The project would continue to finance structural improvements but would break with the prevailing build-neglect-rebuild approach by giving greater emphasis to establishing sustainable mechanisms for financing regular O&M and dam rehabilitation, enhancing State capabilities to manage these critical assets through institutional strengthening, and introducing risk- informed dam safety management. The project development objective (PDO) is to increase the safety of selected dams and to strengthen institutional capacity for dam safety in participating States. Project Components include: Component 1: Institutional Strengthening (US$ 40 million): This component supports further strengthening of dam safety management in the country through institutional modernization. A major focus of activities under this component will be increasing the oversight of dam safety by developing dam safety guidelines and by strengthening the capacity of various dam safety actors to carry out the regulatory functions defined in the proposed Dam Safety Bill, which has been passed by the Lok Sabha. Component 2: Risk-informed Asset Management and Sustainable Financing (US$ 25 million): This component supports identifying long-term funding needs for dam safety based on asset management and risk assessment financing for dam safety. This component would focus on: (i) improving the efficiency of public financing; (ii) generating alternative revenue streams Alternative revenue streams that could be developed include tourism and water recreational activities, fisheries, and other innovative schemes such as floating solar panels; and (iii) establishing financing arrangements for dam safety (e.g., dedicated budget lines). Component 3: Rehabilitation of Dams and Appurtenant Structures (US$ 200 million): This component supports improving the safety of dams through structural and non-structural interventions. Structural measures could include measures for seepage reduction (e.g., grouting, geo-membranes), hydrological and structural safety measures (e.g., additional spillways, fuse plugs), enhancing the reliability of operational facilities (e.g., gates), rehabilitating foundation deficiencies, strengthening dam concrete/embankment structures, and improving basic dam facilities (e.g., access roads). Non-structural measures could include standardized dam safety instrumentation, monitoring, assessment and reporting protocols for dam health; flood forecasting and early warning systems; integrated reservoir operations including streamflow forecasting for climate resilient dam management; preparation and implementation of EAPs; preparation and implementation of sediment management plans; and revised operational rule curves to account for climate change. 1 Component 4: Project Management (US$ 15 million): This component will ensure effective implementation of project activities and monitoring and evaluating project implementation progress, outputs and outcomes. The component will support: (i) establishment of the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU), which will oversee and coordinate activities of the implementing agencies of the project, supported by a Engineering and Management Consultant (EMC), which is currently being procured; (ii) establishment and operations of State level Project Management Units (SPMUs) within State implementing agencies, which can hire experts in various fields as and when needed on a contractual basis; (iii) setting up of a monitoring and evaluation system; and (iv) establishment of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control system. This component will also finance consultancies, as well as related material, office equipment and incremental operating costs. The project will provide investment and technical support for the establishment of a Management Information System and Information and Communication Technology systems. 1.2 SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION – MATRIKUNDIA DAM The construction of Matrikundia Dam Project across Banas river, a tributary of Kali Sindh river was completed in the year 2003 to divert water.

Hence, a separate agency was contracted to conduct the Environment and Social Impact Assessment to use it as tool for decision-making on the sub-project. Specifically, the objective of the ESIA is: i. To identify, evaluate and manage the environment and social risks and impacts of the project in a manner consistent with the ESSs; ii. To adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach to the project’s E&S risks i.e. a) anticipate and avoid risks and impacts; b) minimize or reduce risks and impacts to acceptable levels, if not avoidable; c) once risks and impacts have been minimized or reduced, mitigate; and (d) where significant residual impacts remain, compensate for or offset them, where technically and financially feasible; iii. To help identify differentiated impacts on the disadvantaged or vulnerable and to identify differentiated measures to mitigate such impacts, wherever applicable; iv. To assess the relevance and applicability of environmental and social institutions, systems, laws, regulations and procedures in the assessment, development and implementation of projects, whenever appropriate; identify gaps, if any exist, and v. To assess borrower’s existing capacity, gaps therein, and identify areas for enhanced capacity towards management of E&S risks. 1.4 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY OF ESIA The following approach has been adopted for ESIA: i. Study sub-project information, proposed interventions, their magnitude and locations and carry out assessment of each proposed intervention to identify the magnitude of E&S risk and impacts; ii. Conduct site visit to understand baseline environment and social settings, proposed activities under the sub-project, their location and sensitivity, if any. iii. Conduct stakeholder consultations to help identify potential stakeholders; to provide information on the proposed interventions; to identify issues and concerns; and finally ascertain appropriate mechanisms for continued engagement iv. Prepare baseline data essential for impact assessment in immediate vicinity area of proposed interventions from secondary sources, such as land-use, protected areas in vicinity, habitation, access roads, ascertain presence of indigenous (schedule tribe)/vulnerable people, etc. v. Review relevance and applicability of national and state legal requirements and Bank’s ESF policy, standards and directives and preliminary assessment of impacts as per ESS framework (2-8), suggest mitigation measures in accordance with the requirements of each applicable standard vi. Undertake institutional assessment to identify existing capacities & relevant gaps to manage E&S risks and impacts All formats used for collection of the above information, checklists used for consultations and photographs towards preparation of the Draft ESIA report are in the project files 6 Chapter LEGAL, REGULATORY AND 2 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK India has well defined environmental and social regulatory framework. The regulation applicability depends on nature of work and location of work. Broadly legislation can be divided into four categories viz environmental, social, wildlife protection, and forests conservation. The applicability of environmental laws to dam are mostly at setting up new dams compared to rehabilitation stage. The applicability analysis of regulations pertaining to all the above four categories is carried out and summarized at section 2.1. Central Water Commission, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India has also prepared “Operational Procedures for Assessing and Managing Environmental Impacts in Existing Dam Projects� as a guiding document for the dam owners to systematically address in advance the environmental safeguard requirements and have discussed in detail all applicable legal requirement. Reference has been drawn from this document as well while carrying out applicability analysis. The World Bank ESF comprises 10 ESSs (ESS1 to ESS10) and 2 Directives. The applicability of each standard to the proposed rehabilitation proposals and standard specific requirements is analysed and presented at Section 2.2. 2.1 APPLICABILITY ANALYSIS OF INDIAN REGULATION The regulatory applicability analysis to the proposed rehabilitation work has been carried out considering nature of improvements, methodology of construction/improvement, material requirement, sourcing and transportation mode, and waste generation.

