Remaining sites supports som e trees which may be required to cut or can be retained. Other sites which are not finalized may also support the vegetation which will be required to remove. Tree cutting shall be required at such sites and it should be carried out only after obtaining clearance from forest department. Only identified & permitted tree species shall be cut. As per state forest policy compensatory afforestation should be carried out in ratio of at least at 1:2 ratios. Compensatory afforestation shall be carried out by forest department. It is preferable that compensatory afforestation is carried out in nearby land patch. Survival rate of the afforestation carried out by forest department shall be monitored by IWAI. Apart from above compensatory plantation as part of environmental management, it is proposed to develop 15-20 m thick green belt all along the site boundary and along the roads within the site. Green belt shall be developed as per the following guidelines 1.1 Selection of Tree Species The Project involve movement of vehicle for transportation of material Thus emissions like particulate matter, SO 2, NOx & CO shall be generated at site. Also there is potential of generation of coal dust while unloading the materials at stock piles. Thus the plantation species tolerant to these pollutants and mitigate these from air shall be planted. Species selecting criteria is given below: 1. Tolerant to expected pollutants at site 2. Longer duration of foliage 3. Freely exposed foliage (adequate height of crown, openness of foliage, big leaves, small stomata apertures, stomata well exposed) 4. Leaves supported on firm petioles 1.2 Recommended Plant species Based on nature of pollutants following tree species are recommended to be planted S. No. Plant Species Common Name Habit 1.

Putranjiba roxburghii Putranjiba Tree 1.3 Plantation Methodology Components of green belts on roadside fence should be both absorbers of gases as well as of dust particles, including even lead particulates. Thus the choice of plants should include pollution tolerant shrubs of height 1 to 1.5 m and trees of 3 to 5m. The intermixing of trees and shrubs should be such that the foliage area density in vertical is almost uniform. For effective removal of pollutants, it is necessary that (i) plants should grow under conditions of adequate nutrient supply, (ii) absence of water stress and (iii) plants are well exposed to atmospheric conditions (light & breeze). Multiple rows of green belt shall be developed. Green belt should be pyramidal in shape. Plantation pattern shall be kept as given below:  Short trees and tall shrubs shall be planted as first row (from road) followed by tall tree plantation which will be followed by another row of medium and small trees and tall shrubs.  Planting of trees should be in appropriate encircling rows, each rows alternating the previous one to prevent further fanning and horizontal pollution dispersion;  Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage, it would be appropriate to have small shrubs in front and in between the tree spaces; 63 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6  The open areas between the process installations where trees cannot be planted should be covered with lawn grasses for effective trapping and absorptions of air pollutants.  Fast growing trees with thick canopy and perennial foliage should be selected so that the effective tree height with envisaged objective will be attained in minimum span of time. 1.4 Plantation Pattern A standard horticultural practice involving planting of saplings in pits of substantial dimensions i.e., 1m × 1m × 1m for big trees and along half of these dimensions for smaller trees and shrubs. The pits are then filled with earth, sand, silt and manure in pre-determined proportions. Saplings planted in such pits are watered liberally during dry months. 1.5 Time of Plantation Plantation of the tree sapling should be done only after the first shower during the rainy season. The best time for plantation is after 15 days from the day of first shower during rainy season. 1.6 Protection of Tree saplings Circular tree guard should be placed after the plantation of the saplings for the protection of these young plants from the ravages of cattle, sheep and goat and other animals. If tree saplings died or damage occur after placing the circular tree guard, timely replacements of damaged plant and thereafter care is important. 1.7 After Care & Monitoring The growing plants are cared at least for the first two years under favourable conditions of climate and irrigation. Nutrients in pits are supplemented and the juveniles provided protection. Thinning shall start after the stand is 3-4 years old and repeated every 4 years until the stand is 15 years old. Between 15-25 years old, thinning should be conducted every 5 years and after 25 years old, thinning shall be done after every 10 years. When the canopy closes, at about 6 years, 30-40% of the stems shall be thinned to selectively remove suppressed, diseased and badly formed trees. Periodic assessment shall be carried for survivability of the trees. Minimum 70% survival rate shall be achieved. 1.8 Records Keeping & Reporting The following records shall be maintained: 1. Record of Tree plantation 2. Record of Survivability rate Inspection shall be carried out at site to know the survival rate of the plantation. The tree plantation and survivability report shall be prepared every six monthly. 64 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6 1.9 Responsibility Compensatory plantation shall be carried out by forest department. Survival rate of plantation shall be inspected of the by IWAI. Plantation within the terminal/jetty/lock site shall be carried out by IWAI and shall be monitored by IWAI. 65 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6 Annexure 1.2: Occupational Health & Safety Management Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION Many emergencies can occur on any construction site and need to be effectively handled. The environmental and occupational health and safety aspects and related emergency can include incidence such as Collapse / subsidence of soil / Fire / Explosion / Gas Leak, Collapse of Building / Equipment and other Occupational Accidents.

