Glossary

Affected Person Individuals who are affected by the project through land acquisition, relocation or loss of incomes, including any person, affected households, firms or private institutions who, on account of changes that result from the project will have their (i) standard of living adversely affected; (ii) right, title, or interest in any house, land (including residential, commercial, agricultural, forest, and/or grazing land), water resources, or any other moveable or fixed assets acquired, possessed, restricted, or otherwise adversely affected, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; and/or (iii) business, occupation, place of work or residence, or habitat adversely affected, with physical or economic displacement.

Assistance Support, rehabilitation, and restoration measures extended in cash and/or kind over and above the compensation for lost assets.

Compensation Payment in cash or kind for an asset to be acquired or affected by project at replacement cost based on current market value.

Cut-Off-Date The date after which eligibility for compensation or resettlement assistance (as the case may be) will not be considered. The final date of census is considered as eligibility cut-off-date. This is recognized as the social cut-off date. The legal cut-off date will be the date on which the section 2 notice under Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 is issued indicating the intention of land acquisition.

Displaced Person Displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use.

Entitlements The range of measures comprising cash or kind compensation, relocation cost, income restoration assistance, transfer assistance, income substitution and business restoration, which are due to affected households, depending on the type and degree/nature of their losses, to restore their social and economic base.

Eminent Domain The regulatory authority of the government to obtain land for public purpose/interest or use as described in LAA of 1950 in Sri Lanka. The principle of eminent domain and the land acquisition laws referred to will be applied to acquire the land required for the proposed substations.

Inventory of Loses

The record (inventory) of the affected or lost properties and assets identified during census survey which is used as the basis for preparation of the resettlement plan.

Non-titled Those who have no recognizable rights or claims to the land that they are occupying as per the national laws and includes people using private or public land without permission, permit or grant i.e., those people without legal title to land and/or structures occupied or used by them.

Poverty Line Households living below the official poverty line are the households whose average monthly income per person is less than SLR 4,166 as estimated in the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) of 2016 (Department of Census and Statistics). There is no update of the official poverty line thereafter as the HIES is conducted once in three years.

Relocation Rebuilding and re-establishing of private residential dwellings and businesses in a new location.

Replacement Cost

The calculation of full replacement cost will be based on the following elements: (i) fair market value, (ii) transaction costs, (iii) interest accrued, (iv) transitional and restoration costs, and (v) other applicable payments, if any.

Rehabilitation & Restoration

The restoration of income, livelihoods, and re-establishment of sociocultural system.

Vulnerable Households

Those households which are (i) living below the official poverty line, (ii) women headed households living below the official poverty line, (iii) headed by elderly over 70 years or disabled persons, and (iv) without legal title to land and to become landless due to land acquisition. The vulnerable status is finally determined subject to the impacts based on social survey.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Power Supply Reliability Strengthening Project, to be executed by the Ceylon Electricity Board of Sri Lanka (CEB) and Lanka Electricity Company (Pvt) Limited (LECO), is estimated to cost $276.32 million of which $200 million will be financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The balance will be financed by CEB and LECO. The project implementation period is 4 years starting from 2021. 2. The project consists of two main components.

• Component 1 – Reliability improvement and expansion of the CEB transmission network • Component 2 – Reliability improvement of the LECO distribution network

3. The project is categorized as B for involuntary resettlement and C for indigenous peoples based on screening conducted during due diligence, according to ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). Several alternative designs for the proposed scope were considered during due diligence to minimize resettlement impacts. The preparation of the resettlement plan was guided by ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement and the legal and regulatory framework of the government. The resettlement plan analyses the project related impacts and provides an entitlement matrix in section 7.1 that includes cash compensation and other resettlement assistance to persons affected by the project. This draft resettlement plan is based on several assumptions and preliminary engineering designs as the detailed and final engineering designs are yet to be completed. Therefore, CEB and LECO are responsible for updating the draft resettlement plan based on final engineering designs and detailed measurement surveys and submitting the final resettlement plan to ADB prior to the commencement of the project construction work. 4. Under component 1, the construction of transmission lines of a total length of 169 kilometers (km) may cause temporary damages along the right of way (ROW)1 to crops cultivated in an area of about 6.17 hectares (ha) (16 acres) out of a total area of approximately 290.16 ha (717 acres) within the ROW, cultivated by an estimated 359 households and 1,472 persons. There will be a permanent loss of 3.39 ha (8.38 acres) for households living within the ROW for the installation of transmission tower bases. No land will be acquired under the ROW but the loss of land by tower bases will be compensated. Also, the number of households who would be affected by transmission towers will be determined when the final designs are completed. For the long linear project such as this, the designs are finalized after the contractors on board by phase by phase. Construction work of the transmission lines can impact on an estimated 20% of the 188 built structures (approximately 38 structures) comprising 104 primary residential structures, 13 primary commercial structures and 71 auxiliary structures belonging to 113 households and a population of 481 people. 2 Further, construction work can potentially damage 2 common properties belonging to two state agencies. Impacts on structures will be largely temporary and partial damages during construction. Compensation for the affected structures will be paid at replacement cost enabling their complete restoration. Transmission lines will also cause loss of 5,686 standing trees for clearing the ROW for the construction work of the transmission lines. The number of tree owners cannot be established at this stage. The entitlement matrix of this resettlement plan provides for compensation for loss of land, crops and trees, and restoration of any built structures damaged by construction work.

1 No land will be acquired for the ROW of the transmission lines. The standard ROW for 132 kilovolts (kV) is 13.5

meters (m) either way from the centre of the line (27 m in total), whereas it is 17.5 m (35 m in total) for 220 kV lines. 2 The counted number of households is only those who were covered in the census and socioeconomic survey

conducted for the due diligence.

5. Since there will be no land acquisition for the ROW as per the practice of CEB, people can still retain their ownership to the land, and use it for residential and cultivation purposes, provided the vertical clearance requirement is maintained. The vertical clearance required between the rooftop of any structures and the lines is 3.6 meters (m) for 132 kilovolts (kV) and 4.6 m for 220 kV. Moreover, CEB will consider increasing the vertical clearance to 8 m or extending the height of transmission towers or use of additional angle towers to avoid any direct impacts on built structures, and physical displacements of the populations living within the right of way. Additionally, CEB will adopt sufficient safety measures during conductor stringing to avoid any damages to structures and risks of equipment falling and causing accidents. Transmission towers will not be installed in residential areas or in public spaces. Also, construction work will avoid peak periods of agricultural and other livelihood activities, and seasons that are abundantly occupied with educational, religious, and cultural activities. As such, neither permanent nor temporary physical displacements are anticipated due to construction of the transmission lines. The construction of underground transmission lines at a total length of 1.76 km will not cause any temporary or permanent adverse impacts on built structures or livelihoods of people as the cables will be laid along road shoulders. Measures will be taken to avoid access difficulties and inconveniences to the public during installation of underground cables. 6. Under component 1, the project includes construction of 7 new substations in an estimated land area of 11.02 ha (28.7 acres). The project also includes bay extensions to 4 existing substations and new protection panels for 11 existing substations, construction, and modification work of which will be confined to existing premises of the substations. The land required for the construction of new substations will be obtained by CEB following three different strategies. The first strategy is the direct purchase of land through negotiated settlement based on the willing seller–willing buyer principle and monitored by a third party to ensure that negotiations are free of coercion and pressure. The second strategy will be to use the state land vested in different state agencies and getting them transferred to CEB through the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers and a memorandum of understanding between CEB and the relevant land-owning agencies and subject to the payment of land values by CEB. The third strategy will be to acquire the land per the provisions in the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No. 9 of 1950 and the Land Acquisition and Payment of Compensation Regulations of 2009. Direct purchase of land for three substations (Kalawana, Tissamaharama and Negombo) will affect 4 land owning households and 14 persons. Land acquisition for Homagama substation by Urban Development Authority (UDA) will affect another household with 2 members. None of the landowners are exclusively dependent on the incomes generated by these lands. Land transfer for Homagama, Peliyagoda and Mirigama substations will be from 3 different state agencies. The land to be transferred to CEB for these three substations is free of encumbrances and they do not cause any resettlement impacts. The land for Baddegama substation will be qcquired per the national land act and regulations. 7. The vulnerable households affected by the transmission lines include (i) 35 women headed households; (ii) an elderly population of 36 persons who have reached the age of 70 years or above; (iii) 7 persons with disabilities; and (iv) 4 households living below the poverty line. There are no poor and vulnerable households among the persons affected by the acquisition of land for the substations. 8. Under component 2 of the project, LECO has proposed to construct an underground electricity distribution cable network in the Kelaniya area and the Nugegoda-Kotte area of the Colombo metropolitan region and 11 kV feeder reconfiguration work in Kotte, Nugegoda, Kalutara and Moratuwa areas, and a network automation system (NAS) with Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA). The latter subcomponent involves only the modification of the existing lines, and therefore no resettlement impacts are anticipated. The surveyed lengths of the cable network

proposed for Kelaniya area and Nugegoda-Kotte area are 48.2 km and 35.1 km, respectively. The cables will be laid along the road shoulders, and the width of the corridor required for digging and laying the cables is approximately 1.5–2 meters. 9. This component 2 executed by LECO does not require acquisition of land, and thus no physical or economic displacements are anticipated. The resettlement impacts are mainly construction-related and will cause temporary impacts such as access difficulties and inconvenience to residents, commercial establishments, common property resources and commuters, generation of dust and noise, and accidental damages to other utility services such as water and telecommunication lines. However, LECO will adopt necessary measures to avoid or minimize any adverse impacts arising from construction work. Construction work related to laying cables will be carried out at night to minimize inconvenience to the public. The digging of trenches for cables will be restricted to 400 m intervals per night, and they will be filled with soil immediately after laying the cables. Thick steel plates will be placed over sharp edges to avoid disturbances to traffic movements. Horizontal direct drilling will be used in areas where cables underpass railway crossings and major public roads to avoid any disruptions to transport services. 10. Public consultations were carried out with groups of men and women, and their community-based organizations including the affected persons in the project impact areas, for the purpose of disclosing information about the proposed project and its various subcomponents and eliciting their views and concerns. The feedback received from consultations will be used by the executing agency to carry out necessary revisions to the technical designs in order to minimize the resettlement impacts. Community level consultations were conducted at 18 different locations with the participation of 132 community members who included 71 men and 61 women. Consultations were also conducted with women’s groups at 9 locations in the subproject areas. The number of women who participated in those consultations was 52. Communities in the impact areas, made a strong emphasis that they need to be assured that the project does not cause any involuntary resettlement and any adverse impacts on their private properties, residential dwellings, public infrastructure, livelihoods, health and personal security. 11. The project management units (PMU) of CEB and LECO will continue their communications with the affected persons and other stakeholders and disclose information such as the dates of final surveys and census of affected households, valuation procedures, project-related impacts, specific entitlements of the affected persons, compensation procedures, grievance redress procedures and dates of the commencement of civil works. Brochures and posters containing relevant project related information will be developed and printed in Sinhala and Tamil languages, and they will be distributed to the affected persons and other interested parties prior to the project approval. A copy of the draft resettlement plan will be disclosed on ADB’s website as well as on the official websites of CEB and LECO. A translation of the resettlement plan in Sinhala and Tamil will be made available for public scrutiny at places easily accessible to the stakeholders. Once the draft resettlement plan is finalized with updated information, the same procedure of disclosure will be followed. 12. CEB, as the executing agency for component 1, will establish a two-tier grievance redress mechanism (GRM), one at the subproject site level, and the second at the PMU level led by the project director. The focal point for grievance redress at site level will be the project manager. At PMU level, there will be a committee appointed by the Additional General Manager (Projects) of CEB for problem-solving and grievance redress. Similar to the GRM of CEB, LECO will also establish a two-tier GRM for problem-solving and grievance redress. Any parties affected by the LECO component of the project can report their grievances/complaints to the LECO’s branch offices located in the project implementing areas. The focal points to receive, register and resolve

grievances will be the LECO branch engineer and/or the branch manager. If the issue cannot be resolved at the branch level, it will be forwarded to the project director of the PMU. 13. At each level, grievances will be resolved within a stipulated timeframe. Affected parties can resort to legal action in courts of law at any time. They also have access to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism. In parallel to the site-level and PMU-level GRM established by CEB and LECO, aggrieved parties can also submit their grievances to the divisional secretary of the respective subproject area. The divisional secretary is delegated with the powers of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) and empowered to address the complaints and grievances of the affected persons and the licensed utility companies. Grievances and complaints particularly with regard to issues of severances and disturbances to private properties causing from electricity projects and compensation for lost or affected assets can be brought to the notice of the divisional secretary. The project will ensure that information on the GRM of both CEB and LECO is widely disseminated to both affected parties and other stakeholders through well-planned awareness programs. 14. The land acquisition process in Sri Lanka will be governed by LAA of 1950 and the Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009. Based on the national regulatory framework and the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) of ADB, project implementation will be guided by the safeguards principles of (i) avoid, minimize and mitigate adverse impacts by exploring design alternatives; (ii) timely disclosure of project related information and entitlements to the affected persons; (iii) meaningful consultations with affected persons; (iv) compensation at replacement cost and full compensation prior to displacement; (v) special resettlement assistance to vulnerable households; (vi) restoration and improvement of livelihoods; and (vii) establishment of a grievance redress mechanism which is efficient, cost effective and easily accessible. 15. The entitlement matrix summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding entitlements in accordance with the legal framework of the government and ADB safeguard policies. The matrix provides for compensation at replacement cost for all losses, both permanent and temporary. Affected persons will be entitled for compensation irrespective of their title to offset such losses, enabling restoration of living conditions to a state better or equal to the pre-project situation. All affected persons who are identified in the project-affected areas on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets and rehabilitation measures. The legal cut-off date will be the date of issuing of section 2 Notice under LAA 1950 for title holders affected by land acquisitions. The social cut-off date is the final date of the census survey conducted based on the final design and detailed measurement survey for titleholders and non-titleholders affected by the transmission lines. Those who encroach into the subproject area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to receive compensation or any other assistance. 16. The first initiative of the livelihood support program will be undertaken to support 50 vulnerable housheolds affected by the transmission lines to establish plant nurseries in their homesteads, the production of which will be purchased by CEB for its island-wide tree plantation program implemented as part of CEB’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. The 50 beneficiary housheolds will include 35 women headed households and the rest 15 will be selected from among the elderly and disabled members of the affected households or their family members. CEB will facilitate technical training required for establishing and managing plant nurseries and extend other material and cash assistance to set up the nurseries. The program will be coordinated and monitored by the four project implementation units (PIU) and the social officers assigned to the project management unit. Moreover, both CEB and LECO will reach agreements with their respective construction contractors to offier employment for an agreed quota of women workers in the construction work of the project. Additionally, CEB and LECO will

arrange site visits to their facilities and orientations for 250 undergraduate students of whom 30% will be female students. Further, CEB and LECO will organize a joint women’s forum with 150 of their female engineers and professionals to identify women’s needs and problems to pursue their career path in the energy sector. Based on discussions in the forum, CEB and LECO will provide relevant skills training for their female engineers and professional staff. Tentatively 3 trainings are planned, and each training program will accommodate 100 female participants. The site visits, joint forum and subsequent trainings will be supported under ADB’s technical assistance (TA) project. 17. The resettlement budget provides for payment of compensation at replacement cost and includes compensation for loss of land (for substations and tower bases), land devaluation, and trees and crops along the transmission line right of way. The budget also makes provisions for additional resettlement assistance for vulnerable households. Further provisions have been made to cover the costs of conducting consultations, updating the resettlement plan, grievance redress and monitoring. The resettlement budget is estimated at SLRs1,021,007,585 of which a substantial portion will be for the procurement of land for the construction of substations, and compensation for trees. CEB will disburse the necessary funds through the PMU to cover the resettlement costs. 18. For component 1, the PMU of CEB will be responsible for overall coordination, supervision, and monitoring of the project’s compliance with social safeguards, which include resettlement planning, fund disbursements, coordination of all activities related to resettlement plan implementation, monitoring and reporting. PMU of CEB will appoint two social safeguards officers and one environmenal officer to its PMU who will be the focal point for the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and the resettlement plan. These officers would be long-term contract-based consultants. The social safeguards officers and one environmenal officer will be assisted by four PIUs and their respective staffs in the discharge of functions related to safeguards management. Additionally, there will be one health and safety consultant who will be engaged under ADB’s TA project to support the PMU.For component 2, LECO will appoint an Environmental and Social Safeguards Officer (ESSO) and a health and safety consultant to its PMU who will be responsible for the implementation of the EMP and the resettlement plan. The ESSO will also liaise with the engineers and managers of the LECO’s branch offices in the project implementing areas, particularly in grievance handling, consultations and information dissemination and monitoring of safeguards management. 19. All activities related to assessment of losses and payment of compensation will be completed before subproject sites are handed over to the contractors and the commencement of construction. No physical or economic displacement of affected persons will occur until full compensation is paid to the affected persons. All land will be freed from their encumbrances before they are handed over to contractors. CEB and LECO will hold the responsibility for monitoring the overall project processes, outputs, outcomes and impacts in periodic intervals. Both CEB and LECO will establish a monitoring desk at their respective PMUs and monitoring framework to conduct the monitoring activities. Semi-annual monitoring reports will be submitted to ADB and disclosed on ADB website. 20. Due diligence conducted for the project did not find the presence of any territories of the indigenous populations or ethnic minorities, their livelihood systems, customary properties or their natural or cultural resources within the boundaries earmarked for the project activities.

1. INTRODUCTION 1. This draft resettlement plan is for the proposed Power Supply Reliability Strengthening Project. The executing agency for component 1 of the project is the Ceylon Electricity Board of Sri Lanka (CEB), and for component 2 is the Lanka Electricity Company (Pvt) Limited (LECO), a state-owned electricity distributionutility. Both CEB and LECO will establish two separate project management units (PMU) for implementation of their respective project components. 1.1 Background 2. Sri Lanka reached a national electrification ratio of 99.3% in 2016, from 29% in 1990. While the country continues its economic growth and improvement in living standards, demand for electricity also further escalated. The energy sector however is currently struggling with the high cost of electricity emanating from poor generation mix and supply unreliability. Unreliability of electricity supply can be attributed to the under-investment in the transmission and distribution networks. 3. In addition to the higher electricity costs resulting from expensive generation technologies employed by the country, the unreliability of supply has already contributed to significant economic losses. The three country-wide blackouts that occurred within a span of 7 months during 2016–2017 were attributed to the poor operation of its protection system, lack of operational flexibility, and bottlenecks in the transmission and distribution networks. The Government of Sri Lanka is planning to strengthen the transmission and distribution networks and upgrade their protection systems to ensure a reliable operation of the national power system. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed in principle to finance a project that would strengthen the reliability of the power system and to be implemented by the CEB and LECO. The estimated cost of the project is $276.32 million of which $200 million will be funded by the ADB. The balance will be financed by CEB and LECO. The project implementation period is 4 years starting from 2021. 4. In addition to improving network reliability, the project will expand the transmission and distribution networks to remove grid constraints, facilitate the absorption of additional renewable energy generation, and reduce network losses. 5. The project comprises two components:

• Component 1–Reliability improvement and expansion of the CEB transmission network

• Component 2–Reliability improvement of the LECO distribution network 1.2 Component 1 6. Component 1 includes construction of a (i) 220/33 kilovolts (kV) grid substation (GSS), (ii) six 132/33 kV GSSs, (iii) 220 kV transmission lines with a total length of 45 km, (iv) 132 kV transmission lines at a total length of 123 km, (v) two 220 kV bay extensions in one GSS, (vi) two 132 kV bay extensions in three GSSs, (vii) a new control building in one existing GSS, and (viii) modification of protection systems in eleven substations and GSSs. A list of subprojects included under component 1 is given in Annex 1. Project area of component 1 spreads over to ten administrative districts in five provinces in the country as depicted in Figure 1. A map showing geographical distribution of subprojects is given in Annex 2. Considering their inter-dependency, subprojects in component 1 can be grouped into nine subcomponents: (i) Subcomponent 1– Mirigama 220/33 kV GSS, (ii) Subcomponent 2–New Anuradhapura GSS–New Habarana substation 220 kV Double Circuit Transmission Line, (iii) Subcomponent 3–Baddegama 132/33

kV GSS, (iv) Subcomponent 4–Homagama 132/33 kV GSS, (v) Subcomponent 5–Peliyagoda 132/33 kV GSS, (vi) Subcomponent 6–Kalawana 132/33 kV GSS, (vii) Subcomponent 7–Negombo 132/33 kV GSS, (viii) Subcomponent 8–Tissamaharama 132/33 kV GSS, and (ix) Subcomponent 9–Hambantota and Matara GSSs.

