EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 Project Description

1. GoHP’s program for transforming state level transport institutions, improving mobility and logistics for horticulture and overall economic growth in HP, connecting HP to the Bharatmala network, and enhancing Road Safety, sets the goal for the institutional transformation envisaged to be implemented under the proposed project. The proposed Project Development Objective is to enhance the efficiency of the transportation, logistics and Road Safety institutions to stimulate horticulture and overall economic growth in Himachal Pradesh.

2. The proposed operation comprises the following: Component 1: Building HP’s Transport and

Logistics Institutions, and Resilience; Component 2 - Improving fruit belts stimulating HP’s horticulture and overall economic growth. This component will finance upgrading priority target collector roads/MDRs. Component 3: Enhancing Road Safety. Under Component 2 upgrading of approximately 90.95 km of roads connecting small holding farmers production and primary processing clusters to wholesale markets/SME clusters. The implementation of the core initiatives of the project is expected to result in: i) Improved efficiency of transport and logistics institutions; ii) Reduction in maintenance expenditure; iii) Reduction in transport cost for transporting products from production clusters to SME/wholesale markets along the project roads; iv) Reduction in road accident fatalities per 100,000 population in pilot areas.

2.0 Sub-project road– Dadhol-Ladrour

3. The Dadhol-Ladrour road is 13+500 Km and is designated as OSR-9 (Other State Road) is one of the four priority corridors proposed for upgradation. The project road traverses entirely within Bharari tehsil of Bilaspur district and connects to SH-32 at Ladrour end and also to National Highway (NH-103) at Dadhol. The altitude of project corridor ranges between 697-981 m above mean sea level. The existing width of carriage way (bitumen paved width) of the project road varies between 3.0 m to 3.3m in rural areas and varies between 5.0 mtr to 7.1 mtr in settlement/built-up areas. The existing pavement condition of the project road is in distress condition at several intermediate stretches, except for initial stretch of 3 kms. Other aspects observed included: severe cracking, patching & potholes, besides which the current Pavement condition surface is bad and undulations are predominant.

4. There are 15 settlements along the project road. Some of the big settlement areas along the project road are Padyalag, Gahar, Gatwar, Ladhyani, Bharari, Mihara and Ladrour. These locations do not have any schedule V areas or tribal households. The proposed improvement/widening scheme of project road comprises concentric widening, eccentric widening and as well as geometric improvements at necessary locations taking into account locations with blind spots and areas prone to landslides. Design improvement in the project road is done taking into consideration of lane configuration, widening scheme, speed, embankment height and the rural but mountainous setting of the road. There are no associated facilities in this proposed project section. Also, as no other multi-lateral or bi-lateral financing institutions are involved in this project in any of the upgradation or maintenance corridors, hence there is no requirement for a Common Approach.

3.0 Purpose and Scope of ESIA

This ESIA is based on detailed designs dated October 8, 2019. Based on this ESIA the design team is updating the designs [to reduce the proposed right of way to minimum required keeping in view safety considerations, geometric improvements, vehicular population, hill cutting with a view to minimize impacts on land, assets including structures, forest areas and trees] prior to formal WB appraisal.”

5. The overall project risk was categorized as ‘High’ as per the internal Environment and Social Risk Classification of the World Bank and hence the ESIA was prepared by an independent ESA consultant. The purpose was to: i) identify, evaluate and manage the environment and social risks and impacts of the project in a manner consistent with the ESSs; ii) adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach to the project’s E&S risks; c) help identify differentiated impacts on the disadvantaged or vulnerable and to identify differentiated measures to mitigate such impacts, wherever applicable; d) assess the relevance and applicability of environmental and social institutions, systems, laws, regulations and procedures in the assessment, development and implementation of projects, whenever appropriate; identify gaps, if any exist, and to assess borrower’s existing capacity and identify areas for enhanced capacity towards management of E&S risks.

6. The scope of the ESIA is to: i) assess the existing baseline status of the environment with in Corridor of Impact and Project Influence Area; ii) identify the probable adverse and positive E&S risk and impacts due to the planned project during its entire cycle i.e. from preconstruction to construction to operation & maintenance; iii) consider all ESHS likely in the project for further usage towards preparation of requisite mitigation plans, as may be required; iv) identify capacity constraint of HPRIDC in respect of E&S management and propose commensurate capacity enhancement measures, etc.

4.0 Legal and Institutional Framework

7. Key GoI and GoHP provisions applicable to the sub-project are summarized here and these include: Environmental Protection Act, 1986; The Forest (Conservation) Act. 1980; Biological Diversity Act, 2002; Construction & Demolition, Waste Management Rules, 2016; Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981; Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control Act) 1990; Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR); Acquisition of Land by Private Negotiation and Upkeep of Land Record/General Guidelines and Instruction, 2018; The Right to Information Act, 2005. Further WB’s Environment and Social Policy and Standards 1, 2-6, 8 and 10 are relevant to this sub-project, besides the World Bank’s Guidance note on Management of Labor Influx, 2016. In addition, the project will be implemented within the framework of all applicable labor laws of GoI. Hence provisions and measures through action plans would need to be prepared to meet the requirements of the ESS.

5.0 Environment and Social Baseline

8. The proposed project is located in District Bilaspur of Himachal Pradesh state. The baseline E&S profile of project influence area covering 15 km radius of the project as well as Bilaspur district. The project road lies in the range of 248-1141 m. The maximum and minimum elevation of the project road is 981m at km 13+300 and 697 m at Km 0+900. The project road traverses majorly along agricultural lands. Millets are the most dominant agricultural crop, which can also be seen in cultivable lands along the project road. The climate of the district is temperate to sub- tropical. The project road falls within the jurisdiction of Bilaspur division, but there are no forest areas along the 13.5km long Dadhol-Ladrour road. There are no National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Biosphere Reserve and any other notified sensitive area within 15km on either side of the project road. Further, no wildlife crossing corridors are reported along the project corridor.

9. The project road passes through 15 villages of Bharari sub-tehsil (administrative unit) and the adjacent tehsil is Ghumarwin tehsil. Socio-economic data from secondary sources has been collected and analysed from Bharari sub-tehsil and Ghumarwin tehsil and it has been called as “project influence area”. The total population of Bilaspur district with 381,956 comprising 192764 (50.46%) males and 189192 (49.53%) females, shows that the male population is nearly equal to the female population. Out of the total population of the district 93.42 per cent are in

6 | P a g e

rural areas while mere 6.58 per cent are in urban areas. The male and female ratio of the district is 981 females per every 1000 males. It is higher than the national average. As per census 2011, the average sex ratio of India was 940 females per 1000 male. Among the total population of district, 2.8% (10693) are Scheduled Tribes, 25.92% (98,989) are Scheduled caste population and 71.28% (272274) people belong to other castes. Among the total population, 84.59% of the people are literate and 15.41% of the people are illiterate excluding the 0-6 age group population. This shows that most of the population is literate. Among the literates 91.16% are males and 77.97% are females. This shows that the male literates are more than the female literates. The project influence area/district had an average family size of 4.7 persons per household on 2011. This is moderate family size and comparable with the other part of the district. The density of population of the project influence area/district works out to about 327 persons per km2 in the district.

10. In respect of socio-economic profile of the affected families, 136 families were surveyed. Most of the households are staying along the roadside from a long time where in nearly 78.03% of them are living since more than 10 years. About 21.97% of them are found to have settled in the last 5-10 years.. Analysis on literacy level of the head of the affected household shows that all of them are literates except around a negligible percent 12.12 percent is illiterates. The average household size for the project affected population is 3.6. The work participation rate is 37.26 per cent in the study area is higher than the national work force participation of 39.1 per cent. Distribution of occupation wise details shows, most of them are engaged into commercial activity of trade/business, petty shop, services (44.69 %) followed by agriculture, non-agriculture labour (24.24%), household industries consists 0.76 percent. The incidence of Govt. Employees, Private Employees and Others is around 16.67 percent, 13.64 percent respectively. The income levels of majority of the households fall under higher middle-income category earning more than Rs. 4,00,000 per annum (81.77%). The incidence of lower-income families is about 3.32 percent who earn below 1,80,000 per annum. About 7.5 percent of them are middle income families who are earning Rs. 1,80,000 to 4,00,000 per annum. The expenditure pattern of the affected household’s show that majority of them have an average monthly expenditure above Rs.30,000 per month.

11. Of the total female population, around 50 percent populations are in the age group between 15-40. Around 23 percent women population is in the age group of 6-14. There are 4.63 percent women population is in the age above 60. It can be seen from the following table that of the total female population those who are in the age group above 6, are 2.14 percent are illiterate. There are 32.56 %, 15.60%, 18.64% and 14.21% are primary, middleclass, SSC and pre-university educated. Around 7.26 % are degree holder. There are 6.34% and 3.25% are technically qualified and post graduate degree holder. In respect of occupation, there are about 72.32% of women member engaged in cultivation. Only 4.24% of women members are involved in other activities, 65.25% women are involved in collection of water, 21.21% are engaged as an agricultural labors. 13.74% are helping their family members in trade and business. Only 5.25% women are in service and merely 20.81% of women are worked as allied activities.

6.0 Stakeholder Consultations

12. Consultations were also held with communities at various locations en-route and also specifically at locations where common property resources were getting affected. Consultations were also held with communities at various locations en-route and also specifically at locations where common property resources were getting affected. Key queries and concerns were relating to: what compensation will be paid to title holder and non-title holders; avoidance of impacts on CPRs such as temples used for various religious and community purposes; project authorities to consider available open land wherever it was available instead of impacting their house and land;

7 | P a g e

safety measures in hospital and school zones; construction works should lead to jobs. They suggested that project should have provisions for parking are must in the city area; should take up the structural works (bridges and culverts) in priority during the early phase of the project cycle or otherwise these works mostly gets delayed; provide for noise barriers to minimize the noise pollution; additional assistance for employment/ income restoration for locals; and necessary measures to be taken during the construction stage to reduce and/avoid pollution and health risks at the time of construction

7.0 Analysis of Alternatives

13. Lane configuration is being done in keeping in view safety considerations, geometric improvements and vehicular population. At built up/ village sections where the road width is insufficient for expansion, design alternatives include options for realignments and for modifying the proposed road designs, such as reduction of the shoulder widths, have been used. Reducing design speed in built up areas; providing suitable safety measures, such as speed reductions near schools and hospitals have been incorporated in the design. Hence in light of the ESIA, impacts were minimized at least three locations. These included: i) dense Built up area- 5+700 - 6+860 (Ladhyani & Bharari); ii) Lehri sarel, Kothi (Chainage 7+300 – 9+300) and iii) Bharari (6+700) Government Secondary School. At these locations analysis of alternatives such as keeping the lane configuration as intermediate lane; concentric widening in the built-up sections (9 – 10m); curve improvements within the available ROW and realignments to reduce impacts, have been considered. Hence, vide this approach that was considered as part of the Mitigation Hierarchy, the preliminary/draft designs are being further revised again to reduce impacts on land, assets and forest area including trees.

