(UDHD), Government of Jharkhand has designed the Jharkhand Municipal Development Project (JMDP) with an objective to improve urban service delivery and urban management capacities in selected Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). 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 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 Kanko Chowk - Vinod Vihari Chowk (11.7 km) and Vinod Vihari Chowk - Memco Gol Building Chowk NCB-01 and NCB-02 sub-project by consultants independent of DPR consultants, following the requirements of Bank OP 4.01 Category B project. WBG EHS Guidelines, and Industry Sector Guidelines, IFC EBRD Worker Accomodation guidelines have been used to recommend suitable environmental management measures. Description of Road from Kanko Chowk - Memco Gol Building Chowk The subproject is proposed to strengthen, develop and beautifyan existing 2 lane road 11 to 4 Lane with cycletrack, pavement, roadside drains, and service lane and improved road furniture, lighting and safety features. This comprises of Kanko Chowk - Vinod Vihari Chowk (11.7 km) and Vinod Vihari Chowk - Memco Gol Building Chowk (8.2 km). The Project design is based on the Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Dhanbad (CMP, 2016), and extensive consultations with multiple-stakeholders and is termed Road 11. Dhanbad Road Sub project for Road 11 will improve road transport services by increasing space available for motor vehicles, with combined service, safety, and environmental benefits; as well as introduction of road design that is friendly to non-motorized transport. 6 It will also reduce any traffic congestion, travel time and enhancing mobility and road safety on the existing road stretch. The alignment has been selected as there is already 45m ROW availability of land for widening. An ESIA and RAP report has been prepared by independent agency, and the ESIA consists of descriptionof project, analysis of alternatives, environmental baseline, socio-economic profile of project impact area, details of public consultation, environment and social impact assessment, resettlement action plan and environmental management plan.This document provides JUIDCo and associated officials to mitigate or minimize the negative social and environmental impacts due to the construction and operation of the project and to enhance the positive impact of this project. The impacts relating to the project are localised, straightforward issues and require standard mitigation measures. The ESMP has been prepared to meet the requirements of World Bank Category B project. The document includes the impacts, mitigation measures and appropriate costs for the proposed mitigation measures. Institutional strengthening for environmental management is also an essential part of this document for implementing contract provisions and other environmental mitigation and enhancement provisions. Applicable Environmenta l and Social Policies The key environment and social laws and legislation applicable for Dhanbad Roads NCB-01 and NCB-02 project, are The Water (Prevention And Control of Pollution) Act, 2012; Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981; Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016, The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000; PUC for vehicles for construction under Central Motor and Vehicle Act 1988,Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996; The Child Labor (Prohibition & Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016; Indian Forest Act, 1927(Tree felling permission); MOEFCC Fly Ash Notification , 2009; Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016; Solid Waste (Handling and Management) Rules, 2016; Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016; Country Labour laws 1 and Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Steet Vending) Act, 2014. In addition, a clause and procedures for cultural properties chance finds will be included in the scope work of the contractor. 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 (Reg ulation 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. 7 World Bank Safeguard Policies applicable to the sub project include OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment), OP 4.11 (Physical and Cultural Resources) and OP 4.12 (Involuntary resettlement) and World Bank Policy on Access to Information and Disclosure. The project shall also follow WBG EHS Guidelines. Public and Stakeholder Consultations Stakeholder consultation was held twice as per OP 4.01, a) during E & S assessment (January – June 2017) and with the ULB after preparation of Draft ESIA in October 2017. During the consultation process, information pertaining to the sub –project like work schedule, procedures involved, project component, likely impacts, entitled grievance redressal mechanisms was disseminated. Stakeholders such as the public, the ULB, the Land Revenue Department, drinking water and Sanitation Department, Forest Department, Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board were also involved in the consultations. As per the design for the sub-project, seven temples and 2 statues are getting affected due to the road improvement activities and would require complete and partical relocation. Relocation of religious structure is a sensitive issue and thus needs to be discussed with the local people before finalising the road design. In this context, further Consultation in respect of all the seven religious places were undertaken on 9 June 2017 by JUIDCO. 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. The project does not require any land acquisition and the project activities will be restricted within available ROW. ii. All the affected households are non-title holders who will be compensated for the loss of structure and other assistance as per the entitlements deatiled in the Entitlement matrix prepared for the sub-project. 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. iii. People have raised the issue of road safety, dust pollution and noise pollution. They requested for incorporation of traffic safety measures to reduce accidents, once the road is operational. iv. Budget provisions have also been included in the R&R budget. v. The consultations for relocation of 7 religious structures were conducted with the local people. People in general agreed to relocate the temples considering the 8 requirement for better road in the area. But at one location further consultation would be required to convince people to allow for temple relocation. vi. As suggested by the local 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. Dhanbad Roads NCB-01 and NCB-02 Project is categorized under environment as E-2 and S-1 for Social impacts. As per the ESMF, the project is classified as E2. The projectpotential impacts are moderate, site-specific, straightforward issues; and will require standard mitigation measures, which are easily designed and implemented. 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 proposed sub project, is not a new road, but will upgrade the strength between Kanko Chowk- Memcogol Chowk by expanding to 4 lane, with cycle track, service land and pavement. It will have impact on 8322 trees, this however will be mitigated thr ough compensatory plantation in 1:2 ratio, (17000 trees) and transplantation of 6753 trees. The project will support all necessary measures for worker health and safety for undertakeing tree felling, transplantation of trees. The project will also invest in ensuring the survival of newly planted trees through dedicated funds and supervision. The construction phase of the project will also impact the livelihood of the vendors and structures currently located on the RoW. Temporary changes in land use at the borrow area sites is expected, however this is currently wasteland, and will be redeveloped after borrow activity is completed as per the borrow area plan in Annex II. Existing government licened quarries will be used, and no new quaries will be opened. The Project will relocate existing utilities, and 9 cultural properties comprising of7 small temples and 2 statues of local significance. These will be relocated and modified as per the priovisons of the RAP. All necessary management and mitigation has been included in the Physical and Cultural Properties Plan. There is a risk to worker and public health and safety, traffic and accident management during construction stage. In addition, there will be impacts to ambient noise levels, air quality, and an increase in fugtive dust emsisions at active construction sites. All necessary measures to manage road safety, traffic management, and public health and safety have been included in the ESIA and ESMP. Specific management plans and technical guidelines have been developed for Borrow Area management, Waste Management, Top Soil Management, Occupational Health and Safety Management, Emergency Response Action planning, Tree Cutting, 9 Transplantation and Compensatory Plantation, Physical and Cultural Resource Management Plan and Resettlement Action Plan. The key positive impacts due to the sub-project are (a) improved linkage between villages, communities and urban areas and, wider access to market facilities, health centres, education, etc.(b) increase in employment opportunities for locals (c) reduced travel time, congestion and pollution impacts (d) improved road safety, pedestrian movement and non- motorised vehicle movement; and (e) introduce a road design standard that is friendly to non-motorized transport. The project will not involve any land acquisition but will impact 258 households located within the available ROW. All the affected households are non-titleholders. Out of total affected structures, 116 are squatters. The project will also temporarily impact the livelihood of 13 hawkers who do their busniess in open without any structure. They arrange their stuffs along the road in the morning and go away in the evening. As per ESMF categorisation criteria, Dhanbad Roads NCB-01 and NCB-02 project is categorised as S-1. A separate RAP is prepared to meet the requirement of country legis lations and World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. 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 costs for environmental quality monitoring, personal protective equipment for labour have been provided in the ESMP budget. The ESMP has a budgetary requirement of INR. 73.0 lakhs for the construction phase for NCB1 and NCB 2 respectively. In addition, an overall cost of INR 4.35 crore has been allocated for compensatory plantation, and INR 5.9 crore for tree transplantation activity. The cost for the ESHS training, setting up of labour camp and its facilities have been included in the Engineering cost. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) proposes a budget of INR7.28 crore. This has been included in the overall sub-project costs. Grievance Redressal mechanism A GRC will be set up at the state and ULB level. The objective is to receive and resolve the affected community’s concerns, queries, complaints and grievances about the environmental and social aspects of the Project that could be encountered dur ing implementation as well as to address other social issues pertaining to social cohesion and integration once the sub- 10 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 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  ULB level community organizer or Chief Municipal Officer's representative The PAP shall require 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. 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 Dhanbad 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 RAP implementation shall act as facilitator in ensuring that all the complaints/suggestions reach the attention of PIU head especially of the PAPs and 11 local community. The effectiveness of the GRM shall be tracked through progress report of Construction Supervision and Quality Consultants (CSQC) and NGO facilitating RAP 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. Gender Issues, Action P lan and Monitor ing Indicators The main gender issues in the project is 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 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 RAP implementing consultant/NGO would increase the awareness among the women regarding their rights and opportunities available from the project. The monitoring indicators shall include number of women employed and their wages through the contractor’s progress report and monthly status of the grievance disaggregated by gender (GRM). 12 Institut ional and Implementat ion 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 Dhanbad, responsible for day-to-day supervision of the implmentation of the ESMP and RAP. The PMU specialists will also train and strengthen the capacities of specialists in the PIUs and other implementing entities. The project shall hire qualified consultancy firm/civil society organisations/NGOs for the implementation of RAP and other social mobilisation/IEC activities under the Project. The contractor’s team will include a qualified EHS Engineer to implement the ESMP and associated environmental quality monitoring. 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 CSQC consultant team will also contain a dedicated Construction safety officer to supervise worksite safety. The scope of work for the CSQC is outlined in Annex XII. The Project Management Consultants (PMC) hired by JUIDCo PMU 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 Dhanbad Roads NCB-01 and NCB-02 Project. 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. The JUIDCo PIU will submit monthly ESMP monitoring checkilists as per Annex XI. JUIDCo PMU will submit Quarterly Environmental and Social safeguards reqorting which includes progress and compliance on ESMP and RAP to the World Bank. 13 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The UrbanDevelopment and Housing Department (UDHD), Government of Jharkhand (GoJ), has created Jharkhand Municipal Development Project (JMDP) with an objective to improve urban service delivery and urban management capacities in selected Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). 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 formulations, 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 projects in the other sectors. 2. The JMDP includes upgradation of municipal infrastructure (expansion of coverage, and construction and rehabilitation of basicinfrastructure 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 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 environmental and social risks and impacts that may come up during implementation and throughout the project cycle; 14 ► to ensure the social and environmental sustainability of investments; and to ensure compliance with national environmental and social legislation. Above project entails planning and design of multiple sub-projects, located across different districts in Jharkhand, the approach adopted involved preparation a guiding document, “Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF)". Based on the ESMF developed, the Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) were conducted for priority sub projects. As per WB policy 4.01, an ESMF is an instrument that examines the issues and impacts associated 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, provisions for estimating and budgeting the costs of such measures, and information on the agency or agencies responsible for addressing project impacts. 5. The aforesaid objectives can potentially be achieved with appropriate financing support for infrastructure improvements and by introducing a broad range of improvements in urban policies, planning, and revenue enhancement. As required by the ESMF, Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) are being conducted for the selected priority sub- projects. 6. In view of the above, the Government of Jharkhand is seeking financial support from the World Bank towards the cost of the JMDP and intends to apply part of the proceeds in hiring consulting firms for preparing an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) for priority sub projects. The sub-projects have been identified by the Government of Jharkhand based on technical, environmental, social and financial sustainability of the investments. 1.1 Brief Description of Sub-Project 7. The proposed roads are located in Dhanbad cityof Jharkhand state, located about 147 km north-east of the state capital city of Ranchi. The nearest railway station is in Dhanbad and nearest airport is BirsaMunda Airport, Ranchi (150km). The sub-project is conceived based 15 on the Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Dhanbad (CMP, 2016). Details of selected roads for which ESIA is being undertaken is listed in Table 1.