The department has two distinct divisions – IGND (Indira Gandhi Nahar Division) and Water Resources Division. Water Resources Division who will be responsible for implementing the project is headed by Principal Secretary. The mandate of WRD is: • Construction of major, medium and minor irrigation projects, • Operation and maintenance of existing tanks, canals and other irrigation structures are the prime function of the Irrigation Department. • Flood control measures and floods related remedial measures are also assigned to the Irrigation Department. • Construction of irrigation structures under various special schemes like PMKSY, MJSA, AIBP, JICA etc. are entrusted to the Irrigation department. • Collection of revenue pertaining to sale of water from tanks irrigating more than 1000 ha. of land is done by the Irrigation Department. However, collection of irrigation charges in respect of tanks Engineering irrigating less than 1000 ha. is assigned to the Patwaris of the Revenue Department. • Construction and maintenance of the rest houses of irrigation department, office buildings, residential buildings of the staff, gardens, parks, roads etc. Specifically, in respect of capacity to address E&S issues, WRD Rajasthan do not have in- house expertise. Chief Engineer at SPMU and Executive Engineer at dam level look after all the aspects. Presently, no formal system is established for dealing with external complaints . 21 Chapter OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL 3 CONDITIONS The baseline conditions are analysed based on secondary information and site observations and are presented in following order Physical, Biological, Protected area and Socio-economic profile. 3.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Land Use/ Land Cover The project surrounding area land use and environmental sensitivity was analysed using Remote Sensing & GIS techniques and drawing 5 km radius land use/ land cover map presented at Figure 3.1. As can be seen from the map, present land use upstream of dam is waterbody (reservoir) surrounded by agriculture and fallow land on both sides and on downstream side along both the banks there are agriculture, settlements and fallow land. However, as discussed under Chapter 1 about project description, the project activities will be confined to dam body only and no activities are proposed beyond existing dam boundaries. Villages in proximity i.e. within 5 km distance from dam on downstream side have been identified as Arni, Gandraf, Ganeshpura, Gegpura, Jawasiya, Kiron Ka Khera, Matrikundiya, Somi, Teela Khera, Parmeshwar Pura and Gurjaniya of Chittorgarh District. These are considered as vicinity villages which may get impacted due to project activities. Figure 3.1: Land use/ Land cover Map of 5 Km radius around Dam site 22 Ambient Air Quality and Noise Site-specific data of ambient air quality and sound levels at project site is not available. However, general observation is made during site visit that area is free of air and noise pollution. This is substantiated by the fact that the dam is away from habitation, traffic and industries and are no anthropogenic sources of air/noise pollution in the vicinity. Road to dam site is private and public access is restricted. Therefore, ambient air is clean and sound levels are observed low. They are expected to be well within the prescribed limits. Water Quality The gross catchment area is 3485 sq km out of which 2472 sq km has been intercepted by upstream reservoirs resulting into 943 sq km as being net free catchment area. Results of water quality monitored by Central Pollution Control Board monitoring are presented in Table 3.1. The water temperature varies from maximum 34 °C to minimum 16 0C. The water pH varies from 7.5 to 9.4 and the concentration of Conductivity varied in surface water from a maximum level of 2100 µmhos/cm to 160 µmhos/cm. Dissolved oxygen at different sites varied from minimum 1.9 mg/l to 7.3 mg/l.

A comparison with Water Quality Criteria of Central Pollution Control Board show that samples fall under Class ‘B’. In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has developed a concept of designated best use. According to this, out of the several uses of water of a particular body, the use which demands highest quality is termed its designated best use. Five designated best uses have been identified. This classification helps the water quality managers and planners to set water quality targets and design suitable restoration programs for various water bodies. Class A corresponds to Drinking Water Source without conventional treatment but after disinfection and Class B corresponds Outdoor Bathing 23 (organised). Natural Hazards Potential of natural hazards such as flooding and earthquake is not significant. Design flood has been revised from 4370 cumec to 5547 cumec and spillway capacity of the project at MWL has been calculated as 6240 in PST so its adequate to pass the revised flood. Project falls in earthquake zone II, there is no revision and dam design has taken care of this aspect as well. Bureau of Indian Standards [IS 1893 (Part I):2002], has grouped the country into four seismic zones, viz. Zone II, III, IV and V. Zone II is the least active and Zone V is the most active. 3.2 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT Flora According to Champion and Seth (1968), forest of the study the state has 20 forest types which belong to two forest type groups viz. Tropical Dry Deciduous, Tropical Thorn Forests, Bamboo Forests and Mixed Miscellaneous Forests. The forest on the hills was represented by Anogeissus pendula associated with species like Anogeissus latifolia, Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia arjuna, Albizia lebbeck, Dalbergia paniculata, Acacia senegal, Acacia nilotica, Acaica leucophloea, Bauhinia racemosa, Butea monosperma, Capparis sepiaria, Cassia fistula, Dalbergia sissoo, Ehretia aspera, Flacourtia indica, Grewia flavescens, Dendroclamus strictus, Grewia tenax, Holoptelea integrifolia, Lannea coromandelica, Moringa concanensis, Prosopis cineraria, Salvadora oleoides, Ziziphus nummularia, Phoenix sylvestris, Sterculia urens, Wrightia tinctoria, Wrightia tomentosa, Vitex negundo, etc. In the rocky area Euphrobea caducifolia is dominant. Abrus precatorius, Atlylosia scarabaeoides, Cocculus hirsutus, Maerua arenaria and Rhynchosia minima are the common climbers in the area. Fauna Catchment of Banas rive provides habitation and sustenance for numerous fauna. The hillock forests, streams provide favorable factors for sheltering many kinds of wild animals. Rhesus Monkey, Blue Bull, Indian Fox, and Indian Palm Squirrel were sighted frequently species in the study area. According to avifaunal study carried out by Joshi & Kumar (2015), total 129 bird of 48 familes have been recorded out of which 44 were migratory and 85 were resident. Common bird species reported from the area are Babblers, Barbets, Bee eaters, Cuckoos, Bulbuls, Buntings, Cormorants, Flowerpeckers, Woodpeckers, Kingfishers, Kites, Lapwings, Minivets, Night Jars, Owlets, Parakeets, Pigeons, Quails, Flycatchers, Rollers, Tits and Heron are common in the area. Saras Crane, Storks (Painted and Blacknecked), Darter, Black-Headed Ibis are also reported from wetland sites. Among Herprtofauna Common House Gecko, Leopard gecko, and Common garden lizard and Indian chameleon are commonly sighted species in the area. 24 Proposed activities remain limited to dam premises and therefore no risk is envisaged on flora and fauna in the surrounding areas. These species are present in reservoir and also in river. None of the proposed activities under the sub-project will impact water quality of river/reservoir and therefore, there is no risk/impact on fish fauna. Fish & Fisheries Fishes are the integral component of stream and rivers. Matrikundya is a medium reservoir wherein major carps contribute substantially. This reservoir supports good fishery and contributes to economy, provides a source of income for the local inhabitants. Fish spectrum of the reservoir was represented by Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Heteropneustes fossili, Aorichthys seenghala, Labeo bata, Puntuis sarana, Tor tor and Wallago attu. 3.3 PROTECTED AREA Nearest Protected Area Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary is about 47.70 km from the Matrikundia dam location of the Project. The location of Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary in relation to Matrikundia dam Project is shown below. Figure 3.2: Map showing distances of protected areas from Matrikundia Dam 3.4 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT The dam is located in the district Chittorgarh. Eleven villages namely Arni, Gandraf, Ganeshpura, Gegpura, Jawasiya, Kiron Ka Khera, Matrikundiya, Somi, Teela Khera, Parmeshwar Pura and Gurjaniya have been identified as falling in 5 km area on the 25 downstream side of the dam. The project area does not fall within the ‘Schedule V1’ areas of the area. Pratapgarh tehsil in Chittorgarh district is in Schedule V area while the project is in Rashmi tehsil and is far away from Pratapgarh tehsil border. The district has ten sub-divisions i.e. ten Tehsil Headquarters. The brief demographic characteristic of the district is given in the table below: No. of Households 3,29,119 Household Size 5 Total Population 15,44,338 Population (0-6 age) 2,12,507 Male 7,83,171 Boys (0-6 age) 1,11,120 Female 7,61,167 Girls (0-6 age) 1,01,387 Sex Ratio 972 Sex Ratio (0-6) 912 Population (SC) 2,50,224 Population (ST) 2,01,546 Male 1,26,748 Male 1,01,893 Female 1,23,476 Female 99,653 Literates 8,21,825 Literacy Rate 61.7 Male 5,14,851 Male 76.6 Female 3,06,974 Female 46.5 No. of Workers 8,02,755 Cultivators 4,53,201 (56.5%) Male 4,56,632 Agricultural Labours 1,23,469 (15.4%) Female 3,46,123 Household Industrial 15,435 (1.9%) Workers No. of Main Workers 6,56,904 Other Workers 2,10,650 (26.2%) No. of Marginal Workers 1,45,851 Source: Census of India, 2011 (District Handbook) Data on population, occupation and amenities of vicinity villages have been compiled from Census of India, 2011 (See Annexure I for more details). According to Census 2011, total population of the study area has been worked out to 9,407. The gender wise distribution of the above population is 4,680 (49.75%) male and 4,725 (50.25%) female. The overall sex ratio of the study area has been worked out to 1,010 females per 1,000 males. Total population of the study area is distributed into different social groups like Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and General Category (including OBC). The share of these social groups’ population to the total population of the study area is 20.60%, 9.15% and 70.25% respectively. In the study area, 44.06% of the population is literate in which male literates are 64.58% and that of females are 35.42%. The overall literacy rate in the study area has been worked out to 51.64%. The male literacy rate is 67.91% and female literacy rate is 35.94%, creating a gender gap in literacy rate of 31.97%. The economic classification of workers as per Census 2011 is saying that total number of workers in the study area is 5,448 which constitute 57.91% of the total population. Of the total workers, 51.10% are males and remaining 48.90% are females. In absolute term, total 1 Scheduled Areas are areas in India with a preponderance of tribal population subject to a special governance mechanism wherein the central government plays a direct role in safeguarding cultural and economic interests of scheduled tribes in the area 26 number of male workers is 2,784 and that of female is 2,664. The gender gap in work participation rate is 2.20%. Agriculture and allied activities are the main occupation & sources of livelihood and income for most of the local people in the study area. Apart from this, other people are engaged in household industries and ancillary works. Rabi and Kharif, both are the main crops. Maize, jowar, cotton, pulses, groundnut, wheat, barley, gram, oilseeds are the main crops from production point of view in the study area. Vegetable and fruits are also being produced in the study area. In the study area, the major part of irrigation is doing by tube wells followed by canals and tanks. Basic amenities like water supply for drinking and other uses is available with various sources such as Tap (Treated & Un-treated), Well (Covered & Un-covered), Hand Pump, Tube wells etc. Electricity is available for domestic, agriculture and commercial or industrial uses in almost all over the study area. The study area having approach roads as Black Topped (Paved), Gravel (Kachcha) and Footpath. 3.5 CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT As per list of National Monuments in Rajasthan and list of State Protected monuments in Rajasthan; there are no protected monuments in and around dam site i.e. within 10 km radius of dam site. However, Matrikundia is a temple town and is known as Prayag of Mewar, a holi place on Banas river bank having a grand Shiv Temple. This Matrikundia temple, known as the "Haridwar of Mewar", has a shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva and is an important pilgrimage spot. Other prominent temples in the Matrikundia are Gaytri Mata Temple, Dadhichi Rishi Temple and Laxman Pool (Jhoola) at bank of Banas. 