EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION:

1. Madhya Pradesh (MP) is geographically the second largest, fifth populous, and eighth
most urbanized state in India. MP„s total urban population is of 20.1 million (28% of total
population) concentrated in 476 urban centers. Rapid urbanization in MP has seen
sprouting of new urban settlements across the state, more often close to existing cities.
The last decade (2001-2011) has seen a 20% increase in the number of urban centers,
including a 50% increase in census towns, compared to a 6% increase in the previous
decade (1991-2001).

2. Government of Madhya Pradesh through its Vision Document 2018 has shown its
determination to face the challenges of Urbanization and has undertaken many programs to
support the urban infrastructure. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Project (MPUDP) is
one of them, which envisages financial support from The World Bank for the various sub
projects of Water Supply and Wastewater Management, in select urban areas.

SUB PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3. Nasrullaganj is a small town and a tehsil in Sehore District of the state of Madhya
Pradesh. Nasrullaganj is located in the Narmada basin at about 8 km from Narmada
River. Total municipal area under Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad (municipality) is 8.08 sq.
Km. Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad has 15 wards with a total population of 23,788 as per
census 2011. The decadal growth rate of Nasrullaganj during 2001-11 was 38% which
indicates a fast-growing trend of the city.

4. Any rapid urbanization has its own problems and woes, the major being the urban
infrastructure. To cater the needs of the civic infrastructure, Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad
is making all out efforts. The water supply augmentation project based at River Narmada
provides water @ 135 lpcd to the 100% of inhabitants of Nasrullaganj town, was
commissioned in the year 2014 under Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for
Small and Medium towns (UIDSSMT). The improved water supply to the town has
further increased Wastewater generation. The untreated sewerage of the town, through
drains and water channels (nallah), is discharged in to River Narmada which is life line of
Madhya Pradesh and a source of drinking water to many towns.

a) The proposed sewerage system is designed as Centralized system with gravity flow.
However, it was found during detailed designs that in the initial reaches (ward no. 1,5,12
and 15) of the town that the velocity and flow is very less resulting in low self-cleansing

4
 velocity (SCV) in the sewers. Considering this, small bore solid free (SBSF) sewers are
provided in initial reaches of ward no. 1,5,12, and 15 having approximately 13.28 km
length so as to allow the settled sewage to flow at a velocity less than 0.6m/s but more
than 0.15 m/s. Once the flow and velocity is achieved, the small bore section shall drain
in to conventional sewer system. This hybrid mechanism of design/implementation shall
result in a sustainable sewerage system in terms of execution by minimizing excessive
depth of sewers due to steep slopes necessary for generating velocity and shall also in
terms of operation and maintenance wherein the activity of flushing the sewer lines to
ensure SCV will be reduced considerably. Design population of the town within the area
under Nagar Parishad jurisdiction for public amenities, has been projected to 44,232
(2048, Ultimate Year for Sub Project Design).

5. The major components of the proposed subproject are:

i. Small bore solid free sewer system of about 13286 m with 100/120 mm High Density
polyethylene Double Wall Corrugated (HDPE DWC) pipe in the initial stretches of
sewer network;
ii. Conventional system 29041 m with 150 /400 mm HDPE DWC pipes;
iii. An intermediate pumping station at Talai Mohalla, Ward No.2, near nallah;
iv. Construction of a STP Based on Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR)Technology with a
capacity of 4.20 MLD for the treatment of sewage generated by 35,944 people in the
intermediate year of design viz., 2033;
v. Construction of 993 circular manholes of 900/1200/1500mm bottom diameter and
560mm top diameter including BIS marked reinforced concrete heavy duty cover
complete for the conventional gravity sewer system;
vi. Construction of 1036 brick masonry chambers of 600 x 450 mm size and 900 mm
depth for connecting the outfall from individual households;
vii. Provision of 3,107 house sewer connections for connecting wastewater from the
households to sewer line.
The estimated cost of these works is approximately INR 255.59 million.

LEGAL, POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

6. The proposed project does not attract EIA Notification of Government of India (GoI) and
hence Environmental clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate
Change/ State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (MoEF & CC/SEIAA) Other
National and State Legislations which are applicable to the proposed project are as follows:

i. Environment (Protection) Act, 1986: This is an umbrella act of Government of

India.

5
 ii. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, Rules of 1975, and
amendments: Under this act the proposed sewage treatment plant will require
„Consent to Establish‟ and „Operate‟ from the Madhya Pradesh state pollution
control board.
iii. Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981, Rules of 1982 and
amendments: Requirements of this act will be applicable both during
construction and operation phase of the project.
iv. Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 2000 and other labor laws of the
country
v. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RTFCTLARR Act 2013): No land
acquisition or resettlement impacts are anticipated for any of the proposed civil
works of the project. The act however will be applicable in general.
vi. The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending)
Act, 2014: Requirements of this act will be applicable during construction.

7. The Project is being implemented through MPUDP with the financial assistance of The
World Bank. Therefore, The World Bank‟s environmental and social safeguards policies
and the requirements agreed through Environmental and Social Management Framework
(ESMF) for MPUDP, will be applicable to this sub-project. The applicable safeguard
policies of The World Bank for this sub-project include the following:

i. OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment: The OP 4.01‟s applicable to the project.

ii. OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement: There is no direct permanent resettlement
involved due to the proposed construction activities for laying the sewer network
and other associated and linked activities. Hence, , No separate RAP is prepared.
However, the project is likely to cause temporary disruption to roadside activities
such as vending and access to roadside structures. These shall be addressed
through ESMP.
iii. OP/BP 4.10 Indigenous People: No area of Nasrullaganj falls in Schedule V area,
as per Constitution of India. The share of scheduled Tribes in the project area is
7.33% only. This ST Population is scattered across the town and are mixed with
the other social groups. Hence, no separate IPP is required
iv. OP/BP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources: No physical and cultural resources are
impacted by the sub-project. The policy however will apply, to address the risk of
indirect / unforeseen impacts on cultural properties (religious structures, etc.)
within the town, while laying the sewer lines.
v. Environment, Health and Safety guide lines of World Bank Group

BASELINE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL PROFILE

6
 8. The baseline environmental status is important to understand the region's existing physical
and biological characteristics. Environmental Profile of the Nasrullaganj subproject area is
based on secondary data on Physiographic, Topographic, climatic, aquatic and Biological
profile of the town. There are no sensitive flora and fauna in Nasrullaganj and the species
found are commonly found in urban areas. Moreover, there are no National Parks, Wild life
sanctuaries, Bird sanctuaries within 10 Km radius of the project site. Also, no rare and
endangered species were found in the project area. The climate of Nasrullaganj is relatively
temperate with an average maximum and minimum temperatures of 32.3°C and 18.4°C
respectively. The average annual rainfall reported in Nasrullaganj town is about 1100 mm.
Secondary data on ambient air quality in Nasrullaganj is not available as there is no ambient
air monitoring station in the project area. In view of the above an initial ambient air quality
monitoring was conducted by MPUDC, in October 2017 at three locations. According to
3
these monitoring surveys, PM10 was observed in the range of 50.6 to 67.4 µg/m , PM2.5
3 3
was in of 25.9 to 43.7 µg/m , SO2 was found to be in range 9.1 to 13.4 µg/m , NOx was
3.
found to be in the range 14.2 to 24.7 µg/m All results are well within the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

9. Social study was undertaken to understand the cultural and social status of the residing
community. As per 2001 & 2011 Census of India, Nasrullaganj had a population of
17240 and 23788. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. The average
literacy rate is 83% which is higher than the national average of 59.5%; with 89.11% of
the males and 76% of females are literate. Scheduled Caste population comprises 2961
(12.45%) whereas tribal population constitutes a mere 1743 (7.33%) of the total
population. Nasrullaganj Municipal Area has been divided into 15 wards for development
and administrative purposes. The total households of Nasrullaganj city are 4671.
Approximately 25% of this is below poverty line. There is no important cultural and
heritage resource notified by Archeological Survey of India or identified by the State
Government around the subproject area.

Screening of the proposed sub project

10. The environmental impact assessment of the project was based on screening checklist
method that identifies the impact level of various activities during the construction and
operation phases. Various environmental factors such as the presence of eco-sensitive
region in and around the project area, clearance of tree cover, improper storage of
excavation spoils, flooding of adjacent areas, elevated noise and dust levels, damage to
existing utilities were taken as checklist criteria for impact assessment of the project.
Social criteria included factors such as requirement for land acquisition, displacement
of tribes, loss of livelihood and gender issues.

11. Based on the Social screening activity and the categorization of potential sub-project of the
MPUDP, the present sub project of Sewerage work of Nasrullaganj town falls under low

7
 impact category, which do not have any fresh land acquisition and has a overall positive
impact by treating the wastewater of the town which was earlier polluting the river
Narmada and create unhygienic conditions. Whereas Integrated Sewerage Subprojects
involving construction of treatment plant, outfall sewers, and construction of deep sewer
lines in dense urban areas. Hence, Categorized as E a .

ASSESSMENT OF ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

12. As per environmental and social management framework of MPUDP, the proposed project is
categorized as Ea and Sc and accordingly Environmental and Social Assessment, was
conducted for addressing possible issues/ concerns arising from proposed project.

13. The anticipated impacts and corresponding mitigation measures are discussed in Phases
namely: Influence area and general impacts. Based on the magnitude and duration of the
project activities, the nature, duration and extent of impact are assessed.

14. The overall impact of the project on the beneficiary communities and the environment is
expected to be positive resulting in an improvement in the health and quality of life of the
people in the subproject area. There are no environmental sensitive areas in the
subproject area, therefore no such permanently negative or adverse environmental
impacts were identified. No social impact likely to occur due to the acquisition of land,
also Nasrullaganj does not falls under declared Schedule V area, hence does not require
any additional efforts to ensure participation of Scheduled Tribes.

15. STP and IPS for proposed project has been planned to setup on Government lands. No
squatters or encroachers in and around these sites are likely to be affected by the project.
For laying of sewer works, there will be temporary disruption to the local community in
terms of traffic congestion, access to roads, (especially in dense areas and narrow roads),
shops and residences. In congested streets, the residents have built ramps over the drains
to have a direct access to the road or pathway. During laying of pipelines, due care will
be taken to not to disturb these ramps however, in some cases such ramps may have to be
demolished.

16. Possible Environmental and Social Impacts during preconstruction, Construction Phase
and Operation Phase has been identified and mitigations during these phases have been
suggested. Various environment and social impacts identified include 1) air pollution due
to dust and noise pollution during construction; 2) disposal of waste produced due to
excavation activities; 3) loss of vegetation (maximum 10 tress mainly of Babul- Vachellia
Nilotica along the alignment of network); 4) temporary loss of access to residents, due to
laying of sewer network (Temporary shifting of vendors- Vendors (sitting on ground) - in
total 20, Kiosks to be temporarily affected: 15, Extensions like approach for houses over

8
 drains: to be temporarily affected-100); 5) temporary disruption to traffic; and 6)
temporary loss of income (approx. 145 roadside shops) etc. Such impacts would be
jointly estimated and verified during construction stage by the PIU and Design Review
Built Contractors (DRBC).

Tribal and Vulnerable Population Identification and Assessment of Nasrullaganj

17. The tribal population of Madhya Pradesh increased to 15,316,784 in 2011 from 12,233,474 in
2001. In Madhya Pradesh certain areas have been declared as scheduled area as Specified by
the "Scheduled Areas under the fifth Schedule of Indian Constitutions". None of the areas of
Sehore district is scheduled in Schedule V by Government of Madhya Pradesh. However,
Social Impact screening and assessment was done for this population in Nasrullaganj and no
negative impacts due to the project were identified on tribal people.

18. On the basis of identification, assessment and prior informed consultations, it was found
that these groups are not a distinct groups, and also do not have any separate cultural,
economic, social, or political institutions. They are well versed with local Hindi language
also. No negative impact assessed during the process, so no separate IPP/TVDP is
prepared.

STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

19. A brief summary of different stages consultation during the DPR and ESA preparation is
provided below:
i. DPR preparation Phase: Consultant representatives visited Nasrullaganj Nagar
st
Parishad on 1 June 2016 for kickoff meeting and site visits for preparation of ESA.
th st
ii. After draft ESA preparation, Public Consultations were organized on 20 and 21 June
2016, as part of the ESA study. Four (4) Public consultation, sensitization and inclusion
meetings were held within the wards (ward no. 2, 6, 11 and 12) of the project area with
the help of respective local administration and the elected representatives.

iii. In the month of April 2017 there were some modification done in the DPR and
th
accordingly ESA was revised and again public consultation were organized on 26
June 2017, as part of revised ESA study, especially in the core area and market area
of the proposed project.
th th
iv. 4 Stakeholder meeting held at different area of Nasrullaganj NP on 9 September
2016.