Type of the waste to be generated during construction phase is given below. Excavated Soil Site is undulating and thus will require cut & fill for levelling. Finished level of the soil will be 37 m. Top excavated soil of 15 cm shall be stripped and shall be stored separately under covered sheds. This soil shall be used for green belt plantation. Lower layers of excavated soil shall be re-used within the site for flling purpose, construction of approach & internal roads & railway link. If any extra soil is remained, then that should be disposed of to the approved debris disposal site Dredged Material Dredging shall be carried out in the river for construction of off-shore structures like jetty & berths (pilling) and navigation channels. Dredged soil shall not be disposed along the river bank as they are sensitive habitat for various aquatic species and provide as the spawning and breeding grounds also. Dredged material shall be tested for its quality. If non-toxic then should be disposed at disposal site but if toxic & contains heavy metals, then it should be disposed to TSDF site. Construction Waste Construction waste will comprise of broken bricks, dry cement, discarded timber, metal piece, cement bag, dry asphalt/bitumen, glass, paint/varnishes box etc. These wastes should be segregated into recyclable and non-recyclable waste. Recyclable waste shall be stored in the covered area and shall be sold to authorized vendors regularly. Non-recyclable waste shall be disposed at approved debris site in covered vehicles. Municipal Waste Municipal waste will be generated from labour camp. Dustbins for recyclable and non- recyclable waste shall be provided in labour camp area. Recyclable waste shall be sold to authorized vendors and non-recyclable shall be disposed through authorized agency in area responsible for waste collection and management.

Environment clearance under EIA Notification, 2006 from competent authority and NOC from state pollution control board under Air Act, 1981 as applicable shall be obtained by contractor prior excavation. Consent from land owners and DC of the area shall also be taken prior undertaking any excavation. The Contractor in addition to the established practices, rules and regulation will also consider following criteria before finalizing the locations. Contractor should submit borrow area establishment plan along with the locations marked in map and the environmental settings of the planned area to PMC/IWAI for approval of the “Engineer” through RFI. 1) The borrow area should not be located in agriculture field unless unavoidable i.e. barren land is not available. 2) The borrow pits should not be located along the roads, close to project site 3) The loss of productive and agricultural land should be minimum. 4) The loss of vegetation is almost nil or minimum. 5) Sufficient quality of soil is available. 6) The Contractor will ensure the availability of suitable earth. The Contractor shall obtain representative samples from each of the identified borrow areas and have these tested at the site laboratory following a testing programme as approved by the concerned Engineer. It shall be ensured that the fill material compacted to the required density. The Contractor shall submit the following information to the Engineer for approval at least 7 working days before commencement of compaction.  The values of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content obtained in accordance with ARE: 2720 (Part 7) or (Part 8), as the case may be, appropriate for each of the fill materials he intends to use.  A graph of density plotted against content from which, each of the values in (i) above of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content are determined. After identification of borrow areas based on guidelines and full filling the following requirements are to be fulfilled  Quantification of Earth  Land Agreement  Clearance from local authorities  Environmental Clearances from SEIAA should be obtained. All EC conditions are to be followed by contractor and contractor should submit EC to IWAI/PMC/PMU After receiving the approval Contractor will begin operations keeping in mind following:  Haulage of material to the areas of fill shall proceed only when sufficient spreading and compaction plants are operating at the place of deposition. 77 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6  No excavated acceptable material other than surplus to requirements of the Contract shall be removed from the site. Contractor should be permitted to remove acceptable material from the site to suit his operational procedure, then be shall make good any consequent deficit of material arising there from.  Where the excavation reveals a combination of acceptable and un-acceptable materials, the Contractor shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer, carryout the excavation in such a manner that the acceptable materials are excavated separately for use in the permanent works without contamination by the un-acceptable materials. The acceptable material shall be stockpiled separately.  