27 Chapter 4 STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION 4.1 STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION Stakeholder consultation was conducted as part of environmental and social impact assessments. The purpose was to: a. provide initial information to the communities on the proposed project interventions and particularly the non-structural interventions; b. help identify potential stakeholders who are involved at this stage and will be involved a later stage. c. ascertain if there are any legacy issues relating to displacement, resettlement, etc. d. elicit their responses in relation to key non-structural interventions such as early warning systems, emergency action plans e. identify mechanisms that would be deployed to engage with different stakeholders and particularly communities living downstream Stakeholder consultation meetings were conducted at both the dam sites on February 10 and 11, 2020. It was attended by permanent staff of the borrower (WRD) working at dam, workers from nearby villages; Sarpanch, women, youth and other household members from the villages. Meeting with officials Proposed rehabilitation works Location of proposed works: the “structural� interventions either on the dam body or within the premises. Staff quarters, guest houses that might be demolished or rebuilt: No Land availability for proposed interventions: all land required for the interventions available with the dam authorities. Legacy issues relating to displacement or resettlement i.e. pending from the time of dam construction: No. However, Community’s concerns with respect to Matrikundia Dam Matrikundia dam was constructed at the confluence of Bhilwara, Rajsamand and Chittorgarh as an extension of the Meja Dam of Bhilwara in order to meet the water needs of Hindustan Zink Ltd and Meja Dam primarily. As per information, farmers affected by submergence area of Matrikundia dam have recently moved to High Court through a Public Interest Litigation for safeguarding their agricultural land affected by the dam water. As per that report; locals claim is that the dam has been receiving water to its full capacity almost every year, due to which the crops in the area have suffered consistently. This has turned into huge losses to the farmers, who are solely dependent on farming and cattle rearing. They further claim that not a single penny in the form of compensation has ever been disbursed to these aggrieved farmers. Department is looking into the issues to sort out the matter. 28 Encroachments or squatters within the premises: Yes, around 300 farms are being cultivated on government land along the reservoir. These farmers undertake cultivation when the water level recedes. The department turns a blind eye to this. Areas within the dam restricted access: Access to the dam crest road is restricted. There is some encroachment by farmers on government lands in the submergence area. Tourism potential: Significant number of tourists visit the Matrikundia temple (estimate: approximately 150 a day), located adjacent to the dam. There are no tourism related investments proposed in the PST. However, there is significant potential for tourism development in the region. Institutional arrangements Implementation arrangement: No specific institutional structure to deal with E&S issues, though Executive Engineer will be in charge of rehabilitation activities. Assistant Engineer2 deals with the communities. Sarpanches have the phone numbers of AE / JE. Grievance mechanism: Complaints can be filed at the Assistant Engineer's office. People also have the option of using the Rajasthan Sampark portal (Chief Minister's Grievance Redressal System Mechanisms for engagement with downstream communities on water discharge or any other issue: A siren is sounded, which is heard in nearby villages. Dam officials inform the SDM office as well as police (for crowd control). Dam officials call up the public representatives (sarpanch) of downstream villages (at least 6-7 villages). Information dissemination regarding such “rehabilitation related� work related opportunities. Department does not advertise opportunities. The work is tendered out to contractors, who may hire local labour subject to availability. Gender: There are six women employees at the dam site and nearby rest house, employed as cleaners. These were employed after their husbands (who were the original employees) passed away. Tribal area: This is not a Schedule V area, tribal population is less than 10% in the overall area Meeting with Communities • tribal area/Schedule V area: Not a Schedule V area. 3 villages around the reservoir and many downstream • Lands taken for the original dam construction and legacy issues : The dam was constructed in 1980. No pending resettlement issues. • Affected or impacts due to dam operations: Seepage (in the three villages adjacent to reservoir) - At least 200 bighas affected by seepage. • Fishing occupation practiced in the area: The Fisheries department contracts it out to private players who typically don't employ locals. 2 Mr. Kishanlal, AE, Matrikundiya 29 • Women affected by the dam operations: There isn't any significant differentiated impact on women in the area. • aware of any early flood warning system: Villages in the immediate vicinity of the dam are aware of the siren. • any dam related accident: No • Concerns about the dam: Seepage (in the three villages adjacent to reservoir) - At least 200 bighas affected by seepage (b) Resentment in the villages through which the feeder line runs to Meja, that they are not benefiting from irrigation. The department estimates that a significant proportion of the water fed to Meja is illegally diverted by villages for use on farms. At least 25 villages along the feeder line have been demanding irrigation facilities. • Suggestions on mode of information dissemination: Public representatives (sarpanch) can be informed, who will then inform residents. Whatsapp groups exist in villages that can circulate information quickly. • Work opportunities: Public representatives (sarpanch) can be informed about any opportunities. Matrikundia dam ranks among the top dams in India in terms of the most number of gates (52 gates) 30 A temple complex adjacent to the Matrikundia dam receives significant local visitors, indicating substantial domestic tourist potential Based on these findings relating to both structural and non-structural interventions, potential stakeholders were categorized as follows: Affected, Other interested stakeholders, and disadvantaged and vulnerable stakeholders Affected parties: There are no affected persons who shall be directly or indirectly adversely affected by the proposed interventions Other interested stakeholders: In relation to structural interventions, these would be potential contractors, Project Management consultants, either regulatory bodies/institutional stakeholders such as Revenue, Environmental Authorities, etc. In relation to non-structural interventions, these would include: communities living downstream including farmers; Fishing Contractors; village heads (Sarpanchs), community leaders; district administration; police, state disaster management authority, revenue department; electronic and print media, etc. These communities would be key stakeholders requiring to be involved in the preparation and implementation of EAP. Disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups: Illiterate persons, physically challenged, women and elderly would be key stakeholders – requiring special focus and outreach to ensure that they are well informed about the provisions of the EAP. Communities welcomed such interactions and suggested the following modes of continued engagement: • Dam officials inform village representatives (sarpanch) of all downstream villages as well as the local administration (SDM office). • Also the practice of SDM office arranging for a vehicle with a loudspeaker to travel around the downstream villages and convey the message. • Village level whatsapp groups typically circulate news of such events immediately. • a whatsapp group of all downstream villages, can be created, through which information of community events as well as other emergency information may be circulated. 