20. Stakeholders have been adequately consulted as part of the project preparation and
Environment and Social Assessment. Focused group discussions as well as informal

9
 discussion with local people and ULB authorities were conducted at different levels of
project preparation as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the project. The
sub-project was welcomed by the local population in general. However, the local people
were concerned about the safety during the excavation and pipe laying process. They
were concerned about the loss of livelihood, accessibility, damages to properties and
grievance redressal. One strong suggestion which was identified from consultations was
execution of construction work within a scheduled time frame with provision of prior
notice to residents, shop-owners. Their concerns, views and suggestion are incorporated
in the project DPR and EMP.

21. Although there would not be any permanent negative or adverse environmental or social
impacts, but will have temporary impacts on water quality, air quality (impact on health),
traffic blockages, safety hazards for pedestrians, possible damage to private property,
possible interruption in commercial activity, and accidental breakage of other public
infrastructure such as water pipes.

22. Social assessment clearly defines that no issue of land acquisition and livelihood loss is
foreseen in the project. Hence, no compensation provision is required. However, if any
loss of livelihood would be noticed during implementation of this project, then the
affected party will be compensated according to Environment and Social Management
Framework (ESMF) guidelines for MPUDP. A public grievance mechanism (as
prescribed by ESMF of MPUDC) is to be followed. There is a clear mention and
highlighting if the social development issues and outcomes in this report. A section
chalking out institutional mechanism, capacity building requirements and monitoring and
evaluation mechanism is also included.

23. The ESA will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed in the web sites
of Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad (Municipality), MPUDC, PMU and at the info-shop of
The World Bank. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during
project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and
have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation.
Environmental and Social Management Plan

24. Environmental and Social Management Plan. An environmental and social management
plan (ESMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative
impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures were
considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-
owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of
pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on
livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.

10
 25. The ESMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management
plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness
campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances;
(iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded;
(iv) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals,
schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (vi) use of dust-suppression methods
such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vii) finding beneficial use of
excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As
for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but
environmental and social impacts will be much less than those of the construction period
as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The ESMP includes mitigation
measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental and social
standards during O&M phase.

26. The ESMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure
efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company
(MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants
and contractors. The ESMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible
non-detrimental manner; (ii) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to
enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental and social performance on site;
(iii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the
environmental and social assessment conducted for the subproject; (iv) detail specific
actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental and social impact of
the subproject; and (v) ensure that environment, health and safety guide lines of the GoI
and World Bank are complied with. The ESMP includes a monitoring program to
measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the
mitigation measures. It also includes observations on- and off-site, document checks, and
interviews with workers and beneficiaries. The estimated cost of implementing ESMP
measures is about INR. 5.84 Million.

27. This ESA will be verified by MPUDC through its PIUs based on the final design of the
Design Review, Build and Operate (DRBO) Contractor and the relevant ESMP provisions
will be updated to address the impacts due to the design changes (if any). The updated ESA
ad ESMP will be shared with World Bank for necessary clearance and re disclosure by
MPUDC.

Monitoring and Evaluation

28. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh

11
 (GoMP) is the Executing Agency for MPUDP and is responsible for management,
coordination and execution of all investment program activities. Implementing Agency is
the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) of GoMP, which
is implementing this program via a Project Management Unit (PMU) at Bhopal, and
regional Project Implementation Units (PIUs). PMU will appoint contractors to build
infrastructure and PIUs will coordinate the construction. PMU and PIUs will be assisted
by Project Management Consultants (PMC).

29. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a Contractor
environmental and Social Management plan (CESMP) including (i) proposed
sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas,
disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following
the approved ESMP; (iii) monitoring program as per CESMP such as labour management
plan, social impact management; and (iv) budget for CESMP implementation. No works
are allowed to commence prior to approval of CESMP. During implementation, the
Contractor would be required to submit periodic reports covering ESHS parameters as
required in the CESMP.

30. A copy of the ESMP/approved CESMP will be kept on site during the construction
period at all times. The ESMP will be included in the bid and contract documents. Non-
compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document
constitutes a failure in compliance.

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

31. A grievance redressal mechanism is proposed at city level which included formulation of
a Grievance Redressal Committee consisting of an Elected Representative (preferably
female), a person who is publicly known and accepted by the locals to speak on their
behalf (to be identified by the Elected Representatives of the NNP), Community
Development officer from PIU and NNP level community organizer.

32. Affected person(s) shall file its grievance with the respective ULB, PIU or Contractor in
writing or through telephone, clarifying the area of grievance i.e., grievances related to
construction activities affecting the community or individuals livelihood or loss of
property/utility or restriction of access, and the grievances regarding the quality of service
during operation and maintenance period. The grievance shall be addressed within 48 hours.
However, if there is any technical issue, the aggrieved will be informed accordingly.

33. Project Manager of the concerned PIU for the project shall be the nodal officer for the
grievance redressal and shall maintain records of all the complaints/feedbacks received and
action taken. The meeting of the committee shall be convened as and when necessary and

12
 at such place or places as it considers appropriate; and conduct the proceedings in an
informal/formal manner as he / she considers appropriate with the object to bring an
amicable settlement between the aggrieved parties. A Government Order to this effect
has already been issued.

Conclusion and Recommendations

34. The ESA report of the proposed sub-project for Nasrullaganj Town after environment and
social analysis concludes that the project have overall positive benefits on the life, health
and environment of the people. There is no land acquisition or displacement reported to
be caused under this project. Also no permanent adverse impacts on assets and livelihood
is anticipated, hence no RAP is required as per ESMF. Only minor damage to road side
approaches to properties and loss of income for certain days at market locations during
construction phase may be identified. Such impacts shall be assessed by DBRC
contractor jointly with ULB and PIU and this ESA and ESMP will be updated and
approved by MPUDC. In Project area, no indigenous people are identified meeting the
requirement of indigenous peoples policy and hence, no separate Indigenous Peoples
Development Plan (IPDP) is required.

35. There are no environmentally sensitive areas (like forest, sanctuaries, etc.) in or near sub-
project area. Hence the impacts identified are only confined to construction and operation
phase within the project area.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Project Background

Madhya Pradesh (MP) is geographically the second largest, fifth populous, and eighth most
urbanized state in India. Although MP recorded a higher rate of growth for its urban
compared to rural population in the last decade, its urbanization rate is still below the national
average but it is projected to catch-up in the next 15 years. At present, MP‟s total urban
population is of 20.1 million (28% of total population) concentrated in 476 urban centers as
follows: 378 municipal bodies of which 16 are Municipal Corporations (Nagar Palika
Nigam), 98 are Municipal Councils, and 264 are Nagar Parishads, and 98 Census Towns -
identified as areas with urban characteristics, but not formally notified as urban. Of

13
 the 16 Municipal Corporations, four (Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior) are million-
plus cities.

Rapid urbanization in MP has seen sprouting of new urban settlements across the state,
more often close to existing cities. The last decade (2001-2011) has seen a 20% increase
in the number of urban centers, including a 50% increase in census towns, compared to a
6% increase in the previous decade (1991-2001). The last decade also saw more than a
quarter-fold increase in population of the four largest urban agglomerations including
Bhopal and Indore. In the cities in MP, household access to piped water supply ranges
between 48-80%, per capita; water supply ranges between 35 to 150 lpcd; access to
underground sewerage range between nil to 40%; waste collection ranges between 85-
90%, and 60-80% of rainwater runoff is effectively drained.

The development objective of the proposed Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Project
(MPUDP) supported by The World Bank is to enhance the capacity of the relevant State-
level institutions to support ULBs in developing and financing urban infrastructure. To
achieve the above, the project envisages the components: Institutional Development
Component, Urban Investment Component, Bhopal-Indore Super Corridor (Feasibility
Study only).

The proposed Nasrullaganj Sewerage Project is one of the subproject under the Madhya
Pradesh Urban Development project (MPUDP) funded by the GoMP and the World
Bank. Proposed project is designed to collect the sewage water from the each household
and carry it to a suitable place for providing the desired treatment before the treated waste
water is being finally disposed to Nallah (natural water channel) or Reused for the
purposes like irrigation, gardening, firefighting, Industrial & institutional supply or
ground water recharge etc.

1.2. Context of the Environment and Social Assessment

This report presents an Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) of the Nasrullaganj
Sewerage subproject under MPUDP. The ESA identifies potential impacts on the natural
environment and the socioeconomic condition in Nasrullaganj region during construction
and operation of the project. Where potential adverse effects are predicted, mitigation has
been suggested and its implementation is discussed in an Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP) and Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP)/Social
Monitoring Plan (SMP).

This project has been identified as Category Ea (Refer Appendix 2 for Environmental
Screening) project based on the environmental screening carried out for the project as per the
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) of MPUDP. This requires

14
 an ESA report and an Environmental and Social Management Plan.

With regard to social safeguards, the project has been classified as „Category S c, because
no land acquisition is expected also no permanent adverse impacts on assets and
1
livelihood is anticipated, hence no RAP is required as per ESMF. Only minor damage to
road side properties and loss of income for certain days and locations during construction
phase may be identified. Such impacts shall be assessed by D(R) BO contractor and this
ESA and ESMP will be updated and approved by MPUDC. A quick social assessment is
carried out in the project area to identify indigenous people as per Indigenous People
Management Frame work (IPMF) and need for preparation of IPP was not identified.

1.3. Scope of ESA study

The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment has been carried out at the planning stages
for the proposed Nasrullaganj Sewerage sub-project to ensure that all adverse social and
environmental impacts are taken into consideration during the design, construction, and
operation of the Project. This ESA has been prepared by independent agency based on the
th
DPR dated 12 September 2017of the scheme. The scope of this ESA study includes:
  Description of the proposed Project;
  The baseline environmental and social profile of the ESA study area;
 Review the applicability and provisions of relevant environmental and social
 legislations, including that of World Bank;
  Stakeholder consultation and public meetings,
 Prediction of any adverse impacts to the environment and on assets and income
 due to the proposed project.
  Appropriate mitigation measures; and
  Provision of an Environmental and Social Management Plan.
 Providing its implementation mechanism

The output of the above work led to this comprehensive Environmental and Social
Assessment report.

1.4. Objectives of ESA Study

The objectives of the ESA study are:
 To review Environmental and social profile of the sites and legal and regulatory
 issues associated with the proposed Nasrullaganj Sewerage sub-project;
 To assess and predict the potential impacts during site preparation, construction and
operational phases of the proposed Project;

1.5. Methodology
The ESA study was carried out based on desk review, field assessments and public
consultations with the community who are likely to benefit from the project, the potential
project affected persons and relevant Government Institutions. During the assignment
potential impacts of all stages of the project from pre- construction, through construction
and installation to operation in project area were evaluated against applicable
environmental and social standards, regulations and guidelines, the existing
environmental conditions, and issues and concerns raised by all project stakeholders. The
assessment process incorporates the following key stages:

1.5.1. Desk Review

A desktop study was conducted to review available published and unpublished reports,
development plans and maps to compile relevant baseline biophysical and socio-
economic information about the study area. The biophysical information was compiled
on environmental aspects such as Topography, Climate, Soils, Water Resources, land use
and flora and wildlife resources. On the socio-economic environment, the study compiled
information on aspects such as population, sex ratio, literacy, religious composition of
town, work force participation, share of ST and SC population, below poverty line
people, density of town, land use, housing gap and commercial activities, poverty etc.

1.5.2. Field Visits

Field visits were conducted in the study area in order to collect site-specific information
on the biophysical and socio-economic environment and to crosscheck the secondary
data. While at the site, environmental data were recorded and potential impacts identified
in the wards having high density.

1.5.3. Stakeholder Consultation

Consultation helps to develop a sense of stakeholder ownership of the project and a
realization amongst all stakeholders that their concerns are taken seriously and that the issues
raised, if relevant, will be addressed in the Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA)
process. All relevant stakeholders have been identified using the most recent and accurate
information available. The consultation process was carried out in two stages: during the
scoping and after preparation of the draft ESA. The consultation process focused on seeking
comment on key issues and concerns, identifying potential impacts and offering

16
 the opportunity for alternatives or objections to be raised by the potentially affected
parties; non-governmental organizations, members of the public and other stakeholders.
See Appendix 5 for a) list of stakeholder's consultation; and b) a summary of the issues
and concerns raised.

