1. Project Description
1.1 Background
There are several hydropower projects having the different stages of developmental works in Kabeli
Corridor of Provience number one. The official website (www.doed.gov.np) of Department of
Electricity Development (DoED), recorded different hydropower projects which have capacity of
111.09 MW are under construction in Ilam, Panchthar and Taplejung districts. Similarly, four
developers have applied for generation licenses for 4 hydropower project (526 MW). Furthermore,
survey license had been issued for 8hydropower (335 MW). The major functions of the DoED are to
guarantee transparency of regulatory framework, accommodate, promote and facilitate private
sector's participation in power sector by providing "One Window" service and license to power
projects. Therefore, Kabeli Corridor 132 KV Transmission Line Project (KCTLP) under construction
is one of the main concern projects in the eastern region of Nepal for expansion and upgrading of
Integrated Nepal Power System.

During the power development projects like KCTLP there would be various environmental and
social impacts. Therefore, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) envisages in order making its power
projects more environmentally sound, sustainable and socially beneficial.
Since World Bank is financing the project, implementation of mitigation measures is also required to
fulfill the provisions of World Bank Safeguard policy.

Nepal electricity authority is implementing Kabeli Corridor 132 kV Transmission Line project with
the financial assistance of World Bank. The first section of line from Damaksubsatatin at Jhapa to
Godaksubsatation of Illam had been complete. The Initial Environmental Examination report ( IEE)
Social Impact Assessement (SIA) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) had been prepared for the
project as per the requirement of Government of Nepal and World bank. An MOU had been signed
between Environment and Social Studies Department of NEA and Kabeli Corridor 132 kV
Transmission Line Project to implement safeguards measures and monitoring works through its unit
office in coordination and support of the experts from the department.

1.2 Rationale of Study

Nepal is one of the rich countries of the world in term of its natural resources. Among the several
natural resources found in Nepal, water resource can be used to generate the hydropower and for
irrigation. Since, after the generation of electricity, the generated hydropower should be connected to
the national grid for its distribution in several areas through transmission line. So, construction of
transmission line along with hydropower is essential for the wide distribution of generated
electricity. According to DoED, there are several hydropower projects under construction stages in
Mechi Zone. During the construction of projects like KCTLP, there would be several environmental
and social impacts and to mitigate those impacts NEA plays a vital role to make its project more
environmentally sound, sustainable and socially beneficial. Since, World Bank is main financial
supporter of this project; KCTLP has to fulfill the World Bank Safeguard Policy. To mitigate and
implement the Environment Management Plan and for the regular environment and social
monitoring of the construction site Environment and Social Management Unit was established in
February 2012.
The scope of the service of the consultant is to carry out independent review and monitoring of the
implementation of safeguard measures as per the approved documents, environmental and social
monitoring works, compliance status of the tender clauses, stakeholder engagement status, conflicted
site(s) approaches made so far and works to be done to resolve the issues

1.3 Objectives
The broad objective of independent monitoring was to review work conducted by ESMU.
Specific objectives were:

 To review the work conducted by ESMU;

 To find out the task conducted as per the approved documents;
 To assure the constructions work complied the environmental and social tender clauses;
 To make sure concerns are adequately taken care;
 To suggest ESMU/ESSD and project for the procedures and areas where improvement is
required;
 To assess the actual impacts of the project and suggest additional mitigation/enhancement
measures if required;
 To assess the effectiveness of the mitigation and enhancement program conducted under the
project; and
 To visit and consult the people of major conflict area and suggest appropriate measures.

