EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects to
strengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport in Greater Mumbai and Mumbai
Metropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improving
public transport including the railway capacity.
As per requirement of The World Bank, Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for some
of these sub-projects in the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for
the entire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part
of these EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmental
impacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction and
MMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs.
This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the 5 th line construction between
Santacruz and Borivali stations on Westem Railway (WR). This project is being implemented
by the Western Railway (WR).
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services of
Serene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects of
MUTP.
2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objectives of the Environmental Audit are as follows:
o Assess the status of environmental impacts during ongoing construction and future
planned activities.
0 Assess whether any environmental mitigation measures are required based on on-going
completed works, if any. i
o Environmental mitigation measures for planned works, if required.
O Document lessons that can be useful for future projects.
O Mitigate environmental impacts on the marine water quality, water flow due to
construction of bridges and other possible impacts as identified in the MLEA report bf
Borivali - Virar Quadrupling Project prepared by Montgomery Watson Consultants,
Mumbai.
3.0 PROJECT COMPONENTS

The Santacruz - Borivali 5 th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburban
trains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of project
includes construction of 5 th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms.
Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line to
enhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway.
The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:
. Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations

3.1 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, World Bank policies/directives and GOM
directives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in Annex lB. This EMP's for the
Santacruz-Borivali project have been prepared within the framework of the Consolidated
Environmental Assessment (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirements
applicable to the Santacruz-Borivali project are as follows:
Indian Environmental and Other Requlations

o Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act.
0 The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975
g Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act):
0 Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):
D Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs):
World Bank Policies
o Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)
O Involuntary Resettlerpent (OD 4.30)
4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS

For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baseline
environmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project is
fully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed.
However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities have
been evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table A.
4.1 Ambient Air Quality

CurrentAAO Monitorin' Data
Baseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by Municipal
Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Monitoring is done
as per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), New
Delhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railway
station. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the same
line and located adjacent to Santacruz to the south. This location is considered as an
example of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic including
auto-rickshaws, buses, private vehides etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 for
ii
Environmental Audit of Santacruz- Borivali Serene Environmental Services
5h Railway line Project
SO2 , NOx and SPM reported at,Khar was 16.16 ILg/m 3

, 69.25 jig/M3 and 290 tW/M3 . These
values may not represent the MQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example.
The values for NOx and SPM exceed the MO annual average standards for residential areas.
These MQ annual average MQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60
jig/m3); NOx (60 .g/m3); SPM (140 gg/m3).
AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevated
AAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions.
However, areas between stations have much lower values.
Impacts During Construction Phase

Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on air quality due to construction activity
cannot be assessed.
Impacts During Operation Phase
During the operation stage, there will be no impact on air quality, as electric trains will be
operated on the proposed track.
4.2 Noise Impacts

Baseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise was
done near the 5 th line between Santacruz and Andheri to assess noise impacts.
Durinq Construction Phase
Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on noise levels due to construction activity
cannot be assessed.
Durinq Operation Phase
Existing baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residential
area. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are located
quite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks.
Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land, however this is not expected to
have much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to the
tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barTier all along the track to this height may not
be feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and track
modification may be more appropriate for noise reduction.
4.3 Ground and Surface Water Quality

Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body, due to construction activity
cannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers,
creek etc.) present in the Santacruz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense
Built-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on water
bodies.
Impacts During Operation Phase

The operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due to
the following reasons:
Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated in
septic tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing sewerage
network.
th Railway line Project
* Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded during

monsoons.
* There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect
any water body.
4.4 Natural Habitats and Ecology

Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the Santacruz
Borivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no
natural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection.
ImPacts Durina Construction Phase

Permission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area for
tree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo 1-in Annex 2).
However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the area
wherever feasible. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for various
WR managers.
Impacts During Oneration Phase

Impacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming up
alongside the existing tracks and there is-no forest and other sensitive ecological reserves
near the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.
4.5 Landuse
This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodies
etc. There are mixed use and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridor
boundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations.
The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as
it has come up alongside the existing tracks.
4.6 Resettlement and Rehabilitation

There are 515 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement. Resettlement
and rehabilitation of the project-affected households is being done by MMRDA as per the
Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific Community
Environment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA for
transit and permanent locations.
4.7 Archaeological and Cultural Property

Rehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious
(temples, mosques etc.) affected by project activities is required by The World Bank
Qperational Policy 4 11 on Cultural Property Preservation.
As per survey conducted by MMRDA, there were no such structures present on this route.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures
The entire construction work for the project is complete and thus EHS measures cannot be
audited/assessed for the construction phase. Also, as seen from the previous section, site
visits have not revealed any significant adverse environmental impact caused due the already
completed activity.
Thus, as far as this project is concerned, recommendations for EMP implementation

include the following:
• EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors
for future works in this area.
* EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage.
* Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation
The EHS issues are addressed for the components given below
* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves.

