ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
1 INTRODUCTION
The Highway Department, Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) is undertaking road
development in the State with World Bank assistance loan. The State Highways of length of
about 1800 km has already been improved under Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project Phase I
(TNRSP I).
GoTN has now mooted to second phase of road improvement works, namely TNRSP- II. A
Strategic Options Study (SOS) on the State Core Road Network (SCRN) for selection of
candidate roads for improvement was carried out by Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project I, HD
in the year 2009-10 and the same was revalidated in 2011-12. State HD has prioritized
about 2000km of State Roads for various improvements works under EPC+5 years
maintenance/ Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract/ Bill of Quantity (BOQ) Contract
modes.
SMEC India Pvt. Ltd.-SMEC International Pty. Ltd., Australia (JV) has been appointed by
Highways Department, GoTN as PPC 05 DPR Consultant vide agreement signed on
18thOctober 2013 to undertake work of second phase, TNRSP II.
To define the Environmental Management requirements and to ensure environmental safe
guards during construction and operation, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has
been prepared for four laning of Tirunelveli - Tenkasi Road (SH39) Km 5/000 to Km 50/600
of length 45.6 km, (Refer Figure 2.1) considered under Phase-I roads.
As a first step an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared in accordance to the
World Bank requirements for Tirunelveli - Tenkasi Road (SH39), Km 5/000 to Km 50/600.
This document provides the Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) for the project
road comprising activity wise impacts and mitigation measures identified for each
environmental attribute like land, water, air, noise, biological environment and social
environment for the project road. A robust Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) system is in-built
into it for various phases of the project and activities. This is supported by annexure, which
provides (i) detailed guidelines to enable the Concessionaire to implement the EMAP in an
appropriate manner, (ii) monitoring formats for the Concessionaire to report to IE
(Independent Engineer) and (iii) checklists for the IE to monitor the implementation of EMAP.
The proposed four laning of project road will require land for widening and other provisions
such as bus bays, truck lay bye etc. The land plan schedule has been prepared. RAP
provides compensation and rehabilitation, for direct (private properties) social impacts, while
EMP provides other social impact mitigation and enhancement for direct (public properties)
and indirect impacts.
1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EA) PROCESS
The EA has been carried out for the project road implementation as mentioned above. The
project/road specific issues are addressed in the Environmental Assessment reports. This
document addresses the corridor-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the
45.6 km of Tirunelveli-Tenkasi Road (SH39), Km 5/000 to Km 50/600 included in the TNRSP
Phase-I improvement programme. EA and EMP report identifies the environmental impacts

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
in the earlier stages of project preparation to incorporate necessary mitigation measures
required to minimise those impacts as well as to enhance the positive factors. All
environmental management/ mitigation costs including environmental monitoring and
training budget have been included in the EMP Cost provided in Chapter 6.
The project’s Social Impact Assessment resulted in the preparation of a Resettlement Action
Plan (RAP) to address the land acquisition procedure and all associated social aspects such
as compensation, resettlement and relocation for the project road. Similarly, the
environmental studies has led to the preparation of project specific EMP.
This document assists the Concessionaire 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 EMP has been prepared to
meet the GOI requirements as specified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change (MoEF&CC) and meeting the requirements of the World Bank. Its purpose is to
present an evaluation of potential impacts due to the proposed widening of the existing
project road. 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.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
The objectives of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) are to
Define the environmental management principles and guidelines for the
preconstruction, construction and post construction phases of the road improvement;
Describe the practical mitigation measures that will be implemented on road
improvement works and ancillary sites (Quarry and borrow areas) to prevent or
mitigate any negative environmental impacts and to enhance the positive issues;
Establish the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the implementation of
environmental controls and;
Establish monitoring and reporting system for facilitating appropriate implementation
of EMP.
1.3 WORLD BANK REQUIREMENTS
The World Bank's environmental and social safeguard policies are a cornerstone of its
support to sustainable poverty reduction. The objective of these policies is to prevent and
mitigate undue harm to people and the environment in the development process. These
policies provide guidelines for the identification, preparation, and implementation of
programs and projects.
The World Bank has ten safeguard policies; the details and applicability of the safe guard
policies to the Project road are provided in the Table 1.1.

1.5 METHODOLOGY OF PREPARING EMP
Much of the environmental degradation that happens during the construction stage of a
highway can be prevented or controlled, if there is an appropriate system in place. Hence,
EMAP table has been specifically designed to capture all the impacts that take place during
the entire life cycle of a project from design to operation stage. Accordingly, a thorough
activity analysis was carried out listing all the project activities, based on which an impact
identification matrix was prepared to understand the impacts upon various environmental
attributes such as land, water, air, noise, flora and fauna. Lastly, socio-economic impact
upon people and solid waste generation were also considered as separate impacts.
Based on this exercise, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared
suggesting various mitigation measures to avoid or minimize the impacts of the project on
the environment during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases. Two sets of
guidelines were prepared and incorporated in the EMAP table of EMP report to enable the
Concessionaire to implement the project with least impact upon the environment– (i)
Guidelines for entire project stretch including the project facilities like camps and sites and
(ii) Guidelines exclusively for siting, management and restoration of project facilities like
camps and sites. Table 1.3 highlights the list of these guidelines:

5 Guidelines for Siting and Management of Debris Disposal Site
The guidelines for project facilities have been structured with following objectives:
i. It facilitates the selection of a site with least environmental impact,
ii. It looks into the satisfaction of the land owner in case of leased out / rental out lands,
iii. It guides the Concessionaire with step by step measures in setting up of an efficient
and environment friendly camp / site,
iv. It ensure smooth, safe and efficient functioning of these camps and sites
v. It guides the Concessionaire in preparing a camp / site management and restoration
plan to be submitted to IE (prior to setting up of the camp/site)
vi. It facilitates restoration of the site at the closure stage in a very environment friendly
manner.
EMP assigns the responsibilities for various actions identified to limit the adverse impacts of
the project. An environmental monitoring plan and an institutional framework have been
proposed in the EMP for proper implementation and monitoring of mitigation measures. The
cost for implementing the proposed environmental mitigation measures and carrying out the
environmental monitoring has been worked out and is presented in the EMP for necessary
budgetary allocations as part of the project cost. In order to implement various environmental
requirements during pre construction, construction and operational phases, all mitigation and
enhancement measures have been clearly built in to the Environmental Management Plan
(Figure.1-1) including cost.

SH No. Description of Road link Districts Length (Km)
SH-39 Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Tirunelveli 45.6
Km 5/000 to Km 50/600
The project road starts from Tirunelveli, Km 5/000 and ends at Tenkasi, Km 50/600. The
starting point of the road was revised from km 4/200 to km 5/000 to avoid impact on
congested stretch of Tirunelveli town. The road is passing through 20 revenue villages,
covering one district namely Tirunelveli. About 15.5 km stretch (34%) of the road traverses
through built-up area. The road traverses through plain terrain.
Presently the road is of 2 lane configuration with existing carriageway width of 7m. It is
proposed to widen it to 4 lane with paved shoulder configuration.
A bypass has been proposed by State Highway Department at the end point of the road
stretch from km 50/600 in Tenkasi on the LHS of road for which land acquisition is in
advanced stage. Hence, the end point is terminated at km 50/600 and the road length is
revised to 45.6 km.
The stretches of major built up areas along the project road are Alangulam (at km 28/600 to
km31/000 for a length of 2500m), Adaikalpattinam (at km 37/000 for length of 100m),
Pavoorchatram (at km.44/000 for length of 300m) and Ramchandrapuram (at km 47/000 for
length of 200m).
Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600 is an existing two-lane road
and proposed for four-lane up gradation with paved shoulders.
Existing Features: The existing road stretch has 46 minor and 1 major junction. There is no
truck lay bye, underpass, flyover and ROB/RUB. There is no major bridge, 7 nos. of minor
bridges and 70 nos. of culverts. There are 50 nos. of bus bays/bus shelters along the road.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
The project road falls within 10km radius of Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR).
The nearest distance to buffer area boundary of KMTR (5 km buffer area from eastern
boundary of KMTR) from project road is about 4 km from Pavoorchatram.
As per the circular of MoEF & CC dated 22nd December 2014, where roads
approaching/passing by National Parks/Core-Critical Tiger Reserve/Wildlife Sanctuary are
within a radius of 1 km thereof, or within the ESZ, whichever of the two is lesser, would be
treated on same basis/guidelines as are applicable to the Protected Areas category that it is
in proximity of. The project road does not fall under this condition. Thus, NOC is not required
from NBWL.
There is no reserved/ protected forest within RoW of project road.