8.0 E&S Risks and Impacts

14. The project’s environmental and social risks and impacts likely due to the project road by each relevant standard (ESS 2-6 & 8) have been assessed based on the current designs and also measures to mitigate the same have been proposed.

15. E&S risks and impacts on Disadvantaged and Vulnerable persons: Project shall define vulnerable persons as: those ‘Below Poverty Line’ category as identified by the concerned State Govt. level, SC, ST, disabled, handicapped, orphans, destitute persons and woman heading the household are also recognized as vulnerable persons. Based on the survey, the Project shall affect 48 vulnerable households – 45 (Scheduled Caste) and 3 (Scheduled Tribe).

16. E&S risks on labor and working conditions: HPRIDC shall contract agencies to undertake civil works, agencies/firms to support core-functions; primary suppliers of material/equipment and other implementation support partners. All categories of project workers: Direct workers, Contracted workers, Migrant Workers and Community Workers would be involved. At this stage, it is estimated that the project will require to engage 560 labor (including project managers, supervisors, labor, etc.) Risks include: Non-payment of wages by Employer; Non-payment of benefits (compensation, bonus, maternity benefits etc.) by Employer; Discrimination in Employment (e.g. abrupt termination of the employment, working conditions, wages or benefits etc.); Possibility of Gender based violence as the road shall traverse through sensitive locations such as hospitals, schools, etc. that are near to habitations; Health risks of labour relating to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

17. E&S risks and impacts relating to Resource efficiency and Pollution Prevention: The assessment of impacts and risks due to road constructions has considered sensitive receptors of physical, biological, social, and cultural environment. In addition, natural calamity like landslide, earthquake and flooding were also considered during assessment due to location of road in such sensitive geography. The project’s impacts and risk would be of significance on sensitive

8 | P a g e

receptors due muck disposal; slope stability and erosion (2 locations); blocking or filling of springs and seasonal streams (3 number); construction water demand (26.7 million Liters); stressing water sources used by community (absence of perennial water sources); emission from construction vehicles, equipment and plants; dust from earth works, hill cutting, stack yard, transportation of materials;, noise pollution (2 schools) and settlements along road; damage to structure vibration from movement of machine and equipment (structure on embankment); handling of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, quarry and borrow area. The design optimisation is still being done and options are being analyse to minimise project’s footprint on social and environment including GHG calculation, resource efficiency etc.

18. E&S risks and impacts relating to Community Health and Safety: The road will act as haul road for transporting construction materials will cause nuisance to local road users (road users and pedestrians). Additionally: i) hill cutting, landslides, road excavation, use of vibratory equipment, construction debris handling and disposal etc. during construction; ii) high likelihood of direct exposure to increased construction related traffic and equipment especially at road sections traversing settlement area with limited carriageway/roadway width, and sensitive receptors such as schools, religious place, health centre/hospitals; iii) high dust levels from earthworks/hill cutting, high noise and emission level from traffic congestion and idling of vehicles; iv) influx of migrant workers could potentially cause local discomfort or potential conflicts with local people including possible Gender based violence.

19. E&S risks and impacts on land & assets (ESS 5): As per the available right of way information

provided by PWD units and revenue officials there is no additional land that needs to be taken. The total numbers of families affected are 136– all of which are non-titleholder encroachers. These structures of these affected families are mainly residential, commercial and mix of residential and commercial, besides others such as cattle sheds, etc. In addition, there are 48 CPRs that comprise Schools (3), Religious structures (4), and Hand Pump (29). These also comprise 6 vulnerable households comprising 1from Scheduled Tribes (ST) and 5are from Scheduled Caste (SC) categories.

20. E&S risks and impacts relating to Bio-diversity & Living Natural Resources (ESS 6): There are no presence of rare, endangered and threatened flora species along project road. However, invasive species like Ageratum conyzoides, Eupatorium adenophorum, Lantana camara, Parthanium hysterophoros are observed, which are being managed through Forest Department, GoHP. The construction of road is likely to affect 75 of 3614 trees existing within right of way. No rare, endangered and threatened floral species are identified within the corridor. Monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis) was observed along the road, which is listed under Schedule-I (part III) of Wildlife Protection Act-1972. The biodiversity investigation along the project corridor has not indicted the presence of any scheduled fauna. Hence, the project road construction is not likely to cause any impacts on the fauna.

21. E&S risks and impacts relating to Cultural Heritage: The alignment of the project road does not have any ancient monuments and/or archaeological site(s). However, 1 religious’ structures/shrines are expected to be partially impacted by the proposed road improvement activities. Extent of impact including on access on these structures, could vary depending on the final designs during preparation and potential modifications during construction stage.

22. Mitigation measures have been proposed based on current designs and these would be further revised based on the final road designs.

9 | P a g e

9.0 Key issues/findings and inputs to ESCP

23. Few gaps exist in the provisions in policies between government acts/policies and World Bank’s ESS requirements that need to be filled. Institutional arrangement to address E&S aspects are currently relatively weak and need significant strengthening. GRM is decentralized and ad-hoc and requires systematic recording of grievances and redressal

24. Further action needs to be taken to: i) to verify existing ROW and obtain clearances, licenses/approvals and permits under existing legal framework that are applicable to the Project from relevant national and/or local authorities; ii) describe the policy, institutional and implementation framework to guide the compensation for loss of land and assets and ensure that no affected persons are displaced without proper consultation and compensation; iii) develop mechanisms to foster greater participation of more passive members of the community, including disadvantaged persons, women and vulnerable groups; iv) develop clear procedures for disseminating information about the project to all affected communities and provide a feedback mechanism for these communities to voice their concerns and address these concerns during project implementation. Trainings on Environment and Social aspects including reporting requirements need to be prepared and administered to build capacity of the project staff.

25. Key measures and timeframes required for the project to meet the requirements of the ESSs are as follows: i) HPRIDC will establish and maintain an E&S organizational structure in HPRIDC with qualified staffs to support management of E&S risks including at least one Environmental Expert and one Social Expert; ii) HPRIDC to provide draft consolidated ESIA; iii) Disclose Draft Consolidated Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the road corridor on Department website and WB portal; iv) Disclose Draft Stakeholder Engagement Plan; v) HPRIDC to disclose approved RPF on its website and HPRIDC to develop and include the project grievance mechanism in SEP and vi) disclosure of the approved ESCP; vii) HPRIDC to prepare a Resettlement Policy Framework for the overall project including rehabilitation and maintenance corridors. These actions would need to be completed before the Project Appraisal in December 2019. The following documents - ESMP (EMP, RAP) and GBV Plan would need to be completed prior to project negotiations in January 2020.

5. The implementation of the core initiatives of the project is expected to result in: i) Improved efficiency of transport and logistics institutions; ii) Reduction in maintenance expenditure; iii) Reduction in transport cost for transporting products from production clusters to SME/wholesale markets along the project roads; iv) Reduction in road accident fatalities per 100,000 population in pilot areas.

1.2 Sub-Project Road – Dadhol to Ladrour

6. Under the project the following four corridors are being taken up for upgradation. Details are provided in Table 1.1

Table 1.1 – Roads proposed for upgradation under HPSRTP II S.No Name of the Road District Length (in Km)

1 Baddi – Sai – Ramshahr Solan 35.950 2 Dadhol – Ladrour Bilaspur 14.500

3 Mandi – Rewalsar – Kalkhar Mandi 28.000

4 Raghunathpura-Mandi-Harpura- Bharari Bilaspur 2.500

7. The Dadhol-Ladrour road is 13+500 Km and is designated as OSR-9 (Other State Road). The project road traverses entirely within Bharari tehsil of Bilaspur district and connects to SH-32 at Ladrour end and also to National Highway (NH-103) at Dadhol. The latitude of the project road at Dadhol and Ladrour are 31.29’.52” N to 31.34’.22” N respectively and Longitude is 76.29’.52” E to76.40’.07” E respectively. The altitude of project corridor ranges between 697-981 m above mean sea level.

Figure 1.1: Start Point and End Point of Project Road

8. There are 15 settlements along the project road. Some of the big settlement areas along the project road are Padyalag, Gahar, Gatwar, Ladhyani, Bharari, Mihara and Ladrour. Out of the total 13.5 km length, the built-up areas of the settlements extend to 4 km, which is about 30% of the road length.

9. The existing width of carriage way (bitumen paved width) of the project road varies between 3.0 m to 3.3m in rural areas and varies between 5.0 mtr to 7.1 mtr in settlement/built-up areas. The existing pavement condition of the project road is in distress condition at several intermediate stretches, except for initial stretch of 3 kms. Other aspects observed included: Severe Cracking, Patching & Potholes, besides which the current Pavement condition surface is bad and undulations are predominant.

12 | P a g e

10. The available right of way for the project road varies between 12m to 18m, with minimum being

12m and maximum upto 25m. Thus, available right of way is adequate for the proposed widening scheme and no fresh land (either private or Govt land) is required to be acquired for the project road.

11. The project road has 10 bus stops that are also locally known as rain shelters. Under the project widening scheme, all the bus stops/rain shelters will be remodeled to provide cross ventilation as well as to prevent entry of stray animals into the bus stop and these will be reconstructed with bio-toilet provision.

12. The proposed improvement/widening scheme of project road comprises concentric widening, eccentric widening and as well as geometric improvements at necessary locations taking into account locations with blind spots and areas prone to landslides. Design improvement in the project road is done taking into consideration of lane configuration, widening scheme, speed, embankment height and the rural but mountainous setting of the road. The existing substandard geometry in rural area has been eliminated. In addition, reconstruction, retaining with minor and extension are required in minor bridges, major bridges, pipe, slab and box culverts, etc. The project road has 10 bus stops between Km 0 to Km 13.5 and these are also locally known as rain shelters. Under the project widening scheme, all the bus stops/rain shelters will be remodeled to provide cross ventilation as well as to prevent entry of stray animals into the bus stop and these will be reconstructed with bio-toilet provision.

13. Pre-construction stage of the project are likely to involve adverse impacts on land –

private/government/forest, structures, trees/crops, CPRs including religious structures that fall within the Corridor of Impact. Additionally, in hilly areas, there is a need to consider landslide depending on the type of soil in the slope and hence at such locations land & structures beyond COI may need to be taken as well. Further during construction stage, the project is expected to set up labor camps with separate but temporary facilities for housing, water & power supply and construction material storage facilities.