Public meetings

Public Meetings with the communities were conducted in the project area with the help of
the local administration especially the corporators and ULB officials. The selection of the
wards for the meetings was done based on different categories, localities and level of
problems. Several meetings were held at different locations within the project area from
June 2016 to September 2017. The discussions during these public meetings were
centered on key emerging issues relating to the project as well as the communities.

Key Informant Interviews

One-on-one interviews with government agencies and institutions in the project area were
undertaken. These interviews were conducted to augment and confirm data and
information obtained through secondary sources.

Focus Group Discussions

Focus group discussions were conducted especially with women in the fringe areas and in
slum areas of Nasrullaganj town during which the participants were given the possibility
to discuss and contribute to specific information. The participants in the focus groups
were selected based on their common characteristics from different communities. The
focus group discussions place particular emphasis on group dynamics, when issues of
particular concern should be addressed to explore participants‟ problems, attitudes, and
suggestions regarding subproject.

1.5.4. Impact Assessment and Analysis

Following the identification of all project environmental aspects and potential impacts,
the level of impact that may result from each of the activity-receptor interactions were
assessed. The assessment and analyses methodologies for ESA studies are based on the
following key components of the environment in relation to the proposed Project:

  Physical/chemical component;
  Biological/ecological component;
  Sociological/cultural component; and
 Economic/operational component.

17
1.6 Mitigation and Monitoring

1.6.1. Mitigation
Mitigation measures were taken into consideration and defined during the impact
assessment process. The results of the mitigation analysis and the mitigation measures
included in mitigation plan of the Environmental & Social Management Plan along with
detailed budgetary estimates

1.6.2. Monitoring
The following monitoring approach is proposed:
 The monitoring plan has been included in Environmental & Social Management Plan
 (ESMP);
  Joint verification and updation of ESMP based on DBRC design ; and
 The PIU and MPUDC shall monitor the implementation of ESMP and track
indicators for IEC activities, grievance redressal, participation of women, Scheduled
Tribes and other vulnerable people. Quarterly report shall be prepared.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1. Description of Project Area

2.1.1. Background
Nasrullaganj is a small town and a tehsil in Sehore District of the state of Madhya
Pradesh. The town is located in the Narmada basin at about 8 kms from Narmada River.
Nasrullaganj lies on SH - 22 which connects to NH -12 towards Bhopal in the east,
Indore in the west and Sehore in the north. There is one major economic centre i.e. Krishi
Upaj Mandi in Nasrullaganj from where commodities are traded. Geographically
0 0
Nasrullaganj lies between 22 30' to 23°20´ N latitude and 76°22´ to 78 08' E Longitude.

18
 Nasrullaganj is connected to Bhopal with SH 22 in the east at 92 kms, to Indore with NH
58A in the west at a distance of 165 km and to the district headquarter Sehore with SH 22
in the north at a distance of 73 kms. Budni at a distance of 50 km is the nearest railway
station.

Nasrullaganj is located at 440 m above Mean Sea Level. The average maximum and
minimum temperatures are 32ºC and 18.4°C. The average annual rainfall reported in the
town is about 1100 mm.

Since Nasrullaganj stands in the foothills of Vindhyachal Hill Range in the middle of
Malwa region, most of the area is an undulating plateau and is covered with black soils of
different grades. Due to this, soil of the region is productive. Babbar River flows in the
northern part of the town and Narmada River flows in the southern side of the city. A
nallah flowing in North-South direction bisects the town.

Total municipal area under Nasrullaganj Nagar parishad is 8.08 Sq. Km, which consists
of developed and undeveloped land. Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad has 15 wards having a
total population of 23788 as per census 2011. The major occupation of the people in
Nasrullaganj town and its hinterlands, is agriculture; hence Krishi Upaj Mandi
(Agriculture Produce Market) is a major activity which accounts for a significant socio
economic profile of the town. The major commodities traded from the town are wheat,
pulses and soya bean. The market is connected to the nearest major railway station at a
distance of 60 kms in Hoshangabad which through Itarsi, is connected to all parts of the
country. The produce from the Mandi is sent to the nearby cities including Itarsi, Bhopal,
Dewas, Sehore, Indore, Obeidullaganj, and Mandideep etc. Bhopal is the nearest airport.

2.1.2. Objective of the Project

The intent of the proposed subproject is to ensure that comprehensive, technically and
financially viable system for Sewerage system for the whole city. This report deals with the
preparation of ESA report of Sewerage System of Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad (NNP) area.

2.2. Existing Water Supply and Sanitation System

2.2.1. Brief Description of Existing Water Supply Schemes

The total installed capacity of the Water Supply System of Nasrullaganj town was 0.50
MLD which has been augmented to 5.60MLD under a water supply scheme under
UIDSSMT in the year 2014. The augmented capacity of 5.60 MLD shall ensure water
availability for the present and future population of the town at 135lpcd. The source of
water is Narmada River.

2.2.2. Brief Description of Existing Sanitation Facilities and Disposal System

At present, there is no proper sewerage system in Nasrullaganj town. In the absence of
Sewerage system, the untreated municipal wastewater flows to low lying areas and
pollutes surface / sub-surface water resources. Finally the sewage along with storm water
flows into holy river Narmada and also creates unhygienic living condition for the local
residents. As per the policy of State Government of Madhya Pradesh no nallah should
drain into Holy River Narmada. Some of the major nallahs in the town are-

a) Bada nallah
b) Sehore side nallah
c) Runnjankhedi nallah
d) Beejla nallah
e) Muslim muhallah nallah

The BOD content of the municipal wastewater is appx 100 mg/l as per the test report
given at appendix 1, however, this is on lower side since the sewage flowing in drains/
nallah is already diluted. The Sewage generated is collected through individual septic
tanks which are cleaned periodically or are discharged into drains along the roads. The
houses without septic tanks discharge sewage directly into drains.

Similarly, the wastewater from schools, colleges, hospitals and hotels also is
discharged into natural nallahs. Since, there is no separate system for the collection of
wastewater from meat market and hospital, the wastewater is also discharged into the
nallahs along with domestic wastewater.

The people of Nasrullaganj, owing to their good economic condition are willing to
have an integrated sewerage system, so that the sewage collection and treatment can
be done in systematic manner and the town can have a clean and hygienic
environment. The absence of water supply, roads, disposal of garbage, and sewerage
may be identified as the four most important factors affecting the well-being of people
living in slums. In the proposed project entire Municipal area including permanent
settlements and slums are proposed to be connected to the sewerage system.

22
2.3. Need of Project

To sustain the high growth rate of the town, development of sewerage system is an
important aspect of the infrastructure that needs to be developed on priority. There is also
ground water pollution posing a danger of cross-contamination for the water supply
mains. In areas where there are no toilets, there is considerable open defecation posing a
threat to public health. In all the areas raw sewage is discharged into nallahs and drains
which is a danger to public health and also offends water pollution control regulations.
This raw sewage is finally meeting River Narmada through a major nallah passing
through the town. River Narmada is the life line of Madhya Pradesh and the State
Government is committed to conserve River Narmada against any kind of pollution. The
State has envisaged providing Sewage Treatment Infrastructure in all the Urban Entities
on the banks or within a range of 10 km of River Narmada.

The poor sewerage infrastructure will also retard the further development of the city. It is
therefore necessary to provide a comprehensive sewerage scheme covering all parts of the
NNP and ensuring that the sewage is adequately treated before disposal into water courses.

2.4. Proposed Project

Proposed project is designed to collect the sewage water from each household and
carry it to a suitable place for providing the desired treatment before the treated waste
water is being finally disposed to nallah or Reused for the purposes like irrigation,
gardening, firefighting, Industrial & institutional supply or ground water recharge etc.

The project has been designed based on following Considerations,

b) Design population of the town within the area which is under Nagar Parishad
jurisdiction for public amenities. The design population for this area has been
projected as 44,232 (2048, Ultimate).

c) Providing, laying and jointing of sewer network for 100% coverage of town. The
sewer design has been carried out for gravity flow utilizing the available ground
topography of the project area to have a gravity flow system having self – cleansing
velocity, and keeping depth of sewer within limits for ease of maintenance during
O&M period. SBSF sewers are provided in initial stretches where SCV is not achieved
to reduce flushing as far as possible.

23
 2
d) STP based on SBR Technology has been provided for treatment of sewage. The STP
technology is being selected primarily taking into consideration less land requirement
and Operation and maintenance cost and effluent discharge characteristics as per
CPCB guidelines, so that treated water can be discharged into inland water ways
which are being potential drinking water sources.

The total estimated cost of Nasrullaganj Sewerage Project is Rs.255.90 million. The
details of major activities of the proposed project are summarized below:

1. Sewer Network

For the collection and conveyance of sewage from the households in the town, a sewer
network 42327 m is proposed. The network comprises a small bore solid free sewer
system and conventional gravity sewer system. The details of sewer pipeline in both
the cases are as below:

a) 100/120 mm HDPE DWC pipe is proposed for small bore solid free sewer system
for a length of 13286 m. This SBSF Sewer system is primarily proposed in the
fringe areas of the city such as ward Nos. 1, 5, 12 and 15.

b) For conventional system the details of sewer lines is as below,

Table 2-1: Details of Sewer lines

The DPR proposes SBR technology, however the bids will be invited on technology neutral basis. In case the
selected DRBO process a technology other than SBR, the revision in the ESA/ ESMP will be done. This clause has
already been included in the Bid document. The modified ESMP will be submitted to the WB for approval. The
work will be started after the approval of WB.

24
 The work shall include the excavation of trenches, bedding as required, laying of pipe,
back filling and compaction and construction of road as per original condition.

2. Sewage Treatment Plant

Construction of a STP (based on SBR Technology) with a capacity of 4.20 MLD with
3
a design population of 35,944 (2033) is proposed in the sub project. The proposed
Sewage Treatment Plant shall be constructed on Khasra (revenue) No. 123 located in ward
no. 6 at the existing Municipal Solid Waste disposal site. The STP will have a sump of 66
kilo liters, with a 30 minutes detention period for ultimate peak flow, along with two
pumps of 5 kilowatt For intermediate peak flow, a pump of 10 kilowatt for twice the
Intermediate Peak Flow and another pump of 15.00 kilowatt for thrice the Intermediate
Peak Flow of 4.00 MLD is provided. For pumping of sewage from sump to STP, a 400
mm diameter and 100 m long DI K7 class pipeline has been proposed.

It is proposed that the treated wastewater from STP shall be reused for flushing, fire
fighting, cleaning gardening and community purposes, for which the provision of
pumps of 1.00MLD capacity and pipeline of 5 km long of 110 mm of HDPE/PVC
pipe has been made. It is proposed that the pipe line shall be laid along the major
roads so as apply the water in the green areas along road. Furthermore, 500 trees of
various species shall be planted within the STP campus and around it, in a 6m thick
ring form green area all around the SPS, on either side of the approach road from
town to at least 500 m ahead of STP, on the banks of nallah (up to 500 m either side
of STP) etc which shall be watered by the treated wastewater. The remaining quantity
of treated wastewater shall be discharged in the nearby nallah section which
otherwise is carrying the untreated sewage along with storm water in the present
times. The digested sludge shall be transported to the regional landfill proposed under
ISWM (Bhopal Cluster), at Aadampur Chhaoni at the outskirts of Bhopal.
The STP shall be having RCC frame structure boundary wall up to 8 feet height so as
to isolate the STP from the transfer station adjacent to it within the same and prevent
any kind of interference between the two activities. The work shall also include
construction of all-weather road and staff quarters for operators and watchman within
the premises of STP.

As per CPHEEO manual design standards, the STP is designed for 15 years, whereas network is designed for 30
years.

25
 3. Intermediate Pumping Stations
An intermediate sewage Pumping Station with a capacity of 0.65 MLD is proposed at
Ward No. 2, Talai Mohalla, near nallah (Khasra No. 79), over an area of 250.00 Sq.
m. The pumping station will have a sump of 12KL (30 minutes detention for ultimate
demand capacity), along with two pumps of 2.00 KW for intermediate peak flow, a
pump of 3.00 KW for twice the intermediate peak flow and a pump of 4.00 KW for
thrice the intermediate peak flow of 0.65MLD for pumping from sump to main trunk.
The pumping station will be surrounded by a 6 m wide green belt.