31 Chapter ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL 5 IMPACTS/ RISKS Based on the relevance of each Standard, as identified in the chapter on Legal, Regulatory and Institutional Framework, ensuing sections summarize the environmental and social risks and impacts likely due to the proposed interventions followed by the mitigation measures considered, for each relevant Standard. Table below, presents the Risk and impacts grouped in respect of the applicable ESS identified in chapter 3 earlier: Applicable ESS Risk and Impacts area assessed ESS1 The risks and impacts is carried out as per requirement of this standard ESS2- Labour and Working Types of Workers/labour and working conditions Conditions ESS3- Resource Efficiency Impact on Physiography/land use/Geology/Soil and Pollution Prevention Impacts on water resources/Water Quality and Management Impact on Air quality/Noise levels Impact due waste generation/disposal ESS4 Community Health and safety 5.1 ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF E&S RISK AND IMPACT (ESS 1) Proposed intervention are categorised as civil, electromechanical and paint work requiring labour involvement for works and their stay at site for a period of about 3 years, use of resources such as water and power during construction, pollution generation from storage and handling of material, generation of waste, use of paints and other chemicals for construction activities, transportation of raw material, etc. In addition, labour intensive work always involves risks of accidents such as working at heights, working on upstream body of dam, underground activities, etc. As all the proposed structural interventions are within the dam premises or the dam structure itself, no adverse impacts are not envisaged on communities including on the disadvantaged or vulnerable people. On the contrary, all communities including disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups will indirectly benefit from these proposed interventions that shall enhance dam safety. However, in case of non-structural interventions relating to early flood warning systems having siren systems, broadcasting facilities and Emergency Action Plans, project will need to make extra efforts to reach out to the disadvantaged and vulnerable persons and groups to involve them in both preparation and implementation. 32 5.2 LABOUR AND WORKING CONDITIONS (ESS 2) Water Resources Department, Rajasthan shall contract agencies to undertake civil works, agencies/firms to support core-functions; primary suppliers of material/equipment and other implementation support partners, and these could be from anywhere in the country. Construction works will require labour force and associated goods and services. Based on the construction package sizes and the project implementation schedule, the peak construction workforce/manpower has been estimated as 40-50. These will be skilled and semi-skilled workforce of contractors and expected to stay on site for a period of 3 years. In addition, there will be floating population of suppliers, transporters of material and their labour who will keep on moving in and out of the site during the work period of 3 years. Construction contractors are expected to stay at/near dam, set up construction equipment and machinery near work location at pre-determined /approved sites. Project shall comprise the following types of workers: 1. Direct workers: Direct workers will include the project managers and supervisors, who are employees of WRD. The estimated number of direct workers is not likely to exceed 30 as per existing institutional arrangements and practices of WRD. 2. Contracted workers: All the work force deployed by the Contractors will be deemed to be contracted workers. The Contractor(s) might further engage multiple subcontractors. All work force of all such sub-contractors will be also deemed to be contracted workers. These will also include Migrant workers as all the required labor will not be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons, such as worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. Migrant Workers: The migrant workers are that, who are employed for the Project but does not belong to the Project region and are not normally expected to return to their places of residence after work shift hours. The number of migrant workers in any contract package, would depend on decisions made by contractors, based on the locally available workforce and their skills for Project construction requirements. The migrant workers could be at all levels and include unskilled and semiskilled construction labour and could even comprise combination of male and women labour force. The migrant workers are either directly engaged by the contractor or through labour contractors, who supply the work force to as per the needs of the contractors. 3. Primary Supply Workers: No primary supplier or primary supply workers are anticipated as all goods and services essential to the core functions of the project shall be provided by the contractor – through a contract by Rajasthan WRD. 4. Community Workers: Community workers are envisaged under the Emergency Action Plans, who will be mostly volunteers for implementing parts of the EAP. Potential Labour risks: Following are the potential risks associated with workers/labours engaged in execution of planned intervention works. 33 Impact/Risks on Community 1. Waste generation from labour colony can pollute drinking water sources of community Impacts/Risks for Workforce 1. Safety issues while at work like injuries/accidents/ fatalities leading to even death, while at work; 2. Short terms effects due to exposure to dust and noise levels, while at work 3. Long term effects on life due to exposure to chemical /hazardous wastes 4. Inadequate accommodation facilities at work force camps, including inadequate sanitation and health facilities 5. Non-payment of wages 6. Discrimination in Employment (e.g. abrupt termination of the employment, working conditions, wages or benefits etc.) 7. Sexual harassment at work 8. Security of women work force 9. Absence or inadequate or inaccessible emergency response system for rescue of labour/workforce in situations of natural calamities. 10. Health risks of labour relating to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases In addition, other risks that would be applicable for all types of workers would be as follows: 1. Unclear terms and conditions of employment 2. Discrimination and denial of equal opportunity in hiring and promotions/incentives/training opportunities 3. Denial for workers’ rights to form worker’s organizations, etc. 4. Absence of a grievance mechanism for labour to seek redressal of their grievances/issues 5.3 RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT (ESS 3) Impact on Physiography The dam is operational since 1981 and the present interventions involve only civil and electromechanical works to improve dam operation and safety. All the work will be carried out at one location i.e. at dam, therefore, physiography will not change due to any of the proposed interventions. Therefore, there will be no significant impact on physiography of the region due to the proposed interventions. Impact on Land/Geology All project components are proposed to occur within existing dam with no land acquisition. Therefore, impact on land and geology will be limited to sourcing of construction material or related to disposal of construction waste only. The civil works will require different materials such as earth, aggregate, boulders, and sand. The requirement of such material is not large and will be sourced from already operational and approved mines/quarries. The construction waste generation is also likely to be minimal and will be either disposed off or 34 reused for land filling or levelling purposes. However, requisite mitigation measures will be taken to minimise impact further. The various ‘resource efficacy’ options during design include optimize usage of material generated from excavation for wall foundation and generation of construction waste from repair activities and thereby reduce potential impact due to dumping etc., are considered