Gaseous samples were collected by integrated gas sampling assembly (Envirotech API\[ 411) A tapping provided in the hopper of the sampler was uutdsed for sampLlng of SO: and NOx. with proper flow controller and a flow of 1 0 I/mun. EnvLrotech Organic Vapour Sampler (APLNI 850) and a digital imported personal sampler Dragger iNfulutwarn 11, were used for morntoring CO and HC Paruculate Lead (as Pb) was determined from the glass micro fibre filter papers used for RPMt Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM) RPMf was collected on a glass fibre filter mounted on a Respirable Dust Sampler (RDS). The sampler is attached with a cyclone. ALr enters a verucal cylinder with a swirling (vortex) motion and particles larger than design cut-off (i.e. 10 um diameter) are collected in a dust collecuon bottle fixed under the cvclone, whereas particles below 10 microns are deposited on the filter paper. RPMV was calculated by taking the difference betwveen the final and inuuial weights of the filter paper and dividing by the volume of air sampled at STP condLtions. SPM was calculated by taking the difference benveen the final and uutial weights of the dust collecuon bottle plus filter paper and dividing by the volume of air sampled at STP conditions." Sulphur dioxide (SO2) SO2 was sampled and analysed as per Mvfodified West-Gaeke specrrophotometnc method. S02 collected in a scrubbing solution of sodium terrachloro mercurate (TCM) and was allowed to react with sulphamic acid, formaldehyde and then with pararosaniline hydrochloride. The absorbance of the product red-violet dye was measured using UV Visible Spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 560 nm. Concentration of SO2 was calculated by muluplying the absorbance of the sarnple wvith the calibration factor of the method and dividing by the volume of air sampled (to STP condiuons).

Nitrogen oxides as nitrogen dioxide were collected by bubblng air through sodium hydroxide-sodium arsemute soluuon to form a stable soluuon of sodium mntrite. The nutnte ion produced during sampling was deterrmned spectrophotometrically (at 540 nm) by intuaung the reacuon berxveen the exposed absorbing reagent with phosphonc acid, sulphanilamrde and N (1-naphthvl) echylamrne dlhydrochloride.

The corridor cuts across 5 disrricts (Nagapattinam, Than)avur, TLruvarur. Pudukkoottai, Ramanathapuram and Tuucorin) The GoTN has declared most of the Taluks along the corridor (especiallv along the southern stretclh of the corridor) as soclally and economically backward due to the low level of infrastructure facilities and resource availabilit The project has been conceived with an objective of connecting these backward coastal villages with a better road and therebv enablng an improvement in the socio-economic profile of the coastal populauon. As has been confirmed from the various discussions with the road users, the development of this road will not change the preference of the long distance road users between the two major ports of Chennai and Tuticorn. The existing NH-45 / 45B will remain the preferred route as it is not only shorter but also is of a higher standard, compared to the improvements suggested in this project. Though the improvements proposed involve only the widening of the existing highway, there is a likelihood of the project leading to opemung of the coastal region to development. This has the potential of leadmg to land use succession along the road. The entire eastem coast, due to its sedimentary formauon has been suscepuble to intrusion of seawater, leading to scarclty of potable water. The development of a two-lane highway nmght induce other land uses, including water intensive industral uses. Addressal of the Issue As part of the mdependent review, an effort has been made to provide a direction for land use planmng along the eastern corridor by integrating development with resource avallability, factoring in environmental concerns and thresholds along the eastern coast. This shall be aimed at (i) directing and ratonalizing development along cntical areas and (u) Streamlnmg development along non- critical areas. The approach adopted involved the following steps: I Evaluauon of the existing land use planning approach II Analyse the existing land use charactenstics along the corrdor III: Identify development trends and locations vulnerable to mduced development Iv . Assess the environmental constraints and potenuals for development V . Assess intrinsic sultability for specific land uses VI: Identify and delneate criucal areas, based on overlay and composite sutability VII: Finalse mechanisms for implementauon and implementauon arrangements Each of these steps is discussed in the following sections. Existing land use planning approach Overview The Directorate of Town and Country planning is entrusted with the mandate of plannig the development and use of rural and urban areas in the state of Tamil Nadu, in accordance w-ith the provisions of the Tanul Nadu Town and Countr Planing Act, 1971 The act provides for the notification of any area in the state to be a regional planning area, local planming area or a new town. Uebruan 2003 I'amil NadU Road Scctor Pro;ect -\ppendices to Con'ohdated E\ Report This noufication by the Government is based on the population sLze of the area, development potentials etc. Once the noufication is made, the respecutve authority is constituted, wvhich regulates the planning and development of land use within the area of jurisdccuon through preparauon of regional, master and development plans respectively. The master plans are prepared for the urban areas and the local planrmng areas, while the regional plans cater to noufied regional planning areas/distrncts The master plan specifies "land use zones" and the Development Control Regulations for each of the land use zones within the planunig area, wv-hile the regional plans provide guidelines on the manner in wvhtch the land in the reglon shall be used Agencies Involved The various agencies involved in the planning, approval of acutvlues / land uses in the state of Tamil Nadu is presented in Table 4.9.1 below Table 4.9.1: Institutions involved in planning and approval of activities Agency Area of Legislation Functions operation Directorate of Town and State 1 amil Nadu Toxw n and Regulate use and development of land within the notfied / Countn Planning Countn Planning Act, plannung areas in conformity to the master plans 1971 Grant perTussion for special buildings in areas not nonfied as planning areas Town Panchamats Planning Area Tamil Nadu Distnct Prepanng / umplementation/regulanon of land use plan Municipalities Act, 1920 Approvals for construction of strucrures, buldings' within the Town Panchavat junsdictions V&ilage Pancha ats i'Llage Tamil Nadu Panchayars Licensing and sanctiomng for use of Panchavat land Panchavat Act 1994 Granting license for construcoon of buildings' Tarnil Nadu State Polution State 1ni-ironmental Protecuon Granting No Obtection Cernficare to industnal and other Control Board Act,1986 land uses requming enironmental clearances under the Air (P&CP) Act, 1981 and the WVater (P&CP) Act, 1974 Department of Enironment State (W'ithin Environmental Protecuon Regulates any constructon activities within the Coastal (Coastal Zone Management SOOm of CRZ) Act,1986 Regulaton Zone (CRZ) authonry) Ground Water Authonn, State Tamil Nadu Ground Provide safeguards against over-exploitauon and ensunng PWND \'ater ( Development and planned devclopment and proper management of ground Management) Act,2000 water resources Notif\ areas for development, control and regulation of ground water Prohibition of sinking wells m notified areas Department of Forcsts Resen c/Proe I-orest Concrn-ation Act, Preccn ation and managemcnt of the State's forest resource, cted fore.t 1)8t3 Department of \nimal Coasral rLgion 'I amDl Nadu Aquaculcure Rtegulation of coastal aquaculture in the state lHusbandn and Fisheries (Regulation) .\ct,1995 Grant and renewal of liccnses Dtpartment iN Salt Board Salt fieLkF l.lccening for the production of salt, In case of special buddings, largcr buildings as institutional buildings and factories, the Panchasat is required to refcr to the Relgional Director of l'owtn .md Countrv Planning for his approval 2 same a. abo% e l:ebruan, 2003 Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project .\ppcriditce to Conolidarcd E.\ heport Agency Area of Legtslation Functions operation Departmenrt It industnes State Granting permi-eion and liccnset for indu,tric, on iaitit-acti)n compliance to other rcquircmcnt, as the 'TINSIPCB.

