The project would continue to finance structural improvements but would break with the prevailing build-neglect-rebuild approach by giving greater emphasis to establishing sustainable mechanisms for financing regular O&M and dam rehabilitation, enhancing State capabilities to manage these critical assets through institutional strengthening, and introducing risk- informed dam safety management. The project development objective (PDO) is to increase the safety of selected dams and to strengthen institutional capacity for dam safety in participating States. Project Components include: Component 1: Institutional Strengthening (US$ 40 million): This component supports further strengthening of dam safety management in the country through institutional modernization. A major focus of activities under this component will be increasing the oversight of dam safety by developing dam safety guidelines and by strengthening the capacity of various dam safety actors to carry out the regulatory functions defined in the proposed Dam Safety Bill, which has been passed by the Lok Sabha. Component 2: Risk-informed Asset Management and Sustainable Financing (US$ 25 million): This component supports identifying long-term funding needs for dam safety based on asset management and risk assessment financing for dam safety. This component would focus on: (i) improving the efficiency of public financing; (ii) generating alternative revenue streams Alternative revenue streams that could be developed include tourism and water recreational activities, fisheries, and other innovative schemes such as floating solar panels; and (iii) establishing financing arrangements for dam safety (e.g., dedicated budget lines). Component 3: Rehabilitation of Dams and Appurtenant Structures (US$ 200 million): This component supports improving the safety of dams through structural and non-structural interventions. Structural measures could include measures for seepage reduction (e.g., grouting, geo-membranes), hydrological and structural safety measures (e.g., additional spillways, fuse plugs), enhancing the reliability of operational facilities (e.g., gates), rehabilitating foundation deficiencies, strengthening dam concrete/embankment structures, and improving basic dam facilities (e.g., access roads). Non-structural measures could include standardized dam safety instrumentation, monitoring, assessment and reporting protocols for dam health; flood forecasting and early warning systems; integrated reservoir operations including streamflow forecasting for climate resilient dam management; preparation and implementation of EAPs; preparation and implementation of sediment management plans; and revised operational rule curves to account for climate change. 1 Component 4: Project Management (US$ 15 million): This component will ensure effective implementation of project activities and monitoring and evaluating project implementation progress, outputs and outcomes. The component will support: (i) establishment of the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU), which will oversee and coordinate activities of the implementing agencies of the project, supported by a Engineering and Management Consultant (EMC), which is currently being procured; (ii) establishment and operations of State level Project Management Units (SPMUs) within State implementing agencies, which can hire experts in various fields as and when needed on a contractual basis; (iii) setting up of a monitoring and evaluation system; and (iv) establishment of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control system. This component will also finance consultancies, as well as related material, office equipment and incremental operating costs. The project will provide investment and technical support for the establishment of a Management Information System and Information and Communication Technology systems. 1.2 SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION – CHHAPI DAM The Chhapi Irrigation Project across Chhapi river, a tributary of Kali Sindh river was constructed in the year 2003 to create irrigation and drinking water supply capacity.

Hence, a separate agency was contracted to conduct the Environment and Social Impact Assessment to use it as tool for decision-making on the sub-project. Specifically, the objective of the ESIA is: i. To identify, evaluate and manage the environment and social risks and impacts of the project in a manner consistent with the ESSs; ii. To adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach to the project’s E&S risks i.e. a) anticipate and avoid risks and impacts; b) minimize or reduce risks and impacts to acceptable levels, if not avoidable; c) once risks and impacts have been minimized or reduced, mitigate; and (d) where significant residual impacts remain, compensate for or offset them, where technically and financially feasible; iii. To help identify differentiated impacts on the disadvantaged or vulnerable and to identify differentiated measures to mitigate such impacts, wherever applicable; iv. To assess the relevance and applicability of environmental and social institutions, systems, laws, regulations and procedures in the assessment, development and implementation of projects, whenever appropriate; identify gaps, if any exist, and v. To assess borrower’s existing capacity, gaps therein, and identify areas for enhanced capacity towards management of E&S risks. 