Plans Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Project 1 Introduction The Government of Punjab is planning to undertake the Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Project (PBIP-II), and is seeking the World Bank (WB) finances for this purpose. In compliance with the Pakistan's statutory requirements and the WB safeguard policies, an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study of the proposed project has been carried out. In addition, a Social Development Action Plan (SDAP) has been developed, to address the social issues of the project to a . greater depth. This document presents the summary of ESIA and SDAP; the complete versions of ESIA and SDAP are presented under separate covers. The ESIA and SDAP will be collectively referred to as the Environmental Assessment (EA) studies in the rest of this document. 1.1 Project Description The proposed project involves rehabilitation and modernization of the Jinnah Barrage', and improvement and modernization of the irrigation and water management system in the Punjab province. The Jinnah Barrage is located at 32° 55.1846' North and 71 ° 31.1812' East across the Indus River, approximately 5 km south of the town of Kalabagh in the Mianwali District of Punjab, Pakistan (see Figure 1.1). The area irrigated by the Barrage is spread over the Mianwali, Khushab, Bhakkar, Layyah, and Muzaffargarh districts. 1.1.1 Background Jinnah Barrage Rehabilitation and Modernization. Commissioned in 1946, the Jinnah Barrage is one of the most important structures in Pakistan's irrigation system, handling all the Indus river water. Although it has a design discharge capacity of 950,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) corresponding to a 100 year return flood , it is able to handle a flow of 1.1 million cfs, corresponding to a 600 year return flood. There is only one off-take canal - the Thai Canal, which supports agriculture on 2.1 million acres of land in the Mianwali, Khushab, Bhakkar, Layyah, and Muzaffargarh districts of the Punjab province. These districts are situated in the Thai (desert) arid zones where crop production without irrigation can support only subsistence living. About five million people in the five districts inhabit the command area and their livelihoods depend directly or indirectly on the irrigation supplies of the ThaI Canal. Roughly 695,000 people derive their livelihoods directly from the irrigation supplies of the Canal. The Canal also recharges the aquifers from which water is pumped to meet water requirements during critical periods . The Canal water is also used for drinking purpose, cattle consumption, and domestic uses in the entire command area. Most significantly, it is the lifeline in 120,421 acres in the Mohajir Branch canal command where the underground water is saline and a population of nearly 328,000 people in 94 villages is totally dependent on the canal water for drinking purpose and crop production . Some defects developed in the mechanical installations and working of the gates of the Barrage, and were repaired during 1992-93. In 1998, the Irrigation and Power Department (IPD), Government of Punjab, reviewed the condition of all the barrages in the province and identified Jinnah Barrage as a priority project for rehabilitation and modernization. Subsequently, a number of studies were carried out to determine the condition of the Jinnah Barrage which identified functional and structural problems . Consequently, in December 2003, the Punjab Government commissioned the feasibility 1 The Ban'age is named after the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. PMO, Irrigation and Power Department, Government of the Punjab Summary ESIA and Action Plans Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Project study for the rehabilitation and modernization of the Jinnah Barrage. The study confirmed the existence of some serious hydraulic and structural problems at the Barrage. Figure 1.1: Project Location In 2005, the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) finalized the agreement for construction of the Jinnah Hydropower Plant on the right flank of the Jinnah Barrage. The contractor for the construction of the Hydropower Plant under the agreement for the Power Plant will also modernize and automate 14 of the 56 gates of the Jinnah Barrage. The rehabilitation and modernization of the remaining gates of the Jinnah Barrage will be carried out based on the actual survey conducted and design prepared by the design consultants during the proposed project. Improving Waterllrrigation Management. Punjab covers about 60 percent of the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS), and has a complex river and link canal system. Despite of this, water allocation and management in various parts of the system is carried out using hand calculations, including estimation of demands and pattern of releases from the reservoirs . Also, there is no well established and integrated system of water accounting in various parts of the system i.e. at barrages, rivers, link canals, main/branch canals, and distributaries etc . Instrumentation used for measuring water, sediments, cross-sections of the river and canals are outdated and in many cases hand held staff gauges are used. Punjab needs to modernize its water allocation and management system and water accounting system with modern simulation and optimization models and decision support system. The accounting system being initiated by the Punjab Monitoring and Implementation Unit (PMIU) needs further updating and development. 