7. Component 1 also includes the establishment of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. With the expansion of CEB’s engineering and commercial activities and generating a corporate annual income exceeding SLRs250 billion, a systematic process to manage its business activities is required. In this regard, establishing an ERP system has been proposed. As part of the project, CEB will procure an ERP system which encompasses management systems for Finance, Procurement and Inventory, Project Management, Workflow and Document Management, Customer Information System, Business Intelligence and Reporting, Human Resource Management, Fleet Management, Asset Management, Maintenance Management and

Fuel Management modules. 1.3 Component 2 8. Currently, LECO is operating in the coastal urban areas in the western part of Sri Lanka such as Negombo, Kelaniya, Kotte, Nugegoda, Moratuwa, Kalutara and Galle. Electricity is supplied to LECO by CEB at 33 kV and 11 kV voltage levels. CEB uses thirty-seven 33/11 kV primary substations to supply electricity to LECO. LECO’s electricity distribution network comprises 1,015 km of 11 kV distribution lines, 3,780 km of 400 V low voltage (LV) lines and 4,850 11/0.4 kV distribution transformers. With a maximum demand of 254 MW, and an average annual growth of 3%, LECO was serving around 577,000 customers by the end of year 2018.3 9. When comparing the performance of the different distribution networks’ reliability and power quality against the standards and regulations specified by the Public Utility Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL), it has been observed that the reliability level of LECO’s distribution network has deteriorated over time. The low reliability of supply experienced by LECO consumers is a result of source supply (11 kV supply from CEB) outages and LECO’s own network (11 kV & LV distribution networks) outages. These outages occur as a result of planned and unplanned interruptions in the network. Despite the target levels of reliability indices for the five distribution licensees (including LECO) are yet to be specified by the PUCSL, LECO considers the rising levels of unreliability to be unacceptable since the interruption hours and interruption frequency of the distribution system have become significantly high over the past few years when compared to other distribution licensees. 10. According to the source supply reliability indices within LECO branch areas, including both planned and unplanned outages, the lowest reliability level is observed in Kelaniya Branch area. The system average interruption duration index (SAIDI), system average interruption frequency index and energy not served values in the Kelaniya Branch area are the highest when compared with other branches. Also, most of the primary substations of LECO are likely to be loaded beyond their firm capacities in the near future. LECO has forecast that, by the end of year 2023, all the primary substations, apart from Kiribathgoda, will be loaded more than 79% of their rated capacity. 11. To resolve these reliability and overloading issues of its distribution network, LECO is planning to convert the overhead medium voltage (MV) and LV distribution network to an underground network in selected urban areas while feeders are to be reconfigured to improve fault isolation in other areas. 12. The project area covers 4 operational branches of LECO, namely: (i) Kelaniya; (ii) Kotte; (iii) Nugegoda; and (iv) Kalutara. All these areas can be considered ‘urban’ where Kelaniya and Kotte areas have more ‘industrial’ loads and higher number of spot loads compared with other branch areas. 13. Component 2 is divided into 3 subcomponents as follows.

i) underground cabling and packaged substation work in Kelaniya area ii) underground cabling and packaged substation work in Kotte and Nugegoda areas iii) 11 kV feeder reconfiguration in Kotte, Nugegoda, Kalutara and Moratuwa areas, Network

Automation System (NAS) with Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA)

14. Subcomponent 1 includes (i) Underground cable laying for 33 kV, 11 kV and LV distribution lines in the Kelaniya branch area with total line lengths of 37 km, 32 km and 32 km respectively and (ii) Construction of packaged substations, switching stations and optical fiber cables in the above area.

15. Subcomponent 2 includes (i) Underground cable laying for 33 kV, 11 kV and LV distribution lines in the Kotte and Nugegoda branch areas with total line lengths of 10 km, 37 km and 37 km respectively and (ii) Construction of packaged substations, switching stations and optical cables in the above areas. 16. Subcomponent 3 includes (i) Installing auto reclosers, (ii) Installing remotely operated load break switches and controllers, (iii) Installing optical fiber cables, (iv) Studying fault isolation algorithm which lies under feeder reconfiguration in the selected distribution system, and (v) A NAS with SCADA to monitor distribution loads and feeder end voltages in project implementation areas. The switchgears with remote terminal units can be operated at their optimum condition with the help of this system. 17. Much of the 33 kV and 11 kV underground cables of subcomponents 1 and 2 are designed to be laid parallel in the same trench, and as a result of that, the lengths of the underground routes are shorter than the actual underground cable lengths. 1.4 Due Dilligence and Measures to Minismize Impacts 18. Due diligence was conducted for 9 transmission lines and 7 new substations proposed by CEB, and for the 2 underground distribution cabling networks proposed by LECO for Kelaniya region and the Nugegoda-Kotte region. However, due diligence was not conducted for proposed bay extensions to 4 existing substations and new protection panels for 11 existing substations as the construction work and modifications will be confined to the existing premises of the substations, and no resettlement impacts are identified. Though there are settlements located within a radius of approximately 500 m from the exisiting substations, cultivations and plantations and common properties as shown in Annex 3, none of them will be affected by the proposed bay extensions and protection panels. The land required for bay extensions and the panels are readily available within the exisiting premises of substations, and hence no land acquisitions are required. (see Annex 3 for a summary report on the status of the exisiting 15 substations prepared based on the environmental audit). 19. The social impact assessments conducted for the proposed transmission lines as part of due diligence was preceded by a lengthy discussions between resource management associates, the consultant appointed for preparing the project, and CEB to screen and agree on the transmission line routes that have the least social and environmental impacts. In this regard, several alternatives were explored through a rigorous screening process which included several rounds of desk studies using satellite images, and reviewing the feedback received from due diligence teams in the field as depicted in the diagram 1.2 below. However, the engineering, procurement and construction contractors will be responsible for conducting the profile surveys, identifying the exact locations of towers, and finalizing the line routes with the concurrence of CEB. Updating of the resettlement plan based on the finalized line route and tower locations will be the responsibility of CEB. If there is a substantial deviation in the line route from the appraised line routes, CEB shall submit the new line route and the corresponding safeguards documents to ADB for approval. Under component 2 of the project, underground cables will be laid along public roads, and hence a change in cable routes or any significant change in social impacts is not anticipated. However, the resettlement plan would still be updated by LECO to record any change

The preparation of this resettlemet plan was guided by ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP), 2001 of the Government of Sri Lanka, Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 with its subsequent amendments and Land Acquisitions and Payment of Compensation Regulations of 2009. 22. The resettlement plan analyses the project-related impacts resulting from land acquisition, land purchases and transfers, and structural damages and loss of livelihoods due to project construction work. Project impacts are largely confined to economic displacements, causing temporary loss of livelihoods, and standing trees. Except in two plots of land, all other plots of private land to be acquired or purchased for the project generates incomes to their respective landowners. However, none of the landowners are exclusively dependent on the income from these lands. Landowners have sufficient other physical and financial assets for their sustenance. No physical displacements due to project interventions are anticipated. 23. This draft resettlement plan is based on several assumptions and preliminary engineering designs. Therefore, CEB and LECO are jointly responsible for (i) completing the detailed and final engineering designs; (ii) updating the results of the social impact assessment; (iii) re-assessment of the impacts of land acquisitions, land purchases, and transfers; (iv) completing the census survey of all affected persons; (v) updating the inventory of losses; (vi) updating and finalizing the resettlement plan; and (vii) submitting the final resettlement plan to ADB prior to the commencement of civil works.

2. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 2.1 Introduction 24. The installation of transmission lines does not require any land acquisition in accordance with the practice followed by CEB. However, the establishment of the right of way (ROW) for transmission lines of different capacities can cause resettlement impacts. They can cause permanent loss of land for transmission tower bases, and temporary damages to residential and commercial structures including their auxiliary structures and common property resources situated within the ROW during project construction work. Removal of standing trees within the ROW to pave the way for construction work of the transmission lines, will lead to permanent economic displacements since trees above 5 m in height will not be allowed to be planted once the transmission lines are constructed. Furthermore, temporary economic losses are anticipated due to removal of crops cultivated within some sections of the ROW of transmission lines to clear the land for construction work. 25. Permanent land acquisition, land ransfers and purchases are required for the construction of 7 new substations. No physical displacement of affected persons is foreseen due to land acquisitions. Details of the land identified for the new substations and their potential impacts are described later in this chapter. 2.2 Transmission Lines and Towers 26. The transmission line component encompasses nine transmission line subprojects as follows: (i) Four main transmission lines which include one 220 kV and three 132 kV lines with a total length of 157 km; (ii) Five Line in, Line Out (LILO) connections comprising one 220 kV and four 132 kV lines at a total length of 12 km. Of them, one of the LILO lines (1.76 km) will be constructed underground. 27. The estimated total length of all 9 transmission lines is 169 km. The transmission lines earmarked for construction under the project, their estimated lengths, and the standard width of RoW for each transmission line are shown in Table 2.1.

does not encompass any built structures or fruit-bearing trees. The only impact is on an estimated 28 timber trees. Not only the lengths of the terminal options 1, 2, and 3 are relatively long varying from 1.7 km to 2.1 km but also its impacts on built structures, timber trees and fruit-bearing trees are comparatively high (see Annex 4.1 for inventories of the 4 terminal options).

2.2.1 Right of Way for Transmission Lines 28. The standard ROW for 132 kV is 13.5 m either way from the centre of the line (27 m in total), whereas it is 17.5 m (35 m in total) for 220 kV lines. Impacts of transmission lines caused by installation of transmission towers and stringing conductors will affect the population living within the ROW, leading to loss of their land due to tower bases, potential temporary and partial damages to residential, commercial and auxiliary structures, disruptions to livelihood activities, loss of standing trees and crops, and access restrictions to common property resources. These impacts are largely temporary economic displacements and will not trigger physical displacements of the population. However, restrictions imposed on land use under the transmission lines may potentially affect future land values. 29. Since there are no land acquisitions required for transmission lines, people will retain their ownership of the land, and use it for residential and cultivation purposes provided the vertical and horizontal clearance requirement is maintained after construction. CEB has set the standards for vertical and horizontal clearance requirements of different transmission line voltages as shown in Table 2.2. Moreover, CEB will consider increasing the vertical clearance to 8 m (beyond the standard requirements) or extending the height of transmission towers or use of additional angle towers to avoid any direct impacts on built structures, and physical displacements of the populations living within the transmission corridor. Additionally, CEB will also use scaffoldings over the built structures during conductor stringing or removal of existing conductors to avoid any damages to structures, and risks of material or equipment falling and causing accidents. Also, construction work will avoid peak periods of agricultural and other livelihood activities, and seasons that are abundantly occupied for educational, religious, and cultural activities. As such, neither permanent nor temporary physical displacements are anticipated due to construction of the transmission lines. Compensation will be paid for trees and crops located directly under the conductor corridor that would be removed or damaged during construction work when providing access for the movement of vehicles, machinery, and equipment and during conductor stringing. However, if trees within the standard ROW violate the clearance requirements, they too will be removed and compensated. CEB will also pay compensation for the devaluation of all types of land situated within the full width of the ROW as determined by the divisional secretary.

30. The laying of underground cables to the new Peliyagoda GSS by way of a single LILO from Kelaniya GSS–Kotugoda GSS 132 kV double circuit transmission line, will require a 2.5 m corridor during its construction period. Apart from temporary disturbances and access inconveniences to 36 residential dwellings and 115 commercial premises during the construction period, no permanent or temporary adverse impacts on built structures or livelihoods of people are anticipated. The underground cables will be laid along the road shoulders, and the construction work will be carried out during nighttime to minimize inconveniences to the general public. 2.2.2 Transmission Towers 31. The number of transmission towers required for 9 transmission lines is estimated at 545 which include 13 terminal towers, 177 angle towers and 355 suspension towers. The line span (tower to tower distance) is 300 m for 132 kV and 350 m for 220 kV lines. The installation of 545 towers requires a land area of 3.39 ha (8.38 acres). The number of towers required for transmission lines, and the land area required for their installation are shown in Table 2.3 (details are provided in Annex 4).

33. The affected land of the ROW comprises approximately 290.72 ha (717.29 acres) of cultivated areas (58%) comprising 202.88 ha (501.33 acres) of paddy land, 58.35 ha (144.18 acres) of highlands grown with seasonal crops, and 29.05 ha (71.78 acres) under tea plantation. Further, forest and shrub areas constitute 31.95 ha (78.96 acres) and 15.46 ha (38.2 acres), respectively. Areas declared as sanctuaries by the Department of Wildlife Consevation spread over 8.18 ha (20.22 acres). These different land-uses account for about 70% of the area under the ROW. The rest constitutes residential areas, water bodies and public infrastructure (see Annex 5 to Annex 13 for social inventories prepared for transmission line routes). Given the average landholding size of 2 acres per project affected household,5 it is estimated that the ROW of the transmission lines can impact on land belonging to 613 households whose household population is approximately 2,513 people.6 The installation of 545 towers requires a total land area of 3.39 ha (8.38 acres) for their tower bases. The land area used for the tower bases will be a permanent loss to their respective landowners. The landowners who lose the land for towers will be compensated by CEB at market value of the property. As per the practice, people will also be allowed to cultivate underneath the tower base area.

2.3.1 Impact on Agricultural Land 34. As mentioned, the extent of the cultivated land under the standard ROW of transmission lines is estimated to be 290.72 ha (717.29 acres) or 58% of the total land under the full ROW. Paddy is the predominant crop grown within the cultivated areas with a share of 70% followed by 20% of seasonal crops, and 10% under tea plantations. Paddy cultivations are mainly rain-fed and confined to two seasons of the year. Following the same criteria of average land holding size of 0.81 ha (2 acres) per project affected household, it can be estimated that approximately 359 households with a total estimated population of 1,472 will be cultivating this land within the ROW. Of them, some will lose their crops or access to cultivations during construction work of the transmission lines. However, the project will not cause adverse impacts on the entire cultivated area. It will have direct and temporary impacts on the crops grown especially around the areas earmarked for transmission towers and the access paths used for transportation of construction material and the movement of machinery. Except for permanent loss of land for tower bases and temporary loss of cultivations grown within these tower base lands; transmission towers will not have adverse impacts on the agricultural activities and the livelihoods of people. Any impacts on crop cultivations due to construction work will be confined to a single season of the year. People will also be allowed to grow their crops under tower bases once the construction work is over. The exact number of households to be affected will be updated based on the final engineering designs and the census survey. The resettlement plan will be updatd accordingly. 2.4 Impact on Built Structures 35. The presence of a variety of built structures comprising both primary and secondary structures was observed within the ROW of the transmission lines. They include residential structures, small and medium-scale commercial establishments, auxiliary structures, and common property resources (CPR). However, the construction work of the transmission lines will avoid/minimize adverse impacts on these built structures and no permanent or full impacts causing from construction work is anticipated. Construction of transmission towers will avoid areas where residential and other built structures are located. If the installation of transmission lines over built structures cannot be fully avoided, the height of the towers will be raised, and the vertical clearance requirements will be secured. In the event of any partial damages caused to these primary and/or auxiliary structures during construction work, the project will pay compensation at replacement cost to the affected parties, enabling their full restoration. The anticipated impacts, if any, on these residential, commercial, and auxiliary structures and CPRs would include minor cracks on walls/floors due to vibration, access difficulties or accidental damages due to movement of vehicles or machinery. 2.4.1 Impact on Residential Structures 36. The social inventories prepared for the transmission lines recorded 6 transmission lines that will altogether impact on 104 residential structures of different forms located within their respective ROW (refer Annex 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 for exact locations of these residential structures together with their respective geographic coordinates under the 6 transmission lines). They comprise 95 permanent residential structures, 1 semi-permanent, 4 temporary, and another 4 which are under construction (Table 2.5). However, the exact number of owners of residential structures could not be established during the census survey as some of the structures remained closed at the time of the survey, or else, the owners lived in a different residential dwelling located elsewhere. In some cases, the residential structures were rented to another party, and those tenants could not respond to the census.7 The highest number of permanent residential structures

7 The survey covered only 70 out of 104 residential structures which were occupied by 68 owner households.

to be affected is reported from New Anuradhapura GSS - New Habarana SS 220 kV double circuit transmission line with 66, followed by 13 structures in the Hambantota GSS–Matara GSS 132 kV transmission line. The existence of 66 residential structures along the Anuradhapura–Habarana transmission line, points to the assumption that either people have later constructed their houses under the transmission line, or the transmission line was erected over the existing residential structures.8 However, none of the residential structures need to be relocated as the heights of these structures are well within the vertical and horizontal clearance requirements. Further, as mentioned, CEB will use scaffoldings over these residential structures to avoid any accidental damages during conductor stringing or their removal.

2.4.2 Impact on Commercial Structures 37. Not many commercial structures will be affected by the proposed transmission lines, and they too are confined to only four transmission line routes (Table 2.6). The total number of commercial structures found within the ROW of the lines is 13 which includes 9 permanent structures, 1 semi-permanent, and 3 which are under construction (refer Annex 4,5,8 and 11 for exact locations of these residential structures together with their respective geographic coordinates under the four transmission lines). Apart from the 3 structures which are under construction, rest of the 10 structures includes 3 retail groceries (one being closed down), a medium size tourist hotel with a spa, a small building used for a rice mill, a tea kiosk, a workshop that manufactures concrete products, a rice mill, a tile factory (not operational), and a vegetable

stall. As in the case of residential structures, the exact number of owners of commercial structures could not be established during the census survey as some of the structures remained closed at the time of the survey or else, only the tenants occupying the structures were available. The survey enumerated only 7 structures which have been used by 3 housheolds for commercial activities. None of the commercial structures need to be relocated as they all comply with the mandatory clearance requirements. Further, as mentioned earlier, construction contractors will follow precautionary measures such as fixing scaffoldings to avoid any damages to these properties during construction work. Thus, no access disturbances to these commercial activities or temporary loss of their livelihoods or incomes due to construction work are anticipated.

2.4.3 Impact on Auxiliary Structures 38. Auxiliary structures are either part of the primary structures or else remain independent of the main structures. For example, 14 auxiliary structures were counted within the ROW of the New Anuradhapura GSS–New Habarana substation 220 kV double circuit transmission line, which included 4 cattle sheds, 2 paddy storage buildings, 2 garages, a storage yard for discarded metal, 3 storerooms, one poultry pen and a kitchen. Similar numbers of auxiliary structures, especially those associated with primary structures were observed in the rest of the transmission lines as well. Altogether, 71 such auxiliary structures belonging to 42 households were enumerated in the census survey which included 30 toilets, 23 toilet slabs, 7 drinking water wells, 3 cattle sheds, 2 paddy storerooms, 2 storerooms used for other purposes, one poultry pen, one kitchen, one garage, and one storage yard for discarded metal. As in the case of residential and other structures, these auxiliary structures need not be relocated, and they can remain intact within the ROW. The auxiliary structures not only meet the clearance requirements, but also CEB’s contractors will ensure that they are not affected by construction work of the line. 2.5 Impact on Common Property Resources 39. Three transmission lines will traverse a number of common properties located within their ROW. The New Anuradhapura GSS–New Habarana substation 220 kV double circuit transmission line traverses a temple land, a school (toilet, classroom building and the playground), public health midwife’s clinic and a mosque. Since the conduct of due diligence in August 2019, and having observed the potential impacts, CEB had altered the line route to avoid all these public

14

properties. The Hambantota GSS–Matara GSS 132 kV double circuit transmission line traverses Bata-atha government farmland and a freshwater prawn farming and training centre, and a burial ground. Meanwhile, there is a police post within the ROW of the Mirigama substation double LILO from New Habarana substation–Veyangoda GSS 220 kV double circuit transmission line. However, none of these public institutions and places needs to be relocated since they all comply with the mandatory clearance requirements. 2.6 Impact on Trees 40. Of the nine transmission lines, construction of seven transmission lines and their respective towers will affect a number of standing trees of different varieties. Standing trees over and above the height of 5 m along the ROW have to be removed to pave the way for the construction work of transmission lines, and subsequently for transmission line maintenance purposes. Trees below the height of 5 m and other crops such as banana and bamboo clumps do not require their removal as their heights are lower than the standards set by CEB for tree removal. The total number of trees within the ROW of the seven transmission lines is estimated to be 6,647 comprising 4,086 timber trees (61%) and 2,561 fruit bearing trees (39%). Moreover, there are around 100 banana clumps and 33 bamboo clumps within the ROW. (See Table 2.7, and Annex 14 and Annex 21 for tree inventories). 41. Assuming that all large (> 10 m in height) and medium size (5–10 m in height) trees within the ROW are removed permanently, the estimated number of timber and fruit-bearing trees to be affected by the seven transmission lines will be 5,686 comprising 3,817 timber trees and 1,869 fruit-bearing trees. The average number of trees lost per kilometer is approximately 34. However, the number of households/owners of the trees could not be established in the census survey. As per the practice of CEB, the owners of the trees will be allowed to remove the trees and use them for their personal needs, and the cost of labor for tree removal will be added to the compensation for the trees to be paid to the affected parties. The total market value of the affected trees is estimated to be SLRs72,652,350, considering the average rates applied by CEB for a variety of tree species of different sizes as well as local market rates (See Table 2.8 and Annex 22 for estimated values of trees).