2.4 PROPOSED PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
Study mandates the improvement of the project road to four lane with paved shoulder
configuration with other improvements to make the road a standard facility. Improvement
proposals formulated are based on the IRC guidelines and site specific requirements. The
proposed improvements are aimed at easing traffic congestion, reducing the road accidents
by improving physical characteristics of the road, which includes geometry, pavement
strength, drainage and enhancing the aesthetics. General philosophy followed in formulating
the improvement proposals are:
Limit the improvements within the land identified for the project.
Utilize the available Right of Way to the maximum extent possible so as to avoid
additional land acquisitions
Improve and introduce the project facilities
Improvement of road safety features
Accordingly, the following optimum levels of improvements are proposed:
Four lane with paved shoulder (28m PRoW in urban stretches and 35m in rural
stretches, except 25m in Alangulam and Pavoorchatram urban areas)
Widening of 5 nos. existing minor bridges and reconstruction (4L Bridge) of 2 nos.
existing minor bridges. Construction of one major bridge
One truck lay bye (Km 42+100), toll plaza (km 21+200), one ROB (km 44+169) and
one LUS (km 44+169)
Reconstruction of 2 nos. of pipe culverts to pipe culverts, 4 nos. of pipe culverts to
box culverts, and 34 nos. of cut stone culverts to box culverts. Widening and
retaining of 9 nos. of slab culverts and 19 nos. of pipe culverts. Construction of 4
additional box culverts
Service road of 5.5 m width is proposed on both sides for a length of 0.99 km in
Pavoorchatram
Proposal for 31 nos. of bus bays with shelters and 14 nos. of bus shelters

Proposal for traffic control devices and road safety features
Improvement of existing intersections. 1 nos. of major junctions and 46 nos. of minor
junctions
There is no proposal of bypass, however, at ten locations, major horizontal curve
improvements are proposed.
2.5 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
To provide better and qualitative planning options; consultations with specific objectives,
agenda were conducted in structured manner. For this purpose, much advance date and
venue of consultation were fixed in coordination with the PRIs representatives at village level
and Tehsildar, Forest officials (range official) etc. Structured Public Consultations (PC)
were conducted jointly by Technical, Social and Environment team members along the
project road at three locations (1) Palaypettai (2) Alangulam (3) Pavoorchatram.
The details of public consultations along with minutes, attendance sheets and photographs
are provided in Annexure 2.1.
The major issues/concerns and their adopted mitigation measures are as follows:
The start point was shifted from 4/200 km to 5/000 to avoid Tirunelveli town limits.
Impacts on CPRs, structures and water bodies- Relocation of CPRs as per RAP and
compensation as per the approved RAP / Entitlements matrix. Provision of retaining
wall for impacted ponds, reconstruction of damaged bund wall and provision of crash
barriers along pond for road safety.
Shop owner’s of Alangulam and Pavoorchatram demanded bypass for Alangulam
and Pavoorchatram
Curve improvement with realignment where required to reduce accidents.
2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT MEASURES ADOPTED IN THE PROJECT
Many environmental enhancement measures have been proposed viz. construction of soak
pit for hand pumps along the road to recharge water, recharge pits on both sides of roads in
rural areas, planting trees on both sides of the road at places where land is available,
plantation in realignment sections, landscaping of junctions etc., Apart from this, public
utilities such as construction of bus shelters at bus bays locations. The details of road
specific environmental enhancement measures are provided in Table 3-2.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN
Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) deals with the implementation procedure of
the guidelines and measures recommended to avoid, minimize and mitigate environmental
impacts of the project. It also includes management measures suggested for enhancement
of the environmental quality along the project corridor.
The institutional arrangement made under the project will look into the implementation of
project as well as EMAP as provided in this chapter. The various legal settings applicable to
the project are briefly stated in chapter 1.
The avoidance, mitigation and enhancement measures for protection of the environment
along the project corridor have been discussed in detail in Chapter 8 of EA report. Although
the social impacts, its mitigation and management are an essential component of the EMAP,
this chapter excludes it for the purpose of clarity and procedural requirements. Social
elements have been dealt in separate volume namely, Resettlement and Rehabilitation
Action Plan (RAP).
3.1 OBJECTIVE OF EMAP
The EMAP is a plan of action for mitigation / management / avoidance of the negative
impacts of the project and enhancement of the project corridor. For each measure to be
taken, its location, timeframe, implementation and overseeing / supervision responsibilities
have been incorporated.
3.2 COMPONENTS OF EMAP
The components of the EMAP have been detailed in Table 3-1 which explains the
environmental issues and the avoidance/ mitigation/ minimization or enhancement measures
adopted and/or to be adopted during different phases of the project. It also provides the
references for the suggested measures, responsible agency for its implementation/
management as well as its timeframe.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS
5.1 MONITORING AND REPORTING OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
MEASURES
A robust monitoring and reporting system is mandatory to ensure compliance to EMAP by
the Concessionaire. The monitoring and reporting system evolved for TNRSP-II is shown in
Table 5.1 and is integrated into EMAP table and its annexure. It comprises following three
parts:
A. Monitoring and reporting of environmental management measures for project related
facilities like construction camp, labor camp, quarry area, borrow area and debris
disposal site
B. Monitoring and reporting of environmental management measures for overall project,
and
C. Monitoring and reporting of quality of environmental attributes like air, water and
noise.
This monitoring and reporting system attempts to pre-empt much of the environmental
issues created during construction and post construction stages and provides the necessary
feedback for IE / PMU to make sure that EMAP is implemented in full spirit. Instead of a
linear reporting system, this system works on a two way basis – initial reporting by
Concessionaire followed by monitoring by IE based on Concessionaire’s reports.
Responsibilities for monitoring will rest with the Environmental Officer of the Supervising
Consultant reporting to the PMU and EMU at TNRSP.
The detailed procedure of reporting and monitoring system is as follows:
(A) Monitoring and Reporting of Environmental Management Measures for Project
Related Facilities
Sage I – Site Identification: While initiating the project, the Concessionaire needs to
identify suitable sites for project related ancillary facilities like construction camp, labor camp,
quarry and stone crusher units, borrow area, debris disposal sites and sources of water for
construction. The same will be undertaken adhering to the criteria given in the respective
guidelines for each of these sites given in Annexure 3.1 to 3.5. Once the site is identified by
the Concessionaire, s/he will prepare a site identification report furnishing all the details
pertaining to the identified site using the reporting format given in Annexure 3.12 to 3.17
and submit it to the IE. Subsequently, the EO of IE will visit to each site and approve / reject
the site with reasons. The EO of IE will give a copy of this format to the Concessionaire after
his approval / rejection with remarks. This reporting procedure needs to be undertaken for
each and every parcel of land identified for any of the project related ancillary facility.

Stage II – Setting up of Sites: On approval of a site, the Concessionaire has to prepare the
Management and Redevelopment Plan for this site as per the relevant guidelines given in
Annexure 3.1 to 3.5 of EMP and submit to IE for approval. In addition to the Management
and Redevelopment Plans for sites, the Concessionaire has to prepare Comprehensive
Waste Management Plan, Occupational Health and Safety Management Plan, Traffic
Management Plan and Hazardous Substances Management Plan for all sites together, as
per the guidelines given in EMP Annexure 3.6, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 respectively.
Subsequently, the EO of IE needs to visit each site and approve the Management Plan. The
EO of IE has to give a copy of this management plan to the Concessionaire after his
approval with remarks / suggestions for additional mitigation measures. Any kind of activity
could be initiated in a site only after getting approval from IE for the Management and
Redevelopment Plan for that site. These plans need to be prepared for each and every
parcel of land identified as described above.
Stage III – Operation of Sites: Once the Concessionaire receives approval for the
Management and Redevelopment Plan, S/he will initiate activities on the site. All the
activities will be undertaken strictly in line with the said plan. IE shall monitor the
implementation of management plan monthly once, through site visits and the checklists for
monitoring the environmental management of sites / camps given in Annexure 3.20 to 3.24.

ANNEXURE 3.1: GUIDELINES FOR SITING, MANAGEMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION CAMPS
A. OVERVIEW
Construction camp accommodates a mix of activities, which are highly polluting in nature causing
considerable environmental impact and its proper siting, management and redevelopment is crucial
to avoid, minimize and mitigate those impacts. The EMAP clearly distinguishes between various
impacts that may occur at various stages of the camp like (i) siting, (ii) setting up, (iii) operation and
(iv) closure / redevelopment and provide respective mitigation measures to some extent. In addition
to that, this guideline has been prepared to provide the Concessionaire with comprehensive and
systematic information on various steps to be undertaken during these four stages, so that s/he can
execute his/her role in an environmentally sound manner. Various mitigation measures have been
synthesized into this guideline so that it serves as a single and standalone document for the
Concessionaire.
B. CRITERIA FOR SITING THE CAMP
To the extent, possible barren land or wastelands shall be preferred during site selection and fertile
land and agricultural land shall be avoided. All such sites must be above the HFL with adequate
drainage facility. In areas prone to floods, cyclones, cloudbursts or heavy rainfall, selection of the
site should be made keeping in mind the safety of the camp and the workers. In addition, the
Concessionaire should take care of the following criteria for locating the site:
A minimum of 250 m away from any major settlement or village in downwind direction.
A minimum of 200 m of any major surface water course or body1
Not within 500 m from ecologically sensitive areas like wild life sanctuary, mangroves etc.

typically involve a combination of behavioral and environmental modifications.
Recommended interventions at the project level include:
Providing surveillance and active screening and treatment of workers
Preventing illness among workers in local communities by:
o Undertaking health awareness and education initiatives, for example, by
implementing an information strategy to reinforce person-to-person counseling
addressing systemic factors that can influence individual behavior as well as
promoting individual protection, and protecting others from infection, by
encouraging condom use
o Training health workers in disease treatment
o Conducting immunization programs for workers in local communities to improve
health and guard against infection
o Providing health services
Providing treatment through standard case management in on-site or community health
care facilities. Ensuring ready access to medical treatment, confidentiality and appropriate

