1.1 Introduction
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken-up project preparation of
certain selected stretches under NHDP Phase-V, BOT programme, covering about km
1560, out of which km 315 of NH-79A, NH-79 and NH-76 from Kishangarh (km 00.000)
to Udaipur (it end at km 214.000 of NH-76) including Udaipur bypass is a part of this
prestigious programme and NHAI has been appointed the Louis Berger Group, INC.,
USA, as consultant to carry out the feasibility study of this section for widening and
strengthening of existing 4 lane into 6 lane. The project would envisage widening of
existing four- lane highway into six lanes with additional features, such as, providing of
additional service roads, underpasses, flyovers and bridges so as to enhance operational
efficiency and safety.
Environment plays a vital role in overall development of the country. Recognizing the
importance of environmental protection and sustainable development, the Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India had formulated policies and
procedures governing the industrial and other developmental activities to prevent
indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources and promote integration of
environmental concern in developmental projects. To assess and evaluate potential
environmental impacts during design, construction & operation phases and to suggest
mitigation measures with detailed environmental management plan, environmental
impact assessment study has been conducted for the project road.
During 102nd Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee of Ministry of Environment of
Forests (MOEF) for Building/Construction Projects/Township and Area Development
Projects, Coastal Regulation Zone, Infrastructure Development & Miscellaneous projects
held on 23rd & 24th June, 2011, the project was considered and Additional ToR was
given. EIA & EMP report has been prepared as per TOR approved by MOEF.
Compliance of Additional ToR is given as Appendix 1 in the end of EIA Report.
1.2 Identification of Project Proponent
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been entrusted with the
development, maintenance and management of the highways as entrusted to it by the
Government of India. Under NHDP Phase-V, BOT programme, the Govt. has decided to
convert some of the existing 4 lane into 6 lane highways. This project is to be executed
as BOT (Toll) project on DBFOT Pattern. Accordingly, National Highways Authority of
India (NHAI) has taken-up project preparation for six laning of those selected stretches
/ corridors of existing National Highways. The proposed 6 laning of NH-79A, NH-79 &
NH-76 on Kishangarh – Udaipur Section is one among such stretches selected in the
State of Rajasthan State.
1.3 Brief Description of the Project

1.8.2 Applicable Indian Road Congress (IRC) Codes To the Project Road
Thirteen IRC codes and guidelines (Table 1.2) have been segregated that have a direct
role in the environmental management during design and construction stages. Details
of these codes have been presented in Table 1.2. Indeed most of them were formulated
without a proper environmental management backing, therefore a revision of these
documents incorporating the environmental and social dimension would make these
codes more sensible with double (Engineering and Environmental) applicability i.e.,
both engineering as well as environmental management requirements.

The present configuration of the road is 4-lane in rural areas and 4-lane plus service
roads of 5.5 m width (5.0 m carriageway+2*0.25m kerb shyness) on both sides in urban
areas. At some places the service road is found to be only 3.5m (3.5m
carriageway+2*0.25 m kerb shyness).
The project road traverses through major settlements stretches such as Nasirabad,
Gulabpura, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Mangalwara and finally at Udaipur. Nasirabad
settlement starts from 36+000 and ends at km 46+000 of NH-79 A. Gulabpara settlement
starts from km 68+000 and ends at 71+000 of NH 79, Bhilwara by-pass starts at km
148+000 and ends at km 169+000, Chittorgarh by-pass starts at km 190+000 and meets
at 4-lane road at km 213+000. This is the end of Chittorgarh by-pass and after that
starting chainage of the project road is in decreasing order towards Udaipur.
Mangalwara starts at km 170+000 and ends at 173+000. At Mangalwara the project road
traverses in highly congested areas with shops and Temple and there is no sufficient
ROW for widening of road from 4-lane to 6-lane. Hence, realignment has been provided
at Mangalwara.
The proposed six lane Udaipur bypass will start at km 118.200 near Debari on NH 76 and
end at km 286.800 near Kaya on NH 8. The proposed six lane Udaipur bypass is located
in Udaipur District. In general, the terrain is plain, rolling and partly hilly. The total
length of the proposed bypass is 24.00 km.
The maximum portion of the project road passes almost through plain terrain and the
area constitutes barren and agricultural fields and bajra, jowar, wheat, barley, maize,
small millets and rice are the main agricultural produce. There are number of shops,
petrol pumps and built-up areas on the both sides of the project road & a number of
village roads on either side of the national highway connect the fields as well as
villages.