Preparatory activities included review as well as compilation of existing secondary information pertaining to the project area and mobilization of the technical team involved. Field visits were planned and conducted with the following objectives: ► Assessing existing environmental conditions ► Identifying potential environmental and social impacts ► Identifying possiblemitigation measure ► Identifying interested and affected individuals or parties ► Preparation of a strategy for the Process for Public Participation (PPP) 1.3.2 Analysis of Alternatives 12. The feasible alternatives to the proposed project site, technology, design, and operation were analysed in terms of their potential environmental and social impacts. 1.3.3 Collection of Environmental and Social Baseline Data 13. This section details the methodology adopted for establishing the environment and social baseline. A. Environment Baseline 14. 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, stakeholder’s consultations and secondary data collection (drainage, topography, climate, soils, land use, flora and fauna, traffic forecasts, physical and cultural properties). 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 environment baseline, sampling of air quality, water quality (surface and ground), soil quality, noise levels were 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 ► Locationof water bodies ► Location of sensitive receptors (such as hospital, schools.) ► Wind direction and location of village//sensitive areas 18 ► Accessibility, power availability and security of monitoring equipment 15. The details of the parameters monitored have been presented below ► Ambient Air Quality: Ambient air quality was monitored at five locations for parameters including Particulate matter(<10 micron), Particulate matter (<2.5 micron),SOx andNOx. ► Water Quality: Information on water quality was generated by collecting and analysing surface samples from five locations for physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters and the quality was asseesedagainst the CPCB standards for ‘designated best use of surface water’. ► Soil Quality: Soil quality was assessed by collecting four soil samples from six locations.Thecollected soil samples were analysed for the physical and chemical parameters. ► Ambient Noise Quality: Ambient noise quality was monitored for 24 hours at five locations within the study area. ► Land Environment: Information regarding topography, geology, seismicity, ecology and land use pattern was collected through various field visits as well as secondary research. B. Social Baseline 16. As the first step, the secondary documents such as Census Data, ULBs data, etc. were reviewed for collecting basic socio-economic information. Further, the Socio-Economic Survey (SES) was conducted with an objective to assess the socio-economic profile of the project area. The SES was carried out through Multistage Proportional Random Sampling (with replacement) procedure with 95% confidence level in the Project Impact Area (PIA). The SES captured the socioeconomic baseline of the PIA and helped in assessing the benefits and impacts of the project with respect the actual prevailing situation. 17. As the next step, Census Survey was conducted with an objective of generating information on the following: ► Inventory of affected assets ► Categorization and measurements of potential loss ► Physical measurements of the affected assets/structures ► Identification of affected trees and crops ► Household characteristics, including social, economic and demographic profile ► Identification of non-titleholders ► Assessment of potential economic impact, including temporary loss. 19 18. The census survey covered 100% structures affected within the proposed ROW as per the corridor of impact of the DPR and drawings provided.In addition to SES and Census Survey, a series of public consultations were also conducted during Janu ary and March 2017 after finalization of the methodology, protocol and communication strategy by the JUIDCO, the World Bank and other relevant stakeholders. The stakeholder consultations were conducted through focus group discussions, individual interviews and formal as well as informal consultations. The vulnerable sections of PAPs and women were also included in the consultation process in the site level meetings. The public consultation helped in ensuring peoples’ participation in the planning and implem entation phase and further facilitated in disclosure of the project details to would be PAPs and the beneficiaries. 19. In conformance withthe World Bank principles of consultation and disclosure, consultations were arried out across the selected locations with the following key objectives: a) Understand the community concerns and issues b) Disclose environmental and social issues that may arise due to the project and discuss suggestions for mitigation measures c) Assess the present-day project site’s characteristics and definitive social, livelihood, and environmental impacts d) Consult with affected communities and/or entities on the proposed project alternatives to minimize adverse impacts and enhance beneficial ones e) Obtain a consensus on the proposed activity, potential impacts and suggested mitigation measures 1.3.4 Impact Assessment and Management Plan 20. 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), Physcial and Cultural Properties Management Plan and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). A relevant monitoring plan has been proposed to ensure effectiveness of the management measures. 21. 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 technicians/managers about the project ► Establish environmental and social baseline of the project area 20 ► Identified potential environmental and social impacts, considering the characteristics of the project and the biophysical and socioeconomic characteristics of the area ► Developed recommendation of mitigation measures to be implemented to mitigate the negative environmental and social impactsdue to the project activity 1.4 Layout of the Report 22.

Separate traffic diversion plan shall be prepared for structures and cross drainage works. The width of temporary diversion is being proposed to be equal to the width of existing carriageway but not less than 5.5 m, for existing two lane roads. Typical Traffic Control Zone based on IRC: SP: 55-2014 is presented below. Figure 3 : Typical Traffic Control Zone Source: DPR 2.4.9 Drainage 47. IRC: SP: 42-2014 Guidelines of Road Drainage; and IRC: SP: 50-2013 Guidelines on Urban Drainage standards have been followed to design the road side drainage of the proposed Road No. 11. Camber (transverse slope) of surfaced areas (carriageways, paved shoulders cycle tracks, and parking areas) proposed is 2.5% and is in line with IRC: SP: 42-2014 Para 4.4.2 as applicable for roads with kerb. Longitudinal slope along the road will be maintained above 0.5%, due to the gently undulating terrain prevailing in Dhanbad. 48. All proposed project roads are planned to have covered concrete drains. The drains are proposed on both sides for roads for both package NCB-01 & 02.Inner dimensions of drain are 0.85 m base width for proposed road under NCB-01 & NCB-02. Internal depth of drain will vary from 0.7 to 2.0 m with the depth of flow ranging from 10 to 40 cm. A free board of 15 cm above flow and below GSB layer (40 cm below nearest road level) have 34 been proposed to be added to the depth of drain. Discharges near outfalls (typically culverts and bridges) from proposed drains will be in the range of 0.2 to 0.9 m 3/sec. The resulting velocity at outfalls will typically range between 1.0 to 4.5 m/sec with an average value of 2.6 m/sec, whereas permissible velocity for concrete drains is 6.0 m/sec. 2.4.10 Improvement of Bridges 49. Three existing bridges on Road 11are listed below: ► Major Bridge 11-01, Km 0.389, 1x26 RCC T Beam and Slab + 1x52 PSC Girder, 2 Lane wide ► Minor Bridge at Km 2.407 RCC T Beam and Slab ► Minor Bridge at Km 9.956 Slab bridge also 2 Lane wide 50. The first two bridges are observed to be hydraulically adequate, but all the bridges are located in the centre of RoW and entire ROW is being proposed to be developed, so all the bridges will be dismantled and developed. The proposed bridges to be developed in Road No 11 are: ► Major Bridge 11-01, Km 0.389, 3 x 26 m RCC T Beam with Slab ► Minor Bridge 11-02, Km 2.407, 1 x 16 m RCC T Beam with Slab ► Minor Bridge 11-03, Km 7.423, 1 x 10 m RCC Slab ► Minor Bridge 11-04, Km 9.956, 1 x 10 m RCC Slab ► Minor Bridge 11-05, Km 17.760, 1 x 10 m RCC Slab 51.

There are 42 culverts on Road 11.All culverts are RCC slab culverts with a span ranging between 1 to 3 m.Carriageway width at culverts location have been observed to be typically 11m on Road 11, and generally narrower on other roads. The height of culvert varies typically between 2 to 3 m; and the foundations are of open type due to good foundation soils. The condition of culverts on Road 11 have been observed to be good compared to the rest of the proposed roads. Therefore, half of culverts on Road 11 have been proposed to be widened to accommodate wider road cross-section proposed; while other culverts are proposed to be reconstructed due to hydraulic inadequacy. At three locations (Chainage Km 7.4, Km 9.7, and Km 17.7), the existing culverts are proposed to be replaced with 1 x 10 m bridges. 2.4.12 Cross- sectional elements 53. Cross-sectional elements of Road No. 11 will include the following: 35 ► Number of carriageways and lanes; ► Shoulder types and widths; ► Cycle tracks and auto-rickshaw lanes; ► Service roads; ► Median width, if applicable; ► Car Parking; ► Hawkers Zone; ► Covered Drain with Footpath; and ► Road camber 54. Number of carriageways proposed are two for Road No. 11. Lanes are 3.5 m wide. As the road is within DMC area, it will be provided with paved shoulders that will be 1.5 m wide. Cycle tracks are proposed on Roads 11 of 2 m width and 19.99 km length. Road 11 has more land potential for development and is likely to have truck traffic diverted on to in the immediate future. Therefore, to segregate through traffic from local traffic, 7 m wide service roads are provided in both directions. Separate bridges are also proposed for service roads to ensure uninterrupted flow of local traffic. Median width in case of 4 Laning sections varies between 1.5 to 3.0 m.

