JMDP entails planning and implementation of multiple sub-projects across districts in Jharkhand. The Government of Jharkhand has identified the Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Ltd. (JUIDCO Ltd.) as the primary implementing agency for executing the JMDP. The Government of Jharkhand is seeking financial support from the World Bank towards the cost of the JMDP. An Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared by JUIDCO for the JMDP with the following objectives: to assess and manage the potential environmental and social risks and impacts that may come up during implementation and throughout the project cycle; to ensure the social and environmental sustainability of investments; and to ensure compliance with national environmental and social legislation and World Bank safeguard policies. As required by the ESMF, screening, and categorisation, an Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) and management plan has been conducted for the Khunti Water Supply sub-project by consultants independent of DPR consultants, following the requirements of Bank OP 4.01 Category A project. WBG EHS Guidelines, and Industry Sector Guidelines for Water and Sanitation have been used to identify impacts and recommend suitable mitigation measures. About the Khunti Water Supply Sub-Project The Khunti Water Supply Scheme in Khunti Nagar Panchyat is one of the sub-projects for implementation under JMDP and this document is the ESIA and ESMP of this sub-project. The current Water Supply Scheme supplies 0.9 MLD of water and covers partially 30 percent of the urban area. It was first constructed in the year 1982 with a 3m weir, distribution network, an intake well, and one ESR. A pumping facility from the intake well and WTP were upgraded later in the year 2006 after which regular piped water supply system was commissioned. The proposed sub- project will augment the existing system by expanding to 13.54 MLD of water till the ultimate design year i.e. 2048. 2|Page The existing intake well, on Tajna River will serve as source of water for the project. For this purpose, the Water Resources Department, Government of Jharkhand has issued a no objection certificate for drawing of the increased amount of water from the intake, based on a water balance calculation conducted as part of the DPR, and the departments own investigations. The current raw water main pipeline connecting the intake and proposed new WTP will be replaced with a new 500mm dia and 1650m length. The existing WTP will be decommissioned and a new 16 MLD capacity WTP will be developed, and connected with 4 ESRs (3 New & 1 refurbished) and about 8.7 kms of rising mains; and 122 km new distribution lines will be laid under this project to supply 100 percent household (8350) connections with automated meters. The entire project is divided into 4 zones, distribution consists of new DI pipes replacing old PVC, HDPE and CI pipes. Operations and Maintenance will be supported for 5 years’ post implementation of the project Applicable Environmental and Social Policies The key environment and social laws and legislation applicable for Khunti water supply project, are Water (Prevention And Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; The Water (Prevention And Control of Pollution) Act, 2012; Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006; Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016, The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 Country Labour laws1 and Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Steet Vending) Act, 2014. In addition, a set of operational policies laid down by the World Bank will also be applicable to the project, which are OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment; OP 4.36 Forests; OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement; OP 4.10 Indigenous People; and World Bank Policy on Access to Information and Disclosure. The project shall also follow WBG EHS Guidelines, and WBG Industry Sector Guidelines on Water and Sanitation. Public and Stakeholder Consultations As a part of environmental and social impact assessment, two rounds of public/stakeholder consultations were organized in Khunti to seek inputs into the project design and 1 Contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970; Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013; Employees P.F and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952; Child labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986; Inter-State Migrant Workmen’s (Regulation of employment and Conditions of service) Act, 1979; The Building and Other Construction Works (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996; Minimum Wages Act 1948; Equal Remuneration Act 1976; Weekly Holidays Act 1942; Employer’s Liability Act 1938; Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act 1976 etc. 3|Page development of the ESIA in January 2017, and on an advanced draft of the ESIA in October 2017. Furthermore, information pertaining to the sub-project including work schedule, procedures involved, finalization of project components with identification of impacts, entitled persons, mitigation measures and grievance redressal mechanisms was discussed and disseminated. Stakeholders such as the public, the ULB, the Land Revenue Department, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department etc. were also involved in the consultations. The suggestions arising from the consultations were incorporated, as appropriate, in the designs and mitigation plans. The summary of public consultation inputs, undertaken as part of ESIA is detailed below: i. One private land parcel will be acquired for the proposed project and owner has already given the consent for the acquisition but there is no permanent impact to structures. ii. Impacts are limited to non-title holders. The structure of only 2 non-title holder will be affected due to the project. There will be temporary loss of income of 35 PAPs for approximate 20 days during the actual construction process. There is only one Schedule Tribe household to be affected. iii. Assistance will be provided for the temporary impacts. The relevant provisions of the Entitlement Matrix were made known to the public and a Hindi version of the same would be distributed before mobilization of the contractor. Locals were also informed of skill development training. iv. People have raised the issue of noise and air pollution that would be generated during the construction phase and have requested for implementation of suitable mitigation measures. v. Water pipelines should be separated from the roadside drainage to avoid any possible contamination. vi. Free water points for public use need to be considered. vii. As informed by people, the contractor should keep a provision for employment of local persons (mainly women), in the project. Screening, Categorisation and Assessment of Impacts Screening of the subproject was carried out in line with the checklist attached in Annexure I. Khunti Urban Water Supply Project is categorized under environment as E-1. As per the ESMF guidance, all project involving sensitive environmental areas, including forests would qualify for E1 categorisation. The proposed sub- project will involve replacement of 233 m of pipeline within protected forest area. 4|Page The key positive impacts due to the sub-project are (a) improved water quality and quantity; (b) increase in employment opportunities for locals; (c) reduction in groundwater abstraction (d) improved living standards and hygiene within the project area; and (e) improved institutional capacity of the ULB to manage the sustainability of the water supply infrastructure. This ESIA identifies the environmental and social impacts that may occur because of the implementation of the sub-project in all its phases; design, construction and operation. The sub -project will be implemented on similar alignments as the old water supply scheme and all infrastructure components proposed under the subproject are located within the town and its surroundings. The expected environmental impacts during construction phase include (a) waste and construction debris generation from decommissioning of the old water supply scheme [old WTP, and ESR, and disposal of old distribution lines] (b) excavation activities causing impacts on soil erosion, vegetation and increased risks of accident and injury (c) increase in dust, air, noise pollution and with the town and disruptions in traffic/ pedestrian movement flow (especially where pipelines cross major roads). Impacts will be site specific, and in most cases mitigatory measures are standard. The ULB has designated a landfill site which has the requisite capacity to accommodate for debris and waste, in addition a site for setting up the contractors labour camp has been designated over 1 acre near the existing WTP where 50-60 migrant workers will be accommodated. The project will not affect any physical cultural resources adversely, and there are no historic and archaeological significant sites in the town of Khunti. One private land parcel will be acquired for the proposed project. Land for three ESRs and intake well is already in possession. Around 1650 m of pipeline will be upgraded and 130.758 km will be newly laid, The newly laid pipe will be within the RoW and there is no change in the character of land. The project involves loss of two structures of two non- titleholders within the road Right of Way (RoW). Also at the time of laying of pipes is likely to cause loss of income for 35 street vendors temporarily. As per ESMF categorisation criteria, Khunti Water Supply Project is categorised as S-2. A separate ARAP is prepared to meet the requirement of country legislations and World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. The existing Raw Water pipeline of 300mm, would need to be replaced by 500mm pipeline. The current alignment of 233 m of raw water pipeline is located on forest land (for which 0.02 Ha area would be utilized) also a Scheduled V area. A clearance for this has been granted by the Divisional Forest Officer, Khunti, under section 3 (2) of The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. As this is a 5|Page government legally designated protected forest, the ESMP will follow all recommendations given in the clearance, no trees will be cut and consent of the forest dwelling community in the Gram Sabha has been taken as per the procedure of clearance under the applicable Act. An Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan (STPP) has also been prepared to ensure community participation throughout the sub project cycle to fulfil the r equirement of World Bank’s policy 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples and OP 4.36 on Forests. The ESMP also specifies all precautionary measures not to damage / disturb the sensitive areas, and to avoid any impacts. Operation phase impacts are minor, the ESIA has put in place effective mechanisms and mitigation for occupational health and safety risks for the WTP operators and adequate treatment and disposal of sludge from the WTP during operation phase. Since back water is recovered and re-circulated in the WTP, no wastewater will be generated from water treatment process. A sewerage scheme is being planned for Khunti Nagar Panchayat (KNP) area, and will be fully operational in the next 4-5 years. Environment and Social Management Plan An Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which elaborate on the identified mitigation measures, and the means of their implementation, the monitoring plan and the costs involved have been prepared along with ESIA. The ESMP has a budgetary requirement of INR. 29.22 lakhs for the construction phase, and INR 25.4 lakhs for O&M phase comprising of 5 years. The cost for the ESH training, mitigation, waste disposal and labour camp have been included in the Project cost. The costs for environmental quality monitoring, personal protective equipment for labour have been provided. The Management Plan also covers operation and maintenance phase has also been prepared with special emphasis on water quality monitoring and sludge management. Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) proposes a budget of INR 7.74 lakhs. However, no separate budget has been provisioned under Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan (STPP) as the implementation arrangements for ensuring participation of the forest dwellers remains the same as ESMP and ARAP. This has been included in the overall sub- project costs. 6|Page Grievance Redressal mechanism A GRC will be set up at the state and ULB level. The objective is to receive and resolve the affected communities concerns, queries, complaints and grievances about the environmental and social aspects of the Project that could be encountered during implementation as well as to address other social issues pertaining to social cohesion and integration once the sub- projects implemented. Some means of communicating information on JUIDCO’s GRM includes the following: ► Distribution of leaflets to the public places ► Notice boards ► JUIDCO’s website ► Telecommunication Tools The Deputy Project Director (JUIDCO, PMU) will be responsible for ensuring that each sub- project establishes an effective multi-level GRM to handle all grievances related to sub- project activities. The GRM will function at 2 levels: at the community level, where every effort will be made to resolve the issue; and at the sub-project level where,a GRC will be established and as an appeal mechanism at state level. the sub-project level GRC shall be constituted with five persons including a female member. ► One from the ULB/executing agency ► Any one elected representative (local project area; preferably female) ► Representative of a community-based group of women such as Mahila Samakhya/Mahila Mandal ► A person who is publicly known and accepted by the locals (in the project area) to speak on their behalf (to be identified by the elected representatives of the ULB) ► Community development officer from PIU ► Medical officer ► Officer from concerned department such as police, transport and labour ► ULB-level community organiser or Chief Municipal Officer's representative The PAP will have to clarify the area of grievance. The GRC will entertain only grievances related to construction activities affecting the livelihood or loss of property/utility or restriction of access, labour community conflict, construction site management and quality of service during the O&M period. Grievances related to corruption will only be dealt under the anti- corruption laws of the Jharkhand. 7|Page The PAP (or his/her representative) may submit his/her complaint in by either written letter, phone, or email to the GRC or, alternatively, raise his/her voice in a public or individual meeting with project staff. A very simple grievance form in local language will also be available at each project site to be filled in by the complainant. Also complaint boxes shall be placed at ULB office, PIU office and Contractors campsite/office. One person in PIU and Khunti contractor office will be designated as complaint officer responsible for reciving all the grievances (oral or written) and maintaining the log of such complaints and action taken. This complaint officer shall facilitate filling the grievance form in case of illiterate complainants. NGO engaged for ARAP implementation shall act as facilitator in ensuring that all the complaints/suggestions reach the attention of PIU head especially of the PAPs and local community. The effectiveness of the GRM shall be tracked through progress report of Construction Supervision and Quality Consultants (CSQC) and NGO facilitating ARAP implementation. The contact details of the registering complaints/suggestions at state level is given below: Grievance Redressal Cell Jharkhand infrastructure Development Company Limited 3rd Floor,Pragati Sadan, Kutchery Chowk Ranchi-834001, Jharkhand Phone No: 651 2243203 Email: grc.jmdp.juidco@gmail.com The GRC will meet to try and resolve the matter at community level and make a recommendation usually within 7-10 working days from receipt of complaint. If there is no decision after 10 days, the PAP or any other aggrieved person can refer the complaint to the Deputy Project Director (JUIDCO, World Bank PMU). The Deputy Project Director (JUIDCO, World Bank PMU) will chair an Appeals Committee, which will then examine and address the complaint within 20 days. It is recognised that some complaints may take longer to resolve due to their complexity, for example, those related to land disputes. In such cases, the greived party shall be communicated the possibility of delays with reasons and next actions within 20 days, All submitted complaints and grievances will be registered at the sub-project level and added to a database of JUIDCO-JMDP PIU, which will be monitored regularly by designated JUIDCO-JMDP staff.In addition to the mechanism explained above, PAPs have the right to approach the judiciary of the country. 8|Page Gender Issues, Action Plan and Monitor ing Indicators The main gender issues in the project are inequality in accessibility to urban infrastructure and services, safety and security of the women, inequality in participation of women workforce and awareness of women about their rights. The project will ensure easy accessibility to improved urban infrastructure and services through 24x7 domestic water supply for households and better roads. Proper street lighting will increase the safety and security of women. There will also be a provision for the contractor to employ local people, preferably women. The implementing consultant/NGO would increase the awareness among the women regarding their rights and opportunities available from the project. The monitoring indicators are the number of connections of water supply points to the vulnerable population particularly women headed households in the sub-project area, contractor’s progress report shall include number of women employed and their wages and monthly status of the grievance redressal mechanism(GRM). Institutional and Implementation arrangement for ESMP Supervision The State PMU in Ranchi at JUIDCO will be overall responsible for addressing environmental and social safeguard measures. An environmental and social specialist is already in place in the PMU. The PMU will be supported by a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) at Khunti, responsible for day-to-day implementation of ESMP, ARAP and STPP. The PMU specialists will also train and strengthen the capacities of specialists in the PIUs and other implementing entities. The project shall hire qualified civil society organisations/NGOs for the implementation of ARAP and other social mobilisation/IEC activities under the Khunti Water Supply Project. Construction Supervision and Quality Control Consultants are also in the process of being hired, and will contain a dedicated Environment, Social, Health and Safety Officer to verify compliance with ESMP, labour management, occupational health and safety requirements, and waste management procedures. The Project Management Consultants (PMC) shall provide additional support of Social and environment specialists to the PMU and PIU to coordinate, review, support and monitor all respective safeguards aspects of the Khunti Water Supply Project. 9|Page The compliance of the ESMP, labour management and OHS management by the contractor shall be monitored and assessed during construction by the PIU and CSQC consultant, and formal inspections by the PMU staff. There will also be a safeguard audit of the works which shall be carried out by an independent consultant. 10 | P a g e 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD), Government of Jharkhand (GoJ), has created the Jharkhand Municipal Development Project (JMDP) with an objective to improve urban service delivery and urban management capacities in selected Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The Government of Jharkhand (GoJ) has sought financial support from the World Bank (WB) towards the cost of the JMDP. Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Ltd. (JUIDCO Ltd.) has been identified as the primary implementing agency for the JMDP. “JUIDCO” is a company created under the administrative control of Urban Development Department, Government of Jharkhand for formulation, implementation and monitoring of various central/state sponsored urban infrastructure development schemes in the state of Jharkhand. JUIDCO has been undertaking implementation of water supply projects in the urban areas across the State of Jharkhand, besides 2. The JMDP encompasses upgradation of municipal infrastructure (expansion of coverage, and construction and rehabilitation of basic infrastructure systems, such as, water supply, roads, municipal buildings, etc.) and associated operation and maintenance support. The JMDP primarily has three components, as shown in Figure-1 below. Figure 1: Components of JMDP 3. These components entail planning and design of multiple sub-projects, across different districts in Jharkhand. The priority sub-projects have been identified by the Government of Jharkhand based on technical, environmental, social and financial sustainability of the investments. 4. An Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared by JUIDCO for the JMDP with the following objectives: to assess and manage the potential 11 | P a g e environmental and social risks and impacts that may come up during implementation and throughout the project cycle; to ensure the social and environmental sustainability of investments; and to ensure compliance with national environmental and social legislation. As per World Bank policy 4.01, an ESMF is an instrument that examines the issues and associated impacts when a project consists of a program and/or series of sub-projects, and the impacts cannot be determined until the program or sub-project details have been identified. The ESMF sets out the principles, rules, guidelines and procedures to assess the environmental and social impacts. It contains measures and plans to reduce, mitigate and/or offset adverse impacts and enhance positive impacts, besides provisions for estimating and budgeting the costs of such measures, and information on the agency or agencies responsible for addressing project impacts. 5. As required by the ESMF, Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) are being conducted for the selected priority sub-projects. 1.1 Brief Description of Project 6. The Khunti Nagar Panchayat (KNP), an urban area in the state of Jharkhand, is partially receiving water from the existing water supply scheme commissioned in year 1982 and upgraded in 2006. At present, only 14% of the total households of Khunti Nagar Panchayat, spread across 10 wards out of the 16 wards, have water connections. The remaining areas depend entirely on ground water for meeting their daily needs. The proposed sub-project, called the Khunti Urban Water Supply Scheme (Khunti-UWSS), is aimed at 100% coverage of piped potable water supply on 24x7 basis in KNP. The proposed source for the Khunti- UWSS is the Tajna River - a left bank tributary of the Swarnrekha river in Swarnrekha basin in the Khunti district. The following activities are to be taken up under the proposed sub- project: the existing 300 mm of pipeline from intake well will be replaced by 500 mm DI pipe; a new 16 MLD WTP will be developed; three ESRs will be constructed; one existing ESR will also be rehabilitated and used; 100% household connections with automated meters will be provided. 1.2 Objective of the ESIA Study 7.