13 | P a g e

14. Besides, the project will also have access roads leading to the labor camps and identified spots/locations needed for disposal of material, etc. It is anticipated that materials required i.e. primary suppliers for construction works will be sourced from government approved facilities from adjoining districts/within the state.

15. The Himachal Pradesh Road and Other Infrastructure Development Corporation (HPRIDC) is the designated nodal agency under GoHP for implementation of HPSRTP in Himachal Pradesh. HPRIDC besides having its direct own workers i.e. employees shall contract agencies1: for civil works, agencies/firms to support core-functions; primary suppliers of material/equipment and other implementation support partners, and these could be from anywhere in the country or outside. Influx of migrant labor from other states for construction works has been a norm in the state and is likely to continue in this project as well resulting in potential gender-based violence (GBV). Therefore, the project will involve a wide variety of stakeholders during its project cycle including Police Department that are associated with activities under other components of the project such as Road Safety.

16. There are no Associated facilities in this proposed project section. Also, as no other multi-lateral

or bi-lateral financing institutions are involved in this project in any of the upgradation or maintenance corridors, hence there is no requirement for a Common Approach.

17. Based on a thorough consideration of the afore-mentioned details, the following plans need to be prepared to meet the requirements of ESS.

1.3 Purpose of ESIA

18. In light of the afore-mentioned impacts the overall project was categorized as High Risk as per the internal Environment and Social Risk Classification of the Bank. Hence for the preparation of the Environment and Social Assessment of all the roads and subsequent follow on mitigation, HPRIDC contracted a separate independent agency – Messrs, Deccan Consulting Engineers Private Limited.

19. The purpose of the ESIA is to use it as tool for decision-making on the sub-project so that there is sustainable development of the road construction. Specifically, the objective of the ESIA is:

i. To identify, evaluate and manage the environment and social risks and impacts of the project in a manner consistent with the ESSs;

ii. To adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach to the project’s E&S risks i.e. a) anticipate and avoid risks and impacts; b) minimize or reduce risks and impacts to acceptable levels, if not

1 e.g. Civil works contractors, Road Safety Consultants, Project Management Consultants/Construction Supervision Consultant, NGO for RAP implementation 2 Labor Management Procedure shall be applied by HPRIDC for all upgradation and maintenance roads

14 | P a g e

avoidable; c) once risks and impacts have been minimized or reduced, mitigate; and (d) where significant residual impacts remain, compensate for or offset them, where technically2 and financially3 feasible;

iii. To help identify differentiated impacts on the disadvantaged or vulnerable and to identify differentiated measures to mitigate such impacts, wherever applicable;

iv. To assess the relevance and applicability of environmental and social institutions, systems, laws, regulations and procedures in the assessment, development and implementation of projects, whenever appropriate; identify gaps, if any exist, and

v. To assess borrower’s existing capacity and identify areas for enhanced capacity towards management of E&S risks

1.4 Scope of the ESIA

20. The ESIA requires conforming to the applicable environment and social legal and regulatory framework of Government of India and Himachal Pradesh as well as World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework Policy and relevant Standards. The scope of the ESIA is to:

i. assess the existing baseline status of the environment with in Corridor of Impact and Project Influence Area;

ii. identify the probable adverse and positive E&S risk and impacts due to the planned project during its entire cycle i.e. from preconstruction to construction to operation & maintenance;

iii. identify stakeholders and various groups/institutions who are either affected or have an interest or a stake in the project, with additional emphasis on disadvantaged and vulnerable groups and to carry out consultations with stakeholders to help elicit their concerns, suggestions and support;

iv. consider all ESHS likely in the project for further usage towards preparation of requisite mitigation plans, as may be required.

v. conduct additional studies, if any, for the enhancement of the benefit to the local community and the road users.

vi. identify capacity constraint of HPRIDC in respect of E&S management and propose commensurate capacity enhancement measures; and finally

vii. use inputs from the above to prepare appropriate mitigation measures and plans and their inclusion in cost estimates (including rate analysis), Drawings, Bill of Quantities, Technical specifications and other inputs that would be integrated with the bid documents.

1.5 Approach and Methodology

21. Study Areas: The study area is defined consideration physical space to be occupied, whether permanently or temporarily, during construction of the entire road infrastructure, associated infrastructure, as well as adjacent spaces, performance of planned activities in the various stages according to project needs, requirements on use and exploitation of natural resources, abiotic, biotic and socioeconomic components, and the area where significant environmental impacts are evident, with a view to define limit on which components involved are analyzed.

a. Corridor of Impact: The land width that would be needed during construction taking into

account full construction width, vehicle parking/movement plus safety zone on either side of centerline during construction stage is considered as Corridor of Impact. The environmental baseline inventory collected within 50 metre wide land strip i.e. 25 metre on each side of the centre line of the road has been considered as the direct corridor of impact.

15 | P a g e

b. Project Influence Area: As required under EIA notification, 2006 for conducting environmental assessment, 15km radius on each side of project road is considered as the Project Influence area (PIA) for collecting baseline data from secondary data sources.

Figure 1.3: Corridor of Impact and Project Influence Area

22. Socio-economic profile: The influence area of 15 km is considered for the study to analysis the regional developments at the macro level and is represented with the secondary and primary data, Stakeholder consultations and during the social surveys. A socio-economic profile for the project areas was prepared based on the information collected from secondary and primary sources to provide an overview, levels of socio-economic development etc. of the project road. Secondary information from different government sources like Census of India, Economic and Statistics department, Agriculture department, Social Welfare & Women Development Department of Government of Himachal Pradesh. The secondary information helped to understand macro level socio-economic profile of the population by gender, ethnicity, vulnerability, poverty, working population and available infrastructure facilities for services in the project influence area.

23. Verification of Existing Right of Way: A team comprising E&S specialists with the field social surveyor and investigators conducted preliminary reconnaissance of the project road for project appreciation including type and nature of impacts en-route. The Existing Right of Way (RoW) status of the project was ascertained by verification of land details from the revenue and forest departments/divisions and ground-truthing was done by checking on boundary pillars that demarcate EROW, wherever available. Also, information relating to legacy issues on compensation payments, pending litigations, if any were collected. Super-imposing the current design on the available EROW helped to ascertain the additional land that would be required, besides the quantum and type of assets that are likely to be impacted. As currently the designs are not final, the social surveys have been carried out considering the buffer area of more than existing & required ROW along corridor to determine the social changes and maximum impacts.

24. Census-socio-economic survey included the collection of information from primary and secondary sources. Information included: general identification including aspects relating to sexual orientation; household identification; social status; type of family; income by sources; type of losses due to the project; vulnerable category of the household; type of inventory losses; impact category; use of structure/property; loss of structure; Other losses. Survey also collected details on ownership of the structure /land; options for R&R/Opinion on the proposed project; access to Health, Electricity, Fuel, Water Supply, and Sanitation; Income, Debt levels, Expenditure pattern, loss of land, Assets Owned and Productivity; health status; gender aspects; migration; and perception about the project. The impact on private land and structures (residential, commercial) government, encroachers and squatters in addition, detailed information on impact on community assets has also been collected (religious structure, educational institutions, community properties etc.). Subsequently collation and analysis of primary and secondary information collected from

16 | P a g e

different sources has been carried out. On the basis of primary data, analysis has been done on potential social and economic impacts, categorization of impacts, risks, potentials impacts, and alternatives etc. Local level consultations and focus group discussions and key informant interviews were deployed to elicit views and opinions of different stakeholders regarding the proposed road improvements.

25. Environmental baseline and assessment: The primary baseline information on different environmental components were collected through field survey. The input to field survey i.e. identification of environmental factors to be considered for assessment is backed by a thorough desk review of literature, existing rules/regulations/acts and reconnaissance survey. Field survey were carried out to collect information on the major environmental features such as settlement facilities, drainage pattern of the area, forest, trees within RoW of the alignment, water bodies, river crossing, sensitive receptors, air, water, noise and soil quality etc. and were studied in detail, which helped in identifying areas of concern along the stretch and critical issues. After the full documentation of the baseline environmental situation, each of the environmental aspects was examined against the road upgrading component and activities. Environmental issues have been assessed to describe the potential impacts and risks that may result from road upgrading and construction. Based on baseline information impacts were identified and mitigation measures selected. Any actions required at later stage of the project is captured in Chapter 7, which will be reflected in ESCP. (See Appendix 9 :- Inventory Checklist and Environmental Screening Formats)

26. Based on an identification of stakeholder towards the preparation of a Stakeholder Engagement Plan, stakeholders were identified through systematic consultation with project beneficiaries, project affected people, women, vulnerable and poor members of the community, and other stakeholders who may have an influence over the project. Hence consultations were undertaken with primary stakeholders: beneficiaries, disadvantaged, poor and vulnerable groups, people who may potentially be impacted adversely by the project. Consultations were also carried out with secondary stakeholders: local community-based organizations (CBOs) and community representatives as well as government departments etc.

27. Focus group discussions were conducted with a cross-section of men and women in the community. The objective of these discussions was to gain in-depth understanding of project issues and concerns from a broad group of discussants, including people who may be affected from loss of land. The consultations focused on: inclusiveness in participation of community members, perceptions and concerns about the positive and negative social impacts of the project, including impacts on land and structures.

28. Separate individual interviews were held with disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the community to disseminate information about the project and to understand their views about the project. Women at select locations were also consulted on their interest in road related livelihood activities such as providing off-carriage maintenance works and supporting the much-needed bio-engineering measures towards slope stabilization efforts. A separate questionnaire was administered to females on questions relating to Gender Based Violence (GBV) particularly at locations where labor camps and socially sensitive receptors such as Schools and hospitals are located.

29. Individual interviews were conducted during one on one interview during the social &

environment related surveys. Such a technique helped solicit views and opinions at the individual level. It enabled stakeholders to speak freely and confidentially about controversial and sensitive issues. Build personal relations with stakeholders and record the interviews. The purpose is to understand the social concerns of the directly or indirectly impacts persons. A team comprising social development professionals carried out these consultations. The outcomes of the public consultations were helpful towards providing key inputs to the DPR on adoption of the mitigation hierarchy and provide inputs for approach to management of E&S issues arising in the project road.

30. All formats used for collection of the above information, checklists used for consultations and

photographs were used for collation and compilation, analysis towards preparation of the Draft ESIA report. These documents are available in project files/records and annexed in appendices 18, 19, 20 and 21 respectively.

Requirements on traffic and road safety, including road safety assessments and monitoring. Addresses risks arising from impacts on provisioning and regulating ecosystem service. Measures to avoid or minimize the risk of water-related, communicable, and non-communicable diseases. Requirements to assess risks associated with security personnel, and review and report unlawful and abusive acts to relevant authorities.