ANNEXURE 3.3: GUIDELINES FOR SITING, MANAGEMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT OF QUARRYING AND STONE CRUSHING
OPERATIONS
A. OVERVIEW
A quarry is a type of open-pit mine from which rock or minerals are extracted for building
materials, such as dimension stone, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, and gravel. Quarrying
causes lot of environmental damages like air and noise pollution, water logging etc. and requires
permission from regulatory authorities like mining department. It requires a careful approach in the
site selection process, scientific method of quarrying and appropriate measures to redevelop it.
B. CRITERIA FOR LOCATING THE SITE/S
The selection of a quarry is sole responsibility of the Concessionaire and should be undertaken in
adherence to the rules & regulations of the authorities. Following criteria should be followed while
selecting a quarry site:
To the extent possible barren land or waste lands shall be preferred during site selection
and fertile land and agricultural land shall be avoided.
There shall be no quarrying of sand in any river bed or adjoining area or any other area
which is located within 500 meters radial distance from the location of any bridge, water
supply system, infiltration well or pumping installation of any of the local bodies or
Central or State Government Department or any area identified for locating water supply
schemes by any of the Government Department or other bodies.
Quarry site shall be located at a minimum distance of: 500 m from any human
settlements, public road, railway line, national highway, state highway or major district road.
Stone quarry shall be located at a minimum distance of 50 m from any water body.
Locate the quarry and crusher at a min. distance of 500 m. away from forests / wildlife habitats
/ mangroves / ecologically sensitive areas.
The minimum distance between two stone crushers should be 1 km to avoid dust pollution
influence of one over the other.
Stone crushing unit should be distanced for 500 m from the NH or SH or residential area or
places of public and religious interests.
Access roads to quarry sites must be wide enough for heavy vehicle movement without
inconvenience to local traffic.
After identification of the site, Concessionaire should fill up the prescribed reporting format and submit
the same for approval to the IE without which any activity shouldn’t be started on the site.
C. FINALIZATION OF SELECTED SITE/S
After identification of the site, the Concessionaire should fill up the prescribed reporting format
provided in EMAP and submit the same for approval to the IE. The selected site/s shall be approved
by Environmental Officer of IE, after considering the compliance with the EMP clauses. No
agreements or payments shall be made to the land owner/s (in case of a leased or rented out land)
prior to receipt of a written approval from the IE. Any consequence of rejection prior to the
approval shall be the responsibility of the Concessionaire and shall be made good at his own cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
After obtaining a written approval from the IE for the selected site, the Concessionaire has to enter
into an agreement with the land owner to obtain his/her consent before commencing any operation /
activities in the land. The agreement should also mention its type, duration, amount and mode of
payment as well as the preferences of the owner regarding site maintenance and redevelopment.
D. SETTING UP OF QUARRYING AND STONE CRUSHER
Quarrying involves not only extraction of material (rock) but also crushing and screening that makes
the rock suitable for use as construction material. Following are the major parameters to be
considered before the start of quarrying and stone crushing operations:
Site preparation: The stripping, stacking and preservation of top soil will be mandatory and
absolutely no activity should be allowed prior to the satisfactory completion of this conservation
measure as per guidelines in EMAP. The boundary of the quarry should be demarcated using
barbed wire fencing in order to avoid the future dispute over land as well as to avoid accidental
trespassing of people. There should be recorded documents of exact no of trees cut. Green belt
should be provided all along the quarry site to function as both noise attenuators and dust
collectors and number of trees planted should not be less than three times the number of trees cut.
Contour trenches should be dug along the borrow area boundary and at any other appropriate places
considering the topography to reduce the surface run off and conserve soil and water. Side slopes
shall be constructed with slope drains at applicable locations, to provide drainage and avoid any
lands lides. All the drainage constructed should be linked to existing drainages in order to avoid
flooding and water logging.
Setting up of a quarry site: The layout of a quarry should provide a gravity flow of material from the
face to the crusher, from the crusher to the storage bin and from the bin to the hauling equipment.
Adequate arrangements should be made for avoiding fugitive emissions from quarry and crusher
premises. This will include (i) housing the noise and dust producing units of the crusher unit in
a building with wall of minimum 23 cm thickness and with suitable roofing, (ii) control of air
pollution through provision of in-built dust extraction systems in the crusher unit and all transfer
points, (iii) a chimney of appropriate height for the DG set (as specified by SPCB), (iv) water
sprinkling facilities for the camp premises, (v) facilities to store water required for 3 days use.
Consent to operate the crusher unit should be obtained from SPCB under Air (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 before starting the operation.
Safety aspects: Blasting timings in quarry should be fixed avoiding the rush hours and these
timings should be adhered to in order to avoid the conflict between the surrounding communities
or population. Provide warning sirens 10 before each explosion as a warning alarm to people in
and outside the quarry. Damaged explosives must be disposed off in a safe manner away
from the operational area. Speed of the vehicles around the quarry should be restricted to a low
speed in order to reduce the noise pollution and dust generation. Workers should not be exposed to
sound of more than 85 – 90 DB for more than eight hours a day and shall be provided with
adequate safety wears and personal protective equipments like ear muffs / plugs etc. as detailed
out in EMP. Fire extinguishers should be provided in the site office.
Traffic movements should be restricted along the access road around times that children walk to and
from school. Proper first aid facilities should be provided within the site office and in case of
an accident, quick access to nearby hospital /clinic should be provided.
Facilities for workers: Potable drinking water should be provided in the site office in a hygienic
environment sufficient for all the people. Adequate no. of toilets shall be provided for the workers with
adequate water supply, proper drainage and effluent treatment system like septic tank with soak pit.

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
Soak pit should have a sealed bottom, honey comb wall and 75 cm. thick, 2mm sand envelope
around that. The sewage system for the camp must be properly sited, designed, built and operated
so that no health hazard occurs and no pollution to the air, ground or adjacent watercourses takes
place.
Waste Disposal: The Concessionaire should provide separate garbage bins for biodegradable,
non- biodegradable and hazardous wastes in the camps and ensure that these are regularly
emptied and disposed off in a hygienic manner. No incineration or burning of wastes shall be carried
out by the Concessionaire. The disposal of any biodegradable matter shall be carried out in pits
covered with a layer of earth within the camp site. Discarded plastic bags, paper and paper products,
bottles, packaging material, gunny bags, hessian, metal containers, strips and scraps of metal, PVC
pipe scrubber and poly urethane foam, auto mobile spares, tubes, tires, belts, filters, waste oil,
drums and other such materials shall be either reused or sold /given out for recycling. POL
(petroleum, oil and lubricants) waste shall be disposed off by transfer only to recycler/ re-refiners
possessing valid authorization from the State Pollution Control Board and valid registration from the
Central Pollution Control Board. Used lead batteries, if any, should be disposed as per the Batteries
(Management and Handling) Rules 2001.
Quarry areas should be protected from illegal dumping of waste by third parties. The overburden
should be kept as minimum to maximize the commercial efficiency of the quarry, it can be utilized for
creating earth bunds to mitigate the noise and visual impacts and also for the site rehabilitation
process. No quarry waste shall be dumped within a 100 m on either side of the road. The
overburden should be reused or disposed properly. Site for overburden disposal should be planned
within the quarry site or any other appropriate site.
Training to workers: Workers shall be trained in smooth and safe operation of plants and
equipments, their regular maintenance and various safety measures to be followed as well as about
the need and importance for adherence to these measures. All the drivers should be trained about
safe driving and should be made aware about the need to observe caution while plying through
access roads, especially during the time when children walk to and from school. Conduct education
programs with the locals regarding the potential impacts of blasting, blasting warning systems,
schedules etc.
Information dissemination: There should be a sign board of size 6’ x 4’ mentioning the project
details and Concessionaire’s details to disseminate the information to the public. There should be a
second sign board displaying the latest air and noise monitoring date and data against the
standards specified. Warning sign boards should be set up at the entrance gate for the public as
well as at other required places for the workers to alert them about the nature of operation being
undertaken.
Other mitigation measures: The quarry should not damage any building, work, property or rights of
other persons. The quarry should not alter any right of way, well or tank. Roads inside the crusher
premises should be tarred or concreted. Water course, if any, from a higher slope should be properly
drained out. Strom water drainage shall be provided to prevent water logging and flooding in and
around the area. The possibility of collecting the storm water in a pit or a tank should be explored so
that it can be reused for dust suppression and the dependence on other water sources could be
reduced. If this is not possible, the water should be safely channeled out of the quarry without
disturbing any nearby human settlement. A register should be provided in the camp site for public to
record their grievances if any. Environmental monitoring should be conducted as per suggested
frequency.
The concerned authority – IE/ PIU should regularly review the environmental, health and safety