4. Laterals
This includes providing and laying 100/120 mm diameter DWC HDPE class pipe with
a total length of 10360 m for connecting house chamber to Manholes on sewer lines.
There are about 3107 households in Nasrullaganj to be connected into the sewer
network (under conventional sewer system) requiring about 1036 house service
chambers. An average length of 10.0 m for connecting each house service chamber to
manhole has been considered for connecting the household to chamber and thereafter
to the manholes in sewer lines.

5. HT feeder line
HT feeder line from the nearest 33 KV substation (about 5 km) shall be laid from the
taping point to the sewage pump houses for uninterrupted power supply to the STP
and pumps and motors of sewage pump house. Although the HT feeder line is
proposed to be laid within the RoW, however, a rapid environment assessment will be
done after finalizing the alignment by the DRB Contractor.

26
 6. Rider mains
Rider main shall only be provided for the roads with a width more than 5m. Rider
mains comprising of 150/180 mm DWC SN 8.0 class pipe with a length of 10164 m
will be laid in a slope of 1 in 100 for a maximum length of 150 m. The pipe will be
connected to the house chambers and will carry the sewage to main sewer line on the
either side of the road.

7. Manholes
This involves construction of 993 circular manholes with 900/1200/1500 mm bottom
diameter and 560 mm top diameter including ISI marked reinforced concrete heavy duty
cover complete for the conventional gravity sewer system. The depths of manholes vary
from 1.60 m to 6.0 m as per the site conditions. For small bore solid free sewer system
232 circular manholes with 900/1200/1500 mm bottom diameter and 560 mm top
diameter including BIS marked reinforced concrete heavy duty cover complete will be
provided. The depth of these manholes will be limited up to 2.0 m.

8. House Chamber

This involves construction of 1036 numbers brick masonry chambers of 600 x 450
mm size and 900 mm depth, one for connecting outfall from individual households.
9. Small Bore Sewage Collection System with Interceptors

Looking at the existing developed areas and complexities involved in deep excavations in
narrow streets, it is proposed to use Small Bore Solid Free system (SBSFS) along with the
conventional system. SBSFS involves shallow tapping of effluent from septic tanks or
inceptors making it solid free, thus, helping in reduction of diameter of pipes required and
hence, less width of trenches will be needed. The work will include construction of 1122
interceptor tanks for settlement of suspended solid/sludge in sewage from households.

The frequency of removal of sludge from these interceptors will vary from 2 to 3
years. The digested sludge from the septic tank/interceptor will be sucked by a sewer
suction machine and will be disposed off at press filter of proposed STP. After
thickening the sludge thickened sludge will be put in to the sludge drying bed
proposed near the STP for drying the sludge. The digested sludge shall be transported
to the regional landfill proposed under ISWM (Bhopal Cluster), at Aadampur
Chhaoni at the outskirts of Bhopal.

10. House Connections

The project proposes to provide 3107 House sewer connections for the individual
toilets and waste water of the property to the sewer line.

27
 This will include

  Laying of 76/90 mm DWC HDPE pipe of 7.50 m length.

 Construction of collecting chamber/ interceptors

The most important aspect of the project is to connect each household in the sewer
network so that the raw sewage is collected and conveyed to the STP for treatment. It is
proposed that the Urban Local Body shall take up Information, Educational and
Communication (IEC) activity and create general awareness amongst the citizens to
connect to sewer network. The ULB shall be approaching the property owners at least 15
days prior to start of the work in the specific ward or zone. The ULB shall be informing
the property owner in writing as well as through camps, to obtain applications for sewer
connections. The basic infrastructure of the property essential for providing the connection
to sewer network shall be developed by the contractor as per the recommendations and
approval of ULB. For this General Arrangement Drawings for different scenarios have
been developed and included in the bid documents. There could be following possible
scenarios for house connections in conventional.

a) The houses situated on the narrow streets and in fringe areas of 2 - 3 m will be
connected to the sewer network through SBSFS.

b) For the houses on wider streets with a width of 5 m or more, the inlet of septic tank or
the inspection chamber within the property boundary shall have to be connected to
House service chambers which are then connected to Manholes and which finally
connects to sewer lines. It is assumed that the property owner shall bring the black and
grey water up to the boundary of property; however, the DPR proposes development
of infrastructure within the property boundary as stated above and connect them to
municipal network. This will be done in the light of relevant provisions of Municipal
Act and the State policy thereof.

c) The toilets built under Swatchh Bharat Mission (SBM) will also be connected to the
network through SBSFS. This will need no dismantling etc.

Accordingly the house chambers shall be connected to the outlet at the property
boundary or inspection chamber of the houses. The sewage water from households
shall be brought directly from the outlet of house so that the raw sewage is obtained in
sewer lines.

28

3.3. ESMF for MPUDP

In order to ensure sustainability of various activities envisaged under MPUDP, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF)
has been prepared to comply with the Environmental and Social regulations of GoI, GoMP and safeguard policies of World Bank. It will act as
guidance for satisfactory assessment and management of environmental and social impacts at subproject level through appropriate measures
during the planning, design, construction and operation phases of various activities of MPUDP. The framework will also help in identifying the
adverse environment and social impacts and provide specific guidance on the policies and procedures to be followed for environmental and
social assessment along with roles and responsibilities of the implementing agencies.

ESMF including Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) will be applicable for all the activities of
MPUDP, i.e., activities under Technical Assistance and implementation including operation and maintenance of all subprojects and activities.

4.1. Baseline Study
This chapter deals with the existing environmental profile of the project area. The
baseline details recorded will form the basis for the potential impacts due to the proposed
sewerage project.

4.2. Environmental Profile of Nasrullaganj

The subproject components are located in Nasrullaganj town and its surroundings. None
of the components is located in any forest land, private land or any sensitive area. There
are neither protected areas, like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, nor there are any
historically, archeologically protected area in the vicinity. The town is densely populated
in the core/old town areas with narrow lanes, and small and closely built houses, while
most of the areas are undeveloped and are still under agricultural use. Commercial areas
are along the main roads, which are generally congested with activities, pedestrians and
traffic. Site environmental Features of proposed components are presented in Table 4-
1while location of the proposed STP sites is presented in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2.

4.3. Physical Environment

4.3.1. Meteorology
Nasrullaganj has a sub-tropical climate. A hot summer and general dryness characterize
the climate of the area, except during the southwest monsoon season. The year may be
divided into four seasons. The cold season, December to February is followed by the hot
season from March to about the middle of June. The period from the middle of June to
September is the south-west monsoon season. October and November form the post
monsoon or transition period.

The normal annual rainfall reported in Nasrullaganj town is 1100 mm. The district Sehore
receives maximum rainfall during south-west monsoon period i.e. June to September. July
is the wettest month of the year and about 36% of the annual rainfall occurs during this
month. About 92.4% of the annual rainfall occurs during the southwest monsoon period
i.e. between June to September. About 6.2% and 1.4% rainfall is received during winter
and summer season respectively.

The climate of the town is relatively temperate with an average maximum and minimum
temperatures at 32.3°C and 18.4°C respectively. The normal maximum temperature
0
noticed during the month of May is 44 C and minimum during the month of December

4.3.2 Air and Noise Environment

Data on ambient air quality in Nasrullaganj is not available as no monitoring is carried out
by Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) and no environmental studies have
been carried out so far. Therefore, ambient air quality monitoring was conducted by the
MPUDC in October 2017. Three locations were selected out of which two were in the core
city with dense population. These included locations near STP site, near Nagar Parishad
th th st rd
office Nasrullaganj and near SPS site. The monitoring was done on 14 , 16 , 21 and 23
of October as 24 hourly sampling. The outcomes data (show in table 4-3) from monitoring
shows that the PM10, PM2.5, SOx and NOx are well within the permissible standards . The Air
and Noise Quality Reports are annexed with the Report in appendix 8.

4.3.3 Water Quality and Surface Water Characteristics

Presently, all the nallah carrying polluted water are discharged into the Narmada River
through a major nallah bisecting the town. There are three main nallah namely Seval Pani
Nallah of 3.5 km length, Muslim Mohalla- Kisan Colony Nallah of 3 km length and
Kolar Colony Nallah of 1.5 km length. There is no wastewater collection network or
treatment plant to treat the wastewater generated by Nasrullaganj. Proper sewerage
system covering entire town along with sewerage and wastewater treatment plants are
immediately needed to control pollution of Narmada. Following table shows the raw
sewage characteristics in the study area (analysis report is attached at Appendix-1)

4.3.4 Soil
Nasrullaganj stands in the foothills of Vindhyachal Range in the middle of Malwa region.
The most of the area is made of undulating plateau surface and is covered with black soils
of different grades. Due to this it has got good productive soil. The black cotton soil, in
general, is varying from 0.60 m to 2m in the Nagar Parishad limits. However, the other
type of soil in this area is yellow soil mixed with small sized stones.
The district is generally covered with black cotton soils covering almost three fourths of
the area. This part is occupied by Deccan Basalts. The rest part has red-yellow mixed
soils derived from sandstone, shale, gneiss. The alluvial soils are found along the river
courses. The higher elevations i.e. the hilly regions have a cover of gravel, which is made
up of small rounded pieces of weathered trap. The Vindhyas and Bijawars have a thin
cover of sandy loams. The soils in granitic area are clayey. The schist has a thin capping
of loam with lot of quartz grains. The alluvium is derived from hill slopes by numerous
streams and watercourses.

Figure 4-4: Soil Fertility Map of District Sehore

42
4.3.5. Physiography

Physiographically the district has been divided into three units based on the valleys formed
by the major rivers i.e. Narmada basin, Chambal basin and Betwa basin.

Narmada Basin Valley

2
In the district the Narmada basin valley comprises an area of about 3295 Km . The
surface water divide running between Ichhawar and Bilkisganj roughly marks the
northern boundary of the basin. The northern boundary is marked by low-lying hills and
or high grounds. The basin area is highly undulating with isolated hills and plains. The
ground elevation ranges between 300 m and 667 m. above mean sea level. The ground
slopes from north to south and east to west. Nasrullaganj lies in Narmada Basin.

Chambal Basin Valley

2
The Chambal basin valley constituents an area of about 3108 Km falling in the entire
Ashta block and the area north of Ichhawar in the district. The hilly area high grounds
occupying the eastern boundary of the district forms the surface water divide. The area
along the western boundary of district, along which Parbati River flows, forms a valley.
The southern boundary is also bounded by semi hilly area, high ground that forms the
surface water divide. The interior area of the basin is undulating with isolated hills and
elevated plains. The ground elevation in the basin vary between a minimum elevation in
the basin vary between a minimum of about 455 m in the North/North west to about
545m above mean sea level in the South/Southwest. The land in the basin slopes from
south to north in Ashta area, and from north to west in the remaining area.
Betwa Basin
2
A small part of the district, measuring about 175 Km is located in the east central part of
the district forming the Betwa river basin, drained by its tributary the Kolinos River. The
presence of elevated ground on all the three sides of the basin marks the surface water
divide. The interior area of the basin is marked by undulating topography with elevated
plains with very few low altitude isolated hills. The ground elevations in the area vary
between about 545/550 m in the south and west and about 520 in the east.

4.3.6 Topography
The northern part of the Nasrullaganj city is slightly hilly. Natural Slope of the NNP area
is north to south. A major nallah flowing from north to south bisects the town. River
Babbar flows towards the northern side of Nasrullaganj whereas River Narmada is appx 8
km towards south.
Sewage collection is effected by gravity and therefore accurate topographic survey of the
project area based on street levels is of prime importance to the design of the system and

43
 its subsequent efficient performance. A topographic survey has been carried out for city
area and a contour map has been prepared. As per the survey, the general slope of the
town is in south west direction. The sewerage network and the location of STP are
envisaged in accordance to the general slope of the town. Natural drains or water
channels also play an important role in deciding the alignment of sewerage network. As
per the topographic survey, the highest level is 299.47 whereas the lowest invert level is
287.34 which means a fall of 12.13 m. However, as stated in previous sections, a major
nallah flowing from north to south direction, bisects the town. Owing to the topography,
a SPS has to be provided.

4.3.7 Flora and Fauna

The flora and fauna identified in the study area are commonly found and not specific to
the region. There are no National Parks, Wild life sanctuaries, Bird sanctuaries within 10
Km. radius of the project site. There is no rare and endangered species in the area. The
prominent tree species include shrubs of Vachellia nilotica (Babool), Phoenix dactylifera
(Dates trees), etc. The prominent species among the fauna include Crow, sparrow and
squirrel and street dog.