2.7 Impact of Land Acquisition for Substations 42. The construction of one 220/33 kV substation and six other 132/33 kV substations require a total land area of 11.01 ha (27.22 acres). Of them, land required for three substations, namely, Kalawana, Negombo and Tissamaharama will be directly purchased by CEB from their respective landowners through negotiated settlement based on willing-buyer-willing-seller principle. CEB had already concluded its transactions for the purchase of Tissamaharama land in September 2020 and commenced the process for the purchase of the rest two lands (Kalawana and Negombo) which is expected to be completed in September 2021. The land transactions and negotiations will be guided by the property valuations by the government’s Valuation Department, which will take into account a number of factors in the calculation of the property values. They include the maket value of the land, injurious affection and severance that would cause to the land as a result of land acquisition, land improvements carried out by the owner and disturbances and other losses.9 The entire negotiation process and financial transactions will be monitored by an independent third party to ensure that negotiations and related decisions are made free of coercion and pressure. If the negotiations with the landowners failed in case of disagreements over property valuation, CEB will opt for the involuntary acquisition of the same plot of land. The land acquisition process will be governed by Sri Lanka’s Land Acquisition Act No.9 of 1950 which is explained in chapter 6 of this resettlement plan. In both direct purchases and involuntary acquisitions, the burden to prove the ownership rights lies with the landowner/s by providing the

necessary documents such as title deeds. No civil works will commence on such properties until acquisition process is completed, and full compensation is paid to the affected landowners. Land required for three other substations–Mirigama, Homagama,10 and Peliyagoda which are vested with three different state institutions will be transferred to CEB through memoranda of understanding to be signed between those agencies and the CEB, and subject to the payment of land values by CEB.11 Negotiations between CEB and the Board of Investment (BOI) to get the land required for Mirigama substation has been concluded in June 2020 and the land will be relased by BOI through a Deed of Gift. CEB submitted the government’s valuation report for this land which is a statutory requirement to be included in the Deed of Gift. The initial requirements for the official transfer of Homagama land had commenced in 2018 and for Peliyagoda land in 2020. It is anticipated to conclude the transfer process of the Peliyagoda land in September 2021 and Homagama land by mid 2022.The land required for the Baddegama substation will be acquired by CEB following the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950. The processes for land acquisition had commenced in January 2019, and it will be concluded in mid 2022. Since the land purchases, transfers and acquisitions are spread over a period of almost 5 years between 2018 and 2022, not all land will be readily available for construction work at a specific point of time. Hence, the construction work of the substations will follow a phased approach depending on the availability of the land earmarked for substations. Details of land required for each substation are given in Table 2.9.

landowners or their families. Land purchases for Kalawana, Negombo, and Tissamaharama substations will cause partial economic displacements to four landowners with the loss of their commercial lands and the incomes generated from those respective lands. However, none of these four landowners are exclusively dependent on the incomes from the land that they have agreed to sell to CEB as they have several other physical and financial assets for their sustenance. There are no vulnerable households among the land-owning households, and sale of their lands will not cause any form of impoverishment. The two laborer households who are partially dependent on the land to be sold in Kalawana and Negombo will be assigned to alternative sources of incomes by the respective landowners ensuring that their incomes remain intact. Further, the laborer family in Negombo will be relocated to a new dwelling to be constructed by the landowner. The government-owned blocks of land in Mirigama and Peliyagoda and to be transferred to CEB and the land in Baddegama to be acquired by CEB are free of encumbrances. The land in Homagama will be acquired by UDA, and full compensation for the affected landowner will be paid by UDA prior to the transfer of the land to CEB. Timelines for completion of land acquistions, purchases and transfers and the full payment of compensation have been set by CEB as shown in Table 2.10 and Annex 23.

44. All procedures to be followed in different approaches and the financial transactions including payment of full compensation to landowners and affected parties will be concluded prior to the commencement of construction work. CEB will also submit monthly status reports to ADB on the progress of land acquisition, land purchases and transfers. In case of any changes in the land procurement strategies or CEB having to shift from one mode of procurement to another, same will also be communicated to ADB for prior approval. 45. Mirigama 220/33 kilovolts grid substation. The board of investment (BOI) of Sri Lanka, a government entity, will allocate 2.23 ha (5.5 acres) of its land in the Mirigama Export Promotion Zone (MEPZ) on a free of charge basis by a Deed of Gift for the construction of the substation. Although there is a built structure inside the land, which had been previously used to provide accommodation to MEPZ staff, it is no longer being used for permanent occupancy. A few residential dwellings were found about 200 m away from the proposed site, and the closest structure to the site is a water treatment plant but located outside the boundaries of the proposed

13 Due to proplonged delays in the land acquisition process, CEB requested the UDA to provide an alternate land plot

substation. None of the residential structures will be affected by the construction of the substation. Overall, the land is overgrown with shrubs, but it contains about 85 coconut trees, 8 kitul trees, 4 mango trees, 3 jackfruit trees, and 10 timber trees (Kenda). 46. Baddegama 132/33 kilovolts grid substation. The construction of the substation requires 1.88 ha (4.65 acres) of land. The land earmarked for the substation is located in the Indigasketiya village in the Ganegama East Grama Niladhari Division (GND) of the Baddegama Divisional Secretary’s Division (DSD) in the Galle district. The total extent of the land is 7.28 ha (18 acres). This is a state land vested with the Land Reform Commission, and it is now managed by the Namunukula Plantations PLC which had obtained it on a long-term lease of 55 years. Of this total land, CEB will acquire 4.65 acres (26% of the total land), which contains a degraded rubber plantation. The Valuation Department has estimated the value of the land to be acquired by CEB to be SLRs22.2 million which included the value of rubber trees situated on this land. Although there are about 400 rubber trees grown on this land, latex tapping had not been carried out for the past several years. Hence the land does not generate any income. Further, the 132 kV Ambalangoda GSS–Galle GSS transmission line traverses approximately 500 m away from the proposed land, and hence the proposed Baddegama GSS Single LILO from Ambalangoda GSS –Galle GSS 132 kV double circuit transmission line (0.50 km) can be easily connected to the substation via paddy fields. There are 11 residential dwellings located adjacent to the proposed land–6 on the boundary of the land and 5 along the access road to the land. However, the substation will be constructed on the other side of the land and closer to the paddy fields so that sufficient distance can be maintained between the substation and the residential dwellings. The construction of the GSS will not have any impacts on those residential dwellings or the paddy fields. The proposed staff quarters will be constructed on the section which is closer to the residential dwellings. The Minister of Power and Energy has approved the proposal for acquisition of the land which has already been published in the government gazette No.2158/40 dated 17.1.2020. The land acquisition process is in progress as explained in Table 2.10. CEB will engage in a consultation process with the residents living adjacent to the proposed land to disclose information on the construction of the substation, and to address any issues or concerns of the residents over the construction of the substation. 47. Homagama 132/33 kV GSS. The proposed land for the construction of the substation will be part of a larger area to be acquired by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) of the Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Housing Facilities for a mega development project, namely the Western Region Tech City Development Project. The UDA will allocate 2.02 ha (5 acres) of land to CEB for the construction of the substation. The specific land earmarked by CEB for the substation is owned by one of the parties affected by land acquisition who would lose 8 acres of his rubber plantation due to acquisition. The portion of the land to be assigned to CEB contains approximately 400 rubber trees. The landowner claims that he has transferred his land rights to his two children while retaining his life-interest. While raising strong objections to land acquisition, the landowner has expressed his willingness to accept fair and full compensation for his land. At current market value, CEB has estimated the value of the 5-acre land to be SLRs240 million which included the value of rubber trees and their current and potential incomes. CEB will ensure that compensation due to the affected landowner is paid by UDA prior to the formal transfer of the land to CEB. Meanwhile, due to the proplonged delays in the land acquisition process, CEB requested the UDA to provide an alternate land plot for the substation located closer to the proposed transmission line which had been already acquired. UDA proposed a land already acquired and located closer to CEB’s load centre. CEB provided the layout drawing to UDA to get the approval of UDA. 48. Kalawana 132/33 kilovolts grid substation. CEB requires 1.42 ha (3.5 acres) of land for

20

the construction of the substation. The land identified for the substation is located in the Iddalmaldeniya village in the Kukulegama North GND of the Kalawana DSD in the Ratnapura district. There are no settlements in the vicinity of the land, and a few houses are located 250–300 m away from the identified land. None of these residential structures will be affected by the construction of the substation. The required land will be directly purchased by CEB from two landowners. The first landowner owns 4.0 ha (10 acres) of land in the same location, of which CEB will purchase 0.60 ha (1.5 acres). This land earmarked for purchase, is cultivated with rubber comprising approximately 100 medium-sized trees and another 125 small trees. However, tapping the rubber latex has not commenced yet, and hence the landowner does not receive any income from his plantation. In addition to rubber trees, there are 5 jackfruit trees and around 20 acacia trees grown on the same land. Neither the landowner nor his family members are economically dependent on this land. Apart from his 10-acre land, the landowner owns 4 acres of paddy land and 12.5 acres of highland elsewhere. The extent of land lost to the landowner will be approximately 15% of his total land of 4 ha. His unmarried two sons and the daughter are all employed and have their own independent incomes. There are no laborers or sharecropper’s dependent on this land. 49. The second landowner whose 1.61 ha (4 acres) of land located adjacent to the earlier mentioned land is a tea plantation. Apart from tea, there is a rambutan (fruit) tree and two timber trees (mara) on this land. CEB will purchase 0.80 ha (2 acres) of land from this second landowner. The 1.6 ha land generates an estimated annual income of SLRs1,200,000 to the landowner. He will lose 50% of his total land as well as half of the income generated by the total land once part of the land is sold to CEB. There are two laborer families who reside on this tea estate. The two families work part-time on this land, and also find additional labor work outside the estate. Land sale will not adversely affect these two families as their residential quarters are located in the remaining section of the land. Furthermore, the landowner will allow the two families to live continuously in their respective quarters, work in the remaining portion of his land, and find additional labor work in surrounding tea plantations. Thus, no adverse impacts on the incomes of the two labor families are anticipated. The landowner who lives in Colombo with his mother, wife and a 3-year-old child, runs a co-owned business enterprise, and derives a monthly income of SLRs40,000. His wife is a government employee. 50. Both landowners have given their written consent to sell their land to CEB. Negotiations on the land transaction between CEB and the two landowners have been completed, based on a property valuation report obtained from the Valuation Department. CEB’s Board has approved the purchase of the two land plots, and the approval from the Cabinet of Ministers has been sought (see Table 2.10). At current market value, CEB has estimated the value of this 3.5-acre land at SLRs16.8 million. 51. Negombo 132/33 kilovolts grid substation. The land earmarked for the construction of the substation is located in Negombo in the Gampaha district, total extent of which is approximately 5.67 ha (14 acres). CEB will purchase 2.53 ha (6.24 acres) of this land which is owned by a single owner. The landowner has given his written consent to sell the land to CEB. At current market value, CEB has estimated the value of this 6.24-acre land at SLRs150 million. Of this land, 2 acres remain almost vacant except for a few manioc bushes grown on the land. The Katunayake GSS–olawatta GSS/New Chilaw SS 132 kV double circuit transmission line traverses this part of the land. The balance 1.62 ha block is a coconut plantation comprising approximately 240 large trees and another 240 small trees. This 1.62 ha coconut plantation generates an annual income of SLRs720,000 to the landowner. However, the landowner is not entirely dependent on the incomes from this land. His other assets include 8 acres of residential land, and another 29 ha of coconut land, an owner-operated business company, several other commercial premises

rented out to business ventures, and a monthly income of around SLRs1,500,000. He lives with his wife, and the family of his married son. The son has his independent incomes and claims for a monthly income of SLRs800,000. 52. The sale of the 2.53 ha land to CEB requires the relocation of one laborer family occupying the labor quarters existing on this land. The family consists of the husband and wife who are paid SLRs1,100 each for a working day. The landowner has already built new quarters for the resettlement of this family in the remaining portion of the land, and they would be offered continuous work in rest of the coconut plantations owned by the landowner. Thus, no adverse impacts on the incomes of the labor family are anticipated. The landowner has consented to the Government valuation. The Procurement Committee of Project Division (DPC) of CEB approved the purchase and has been forwarded for CEB’s Board approval. 53. Tissamaharama 132/33 kilovolts grid substation. CEB purchased 0,69 ha (1.71 acres) of land from a single owner for the construction of the substation. The land located along the Tissa-Magama road has 33 coconut trees, 3 mango trees, a jakfruit tree and 10 other timber trees. There are no other crops cultivated on the land. The landowner receives an annual income of about SLRs36,000 from the sale of coconuts. The landowner is not entirely dependent on the incomes from this land since he has several other assets in Weligama where he, his wife and son live. They include 34 acres of paddy land, 30 acres of coconut land and 4 business premises. The unmarried son is a surveyor, who has his own income. CEB has obtained a valuation report from the Valuation Department which estimated the proposed land at SLRs6,700,000. The landowner consented to sell the land as per the valuation, and the land transaction has been completed. 54. Peliyagoda 132/33 kilovolts grid substation. CEB requires 0.25 ha (0.625 acres) of land for the construction of the substation. The land identified for the substation and located at Manelgama road, Kelaniya is vested in the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation (SLLDC). The land earmarked for the substation is a vacant marshy land, but it had been used by various outside parties to dump their solid waste. Adjacent to the identified land is a solid waste dumping ground and a waste management centre maintained by the Pradeshiya Sabha which is fenced-off and separated from the SLDDC land. There are no settlements in its surroundings. SLLDC has agreed to consider the release of the land to CEB subject to the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers and to carry out the required land-fillings and developments prior to handing over the site to CEB. At current market value, CEB has estimated the value of this land to be SLRs 100 million. A valuation report from the Government Valuer has been sought by CEB to proceed with the negotaitions for land transfer. 2.8 Underground Cabling Network of LECO 55. LECO has proposed to (i) construct an underground electricity distribution cable network in the Kelaniya region and the Nugegoda-Kotte region of the Colombo metropolitan region; (ii) 11 kV feeder reconfiguration in Kotte, Nugegoda, Kalutara and Moratuwa areas; and (iii) a NAS with SCADA. The latter two components involve only the modification of the existing lines, and therefore no resettlement impacts are anticipated. The surveyed length of the cable network proposed for Kelaniya region is 48.2 km. This cable network will pass through 3 DSDs and 35 GNDs. The DSDs are Wattala, Kelaniya and Mahara. The surveyed length of the proposed cable network for Nugegoda-Kotte area is 35.1 km and will pass through another 3 DSDs (Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Dehiwala and Maharagama) and 24 GNDs. The cables will be laid in trenches along the road shoulders, and the space required for digging and laying the cables is approximately 1.5–2 m.

57. This LECO component of the project does not require acquisition of land, and thus no physical or economic displacements are anticipated. No land will be acquired for the placement of packaged substations, pad mounted transformers, ring main units and other cable related switchgear, as all these items will be located on the shoulder spaces of the road. Further all the cables will be routed within the road space. In the event of any space restrictions related to the placement of the packaged substations, transformers will be placed on poles maintaining the status quo. In such event, the cables will be terminated at these overhead transformers. 58. Impacts are mainly construction related and will cause temporary impacts such as access difficulties and inconveniences to residents and commuters, generation of dust and noise, and accidental damages to other utility services such as water and telecommunication lines. However, LECO will adopt necessary measures to avoid or minimize any adverse impacts arising from construction work. Construction work related to laying of cables will be carried out at night to minimize inconvenience to the public. The digging of trenches for cables will be restricted to 400-meter-long sections per night, and they will be filled with soil immediately after laying the cables. Thick steel plates will be placed over sharp edges to avoid disturbance to traffic movements. Horizontal direct drilling will be used in areas where cables underpass railway crossings and major public roads, to avoid any disruptions to transport services. LECO will also hold consultations with other service providers such as the Road Development Authority, Sri Lanka Railways, Sri Lanka Transport Board, Western Province Passenger Transport Services Authority, National Water Supply and Drainage Board, Sri Lanka Telecom and other private telecom service providers, Department of Irrigation, CEB and other relevant local government authorities to plan the construction method that would avoid any possible disruptions to utility services provided by those agencies. Prior to the commencement of the construction work, formal agreements will be reached with the relevant service providers to immediately restore the utility services in the event of any accidental damages caused to utility services during construction work. 2.9 Resettlement Impacts and Mitigation 59.

60. The construction of transmission lines proposed under the project does not require land acquisition. Thus, it will not cause any permanent physical displacement of the people living within the corridors of the transmission lines. Also, the consultations conducted with potentially affected persons and households living within the ROW pointed to their strong objections to the project triggering any form of involuntary resettlement. Therefore, the project will ensure and adopt necessary measures to avoid any involuntary relocation and resettlement of the people. 61. The construction of transmission towers will absorb a land area of 3.39 ha for their tower bases, and this will be a permanent loss to the landowners. Though it is not possible to determine the number of households who would be affected by transmission towers as of now, the project will pay compensation to the affected parties for the loss of their land at market rates. Further, people will be allowed to cultivate the land underneath the towers. 62. During the construction of transmission lines, it is estimated that some of the households out of an estimated 359 households and 1,472 persons who are engaged in agricultural activities in an area of about 290.16 ha would be affected due to loss of crops and access restrictions to their cultivation fields. The project will endeavor to plan the construction work avoiding the peak periods of cultivations to minimize the losses to farmer populations. If unavoidable, cash compensation will be paid to the affected households taking into consideration the seasonal productivity of the land, loss of income, and the period for which the farmers are restrained from farming activities. 63. Although there are 100 residential structures and 4 other residential structures under construction, 10 commercial structures and 3 other commercial structures under construction, 5 CPR and 71 auxiliary structures within the ROW of the transmission lines, the project does not envisage any physical displacement of populations occupying those structures. The average height of these structures varies from 4 m to 5 m and hence they meet the vertical clearance requirements for transmission lines. People can continue to remain within the ROW while maintaining the clearance requirements. Moreover, during the stringing of conductors, scaffoldings will be fixed over the built structures to avoid any damages to those structures and risks of accidents. In the event of any partial or full damages to the built structures, the project will pay compensation at replacement cost for the full restoration of the affected structures. The resettlement budget provides compensation for an estimated 20% of the structures in the event of any likely construction related damages. 64. People expressed serious concerns over the transmission lines traversing their residential and commercial land as it could lead to the restricted use of the land and its devaluation. Moreover, they feared that their descendants would not be able to build their future homes on such land parcels and that transmission lines would cause risks and insecurities to the lives of people. In its final engineering designs, the project will avoid transmission lines traversing the residential dwellings, and the installation of towers closer to the settlements. The project will also pay compensation for the devaluation of any land as determined by the divisional secretary. The

25

divisional secretary who is empowered by the Electricity Act will determine compensation for land devaluation taking into account a number of factors such as: (i) land type; (ii) land size; (iii) prevailing market value of land; and (iv) type of vegetation in the affected land. Compensation for land devaluation will depend on the above factors. 65. Transmission lines will also cause removal of a significant number of timber and fruit-bearing trees grown within the ROW which account for 3,817 and 1,869, respectively. The project will pay compensation for the affected trees to their respective owners and will encourage re-planting programs in the remaining sections of the land. 66. Compensation for the land to be purchased for the substations will be based on negotiated settlement between the willing-buyer and the willing-seller but guided by property valuations by the Valuation Department. Compensation for the land to be acquired for Baddegama substation will be based on the valuation of the Valuation Department.

67. The vulnerable households affected by the transmission line component of the project include 35 women headed households with their respective household population of 122 persons; an elderly population of 36 persons who have reached the age of 70 years or above; 7 persons with disabilities; and 4 households comprising 14 members living below the poverty line. The official poverty line (OPL) in Sri Lanka for 2016 was SLRs4,166 (2016) per person per month.18 Persons who receive monthly incomes below the rate of OPL are considered the poor population. Among those 4 poor households are a woman headed household, and 4 family members who are over and above 70 years old. There are no persons with disabilities among poor households. Neither there are poor nor vulnerable households among the persons affected by the procurement of land for the substations. The project will provide special allowances and livelihood support assistance for vulnerable households living below the poverty line and affected by transmission lines.

3. SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE 68. The project and its subcomponents cover a wide geographical area and spread over ten administrative districts in five Provinces as shown in Figure 1. They are Anuradhapura district in the North-central province, Puttalam and Kurunegala districts in the North-western province, Gampaha, Colombo and Kalutara districts in the Western province, Ratnapura district in the Sabaragamuwa province, and Galle, Matara and Hambantota districts in the Southern province. This geographical spread cuts-across not only the different climatological regions, namely dry, wet, and arid zones but it also represents distinct socio-cultural variations. 69. This chapter presents the results of the census and socioeconomic household survey conducted with 178 households living within the ROW of six transmission lines who will be potentially affected by the impacts of transmission lines on their land, structures, and common property resources. The surveys for three transmission lines were conducted in December 2018 covering a total population of 76 households. The surveys for the rest of the three transmission lines were conducted in August 2019 which covered another 102 households. 70. The 178 households, however, do not include all the potentially affected households who either owned land or structures within the ROW. The households that were covered in the census only included those who were physically present within the boundaries of the ROW or in its immediate vicinity at the time of the census. There had been a variety of reasons for the non-enumeration of all affected households: (i) some households lived far away from the ROW though they had their full or partial properties within the ROW; (ii) some of the built structures used for either residential or business purposes remained closed at the time of the census, and their owners could not be traced; and (iii) some of the residential and commercial structures had been occupied by their tenants who did not have the adequate knowledge to respond to the census questionnaire. 3.1 Demographic Characteristics 71. The total population of the 178 households accounted for 731. The average household size is 4.1. The female population exceeds their male counterparts with 51% and 49% respectively. Children below the age of 6 years represent 8% of the population. Both children and adolescents in the age group of 6 to 15 years constitute 15%. Young adults between 16–30 years comprise 23% of the population. The adult population of 31–70 years comprises 49% while the population above 70 years represents 5%. The married population is 54% against an unmarried population of 40%. Persons who are widowed and divorced from their spouses represent 6%. Female heads of households are 35 (20%) whereas the remaining 143 are male headed households. Household composition comprises 112 nuclear families (63%) and 66 extended families (37%). Sinhalese are the predominant ethnic community with 91% followed by 9% of Muslims. 3.2 Education 72. Analysis of educational achievements of the population above 6 years of age suggests that except for 1% who had never been to a school, the rest had accessed formal education at varying levels. The educational achievements of the female population are slightly higher at least in the upper levels of education. However, the women rank high among the population that never attended a school. Around 16% had less than 5 years of schooling. Another one fourth (26%) have pursued education for 6–10 years. The population that attained the General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level (GCE OL) and the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE AL) is 35% and 19% respectively. The university graduates constitute 3% (Table 3.1).

3.3 Housing Infrastructure 73. Of the 178 affected households covered in the surveys, 82 households (46%) reported having a built structure within the ROW. The rest 54% had only the land falling under the ROW. Of the 82 households, 40 households (49%) had the main structures within the ROW whereas another 32 households (39%) had both main and auxiliary structures. The rest 10 households (12%) had only the auxiliary structures within the ROW. Of the 72 households that claimed having main structures within the ROW, 60 of them owned a single structure whereas 12 other households had 2 main structures for each of them, bringing the total number of main structures to 84. Except for 2 structures which are semi-permanent, the rest of the 82 structures are permanent. 74. The main structures have been primarily used for residential purposes. Of the 72 households, 59 (82%) exclusively used their main structures for residential purposes whereas 3 others (4%) used their structures only for commercial activities. Another 9 (13%) used their structures for a combination of purposes which included residential, commercial, and renting/leasing purposes. One of the structures remained unused. Four households had rented their structures to outside parties and generated an average annual rental income of SLRs 95,600 per household. 75. Among the households who had auxiliary structures, 14 households claimed having a single auxiliary structure, whereas another 23 households had 2 structures for each. Five households had more than 2 auxiliary structures. The total number of auxiliary structures were counted as 71 which included 30 toilets, 23 toilet slabs, 7 drinking water wells, 3 cattle sheds, 2 paddy storerooms, 2 other storerooms, a poultry pen, a kitchen, a garage, and a discarded metal storage yard. 76. An overwhelming majority, (94%) claimed singular ownership to the house they live in which belonged to the head of the household. Another 3% lived in houses that belonged to their spouses. Households that live in a house belonging to their parents or children are 3%. 3.4 Household Amenities 77. Households are not dependent on a single source of water for their domestic purposes and collect water from multiple sources. A private well is available for 39% of households of whom 55% is exclusively dependent on water from these domestic wells. Another 35% of households access water from the water supplies provided by the government’s National Water Supply and

28

Drainage Board (NWS&DB). Community based water supply schemes are the source of water for another 12% of the households. The rest accesses water from multiple sources. They include domestic wells, pipe-borne water provided by NWS&DB, community water supply schemes and common wells and tanks. Electricity is available for 97% of households. The remaining 3% are not connected to electricity. Of them, 2% use kerosene and 1% use solar power for household lighting. Individual toilets are available for 96% of households. Of them, 81% have water sealed toilets followed by another 4% who use flush toilets with commodes. Both water sealed and flush commode toilets are available for 15% of households. The 4% of households who do not have a private toilet share their neighbors’ toilets. 3.5 Household Assets 78. Among the movable assets owned by the households are motorcycles in 61%, push bicycles in 21%, three-wheelers in 13%, a car or a van in 10%, and tractors in 7% of the households. Water pumping machines operated with kerosene/diesel and mainly used for irrigation purposes are available in 21% households. Mobile phones and fixed landline telephones are available for 88% and 13% households, respectively. 3.6 Land Ownership 79. The total extents of land owned by the 178 households are distributed as follows: 41% of the households own less than 1 acre; 30% between 1-2 acres; 12% between 2–3 acres and 17% with more than 3 acres. The land comprises residential land, paddy land, highlands, and commercial land. Of the total land, the extent of land that fell within the ROW is less than 50 perches (0.3 acres) for 160 households (90%), 50–100 perches (0.3–0.6 acres) for 12 households (7%), and more than 100 perches (0.6 acres) for 6 households (3%). Land within the RIW has been used for multiple purposes. The majority 65% use their land for residential, home gardening and agricultural purposes. Another 24% exclusively use their land for agricultural activities. The commercial activities are run by 2% while another 3% use it for both residential and commercial purposes. The land belonging to rest 6% remain uncultivated and/or covered with shrubs. 80. Of the 178 households, 169 reported owning land other than their land located within the ROW. A total of 9 households do not have any other land except for the land that they occupy within the ROW. Of the 169 households, 43% own less than an acre. Another 33% have land between 1–2 acres. Land with extents of 2–3 acres is owned by 7%. The rest 17% has land exceeding 3 acres. The other land belonging to the majority 92% is located in the same village either as an extension to their land in the ROW or else a few meters away from the ROW. Meanwhile, 8% of the households have land within the same village as well as in another village. The type of ‘other land’ owned by households includes residential land, paddy land, highlands, and commercial lands. Individual households would own a combination of different types of land as shown in Table 3.2.

81. The land has been occupied by 86% of the households for more than 10 years. The period of occupancy by another 8% varies between 5–10 years. It is only 6% who have settled in the recent past of 2–5 years. The majority 85% claimed singular ownership to the land that they occupy while 12% are co-owners. Title deeds are available for 75% of the households whereas 17% either have permits issued by the government or a lease agreement. Only 8% do not have any documentary evidence in support of their ownership to the land. 3.7 Livelihoods 82. Households in the subproject affected areas are not only dependent on multiple sources of livelihoods but also the number of income owners in a household. The majority of the households (62%) have only a single earning member. The households that have 2 and 3 earning members represent 28% and 6% respectively. However, 4% of households do not have any earning members. The total workforce among the 178 households is estimated at 375 comprising 291 males and 84 females. Women’s participation in the labor force is comparatively high in agricultural activities, self-employment, foreign employment, and government and private sector employment. Table 3.3 presents the livelihood activities engaged in by the labor force.

3.8 Household Income and Expenditure 83. The average monthly incomes of 61% of households range from SLRs20,000 to SLRs60,000 comprising 32% between SLRs20,000 to SLRs40,000, and 29% between SLRs40,000 to SLRs60,000. Another 28% have monthly incomes exceeding SLRs60,000. Households receiving monthly incomes between SLRs10,000 to SLRs20,000 represent 7% whereas those below the monthly incomes of SLRs10,000 are 4%. The average monthly income of a household is estimated at SLRs42,470.79 with an average monthly household per capita

30

income of SLRs10,341.72. Both the monthly average household income and the per capita income are far below their national averages of SLRs62,237 and SLRs16,377 respectively (2016).19 Low household incomes are largely due to seasonal cultivations, scarcity of water, price fluctuations for agricultural produce, lack of competitive markets and destruction of cultivations by wild elephants. 84. The analysis of monthly household expenditures on food and drinks points to that the majority 64% spends SLRs10,000 to SLRs20,000; 19% between SLRs20,000 to SLRs30,000 and 4% who exceed SLRs30,000. Expenditures below SLRs10,000 are reported by 13% of households. 85. The average monthly household expenditures on electricity, water, gas and telecommunication is SLRs4,872.31. The majority 53% spend less than SLRs4,000 while 25% spend SLRs4,000 to SLRs6,000 on these utility services. Another 12% spend SLRs6,000 to SLRs8,000. The monthly expenditures of 10% on their utility services exceed SLRs8,000. 86. The monthly household expenditures on children’s education, healthcare, clothing, entertainment, and transport point to the following: 26% households spend less than SLRs5,000; 52% between SLRs5,000 to SLRs10,000; 13% between SLRs10,000 to SLRs15,000; and 8% more than SLRs15,000. The average monthly household expenditure on these household needs is estimated at SLRs9,309.66. 87. The average monthly household expenditure on food and drinks is estimated at SLRs18,450.85 which is marginally below the 2016 national average of SLRs19,114. The average monthly non-food household expenditure is estimated at SLRs14,181.97 which is far below the national figure of SLRs35,885. Overall, the total average monthly household expenditure stands at SLRs32,632.82 with an average per capita expenditure of SLRs7, 888,78. These figures significantly contrast their 2016 national figures of SLRs54,999 and SLRs14,473. 3.9 Poverty and Vulnerability 88. The vulnerable households affected by the transmission line component of the project include 35 women headed households with their respective household population of 122 persons; an elderly population of 36 persons who have reached the age of 70 years or above; 7 persons with disabilities; and 4 households comprising 14 members living below the poverty line. The official poverty line in Sri Lanka in 2016 is SLRs 4,166 (2016) per person per month (footnote 16). Among those 4 poor households are a woman headed household and 4 family members who are over and above 70 years old. There are no persons with disabilities among poor households. Neither there are poor orvulnerable households among the persons affected by the acquisition of land for the substations. 3.10 Pro-Poor Support Programs 89. The government’s Samurdhi assistance program intended for those living below the official poverty line has benefitted almost one-fourth (26%) of the 178 households. This shows that the program has included non-poor households as well pointing to its targeting issues. The program provides cash assistance for poor households to buy their essential food items for family consumption. Accordingly, families with 4 or more members are provided with a monthly allowance of SLRs3,500 while families with 3 members are given SLRs2,500 a month. The monthly cash allowance for families with less than 3 members is SLRs1,500. Public assistance

program of the Ministry of Social Empowerment and Social Welfare which provides for monthly cash allowances of SLRs2,000 for each poor elderly person over and above 70 years of age is accessed by 4% of households. Similarly, another 4% of households are the beneficiaries of the monthly cash allowance of SLRs5,000 granted by the Ministry of Social Empowerment and Social Welfare for persons with disabilities. 3.11 Indebtedness 90. Loans have been obtained by 85 (48%) households during the past 12 months. The source of loans for the majority of households (73%) was a state or private bank followed by 20 % from micro-financing companies or nongovernmental organizations. The remaining 7% had obtained their loans from other sources such as their family members or private moneylenders. The loans have been accessed by 59% to build a house; 22% to invest in agricultural activities; 8% for family consumption needs; and 4% each for business activities, family emergencies and a variety of other purposes. The loans taken by 9% of the households had been repaid while the rest 91% has been able to repay the loans partially. 3.12 Unemployment 91. The number of persons unemployed is relatively low, representing only 5% of the total household population. Of them, 55% are females. Limited capacity of formal employment in the project affected areas to absorb the educated youth is one of the reasons for unemployment. Most of them, however, are engaged in a variety of seasonal and casual economic activities such as in agricultural activities, self-employment, and daily paid labor work. Women are mostly housewives, but they are actively engaged in the agricultural activities conducted by the family. 3.13 Medical and Health Services 92. No major chronic illnesses are reported from the subproject affected areas. People approach multiple institutions for medical care and treatment. District hospitals, base hospitals, divisional hospitals, and primary medical care units are accessed by people for medical and health care services. Divisional hospitals and Primary Medical Care Units (PMCU) are the closest medical facility available to rural communities. Most of the divisional hospitals provide both in-patient and out-patient treatment facilities. In PMCUs, only out-patient treatment is provided by a single physician with the assistance of a few attendants or health service attendants. Medicine is available in sufficient quantities. Moreover, both divisional hospitals and PMCUs also conduct a number of clinics on different days of the week which includes general clinics as well as clinics for specific ailments, and clinics for mothers and children. The patients who cannot be treated in divisional hospitals are transferred to either district hospitals or base hospitals. In emergencies, the ambulance services operated from divisional hospitals as well as the most recent Suwasariya public ambulance service are able to transfer the patients to their designated hospitals faster and securely. Government hospitals, private medical practitioners and pharmacies are the institutions frequently accessed by 61% of the households for medical treatment. Both government and private hospitals have been approached by another 19%. Meanwhile, 16% is exclusively dependent on government hospitals for treatment whereas another 4% only on private medical practitioners. The public health midwives assigned for each GND not only conduct monthly clinics for pregnant and lactating mothers and their children but also undertake regular home visits. 3.14 Energy Use 93. Electricity is the main source of lighting for 97% of grid connected households. The non-connected 3% of all households use kerosene (2%) and solar power (1%) for household lighting. Households use multiple and combined energy sources for other domestic purposes. A

32

combination of electricity, liquefied petroleum gas and firewood is used by 54% of households for cooking and boiling purposes. Electricity and firewood are used for non-lighting purposes by 28% whereas another 8% use electricity and liquefied petroleum gas for the same purpose. Households that use only firewood are 7%. The rest 2% use a combination of other energy sources such as electricity, solar, dry batteries, gas, and firewood for non-lighting purposes. Kerosene is not used in any of the households for cooking and boiling purposes. 94. The electrified households, apart from household lighting, use electricity for a variety of other purposes. Televisions and radios are operated in 93% and 84% households, respectively. Refrigerators are available for 58%. Other domestic electric appliances used by households include electric irons (87%), rice cookers (77%), ceiling or pedestal fans (72%), and washing machines (16%). A variety of other electricity operated kitchen appliances are available in 49% of households. Electricity operated water motors are used by 12%. Moreover, 88% of households own mobile phones, and all of them use electricity for phone charging. 95. Households did not experience major issues with electricity provided for their domestic use except for reported long delays by CEB to restore the power breakdowns in the Kalawana area. 3.15 Role of Women and Gender Issues 96. Women in the project affected areas are engaged in multiple activities. Apart from their household roles such as cooking, cleaning, fetching water, feeding children, and helping in children’s studies, women across the project areas also make a significant contribution to the household economy. Women take a lead role in agricultural activities by assisting their husbands during cultivation and harvesting seasons. When households have more than one cultivation field, men and women would share their work. Some women would even spend their nights in watch huts built on top of the trees to prevent their cultivations from being destroyed by wild elephants. Women would also engage in livestock farming and take care of the feeding of their cattle and poultry. Home gardening is another important economic activity of women, produce of which is used for both household consumption and marketing. Women would carry the produce from their home gardens such as vegetables and fruits to the roadside and sell them to the commuters. Other forms of economic activities conducted by women include labor work, dressmaking, handicraft-making, employment in apparel industries, etc. Educated women are employed in both government and private sector jobs. Women’s earnings are mainly used for children’s education and clothing, to supplement the households’ consumption needs, and to repay the past debts. Some women would also save some money to be used in emergencies or for their children’s future. Women also participate in the activities of community-based organizations and microcredit programs operated by Samurdhi societies to access loans which they would invest in agricultural activities, to build houses or to buy household furniture or electric appliances. 97. The women engaged in labor work in project affected areas are rather low. This may be because they spend more time in their family farms and in their reproductive roles. Women in daily paid labor work are paid less compared to their male counterparts. For example, when a man is paid SLRs1,200 a day, a woman would get only SLRs800. Sometimes men are provided meals by their employers whereas women are not. The work performed by men is considered hard while women are reportedly assigned for less hard work. Also, women are allowed to leave their workplaces earlier than their counterpart men. 98. There are no major restrictions on women to pursue their education or to develop their technical and professional skills. Families would place equal importance on the education of both

33

male and female children. There are no restrictions on women’s mobility either and for them to engage in the employment of their choice. Household level decision-making in most situations is jointly taken by both wife and husband having consulted each other. Women also perform a significant role in managing household assets despite the key immovable assets like land and house are owned by men. 99. During consultations, women expressed concerns over their personal and family safety and the loss of their standing trees, livelihoods, and incomes due to the installation of transmission lines and towers closer to their residential dwellings and homesteads. Further, they feared outside parties coming for construction work and them engaging in drug abuse and sexual harassment of women and children. Women also cautioned that the project should not cause any displacement of people or restrictions on the use of their land. They did not want the project to prevent their descendants from building their houses on the family land. The project will address these concerns of women by avoiding physical displacements and helping them to continue to live in their land while engaging in their routine activities. Adequate measures will also be taken to ensure the safety of women and their family members both during and after project construction. The project will also pay compensation for any economic losses to the households. The project will encourage women headed households and other vulnerable households or their family members20 to participate in a tree planting program to be launched by the project which would also generate supplementary incomes for their households (see chapter 8 for details of this program). Women headed and vulnerable households living below the poverty line will also receive additional cash allowances to re-establish their livelihoods. Consultations with women will continue throughout the project lifecycle. 3.16 Awareness and Prevention of Transmitted Diseases 100. Sexually transmistted diseases. People in the subproject impact areas, both men and women, have a reasonable knowledge on sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. They are aware of the root causes of HIV, how the disease is communicated and the preventive measures that people should adopt to avoid the spread of HIV. People have acquired such awareness mainly through the awareness raising programs conducted by the village level public health midwife for which the participation of both spouses is mandatory. People have also participated in other health awareness raising programs conducted by district/divisional medical officers of health and the public health inspectors where information on sexually transmitted diseases has been disseminated. Further, people have also gained knowledge through media such as television and newspapers. 101. At consultations, people expressed concerns over the influx of migrant laborers for the project’s construction work and their possible engagement in drugs and sexual abuse of women and children. They thought that such instances can cause the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Addressing this concern, both CEB and the contractors will ensure that awareness raising programs on sexually transmitted diseases are conducted for all local and migrant laborers as well as local communities prior to the commencement of civil works. It will be also a mandatory requirement on the part of contractors to enforce a strict code of conduct for their labor teams. 102. Coronavirus disease. Sri Lanka was affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic since early 2020 and was triggered partly by infections from overseas. As of 3 June 2020, a total of 1683 confirmed cases were reported. Of them 562 cases (33.4%) were

incapacitated.