The major concerns as regards the regulauon of land uses by the nodal agency (DoT&CP) for pernussion of land uses, are. The master plans are prepared only for the notified planning areas. The enforcement of the development controls for these master plan areas is under the direct purview of the DoT&CP In other areas, the Town Panchayats and village Panchayats take up the approval decisions. Though the clearance of the DoT&CP is required for special buildings all over the state, the clearance is more a formality. This is largely due to the fact that there is no zoming or delineation of land uses for the entire distnct outside the noufied planmung areas. Furthermore, as per the 74th Amendment, which empowers the local municipal bodies and Panchayats, the decisions of the elected local bodies override the executive decisions. I Less than 15km (<50/o) of the entire corndor passes through notified planning areas where the provisions of the development controls under the provisions of the Master Plans. These include the stretches of the corridor through the local planning areas of Nagapatttnam, Ramanathapuram and Tuucorn. Appreciation of environmental issues at the grassroots clearance agencies. There is no technical expertise or appreciation of the environmental issues3 wlthn the local bodies. Ini7the absence of technical know how and lack of any prescnbed forrnats and guidelnes for approving development activites, the environmental issues take a backseat and are driven by the economic pressures, as the revenue generauon for the local body is attached great importance. Existing Land Use along the Eastern Corridor The land uses along the project road for a distance of 100 meters on either side were inventoned through a reconnaissance survey wherein the adjoinng land uses along the corridor were recorded. The land use along the corndor is presented in Table 4.9.2 below. 3 Apart from the inputs from the Dibtrict lmir irrnmental Engineer of the TNSPCB entrusted rhe responsibtlitn of regulating the environmental standards Fcbruarv 2003 Tamil Nadu Road SLctor Proiect \ppendice to Conolidated E A Report Table 4.9.2: Land Use Pattern along the Eastern Corridor ILand Usc Categorn P'ackageb (Length Kim) TIotal length INRSP 02 'INRSP 03 fI NRSI' 04 (km) Settlemcnt 287 30 27 857 \gricultural 64 9 38 8 38 142 Salt pans - 2 14 16 Slirimp Farmin3 - 6 36 Scrub Lands 0 22 33 'Ioral 1 6 99 8 _ 118 | 3;4 - Source Pnmarv survev,, 1-\S-\. 2002 The land use pattern along the Eastern Corridor presents a diverse mix of uses. The maximum percentage of land along the corndor is that of agncultural land uses (42%) followed by settlements that are present along 25% of the length of the corridor. No major industnal activities are present m this stretch. Saltpans and shnmp farming are the only major economrc activities along the coast, apart from fishing. The TNRSP 04 (Ramanathapuram-Tuucorin) section accounts for a majonty of the salt mining activities along the coast. Shrimp farming is extensively carried out between Nagapattinam to Kattumavadli. The descnption of the land use characteristics of each of the project packages is presented in the following sections: TNRSP 02 (Nagapattinam-Kattumavadi): This section starts at Nagapattinam, which is the third biggest port in Tamil Nadu. The bypass proposed for the Nagapattinam town is towards the western side (away from the coast). The alignment has been routed through agricultural lands for a mnajor length. The major developments apart from the port dei7elopment include a refinery unit of GoI, whlch are all towards the western side of the town, i.e., closer to the bypass. South of Nagapattinam, is the pilgrimage town of Velankanru, lkm east of the corndor. Between Nagapattmnam to Tiruppundi, the predommnant land use is agnculture. Along this stretch, there exist several small vlllages, wvhich are largelv dependent on agriculture apart from the coastal villages, which are predominantly fishung vlllages. From Tiruppundi to Tiruthuraipundi, though there is no mtense ribbon development along the road, there is a continuous habitation with small setdements occurnng almost every km of the corridor. These commumuties are largely agriculture dependent. Along the Tiruthuraipundi - Rajamadam section, there exist villages, which are larger in size with a higher density as compared to the earlier stretch. Thls can be attrnbuted to the highly fertile land in this stretch and these settlements serving as agricultural market centers for the hinterland. Brackish water shrimp farms are present along some stretches. UTdavamarthandapuram bird sanctuary is situated at a distance of 800 m from the corndor From Rajamadam to Kattumavadi the corridor runs parallel to the coast and at some places within 500 m In the absence of anm agricultural acuviues. fishing is the onlv economic activitr and most of the setdements along the road are fishing villages or small market centers for fishing produces Apart from Nagapatunam. three major settlements viz , Tiruppundi, Tiruthuraipundi and IMuthupet are being bypassed in this secuon These bypass alignments are routed through agnculture lands. TNRSP 03 (Kattumavadi - Ramanathapuram): The Kattumav-adi - Tondi secuon of the corrdor for a major length runs within a km from the coast Along the roadside most of the lands are vacant/scrub lands. These lands are not uutlzed for agriculture due to the lack of water As the soil is sandy, the land is not suited for either salt mining or shrimp farming. At stretches where the soil is not sandy, especially along Pudupatunam to Ilandiripatunam (10km) shnmp farms are present for a conunuous stretch. In the absence of any other agricultural produces, the only species that survives Februanr 2003 Limil Nadu Road Sector Pzroect .\ppcndtcch ro Cotiolidatcd I.\ Rcport on this tract is palm, due to which extensive palm plantatons are present along a significant length of the corrdor. The urban centers along this stretch can be broadly categonzed as foUows Tondi - commercial center, Mianamelkudi - a newly declared Taluka head quarter and iminsal, Devipattnam - other major settements. TNRSP 04 (Ramanathapuram - Tuticorin): The enure stretch between Ramanarhapuram and Tuuicorin is sandv and does not support any agricultural activitues Consequently, scrub lands and drv vacant lands are the predominant land use along thus stretch. On elther side of the corridor, Projopzi juldlora is grown in large areas tor fuel wvood tor commercial purposes in thts water scarce region. In this area, palm plantations are present in small pockets At locations were water is available, as along certain pockets around Kilakarai, coconut plantations are present. The urban settlements along thls stretch include Savalkudi, Kulattur - major cornmercial centers; KIlakaral - educational and commercial center and Vembar - a major setdement in the area. Apart from these urban centers, the other settlements are predommnantly fishmg villages. The absence of any prospective economic opportunuues in tus region has tnggered large-scale migration of skilled and unskilled workers to outside the country mostly to the iLddle East and southeast Asian countnes. The increased spending power due to the mflow of these monies can be attributed to the higher degree of urbanizauon along this stretch. Ramanathapuram is the only major town betveen Nagapartnam and Tuucorm. The town is very old and important trade center for this region for many centuries. Nearer to Ramanathapuram, Gas Authonty of India limited (GAIL) has developed exploration uruts. The Gulf of Mannar Blosphere Reserve though not dLrectly fallng on the comdor has tihe potential to attract tounsts and the GoTN has recently inuitated several measures rn the Gulf of Manriar region to develop tourism and capitalize the manne resources without environmental degradation. At the bridge locations mangroves are seen m small patches. The settlements in dus stretch are small in size with low density. From Vembar to Tuticorin, the corndor runs through saltpans for a length of 8 km. Tuucorin, apart from being a major port, is a major industnal center for the southern part of Tamil Nadu. The significant development around Tuucorin includes the proposal of the GoTN for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Nangunen. Pnvate entrepreneurs have plotted the southern stretch of the corridor for mdustral development. Development Trends & Potential for Induced Development To understand the development trends of the individual settlements and to assess their potential for induced development, extensive consultauons were held with the communitv and the various stakeholders along the corndor. Discussions held focused around the recent developments along the corndors, proposals for any major acuviues in the region and the lkely impacts that could result due to the implementauon of the project. These dLiscussions together with a basic analysis of the census and socio-economuc data of the project distncts provided the basis for idenufying areas susceptible to induced development impacts. These include: -Urban areas and fringe areas of major settlements; -Productive agncultural lands along Bypasses/Realignments; -Small agncultural patches betxveen settlements; -Stretches around locauons of cultural/tounst/ecological interests; Februarn 2003 I amil Nadu Road Sector Projcct .\ppendiccs to Conmolidared E \ FRcporr -Existing market centers, -Expansion of exisung acuviues viz., shrimp farms, salt pans, etc; and Intersections of ECR wvith other major roads Accordingly, a total length of 46 2 km was found to be suscepuble to change in land uses, which would mean the conversion of agricultural land uses for development purposes. The locations identufied are presented in the Table 4.9.3. Figure 4 9 1 represents these locauons along the corridor.

Ove-rlay & Composite Suitability The themauc maps were overlaid to idenutif and delineate areas that are suitable for development This also enabled the idenufication of areas not suitable for residenual, commercial and industrial uses, through exclusion. Such a suitablitn- analysis was done for all land uses identfied. These individual suwtablittv maps were overlaid to wvork out a composite overlay. The composite suitablhtv identifying areas suitable/ unsuwtable for the different land uses is presented in Figure 4.9.9 Based on the overlays and the composite suitability exercise, the following inferences have been arrived at: -78 km of the corridor falls in the salhne blocks and hence no residenual and commercial landuses can occur. However, low-densitv commercial landuses can occur. -Degraded forests are present along 34 kms of the cormdor between Ramanathapuram and Tuuiconn and another 1 km of the corridor is close to the mangroves between Muthupet and Manora. No activities should be allowed in these areas. -51.5 km of the corndor is in areas of hlgh salnity content (>5 ppt) and therefore, no residential or commercial actvitues can take place in this region. -Development controls to be exercised for a stretch of 164.5 km (mclusive of the saline blocks, degraded forests and mangroves) to regulate land use proliferation. -In areas other than the mangroves, forests and hlgh sality zones, which mcludes a corrdor stretch of 170 Kmn, non-water intensive industries, low-density residennal and commercial uses would be suitable. Institutional Mechanisms and Implementation Arrangements The findings of the suitabdiry exercise and the mduced development issues related to the land use changes were presented to the vanous governmental agencies4. The land use workshop provided a forum for assessing the situauon and arrve at an implementation mechanism that would address the core issue of induced development by planning and for regulating land uses. There was an overall consensus amongst the workshop parucipants that there was no necessity for modifying the existing legislations, as they had m them in-built all necessary safeguards for regulating and planning land uses. Though these legislauons have been amended periodically by the respecuve Government agencies to suit the growing requirements, the change in the existing process for this project was not discussed at length, as it was found not necessary The vanous instituuonal mechamsms that were discussed include: -Notificauon of the coastal stretch as a planmng area, -Establishment of a separate planning authontv for monitoring land uses along the coast -MNontonng by the State and District Level Committees for TNRSP .\ land usc workshop conducted bv the I lighwa%' Department on the 255h of September 2002 to work out mechanisms for managing land uses along the corridor Februan 2003 c r n a k k u d /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oa _ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RESWENltW COIdIUERCIM INDUSTRIAL RECRT>A11L >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O 20N No O OWOA0 t~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- 1TT J _____ =T .Z dWU tQ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~___ PM1dM _ ^ S El N. 1AS U)L bf(J~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O1 _ AoADtS m A / Av l 2t Khr hS /~~~~~~~~~~~~~r m I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ONS4JTANT~ LEA ASSOCIATES SOUTH ASIA PVT.

