INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Background The Lucknow Muzaffarpur National Highway Project (LMNHP) is along NH-28 on the East-West corridor of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP). It is a part of phase-lIl programme of the East-West Corridor development that is about strengthening and widening of the existing two-lane National Highway 28 to four-lane dual carriageway configuration. LMNHP consists of five consultancy packages- C ll/i, C 111/2, CIII/3, C111/5, Gorakhpur Bypass. Each consultancy package is further divided into multiple contract packages for the purpose of road construction and implementation of environmental management action plan. Consultancy Package C 111/2 runs from Ayodhya (Km 142.500) to Gorakhpur (Km 251.700). Besides, it includes Ayodhya Bypass, a complete new road section to be built for a length of 6 Km. This covers a total length of 115.200 Km for package C 111/2 covering districts- Faizabad, Gonda, Basti, Santkabir Nagar and Gorakhpur. The package carries on an average 21,000 to 24,000-passenger car units (PCU) daily, based on the traffic survey conducted in the year 2002, with goods traffic amounting to about 52 - 55% of the total traffic. The traffic volume on most part of the section is expected to grow up to 150,000 to 159,000 PCUs at the end of design period of 30 years. The purpose of the proposed project is to cater to the increasing traffic volume, reduce travel time and transport costs besides improving socio- economic condition of the local population. Consultancy package C-l1l/2 has been divided into three full contract packages (Contract Package 1, 11 and ll). The project under consideration in this report is contract packaqie Ill of C-l1l/2. Chainage-wise description of the contract packages for the project road is provided in Table 1.1.

Sensitive areas None on the alignment or in close vicinity of the road 1.2.1 Summary of proposed improvements Alignment arrangement: Alignment arrangement (Annexure I) is proposed to be largely eccentric towards right with concentric arrangement predominantly in built up locations. Operations Research Group in associotion with Spatial Decisions 1-2 INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND CONSOLIDATION OF EIA, EMP AND RAP REPORTS FOR AYODHYA TO MUZAFFARPUR SECTION OF EAST WEST CORRIDOR FINAL SPECIFIC EMP Service roads: Service roads 5.5 m wide on both sides have been proposed at major built up locations with concentric alignment to separate highway traffic from local traffic and provide access to commercial and residential premises, bus stops etc. These are given in locations mentioned in Annexure II. Improvement of highway junctions: Three major highway junctions have been proposed for improvement to ease traffic situation. Chainage wise details of proposed highway junction improvements have been provided in Annexure ll. Underpasses: 7 pedestrian underpasses of size 7.5m x 2.5m have been proposed in the built up areas (Annexure IV). Cross Drainage Structure: There are 2 major bridges, 2 minor bridges (Annexure V) and 87 culverts in existence under the project stretch. The culverts are of slab (55), hume pipe (31) and arch (1) type. It is proposed to replace 4 of the slab culverts, 30 H.P. type culverts and 1 arch type culvert (Annexure VI). Construction of fly over near Sant Kabir Nagar: For allowing free flow of traffic on the project road, one flyover is proposed at Km. 233 at intersection with state Highway no. 88 near Sant Kabir Nagar. At present, near junction with the project road, State Highway No. 88 has two lanes. Considering future traffic requirements provision for 4 lane divided carriageway has been made under the flyover. Since the state highways, cross the project road at skew angle, for easy turning of the traffic at junction it is proposed to provide a main span of 45 m centre to centre of piers. Two adjoining spans, one on either side of the main span is proposed to be of 25.0 m c/c of piers. Each flyover is proposed to have 4 lane divided carriageway. Road over Bridge (ROB): There is a level crossing at Km 242.900. It is proposed to replace the level crossing with a four-lane ROB. Road Side Drain: The road is divided into 3 sections i.e. built up area with service road, built up area without service road and rural area. Road drainage is essential in the residential areas, namely villages and towns. Drains are proposed on either left or right side or on both sides depending on country slope with respect to road. No drains have been proposed in areas where terrain is sloping away from road on both sides (road passes through ridge line) or where ponds exist on both sides of the road. In all stretches with service road, covered concrete drains on both sides of the road are proposed. In villages with hutments on either side of the road without service road, an open drain either with brick or stone masonry is proposed.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING This chapter documents the major findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment process along with the baseline conditions that have been used to formulate the Environmental Management Plan including the mitigation and enhancement measures. The micro level data have been obtained from within a width of 30m either side of the existing centre line and the macro level data, as per the MOEF guidelines for conducting EIA have been collected from within 7 km radius of the project corridor. 