Preparatory activities included team mobilisation and compilation of existing secondary information pertaining to the project area. Field visits were planned and conducted during February 2017 with the following objectives: ► Assessing existing environmental conditions ► Identifying potential environmental and social impacts ► Identifying potential mitigation measure ► Identifying interested and affected individuals or parties ► Preparation of a strategy for the Process Public Participation (PPP) (b). Analysis of Alternatives 10. The feasible alternatives to the proposed project site, technology, design, and operation were analysed in terms of their potential environmental and social impacts. (c). Collection of Environmental and Social Baseline Data 11. This section details the methodology adopted for establishing the environmental and social baseline. A. Environmental Baseline 12. The baseline environmental status is important to understand the existing physical and biological characteristics along with cultural and social status of residing community. The data presented in this section is based on field surveys, monitoring, stakeholders consultations and secondary data collection ( drainage, topography, climate, flora and fauna). The information on the baseline environmental conditions (Water/Air/Noise quality and Soil monitoring), forms the basis to analyse the probable impacts of the proposed project vis-à-vis the present background environmental quality of the core study area. In case of environmental baseline, sampling of air quality, water quality (surface and ground), soil quality, and noise levels was undertaken in the first week of March, 2017. The sampling locations for monitoring of air, water, soil, and noise quality were identified based on the following: ► Existing topography ► Sensitive environmental areas and receptors ► Location of water bodies ► Wind direction and location of village/towns/sensitive areas ► Accessibility, power availability and security of monitoring equipment 13. The details of the parameters monitored have been presented below: 14 | P a g e ► Ambient Air Quality: Ambient air quality was monitored at four locations for parameters including Particulate Matter (PM<10 micron, PM<2.5 micron), SOx and NOx. ► Water Quality: Information on water quality was generated by collecting and analysing samples from three surface water bodies and five ground water locations. ► Soil Quality: Soil quality was assessed by collecting six soil samples from four locations. Further, the collected soil samples were analysed for the physical and chemical parameters. ► Ambient Noise Quality: Ambient noise quality was monitored for 24 hour at four locations within the study area. ► Land Environment: Information regarding topography, geology, seismicity, ecology and land use pattern was collected through various field visits, secondary research and information available with the project proponent. B. Social Baseline 14. As the first step, data from the secondary documents such as Census, ULB records etc. was reviewed for collecting basic socio-economic information. As the next step, a census survey was conducted with an objective of gathering first-hand information on the following: ► Inventory of affected assets ► Categorization and measurements of potential loss ► Physical measurements of the affected assets/structures ► Identification of trees and crops ► Household characteristics, including social, economic and demographic profile ► Identification of non-titleholders ► Assessment of potential economic impact, including temporary loss 15. The census survey covered 100% structures affected within the proposed Right of Way (ROW) as per the Corridor of Impact (CoI) of the DPR and drawings provided. Structures considered are permanent (pukka), semi-permanent (semi-pukka) and temporary (kutcha). In addition to census survey, a series of public consultations were conducted during January, March and June 2017 after finalisation of the methodology, protocol and communication strategy by JUIDCO. The stakeholder consultations were conducted through focus group discussions, individual interviews and formal as well as informal meetings. The vulnerable sections of Project Affected Persons (PAPs) were also included in the 15 | P a g e consultation process in the ward level meetings. The public consultation helped in ensuring people participation in the planning and implementation phase and further facilitated in disclosure of the project details to the would be PAPs and beneficiaries. In conformance to the World Bank principles of consultation and disclosure, the project activity was disclosed across the selected locations with the following key objectives: ► Understand the community concerns and issues ► Disclose environmental issues that may arise due to the project and discuss suggestions for mitigation measures ► Assess the present-day project site’s characteristics and definitive social, livelihood, and environmental impacts ► Consult with affected communities and/or entities on the proposed project alternatives in order to minimize adverse impacts and enhance beneficial ones ► Obtain a consensus on the proposed activity, potential impacts and suggested mitigation measures (d). Impact Assessment and Management Plan 16. Primary and secondary data collected for establishing the baseline, were analysed for identification of potential environmental and social impacts that may occur during different phases of the project. For each of the identified impacts, measures to avoid and/or mitigate these have been recommended in the Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) and Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan (STPP). A relevant monitoring plan has been proposed to ensure effectiveness of the management measures. 17. The sub-steps followed for conducting impact assessment and developing management plan are given below: ► Reviewed literature related to the project ► Conducted field visits to the project area ► Conducted stakeholders consultations with PAPs, ULB and other local community members about the project ► Established environmental and social baseline of the project area ► Identified potential environmental and social impacts, considering the characteristics of the project and the biophysical and socioeconomic characteristics of the area ► Developed recommendations on mitigation measures to be implemented to mitigate the negative environmental and social impacts due to the project activity 16 | P a g e 1.4 Layout of the Report 18.