2.4 Services Roads
The service roads are proposed on both sides of the carriageway for plying of local
traffic. The need of the service road was accessed through local traffic movement and
settlements along the project corridor. There are number of villages/settlements
scattered throughout the project corridor. There are isolated rural stretches but looking
at the rate of development along the corridor and very objective of six lanning i.e. not to
keep any direct access of local traffic to main highway, the need to provide the service
road throughout the project corridor length is realized and hence it is proposed to
construct the service road on both sides throughout. The service road is terminated at
all the locations of major bridges and locations of ROB’s. All the cross road are proposed
to have junctions with service road with left in and left out arrangement. Details of
services roads are given in Table 2.1.

3.1. Introduction
In this section, analysis of alternatives for the project have been discussed. The section
begins with an analysis of the likely resulting scenario “with” and “without” project.
This is based on a quantitative analysis of overall impacts using the Delphi Technique.
Various engineering alternatives for the methods of construction are then considered –
this involves analysis of the environmental, social, engineering, economic and
institutional implications of each option.
The consideration of alternatives of 6 laning of highway is one of the more proactive
sides of environmental assessment - enhancing the project design through examining
options instead of only focusing on the more defensive task of reducing adverse
impacts of a single design. This calls for the systematic comparison of feasible
alternatives for the proposed project site, technology and operational alternatives.
Alternatives are compared in terms of their potential environmental impacts, capital
and recurrent costs, suitability under local conditions and institutional, training and
monitoring requirements.
Examining alternative means of carrying out a project involves answering the following
three questions:
(i) what are the alternatives?,
(ii) what are the environmental impacts associated with each alternative?, and
(iii) what is the rationale for selecting the preferred alternative?
3.2. Long Term Scenario “With” And “Without” Project
Qualitative analysis of the long-term scenarios likely to occur “with” and “without”
project scenario is provided in Table 3.1. The “with” project scenarios will only occur
only if the construction stage are followed and all construction activities are carried out
according to principles of Environment Friendly Road Construction..

4.1 Introduction
The project is proposed six lane from Kishangarh to Udaipur including Udaipur bypass
connecting to NH 76 to NH 8 including proposed Udaipur bypass. Environmental
studies for physical, biological and socio economic baseline environmental conditions
along the project road including proposed bypass have been discussed in brief in the
following sub-sections:
The collection of baseline information on biophysical, social and economic aspects of the
project area is the most important reference for conducting environmental impact
assessment studies. The description of environmental settings includes the characteristic
of area in which the activity of the project road including proposed bypass would occur
and cover area affected by anticipated impacts. For conducting environmental impact
assessment, existing environmental conditions along the project road including
proposed bypass, have been obtained by primary data collection, monitoring, sampling
and secondary data collection from published source and various government agencies.
The collection of baseline data was designed to satisfy information requirements and
focused on relevant environment aspects that are likely to be affected by the project
road including proposed Udaipur Bypass.