4.4. Socio Economic Profile of Nasrullaganj

As per 2001 and 2011 Census of India, Nasrullaganj had a population of 17240 and
23788. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. The average literacy

4.4.4 Sex Ratio

Sex ratio is an important indicator of health and social status of women society which
has direct and indirect of bearing on other key indicators like child mortality. The sex
ratio in Nasrullaganj as per census 2011 is 888 which is lower than the state average of
931. However, the child sex ratio is 931 which is at par with the state. This indicates a
positive increase in sex ratio.

4.4.5 Industrial Activity

There is no major industrial activity in the town.

4.4.6 Tourism and religious importance

Nasrullaganj is a very old town but it does not have any building or built-form of
historical and religious importance. So, at present there is no heritage conservation or
built conservation. There is no tourism activity in Nasrullaganj town.

4.4.7 Major Economic Activity of the town

The town acts as a trading centre and commercial market for agricultural produce of the
hinterland within 40 km radius of the town. This place is known for one of the highest
soyabean production in the State. The major crops grown over here are wheat, gram and
soyabean. Nasrullaganj town serves as a regional wholesale crop market centre (Krishi
Upaj Mandi) and is an A-Class Mandi of the state. Total area of the Mandi is 25 acre.
2010-11 exports from the mandi of wheat, Chana (Green Gram) and soya bean were
68,835 tons 18,345 tons and 57,188 tons respectively. Wheat is exported to the
Maharashtra; soya bean is exported to Obdullaganj, Mandideep and Indore plants. Chana
is exported to Indore, Itarsi and Maharashtra for processing. A Gud Mandi (Jaggery
Market) and a Sabji Mandi (Vegetable Market) is located in the ward No. 10.

4.5 Land Use Pattern

The Development Plan of Nasrullaganj has not been prepared by the Directorate of Town
& Country Planning. However, an indicative land use pattern is given as under:

4.6 Outcome of Baseline Profile

Population of Nasrullaganj town as per census 2011 was 23788. The decadal population
growth rate is 38%. The density of town is very less the highest density of 30 persons/ha,
which is a clear indication of densely populated core area with most of the municipal area
lying vacant. The town‟s growth rate is fast with rapid increase in the residential area,
therefore the sub project have to capture these extended areas into network. As far as
economic status of Nasrullaganj town is concerned, the percentage of marginal workers
are very less as compared to main workers, the percentage of workers engaged in
“secondary and tertiary activities” are very high in Nasrullaganj. The slum population is
very marginal (only 2.02%).

A high literacy rate of 83% and marginal slum population is a clear indication of the
economic and social growth of Nasrullaganj.

5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Analysis of alternatives involves a thorough study of the possible alternatives to the
proposed project and its components. As part of the environmental and social assessment,
an analysis of various alternatives was carried and the same has been summarized below.

5.1. Integrated sewerage scheme vs other sewerage system for Nasrullaganj

The proposed project is formulated for the collection of sewage through small bore and
conventional gravity sewers and its treatment scientifically for accepted standards of
effluent discharge before it is reuse or disposed. The scheme is being framed in
accordance with the guidelines given in CPHEEO Manual of Sewerage and Sewage
Treatment Plant. The project is designed for small bore and conventional gravity sewers
as per the ground topography.
The designs were carried out initially for conventional gravity sewer system. The less
quantity of sewage resulting in non-achieving of SCV in initial stretches required
flushing for cleaning of these pipelines during operation and maintenance. Thus to avoid
flushing and to enhance the sustainability of the system in terms of better workability,
Non-Conventional sewer system in the form of Small bore solid free sewer has been
suggested in this project.
The proposed hybrid system comprising of conventional gravity sewers and SBSF sewers
has 3-5% lower CAPEX and 1-2% high OPEX.
Small Bore Solid Free sewer system

Small bore sewer system shall be provided with interceptor tank having 24 hours of
detention period. The suspended solids and sludge in the sewage generated from the
households shall be settled in this interceptor tank. The settled sewage water shall be
flown in small diameter sewer lines at lesser velocity up to the conventional gravity
sewers. The small bore sewer pipelines shall have the diameter of 100 mm. The depth of
small bore sewer pipe is less as it required flatter slope due to less velocity requirement.
The frequency of man holes has been taken as 100m c/c, as the sewage is solid free and
do not require any frequent cleaning.
a) Sewer Lines

The small bore sewer line shall comprise of 100mm HDPE-DWC pipe laid on design
gradient as per ground topography so as to reduce excavation and road restoration.

Source: DPR of the proposed sub project

As per the above it is clear that in case of Hybrid system i.e., combination of
conventional sewer system with SBSF sewer system the self-cleansing velocity is
achieved in almost 50% of the sewer lines including 100% in the trunk sewer and all
major arteries of the network in initial year itself. Sewer lines in conventional system
which have velocity less than SCV shall be flushed during O&M for generating self-
cleansing velocity as suggested in CPHEEO manual and given in IS 4111 part 2.

The proposed hybrid system is selected over the conventional network due to the
following reasons:

  The depth of excavation is reduced.

  The Self Cleansing velocity is attained in maximum portion of the network.
  This needs pipes with smaller dia, thus, the width of excavation is reduced.

 It is easier to work in narrow lanes.

5.2. Site Selection for proposed STP Site

The site for STP has been selected at the tail end of the sewer network at Khasra No.
123. The basic principles observed were: i) suitability for STP activity, ii) no private
land should be acquired, iii) least impact on the environment.

51
 The land parcels available near the tail end of the sewer network were agriculture lands or
private except for nala area which is in possession of the ULB and is presently being used
as landfill/ dumping ground. However, in the Integrated Solid Waste Management
(Bhopal Cluster), it is proposed to develop transfer station for collection and transfer of
solid waste of town on this land. The approximate quantity of Solid waste likely to be
generated in next 15 years is 8.986 Million tonnes per day. The area of land available after
construction of STP is approximately 1.42 Ha which shall be sufficient for storage of solid
waste for 15 -20 days within which period it will be transferred to the common landfill
site. Hence, out of 2 hectares of the land, 0.5 hectare of land has been proposed for STP.
The land required to construct STP is approximately 0.50 Ha while the available land is
almost approx. 2 Ha. The land selected is almost flat and without any vegetation (except
some shrubs).

Implementation details of Integrated Solid Waste Management Projects on Cluster

based and Regional Landfill approach in Madhya Pradesh: The State Govt. mooted
the idea of Municipal Solid Waste Management by forming a cluster of ULBs with the
concept of Regional Landfill Site through PPP mode. Implementation of Integrated Solid
Waste Management on Regional Landfill as per MSW Handling & Management Rules
2000/2016 on Design Build Finance Operate Transfer Basis (PPP Mode) (378 ULBs in
the state have been divided in 26 clusters). This project includes primary and secondary
collection from all the towns of that cluster and waste processing, material recovery and
final disposal in the Regional Landfill Site. The project‟s geographical coverage is
providing MSW Management services to a cluster comprising of 8 ULBs. The Bhopal
cluster comprises of 8 ULBs from 3 districts namely Bhopal District (Bhopal and
Berasia), Raisen District (Mandideep, Obaidullaganj) and Sehore District (Sehore, Ashta,
Ichhawar and Nasrullaganj). This project will directly impact over 23 Lakh people having
an estimated waste generation of around 1000 TPD. The project involves setting up an
Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) for door-to-door collection of solid waste
from Bhopal and neighbouring ULBs Sehore, Ashta, Nasrullaganj, Ichhawar, Berasia,
Mandideep and Obedullaganj and transportation of solid waste to a common processing
and landfill site situated at Adampur Chhawani near Bhopal. Hence, collected solid waste
will be processed and disposed in accordance with the „MSW (Management and
Handling) Rules, 2000 at Bhopal.

Nasrullaganj comes under Bhopal Cluster. The work for this cluster has already been
awarded to the Private Partner. The land for common landfill site is already in
possession. The work of common landfill site is already in progress and is likely to be
completed by the end of December 2018. These landfill will cater the Municipal waste

The present landfill in Nasrullaganj is proposed to be converted to transfer station which

means less land will be required for the solid waste of Nasrullaganj. The works under

52
 this project are likely to be completed by the end of December 2018 whereas the work
of STP will be completed within two years of date of award which is much beyond the
scheduled date of completion of common landfill site.

The site is being selected primarily because,

a) It is in the possession of Municipal Council.

b) There is a clear access road up to the site of Sewage Treatment plant.
c) The nallah flows near the site which shall be used for discharging the surplus flow of
treated sewage water.
d) The average ground level of the site is 293.00 whereas the HFL of nallah is 290 m
above mean sea level

The distance of confluence of effluent outfall (sewage discharge) in Nallah is

approximately 4.00 Km.

 As per the above it is observed that SBR process of sewage treatment is most
suitable in the light of following:

2.0 The Power consumption is optimized through control on aeration rate and
duration thereby reducing cost of energy charges in SBR process.
3.0 Area of construction is less as secondary clarifiers are not required which is
great concern in the present scenario where land is precise in the urban centers.
4.0 There is flexibility in adjusting reaction time and tank volume to meet variable
loading which is primarily due to change in sewage flow during the day looking
to peak and off peak hours.
5.0 The plant does not have any odor problem for the surrounding areas. Thus no
nuisance to the resident of nearby areas due to operation of plant for next 30
years i.e., design period.
6.0 Very less personnel is required for operation and maintenance of plant and
therefore the cost of personnel is less.
7.0 In built nutrient removal system helps in removing the nutrients.
8.0 Due to underwater parts made of stainless steel the wear and tear is very less
and therefore the Operation and maintenance cost is also less.

6.1. Introduction
This Chapter identifies and discusses both positive and negative impacts associated with
the proposed Project and their mitigation measures. Based on (relevant portion from the
design tables of the DPR) the screening and field visits and parameters provided in
ESMF for Environment and social aspects, the Nasrullaganj sewerage sub project is
categorized as Ea and Sc. The anticipated impacts and corresponding mitigation measures
are discussed in Phases namely: design, construction, operation and decommissioning
Phases. Based on the magnitude and duration of the project activities and the
environmental attributes of the receiving environment presented in earlier chapter on
environmental setting, the nature, duration and extent of impact are assessed. Minor
project impacts have also been identified and basis for their insignificance has been
provided. Wherever relevant, the ESMP also addresses the minor impacts and provides
environmental mitigation or environmental enhancement measures.

6.2. Environmental Impact

In the proposed Sewerage Scheme, direct and/or indirect impacts are generated which are
rather short-term as they are felt and manifested during the actual performance of the
construction activities. It is expected that impacts from these types of activities will cease
once the contractor completes the project and demobilizes from the site. Table 6-1 shows
the influence area of the proposed sub project components:-

Table 6-1: Influence Area details of proposed Nasrullaganj Sewerage Scheme

S. Components Impact Influence Explanation
No. Area Area
1. STP and SPS2 100 m 500 m  Impact area of STP site covers vacant land,
radius radius Solid waste transferring station, agriculture
land and drain, hence no sensitive impacts in
the STP impact area.
 Influence area of proposed STP is
surrounded by Agriculture vacant land on
three sides viz. East, West and North, while
in the northern skirts after Impact area there
is some residential area approx. after 300 m
radius, so there are no sensitive receptors in
the influence area.
 The Approach road for the proposed STP
and the solid waste transfer station are
separate, and the movement of tippers is not

68
 going to have any impact on the STP
activities. Even the proposed STP which will
be surrounded by the boundary of height of
about 2.4 m and will not have any impact on
the transfer station. The proposed land in
total (including STP and transfer station) has
4 to 5 trees; however the land parcel for STP
has no tress. Hence no tree cutting is
expected.
 STP construction works will be confined to
sites, and construction will include general
activities like excavation for foundation,
construction of foundations, columns, walls
and roof in cement concrete and masonry,
and fixing of mechanical and electrical
fixtures, etc.
 Detail of construction impacts explained in
section 6.2.2

dia diameter. The SPS is proposed at ward no.
2, Talai mohalla, near drain, Khasra No.79.
The SPS is proposed adjacent to a drain. The
total area of the Khasra is 1090 sqm out of
which the construction is restricted to 25
sqm which will be surrounded by 6m thick
green space and hence, there will be no
major impact of this activity. There are a few
shops and houses within the area of
influence, however, this impact will not be
on the structure of them and any other
impact will only be during the construction
period.
3. Sewer Network 1.0 m in each side of  Construction activity: Earth work excavation
and Nallah sewer network will be undertaken by backhoe excavator and
Channelization include danger lighting at every 100 m., and
using hard barricades, while sewer laying
works will include laying pipes at required
gradient, fixing collars, elbows, tees, bends
and other fittings including conveying the
material to work spot and testing for water

 tightness. Sufficient care will be taken while
laying so that existing utilities and cables are
not damaged and pipes are not thrown into
the trenches or dragged, but carefully laid in
the trenches. As trenches are a maximum of
2 m in the town area, there is no risk of
collapse of trenches or risk to surrounding
buildings. Once they are laid, pipes will be
joined as per specification and then tested for
any cracks of leakages. The maximum
working hours will be 8 hours daily, the total
duration of each stage depends on the soil
condition and other local features. About
60% of the excavated soil will be used for
refilling the trench after placing the pipe and
therefore residual soil after pipe laying and
refilling is not significant. This remaining
excavated soil shall be used for levelling of
ground (based on suitability) in and around
the town.
 Excavation along the roads, hauling of
construction materials and operation of
equipment on-site may cause traffic
congestions. Narrow roads in the core/old
town area of Nasrullaganj are 3m wide.
However, potential impact is negative but
short term and reversible by mitigation
measures. Prior to the commencement of
work at every section, a specific traffic
management plan will be prepared by the
contractor and will be implemented to
 minimize such impacts.
 Ramps constructed by some of the residents
may be disturbed during construction,
however, due care will be taken while
designing and deciding the final alignment
of pipeline so as to minimise such incidents.
Presently it seems that ramps of
approximately 150 houses may need to be
disturbed during construction. Potential