* Resettlement and rehabilitation
* Utility relocation
* Generation of Dust due to construction activity
* Construction Vehicle /equipment exhaust emissions
* Noise from vehicles, plants and equipment
*. Contamination of water bodies
* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves
* Soil erosion
* Debris disposal
* Soil contamination by construction wastes, fuel etc.
* Land degradation in quarry area.
* Health and hygierqe at construction labour camps
* Delays and congestion on tracks
* Traffic Control and Safety
* Occupational Health and Safety
Critical EHS recommendations for the project are given below, more details on audit findings and
recommendations are available in Tables 5.1 to 5.3 of this reporL
Pre-construction and desiqn stage:
1. Resettlement is currently being carried out by MMRDA as per RAP of GOM. Separate
Transit and permanent accommodations for project affected households should be audited at
least 6 monthly.
2. All necessary permissions to be taken for cutting trees/vegetation
3. Along with design of noise barriers, technology with low noise should be incorporated.
vii

Construction Phase
1. Road wetting for earth-working operations to be done regularly for dust suppression..
2. All contractors to make sure that all dumpers and other vehicles being used at site have been
checked for vehicle emissions and have a valid PUC certificate.
3. A clear documented procedure to be made part of the tender documents for future projects,
requirng contractors to dispose debris in low-lying areas away from water bodies, as fill
material only.
4. Documentation such as quarry release receipt issued by the District Revenue officer at the
quarry site to be available at construction site.
5. Safety and hazard posters and signs should be clearly displayed at locations such as plafform
works, level crossings, Station building construction areas etc.
6. W.R. to assure that procedure for work permit is followed at all construction sites.
7. WR to assure that all contractors make available safety shoes, face masks, earplugs etc. as
applicable to the labourers. Such PPE's should be available on site and assessment should
be made during scheduled inspections.
WR to make sure that all above requirements (given in more detail in EMP tables 5.1 to 5.3)
should be made part of tender documents for future projects.
ODeration Phase
1. Regular maintenance of track side plantation.
2. Noise monitoring on Santacruz-Borvali route as given in Table 6.
6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting
Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental
management organisation:
. In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project
Implementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway '/VR) is the PIA for this
project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA
and WR.
o WR has not been involved in any of the earlier EA efforts. Environmental mitigation
measures identified in the earlier EA for this project and also identified in the consolidated
EA are not available with WR. However, WR has incorporated certain EHS elements in
the tender documents.
o Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart
from periodic safety inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHS
elements of the project.
The construction phase is completed and site observations have not revealed any significant
residual impacts on the site due to construction phase. Major significant impacts would be
the displacement of project affected people and cutting of vegetation along the ROW. The
monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study and
permissions have been taken earlier for cufting of vegetation

Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regular
environmental monitorng program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring described
above for this project.
The recommended EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism, inspection schedule - format -
responsibilities, current institutional mechanism, training requirements etc. are given in detail
in Section 6.1 of this report. The cost for EMP for Santacruz-Borvali line is estimated at Rs.
1346000 (See Table 8).

2.0 PROJECT DETAILS
2.1 Project Need and Details
The Santacruz - Borvali 5th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburban
trains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of project
includes construction of 5 th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms.
Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line to
enhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway.
Benefits of the 5th line between Santacruz - Borivali:
1. Segregation of suburban and non-suburban traffic between Santacruz and Borivali, thus
releasing capacity on through lines to allow more suburban trains and create new route
for passenger trains to new passenger terminus at Bandra.
2. Provision of 5th line will provide additional three suburban 12-car rake paths from Borvali
to Churchgate.
2.2 Project Components and Status
The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:
* Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations

* Construction of additional infrastructure at various stations such as New Platforms and
extension of existing platforms, Station building and Booking office, F?ot over-bridges
(FOB), Extension of level crossings, etc.
* Construction of major and minor bridges at various locations
* Construction of miscellaneous structures such as drainage, boundary walls etc.
The broad project components and implementation status of the same are given below in
Table 1.1 and 1.2 respectively. Santacruz to Andheri line has started operating and track-
linking work is in progress in case of Goregaon to Borvali railway line. Photo I (Annex 2)

For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baseline
environmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project is
fully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed.
However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities have
been evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table 3.
4.1 Terrain and Geology
Santacruz - Borvali tracks run over almost a level terrain in the area. The area through out is
built-up. Some open areas are observed between Malad and Goregaon. Geology is typical
of the westem coast i.e. Basalt rocks overlain by alluvial soils / clays.
4.2 Climate
The climate of the area is characterized by high humidity nearly all year round, oppressive
summers season and well-distributed and heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon
season. This suburban district receives heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon season
between June and August.
4.3 Ambient Air Quality
Current AAQ Monitoring Data
Baseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by Municipal
Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Mronitoring is done
as per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), New
Delhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railway
station. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the same
line and located adjacent to Santacnrz to the south. This location is considered as an
example of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic including
auto-rickshaws, buses, private vehicles etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 for
S02, NOx and SPM reported at Khar was 16.16 t1g/M 3 , 69.25 jig/M3 and 290 hig/M 3 . These
values may not represent the AAQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example.
The values for NOx and SPM exceed the AAQ annual average standards for residential areas.
These AAQ annual average AAQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60
[Lg/M 3 ); NOx (60 jig/m3); SPM (140 jig/rn3).
AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevated
AAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions.
However, areas between stations have much lower values.

4.4 Noise Levels
Baseline Data
Baseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise (day
time) was done near the 5e line between Santacnrz and Andheri to assess noise impacts.
Photo 1 in Annex 2 shows a section of the completed 5th line with boundary wall and
residential areas next to it. Noise monitoring was done at a similar locations. The noise
monitoring locations and values are given below in Table 4.0

During ODeration Phase

Existing baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residential
area. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are located
Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land,-however this is not expected to
have much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to the
tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barrier all along the track to this height may not
be feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and track
modification may be more appropriate for noise reduction.

4.5 Ground and Surface Water Quality
Impact Assessment
Durinq Construction Phase
Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body due to construction activity
cannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers,
creek etc.) present in the Santacnrz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense
Built-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on water
bodies.
During Operation Phase

The operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due to
the following reasons:
* Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated in septic
tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing sewerage network.
* Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded during monsoons.
* There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect any
water body.
4.6 Natural Habitats and Ecology
Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the Santacruz

Borivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no
natural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection.
Imoacts During Construction Phase

Permission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area for
tree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo I in Annex 2).
However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the area
wherever feasible. Photo 3 in Annex 2 shows plantation and fencing done at Andheri
Station. Photo 4 shows the completed 5th line with track-side vegetable plantation which is
given on contract. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for various
WR managers.
Impacts Durina Operation Phase

Impacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming up
alongside the existing tracks and there is no forest and other sensitive ecological reserves
near the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.
4.7 Land Use

This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodies
etc. There are mixed use- and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridor
boundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations.
Impacts
The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as
it has come up alongside the existing tracks.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures
5.1 Introduction
The previous sections described the changes observed in baseline environmental status and
the environmental impacts during construction and operation stages of the project. This
section is dedicated to evaluating the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) mitigation needs
and institutional mechanisms for their implementation. EHS mitigation measures, monitoring
programs and reporting structure are required to be a part of an Environmental Management
Plan.
As discussed earlier, the entire construction work for the project is complete and thus EHS
measures cannot be audited/assessed for the construction phase. Also, as seen from the
previous section, site visits have not revealed any significant adverse environmental impact
caused due the already completed activity.
Thus, as far as this project is concemed, recommendations for EMP implementation include
the following:
* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for
future works in this area.
* EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage.
* Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation
5.2 EHS Mitigation Measures
EMP measures are presented in Table 5.1 to 5.3 for the design, construction and operation
stages. Tables 5.1 and 5.2 will be applicable only for future projects. Table 5.3 is
applicable to the operating stage of the current Santacruz-Borivali 5th line project.
The mitigation requirements mentioned should be complied by the WR by assigning

responsibilities for the same to various WR departments and making it a part of contractor
requirements where relevant.