1.4 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY OF ESIA The following approach has been adopted for ESIA: i. Study sub-project information, proposed interventions, their magnitude and locations and carry out assessment of each proposed intervention to identify the magnitude of E&S risk and impacts; ii. Conduct site visit to understand baseline environment and social settings, proposed activities under the sub-project, their location and sensitivity, if any. iii. Conduct stakeholder consultations to help identify potential stakeholders; to provide information on the proposed interventions; to identify issues and concerns; and finally ascertain appropriate mechanisms for continued engagement iv. Prepare baseline data essential for impact assessment in immediate vicinity area of proposed interventions from secondary sources, such as land-use, protected areas in vicinity, habitation, access roads, ascertain presence of indigenous (schedule tribe)/vulnerable people, etc. v. Review relevance and applicability of national and state legal requirements and Bank’s ESF policy, standards and directives and preliminary assessment of impacts as per ESS framework (2-8), suggest mitigation measures in accordance with the requirements of each applicable standard vi. Undertake institutional assessment to identify existing capacities & relevant gaps to manage E&S risks and impacts Formats used for collection of the above information, checklists used for consultations and photographs towards preparation of the Draft ESIA report are available in the project files 8 Chapter LEGAL, REGULATORY, AND 2 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK India has well defined environmental and social regulatory framework. The regulation applicability depends on nature of work and location of work. Broadly legislation can be divided into four categories viz environmental, social, wildlife protection, and forests conservation. The applicability of environmental laws to dam are mostly at setting up new dams compared to rehabilitation stage. The applicability analysis of regulations pertaining to all the above four categories is carried out and summarized at section 2.1. Central Water Commission, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India has also prepared “Operational Procedures for Assessing and Managing Environmental Impacts in Existing Dam Projects� as a guiding document for the dam owners to systematically address in advance the environmental safeguard requirements and have discussed in detail all applicable legal requirement. Reference has been drawn from this document as well while carrying out applicability analysis. The World Bank ESF comprises Policy, 10 ESSs (ESS1 to ESS10) and 2 Directives. The applicability of each Standard to the proposed rehabilitation proposals and standard specific requirements is analysed and presented at Section 2.2. 2.1 APPLICABILITY ANALYSIS OF INDIAN REGULATION The regulatory applicability analysis to the proposed rehabilitation work has been carried out considering nature of improvements, methodology of construction/improvement, material requirement, sourcing and transportation mode, and waste generation.

The department has two distinct divisions – IGND (Indira Gandhi Nahar Division) and Water Resources Division. Water Resources Division is who will be responsible for implementing the project and is headed by Principal Secretary. The functions of WRD are:  Construction of major, medium and minor irrigation projects,  Operation and maintenance of existing tanks, canals and other irrigation structures.  Flood control measures and floods related remedial measures.  Construction of irrigation structures under various special schemes like PMKSY, MJSA, AIBP, JICA etc.  Collection of revenue pertaining to sale of water from tanks irrigating more than 1000 ha of land. Collection of irrigation charges in respect of tanks Engineering irrigating less than 1000 ha is assigned to the Patwaris of the Revenue Department.  Construction and maintenance of the rest houses of irrigation department, office buildings, residential buildings of the staff, gardens, parks, roads etc. WRD Rajasthan presently does not have inhouse trained manpower to address E&S issues. Chief Engineer at SPMU and Executive Engineer at dam are addressing them on need basis WRD has a working RTI process to respond to information requests. However, WRD has no formal system in place for redressing external complaints. . 23 Chapter OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND 3 SOCIAL CONDITIONS The baseline conditions are analysed based on secondary information and site observations and are presented in following order Physical, Biological, Protected area and Socio-economic profile. 3.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Land Use/ Land Cover The project surrounding area land use and environmental sensitivity was analysed using Remote Sensing & GIS techniques. Land use/ land cover map within 5 Km radius of dam is presented at Figure 3.1. As can be seen from the map, present land use upstream of dam is waterbody (reservoir) surrounded by deciduous forest on both sides and on downstream side along both the banks there are deciduous and scrub forest area. However, as discussed under Chapter 1 on project description, the project activities will be confined to dam body only and no activities are proposed beyond existing dam boundaries. Villages in proximity i.e. within 5 km distance from dam on downstream side have been identified as Amrit Kheri, Bairagarh, Bindayaka, Haripura, Kher Khera, Sendari, Semli, Uchawada, Dudhiya Kheri, Biloniya and Naya Gaon of Jhalawar District. These are considered as vicinity villages which may get impacted due to project activities. Figure 3.1: Land use/ Land cover Map of 5 km radius around Dam site 24 Ambient Air Quality and Noise Site-specific data of ambient air quality and sound levels at project site is not available. However, general observation is made during site visit that area is free of air and noise pollution. This is substantiated by the fact that the dam is away from habitation, traffic and industries and are no anthropogenic sources of air/noise pollution in the vicinity. Road to dam site is private and public access is restricted. Therefore, ambient air is clean and sound levels are observed low. They are expected to be well within the prescribed limits. Water Quality Rajasthan State Pollution control Board monitor the status of water quality of Chhapi river near Chhapi Dam site. Result of water quality analysis is given in Annexure I. The water temperature varies from 19 0C to 30 0C. pH or hydrogen ion concentration of water is the measure of Acidity or Alkalinity of water and is an important indicator of its quality. pH of river water is ranged from 7.85 to 8.31 shows alkaline nature of water. Conductivity is a measure of capacity of any substance or solution to conduct