6.2.1 General Impacts during Subproject Cycle

Environmental and Social Impacts Pollution abetment projects may prove beneficial
for the environment and society or they may have some adverse impacts as well.
Planners and decision makers have realized the importance of understanding the
consequences of any such projects on both environmental and social sectors, and have
started taking steps to avoid any adverse impacts. Based on the major findings obtained
from the field visits and secondary data analysis, the possible environmental and social
issues with reference to the proposed sewer works in Nasrullaganj is been discussed in
these sections. The proposed sub-project consists of three major activities which
include:

71
  Construction of approximately 62.78 km long sewerage network including all required
 trunk/ branch/ lateral sewer. Construction of STP
 Construction of sewage pumping station

The construction activities would generally include earthworks (excavation, filling,

shuttering, compacting), , civil construction (sewer lines, STP, SPS, etc).

Potential Environmental Impacts: The environmental impact of the proposed project may
be categorized in two phases:
i. During the construction phase which would be temporary and short term;
ii. During the operation phase which would have long term effects

The activities identified for project under each phase are:

A. Construction phase
1. Site clearing and levelling
2. Excavation and Foundation
3. Transportation of construction materials, equipments and machineries
4. Construction of STP Units and related
infrastructure B. Operation phase
1. Operation of STP
2. Disposal of treated effluent

6.2.2 Impacts during construction phase:

The impacts of construction stage activities on the various environmental parameters are
examined below:
a) Impact on Air Environment
During the construction phase it is expected due dust generated due to earth work
operations movement of construction vehicles and emissions from the diesel generator(s).
Another source of air pollution is from materials transport through heavy vehicles to the
site. These emissions are temporary in nature. Bulldozers, excavators, cranes, welding
machines, trucks and trailers for transportation of materials will also contribute to
gaseous emissions through use of diesel as a fuel. Based on the field observation of from
the site data and interaction/consultation with stake-holders, it is expected that the levels
of dust (RSPM and SPM), carbon mono-oxide (CO), hydrocarbons and NOx (NO &
NO2) is likely to increase during the construction phase mainly because of:
 Excavation, backfilling, compaction activity and movement of vehicles on un-
 paved roads (increases dust level)
 Vehicle exhausts from construction machinery and from light and heavy vehicles
for transportation of pipes and construction material like cement, etc (increases
 NO2).
 Use of portable diesel generators and other fuel fired machinery (increases CO).

72
73
 However, the emission of NOx, SO2 will be is not expected to cause any change in the
ambient air quality. During pipeline laying the following activities cause air pollution:
  Emissions from equipment used for construction of the pipeline.
 Emissions of dust during excavation of soil

During pipeline laying, air emissions are not expected to adversely impact ambient air
quality in and around project activity area. Due flat terrain good dispersion is available
dispersal of the pollutants and thereby and thereby the impacts due to NOx, SO2
emissions during the construction will be negligible.

b) Impact on Noise levels

The proposed construction activities are expected to increase the noise levels mainly due to
plying of construction vehicles, pumping machines, use of portable generators, mechanical
machinery such as cranes, riveting machines, hammering etc. There will be an increase in
noise levels in areas situated close to the road due to movement of trucks and construction
activities. Temporary impacts may especially be felt at educational facilities like
schools/colleges, hospitals, cultural/religious centers including all religious institutions in the
region. However, the impact of truck movements and construction activities on noise level in
residential areas situated at 50 meter and beyond from the road will be insignificant
considering the excess attenuation and will be below the stipulated standard of CPCB, i.e. 55
dB(A) during day time. Increase of noise level at night may produce disturbances, causing
sleeplessness in people in the vicinity of the site in case construction activity is extended into
the night hours. As per the baseline environmental status, the noise levels in Nasrullaganj are
expected to be within permissible limits as the area is mostly residential and has limited
commercial, and no industrial area. However, these impacts are of temporary nature, lasting
only during the construction period. Traffic disruption can be expected in busy areas such as
area around Main road, Nasrullaganj -Indore Road area due to transportation of material of
construction. Current noise sources at the sites of the project are merely due to natural
sources. Man made sources include traffic noise which was negligible in the project sites due
to low traffic volumes. The construction of the treatment plant will produce significant noise
levels during the construction phase. During the operation phase, noise levels are not
expected to exceed current baseline measurements.

Construction activities will take place across the whole project components that include
Sewerage Treatment Plant, lying of sewer pipe line and outfall. In general, the impact of
the construction will depend on;
  The proximity of the construction activities to noise sensitive receivers (NSRs);
  The specific heavy equipment deployed; and
 The length of time over which the construction works are taken.

74
75
 Effective noise management protocols would be implemented wherever applicable during
construction and operating phases of the life of this project. Besides this protocol
measures, construction work will be limited to day time periods, thus avoiding the night
time which is the most noise sensitive. The following measures should be treated as a part
of the project proposal which include:
  locating noisy equipments as far as possible from NSRs;
  orienting equipment with high directivity to emit noise away from NSRs;
  switching off unnecessary or idle equipments;
  fitting of noise mufflers to mobile equipments; and
 Preventive maintenance of equipment to minimize noise emissions.

In the light of the prevailing low ambient noise levels in the area surrounding the project
sites, it is Inevitable that some noise disturbance will be experienced, particularly during
the construction of the sewer network. Such impacts, although temporary and therefore
reversible, are assessed to be negative and low to moderate significance.

c) Impact on Land Environment

The proposed project is laying of Sewerage network and construction of sewage

treatment plant. The proposed STP is in a vacant land and is in possession of ULB.
Whereas only one pumping station is proposed at location in ward no 2 Talai Mohalla.
Hence the present project does not involve any land acquisition no major impact on land
environment is anticipated. However, local land and soil may get affected during
construction work as it would involve land clearing.

76
 Normally removal of vegetation and land clearing is associated with soil erosion,
however these issued are localized temporary effect and associated with construction
phase only. Excessive debris, trash or construction remnants (e.g. dirt piles) may create
problems related to drainage, unhygienic conditions and poor aesthetics. Solid wastes
generated from the construction activities are excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded
construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items.
Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers‟ camp. Improper waste
management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of
nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. If construction materials
are handled appropriately, it may affect minutely

d) Impact on Biological Environment

No natural forest area has been observed in the study area. There are no notified
ecological sensitive locations, migratory paths, sanctuaries, etc. within the study area. As
detailed out there are no endangered floral species in the study area. The proposed project
does not envisage any destruction or displacement of any endemic floral or faunal
species; hence the impact will be insignificant.

e) Impact on Socio-Economic Environment

All the activities to be carried out during construction and operation phases will require
skilled and unskilled labourers, hence creating temporary as well as permanent
employment for local people. As the proposed project is located within the city limit with
lot of employment opportunities, it is likely to have positive socio-cultural economic
impact. This section is taken care under Bid document Annex B: General conditions of
contract, under clause 8.3.

f) Impact on Occupational Health and Safety

Construction workers are likely to have injuries and hazards as the construction works
unavoidably expose workers to occupational health and safety risks. The workers are also
likely to be exposed to risk of accidents and injuries resulting from accidental falls and
injuries from hand tools and construction equipment.

The construction of STP facilities is not going to involve the large scale construction
activities; however, all the workers will be equipped with necessary personal protective
equipments (PPE) and will be trained for safety aspects to be followed during working
hours.

g) Environmental sensitive areas

Based on observations and findings from field visits, interaction with government officials
and consultation with local residents, an assessment of the environmentally and

77
 ecologically sensitive areas was made. The area does not have any flora and fauna
components which require any special attention from conservation point of view. There is
no environmental sensitive area within 10 km radius of the project.
With regard to sensitive aquatic areas and water bodies, there are none. It was also
observed that the major land use pattern of the area is residential, with limited
agricultural and no forest areas.

h) Traffic Congestion
Due to the excavation work which will take place on the main roads of the city, there will
be a disturbance in the traffic movement. People may suffer some inconvenience during
the morning and evening peak hours. Traffic disruption can be expected in busy areas
such as area around Main roads area due to transportation of material of construction.
Any excavation along the roads in these areas will inhibit traffic movement. Temporary
inconveniences caused by construction if the project is implemented in a timely manner.
However, the same interviewees felt that they had little confidence in the ability of the
agency to execute a project in an efficient manner. They had grievances with the long
duration of construction work.

i) Impact on existing utility services

The road opening activities may damage the underground water pipelines or electricity
poles in the vicinity of the site for the proposed sub-projects. This will lead to water
supply interruptions, disruption in electricity supply and will involve expensive repair
costs. For sewerage works in the entire city, flooding could be an issue during the
monsoons, especially in the congested regions like in and around Nasrullaganj Main bus
stand, Nasrullaganj – Indore Main road etc areas. This issue may further aggravate due to
blocked drains and poor solid waste management in the city.

6.2.3 Impacts during operation phase

The impacts of operation stage activities on the various environmental parameters are
examined below:
a) Air Environment
As the STP does not involve any type of unit operations releasing the gaseous emissions,
hence, the impact on ambient air quality is not going to be affected. Odor nuisance
however, is likely to be observed from the STP operations. These are proposed to be
managed through careful operation of the plant, development of green belt around the
STP site and specific odor mitigation measures, as needed.
b) Water environment
Water resources in the project area would be the most positively benefited. The probably
environmental impacts related to water during operation stage may include unpredictable
events such as:

78
 i. Temporary flooding of adjacent areas due to accidental leakages/bursts and also
due to blockages and backlogging of lines.
ii. Water pollution and possibility of mixing with water supply line due to leakages/
overflows from the sewer lines
iii. Impairment of receiving water quality inefficient sewage treatment process

c) Noise quality
Improper handling and irregular maintenance of operating machines including pumps,
generators, air diffusers, etc may lead to increased noise pollution during operation activity.

d) Impact on Occupational Health and Safety

As the operation of STP facilities involve handling and use of chemicals such as Lime,
Poly electrolyte, Urea, DAP etc. the safety of workers invites safety considerations. As
the workers will be equipped with necessary personal protective equipments (PPE) and
will be trained for safety aspects to be followed during working hours, the impact will be
insignificant as a whole. However, the guidelines

6.3 Social Impacts

On the basis of current DPR of Nasrullaganj Sewerage subproject the locations of sewerage
works such as STP, SPS has been finalised, however the alignment of sewer pipeline and
exact sitting of the structures along the road will get finalized when the DRBO contractor
finalises his design. The land required for the structures are in possession of Revenue
department, the transfer of land to ULB has been initiated, and the possession of land will be
ensured before award of work. Hence no land acquisition or permanent impact on assets is
anticipated. Other likely impacts are presented in ensuing sections.

a) Land Requirement
No Private land is required for the project, as construction of proposed infrastructure be
on government land. Details of land identified for the construction of proposed
infrastructure given below:

(i) The STP the land near Trenching Ground with Khasra No. 123 having an area of 2.0
hectares against a requirement of 0.5 Hectares and in possession of the ULB, is selected
,
(ii) The Sewage Pumping Station has been proposed at Khasra No.79, the land being
Government land.

The land required for STP and SPS belongs to the ULB/government and is vacant. The
portion of the land required for STP is not utilised under farming or any other purposes.
Moreover there would be no loss of community assets during the construction, as noticed
during site visits and interaction with the local people. Construction of all proposed

79
 structures STP, SPS and pipelines etc will be undertaken on public land, as there will be
no agricultural or forest or community land requirement there are no adverse impacts
either on general or on any vulnerable group.