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
aspects. If any adverse effect on environment, habitat and concern of safety is noticed, appropriate
measures should be taken as suggested by IE or should arrange an alternative for road construction
materials. In the case of existing quarries and additional quarries, the Concessionaire has to ensure
that all actions in these quarries are in compliance with EMP.
E. OPERATION OF QUARRY SITE AND STONE CRUSHING UNIT
No quarrying operation shall be done without the approval from the concerned authority. The
equipment used in quarry should be wear faced, which extends the equipment life and reduce
the demand for spare parts. Adopt controlled blasting techniques and conduct quarrying in a skillful,
scientific and systematic manner. All units should operate only between 6 am and 10 pm. or as
specified by SPCB in the consent letter.
Accessory facilities to be provided in the quarry includes sprinklers to spray water for dousing the
dust generation, noise suppressers and rubberized mounting to reduce noise and vibration and
tarpaulins or covers over material transporting vehicles. Provide sufficient water storage facility for 2
days’ use. Measures have to be taken to reduce the dust generation during drilling operation.
Deep wetting of drilling zones also to be done by water sprinkling and drilling machine shall be fitted
with dust suppression, collection and disposal arrangements. In case of blasting, the storage and
the operation should be as per the regulations. To avoid spillage of fuel and lubricants, the vehicles
and equipment should be properly maintained and repaired. Maintenance should be carried out on
impervious platforms with spill collection provisions.
Following conditions regarding sound generation should be complied with in a quarry / crusher unit:
The sound level (Leq) measured at a distance of 1 m from the boundary of the site shall not
exceed 55 dB(A) during day time (6am - 6pm) and 45 dB(A) during night time (6 pm - 6am).
The DG set shall be provided with exhaust muffler /acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment with
an insertion loss of minimum 25 dB(A) and its emission levels should be within relevant SPCB
guidelines.
A proper, routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set shall be set and
followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer.
F. PREPARATION OF QUARRY MANAGEMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

pond or a rainwater harvesting structure.
Pits created as a result of blasting could be filled with over burden which are removed and
stockpiled in other areas or with construction debris. Top soil should be spread back and
trees should be planted along the boundary.
Tree plantation where ever possible depending on the proposed use, erosion control measures
etc. should be taken up as part of the redevelopment plan.
The Concessionaire should clear all temporary structures; dispose all debris, garbage, night soils
and any other waste as per the approved debris management plan. All disposal pits or trenches
should be filled in, disinfected and effectively sealed off. Residual topsoil, if any will be distributed or
spread evenly in plantation sites, on adjoining/near-by barren land or affected agricultural land
adjacent to the RoW that has been impacted on account of any accidental spillage. Entire camp area
should be left clean and tidy, in a manner keeping the adjacent lands neat and clear, at the
Concessionaire’s expense, to the entire satisfaction of land owner and the IE.
These activities should be completed by the Concessionaire prior to demobilization. Once the
Concessionaire finishes his job, he needs to obtain a certificate from the owner, stating that the site
has been re- developed to his/her satisfaction and in tune with the agreement. Then following
documents needs to be submitted to the IE by the Concessionaire:
Copy of approved site identification report
Photographs of the concerned site ‘before’ and ‘after’ setting up the camp.
Certificate from the owner stating his/her satisfaction about status of re-development of the
site, this is applicable only in the case of a site to be returned to the owner.

ANNEXURE 3.4: GUIDELINES FOR SITING, MANAGEMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT OF BORROW AREAS
A. BORROW AREA SELECTION
A borrow describes an area where material (usually soil or sand) has been dug for use at
another location, for example, soil might be excavated to fill an embankment for a highway. In some
cases, the borrow pits may become filled with ground water posing a danger to the surrounding
community. If properly redeveloped, it can be turned into recreational areas or sustainable wildlife
habitats. In other cases, borrow pits may be used for landfill and waste disposal also.
B. CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION
The Concessionaire in addition to the established practices, rules and regulation shall also use the
following criteria before finalizing the locations of borrow areas:
The borrow area should not be located in agriculture areas especially in paddy fields unless
unavoidable i.e. barren land is not available. In case borrowing needs to be done on an
agricultural land, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation is a must.
Borrow pits shall not be located within a distance of 100 m from any NH, SH or other roads.
Site shall be located 30m away from toe of the embankment along road side.
Site should be located not less than 30m from the toe of the bank along the river side or
irrigation tank bund.
Borrow area shall be located at a minimum distance of 30m from the toe of the irrigation tank
bund.
Borrow site shall be located at a minimum distance of 500 m in down-wind direction of villages
and settlements.
No borrow pits shall be located within 250 m. from schools, colleges, playgrounds, religious
structures and health centers.
No borrow area shall be opened within 500 m. from a reserved or protected forest area/sites,
wildlife movement zone and cultural heritage site.
Loss of vegetation shall be almost nil or minimum.
Borrow area near any surface water body will be at least 100mts. away from the toe of the
bank or high flood level, whichever is maximum. After identification of borrow area location/s,
the Concessionaire will fill the prescribed reporting format and submit the same for approval
to the “Site Engineer” at least 7 working days before commencement of earth works. A written
approval from SC shall be necessary before any activity/work is commenced.
Borrow pit location shall be located at least 0.8 km from villages and settlements. If
unavoidable, they should not be dug for more than 30 cm and should be drained.
C. FINALIZATION OF THE SELECTED AREA
After identification of the site, the Concessionaire should fill up the prescribed reporting format
provided in EMAP and submit the same for approval to the IE. The selected site/s shall be
approved by Environmental Officer of IE, after considering the compliance with the EMP clauses. No
agreements or payments shall be made to the land owner/s (in case of a leased or rented out land)

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
prior to receipt of a written approval from the IE. Any consequence of rejection prior to the approval
shall be the responsibility of the Concessionaire and shall be made good at his own cost. After
obtaining a written approval from the IE for the selected site, the Concessionaire has to enter into an
agreement with the land owner to obtain his/her consent before commencing any operation /
activities in the land. The agreement should also mention its type, duration, amount and mode of
payment as well as the preferences of the owner regarding site maintenance and redevelopment.
D. BORROW AREA MANAGEMENT
Before the start of operations, the area to be borrowed shall be marked by the Concessionaire
with wooden or stone pegs to ensure that the land required for slope stabilization or bund
creation is maintained. Supervision Consultant has to ensure that this marking is done on the
ground to avoid issues at a later date. Any disregard of this condition shall be made good at
the Concessionaire’s and/or consultant’s own expense.
After receiving the approval, the Concessionaire will begin operations keeping in mind the
following points.
Top soil conservation is to be undertaken only if its reuse is envisaged for the proposed
activity in the borrow area rehabilitation. Top soil that cannot be re-used in rehabilitation of
borrow areas shall be used in the plantation belt/zone along the road.
Damage to productive and fertile areas has to be minimum. This includes appropriate
planning of haul roads.
No excavated acceptable material other than surplus to requirements of the Contract shall be
removed from the site. Concessionaire should be permitted to remove acceptable material
form the site to suit his operational procedure, and then be shall make good any consequent
deficit of material arising there from.
Where the excavation reveals a combination of acceptable and un-acceptable materials, the
Concessionaire shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer, carryout the excavation in
such a manner that the acceptable materials are excavated separately for use in the
permanent works without contamination by the un-acceptable materials. The acceptable
material shall be stockpiled separately.
The Concessionaire shall ensure that he does not adversely affect the stability of excavation
or fills by the methods of stockpiling materials, use of plants or siting of temporary buildings or
structures.
The following principles shall be adhered to during borrow area operations:
A 15 cm topsoil layer will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be preserved in
stockpiles in a designated area with a height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper
than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal).
Borrowing of earth will be allowed up to a depth of 1.5 mtr from the existing ground level only.
Ridges of not less than 8m width will be left at intervals not exceeding 300m.Small drains will
be cut through the ridges, if necessary, to facilitate drainage.
The slope of the edges will be maintained not steeper than 1:4 (vertical: Horizontal).
Rehabilitation shall be satisfactorily undertaken immediately after the use has ceased and at
least three weeks prior to monsoon.
If the rehabilitation plan envisages re-use of top soil, then preserved top soil has to be spread
uniformly over the land used as a borrow area.