34

identified as imported cases, brought into the country either by foreigners (3) or Sri Lankans (559) returning to the country from overseas destinations. Another 808 cases (48% of the total) were among navy soldiers engaged in contract tracing and quarantine operations and their family members. The balance 313 cases (18.6% of the total) were in the community at large.21 This situation changed significantly since the second wave of the pandemic in early October 2020 and the current situation stands at a cumulative figure of 89,846 confirmed cases, and 545 deaths (21 March 2021). Of the confirmed cases, 86,759 had recovered and another 2,542 are under medical care. 22 Government of Sri Lanka has adopted several stringent measures in the country for containing the disease, including curfew, lock-down of affected clusters, travel restrictions, quarantine of all travellers from overseas and all suspected persons in Sri Lanka and their immediate contacts, social distancing and respiratory hygiene practices introduced in workplaces and all public places. 103. As explained in the beginning of this chapter, the project spread over 10 districts in Sri Lanka. Of them, 8 districts contained areas that are of low risk as well as areas that never reported any incidence of affected cases. However, cases had been reported from the quarantine centres established in the two of those districts (Puttalam and Kalutara). The remaining two districts, namely Colombo and Gampaha include a mix of areas that are high risk, low risk, areas that did not report any cases, and cases reported from quarantine centres.23 The government has issued several guidelines to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. They include (i) Operational Guidelines on Preparedness and Response for COVID-19 Outbreak for Work Settings, Interim Guidance 17 April 2020;24 (ii) Addendum to Interim Operational Guidelines on Preparedness and Response for COVID-19 Outbreak for Work Settings, Building and Construction Industry 21.4.2020,25 both issued by the Ministry of Health and Indigenous Medical Services; (iii) Health and Safety Guidelines for Sri Lankan Construction Sites to be adopted during COVID-19 Outbreak, 29 April 2020 released by the Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply & Housing Facilities;26 and (iv) most recently (May 2020) issued guidelines by the Ministry of Health and Indigenous Medical Services with the gradual re-opening of the country titled “Towards A New Normal”–Annex IIA–Instruction for Selected Public Activities/Work Settings for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19.27 104. These guidelines provide guidance for the prevention and control of the virus in workplaces as well as in construction sites. They specifically provide health and safety measures for (i) maintaining physical distancing in work places and construction sites; (ii) cleaning and disinfection requirements; (iii) providing adequate and accessible facilities for workers including personal protective equipment (PPE), hand sanitization and hand washing; (iv) employment of labor teams; (v) managing employee and worker movements and contacts; and (vi) managing the influx of outsiders to the work places and construction sites and reporting the identified cases to the health authorities. Both CEB and LECO will ensure that the health guidelines of the government are strictly applied and complied with in their respective PMUs, PIUs, and the

contractors. 3.17 Indigenous Peoples 105. There are no indigenous people settlements in the affected area of the project. Therefore, no permanent or temporary and direct or indirect impacts on indigenous peoples’ communities are anticipated.

36

4. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION 4.1 Consultations 106. Public consultations were carried out with groups of men and women and their community-based organizations in the areas potentially to be affected by transmission line subprojects for the purpose of disclosing information about the proposed subprojects and eliciting their views and concerns. The persons to be affected by land acquisitions were also consulted during project preparation. In addition to community level consultations, interviews were also conducted with key informants such as school principals and village level administrators and specifically the grama niladharis (see Tables 4.2 and 4.3 for summary outcomes of consultations and Annex 32 for detailed report). The feedback received from consultations will be used by the project executing agency to carryout necessary revisions to the technical designs in order to minimize the resettlement impacts. Furthermore, consultation outcomes were also helpful in identifying the key issues and concerns of the local communities on the potential impacts of the project on their personal safety, economic and social assets, especially on land and livelihoods, assessing the level of compensation anticipated by the affected persons, and establishing appropriate safeguards measures such as grievance redress and monitoring procedures and the preparation of the entitlement matrix in the resettlement plan. Consultations with women also led to identifying the special safeguard measures that need to be adopted to secure the rights of women and children during project construction and operation. 107. Community level public consultations were conducted in 18 locations in the different project affected areas in the months of December 2018 and January 2019, and thereafter in August 2019 as part of the preparation processes for the project and draft resettlement plan. Consultations were conducted for five major transmission line subprojects. Except for the Homagama GSS single LILO from Horana GSS–Padukka SS 132 kV double circuit transmission line which would go over settlements and plantations, consultations were not conducted for rest of the LILO lines proposed under the project as they traverse paddy fields avoiding settlements and resettlement impacts. Meanwhile, Peliyagoda GSS single LILO from Kelaniya GSS–Kotugoda GSS 132 kV double circuit transmission line is an underground cabling subproject which will cause minimum resettlement impacts. Consultations conducted for the substations were mainly confined to the private landowners. Public consultations were not required as the land chosen for substations were mostly the tea, coconut and rubber plantations situated outside the settlements and free of encumbrances. Due diligence, however noted the presence of some residential dwellings in the adjacent lands of Baddegama substation land. Though these residential dwellings will not be affected by the construction of substation, CEB will organize few rounds of consultations with those residents to disclose information about the subprojects and to address any of their issues and concerns. LECO will also conduct a consultation and information dissemination campaign using a variety of media such as display posters and banners and handouts to inform the residents and businessmen living besides the ROW as well as the commuters on the proposed construction work of the underground cabling and its potential impacts. This campaign will commence one month prior to the construction work. 108. Participants at consultations included persons to be potentially affected by the use of their land for transmission line corridors, owners/claimants of the lands to be acquired or purchased for substations, vulnerable groups and the representatives of community-based organizations. Participants at these consultations altogether comprised 132 community members who included 71 men and 61 women. Furthermore, separate consultations were conducted in 9 locations exclusively with women groups to specifically discuss their gender perspectives on the proposed project and its impacts. These women’s consultations were attended by 52 women. The locations and the number of participants in public and women’s consultations are summarized in Table 4.1

109. During consultations, both men and women equally recognized the national importance of developing the electricity sector to meet the escalating demand for electricity, for the development of the industrial and commercial sectors of the country, and for the generation of employment. Overall, people did not observe any resistance to the project given its national significance for the country’s development. People also wanted to support this project since it is a government led project. People who lived on government land either on permits issued by the government or encroached land were of the view that the government has the right to use the state land for development projects. Yet, a few others thought that the government will move ahead with the implementation of the project despite any objections raised by the people. 110. Communities however did express concerns over the potential loss of their land, trees and

38

crops and the adverse consequences that such losses can have on their livelihoods and incomes. They emphasized that the project follows adequate measures to avoid/minimize any adverse impacts on their private properties, residential dwellings, public infrastructure, livelihoods, environment and personal health and security. Further, they highlighted that the project should avoid any physical displacements of the people and their relocation and resettlement as the relocation would adversely affect their livelihoods. 111. If subprojects caused any adverse impacts on individual properties, valuable tree species and cultivations, people requested that such losses irrespective of whether they are permanent or temporary should be compensated adequately and timely. Consultations also highlighted that compensation for any of their losses should be paid over at a higher rate, irrespective of the title that they would hold to their properties, and prior to the commencement of construction work. Compensation for land devaluation causing from the installation of transmission towers and lines traversing their private properties was another concern of the participants at the consultations. At consultations, the project ensured to avoid or minimize resettlement impacts by exploring alternatives, avoid physical displacements, and to pay compensation for the loss of trees, crops and incomes including compensation for land lost for transmission tower bases and the devaluation of their properties. 112. Issues discussed mainly evolved around perceived and potential impacts of the project, and especially on issues related to land devaluation, restricted use of land, livelihoods and incomes, personal safety, influx of labor for construction work, and payment of compensation, grievance redress, and project benefits.

Table 4.2 - Community Consultations - Key Issues Raised during Resettlement Plan Drafting

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response Land Acquisition 1 Would our land be acquired for the project? CEB will not acquire any land for construction

of transmission lines. However, land will be purchased/acquired for the construction of new substations.

Displacements 2 Would the project cause displacements from

our residential dwellings? We do not own any other land. Also, our livelihoods are tied with our habitats.

The project will not cause any population displacements. People can continue to live in their present habitats and engage in their livelihoods. They can also build houses under the line provided they maintain the minimum clearance which is 4.6 m.

3 We do not object lines traversing the paddy fields, but we strongly object lines erected over our houses and homesteads.

The project will try to avoid lines being erected over the houses and other built structures. Owners can inform their future plans to build houses and the project will try to design the line in such a way that required clearances are maintained.

39

Loss of Livelihoods and Incomes 4 We grow vegetables, lemon, banana, betel,

wood apple, orange etc. in our home gardens. It brings a good income, and especially helps women to meet their household needs. CEB does not allow us to plant anything within the right-of-way. If CEB continues to apply the same rule, we will not only lose our land but also our incomes.

People can grow crops and trees within the RoW or even under the tower bases. However, the trees that they plant should be less than 5 m in height. CEB will ensure and monitor that its contractors assigned for way-leave clearance comply with these standards and do not damage the crops and trees that are less than 5 m in height.

5 People should be informed of the dates of the commencement of construction work at least 6 months in advance. Then farmers can avoid cultivations during that period or reduce their cultivations.

CEB will ensure that adequate notice is given to the public on the time frames for way-leaves clearance, and the dates of the commencement of the construction work.

6 Project should ensure minimum damages to trees of high commercial value such as coconut. If damaged, it would adversely affect people’s livelihoods.

The project will try to minimize impacts on perennial and commercially valuable trees such as coconut.

7 If our tea plantations are affected, we will raise objections. Many people such as tea growers and their dependents like laborers, traders etc. will suffer from the loss of livelihoods and incomes if tea plantations are destroyed.

The project will ensure least damages to tea plantations during construction and maintenance work.

Land Devaluation 8 Installation of electricity lines over lands will

cause their devaluation in the market. People are unable to sell such land at a higher price.

CEB will pay compensation for land devaluation as decided by the Divisional Secretary.

Compensation 9 Towers require substantial land. Would the

project pay compensation for the land used for towers?

Compensation will be paid for the land lost for tower bases, for trees that will be removed, and the crops that will be damaged during construction work.

10 Compensation should be paid irrespective of the title, for both the landowners and those who hold tenurial rights to the land.

All affected parties will be entitled to compensation irrespective of the title they hold on to the land.

Personal Safety 11 The existing line traverses very low. It is about

25 feet from ground (New Anuradhapura - New Habarana 132 kV line). We cannot even get on to our roofs for repairs. Children cannot fly a kite. Few people died due to electrocution. Would the new line be the same? We have fears on the safety of our lives.

The project will maintain required clearances and therefore, it will not cause any safety issues.

40

12 Would the incidence of lightening increase due to high voltage capacity? Would the cables and towers eject lightening? Would it affect our household electronic goods? Would the lines fall down during such lightening?

CEB uses proper earthing methods that prevent potential effects of lightening. Internationally accepted standards will be applied in the construction of lines and towers, so that the likelihood of lines falling down is remote.

13 Would the project cause any specific illnesses like cancer for people due to radioactive gases released from the lines?

There is no scientific link established between the electricity projects and illnesses.

14 When old lines are removed, will it affect the houses located below the line?

Contractors will install scaffoldings over the houses and other built structures during stringing conductors or in removing the existing conductors to prevent any accidental damages.

Influx of Labor Teams for Construction Work 15 During construction period, any possible

harmful acts on the part of contractor’s labor teams to the community members especially for women and children should be avoided.

CEB will ensure that their contractors maintain proper labor standards including their discipline. Contractors will introduce a code of conduct for their labor teams.

Project Benefits 16 If the members of our local communities can

find temporary employment during the construction work, it would help people to earn additional incomes.

CEB will request the contractors to recruit more local labor wherever possible without bringing labor teams from outside, and to give equal treatment for men, women and youth.

Grievance Redress 17

Would there be a place for us to complain in case we have problems during construction?

CEB will establish a grievance redress mechanism for people to report any grievances/complaints if they encountered any problems. The grievance redress mechanism will ensure that all reported grievances and complaints are addressed efficiently.

Table 4.3 - Consultations with Women’s Groups - Key Issues Raised during Resettlement

Plan Drafting No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

Land Acquisition

1 We do not like our land being acquired without our consent

Except for the construction of new substations, there will be no involuntary land acquisitions for transmission lines. When the construction work is over, people can use the land for the same purpose which it had been used but subject to few restrictions.

Displacements

41

2 Will the project cause displacements? The project does not anticipate any physical displacements of the people.

3 We have only small plots of land. We do not own any other land. We have to give this land to our children able to build their own houses and live securely. Because of the lines, they would not be able to build two-storied houses

There is no restriction to build houses provided the people maintain the minimum required clearance, which is 4.6 m.

Loss of Livelihoods and Incomes 4 Project should not damage our cinnamon,

tea, coconut, and paddy cultivations. Construction work should avoid cultivation periods.

The project will strive to minimize damages to crops, cultivations and trees. If unavoidable, all losses will be compensated. Also, will schedule the construction work during off-seasons wherever possible.

5 If rubber and coconut trees are removed, people dependent on them will permanently lose their incomes. Project should support restoration of such plantations in addition to compensation for lost trees.

In the assessment of compensation for affected rubber and coconut trees, time taken to re-establish the trees will also be taken into account. The environmental management plan of the project will include provisions for supporting the restoration of those plantations.

Land Devaluation 6 Our land values will decrease and may not be

able to sell. Would the project pay compensation for land over which the lines are erected?

Compensation for all land over which the transmission lines traverse cannot be paid. However, fair compensation for devaluation of land will be paid by the project as per the estimates of the Divisional Secretary.

Compensation 7 The project will cause removal of our trees.

Would the project pay compensation to us? Project will pay compensation for the affected trees. The Divisional Secretary will assess the value of the trees and the amount of compensation.

8 If the construction work damages our cultivations, we should be compensated. We are dependent on seasonal cultivations. And we cultivate by taking loans. If our cultivations were destroyed, we will not be able to repay the loans.

Compensation will be paid for affected crops and cultivations.

9 People will lose their land for towers. Fair compensation should be paid for land lost for towers

Compensation for the land used for the construction of towers will be paid.

Personal Safety 10 We fear that lines will fall on our houses. CEB uses internationally accepted standards

in the installation of the transmission lines. Therefore, the potential for lines to fall down or cause accidents is rather remote.

42

11 Will the project affect our electronic goods such as using satellite cables to watch TV?

It is unlikely that transmission lines to cause impacts on electronic goods.

12

Would the lines and towers trigger lightening and affect especially the houses located closer to towers?

It is unlikely. CEB adopts proper earthing methods to control lightening impacts on towers and lines.

13 If lines traverse houses, we will have to live in fear for the rest of our lives. Children may not be able to fly kites. Children may climb the towers and meet with accidents.

Wherever possible, the project will try to avoid lines traversing directly over houses and the installation of towers closer to settlements. Moreover, lines will not be installed over tall trees or closer to such trees. All tall trees above the height of 5 m will be removed prior to line installation.

14 We have no objection to lines traversing paddy fields or highlands. But if they go over the tall trees and houses, it will create safety issues.

15 People believe that those who live closer to lines and towers are more vulnerable to get cancer.

There is no scientific evidence on the impacts of electricity lines and towers on cancer.

Influx of Labor Teams 16 Perhaps we will have problems with

contractor’s labor teams. Will there be a place for us to make our complaints if we experienced any difficulties?

The project will establish a grievance redress mechanism (GRM), and contact details of which will be shared with the people. Aggrieved parties can report their complaints and grievances to the GRM

17 Contractors should be responsible to ensure that their labor teams do not create problems to the villagers.

Contractors are responsible to maintain labor standards including the discipline of the laborers. A code of conduct will be introduced to the laborers. Contractors will be requested to recruit local labor as much as possible so that establishing labor camps can be avoided. CEB will monitor the performance of the contractor as well as his labor teams.

18 There may be safety issues for children and women if outsiders come and work for long periods. Drug abuse may spread.

Project Benefits 19 If the project can provide employment for

local people in construction work, it will bring additional incomes for their families

Contractors will be requested to recruit local labor as much as possible, and to provide equal treatment for men, women, and youth.

43

Construction Related Issues 20 Construction contractors should use alternate

routes to transport their construction materials without damaging our properties and crops.

The project would look into the possibility of using alternate access roads to minimize crop damages. All safety measures will be adopted to avoid accidents. All safety measures including the proper disposal of construction debris and noise and dust control mechanisms will be included in the environmental management plan of the project which has to be implemented by the contractor. Damages to roads will be avoided. If any damages occurred, they will be restored by the contractor.

4.2 Information Disclosure 113. During the due diligence conducted for the project, information related to tentative directions of the line routes of the project, land requirements and acquisition procedures, potential impacts of the project, both positive and negative and direct and indirect, entitlement policies and frameworks for compensation for the affected parties and grievance redress procedures were shared with affected persons during consultations. The PMUs of the executing agencies will continue their communications with the affected persons and other stakeholders and disclose information such as the dates of final surveys and census of affected households, valuation procedures, project related impacts, specific entitlements of the affected persons, compensation procedures, grievance redress procedures and dates of the commencement of civil works. 114. Brochures and posters containing relevant information will be printed in Sinhala and Tamil languages and they will be distributed and made available/displayed at places easily accessible to affected persons and other interested parties prior to the project approval. A copy of the draft resettlement plan will be disclosed on ADB’s website as well as on the website of the executing agencies. A translation of the resettlement plan in Sinhala and Tamil languages will be made available for public scrutiny in places accessible to the stakeholders them. Once the draft resettlement plan was finalized with updated information, the same procedure of disclosure will be followed. Monitoring reports will also be disclosed on the ADB and borrower websites. 4.3 Continued Consultation and Participation 115. The PMUs of the executing agencies will direct their safeguards officers, project managers, and engineers to engage in continuous consultations with the affected persons to minimize/avoid adverse impacts of the project emanating from final engineering designs. For continued consultations, the following steps are envisaged from the PMUs:

• Organize and conduct periodic meetings with affected persons and other stakeholders to inform them the status of final engineering designs, project’s impacts and entitlements and payment of compensation to affected persons.

• In coordination with, engineers engage the affected persons and other stakeholders to review the final engineering designs, and entitlements and other benefits to affected

44

persons. • Conduct consultations with affected persons and other stakeholders to elicit their views

and suggestions to revise and to update the resettlement plan. • Share the final resettlement plan with the affected persons and other stakeholders. • Conduct awareness programs for affected persons and other stakeholders on the

availability of grievance redress mechanism and review its performance and outcomes • Hold periodic meetings with the affected persons and other stakeholders to review any

unanticipated or indirect consequences of the implementation of safeguard plans. • Organize public meetings and appraise the communities about the progress of project

implementation and the implementation of social safeguards such as payment of compensation and other assistance to be provided.

• A regular update of the progress of the resettlement component of the project is placed for public display at the offices of the PMUs, site engineer and the contractor.

• All monitoring reports of the resettlement components of the project are disclosed in the same manner as that of the resettlement plan.

• Conduct information dissemination sessions at major locations and solicits the help of the local community leaders to encourage the participation of the affected persons in resettlement plan implementation.

• Place special attention to assist the vulnerable groups to understand the process and to help them in getting the compensation and other assistance.

5. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 116. The impacts of the project may raise grievances and complaints on the part of affected persons. The clearance of standing trees and way-leaves within the ROW of the transmission lines can adversely affect the livelihoods and incomes of households; civil construction works can cause destructions to standing crops; stringing of transmission lines over private properties can lead to property devaluation and raise people’s concerns over their personal safety; and construction work of the project can also result in various inconveniences to the general public such as access difficulties, restrictions to public places, damages to privately owned built structures and common property resources, disturbances causing from noise and dust, and issues related to labour influx etc. 117. The legal framework of the country may not address all grievances effectively. Therefore, the project will establish a project-based grievance redress mechanism (GRM) which is easily accessible to the aggrieved parties, transparent and accountable in grievance handling and responding while winning the confidence of the complainants. A well-established and well-functioning GRM would be able to resolve the grievances locally and avoid lengthy court procedures and delays in project implementation. It will adopt a transparent and time-bound procedure in the grievance resolution process. 118. The project management units (PMU) of CEB and LECO will establish a clear set of procedures with specific time frames for grievance resolution at each level which will include procedures for receiving and recording grievances, screening and referrals, assessment of grievances, grievance resolution, reporting and monitoring. Further, PMUs will conduct awareness raising programs to inform the APs and the general public on the role and functions of the GRM, grievance reporting procedures, time frames for grievance resolution at each level, the operational locations of the GRM and the details of contact persons, addresses and telephone numbers at each level of the GRM. Brochures and leaflets printed in Sinhala and Tamil languages covering the above information will also be distributed. 119. The GRM will function throughout the life cycle of the project implementation, and both CEB and LECO will ensure its accessibility to affected parties, and transparency and efficiency in grievance resolution. However, it will not deal or interfere with any matters which are already placed before the country’s courts of law. The project will also provide orientation and training to the members of the GRM on effective grievance handling procedures. 5.1 The grievance redress mechanism of Ceylon Electricity Board. 120. Site level grievance redress mechanism. The lowest level of the GRM will be the construction site of each subproject. The project will assign a site engineer to each subproject. The persons affected by a subproject can report their grievances and complaints to the offices of the site engineers. Contact phone numbers, mails and names of the site engineers will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations. The grievances and complaints can be reported either verbally or in writing. At the site engineers’ offices, an electrical/civil superintendent will record the contact details of the complainant, submission date of the complaint, and the nature of the grievance/complaint. Any affected person who cannot access the site engineer’s office due to any access difficulties can forward his/her complaint via the Grama Niladharis of their respective villages. Complaints from female affected persosn will be attended by a female superintendent/female officer of the site engineers. The site engineers will forward the reported grievances/complaints to their respective project managers of the Project Implementation Units

46

(PIU). 28 The project managers in consultation with their site engineers, electrical and civil superintendents and the site engineers/managers of the construction contractor will hold an inquiry into the complaints/grievances and address the issues within a period not exceeding two weeks. If necessary, site inspection visits will be undertaken by the project managers together with their staff. The site engineers will keep the complainants informed of the progress made in respect of their grievances/complaints and the final outcome of the grievance resolution. Grievance redress outcomes including actions agreed and implemented will also be recorded at the project managers’ offices. 121. Project management unit level grievance redress mechanism. If the project managers are unable to resolve the grievance/complaint or else if the affected persosn is dissatisfied with the PIU level resolution, the grievance/complaint can be referred to the project director at the PMU. The Additional General Manager (Projects) of CEB will appoint a committee which will be responsible for grievance resolution. The committee will be chaired by project director while its membership includes the Divisional Secretary of the area from where the grievance/complaint originated; represenantives from the Ministry of Land and the Valuation Department; a representative from the Transmission Design and Environmental Unit of CEB; and the two social safeguards officers and the environmental safeguards officer of PMU.