Notification of the Entire Coastal Stretch as a Planning Area The Tamil Nadu T&CP Act, 1971, (Provision 10 1) states "the Government mar b!- noufication in TN Govt Gazette, from ume to time, declare their intenuon to specify anv area in the state to be a planning area". Once noufied as a planning area, a land use plan for the area notified can be prepared and the development controls implemented in accordance with the plan provisions. The noufication is generally done for a defimte geographical or adminstrative boundary The delineation of a strp of land along the road will cut across different admrnistrative boundanes Also, delineating such a planning area would involve depnving the local authonues of their existing powers. As a result, the operauonalization of this opuon was not considered practical. Also, the time taken for notificauon and preparauon of the development plans is enormous. Therefore, thls option is not taken up for subsequent consideration. Establishment of a Separate Authority for Monitoring Land Uses along the Coast All the existing departments, local authonues and regulatory authorities do have their own rules, regulations, laws, by-laws etc and are sufficient to take care of controllng and montoring the development activities. Therefore no changes are required. Further, no guarantee is there to the effect that such revised statutes wEll meet the requirements in full and without legal problems. To address the weak link of effecuve enforcement mechanisms, an option can be to brng into beng an instituuonal mechanism, which will 'oversee the deliveries of the local bodies and statutory authonties pertaining to this project. The secretariat of such an institution shall be a full time office headed by an senior revenue officer delegated with powers to take decisions on all land use permission related issues along the corridor. He will be supported in his activites by the Heads of such Local Bodies, the Heads of concerned Government departments, the Distrct collectors and other distnct level officials of the departments. This District level committee will monitor the functioning of the agencies under this project and remedv the situations wherever called for. Besides, there shall anse a smgle point monitonng of the project to ensure course-corrections as needed and completion on time. The authontv at present lies with several heads of department as the Department of Town and Country Planning, Department of Town Panchayats, Department of EnvLronment etc. Settng up such an authority for the project was not found acceptable to the parucipants. Therefore this option is not further elaborated Monitoring by the State and District Level Committees for TNRSP As part of the project implementation mechanisms, state and distnct level committees have been consututed. The state level commlttees compnse apart from the Project Director, the heads of departments of other agencies as the Finance, Revenue. Highwavs etc. At the distncts, Distnct Level Committees have been formed with the District Collector as the Chairperson and the distnct heads of the vanous Government Departments including the Regional Deputy, Director of T&CP These committees have been consuruted to address the grievance redressal of the PAPs and the vanous resettlement and rehablitauon issues in the project.

On similar lines, it is suggested that comrunttees are set up along the coastal districts for regulating and planning the land uses along the corridor. Based on the suitability of the land stretches, permissions can be accorded. The committee at the district level shall be chaired by the District Collector, wtth the dstrnct heads of the departments of towvn and country planning, town panchavats, envi.ronment, ground water board etc advising him on the technical aspects. The difficulty associated with this mechanism is chat these committees are purel- temporary and are set only to address the issues raised during the project Lmplementation To address thus, it has been recomrnmended that the committee conunue throughout the project implementation period ull one year after the completion of the project. After this period, the Government wllD review the need for extending the tenure of this commirttee. Capacity Building of the Local Bodies Incorporation of the TNRSP development controls withm the guidelines for clearance of the vll.age and town panchayats. As part of TNRSP, training programs will be conducted for educatng the officials of the local bodies on the clearance procedures. Suggested Set-Up The formation of dcstrict level committees for approval of land uses chaired by the District Collector and represented by the vanous government agencies hAs been suggested. Only in cases where the issue is not resolved at the district level, the issue wlll be referred to the State level committed where all heads of departments will be members. To educate the members of the local municipal bodies, it is proposed that tramng on the controls and regulations will be provided as part of the project. Further Deliberations on the Issue of Landuse Management The issue of landuse management along the Eastern Corridor was further discussed with vanous levels of stakeholders5 to ascertain their views. A separate session in the workshop was set aside to exclusively discuss the issues related to landuse management. After adequate delberauons on the issue it was decided by all parUcipants to institute a study on the Chennai Cuddalore secrion of the East Coast Road. The studv would focus on the implementauon process, the mrustakes committed therein, the lessons learnt and the present day situation. It would provide cntical inputs to formulate measures to control induced development along the project road. It was decided that an external agency would be responsible for formulaung the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the study, which would be sent to the HD for incorporating their suggestions. The HD is now under the process of finalizing the TOR for the study. Adequate cost provisions has been incorporated in the Environmental Budget to uituate the study. i A State level Srakeholders workshop was conducted by the Highwavs Department on the 24th of October 2002 at Chennai to address the concerns of the various Stakeholders Februarv 2003 Tamil Nadu Road Sector Projecr .\ppendices to Consolidated LA Report Training Modules The training programmes for landuse management will be held at both the state and distrct level. Two state level trainng sessions and three district level trainung sessions (for each of the districts selected) have been proposed. Each traimng session will be of 3 days. The agencv selected for carrving out the study on the Chennai Cuddalore section of the East Coast Road wvill also be responsible for organruzing the training sessions. At the state level the training sessions will be organised for the semor officials from the following departments -Highwavs Department -Public Works Department, Ground water -Directorate of Town and Country Planming -Department of Fisheries -Department of Tourism -Town Panchayat Eight districts have been selected for the distnct level trammg progranmmes. The districts selected are Nagapattinam, Thiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukklottai, Ramanathapuram, Tuticorn, Cuddalore and Sivaganga. The Eastern Corridor runs across the first sLx distrcts. Cuddalore has been selected as the Chidambaram bypass (a new road of 16.9 Km) is proposed m it while the Sivaganga has been selected because of its proximity to the Eastern Corridor. The field level officials of the following departments will attend the district level programmes: -Highways Department -Public Works Departrnent, Ground water -Town Panchayats -Village Panchayats The first session of the state level traimnig programme can commence immediately after the completion of the proposed study. After an interval of three months the distrct level programmes can start at the concerned districts. The next trammg session at the central level can ideally occur at the start of the implementation stage. Thls session will analyze the feedbacks received from the field level officials.

It was informed by forest officials that there are no endangered flora m the forest. ' Except for Spotted Deer no other endangered fauna is observed in the Mudanai RF. The locaton of road with respect to the RF was indicated in a map available with the forest division. Visit to Mudanai RF was taken up along with the Forest range officer. Mludanai RF intersects the corndor at 38/2 and ends at 41/0. It was informed that there are check dams constructed for water retention in the forest. Anmmal crossing at km 40/4 is visited. Curve at the location is being umproved. But no land is being acquLred at thls location Regarding the tribal commurutes in the forest, they lve quwte far from the road and none of them have settled along the roadside. At the animal crossing, tmings of crossing will be around 9:00 pm. There are no accidental collisions of deer wvith the vehicles. A pond has been constructed for providing water to the animals. It is around 100m from the edge of the road. Mlany water holes have also been provided but most of them were dry. There are trenches along the edge of the road to prevent cattle from enterng the RF In the RF about 2.9 ha is going to be affected. But the LPS have to be checked and then finahzed with the VAO. Another animal crossmg is observed at 40/6. The Tamil Nadu Afforestauon Project under the funding of JICA has been taken up in the forest at thls locauon.

The objecuve of meetng was to identify probable umpacts on the marine ecosystem due to the road construcuon. Following are the proceedings. Project particulars were explained to the officer. The liklelv impact zone due to road constr-uction and operauon was also menuoned. He explained that there is negliglble or no impact on the marne species of the biosphere reserve. Even in Udavamarthandapuram bird sanctuary, he is of the view that the mrgratory birds are hlgh flying and wvil not be affected due to heavv traffic. Gulf of MIannar consists of 21 islands, seacoast and part of the gulf. It has coral reefs which is spread over an area of 623 ha. The Gulf of Mannar Marnne Biosphere Reserve is considered to be a World priority Site and houses around 3600 species of animals and plants. Presendy fish catching of 200 species has been banned. The biosphere reserve produces 20% of the marne fish catch of the state of Tamrl Nadu. A few endangered species of turtles including the Olive Rtdlev Turtle are found in the region. Of the marne mammals, this place is the last refuge for the endangered Dugong species. Apart from them, whales and a few species of dolphins are also found m the sea. A large nurnber of bLrds have been recorded in the Gulf of .Niannar So far 160 species of avi-fauna have been identfied here. Most of these are migratory BLrds migrate from Iran, Iraq, Siberia, Northeastern states and foochills of the Himalayas to this region. Due to sedimentation, which results in a change in pH value, and change of atmosphenc temperature, the coral reefs are getting degraded.