1.1.2 Project Components The proposed project comprises four components, which are discussed below . Component A: Jinnah Barrage Rehabilitation and Modernization. The rehabilitation and modernization measures at the Jinnah Barrage would consist of: (i) a subsidiary weir 600 feet (183 m) downstream of the Barrage main weir to address retrogression and ineffective energy dissipation problems; (ii) repairs to the barrage floor, impact and friction blocks, and guide banks; (iii) extension of downstream guide walls; (iv) alteration to the main Barrage structure, including extension of PMO, Irrigation and Power Department, Government of the Punjab 2 Summary ESJA and Action Plans Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Project abutments and downstream divide walls; (v) replenishing deficient apron downstream of the existing Barrage; (vi) construction of river training works upstream to improve river approach towards the Barrage; (vii) renovation of the Barrage gates and hoist system, and automation of gate operation; (viii) construction of fish ladders; (ix) installation of bulkhead guiders at piers abutments and walls for bulkhead gates; (x) construction of jetty for bulkhead gates; (xi) upgrading of the Barrage monitoring system and basic operation and maintenance facilities; (xii) construction of temporary diversion channel; and (xiii) construction of coffer dams on the downstream and upstream sides of the gates to allow carrying out construction of the subsidiary weir. These modifications would secure a safe barrage structure for passing design flood and modernized operational system. Component B: Improvement and Modernization of the Irrigation and Water Management System. This component consists of improvements in irrigation and water management systems including capacity building for better water allocation and accounting, inodernization of equipment and services used in water management. It will also support preparation of future irrigation and water management improvement projects in the province. Component C: Monitoring and EvaJuation of the Project Impact and SociaJ and Environmental Management Plans. The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to provide continuous feedback about the progress and status of project implementation; performance, impacts and to supervise implementation of the overall social/resettlement and environmental management plans. An independent consultant will carry out the M&E activities and supervision of environmental and social development actins plans. Component D: Project Management Coordination Technical Assistance and Training. This component will support the Government in implementing the project by coordinating all project related activities and provide technical assistance and training. 1.1.3 Project Construction Most of the construction activities during the proposed project will be confined to the river corridor; however the following project activities/facilities will be located outside this corridor: · The project and construction camps, labor camp, equipment and material yards, and additional depots. · Construction of haul tracks in order to transport construction material. · Batching plants. · Borrowing areas for obtaining earth, sand, coarse aggregates, and stone for rip-nip. The locations for the above facilities have already been identified at the project site. Meeting Water Demand Downstream of the Barrage. Water flows downstream of the Barrage cannot be interrupted during construction as flows going downstream supply water for almost whole of IBIS, covering Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan. Construction is to be done in a manner so that flows to the Thai Canal (off-taking from the Jinnah Barrage) are not compromised. For this purpose, PMO and the Design Consultants carried out hydrological analysis to determine the river flows required/observed for systems downstream from the Jinnah Barrage as well as for the Thai Canal. Data from 1998-2007 on lO-daily basis was used for carrying out this analysis. Based on this analysis, a decision has been taken to design the coffers dams (called temporary works) to allow passing a maximum discharge of 250,000 cfs downstream that is determined to be adequate for meeting the downstream water requirements. The crest levels of the cofferdams upstream and downstream is determined based on this discharge, and the strength of the coffer dams would be PMO, Irrigation and Power Department, Government of the Punjab 3 Summary ESIA and Action Plans Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Project designed accordingly. This discharge could easily be passed through 45 percent of the available width of the Barrage; hence, sequence of construction and repairs to the gates is determined accordingly. Flow to the Thai Canal during Construction Period. The Thai Canal is a perennial canal i.e. it has the right to draw water in both seasons of the year, winter (Rabi) and summer (Kharif). As the winter supplies to the Canal and to the river are lower than the summer, the construction would be concentrated during the winter months. Accordingly, winter flows are analyzed here. The official and regular closure for Thai Canal is three weeks, during which no water is supplied to the Canal and inspection and maintenance of the key structures of the canal are carried out. This three-week closure is generally scheduled during winter season in the month of January; however, its timing varies from year to year depending upon the forecast of availability in the river system and some other factors . Construction Planning and Sequencing of Works. The construction is planned to be completed in four calendar years (also called contract years) and three construction years . The construction would be concentrated from October-May/June and the period between the months of June to September when river flows would be high would be used for preparation for the following construction year. The contract has to be awarded in a manner that that contractor is mobilized in May i.e. before first year of construction (October to June). In the first year, construction would be carried out on the right side of the barrage covering gates 27 to 56 (the Barrage has 56 gates and they are numbered 1 to 56 starting from the left to the right bank). The coffer dams would be constructed in winter to secure, cordon and de-water the construction area. The construction would be completed in this section by May of the following year and the coffer dams would be dismantled by end May early June to allow summer flows to pass. The same cycle would be followed on the left side in the winter of second year till summer of the third year. In the winter of the third year gate Number 1 of the Barrage which is close to the Thai Canal would be rehabilitated during the normal canal closure period of three weeks. The detailed sequencing is gi ven in Table 1.1, and a schematic diagram of the construction works is given in Figure 1.2.