Noise reduction at source appears to be a more practical approach to address the noise impacts.
These should be implemented by WR.
A variety of sources are responsible for both the total environmental noise pollution of a passing
train and its interior noise. These sources are the wheel, the rail, the track components - sleepers,
ballast etc. Some of the measures which are being introduced in all new rail lines are:
a. Use of continuous welded rails
b. Rubber pads between rail and sleepers.
c 30-cm stone ballast cushion below sleeper seat, which will reduce noise by providing elasticity.
d. Construction of concrete bridges instead of steel bridges.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting
Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental
management organisation:
. In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project
Implementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway (WR) is the PIA for this
project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA
and WR.
* Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart
from periodic safety inspections, currentiv there is no feedback mechanism for EHS
elements of the project.
6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program
The main objectives of a monitoring program are:

* To evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures during the construction and
operation phases.
* To satisfy the legal and community obligations
* To respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early stage and to verify the
accuracy of environmental impact prediction.
The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study
and permissions have been taken earlier for cutting of vegetation.
Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regular
environmental monitoring program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring described
above for this project. This is covered in Section below.
6.1.1 EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Construction Phase
6.1.1.1 Environmental Monitoring
The construction of this line is complete and hence monitoring during construction phase is
not being provided. For future works, monitoring of air quality, noise levels etc. will need to be
defined based on actual location and site conditions of the project.
6.1.1.2 Monitoring of EHS mitigation measures implementation
In the context of Railway projects of MUTP, an effective inspection program will go a long
way to assure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. The
program given here could be used for future construction activities on this line. The inspection
program needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by WR and, the parameters
for inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The EHS parameters to
be monitored depend upon factors such as:
21
5 Railway line.
* EHS components affected

* Construction schedule of the project
* Environmental Mitigation measures suggested
Based on the site observations, level of awareness of contractor and WR staff, the following
program and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHS implementation at future
construction sites covered by MUTP:
a. Monthly inspection program by WR for all project construction sites. The

inspection will be carried out by DCE (Construction) In-charge of the construction
site, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as per Annex 4. The
inspection will be carried out during the entire period of construction activity
including before start of construction and immediately after construction is
complete.
The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed DCE to

the Chief Engineer (WR). Correctve action plan with time frame for implementation
for any non-compliance to be also submitted.
(Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works. However, a group of

similar activites could be inspected using the same checklist . E.g.- Findings of
inspection of construction of station building, FOB, platform extension work at a
station could be entered in the same checklist).
b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specified in
Annex 5.
c. Copy of the completed monthly inspectfon checklist should be sent by the Chief
Engineer (WR) to MMRDA every month for review. The Inspection checklist for a
month along with the corrective actfon plan, if any, shall reach MMRDA no later
than the 1?m day of the next month.
d. MMRDA to carry out independent 3rd- party inspection of various construction sites
(the sample sites indicated in this report could be visited at a minimum) every
quarter during the constructfon activity and also after construction is completed to
assess any residual environmental Impact A Project Management Consultant
(PMC) should be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Review checklist given in
Annex 4 could be used for this purpose.

6.1.2 EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Operation Phase
Operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for the following:
* Ambient noise levels to determine baseline levels and track improvements accrued due to
implementation of source noise reduction. Ambient air monitoring is not suggested since
the operation will not contribute to air pollution (Electricity driven trains). Also no impacts
during operation stage expected on water quality and soil quality.
* Health and survival rates of the compensatory and other plantation done by WR.
* Monitoring of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) sites for the people displaced due to
the project. This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this audit report.
The monitoring program suggested is given in Table 6 below.

I ASSIGNMENT:
The purpose of this assignm1ent is to assist Mumbai Metropolitan Region

Development Authority (MMRDA) in carrying Out an environmental audit of
various ongoing railways projects to determine how environmental Issues, if any.
can be addressed at this stage of project implementation.
2 BACKGROUND:
21 MMRDA had appointed Montgomery-Watson Consultantis (India) l vt Ltd to

ulidertake the preparation of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the MUTP
This EA process resulted in the preparation of Sectoral-Level Environmental
Assessment (SLEA). Programmatic Level Environmental Assessmelnt (PLEA)
and Micro-Level Environmental Assessment (MLEA) Tlhe SLEA was a strategic
document, the PLEAs were prepared for small generic sub-piojects like flyovers.
ROBs and RUBs while MLEAs were prepared for larger sub-projects like road
wicdenin1g and extensionis This study was undertaken between 1996 and 1998
and ICcsullCd in several outputs includinig a syntlesized final i epolt
22 Consequently, almost all of these railway projects except DC to AC conversion

hiave been started and are in varying stages of implementntion As tIhe
conistiuctioni work of the project is already underway consultalits sh ouldl assess