Some of the observations are The sanctuary is located well close to human settlements and is surrounded by agricultural fields Durng the visit no birds were seen. From the records of the sanctuary, it was gathered that the season for birds is from October to March eveny year. The low-lying area wvithln the sanctuary converts into a lake from mid-August to Mlarch due to water discharged from Grand Analcut Dam. Apart from a few local species a number of high flying migratory birds from Mfiddle East, Sibena and South-east Asian countnes also visit the sanctuary every year. Open Biled Stork is the most populous species (10000 nos.) that visited the sanctuary last season. A barbed wire fence is present on the penphery of the sanctuary. On consultation, it was learnt that the fence was provided 2 years ago and after that there is a sudden decrease in the number of birds. He is of the view that any dcsturbance to the habitat will affect the birds. The meeting concluded with thank}s on the assistance given to us.

The meeting started off with LASA seeking a view of the ACF on the plantation scheme that can be adopted along the road side and also on the road side landscape proposed by the PCC. In response: The ACF expressed dissausfaction for choice of Tamannd for avenue plantauon as it is a slow growing species and takes adeast 10 years to give the necessary shade. Cattle population is abundant in the roadside hence if non-palatable species are planted, cattle movement in the road premises can be reduced. As regards the indlgenous species of flowenng plants, Cassia margarita will be a good choice. It was enquired whether thls species would be having wide shade and would be sturdy. In response, it was mentioned that Ca.ia margarita does nxot have a wide canopy. Its shade extends to 4m dia but has sturdv wood and can be used for the first row. Some more species were also suggested as follows. Holopteha integrifolha; Eugenua euginoidus; Terminala arluna; Pongamia glabra; Thespesia populnea (all these are non-palatable species) In exouc species, Acacia auriiculformis (fast growing but will have shorter life span, can withstand drought and can be planted in semi and areas), Acacia mangium, these have sturdy wood and have good shade. Other species are Delonix regia, Peltaphorum terrotarbum. Ficus bengalensis, Cassiafistula is also good. Invader species should not be generallv recommended for avenue trees. Axadzracta zndica, Samania saman are sturdy species. Tamarind should be restncted in plantauon. Tree guards have to be provided for atleast 3 years after planting any type of tree. The guards provided should be of xvire so that they cannot be taken out and utlized b!- local people, defeating the purpose of tree guard. Regarding the instituuonal arrangements for the avenue plantauon cutting, replantng and maintenance the function of PIU is enquired It was suggested that the existng set up would be inadequate at the foresters level and it would require tvo more foresters, one for each package during implementauon would be required. Othervise it would be difficult for the forester to manage the plantation scheme as the work would progress simultaneously for all the packages Regarding the funcuoning of the plantation scheme, flow of funds. ecbruan' 2003 ILamil Nadu Road Sector lProject \ppcendcCL to Consohdarcd 1 .\ Rcporr It was explained that in case of forest department, even, forester will have tvo rangers and each ranger wdll have tvo watchers. ACF would be responsible for the issue of funds. The ACF is deputed from forest department exclusively for TNRSP and so he wlfl be responsible complecely and will function onlv for TNRSP In contrast to the regular services in Forest Department, the responsibility IS exclusive and the numbers of staff members are also tirnted Some queries were asked regarding the cutcing, clearing and planung of trees and nurseries In response it was informed that; Cutung, clearing and sale of the trees will be taken up by the TNRSP (with the help of contractor) Permnssion from the forest department wllU have to be obtained for transport of the cut trees The disposal of cut trees will be through spot disposal in the day itself by the Highwavs Deparument, as no guards will be available to monutor in the night. It will be useful for the local people to dispose at the location of cutung Itself. Revenue generated from the sale of cut trees wvii be for the Highwavs Department. The existing nursery at Strkazhi was setup for the project. Plants would be generated for plantation in this nursery also. Each forester will be having a nursery at the nearest locaton to the stretch. Certain suggestions were obtained regarding modifications necessary for the plantation scheme as proposed by the PCC. The following suggesuons were given: The plantauon scheme by PCC involves mformal plantation instead of avenue plantation. Though the scheme would be good on drawmg, on actual implementauon, it would not be good. It is of the view of LASA also that avenue plantation instead of informal plantauon would present good aesthetics. It was also explained by ACF that there should not be extensive mixing of tree species imrnediately. As avenue trees wlll be light demanders, hence one tree wvil not tolerate shade of the other tree. If these are maxed there wvii be shoot compeution and crown competition, whlch can affect any one of the tvo plants. At the same time there should not be monotonous planting, so we can vary the species every 200 m along the corndor. There should be some umformity in ground spread at the maturitv stage If the ground spread is not umuform it wall be suitable to alternate species. Two of the shrub species are mentoned as trees m the plantauon scheme, which is a bit confusing and misleading It was enquired wvhether he has any suggestion for species along the eastern corndor, which can resist the salinty of water in the region. In response to which, No species can resist complete salinity. A4ziennza and R!hophora are the two species that grow in back-waters (mangrove sxvamps) can resist the salimnr Theipesza is available in the eastern corridor, which can resist the salinity Casurnna is also abundant along the northern part of eastern corridor. Species selected along the eastern corridor will have to be species that would resist salinity. Thespenia is the one that is most suitable for these areas. This species of tree would be vulnerable during strong winds. I W f:'cbruanr 2003 TIamil Nadu Road Scctor Ilro;cct Appendices to Consolidated E\ Report It is suggested bv LASA that having a wind breaker in the second row facing the coast and planung the Thexpesia can be looked into. Casunna can be planted but blo-mass is very less but dust screening capabiliues are less. Other species, Po#algza Ion,gifolia, erect variety is lengthy and conical. Responsibility of the person planung shall also be to ensure the survival of the plant and handing over the same to the Highways Department after 24 months wvith proper accounts. Opinion of the ACF was sought on the mnutgation measures suggested for wild life crossings at Reserve Forests along Arani-Polur, Polur-Chengam, Tirukovilur-Elavanasur Spotted Deer, Mlonkeys, Hares and lonitor Lizards cross these corridors. The folloving were the view' s expressed: Proxision of underpass xvill not be effecutve, as we cannot acclimauze the anmrnal to pass through it. Smce the purpose of animals to cross the roads in majority of the cases is in search of wvater, it is better to provide water making it unnecessary to cross the road. Provision of fencing along the stretch will itself regenerate the ecosystem to a large extent due to restricuon of the cattle movement into the forest areas But chain lnk fencing will be ideal compared to barbed wire fencmg. As in barbed wire fencing the animals themselves may get entangled and get injured. As both male and females are available in the RF, crossing the roads and coming out of RF for mating purposes is not possible. Providing percolation ponds on the side of RF does not yield water m the summer, when it is most required. This has happened in many cases of the region smce the water-source is not perennial. Instead of percolation ponds it is suggested to have small ponds with cement concrete sealing of size lm x 10m x 0.3m. Incase of Mudanai RF, continuous supply of wvater through a (11/2") hosepipe can be obtained from overhead tank constructed in nurserv m the RF even upto a distance of 500m. The shallow tanks will not submerge the animal incase it falls into the tank. Trenching will aid m controlling the wild 14fe crossing and also in improvmg the ecological value of the region as grazing by cattle is main reason for degradauon. For monkeys, plantation of fruit species in the RF can be suggested to provide shade, food and decrease their movements along the corridor. For Monitor lizards no mutigation is possible as they generally move through crevices and holes in the ground, and only occasionally they come to the surface. The animals sometimes cross the road in search of food in summer. Regarding the presence of crocodiles at Anaikkarn, it was told that these would be generally found in water. It prefers marshy places and it is a rare phenomenon to observe crocodile in terrestrial environment. Even though they occur it is difficult to predict the location of their occurrence Rather than crocodiles, snake movement is more in the rainy season. Pythons generally crosses the in the rainy season to go to the fields for catching frogs. The meeung concluded with thanks to the ACF for sparing hls ume for discussion [M . Fcbruanv 2003 Famil Nadu Road Scctor Projcct .\ppcndiccs to Conwoldatcd E.\ Rcport Appendix 6.2 (v): Consultation With Bharat Jairaj, CAG - Chennai Venue: CAG Office, Chennai Date. 29th Nlav 2002. Time 11 00 AM - 01 00 P M Attendees: From CAG: From LASA: Mr BharatJa1raj Dr D Bhactachan-a Ms Amarta M\ishra Thls Meeting was convened to obtain the views of CAG over the Corridor of TNRSP under Packages TNRSP02, 03 and 04 (hereafter referred as Eastern Corndor) It was also to obtain the sequence of events m their representations made for the project. The meeting started with a bnef introduction of the attendees and explanauon of the context of the meeung. Following are the proceedings at the meeting ivfr. BharathJairal said that the issue of massive tree fellng came into light when it was observed that massive tree cutting was taking place all along the East Coast Road. It matter was enquired from the Government of Tamul Nadu and it came to limelight that, no EIA had been done for the project road. On query about other issues, Mtr.Jairaj said that the CAG came up with the issue of roadside development m the begmning. On further probing, Mr. Bharath Jairaj came up with the issue of water and said that the CAG emphasizes heavily on the issue of water salinzation and scaraty of water as the water situation in these villages all along the project road (ECR) is grnm. In a study conducted, it was revealed that more than 50% of the rural settlements are devoid of Portable drinking water all along the project road. The development of ECR would mean a change in the livelihood of coastal people, a change in the coastal economrcs. The density of population along the road is also varying. The population here also belongs to a varying occupational structure. These areas are also cvclone affected as well as flood affected and the intensity ranges from high to very high. Planning for these areas should be done with due considerauon to these aspects. Ac some places within the corndor, the road is just 100 mEs away from the coastlne. Dunng monsoons whole of thls road is flooded. Mlr. Bharath Jairaj questioned us do we really need this kind of road especlally at the cost of disrupting the environmental setting Do we reallv need this kind of expensive mnvesument for the roacP The per km estimated cost roughly accounts to one crore In the beginmng the Highways Deparument was going for four lanung of the road, which was vehementlv opposed by the CAG Industral Development is most lkelv to take place with the coming up of the road, which wll involve more usage of water. Thus, water intensive activities would have to be prohibited. He also mentioned that ECR is an Other Distrct Road, which is being improved. According to a studv conducted by Kinhill it was revealed that after evenr 1.2 kms there is settlement along the project road. IM P - Februarv 2003 lTamil Nadu Road Sector Project Appendices to ConbohIdated E.\ Report It is not essental to have the speed linut 80-100 as the coastal road is surrounded by settlements \When a vehicle traverses across the road, in order to lower down the speed Kinhlll suggested the recommendauon of the CAG that there will be traffic signs on the road in blue or yellow indicaung lowermg down of the speed owing to a villages nearby There has been an overall dejecuon towards the TNRSP owing to the past experiences of the first phase of the East Coast Road. He said that transparency is required and unless the previous issues of the first phase are not catered to, there is no point to start with the second phase as people are not ready to accept owing to slackening procedures of the government. NMr. Bharath Jairal said that yet another issue is that of accidents along the East Coast Road. He showed several newspaper clippings, wvhlch reported incidents of the mishaps The slope of Tamil Nadu is tilted towards the South East Direcuon, which leads to massive drainage problem dunng raining season. Durng the monsoons some areas along the East Coast Road which get completely washed away. He said that the coming up of road might lead to some changes in the Social networking. On questoning about the other NGOs and experts working in thls field and area, he told us about Ajit Kaujalki, who is working with the INTACH in Pondichery on East Coast Road and another NGO named Coastal ActLon Network in Nagapattnam. Mr.Jalira showed us the report on ground water study conducted by CBSR Sharma of Salim Ali school of Ecology, Pondicherry. He also and showed us maps that were based on survey conducted on the location of acquifers, perenmal water shortage points, etc. Subsequently another meeung was organized and the minutes are documented below.

