Comments on Scoping Document for Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) of 132KV Single Circuit

Transmission Line Project for Likhu 1 Hydro-power Project (2 November 2018) By Bhupendra Sharma
.On cover page for both Proponent and consultancy; Submitted by is written
.The geological condition of 15 tower foundation in focused to landslide and land stability must be detail
study in EIA
Page 9 & 10; Transmission line route and general arrangement better to provide in tabular form in focused
to stations
.Local People have raised issue of share so needs to be addressed at the time of EIA Study. Further
plantation issue is raised by locals if they have specific site and species focused needs to be addressed.
During EIA study number of consultations (local people in meeting) needs to be increased.
.Issues raised by stakeholders in focused to skill training; Community Support Program or CSR needs to be
clearly addressed in EIA
.In Topographic Layout of the Project; for tower foundations in EIA study it would be better to mention
the geographical coordinates
.During EIA study the issues raised by Civil Aviation Authority in focused to height of Pylon; red and white
paints; Obstacle lights etc. needs to be considered
.Issues raised by ministry of Forests and Environment in focused to Forest needs to be incorporated
.Length of the Transmission line mentioned in License and report needs to be checked
.Provided maps are unclear and difficult to read
.In the declaration section (Annex VII); commitment from Proponent better to mention the name and
position. Similarly from Study team member better to put on Signature

Page 2; Statutory Legal requirement: Explained about Scoping Document in place of ToR

In ToR; Writing Objectives of EIA study are unnecessary

Page 19; source of construction power point or location needs to explain

Page 26; Data about birds are necessary to study

The study methods in focused to land stability; soil; air quality (From Previous Literature- is it relevant?)
etc. needs to be clearly explained.

Page 42; Alternative analysis; number of alternative evaluations and considerations needs to be
mentioned
Comments on ToR for IEE of 132KV Double Circuit Transmission Line Project for Likhu A Hydro-power
Project (2 November 2018) By Bhupendra Sharma

In Checklist for Biological Environment; it needs to be explained about the study of Birds

Page 4; Project Location and Alignment; once check the co-ordinates provided in License as well

Page 34; Is Landslide Hazard mapping using walkthrough survey sufficient? Geological condition, rock
types; dip direction and dip amount is necessary.

Page 36; No field or lab analysis of air and water will be carried is mentioned (needs to include if
secondary data at least available

Page 44: MKHPP is written once check

.Study of geological condition, land stability; seismicity of study area needs to be explained

.Provided maps are unclear to read

Page 100: Alternative analysis; number of alternative evaluations and considerations needs to be
mentioned

Issue raised, identified in focused to Physical, biological aspects and methods of data collection must be
very specific