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
No work front should be ‘touched’ without putting appropriate safety measures in place. SC will
be responsible to ensure that the permission for any activity is not given without the required
safety plan and practices in place.
Put signage at appropriate locations as per the road construction activity plan to warn the road
users, construction vehicles/equipment operators, pedestrians and local residents about the work
in progress, speed controls, hindrances/ blockages, diversions, depressions etc. in lines with
contract requirements and IRC guidelines.
Express a regret signage for the inconvenience caused and alert about the dangers ahead on
account of construction activity.
Signage has to be: (i) simple, easy-to-understand and should convey only one message at a time;
(ii) has florescent and reflective properties of the paints; iii) broad, prominent and with appropriate
size of letters and figures; (iv) placed at the appropriate ‘point/s’ as specified in the IRC guidelines
to allow proper stoppage/reaction time to approaching vehicles.
Different sign boards shall have a mix of pictorial signs and messages in local language, Hindi
and English.
While using barricades, ensure that traffic is kept away from work areas and the road user is
guided to the safe, alternative movement track.
Ensure that excavation sites are provided with effective barriers and reflecting signage to prevent
any accidental approach by vehicles during the day or night.
Prevent entry of cattle and wildlife through proper fencing/barricading around the excavation sites.
Provide proper uniform (light reflecting garments) to flagmen engaged in traffic control at
diversions so that they can be singled out from the moving traffic.
Provide wide red and green flags or red and green lights to flagmen for controlling traffic.
In high traffic zones and congested areas, use of wireless communication devices with protective
headgear and shoes by flagmen has to be ensured to prevent confusion and minimize the risk of
accidents.
E. SAFETY DURING EXCAVATION
The risk of accidents involving people and vehicles remains high in excavated sites. All pits or
excavations shall to be barricaded to warn the road users and residents and to avoid any
unauthorized entry of persons, children, domestic cattle or wildlife. For deep excavations and
culvert construction sites, painted GI sheets, delineators, lamps (as required) and retro-reflective
signage shall be used.
For excavation in soft loose & slushy soil (above 2.00 m depth where sliding of earth or collapsing
of sides may occur)
Excavation more than 1.5 m. is to be done in steps of minimum 500 mm offsets with plank and
stuttering support, as required under contract clauses.
For excavation in slippery or water logged area (labor or machinery may slip or get caught in
slush)
Try to dewater the area and spread minimum 150 mm thick sand layer to avoid slipping.

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
For excavation in rock where chiseling is involved (and hammer or stone pieces may fall and
injure the hand, eyes or legs).
Only experienced and skilled labor should be employed. Chisel should be held with a tight fitting
grip. Goggles and leg cover should be provided to protect the labor.
Excavation in rock where blasting is involved (risk of injury to workers and passer-by)
Blasting is to be carried out where absolutely necessary following all explosive handling
regulations with mines safety principles including use of hooters, signage, protective gear, safety
fuse, detonators, ignition coils and wires, exploder dynamo etc. The danger zone has to be
vacated at least 20 minutes before the actual firing. Sufficient warning through positioning of red
flags, dander signs, painted drums and sirens for safety of men at work and for any passer-by is
to be provided. After a lapse of minimum 15 minutes when a clear signal is given by the site-in-
charge through use of whistle or horn or light, the blasting charge should be ignited. After blasting
a minimum of 30 minutes gap is to be given for the rocks and earth or blocks of loose boulders to
fall off so that safety and security of the staff at the operation zone is ensured. Heavy charges
shall not be used in fragile rock systems, where rock disintegrating machinery could be brought to
use.
The entire operation shall be conducted under the strict supervision of qualified staff and in the
presence of safety officers.
For excavation for drain or manhole (risk of a passer-by falling into the excavated portion).
The area should be properly barricaded with sign boards and illumination/lamps for night time
safety. In congested stretches, watchmen/guards can also be placed for vigil.
Snake bites or Scorpion Stings during excavation
In areas with vegetation, tall grasses and forest cover, the Concessionaire shall provide the labor
with gum boots and gloves. He shall also make snake antidotes available on site. Emergency
vehicles should also be kept ready to rush the patient to the nearest hospital.
F. SAFETY DURING SOME TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION WORK
Centering and scaffolding (risk of framework collapse while construction, concreting or just before
concreting especially when wooden ballies are used).
Many a times ballies joined together give away due to weak joints. Use of metal scaffolding and
centering plates with metal fasteners are the safest and highly recommended materials for use in all
road construction works for ensuring safety, stability and casting of structures. All such scaffolding
should be placed on a firm and a level base on the ground for ensuring stability. No wooden
scaffolding or bamboo scaffolding is to be used for any casting of heavy (RCC) structural
construction as the risk to safety of workers is higher.
Railings are to be provided along working platforms and ladders for better safety. Nets shall be hung
below the scaffolding or structures where work is on-going to prevent fall of debris, stones,
bricks, equipments and other heavy objects and even workmen, which could be fatal.
Form-work for small/light beams and slabs
The collapse of bottom of the beam that may bring down the slab as well is a risk in such operations,
which may injure the labor or supervision staff. Slender ballies without bracing are not be allowed for
such works. No concreting should be allowed without bracing at 300 mm above ground and at mid-
DPR VOLUME VII: PART A (II) P a g e | 67
Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
way for normal beams and slabs. The bracings should be for the support of beams as well as the
slabs. Direct ballies support from the ground and the practice of tying planks with binding wire to the
steel reinforcement shall not be allowed. A temporary railing and properly based working platforms
along the periphery of slab reduces risk to the life of labor and supervision staff.
Dismantling of Scaffoldings
Dismantled materials may fall on passer-by and workers. Workers could also get injured during the
removal of such materials. Prior to dismantling of scaffoldings/working platforms, the area of operation
should be closed for all outsiders. No one should be allowed within 50 m from the place of demolition.
Helmets, safety belts and other PPE must be worn by all the workers engaged in such a work. This
work requires careful handling by an experienced supervisor/work force and should be executed with
utmost caution. Gradual dislodging and use of PPE is required.
Column Reinforcements
The tendency of bar-benders is to tie the vertical steel with coir rope or 8 mm steel rods as ties on
all four sides of the column reinforcements. Reinforcement to columns shall be by welding MS rods
with metal scaffolding to keep it in position till the final casting of RCC is done.
Fall of Objects or Debris from a Height
At bridges construction sites (or in work areas at a height above ground level) thick nylon net or
hessian barriers shall be used to prevent any splinter, debris, mortar or concrete from falling onto the
passersby or workmen around.
Water Storage Tanks (for General Use, Curing etc.)
A child of a worker or that of a near-by resident falling into the water tank is also a risk associated
with construction sites. The water tanks therefore shall be provided with protective cover/lid with

Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
To prevent increased siltation, if need be existing bridges maybe widened downstream side of
the water body;
Cement and coal ash should be stacked together, fenced by bricks or earth wall, and kept away
from water, to prevent leachate formation and contamination of surface and ground water;
If need be, slope of the embankments leading to water bodies should be modified and
rechannelised to prevent entry of contaminants into the water body;
During construction silt fencing (consists of geo-textile with extremely small size supported by
wire-mish mounted on a panel made up of angle frame) could be used along the road at all canals
and rivers to prevent sediments from the construction site to enter into the watercourses.

The Concessionaire shall at all times carry out work on the road in a manner creating least
interference to the flow of traffic with the satisfactory execution. For all works involving improvements
to the existing state highway, the Concessionaire shall, in accordance with the directives of the SE,
provide and maintain, during execution of the work, a passage for traffic either along a part of the
existing carriageway under improvement, or along a temporary diversion constructed close to the
state highway. The Concessionaire shall take prior approval of the SE regarding traffic arrangements
during construction.
5. TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CONTROL

up any construction, an agreed phased programme for the diversion of traffic or closer of traffic
on the road shall be drawn up in consultation with the SE.
(vi) At the points where traffic is to deviate from its normal path (whether on temporary diversion or
part width of the carriageway) the lane width path for traffic shall be clearly marked with the aid
of pavement markings, painted drums or a similar device to the directions of the SE. At night,
the passage shall be delineated with lanterns or other suitable light source.
(vii) One-way traffic operation shall be established whenever the traffic is to be passed over part of
the carriageway inadequate for two-lane traffic. This shall be done with the help of temporary
traffic signals or flagmen kept positioned on opposite sides during all hours. For regulation of
traffic, the flagmen shall be equipped with red and green flags and lanterns / lights.
(viii) On both sides, suitable regulatory / warnings signs as approved by the PIU-APRDC shall be
installed for the guidance of road users. On each approach, at least two signs shall be put up,
one close to the point where transition of carriageway begins and the other 120 m away. The
signs shall be of design and of reflector type, if so directed by the Engineer.

ANNEXURE 3.50: LANDSCAPING, TREE PLANTING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT PLAN
Due to the proposed project, there will be direct and long term impacts on the flora, which is
unavoidable. Therefore, to reduce the impact on flora, plantation of trees has been proposed.
The mitigation and enhancement measures taken along the project corridor includes,
Transplantation of trees (girth size up to 30 cm): to save the existing tree species
Compensatory Plantation: to compensate the felling of trees
Avenue Plantation and Median Plantation
A) TRANSPLANTATION OF TREES
Based on the actual site condition of existing tree species, 579 trees have been identified for
transplantation of girth size <30cm. Major species, which can be transplanted, are Neem, Manjanathi
and Poonga.