electric current. As per the analysis results, the concentration of Conductivity varied in surface water from a maximum level of 370 µmho/cm to 250 µmho/cm. Hardness of river water observed from 80 mg/l to 148 mg/l. Alkalinity can be defined as the capacity of water to neutralize any strong acid. The concentration of the Alkalinity as CaCO3 has varied in surface water from a maximum level of 116 mg/l to a minimum level of 64 mg/l. Chloride occurs naturally in all types of waters. The most important source of Chlorides in the waters is the discharge of domestic sewage. Chloride as Cl has varied in surface water from a maximum level of 76 mg/l to a minimum level of 2 8 mg/l. As can be seen from the data, the water quality is reasonably good. A comparison with Water Quality Criteria of Central Pollution Control Board show that samples fall under Class ‘B’. In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has developed a concept of designated best use. According to this, out of the several uses of water of a particular body, the use which demands highest quality is termed its designated best use. Five designated best uses have been identified. This classification helps the water quality managers and planners to set water quality targets and design suitable restoration programs for various water bodies. Class A corresponds to Drinking Water Source without conventional treatment but after disinfection and Class B corresponds Outdoor Bathing (organised). Natural Hazards Potential of natural hazards such as flooding and earthquake is not significant. Design flood has been revised from 4370 cumec to 5547 cumec and spillway capacity of the project at MWL has been calculated as 6240 in PST so its adequate to pass the revised flood. Project falls in earthquake zone II, there is no revision and dam design has taken care of this aspect as well. Bureau of Indian Standards [IS 1893 (Part I):2002], has grouped the country into four seismic zones, viz. Zone II, III, IV and V. Zone II is the least active and Zone V is the most active. 25 3.2 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT Flora Jhalawar is located in the south east corner of Rajasthan at the edge of the Malwa plateau. Major forests are of dry-deciduous or mixed deciduous type consisting of Anogeissus pendula in pure strands or mixed with Diospyros melanoxylon and Tectona grandis, Acacia catechu, Anogeissus latifolia, Butea monosperma and Madhuca indica which are uniformly distributed in the study area (Sharma, 2002). Other common tree species reported from the area are Azadriachta indica, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, Cassia fistula, Terminalis arjuna, Terminalia chembula, Holoptelea integrifolia, Boswellia serrata, Salvadora oleoides, Lannea coromandelica, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus religiosa, Emblica officinalis, Kydia calycina and Thevatia peruviana, etc. Bamboo is commonly found in the depressions and on moderate slopes. Shrubs in the area were mainly represented by Euphorbia, Lantana camara, Jatropha, Leptadenida pyrotechnica, Calligonum polygonoides, Calotropis procera, Acacia jacquemontti, Ziziphus nummularia, etc. Fauna & Avifauna Fauna: The hillock forests, scrub forest, streams provide habitat for wildlife in the area. Rhesus Monkey, Jungle Cat, Leopard, Common Mongoose, Jackal, Fox, Striped Hyena, Palm civet, Otter, Blue bull, Spotted Dear, Sambhar, Wild Boar, Porcupine, Indian Hare, Grey Musk Shrew and Bats are reported from the forest area (Forest Working Plan (2013-14 to 2022- 23), Jhalwar) Indian Palm Squirrel were sighted frequently species in the study area. Indian leopard, Tiger, striped hyena, golden jackal, Bengal fox, jungle cat, porcupine and sloth bear are also reported from the area. Avifauna: A total of 140 bird species belonging to 22 orders and 65 families were reported by Yadav (2018) in the Jhalawar Forest Division. The order Passeriformes most dominant with 72 species and 28 families followed by Anatidae family with 14 species. Data for residential status indicates that 133 bird species are resident, 48 bird species are migrant. Proposed activities remain limited to dam premises and therefore no risk is envisaged on flora and fauna in the surrounding areas. Fish & Fisheries Fishes are the integral component of stream and rivers. Chhapi is a reservoir wherein major carps contribute substantially. As per forest working Plan of Jhalawar Forest Division six common species are reported from the area which are Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Labeo bata, Wallaga attu, Aorichthys seenghala, and Hetropneustes fossilis are reported from the area. These species are present in reservoir and also in river. None of the proposed activities under the sub-project will impact water quality of river/reservoir and therefore, there is no 26 risk/impact on fish fauna. 3.3 PROTECTED AREA Nearest Protected Area Darah Wildlife Sanctuary is about 41.50 km and Shergarh Sanctuary is about 31.60 km from the Chhapi Dam location of the Project. The location of Darah Wildlife Sanctuary, Mukundara Tiger Reserve and Shergarh Sanctuary in relation to Chhapi dam Project are shown below. Figure 3.2: Map showing distances of protected areas from Chhapi Dam 3.4 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT The dam is located in the district Jhalawar. Eleven villages namely Amrit Kheri, Bairagarh, Bindayaka, Haripura, Kher Khera, Sendari, Semli, Uchawada, Dudhiya Kheri, Biloniya and Naya Gaon have been identified as falling in 5 km area on downstream side of the dam.

Disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups: Illiterate persons, physically challenged, women and elderly would be key stakeholders – requiring special focus and outreach to ensure that they are well informed about the provisions of the EAP. Communities welcomed such interactions and indicated that they would prefer Dam authorities conduct one such face -to- face meeting once a month at a convenient location to inform of developments/interventions relevant to them. They welcomed other means of information such as advertisements in the local papers etc, but preferred to have face to face interactions at least once a month. 35 Chapter ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL 5 RISKS AND IMPACTS Based on the relevance of each Standard, as identified in the chapter on Legal, Regulatory and Institutional Framework, ensuing sections summarize the environmental and social risks and impacts likely due to the proposed interventions followed by the mitigation measures considered, for each relevant Standard. Table below, presents the Risk and impacts grouped in respect of the applicable ESS identified in chapter 3 earlier: Applicable ESS Risk and Impacts area assessed ESS1- Assessment and Management of The risks and Impacts is carried out as per Environmental and Social Risks and requirement of this standard Impacts ESS2- Labour and Working Conditions Types of Workers/labour and working conditions ESS3- Resource Efficiency, Pollution Impact on Physiography/land use/Geology/Soil Prevention and Management Impacts on water resources/Water Quality Impact on Air quality/Noise levels Impact due waste generation/disposal ESS4- Community Health and Safety Impacts on Community Health and safety 5.1 ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF E&S RISK AND IMPACT (ESS 1) Proposed intervention are categorised as civil, electromechanical and paint work requiring labour involvement for works and their stay at site for a period of about 2 years, use of resources such as water and power during construction, pollution generation from storage and handling of material, generation of waste, use of paints and other chemicals for construction activities, transportation of raw material, etc. In addition, labour intensive work always involves risks of accidents such as working at heights, working on upstream body of dam, underground activities, etc. As all the proposed structural interventions are within the dam premises or the dam structure itself, no adverse impacts are not envisaged on communities including on the disadvantaged or vulnerable people. On the contrary, all communities including disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups will indirectly benefit from these proposed interventions that shall enhance dam safety. However, in case of non-structural interventions relating to early flood warning systems having siren systems, broadcasting facilities and Emergency Action Plans, project will need to reach out to the disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups and involve them mainly during implementation. 5.2 LABOUR AND WORKING CONDITIONS (ESS 2) Water Resources Department, Rajasthan shall contract agencies to undertake civil works, agencies/firms to support core-functions; primary suppliers of material/equipment and 36 other implementation support partners, engaged from anywhere in the country. Construction works will require labour force and associated goods and services. Based on the construction package sizes and the project implementation schedule, the peak construction workforce/manpower has been estimated as 40-50. These will be skilled and semi-skilled workforce of contractors and expected to stay on site over a period of 2 years. In addition, there will be floating population of suppliers, transporters of material and their labour who will keep on moving in and out of the site during the work period of 2 years. Construction contractors are expected to stay at/near dam, set up construction equipment and machinery near work location at pre-determined /approved sites. Project shall comprise the following types of workers: 1. Direct workers: Direct workers will include the project managers and supervisors, who are employees of WRD. The estimated number of direct workers is not likely to exceed 30 as per existing institutional arrangements and practices of WRD. 2. Contracted workers: All the work force deployed by the Contractors will be deemed to be contracted workers. The Contractor(s) might further engage multiple subcontractors. All work force of all such sub-contractors will be also deemed to be contracted workers. These will also include migrant workers as all the required labor will not be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons, such as worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. Migrant Workers: The migrant workers are that, who are employed for the Project but does not belong to the Project region and are not normally expected to return to their places of residence after work shift hours. The number of migrant workers in any contract package, would depend on decisions made by contractors, based on the locally available workforce and their skills for Project construction requirements. The migrant workers could be at all levels and include unskilled and semiskilled construction labour and could even comprise combination of male and women labour force. The migrant workers are either directly engaged by the contractor or through labour contractors, who supply the work force as per the needs of the contractors. 3. Primary Supply Workers: No primary supplier or primary supply workers are anticipated as all goods and services essential to the core functions of the project shall be provided by the contractor – through a contract by Rajasthan WRD. 4. Community Workers: Community workers are envisaged under the Emergency Action Plans, who will be mostly volunteers for implementing parts of the EAP. Potential Labour risks: Following are the potential risks associated with workers/labours engaged in execution of planned intervention works. Impact/Risks on Community 1. Increased risk of spread of communicable diseases 37 2. Waste generation from labour colony can pollute drinking water sources of community Impacts/Risks for Workforce 1. Safety issues while at work like injuries/accidents/ fatalities leading to even death, while at work; 2. Short terms effects due to exposure to dust and noise levels, while at work 3. Long term effects on life due to exposure to chemical /hazardous wastes 4. Inadequate accommodation facilities at work force camps, including inadequate sanitation and health facilities 5. Non-payment of wages 6. Discrimination in Employment (e.g. abrupt termination of the employment, working conditions, wages or benefits etc.) 7. Sexual harassment at work 8. Security of women work force 9. Absence or inadequate or inaccessible emergency response system for rescue of labour/workforce in situations of natural calamities. 