122. The PMU level grievance committee can convene the affected person/s to explain his/her grievance at its meetings. The complainant can also send his/her nominee to the committee if he/she is unable to physically participate in the meeting. During the committee deliberations, project director and the committee will clarify the issues involved and would try to reach a settlement acceptable to both the affected person and the project within a period of three weeks. If an agreement or resolution is reached, the key points of the agreement/resolution will be summarized, documented, and signed by both the affected person and the members of the committee. One of the safeguards officers of PMU will assist in the documentation and record keeping, summaries of which will also be reported to ADB through monitoring reports. The office of the project director is located at 2nd Floor, 65/1, GOBA Building, Sir Chittampalam A. Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 2. 123. The grievance redress mechanism of Lanka Electricity Company (Private) Limited. Similar to the GRM of CEB, LECO will also establish a two-tier GRM for problem-solving and grievance redress. Any parties affected by the LECO component of the project can report their grievances/complaints to the LECO customer branch offices located in the project implementing areas - Kelaniya, Nugegoda and Kotte. The focal points to receive, register and resolve grievances will be the LECO branch engineer and/or the branch manager. Or else, complainants can also report their grievances to the customer service manager of LECO operating from the LECO head office or the project’s environmental and social safeguards officer who will be placed at project’s PMU. Both the customer service manager and the environmental and social safeguards officer will register the complaints that they receive and forward them to the branch engineer and/or the branch manager for resolution. The branch engineer and the manager will hold inquiries into the grievances and compliants received and will try to resolve them within a period of two weeks from the date of receiving the complaint. If the issue cannot be resolved at the branch level, it will be forwarded to the project director of the PMU. The project director in consultation with project’s supervision consultant, the environmental and social safeguards officer of the PMU and the LECO management will address the complaint forwarded to him within a period of three weeks. If complaints/grievances cannot be resolved within the stipulated time

28 CEB will establish four Project Implementation Units (PIU), each led by a project manager which will be responsible

for different subcomponents of the project.

47

frames due to complexity of the issues, the GRM will have a mutually agreed time frame to resolve the issue. 124. In parallel to the site level and PMU level GRMs established by CEB and LECO, aggrieved parties can also submit their grievances to the divisional secretary of the respective subproject area. The divisional secretary is delegated with the powers of the PUCSL and empowered to address the complaints and grievances of the affected persons and the utility companies. 29 Grievances and complaints particularly with regard to issues of severances and disturbances to private properties causing from electricity projects and compensation for lost/affected assets can be brought to the notice of the divisional secretary. If any aggrieved parties have access difficulties to the divisional secretary, they can yet forward their complaints via the Grama Niladharis of their respective villages. The divisional secretary will hold an inquiry into the complaints/grievances reported to him with the participation of the relevant project managers and the site engineers of the subproject and the project engineers of the contractors to find an amicable settlement to the issue. If required, divisional secretary will also consult the relevant project director. This process will be completed within a period not exceeding two weeks since the submission of the complaint/grievance by the affected persons. 125. These project-based grievance redress mechanisms, however, will not impede the opportunities that affected persons have to resort to country’s legal system if they were dissatisfied with the redress at any stage of the process. The affected persosn have the right to refer their grievances to appropriate courts of law at any time. They can also submit their grievances to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism, which has both a problem-solving function to respond to concerns of project affected people and a compliance review function where there is discrepancy with implementation of ADB’s operational policies. 126. Apart from the above described three levels of GRM, contractors will also establish a GRM at site level which will exclusively address the issues and grievances of the labour teams. However, whenever necessary, the aggrieved labourers also have the choice of approaching the project based GRM.

6. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

127. As discussed in Chapter 2, the land required for the construction of transmission lines and towers will not be acquired by CEB. However, CEB will pay compensation for the land permanently lost for the transmission tower bases as well as for the permanent loss of standing trees to be removed along the RoW of the transmission lines as determined by the divisional secretary who is empowered by the Sri Lanka Electricity (Amendment) Act, No. 31 of 2013 to decide on the due compensation. Further, compensation will also be paid by CEB for land devaluation due to transmission lines and towers, and temporary damages to crops and structures during project construction work per the valuation by the divisional secretary. Meanwhile, land required for the construction of substations will be obtained by CEB through the use of three different strategies. The first strategy is the direct purchase through negotiated settlement based on willing seller–willing buyer principle. Negotiations will be based on market value of the land but guided by a property valuation report from the government’s Valuation Department and monitored by an independent third party to ensure that negotiations and related decision-making are free of coercion and pressure. The second strategy will be to use the state land vested in different state agencies and getting them transferred to CEB through the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers

29 Sri Lanka Electricity (Amendment) Act, No.31 of 2013.

48

and a memorandum of understanding between CEB and the relevant land owning agencies and subject to the payment of land values by CEB. The third strategy will be to acquire the land per the provisions in the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No. 9 of 1950 and the Land Acquisition and Payment of Compensation Regulations of 2009. 6.1 Ceylon Electricity Board Act No. 17 of 1969 128. Section 57 of the Ceylon Electricity Board Act No. 17 of 1969 states that “Where any immovable property is required to be acquired for any purpose of the Board and the Minister, by order published in the Gazette, approves of the proposed acquisition, that property shall be deemed to be required for a public purpose and may accordingly be acquired under the Land Acquisition Act and be transferred to the Board. Any sum payable for the acquisition of any immovable property under the Land Acquisition Act for the Board shall be paid by the Board”. Compensation for the acquired property will be paid based on ‘market value’ as provided in the LAA. 129. Section 12 (e) of the Ceylon Electricity Board Act No. 17 of 1969 empowers its Board to acquire, hold, take or give on lease or hire, mortgage, pledge or sell or otherwise dispose of any immovable or movable property. This provides for CEB to engage in direct land purchases based on negotiated settlement between the willing-buyer and the willing-seller principle. 6.2 Sri Lanka Electricity Act No. 20 of 2009 130. The Sri Lanka Electricity Act No.20 of 2009 (Chapter VII [52 (1)]) refers to acquisition of property which provides for, “Where the President on a recommendation made by the Minister is of the opinion that any immovable property is required for a power generation project or a transmission project and that such project would serve for the general welfare and benefit of the public, the President may by Order published in the Gazette, declare that such immovable property is required for such purpose, and the property may accordingly be acquired under the Land Acquisition Act and be transferred to the person or persons proposing to carry out such project”. Compensation for the acquired property will be paid based on ‘market value’ as provided in the LAA.

6.3 Land Acquisition Act of 1950 131. The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No. 9 of 1950 is based on the principle of eminent domain and lays down the general procedure for the acquisition of private land for a ‘public purpose’ (e.g. development projects). The land acquisition process is lengthy and would take a minimum of about seventy-two weeks for its completion. The law also stipulates that lands acquired for a particular purpose cannot be used for a different purpose, and lands that remain unused be returned to the original owners. The procedures for the payment of compensation under compulsory acquisition of land are also described in Part VI of the LAA. Section 46 (1) of the LAA prescribes that the amount of compensation payable to any person interested in a land should be determined on the basis of (i) market value of the land or servitude to be acquired; and (ii) severance [46 (1) (i)]; injurious affection [46 (1) (ii); loss of earnings [46 (1) (iii); and reasonable expenses for change of residence [46 (1) (iv). The LAA defines market value as “…the amount which the land might be expected to have realized if sold by a willing seller in the open market as a separate entity on the date of publication of that Notice (Section 7) in the Gazette” [Section 45 (1)]. 132. The land acquisition process stipulated in the Act is as follows.

133. The LAA also makes provisions under Section 38 (a) proviso to take over the immediate possession of any land on grounds of ‘urgency’, if the Minister of Lands is of the opinion that the land is ‘urgently’ needed for development projects and cannot wait until the compensation inquiry is over. In such a situation, the Minister of Land may issue an order under Section 38 (a) proviso after Notices under Section 2 or 4 are published. The acquiring officer will thereafter request the Chief Valuer to prepare a Condition Report of the property, as at the date of taking over, in order to facilitate assessment of compensation to be paid once Section 7 Notice is published later on. The application of Section 38 (a) proviso avoids a number of provisions prescribed under the general procedure for land acquisition. This provision in the LAA bypasses the issue of Section 4 Notice, which allows the landowner or any other interested parties to raise their objections to the acquisition of a particular land. Further, Section 38 (a) proviso allows the acquiring officer to take over the immediate possession of the land and vesting it on the institution which has requested the acquisition of such land, before the compensation is paid to the affected parties. 6.4 Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009 134. The LAA provides for the payment of compensation on the basis of ‘market value’ defined as the ‘amount which the land might be expected to have realized if sold by a willing seller in the open market as a separate entity’. This ‘separate entity principle’ resulted in hardships particularly

51

when a small part of a larger land was acquired. In the open market such a small area of land fetched a minimum value. The Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009 approved by the Cabinet of Ministers and the Parliament and published in the Government Gazette of 7 April 2009 gave the legal status to these Regulations and bound all development projects by the consolidated land acquisition and resettlement/rehabilitation processes outlined in the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of 2001. The Regulations redefine the valuation approach for market value and states that ‘in the case of land where part of a land is acquired and when its value as a separate entity deems to realize a value proportionately lower than the Market Value of the mainland the compensation should be proportionate to the value of the main land’. The Regulations also provides additional compensation beyond ‘market value’ and incorporates compensation for injurious affection, severance and disturbances based on the principle of value to owner (Gazette notification No.1596 of 7.4.2009). The regulations also provide for payment of compensation to non-titleholders. 6.5 National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of 2001 135. The LAA does not provide clear guidelines directing the project executing agencies to address key resettlement planning and implementation issues such as (a) exploring alternative project options to avoid or minimize impacts on people; (b) compensating the non-titled persons who will be affected by a project but are currently using and dependent on land; (c) consulting affected persons and resettlement hosts on resettlement options; (d) providing for successful social and economic integration of the affected persons into the host communities, and (e) rehabilitating affected persons along with income restoration measures. In order to address the gaps in the LAA, the Government of Sri Lanka introduced the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) in 2001. The NIRP principled on human and ethical considerations entails the payment of replacement cost to the persons affected by land acquisition and arranges for their resettlement and where necessary even their rehabilitation. 136. The NIRP is designed to ensure that (i) project affected persons are adequately compensated, relocated, and rehabilitated; (ii) delays in project implementation and cost overruns are reduced; and (iii) better community relations are restored. The NIRP aims at ensuring that people affected by development projects are treated in a fair and equitable manner, and to ensure that they are not impoverished in the process.

137. Policy Objectives. (i) Avoid, minimize, and mitigate negative impacts of involuntary resettlement by facilitating the reestablishment of the affected people on a productive and self-sustaining basis. Ensure that people adversely affected by development projects are fully and promptly compensated and successfully resettled. The livelihoods of the displaced persons should be reestablished and the standard of living improved; (ii) Ensure that no impoverishment of people shall result as a consequence of compulsory land acquisition by the State for development purposes; (iii) Assist adversely affected persons in dealing with the psychological, cultural, social and other impacts caused by compulsory land acquisition; (iv) Make all affected persons aware of processes, available for the redress of grievances that are easily accessible and immediately responsive; and (v) Have in place a consultative, transparent and accountable involuntary resettlement process with a time frame agreed to by the Project Executing Agency and the affected persons.

138. Policy Principles. (i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided as much as possible by reviewing alternatives to the project as well as alternatives within the project; (ii) Where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, affected persons should be assisted to re-establish themselves and improve their quality of life; (iii) Gender equality and equity should be ensured

52

and adhered to throughout; (iv) Affected persons should be fully involved in the selection of relocation sites, livelihood compensation and development options at the earliest opportunity; (v) Replacement land should be an option for compensation in the case of loss of land; and in the absence of replacement land cash compensation should be an option for all affected persons; (vi) Compensation for loss of land, structures, other assets and income should be based on full replacement cost and should be paid promptly. This should include transaction costs; (vii) Resettlement should be planned and implemented with full participation of the provincial and local authorities; (viii) Participatory measures should be designed and implemented to assist those economically and socially affected to be integrated into the host communities; (ix) Common property resources and community and public services should be provided to affected persons; (x) Resettlement should be planned as a development activity for the affected persons; (xi) Affected persons who do not have title deeds to land should receive fair and just treatment; (xii) Vulnerable groups should be identified and given appropriate assistance to improve their living standards; and (xiii) Project Executing Agencies should bear the full costs of compensation and resettlement. 6.6 Compliance of Sri Lanka’s Resettlement Policy and Legal Framework with ADB

Safeguards Policies 139. The policy principles of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) emphasizes the need to ‘screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks’ and carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-government organizations’. The LAA provides for the screening of projects at the stage where a request for acquisition is initially received by the Minister of Land as well as consequent to the initial investigation where there is a period of public objections and review of same. This project screening process is further reinforced through the National Environmental Act of 1980 (NEA) and its subsequent amendments which empowered the Central Environmental Authority (CEA) to review and evaluate the environmental impacts of development projects. Development projects designated as “prescribed projects” by CEA require their project proponent agencies to submit either an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report or an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the review and evaluation by the project approving agencies. The assessment of the social impacts of such prescribed projects including involuntary resettlements is a component included in the EIA process. The preparation of an EIA is a lengthy process and needs to be conducted through a participatory process. The guidelines prescribed by CEA for the review and approval of an EIA require information disclosure during environmental screening, conducting public consultations, disclosure of the report for public scrutiny, allocating a specific time period for the public to submit their written comments, and conducting public hearings. The NEA equally applies to electricity projects as well. 140. The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement stipulates the need to ‘inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options and to ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and evaluation of resettlement programs’. However, there are no legal provisions that necessarily require that the affected parties be empowered and provided an opportunity to participate in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. This gap is addressed through the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001 which prescribes the full involvement of the affected persons in the selection of relocation sites, livelihood compensation and development options at the earliest opportunity. NIRP further requires the preparation of a resettlement plan for projects that cause involuntary resettlement of over twenty families. 141. The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) also looks at the Grievance Redress

53

Mechanism for the purpose of receiving and facilitation of the resolution of the grievances of affected parties. The LAA provides a limited grievance redress mechanism whereby certain grievances of the affected parties relating to compensation can be referred to the Land Acquisition Board of Review established in terms of the LAA, in addition to the inquiry under Section 9 and 17. This is a limited mechanism that only addresses issues pertaining to compensation. The Land Acquisition Regulations of 2013 provides development projects to be designated as ‘specified projects’ by the Ministry of Lands with the ratification of the Parliament of Sri Lanka. The ‘specified projects’ qualify to establish Land Acquisition and Resettlement Committees (LARC) in the divisional secretariat divisions where the persons affected by land acquisition and dissatisfied with statutory compensation can appeal for a higher compensation. The regulations of 2013 provide for a comprehensive ex-gratia compensation package to the project affected persons. Affected parties also have the opportunity of appearing before the LARC proceedings and those dissatisfied with LARC decisions on compensation can appeal to the Super LARC established at national level. In this sense, LARC also serves as a grievance redress mechanism and a mechanism to ensure that affected parties are compensated for their losses at ‘replacement value’. However, provisions in 2013 Regulations do not apply to CEB since it has not obtained ‘specified project’ status to any of its electricity projects. 142. While the LAA provides for the payment of compensation at ‘market value’, the NIRP policy principles mandate the payment of full replacement cost as compensation which is very much in compliance with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement prescribes the payment of prompt compensation. The LAA however contains provisions that enable the delayed payment of compensation by the State. However, in practice, various administrative arrangements are being made by project executing agencies to minimize delays in the payment of compensation and to make such payments available at the earliest possible opportunity may be by way of advance payments. Where acquisition takes place on the basis of urgency, an affected party can be deprived of the asset well before the compensation takes place. However, in practice certain projects had taken a decision not to deprive an asset until compensation has been paid, the exception being where a dispute has been referred for adjudication. 143. The policy principles of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) also places its emphasis on the need to ‘ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets’. The NIRP recognizes that affected persons who do not have title deeds to land should receive fair and just treatment. 144. The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) recommends preparing ‘a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule’. The NIRP mandates the preparation of a resettlement plan in order to streamline resettlement where 20 or more families are affected. 145. The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) specifically recommends that needed assistance be provided to those affected by displacement. The Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009 provide for certain types of assistance to be extended to affected parties within the scope of enhanced compensation. Non-monetary assistance as intended in the regulations is best achieved through resettlement planning.

Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009 provides for the assessment of market value of any land in proportionate to the value of the main land; compensation for Disturbances based on the “value to owner” and includes compensation for (i) expenses incurred for appearing for Section 9 inquiry; (ii) expenses for finding alternative accommodation; (iii) costs incurred in change of residence; (iv) costs of advertising; (iv) refixing cost of fixtures and fittings; (v) expenses incurred for transport; (vi) loss of earnings from business (within the limits given in prevailing Act); (vii) increased overhead expenses; (viii) all other expenses to the owner due to the acquisition; (ix) any other additional expenses for disturbance or compensation not connected under any other Sub-section of this Act which is directly not connected to market value of the land; and (x) when an owner of a house or of an investment property displaced, additional 10% payment based on market value. National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of 2001 requires compensation for loss of land, structures, other assets, and income be based on full replacement cost

5. Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons

Land Acquisition Act of 1950 provides for livelihood compensation but limited to three times the average annual net profit. However, where the business is the sale of produce from the land to be acquired, no compensation may be paid under this clause. In such an instance, the value of the produce is computed with the value of the land.

Complied. Compensation for

losses of livelihood included in the resettlement plan.

Land Acquisition Regulations of 2009 recognize livelihood compensation in terms of determining the quantum of compensation and provides for compensation for Disturbances based on “value to owner” (refer Item 4 above)

Land Acquisition Act of 1950 provides a regular approach and an expedited approach for acquisition. Under the regular acquisition process displacement can only be affected after the award has been made. The payment of compensation may get delayed where the person displaced appeals against the compensation awarded. Under the expedited approach displacement can occur prior to compensation being assessed and/or paid.

CEB = Ceylon Electricity Board, EIA = environmental impact assessment, GRM = grievance redress mechanism, IEE = Initial Environmental Examination. 6.7 Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard Principles Applicable to the Project 146. Based on the national policy and regulatory framework and the safeguards policy of ADB, the implementation of the project will be guided by the following safeguards principles.

• Adverse impacts arising from project design, planning and implementation including involuntary resettlement would be avoided, minimized, and mitigated by exploring design alternatives.

• Project related information including entitlements to affected persons will be disclosed in a timely manner and will be made available in places easily accessible to them and in local languages.

• Consultations will be carried out with affected persons and their communities to elicit their views and suggestions on project design and implementation procedures and to ensure their participation in project planning, implementation, and monitoring.

• CEB to ensure transparency, consistency, and fairness in all its transactions including third party validation, calculation of replacement cost of land and other assets, record keeping etc. in their land transactions for direct purchase. If, however, negotiated settlement failed, CEB will follow the acquisition procedure prescribed in the LAA and will ensure that affected persons are compensated at replacement cost as per the 2009 Regulations.

• Permanent and temporary loss of crops, standing trees and commercial trees due to project constructions will be compensated at replacement value determined by the Divisional Secretary.

57

• Permanent loss of land for tower bases and devaluation of land due to transmission lines will be compensated as determined by the Divisional Secretary.

• Civil construction works will be scheduled for off-farming seasons to minimize adverse impacts on agricultural and other livelihood activities.

• Vulnerable persons/households affected by transmission lines will be provided with resettlement assistance.

• All entitlements and compensation will be paid to the affected persons prior to the commissioning of the civil construction work.

• Grievance redress mechanisms will be established at different levels from construction sites to the executing agency level to receive and resolve any grievances from affected persons and to be resolved within a reasonable time frame.

• Contractual agreements with construction companies will ensure that contractors adopt adequate safety measures and avoid disturbances causing from access restrictions, noise, dust etc. and maintain prescribed labor and health standards.