This chapter details out the legal and regulatory framework under the ambit of which the ESIA was undertaken. It also reviews the national and state laws of Jharkhand relevant to the scope of activities under the sub-project, and, discusses the implications for the sub- project design and implementation. 78. Infrastructure development activities such as road construction may pose critical impacts on the environment largely from two perspectives. Firstly, the direct effects of construction which results in disturbance on environmental and social systems especially on property rights.Secondly, the indirect effects through economic activities which are created in the post-construction phase which have both negative and positive impacts on the environment and social setting of the nearby areas. Considering the implications, there is a need to manage the environmental and social impactsunder a legal framework both at national and state level. 3.1 Applicable National & State Laws and Regulations 79. An overview of the applicable environmental laws and regulations for this sub-project is provided in the table below: 43 Table 17: Applicable Environmental Regulations of Government of India and Government of Jharkhand S.No Act/Rules Purpose Applicable Remarks on Regulatory Yes/ No Applicability/ Non-Applicability Authority Environmental Regulations 1 Environment To protect and Yes As most environmental notifications, MoEF&CC, Gol, Protection Act, 1986 improve overall rules and schedules in India are State Govt.CPCB, The Environment (Protection) environment issued under this Act, an JSPCBs Rules, 1986 Environmental Statement needs to be submitted annually by the entity to whom Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate is being granted by the state Pollution Control Board. 2 Air (Prevention To control air pollution Yes This act will JSPCB and Control of by controlling emission beapplicableduringconstruction.

Firstly , the alternative analysis was done considering the “with and without project scenarios” which considered the potential social impacts, both positive and negative, of the sub-project. Secondly , an analysis has also been made during design finalisation taking into consideration the requirement in meeting the design standards for smooth flow of traffic and also impact of the opted designs on structures along the road. Both the analysis is detailed in the below section: 4.1 “ With Project” and without Project” scenario 85. In the case of ‘no-project’ scenario the existing roads will be considered as it is. The road network is narrow and unable to cater to heterogeneous traffic movement. The proposed roads have deteriorated in many parts and the current roads attract incremental costs in repairs. Frequent maintenance and gravel quarrying poses financial and environmental costs. Due to the bad road, road safety is low, travel times are unduly long and journeys cumbersome and uncomfortable. 86. Dhanbad city has a population of 11,62,472 (2011) and has the total registered vehicle population of 4,62,000 (2011). With the normal growth rate of population at 2.5% per annum, vehicle growth is expected at 5% per annum, leading to an addition of about 100,000 vehicles by 2020. Population growth, increase in traffic volumes and economic development will exacerbate the already critical situation. The existing unsafe conditions and the adverse environmental consequences, would continue to worsen in the absence of the proposed improvements. Therefore, the no-action alternative is neither a reasonable nor a prudent course of action for the proposed project, as it would amount to failure to initiate any further improvements and impede economic development. Table 22 presents details of impacts in two scenarios (i) “with project” and (ii) “no-project”. Table 22: Overview of positive and negative impacts in two scenarios: (i) with project and (ii) no-project impacts Sl.No Impacts in “Project” Scenario Impacts in “No- Project”Scenario Positive Negative Positive Negative 1 ► Reduction in wastage ► Minor Nil ► Increase in travel of fuel and in emissions changes in time. 59 from the vehicles, as land use ► Increase in fuel the movement of trucks pattern consumption. is expected to minimise ► Loss of ► Increase in dust with the improvement structures pollution and of Road No.11. and vehicular ► The imporvements to livelihood. emissions.

With the finalisation of ‘with project’ scenario, the next level of analysis was carried out to decide the most feasible design which will have meet the design standards and will also have minimum environmental and social impacts. The project involves only upgradation of the existing infrastructure and does not involve construction of any structure. As per the recommendations provided by Indian Road Congress (IRC), higher Right of Way is needed for the proposed sub-project. However, several consultations have 60 been undertaken to avoid acquisition of additional land to ensure minimum negative impacts on the society and environment. Two design options with different cross-sections and facilities were considered before finalising the design. Both these options along with their proposed specifications have been detailed in table 22 below. Table 23: Alternatives considered Option – I The typical cross section comprises of a) RoW – 45 m b) Number of Lane – 4 c) Service Road – present d) Cycle Tracks – present Option –II The typical cross section comprises of a) RoW – 35 m b) Number of Lane – 4 c) Service Road – absent d) Cycle Tracks – absent 88. All the design options can have a range of environmental impacts that will require concomitant mitigation measures to ensure residual impacts are not significant. The advantage and disadvantage of Option - I and II from social and EHS point of view have been presented in Table 24. 89. Option I and Option II can have a range of social impacts both positive and negative. Although impact on Non-titleholders (258 PAH) is higher for the selected option 1, the advantages to the roadside communities will be more from pollution, safety and convenience point of view. The chosen option allows for segregation of slow moving traffic, from high speed vehicles and heavy vehicles such as trucks by providing for separate service lane, cycle lane and footpath along with street light facilities. The selected option will also lead to impact on 7 religious structures out of which three would require to be fully relocated. 90. Table 24: Advantages and Disadvantages of Options considered for design of road Option –I Advantages: a) Service road have been considered under this alignment. The service road can be used as an alternative by local traffic police and road users who are vulnerable (such as bicycle riders/pedestrians) to the higher speeds and higher volume. b) Reduction in traffic congestion Disadvantages: a) The design will lead to relocation of 7 temples that are falling within the RoW b) Consent of locals are needed prior to relocation of the temples. Identification of land for relocation of templewill pose a challenge c) Approxiamate felling of 1560 trees 61 Option – II Advantages: a) The temples present in the RoW will not need relocation, which may preserve the local sentiments b) No alternate land has to be identified for relocation of temple Disadvantages: a) During operation phase of the road, mass gathering may occur during festive season near the temple, which may lead to increase in accident rate. b) Absence of service road may expose vulnerable road users (bicycle riders/pedestrians) to the higher speeds and higher volume on the main road. This may pose a safety risk. c) Junction configuration designs may be compromised due to non- availability of RoW. d) Approxiamate felling of 1000 trees 91. Initial consultations undertaken as part of the project activities indicate that the relocation of temple can be possible. Option – I design have been considered for the ESIA. 62 5 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE 5.1 Introduction 92. This section presents the existing environmental baseline status of the sub-project area. 5.2 Area of Influence 93. The area of Influence is the area likely to be affected by the sub-project, including all its ancillary aspects, such as access roads, disposal areas, labour camps, as well as unplanned developments induced by the project (e.g. spontaneous settlement, logging, or shifting agriculture along access roads). The Direct Area of Influence (DAI) can be defined considering the geographical area that may be directly affected by the potential environmental impacts of a certain activity. The Indirect Area of Influence (IAI) can be defined as the geographical area that may be indirectly affected by the potential environmental impacts of a certain activity. 94. The Direct Area of Influence is the area directly affected by development of the road, and will be 50 m around the project components. Given that the sub-project crosses a number of urban settings, the socio-economic DAI also encompasses a portion of the population living around the project area. The indirect area of Influence of the project is areas which will receive residual impacts of the activities carried out within the direct area of Influence. This area is larger because the activities carried out in the project area will affect the neighbouring regions in terms of noise propagation, disturbance of fauna, physical impacts of soil removal, etc. 95. Since the project is in urban settings, the socioeconomic IAI comprises neighbouring human settlements to the project area, namely the communities living along the project area, the communities whose livelihoods, economy and income come from DAI and the communities using the same access roads that the project plans to use. Table 25 below presents the criteria used to determine the DAI and IAI of this project.

The land use along 500 m the proposed area has been presented in Figure 10. 64 Figure 7:Land use along500 m of the proposed road project Land use of 500 m area around project site 1.7% 8.5% 10.8% 31.7% 45.8% 1.5% Vegetaion Agriculture Surface Water Built Up Barren Land Park 5.3.2 Topography 97. The town is situated around National Highway-2 (NH-2) and National Highway-32 (NH-32). Dhanbad is famous for its coal mining and has some of the largest mines in India. The town slopes from Northwest to Southeast, with levels varying from 265.5m to 125m. Figure 8 presents the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) map of DMC. 65 Figure 8 : DEM Map of Dhanbad Source: DPR 5.3.3 Geology 98. Major portion of Dhanbad district is covered by metamorphic rocks. As per Jharkhand geological map.The study area include rock types of ChotaNagpur granite and gneisses of Achaean age. Below presents the geological map of the study are a in Figure 12. 99. Error! Reference source not found.The main geomorphic features and landforms in the tudy area are as follows: ► Alluvial Plains: These are found near the river tracts and consist of gravels, sands, silt, clay etc. ► Pediplain (PM): These are developed over granite gneiss and Meta sediments. High frequencies of lineaments are found. These are found in Govindpur block and parts of Tundi block 5.3.4 Hydrogeology 100. Groundwater occurs in the area under unconfined condition in the weathered zones at shallow depths in most of the litho units in the Achaeans and almost all the litho units in the Gondwanas. Groundwater occurs under confined to semi-confined condition where the fractures are deep seated and are unconnected with the top weathered zone. Aquifer geometry-The aquifer geometry for shallow and deeper aquifer has been established 66 through hydro geological studies, exploration, the surface and subsurface geophysical studies in the district covering all geological formations. The aquifer can be divided into two zones – shallow and deeper aquifer. ► Shallow aquifer: The shallow aquifers are being taped through dug wells, dug cum bore wells or shallow bore wells drilled to the depth of 60 m. The weathered mantle and shallow fractures constitute the shallow aquifers. The thickness of weathered mantle varies from 5 to 25 mbgl. The well inventory data suggest that the maximum depth of dug well in granite gneiss and Gondwana is 17 m and 25 m respectively. Exploration in granite gneiss indicates that shallow fractures are less productive. Many dug wells and hand pumps get dried up during summer. ► Deeper aquifers: Deeper aquifers depends on groundwater conditions. Groundwater conditions in various litho units are usually described under two broad heads: a) Porous Formations : The main members of the porous formations are the Newer and Older alluvium of the Recent and sub-recent age. Recent alluvium is found in very thin veneers in topographic depressions along the Damodar River. Insignificant occurrences may also be noticed along Barakar River and in some major tributar of these two. They cannot however, be considered as potential aquifers. b) Fissured Formations : Achaeans meta-sedimentary, the granites, intrusive metabasics and the Lower Gondwana sedimentary constitute the productive aquifer. The first three types are consolidated formation and the last one is a semi consolidated formation. Figure 14below presents the Hydrogeological map of Dhanbad district showing the project area. 67 Figure 9: Hydrogeological map of Dhanbad district Source: CGWB 5.3.5 Ground Water Status 101.

A total of seven monitoring locations representing residential, 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, particularly predominant/frequent wind directions. Logistical considerations such as accessibility, security, 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 32.