In the project corridor there is likely to be i) hill cutting, land slides, road excavation, use of vibratory equipment, construction debris handling and disposal etc. during construction; ii) high likelihood of direct exposure to increased construction related traffic and equipment especially at road sections traversing settlement area with limited carriageway/roadway width, and sensitive receptors such as schools, religious place, health centre/hospitals; iii) high dust levels from earthworks/hill cutting, high noise and emission level from traffic congestion and idling of vehicles; and iv) influx of migrant workers could potentially cause local discomfort or potential conflicts with local people.

ESS-5 Land-Acquisition-Restrictions-on-Land-Use-and-Involuntary-Resettlement

Avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project design alternatives. Avoid forced eviction. Mitigate unavoidable adverse impacts from land acquisition or restrictions on land use by providing compensation at replacement cost and assisting displaced persons in their efforts to improve, or at least restore, livelihoods and living standards to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. Improve living conditions of poor or vulnerable persons who are physically displaced, through provision of adequate

Applies to permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement resulting from different types of land acquisition and restrictions on access. Does not apply to voluntary market transactions, except where these affect third parties. Provides criteria for “voluntary” land donations, sale of community land, and parties obtaining income from illegal rentals. Prohibits forced eviction (removal against the will of affected people, without legal and other protection including all applicable procedures and principles in ESS5). Requires that acquisition of land and assets happens only after payment of compensation and resettlement has occurred. Requires community engagement and consultation, disclosure of information and a grievance mechanism.

Land will be required for widening, upgradation works in identified corridors and possibly for rehabilitation corridor works, curve/geometric improvements, blind spots, etc. Hence impacts on land, private and community owned assets including structures, trees and crops within existing and proposed ROW is likely. Physical and economic displacement too is very likely.

2.3 Comparative Analysis of key national, state and Bank policies

34. A comparison between RFCTLARR Act, HP Private Negotiations order and guidelines, 2018, and World Bank’s ESF that provides gap-filling measures reflected in the entitlement matrix is presented as Appendix 4. These are summarized below: The Act, like provisions of ESS, require SIAs for projects involving land acquisition with

elaborate process of consultation at every notification stage. It also expands compensation coverage of the principal act by requiring that the value of structure, trees, plants, or standing crops damaged must also be included and the solatium being 100 percent of all amounts inclusive. The Act similar to World Bank, requires compensation to be paid, prior to project taking possession of any land and provide R&R support including transitional support and moving allowances.

Act in its computation of compensation for structures takes depreciation into account and is not explicit about providing replacement cost of structures, though presumably the provision of 100% solatium will help arrive at replacement cost of structures or higher. GoHP standing order and guidelines for establishing the compensation amount upto the threshold as would have been determined under the Act, 2013

Cut-off date for determining the compensation and entitlements and assistance to all those who are affected by the project irrespective of the ownership of titles. According to the RFCTLARR Act, the cut-off date for assistance to those depending on affected private lands is three years preceding the acquisition and for the titleholders it is the date of notification under the said Act. To bring this RPF in line with World Bank requirements, RPF mandates that while in the case of land acquisition, the date of issue of public notice of intended acquisition under Section 3(a) under the Act will be treated as the cut-off date for title holders. In case of non-titleholders such as squatters and encroachers, cut-off date will be the start date of the census survey. In case of all affected non-title holders, suitable compensation (ex-gratia payments) for loss of assets and R&R assistance is proposed in the entitlement matrix. GoHP standing order does not have any provisions for non-titleholders

Also similar to provisions laid down in RFCTLARR Act 2013, World Bank ESS requires consultation with PAPs during planning and implementation of resettlement action plan, Tribal Development Plan and public disclosure of drafts.

In GoHP standing order, land compensation under private negotiations, the latest circle rate is considered and multiplied with 1 or 2 times in urban or rural areas respectively and 100% solatium is added to arrive at the final compensation upto the threshold as would have been determined under the Act, 2013. However, there could be gaps in asset valuation and resettlement assistance. There is also a gap in case of those who loose land, the lump sum payment of INR 5, 00,000 towards livelihood loss is not extended.

35. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this GOI, GoHP and RPF and the provisions of World Bank’s ESF, the provisions of the ESF shall prevail.

Wind Speed

61. The Wind Rose of the project road for the month of September 2019 is given in Figure 3.11. The most predominant wind direction is from North and the wind speed range between 0.5 to 2.10 meters/sec observed majorly along the project road.

Ambient Air Quality

62. The project area is devoid of any industries which contribute to air pollution. The only polluting source are vehicular emission and does not have large scale area base construction. The ambient air quality was established through air quality monitoring was carried at Dadhol and Ladrour locations along the project road. The test results are given in Appendix 12. It may be seen that the ambient air quality (for all tested parameters) at both the monitored locations are below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards as well as 24 hour values of EHS guidelines.

Ground water

65. Hydro geologically, both the unconsolidated valley fill and alluvial formation are occurring in the valley area and semi-consolidated sediments belonging to Siwalik Group form aquifer system in the district. Porous alluvial formation forms the most prolific aquifer system in the valley area where as the sedimentary semi-consolidated formation forms the aquifer of low yield prospect.

66. The Ground water potential in areas along the project road mainly falls under the zone of GW under water table & semi-confined conditions with Low to moderate yields (<5 lps). The Hydrogeology of Bilaspur District showing the project road is given in Figure 3.13. The ground water development scenario in Bilaspur district has not been assessed but is expected to be under safe category and moreover the district has numerous springs and nallahs which are perennial in nature for most part of year.

Ground Water Quality 67. The quality of ground water quality along the project road was assessed through a sample collected

near Mihara (10+500km) during the monitoring and the test results are given in Table 3-9. It can be seen that almost all tested parameters of ground water sample are within the safe limits of drinking water standards (IS 10500 permissible Limits), without any treatment.

119. Women Time Disposition: This section highlights women’s involvement in various

activities throughout the day. As the table below shows, over nine hours in a day, a woman spends on household chores, and nearly 7 hours on relaxation. This leaves very little time for any other activity, which may be economically gainful. However, in rural scenario, number of activities is carried out simultaneously. As the table shows some women spend time in

120. Work Participation: Himachal Pradesh has made good progress on gender issues. Women complete higher levels of secondary school than in many other states. Moreover, gender gaps in schooling are closing. It is important to note that female labor force participation in the state is the highest in the country. Despite these achievements, challenges remain. The state’s ratio of girls to boys is below the national average, having improved only slightly in recent times. While female labor force participation in the state is high, it has declined after 2005. In rural areas, there are very few non-farm jobs for women. In contrast, urban women work less, but they have the same types of jobs as urban men. The female work participation rate on an average in 991 was 38.75 percent which has increased to 46.34percent in 2001. There has been remarkable improvement in the work force participation rate of women as evident from various censuses. Similarly the male work force participation rate on an average in 1991 was 53.20 percent which has increased to 56.95 percent in 2001.

121. Literacy: Literacy rates among women in the state risen dramatically from only 4.8 percent in 1951 (males 7.5 percent and female 2 percent) to 83.87 percent in 2011 (male 90.83 percent and female 76.6 percent). Health Status There is no doubt that women’s health is affected in gender specific ways by environmental degradation and poverty.

122. Mortality: The depletion of environment leads to a scarcity of natural resources, which means women’s workload is increased as they spend more time searching for fodder and fuel wood to meet their family’s daily needs. Discrimination against a female child is evident from the fact that girls experience higher rate of mortality in younger age- groups as compared to the boys. In 2009, the female infant mortality rate was observed to be 45 as compared to male infant mortality rate of 44. Health of women is an important factor in determining the overall health of the society. If pregnant women are not well nourished they are more likely to give birth to weaker babies leading to higher infant mortality rate. It is also observed that where ever the infant and child mortality is higher, the birth rates are also higher. Women are exposed to a high risk of death due to pregnancy.

123. Empowerment: A good number of women have been elected to Panchayati Raj institution in Himachal Pradesh for the term 2011 -2016. In Himachal Pradesh there are 3243 Gram Panchyats, out of which 1639. (50.54 percent) seats have been occupied by women in 2011 panchyat elections. Out of total seats occupied by women 987 (60.21 percent) occupied by

77 | P a g e

general women, 421 (25.68 percent) scheduled cast women, 104 (6.34 percent) scheduled tribes women and 127 (7.74 percent) by OBC women.

CHAPTER 5 – ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

INTRODUCTION

138. This section discusses the analysis of alternatives that have been considered for the widening/upgradation of the project road. The analysis of alternatives considers both “With” and “Without” project road improvement scenarios. Further, within project road improvement scenario, various options/alternatives for minimization of both environmental and social impacts have been considered for the final design alternative.

WITH AND WITHOUT PROJECT ALTERNATIVES

Without Project Scenario

139. The project road has many settlements on its either side, which is affecting the smooth traffic flow, causing severe conflicts between the local and the through traffic. This is further compounded by the increasing traffic volumes, poor pavement conditions, poor geometry, inadequate turning radius, land use conflicts, in terms of uncontrolled development along the road and the encroachments on to the RoW, at times extending upto carriage way. The population growth, increase in traffic volumes and the economic development along the corridor would continue to occur and will worsen the present situation, which is already critical. The existing unsafe conditions and the adverse social and environmental quality along the road would continue to worsen in the absence of any proposed improvements to the project road.

140. Moreover, if the project road improvement is not under taken, then the socioeconomic conditions will further degrade and therefore, development of this remote, relatively poorly connected area becomes warranted. Therefore, “no project road improvement” scenario is neither a reasonable nor a prudent course of action for the economic upliftment of the project region, as improved project road will contribute to overall development of the region including socio-economic aspects.

141. With the present road conditions, without any improvement would contribute to increased GHG emissions due to the decreased speed and deteriorating pavement conditions in future years.

With Project Scenario

142. The ‘with project scenario’ is anticipated to bring in beneficial impacts in the long run on social, environmental, economic, financial aspects of the region including reduced GHG emissions. Based on the present traffic and projected volumes and available RoW, widening of the present single lane road to an intermediate lane has been considered as the most feasible or warranted improvement configuration.

143. “With Project scenario” will be economically viable and would contribute to the development goals envisaged by the Government of Himachal Pradesh and enhance the growth potential of the region as a whole.“With Project scenario” considers avoiding the large-scale acquisition of land and properties, and limits the improvement option to the existing ROW. Further, the scenario does not consider significant alteration in the existing vertical profile of the road, except at critical stretches for improvement of road safety and largely follows the existing profile.

144. A Comparative assessment of the “with and without” project scenarios along with anticipated benefits with project scenario are presented in Table 6-1.

Congestion in Settlements

Segregation of local and through traffic by the provision of service roads, if any.

Congestion In urban/rural areas due to mixing of local, pedestrian and through traffic.