10. Health risks of labour relating to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases In addition, other risks that would be applicable for all types of workers would be as follows: 1. Unclear terms and conditions of employment 2. Discrimination and denial of equal opportunity in hiring and promotions/incentives/training opportunities 3. Denial for workers’ rights to form workers organizations, etc. 4. Absence of a grievance mechanism for labour to seek redressal of their grievances/issues 5.3 RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT (ESS 3) Impact on Physiography The dam is operational since 2003 and the present interventions involve only civil and electromechanical works to improve dam operation and safety. All the work will be carried out at one location i.e. at dam (including premises), therefore, physiography will not change due to any of the proposed interventions. Therefore, there will be no significant impact on physiography of the region due to the proposed interventions. Impact on Land/Geology All project components are proposed to occur within existing dam (and premises) with no land acquisition. Therefore, impact on land and geology will be limited to sourcing of construction material or related to disposal of construction waste only. The civil works will require different construction materials such as earth, aggregate, boulders, and sand. The requirement of such material is not large and will be sourced from already operational and approved mines/quarries. The construction waste generation is also likely to be minimal and will be disposed off or reused for land filling or levelling purposes. However, requisite mitigation measures will be taken to minimise impact further. 38 The various ‘resource efficacy’ options during design include optimize usage of material generated as construction waste from repair activities and thereby reduce potential impact due to dumping etc., and achieve minimum construction footprint. Impact on Soil Repair sites will impact soil due to repair and demolition works such as renovation of disturbed u/s riprap, spillage during repair works of steps on d/s face of dam, parapet walls, spillway crest/glacis, treatment of honey-combed U/S area, lift joints for concrete dam, operation of construction equipment and machinery and waste generation thereof, etc. There is also possibility of contamination of soil from leakage and spillage during handling and storage of fuels and chemicals. Muck Disposal: The activities that generate construction debris and/or spoil are removal of damaged rip- raps, other repair activities such as repair works of steps on d/s face of dam, parapet walls, spillway crest/glacis, treatment of honey-combed U/S area, lift joints for concrete dam, etc. This being largely repair work, quantities have not been estimated and they are not expected to be significant to create disposal problem. Nevertheless, all the construction debris/muck generated needs to be disposed off in a planned manner to avoid adverse impacts on soil. Impacts on Water Resources The proposed intervention activities are not expected to impact drainage pattern or water resources (ground or surface) in any way as the proposed improvement interventions are neither crossing, altering or disturbing drainages nor impacting ground water resource in any form. The water for construction will be sourced from dam and as such requirement will be limited. However, use of water resources will be optimised before start of work through application of Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention techniques which will include optimal use planning, recycle and reuse option. WRD along with contractor will prepare project specific water use and water balance analysis based on detailed design and prepare an action plan for water conservation and management and submit to SPMU/CPMU/WB for approval. Impacts on Water Quality Construction related impacts and risks for water quality include: a) accidental release of fuel or chemicals and contamination from poor waste practices affecting surface and groundwater b) contamination from construction machinery working near water bodies c) discharges and disturbance of soil and sediment that drain into surface waters d) Generation of sanitary wastes from camp site and construction sites finding way to water bodies Impact on Ambient Air Quality As discussed in baseline, ambient air quality in the area is pristine and without any significant anthropogenic sources of pollution. Construction activities can give rise to dust emissions if 39 not effectively managed and have the potential to affect receptors near to the main construction sites due to dust generated from demolition, excavation, operation of construction equipment and machinery, increased movement of vehicles, onto the local road network. However, this impact is expected to be localised and temporary Earth works will result in exposed areas of soil which will potentially generate dust when it is windy, with dust potentially being generated when winds blow at all times of day or night, not just during active periods of construction. The level and distribution of dust emissions will vary according to the duration and location of activity, weather conditions, and the effectiveness of suppression measures. Gaseous emission during construction will be from machinery, equipment and vehicles used for material transportation. The operation of vehicles and equipment will result in emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen as most of the commercial vehicles use diesel fuel. Impact on air quality due to emissions from vehicles will be in the areas immediately adjacent to work area. Additional vehicle movements generated during the construction phase will have the potential to influence local air quality at sensitive receptors located at close proximity to road and pollutant concentration is likely to reduce with increased distance