The ambient air quality monitoring (AAQM) was in first week of March for each of the locations on a 24-hours schedule. The equipment was kept 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 (SO x ) ► Nitrogen Dioxide (NO x ) 119. For the collection of samples for PM10, SOx and NOx , Respirable Dust Samplers (RDS – APM 460 BL) (make: Envirotech) along with gaseous sampling impingers were used. For the collection of PM2.5, Fine Particulate Sampler (Model APM 151), make Envirotech was used. Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2) 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. All the analyses were carried out as per IS-5182. Results of AAQM are presented in Table 33. 85 Figure 19: Air Monitoring Locations 86 87 Table 33: Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Result(in µ g/cu m.) Sl.

Change in land use along RoW: For NCB-01&02 package, road development work will be carried out in the existing RoW section itself and no new land acquisition will be undertaken for it. As this is not a new road, and mainly encompasses widening of existing 2 lane road it will not take agricultural land. 156. Theland use along the 500m lateral distance of the roadside is characterized by mixed land use with predominatly agriculture land, and small portion ofresidential, commercial land. Clearance of vegetation, levelling, and borrow areaswill have temporary changes in current land use and the same will be restored eventually. Road 11 has small temples of local significance in the ROW, which would need to be relocated outside the RoW in agreement with the local community under the RAP. 157. Change in land use at construction cum labour camp site : The labour campsare proposed at Gargaria village located at 3.0 Km from KakoChaukand Velatanvillage which are about 3.3 km away from the sub-project sitei.e.Memcogol building Chawk. The construction cum labour camps will be set up on an area of approximately 2 acres each. The current land use at both these sites isbaren land. The land for the labour camp and its associated access roads will not include forest or sensitsive natural habitats, nor will it affect natural water courses and cultural properties. 158. Change in land use within the RoW: The approximate 80 percent compensatory plantation will be carried out inthe existing RoW of 19.9 Km road length and remaning 20 percent will beundertaken in community areas like school, Panchayat Ghar etc. 159. Change in land use at borrow/quarry sites: The borrow land used for material extraction (stone quarry sites and borrow pits) will also result in temporary change in land use. Quarry sites for stone : Govt approved quarry site shall be used for road material. Borrow sites for soil: The borrow sites identified for the sub-project are located at Village Kanko bharwadi, RathTand and Dhangiand the current land use at the borrow sites is wasteland. The estimated quantity of borrow material is 656500 cu.m.and this will require about 328250sq. m. of land dug to a depth of 2.0 m. 160. Disposal sites for waste : All solid waste generated through the project will be disposed at Dhanbad designed landfill at Sijua. The disposal of construction debrus and spoil material will have an impact on economic and aesthetic value of public and/or private land within and 130 around the disposal site. Construction waste shall be disposed in designated area or reused during construction activitites.The proposed sub-project will have direct impact and the duration of impacts range from short to medium term. Significance of Impacts The impact severity is anticipated to be high. The overall impact on change in land use has been assessed to be moderate. Mitigation Measures 161. Any cleared topsoil will be stockpiled to be used in re-vegetation scheme. Wherever possible mature trees will be retained. Cut and fills sections will be designed so as to minimize net materials import. Borrow pits will be reinstated and blended to fit the surrounding landscape environment. The contractor will avoid excessive borrow pitting as it will be difficult to rehabilitate. The topsoil will be utilized for the borrow pit also top soiling areas between road prism and the ROW to enable re-vegetation to take place. Guidelines for environment management measures for borrow areas have been provided in Annexure – II. JUIDCO will provide its contractor the site for disposal of debris identified through the ULB and approved by the JSPCB Guidelines for Waste Management have been presented in Annexure V. 162. Use of Fly- ashas per prevailing guidelines (Ministry of Environment, forests & climate change notification) in the country, fly-ash shall be used for concrete works fly-ash can be used as per current specifications of MORTH when fly-ash is available in adequate quantity (within 100km of any power plant). Therefore, the use of fly-ash in concrete works will be mandated through the Civil Works contract. 163. Quarrying will be carried out at approved and licensed quarries only. Copy of licenses will be submitted to the JUIDCO PMU and CSQC. Three registered quarry areas have been identified for the construction of project road Gobindpur, Palani, Baliapur Quarry & Crusher. 164. Borrow Areas: Three locations have been identified as suitable borrow areas. The number of borrow pits that will be established/used by the contractor according to the specifications in the Borrow area management plan. No borrow pit will be opened without the permission of JUIDCO PIU/ CSQC. Before opening additional borrow pits, operating pits will be closed per IRC specification. 165. Agriculture Top Soil: All areas of cutting and all areas will be permanently covered will be stripped to a depth of 15 cm and stored in stockpile. Top soil will be safeguarded from erosion and will be reused in agricultural fields and to cover up and restore borrow areas acquired temporarily. 166. Labour cum construction site: Labour camps and construction site at both the locations (Gargaria village and Velatanr village) are not located close to habitations, schools, hospitals, 131 religious places and other community places. No habitations, sensitive locations like temple, school & hospitals, forest areas and other eco-sensitive zones is present within 500m from the labour camp cum construction site. No major surface water body is located within 200m from the construction site. On the basis of the above reasoning, the overall impact of change in land use of NCB 01 and NCB 02 has been assessed as minor. 8.1.2 Land Contamination 167. Construction and Demolition Waste : General construction and demolition waste generated onsite during construction phase of NCB-01&02.The inventory and type of waste to be generated and its disposal arrangement is mentioned below. Table 47: Waste Generated during Construction Period S. No. Item Unit NCB 01 NCB 02 Disposal Arrangement 1 Clearing and Hec 44 32 Reuse in avenue plantation and Grubbing may also be utilize in filling the mines (unused mines). Cum 66035 48488 2 Trees Stems and No. 924 655 To be disposed by Forest Roots Department.