System for recycling of wastewater: It is estimated that the backwash water will be about 5% of the daily production (i.e. about 0.52 MLD considering a production of at least 10.38 MLD up to the year 2033). The proposed system of recycling this water will be using a series of RCC sedimentation tanks that will allow sufficient time for the sludge and particles to settle down and the remaining clarified water will be reused by directing it to the channel of raw water inlet to flash mixer via a small pump. This arrangement will avoid pollution and minimize wastage of water. 38. The size of the tanks has been designed considering 5% of the disposal of the daily production (i.e. about 0.52 MLD considering a production of at least 10.38 MLD up to the year 2033). Figure below presents the design of the tanks. Figure 5: Design of WTP Tank Source: DPR 28 | P a g e System for disposal of sludge: 39. An estimated 6 MT3 of sludge (0.8 MT – from chlorine preparation and 5.2 MT from WTP) will be produced per day when total water demand will be 10.36 MLD (Intermediate Year). 40. The sludge will be collected from the tanks mechanically and will be allowed to dry in sludge drying bed for 24 hours, then stabilised and then will be disposed to the designated municipal landfill site at Belahatti. The sludge is not suitable to be re-used. The proposed landfill site is a new landfill proposed for Khunti Solid Waste Management project and the ULB has provided its NOC for the use of land for sludge disposal.

The entire project area has been further divided into 4 different zones and different command area of the treatment plant based on the topography, physical boundaries, and reuse of existing ESR 1. The existing clear water transmission main was laid about 6 years back and the supply pattern is not uniform and pipes are found to be inadequate size with many tapings, hence existing transmission main is discarded completely. Local Distribution Scheme 44. The distribution system network is divided into 4 zones for the equitable distribution of water. The command of the existing ESR and its pressure at the tail end points were analysed, accordingly the requirement of additional reservoirs was designed. 4 zones have been formed for the equitable distribution of water. Each zone is proposed to be fed with a service reservoir. The summary of the distribution pipe network is provided in Table 15.

River Tajna/Karkari (Perennial River) is the only surface water supply source for Khunti Nagar Panchayat (KNP) flowing through the north-eastern boundary of the town. The present surface water supply scheme includes a WTP and intake well that were constructed in the year 1982. Water pumping facility from the intake well and WTP were upgraded in late 2006 after which regular piped water supply system was commissioned. 64. With the current scheme, 1001 water connections have been provided, which account for 14% of the total HHs in KNP. At present, 65 lpcd of water is being supplied through intermittent water supply adding up to a total duration of about 1.5 hours per day. The population is forecasted to increase to 74921 by 2048 from the present population of 36390 and the water demand is expected to be around 13.540 MLD. 65. The key issues with the current water supply are: ► Incomplete coverage (reaching only 14% of the households) ► Inadequate supply (at 65 lpcd) ► No metering of the water supply resulting in huge wastage by consumers ► Low water pressure ► Poor water quality (as the WTP is more than 25 years old and in a dilapidated condition) ► Poor Maintaince of current WTP which has resulted in dilapidated condition 51 | P a g e 66. The sub-project will lead to the following benefits: ► 100% coverage of the households in KNP ► Reduction in water wastage due to 100% household connections and metering ► Improved water quality supplied to consumers thereby reducing the burden of water borne disease. ► Reduction in drudgery, and savings in time for women who travel long distances to collect water from a dediated point. ► General hygiene in the served area could improve through use of acceptable water quality and enhanced availability (from 65 lpcd to 155 lpcd). 67. The no-project scenario will lead to the following negative and long term impacts: ► Increased exposure to health risks/ water borne diseases due to consumption of water with little or no treatment. ► Loss of time and energy, especially for women and girl children, due to fetching water from public water points. ► Groundwater depletion due to over extraction through tube wells.

Use of Slow Sand Filter ► There are boulders present along this alignment, which have to be removed through use of explosives that entail safety risks. ► Two structures will be permanently impacted because of the alignment of pipeline from intake well to WTP. ► There is community resistance to this alignment. ► The ESR in zone – 3 is defunct for long period of time and the current structure has been observed to be structurally not safe. ► Use of slow sand filter will require 50 times more area than rapid sand filter 68. As per the table presented above, Option–I has been considered in the proposed sub- project to ensure the following: ► Avoid impacts on river Tajna ► Minimise loss of livelihood ► Avoid water quality and reduced noise and vibration impacts of establishing new intake structures ► Minimise permanent impact on properties ► Avoid resistance of community 69. The Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been conducted based on the sub-project components considered in Option-I. 53 | P a g e 5 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE 5.1 Introduction 70. This section presents the existing environmental baseline status of the study area, covering an area of 500 m radius from the sub-project site. 5.2 Land Environment 5.2.1 Land use 71. The land use pattern for the Khunti Nagar Panchayat is provided in Table 23. Table 23: Land Use Pattern for the Khunti Nagar Panchayat Land use Area (Ha) Percentage Coverage Residential 478.33 4.941% Commercial 6.43 0.066% Industrial & Manufacturing 46.09 0.476% Public & Semi Public 61.76 0.638% Traffic & Transportation 95.88 0.990% Recreational 6.19 0.064% Agriculture 7722.97 79.778% Water Body 201.39 2.080% Vacant land 1061.27 10.963% Protected Forest 6 0.235 0.002% Total 9680.545 Source: Master plan, Khunti 5.2.2 Topography 72. The Tajna (Karkari) river is the major water body flowing through northern part of the town forming its north-eastern boundary (ward number 9). River Karkari is the tributary of River Subarnarekha. The highest elevation point is 633 m along the Ranchi-Chibasa road (NH 75). General slope is towards southern side of the town. The city is highly undulating with a difference of 15-20m. 5.2.3 Geomorphology 73. The northernmost and southernmost parts of the district are covered with hillocks and forests. Altitude of the area varies from 500 m to 700 m above mean sea level in general. There are many hillocks throughout the district having an altitude of 700 m above mean sea level. The district is the part of Chota Nagpur plateau. 5.2.4 Geology 74. The major landforms of the area are granite gneiss. Undulating erosional surface with interrupting dykes, ridges and inselbergs are prominent features. These are developed over granite gneiss. It consists of boulders, cobbles, pebbles, gravels, sandy silt and clays. 6 Pipe will be upgraded in this patch, overall forest area in KNP is 9 Ha. 54 | P a g e 5.2.5 Hydrogeology 75. The Khunti district has varied hydrogeological characteristics due to which the ground water potential differs from one region to another. It is underlain by Chota Nagpur granite gneiss of pre-Cambrian age in three-fourths of its area. 76. Aquifer system: Two types of aquifers are found. Weathered aquifer and fractured aquifers. Thickness of weathered aquifers varies from 10-25 m in granite terrain and 30-60 m in lateritic terrain. In weathered aquifer ground water occurs in unconfined condition, while in fractured aquifer ground water occurs in semi confined to confined condition. ► Shallow Aquifer: The shallow aquifers are being tapped through dug wells, dug cum bore wells and hand pumps. The thickness of weathered mantle varies from 5 to 20 mbgl. In lateritic terrain, many dug wells dry up during summer months. Hand pumps generally tap first fracture zones, with a depth of 30-40 mbgl. ► Deeper Aquifer: In granite gneiss terrain area first fracture occurs between 50-70 m and second fracture is found between 100-120 m depth. The hydrogeological map of Khunti district is available, showing the project area which has been presented in Figure 7. 55 | P a g e Figure 7: Hydrogeological Map of Khunti District Source’s Project Area Source: CGWB 56 | P a g e 5.2.6 Ground Water Status 77. The overall stage of ground water development in Khunti district is 28.26 percent indicating sufficient scope of development. All the blocks in Khunti are classified as falling in the ‘safe zone’. However, the long-term water level trend (2003-2012) was observed to be declining by about 0.41 m/year in Khunti block. In terms of the water quality, the water in the phreatic aquifers is alkaline in nature. 5.2.7 Surface Water Status 78. The major rivers draining the Khunti district are Tajna , Banai, Chata and Karo The Tajna river is a left bank tributary of Swarnrekha river in Swarnrekha basin and is the major water body flowing throughout the northern part of KNP forming its north eastern boundary.The drainage map of Khunti district showing the project area has been presented in Figure 8. 57 | P a g e Figure 8: Drainage Map of Khunti District Project Area Source: CGWB 5.2.8 Soil 79.