from road. The impacts will therefore apply mostly to the villages en route the dam. As the project is presently operational and the interventions are not going to alter the project operation in any manner, no operational phase impacts are envisaged on ambient air quality. Impact of Noise and Vibration Sources of noise will be from the vehicles and equipment for construction at the project site. Due to construction activity in the area, noise levels will increase during the period of construction, however, they will remain limited to the work area mainly where construction activity will progress. Additionally, noise levels will increase on approach roads due to increased traffic. Impact of noise generation due to operation of construction machines and equipment is the exposure of workers operating these machines and other who are working in the surrounding. Such impacts can become significant if these workers are exposed to high noise for long hours continuously. Impact of Waste Generation Migratory population is expected to reside in the area during peak construction period. Proper sanitary and solid waste management facilities would be provided at the labour colonies. In the absence of proper solid waste management plan, there can be serious impacts of land and water pollution due to indiscriminate disposal. In addition, there will be odour issues and health impacts. There will be an influx of labourers and other service providers into the project area. Sewage and solid waste will be generated from the colonies. It is essential that from the planning stage, sewage management and solid waste disposal facilities should be 40 conceptualized to maintain the health of the people and the environment. Solid waste generated from the colonies during construction phase will be disposed off as per Solid Wastes Management Rules, 2016. As most of the proposed activities involve repair and renovation, it is expected that construction and demolition waste in the form of debris will be generated. This being largely repair work, quantities have not been estimated and they are not expected to be significant to create disposal problem. Nevertheless, all the construction debris/muck generated needs to be disposed off in a planned manner to avoid adverse impacts on soil/land. All such wastes will be handled in compliance with Construction and Demolition Waste Rules, 2016. Project interventions include substantial amount of electro-mechanical work such as repair of hoist, providing standby generator, providing and installing armored H.T. service line and L.T. armored cable for control room, gallery and gantry, epoxy thermal sealing & epoxy paint on vertical gate of dam etc. These activities will generate significant amount of waste in terms of replaced parts, packaging material, empty containers, use and disposal of oil & grease, iron scrap, etc. there will be a mix of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. It is important to have a plan ready for disposal of such wastes before start of the activity. Contractor is obliged to provide first-aid/basic medical facilities to labour at site especially during accident/emergency which is likely to generate bio-medical waste, although quantity is not expected to be significant, this needs to be managed to avoid indiscriminate dumping as impacts could be serious. WRD along with contractor will prepare project specific muck / debris/Solid Waste disposal plan and provide sufficient site for such disposals. 5.4 COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY (ESS 4) Heath safety and security risks and impacts on project affected communities especially on vulnerable people are not considered significant as communities are not directly involved or getting impacted. However, the project construction would involve engagement of labour, transportation and handling of material, civil construction and electromechanical works and such activities will impact the community and increase the risks. Engagement of labour for project work and their stay at site over a 2 years’ time, will increase the risks of crimes including gender based violence. Waste generation from labour camps/colony if not handled properly, will pollute the water resources used by community for drinking leading to health impacts. Migratory workforce may be bringing in new and infectious diseases not known to area. Transportation of material will increase the traffic on village roads. There are 11 villages in vicinity of dam site where traffic will be impacted due to increased movement of traffic and thus impact the community by way of increased noise and air pollution. In addition, this will also increase the risk of accidents. 41 Similarly, civil construction and electromechanical works will lead to pollution generation in the form of air emissions and noise generation, which will remain local and are not expected to impact the community. Construction waste and electromechanical work waste, especially the hazardous waste if not disposed off properly have the potential of impacting the surrounding community. 42 Chapter ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL 6 MANAGEMENT PLAN 6.1 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN E&S impacts/risks for this sub-project Dam is Low risk, as identified in the previous chapter. These risks and impacts can be mitigated by appropriately implementing management measures. Based on the ESIA following plans/procedures have been identified to effectively mitigate the environment and social impacts and risks of the proposed interventions:  Labour Management Procedure including GRM The Procedure will set out the way in which project workers will be managed, in accordance with the requirements of national law and the bank’s ESS Standards and will address the way in which this ESS will apply to different categories of project workers. It covers the terms and conditions of employment, non-discrimination and equal opportunity, worker’s organization and welfare. Protecting the workforce, establishing minimum age for labour to prevent child labour will be defined in the procedure. The responsibility to manage any adverse impacts would be clearly reflected in the contractual obligations of the Contractor with appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance. A grievance mechanism will be provided for all direct workers and contracted to raise workplace concerns and workers will be informed of the grievance mechanism at the time of recruitment along with the measures put in place to protect them against any reprisal for its use. Mechanism will be easily accessible to all project workers. It will be designed to address concerns promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that provides timely feedback to those concerned in a language they understand, without any retribution, and will operate in an independent and objective manner. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E&S staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP II in the state. It will be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor.  OHS Measures Measures relating to occupational health and safety applies to the project as it involves engagement of workers. The OHS measures will take into account the General Environment Health and Safety Guidelines and applicable legal requirements. The OHS measures will be designed and implemented to address: i. identification of potential hazards to project workers, particularly those that may be life threatening; ii. provision of preventive and protective measures, including modification, substitution, or elimination of hazardous conditions or substances; iii. training on occupational safety and health, and maintenance of training records iv. Provision of personal protective equipment without expense to the project workers. 43 v. documentation and reporting of occupational accidents, diseases and incidents; vi. emergency prevention and preparedness and response arrangements to emergency situations; vii. remedies for adverse impacts such as occupational injuries, deaths, disability and disease viii. accident reporting and analysis procedure ix. system for regular review of OHS performance The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from E&S Staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP 2 in the state. It shall be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor.  GBV Risk Mitigation Guidelines The proposed structural interventions are extremely localized in nature and will be carried out in areas of restricted access – as normally all dams are. These structural interventions will not result in any project interface with local communities, the overall GBV rating for this dam intervention as per the Risk Assessment Tool is low. Hence, in accordance with the overall GBV Risk Mitigation Framework for the project, guidelines will be developed commensurate to the low risk category to address Gender Based Violence Risk before invitation of bids. The Plan will provide a set of measures such as orientation to all categories of labour including department staff/dam site personnel. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E&S Staff of Rajasthan WRD.  Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention Measures Keeping in view the risks and impacts of the proposed activities, WRD will prepare a set of measures to be implemented by the Contractors to ensure efficient use of resources and avoid/minimize the pollution from proposed interventions. The measures should address all possible impacts identified above, with respect to resource use and pollution generation from civil works including road repair, electromechanical and painting work and also from labour camps and colonies. It should focus on reuse/recycling; energy efficiency such as solar lights and cookers for colony/community kitchen for workers, where possible. The project’s demand for major raw material such as boulders, aggregate and sand for construction will be sourced through pre-existing authorized quarries, with valid environment clearance. To mitigate air and noise pollution from transportation, material storage and handling and construction activities, following measures should be included:  To ensure trucks are loaded only up to permitted capacities to prevent high emission  The ensure trucks used for transportation of material is covered by tarpaulin and provided tail board, so that en-route spillage and generation of fugitive dust are prevented.  Vehicles in good condition with valid PUC (Pollution Under Control) certificate shall be deployed during construction  Regular sprinkling of the water will be done on construction sites for dust suppression.  Mobile DG sets shall be used for lighting only during construction phase and they should meet emission and noise standards as per guidelines/standards issued by CPCB.  All the construction workers and other staff, who get directly exposed to dust, should necessarily be provided with dust masks. Workers in high noise area, will be provided 44 with ear muffs and their use will be monitored. Workers exposure (time duration) to high noise will also be controlled.  The use of noise producing equipment during night hours will be minimized to avoid the disturbance to locals and wild animals of surrounding area. To mitigate the risk of wastewater from construction site and colony finding its way to fresh water source without treatment, the following measures should be included:  All toilets and wash areas in worker’s colony have functional septic tanks and soak pit arrangements, of adequate capacity.  No discharge from oil/lube storage areas shall be directly discharged in to any open surface water channel/ streams.  Construction along the river bank/reservoir shall be done when surface water level is receded and clear construction area is available.  