Source: Tree Enumeration at site
Note: Above trees have been identified for transplantation. However, Concessionaire in consultation with
IE/TNRSP can transplant trees based upon the land availability and site assessment during execution. It
is preferred that trees ranging between girth size 20cm-30cm should be given preference for
transplantation.
Transplantation will be done as per below GUIDELINES FOR TRANSPLANTATION OF TREES
GUIDELINES FOR TRANSPLANTATION OF TREES
If trees are not very old, they can be transplanted easily. The percentage of survival can be hundred
percent if the work is done properly and during the rainy season. The following steps are involved:
1. The sites where the trees are to be shifted should be selected first. The sites should be free of
overhead telephone or power lines. Large pits should be dug at these sites to comfortably
accommodate the ‘tree roots’ ball of earth.
2. Distance between pits depends on the variety. Since less than 30 cm girth size trees are
proposed to be transplanted, the distance of 3 m should be considered.
3. When pits are dug at the selected sites, their sizes would depend on the dimensions/ age of the
tree. For trees of medium size the pit size will be around 8 feet in diameter and 5 feet deep. The

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
actual pit size for different trees can be adjusted with experience. The point to be kept sight of is
that ‘trees roots’ ball of earth should fit in comfortably with at least 6 to 12 inches clearan ce all
around. Usually the pit size in feet should be directly proportional to the girth of the trees in inches.
4. Adequate quantity of soil and manure mixture @ 4:1 is necessary for each pit. A little bone meal
can also be added. To start with only about 60cm soil mixture is to be filled in each pit and
watered well to form a puddle before the actual transplantation. The total quantity of soil and
manure required for all the pits should be mixed and arrange before the start of the actual
operation.
5. Before transplantation, the trees should be ‘extensively pruned’. That is, the foliage should be
completely removed and all the branches should be cut off with a pruning saw. The cut surfaces
should be painted with non-synthetic white paint to anaesthetize these portions. ‘Extensive
pruning ‘ helps in easier ‘replanting balance’ and handling, thereby reducing the shock effect. This
also aids the plant roots in recovering and adhering to the new soil and reduces transpiration
and/or loss of moisture.
6. The trees are now ready for lifting or uprooting. A deep trench of at least up to 5 feet in depth is to
be dug around the base of the tree at least 2 to 3 feet away from the trunk in the case of trees
with a girth of up to 60cm. The depth of the trench and its distance from the trunk would therefore
vary with the size of the tree. The trench should be dug to gradually converge towards the base of
the tree so that ‘tree roots’ ball of earth can ultimately be detached from the ground.
7. The trees are then to be lifted with the help of a suitable size crane. Before lifting, a piece of
gunny should be wound round the trunk, with a few wooden batons secured around the gunny
pack on the outside by a steel wire rope. This will facilitate lifting without injuring the bark.
Immediately the ‘trees roots’ ball should be sprayed with potassium phosphate solution and then
wrapped and tied with a piece of very wet gunny.
8. Before replanting, the soil at the base of the pit should be watered heavily after which the
uprooted tree along with the ‘tree roots’ ball should be lowered carefully into the new pit with the
help of the crane.
9. The empty space in this pit is to be filled with the previous prepared mixture of soil, bone meal and
manure and thoroughly rammed in tightly, so that no air gaps are left inside the soil. Air gaps
could result in fungal infection to the roots. Sand can also be added which will fill up the air gaps
when watered.
10. The trunk can now be sprayed with Blytox, a copper sulphate compound whose action is anti-
fungicidal in nature.
11. The transplanted tree should be watered heavily at the base.
12. Guy ropes, angle iron or bamboos should be used for a few days to secure the tree till the soil
hardens around the transplanted tree to hold it erect.
13. Four to five days after transplantation the trunk can be sprayed with potassium nitrate solution for
facilitating the initiation of new shoots.
14. If rains are inadequate watering should continue for three months.
The heavily pruned transplanted tree is not a pretty sight, but this should not deter the optimist, as the
chances of survival are maximum without the branches and foliage.

B) COMPENSATORY PLANTATION
As per the recent High Court order, ten saplings should be planted against each tree felled. The
TNRSP will bear the cost of such plantation. Refer Appendix 8.11: Arrangement for Compensatory
Plantation. To minimise loss of trees, clearance of only those trees identified from the design will be
removed. Endangered species, if found during construction, will be transplanted as per the Appendix
8.10: Guidelines for Transplantation of Trees. For compensatory plantation, 10-times plantation
against each felled tree of >30 cm girth size.
3781 trees (> 30 cm girth size) need to be uprooted along the alignment of SH-39 because of project
intervention. Following the above guideline, 37,810 saplings are recommended for plantation against
felled trees.
Depending on the area available at ground between PROW and EROW and at realignment sections,
14,050 trees (6230 on LHS and 7820 on RHS) trees can be planted along SH-39 which can be taken
up as compensatory plantation. The area available throughout the stretch is not homogenous.
Therefore, 1/2/3/4 ROWs plantation has been taken care in small patch, depending on availability of
area.
Also, a provision of 1 m along both side of the road has been kept in the design in rural stretches for
avenue plantation along with utilities. Since the area available will be used for plantation and utilities,
5m spacing will be maintained instead of 3m (as considered in compensatory plantation). A total of
12,300 saplings will be planted in this space. Refer Appendix 8.13: Avenue Plantation
Remaining compensatory plantation of 11,460 saplings shall be done in space available within/near
schools, colleges, hospitals, on slope of bund wall etc.
GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION OF TREE SPECIES
Road side plantation may be of various species, some of which are not appropriate. There may be
giant trees with strong stems and horizontally spreading roots or trees which branch out early and
have short stems or trees without deep roots system overturn when old in rain or wind.
1. Trees To Be Avoided: On all account, the following trees should be avoided along the roadside:
S. No. Trees Name Characteristics
1 Eucalyptus (all species) All these tree species have very weak wood and consequently
break easily in windstorm. After a heavy storm, roads become
blocked and traffic is stopped for a considerable length of time.
During a storm, these trees are threats to vehicles plying and
pedestrians on the road. Besides the eucalyptus has a few
other negative environmental impacts.
2 Acacia (all species) They are thorny trees to be avoided close to urban stretches.
Their thorns are nuisances for the pneumatic tyres of small
vehicles.
3 Ficus bengalensis, The Ficus species are of tap root system but flowing type
Ficus religiosa (average depth of root system is 1.5m). Therefore, these, when
mature, may overturn in strong-wind, storm, etc. Even the
existing trees may be recommended for removal from safety
points of view
2. Trees To Be Selected: On the other hand, some trees are appropriate for highway landscaping.
These include trees, which have thinner stem but dense foliage; that absorb/ retain dust and

and sometimes as a shade tree in coffee and tea.
7 Thespesia populnea It is a flowering plant. It is a small tree or arborescent shrub that has a
(Puvarasu) pantropical distribution, found on coasts around the world The
heartwood of the Portia Tree is dark reddish brown to chocolate
brown. It is used to make the thavil, a Carnatic musical instrument of
South India.
C) AVENUE PLANTATION AND MEDIAN PLANTATION
In addition to the compensatory plantation, trees shall be planted along the project corridors by the
TNRSP through Concessionaires. Such plantations will be initiated once the construction is complete.
The objective behind such plantation is to cover/ re-vegetate the areas within the RoW that are
presently barren. The selection of the plants for greenery development is to be made as per the
following criteria:
Plants should be fast growing & have dense canopy cover
Preferably with large leaf area
Indigenous species
Species resistant to air pollutants
Should help to maintain the ecological and hydrological balance of the region
A provision of 1 m along both side of the road has been kept in the design in rural stretches for
avenue plantation along with utilities. Since the area available will be used for both plantation and
utilities, 5m spacing will be maintained instead of 3m (as considered in compensatory plantation). A
total of 12,300 saplings will be planted in this space. Refer Appendix 8.13: Avenue Plantation

Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
Median plantation: A median of 4m has been considered in rural sections in design. In this space,
median plantation will be taken up. A total of 30.03 km of road length is suitable for median planation
(excluding length of median openings at proposed 24 locations) in which one row of shrubs will be
planated at 3 m spacing. Considering 333 shrubs/km, a total of 9999 no. of shrups are proposed to be
planted. Refer Appendix 8.13 for species to be planted in median.
GUIDELINE FOR AVENUE PLANTATION
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Avenue plantation is suggested all along the rural stretches of the project corridor.
1.2 Planting should generally be done at the height of the monsoons in the month of July.
1.3 It is felt that a weighted emphasis should be paid to protection, maintenance and safety of the
planted trees. Suitable full-timers should be employed for this purpose.
1.4 The species to be planted would be to enhance the visual experience of the road corridor.
One/ two / three rows of trees are recommended in accordance to the varying width available
of different sections. Tree spacing should not be less than 3m (Refer Figure below.)
1.5 Median plantation is suggested all along the rural stretch (excluding median openings).
According to availability of median width, only one row of flowering shrubs is proposed to be
planted in the median at 3m c/c spacing. The shrubs planted shall be of low or medium height
for preventing the headlight glare. Recommended species for median plantation are Kaner
(Nerium oleander), Garden Glory(Bouganvillea) and Yellow Kaner (Thevetia nerifolia)
Conceptual Plan for Avenue Plantation and Median Plantation
1.6 The plants will be at spacing of 3 meters and size of the pits for planting will be 0.6m /0.6m
dia and deep and 0.45m/0.45m dia and deep for median plantation.Avenue Plantation will be
done within the EROW in those stretches, where barren land is available.
1.7 The species recommended for avenue plantation should be able to withstand extreme
temperature and climate conditions and also has low requirements of water. These species
have been proposed considering the climatic conditions, requirements of water and future
management. However, other species may also be used, after approval from EO/Engineer.