A total of ambient air quality four (4) monitoring locations representing residential, industrial, high traffic zone and commercial setup were selected to determine air quality levels within the study area. The locations of the monitoring stations were based on preliminary analysis of the meteorological conditions. Logistical considerations such as accessibility, security, and availability of reliable power supply etc. were also considered while finalizing the locations of AAQM stations. Details of the AAQM stations are summarized in Table 29. Table 29: Description of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations Station Sl.No. Code Coordinates Location Description Remarks Represents air quality 23 06 25.18N, Proposed labour camp near Proposed 1 AAQ1 85 16 46.59E site near proposed WTP Construction Camp 23 04 33.71N, Represents air quality 2 AAQ2 85 16 43.93E Subhash chowk near proposed pipeline Represents air quality 23 03 27.51N, Proposed ESR camp near proposed ESR 3 AAQ3 85 17 17.22E area, Kadma camp area 23 06 20.99N, Represents air quality 4 AAQ4 85 16 42.61E Existing WTP area near existing WTP 93. The ambient air quality monitoring (AAQM) was conducted from 26th February 2017 to 28th February 2017 for each of the locations on a 24-hour schedule. The equipment was kept 68 | P a g e in open space, away from vegetation and the height of samplers monitoring was kept in range of 3 – 5 m. Monitoring was done as per the Guidelines for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring, National Ambient Air Quality Series NAAQMS/25/2003-04 for the following parameters: ► Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM/ PM10) ► Fine particulate Matter (FPM/ PM2.5) ► Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) ► Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) 94. For the collection of samples for PM10, SO2 and NO2, Respirable Dust Samplers (RDS – APM 460 BL, Envirotech) along with gaseous sampling impingers were used. For the collection of PM2.5, Fine Particulate Sampler (Model APM 151, Envirotech) was used. Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) was collected by drawing air through absorbing solution of sodium tetrachloromercurate (EPA modified West & Gaeke Method) and NO 2 was collected by drawing air through the mixture of absorbing solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium arsenite (Na-Arsenite modified Jacobs & Hochheiser Method). The measurement for both SO2 and NO2 was done colorimetrically. 95. Results of AAQM are presented in Table 30.

The value of PM10 was observed to be higher than the norms of CPCB (100 μg/m3) at existing WTP area (180.61 μg/m3) due to the presence of a crusher unit, stone mining/quarrying and industry about 500 meters from the existing WTP. II. High value of PM10 was observed at ESR camp area at Kadma. This is due to congestion at Khunti bus stand and presence of brick industries nearby. 69 | P a g e III. Subhash Chowk is the centre of the city with high population and dense traffic, which is one of the contributing factors for the high air pollution level. 96. The findings indicate the importance of dust control and emission control measures during the construction activity. 70 | P a g e Figure 15: Air & Noise Monitoring Locations 71 | P a g e 5.5 Noise Environment 97.

Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) was normal at all the sampling locations except GW-1. This may be because of longer contact time with the underlying rocks and sediments. The TDS observed at different sampling locations have been presented in Figure 17. 80 | P a g e Figure 17: TDS of sampling locations 102. Total Alkalinity ranged between 34 mg/l (DW-1) to 126 mg/l (at GW-4). Total alkalinity at GW-1 was observed to be above the acceptable limit, but, it was within the permissible limit at GW-1 (528 mg/l). Figure 18: Alkanity of sampling locations 103. Total hardness at GW-1 was observed to be above the permissible limit which may be attributed to presence of calcium and magnesium, but were observed to be within acceptable limit at all other monitoring locations. 104. Iron has been observed to be more in GW-1 & GW-5 than the permissible limit. 5.6.2 Surface water Quality 105. Parameters for analysis of surface water quality was selected based on the utility of the particular source of water as per MoEFCC guidelines.

Khunti is famous as the lac producer of the Jharkhand region. A large share of India's total lac is produced in this place. Lac is a natural polymer (resin) that is produced by a tiny insect called Kerria lacca (Kerr). This insect is specially grown on the shoots of several species of trees such as palas, kusum and ber. This agricultural profession of lac cultivation is a secondary source of income for many tribal in the Khunti region. And it is with the Government assistance and many other voluntary and NGO's that this cultivation has taken a new form and a new lease of life. Agriculture 126. The main crop grown in the district are paddy, maize black gram and Mustard. The district has also been identified as Agri-export Zone by Government of India, keeping in view the production of large quantities of green vegetables in the district. The climate of the district remains cool throughout the year with an average rainfall of 1050 mm to 1500 mm which is conducive for production of vegetables. However, there is urgent need for increasing the irrigation coverage in the district so that mono cropping at present may be transformed to multi cropping system in future. Peas, cauliflower, brinjal, tomato and french 92 | P a g e beans are supplied to other towns in Jharkhand and neighbouring States of Orissa, Chattisgarh and West Bengal. Basic infrastructure service 127. As per Census, 2011, there are 2 government allopathic hospitals run in the area with a strength of 30 beds and has very basic amenities and people are usually referred to nearby cities like Ranchi or Patna for better care. Other than that, there are 7 dispensaries, 1 T.B. Hospital and 1 Alternative hospital medicine centers in the town. 128. Although several public and private health facilities are available in the state, overall infrastructure for dispensing health related services require improvements.

There are 12 primary schools, 10 middle schools, 6 secondary schools, 6 senior secondary schools and 1 Arts, Science and Commerce College in Khunti Nagar Parishad (Source: census of India, 2011). Sanitation and Civic amenities 130. Throughout the PIA sanitation facility is poor to say the least. People however, have made own arrangement of individual toilet which is not hygienic. People of the clusters defecate in the open. In urban/ semi urban centres sanitation system is old and many households still use kuchcha or unsanitary latrines. Water Supply 131. Tube wells are the main source of drinking water in Khunti. The piped water supply system of Khunti is facing several problems at present. A low level of service in terms of low per capita water supply rate, short hours of supply, insufficient terminal pressure in the outlying areas, and non-uniform spatial supply rate are few examples of these problems. Most of the colonies do not receive municipal piped water supply. 132. Distribution network do not cover the entire town. Thus about 85 % area is not covered under the existing scheme. Ground water is the only alternative left. The quality of this water is also a cause of concern. Thus, quantity as well as quality of drinking water is the major issue obstructing the development and growth of the town. To supply adequate and safe drinking water, the proposed project is essential. 6.3 Town Management 133. Khunti town administration is structurally divided into two wings i.e. elective wing headed by chairperson and administrative wing headed by executive officer. In addition to 93 | P a g e nagar panchayat there are other parastatal bodies (e.g. Ward Office) working for sanitation related aspects. 134. The elective body is headed by Chairperson supported by vice-chairperson and 16 councilors, one for each of the16 wards. Chairperson and vise-chairperson in KNP are selected by councilors. The tenure of the elected body of KNP is for five years.. The elective body is responsible for making policy decisions at town level for implementation of various town / citizen services including sanitation, and oversees the implementation process for successful execution of such schemes. As per Jharkhand Municipal Act, 2011, the Standing Committee shall consist of the Chairperson; the Vice- Chairperson, and three elected councilors to be elected by the Council. 135. Khunti Nagar Panchayat19 (KNP)’s administrative body was constituted in the year 2008. It consists of 20 nos. of ward having total area of 25.8 Sq. Km. KNP is responsible to provide basic infrastructure including roads, drainage and sewerage, water supply, street lighting and services covering education, housing, poverty alleviation, slum improvement, urban forestry, environmental protection and conservation, primary health etc. KNP is headed by one executive officer and is responsible for operational planning and management of nagar panchayat.