The Contractor shall ensure that he does not adversely affect the stability of excavation or fills by the methods of stockpiling materials, use of plants or siting of temporary buildings or structures. 1.1 Borrow Area Management Borrow areas located in different land will require different management. Management measures to be taken in different land types are given below. 1.1.1 Borrow Areas located in Agricultural Lands  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile.  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  Borrowing of earth will be carried out up to a depth of 1.5m from the existing ground level.  Borrowing of earth will not be done continuously throughout the stretch.  Ridges of not less than 8m widths will be left at intervals not exceeding 300m.  Small drains will be cut through the ridges, if necessary, to facilitate drainage.  The slope of the edges will be maintained not steeper then 1:4 (Vertical: Horizontal). 1.1.2 Borrow Areas located in Agriculture Land in un-avoidable Circumstances:  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile.  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  The depth of borrow pits will not be more than 30 cm after stripping the 15 cm topsoil aside. 1.1.3 Borrow Areas located on Elevated Lands  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile 78 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  At location where private owners desire their fields to be levelled, the borrowing shall be done to a depth of not more than 1.5m or up to the level of surrounding fields. 1.1.4 Borrow Areas near Riverside  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  Borrow area near to any surface water body will be at least at a distance of 15m from the toe of the bank or high flood level, whichever is more. 1.1.5 Borrow Areas near Settlements  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  Borrow pit location will be located at least 0.75 km from villages and settlements. If un- avoidable, the pit will not be dug for more than 30 cm and drains will be cut to facilitate drainage.  Borrow pits located in such location will be re-developed immediately after borrowing is completed. If spoils are dumped, that will be covered with layers of stockpiled topsoil in accordance with compliance requirements with respect MOEF&CC/CPCB guidelines. 1.1.6 Borrow Pits along the Roads  The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in stockpile  A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).  Borrow pits along the road shall be discouraged.  If permitted by the Engineer; these shall not be dug continuously.  Ridges of not less than 8m widths should be left at intervals not exceeding 300m.  Small drains shall be cut through the ridges of facilitate drainage.  The depth of the pits shall be so regulated that its bottom does not cut an imaginary line having a slope of 1 vertical to 4 horizontal projected from the edge of the final section of bank, the maximum depth of any case being limited to 1.5m.  Also, no pit shall be dug within the offset width from the toe of the embankment required as per the consideration of stability with a minimum width of 10m.  Minimum distance from road/ railway should be 50 metres. 79 Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment Report of National Waterways-1, Volume-6 1.1.7 Re-development of Borrow Areas The objective of the rehabilitation programme is to return the borrow pit sites to a safe and secure area, which the general public should be able to safely enter and enjoy. Securing borrow pits in a stable condition is fundamental requirement of the rehabilitation process. This could be achieved by filling the borrow pit approximately to the road level. Re-development plan will be prepared by the Contractor before the start of work in line with the owner’s will and to the satisfaction of owner. The Borrow Areas will be rehabilitated as follows  Borrow pits will be backfilled with rejected construction wastes (unserviceable materials) compacted and will be given a turfing or vegetative cover on the surface. If this is not possible, then excavation slope should be smoothened and depression is filled in such a way that it looks more or less like the original ground surface.  Borrow areas might be used for aquaculture in case landowner wants such development. In that case, such borrow area will be photographed after their post-use restoration and Environment Expert of Supervision Consultant will certify the post-use redevelopment.  The Contractor will keep record of photographs of various stages i.e. before using materials form the location (pre-project), for the period borrowing activities (Construction Phase) and after rehabilitation (post development), to ascertain the pre and post borrowing status of the area. 80