1.4 Brief Description of Project

The project lies in province number one of Nepal. It oblique through four districts namely Jhapa,
Ilam, Panchthar which lies in Mechi Zone and Terhathum in Koshi Zone. Kabeli Corridor
Transmission Line started from LakhanpurVDC of Jhapa District to AmarpurVDC of Panchther
District. There are 25 different VDCs of these four districts affected by the KCTLP. They are
Lakhanpur, Chulachuli, Evang, Mahamai, Danabari, Chisapani, Soyak, Godak, Siddhithumka,
Sangarumba, Mangalbare, Ektappa, Phakphok, Chamaita, Chilingdin, Pauwasartap, Nawamidanda,
Imbung, Chokmagu, Siwa, Phidim, Bharapa, Subhang, Amarpur and Chattedhunga.
The project components consist of 90.019 km long double circuit transmission line and a substations
of 132/33 kV capacity. The Right of Way (RoW) of the purposed project is pm from the center line
on each side. Thus, RoW for the transmission line is 18m. It will required approximately 5m× m
land (max) for tower pad foundation depending upon tower design types which is 1 to 3 Anna (1
Anna = 32 sq.m)
The Kabeli Corridor Transmission Line starts from plain terrain of Terai at Jhapa and extends north
east through PhaguKhola at the foot hill of Churia hill and then Mai Khola in the Mid hills. From
Soyak, it bifurcated into two branches, one extending towards north east which is 6 km long arm
terminating at Godak substation and another long arm proceed north west from Soyak to Kabeli
(Amarpur) substation.
The KCTLP has planned for rural electrification along 5 km corridor (2.5 km either side of center
line) of the proposed route alignment. Survey, mapping and engineering design of rural
electrification works was completed while tendering of 5 km corridor of first section was on
progress.
2. Data Requirement and Study Methodology
This independent monitoring report is prepared based on the secondary and primary level studies.
The primary level data was collected on the physical, biological, and socio-economic environmental
sectors using variousmethods such as field observation,focus group discussions with the local
communities. Structured and unstructured questionnaire survey of the project affected households
and focus group discussions with the project affected areas in the social, socio-economic and
cultural environment were done. The data were analyzed using various tools such as personnel
experience, and projects of similarnature in similar geographic locations.

3. Major challenges and issued observed

The implementation of environment and social management plan is becoming harder in recent time
due to the public obstacle. It is very difficult to implement and complete the objectives in time. Land
acquisition process and high compensation amount is the main hurdle for timely completion.
Similarly, lengthy official process takes long time . Furthermore, regular increase in expectation of
local peoples from project and those demands unable to fulfill by project also delay the work. Due to
the limited budget and resources it is difficult to implement unnecessary public demands. Small self-
centered groups, local political leaders and lack of coordination between government agencies also
take long time for implementation of proposed program.

During our field visit, it was found that in some of affected areas people were not satisfied with
compensation modality particularly land pricing. Compensation of damage done to crops during
cable stringing work is on process, however, people are not satisfied with the lengthy and tedious
process. Though the number of environmental and social augmentation programs such as
biodiversity awareness program, social awareness program, skill development training, people are
expecting more such programs to be conducted in affected area. Project had proposed to provide
electricity in project affected area which is found not to be implemented till now.

4. Environment and Social Safeguard Implementation

4.1Waste management
To minimize the envisaged impacts on the physical environment and to maximize the beneficial
impacts, the project has originated a various mitigation measures.

 The spoil materials generated was managed properly.

.
 Liquid and solid waste were collected in safe area and disposed safely. Spent oils, mobils,
and other chemicals generated had also been safely collected in drums and disposed as per
the advice of the engineers.

 Toilets in the camps and active construction sites were constructed as per the requirement to
prohibit haphazard defecation.

 Due to regular monitoring of construction by ESMU team, the management of domestic

wastes produced was managed properly.
4.2 Biological Environment

The field survey shows that out of 257 towers 166 towers are located in cultivated land, 48 towers
are in forest land and 43 towers are in barren land. Since the acquired lands for all four substations
were agricultural cultivated land, there is no direct impact on biological environment till the stage of
project construction.

To minimize the envisaged impacts on the biological environment and to maximize the beneficial
impacts, the project has originated a various mitigation measures during the construction and
operation phase. The mitigation measures implemented include:

 The loss of forest land use due to clearance of tall trees along ROW was compensated by the
compensatory afforestation programs.