Aam Sabha Proceedings and NoC from forest Department is annexed. All the actual beneficiaries were contacted and called for the AAM Sabha meeting, their views were taken and all the beneficiaries have given their consent for laying the pipeline. Even though the alotted land parcels are not being currently utilised, they had only one concern that pipe should be laid underground so that in future, they could do the farming. Keeping this in mind, decision has been taken that the entire Raw water main pipeline will be laid underground and the designs have been modified accordingly. Implementation stage consultation will be conducted before the start of construction activities so that concerned people are informed about the start and completion date of the project, benefits and grievance system of the project. Consultation meetings should also be organised by PIU social expert at regular intervals during construction phase to acquaint the concerned Birhu Villagers of the following: a) Timeline and progress of the project b) Information on benefits / adverse impacts; compensation and entitlements c) Construction Schedule 107 | P a g e 7.3 Summary of Public Consultation (Phase II) Observations 141. JUIDCo undertook a second phase of public consultation based on the advanced draft of the ESIA to seek inputs and acceptance of the proposed measures. The consultation was conducted at the District Collector Office, Khunti, the District Commissioner, ULB members, WRD , PAPs , Women Self Help Group were present. The summary of public consultation undertaken as part of ESIA is detailed below: ► One private land parcel wiil be acquired for the khunti water supply project. ► Impacts are limited to non-title holders. The structure of only 2 non-title holders will be affected due to the project. There will be temporary loss of livelihood of 35 PAPs for approximate 20 days during the actual construction process. There is only one Schedule Tribe household to be affected. ► Assistance will be provided for the temporary impacts. The relevant provisions of the Entitlement Matrix (shown in section 12. 5 “Entitlement Matrix”) were made known to the public and a Hindi version of the same would be distributed before mobilization of the contractor. Locals were also informed of skill development training. ► Khunti Nagar Panchayat is in the process of developing a plan to relocate the vendors during construction. ► People have raised the issue of noise and air pollution that would be generated during the construction phase and have requested for implementation of suitable mitigation measures. ► The participants stressed that majority of the labours to be employed during the construction and operation phase should be locals ► The participants suggested that the approved ESIA should be provided at ULB level. ► Water pipelines should be separated from the drainage lines to avoid any possible contamination. ► Free water points need to be considered. ► As informed by people, the contractor should keep a provision for employment of local persons (mainly women), in the project.

The impacts of the project were disclosed to the local people who will be affected. Both positive and negative impacts of the project were disclosed. During public consultation sessions, the local people accepted that they were aware of the project as it was disclosed from time to time through local newspaper. 143. It was made known to the people that a resettlement information leaflet containing information on compensation, entitlement and resettlement management adopted for the project will be made available in the local language (Hindi) before mobilization of the contractor. The detailed information would also be available on the website of JUIDCO and the World Bank after approval of the World Bank. Grievance Redressal Mechanism 144. The Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) at the state level has already been constituted. Consultation for the formation of GRC for this project at district/city level is being undertaken. Before the start of the process of civil contractor appointment, the GRC at project level will be formed in consultation with the PAPs and beneficiaries so that the grievances are resolved at the project site itself. Provision of further Consultations at Implementation Stage 145. The effectiveness of the implementation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is directly related to the degree of continuing involvement of the people affected by the sub-project. Several additional rounds of consultation with the PAPs and local community will be undertaken during the sub-project implementation. A NGO responsible for ARAP implementation is entrusted with the task of conducting these consultations during implementation phase. This could involve agreements on assistance options, entitlement package and income restoration measures, accessibility and padestraian movement for the sub-project and inconvenience to the local community with respect to dust, noise safety, labour etc.. The consultation will continue throughout the sub- 110 | P a g e project implementation stage. The following set of activities will be undertaken for effective implementation of the plan: ► In case of any change in engineering alignment planning, the PAPs and other stakeholders will be consulted in selection of alternative alignment for minimization of resettlement impacts, development of mitigation measures, etc. ► During Implmentation an active feedback loop for citizen complaints on air, noise, dust pollution, and safety issues will be maintained and adequately addressed by the contractor and PIU. ► INcase of any changes to implmentation/ work schedules, closure of roads, interruption in utilities, the PIU and ULB will inform the affected people prior. ► Together with the NGO, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will conduct information dissemination sessions in the project area and will invite feedback from the PAPs in order to strengthen the Environmental and Social Management Plan implementation. ► During the implementation of ARAP, the NGO will organize public meetings and will inform the communities about the progress of the implementation of sub-project works, including awareness regarding health and sanitation issues related to water supply. ► Consultation and focus group discussions will be conducted with vulnerable groups like women, SCs, STs, and people living below poverty line to understand their specific needs that should be incorporated in ESMP/RAP/STPP. ► Women will be specially consulted during implementation stage. 111 | P a g e 8 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 146. This chapter assesses key potential environmental impacts that are expected to occur during the project duration. The significance of the impacts has been assessed based on the methodology defined in Annexure XIII. The expected impacts have been categorized into the following two phases: ► Construction phase ► Operation phase 8.1 Project Area of Influence 147. In the proposed sub-project, direct and/or indirect impacts are generated which are rather short-term. It is expected that most of the impacts are temporary in nature and will cease once the construction is completed. Table 43 shows the influence area of the proposed sub-project components. 112 | P a g e Table 43: Details of influence area of the proposed sub-project components S.

The positive impacts of the project during construction phase are: ► Employment opportunities: With the construction of the proposed Project, there will be employment opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers from Khunti. This will be beneficial both from the economic and social point of view. Economically, it means abundant unskilled labour will be used in production. Several workers including casual labourers, plumbers and engineers are expected to work on the site for a period of time. Semi-skilled, unskilled and formal employees are expected to obtain gainful employment during the period of construction. With labour intensive construction technologies, the project will provide employment for youths and provide support to the GoJ initiatives on creation of jobs. ► Creation of a market for construction: The Project will require materials, some of which will be sourced locally and some internationally. These include plant (pump sets, switch gear, instrumentation) pipes, valves, cement, sand and chemicals. This will provide a ready market for suppliers in and outside the project area Operation Phase ► Improved water quality will in turn reduce exposure to water borne diseases to the consumers. ► General hygiene in the served area could improve through use of acceptable water quality and enhanced availability (from 65 lpcd to 155 lpcd). ► Savings in time and effort: Piped water availability through household connections will save time and effort spent earlier in fetching water, especially for women. ► Household water connections and metering will help to reduce water wastage – currently estimated at 20 percent. ► Use of SCADA will reduce water wastage due to overflows at the ESRs, enhance equity and timeliness in water supply. ► Availability of potable drinking water will contribute to improved living standards within the sub-project area. ► Discontinuation of groundwater use and creating a new water supply system based on nearest surface water sources ► Recovering backwash water from treatment process 116 | P a g e ► Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage. Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using leak detection, and identifying unauthorized connections ► Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems 8.2.2 Negative Impacts 149. The precise environmental impacts and risks, and required mitigation measures under OP/BP 4.01; and OP 4.36 are described in the following sections of this ESIA. In particular, the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will detail mitigation measure and also provides the institutional arrangement for their implementation including monitoring arrangements. 150. The impacts and subsequent mitigations presented here draw on a detailed field study carried out in Khunti. Information has been collected on a wide variety of variables required to anticipate and manage project impacts, including sensitive environmental receptors in the impacted area, expected effects of air and noise, impact of construction (e.g. on traffic and public safety). During operation of water supply system, the overall impact is expected to be positive, however to safeguard public health, it is imperative that regular monitoring of raw and treated water at the treatment plants, and in the distribution network be implemented to ensure that drinking water limits are not exceeded. The main impacts have been presented in Table 44. 117 | P a g e Table 44: Environmental Impact due to construction and operation phase Impacts Impact Explanation of impact Mitigation Measures Significance Pre- Construction Phase Impact on Minor ► The proposed interventions will necessitate ► Consult with the utility departments to demarcate utilities, traffic road cuttings, excavations of trenches, and in the locations and alignments of electrical cables, movement some cases the relocation of existing public water mains and communication cables. utilities resulting in the interruption of the ► Prepare a detailed planning and construction services for a period of time. phasing schedule, and coordinate service ► The construction activities may necessitate interruption with public utilities and public partial traffic interruption, and temporary road administrations.

The chapter deals with the approach and methodology adopted for collection of material and non-material socio-economic and cultural data and its analysis for understanding the various types of impact the project would bring about in the local social, cultural and economic fabric of the society. It also discusses the methods, tools and techniques used for screening and identifying the areas of concern for preparation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). With a view to comply with the applicable national and state laws, acts and guidelines and the World Bank OP 4.12, a conjunctive approach integrating the social, environmental and design aspects as well as intensive stakeholder consultations was adopted. 152. The project thus involves an integrated approach towards planning and design, incorporating close cooperation of the engineering, environment and social sector teams. The social assessment for impact analysis of the project was carried out through a series of complementary processes. Data for SIA was collected through various primary and secondary sources. 153. Primary data was collected through intensive survey to comprehend the broad baseline status and socio-economic profile of the local community and to establish the legal entitlement of the project affected families/people. Secondary data/information was collected from various agencies so as to ascertain/verify the ground realities and bring out the socio- economic characteristics, physical features and cultural set-up of the project area. Other secondary data was obtained from documents collected from JUIDCO, published articles and census publications. 9.2 Findings of Social Impact Assessment 9.2.1 Scope of Land Acquisition 154. According to JUIDCO raw water pipeline will cross from the government as well as one private land parcel so there will be land acquisition under the land acquisition act and for this process has already been initiated. AAM sabha has allready been conducted on 26th May 2018 by the district land acquisition department of the district and land owner has given their consent for the aquisition. 134 | P a g e first notice under section-11 of the land acquisition act has issued 0n 10th of August 2018 by the district administration and process of the land acquisition will be completed before the award of the contract. 155. From the analysis of impacts, it is noted that only 2 private structures will be permanently affected due to the project work. In addition, there will be temporary impact on income for maximum 20 days of 35 vendors during the laying of Pipes.. The details of project impacts are discussed in the following section and the summary project impacts are presented in table below: Table 45: Summary Project Impacts Sl.

