INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND In coordination with the World Bank, Government of India via Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has decided to take up the work of upgrading all single lane National Highways to at least 2 Lane/Intermediate Lane standards with provision of paved/earthen shoulders. The basic idea for up- gradation of the corridor is to provide better riding comfort along with safety for the commuters in the long hilly terrain and continuous stretch. There are more than 30 different National Highway stretches selected by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) with approx. total length of more than 3000 km for up gradation. The present report pertains to Gumma to Fediz Section (Km 94.900 to Km 103.550) of NH-707 in the State of Himachal Pradesh. The MoRTH intends to rehabilitate and up-grade the existing single lane of 3.65m between Gumma to Fediz Section to intermediate lane of 5.5m with earthen shoulders of 1m on the valley side and 3m on the hill side keeping in mind the future widening option. The implementation of rehabilitation and up- gradation of this corridor is likely to be taken up with World Bank assistance. The World Bank has agreed to support this sub- project in-principle provided the implementation conforms to environmental and social safeguard policies of the World Bank and the legal framework of the country. The Project ‘Preparation of Detailed Project Report for up gradation to 2-lane/2- lane with paved shoulders for Paonta Sahib - Gumma section of from Km 0.000 to Km 97.000 of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh’ has already been prepared which being longer stretch of 94 km on NH -707. The present project is extension of the same road stretch of 8.65 km only. The tests and other findings at the Gumma station holds equally good for the similar and continuous stretch of 8.65km. 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EA) PROCESS The Environmental Assessment process for the project corridor is based statutory requirements and the World Bank Safeguard Policy requirements. 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) The objectives of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) are to:  Identify a range of mitigation measures which could reduce and mitigate the potential impacts to minimal or insignificant levels.  Identify measures that could optimize beneficial impacts.  Create management structures that address the concerns and complaints of all the stakeholders with regards to the development.  Establish a method of monitoring and auditing environmental management practices during all phases of development.  Describe the practical mitigation measures that should be implemented on road improvement works and ancillary sites (quarry and borrow areas) to prevent or mitigate any negative environmental impacts and to enhance the positive issues.  Ensure that the construction and operational phases of the project continue within the principles of Integrated Environmental Management.  Detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the project. 4 Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz)( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh  Ensure that the safety recommendations are complied with.  Propose mechanisms for monitoring compliance with the EMP and reporting thereon.  Specify time periods within which the measures contemplated in the draft environmental management plan must be implemented, where appropriate.  Establish the roles and responsibilities of all parties which includes HPPWD/NHAI, Contractor, PWD involved in the implementation of environmental controls;  Establish monitoring and reporting system for facilitating appropriate implementation of the EMP. 1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE PROJECT Summary of environmental clearances/ permits/ approvals required for the sub-project is presented in Table 1-1. 1.5 METHODOLOGY OF PREPARING EMP The methodology adopted for the preparation of EMP is based on EIA Notification, dated 4thSeptember 2006 and subsequent amendments, World Bank’s OP and GoI Guidelines. 5 Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz)( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh Table 1-1 List of Environmental Regulations Applicable to the Project Road Typical Regulatory Applicability to S.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 2.1 INTRODUCTION Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure that the environmental quality of the direct project influence area and indirect project influence area does not deteriorate beyond the expected levels due to the construction and operation of the project. The EMP comprises a set of measures to be taken in different stages like the design, construction and operation to eliminate, offset or reduce adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. Elimination/prevention is possible through the elimination of impacts or by avoiding the action. The detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Gumma to Fediz Section of NH-707 has been done by the CEA, Panchkula and available for with HPPWD/Employer. EMP as the Table2-1 called ‘EMP’ lists those measures, which are for this road for the improvement work lists those measures which are specific to this link. 2.2 Objective of EMP The EMP is a plan of action for mitigation / management / avoidance of the negative impacts of the project and enhancement of the project road. Table 2-1 explains the environmental issues and the avoidance/ mitigation/ minimization or enhancement measures adopted and/or to be adopted during different phases of the project. It also provides the references for the suggested measures, responsible agency for its implementation/ management as well as its time frame. 2.3 COMPLIANCE WITH THE EMP A copy of the EMP must be kept at the construction site office during the construction period at all times. The EMP will be made binding on contractor operating on the site and must be included as Contractual Clauses in any contractual agreement for the Contractor.  All persons employed by the contractor or his sub-contractors will abide by the requirements of the EMP.  Contract conditions to include measures to be taken.  The Contractor will not direct a person to undertake any activity which would place them in breach of the specifications contained within the EMP.  Should the Contractor be in breach of any of the specifications contained in the EMP, the HPPWD will in writing, instruct the Contractor responsible for the incidence of non- compliance regarding corrective and/or remedial action required, specify a timeframe for implementation of these actions, implement a penalty and/or indicate that work could be suspended should non-compliance continue.  Should non-compliance continue, further written notification will be forwarded to the contractor responsible for the incident of non-compliance outlining the required corrective and/or remedial action, the timeframe for implementation, penalties and/or work could be suspended as specified previously. 10 Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz)( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh  Contracts with contractor to include Clauses to hold the contractor responsible for the cost of any delays, corrective or remedial actions required as a result of non-compliance with the specifications and Clauses of the EMP.  An appropriate reporting schedule for frequent reporting (of compliance with the EA/EMP) to the HPPWD will be developed. The process to be followed for the auditing of the EA conditions / EMP, as well as the reporting procedure to be followed, will be outlined in this document. 2.4 NON-CONFORMANCE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION The Contractor is deemed not to have complied with the EMP if:  Within the boundaries of the site, site extensions and haul/ access roads there is evidence of a contravention of Clauses.  If environmental damage ensues due to negligence.  The contractor fails to comply with corrective or other instructions issued by the HPPWD within a specified time.  The Contractor fails to respond adequately to complaints from the public. 2.5 PENALTY CLAUSE FOR NONCONFORMITY TO EMP The duration over which the Contractor’s controls shall be in place to cover the construction period of the project as well as the limited time after the contract completion in terms of the contract as the defects liability period.