4.2.5.2 Drainage and Cross Drainage Structure
The drainage system of the Rajasthan as a whole is influenced by its geological history
and location. The Aravalli ranges which run across the state from the south-west to the
north-east direction largely influence the drainage system of the state. While a major
part of western Rajasthan has an inland drainage system, the southern, the south-
eastern and the eastern part have a well developed drainage system. The major rivers
crossing the project road are Khari, Kothari, Berach, Mansi and Banas.
The project alignment from Kishangarh to Udaipur falls within the Banas river
catchments. The Banas River rising in the Aravallis near Kumbhalgarh, collects major
run-off from Bhilwara, Chittorgarh and Udaipur districts through its tributaries, the
Khari, Mansi, Kothari, Berach, Wagan etc. Completing a journey of about 480 km &
ultimately joins the River Chambal. The catchment area of the river is nearly 45,833
sq.km.
Khari River originated in the hills near Deogarh in Rajsamund district. It flows towards
northeast for about 192 km through Ajmer, Bhilwara and Udaipur districts before
joining the Bans river near Chosala village in Ajmer District. The river crosses the road
near Gulabpura at km 62.400 of NH-79.
Mansi River (tributary of Khari River) also crosses the road after Nanga ka Khera
between chainage km 82.000 and 83.000 of NH-79. A network of canals also crosses the
alignment between chainages km 115.000 to 120.00 and km 85.000 to 87.000 of NH-79.
The catchment area of the Kahri River is nearly 6,268 sq. km.
Kothari River originated in the eastern slopes of the Aravali range near Horera village
in Bhilwara district. The river flows through Rajsamund and Bbhilwara district for
about 551 km in the hilly region, and 100 km through plain, before joining the Banas
near Nandrai village in Bhilwara district. It has a catchment area of nearly 2,341 sq km.
& on the left and right there are canals of this river crossing the road. Kothari River
crosses the Bhilwara bypass at km 19.000. A water irrigation channel runs along the
road on the right side of the road, which crosses the alignment at harnei, before
Hamirgarh. The left main canal crosses the alignment at Bhadalikhera. The catchment
area of the river is nearly 2341 sq km.
The Berach river, a tributary of Banas river, originates in the hills Northeast of Udaipur
city. It flows northeast for about 157 km in Udaipur, Chittorgarh and Bhilwara Districts
before joining the Banas near Bigod village in Mandalgarh Tehsil of Bhilwara district. It
flows in a hilly region up to Badgaon reservoir and then through plain. River Banas
and Berach cross the project road on Chittorgarh bypass.
Further tributaries of the Berach River, namely Wanbli and Wangan, crosses the road at
various places after the crossing of Berach river. Wagan river crosses the road before
Hajiya Kheri and Bhutia village. River wagan crosses the road alignment at km 200.000
of NH-76 and Wagli River crosses the road before Narayanpura village.
There are also few ponds located along the project alignment in the vicinity of
Kishangarh, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh and Udaipur. The water level of these ponds is
dependent upon monsoon rainfall.
Drainage is a not a major problem along the maximum portion of the road alignment,
However, some problem of drainage has been seen mostly in the built-up stretches
(urban areas).

necessary because sound from noise source often fluctuates widely during a given
period of time. This is calculated from the following equation:
L eq(hrly) = L50+ (L10 - L90)2/60
Also:
• Lday is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during
day (6 A.M. to 10 P.M.).
• Lnight is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during
night (10 P.M. to 6 A.M.).

resources, terrestrial ecological survey of the project corridor have been carried out with
reference to listing of species and ecological conditions of the corridors.
As per revised classification of the Indian Forest by Champion and Seth, the natural
Forest of the tract (except that of Aravallis) has been placed in sub-ground 6-B i.e.
Northern Tropical Thorn Forest. The major plant species along the road are Babul,
Lucina, Khair, Neem, Amaltas, Khejri, Shisham, Kikar, Safeda etc., but survival rates are
very poor. It is also found that road side plantation in the state of Rajasthan is declared
as protected forest, so that permission from the forest department is mandatory for
felling of any tree along the road.
There is no endangered /endemic flora or fauna within the study area.
No national park / Sanctuary / Bird Breeding are located within 10 km on either side of
the project road however; the affected forest areas of along the project road are given in
Table 4.15.
Roadside trees will have an important impact pertaining to this project. This adverse
implication needs to be taken into consideration with compensatory plantation along
the proposed alignment. The road stretch has multiple rows of various species on either
side such as Babool, Lucina, Neem, Siris, Shisham, Kikar, Safeda etc. and dominant
species is Lucina. Entire linear plantation along the road (within ROW) is notified as
protected forest.
The project road also passes through some blocks of Reserve Forest and notified
protected forest (linear plantation) as given in Table 4.15. However, No land diversion
is proposed at these locations because land is already diverted during 4 laning of the
road.