 Cleared area was replanted and ground clearance activities were limited to trimmings of the
tall standing trees particularly in the steep slopes.

 restricting the felling to only lopping and topping of the high growing or potentially high
growing trees and poles,

 restriction of fuel wood use,

 control the workforce on the damage on the vegetation structure and punish those who
indulge on such activities,

 use of bird flight diverters across to increase the visibility of the conductors to avoid the bird
hits particularly across the waterways,
 erection of barricade around the tower foundations and substation sites and uses of thorny
protuberances around pylon to divert wild animals and to restrict climbing along the pylon.

4.3 Socio- Economic and Cultural Environment

To minimize the envisaged impacts on the socio-economic environment and to maximize the
beneficial
impacts, the project has originated a various mitigation measures during the construction and
operation phase.
 The loss of land and property, price of the standing crops, fodder tress, fruits trees was
compensated at the market price.
 The household was provided with salvation of the demolished material and transportation
cost was provided to transport salvaged material.
 Extra Discomfort allowances for 6 month rental and livelihood subsistence was provided to
those whose house was demolished.
 The loss of standing tress of the private, community and lease hold forest was compensated
as per forest guideline.
 NTFP enhancement training was given to the forest community user groups and NTFP
plantation had been encouraged in RoW of transmission line.

 The interested community forest user group members and leasehold forest members were
given job opportunities in the compensatory afforestation programs.
  The lost community resource due to project was compensated as per the forest guideline
2006.

 Telephone and electricity users were given prior information regarding the disruption of the
services and services will be re-established once the cable stringing is completed.

 The affected households were given priority in the project job. While providing Job gender
discrimination had been avoided. Priority has also given to female members and members of
the indigenous, tribal and vulnerable groups in job, enhancement and training program.

 The construction workforce was regularly instructed to respect female member of the
community, local people and their traditions and culture. They have been instructed to remain
within the camps and not to enter into the private premises without informing or without the
permission.

 The local law and order authorities were regularly informed about the construction planning
and sites of construction works and activities.

 In case of construction related work force impacts, the project had support the schools of the
project affected areas, had establish good shops and health service facility within the camps.

 Health and safety plans had prepared and operationalised for the entire period of construction
to safeguard the health and safety of the construction workforce.

 The construction workforce had instructed about the risk of the constriction works regularly
and had been provided with protective equipments. First aid kits had been provisioned in all
working sites.

 To minimize the impacts on the aesthetics material excavation works were limited to the
required amount and excavation material and cleared vegetation had been placed in closed
areas and in an environmentfriendly manner.
.
4.3.1 Land Loss and PAFs
In final route alignment all 257 towers were marked on the ground. Topographic map, GPS, survey
report was used for the identification of the tower site. In addition input from the local people
involved in survey work was also taken for the identification of the tower sites. However,
preliminary findings of the extensive field visit revealed that there are about 215 households affected
due to the lands required from tower pads and substation excluding the RoW.

4.3.2 Local Employment

Large number of employers had been involved on substation as well as tower foundation works.
Basically, local manpower was involved in unskilled work whereas foreign manpower as a skilled
and technical work but priority was given to local people (especially PAFs) according to their
knowledge. Engineers, Supervisor, Electrician, mason, quality control officer, surveyor, driver,
security guard and labor are the main area of employment for local people.

4.3.3 Local Economy

Business activities like hotel, grocery and vegetable shops have been temporarily increasing in
surrounding of the substation sites of Godak whereas other economic activities was also observed in
Phidim and Amarpur substation project sites. We found that the local economy and business has
been fluently increasing now days.

After involvement on construction activities of local people, their income generation activities
increased. It helped to promote local economy and positive impacts on livelihood of local people.
4.3.4 Occupation Safety
During regular monitoring of construction site, the contractor's staffs working at site were adequately
provided personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as shoes, masks, gloves, helmets, safety belts in
the construction site. The workers are not wearing that safety equipment due to their uneasiness.
During our field visit, we make sure to wear the PPEs to all the workers for their safety. However, no
case of accident and serious injury was reported in the project construction site.
4.3.5 Law and order Situation
The labors involved in project work lives in temporary camps located within substation area without
disturbing the local periphery. Some local labors up-down daily from their homes to the substation
and tower pad construction sites. No conflict was noted between the project workers and local people
regarding the use of local resources.