Venue: CAG OfFice, Chennai Date: 31- IMav 2002 Time: 11 45 A At Attendees: From CAG From LASA Mr 13h.iritJi r-q ftr >1ir:h Kr D-imo-da.,r Mis Arinra .Mishra The meeung was initiated with the customarv introduction The objective of the meeung was to get some information on the methodology that was adopted with regards to the ground water study conducted by Msr. C.B.S R. Sharma utded "Ecological Survev of East Coast Road" With the query on methodology, the views obtained are as follows MrJaira; told that the approach that was adopted was an indicauve one. Its primary objecuve was to bring forth the grim water situation all along the coastal road. They wanted the World Bank to use such a study as an indicator for further study of the coast road. Mfr. Jairaj also said that thls report has not done any tesung or scientfic experiment to know the salinuy of water but through people's percepuon they have idenufied certain locations where there is water shortage and salt intrusion. But the report is vendical and it has used saenufic experts and no one can say that the issues that have come out of the analysis are not correct. NlrJairaj referring to the previous consultation said tha,t the salt content of the water is very high here. It was asked that when did the problem start in terms of umpacts' MfrJairaj said that the mam problem lies at the construction stage. If the constructon of the road does not take into account then it is going to pose problems. It was enquired if certam policles were considered, as anyone who is going for development; needs an approval by the Ground Water Control Polluution Board. lMfr. Jaira; m response said that there was large difference between approval and registrauon and there is no departmental integration and coordmation He further pointed our that the NMiustrv had claumed Hotels and Industries as water intensive activiues hence should be prohibited along the seaward side of the coastal road yet, todav we find that there are large industrial complexes and hotels which have come up on the East Coast Road during the first phase despite the prohibition by the Ministry Referrng to the Gujarat study on ground water which took nearly 10 years to complete. and has come out with this conclusion that all the water intensive activities in Kutch area like agricultural farming have to be prohibited due to the salintv of water. If we take that example, the problem with the ECR is also the same and stnce this issue is so vital and lessons can be learnt from Gujarat case, whv not prohibit anv kind of activlty, which are not going to be sustainable The change in landuse has not kept pace with the road development. Though road is a catalvst to the development of a place but in some cases as in the case of ECR it can also be a negauve factor in terms of development. It was commented that one of the major hurdles for the Highway Department is that they do not have any control over the landuse. Februanr 2003 Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project Appendices to Consolidated EA\ Report Mr. Jairaj readily agreed with the statement and added that the kind of investment being made on the road is worth thinking. Moreover issues like induced development have to be studied, one needs to learn lesson from the first phase "Chennal-Cuddalore" and see that same mistakes are not repeated. It was asked if there were any issues that were idenufied on the ECR Mr Jairaj said that they are the same as given to the expert committee (Natrajan Committee) He also argued that it is xvell known to everyone that these districts through wvhich the road passes are the most backward pockets of Tamil Nadu but does that mean that coming up of road is the onlv solution to its development. The government wants to open it, but it cannot be at the cost of detornauon of people lving close to it. Next quesuon put forvard by LASA was m terms of enhancements of road (the idea of Scenic road development). Mr Jairaj did not have any objecuons to that provided it involves less displacement and less impact on the structures. M,r. Jairaj stressed the need of an Integrated Coastal Development Plan and the development of coastal villages. On asking any active NGO in the field of Mangrove forests. Mr. Jairaj referred us to MS Swamnathan Foundauon. With regards to the Coastal Zone Management Plan he said that the first CZiIP was first submitted in the year 1994 after which it has gone under revision. He asked us to contact Mr. Balaji, Director of Environment. The meeting concluded with thanks to Mr Jairaj for the information provided and also the document "Ecological survey of east coast road". Februarn 2003 Taintl Nadu Road Sector Project .\ppendices to CoonbohIdared E\ Report Appendix 6.2 (vi): Consultation with INTACH, Pondicherrv Venue: INTACH, Pondicherrv Date: 7h August 2002 Time: 11 43 A Ml - 01 30 P MI Attendees: From INTACH: From LASA: Mr Apr Koujolgi Mfr R Visw-anathan Mr Sn,mh Kr Damod-ira This Meeting was convened to obtain the views of INTACH over the Corridor of TNRSP under Packages TNRSP02, 03 and 04 (hereafter referred as Eastern corridor) It wvas also to apprise INTACH of the latest changes incorporated in the engineenng design to reflect the views of various NGOs and INTACH Following are the proceedings at the meeung: 1 The meeting started with a bnef introduction amongst the attendees and the context of the meeung 2. Mfr. Apt has expressed his views on the Eastern corrdor, keeping in view the shortcomings in ECR from Chennai - Cuddalore. The views put forward are as below. The vision expressed by him is that the ECR & the Eastern corrdor should be seen as a scenic route giving a feeling of serenity to the users whule drivtng past the beaches and places of tourist importance. It should not be seen as a corridor carrying heavy vehicular traffic (caterng to the needs of the industries) xwith constant honking of horns disturbing the existing serene atmosphere. A dossier consistng of all newspaper clippings regarding ECR/TNRSP from 1992 - 1997 was given to LASA for reference - The road if laid with the view to open the hinterland for development, would result in safety hazard to the roadside vlllages (for children, cattle etc). The road with its mduced development wlll result in major impacts on salility and ground water potential. For improved safety along the settlements, it is essenual to bnng about changes in the texture/colour of the pavement incdcating the shlft from rural landuse to the urban and cautioning the user about reduced speeds. The road laying had a major impact on the roadside trees along the ECR and it should not be repeated in TNRSP It is becoming increasingly difficult to raise the plantations to maturtv Thts is evident from failure of compensatonr planung in other projects. The plantation scheme proposed as part of TNRSP does not provide any shade to the road users It should be so modified that it forms an avenue providing shade to the slow moving traffic (for whom it is essenual). Instead of opening the coastal region to development, the INTACH alternauve can be improved Feeder roads from the NH-45 and che INTACH alternauve can provide necessary connectivitv to che coastal vLllages through out. All the recommendauons by MloEF and EFD of TN for ECR should be adopted for TNRSP as well. The road level should not be raised so high that all run off from road flows into the settlements. [ $ ~Februair 2003 'I'amil Nadu Road Scctor lroject -\ppcndiccs to Consolidated LA Report A study' on salnity intrusion due to induced development along the corridors has to be conducted. A study on salinty levels done by HARVEST and Auroville Greenworks Resource Centre at three vlllages in Pondccherry was shown Carrymg capacity of the coastal area has to be determmned and the distance upto, which developmental activiues are to be restricted, is also to be idenufied. 3 The response of LASA with respect to the above is as follows Most of the concerns expressed by INTACH have been incorporated in the updated cross-secuons The cross-sections are designed so as to reduce impacts on roadside settlements and trees. All trees bevond 1 to 1.5m will be retained Siumlarlv, maximum intrusion of buildings will be limted to lm from the edge of the kerb i.e., all such structures shall not be affected. The scenic nature that exists at present wvll not be impacted to the extent impacted along ECR. Drains are provided in the cross-section for collection and disposal of run-off in urban secuons as well Table of MIoEF and EFD of TN recommendauons along with the TNRSP response was discussed. Difference of opiunon was there m respect of plantauon scheme. Response of LASA has been that plantation scheme proposed shall be reviewed and will be discussed With respect to salinty mtrusion and induced development, a study has been taken up by LASA. The methodology mcludes Identtficauon of ground water potenual, Identification of activities/landuses, which increase the ground water demand; suggestion of developmental controls for control of such landuses along roadsides. These suggesuons will neea to be implemented by the concerned authonties. Out come of the study will be discussed in landuse workshop that would be conducted by the PIU. 4. The meetmg concluded with IvMr. AXit Koujoulgi with a request to formalize the meeting proceedings. He was requested to provide some more contacts working in the field of ground water and salinity intrusion.