Pavement 168. Domestic Waste : Domestic wastes consisting of food waste, plastic, glass, and paper waste will also be generated by the construction workforce at any canteen facility/ rest area which 132 shall be constructed for them and also at labour camp site. Domestic sewage will be generated from labour camp. It is estimated that about 100_kg/day of domestic waste will be generated from the labour camp of NCB-1 and75_kg/day will be generated from the labour camp of NCB-2. 169. Hazardous waste : A small proportion of waste generated during construction phase of NCB- 01&02 will be hazardous and may include used oil, hydraulic fluids, waste fuel, grease and waste oil containing rags. If improperly managed, solid waste and wastewater both hazardous and non-hazardous (domestic) in nature can lead to adverse impacts on land causing soil and groundwater contamination. It is estimated that about 4-6 tons of hazardous waste will be generated in NCB-01 and 3-4 tons will be generated per annum in NCB-2. 170. Construction Demolition/ DebrisDebris due to excavation of foundation, dismantling of existing cross drainage structure will be removed from the water course immediately. All construction debris will be taken to the designated disposal site as agreed with JUIDCo and ULB. 171. Government of IndiaGuidelines of “Hazardous waste (Management, Handling and Tran boundary Movement) Rules, 2008 will be enforced. 172. Soil contamination during the construction phase may result from leaks and spills of oil, lubricants, or fuel from heavy equipment, improper handling of chemical/fuel storage and wastewater. Such spills will have an impact on soil quality, but are expected to be localised in nature. Storm water run-off from the contaminated area will pollute downstream soil and water quality of first order seasonal streams and water bodies within/close to the sub-project site. Embedded/in-built control i. Construction contractor will ensure daily collection, segregation, proper storage on site, and, periodic (monthly) disposal of construction and demolition waste generated at the disposal sites identified by the ULB and approved by the JSPCB. All waste management will be carried out as per the Waste Management Plan in Annex V. ii. Septic tanks connected to soak pits will be provided for sewage/wastewater management at the labour camps to enable wastewater to be treated and disposed safely. iii. The domestic waste from the labour camps will be collected and segregated at site, and, disposed at the municipal landfill in Sijua. iv. Spill control measures such as the storage and handling of chemicals and fuel in impervious areas with secondary containment will be implemented to minimize impacts in the event of a spill. 133 v. Unauthorised dumping of used oil and other hazardous wastes will be prohibited. vi. JUIDCO will provide its contractor the site for disposal of debris identified through the ULB and approved by the JSPCB Guidelines for Waste Management have been presented in Annexure V. vii. Oil interceptors will be installed at construction site. Significance of Impacts 173. The proposed projects (NCB-01& 02) will have direct impact and the duration of impacts will be short term restricted to construction phase. 174. The geographical extent of impact is expected to be local, mainly confined to the areas of waste and wastewater generation and their storages. The impact severity of both the packages is anticipated to be low as most of the wastes generated are anticipated to be non- hazardous, mostly reusable or recyclable and the inventorization and sites of disposal will be identified prior to start of construction. Based on the above the significance of impacts for both package NCB-01 & NCB-02 have been assessed as Minor. Additional Mitigation Measures i. Littering and burning of waste will be strictly prohibited and the labour will be oriented towards the same; ii. Domestic waste generated at site and at the labour campwill be segregated onsite, collected and disposed by the ULB. Recyclables will be sold to vendors/ scrap dealers; iii. Routine disposal of hazardous waste will be ensured through CPCB approved vendors and records will be properly documented with required manifests; iv. Spill control kits will be used to contain and clean small spills and leaks; v. Transport vehicles and equipment will undergo regular maintenance at designated areas (equipped with proper drainage) to avoid any oil leakages; and vi. Unloading and loading protocols will be prepared for diesel, oil and used oil respectively and workers will be trained to prevent/contain spills and leaks. 8.1.3 Soil Erosion and Surface Hydrology 175. Due to excavation and allied construction activities in package NCB-01 & 02, the upper stabilized portion of the construction corridor in both the packages will become loose and hence susceptible to erosion. Soil erosion may occur during the rains and heavy winds. The project site and study area mostly has soil of sandy loam texture. The site does not have very fertile soil. The area experiences annual average rainfall of about 1484.6 mm spreading over 76.2 days with June-September having maximum rainfall. 134 176. The loose soil will cause fugitive dust emissions with and impact on ambient air quality and eroded soil could potentially flow into adjacent waterways, water bodies, thus polluting them. The waterways and bodies that could be impacted are pond near ganduba, Near Mount Litera Zee School, NearBhuli, River Katri. Also, removal of top soil at some patches of land will lead to disturbance in the soil nutrient cycle and imbalances in soil microbial population. 177. The Road widening will increase impervious surface area, which serves to increase net run- off. Embedded/in-built control i. Existing roads will only be used to access the site to the extent possible; ii. Construction activities will be planned accordingly to take advantage of non-rainy season and major excavation work will be completed during dry season itself; iii. Stripping of topsoil/ top layer will not be conducted earlier than required i.e. vegetation cover will be maintained for as long as possible in order to prevent the erosion (wind and water) of soil. Topsoil, found to be fertile will be used for landscaping purpose iv. Open Construction sites will be barricaded to prevent locals and cattle from entering construction site. Significance of Impact 178. The anticipated nature of impact type will be direct during the construction phase which involves activities like excavation, storage of construction material on land etc. The geographical extent of impacts will be local and restricted to project footprint. The severity of impact during the construction phase is expected to be low. Based on the above the overall impact significance of the soil erosion has been assessed as Minor. Additional Mitigation Measures i. Areas for top soil utilization will be identified before start of construction activities and top soil will be utilized for plantations in the median after road development ii. The disturbed areas and soil stock piles will be kept moist to avoid wind erosion of soil. iii. Small bunds will be created in case of any activities near the water body or drainage areas within the site to prevent washing of the soil into these waterways; iv. Silt/sediment trap will be provided in areas susceptible to high erosion. v. The contractor will plan the activities so that no bare/ loose earth surface is left out before the onset of monsoon, for minimizing the soil erosion following preventive measures to be taken such asslopes will be covered, soon after completion vi. Top soil from borrow area, debris disposal sites; borrow area, construction site will be protected/covered for soil erosion. 135 vii. Roadside drains will ensure that all run off is channelled into the drains, so there is no issue with flash flooding conditions unless mitigation measures for such rare events are incorporated in project design. viii. Debris due to excavation, dismantling of existing cross drainage structure will be removed from the water course immediately. ix. Diversions for bridges will be removed from the watercourse before the onset of monsoon. 8.1.4 Soil Compaction 179. During construction activities, there will be compaction of soil in the project foot print and surroundings, due to movement of vehicles/ construction machinery and work force. The soil compaction will lead to impact on the soil physical properties such as reduction in pore spaces, water infiltration rate and soil strength etc. Significance of Impact 180. The project will have direct impacts and geographical extent of impacts will be local, within the project site. The duration of impact is assessed to be short-term and will be restricted to the construction phase of the project. 181. The impact severity is assessed to be low as the various activities will have soil compaction only at certain areas in the construction foot print. The significance of impact has been assessed to be minor. Mitigation Measures ► The routes for movement of heavy machinery will be designated to the corror of impact to avoid the soil compaction in other areas ► All service roads, haul roads will be redeveloped. ► Construction material will be stored in designated area only 8.1.5 Impact on Water Quality 182. The impact on water quality is expected to be: ► Waste water from on-site sanitation facilities: The major source of wastewater (domestic sewage) will be from the usage of sanitation facilities at the construction site and at the labour camps where about 70 individuals (NCB-I) are expected to work and 40 individuals (NCB-II) are expected to reside respectively. The quantity of waste water generated would be in the range of 4.3to 7.5 kilolitres/day. There is a chance for contamination of surface and groundwater resources resulting from improper management of sewage at the sub-project site and labour camps. 136 ► Waste water from construction site : There is a chance for contamination of surface and groundwater resources resulting from accidental spills/leaks at the storage areas. ► Runoff from excavation: The surface runoff carrying the excavated stored loose top soil at project foot print area will lead to increased sedimentation in the receiving water bodies. Impact Significance 183. There is only four surface water body located just near to approximately 100 m Road Number 11. Septic tank and soak pits will be provided (as per specifications given in IS 2470 1985 Part I and Part II) at labour camp site for treatment and disposal of sewage, thereby minimizing the impacts of wastewater discharge. 184. There will be no direct discharge of wastewater in the ground water aquifer, however groundwater levels as reported by CGWB varies in the range of 4-6 m below ground level in monsoon and therefore chances of contamination from project activities of NCB-01 & 02 is present. Significance of Impact 185. The duration of the impact is assessed to be short-term with low impact severity as the wastewater discharge will be limited and controlled through septic tanks at labour camp. The geographical extent of impact is assessed to be local. The project during construction phase does not anticipate affecting groundwater of the area though there may be some impact on surface drainage quality during rains due to construction activities which will be mitigated through silt-traps. Based on the above the overall impact significance is assessed as Minor. Mitigation Measures i. Toilets, soak pits and septic tanks, waste collection areas, storage areas will be located at least 200m away from natural drainage channels and water bodies; ii. Spill/leakage clearance plan will be adopted for immediate cleaning of spills and leakages. iii. Labourers will be given training towards proactive use of designated areas/bins for waste disposal and encouraged for use of toilets. Open defecation and random disposal of sewage will be strictly prohibited. iv. Silt traps will be installed v. Septic tank and soak pits will be provided (as per specifications given in IS 2470 1995 Part I and Part II) onsite and at labour camp for treatment and disposal of sullage, thereby minimizing the adverse impacts of wastewater discharge; vi. Proper cover and stacking of loose construction material will be ensured during construction of outfall structures at construction site to prevent surface runoff and contamination of receiving water body; 137 vii. Licensed contractors will be used for management and disposal of hazardous waste viii. Construction labours will be restricted from polluting the water or misusing the water ix. Construction work close to water bodies will be avoided during monsoon. x. Equipment and vehicle washing/workshops near water bodies will be avoided. 8.1.6 Impact on Terrestrial Ecology 186. As indicated in the baseline section, natural vegetation found in the area, mostly consists of trees, grasses, shrubs. About 1579number of trees of greater than 14-inchgirth on road number 11 will be felled due to project activity and around 6753trees along road number 11 will be transplanted near to the RoW. 187. Topchachi sanctuary is located approximately 20 km north-west of the Kanko Chowk (chainage 0.000 km) which is beyond the influence area (10 km). As indicated in the baseline section, flora and fauna found in the area are mostly mammals found in habitats as house shrew, house rat, and Indian grey mongoose and, stripped squirrel, reptiles as snakes, lizards and birds. No threatened, vulnerable or endangered species will be affected due to the proposed project Significance of Impact 188. The loss of vegetation will result in disturbance for many birds, reptiles and mammals during the construction phase. Including, rise in air, dust pollution and ambient noise levelswill lead to minor disturbances (temporary and localized) of fauna presentnear the active construction sites. 189. The loss of 1579 mature trees will have an impact on local drainage and soil property. Compensatory plantation of 17000 trees would require good maintainence to ensure a good survival rate. 190. Since compensatory plantation will be carried out in the new alignment the impact on terrestrial fauna and bird will be reduced. 191. Based on the above the impact on ecology has been accessed as Moderate. Mitigation Measures i. Permission for proposed Tree Cutting and transplantation needs to be ontained by the Divisional Forest Officer, Dhanbad. ii. Transplantation and compensatory planting will be undertaken as per guideline presented in Annexure VIII to ensure survival of trees. iii. A separate budget should be allocated for Maintaince of the saplings, young trees and transplanted trees to ensure a good survival rate. 138 iv. Apart from all transplanted trees, approximately 80 percent compensatory plantation is proposed along the expanded road of 19.9 Km road lenth (within the avenues of service lane and carriage lane).Theremaning 20 % shall be in the Dhanbad block at various schools and public areas. If required, additional compensatory afforestation will be undertaken as specified by the DFO incase survival rate of the young plants is low. This is to ensure that all vegetation (17000 trees)proposed for compensationis in place. v. Only local native species will be used for compensatory planting as per Annex VIII. These species are also specied as per the NHAI Green Highways Manual as species suitable for plantation in the RoW, and will not have any impacts on local biodiversity or on road safety. vi. All active construction sites will be barricaded effectively so that no terrestrial fauna will trespass, or be impacted by construction hazards, electrocution etc. vii. The footprint of the activities will be kept to the minimum to reduce disturbance to flora and fauna. 8.1.7 Impact on Air Quality 192. The potential sources of air pollution during the construction period include: ► Fugitive dust emissions from excavation work, digging and stacking of soils, filling, handling of construction material, transportation of material, movement of tyres, plying of heavy construction machinery, loading, unloading of trucksetc. ► Emissions from construction plants/machinery such as batching plant, hot mix plant, etc. ► Emissions from operation of diesel generators to meet power requirements. ► Vehicular traffic can generate great quantities of emissions including sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and, where lead fuel is in use, lead. However, the project is intended to relieve congestion and improve traffic flow, the impact may be a net local decrease in emissions generated. Impact Significance 193. Fugitive dust emissions: The fugitive emissions from construction material loading and unloading are likely to remain highly localised and confined to the sub-project area, but require adequate mitigation measures to prevent their spread outside the sub-project footprint. 194. The impact of emissions from vehicles bringing construction material will be minimised by proper upkeep of maintenance of PUC certify vehicles, sprinkling of water on unpaved roads at the construction site and planned movement of such vehicles provided with proper cover. 139 195. Emissions from DG sets: The emissions from diesel generators (meant for emergency power during construction) will be be controlled to minimise adverse impacts by using DG sets that comply with CPCB standards, by optimizing usage and depending moreon electricity supply for construction, by proper onsite orientation onsite and adequate stack height for wider dispersion of gaseous emissions. 196. The geographical extent of potential for impact on air quality without mitigations in place is expected to be local and the impact significance on air quality due to project activity has been assessed asmoderate. Mitigation Measures 197. The impacts on air quality will be minimized through mitigation measures to be included in the construction contract, requiring contractors to strictly implement them. The mitigation measures include the following: i. Asphalt mixing plants will be sited over 1000 m (refer CPCB/SPCB,) from any communities. Mixing equipment will be well sealed, and be equipped with a dust- removal device, and Operators will wear dust masks, ear protection and hard hats. ii. Suppression of fugitive dust emissions will be undertaken by spraying water, wetting of the stockpile, proper location of material stockpiles, especially sand and soil downwind from the habitations, or by providing wind breaks for stockpiles, covering of trucks with tarpaulin sheets during transportation of soil and material; iii. The emissions from diesel generators (meant for emergency power requirement) will be controlled to minimise impacts of air emissions by optimised operations, orientation at the site and providing stack height of 6 m (calculated as per stack height criteria of Central Pollution Control Board) from ground level for wider dispersion of gaseous emissions; iv. Proper maintenance of engines and use of vehicles with ‘Pollution Under Control’ Certificate will be ensured; v. Proper location of material stockpiles, especially sand and soil will be undertaken. All such construction loose material will be provided with temporary bunds and screens (or providing wind breaks) near schools and hospitals to prevent erosion and generation of fugitive dust. When not in use, all stockpiles of the loose construction material will be covered with tarpaulin sheets; vi. Suitable and adequate dust control system such as dry and wet scrubber for the dryer and mixer will be provided for hot mix plant vii. Adequate stack height (atleast 6 meter) for the discharge of its scrubbed flue gases 140 viii. Wind breaking wall will be provided at predominant wind direction ix. Vehicles and machinery will be maintained so that emissions conform to National Ambient air quality standards (2009). x. All vehicles and machineries should obtain Pollution Under Control Certificates xi. Water to be sprayed during the construction phase, at mixing sites, approach roads & temporary roadsto prevent dust generation. xii. Any slopes will be covered with turfing/ stone pitching immediately after completion xiii. All Construction plant and equipment will meet recognized nations standards for emissions and will be maintained and operated in a manner that ensures that relevant air, noise and discharge regulations are met. 8.1.8 Impact on Noise Environment 198. The potential sources of increase in ambient noise levels during the road development phase of the sub-project will mainly arise from the equipment, machinery and transportation used for the construction activities. The heavy equipment used for excavation will be the major sources of noise. There is expected to be a slight increase in traffic and thereby in traffic noise impacts to receptors near the existing tracks in and around the project site from the transportation of materials and workers. 199. Road development of works are expected to vary from 2-5 months at different sites and development activities will be limited to daytime only. Tentative noise generation from construction equipment and machinery has been presented in Table 33. Specific information about types, quantities, and operating schedules of the construction equipment was not available at the time of assessment, assumptions have made regarding the type, number and Sound Power Levels (SPLs) of construction equipment, based on similar projects and publicly available data. Table 48: Maximum Sound Power Levels of Major Additional Equipment and their Deployment S.No. Machineries Sound Level(dB) Operation time 1 Power Shovel 88 Daytime Operation Only 2 Rubber Tired Crane 84 Daytime Operation Only 3 Bulldozer ca 150 kW 114 Daytime Operation Only 4 Asphalt Road Roller 95 Daytime Operation Only 5 Light Duty Grader 89 Daytime Operation Only 6 Bulldozer ca 150 kW 114 Daytime Operation Only 7 Wheel Loader 94 Daytime Operation Only 8 Light Duty Bulldozer 96 Daytime Operation Only 9 Vibrating Road Roller 97 Daytime Operation Only 10 Heavy Duty Buldozer 99 Daytime Operation Only 12 Rubber Tired Crane 84 Daytime Operation Only 141 13 Grader 85 Daytime Operation Only 14 Concrete mixer truck 79 Daytime Operation Only Significance of Impact 200. Road development activities will be limited within 50mfrom the road development footprint, which will be developed. Road development of works are expected to vary from 2-5 months at different sites and will be limited to daytime only and the within the designated area. The impact significance due to construction activity on noise quality has been assessed to be moderate Mitigation Measures 201. The following mitigation measures will be implemented to minimise potential noise impacts during the road development phase in all periods: i. Hammering and vibration compaction will be minimized when near cultural properties, structures, buildings or property boundary where applicable, residential class mufflers and engine shrouds (acoustic lining) will be used on all equipment. ii. Only well-maintained equipment will be operated on-site iii. Regular maintenance of equipment such as lubricating moving parts, tightening loose parts and replacing worn out components will be conducted;Equipment noise will be maintained at 85 dB(A) at 1 m from the source in line with WB EHS guidelines. iv. Noise standard at processing sites, e.g. aggregate crushing plants, batching plant, hot mix plant will be strictly monitored to prevent exceeding of CPCB noise standards. Workers near strong noise will wear protectors and their working time will be limited as a safety measure. Construction sites within 150 m of sensitive receptors construction to be stopped from 22:00 to 06:00 v. Machinery and equipment that may be in intermittent use will be shut down or throttled down during non-work periods; vi. Low noise equipment will be used as far as practicable; vii. The number of equipment operating simultaneously will be reduced as far as practicable; viii. Equipment known to emit noise strongly in one direction will be orientated so that the noise is directed away from nearby NSRs as far as practicable; ix. DG sets if any used will be provided with acoustic enclosures; x. Minimal use of vehicle horns in the sub-project area will be encouraged; and 142 8.1.9 Socio Cultural Impacts The environmental and social surveys have identified all cultural properties; in total 9 Cultural Property Resources, will be affected due to the project activities. Out of 9 CPRs, 7 are temples and 2 are statues. (Four temples and two statues that are within the RoW, and will be fully impacted and would need relocation, three temples that will be partially affected by the road widening and would require modifications in the temple area to accommodate the road width. There are no graves, burial grounds, sacred treesin the ROW. In addition, these are all structures of local significance, and there is no tourism/pilgrimage activity associated with them. Significance of Impact 202. The impact significance due to construction activity on CPRs has been assessed to be moderate given that these are small structures of local importance that can be easily relocated with standard mitigation measures. Mitigation Measures i. All Temples will be relocated per the provisions in the RAP by RAP implmentation agency.Public consultation will be organized after completion of construction to access the people opinion/grievances from the the relocation activity conducted. ii. All mitigation measures and environmental monitoring has been included as part of the PCR plan in Annex XIII. Remedial measures to mitigate the impact due to project intervention will be incorporated in the operation phase. iii. A clause for ‘Chance finds’ would be added to the ESMP and subsequently the bidding documents for the works contract which explains the steps to follow whenever new archaeological remains, antiquity or any other object of cultural or archaeological importance are encountered during construction phase. 8.1.10 Occupational Health & Safety Risks for Workers 203. The workers and site personnel will be exposed to various physical, chemical hazards due to construction activities and handling of equipment such as hot work, electrical work, tree cutting, operation of JCB, hydra crane, working at height, electrical work etc. 204. All activities during construction of Road Number 11 causing air pollution and increasing noise levels have the potential to directly impact the construction workers and site personnel. 205. Various emergencies, such as fire, equipment overturn and natura l hazards such as earthquake and cyclones could occur during construction, endangering lives of the construction workers. 206. Working at night time presents a highened risk to worker health and safety aspects. Impact Significance 143 207. Duration of the impact will be short-term occurring only during the construction phase. Extent of the Impact will be local or national depending on origin of construction workers. Likelihood of the impact occurring is high considering the usually low level of safety at construction sites. Significance of this impact is therefore predicted to be major. Mitigation Measures 208. The contractor will follow the OHS plan in Annex VI, and emergency response plan in Annex VI with clear assignment of responsibilities which should among others address the following: ► Follow reccomendations for night time work in Annex VI Recommendations for night time work ► All workers will be provided with requisite personal protective equipment (see Table 49) ► ’No smoking’ signs will be placed in office, communal places construction camps as well as high-risk areas prone to fire hazards e.g. near fuel tanks. ► Adequate fire safety, fire exists and fire assembly points will be provided at the labour camp. ► Signage reminding use of PPE at appropriate locations will be provided in the project areas including ancillary work sites. ► Develop code of conduct for construction labour and staff. ► Sub-project supervising engineers, safety officer will inspect contractors ‘compliance with safety precautions during construction/project activities. ► Adequate illumination should be provided at site during evening and night time till the work is being carried out ► Rest area should be provided at site in which workers can rest after the lunch hours ► Workers should wear the personal protective equipment like helmet, gum boots, safety shoes, safety jackets, ear plugs, gloves etc. while working ► Noise level in the work zone should be maintained and followed as per OSHAS norms ► Contractors should adopt and maintain safe working practices.

