMU. Format of monthly reporting is attached as Appendix 10. 101. Periodic site inspection will be done by supervision consultants and shall be reported in format attached as Appendix 11 to PMU for compliance of environmental safeguards of contractor. 102. Based on monthly reports and measurements, PMU will draft, review, and submit to ADB, 6-monthly (twice a year) EMP implementation progress report. Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed in the Project website. 103. ADB will review project performance against the RSTDSP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB's monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system. EMP Implementation Cost

104. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. Regardless of this, any costs of mitigation by the construction contractors or consultants are included in the budgets for the civil works and do not need to be estimated separately here. Mitigation that is the responsibility of PMU/ULB will be provided as part of their management of the project, so this also does not need to be duplicated here. Cost for the capacity building program is included as part of the project. Table 10 shows the Monitoring Measures along with estimated cost for implement the EMP.

VIII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

105. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Bandikui FSTP subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant. 106. During construction impacts will be mainly health and safety risk to workers, for which mitigation measures are given in EMP and the impacts, can be easily mitigated through adopting these measures. 107. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during implementation. The project’s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for redress of their grievances, and describes the channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance. 108. The EMP will assist the PMU, ULB and contractors in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project. The EMP will also ensure efficient lines of communication between ULB, PMU, consultants and contractor. A copy of the EMP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance. 109. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term FSSM facility in Bandikui. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigation measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices. 110. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category ‘B’ and does not require further environmental impact assessment.

Drainage and sewerage problem facing Environmental Health & Hygiene Present solid waste collection and disposal problem Safety of residents during construction phase and applying of vehicle for construction activities Dust and noise pollution and disturbances during construction work Setting up worker camp site within the village/ project locality Willingness to pay for improved services

People are not aware about the subproject proposed in the town. People are concerned about the poor sewerage conditions. They want to engage with the project as a job opportunity and want to become beneficiaries. There is no such environmental sensitive components nearby the project. No historical/ cultural religious sites nearby the subproject area. One temple is present near the site. Drainage and Sewerage are major problems in this area. By the proposed FSTP project in the town, environmental health and hygiene condition will be improved. Solid waste collection facility is poor in this area. The contractor should take care of the safety arrangement during construction phase. People should be made aware through CAPC and outreach team of contractor before start of work in particular area. There is enough space available nearby the project area to establish labour camp. People suggested establishing the worker camp away from the habitation so there is no conflict and disturbances. People are interested to pay for Faecal sludge collection services in the town.

Smooth functioning of FSTP treatment unit Hiring of skilled operator for operating the treatment unit Proper training to the operator from service provider is must

Clogging/damage of Inter connected pipes Can occur due to solid waste Can occur due to damaged screening

chamber

Responsible personnel from ULB should ensure that all damaged pipes are replaced with new ones

Operator should ensure that no solid matter enters treatment unit

Replacement of screening plate periodically

Irregular desludging of treatment modules Sludge may enter into subsequent

modules resulting in reduced efficiency of treatment

Clogging of the filter media in AF and SDB

Responsible personnel from ULB should ensure that regular desludging schedule is followed

The responsible personnel from ULB should ensure that periodic backwashing or replacement of filter materials

Charging activated sludge into AF Clogging of the filter materials

At the time of commissioning of the system and transferring sludge from one chamber to another, this must be avoided.

Clogging of filter media in SDB Can be due to leaves and solid waste

entering the SDB

Sign boards must prominently display this message in local languages and English

Disposal of Waste generated in the screening Inorganic Materials such as Solid like Plastic, Cloth, Sand etc. from screening chamber will be collected by manually scrapping using safety guards. The waste thus collected is stored in water tight structure and dried. After complete drying the waste will be sent to Municipal Solid Waste site for Further treatment

Disposal of Dried Sludge Option-1 – In case of Co-Composting with Municipal Solid Waste: The dried sludge can be co-composted along with the municipal organic solid waste with the municipal organic solid waste Generated.

Option-2- In case of ULB does not have composting facility the dried sludge will be stored in sludge storage House for the period of 6 months during which the pathogens (If they still exist after sludge drying bed stage) would be inactivated and after which can be reused.