Storage of material and construction equipment should be kept away from the drainages to avoid any spillage and pollution of surface water. For solid and hazardous waste management, sites should be identified for disposal of construction waste, surplus excavated material, and other solid wastes; and appropriate permissions taken for dumping with restoration plan covering engineering and biological measures as appropriate. No dump site shall be located in forest area. WRD will share identified locations of muck or debris disposal sites with the contractor. The contractor will develop a muck and debris disposal plan after incorporating longitudinal and cross section references to assess volume or capacity of the disposal site and will submit muck/ debris disposal plan before commencement of the work at site. This action needs to be included in the Bid Document as one of the key requirements. WRD needs to prepare a plan to identify and quantify all the waste generated from electro- mechanical work include replaced parts with estimated quantities and categorisation as hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The plan should also identify the temporary secured and covered storage location till the time it is removed, contractors/vendors who will pick these parts/wastes; authorisation status of contractors for hazardous wastes. Measures should also cover cleanliness of the labour colony, provision of basic sold waste collection facilities and restrict dumping of solid waste on land or in water body. Contractor should provide bins for dumping of domestic waste from colony and ensure timely pick up and dumping at authorised location. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E&S staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP II in the state. It shall be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor.  Emergency Response Plan The plan will identify and implement measures to address emergency events, arising from both natural and man-made hazards, typically in the form of fire, explosions, leaks or spills or flooding of downstream area in case of dam break. The measures will be designed to 45 address the emergency event in a coordinated and expeditious manner, to prevent it from injuring the health and safety of the community, and to minimize, mitigate and compensate for any impacts that may occur. ERP will cover emergency preparedness and response activities, resources, and responsibilities, and will disclose appropriate information to affected communities, relevant government agencies, or other relevant parties. The Borrower will assist and collaborate with affected communities, relevant government agencies and other relevant parties in their preparations to respond effectively to an emergency. The plan so prepared should be dovetailed with district disaster management plan and state disaster management plan. The plan shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD by engaging expert consultants and is part of DRIP II activities; it should be ready before the invitation of bids.  Procedures for Stakeholder Engagement The Stakeholder Engagement Framework (SEF) will describe the timing, methods of engagement with stakeholders and range of information, distinguishing between project- affected parties and other interested parties, as well as the type of information to be sought from them. The procedures developed based on SEF will set out how stakeholders will be engaged throughout project preparation and implementation and describe the measures that will be used to remove obstacles to participation, and how the views of differently affected groups will be captured. Where applicable, the procedures will include differentiated measures to allow the effective participation of those identified as disadvantaged or vulnerable. The draft Framework will be prepared by CWC in discussion with Rajasthan WRD and will be disclosed. The Stakeholder Engagement Procedures will be developed specific to the proposed interventions at the site, prior to invitation of bids. Institutional Arrangement: As part of institutional strengthening for implementation of sub- projects, Environmental and Social staff will be engaged by the department to enable preparation of management plans as well subsequent implementation of mitigation measures during implementation. IA will hire experts from outside department or seek deputation of staff with relevant experience  Grievance Mechanism WRD shall establish and implement a grievance mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of concerns and grievances, from the communities and other stakeholders including implementation partners. It shall be proportionate to the potential risks and impacts of the project and be accessible and inclusive. The department will establish three levels of Grievance Mechanism: 1. A cell at each of the dam site headed by respective Executive Engineer 2. A cell at the SPMU headed by CE/PD 3. A committee at the state government level headed by Secretary to Government Details on the processes and procedures for the GRM will be provided in the Stakeholder Engagement Framework. 46 6.2 MONITORING REPORTING AND BUDGETING SPMU will prepare a monitoring, reporting and budgeting requirement to implement above plans and measures, which will be approved by CPMU - CWC. SPMU will prepare a quarterly monitoring report and submit to CPMU - CWC. 6.3 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS WRD, Rajasthan will agree on an Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) with the Bank covering the material measures and actions that are required for the project to achieve compliance with the ESSs over a specified timeframe. It will take into account the findings of the environmental and social assessment, the Bank’s environmental and social due diligence and the results of engagement with stakeholders. ESCP will clearly spell out the plans to be prepared with time frame and responsibility. 47 Annexure I Water Quality of Chhapi River Parameter 16-01- 19-02- 05-04- 28-06- 26-08- 18-10- 2019 2019 2019 2019 2019 2019 Temperature(0C) 19 20 28 30 30 26 pH 7.85 8.02 8.16 8.31 7.96 8.02 Conductivity (µmho/cm) 340 330 350 370 250 320 Total Dissolved Solids(mg/l) 212 236 266 282 190 234 Total Suspended Solids(mg/l) 13 17 [N/A] [N/A] [N/A] [N/A] Dissolved Oxygen(mg/l) 5.92 6.204 4.64 4.85 5.71 5.3 Total Hardness As CaCO3(mg/l) 116 124 136 148 80 92 Calcium as Ca (mg/l) 28.8 30.4 33.6 32 20.8 24 Magnesium as Mg (mg/l) 10.736 11.712 12.688 16.592 6.832 7.808 Chloride (mg/l) 68 76 32 40 28 36 Ammonia Nitrogen (mg/l) 0.54 0.48 0.72 0.62 0.48 0.44 Total Alkalinity (mg/l) 112 116 96 104 64 68 B.O.D.