to achieve minimum construction footprint Impact on Soil Repair sites will impact soil due to repair and demolition works such as renovation of disturbed u/s riprap, spillage during repair works of steps on d/s face of dam, parapet walls, spillway crest/glacis, treatment of honey-combed U/S area, lift joints for concrete dam, operation of construction equipment and machinery and waste generation thereof, etc. There is also possibility of contamination of soil from leakage and spillage during handling and storage of fuels and chemicals. Muck Disposal: The activities that generate construction debris and/or spoil are removal of damaged rip- raps, other repair activities such as repair works of steps on d/s face of dam, parapet walls, spillway crest/glacis, treatment of honey-combed U/S area, lift joints for concrete dam, etc. This being largely repair work, quantities have not been estimated and they are not expected to be significant to create disposal problem. Nevertheless, all the construction debris/muck generated needs to be disposed off in a planned manner to avoid adverse impacts on soil. Impacts on Water Resources The proposed intervention activities are not expected to impact drainage pattern or water resources (ground or surface) in any way as the proposed improvement interventions are neither crossing, altering or disturbing drainages nor impacting ground water resource in any form. The water for construction will be sourced from dam and as such requirement will be limited. However, use of water resources will be optimised before start of work through application of Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention techniques which will include optimal use planning, recycle and reuse option. WRD along with contractor will prepare project specific water use and water balance analysis based on detailed design and prepare an action plan for water conservation and management and submit to SPMU/CPMU/WB for approval. Impacts on Water Quality Construction related impacts and risks for water quality include: a) accidental release of fuel or chemicals and contamination from poor waste practices can affect surface and groundwater b) contamination from construction machinery working near water bodies c) discharges and disturbance of soil and sediment that drain into surface waters d) Generation of sanitary wastes from camp site and construction sites finding way to water bodies 35 Impact on Ambient Air Quality As discussed in baseline, ambient air quality in the area is pristine and without any significant anthropogenic sources of pollution. Construction activities can give rise to dust emissions if not effectively managed and have the potential to affect receptors near to the main construction sites due to dust generated from demolition, excavation, operation of construction equipment and machinery, increased movement of vehicles, onto the local road network. Earth works will result in exposed areas of soil which will potentially generate dust when it is windy, with dust potentially being generated when winds blow at all times of day or night, not just during active periods of construction. The level and distribution of dust emissions will vary according to the duration and location of activity, weather conditions, and the effectiveness of suppression measures. Gaseous emission during construction will be from machinery, equipment and vehicles used for material transportation. The operation of vehicles and equipment will result in emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen. In particular, all commercial vehicle driven with diesel fuel is often used in India. The greatest impact on air quality due to emissions from vehicles and plant will be in the areas immediately adjacent to work area. Generally, additional vehicle movements generated during the construction phase will have the potential to influence local air quality at sensitive receptors located at close proximity to road and pollutant concentration is likely to reduce with increase distance from road. The impacts will therefore apply mostly to the villages on route to dam. As the project is presently operational and the interventions are not going to alter the project operation in any manner, no operational phase impacts are envisaged on ambient air quality. Impact of Noise and Vibration Sources of noise will be the vehicles and equipment for construction at the project site. Due to construction activity in the area, noise levels will increase during the period of construction, however, they will remain limited to the work area mainly where construction activity will progress. Additionally, noise levels will increase on approach roads due to increased traffic. Impact of noise generation due to operation of construction machines and equipment is the exposure of workers operating these machines and other who are working in the surrounding. Such impacts can become significant if they are exposed to high noise for long hours continuously. Impact of Waste Generation Migratory population is expected to reside in the area during peak construction period. Proper sanitary and solid waste management facilities would be provided at the labour colonies. In the absence of proper solid waste management plan, there can be serious impacts of land and water pollution due to indiscriminate disposal. In addition, there will be odour issues and health impacts. There will be an influx of labourers and other service 36 providers into the project area. Sewage and solid waste will be generated from the colonies. It is essential that from the planning stage, sewage management and solid waste disposal facilities should be conceptualized to maintain the health of the people and the environment. Solid waste generated from the colonies during construction phase will be disposed off as per Solid Wastes Management Rules, 2016. As most of the proposed activities involve repair and renovation, it is expected that construction and demolition waste in the form of debris will be generated. This being largely repair work, quantities have not been estimated and they are not expected to be significant to create disposal problem. Nevertheless, all the construction debris/muck generated needs to be disposed off in a planned manner to avoid adverse impacts on soil/land. All such wastes will be handled in compliance with Construction and Demolition Waste Rules, 2016 . Project interventions include substantial amount of electro-mechanical work such as repair of hoist, providing standby generator, providing and installing armored H.T. service line and L.T. armored cable for control room, gallery and gantry, epoxy thermal sealing & epoxy paint on vertical gate of dam etc. These activities will generate significant amount of waste in terms of replaced parts, packaging material, empty containers, use and disposal of oil & grease, iron scrap, etc. there will be a mix of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. It is important to have a plan ready for disposal of such wastes before start of the activity. Contractor is obliged to provide first-aid/basic medical facilities to labour at site especially during accident/emergency which is likely to generate bio-medical waste, although quantity is not expected to be significant, this needs to be managed to avoid indiscriminate dumping as impacts could be serious. WRD along with contractor will prepare project specific muck / debris/Solid Waste disposal plan and provide sufficient site for such disposals. 