OVERVIEW Construction camp accommodates a mix of activities, which are highly polluting in nature causing considerable environmental impact and its proper siting, management and redevelopment is crucial to avoid, minimize and mitigate those impacts. The EMP clearly distinguishes between various impacts that may occur at various stages of the camp like • Siting, • Setting up, • Operation and • Closure / redevelopment and provide respective mitigation measures to some extent. In addition to that, this guideline has been prepared to provide the Contractor with comprehensive and systematic information on the various steps to be undertaken during these four stages, so that s/he can execute his/her role in an environmentally sound manner. Various mitigation measures have been synthesized into this guideline so that it serves as a single and standalone document for the Contractor. B. CRITERIA FOR SETTING THE CAMP To the extent, possible barren land or wastelands shall be preferred during site selection and fertile land and agricultural land shall be avoided. All such sites must be above the HFL with adequate drainage facility. In areas prone to floods, cyclones, cloudbursts or heavy rainfall, selection of the site should be made keeping in mind the safety of the camp and the workers. In addition, the Contractor should take care of the following criteria for locating the site: • A minimum of 250 m away from any major settlement or village in downwind direction. • A minimum of 200 m of any major surface water course or body • Not within 500 m from ecologically sensitive areas like wildlife sanctuary, mangroves etc. • Sufficiently wide access roads (at least 5.5 m Wide) for heavy vehicle movements After identification of the site the Contractor should fill up the prescribed reporting format and submit the same for approval to the HP PWD without which any activity shouldn’t be started on the site.

For the safety and convenience of the local people, traffic calming measures, school zone treatment, village gate treatment, traffic control systems and unpaved shoulders for pedestrians in the village areas has been incorporated. IRC:67:2012 and IRC 35:2015 have been referred for sign boards and pavement marking. Construction Stage Safety during the construction will be considered as an integral part and high priority element of the road Project. All precautions required will be taken to ensure closure of the road is for minimum period and traffic delay is as limited as possible. It will also be ensured that inconvenience to the road users, community residing near the work site and the work crew and machinery will be minimized. All safety precautions will be ensured during temporary and permanent works for the road construction. The safety practices, therefore, are oriented towards reducing the conditions that lead to such hazards and consequent stress on the driver, so as to control and regulate his behaviour as warranted by the site conditions through the construction zone. Components of the Construction Zone Construction Zone is the area of the road which is affected by the works and which affects traffic flow resulting in a conflict between the road users and the construction activities. Work Zone is the area where workmen are working i.e. excavation, overlaying improvements etc. Working Space is the space around the work area that allows the workmen to move around to do the job and will include space required for storing excavated material, plant and equipment and clear space required for swinging of equipment and excavation arms. Safety Zone is provided to protect the workmen from the moving traffic. This includes providing lateral and longitudinal buffer zones. Traffic Control Zone includes those areas in advance of the actual work site that are required for advance working as well as safety zones, the transition zones and the working zones itself. For providing all required safety precautions specific traffic management plans will be prepared and implemented during construction in accordance with the IRC: SP:55:2014 (Guidelines on Safety in Road Construction Zones).