3.4.1 The MRVC has proposed to undertake the conversion of DC to AC Tractioni so

that the sub-urban trains in Mumnbai would be converted to traction of 25000 V
AC from the present 1500 V DC. The project would involve the provision of 18
DC sub-stations (5 substationis on Western Railway and 13 sub-stations on
Central Railway) in place of existing 69 DC suib-slalions Jlle delailed

environmental benefits of the project. The project will have 10 to 15 %Yo lower
consumption of energy and lesser use of insulation materials such as copper and
Aluminum whichi would have least impact on environment as compared to DC

ANNEX- 1B
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK
1 The project will be implemented within the Indian legal framework and will also complywith
the safeguard policies of the World Bank. The applicable legal and policy framework is
descfibed below.
Applicable Indian Legal Requirements

2. The applicable Indian legal provisions are described in two groups one related to
environment and the other related to resettlement.
Legislation related to Environment:
3. There are various Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable for different environmental
components such as Air Polluton, Water Pollubon, Noise Pollution, Coastal Areas,
Hazardous Matefials Handling and Transpoit, Forest and Wildlife. In additon, regulatory
provisions by way of environmental clearance also exist. The applicable acts and
regulabons are listed below.
Environmental (Protectfon) Act, 1986

4. This is an umbrella act for environmental protection. Various rules and notifications are
issued from bme to time under the provisions of this Act. Environmental Protection Rules
(2000) specify standards for ambient air quality whereas Noise Pollution (Regulation and
Control) Rules, 2000 provide for the ambient noise standards in public places. However
legal mechanism to achieve these are not explicit in terms of emission at source in
transport sector except for the vehicle emission norms like Euro II or Bharat II that have
been prescribed. The Environmental Impact Assessment Notification. 1994 (as amended in
May 1997) make environmental clearance mandatory for 29 categores of developmental
projects listed in Schedule 1 of the notification. Railways are not listed in schedule 1 and
hence do not need environmental clearance. For other components under MUTP, MoE_F
has confirmed that environmental qlearance EIA notfication is not required.
Coastal Regulation Zone Notfication, 1991

5. The notification provides for determining certain areas between the Low Tide Line
(LTL) and High Tide Line (HTL) and adjacent land ward area as the Coastal
Regulation Zone and its classification into CRZ I -ecologically sensitive and coastal
wetland between HTL and LTL, CRZ II - where development has already occurred
and CRZ IlIl - the residual area largely rural in character. The notification also
prescribes prohibited activities in CRZ and activities that can be taken up with the
approval of MoEF. Reclamation being a prohibited activity cannot be undertaken in
CRZ I.
The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservabon of Trees Act. 1975
6 GOM legislation requires every local authority to constitute a Tree Authority. No tree can be
felled without the permission of this authority. The Road development agencies will have to
obtain the permission of the Tree Authority for felling of trees in the right of way and follow
the Tree Authorities stipulations in respect of transplantng or compensatory plantation.
Legislation related to R & R.
Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act):

7. This act provides for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes by paying
compensation at the market rate with 30% solatium for the compulsory nature of acquisiton
and interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notificabon of land for acquisition.
Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):

8. The act provides for preparation of Regional Plan for the MMR as a whole and preparabon
of Development Plans (Master Plans) for-the local jurisdiction of individual municipal
authority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999whereasthe
Development Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 1991. The Regional Plan is policy
oriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specificand prescribes
detailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, which
can then be acquired in conjuncton with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The act
also provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of Development
Control Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistentwith the Regional Plan
and the Development Plan.
Develooment Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs):