2.1 Meteorology The project stretch is located in humid sub-tropical region. The climate is distinguished by three distinct seasons- Hot summer (from April to June), Warm humid rainy season (from July to September) and Cold winter (from November to February). The mean minimum and maximum temperature observed during winter is 9 and 23 degree Celsius. Similarly, the mean minimum and maximum temperature during summer is 25 and 44 degree Celsius. Wind is predominantly easterly and westerly from October to June and shifts easterly or south-easterly from July to September. Winds are in general very light but blow with force during late summer and monsoon seasons. The average wind velocity is 5 km/hr and ranges between 2 to 7.1 km/hr. The average annual rainfall in the project area observed is 1166 mm. The relative humidity is above 70% during monsoon and post-monsoon season. During summer season as the air is very dry the relative humidity decreases. The project is expected to bring a slight change in micrometeorology by raising daytime temperature on the road surface and soils with felling of trees. The impact is categorized as low adverse. 2.2 Physical Environment 2.2.1 Land Resources The topography of the entire section of the project stretch is open, plain and rolling. Area is mainly alluvial plain densely populated and in most parts highly cultivated though the level is only broken by the shallow valleys of the rivers. The average slope of the terrain is around less than 5 cm per Km and the fall of the slope is generally towards Southeast direction. The project corridor falls within Type-IV seismic zone with moderate to high seismic coefficient but the project is not expected to have any impact on the seismic stability of the area. Operations Research Group in association with Spatial Decisions 2-1 INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND CONSOLIDATION OF EIA, EMP AND RAP REPORTS FOR AYODHYA TO MUZAFFARPUR SECTION OF EAST WEST CORRIDOR FINAL SPECIFIC EMP The soils in the region are mainly of the alluvial type and are very fertile lands. Land use is primarily agriculture. Borrow areas have been identified at 3 locations in the project stretch, all on left side on privately owned land (Annexure VII). No new stone and rock quarries are proposed to be opened for the purpose of the project without prior clearances. Environmental impacts on the soils include compaction of soils, contamination of soils and loss of productive soils because of borrowing of earth, setting up of construction camps and erosion at embankments and sides of borrow areas. Besides changes in land use pattern are also envisaged, particularly during operation phase. 2.2.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring results of existing ambient air quality in the package stretch (Annexure VIII) indicate that level of pollutants monitored is well below the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Assessed project impacts on ambient air quality along the project stretch include increase in suspended particulate matter due to dust generation and gaseous pollutants such as CO, NO2 etc due to exhaust emissions. While increase in suspended particulate matter shall be predominantly during construction phase, exhaust gas emissions will result both during construction and operation phases. 2.2.3 Water Resources The rivers intersecting the project road are Katnaiya river at Km. 213.200 and Ami river at Km. 240.400.The project has direct impact on 5 ponds (Annexure IX). Monitoring results of surface water quality (Annexure X) reveal that water quality in general is good. However, it can not be used for directly for drinking purpose without prior treatment as it contains a high coliform count. Assessed results of ground water quality (Annexure Xl) reveal that the water quality is safe for drinking purpose except for hardness level which is slightly high than the permissible limits for drinking water quality standards. The existing cross drainage structures are inadequate that will deteriorate drainage condition in the vicinity of the road. But design stage has taken care of the drainage across the project stretch proposing replacement / construction of new cross drainage structures (Annexure VI). The provision will improve the drainage condition in the vicinity of the road. Impacts on water quality will largely be contamination of surface and ground water from construction activities and from wastewater discharge of construction camps, siltation problems in surface water, and stress on available water resources, mainly ground water resources for consumption in construction and domestic activities. 2.2.4 Noise Environment Ambient noise level monitoring (Annexure.XII) was done near Khalilabad crossing/ junction. Results indicate that day time noise levels exceed the permissible limit. The results could be partly due to the location of monitoring that was chosen near carriageway rather than near building lane. Impact is generally required to be assessed on population surrounding continuously receiving high sound levels. Operations Research Group in association with Spafial Decisions 2-2 INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND CONSOLIDATION OF EIA, EMP AND RAP REPORTS FOR AYODHYA TO MUZAFFARPUR SECTION OF EAST WEST CORRIDOR FINAL SPECIFIC EMP Still, junction improvement would help in alleviating the ambient noise level by easing out traffic situation. It is assessed that noise levels shall be increased both during construction and operation phases of the project. Noise modelling