Owvner of Famina Aquafarms The objective of the meeung was to have detailed informarion on the process adopted for salt making and shrimp farming. Also it was to know from the stakeholders, the Lhikelv Impacts or benefits they envisage from the road construction. The effect of the road is to have on their producuon cycles, capacities and markeung avenues. Following are the proceedings at the consultautons: Salt Pan Owners: One of the salt pan owners consulted at km 27.000 on TNRSP03, Tondi - Devipattnam secuon is owning 10 acres of salt pans and has been his familiy's traditional occupation for the past 3 generauons. No new salt pans have been opened in the recent past. The permission for operaung salt pans is obtained from the VAO. The salt pan is being operated with about 8 labourers. Ground water is the source of water. It is pumped up froAm open well. Water level from the ground is below 6-7m. Water will be retained in the salt pans for 4 days, whlch iS filled imually at 11/2". The salt brokers come to the salt pans and buy the salt to sell it m nearby markets. For the query whether there is anv nouceable change in the salinity content, the response was that the salt content has been increasing for the past 4 to 5 year. Water is obtained from a depth of about 2Oft. The salnty of ground water is reported to be higher than the salnity of seawater. It is menuoned that the with a salinity meter (unit menuoned as degrees) when dipped in sea water it shows between 3 to 4 degrees where as the ground water obtained shows 12 unuts of salmnty. There are some patches near Devlpattinam and Tiruppalakk-udc that have some fresh water reserves. All other locauons all vield saline water Shrimp Farm Owners: The shrimp farm owners are aware of the TNRSP and are said to be eagerly waiting for the project imiaUon. The source of water for these shrlimp farms is sea water itself. It is being pumped from the sea and transported through the canals to the ponds. The quanurv of water used is asked for and the response was About 3 ft water depth wiU be maintained for 3 months over an area of i 5 ha Water will be replaced to brnng the sahnuty every week from about 40% to 30°o to make it conducive for growth of shrimp No fresh water is being used in chls farm to further bring down the salinit levels Regarding the increase in salinity levels for the past 40-30 years it was asked whether he found any difference to which his response was that he could not find much difference in the past few vears. However, during hls child hood a day, there used to be good rains and a greater volume of fresh Februan 2003 TIa:md NadLi Itoad Sector Projecr .\ppendiccs to ComrohdatLd U \ Report water was available. Probably because of failure of monsoon now a davs the salnty has increased. Even at present from Devipattinam to Nagapatunam along the coastal road no fresh water is available. There has been virus attack in the stretch hence no shrimp is being grown for the past 2 months. Near Pattukk-ottai, some farms are functional The owner also has salt pans also some 4 km towvards north. He uses the ground water for producing salt and also says that the salimlt in ground w-ater is hlgher than the sea water. The sea water has about 30 ppt where as ground water there wllB be having salmnitt varving from 70 to 100 ppt. At one well the ground water had a salimr of 80 ppt about 30 years back even now, there is no change in the saliniry levels. For our query as to whether the existing salnitv of water is suitable for prawn or anv fresh water needs to be added, the response was Ideal salmity for prawn culture is 20-25 ppt. Since fresh water is not available in the stretch between Tondi-Devipatutnam it is not being mixed and prawn is being grown in the salinty of 30-40ppt. The practice of mixing fresh water to lower the saliruty levels is practiced near Pattukkottal. One such Aquafarm was visited before reaching Manora As the labour are not having any other occupation and there is no agncultural land they are prefernng to work in the salt pans or aquafarms. They express their dissatisfaction over delay in start of the project. They said that they have a lot of problems in commuting over the road. Over the querv upto what distance from the coast salinity is high, the response was: there is no ground water i e., no good groundwater for domesuc or drmiking purposes upto 30km from the coast. The meeting concluded with a thanks for pro-nding the information. February 2003 I[amrl Nadu Road Sector Project A\ppcndice, to Con,oZdartcd 1A Report Appendix 6.2 (ix): Consultation with Mr. Karunagaran, MISSRF, on Mangrove Conservation Venue: N\ S Swairunathan Research Foundation, Niuthupet Date: 19 08 2002 Time: 6 30 PM[ Attendees: From LASA From NISSRF Mr Satish Kr Damodara Mr Karunagaran. Ste Coordinator Mr R \iswanathan The objecuve of the meeting was to have a detailed informauon on the conservauon techniques of mangroves along the east coast. Since the MSSRF is acrive in the mangrove conservauon at Palk- Strait it was felt prudent to have frst hand informaton from the experts. The Mfeetng started with a general introduction to varnous programs that have been undertaken in the Palk Strait Following are the detailed proceedings of the meeung The conservauon procedure involves generating awareness among the local people regardmg the utllity of mangrove species, dangers of clearng mangrove forests and also on the micome generating opportunuies from the mangrove eco-systems. iLcro plans for regeneration, conservauon and propagation of mangroves wlll be prepared at the field level by the local people. One sample of the micro plan has been prepared and it has been the model for preparauon of further plan preparauon. AUternative livelihood schemes for the people dependent on the mangroves traditionally have been devised and training will be given. It was informed that the training will. be generally given by expertise built up mhouse and some times views of external consultants wllu be procured. Such livelihood schemes such as coir making, fishing un the mangroves, shnmp seed preparation, aquaculture in small scale etc wlfl be encouraged. Regarding techmiques/procedure for planung and conserving mangroves, the following informauon was delivered. It was told that the first step would be to generate awareness among people. The likely impacts the project was explained and it was told that some poruon of the mangroves can be adopted for conservauon. Thus would be as a compensauon for the effect caused bv the project It was explamed that the modalties of implementauon would be work-ed out bi- the specialist agencv to which the task shall be assigned. The present objecuve is to know the practical techniques that can be assessed for their implementabilirv It was explained that the technique to be chosen is dependent on the site charactensucs and shore charactensucs. There are tvo techniques as Fish bone techmuque and canal technique. The techniques were explained wvith the help of designs prepared by MSSRF for Palk- Strait and Adiramapatnam. There are traditonal fishing grounds in the Palk Strait formed due to intersution of 8 major canals inland in the north-south direction. February 2003 'Iamil Nadu Road Sector Project \ppcndiccs to Consolidated 1A.\ Report The area that has to be developed xvwli be divided into a netvork of canals under both the techniques. There will be major canals connecung to the above said canals m the transverse direction. There will be smaller canals dug connectng the higher width of canals. These canals of same hierarchy wilvl not be interconnected to avoid movement of sea current in the same closed circuit. During high ude inundauon of the canals wtll take place and will bring along a lot of silt as well as fish seeds, shnmp seeds and other aquauc fauna. During lowt ude it should be ensured dtat water recedes completely and that the sea water is not stagnant. The canals constructed should be regularlv desilted to have the same grade and depth The mangroves shall be planted at the level of lov tide. The roots of the mangroves so developed xwill be a home for a wide vanent fish and shrimp that can be harvested at regular intervals and act as income generating acuvity However, this is a labour mtensive technique that can be adopted onlr with the acuve parucipauon of local people.

The pnvate negotiauon does not actually allow for negotiauon. The process is just to inform the PAPs of the land value. In response to dus the Tahsrldar stated that the rates specified by the landowners could not be established in records to award the amount equal to their claim. The PAPs came back to the price for the lands complaunng that: "we are given very less value as compensation for our land under agnculture. The nearby lands have already converted into residential use due to the expansion of the town. Since we have not converted our lands into residential purposes the project authonties should consider giving us a better value." The Keelakarat region has faced drinking water problem due to salimty for many decades. The people of this region use botded water.

The study includes identification of (a) natural habitat issues along the project road and special needs for natural habitat conservaauon, including the degree of threat to identified natural habitats and (b) measures for protecung such areas. Box 3. Main features of the Bank's Natural Habitats Policy (OP 4.04) The policy on natural habitats contains two major provisions with respect to biodiversity conservation and EA. Firstly, it prohibits Bank involvement in projects, which involve significant ;conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats. These include: existing protected areas and adjoining or linked areas or resources (such as water sources) on which the protected areas depend; and sites-identified as meriting protection. Secondly, where natural habitats out-side protected areas, are-within a project's area of. influence, the' project must not convert them significantly unless . ' . :.. . • There are no feasible alternatives . - . o The EA demonstrates that benefits substantially outweigh the costs * Mitigation measures acceptable to the Bank are implemented, which would normally include support for one or more compensatory protected areas that are ecologically similar to, and no smaller than, the natural habitats adversely affected by the project.