9. The DCRs set out the standards for building design and construction, provision of services
like water supply, sewerage, site drainage, access roads, elevators, fire fighting etc. A
separate set of regulabons is included for the redevelopment or resettlement of slums,
which are administered by the Slun, Rehabilitabon Authority (SRA). Buildings procured for
R & R have to conform to these DeRs. Up-front clearance of the entre project is however
not required under the DCR. Approvals are to be obtained for individual scheme, as it gets
prepared.
10. These regulations prepared under the MR & TP Act offer an alternatve to acquisibon under
LA Act by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR). The permissible Floor Space
Index (FSI) defines the development rights of every parcel of land in Mumbai. If apartcular
parcel of land is designated for a public purpose the landowner has an option of accepting
monetary compensabon under the LA Act 1894 or accept TDR (equivalent to the plot area
times the permissible FSI), which can be sold in the market for use elsewhere in Mumbai.
The DC Regulations have been amended to provide incentives for rehabilitation (including
resettlement of slum dwellers) in 1997. For landowners prepared to provide 225 sq.ft.
dwelling units free of cost to slum dwellers, the incentve is in the form of right to build and
sell floor space equivalent to that required for slum rehabilitation subject to the maximum
in-situ utirization of FSI of 2.5. The remainder of the total development rights can be used
as TDR. In case of land designated for resettlement of slum dwellers affected by
infrastructure projects, the land owner has an option of offering dwelling unitsto the project
implementing agency free of cost and getting the benefit of maximum of TDR equivalentto
floor area calculated at FSI of 3.5 (1 for land and 2.5 for the built-up area).
The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960:

11. This act provides for establishing, registering and administering the co-operative societies.
Housing co-operative is a special form of co-operative society, where the land and building
is owned by the co-operative and its members have occupancy rights of apartment
occupied by them. Sale and purchase of such units can take place only with the consent of
the society. This is a common form of tenure in Mumbai's apartment buildings and iswdely
understood.
Applicable World Bank Policies

12. Given that MUTP has been developed with the intention of mobilizing financial resources
from the World Bank, project preparation has included a number of studies and
assessments which have sought to address and meet the requirements of the World
Bank's environmental and social policies, often referred as the 'safeguard' policies. The
next paragraphs provide a summary overview of how these guidelines have been
considered.
Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)

13. In the context of the Bank's Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 on Environmental Assessment,
MUTP has been classified as category "A" project, largely on the basis of the large number
of people requiring resettlement and rehabilitation. Because of the large-scale resettlement
and the triggering of more than one safeguard policy the project is also classified as 'S1 " in
terms of safeguard issues. A consolidated EA including SEA has been prepared that
provides the framework for preparing sub-project specific EA and EMPs in compliance with
the World Bank policy.
Cultural Property (OP 4.11):