E February 15-28 After May 31 Gates 1-7 Standby Feeder Canal. A standby feeder canal is planned to be constructed as part of the proposed project, to supply water to the Mohajir Branch of the ThaI Canal, the command area of which is underlain with saline groundwater, to meet critical needs in case there are any delays in completing construction beyond the normal closure period of three weeks. The capacity of this standby canal has been determined to be 1,500 cfs, to meet the requirements during January, and in view of the capacity of the Mohajir Branch. 1.1.4 Project Implementation Arrangements The Punjab Irrigation and Power Department (IPD) of the Government of Punjab will be responsible for the execution and implementation of the project through the Project Management Office (PMO). PMO has extensive experience in large scale construction projects including Taunsa Barrage Rehabilitation Project. PMO will be headed by a Project Director with four units: (i) Finance Unit; (ii) Procurement Unit; (iii) Engineering Unit; and (iv) Environment and Sociology Unit. PMO would be supported by two sets of consultants: Project Implementation Consultants (PICs) (Supervision Consultants), and the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Consultants. 1.1.5 Objectives and Scope of EA Studies The EA studies have been conducted in response to the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act of 1997, and the WB safeguard policy, OP 4.01. The primary objective of the ESlA study is to identify the potential negative impacts of the proposed project on the physical, biological and social environment; and to propose measures to avoid, reduce or compensate these negative impacts. SOAP augments ESlA, and has primarily been developed to enhance the project benefits to the local communities. The EA studies and hence the present Summary ESlA cover the environmental and social aspects associated with the entire project interventions and facilities described in Section 1.1.2 above. Also covered under these studies is the Thai Canal command area, which may be affected due to the possible extended canal closure during the project works at the Barrage. 1.2 Study Methodology The EA studies were conducted using a standard methodology of reviewing the project details; identifying and reviewing the secondary literature; screening of potential environmental and social aspects and impacts of the project, collecting baseline data on social and environmental aspects, and developmental needs of the affected communities; carrying out consultations with primary as well as secondary stakeholders to apprise them of the project interventions and to obtain their views, concerns and suggestions regarding the project, its impacts and the way these impacts should be addressed; identifying and characterizing the potential impacts of the project on the environment and communities, and identifying the measures to avoi~, mitigate and/or compensate these impacts; PMO, Irrigation and Power Department, Government of the Punjab 5 Summary ESIA and Action Plans Punjab Barrages Improvement Phase-II Figure 1.2: Proposed Coffer Dam Arrangement Proposed Coffer Dam Arrangement January during Jan-Feb complete ~ II March-May construction For Subsidary Weir at 600 Feet canal closure coffer dam ~~ March -~ay I I ! 6 \ g "- constructIOn II I~ ~ ,: Y':' J ~ "-.. ,. y", BARRAG' 2 D ~ , 1 $jj~"nuo" i...;, ", IW "uo<;" ~ i ~",", ~~~' ~1""1lt~I1I~ .