During construction, approximately 20percent of the labour would be migrantlabour.(Refer Section 2.5.6 for labour requirement) Arriving migrant workers will require housing, food supply, merchandize, transport, health care, entertainment, social interaction, etc.If not managed appropriately this influx of workers can cause e lead to pressure on existing resources 210. All activities during construction causing air pollution and increasing noise levels have the potential to indirectly affect the health of the local community and pedetrians. 211. Delays in utility shifting can cause disturbance to the communities that depend on them. Impact Significance 212. The impact will be restricted to immediate vicinity of the project area and to the construction period.Thus, the impact can be classified as ‘Moderate’ Mitigation Measures 213. Mitigation measures are listed below: i. Necessary directives will be given to Contractor for hiring the local work force.However, in case of unavailability of required labor force and associated goods and services locally for the construction of civil works, because of a number of reasons such as worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity, the labor force (total or partial) may be brought in from outside the project area from nearby municipal towns and villages and sometimes from outside the state ii. Contractor to hire external/migrant workers through recruitment offices and avoid hiring “at the gate” to discourage spontaneous influx of job seekers. All labour will be registered and issued ID cards. iii. Labour camp will be set up and monitored as per the provisions in Annex IV. Responsibilities for managing these impacts will be reflected as a contractual obligation, with appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance. iv. Vaccinating and educating workers against common and locally prevalent diseases. v. Mandatory and regular training for workers on required code of conduct (JUIDCO will issue the directives to Contractor and Contractor will accordingly prepare code of conduct) 147 vi. Details of project, complaint handling mechanism and GRM will be displayed at prominent places such as ULB's office and Deputy Commissioner's office and project sites. vii. Access to labour camp sites will be restricted to only authorised persons with ID card. Caution boards, barricades, etc., will be used to warn the public about unauthorized access and danger. viii. Install lighting devices and safety signal devices in the temporary access areas and construction sites. ix. A transportation plan of materials will be prepared by the contractor, approved by the ULB, and implemented to avoid their delivery at peak traffic hours. x. Legible warning signs, barriers and signals shall be placed at strategic locations in sufficient number and spacing for allprominent access ways to the sites. Warning signs and otherprotective barriers shall be erected to prevent accidents tocitizens due to open ditches, heavy machinery and constructionvehicles etc. xi. No equipment/heavy machinery will be parked on the roadside at night, and will be taken to the necessary parking bay. xii. Security guards will be deployed at critical areas such as labour camps, all active hazardous construction sites, material and fuel storage areas at night time. In addition, the CSQC safety officer will conduct a risk assessment regarding the security arrangements prior to deploying of security guards and necessary risk control measures like additional security, barricading, illumination, will be implemented along the road alignment and construction sites and labour camps. 214. The construction of the proposed road may necessitate the re-routing of some vehicular and pedestrian traffic and introducing traffic delays thereby increasing in travel time. The contractor will follow all necessary arrangements for traffic safety in the OHS plan. 215. The utility shifting activity will be undertaken before the start of construction period byrespective agencies.as presented in.Table 50. If there is a delay in utility shifting, connecting households to new water supply lines, electric lines that may impact the service delivery communities will be notified, and the necessary mitigation actions will be put in place like supply of tanker water. The GRM and complaint handling mechanism will be made widely available to the public at the ULB office, and signboards on the project site. Table 50: Utility shifting agencies and timeline Sl. No. Utility Shifting Tentative Time Mititgation measures agencies Line for completion of activity 148 1 Water Supply DWSD Five months (new Old water supply line will pipeline will be laid not be and then connected disconnected until the to the distribution new line is operational system and all households before dismantling of old connected to the old pipeline) system are accounted for reconnection 2 Electrical Line JBVNL Five month(new line Electrical lines will as will be laid before far as possible not be dismantling of old disconnected in lines) summer months. Prior intimation should be given to affected persons 3 Telecommunication BSNL Five month(new line will be laid before dismantling of old lines) 8.1.12 Impacts on Community Structures Community Structures such as shelters, handpumps will be impacted during the road widening activities, and will be relocated outside the RoW . Impact Significance The impact is assessed to be minor, as these will be suitably reclocated and there will be no permanent loss in community sturtcures. Mitigation Measure i. Precautions will be taken during construction, for accidental loss/ damage of any communal property and the damage will be repaired immediately up to the satisfaction of community at Contractor’s own cost. ii. In addition, the contractor will consider the following enhancements for the benefit of the community  Solid waste management: waste collection bin at every bus bay/shelter  Provision of solar lights: Solar lighting can be considered at critical locations – bridges, bay shelters, crossings.  Soak pits for hand pumps: For handpumps that need to be relocated, the project can consider soak pit of 1.5m diameter and 1.0m deep made of brick masonry/concrete rings, filled with brick bats and pebbles. 149 8.1.13 Road Safety Construction work on the road in the absence of adequate mittigations and occupational health and safety precautions could, lead to unsafe conditions for workers and all road users, including vehicle drivers, pedestrians and cyclists Injuries and fatalities can arise when there is contact with construction vehicles and equipment. Workers operating construction equipment are most likely to be injured by collisions or overturning equipment. Issues can arise from constricted work sites, bad weather, low light/reduced visibility and vehicle congestion Impact Significance The impact is rated as moderate. Mitigation Measure To ensure adoption of good construction-related safety practices and appropriate traffic management practices to ensure road safety during the construction phase. i. For delivery of hazardous substances, three certificates issued by transportation department are required permit license, driving license and guarding license. ii. Compliance with “Rules” as defined in Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 iii. Vehicles delivering hazardous substances will be printed with standard signs. iv. Public security, transportation and fire fighting departments will designate a special route for these vehicles. v. These vehicles can only be parked at designated parking lots. vi. In case of spill of hazardous materials, relevant departments will be informed at once & dealt with it in accordance with ERP. vii. Follow guidelines in OHS plan to ensure safety in storage, handling, use and emergency response for hazardous substances. 8.2 Operation Phase Impacts 8.2.1 Impact on Land 216. No significant impact is predicted during the operation other than those resulting from neglected mitigation measures in disposing of spoiled materials, prevention, tree planting 150 along the road alignment. It is, therefore, necessary to undertake regular monitoring to ensure that all require mitigation measures are implemented. Impact Significance The significance of impact is assessed to be negligible. Mitigation Measure i. Borrow area redevelopment will be completed as per Annex III ii. All temporay haul roads for transportation of material etc. will be redeveloped to the satisfaction of the ULB iii. Accidental spills probability is quite low as one of the objectives of this project is to enhance road safety. iv. Affected productive area will be poured with top soil as per Top soil management guidelines 8.2.2 Impact on Air Quality 217. Air pollution will be necessarily prevailing during the operation life of the road due to vehicular emissions of particulates and fumes into air or atmosphere. However, the effect on air quality of the increased traffic flow is significant if no maintenance programme will be installed. As observed in Table 28, current ambient air quality levels are higher than CPCB prescribed norms in some of the locations near the proposed roads. 218. Particulate matter/ Dust raised by passing vehicles will be reduced due to increased/widened paved surface. 219. With the reduction in journey time, idle engine runningtime and air pollution will reduce. Impact Significance 220. The significance of impact without proper mitigation measures due to vehicular emission is assessed to be moderate. Mitigation Measures i. Enforce Pollution Under Control (PUC) Programs. The public will be informed about the regulations on air pollution of vehicles ii. ULB can consider using street sweeper/vacuum trucks iii. Avenue plantation to be maintained by ULB along the roadside will reduce dust dispersion. iv. All Major junctions have been proposed for l plantation and landscaping. v. Various national initiatives are being taken to reduce vehicle emissions. Fuel-related air pollution abatement measures include vehicle inspection programs, better fuel formulation, availability of unleaded and low sulphur fuels, and promotion/use of 151 alternate fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid natural gas (LNG), and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). These measures, if implemented as proposed, will reduce toxic and greenhouse gas emissions. vi. Training and measuring equipment need to be provided to traffic police to enable them to enforce to pollution norms 8.2.3 Impact on Ground and Surface Water Quality 221. Impact on ground water : The impact on trafficwhich might be expected to show through the presence of oil and grease, including lead—appears minor. Comparative measurements of water quality between bore wells adjacent to the existing road and away from the road in the new alignment suggest that traffic effects are minimal. 222. Impact on surface water : Drainage is an important part of road maintenance. Unless road drainage is maintained properly, drains and culverts can block, causing localized flooding and damage to the road itself. Impact Significance 223. Thesignificance of impact on ground and surface water quality without proper mitigation measures due to the project is assessed to be minor Mitigation Measure i. Provision of oil and grease traps with silt filters has been considered to further reduce the risk of contamination. ii. Regular monitoring and maintenance of drains in roads of NCB-01 and 2 will be a requirement under the Project as per the project O&M EHS povisons in Annex XVI. iii. Road side drains should be cleaned before the monsoon, and will be maintained to accommodate storm water flow iv. Solid waste dumping in the culvert areas will be prohibited. v. Accidental spills are potentially disastrous, but its probability is quite low as one of the objectives of this project is to enhance road safety vi. The public will be informed about the regulations on water pollution and local people will be discouraged from establishing workshops and car wash near public drinking water source. 8.2.4 Ambient Noise Quality 224. During operation, passing vehicles and trucks will generate noise. As observed in Table 30 current noise levels are higher than CPCB prescribed norms in the proposed roads. This is due to the current configuration of the roads which leads to traffic congestion and increase in noise level. 152 225. After the development of the proposed road, the noise and vibration impacts will be reduced due to improved road surface, less congestion and free movement of vehicles. In addition, since the vehicular density is expected to be relatively higher, the perceived traffic noise effects will likely be moderate. Impact Significance 226. The significance of impact on ambient noise quality without proper mitigation measures due to the project is assessed to be moderate Mitigation Measure i. At the operation phase, noise and vibration will be reduced through speed control by applying bumps - this is effective since the lowest sound emissions arise from vehicles moving smoothly at low speed. ii. Vibration will be mitigated by maintaining road surface. iii. Additionally, adequate avenue plantation across the proposed road will also act as a noise barrier and will reduce the noise impact to minor. iv. HORN PROHIBITED sign post will be enforced at sensitive receptors. v. In addition, the ULB and Road Construction Department should invest in long term plan of: a. Discouraging local people from establishing sensitive receptor near the road. b. The public will be informed about the regulations on noise pollution. c. Monitoring of noise pollution will be done by ULB/ RCD as per frequency and location mentioned under the ESMP 8.2.5 Impact on Road Safety 227. The main causes for accidents due to lack of maintenance, reckless driving, defective vehicles, drunkenness, poor road facilities for the pedestrians and cyclists, and, unqualified drivers. The improvement of the proposed road might lead to an increase in accidents due to increase in traffic volume and speed, unless precautionary measures are taken. The problem of road accidents will be more pronounced near residential areas and located in proximity to the road.It was observed that in many settlements along the sub-project road, people have the habit of crossing the road at different points.. 228. There is a risk of collision with cattlein the day time with road improvements for the same reason unless provision for cattle crossings are provided. Impact Significance 229. The significance of impact on road safety without proper mitigation measures due to the project is assessed to be moderate. 153 Mitigation Measure i. The ULB and RCD will follow the EHS provisions for O&M phase as indicated in Annex XVI. The road will be provided with adequate cat’s eyes, delineators, hazard markers, safety barriers at hazardous locations, pedestrian guardrails, high mast lighting, traffic signals at junction. ii. Foot over bridges will be provided near De- Nobili school at Ch Km 7.5; and another foot over bridge at Ch Km 9.3. The sidewalks have been proposed in the built-up sections, on both sides, by barrier type (nonmountable) kerb of height 200 mm above the adjacent road surface. iii. At-Grade Pedestrian Crossing (Pedestrian Crosswalk) at all important intersections and such other locations where substantial conflict exists between vehicular and pedestrian movements (like bus bays, schools and settlement areas etc.) will be provided. iv. Designated pedestrian crossings with good illumination and road safety barriers will provide for safe movement of people so that habit of crossing the road at different points will also be curtailed. v. Designated areas for cattle crossing been defined, with road signages to ensure there is no traffic collision, and Go Slow signages. vi. Service Roads are proposed on Road 11 to provide access to abutting properties and to ensure that the vehicles entering the project road from other village roads shall not enter directly on the main carriageway. This also takes care of the accident blackspot identified by DPR consultants during site investigations. 8.2.6 Induced impacts The level if risk with induced impacts with the road development is expected to be moderate. The city is expected to expand in the direction of road 11. It is likely that property value within proximity within Road 11 will appreciate, and agricultural land will slowly be convereted to residential areas. The improvement of Road 11 will overall improve acess into the city and consequently and commercial development to new residents will also follow. 154 9 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 9.1 Introduction 2. 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. 9.2 Findings of Social Impact Assessment 9.2.1 Scope of land acquisition and Social Impact The existing ROW of the projects road varies from 45 mtrs to 52 mtrs. The sub-project roads has such been designed that all the improvement activities will be carried out within the existing ROW and thus no land acquisition is involved in the sub-project. The existing ROW is encroached and thus to analyse the level of impacts on the structures and the livelihood of the families doing business within the existing ROW, a census survey of the affected families was conducted along with photography and videography of potential Project affected persons. Based on the census survey it is estimated that:  In total, 258 private structures will be affected due to the road improvement  All the affected families are non-titleholders i.e. either encroachers or squatter. About91 percent of the properties affected are under commercialuse.  About 83 percentof the affected structures are either temporary or semi- permanent structure.  In this project, 103 households will be physically displaced and 116 will be economically displaced. 9.2.2 Loss of Community Property Resources (CPR) 230. There are altogether 19 CPR in the NCB-01 and NCB -02 project area. The detail of number of community properties, which may face relocation, has been mentioned in table below: 155 Table 51: Loss of Community Property Resources Sl. No. Type of Properties Number 1 Religious Structures 07 2 Waiting Sheds 10 3 Statues 02 Total 19 Source: Census Survey, March, 2017 ► Loss of community infrastructure/common property resources will be compensated either by cash compensation at replacement cost or reconstruction of the community structure in consultation with the affected community. 9.4 Social Impact Mitigating measures 3. The Resettlement Policy framework has been formulated to lay down the principles and procedures for management of resettlement impacts caused by the JMDP project and entitlements matrix for the project affected eligible Persons. This Resettlement Policy framework shall apply to all sub-project roads under JMDP, including Dhanbad Road NCB-01 &02, whether partly or fully funded by World Bank during the entire period of loan assistance. Hence, this Resettlement Action Plan is prepared. The census survey date 02.03.2017 of potential PAPs will serve as the cut-off date for establishing eligibility for entitlements. The RAP will be implemented over a period of 24 months. 4. As a part of its disclosure requirement, this draft RAP shall be made available to the public in accordance with relevant provisions of the RTI Act. The draft RAP after approval of World Bank can be accessed at the website of JUIDCO www.juidco.jharkhand.gov.in as well as in the website of Dhanbad Municipal Corporation(www.dmcdhanbad.gov.in) for feedback and comments from stakeholders. The revised RAP shall be disclosed again after incorporation of comments, if any. R&R budget has been worked out for the sub-project based on impacts identified during the census survey. Since the subproject do not involve land acquisition, the R&R cost includes cost of structures and R&R assistance as per the entitlement matrix. Contingency provisions have also made to take into account any variations from estimated R&R cost. The total R&R Budget for NCB-01 and NCB-02 is Rs. 4.53 crore and Rs. 2.75 crore respectively. 156 9.3 Gender issues and Action Plan 5. 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 52: 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 The main gender issues in the project is 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 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 RAP implementing consultant/NGO would increase the awareness among the women regarding their rights and opportunities available from the project. The monitoring indicators shall include number of women employed and their wages through the contractors progress report and monthly status of the grievance disaggregated by gender (GRM). 157 Gender Action Plan Actions Indicators Responsibility Timeframe Output 2.