Construction of SPS may have a temporary negative impact on the nearby structures;
however, this is not a major impact since the construction is proposed on 25 sqm only.
The impact will only be during construction phase.

b) Impact on Livelihood
The excavation work may lead to road blockage and as a result the commercial
establishments and vendors may face some trouble in operating their business on daily
basis.On the basis of screening and site visits along the road stretches through which pipes
are likely to be laid reveal that there will be temporary disruption to on-going commercial
and vending activities. These temporary disruptions may result in loss of income during
construction period for certain days. Tentative estimation of loss has been calculated on the
basis of field visit along the roads, the exact estimation will be possible with the placement of
DRBO contractor. On the basis of approved design, join verification will be done to assess
exact figures and accordingly updation will be done in ESA.

In case temporary shifting of vendors with temporary structures is necessary, such shifting
will be undertaken on a weekly holiday, to avoid income loss on the day(s) of shifting. The
vendors will be assisted to shift and will be able to continue plying their trade during the
construction period at the alternative location. Only mobile vendors will be shifted to a
nearby location during the period of construction an alternative location for shifting will be
provided by the contactor. Only mobile vendors will be shifted to a nearby location

80
 during the period of construction, an alternative location for shifting will be provided by
the ULB. Table 6-2 presents the key impacts and management measures.

c) Effects on Daily Life

Resident of old habitations or areas have no provision of parking vehicles inside the
premises, they park at night in front of house area on road. During construction, they
would not be able to take out their vehicles from their house premises and and there is no
space outside for parking. Measures will be taken for providing common parking area for
a lane. Main market and shopping blocks, hospitals, schools and public buildings are
going to have negative impact during construction phase. However, temporary
approaches over the excavated space will be given to make easy access to such buildings.
Alternative parking spaces shall also be explored.

d) Labour Influx and child Labour

The construction of civil works for which the required labour force, associated goods and
services cannot be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons such as worker
unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. In such cases, the labour force (total
or partial) would need to be brought in from outside the project area from nearby municipal
towns and villages and sometimes outside the state. This rapid migration of labour to the
project area may affect the project area negatively in the terms of additional burden on public
infrastructure such as local social and health services, utilities such as water and electricity,
housing and social dynamics and thus impact on local communities. Other related issues
could be increased risk of spread of communicable diseases, and increased rates of illicit
behaviour and crime. Some of the adverse environmental impacts are illegal waste disposal
sites, inappropriate Waste water discharges, camp related noise, access roads and land use
issues. Such adverse impacts may get amplified by local-level low capacity to manage and
absorb the incoming labor force, and specifically when civil works are carried out in, or near,
vulnerable communities and in other high-risk situations.
While the sub project ESIAs would require to assess such potential issues linked to
temporary project induced labour influx, the specific impacts can only be assessed once
the contractor is appointed and decides to outsource labour.

Some of the risk factors identified are (i) weak institutional capacity of the implementing
agency; (ii) many contractors without strong worker management and health and safety
policies; (iv) pre-existing social conflicts or tensions; (v) weak local law enforcement, and

82
 (vi) prevalence of gender-based violence3 and social norms towards it in the community
(vii) local prevalence of child and forced labor. (Viii) perception of insecurity by the
local community due to illicit behavior or crimes including theft, physical assaults,
substance abuse, human trafficking etc.(ix) limited availability of affordable
accommodation and rents within Municipal area.

There are multiple and comprehensive Acts and Rules at both state and national level that
set out the provisions for appropriate working conditions and for good labour
management. However, multiplicity of laws and rules sometimes cause confusion in its
applicability in a specific context. Further in case of contracted workers and Primary
labor suppliers the enforcement weakens.
Hence, the contractor would require to develop labour management procedures and
mitigation measures in the CESMP before the start of works and monitor and update the
labour management Plan as necessary during the course of the project. MPUDC would
develop a separate training module with the help of technical partner to build the capacity
of PMU, PIU, Supervision Consultants and Contractors in preparation and execution of
this labour management Plan.

This Labor Management Plan would address specific activities that will be undertaken
to minimize the impact on the local community, including elements such as
 Communication and awareness plan on national labour and women harassment laws and

its penal implications, leave provisions and other allowances for workers benefit,
 Worker codes of conduct with respect to manual scavenging, engagement with local
residents, child labor, nondiscrimination, harassment of coworkers including
 women and those belonging to SC and STs and other minority social groups.

 Training programs on HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases, etc.
 Workers‟ Camp Management Plan addressing specific aspects of the establishment
and operation of workers‟ camps provided the ULB is unable to cater to the demand
for affordable housing for this additional workforce in terms of rentals, hostels,
 apartments etc.
 Compliant handling Mechanism for Nasrullaganj Sewerage Scheme.
The responsibility for managing these adverse impacts is being clearly reflected as a
contractual obligation of the Civil Works Contractor and Supervision Consultant, with
appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance.

6.4. Conclusion
Consultations with relevant officials including concerned officials, Municipality office,
community, other sources and first-hand observations during the field visit no additional land
is required for the project, as land is available for construction of proposed STP and also
sewage construction will not result in fresh land acquisition. Also there are no squatters

83
 and encroachers present in and around the proposed STP premises. Thus, given that there
is no land acquisition, there are no R&R issues related to land acquisition, including but
not limited to loss of property, resettlement, land regulations, etc. Sewer lines will pass
through various residential colonies of sewerage zone. Moreover there would be no loss
of community assets during the construction as noticed during field survey and
consultation with the local people. Loss of access in temporary manner temporary
shifting leading to loss of income of vendors, kiosks operating en-route would be
compensated by local mitigation measures as discussed later in the report. Based on the
overall secondary data analysis and field investigation, the proposed project is expected
to benefit the Nasrullaganj town, as the wastewater that currently flows untreated into the
Narmada river will be captured, treated and the remainder of the treated effluent will be
allowed to flow into the river. The likely beneficial impacts of the projects include:
  Improvement in sewerage collection and treatment within the cities/towns

 Prevention of storm drains carrying sanitary sullage or dry weather flow
 Prevention of ground water and soil pollution due to infiltration of
 untreated liquid waste
  Prevention of discharge of untreated sewage into River Narmada
  Improvement in water quality of River Narmada, a national resource
 Improvement in environmental sanitation health and reduction in


associated health hazards within the cities/towns
Improvement in quality of life, human dignity and increased productivity

7. STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

7.1. Background

Public consultation is useful for gathering environmental issues, understanding likely

impacts, determining community and individual preferences, selecting project alternatives

84
 and designing viable and sustainable mitigation and compensation plans. Extensive
public consultation meetings for the Nasrullaganj Sewerage Project took place while
undertaking ESA study. The main objective for the consultation process was to involve
the community at the very early stages so as to identify likely negative impacts and find
ways to minimize negative impacts and enhance positive impacts of the project.

7.2. Objectives of the Public Consultations

The overall goal of the consultation process was to disseminate project information and
to incorporate the views of the project beneficiaries and Project Affected Persons (PAPs)
in the design of the mitigation measures and a management plan. The specific aims of the
consultation process are to:

The main objectives of community consultations were to:

 To provide clear and accurate information about the project to the beneficiary
 community;
 Obtain the main concerns and perceptions of the population and their representatives
 regarding the project;
 Obtain opinions and suggestions from the likely affected communities on their
 preferred mitigation measures; and
 Identify local leaders with whom further dialogue can be continued in subsequent
 stages of the project.
 

Improve project design and, thereby, minimize conflicts and delays in implementation;
 Facilitate the development of appropriate and acceptable entitlement options;
 Increase long term project sustainability and ownership

Stakeholder meetings were held while preparing DPR. Several Public sensitization and
meetings were held within selected wards of the project area from 2016 to 2017 with the
help of respective local administration and the elected representatives. Key findings of
these meetings are presented in Table 7-2. The attendance lists and minutes of meetings
are presented in Appendix 5. During public meeting the participation of both men and
women was ensured. However, looking to the lack of participation of women, Focussed
discussions with females were also conducted.

7.3.1. Key Recommendations

Community showed concern for the unhealthy and unhygienic conditions due to absence
of sewerage system in the town. Black water flowing through drains and finally polluting
river Narmada was the major concern. Majority of participants were in favour of the
Sewerage Scheme. Some were of the view that during construction, there will be
problems for the residents; however, they were ready to volunteer to make the people
understand the importance of the project. Almost all the residents welcomed the efforts of
the State Government. Consultations with Shopkeepers in the main market were also
conducted. Key Recommendations of Stakeholders Consultations are summarized below:
 People have built ramps over the drain to have easy access to the road. In case, these
ramps/ structures need to be demolished during laying of pipe line, alternative access
arrangement for such houses / buildings shall be done. The ramps shall be rebuilt if
 needed.
  Physical relocation and resettlement should be minimized.
 Efforts should be made to prevent loss of access to livelihood activities.

 Safety is an important issue especially for children, women and cattle and therefore
utmost safety measures must be provided during civil construction works because the
depth of trench may exceed 2 meters. Accidents need to be controlled through various
safety measures.

93
  The participants emphasized the provision of diversions and aligning the way in the
 interest of community safety and environmental protection, repeatedly.
 Sewer network alignment shall be decided in such a manner that no structure is
removed or demolished. However, in case it becomes necessary, special care should
be taken for structures to come in the alignment especially in case of removing or
shifting the sacred trees, temples, mosques and other places of cultural and historical
 significance (by following the rituals and customs of community concerned).
 Utilities disturbed, if any, during excavation shall be restored at the expense of the
 contractor or be included in the cost of works and shall be restored as fast as possible.
 Grievance Redress mechanism shall be set up and a quick response to any grievance
 shall be appreciated.
 Compensations, if any, shall be decided and released to the affected person, as soon as
 possible.
 Parking of vehicles will be a major problem during construction, hence, the excavation
works shall be done in such phases that the problem is minimized. It will be better if
the excavation in a particular stretch say 250 m is done, pipe line laid and road is
restored (may be not to its original but at least temporarily) and then work in next 250
 m is started. This will also reduce the issues related to access to shops.
 Residents have constructed ramps over the drains to have direct access to road/
pathway and avoid possible accident (falling in drain). After the sewers are laid, this is
possible that some of the drains are closed. This will add to the available RoW.

7.3.2. Outcome of Women’s Participation in Focus Group Discussions

Focus group discussions were conducted especially with women in the ward no. 6 and ward
th th
no. 15 of Nasrullaganj town on dated 27 April 2017 and 9 September 2017 respectively.
The no of participants were 13 and 19 in ward no 6 and 15 respectively. Focus group
discussions were carried out as group meetings with women residents during which the
participants were given the possibility to discuss and contribute to specific information. Most
of the concerns and recommendations have already been covered above.
7.3.3. Addressing main concerns through DPR
The suggestions in all the above consultations were noted down and provisions were made in DPR.

8. GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM
In order to redress the grievance raised by any affected person during project construction /
implementation, project level Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) through a government order
shall be established as a grievance redress mechanism for the project. In addition to the project
level GRC, redress of grievances relating to Land Acquisition will be as per the RTFCTLARR
Act, 2013.

8.1. Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)

The Project level GRC shall be constituted with five persons including a female member.
 