Felling of road side trees

Felling of both old and weak trees along the road edge, which can a hazard. Thrice the number of saplings to be planted as compensatory plantation.

No felling of trees. The old trees may become a safety hazard to the road users with passage of time.

Pedestrian safety

Along the settlement stretches with significant pedestrian traffic, road signage, speed breakers and pedestrian (zebra) crossings, foot paths with railings for pedestrian walk are provided.

Pedestrian safety and issue of major concern especially along the settlements and congested sections which can lead to frequent conflicts with local people and thorough traffic users. Safety of Pedestrians at settlement areas is at risk.

Road Safety Measures

Provision of better pavement surface, adequate road signage, road markings, zebra crossings, crash barriers and improvement of geometry to improve safety and reduce accidents.

Accident /incidents are likely to increase with the increased traffic volume over the time, reduction in average speed and in travel time. Safety of Pedestrians at settlement areas is at risk.

Environmental Quality

Development of road in urban settlements improves environmental quality within the urban areas due to lower pollution levels and relieving of congestion. Besides, tree plantation and provision of enhancement features shall not only provide aesthetics but also improve the air quality along both rural and settlement areas.

Poor environmental quality due to slow traffic speed, congestion and high emission levels. Further deterioration is expected due to increase in traffic volumes and congestion.

Drainage Will be improved due to reconstruction of culverts / bridges/ side drains with adequate capacities for smooth passage of water.

These issues remain unaddressed without the project and can lead to erosion, slope stability issues due to improper/inadequate drainage.

Environmental Enhancement

Enhancement of water bodies, community and cultural properties will occur in an aesthetic manner.

No enhancement measures will occur.

Development Due to improvement in access and better connectivity, higher potential for socio-economic development.

Development activities will be greatly hampered due to poor and degrading connectivity/infrastructure.

Financial and Economic Analysis

Project financially viable as per the HDM model. The cost of operation and maintenance, VOC and other ancillary cost are moderate to low

The cost of maintenance will increase to cater to increasing traffic, Vehicle operating cost & travel time cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

145. The various avoidance measures for minimizing the extent of environmental impacts and avoiding of sensitive environmental features have been worked out. The table 6-2 provides the measures that have been adopted for offsetting the impacts.

146. Environmental and social impact assessment during pre-design stage helps to minimize, reduce or mitigate potential negative impacts of project action and enhance positive impacts, sustainability and development benefits. Although many benefits are expected from the project, social assessments have identified potential adverse impacts on roadside communities immediately and directly affected by project construction and operation. These impacts include losses of land, assets and livelihood. In accordance with the principle of mitigation hierarchy for management of E&S risks and impacts, analyses of alternatives have been considered to reduce potential direct negative E&S impacts of the project. The recommendations have also been made to incorporate for detailed studies at DPR stage from technical and socio-economic perspective. This chapter focuses on alternatives considered and finalized.

93 | P a g e

147. Public Consultations were held with the local people, likely project affected population, community leaders and government officials where the negative impacts are likely to be high in order to find out the alternatives to minimize the impact. With the help of the survey and consultations and inputs from the engineering section the mitigation measures have been worked out. Mitigation measures largely focused on settlement areas along the project roads specially villages/towns along the road or zones of maximum potential impacts. The recommendations of the stakeholders have been incorporated in designs, wherever feasible.

148. Considerations through good road designs to mitigate impacts included the following:

At built up/ village sections where the road width is insufficient for expansion, design alternatives include options for realignments and for modifying the proposed road designs, such as reduction of the shoulder widths.

Smoothening of curves and bends for better geometric design. In case where it affects settlements, alignment changes were indicated.

Paved shoulders to be maintained as far as possible to facilitate movement of non-motorised traffic.

Avoiding unnecessary displacement by modifying project alignments, reducing the width of the corridor of impact, or modifying design based on rural and urban cross sections.

Reducing design speed in built up areas;

Reducing impacts on existing shrines and worship places;

Providing suitable safety measures, such as speed reductions near schools and hospitals;

Minimizing the raising of roads in urban areas to prevent water seepage to the houses adjoining the roads and;

Providing access to businesses and residential units that would be otherwise impacted by construction; and minimizing losses of public and private property, such as tube wells, tree plantations and other common property resources within the ROW, by minimizing the width to be cleared.

149. An attempt has been made to present the details of the critical areas which require a detailed study on ‘Alternatives’ at the detailed project report stage. With the help of the survey and consultations two broad alternatives has been worked out, those are summarized in Table 6.3.

94 | P a g e

Table 6-3 – Analysis of Alternative- Input to Technical Design S.No Chainage/Place Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Remarks

1 In dense Built up area- 5+700 -

6+860 (Ladhyani & Bharari)

The design is intermediate lane, concentric widening in the built up sections (9 – 10m) proposed. The impact in these locations reduces loss of assets and families from being displaced. Though encroached structures are about 350 within the existing ROW an effort have been made to minimize the impact to save 273 families from getting affected from the surveyed 500 households. As per design consideration the structures (Residential and Commercial) are partially being affected (minor impact) at few locations and only 80 families are involuntary displaced. Therefore, major negative impacts on structures and livelihood with these improvements measures have been minimized.

For two lane road design in the existing corridor within the available ROW of average 20-24m. There is a likely impact on about 500 families for a total displaced in proposed corridor.

School.

At this location, there is a senior secondary school on the LHS and Community Health Center RHS. The road is very narrow with sharp curves and land constraints for about

120 mtr length. The proposal of realignments affects 10 structures on the

RHS and health center.

The design standards to improve the horizontal alignment and to smoothing the curves require an additional land, upon detailed consultation with school authority they agreed to give the land for upgradation of the corridor and safety measures at these silent zones. There is little impact on compound wall of the school and nil impacts on RHS structures.

With option no.-2, there will be less demolition of structure in Built-up Zone. This proposal seems to be effective and economical than the Option –1.

Under this, a Govt primary school at Gahar (Km 1+130) is adjacent to the right of way of the project road have a boundary wall with in adequate height. Therefore, re-construction of boundary wall of 5m height which can serve as both boundary wall and noise barrier will be required to limit the propagation of noise levels into school.

With existing RoW of 12 meters in these locations, there exists a strong public resistance because of more than 200 structures are getting affected.

People are insisting to confine the proposed road construction in minimum ROW to avoid the impact.

Option -2

Local Public have very less resistance to have restricted RoW in the built-up location, where the impact will be minimum.

People are ready with minimal demolition of encroached structure along with compensation for their project affected structure (encroachment).

to Km. 8+300

Option-1 With option no.-2, there will be less demolition of structure in Built-up Zone. This proposal seems to be effective and economical than the Option –1.

Under this, school at Bharari (Km 6+470) on RHS, is adjacent to the right of way of the project road, which does not have a boundary wall and the class rooms are adjacent to the right of way. Therefore, construction of boundary wall of 5m height, which can serve as both boundary wall and noise barrier, will be required to limit the propagation of noise levels into school.

Another school at Bharari (Km 6+470) on LHS, is adjacent to the right of way of the project road and 3m wide strip along with the school boundary wall is encroached into the RoW. The project design requires clearing the encroached land for design improvement of the project road. The school has constructed boundary cum retaining wall and school utility buildings like drinking water counter, kitchen of mid-day meal scheme, seating arrangement at basketball court and toilet blocks in the encroached RoW.

The school authorities at Bharari (Km 6+520) were consulted as part of stakeholder consultations and the authorities acknowledged that the school buildings have inadvertently extended into the right of way more than a decade ago. At present, the school authorities are willing to return the land, provided the existing facilities within such encroached RoW land are reconstructed elsewhere within the school complex but at no cost to school.

Provision of noise barrier cum retaining wall at Hospital near Bharari will be required.

With existing RoW of 12 meters in these locations, there exists a strong public resistance because of more than 150 structures are getting affected.

People are insisting to confine the proposed road construction in minimum ROW to avoid the impact.

CHAPTER 6 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL RISKS AND IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

150. The project will have both positive and adverse social impacts on the project road population. Since the project involves the upgradation of the existing road. The improvement/up-gradation of 13.5 Km of road will have direct impact on the village communities and other neighboring villages. Ribbon development / Congestion along the state highways and other roads are an uncontrolled Phenomenon and the project roads are no exception. These account for the most critical areas for this assessment. The assessment has also been done through a participatory process, involving the local communities, the likely PAPs, community leaders, Gram Pradhans, district level authorities, and various government organizations during impact assessment survey. This process provides the means by which public concerns, needs and values has been identified so that views of the likely affected and concerned people are reflected while working out the alternatives. The basic purpose of the assessment of likely loss and impact on assets are as follows:

i) to understand type, nature and extent of loss due to upgradation and rehabilitation of the project;

ii) the inventorisation will help in providing the input from social perspective to find out the alternatives; and

iii) this will also provide the input to prepare strategic issues while conducting public consultations/Focus Group discussions at the DPR preparation stage

iv) To adopt a mitigation hierarchy approach to the project’s E&S risks i.e. a) anticipate and avoid risks and impacts; b) minimize or reduce risks and impacts to acceptable levels, if not avoidable; c) once risks and impacts have been minimized or reduced, mitigate; and (d) where significant residual impacts remain, compensate for or offset them, where technically2 and financially3 feasible;

v) To help identify differentiated impacts on the disadvantaged or vulnerable and to identify differentiated measures to mitigate such impacts, wherever applicable

151. Ensuing sections summarize the environmental and social risks and impacts likely due to the project road by each relevant standard (ESS 2- 8), followed by the mitigation measures considered.

6.1 …related to Assessment and Management of E&S risk and impact (ESS 1):

Disadvantaged and Vulnerable persons 152. Under this project and in accordance with the ESF directive4, Project shall define vulnerable

person who has been designated under ‘Below Poverty Line’ category as identified by the concerned State Govt. level. Disadvantaged persons belonging to SC(5Nos.), ST(1Nos.), disabled, handicapped, orphans, destitute persons and woman heading the household are also recognized as vulnerable persons.

153. Mitigation measures: Mitigation of impacts on such vulnerable persons will be undertaken

through provisions and measures in the Resettlement Action Plan. Project shall consider other measures in accordance with The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. These could include access ramps to bus shelters.

4ESF directive on Addressing Risks and Impacts on Disadvantaged or Vulnerable Individuals or Groups

102 | P a g e

6.2 … relating to Labor and working conditions (ESS 2)

154. HPRIDC shall contract agencies to undertake civil works, agencies/firms to support core-functions; primary suppliers of material/equipment and other implementation support partners, and these could be from anywhere in the country or outside. Construction works will require labor force and associated goods and services. Based on the construction package sizes and the project implementation schedule, the estimated construction workforce/manpower is estimated in the Table 3.