The Reserve comprises 21 islands and, with a land area of 623 ha and seas shallower than 3 3 fathoms on the landward side of the islands. The nearest among the 21 islands, Karnvashu, lies at a distance of about 7 km from the road upgrade The Gulf of Nlannar is the first farine Biosphere Reserve not onlv in Indlia, but in South and South-east Asia. Biophvsical uniqueness, economic, social, cultural and scienufic importance, national and global significance, and management compatiblity at the local and nauonal level, were used as the basis for selectung the reserve as a pnoritv site (Gulf of Alannar Alana,gement Plan, Draft). The Gulf of Mannar Blosphere Reserve comprises 21 islands, mostlv of coral orgin The manne resources supported bv the Bio Reserve are descnbed below Coral Reefs The islands are built of a calcareous framework of dead corals and coral reefs. There are appro.imately 120 species of coral belonging to 33 genera associated with these reefs (INeelakantan, 1995). The coral reefs support a wide variety of marne animals, vegeration and a great diversity of algae, sponges, and fish. The coral reefs are rapldly detenorating as a result of human interference, greater silt inflow drainig from the mainland, winds blown sand and other causes Coastal Wetlands There are a wide variety of natural wetlands along the coast, including estuaries, salt marshes, udal flats and coastal lagoons Most of the weedands offer valuable habitat for btrdlhfe Of parucular importance are the weedands with mangroves and the coastal lagoons with extensive vegetation.

M\ost of it is tropical drv evergreen forest. The Sanctuary is 25 km from the Eastern Corridor The Forest Department has proposed to extend the sanctuarv to the west, vast salne marshes that stretch from the Sanctuary to Mlutate. Along wvith the rich terrestrial flora (300 plant species) of the adjoinng dry evergreen forests at Point CalLmere and Kodrakk-adu. these marshes support more than 260 species of resident and migratory birds belonging to 50 familhes. With the onset of the northeast monsoon in October, many passenne and aquatic species arnve from Russia, Iran, Australia, Europe, North India and other places. Important species include flamingos, pelicans, white ibis, casplan term, storks, gulls, wild ducks, stints, sandpipers and plovers. Mi\ost of the birds leave by the end of January when salt extracuon commences. Pomt Calimere has the second largest congregation of flammngoes in India after the Rann of Kutch The birds come mosdy for feeding and evidence of breeding is not available. During the 1980s roughlv 50,000 flamingos were recorded, but the numbers have dropped to below 10,000 because of blotic interference, fishing activities, and the effects of salirunt (ii) Wild life Sanctuarv along Maintenance Corridors Only one of the corridors, the Ambasamudram Papanasam Road. in Tirunelveli Distnct is in close proximity to the Niundanthurai Wild life Sanctuan- The other maintenance corridors do not pass through or close to any Sanctuary or National Park.

The forest is patch! because of human setdements (villages) mside the forest at several places. Instances of animal movement, especiallv of spotted deer, across the road were also reported The Forest Department has constructed check dams in several places m this forest to make it unnecessary for the deer to cross the road for water. But consultations with Forest Officials have revealed the fact that chances of such crossings are very remote. (I1) PARVATHAMALA-AI RESERVE FOREST - POIUR CHENGA.M ROAD LINK The impact of the road upgrade will be greatest betveen Kadaladi and Munnurmangdam between Km 22.0 - 23 0, where Sn Amman and Av-vanar temples are situated and where the road is closest to the forest. Here, a Fiaus benbhalenu.; tree (a sacred tree) is found on the northern side of the road, at a distance of 3 meters from the edge of the road. On thls tree, mans birds reside during the night hours At this location there are man! monkeys crossing the road often. Deer cross the road at this site from the forest to the southern cultivated area dunng the summer season wvhen there is water scarcity in the forest area. Thus birds, monkevs and deer may- be directly affected due to the proposed road upgrade. Further, increased noise from increased traffic flows might disturb the animals occurring in the intenor forest area. In most locauons the roadside plants that will be affected bv the road upgrade are common shrubs and thorny species and not any forest species (111) MIUNNAR.MI.\NGA\LAM AND IUI) \NAi RrS-.R\-I FOREST - PoIw.

The Forest Department first introduced Acacia plants, which showed very slow growth, and so Eucalyptus is now bemg planted by clearng the forest. Such clearng and planting programmes are done every year. Cattle's grazing is another threat to this habitat. About 500 cattle are grazmg regularly in dts forest The proposed road upgrade is not likelv to have any adverse impact on the plant species of the forest because the road passes through only one end of the forest and the roadside areas have already been cleared for Eucalyptus plantauon The threatened deer, which occur in the forest area, are said to cross the road from the forest side to the opposite culuvated land area occasionallv during the summer season to drnk water. Hence mutigation measures are necessary to avoid anv adverse impact.

(D) Impact on Reserve Forests along Maintenance Corridors One of the maintenance corridors, the Salem Vaivambadi Road, in Dharmapuri district passes through Resenre Forest About 2 IKm of the corndor from Km 73.8 to 75.8 crosses the RF. Deer crossings along thus stretch are also reported. During the operation stage, the impacts may arise from the increased accessibiltv of the area, which can lead to increased human influence. Adequate safent measures have been worked out for the minimisation of adverse impacts dunng construcuon (E) Impact on Wild life Sanctuary/Biosphere Reserve along Eastern Corridor The nearest point of the Udavamarthandapuram Birds Sanctuarv les at a distance of approxmatelv aOOm from the road upgrade. Upgrading the road will cause disturbance to the avifauna of the Sanctuary due to the increased traffic nolse. As the Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve and Point Calimere Sanctuarv, lies at a distance of more than 7 km off the corndor. Hence no major impacts on the Biosphere Reserve likely due to the proposed project. (F) Impact on Wild Life Sanctuarv along Maintenance Corridors Mlajonty of the mamtenance cormdors does not pass through or close to any Sanctuary or Nauonal Park. Only one of the corndors, the Ambasamudram Papanasam Road, in Tirunelvelh Distnct is in close proximity to the Mlundanthurai \N'dd hfe Sanctuarv As major maintenance of the comdors does not include any land up take no adverse impact on the roadside plantation or the flora outside the Corndor of Impact is anucipated. Durmg the operauon stage, the impacts arnse mainly from the increased accessilblitv of the area, whlch can lead to increased human influence. Adequate safenr measures have been worked out for the mnmusation of adverse impacts dunng construction. (G) Impact on Mangroves The project roads along the Eastern Corndor pass near areas wvith mangrove vegetation However none of these areas are sigmficantly close to the road to be impacted or wvithin the Right-of-Way of the road to warrant removal. Hence implementauon of the project wvill not cause any removal or degradauon of mangrove species. Setting up of labour camps /construcuon sites near such areas and movement of any construcuon machmen- / vehicles close to such area ,vill impact the ecosystem.

The frequency of animal crossings, particular crossing routes and the reasons for crossmg etc were discussed. It was found in most of the cases that the deer cross the roads in search of drmking water and monkevs go out of the forests in search of food, usuallv from agricultural fields or habitations nearby. Thls issue is more pronounced during the summers. This has been largely due to the non-availability of a drinking source within the forests. It was felt prudent that provision of a drnking source within the forests would be a more lasting solution than provicdng safe passages for animal crossmigs. Also, the effectiveness and uutlty of such crossings m minimizing collision with vehicles is not verv encouraging To mminimze the movement of the monkeys along the corndor, planting fruit species that prov-ide fruits at different seasons of the year as well as tender shoots are suggested at locations specified m Table 8 2.5. The selection of the species to be planted is to be finalized durmg the implementation in consultation wVith the local forest officials. Prevention of access / control of grazing within forests: To prevent the ammals in the forest coming onto the roads and to protect the forest from grazmg cattle, buffer plantations compnsing of a thick vegetative barrier of Parkinsonia aculata and Aia4a lactronomis is planned. The planting wUll be done within the RoW'. The species that are thorny, non-palatable and not of utmber value have been suggested. 3 staggered row wvvill be provided at a distance of 1 m.

The sanctuarv attracts about 30000 bLrds betveen October and Januarv. The impact anticipated due to the project is the increased noise levels during constuction The construcuon work should be scheduled for periods outside October to January time frame, so as to mnmuTize the impacts on migratorv species. (z) Conrtration stage Durng the construction penod, all prevenuve and precautionary measures that have been suggested for construcuon widthin the Reserve Forest stretches will be, taken up. Besides those, the contractor shall ensure that the movement of construction equipments and machinery, mcludng the movement of construcuon crew should be restrcted to at least a distance of 300m from the wetland portuon of the sanctuary to avoid any impacts to the avifauna. (it) Operation stage During the operauon of the road, no impacts are expected because the most of the species of migratorv birds are high flying and are not vulnerable to colhsion. Signboards informing the road- users about the sanctuarv shall be provided along the road on either side. Thls mformative signage wLl also depict latest avallable data on the population and diversitv of the avifauna species of inrerest and other information on the sanctuarv mne umproved road can also encourage an additonal influx of visitors in the Sanctuary.

