Contractor and DSC Partially Complied 1. The contractor is using cement, steel, sand and subgrade at pathway sites, temple site and at Mela Ground sites. Storage of construction material is not much as significant construction work has been completed. 2. The contractor is obtaining sand and subgrade from the licensed quarries and has been instructed to submit copy of license of the quarry. 3. The excavated earth for foundation works of rest shelter has been reused for filling. The Mela ground is a waste and barren land so top soil is of no importance as it has rocky and non fertile nature. The excavated earth from reservoir deepening near Mela ground has been used in filling works of retaining wall of this reservoir. 4. So far in the construction works no soil erosion issue has been identified. In the pathway works natural slope is maintained. At reservoir site, side slopes will be compacted and stabilized. 5. The fuel and lubricants are not stored at site and these are purchased on need basis so question of water pollution due to fuel and lubricants is not there. 6. The project involves deepening of reservoir near Mela Ground. The reservoir excavation work has been completed. The excavated earth mainly comprising of silt was kept aside. The side slopes of reservoir are being stabilised through compaction and pitching. The excavated earth is being used in fill works of retaining wall of this reservoir. 7. The generation of dust is there from construction

1-The contractor has been instructed to regularly submit the environment monitoring reports to PIU-PMU. 2-The contractor has been instructed to prepare plan for waste disposal from various sub project locations specially the excavated earth from the reservoir site. The earth should be used in fill works of retaining wall of reservoir. 3-The contractor has been advised to remove left over material from pathway construction sites.

material handling such as sand, sub grade and cement. Necessary measures for dust suppression are taken at site as per needs. These measures include water spray and keeping sand and cement inside the cover shed. Keeping sand piles in semi wet form through water spray. Regular Environmental monitoring Is not being done by Contractor. 8. At project site no construction vehicles are used except trucks bringing construction materials at site. These trucks/tempos have pollution under control certificates. The only construction equipment used at site is currently mixer, which is Diesel Generator operated. This mixer is operating intermittently and as such there is no issue of air emissions. 9. In the current construction phase of project mixer is the only noise generating equipment is in operation. No noise issue has been felt during the site visits. This is operated intermittently. At Mukhem village temple site, and at pathway construction works are not taken up during night time. Noise level monitoring is not being taken up as per monitoring plan. 10. The material handling by the workers at site is proper as construction labour were seen using personal protective equipment such as gloves, shoes, helmets, etc. 11. Presently construction waste /debris generation was seen at rest shelter site at Mela Ground. The excavated earth has also been generated at Reservoir site due to deepening. The maximum construction waste will be reutilised. The material which cannot be used will be disposed off. For this a disposal plan will be prepared in later phase of construction period. The contractor has been advised to segregate waste and store at one place at Mela Ground. 12. The contractor has procured personal protective equipment such as helmets, gum boots, jackets, gloves, etc. These are being used. The work force of the

59


contractor has been sensitized for use of PPEs by the DSC environmental expert during site visits. 13. So far conditions for Force Majeure have not been faced at the project site. 14. The project site being at an elevated height in a hilly terrain where low temperatures prevail. No mosquito breeding has been felt. However, contractor has been instructed to take necessary measures in consultation with local state health department. 15. Chance Archaeological finds have not been found so far during the construction works. The contractor has been instructed to inform to PIU and DSC , if any chance find is found. Necessary procedure such informing to state Archeological Department and waiting for their instruction, will be followed. 16. The existing temple at Mukhem village is being renovated so this will have a positive impact. The facilities being created at Mela ground will enhance pilgrimage at Sem Nagraj temple, so project overall will have positive impact on Religious structure. 17. No action needed as the project site is not close any route of migratory birds or any location where migratory birds are visiting.

Work as just started in Ganga Resort, Rishikesh. 2. Works are carried out within existing Tourist Rest House only and no natural drainage patterns are disturbed. No additional parking lots or landscaping planned as part of sub-project

None

Construction impacts 1.Construction Camps - Location, Selection, Design and Layout 2.Site clearance activities, including delineation of construction areas at sub-project sites 3.Drinking water availability for construction crew 4. Waste disposal 5. Improper stockpiling of Construction Material 6.Soil and Water Pollution due to fuel and lubricants, construction wastes 7.Siltation of water bodies due to spillage of construction wastes 8. Generation of dust 9.Emission from construction vehicles, equipment and machinery 10. Noise pollution 11.Material handling at site

Contractor and

DSC

Complied 1. Magnitude of works very less. No construction camp

required in any of the sites. 2. Works carried out within existing TRHs only. 3. Drinking water is being made available from existing

supply of TRHs. 4. Magnitude of waste generation is very less. Presently, it

is being stored at site, for reuse/ adequate disposal at later stages. The contractor has been advised to segregate waste and store at one place in the TRHs.

5. Since in all sites, modification/ refurbishment of existing TRHs is carried out, Storage of construction material is not much which is segregated and stored at site.

6. Storage of fuels is not required, and is brought from market as per needs. Construction waste requirement is also not much which is segregated and stored properly at site.

7. Works carried out within existing TRH, no issues of siltation of water bodies

None

61


12.Disposal of construction waste/debris 13.Safety measures 14.Clearing of Construction Sites

8. The generation of dust is in very less amount Necessary measures for dust suppression are taken at site which include water spray and keeping sand and cement inside the cover shed. At all project sites, no other construction vehicles are used except trucks bringing construction materials at site. The magnitude of works being very less, the frequency of vehicles is very less.

9. No major noise generating equipment is in operation. No noise issue has been felt during the site visits. works are not taken up during night time.

10. Very few labour are involved as works are very small in nature. Construction labour were seen using personal protective equipment such as gloves, shoes, helmets, etc.

11. No major waste disposal required. Waste will be disposed off in consultation with the management of TRHs.

12. The contractor has procured personal protective equipment such as helmets, gum boots, jackets, gloves, etc. These are being used.

13. Construction camps have not been made in any of the sites, as work scope is very less.

O & M impacts Waste oil generation on account of Panchkarma facilities and its safe disposal Safety risks Unhygienic conditions due to poor maintenance of sanitation facilities and irregular solid waste collection

7. Approach & Methodology engaged for environmental monitoring of the project

15. Continuous monitoring of EMP implementation is being carried out by DSC, PIU and PMU.

16. Concerned staff of DSC and PIU visit the construction sites and report to Team Leader DSC and

PMC about issues/ problems related to environmental non-compliance. Necessary directions, in case

of non-compliance are being issued to the contractors on the site and through letters about the

procedures to resolve the problems/issues or requirements. The Safeguards Staff of DSC conduct

regular site visits to monitor the implementation of safeguards measures on sites.

8. Monitoring of environmental receptors/ attributes

Monitoring basis

17. Monitoring for the implementation of Environmental Monitoring Plan/Management Plan is required to

be done to check if any adverse impact is being caused by the construction activities. The monitoring

of these variables is to be carried out in construction sites within 100 m impact zone of the sub

project.

18. The monitoring of environmental variables is to be carried out as per the agreed Environmental

Monitoring Plan.

Type of environmental receptor/ attribute to be monitored

19. The environmental attributes to be monitored include the air, noise and water quality parameters at

the construction sites in sub project sites. The air quality parameters monitored include RSPM

(PM10),PM2.5 SO2 and NO2. The water quality parameters include temperature, pH, electrical

conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended

solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS) and turbidity. In case of noise the day and night time Leq

values are monitored.