5.4 COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY (ESS 4) Heath safety and security risks and impacts on project affected communities especially on vulnerable people are not considered significant as communities are not directly involved or getting impacted. However, the project construction would involve engagement of labour, transportation and handling of material, civil construction and electromechanical works and such activities will impact the community and increase the risks. Engagement of labour for project work and their stay at site for about 3 years’ time, will increase the risks of crimes including gender based violence. Waste generation from labour camps/colony if not handled properly, will pollute the water resources used by community for drinking leading to health impacts. Migratory workforce may be bringing in new and infectious diseases not known to area. Transportation of material will increase the traffic on village roads. There are 11 villages in vicinity of dam site where traffic will be impacted due to increased movement of traffic and thus impact the community by way of increased noise and air pollution. In addition, this will also increase the risk of accidents. 37 Similarly, civil construction and electromechanical works will lead to pollution generation in the form of air emissions and noise generation, which will remain local and are not expected to impact the community. Construction waste and electromechanical work waste, especially the hazardous waste if not disposed off properly have the potential of impacting the surrounding community. 38 Chapter ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL 6 MANAGEMENT PLAN As can be seen from the above discussion, the interventions proposed under Matrikundia sub-project are of the nature of civil and electromechanical work, besides Non-structural interventions such as early flood warning systems, Emergency action plans. In case of structural interventions, there is no additional land requirement – neither forest nor private, as all the interventions remain within the close proximity to dam body itself. Impacts/risks as assessed under ESIA study will remain limited to dam area except for procurement and transportation of material and labour habitation in the area, which have the potential of impacting community around the dam site. 6.1 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN E&S impacts/risks for this sub-project Dam is Low risk, as identified in the previous chapter. These risks and impacts can be mitigated by appropriately implementing management measures. Based on the ESIA following plans/procedures have been identified to effectively mitigate the environment and social impacts and risks of the proposed interventions: • Labour Management Procedure including GRM The Procedure will set out the way in which project workers will be managed, in accordance with the requirements of national law and the bank’s ESS Standards and will address the way in which this ESS will apply to different categories of project workers. It covers the terms and conditions of employment, non-discrimination and equal opportunity, worker’s organization and welfare. Protecting the workforce, establishing minimum age for labour to prevent child labour will be defined in the procedure. The responsibility to manage any adverse impacts would be clearly reflected in the contractual obligations of the Contractor with appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance. A grievance mechanism will be provided for all direct workers and contracted to raise workplace concerns and workers will be informed of the grievance mechanism at the time of recruitment along with the measures put in place to protect them against any reprisal for its use. Mechanism should be easily accessible to all project workers. It should be designed to address concerns promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that provides timely feedback to those concerned in a language they understand, without any retribution, and will operate in an independent and objective manner. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E & S staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP 2 in the state. It will be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor. • OHS Measures 39 Measures relating to occupational health and safety applies to the project as it involves engagement of workers. The OHS measures will take into account the General Environment Health and Safety Guidelines and applicable legal requirements. The OHS measures will be designed and implemented to address: i. identification of potential hazards to project workers, particularly those that may be life threatening; ii. provision of preventive and protective measures, including modification, substitution, or elimination of hazardous conditions or substances; iii. training on occupational safety and health, and maintenance of training records iv. Provision of personal protective equipment without expense to the project workers. v. documentation and reporting of occupational accidents, diseases and incidents; vi. emergency prevention and preparedness and response arrangements to emergency situations; vii. remedies for adverse impacts such as occupational injuries, deaths, disability and disease viii. accident reporting and analysis procedure ix. system for regular review of OHS performance The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E & S staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP 2 in the state. It shall be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor. • GBV Risk Mitigation Guidelines The proposed structural interventions are extremely localized in nature and will be carried out in areas of restricted access – as normally all dams are. These structural interventions will not result in any project interface with local communities, the overall GBV rating for this dam intervention as per the Risk Assessment Tool is low. Hence, in accordance with the overall GBV Risk Mitigation Framework for the project, guidelines will be developed commensurate to the low risk category to address Gender Based Violence Risk before invitation of bids. The Plan will provide a set of measures such as orientation to all categories of labour including department staff/dam site personnel. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E&S Staff of Rajasthan WRD. • Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention Measures Keeping in view the risks and impacts of the proposed activities, WRD will prepare a set of measures to be implemented by the Contractors to ensure efficient use of resources and avoid/minimize the pollution from proposed interventions. The measures should address all possible impacts identified above, with respect to resource use and pollution generation from civil works including road repair, electromechanical and painting work and also from labour camps and colonies. It should focus on reuse/recycling; energy efficiency such as solar lights and cookers for colony/community kitchen for workers, where possible. The project’s demand for major raw material such as boulders, aggregate and sand for construction will be sourced through pre-existing authorized quarries, with valid environment clearance. To mitigate air and noise pollution from transportation, material storage and handling and construction activities, following measures should be included: • To ensure trucks are loaded only up to permitted capacities to prevent high emission 40 • The ensure trucks used for transportation of material is covered by tarpaulin and provided tail board, so that en-route spillage and generation of fugitive dust are prevented. • Vehicles in good condition with valid PUC (Pollution Under Control) certificate shall be deployed during construction • Regular sprinkling of the water will be