The Vishakha Guidelines are a set of procedural guidelines for use in India in cases of sexual harassment. They are promulgated by the HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_India" \o "Supreme Court of India" Indian Supreme Court in 1997 and was superseded in 2013 by ‘ HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sexual_Harassment_of_Women_at_Workplace_(Preventi on,_Prohibition_and_Redressal)_Act,_2013" \o "The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013" 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. 7. 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. 9.4 Labour Influx Management and Child Labour 8. 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, 159 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 absorb the incoming labor force, and specifically when civil works are carried out in, or near, vulnerable communities and in other high-risk situations. 9. For the construction of the road project, the expected required number of skilled labours and unskilled labours for NCB-1 are 61 and 298 respectively. About 20% (70 nos.) of skilled labours and unskilled labours may come from outside the Dhanbad city. The labour camp for 70 nos. of labour shall be expected, the remaining number of labours shall be employed from nearby villages/areas. Out of 61 nos. of skilled labours, it is expected that about 15- 20% shall get the rented accommodation by the contractor. 10. The expected required number of skilled labours and unskilled labours for NCB-II are 36 and 164 respectively. About 20% (40 nos.) of skilled labours and unskilled labours may come from outside the Dhanbad. The labour camp for 40 nos. of labour is expected, the remaining number of labours shall be employed from nearby villages/areas. It is expected that about 15% of skilled labours shall get the rented accommodation by the contractor. 11. Thus about, 20% labour/technicians will come 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 andsafety 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. 12. 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 160 trafficking etc and (ix) limited availability of affordable accommodation and rents within Municipal area. 13. 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. 14. 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 to build the capacity of JUIDCO, Supervision Consultants and Contractors in preparation and execution of this labour management Plan. 15. This Labor Management Plan would address specific activities that will be undertaken to minimize the impact on the local community, including elements such as  Communication and awareness plan on national labour and women harassment laws and its penal implications, leave provisions and other allowances for workers benefit,  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.  Training programs on HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases, etc.  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, hos tels, apartments etc.  Compliant handling Mechanism at the sub project level 16. 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. 161 162 10 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL M ANAGEMENT PLAN 231. This section describes the environmental and social measures to be implemented in NCB-01 & 02 packages to mitigate the impacts that are anticipated as a result of the project activities proposed at project site NCB-01 &02. These measures will be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of the project and enhance its positive impacts, by avoiding impacts where possible, and by reducing, remedying or compensating for impacts where they cannot be avoided. The Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the project represents a consolidated list of mitigation measures and aims to: ► Set out the arrangements that will be put in place by the project to manage the environmental and social performance of the project during construction phase ► Describe the monitoring programmes required to assess accuracy of predicted impacts and adequacy of mitigation strategies; and ► 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 ► Provides a framework for compliance auditing and inspection of the project that will give the regulators and external stakeholders the assurance that the project’s commitments to environmental and social mitigation and its aims with respect to environmental and social performance are being met. 232. The primary objectives will be to comply with: ► All applicable Indian legislation as identified in Chapter 3 ► World Bank Safeguard Policies, where these vary the most stringent standard will apply, as identified in Chapter 3 ► And local state level policies, as identified in Chapter 3 163 ► Ensure all E&S permits and clearences applicable to the project have been provided. 10.1 Institutional Arrangement for ESMP Implementation 233. The key institutional arrangements and capacity for the nimplementation of the ESMP, their roles and responsibilites are outlined in this section.