One from the ULB / Executing Agency


Any One Elected Representative (Local Project Area)--( preferably female)


A person who is publicly known and accepted by the locals (in the project area) to


speak on their behalf (to be identified by the Elected Representatives of the ULB)


Community Development officer from PIU
ULB level community organizer or Chief Municipal Officer's representative

8.2. Grievance Redress Mechanism

Affected person(s) shall file its grievance with the respective ULB, PIU or Contractor. The affected
may register his or her grievance personally or on phone disclosing his or her identity and address.
The affected will have to clarify the area of grievance. The grievances related to construction
activities affecting the livelihood or loss of property/utility or restriction of access and the
grievances regarding the quality of service during operation and maintenance period will only be
entertained by the GRC. Grievances related to corruption will only be dealt under the laws of the
land.
The grievance shall be addressed within 48 hours. However, if there is any technical issue, the
aggrieved will be informed accordingly.
The Design Engineer in-charge from PIU for the project shall be the nodal officer for the
grievance redressal.
The meeting of the committee shall be convened as and when necessary and at such place or places
as it considers appropriate; and conduct the proceedings in an informal manner as he / she considers
appropriate with the object to bring an amicable settlement between the aggrieved parties.
A structured approach will be followed for redressing grievances. The grievance will be
addressed to the Project Manager of the concerned PIU but it will be the duty of the engineer of
the PIU on site and /or the Public Relations Officer at PIU to take orders from the Project
Manager and take immediate curative action. In case the grievance is not addressed within 48
hours, the grievance shall be sent to GRC.
The aggrieved project affected person / family may formally approach the GRC in the first stage and
submits their appeal along with any supporting documents / information. The grievance committee
shall accordingly convene a meeting (either based on a case to case basis or a clustered approach, but
without unreasonable delay). The committee shall look into the grievances and information provided
and based on this, propose ways to resolve the issues. Based on the final

96
decision, the proceedings of the GRC will be documented and executed by the ULB / Executing
agency through contractor.
If still not satisfied with the resolution provided by the GRC, the complainants can then appeal to
the grievance redress mechanisms available on CM helpline; there are two ways to access the
CM helpline
(a) The complaint will be directly registered through toll free no. “181”
(b) The complaint will be registered online by filling a prescribed format on
cmhelpline.mp.gov.in/schemes.html
Note: The MPUDC shall be linked with the CM helpline.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
9.1. Overview
The ESMP presented in this Chapter summarizes the key impact elements identified and
the remedial measures, the actions to be taken by various parties and the monitoring

activities. An indication of the time scale for implementation and cost involved is also
provided. The ESMP can be further updated during implementation with documented
procedures and guidelines for work practices so as to be responsive to the situations that
various Contract Parties will encounter. The Parties should formulate procedures and
practices and maintain records. The implementation of the ESMP should be done within
the provisions of the law, requirements of ESMF for MPUDC and for the ultimate benefit
of the people in the Project area. The effectiveness of the ESMP shall be monitored and
assessed through regular monitoring, formal inspections and at the end of the Project
when an overall audit of the works shall be carried out.

The management plan further identifies what measures should be taken in the event of
emergencies or incidents during the operation of the facilities. During construction phase
social impact on Loss of temporary Livelihood and temporary loss of income due to non-
access to shops due to excavation shall be assessed and accordingly the social management
plan be updated in line with the ESMF for MPUDP. The Plan is outlined in Table 9.1
overleaf while the estimated cost of the ESMP is presented in Table 8.2 thereafter.

9.2. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring is an important tool in establishing the success or failure of a project in regards to
compliance to environmental safeguards. Evaluation is also important in assessing the
achievement of the mitigation measures set out in the Environmental Management Plan,
performance and efficiency of the project in regards to ESMP. Monitoring and evaluation
process will involve the assessment of the following benchmarks:
  The implementation process of guidelines stipulated in the ESMP
 Evaluate impact of the project to the environment and social setting of
 Nasrullaganj Town
 Monitoring of the involvement of the community through public consultations in
decision makings and the implementation of the project

Project implementation involves various interventions to achieve the objectives of

providing safe, clean and adequate on sustainable basis and improving health and
sanitation conditions in the city. Simultaneously, to protect and improve the
environmental conditions to achieve the goal, various mitigating measures would be
taken up. Table 8.3 presents the proposed environmental monitoring plan while Table 8.4
presents the cost information of the environment management plan.

The ESMP will guide the environmentally sound construction of the subproject and ensure
efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (PMU), project
implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The ESMP will (i) ensure that the
activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active,
feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of
environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and
recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail
specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the
subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The ESMP
includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of
implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site,
document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

10. TRIBAL VULNERABILITY IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT

10.1. Distribution of Scheduled Tribes in Madhya Pradesh in Relation to India

The tribal population of Madhya Pradesh increased to 15,316,784 in 2011 from
12,233,474 in 2001.The decadal growth rate during this period is 25.20 percent. The
trends in the population of the Scheduled Tribes by residence (total, Rural and Urban)
for Census Years 1961- 2011 shows that the percentage of Scheduled Tribes
Population in the Rural Areas (11.3 percent) much higher that Urban Population (2.8
percent). In Madhya Pradesh certain areas have been declared as scheduled area as
4
Specified by the Scheduled Areas under the fifth Schedule of Indian Constitutions .
List of Schedule Areas in Madhya Pradesh is provided in Appendix. The 8.61 percent
of the Indian population is classified as ST. In comparison to the national figure,
Madhya Pradesh has 14.7 percent of its populations classified as ST. The major tribes
and list of scheduled V areas of Madhya Pradesh are classified in Appendix.
Nasrullaganj area is not falling under Scheduled V areas declared by Government of
India. The composition of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe at district level
(including rural and urban areas) are 232244(11.12%) and 769778 (36.82%) out of
total population of 2090922, whereas Nasrullaganj Nagar Parishad is having 12.45%
of Scheduled tribe and 7.33% Scheduled caste population

10.2. Presence of Indigenous People.

The identification of Indigenous people in project area done on the basis of secondary
information:
1. Share of scheduled tribe population in project area as per census 2011 and
2. Declaration of scheduled V areas by Ministry of tribal welfare.
On the basis of above information, the share of scheduled tribe and vulnerable
composition in project area is given in Table 10.1.
Table 10-1: Social Composition in Nasrullaganj Town
Social Composition Population Percentage of population
SC 2961 12.45%
ST 1744 7.33%
Others 19083
Total Population 23788
(Source: Census, 2011)
An assessment based on free, prior and informed consultations with the tribal
communities indicated that in a few wards they have more concentration . However, as
Sehore district is not listed in the scheduled V declared by Government of Madhya
Pradesh and no negative impact of project on Indigenous people has been found in
Social Impact screening conducted on different aspects, the IPP plan is not required for
IPs but the active participation of all the residents of Nasrullaganj including Women
and SC and STs shall be ensured during construction and operation phase through
project site level meetings.

Scheduled areas are autonomous areas within a state, administered federally, usually populated by a
predominant Scheduled Tribe.

138
10.3. Public Consultation
During the entire planning phase, an effort has also been made to help people
understand the positive impacts and benefits from the project for them in terms of,
reduction in the sewer disposal problems, minimization of health risks through
provisions of sewerage scheme,. The process has helped in building confidence
amongst the residents of different wards of Nasrullaganj including SC and STs and
mainstreamed them in the process and making them partners in the project. For
consultation the wards selected on the basis of highest population of SC/ST in NNP.

10.3.1. Key Issues identified during Consultations

The key issues identified during consultation with vulnerable groups are:
 Few people having individual toilets with septic tanks, they haven't showed
willingness in project as they have the opinion that Sewer connection may
 damage their tanks.
 People complaint about contaminated water due to leakage in septic tanks
 of some houses.
 No provision of community toilets in slums, the problem of open defecation
 faced by women.
  Those having individual toilets demanded connection to their toilets.
 Safety measured during excavation must be ensured as some working couples
leave their small children at home.

10.3.2. Interview/Meetings
An enquiry was made with concerned department officials/representatives, running
different social and economic welfare schemes for Tribal groups. Information was
gathered about socioeconomic, religious and culture status from officials. During
discussion with officials it was found that tribal people mainly migrated from rural to
urban areas for their livelihood and for education. They do not reflect primitive
characters (like living in groups, culture and dialect).

10.4. Other Vulnerable Population

The scheduled caste, Women headed household, destitute & disabled are being
considered as vulnerable groups. The population of Scheduled caste in Nasrullaganj
comprise of 12.5% appx of total population.

10.5. Inclusion of Tribal and Vulnerable Population during Implementation

Implementation comprise of gaining continued support of the tribal and vulnerable
people in the project area, during project implementation.

Free prior informed consultations during design finalization stage and construction
stage will be carried out at two levels (i) consultation with communities for laying the
lateral pipes, collection chambers and connection to toilets, (ii) for participation in
capacity building and awareness generation activities for mainstreaming. The detailed
plan will be chalked out by PMU and PIU once the DRBO contractor is onboard. The
awareness programme will be held through separate NGO.

139
11. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Environmental Social Assessment (ESA) Study was carried out based on field
assessments and public consultations with the community who are likely to benefit or to be
affected by the proposed Project and the Proponent in compliance with the agreed ESMF
for MPUDP, World Bank safeguard policies and EIA Notification 2006 of GoI. The
project report of the proposed sub-project for Nasrullaganj City after environment and
social analysis concludes that the project have overall positive benefits on the life and
environment of the people. No land acquisition or livelihood losses are expected due to the
project.

The sewerage network will provide improved environmental conditions due to the contained
handling of wastes, leading to improved public health conditions and will likely reduce the
average medical expenses of the residents in the project areas. Because of the sewer line
connection, all the waste water will be collected and directed to treatment plant, which only
after treatment will be disposed off to the river, hence decreasing the pollutant load in the
river. Connection to sewer lines will enhance the aesthetic value of the area, as there will be
more cleanliness and no wastewater discharge to open area. This will also lead to appreciation
in the property value. This will eventually lead to increase in standard of living of the people in
the project site.

There are no environmentally sensitive areas (like forest, sanctuaries etc.) in or near sub-
project area. Also there are no archeological and historical protected areas/ sites within or
near the town. No land acquisition is expected nor is any permanent adverse impacts on
assets and livelihood anticipated, hence no RAP is required as per ESMF. Only minor
damage to road side properties and loss of income for certain days and locations during
construction phase may be identified. Such impacts shall be assessed by DRBO contractor
and this ESA and SMP will be updated and approved by MPUDC and World Bank. In
Project area, no indigenous people are identified meeting the requirement of IPMF, so no
separate IPP is required. Hence the impact identified are mostly related to construction and
operation phase.

The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) most of the
individual components involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will
be mainly localized; (ii) in most cases the predicted impacts are likely to be associated
with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving
excavation, obstruction at specific construction locations, and earth movements; and (iii)
being located mainly in the already constructed facilities and built-up area will not cause
direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. The potential adverse impacts that are
associated with design, construction, and operation can be mitigated to standard levels
without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application
of mitigation measures and procedures as given in ESMP.

Based on the Social screening activity and the categorization of potential sub-projects of the
MPUDP- ESMF, the present sub project of Sewerage work in Nasrullaganj town falls under
low impact category since no significant issues arise from the land to be acquired for Sewage
treatment plant and pumping station. In view of the above, these sub project would require
preparation of an Environmental and Social Assessment, as part of the DPR, and
implementation of Generic Safeguard Management Plan (SMP), relevant to the project.
On the other hand based on the Environmental Screening activity, the propose dsub project
falls under high impact category.

 2 (B): Criteria for Categorization

Environmental Categorization of Subprojects

The urban infrastructure projects are expected to improve general living standards within
urban localities. However, depending on location and the nature of project activities these
projects will have varying impacts on environment. An underground sewerage scheme may
cause impact due to disposal of treated effluent and sludge; water supply project may be
associated with over exploitation of water resources and downstream users, and disposal of
sludge etc. Similarly, construction activities may have impacts on the sensitive receptors and
increase in air and noise pollution. The rigor of environmental assessment required to identify
and mitigate the impacts largely depends upon the complexities of project activities.
To facilitate effective screening and address the issues from infrastructure projects, MPUDP
has categorized the projects into different categories – Ea, Eb and Ec linked to severity of
5
impacts and regulatory requirements. The E a, Eb and Ec categories are defined in table 3.3.
Various projects depending on their sector, components involved, location vis-a-vis the
surrounding environmental setting, will generate different adverse impacts that would need to
be mitigated. Also, depending on the safeguards applicable (according to lender‟s
requirements) and environmental regulation applicable, the environmental significance of the
project will vary. In order to enable a priority based project screening and assessment, project
categorization criteria is proposed as explained in the section below to assign an
environmental category to the projects:

It should be noted that this categorization refers to the categorization of subprojects done for MPUDP,
and should not be confused with the classification of overall Projects given in OP4.01 of the World Bank. As
per safeguard policies of the World Bank, MPUDP has been categorized as a Category A project.

149
 Social Categorisation of Subprojects

During the screening process the social risks will be assessed through the screening
formats submitted by the borrower along with the loan application. Screening formats
are given in Appendix and screening checklist for project towns are provided in
Volume-II. Based on the screening, the social category of the project is determined and
necessary SIA and related RAP/ ARAP as applicable shall be prepared. Based on the
magnitude of impact to the Project Affected Persons(PAPs) through screening of
6
projects, projects have been categorised as either Sa, Sb or Sc outlined in Table below.

The social categorization will be done based on the social screening information
provided by the ULB. However, based on the outcome of Social impact assessment,
the category will be revisited at the time of appraisal of each subproject.

It should be noted that this categorization refers to the categorization of subprojects developed for
MPUDP, and should not be confused with the classification of overall Projects.