Thus, the sub-project is categorized as Category S2. 9.2.2 Influence on Society 157. Upgrading the Water supply and other urban infrastructure of the ULBs will have immense positive impact on the life of the under privileged in the urban areas. The development of the same would increase the well-being of the people in PIA. (a). Positive Impacts 158. The positive impacts on the population would be the followings: ► Improvement in overall water supply and sanitation services for Khunti Nagar Panchayat. ► Reduced incidence of water borne diseases and reduction in child mortality rate. ► Time savings for women. ► Surge in improved health, standard of living; personal hygiene. ► Improved services delivered by commercial establishments (restaurants), hospitals, businesses etc. due to availability of clean drinking water. 135 | P a g e (b). Adverse Impact 159. The adverse impacts to the population would be the followings: ► The structure of only 2 non-title holder with 9 PAPs will be affected due to the project. ► There will be temporary loss of livelihood of 35 vendors for approximate 20 days during the actual construction process. ► There is only one Schedule Tribe household to be affected. 9.3 Social Impact Mitigation Measures 160. One private land parcel will be acquired for the proposed projec. Around 1650 m of pipeline will be upgraded and 130.758 km will be newly laid, The newly laid pipe will be within the RoW and there is no change in the character of land. The project involves loss of two structures of two non titleholders within the road Right of Way (RoW). Also at the time of laying of pipes is likely to cause loss of income for 35 street vendors temporarily. As per ESMF categorisation criteria Khunti Water Supply Project is categorised as S-2 and a separate Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) is prepared. 161. One private land parcel will be acquired for the proposed project because the construction of the raw water main would involve working within the forest area in Birhu Thana village under Khunti Nagar Panchayat. In order to ensure that the forest rights holders support the project and and their interests are protected throughout the project cycle, this Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan (STPP) has been prepared to meet the requirement of World Bank’s Operation Policy on Indigenous People as well as Forest Rights Acts 2006 of India. 162. The Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan and a Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan has been prepared as separate reports and will be disclosed along with this ESIA and ESMP. Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) proposes a budget of INR 7.74 lakhs. However, no separate budget has been provisioned under Scheduled Tribe Participation Plan (STPP) as the implementation arrangements for ensuring participation of the forest dwellers remains the same as ESMP and ARAP. This has been included in the overall sub- project costs. 136 | P a g e 9.4 Gender issues and Action Plan 163. The Gender Development Index (GDI) value for India is very low and the socio- economic profile of the project area shows much lower socio-economic standing for women. The details have been discussed in table below: Table 46: Gender Data of Jharkhand and India Items Jharkhand India Gender Related Development Index (GDI) 0.558 0.590 GDI rank (out of 35) 29 122 Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) 0.435 0.497 GEM rank (out of 35) 26 Not Applicable Source: Jharkhand Factsheet 164. Further, the random interviews conducted for 200 households under the Khunti water supply sub-project indicated the following: a) Women play a major role in domestic water management and are typically responsible for collecting and storing water. The table below shows that in case of 84.36% households, women are responsible for managing household water requirements. Table 47: Present Accessibility in Khunti of Water for the Households For households without water supply Responsibility of managing water Women Men Both requirements 84.36% 12.80% 2.84% Within house <0.5km >0.5km to <1km Source of water 20.85% 38.86% 40.28% >15 to <=25 <=15 Mins >25 mins Time spent on fetching water mins 44.55% 18.01% 37.44% Source: Survey from Jan to June, 2017 b) Women participation in decision-making regarding financial matters, education of child, healthcare of child, purchase of assets, day to day household activities, social function and marriages and land property was observed to be significantly low. The table below provides details of women involvement in various activities. Table 48:Women Participation in Khunti on Decision Making Decision making and participation at household level Financial Education Healthcare of Purchase of Day-to-day Social Land matter of child child assets household function and property activities marriages Men 85.3% 9.8% 9.8% 60.8% 11.3% 60.8% 71.1% Women 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% Both 10.3% 85.8% 85.8% 34.8% 84.3% 34.8% 24.5% Source: Survey from Jan to June, 2017 c) The benefits of the project as envisaged by the women population are: i. Increased accessibility and better quality of the water ii. Reduced time spent on accessing the water. iii. Decreased cost of living leading to a better quality of life 137 | P a g e iv. Increased security of the women with infrastructural development of the urban areas, mainly house connections. v. Improvement in water quality leading to improvement in health and hygiene. 165. The project can improve the situation and create opportunities for them to equally access the project benefits by ensuring the following: i. Good quality of water supply will decrease the incidences of water borne diseases and will increase hygiene and sanitation. ii. Time saved by the women folk can be utilised for other productive activities that can help in generation of additional income. d) Women are largely involved in domestic work and have very low economic participation rate (i.e., productive or gainful employment). In the project, women are affected in a variety of ways. For example, they face hardship and stress due to scarcity of urban infrastructure and services such as water supply, drains and drainage, etc. e) In order to assess women’s issues in connection with urban infrastructural project women were interviewed separately.

The Vishakha Guidelines are a set of procedural guidelines for use in India in cases of sexual harassment. They are promulgated by the Indian Supreme Court in 1997 and was superseded in 2013 by ‘The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013’. The Jharkhand High Court in the Writ Petion (PIL) 5497 of 2011 had ordered the State of Jharkhand to strictly enforce the directions of the Honourable Supreme Court and also advised to enact legislation in tune Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Eve Teasing Act, 1998 and Delhi Prohibition of Eve Teasing Act, 1998. 167. As per the information of Jharkhand State Commission for Women (JSCW), around 10 Government organisations have confirmed the functioning of Anti sexual harassment cells till the December of 2016. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013 under Vishaka Guidelines mentions an employer to set up an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) at each office or branch with more than 10 employees of any gender. Inability to form such a cell can charge a sum of Rs 50,000 from the employer. JSCW had written letter to the chief secretary for prompt formation and functioning of such cells in all private as well as government departments for the sake of women employees. Involvement of an NGO member and a woman employee is mandatory in the cell also referred as ICC. But the formation of such cells in all the government and private offices is in process. 9.5 Labour Influx Management and Child Labour 168. The construction of civil works for which the required labor force and associated goods and services cannot be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons such as worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. In such cases, the labor force (total or partial) would need to be brought in from outside the project area from nearby municipal towns and villages and sometimes outside the state. This rapid migration of labor to the project area may affect the project area negatively in the terms of additional burden on public infrastructure such as local social and health services, utilities such as water and electricity, housing and social dynamics and thus impact on local communities. Other related issues could be increased risk of spread of communicable diseases, and increased rates of illicit behavior and crime. Some of the adverse environmental impacts are illegal waste disposal sites, inappropriate Wasterwater discharges, camp related noise, access roads and land use issues. Such adverse impacts may get amplified by local-level low capacity to manage and 140 | P a g e absorb the incoming labor force, and specifically when civil works are carried out in, or near, vulnerable communities and in other high-risk situations. 169. According to estimates, the labour demand (350 workers) for the project will be met through local labour, and a small fraction of 50-60 workers will be migrant. However these numbers are only indicative given the context of labour requriements in Jharkhand. The contactor, once on board would require to set up construction and labour camp for keeping the health and safety of workers and impacts of setting up such camps on the local community in consideration 170. As majority of labour under the project will consist of local population with only 15% labour/technicians coming from outside; therefore,chances of conflict between immigrant labour force and local community are rare. In this regard, directives will be issued to the contractor to manage the migrant labour. In addition to the above, there may be issues relating to child labour and safety and security of women.. A committee will be set up in each sub project district to look after the issues pertaining to child labour and ensure that children below 14 years are not employed in any of the sub-projects. While the sub project ESIAs would require to assess such potential issues linked to temporary project induced labour influx, the specific impacts can only be assessed once the contractor is appointed and decides to outsource labour. 171. Some of the risk factors identified are (i) weak institutional capacity of the implementing agency; (ii) many contractors without strong worker management and health and safety policies; (iv) pre-existing social conflicts or tensions; (v) weak local law enforcement, and (vi) prevalence of gender-based violence and social norms towards it in the community (vii) local prevalence of child and forced labor. (Viii) perception of insecurity by the local community due to illicit behavior or crimes including theft, physical assaults, substance abuse, human trafficking etc and (ix) limited availability of affordable accommodation and rents within Municipal area. 172. There are multiple and comprehensive Acts and Rules at both state and national level (Chapter 3) that set out the provisions for appropriate working conditions and for good labour management. However, multiplicity of laws and rules sometimes cause confusion in its applicability in a specific context. Further in case of contracted workers and Primary labor suppliers the enforcement weakens. 173. Hence, the contractor would require to develop sub project specific labour management procedures and mitigation measures in the C-ESMP before the start of works and monitor and update the labour management Plan as necessary during the course of the project. JUIDCO would develop a separate training module with the help of technical partner 141 | P a g e to build the capacity of JUIDCO, Supervision Consultants and Contractors in preparation and execution of this labour management Plan. 174. This Labor Management Plan would address specific activities that will be undertaken to minimize the impact on the local community, including elements such as x Communication and awareness plan on national labour and women harassment laws and its penal implications, leave provisions and other allowances for workers benefit, x Worker codes of conduct with respect to manual scavenging, engagement with local residents, child labor, nondiscrimination, harassment of coworkers including women and those belonging to SC and STs and other minority social groups. x Training programs on HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases, etc. x Workers’ Camp Management Plan addressing specific aspects of the establishment and operation of workers’ camps provided the ULB is unable to cater to the demand for affordable housing for this additional workforce in terms of rentals, hostels, apartments etc. x Compliant handling Mechanism at the sub project level 175. The responsibilities for managing these adverse impacts is being clearly reflected as a contractual obligations of the Civil Works Contractor and Supervision Consultant, with appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance. 142 | P a g e 143 | P a g e 10 ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 176. This section describes the management plan to be implemented to avoid or mitigate the anticipated negative environmental impacts and enhance the positive impacts of the sub- project activities. 10.1 Objectives of the ESMP 177. The objectives of the Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) are to: ► Provide a comprehensive listing of the various mitigation and monitoring measures that are to be implemented to avoid or reduce negative impacts and enhance postive impacts. ► Ensure compliance with the applicable National, and State Environment and Social laws and regulations as well as the World Bank’s safeguard policies. ► Institutional arrangements that are and will be put in place by JMDP for the environmental and social compliance. ► Detail the plan for periodic monitoring of the effectiveness of the mitigation measures and residual impacts. ► Outline the capacity building plan for enhancing the capacities of the key stakeholders on environmental and social management. ► Detail the budget requirements for implementation of the ESMP. 10.2 Institutional Arrangement for ESMP Implementation 178. The key institutional arrangements and capacity for the implementation of the ESMP, their roles and responsibilities are outlined in this section.