• Construction related damages caused to any roads and private and common properties will be restored to their previous or better conditions by the contractor prior to the completion of project construction work.

• This resettlement plan will be disclosed in an accessible place and in a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders.

• Compliance with the safeguards policies and principles by executing agency and the outcomes and impacts of resettlement will be monitored.

7. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS 7.1 Introduction 147. The project will provide cash compensation at replacement cost 30 as well as other rehabilitation and restoration assistance to persons affected by the project. The affected persons will include both legal titleholders and non-titleholders. The corridors earmarked for transmission lines will affect a number of persons such as those who would lose their land for tower base area at ground level of the transmission towers, and households whose residential dwellings, commercial structures, standing trees and crops are located within those boundaries due to temporary impacts imposed on land use. The transmission corridors can also affect people’s livelihoods and incomes. However, except for the permanent loss of land for tower bases and the standing trees over and above 5 m in height, impacts will be largely temporary economic displacements.

148. The land required for the construction of three new substations (Tissamaharama, Kalawana and Negombo) will be obtained by CEB through negotiated settlement between willing-seller and willing-buyer, and hence will not cause any involuntary resettlement impacts. The process of negotiation and financial transactions will be monitored by an independent third party to ensure that negotiations and related decision-making are free of coercion and pressure. If the negotiations with the landowners failed in case of disagreements over property valuation, CEB will opt for the involuntary acquisition of the same plot of land. No civil works will commence on such properties until acquisition process is completed, and full compensation is paid to the affected landowners.

149. The land required for three other new substations (Mirigama, Homagama and Peliyagoda) will be transferred to CEB by three different state agencies on a memorandum of understanding and subject to the payment of land values by CEB. The land earmarked for Mirigama and Peliyagoda substations is free of encumbrances, and therefore, no major resettlement impacts are anticipated.31 As described in chapter 2, the land for the Homagama substation is part of a larger land to be acquired by UDA for a mega development project, part of which (5 acres) will be transferred to CEB for the construction of the substation. CEB will pay the full cost of compensation to UDA and ensure that the owner of the land plot to be transferred to CEB is paid full compensation prior to the transfer of the land to CEB.

150. Involuntary land acquisitions involve only for the new Baddegama substation. This land taken on lease by a private plantation company is currently a degraded rubber plantation that does not generate any incomes to the company. Neither there are any dependents on this land.

151. All procedures to be followed in different approaches and the financial transactions including payment of full compensation to landowners and affected parties will be concluded prior to the commencement of construction work. CEB will also submit monthly status reports to ADB on the progress of land acquisition, land purchases and transfers. In case of any changes in the land procurement strategies or CEB having to shift from one mode of procurement to another, same will also be communicated to ADB for prior approval.

30 The calculation of full replacement cost will be based on the following elements as per the ADB Safeguard Policy

Statement (2009): (i) fair market value; (ii) transaction costs; (iii) interest accrued, (iv) transitional and restoration costs; and (v) other applicable payments, if any. In calculating the replacement cost, depreciation of built structures and other assets will not be taken into account.

31 The entitlement matrix excludes entitlements and compensation for the six substation lands to be either purchased or transfered. However, provisions for the payment of land values of these six lands are included in the resettlement budget.

59

152. This resettlement plan advocates compensation and/or rehabilitation and restoration assistance to all persons affected by the project irrespective of their title in order to offset such losses and enabling restoration of living conditions to a state better or equal to the pre-project situation. All affected persons who are identified in the project-affected areas on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets, and rehabilitation measures. The legal cut-off date will be the date of issuing of the Section 2 notice (LAA 1950) for the land to be acquired for Baddegama substation. The social cut-off date for non-title holders and affected people by transmission lines is the final date of the census of affected persons conducted based on the detailed measurement survey and the final engineering design. The land acquisition process for Baddegama land had already commenced, and the legal cut-off date has been announced with the issuing of Section 2 notice on 13 July 2020. Those who encroach into the subproject area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to receive compensation or any other assistance. 7.2 Entitlement Matrix 153. This section presents an entitlement matrix that provides for compensation and other R&R assistance for different losses of the affected persons depending on the type and scope of the losses, its impact, and status of ownership to the affected assets and the social and economic vulnerability of the affected persons. The land acquired for the project, and the residential and commercial structures, and the trees, and crops that would be affected by impacts imposed on land use during the construction of the transmission towers and lines will be compensated at replacement cost. Further, the landowners will be allowed to continue to use the land falling within the ROW of the transmission lines and under the transmission towers (except for planting of tall trees) after the completion of construction work. In addition, since there are no land acquisitions for transmission lines, people can still retain their ownership to the land, and use it for residential, commercial and cultivation purposes provided the vertical clearance requirement is maintained. The standard vertical clearance between lines and structures is 3.6 m for 132 kV and 4.6 m for 220 kV. All entitlements of compensation will be paid to the affected persons prior to their displacement and handing over the construction sites to the contractors. 154. The entitlement matrix was prepared in commensurate with the project’s impacts and also taking into consideration the provisions in the national regulatory framework of Sri Lanka and in compliance with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). If the entitlement matrix has not covered any particular impact or the valuation rates set in the resettlement plan do not correspond to the replacement cost, the entitlement matrix will be updated after the final census of the affected persons to include entitlements that have not been covered, and to adjust the rates to match the replacement cost. However, the entitlement matrix will not be downgraded. 155. Table 7.1 summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding entitlements in accordance with the policies and legal framework of the government and ADB safeguard policies.

Table 7.1 - Eligibility and Entitlement Matrix

32 At this stage, land for only one substation of Baddegama is expected to be acquired as per the Land Acquisition Act

of 1950. The three substations of Kalawana, Tissamaharama and Negombo are expected to be purchased and there will be a 3rd party to observe the land purchase process to guarantee that there is no coercion or pressure. Failing of the negotiation will lead to land acquisition. In this case, the entitlement matrix will be applied to these substations.

8. RELOCATION AND INCOME RESTORATION 156. The project is not anticipated to cause permanent physical displacements and relocation of affected people. Land purchases/acquisitions for new substations will result in permanent economic displacements to 5 land owning households including the owner of the land to be acquired by UDA in Homagama and later transferred to CEB. However, none of the landowners are entirely dependent on the incomes from these lands. 157. Landowners will receive compensation from the project for the land to be purchased based on market value negotiated between the respective parties. The compensation for the land to be purchased and acquired from these 5 landowners is estimated at SLRs413,500,000 (see Chapter 9 for resettlement budget) and this compensation money would be sufficient for those landowners to purchase alternate land or to invest in other productive activities. 158. There are no leaseholders or sharecropper’s dependent on these lands. The laborer family living and working on the Kalawana land will be provided with access to alternate income sources by its landowner while the landowner of the Negombo will provide both alternate residential facilities and income sources for the laborer family who work on this land. Thus, the two laborer families will be able to sustain their income levels without any form of displacements. 159. The construction work of the transmission lines will temporarily affect the crops cultivated around the tower base areas and the access paths cleared for the movement of vehicles and machinery. The peiod of impact due to construction work will not exceed a single cultivation season. Additionally, several households will permanently lose the standing trees grown within the ROW of the transmission lines. 160. Project will pay compensation for the affected crops for the duration of the construction period to off-set their production and income losses. Compensation for crop losses is estimated at SLRs200,000 per acre. 161. Project will also pay compensation for the trees that are to be removed from the ROW. 162. Project will allow the affected persons to use the land underneath the towers for the same purpose for which it has been used earlier after the completion of the construction work. 163. Project will encourage affected persons to use part of their compensation for re-planting the trees and will facilitate linkages with support agencies such as the department of agriculture or department of agricultural extension services for affected persons to participate and benefit from tree planting programs or programs that introduce alternate crop varieties including related training programs conducted by those agencies. 164. Small- and large-scale commercial activities located within the ROW will not be affected by the construction work of the transmission lines. They can continue their business transactions without any disruptions during the civil works. 165. The women headed and vulnerable housheolds, affected by transmission lines will receive additional cash assistance to cope with stressors causing from any losses and to regain their livelihoods or economic assets. 166. CEB will also initiate a livelihood support program for 50 vulnerable households affected by the transmission lines to establish and manage plant nurseries in their homesteads, the

65

production of which will be purchased by CEB for its island-wide tree plantation program implemented as part of CEB’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. This program would generate supplementary incomes for these vulnerable households who would temporarily lose their crops during construction work and permanently lose their incomes from the standing trees. The 50 beneficiary housheolds will include 35 women headed households and the rest 15 will be selected from among the elderly and disabled members of the affected households or their family members in case the primary beneficiary is incapacitated due to some reasons to participate in the program. CEB will facilitate technical training required for establishing and managing plant nurseries, and provide them with plant material, nursery packets, compost, and fungicide. Additionally, a cash grant will be provided to erect a shaded tent. There will be 4 training programs which will be organized in Anuradhapura, Kalutara, Matara and Hambantota districts and in locations that are easily accessible to the program beneficiaries. The program has an initial target of 500 plants per beneficiary household. The average cost per beneficiary is estimated at SLRs30,000. The program will be supported by the 4 PIUs and it will be coordinated and monitored by social and environmental officers assigned to the PMU. 167. Both CEB and LECO will also reach agreements with construction contractors to offer employment with equal wages for both men and women in construction work, specifically for households affected by the project. Emphasis will also be placed in the contractual agreements to set aside a quota for women workers. 168. Provisions for payment of compensation and other rehabilitation and restoration assistance have been included in the entitlement matrix as well as in the resettlement budget.

169. For gender mainstreaming, CEB and LECO will arrange site visits to their facilities and orientations for 250 undergraduate students of whom 30% will be female students. Further, CEB and LECO will organize a joint women’s forum with 150 of their female engineers and professionals to identify women’s needs and problems to pursue their career path in the energy sector. Based on discussions in the forum, CEB and LECO will provide relevant skills training for their female engineers and professional staff. Tentatively 3 trainings are planned, and each training program will accommodate 100 female participants. The site visits, joint forum and subsequent trainings will be supported under ADB’s TA.

9. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

9.1 Budget Notes 170. The resettlement budget is indicative. The financial provisions included in the budget are based on the following indicators, assumptions, and estimates.

i) The estimated compensation for land to be purchased or acquired for the construction of new substations is based on either CEB’s estimates of the land values based on current market values, or the government’s valuation reports obtained by CEB.

ii) The stamp duty for the transfer of deeds of the land to be purchased directly i.e. lands in Kalawana, Negombo and Tissamaharamaya has been calculated based on applicable regulations which are on average 4% per every SLRs100,000.

iii) Assuming that the transmission towers will be installed in paddy fields, highlands and plantation areas avoiding settlements, the compensation for the permanent loss of such agricultural land for tower base areas is estimated at SLRs 2,500,000 per hectare based on the market values gathered from community members during consultations. The total land required for the transmission towers is estimated at 3.39 ha.

iv) The compensation for devaluation of residential land within the ROW is estimated for 150.14 ha (371 acres). The market value of residential land is estimated at SLRs 4,000,000 per hectare based on the market values gathered from community members during consultations. The proposed compensation for devaluation of residential land is estimated as 25% of the above-mentioned full market value per hectare. The compensation for devaluation of any ‘other land’ within the RoW is estimated for 290 ha comprising paddy land (202.75 ha), highlands with seasonal crops (58.27 ha) and tea plantations (29.14 ha). The market value of such other land is estimated at SLRs 2,500,000 per hectaree. The proposed compensation for devaluation of other land is estimated as 15% of the above-mentioned full market value per hectare.

v) The compensation for crop losses is restricted to the crops grown especially around the areas earmarked for transmission towers and the access paths used for the transportation of construction material and the movement of machinery. Accordingly, the affected area is estimated at 6.47 ha comprising 3.24 ha for tower base areas and another 3.24 ha for access paths. The estimated compensation for crop losses is derived from recent agricultural surveys conducted by the Department of Census and Statistics on average seasonal yields of different crop varieties, and the current farm gate prices for those crops. Accordingly, the proposed compensation for crop losses is SLRs 500,000 per hectare.

vi) The compensation for the affected fruit-bearing and timber trees is based on rates paid by CEB for the affected trees in their recent electricity projects. Another 10% of the tree value is added considering the inflation.

vii) The social inventories prepared for the transmission lines observed 104 residential dwellings, 13 commercial structures, 71 auxiliary structures and 2 common property structures. Assuming that accidental damages could cause to 20% of these structures during project construction work, compensation for the restoration of those structures is calculated at the rate of SLRs250,000 per primary structure and SLRs100,000 per auxiliary structure.

67

viii) Additional cash assistance for vulnerable households living below the poverty line to cope with stresses and reestablish their livelihoods is proposed at SLRs25,000 per household.

ix) The livelihood support program for 50 women headed households and other vulnerable persons will include technical training and other support to establish and manage plant nurseries. The allocated amount for an individual household is SLRs30,000.

171. The budget will be revised and updated after completion of the final engineering designs, final inventory of losses and a systematic valuation of the losses by the executing agency. The preparation of the budget was guided by the entitlement matrix which provides for payment of compensation at replacement cost and includes compensation for both temporary and permanent loss of land and the other assets. The budget also makes provisions for additional resettlement assistance for vulnerable households and particularly for their livelihood restoration. Furthermore, provisions have been made to cover the costs of conducting consultations, updating the resettlement plan, grievance redress and monitoring. The total resettlement budget is estimated at SLRs1,017,937,585. The executing agency will disburse the necessary funds through its PMU to cover the land acquisition and resettlement costs. The summary resettlement budget is presented in Table 9.1.

10. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS 172. CEB is the executing agency for Component 1 of the project while LECO is responsible for the execution of Component 2 of the project. Both executing agencies have established project management units (PMU) for the overall implementation and coordination of the project related activities earmarked under the two components. Additionally, CEB’s component 1 requires establishing four project implementation units (PIU) for the implementation of different sub-components of component 1. The PIUs will be led by project managers appointed for each PIU. The PMUs with their respective Project Directors will be responsible for overall project planning and implementation, including procurement, accounting, quality assurance, social and environmental issues, coordination with concerned agencies, supervising, monitoring, and auditing. It is also the responsibility of PMUs to report to ADB on the implementation of the resettlement plan on a semiannual basis during construction and on annual basis during operation. 173. CEB will recruit two social safeguards officers and one environmental officer40 to its PMU. These officers are long-term based consultants. Additionally, there will be one health and safety consultant who will be engaged under ADB’s TA to support the PMU. The two Social Safeguards Officer (SSO) will be responsible for the overall coordination and direction of the resettlement plan implementation, monitoring and reporting. The environmental officer will be primarily responsible for the monitoring of the implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). All safeguards officers will report directly to the project director. Besides, they will liaise with the PIUs and their respective project managers in the discharge of their functions related to safeguards management of the project. At site level, the safeguards officers will also be assisted by site engineers and their electrical/civil superintendents in grievance handling, community consultations and awareness raising, information dissemination, payment of compensation for affected assets, and monitoring of safeguards management. 41 There will be 5 site engineers assigned to each project manager. Each site engineer will be assigned 2-3 electrical and/or civil superintendents.

174. Safeguards functions related to Component 2 of LECO will be carried out by an environmental and social safeguards officer (ESSO) and a health and safety consultant who will be appointed to the PMU of LECO. The ESSO and the health and safety consultant will report directly to the project director and will be responsible for the implementation of the resettlement plan and the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), information disclosure and consultations, grievance handling, monitoring and reporting.

11. MONITORING AND REPORTING 178. CEB and LECO will have the overall responsibility for monitoring the project processes, outputs, outcomes and impacts in periodic intervals. The project will be monitored only internally as required by the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) for projects classified for B category. The executing agencies will establish the necessary institutional arrangements required for monitoring of the implementation of the resettlement plan. PDs who will be responsible for the overall project management and coordination will appoint competent staff to carry out the internal monitoring activities. Semiannual reports will be submitted to ADB and disclosed on the ADB website.

11.1 Internal Monitoring 179. The Social Safeguards Officers of CEB’s PMU and the ESSO of LECO’s PMU in consultation with the project managers of CEB’s PIUs and the branch managers of LECO will design a monitoring framework which will include the key areas for monitoring, methodologies and relevant indicators and plans for disclosure of monitoring results well in advance of the project implementation. The monitoring system will also focus on engaging all the relevant stakeholders in the monitoring processes and adopt participatory processes. The methodologies would include review of documents produced by the subproject staff, contractors etc., individual/group meetings with affected persons and other stakeholders and surveys and studies. The safeguards officers of CEB and LECO will maintain a database of all the relevant information such as baseline survey/census data, profiles of affected persons and information related to resettlement. 180. The sfaeguards officers and the site engineers will undertake periodic field visits to project sites and engage in communication with the affected persons and ensure that consultations are conducted regularly and effectively. The monitoring process will also focus on (i) the progress of the implementation of the resettlement plan; (ii) the level of compliance of project implementation with safeguards plans and measures provided in the legal agreements including payment of compensation and other resettlement assistance and mitigation of construction related impacts; (iii) occupational health and safety measures including those adopted for the prevention and control of the spread of COVID-19’ (iv) disclosure of monitoring results to the affected persons and other stakeholders; (v) the level of consultations conducted with the affected persons and other stakeholders to address gaps in resettlement plan implementation and to identify necessary measures to mitigate, avoid or minimize adverse impacts arising from project implementation; and (vi) redressal of affected persons’ grievances. 181. The SSOs of CEB and the ESSO of LECO will systematically document the monitoring results and quarterly (internal) reports will be produced during implementation of the resettlement plan. The executing agencies will submit consolidated semiannual reports for review by ADB on the progress of the safeguard’s implementation of resettlement activities and any compliance issues and corrective actions adopted. These reports will closely follow the involuntary resettlement monitoring indicators (see Table 11-1) agreed at the time of resettlement plan approval and will be disclosed on the official websites of ADB, CEB and LECO .

12. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 182. Activities related to social safeguards management will go through different phases which include preparation of draft and final resettlement plan, public consultations and information disclosure, and disclosure of resettlement plans, land purchase/acquisition and payment of compensation and other assistance, grievance redress etc. The compensation will be provided before any physical and/or economic displacement. The implementation schedules for each substation and transmission line vary, and therefore finalizing resettlement plan encompassing all project components and their implementation schedules into one single framework prior to the award of the contract is not feasible. Meanwhile, implementation schedules for transmission lines are difficult to finalize prior to the award of contract as the design will be finalized by the contractors. Therefore, the team will finalize the resettlement plan by component by component. 183. However, all activities related to assessment of losses and payment of compensation will be completed before subproject sites are handed over to the contractors and the commencement of the civil work constructions. No physical or economic displacement of the affected persons will occur until full compensation is paid to the affected persons at replacement cost and the executing agencies will ensure that compensation is paid prior to the start of civil works. All land will be freed from its encumbrances before they are handed over to the contractors. Public consultations, information disclosure, grievance redress processes and monitoring will continue an intermittent basis for the entire duration of the project which is now considered to be four years. Table 12.1 presents an implementation schedule for resettlement activities. The timeframe planned for the completion of resettlement activities will vary from minimum of 6 to 12 months, preceding the implementation of each project component. The implementation schedule for resettlement activities are tentative and subject to modification based on the actual progress of work.

Annex 26 - Community Consultations - Key Issues Raised during RP Drafting

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response Design Related Information

1 Would there be additional cabling other than the existing cables? Would there be new towers to replace the existing towers? Would the old line be removed? (New Anuradhapura GSS – New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

The existing line will be replaced with new cables and towers.

2 What is the difference between the existing line and the proposed new line? (New Anuradhapura GSS – New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

The voltage of the existing line is 132 kV. The new line will operate at 220 kV.

3 Would the tower sizes be increased? (New Anuradhapura GSS – New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

The size of the towers will be slightly different to the existing towers.

4 Has the line route been finalized? We still have a preliminary line route. Final route will be based on technical, environmental, and social feasibility studies. It will try to minimize adverse impacts on people and their environment.

5 What is the line route? Would it go through the forest conservation areas? We oppose lines going through the forest reserves. This is a landslide prone area. If trees in the reserves are fell down, it can accelerate landslides (Kalawana).

Forest reserves will be completely avoided. No lines will be installed over forest conservation areas.

6 Would this project provide electricity to Tech City project? (Homagama)

The project will support to meet the growing demand for electricity in the Homagama area including the Tech City project.

Land Acquisition 7 Does the project require additional land from

us? Would there be removal of more trees? (New Anuradhapura GSS – New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

Additional land is required. The right-of-way for the existing line route is 13.5 m from either side of the centre of the line. With the new line, it will be increased to 17.5 m. Within this new corridor, trees above 5 m height will be removed.

8 Would our land be acquired for the project? CEB will not acquire any land for construction of transmission lines. However, land will be purchased/acquired for the construction of new substations.