4.4 Compliance Monitoring

The IEE report has recommended various indicators and methods for different environment
conditions. Compliance monitoring confirms on a regular basis that all the agreed working condition
procedure and obligation regarding various environmental considerations are followed suitably. The
mitigation measure and monitoring work purposed in the IEE document had been incorporated in
contract documents.

4.5 Social Safeguard Implementation

According to MoU between KCTLP and ESSD had completed all of the 25 social awareness
program. The subject matter of awareness program covers: general introduction of project, tower
structures, right of way, land acquisition, compensation, construction planning and schedule, mode
of compensation and suggestion, electric hazards and safety, role of civil society for implementation
of project, economic opportunity due to project implementation, ecotourism etc. All together twenty
social awareness programs were conducted in project affected former VDCs covered with project
affected families, forest user groups and locals.

4.6. Problems Identified and their Solution Measures.

 Affected people are not satisfied with compensation modality and rate.
 Damage of crops and property during cable stringing was compensated only in some areas
and is on process in other.
 Number of environmental awareness and social augmentation programs launched were not
sufficient.
 Land under stringing cables of some areas was compensated and in some areas is under
process.
 The project had proposed electricity distribution in affected areas and implementation
program is under process.
 Public Relation Officier is not available in the project office due to wchich the matters
settling at the site is delaying.
 Project office has not sufficient staff to be mobilized at every working site.
 Local people of Jorsal of created obstacles for foundation work of tower as thy are not
satisfied with the compensation amount .

Solution measures of aforementioned problems are listed in the recommendation below.

4.7 Conclusion and Recommendations

Conclusion
 The physical environment was not affected by the construction activities as the construction
materials, tower parts, cements, iron rods etc. were stored inside the substation construction
site and security guards were available for 24 hours. Similarly, waste materials produced in
the labor camp site was properly disposed.
 Since maximum no. of tower lies at a cultivated land so there was no direct impact in the
biological environment but during stringing of wire there was some damage in the trees and
seasonal crops.
 According to the IEE report of project about 3500 trees will be cut down in the alignment of
the transmission line which causes impact in the bio diversity. To minimize the impact,
compensation plantation was conducted in about 60 hectare of land of Jhapa. Ilam, Panchther
and Tehrathum district. Furthermore, replacement plantation was carried out in those
plantation sites and will be continued for five years and finally will be handover to respective
District Forest Office.
 Social awareness programs were completed for PAF's in different affected areas and One
day biodiversity awareness programs were completed in 40 schools of project affected former
VDC's. Similarly, various training programs like NTFP training, Agriculture and Horticulture
training, Livestock training were successfully completed by KC-ESMU. Finally, skill
development training program for project affected peoples was also completed.

 Local people were employed in the construction work. But maximum local people were
involved in unskilled work while foreign manpower were used in skilled works. Likewise,
business activities like hotel, grocery and vegetable shops have been observed temporarily
increasing in surrounding of the substation sites which increases the income generation of the
local peoples.
 Regular monitoring of the construction site was done by the environmental and social
monitors.

Recommendations
Some recommendations based on the current environment and social monitoring works carried out
by KC_ESMU team which can help KCTLP to carry out further monitoring works easier and to
mitigate and minimize the social and environmental impact due to project.

 Regular monitoring in the construction site was needed for the improvement of health and
sanitation of labors and proper use of safety measures by the workers during construction
work.

 Awareness about use of NTFP's plants in Row would be beneficial for PAF's to get income
from NTFP's plants and to be safe from electrical hazards.

 Good earthlings in all the pylon structures, regular trimming of the trees has to be provisioned
to reduce the impact and effects of electromagnetic fields.

 Awareness programs have to be launched to further avoid and minimize the impacts on the
safety issues to the communities along the ROW of transmission corridor also.
 Most of the seedlings were planted on community forest, river basin and the degraded forest
areas. Open area with human and livestock disturbance is one of the major threats to the
protection of the plantation site. So, they have to be protected.

 Compensation modality and rate has to be justifiable.

 Damage of crops and property during cable stringing has to be compensated.

 Further environmental awareness and social augmentation programs are recommended.