In case of any future changes in the sub-project design the ESMP will need to be updated to reflect the new scope of the activities. The environmental specialist in CSQC firm, and JUIDCO- PIU will identify any safeguard issues relating to the new design elements, and mitigation measures for the same. In case of substantial revisions, this will be finalised in consultation with the PMU. 10.5 Environmental and Social Management Plan 187. The ESMP presents a listing of the mitigation measures to be taken for each potential impact along with details on the responsible person, means of verification, timing and frequency of monitoring, supervision responsibility and reporting requirements. Before the start of construction work, the Project Engineer, contractor’s team will carry out joint field verification of the EMP. The efficacy of the mitigation measures suggested in the EMP will be checked and if required, the Engineer will modify the EMP and BoQs associated with the mitigation measures. Additionally, JUIDCO shall organize orientation sessions for all contractor staff of and field level implementation staff of Contractor and all consultants on environment and social management The EMP is presented in Table 50. 148 | P a g e Table 50: Environmental and Social Management Plan for Khunti Water Supply Scheme S.

The Project will establish a Community Disclosure and Grievance Redressal (CDGR) system to facilitate stakeholder engagement to be implemented during the execution of project. It is suggested that the system will be implemented by JUIDCO-PMU & PIU from support from appointed CSQC and RAP implementation support agency. The grievance mechanism should capture community grievance as well as worker’s grievance. The CDGR must have various stakeholders and must meet regularly with PAPs to resolve the grievances. 195. The system will comprise of the following: ► An accessible and simple grievance redressal procedure: The grievance redressal procedure will outline the process and steps to be taken by the contractor, CSQC and PIU, the key people responsible, and the upper limit to the time taken to resolve a conflict to the satisfaction of the complainant. In case there are grievances that have reached a stalemate, a third party mediation may be considered. The entire GR process will be disclosed to the community at individual project sites, and it should be JUIDCO’s and its CSQC ’s endeavour to get all complaints recorded in the grievances log, and be addressed in a consistent manner. ► Apart from this a Grievance redressal committee shall be constituted at the ULB level with representatives from PIU, other deparments and prominent citizens. Grievances could also be recorded by the aggrieved party with Deputy Project Director JUIDCO. ► A public consultation plan: This plan will detail out the range of awareness and communication initiatives that will be implemented by JUIDCO in order to transparently and proactively address stakeholder concerns during the implementation of project activity. 180 | P a g e 196. The Environmental and Social specialists of PIU will coordinate with the various government agencies, and ULBs to meet the EMP’s commitments to stakeholder engagement as follows: ► Interface between JUIDCO, ULB, contractors, sub-contractors, relevant line departments (forest, utilities, traffic police) and the local community. ► Disclosure of sub-project specific information including the ESIA and ESMP on ULB website and district library. ► Establish a mechanism to obtain, report and monitor all grievances from the local community. ► Regular engagement with all relevant local stakeholder groups identified in this report. 10.8 ESMP Budget 197. The indicative split up of capital and recurring cost for the environmental management for the project is presented in Table 54.

Meeting started with welcome note by Executive officer of Khunti Nagar Panchayat Smt. Meghna Ruby Kachhap. She explained the objective of the meeting and also presented the overview of the urban Water supply scheme proposed under Jharkhand Municipal Development Project funded by the World Bank. After the welcome Speech of Smt. Megna Ruby Kacchap, Ramashis Rajak, Social Specialist of JUIDCO Ltd discussed the importance of the project and how urban Water Supply scheme will change the day to day life of the women because urban water supply scheme directly affect the women and children because most of the time women has to travel long distance to bring the water for her family due to this women do not get ample time to take care her children and other family members. When Social Specialist asked the SHG group members that they know about the urban Water Supply scheme of Khunti or not 60% SHG Members said that they do not know about the Water supply scheme for Khunti which is funded by the World Bank, But SHG members said that they will extend all kind of support required by the Urban Local body to make scheme successful. SHG members said that if services will be provided in efficient and responsible manner then they do not have any problem to pay the charges. All the SHG members accepted that due to scarcity of potable water most them have to walk long distance and bring water for the family and due to unavailability of the clean potable water and collecting and drinking water from various sources, children suffer from various complications and diseases. After explaining the benefit of the project to women from various SHG, Women were asked to put their views on the existing water supply and for proposed water supply scheme. When asked by the specialist of JUIDCO that how this scheme will help them because there is existing water supply in the Khunti then lots of the women shown dissatisfaction on existing Water supply scheme and said that pani samay par nahi aata hai (Water does not Supplied on time) Malti Choudhary kabhi-kabhi to mahino pani nahi aata hai (sometime water donot come during the whole month). 201 | P a g e First of all Sunita Srivastava put her views and said that due to scarcity of water we donot invite our daughter in summer vacation because if they come, due to water scarcity they face any problem then it become the issue for us (pani ke kami hone ke karan humlog apni betiyo ko garmi chhuti me bhi nahi bula pate hai kyunki pani ki kami karan ye ek samsya ban jat hai.) Mina Devi informed in the meeting that existing pipeline is unable to cater demand of the area so sometime, she does not get water one week or two week so I have to walk more than one kilometre to fetch the water for the family. Saroj Bhengra said that new water supply scheme proposed for the 24*7 water supply so it will make the life easier for women like us. Ravika Devi said that current water supply scheme most of the time provide the dirty water which is only used for the cleaning of cloths and washing of the dishes it cannot be used for the drinking purpose. Ranti Devi said that present water supply do not cover the 100% household so everybody not getting water form this supply scheme due to that we have to invest lots of time to bring the water. Anisha Parvin(Ward No.05)from last three month we are not getting water in our ward and we have to bring water from the hand-pump and that is use for cleaning and bathing, for drinking purpose we have to buy water bottle of Twenty litres which cost us Rs.30/bottle. She also said that my niece and other relative says aunty give us food but she does not give us the water (bua khana to deti hai lekin pani nahi deti hai) Jamoda (Ward No.9) There is water connection in her house but she not getting water (pani ka connection to hai lekin pani nahi aata hai) Sarita Devi (Ward No11) she has to walk one kilometre to bring water. Nusrat Anjum (Ward No.5) Water Supply scheme should be built as soon as possible. So that nobody will suffer due to water scarcity. Malti Devi (Ward No 4) Water pipeline has been laid but water don’t come. All the SHG were agreed that water supply scheme should be built as soon as possible so that people of Khunti Nagar Panchayat will 24*7 water supply and because of this life will become easier and they can spent their time in productive work, which can enhance their living standard. 202 | P a g e ANNEXURE IV: NOC ISSUED BY KHUNTI NAGAR PANCHAYAT FOR 1.

The top soil from all sites shall be stripped to a specified depth of 15 cm and stored in stock piles for reuse. A portion of temporarily acquired area and/or RoW edges will be earmarked for storing top soil. The locations for stacking will be pre-identified in consultation and with approval of JUIDCO. The following precautionary measures will be taken by the Contractor to preserve the stock piles till they are re-used: ► Stockpiles will be such that the slope doesn’t exceed 1:2 (vertical to horizontal), and height is restricted to 2 m ► To retain soil and allow percolation of water, the edges of pile will be protected by silt fencing ► Multiple handling kept to a minimum to ensure that no compaction occurs · ► Stockpiles shall be covered with empty gunny bags or will be planted with grasses to prevent the loss during rains ► Such stockpiled topsoil will be utilized for: ƒ Covering reclamation sites or other disturbed areas ƒ Top dressing and raising turfs ƒ Filling up of tree pits ƒ For developing compensatory plantation · ƒ In the agricultural fields of farmers, acquired temporarily that needs to be restored ƒ Residual top soil, if there is any, shall be utilized for the plantations works the utilization as far as possible shall be in the same area from where top soil was removed. The stripping, preservation and reuse shall be carefully inspected, closely supervised and properly recorded by JUIDCO 210 | P a g e Annexure VII: Labour Camp Site Management Plan Introduction The scope of this plan pertains to the siting, development, management and restoration of construction and labour camps to avoid or mitigate impacts on the environment. According to estimates, the labour demand (350 workers) for the project will be met through local labour, and a small fraction of 50-60 workers will be migrant. Howver these numbers are only indicative given the context of labour requriements in Jharkhand.