JUIDCO-PMU: JUIDCO is the primary implementing agency for the JMDP under which the Dhanbad-Road sub-project is being implemented. JUIDCO has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) for JMDP, which has a dedicated environment and spcial specialist. The JUIDCO-PMU will have ultimate responsibility and obligation to ensure for implementing the provisions of the ESMP. This role will include on-going identification and management of environmental impacts, monitoring social and environmental performance, ensuring availability of committed human resources and budget for ESMP implementation, periodic monitoring and reporting on ESMP performance. JUIDCO PMU will also carry out regular training on EHS aspects especially for construction stage, orientation and experience sharing programs to enhance the knowledge and capacity of the project staff. JUIDCO-PMU will coordinate with Project Implementing Unit (PIU) and Project Management Consultant (PMC) for effective monitoring of the ESMP. The JUIDCO PMU will draw support from safeguards specilists from the project management consultant’s team if needed. 235. The PMU will also put in place training programmesas per the ESMF for contractors staff on environment and social impacts in construction stage which include OHS management, 164 maintainence of labour camp code of conduct and hygene, use of PPE, HIV prevention, gender, and maintaining hazard free work spaces JUIDCO-PMU will coordinate with Project Implementing Unit (PIU) and Project Management Consultant (PMC) for effective monitoring of the ESMP. The JUIDCO PMU will draw support from safeguards specilists from the project management consultant’s team if needed. 236. JUIDCO-PIU: The PIU located at the ULB level, this will be established and have a dedicated environment and social specialist to supervise and monitor the contractor’s performance in implementing the ESMP. The PIU will assume direct responsibility for day- to-day project management, coordination and implementation of the sub project. The PIU will also supervise implementation of ESMP, and submit monthly progress reports to the PMU; and, will monitor the financial and physical progress of ESMP, adequacy of public consultation and compliant handling, and grievance redressal. It will also facilitate smooth coordination between the contractor, CSQC and the relevant government departments (ultilities, forest, traffic management etc.) for ESMP implementation.

The implementation of the EMP for NCB-01 & 02 will require a robust social and environmental, health and safety training plan which will ensure that the job specific training and EHS induction training needs are identified based on the specific requirements of EMP and capacity of site and project personnel (including the Contractors and Subcontractors of NCB-01 & 02) to undertake the required actions and monitoring activities. General environmental awareness will be increased among the project’s team to encourage the implementation of environmentally sound practices and compliance requirements of the project activities. This will help in minimising adverse environmental impacts, compliance with the applicable regulations and standards, and achieving performance beyond compliance. The same level of awareness and commitment will be imparted to the contractors and sub-contractors prior to the commencement of the project. The table below gives a brief overview of the capacity building and training plan.

Contractor staff/labour On-site awareness program at construction site and at labour camp Provided by JUIDCO PMU safeguards staff, supported by CSQC and CSQC, 10.3.6 Stakeholder Engagement 266. The Project will establish a Community Disclosure and Grievance Redressal (CDGR) system that will be form the crux of stakeholder engagement to be implemented during the execution of project. CDGR committee must be formed from various stakeholders to meet regularly with PAPs and attend to grievances. 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. 267. 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 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 aGrievance 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. 268. The Environmental and Social Specialists of JUIDCO-PMU will also need to coordinate with the various government agencies and ULBs to meet the EMP’s commitme nts to stakeholder engagement as follows: i. Interface between JUIDCO, contractors, sub-contractors, relevant government departments (forest, utilities, traffic police) and the local community ii. Disclosure of project specific information including the ESIA and ESMP on ULB website and District Library iii. Establish a mechanism to obtain, report and monitor all grievances from the local community iv. Regular engagement with gram panchayats and other local stakeholder groups identified in this report v. For better implementation of environmental management plan, grievance redressal mechanism has been proposed (as detailed in section 9.3). 10.3.7 Budget allocation for environment and social management plan 269. The indicative split up of capital and recurring cost for the ESMP for NCB-01 & 02 is presented in Table 58&Table 59 respectively. Mitigation measures proposed in the ESMP will be implemented by the Contractor and supervised by the CSQC consultant. The works to be undertaken by the contractor have been quantified and the quantities included in the respective BOQ items. The specifics of environmentalhealth and safety measures to be followed by the contractor have been included in the Annex II Borrow Area management, Annex IV Labour Camp Site management, Annex V Waste Manageemnt, Annex VI OHS Management in this document. 270.