14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological
(prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Cultural
property, therefore, encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (for
example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmentalfeatures
such as canyons and waterfalls. The World Bank's general policy regarding cultural
properties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination.
15. Mumbai with its history of- nearly three hundred years is rich in cultural property
particularly in the form of built herTtage. GOM and MCGM are acutely aware of the need to
conserve such heritage. GOM in 1995 with the involvement of NGOs listed over 600
buildings and precincts as of heritage significance. DCR 67 govems the development of
these listed buildings and precincts. GOM has also constituted a Heritage Conservation
Committee in 1995 to advise the Municipal Commissioner regarding development
permission to be granted in case of listed buildings and precincts. No development
permission can be granted of the listed buildings or within the precincts without the consent
of the Heritage Committee.
16. During the execution of works, if a 'chance find "of archaeological significance occurs, the
contract requires the contractor to immediately inform the employer and stop furtherwork.
Employer will in turn inform the state Archaeology Department for further investigation.
17. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are small
places of worship established by the community of squatters within the right of
way. These hav7e been created by the affected communities for their own use.
Such places of worship do not possess any historical or architectural significance
and may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property.
Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs. The
places of worship and other community assets are identified dunng the BSES.
Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process in
consultation with the community The impact on these properties and the manner in
which such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categones. Firstly the
buildings that are only partially affected can be helped to add equivalent area elsewhere
adjacent to the building. Secondly structures that are fully affected by the right of way but
are patronized by the community that is not affected by the project could be rebuilt outside
the right of way in consultation with the community and with assistance of the NGO. In
some cases the entrance to the structure could be reoriented to ensure safety of the
devotees visiting the place. Thirdly the affected structuresthat patronized by the community
being resettled could be relocated in consultation with the community. In addition, the
community may agree to forego some places without insisting upon their resettlement
Natural Habitat (OP 4.04):
18. Natural habitats are defined as land and water areas where (i) the ecosystems' biological
communities are formed largely by native plant and animal species, and (ii) human activity
has not essentfally modified the area's primary ecological functions. All natural habitats
have important biological, social, economic, and existence value. Important natural habitats
may occur in tropical humid, dry, and cloud forests; temperate and boreal forests;
Mediterranean-type shrub lands; natural arid and semi-arid lands; mangrove swamps,
coastal marshes, and other wetlands; estuaries; sea grass beds; coral reefs; freshwater
lakes and rivers; alpine and sub alpine environments, including herb fields, grasslands, and
paramos; and tropical and temperate grasslands. Criticalnaturalhabitats include exisfing
protected areas and areas officially proposed by governments as protected areas (e.g.,
reserves that meet the criteria of the World Conservation Union [IUCN] classifications i.e.
Strict Nature Reserve/Wilderness Area: protected area managed for science or wilderness
protecton; Il-Nabonal Park: protected area managed mainly for ecosystem protection and
recreation; Ill-Natural Monument: protected area managed mainly for conservation of
specific natural features; IV-HabitatVSpecies Management Area: protected area managed
mainly for conservation through management intervention; V-Protected
Landscape/Seascape: protected area managed mainly for landscape/seascape
conservation and recreation; and VI-Managed Resource Protected Area: protected area
managed mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems. The conservabon of natural
habitats, like other measures that protect and enhance the environment, is essential for
long-term sustainable development. The Bank therefore supports the protection,
maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic and
sector work, project financing, and policy dialogue. The Bank supports, and expects
borrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management to ensure
opportunities for environmentally sustainable development.
19. From this perspective one of Mumbai's notable natural habitat is limited to the 103 sq.km.
Nabonal Park at Borivaii, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula between the
two rail corridors. The National Park is protected underthe Indian Forest Act. None of the
sub-projects passes through the National Park. The other important Natural Habitat is the
coastal wetlands in the eastern and western suburbs and along the Vasai creek. These are
protected by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification of 19 February 1991.
Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30)
20. The Operational Directve 4.30 describes Bank policy and procedures on
involuntary resettlement, as well as the conditions that borrowers are expected to
meet in operations involving involuntary resettlement. Planning and financing
resettlement of projects are an integral part of preparation for projects that cause
involuntary displacement MUTP will require resettlement of about 19000
households (68000 persons) The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
is therefore applicable to the project. In compliance with to this policy an R & R
Policy has been prepared and adopted by GOM for MUTP. RAP providing the
overall framework of policy, entitlements, consultative processes, grevance
redressal mechanism, component costs and monitoring and evaluation mechanism
has already been prepared. Sub-project specific RIPs are being prepared.
Indigenous People (OD 4.20)

21. This operabonal directive describes Bank policies and processing procedures for projects
that affect indigenous peoples. It sets out basic definitions, policy objectves, and guidelines
for the design and implementabon of project provisions or components for indigenous
peoples. The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tribal groups,"
and "scheduled tribes" describe social groups with a social and cultural identty distinct from
the dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the
development process. For the purposes of this directive, "indigenous peoples" is the term
that will be used to referto these groups. Indigenous peoples can be identified in particular
geographical areas by the presence in varying degrees of the following characteristics: (a)
a close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas; (b)
self-identfication and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; (c)an
indigenous language, often different from the national language;(d) presence of customary
social and political insttutions; and (e) primarily subsistence-oriented production.
22. About 1%of the PAHs of MUTP belong to the Scheduled Tribes. A field-based review was
undertaken to determine if these PAHs were subject to application of this Policy since they
might have originally belonged to tribal communities in the distant past. As of now they are
integrated with the city life and do not have their traditional habitat or follow traditional ways
of life. More particularly, (a)they no longer have close attachment to ancestral territories;
(b)they do not identify themselves or are identified by others as distinct cultural group; (c)
they do not speak an indigenous language; and (d) they no longer belong to customary
social and political institutions. There is also a general reluctance to reveal the caste or
tribe particularly pronounced when data is to be kept in public domain. It wasdetermined by
the review that the social impact of the project on such people is therefore similar to thaton
other PAHs and thus the policy does not apply. No separate Indigenous Peoples
Development Plan (IPDP) has therefore been prepared.
Other Safeguard Policies
23. World Bank has other safeguard policies dealing with Pest Management, Forestry, Safety
of Dams and Projects in International Waterways or in Disputed Areas These are however
not applicable to MUTP.