(Subjected to safety norms).
GENERAL CONDITION
Saplings shall be substantially free from pests and diseases, and shall be materially
undamaged. Torn or lacerated roots shall be pruned before dispatch.
No roots shall be subjected to adverse conditions such as prolonged exposure to drying winds
or subjection to water logging, between lifting and delivery.
SUPPLY AND SUBSTITUTION
Upon submission of evidence that certain materials including plant materials are not available at time
of contract, the Concessionaire shall be permitted to substitute other and plants, with an equitable
adjustment of price. All substitutions shall be of the nearest equivalent species and variety to the
original specified and shall be subjected to the approval of the Landscape Architect. Packaging shall
be adequate for the protection of the plants and such as to avoid heating or drying out.
Each specimen of tree, or each bundle, shall be legibly labeled with the following particulars:
Its name (Both common and Scientific)
The name of the supplier, unless otherwise agreed.
The date of dispatch from the nursery.
2.2 PLANTING
Plants and Saplings
All saplings should be supplied with adequate protection as approved. After delivery, if planting is not
to be carried out immediately, balled plants should be placed and the ball covered with sand to
prevent drying out. Bare rooted plants can be heeled in by placing the roots in prepared trench and
covering them with earth, which should be watered into, avoid air pockets round the roots. Saplings
shall be planted as suggested by Environment officer.
Digging of Pits
Tree pits shall be dug a minimum of three weeks prior to backfilling.
The pits shall be 60 in diameter and 60 cms deep.
While digging the pits, the topsoil up to a depth of 30cms may be kept aside, if found good
(depending upon site conditions), and mixed with the rest of the soil.
If the soil is normal it shall be mixed with manure.
The bottom of the pit shall be forked to break up the subsoil.
Back Filling
The soil back filled watered through end gently pressed down, a day previous to planting, to make

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
Care shall be taken that the plant sapling when planted is not be buried deeper than in the
nursery, or in the pot.
Planting should not be carried out in waterlogged soil.
Plant saplings at the original soil depth; soil marks on the stem is an indication of this and
should be maintained on the finished level, allowing for setting of the soil after planting.
All plastic and other imperishable containers should be removed before planting.
Any broken or damage roots should be cut back to sound for healthy growth.
The bottom of the planting pit should be covered with 50mm to 75mm of soil.
Bare roots should be spread evenly in the planting pit; and small mound in the center of the
pits on which the roots are well aid on and evenly spread.
Soil should be placed around the roots, gently shaking the saplings to allow the soil particles
to shift into the root system to ensure close contact with all roots and prevent air pockets.
Back fill soil should be firmed as filling proceeds, layer by layer, care being taken to avoid
damaging the roots.
Staking
Newly planted saplings must be held firmly although not rigidly by staking to prevent a pocket forming
around the stem and newly formed fibrous roots being broken by mechanical pulling as the tree rocks.
Methods:
The main methods of staking shall be:
A single vertical shake, 900mm longer than the clear stem of the saplings driven 600mm into
the soil.
Two stakes as above driven firmly on either side of the saplings with a cross bar to which the
stem is attached. Suitable for bare- rooted or Ball material.
A single stake driven in at an angle at 45 degrees and leaning towards the prevailing wind, the
stem just below the lowest branch being attached to the stake. Suitable for small bare- rooted
or Ball material
For plant material 3m to 4.5m high with a single stem a three- wire adjustable guy system may
be used in exposed situations.
The end of stake should be pointed and the lower 1m to 1.2m should be coated with a non-injurious
wood preservative allowing at least 150mm above ground leveI.
Tying
Each sapling should be firmly secured to the stake so as to prevent excessive movement. Abrasion
must be avoided by using a buffer, rubber or Hessian, between the saplings and stake. The saplings
should be secured at a point just below its lowest branch, and also just above ground level; normally
two ties should be used for saplings. These should be adjusted or replaced to allow for growth.
Watering
The Landscape Concessionaire should allow for the adequate watering in of all newly planted trees
and saplings immediately after planting and during the growing season, keep the plant material well
watered.

PLAN FOR THE PROJECT ROAD
The total estimated quantity of scarified or SH39 is 1,16,396 cu.m (considering 7m of average width of
scarification and 0.050m of average thickness of scarification)
The entire material will be required for base filling of the corridor. The topsoil in all cases is about 50
cm. This will be removed and heaped to use for productive purposes. The total fill material required
would be 50cm pit developed after the topsoil removal and additional 50 cm new scarified material
would also be filled in the case of new alignments.
The mass balance would be achieved by filling along the construction alignments for access roads
etc. The detailed plan should be in conformity with the Construction scheduling prepared by the PIU .
The Concessionaire will have to obtain approval from the Engineer regarding Concessionaires plan to
use the material.

ANNEXURE 3.53: CULTURAL PROPERTIES REHABILITATION
MEASURES
The project needs to develop measures for the rehabilitation of cultural properties that will be affected
by the road improvement programme.
WHAT DOES CULTURAL PROPERTY MEAN?
The United Nations term “Cultural Property” includes sites having archaeological (prehistoric),
palaeontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Cultural Property, therefore,
encompasses remains left by previous inhabitants, for example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds)
and unique natural environmental features such as canyons and waterfalls. The rapid loss of cultural
property in many countries is irreversible and often unnecessary. Detailed background information
on all aspects of this note are contained in the technical paper of the same title, available from the
office of Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Project Policy Department of UN, which is ready to
provide assistance on request.

ANNEXURE 3.56: REFERENCE ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND
SAFETY INTERNATIONAL PRACTICES
The following section provides a summary of EHS issues associated with road projects, which occur
during the construction and operation phase, along with recommendations for their management.
1) Environment
Environmental issues during the construction and operation of roads are similar to those of other large
infrastructure projects involving significant earth moving and civil works. These impacts include,
among others, construction site waste generation; soil erosion and sediment control from materials
sourcing areas and site preparation activities; fugitive dust and other emissions (e.g. from vehicle
traffic, land clearing and movement, and materials
stockpiles); noise from heavy equipment and truck traffic; and potential hazardous materials and oil
spills associated with heavy equipment operation and fuelling activities. Environmental issues specific
to construction and operation of roads include the following:
Stormwater
Waste
Noise
Air emissions
Wastewater
Stormwater
Construction or widening of sealed roads increases the amount of impermeable surface area, which
increases the rate of surface water runoff. High stormwater flow rates can lead to stream erosion and
flooding. Stormwater may be contaminated with oil and grease, metals (e.g. lead, zinc, copper,
cadmium, chromium, and nickel), particulate matter and other pollutants released by vehicles on the
roadway, in addition to deicing salts (e.g. sodium chloride and magnesium chloride) and their
substitutes (e.g. calcium magnesium acetate and potassium acetate) from road maintenance facilities
in colder climates. Storm water may also contain nutrients and herbicides used for management of
vegetation in the rights-of-way. Practices applicable to roadways include the following:
General Storm water Management
Use of stormwater management practices that slow peak runoff flow, reduce sediment load, and
increase infiltration, including vegetated swales (planted with salt-resistant vegetation); filter strips;
terracing; check dams; detention ponds or basins; infiltration trenches; infiltration basins; and
constructed wetlands;
Where significant oil and grease is expected, using oil / water separators in the treatment
activities;
Regular inspection and maintenance of permanent erosion and runoff control features;
Road Paving
Paving in dry weather to prevent runoff of asphalt or cement materials;
Use of proper staging techniques to reduce the spillage of paving materials during the repair of
potholes and worn pavement. This may include covering storm drain inlets and manholes during
paving operations; using erosion and sediment control measures to decrease runoff from repair
sites; and utilizing pollution prevention materials (e.g. drip pans and absorbent material on paving
machines) to limit leaks and spills of paving materials and fluids;
Reducing the amount of water used to control dust, and using sweeping practices rather than
washing. Collecting and returning swept material to aggregate base or disposing as solid waste
Avoiding the generation of contaminated runoff from cleaning of asphalt equipment by substituting
diesel with vegetable oil as a release and cleaning agent; containing cleaning products and
contaminated asphalt residues; scraping before cleaning; and conducting cleaning activities away

from surface water features or drainage structures.
Waste
Solid waste may be generated during construction and maintenance of roads and associated
structures. Significant quantities of rock and soil materials may be generated from earth moving during
construction activities. Solid waste generation during operation and maintenance activities may
include road resurfacing waste (e.g. removal of the old road surface material); road litter, illegally
dumped waste, or general solid waste from rest areas; animal carcasses; vegetation waste from right-
of-way maintenance; and sediment and sludge from storm water drainage system maintenance
(including sediment traps and oil / water separation systems). Paint waste may also be generated
from road and bridge maintenance (e.g. due to removal of old paint from road stripping and bridges
prior to re-painting). Waste management strategies include:
Road Resurfacing
Maximizing the rate of recycling of road resurfacing waste either in the aggregate (e.g. reclaimed
asphalt pavement or reclaimed concrete material) or as a base;
Incorporating recyclable materials (e.g. glass, scrap tires, certain types of slag and ashes) to
reduce the volume and cost of new asphalt and concrete mixes.
Miscellaneous Wastes
Collecting animal carcasses in a timely manner and disposing through prompt burial or other
environmentally safe methods;
Composting of vegetation waste for reuse as a landscaping fertilizer;
Painting Activities
Grinding of removed, old road surface material and re-use in paving, or stockpiling the reclaim for
road bed or other uses. Old, removed asphalt may contain tar and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and may require management as a hazardous waste.
Noise
Management practices to prevent, minimize, and control noise include:
Consideration of noise impacts during road design to prevent adverse impacts at nearby
properties through the placement of the road right-of-way and / or through the design and
implementation of noise control measures discussed below.
Design and implementation of noise control measures may include the following:
o Construction of the road below the level of the surrounding land
o Noise barriers along the border of the right-of way (e.g. earthen mounds, walls, and
vegetation)
o Insulation of nearby building structures (typically consisting of window replacements)
o Use of road surfaces that generate less pavement / tire noise such as stone-matrix
asphalt
Air Emissions
Air emissions are typically related to dust during construction and exhaust from vehicles. Management
practices for air emissions include:
Use of dust control methods, such as covers, water suppression, or increased moisture content
for open materials storage piles, or controls, including air extraction and treatment through a
baghouse or cyclone for material handling sources, such as conveyors and bins;
Use of water suppression for control of loose materials on paved or unpaved road surfaces. Oil
and oil by-products is not a recommended method to control road dust.
Operation and maintenance of maintenance vehicle fleets

Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Upgrading Tirunelveli to Tenkasi Road (SH39) km 5/000 to km 50/600
Consideration of design options for the reduction of traffic congestion, including:
o Minimizing grade changes, at-grade crossings, and sharp curves which can promote
congestion
o Design of roadway to shed water, and prompt removal of snow to minimize rolling
resistance, as well as to enhance safety
o Maintenance of the road surface to preserve surface characteristics (e.g. texture and
roughness)
Wastewater
Wastewater discharges from maintenance facilities should be managed properly, and may include
connection to centralized wastewater collection and treatment systems and / or use of properly
designed and operated septic systems.
2) Occupational Health and Safety
Occupational health and safety issues associated with the construction and operation of roads
primarily include the following:
Physical hazards
Chemical hazards
Noise
Physical Hazards
Road construction and maintenance personnel, as well as landscaping workers maintaining
vegetation in the rights-of-way, can be exposed to a variety of physical hazards, principally from
operating machinery and moving vehicles but also working at elevation on bridges and overpasses.
Management practices to prevent and control physical hazards include:
Moving Equipment and Traffic Safety
Development of a transportation management plan for road repairs that includes measures to
ensure work zone safety for construction workers and the traveling public;
· Establishment of work zones to separate workers on foot from traffic and equipment by:
o Routing of traffic to alternative roads when possible
o Closure of lanes and diversion of traffic to the remaining lanes if the road is wide enough (e.g.
rerouting of all traffic to one side of a multi-lane highway)
o Where worker exposure to traffic cannot be completely eliminated, use of protective barriers to
shield workers from traffic vehicles, or installation of channeling devices(e.g. traffic cones and barrels)
to delineate the work zone
o Regulation of traffic flow by warning lights, avoiding the use of flaggers if possible
o Design of the work space to eliminate or decrease blind spots
Reduction of maximum vehicle speeds in work zones;
Training of workers in safety issues related to their activities, such as the hazards of working on
foot around equipment and vehicles; and safe practices for work at night and in other low-visibility
conditions, including use of high-visibility safety apparel and proper illumination for the work space
(while controlling glare so as not to blind workers and passing motorists).
Elevated and Overhead Work
The area around which elevated work is taking place should be barricaded to prevent
unauthorized access. Working under personnel on elevated structures should be avoided;
Hoisting and lifting equipment should be rated and properly maintained, and operators trained in
their use. Elevating platforms should be maintained and operated according to established safety
procedures including use of fall protection measures (e.g. railings); equipment movement
DPR VOLUME VII: PART A (II) P a g e | 191
Highways Department, GoTN TNRSP-II
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

protocols (e.g. movement only when the lift is in a retracted position); repair by qualified
individuals; and installation of locks to avoid unauthorized use by untrained individuals;
Ladders should be used according to pre-established safety procedures for proper placement,
climbing, standing, as well as the use of extensions.
Fall Protection
Implementation of a fall protection program that includes training in climbing techniques and use
of fall protection measures; inspection, maintenance, and replacement of fall protection
equipment; and rescue of fall-arrested workers, among others;
Establishment of criteria for use of 100 percent fall protection (typically when working over 2
meters above the working surface, but sometimes extended to 7 meters, depending on the
activity). The fall protection system should be appropriate for the structure and necessary
movements, including ascent, descent, and moving from point to point;
Installation of fixtures on bridge components to facilitate the use of fall protection systems;
Safety belts should be not less than 16 millimeters (mm) (5/8 inch) two-in-one nylon or material of
equivalent strength.
Rope safety belts should be replaced before signs of aging or fraying of fibers become evident;
When operating power tools at height, workers should use a second (backup) safety strap.
Chemical Hazards
Chemical hazards in road construction, operations, and maintenance activities may be principally
associated with exposures to dust during construction and paving activities; exhaust emissions from
heavy equipment and motor vehicle during all construction and maintenance activities; potentially
hazardous dust generated during bridge paint removal; and diesel fuel used as a release and cleaning
agent for paving equipment. Recommendations are as follows:
Use of millers and pavers with exhaust ventilation systems and proper maintenance of such
systems to maintain worker exposure to crystalline silica (millers and grinders) and asphalt fumes
(pavers) below applicable occupational exposure levels;
Use of the correct asphalt product for each specific application, and ensuring application at the
correct temperature to reduce the fuming of bitumen during normal handling;
Maintenance of work vehicles and machinery to minimize air emissions;
Reduction of engine idling time in construction sites;
Use of extenders or other means to direct diesel exhaust away from the operator;
Ventilation of indoor areas where vehicles or engines are operated, or use of exhaust extractor
hose attachments to divert exhaust outside;
Provision of adequate ventilation in tunnels or other areas with limited natural air circulation;
Use of protective clothing when working with cutbacks (a mixture of asphalt and solvents for the
repair of pavement), diesel fuel, or other solvents;
Avoiding the use of lead-containing paint and using appropriate respiratory protection when
removing paints (including those containing lead in older installations) or when cutting galvanized
steel.
Noise
Construction and maintenance personnel may be potentially exposed to extremely high levels of noise
from heavy equipment operation and from working in proximity to vehicular traffic. As most of these
noise sources cannot be prevented, control measures should include the use of personal hearing
protection by exposed personnel and implementation of work rotation programs to reduce cumulative
exposure.

3) Community Health and Safety
Significant community health and safety issues associated with road projects may also include:
Pedestrian safety
Traffic safety
Emergency preparedness
Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrians and bicyclists are at greatest risk of serious injury from collisions with moving vehicles.
Children are generally the most vulnerable due to lack of experience and knowledge of traffic related
hazards, their behavior while at play, and their small size making them less visible to motorists.
Recommended pedestrian safety management strategies include the following:
Provision of safe corridors along the road alignment and construction areas, including bridges
(e.g. paths separated from the roadway), and safe crossings (preferably over or under the
roadway) for pedestrians and bicyclists during construction and operation. Crossing locations
should take into account community preferences, including those related to convenience or
personal safety (e.g. the prevalence of crime at potential crossing point locations).
Installation of barriers (e.g. fencing, plantings) to deter pedestrian access to the roadway except
at designated crossing points;
Installation and maintenance of speed control and traffic calming devices at pedestrian crossing
areas;
Installation and maintenance of all signs, signals, markings, and other devices used to regulate
traffic, specifically those related to pedestrian facilities or bikeways.
Traffic Safety
Collisions and accidents can involve a single or multiple vehicles, pedestrians or bicyclists, and
animals. Many factors contribute to traffic accidents. Some are associated with the behavior of the
driver or the quality of the vehicle, while others are linked to the road design, or construction and
maintenance issues. Recommendations to prevent, minimize, and control risks to the community from
traffic accidents include:
Installation and maintenance of all signs, signals, markings, and other devices used to regulate
traffic, including posted speed limits, warnings of sharp turns, or other special road conditions;
Setting of speed limits appropriate to the road and traffic conditions;
Design of roadways to accommodate anticipated traffic volume and flow;
Maintenance of the road to prevent mechanical failure of vehicles due to road conditions;
Installation of measures to reduce collisions between animals and vehicles (e.g. use of signs to
alert drivers on road segments where animals frequently cross; construction of animal crossing
structures; installation of fencing along the roadway to direct animals toward crossing structures;
and use of reflectors along the roadside to deter animal crossings at night when vehicles are
approaching);
Targeting elimination of at-grade rail crossings;
Targeting the use of a real-time warning system with signage to warn drivers of congestion,
accidents, adverse weather or road conditions, and other potential hazards ahead.
Emergency Preparedness
Emergency situations most commonly associated with road operations include accidents involving
single or multiple vehicles, pedestrians, and / or the release of oil or hazardous materials. Road
operators should prepare an emergency preparedness and response plan in coordination with the
local community and local emergency responders to provide timely first aid response in the event of
accidents and hazardous materials response in the event of spills.