done on construction sites for dust suppression. • Mobile DG sets shall be used for lighting only during construction phase and they should meet emission and noise standards as per guidelines/standards issued by CPCB. • All the construction workers and other staff, who get directly exposed to dust, should necessarily be provided with dust masks. Workers in high noise area, will be provided with ear muffs and their use will be monitored. Workers exposure (time duration) to high noise will also be controlled. • Minimize the use of noise producing equipment during night hours to avoid the disturbance to locals and wild animals of surrounding area. To mitigate the risk of wastewater from construction site and colony finding its way to fresh water source without treatment, the following measures should be included: • All toilets and wash areas in worker’s colony have functional septic tanks and soak pit arrangements, of adequate capacity. • No discharge from oil/lube storage areas shall be directly discharged in to any open surface water channel/ streams. • Construction along the river bank/reservoir shall be done when surface water level is receded and clear construction area is available. • Storage of material and construction equipment should be kept away from the drainages to avoid any spillage and pollution of surface water. For solid and hazardous waste management, sites should be identified for disposal of construction waste, surplus excavated material, and other solid wastes; and appropriate permissions taken for dumping with restoration plan covering engineering and biological measures as appropriate. No dump site shall be located in forest area. WRD will share identified locations of muck or debris disposal sites with the contractor. The contractor will develop a muck and debris disposal plan after incorporating longitudinal and cross section references to assess volume or capacity of the disposal site and will submit muck/ debris disposal plan before commencement of the work at site. This action needs to be included in the Bid Document as one of the key requirements WRD needs to prepare a plan to identify and quantify all the waste generated from electro- mechanical work include replaced parts with estimated quantities and categorisation as hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The plan should also identify the temporary secured and covered storage location till the time it is removed, contractors/vendors who will pick these parts/wastes; authorisation status of contractors for hazardous wastes. Measures should also cover cleanliness of the labour colony, provision of basic sold waste collection facilities and restrict dumping of solid waste on land or in water body. Contractor 41 should provide bins for dumping of domestic waste from colony and ensure timely pick up and dumping at authorised location. The document shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD with support from the E&S staff and shall be applicable for all dams taken under DRIP 2 in the state. It shall be disclosed by Rajasthan WRD one month before mobilization of the Contractor. • Emergency Response Plan The plan will identify and implement measures to address emergency events, arising from both natural and man-made hazards, typically in the form of fire, explosions, leaks or spills or flooding of downstream area in case of dam break. The measures will be designed to address the emergency event in a coordinated and expeditious manner, to prevent it from injuring the health and safety of the community, and to minimize, mitigate and compensate for any impacts that may occur. ERP will cover emergency preparedness and response activities, resources, and responsibilities, and will disclose appropriate information to affected communities, relevant government agencies, or other relevant parties. The Borrower will assist and collaborate with affected communities, relevant government agencies and other relevant parties in their preparations to respond effectively to an emergency. The plan so prepared should be dovetailed with district disaster management plan and state disaster management plan. The plan shall be prepared by Rajasthan WRD by engaging expert consultants and is part of DRIP 2 activities; it should be ready before the invitation of bids. • Procedures for Stakeholder Engagement The Stakeholder Engagement Framework (SEF) will describe the timing, methods of engagement with stakeholders and range of information, distinguishing between project- affected parties and other interested parties, as well as the type of information to be sought from them. The procedures developed based on SEF will set out how stakeholders will be engaged throughout project preparation and implementation and describe the measures that will be used to remove obstacles to participation, and how the views of differently affected groups will be captured. Where applicable, the procedures will include differentiated measures to allow the effective participation of those identified as disadvantaged or vulnerable. The draft Framework will be prepared by CWC in discussion with Rajasthan WRD and will be disclosed. The Stakeholder Engagement Procedures will be developed specific to the proposed interventions at the site, prior to invitation of bids. • Institutional Arrangement As part of institutional strengthening for implementation of sub-projects, Environmental and Social staff will be engaged by the department to enable preparation of management plans as well subsequent implementation of mitigation measures during implementation. IA will hire experts from outside department or seek deputation of staff with relevant experience. The IA should develop a mechanism to resolve pending submergence related issues and also to address any such issues that might arise in the future. 42 • Grievance Mechanism WRD shall establish and implement a grievance mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of concerns and grievances, from the communities and other stakeholders including implementation partners. It shall be proportionate to the potential risks and impacts of the project and be accessible and inclusive. The department will establish three levels of Grievance Mechanism: 1. A cell at each of the dam site headed by respective Executive Engineer 2. A cell at the SPMU headed by Chief Engineer (CE)/Project Director (PD) 3. A committee at the state government level headed by Secretary to Government Details on the processes and procedures for the GRM will be provided in the Stakeholder Engagement Framework. 6.2 MONITORING REPORTING AND BUDGETING SPMU will prepare a monitoring, reporting and budgeting requirement to implement above plans and measures, which will be approved by CPMU - CWC. This will form part of bid documents for contractors for carrying out the proposed activities. SPMU will prepare a quarterly monitoring report and submit to CPMU - CWC. 6.3 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS WRD, Rajasthan will agree on an Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) with the Bank covering the material measures and actions that are required for the project to achieve compliance with the ESSs over a specified timeframe. It will take into account the findings of the environmental and social assessment, the Bank’s environmental and social due diligence and the results of engagement with stakeholders. ESCP will clearly spell out the plans to be prepared with time frame and responsibility. . 43 Annexure I Socio-economic Profile of Proximity villages (Study Area) Study area is defined as proximity villages i.e. villages which fall within 5 km distance from dam on downstream side.