155. The estimated work force requirement for completing all operations for construction of road will be about 560, with an additional 50 supervisory/management staff at all levels. Of the estimated labors requirement of 510, at least 355 will be source from local villages and settlement areas and rest could be migrant workers whom have to be accommodated for work force camps.

156. During the construction phase, land will be required to establish camp sites cum store yards to set up wet mix macadam plants, hot mix plants and batch mix plants for road and bridge construction purposes apart from other activities like handling and stacking/storage of construction materials viz. cement, sand, stone aggregates, storing excavated top soil and other construction materials as may be required. In addition, land will also be required to establish workforce camps, if warranted.

157. The estimated land requirement for camp site(s) will be 1.1 hectare (2.5 acres) depending upon land availability. The impacts on this land used for establishing camp sites will be limited to the construction phase and impacts arising due to such change in land use will for limited period (construction phase) will not be significant and transitory in nature, provided the sites are managed and restored to its previous state, after the project completion. Project shall comprise the following types of workers:

158. Direct workers: Direct workers will include the project managers and supervisors, who are employees of HPRIDC, deployed for HPSRTP. The estimated number of direct workers is not likely to exceed 30 as per existing institutional arrangements and practices of HPRIDC for all its units comprising project construction unit, technical unit, environmental and social management unit (ESMU), among others.

159. Contracted workers: All the work force deployed by the Contractors and the Project Management Consultant (for all packages) under the HPSRTP will be deemed to be contracted

103 | P a g e

workers. The Contractor(s) might further engage multiple subcontractors. All work force of all such sub-contractors will be also deemed to be contracted workers.

160. Migrant Workers: All the required labor will not be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons, such as worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. In such cases, labor force (total or partial) needs to be brought in from outside the project area. Influx of migrant labor from other states for construction works has been a norm in the state and is likely to continue in this project as well resulting in potential gender-based violence (GBV). Past experience during implementation of Phase I - HPSRP, significant percentage number of migrant workers (more than 60%) from adjoining states of Himachal Pradesh were used and all such migrant workers were sourced through labour contractors.

161. The migrant workers are that, who are employed for the Project but does not belong to the

Project region and are not normally expected to return to their places of residence after work shift hours. The number of migrant workers in any contract package, would depend on decisions made by contractors, based on the locally available workforce and their skills for Project construction requirements. The migrant workers could be at all levels and include unskilled and semiskilled construction labour and could even comprise combination of male and women labour force. The migrant workers are either directly engaged by the contractor or through labour contractors, who supply the work force to as per the needs of the contractors. As workers on infrastructure projects are likely to be predominantly young and male, who are either single or are separated from their family or spouse, and are outside their habitual sphere of social control, the risk of sexual harassment for local women (and co-women workers, if any), is likely to be higher, in particular for younger women and girls, but also boys. In addition, this influx of labor may affect the project area adversely in the terms of additional burden on public infrastructure such as health services, utilities such as water and electricity, housing and social dynamics. Other related issues could be increased risk of spread of communicable diseases, and increased rates of illicit behavior and crime.

162. Community Workers: Community workers may be employed by the contractor in relation to this Project from local sources particularly for supporting bio-engineering solutions towards slope stabilization workers. However, a better estimate would be known only at the time of construction.

163. Potential labor risks: Following are the potential risks associated with workers/labours engaged in road construction works.

i. Safety issues, like injuries/accidents/ fatalities leading to even death, while at work; ii. Short terms effects due to exposure to dust and noise levels, while at work

iii. Long term effects on life due to exposure to chemical /hazardous wastes iv. Inadequate accommodation facilities at work force camps, including inadequate sanitation

and health facilities v. Non-payment of wages by Employer

vi. Non-payment of benefits (compensation, bonus, maternity benefits etc.) by Employer vii. Discrimination in Employment (e.g. abrupt termination of the employment, working

conditions, wages or benefits etc.) viii. Engagement of child labour

ix. Sexual harassment at work x. Forced labour trafficking

xi. Security of women work force xii. Inadequate facilities for pregnant women and lactating mothers

xiii. Inadequate facilities for the children of the workforce at workforce camp sites

104 | P a g e

xiv. Possibility of Gender based violence as the road shall traverse through sensitive locations such as hospitals, schools, etc. that are near to habitations.

xv. Absence or inadequate or in accessible emergency response system for rescue of labour/workforce in situations of natural calamities like earthquake, caving in/landslides, fire outbreak, floods and cloud bursts etc.

xvi. Health risks of labour relating to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases

164. In addition, other risks that would be applicable for all types of workers would be as follows:

xvii. Unclear terms and conditions of employment xviii. Discrimination and denial of equal opportunity in hiring and promotions/incentives/training

opportunities xix. Denial for workers’ rights to form workers organizations, etc. xx. Absence of a grievance mechanism for labor to seek redressal of their grievances/issues

165. Mitigation measures: The borrower – HPRIDC will prepare Labor Management Procedures

that would be applicable for the entire program. The Labour Management Procedure (LMP), will include the Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety and Social (OHSS) guideline, management system and governance controls Through this guideline and associated standard operating procedures, it is intended to integrate the environmental, social, occupational health and safety principles of Indian national and state regulations as well as the requirements outlined under ESS 2 of the ESF World Bank. ill clearly spell out the requirements relating to provision of terms and conditions of employment; promoting of non-discrimination and equal opportunity; worker’s organization.

166. The responsibility to manage these adverse impacts would be clearly reflected in the contractual obligations of the Civil Works Contractor with appropriate mechanisms for addressing non-compliance. The bid documents for construction will incorporate requirements for Environment, Social, Health and Safety (ESHS) including list of applicable labor laws5 and provisions and the metrics for periodic reporting by contractors. The bidders are required to submit the following as part of their technical bid: ESHS strategy and implementation plan; code of conduct; and declaration of past ESHS performance. The successful Bidder will submit an Environmental, Social, Health and Safety (ESHS) Performance Security @ 1% of accepted contract value.

167. In order to address labor influx, contractor will:

i. source all unskilled labor from within the project area and its vicinity to minimize labor influx into the project area. Skilled labor force, if unavailable locally, would be brought in from outside the project area either from within or outside the state.

ii. develop a Workers’ Camp Management Plan that addresses specific aspects of the establishment and operation of workers’ camps e.g. cordoning of separate areas for labor camps and material storage;

iii. conduct training programs on HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases iv. develop a complaint handling mechanism at the project level v. provide information to communities in project area and to host communities about the

contractor’s policies and Worker Code of Conduct (where applicable).

168. In addition to the above & in accordance with the risk assessment carried out, that accorded a risk level of 12.0 (moderate) to the project, a GBV Risk Mitigation Plan will be prepared. The

5 Workmen Compensation Act, 1923, Minimum Wages Act, 1948, Payment of Wages Act, 1936, Equal Remuneration Act, 1979, Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Act, 1986, Inter-State Migrant Workmen’s (Regulation of Employment & Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, etc.

105 | P a g e

Plan will provide a set of measures such as orientation to all categories of labor, communities’ sensitization, signing of codes of conduct by the project personnel to be undertaken during implementation on a one-time basis or as periodic activity depending on its nature.

6.3 …relating to Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management (ESS 3)

Impact on Physiography

169. The road is existing for last several decades and the present construction works involves only widening to intermediate lane, following the existing ground profile and without significant alteration of existing vertical profile, except for improvement of geometrics objected to enhance road safety. Therefore, there will be no significant impact on physiography of the region due to road construction.

Impact on Geology

170. The demand for construction materials like earth, aggregate, boulders and sand occurring naturally will be sourced from already existing quarry or sources. The likely anticipated short term and localised impacts are slope and stability issues of the excavated hill faces, disrupting or altering sub-surface drainage, contamination of groundwater, soil erosion and deforming landscape.

171. Furthermore, geological formation are long process and these construction materials are finite resources and are already stressed due to various development activities creating availability challenges in recent times. Though these impacts are of low significance, but considering project road being in seismic sensitive geography possess risks and impacts. Considering these aspects and to minimize construction footprint on natural resources is one of fundamental design principle for pavement and structures. The various ‘resource efficacy’ options during design include optimize usage of material generated from hill cutting in protection works like breast/toe/masonry walls thereby reduce potential impact and risks are still being assessed and will translated into final design to achieve minimum construction footprint.

172. The construction material requirement for the project road widening includes earthwork, stone

aggregates, cement, bitumen etc. As per engineering design, the estimated quantity of materials that are required for construction of the project road is listed in Table 6-3.

173. Mitigation Measures:

The project’s demand for boulders, stone aggregate and sand for road construction will be sourced from authorized/pre-existing quarries; and earth will be borrowed from 3 locations with a lead distance of 0 to 15 Km have been identified for borrowing the earth given in figure

Figure:- Maps showing potential borrow area details along project road

The borrowing of earth in an unregulated manner may lead to unstable slopes, erosion, loss of fertility, inundation of water, breeding areas for mosquitos and unhygienic environment. The transportation of earth from borrow and quarry areas in open/uncovered trucks can increase the dust levels and no borrowing of earth shall be permitted along the project road and within existing Right of Way. Borrow areas for importing earth for embankment/sub-grade construction shall be identified and assessed for suitability of material and likely environmental impacts and risks. Uplands shall be given a first choice while finalizing the borrow areas to reduce the foot print of the borrow areas

107 | P a g e

Prior to commencing borrowing operations, Engineer shall approve borrow area based on compliance with existing regulations, suitability of earth, written agreement with land owner(s), likely potential environmental risks and safety hazards, and restoration/redevelopment plan. If government/panchayat land(s) have been chosen, then requisite approval/permissions from local self-government bodies shall be obtained prior to commencement of borrowing operations and conditions laid by the local bodies shall be complied thereof.

The agreement for borrowing soil shall clearly state the lease duration, depth and land area and levels up to which the borrowing of earth shall be carried out, compensation for the agreed lease period, site restoration plan as desired/required by the landowner and any other condition mutually agreed upon between contractor and land owner. The agreement shall include a site restoration plan as agreed upon with the landowner.

The Engineer shall conduct regular compliance audit during operation of borrow area and ensure prompt restoration of closed borrow area is in accordance with approved borrow area management plan.

The contractor will ensure trucks are loaded only up to permitted capacities to prevent high emission, vehicle wear and tear, road surface damage due to overloading. All haul roads either paved or unpaved used for transportation of materials shall be subjected to surveillance at regular interval and rectify any type of surface damage till operation of borrow area.

The contractor will ensure trucks used for transportation of material is covered by tarpaulin and provided tail board, so that en-route spillage and generation of fugitive dust are prevented. All haul roads (paved or unpaved) used for transportation of materials shall be subjected to daily surveillance especially settlement/residential areas for dust levels and carry out regular sprinkling of water to check air quality is compliant with NAAQS till operation of borrow area.