was conducted to assess impact of highway operation phase on sensitive receptor locations using FHWA (Federal Highway Administration, US Department of Transportation) developed noise model. Conservative estimates have been computed through the model for three different years of operation- 2005, 2020, 2030 with adjusted operative speeds and increased traffic volume. The results (listed in EIA document-chapter on Assessment of Impacts) indicate that both daytime and night time noise levels shall exceed the permissible limits at all locations. Noise levels will be higher in later years owing to increased traffic. In effect specific noise barriers shall be required to be provided at the sensitive locations falling within the right of way to mitigate adverse impacts of noise during highway operations. Specific locations and choice of barrier types need to be decided based on degree of impact that will in turn depend on distance of the existing sensitive receptor falling within the right of way from the proposed road. 2.3 Biological Environment The project corridor does not pass through any reserved or protected forests and no endangered flora species have been reported along the highway. The impact of removal of trees however should be a concern as a total of 18283 trees stand within the RoW and more than 50% are proposed to be cut for the road widening (Annexure XIII). The trees consist of species such as Eucalyptus, Sheesham, Neem, Ashok, Peepal, Mango, Arjun, Cassia, Bargad, Gulmohar, Mahua. The assessed environmental impacts include upsetting of microclimate with increase in ambient temperature as well as soil erosion problems and increase in suspended particulate matter in ambient air. As regards the fauna of the region, the historical human influence and the continuous human habitation along the NH-28 has meant that there is very little faunal presence except for domestic animals along the highway and there are no reports of any endangered species present or identified in the project- affected area. However, if any rare/endangered species is found during course of construction, construction may then cause impact on the same. 2.4 Social Environment 2.4.1 Human Use Value The proposed project shall have an environmental and social impact on some sensitive receptors including schools, colleges and medical centers (Annexure XIV) falling within the direct impact zone. It is envisaged that the agricultural land along the highway will get converted to industrial/commercial use to realise the value of the improved connectivity of the area. Such an induced development will require Operations Research Group in association with Spatial Decisions 2-3 INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND CONSOLIDATION OF EIA, EMP AND RAP REPORTS FOR AYODHYA TO MUZAFFARPUR SECTION OF EAST WEST CORRIDOR FINAL SPECIFIC EMP a check to ensure success of the proposed 4-lane road. Increased vehicular speed means that the fringe areas along the road are at increased risk from speeding vehicles. 2.4.2 Cultural properties As per the United Nations definition, "cultural property" includes sites having archaeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious and unique natural values such as waterfalls, canyons etc. Structures of cultural value have been identified falling within the direct impact zone (RAP Document). The proposed project implementation is likely to adversely impact some of these cultural properties either directly or indirectly. The impacts and treatment have widely been dealt with under SIA document. There is no identified structure in the project stretch falling under the purview of the Archaeological Survey of India or State Archaeological Department. 2.4.3 Quality Of Life Values The project is expected to bring in substantial improvement in connectivity along the corridor. Presently, the traffic conditions are characterised by mixed traffic with bullock carts and high-speed truck jostling for space on the highway. These combinations create hazardous conditions for all the road users. With segregation of local and through traffic, by the provision of service lanes, underpasses, highway junction improvement etc. the project will have a beneficial effect on road safety. However, real safety concerns remain with reference to the children using the highway to get to the numerous schools and other educational institutions that have direct access opening on to the NH-28.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BUDGET The environmental budget for various environmental management measures proposed in the EMP is detailed in Table 5.1. There are several other environmental issues that have been addressed as part of good engineering practices, the costs for which have been accounted for in the Engineering Costs. Environmental management budget is split into four categories- Mitigation Measures, Enhancement Measures, Environmental Monitoring and Institutional Capacity Strengthening. The estimated cost under each category for the project stretch is as follows: 1. Mitigation cost = Rs 3,45,73,100 2. Enhancement cost= Rs 10,50,000 3. Environmental Monitoring cost = Rs 5,85,500 4. Institutional Capacity Strengthening Cost = Rs 4,94,750 (Cost of independent compliance monitoring and cost of equipments and facilities at PIU is shared with other packages, and is not included in this package) The total Environmental Mitigation, Enhancement, Monitoring and Institutional Capacity Strengthening costs are estimated to be around Rs. 36.70 million.