Therefore, special precautions are required to be observed when working with chlorine gas apparatus and chlorine containers. ► In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co- ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country. ► For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant plates retained in the round of value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. INSTALLATION Chlorination Equipment and Container Room ► Chlorine gas units and cylinders shall be housed in separate rooms, easily accessible, close to the point of application and convenient for truck loading and safe container handling. The floor shall be flat and at least 150 mm above the surrounding ground and drainage shall be adequate. The height of the container room should be at least 4'0 m. Under no circumstances such units shall be housed in basement or below ground level since the chlorine gas is heavy and settles into depressions. ► The exits shall lead directly out in the open and the doors shall open outward. The hinges of the doors should be of parliamentary type. At least two exits shall be provided in each such rooms. ► Adequate arrangements for air circulation and cross ventilation shall be made in the rooms. Air entry shall be from above and air exit shall be from below. Exhaust fans shall be provided at floor level. ► Natural ventilation and means of cross ventilation that allows change in approximate 10 minutes is desirable. For small installation, provision of ventilator openings 'at the bottom, one opposite the other is adequate. 232 | P a g e ► Separate and reasonably gas tight enclosers openings to the outdoor shall be provided for housing the chlorine feeding equipment in large installations (where tonne containers are used). These enclosers shall be vented to the upper atmosphere and equipped with positive means of exhaust ( near the floor level, at the centre of the room or opposite to the entrance) capable of a complete air change within 2 to 4 minutes in an emergency. A satisfactory ventilation scheme involves a combination of fresh air and exhaust system, consisting of fans that force the fresh air into the enclose through openings near the ceiling with exhaust fans to clear away any chlorine contaminated air near the floor level. The design of exhaust system shall not include the natural ventilation that may be available. ► Rooms for chlorine containers in which more than 200 kg chlorine is stored shall be separated from the chlorine gas apparatus room and shall be accessible., only from outside: ► Containers shall rest securely on cradles or on a level rack equipped with adequate safety block to prevent rolling and be slightly elevated from the floor to keep them dry. ► The temperature in the installation room shall be within the range of +4 to + 40°C. The chlorine gas containers and chlorine gas pipes shall not be exposed to direct heat radiations and shall be protected from sun rays. ► Electrical installations inside the chlorine gas rooms shall be limited to the absolute minimum required. While laying electrical wiring and fixtures adequate safety precautions shall be observed during their installation of ensuring safe use of electricity (see IS : 732- 1963* and IS : 5216-1969t ). ► The following information shall be indicated prominantly on the outside entry door: - "Chlorine gas dosing apparatus room" "Smoking and handling naked flame prohibited "Admission restricted". HANDLING ► Ordinarily a plant labourer can handle up to 100-kg cylinder when aided by small hand cart. Heavy containers shall be handled with the aim of mechanical contrivance, such as trucks, monorails, cranes or other such equipment. ► Chlorine gas containers shall not be bumped, dropped or rolled on the ground and no object shall be allowed to strike them with force. ► Use of mechanical lifting devices is recommended. For lifting one tonne container, the capacity of the mechanical device should be about 2 tonne~. STORAGE 233 | P a g e ► All plants, particularly small· ones, should keep on hand at all times sufficient supply of chlorine cylinders or drums. ► Special consideration shall be given to requirements of monsoon seasons. ► Cylinders shall conform to IS: 7681-1975* and the provisions of IS: 8198 (Part 6 )-1979t for filling, inspection, testing, maintenance. And use ·of containers for storage and transportation of liquefied chlorine in cylinders shall be observed. ► Cylinders shall be stored vertically so that a leaking container, if found, Can be removed with the least possible handling of others. Tonne containers shall be stored on the sides all the time horizontally with suitable rollers or saddles. ► Tonne containers are equipped with two values each with an internal eduction pipe. A removable hood is provided to protect the valves from inj4ry during shipment and handling. In placing tonne containers in position for use, the two valves shall be in vertical alignment. The eduction pipes then permit the upper valve to discharge gas and the lower valve liquid chlorine. ► No other objects except chlorine gas storing containers shall be kept in the room. SAFETY ► All operating and storing rooms for chlorine gas appliances and containers shall be fire proof. ► Chlorine storage rooms should preferably be provided with chlorine gas alarm device which gives out an acoustic or an optical signal when the chlorine gas concentration is reached, the set value for which is 1'0 mg chlorine per cubic metre of air in case of a person working in the room and 20 mg chlorine per cubic metre of air when no human being is inside the room. ► The sensor for alarm device shall be placed not higher than 300 mm above the floors of the room. ► A bottle of ammonia is essential to detect leaks, etc, in case alarm device is not provided. ► Cylinder as well as chlorine shall be tested at every shift period for leaks, first by trying to detect the sharp irritating smell of chlorine, then by passing over each cylinder and around each valve and pipe connections, a rod with a small cotton-wool swab tied on the end, dipped in an aqueous solution of ammonia. If chlorine is, present in the air, the swab will appear to smoke due to formation of white cloud of ammonium chlorine. If the leak appears to be heavy, all persons not directly concerned should leave the area and the operator should put on his mask and make a thorough search of the leak. NOTE - In tracing a leak, always work down-stream that is start at the cylinder and work down along the Jirie of flow until the leak is found. 234 | P a g e ► Safety equipment, like gas masks, rubber gloves, aprons shall be housed in easily accessible (unlocked) cupboard placed outside the chlorination room. NOTE - Faulty gas mask is' worse than none at all. Hence these shall be tested frequently and canisters shall be changed at proper intervals. ► First aid box and eye wash fountain shall be provided outside chlorinator room. ► The provisions shall be made for emergency disposal of chlorine from leaking containers. The proportions of alkali and water recommended for this purpose are given in Table 1. ► Water shall never be applied to the chlorine leak to stop it, as it will only make it worse. ► When a chlorine leak occurs, the ventilation system should be operated immediately before any person enters the chlorination room. NOTE - Ventilation system should be controlled from outside. ► The exhaust pipe of the apparatus shall lead to the open through the shortest path and the outlet of this exhaust pipe shall not be readily accessible. ► In case of fire: the cylinders and drums containing' chlorine shall be protected by spraying with water since the containers' can burst at temperatures of over 70°C. Source of pressurized water shall be provided adjacent to the chlorination room. ► Fusible plug, a safety device, shall be provided over all cylinders' and containers designed to melt or soften between 70 to 75°C to preclude a build-up of hydrostatic pressure resulting from thermal expansion due to fire and other hazardous conditions. ► Before disconnecting the flexible leads from containers to gas headers, the cylinder valves should be closed first and then the gas under pressure should be drawn from the header and flexible leads before the header valve is closed. 235 | P a g e ► Solvents, such as petroleum, hydrocarbons or alcohols should not be used for cleaning parts which come in contact with chlorine. The safe solvents are chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. Grease should never be used where it comes in contact with chlorine.23 ► No direct flame should 'be applied to the chlorine cylinder when heating becomes necessary. ► The protective hood over the valve should always be kept in place except when the cylinders are in use ► In addition to this, the relevant provisions of IS:4263-1967 shall also be observed as far as possible. 23 Code for safety for chlorine 236 | P a g e ANNEXURE XI: ESMP MONITORING REPORT BY PIU Name of Sub-Project: Name of ULB: The components taken up for __________ town are detailed in the following Table.

The impacts have been characterized into the following ► Adverse or beneficial; ► Direct or indirect; ► Short, medium, or long-term in duration; and permanent or temporary; ► Affecting a local, regional or global scale; including trans-boundary; Table A: Impact Characteristics S.No. Impact Characteristics Definition 1 Adverse Causes adverse change from the baseline, or introduces a new undesirable factor. 2 Beneficial Causes improvement on the baseline or introduces a positive change. 3 Direct Impact Impacts that result from a direct interaction between a proposed project activity and the receiving environment/receptors 4 Indirect Impact Impacts that result from other activities that are encouraged to happen as a consequence of the proposed project Impact Severity Impact severity is a function of the extent, duration, and, sensitivity of the receptor. The definition of extent, duration and sensitivity to consider for determining impact severity has been presented in B Table B: Parameters to consider for impact severity S.No Classification Description 1 Extent Evaluation of the area of occurrence/influence of environmental impact; Extent can be defined as limited (within 2 km radius of the site); local (within 5 km radius of the site); regionally (district wide, nationally or internationally). 241 | P a g e 2 Duration Defines the time which a receptor will be affected. Temporary (<1 year); short term (1 – 5 years); medium term (5 – 10 years); long term (>10); or permanent. 3 Sensitivity of High sensitivity: Entire community affected (more than 100 receptor households affected), presence of world heritage and important cultural sites, presence of water body used by community within 50 m of project footprint, presence of ecologically sensitive area, national park or wild life sanctuary within 2 km of project site. Medium sensitivity: More than 50 and less than 100 houses affected, presence of forest area within 5 km, presence of water body used by community within 50-100 m of project footprint. Low sensitivity: No displacements, no potential for stakeholder conflict, less than 50 household affected, water body used by community present within 500 m of project footprint, no livelihood impact. Based on the above table, impact severity is calculated as presented below: ► Very low: Environmental changes are within the existing limits of natural variations. ► Low: Environmental changes exceed the existing limits of natural variations. Natural environment is completely self-recoverable. ► Medium: Environmental changes exceed the existing limits of natural variations and results in damage to specific environmental components. Natural environment remains self-recoverable. ► High: Environmental changes result in significant disturbance to specific environmental components and ecosystems. Certain environmental components lose self-recovering ability. Probability of occurrence ► The probability of occurrence of an impact is described below: ► Unlikely - The impact is unlikely to occur. ► Likely - The impact is likely to occur under most conditions. ► Definite - The impact will occur. Impact Significance Impact significance is determined from an impact significance matrix ( Table ) which compares severity of the impact with probability of its occurrence. 242 | P a g e Table C: Impact significance Probability of occurrence Unlikely Likely Definite Severity Very low Negligible Negligible Minor Low Negligible Minor Minor Medium Minor Moderate Moderate High Minor Major Major Impact significance criteria are as follows: ► Major: These denote that the impact is unacceptable and further mitigation measures must be implemented to reduce the significance. ► Moderate: Impacts in this region are considered tolerable but efforts must be made to reduce the impact to levels that are as low as reasonably practical. ► Minor: Impacts in this region are considered acceptable. ► Negligible: Impacts in this region are almost not felt. 243 | P a g e ANNEXURE XIV: FOREST NOC APPLICATION AND MAP OF PIPELINE 244 | P a g e 245 | P a g e 246 | P a g e 11 ANNEXURE XV: NOC ISSUED UNDER FRA, 2006, SECTION 3 (2) (FOR REPLACEMENT OF PIPELINE IN 0.0235 HA OF FOREST LAND) 247 | P a g e 12 ANNEXURE XVI: JUSTIFICATION OF POINT NO. 5 OF FOREST NOC NOC was provided by District Forest Officer( DFO) on 3.7.2017.