Trucks in good condition shall only be deployed for operations and shall adhere to pre-determined routes. The contractor will resolve any conflict arising due to contractor activities with community or individual will

The contractor shall prepare and get the borrow area management plan approved by the Engineer and operation shall strictly adhere to same. The borrow area management plan shall ensure following

Identified borrow area is inspected by Engineer. On a typical map record land area, boundary limits, estimated quantity and existing environmental settings, but not limited to topography, drainage, water bodies, settlements, trees, haul road etc. to identify likely environmental risk and safety hazards.

Borrow areas shall not be opened in an irregular shape and sizes. Indicate propose slope or any mitigation measures for the finish cut surface of

bank/embankment to prevent slide, erosion, or collapse of bank. The bottom of borrow pits shall not be left uneven and finished with a levelled

bottom and shall not have deep pits within. The propose depth of cutting shall be limited to a maximum of 1.2 meters below

surrounding ground levels. In case excavation warrants for greater depth, such borrow area location shall also include occupational health and safety measures to prevent accidental or safety hazards till completion of restoration.

Likely quantity of top soil generation and its preservation.

108 | P a g e

Impact on Soil

174. The land within the COI will be directly impact due to removal of topsoil, compaction and spillage of chemical. The compaction of soil due to plying of traffic, stockpiles, temporary facilities is also likely to impact soil structure with potential to impact organism activity, water retention capacity and nutrient retention. There is also possibility of contamination of soil from leakage and spillage during handling and storage of fuels and chemicals.

Muck Disposal:

175. The estimated cut and fill volumes of both rock and earth work as per project design is given in Table 6-5. The majority of the material generated during the construction phase is anticipated to be excavated rock cut.

176. The main activities that will generate excavated rock are hill cutting, excavation of existing pavements and reconstruction of culverts. The waste generation estimated is 179094 cubic meter from these activities are likely to be only from earth. Out of this, the project considers to reuse/recycle 6672 cubic meter of earth for the construction of sub grade, sub base and base layers, retaining walls, breast walls among others. This approach not only will reduce the amount of waste leaving site, but also reduces the need to import material.

177. The reuse of 6672 cubic meter of excavated earth constitutes 4 % of the total quantity and thus only 96 % will need to disposed off in debris/muck disposal sites.

178. The extent of the identified muck disposal sites at 7 locations is 12 Ha, (as in given in Table), which is adequate to dispose the earth material. The disposal of debris is likely to have significant environmental and social impacts and risk due to erosion, slides, clogging of drainage, drying of seasonal streams/spring, damage farmland, loss of soil productivity etc. The chainage wise details of rock/earthwork fill and cut lengths and volume are given in appendix 22

The contractor shall be solely responsible to resolve any type of issues arising or related to dump site amicably with communities or individuals.

The contractor shall prepare and get the Muck Disposal Plan approved by the Engineer and operation shall strictly adhere to same. The Muck Disposal Plan shall ensure following Identified disposal site is inspected by Engineer. On a contour map record land area,

boundary limits and existing environmental settings, but not limited to topography, drainage, water bodies, settlements, trees, haul road etc. to identify likely environmental risk and safety hazards.

No dump site shall be located in forest area. In unavoidable condition, identification and approval of such dump site in forest area shall be after complying with conditions set in approval from Forest Department.

The likely environmental issues at dump site could include slope stability, blocking drainage, altering waterway, erosion etc. The mitigation measures shall include both engineering and non-engineering measures.

6.3.2 Impacts on Water Resources

180. As the project road completely traverse in hilly terrain and exists three seasonal streams and springs at different chainages. The streams are perennial with low to moderate seasonal fluctuation and drain water from hill side, which in absence of adequate cross drainage across the road can cause a tendency for flash floods on the downstream side.

181. The road construction inevitably is likely to alters, to a certain degree, the natural drainage regime by altering natural sheet run-off and stream hydrology. This will occur during construction from land clearance and construction of the road. In order to minimize the impacts, the following measures are considered. The drainage pattern along the project road with side drain flow direction to the nearest CD structures are given in Appendix -7.

182. Mitigation Measures: These would include:

The construction of 26 pipe culverts and 4 slab culverts connected with side drain on hill sides along the road is suggested for easing the drainage across the road.

Construction of check dams on the upstream side of three seasonal streams and channelizing the water on the downstream side of with protection measures will control the erosion of soil and subsequently reduce floods on downstream areas.

In addition, bio-engineering interventions are also considered at selected locations to minimize the erosion and improve the slope stability.

6.3.3 Water Resources Depletion

183. The terrain of project area is hilly and there three streams that are perennial with low to moderate seasonal fluctuation and springs. Such sources are tapped by the irrigation department for further use. The availability of water during summer is limited particularly in lean periods and requires immediate attention to augment the ground water resource. However, none of the areas within Bilaspur district has been notified as over exploited / critical by CGWA/State Ground water authorities as of 2013.

111 | P a g e

184. The estimated water requirements is 21.3 million litre during project period for civil works like embankment, sub-grades, bituminous work, concrete, dust suppression and daily consumptive use at work force camp, site offices, among others. Since, depth of these bore wells range between 30 to 45m and considering ground water development status of the district, project demand could be meet with by ground water through construction of borewell.

185. Mitigation Measures: The impacts arising due to sourcing of construction water can be minimized through the following mitigation measures.

Contractor can explore suitable locations with high water level for installing tube/bore well and abstracting water. However, tube/bore well should be installed after obtaining permission from irrigation and public health department, GoHP.

identify and development of potential springs and seepage springs along hill sides, where collection chambers or tanks can be constructed to harness the water for meet construction demand. However, springs used by communities should be avoided.

The Contractor shall consider renovation of existing surface water bodies new surface water bodies at suitable places in the vicinity of the project road for harvesting of water during rainy season. This water can be used for construction purpose and on completion of the construction the same can be handed over to the community for maintenance and use.

During the pre-Construction stage the contractor should preferably identify local depressions along the alignment in consultation with the local panchayat to be developed as water storage areas.

The water usage pattern with in the construction camps can be minimized by adopting following best practices:

Use buckets for washing purposes instead of using running water; Use of auto shut off taps (without sensors) in labour accommodation; Install water meters with main supply pipes/water tanks/bore well to assess

quantity of consumed water.

6.3.4 Impacts on Water Quality

186. Road construction related pollution risks include accidental release of fuel, used oil or chemicals and contamination from poor waste practices that can affect surface and groundwater; contamination from construction machinery working near springs and seasons streams; discharges and disturbance of soil and sediment that drain into surface waters.

187. In addition, camp site, construction sites will generate and average sanitary wastes which need to be treated through septic tank and soak pit disposal arrangements.

188. The details of waste generation during lean, average and peak construction phase is given in Table 6-6. If not treated properly, the liquid waste will potentially cause both surface and ground water contamination through surface run off and or through leaching through surface to groundwater aquifers.

Table 6-6 : Estimated Sanitary waste during construction phase

Total 12960 6480 2333

189. In particular, the proposed construction works is likely to affect water quality during monsoon period, when all seasonal streams will be flowing. The most commonly associated will be increased suspended solids and turbidity in runoff from land clearance, earthworks and stockpiles where works are undertaken near streams and springs.

190. Mitigation Measures: Key avoidance and mitigation measures to avoid surface water pollution

include:

All toilets and wash areas within the camp site and work force camps shall be provided with septic tanks and soak pit arrangements, of adequate capacity. No wastewater from the camp/work force site shall be discharged directly without any treatment in to any surface water channels or drain, which eventually join surface water bodies.

The camp sites shall have 4 numbers of septic tank (each 5m Length, 2m Breadth and 1.5 m Clear depth with 0.3 free board) with soak pit arrangement which can serve for work force at peak level as per CPWD specifications as below figures.

113 | P a g e

The oil/lube storage shall be under roofed areas with impermeable cement concrete surfaces

and provided with separate drainage system with oil separators. No discharge from oil/lube storage areas shall be directly discharged in to any open surface water channel/ streams.

Oil interceptors shall be provided at repairing area and fuel storage area with separate drainage system. (typical drawing)

114 | P a g e

No construction debris and/or spills of construction materials are dumped on to stream waterway. The upstream and downstream side of the cross drainage structure sites are to be cleared on a daily basis to clear off any accidental spills, if any.

Care shall be taken not to adversely constrict the water way, while planning and constructing cross drainage structures and construction works shall be planned and completed during non-monsoon months.

After the completion of the construction works, the cross drainage construction site including upstream and downstream up to 100 metres shall be checked for remnant of construction debris/spills and same shall be and cleared off

6.4.1 Physical Environment

Ambient Air Quality

191. The baseline results of all air quality parameters (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, HC, CO) monitored at Dadhol and Ladrour locations are below prescribed standards in NAAQS. This can be attributed to overall good pavement condition, less volume of traffic, and absence of polluting sources in project study area.

192. Construction activities can give rise to dust emissions under particular circumstances if not effectively managed. Road construction activities have the potential to affect receptors near to the main construction sites due to dust generated from site preparation, site excavation, hill cutting, construction activities and the tracking out of dust from Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) onto the local road network. Earth works will result in exposed areas of soil which will potentially generate dust when it is windy, with dust potentially being generated when winds blow at all times of day or night, not just during active periods of construction. The level and distribution of dust will vary according to the duration and location of activity, weather conditions, and the effectiveness of suppression measures.

193. Gaseous emission during construction will be from road construction machinery, equipment and plants concrete batching plant, hot mix plant and wet mix macadam plant. The operation of vehicles, equipment and plant will result in emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen. In particular, all commercial vehicle driven with diesel fuel is often used in India. The greatest impact on air quality due to emissions from vehicles and plant will be in the areas immediately adjacent to site access. Generally, additional vehicle movements generated during the construction phase will have the potential to influence local air quality at sensitive receptors located at close proximity to road and pollutant concentration is likely to reduce with increase distance from road. The impacts will therefore apply mostly within the town/villages, though may also affect some isolated properties where they are located close proximity of construction traffic movements.

194. The GHG emissions per year, at the present traffic, road geometry and pavement conditions is using the International Vehicle Emission (IVE) modelling is estimated at 2143.569 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2) (which includes N2O as well as CH4.). The GHG estimates of the widened project road scenario (as of 2019) is 1283.428 tons of CO2, (which includes N2O as well as CH4.) Shows that the widened project road could reduce GHG emissions by 860.141 tons of CO2 as given in Table 6.7.

195. The GHG emissions of the project road at present traffic levels, during construction phase and GHG emissions during the life cycle of project road (upto year 2038) has been estimated using ROADEO and IVE (International Vehicle Emission) models. The estimated GHG emissions for each of phases are given in Table 6.8.