It consists mostly of inert and non-biodegradable material such as concrete, plaster, metal, wood, plastics etc. These wastes are having high density and very heavy, often bulky and occupy considerable storage space either on the road or Community waste bin/container. It is estimated that the construction industry in India generates about 10-12 million tons of waste annually. Projections for building material requirement of the housing sector indicate a shortage of aggregates to the extent of about 55,000 million cum and for highway projects 750 million cum aggregate material from construction and demolition waste may reduce the demand-supply gap in both these sectors. While retrievable items such as bricks, wood, metal, titles are recycled, the concrete and masonry waste, accounting for more than 50% of the waste from construction and demolition activities are not being currently recycled in India. Concrete and masonry waste can be recycled by sorting, crushing and sieving into recycled aggregate. This recycled aggregate can be used to make concrete and WMM for road constructions and building materials. Works on recycling of aggregate has been done at Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee and Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) New Delhi. Characteristics This category of waste is complex due to the different types of construction materials being used but in general may comprise the following materials:  Clearing and Grubbing (C&G)  Scarified/Dismantled Bituminous materials  Dismantled Concrete/Bricks waste  Oil/Battery/Tyre waste  Waste from Hot Mix Plant (Aggregate dust)  Settling Tank waste (Concrete Batching Plant)  Organic Waste from camp site and Kitchen of different workers’ camp Storage/ Collection and Reuse of Construction and Demolition Waste These waste are best stored at source; i.e., at the point of generation. If they are scattered around or thrown on the road, they may not only cause obstruction to traffic but also add to the workload of the local body. Following methods shall be adopted such as: Clearing and Grubbing (C&G): Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP 88 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz) ( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh The material collected after C&G at site stored within the ROW or at approved disposal site so that waste does not get scattered and does not become an eyesore. The waste material is carted to disposal site in tippers properly covered and disposed of at disposal site.There are various types of materials collected during C&G process like weeds, stumps of trees, or other organic matters.Attempts are made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible so that further gradation and reused is facilitated. These materials are generally self-degrading and are not health hazard and some of the material are may be used for land fill if required. Scarified / Dismantled Bituminous Material: The material collection for scarification of bituminous road or from dismantling of existing road are stored at site and preserved.These materials may be mixed in required percentage with WMM material to achieve the desired gradation.The material is carted by tippers to the stockyard and preserved for reuse. Dismantled Concrete/Bricks Waste: The materials are collected from different location of dismantling of bridges and other structures during the road construction.They are generally heavy and bulky in nature and require huge effort to handle such type of waste.The material is generally stacked at or near the site and later is disposed in suitable locations. The suitable and reusable materials are stacked separately for reuse. Oil/ Battery/ Tyre Waste: The oil waste is collected in the oil interceptor constructed at each workshop location. Further, the oil is collected the in the drums. Similarly, the batteries/ Tyres those are out of service and become un-usable are stored at safe place. Those wastes when collected in sufficient amount are generally sold in the market for re-use.Hazard to the surrounding due to such waste are prevented and income to the pocket is added by just good practices. The proper record of such waste must be maintained at site. Waste from hot Mix Plant (Aggregate Dust): The aggregate waste is collected near the plant and considerable amount of waste shall be reused as filled in the bituminous works.Dust at plant site is to be reduced at considerable extent. Settling Tank Waste (Concrete Batching Plant): The waste generated at batching plant is allowed to settle in the settling tank. Further this will be collected and reused for the haul road to the plant site.This helps in the reducing of dust during the movement of heavy vehicles. Further, the haul road shall be regularly watered and kept moist. Organic Waste from Kitchen/Workers Mess: The waste generated in the kitchen at camp site is to be collected in proper covered container (20 kg /day) Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP 89 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz) ( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh The waste is further carried away and disposed to the municipal committee waste disposal areas and after that shall be send for composting.

The silt fencing consists of geo textile with extremely small size supported by a wire mesh mounted on a panel made up of angle / wooden frame and post. It is expected a single person will be able to drive the angles by pressing from the top. The frame will be installed at the edge of the water body along which construction is in progress. The number of such units to be installed can be decided depending upon the length of the water body along the side of the road construction Locations of silt traps will depend on Contractor’s proposals for site facilities and work sites and should be provided in the Contractors Proposals. This will be checked by the PWD and monitored by HP PWD. The probable locations where silt fencing proposed are given in the following table: Design and locations of Silt Fencing: Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP 91 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) preparation of DPR for Rehabilitation and Up gradation to Intermediate lane of Paonta Sahib Rajban Shillai Meenus Hatkoti road portion between Km 97+000 to 106+120 (Gumma to Fediz) ( Design RD 94+900 to 103+550) of NH 707 in the state of Himachal Pradesh Design and locations of Oil interceptor: Oil and grease from road run-off is another major concern during construction as well as operation. During construction, discharge of oil and grease is most likely from workshops, oil and waste oil storage locations and vehicle parking areas of Construction camps. A total of 1 Oil interceptors shall be provided at Camp site to arrest oil and grease, as per given figure. The arrested products shall be disposed as per MoEF and HPSPCB guidelines. The location of all fuel storage and vehicle cleaning area will be at least 300 m from the nearest drain / water body. Oil Interceptor Consulting Engineering Associates PWD-NH-Division, Nahan HP 92