Displacements 9 Would the project cause displacements from

our residential dwellings? Would the project allow us to live closer to the line? We live on

The project will not cause any population displacements. People can continue to live in their present habitats.

228

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response this land despite all difficulties including threats from wild elephants because we do not own any other land. Therefore, the project should not harm us. If we cannot live close to each other, we will lose our social networks and it will affect our security.

10 People do not have much land. Their children also have to live on the same land. This is why they build their houses under the line despite risks to their lives. They have nowhere to go.

People can build houses under the line provided they maintain the minimum clearance which is 4.6 m.

11 Project would adversely affect people who own/occupy small land parcels. Their children will not be able to build houses if lines were erected over such land.

12 Our land plots are small, but they have a high market value. Some people had bought these lands from the loans taken, and they would repay them for the next 10-15 years. We need to share this land with our children. They need to build houses for themselves. If the line traversed such homesteads, they would lose the land to build the houses. Sometimes, the lines may go over the sections which are most suitable for housing. Safety issues may arise when new houses are built.

13 We have several members in the family. Where can they build houses when a line traverses the land? We do not object lines traversing the paddy fields, but we strongly object lines erected over our houses and homesteads.

People can build houses under the line provided they maintain the minimum clearance which is 4.6 m. Owners can inform their future plans to build houses and the project will try its best to design the line in such a way that required clearances are maintained. Compensation for loss of crops and trees, livelihoods and land devaluation will be paid. Thus, re-location will not be required.

14 We have no objections to lines going over our land but not over our houses.

15 We lived in an area which was vulnerable to landslides. We were asked to relocate, and we have settled down here. Now this project threatens our lives. We propose to shift the line by another 1 km. We can show this path to CEB officers. Lines traversing the houses should be avoided. Towers should be installed in barren lands (Kalawana).

Possibilities of re-aligning the line route will be explored to avoid adverse impacts on settlements.

229

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response 16 Project should ensure that people are not

physically displaced because our livelihood and income sources are established in this area. Therefore, we cannot relocate ourselves in another area. People have also bought these lands to get their children admitted to good schools.

The project does not anticipate any relocation of people.

Loss of Livelihoods and Incomes 17 It is good that the new lines are installed

along the existing line route so that people do not have to sacrifice much of their land. Also, if the lines are installed at a height, people can cultivate under the lines to earn an income. When lines traverse half of our land and together with the new expansion of the RoW, we will not have a place to live. We neither have other land to cultivate.

People can grow crops and trees within the RoW or even under the tower bases. However, the trees that they plant should be less than 5 m in height. CEB will ensure and monitor that its contractors assigned for way-leave clearance comply with these standards and do not damage the crops and trees that are less than 5 m in height.

18 We grow vegetables, lemon, banana, betel, wood apple, orange etc. in our home gardens. We keep their produce by the side of the road and sell them to the commuters. It brings a good income, and especially helps women to meet their household needs. CEB does not allow us to plant even a lemon tree or banana clump or a betel wine. They do not want us to cultivate anything within the right-of-way. They come and remove them when we are not at home. If CEB continues to apply the same rule, we will not only lose our land but also our incomes.

19 People should be informed of the dates of the commencement of construction work at least 6 months in advance. Then they can avoid cultivations during that period or reduce their cultivations. Otherwise, people who cultivate with loans taken will not be able to repay the loans.

CEB will ensure that adequate notice is given to the public on the time frames for way-leaves clearance, and the dates of the commencement of the construction work.

20 Though CEB says that they pay compensation, they do not give much compensation. We cultivate with great difficulty. We have to nurture a banana clump at least for one year before we reap its harvest. Even of small trees are cut down, we lose our future incomes.

CEB will ensure fair compensation for all losses.

230

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response 21 Project should ensure minimum damages to

trees of high commercial value such as coconut. If damaged, it would adversely affect people’s livelihoods.

The project will try to minimize impacts on perennial and commercially valuable trees such as coconut.

22 We are not very much worried over felling other trees. But if our tea plantations are affected, we will raise objections. If tea plantations are damaged, we should be paid compensation. Damages to tea plantations should be avoided because growing a mature tea plant takes a long-time. Many people such as tea growers and their dependents like laborers, traders etc. will suffer from the loss of livelihoods and incomes if tea plantations are destroyed.

The project will ensure least damages to tea plantations during construction and maintenance work.

23 Affected parties should be provided free seedlings and fertilizer to restore their damaged crops.

Will incorporate this suggestion into the environmental management plan of the project.

Land Devaluation 24 Installation of electricity lines over lands will

cause their devaluation in the market. People are unable to sell such land at a higher price. We need compensation.

CEB will pay compensation for land devaluation as decided by the Divisional Secretary.

25 Compensation should be paid for devaluation of land considering the future market value of the property.

26 In this area, large landowners sell their land by apportioning them. Construction of lines over such commercial land will lead to their devaluation, and they will not be able to sell the land. Buyers will offer low prices.

Compensation 27 Will the project pay compensation for our

losses? Compensation will be paid for the land lost for tower bases, for trees that will be removed, crops that will be damaged during construction work, and for any devaluation of land owing to installation of lines and towers.

28 Towers require substantial land. Would the project pay compensation for the land used for towers? Would the project pay compensation for land over which the lines are erected?

29 It was with great financial difficulties that we built our houses, and the planting of trees was harder because of the regular droughts, scarcity of water and threats from wild elephants. Therefore, we need fair

The trees to be removed will be compensated. If any damages caused to houses and other built structures during construction work, compensation will be paid for their restoration. The Divisional Secretary,

231

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response compensation if the project affected our houses and trees.

(assisted by the Grama Niladahari) will assess the value of the affected properties.

30 Project should avoid adverse impacts on houses, valuable trees, crops etc. If unavoidable, affected parties should be paid fair compensation. Compensation should be higher than the government valuation. It should be paid to the affected parties prior to the commencement of construction work. There should be separate compensation for land and trees.

31 If trees were removed beyond the existing corridor, we should get fair compensation.

32 If project caused any displacements, would it provide cash compensation or alternate land?

The project does not anticipate any physical displacements.

33 Compensation should be paid for crop losses as well as for the seasons that people are unable to cultivate. We cultivate vegetables inside the right-of-way. They too will be affected.

Compensation will be paid for crop losses as well as for loss of incomes.

34 If crops were damaged, affected parties should be paid a transitional allowance until crops are restored.

35 Compensation should be paid irrespective of the title. It should be paid not only for the landowners but also for those who hold tenurial rights to the land.

All affected parties will be entitled to compensation irrespective of the title they hold on to the land.

36 We do not have much trust in compensation. Earlier occasions, we were promised compensation but never paid. Compensation should be paid before the commencement of construction work. We cannot waste our time in DS offices and CEB offices to get compensation.

All compensation will be paid in full prior to the commencement of construction work. Payments will be affected through the Divisional Secretary.

Personal Safety 37 The existing line traverses very low. It is about

25 feet from ground (New Anuradhapura - New Habarana 132 kV line). We cannot even get on to our roofs for repairs. Children cannot fly a kite. Few people died due to electrocution. Would the new line be the same? We have fears on the safety of our lives. If the height can be raised, most of our problems will be resolved.

The project will maintain required clearances and therefore, it will not cause any safety issues.

232

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response 38 Would the incidence of lightening increase

due to high voltage capacity? Would the cables and towers eject lightening? Would it affect our household electronic goods? Would the lines fall down during such lightening? If CEB assures us that these lines would not trigger lightening and that they do not fall down, we have no objection. They should follow the proper standards in construction.

CEB uses proper earthing methods that prevent potential effects of lightening. Internationally accepted standards will be applied in the construction of lines and towers, so that the likelihood of lines falling down is remote. CEB will ensure and monitor that its maintenance work is efficiently conducted. 39 Would the project cause any insecurity to our

lives? Would it restrict children’s recreational activities such as flying kites? Would we be vulnerable to lightening? Would it affect our electric appliances such as satellite TVs?

40 Maintenance of electricity lines is extremely poor. Lines have fallen on trees and on roads. They are not restored (Kalwana). This is particularly dangerous to the lives of children.

41 People can be vulnerable to lightening and sudden fires. This causes fear and anxiety in the minds of people, especially for people who conduct their livelihood activities in open spaces such as tea estates and tea leaves collecting centres. The existing lines are not properly maintained.

42 Would the project cause any specific illnesses like cancer for people due to radioactive gases released from the lines?

There is no scientific link established between the electricity projects and illnesses.

43 When old lines are removed, will it affect the houses located below the line?

Contractors will install scaffoldings over the houses and other built structures during stringing conductors or in removing the existing conductors to prevent any accidental damages.

44 Project should avoid electricity related accidents. Electricity lines should be properly maintained.

Safety measures will be introduced to avoid accidents during construction and operation. Will ensure proper maintenance of the lines.

45 Can the project fence-off the tower areas especially those erected closer to settlements? We leave behind our children when we go to work. Children may climb the towers which can be life threatening.

CEB will plan to avoid installation of towers closer to settlements. Hazard signs will be displayed on each tower.

46 Would there be power cuts during construction work?

No. Construction work will not affect any power distribution lines or household connections.

233

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response 47 CEB should conduct proper awareness

programs for people. CEB will continue to engage in consultation with people and to address their issues and concerns.

Influx of Labor Teams for Construction Work 48 During construction period, any possible

harmful acts on the part of contractor’s labor teams to the community members should be avoided. Most of the time only women and children stay at home when men are away in the fields. Their security should be ensured.

CEB will ensure that their contractors maintain proper labor standards including their discipline. Contractors will introduce a code of conduct for their labor teams. Further, CEB will establish a grievance redress mechanism for people to report any grievances/complaints if they encountered any problems from the labor teams or any other issues.

49 Outside labor parties and vehicle movements can cause safety issues to local people. Drug abuse can spread. Women and children will be at risk due to bad behaviors of external labor forces. People should be made aware and labor teams should have a code of conduct.

Construction Related Issues 50 When foundations are laid for installation of

towers in the paddy fields, excavated earth should be removed and any burrow pits should be properly closed.

The environmental management plan of the project will ensure that the contractor complies with these requirements.

51 Access roads used to move vehicles to paddy fields should be restored to their original state.

52 Movement of heavy vehicles and machinery can damage our village internal roads. Lines installation works can damage our tea and cinnamon cultivations. They should not obstruct the vehicles coming to the village to buy tea leaves. If people cannot sell their tea leaves it can affect their livelihoods.

53 Construction work should not be conducted during farming seasons as it can damage the crops.

The project will strive to avoid construction work during peak periods of cultivations.

Project Benefits 54 If the members of our local communities can

find temporary employment during the construction work, it would help people to earn additional incomes.

CEB will request the contractors to recruit more local labor wherever possible without bringing labor teams from outside, and to give equal treatment for men, women and youth.

Grievance Redress 55 Would there be a place for us to complain in

case we have problems during construction? CEB will establish a grievance redress mechanism for people to report any

234

No. Issues raised & Suggestions Project’s Response 56 If our grievances and concerns are not heard,

it can lead to conflicts between villagers and the project implementers.

grievances/complaints if they encountered any problems. The grievance redress mechanism will ensure that all reported grievances and complaints are addressed efficiently.

Relocation and Resettlement 57 We do not support any form of

relocation/resettlement. If we were to be relocated, it has to be in a land located within the same village. Compensation should be at replacement cost to build a new house.

The project does not anticipate or encourage any physical displacements and relocation/resettlement.

Consultations with Women’s Groups - Key Issues Raised during RP Drafting

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

Design Related Information 1 When would the project commence? It is now planned to commence in the year

2021/2022 2 Would the project use the existing towers and

lines to increase the capacity? (New Anuradhapura–New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

There will be new conductors but installed at a higher elevation. Also, there will be new towers. The right-of-way of the line will also be expanded by about 4 m to each side.

3 We need more information on the final line route and dates of commencement.

CEB will continue to engage in consultations with communities, and the requested information will be disclosed to the public.

Land Acquisition 4 We do not like our land being acquired

without our consent Except for the construction of new substations, there will be no involuntary land acquisitions for transmission lines. When the construction work is over, people can use the land for the same purpose which it had been used but subject to few restrictions.

Displacements 5 Will the project cause displacements? The project does not anticipate any physical

displacements of the people. 6 We have only small plots of land. We do not

own any other land. We have to give this land to our children. They should be able to build their own houses in this land and live securely. Because of the lines, they would not be able to build two-storied houses

There is no restriction to build houses provided the people maintain the minimum required clearance, which is 4.6 m. Within these limits, building two-storied houses is possible.

7 Try to install the new towers in the same places where the old towers are. If they are

The project will use the existing RoW to install the towers. Location of new towers will be changed.

235

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

installed elsewhere people will lose more land. (New Anuradhapura–New Habarana SS 220 kV Transmission Line)

Loss of Livelihoods and Incomes 8 The distance between the existing line and

the ground level is very low. It is insecure for people’s lives; and people cannot cultivate even banana clumps or lemon trees under the line. People who come to clear the wayside leaves cut the trees that we plant under the lines. Good if the height of the lines is raised so that we can plant some trees underneath.

Trees that are below 5 m in height can be planted under the lines. CEB will look into this issue, and see that contractors assigned for way-leaves clearance comply with these standards.

9 Project should not damage our cinnamon and paddy cultivations. Construction work should avoid cultivation periods. Short term crops should be introduced

The project will strive to minimize damages to crops, cultivations and trees. If unavoidable, all losses will be compensated. Also, will schedule the construction work during off-seasons wherever possible. 10 Project can damage the coconut trees

11 The project should not damage our tea plantations as it is our main source of livelihood. Avoid construction of transmission towers in tea grown areas. Also, ensure that tea plants are not damaged by felling big trees. Further, if heavy machinery and vehicles are used for construction work, they should not damage the tea plants. Any damages to tea plants and loss of income should be compensated.

The project will take maximum efforts to avoid/minimize damages to tea plantations. Any damages to tea plants will be compensated.

12 If rubber and coconut trees are removed, people dependent on them will permanently lose their incomes. Project should support restoration of such plantations in addition to compensation for lost trees.

In the assessment of compensation for affected rubber and coconut trees, time taken to re-establish the trees will also be taken into account. The environmental management plan of the project will include provisions for supporting the restoration of those plantations.

Land Devaluation 13 Our land values will decrease and may not be

able to sell. Compensation should be paid considering the future value. Compensation amounts should not be low.

Fair compensation for devaluation of land will be paid by the project as per the estimates of the Divisional Secretary.

Compensation 14 The project will cause removal of our trees.

Would the project pay compensation to us? Project will pay compensation for the affected trees. The Divisional Secretary will assess

236

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

the value of the trees and the amount of compensation.

15 If the construction work damages our cultivations, we should be compensated. We are dependent on seasonal cultivations. And we cultivate by taking loans. If our cultivations were destroyed, we will not be able to repay the loans.

Compensation will be paid for affected crops and cultivations.

16 People will lose their land for towers. This will particularly affect people who have small plots of land. Fair compensation should be paid for land lost for towers

Compensation for the land used for the construction of towers will be paid.

17 Would the project pay compensation for land over which the lines are erected?

Compensation for all land over which the transmission lines traverse cannot be paid. However, if the land values will decrease due to transmission lines or towers, such land will be compensated.

18 All compensation for losses should be paid prior to the commencement of construction work.

Project will ensure that full compensation is paid to the affected parties prior to handing over the sites to contractors.

Personal Safety 19 We hear noises especially in the nights and

on rainy days, and sometimes see fire flickers on the lines. This causes us anxiety and fear that lines will fall on our houses. We sleep alone with our children when our husbands go to guard the farms in the night. There is nobody to help us if some accident happened to us.

CEB uses internationally accepted standards in the installation of the transmission lines. Therefore, the potential for lines to fall down or cause accidents is rather remote.

20 Will the project affect our electronic goods such as using satellite cables to watch TV?

It is unlikely that transmission lines to cause impacts on electronic goods.

21 Would the lines and towers trigger lightening and affect especially the houses located closer to towers?

It is unlikely. CEB adopts proper earthing methods to control lightening impacts on towers and lines.

22 We fear that lines and towers will increase lightening. After Kukule Ganga power station was built, lightening in this area increased. Electric appliances in some households were burnt. Coconut trees were destroyed.

23 We spend most of our time in our tea and cinnamon gardens. We are not a burden to anybody and not indebted either because of our livelihood. If towers cause lightening, we

237

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

will lose our freedom to work open airs. We fear that we will lose this freedom. Our safety should be ensured.

24 Would the project affect safety of the people? If lines traverse houses, we will have to live in fear for the rest of our lives. Children may not be able to fly kites. Children may climb the towers and meet with accidents.

Wherever possible, the project will try to avoid lines traversing directly over houses and the installation of towers closer to settlements. Moreover, lines will not be installed over tall trees or closer to such trees. All tall trees above the height of 5 m will be removed prior to line installation.

25 Towers should be installed in paddy fields or non-populated areas. Area around towers should be fenced off to avoid children climbing the towers.

26 We have no objection to lines traversing paddy fields or highlands. But if they go over the tall trees and houses, it will create safety issues.

27 We will raise objections if lines traverse our houses. Avoid lines traversing houses. We need peace of mind, to live without fear and the safety of our children. We value our safety more than our trees.

28 Safety issues should be looked into. Lines can fall down. Lightening can cause problems. Peacocks will be entrapped in the lines and will die. Landslides can destabilize towers. If towers are not maintained properly, there will be possibility of them falling down.

All risk factors will be studied, and necessary safety measures will be taken to avoid or control those risk factors.

29 People believe that those who live closer to lines and towers are more vulnerable to get cancer.

There is no scientific evidence on the impacts of electricity lines and towers on cancer.

30 What would be the impact if the line traversed closer to our houses?

Wherever possible, CEB will try to avoid lines traversing houses or closer to houses. However, there will be situations that are unavoidable totally. People will not be able to plant trees that grow beyond 5 m in height. The houses to be built should maintain the minimum clearance which is 4.6 m.

Influx of Labor Teams 31 We do not know how the project will affect us

during its construction period. Perhaps we will have problems with contractor’s labor teams. Will there be a place for us to make our complaints if we experienced any difficulties?

The project will establish a grievance redress mechanism (GRM), and contact details of which will be shared with the people. Aggrieved parties can report their complaints and grievances to the GRM

238

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

32 Contractors should be responsible to ensure that their labor teams do not create problems to the villagers.

Contractors are responsible to maintain labor standards including the discipline of the laborers. A code of conduct will be introduced to the laborers. Contractors will be requested to recruit local labor as much as possible so that establishing labor camps can be avoided. CEB will monitor the performance of the contractor as well as his labor teams.

33 There may be safety issues for children and women if outsiders come and work for long periods. Drug abuse may spread.

34 Precautions must be taken to prevent any form of social issues to be triggered by contractor’s labor teams especially for women and children.

Project Benefits 35 If the project can provide employment for

local people in construction work, it will bring additional incomes for their families

Contractors will be requested to recruit local labor as much as possible, and to provide equal treatment for men, women, and youth.

36 People will be able to provide meals to the workers and earn an income

Such possibilities can be explored and will be encouraged.

37 People will be able to open up small businesses and sell tea and other necessities to the laborers

Construction Related Issues 38 Construction contractors should use alternate

routes to transport their construction materials without damaging our properties and crops.

The project would look into the possibility of using alternate access roads to minimize crop damages. All safety measures will be adopted to avoid accidents. All safety measures to including the proper disposal of construction debris and noise and dust control mechanisms will be included in the environmental management plan of the project which has to be implemented by the contractor.

39 Transportation of equipment and material can cause crop damages. Alternate roads should be used for transport. Accidents can cause due to movement of heavy vehicles. We will also suffer from noise and dust.

40 Excavated earth from towers should not block the drainage system

41 Use of heavy vehicles and machinery for construction work can damage our roads

Damages to roads will be avoided. If any damages occurred, they will be restored by the contractor.

Relocation and Resettlement 42 If people have to be relocated, compensation

should be paid to build a house in the remaining part of the land. Then it will not affect their livelihoods. If alternate land is provided, it should be from the same village or the adjoining village. That arrangement too

The project does not envisage physical displacements of people. Therefore, relocation and resettlement issues may not arise.

239

No. Issues Raised & Suggestions Project’s Response

will not affect our livelihoods. New lands should be in safer areas to live.

43 If people are to be relocated, alternate land should be given closer to present habitats. They should be free of elephant threats and facilities with water, electricity etc. and safer for women and children. Adequate compensation should be given to build a house.

44 Some of us have inherited the land from our generations. Land values are very high in this area. We cannot leave such land and resettle elsewhere.

45 We cannot resettle elsewhere because our livelihoods are established here.