Avenue planrauons are suggested all along the rural stretches of the upgradation roads. A concept has been evolved so as to mainamn visual characteristics and unuformitv in terms of landscape along the stretch. (B) Buffer Plantations along Forest Stretches The Northern corridor passes through reser-ed forest areas at 8 locatons (Refer Table 8.2.6). At these locauons, to prevenc cattle from encroaching onto the forest land a vegerauive barner has been proposed. Planting wllU be done within the Ro%N' Species that are thorny. non-palatable and not of umber value have been suggested. These include Parkinionza a,wlata (xerophNtic adaptation) and 14aLza lattronomis. 3 staggered row wvill be provided at a distance of I m (C) Tree Plantations within Forest Areas Though not directly impacted due to the project. there are tvo locatons where monkevs wichin the forests cross the project corndor in search of water and food (Refer Table8.2.5). As part of the project, enhancement measures as the provision of water sources within the forests and fruit beanng trees are suggested The Forest department shall select species for planung such that fruits are avaulable round the year.

The temple structure is located at Km 94.5 between Jayamkonadam to Kumbakonam at a distance of 70 m from the centrelne of the existing road. It was the capital of the Cholas established by Ralendra Chola I (1012 - 1044 AD). A temple erected at the site bespeaks the imperial dcgnrty of Chola art and victorious mood of the royal patron, after his successful campaigns in the Deccan up to the Ganga Valley, earmng for him his title "Gangau Kondan". The temple, smilar in style to the Than)avur Temple, has a tower of i80 feet over the sanctum sanctorum. The flora and fauna of the area is of no special sigmficance, except for the Blue Rock Pigeon and the Rose Ringed Parakeet that live in the temple tower. Along the Eastern Corrndor between Mluthupet and Kattumavadi (Km 26.0 -27.0) the Nlanora Commemoration Tower is located at a distance of about 1 Km from the road. It was built by King Sarojli II in 1814. The monument is protected by the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology (d) Sacred Groves (z) A/ong Upgradatzon Corridors In evenr village m Tamil Nadu there is a pond or tank with a shnne on its bank-s (Krishna and Prabbakaran. 1997). Nearbv is a grove of trees, or perhaps a single ancient tree. In many villages along the Cormdor, sacred groves12 are observed. In most cases a temple/shnne is the central feature surrounded by number of trees. The trees at some places are very old and also considered sacred by the local people. In other cases ponds/tanks are found in close vicinutv of the grove Some faunal species local to the area and in a few cases some migratory avian species have been observed near some of the groves.

In most cases a temple/shnne is the central feature surrounded by number of trees. The trees at some places are very old and also considered sacred by the local people. The eastern corridor passes near manv sites of religious, historical, and/or cultural slgnificance Betveen Muthupet and Kattumavadi (Km 26 0 - 27 0) the Mfanora Commemoration Tower is located at a distance of about 1 Km from the road. Like northern corndor tlhs stretch is also close to few sacred groves. ENHANCEMENT GUIDELINES OF CULTURAL PROPERTIES Guidelines for Enhaniernent o The proposed design should provide a suitable paved area around in front of the cultural propertm o Seating arrangement if required, should be mcorporated preferably around e.xsting shade trees, the tLpical tree seauing drawings can be referred. o All the proposed micro arrangements should be form a comprehensive harmomius design scheme o Proper signage/use of hazard marker etc should be provided on basis of the location of the property. o Suitable matenals requLring minimum/no maintenance should be used Homogeneity in use of material should be preferred along the package. The location should be reviewed from point of user safety too AccordinglI, crash barrier. railng/hazard master Zebra crossing should be proposed if significant people are observed to cross the road to use the propertr. The enhancement designs should if possible try to restrict spread to future encroachment of the propertv towards the roadside for e.g -Proposing an inroverted design -Buffer of brick linng towvards roadside -Redirecting the access from side Febru.an 2003 Ila1mil Ntadu Road Sctor Plroject \ppcndiceo to (Cotiolidarcd FA.\ Report If che cultural propertv is in conjunction \vith for otn edge of a water bodv, the interfere between the steps coo should be enhanced such as providing access to the pond from the temple or a viewing space/terrace and the edge Tree if proposed should be selected on basis of availabiitL- rate of growth shade value etc Eucalyptus trees are not to be proposed. except in waterlogged areas and at least 3-10 m awav trom road edge CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTIES The criterlon ror the selection of sites suitable for enhancement wvas based on four factors FLrstly their Importance for the local people secondl- the religious significance. thlrdlv, the historical Lmportance and fourthlv the scope for enhancements The importance of the site for the local people as \vell as che hlstoncal slgnificance was identified through extensive discussions with the local communitv and general observations of the sites and structures. The scope for enhancement included the possibilitv of anv further improvement, avallabilitv of space for enhancements and the likely benefits for the local communitv as well as the road users Poor condiuon of some historical structures was a constraint m selecung sites for enhancement. Such sites tough having hugh histoncal values exlst in a very bad physical condiuon. At such places enhancement measures have no meaning without restonng the main structure, which is beyond the scope of the enhancement works IMPACTS ON CULTURAL PROPERTIES Impact On Religious and Historic Sites The conservaton of sites of cultural, hentage and religlous significance in Tamul Nadu depends on visits by pllgrims and tounsts to provide the necessary funds. The upgrading of Corndors will be beneficial to conservauon of the manv historic and religious sites on or near the Corndors by improving accessibilitv and therefore the number of visitors. Construction stage Potenual impacts on religlous and histonc sites durng the construction stage relate to the possibility for phvsical damage to occur to structures located close to the road works. Implementation of mitigation measures should ensure that no permanent damage is caused to such structures. Operation stage In the longer term, the construction of the ten bypasses along the Northern Corndor and three bypasses along the Eastern Corridor wil make a direct contnbuuon co the conservation of monuments i congested towns such as T-vannamalai, Chidambaran etc bv removing a lot of the through traffic Impact on Sacred Groves The sigtuficance of these sites in religlous, aestheuc as wvell as ecological terms has been taken into account in the design of the road upgrade The Sadakatu sacred grove (Km 11 0-12.0) along Tiruvannamalai Tirukkovdur road will get paruallv affected due to the proposed road upgrade The sacred puththu (termite mount), worshlipped by the local people, located off the shoulder of the road needs to be removed No other significant impact is expected on the sacred groves due to the road widening activities. MITIGATION MEASURES/ENHANCEMENT FOR CULTURAL PROPERTIES The sites identified as sultable for enhancements along the TNRSP corridors can be classified into three broad categories on the basis of values attached wvith them. These include the cultural sites having only religious value, those having both the religious as well as hlstorical value and those uIcbruir- 003 Tamil Nadu Road Sector Plroject .\ppcndiccs to Consohidate 1i..\ RcpL t having only h1storical values. Of the above-mentioned three categories the second one has been given prinme importance in the enhancement proposals Deyz3;n Concepts - Overiview The concept for enhancements is based on the suggestions given by the people Extcnsive commuinit- consultations were carried out on each of the enhancement sites The information gathered included the age of the structuie. importance for the local people. rellglous significance, historical importance, the size of the population usinig it. suggestions for enhancements, willingniess of people to parucipate, etc The site observation also provided vital inputs in concept formulation It provided the general informauon about the condiuon of the main structure and the surrounding, visibility of the enhancement site from the project road, the scemic beauty of the site as wvell as the surrounding area etc In case religlous places, the enhancements are suggested on the basis of the usage. For example paving is suggested around the temple in most of the cases as people move around the temple This ntual known as pradakshzra is a common practice in most of the temples in Tamul Nadu. Similarlv in mosques paving is proposed in front side wvlhere people pray on Fridavs. The type of paving proposed varies at different places within a site according to the use of spaces and their relative importance. For example the paving proposed in front of temple is different than that for approach pavement, which is again different from the paving forpradakshzna Such hierarchv m the paving pattern is maintained in all the enhancement proposals. In the religious places hke temples mosque, dargah and church where large number of people gatlers weekly or annually, measures are taken for the safety of the people, as they tend to spllh over on road. Compound wall and fencing is suggested as safet measures at such places. In many cases the local people were concerned about the safety of the property Compound wall i-ith gate and fencing are proposed for such sites There are many important religious and histoncal centers that are accessible from the project road. Approach enhancement is proposed at the place where the approach meets the project road The enhancement measures are suggested to emphasize the presence of important such religious or historical place. The measures include provision of arch or columns with decorative and proper signage These measures are conceived in such a way so as to reflect the architectural characterisucs and the religious or historic sigruficance of the place There are sites along the project corridor. wlhich have hlgh historical significance, but are neglected The lack of awvareness among the people and negligence on the part of authonues is evident form the v-ery state of these stuuctures Enhancement measures for these sites are proposed in such a wav as to increase pubhc awareness, wvuch may in turn lead to conservation of these structures, by the concerned authorities. The sites having good scenic beautry and ample space for parking and sitting are conceived as potenual stopovers. Shading and pleasant views are considered important in such places. The presence of pond near stopover is considered preferable as it not onlv gives a pleasant vlew but also provides refreshing cool breeze.