196. The GHG emission projections of the improved project road over its life cycle indicate that there will be a net reduction of 37961.93 Metric tons.

197. Air quality and noise quality modeling was carried out to determine the concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, CO and noise at present traffic levels.

198. Quantitative assessment for predicted level of pollutants concentration has been done using ISC-

AERMOD, a recommended model by USEPA for prediction of air quality from point, area and line sources. It is based on Gaussian dispersion which incorporates the Pasquile-Gifford (P-G) dispersion parameters for estimating horizontal cross wind and vertical dispersion.

199. The total road alignment has been taken into consideration for the prediction of vehicular exhaust emission. Major criteria pollutants generated due to vehicular exhaust are PM10, PM2.5and CO and hence only these pollutants are taken into consideration in this study.

200. The predicted concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and CO are found to be well below the NAAQ standards at all of the places. It is already suggested in EMP to go for avenue plantation on either side of the proposed project road and median plantation. This will further reduce the concentration of PM & CO.

201. In the existing scenario, due to lesser width and higher roughness, the average vehicle speed is low, which results in more exhaust gas emissions. In the post-project scenario, improved road conditions and congestion free traffic movement will reduce emissions.

202. Furthermore, lower growth of traffic and better road conditions with improved average speed, which constitutes about 95% of the total project road length, will not have any

117 | P a g e

significant increase in concentration of PM and CO even after 20 years of operation, subject to regular maintenance of the road condition and maintaining the average speed of traffic.

203. However, in Dadhol – Ladrour Road (OSR9 ) project, the emissions will increase significantly due to increase in traffic density. The Isopleths of PM10, PM2.5 and CO concentration along the project stretch are given below Figures

204. Mitigation Measures: Among the air pollutants, dust levels in term of particulate matter 2.5 and 10, is the most significant most for concern. In order to prevent and control the dust levels, the following measures are to be strictly adhered to:

The contractor shall do vehicle fitness test at regular interval of 1year and based on fitness certificate, only fit vehicle shall be deployed during construction. All vehicles and equipment used during construction should be we well maintained, efficient vehicles, having a lower unit emission ratio and higher payload. All vehicles shall be mandatory to have valid Pollution Control Certificates.

The pollution control equipment in Hot-mix plant shall be kept in working condition at all times. The plant shall not be operated, if the pollution control equipment is not functional.

The contractor depending on most prevailing wind direction and presence of sensitive receptors at downwind side of material stack yard, shall provide wind barrier at perimeter of all plant site to arrest or blowing of suspended particle.

The contractor shall obtain and submit to Engineer, all requisite permits (CTO and CTE) from the HPPCB for operation of the Hot Mix Plant, stone crushing operations, batching plants and captive quarry operations.

Noise and Vibration

205. The principal source of noise during construction of project road would be from operation of equipment, machinery and vehicles. Earth moving machineries e.g. excavators, graders and vibratory rollers has potential to generate high noise levels. These machineries produce noise level of more than 70 dB (A). This can cause disturbance to the settlement, adjacent to the carriageway or within 500 m from the worksite.

206. There are 8 sensitive receptors i.e. schools (3), hospitals (1), religious structures (4 temples) are located along the road and within study area. Noise impacts are anticipated at 4 sensitive receptors, while it is not anticipated at 4 sensitive receptors (3 temples, 1 hospital).

121 | P a g e

207. Dhwanipro noise model is developed to undertake construction, industrial and traffic noise

propagation studies for noise assessment. The model is used to predict the impact of noise on receptors from the noise generation source. It is also used to predict impact due to group noise sources in the industrial complex (multiple sound sources) and traffic.

208. A noise propagation modeling study has been conducted to find out the impact from the noise

generated because of the estimated total traffic flow as well as the significance of these impacts. The noise modeling has been done taking into account the design speed at various stretches and the stretches with restricted speeds have also been considered. Dhwani PRO is used for noise modeling and following table presents the results.

209. The predicted noise levels during both day and night time are below the stipulated limits at road project stretch for all the land uses i.e., commercial, residential/rural and sensitive.

210. The Contour map showing noise levels due to total traffic outcome at the total project stretch has been shown in Figures

211. Mainly the vibration during construction activity like consolidation rolling through use of rollers could cause vibrations to the settlements, which are immediately adjacent RoW. If un controlled, these vibrations, at times could lead to minor cracks or damages to the kutcha or old structures.

212. The noise generated during the construction would cause inconvenience to the population especially within 50m of the alignment after which it would be attenuated to acceptable levels. Since, the settlement along the road alignment would be sparse the severity of the impact is not expected to be significant.

213. Mitigation Measures: This include The DG sets used in the project shall have acoustic enclosures and should conform to the

CPCB stipulated standards. Regular maintenance of the machinery, equipment and vehicles shall be carried out to

minimize the noise levels. All machinery, equipment and vehicles shall have a definite maintenance schedule and maintained by the contractor.

Night time construction activity shall be prohibited in case settlement/habitations are located within 500 m of the construction site.

In order to limit the ambient noise levels near the sensitive receptors, noise barriers have been recommended at 4 sensitive receptors out of total 8 locations.

Noise barriers shall be constructed in advance (Prior to commencement of road construction works) at every sensitive receptor like Schools, Hospitals which have been identified for providing the noise control measures.

During the road construction near the sensitive receptors, appropriate traffic diversions are to implemented including the deployment of uniformed traffic wardens with reflective hand battens.

Road construction schedule near sensitive receptors like schools and hospitals shall be informed to the concerned authorities well in advance. All works near sensitive receptors shall be adequately well planned and works shall be completed in shortest possible time, with minimal inconvenience to users of sensitive receptors locations. If warranted, steel barricades shall be used to minimize the inconvenience to the road users as well as occupants of the sensitive receptors.

123 | P a g e

Environmental measures such as construction of noise barriers etc shall be constructed for the identified sensitive receptors, well in advance of commencement.

Along the settlement areas, the use of all rollers shall be regulated through slow pace of operations, use of non – vibratory and small rollers to minimize or avoid cracks or damages to the kutcha or old structures.

6.4.1 Occupational Health and Safety

Transport and accessibility

214. The project road is 13.5 km length with 15 settlements that are located at every kilometer along the road. The built-up along the road has direct access into project road in addition intersected by major and minor junctions. The road will act as haul road for transporting construction materials along with construction activities will result in blocking of access restrictions across the roads, which will cause nuisance to local road users (road users and pedestrians). Adding to aforementioned impacts, the site setting i.e. narrow roadway width, sharp curves, hilly/mountainous terrain will provide limited option for maneuvering, but will depend on contractor working procedures that is not yet known. During construction stage, there could be need for creating temporary access to Contractor’s camps/establishments. Details of the exact locations and numbers would be known only after contractor is mobilized at site.

215. The villages with residential/commercial structures and other basic utility services are either at

up-hill or down-hill sides, wherein the following potential safety risks and impacts are likely: i. hill cutting, land slides, road excavation, use of vibratory equipment, construction debris

handling and disposal etc. during construction. ii. high likelihood of direct exposure to increased construction related traffic and equipment

especially at road sections traversing settlement area with limited carriageway/roadway width, and sensitive receptors such as schools, religious place, health centre/hospitals

iii. high dust levels from earthworks/hill cutting, high noise and emission level from traffic congestion and idling of vehicles.

124 | P a g e

iv. influx of migrant workers could potentially cause local discomfort or potential conflicts with local people.

216. Mitigation measures: Management of such impacts will be the responsibility through the

contracted construction agency. Prior to starting construction, the contractor will prepare and submit the Contractor ESMP (CESMP) to HPRIDC for acceptance. The CESMP will include a detailed explanation of how the contractor will comply with the project’s safeguard documents and demonstrate that sufficient funds are budgeted for that purpose. It will include Management Strategies and Implementation Plans (MSIPs) for: (i) work activities; (ii) traffic management.

217. The C-ESMP shall be approved prior to the commencement of construction activities. The approved C-ESMP shall be reviewed, periodically (but not less than every six (6) months), and updated in a timely manner, as required, by the Contractor to ensure that it contains measures appropriate to the Works activities to be undertaken

Infrastructure and services

218. There are any utility services that are existing along the corridor. This includes 5 transformers, 193 electric, telephone and telephone poles, and one high tension transmission crossing the road. The majority of utilities offset from existing centerline is in range of 3-9m from existing, hence will involve utility shifting. At time of preparation of this report, design is revisited to achieve encumbrance free stretches of road. During construction stage, there is likely to be temporary disruption to services. As the communities are the end users of service provided by these utilities, the adoption of a well-planned approach for utility shifting and coordination with utility department is important to ensure minimal disruption to services.

219. During the construction phase, there will also be a demand for electricity, water and health facilities. Specific details on these demands are not currently known, however it is assumed that contractors will use both the electricity grid and generators on site. Taking cognizance of project area is limited with perennial water sources, so project’s additional water demand will stress existing infrastructure and water sources and it is likely to become cause of conflict with community, though during construction phase only.

220. Landslide is one of the most significant, unpredictable occurrences in hilly roads, which often leads to road blockages, accidents and even could lead to loss of life at times. The project road has 2 locations, with a cumulative length of 390m, which are prone to erosion and landslides. The most notable causes of landslides are due to human interventions like steep hill cutting, de-vegetation, development works along uphill surfaces.

221. Mitigation Measures: This include

Stability of slopes, natural and man-made, is important for a hill road. The majority of road section will involve hill cutting and there is high likelihood of disturbing hill slope, adding to it are other factors like erosion by rainfall and runoff, surcharge etc, which in current road can be minimized by regulating slope cuts along the hill faces. The recommended safe cut slopes, are given in Table 6-11.

The landslide impact can be further minimized / mitigated through provision of engineering and non-engineering interventions. Some of engineering measures considered for the project road are breast walls along hill side and retaining walls along valley side. Apart from the engineering measures, bio-engineering measures are considered, though potential location being identified, to mitigate the impacts of erosion and slope stability along the project road.

The landslide impact can be further minimized / mitigated through provision of engineering and non-engineering interventions. Some of engineering measures considered for the project road are breast walls along hill side and retaining walls along valley side. Apart from the engineering measures, bio-engineering measures also have been proposed at some selected locations to mitigate the impacts of erosion and slope stability along the project road. The details of bio-engineering interventions considered for project road is given in Table.

Provisions made for the bioengineering interventions covers areas/locations along the RoW at

upstream and downstream of seasonal streams, CD structures, muck/debris disposal sites, areas reclaimed /open areas in RoW, areas of cleared of invasive vegetation’s among others.

Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes

222. The Project will generate both solid non-hazardous and hazardous wastes throughout the construction phase. The anticipated non-hazardous wastes types include excavated material, construction material, Municipal Solid Waste, waste waters. While hazardous waste may include used oil, empty drums or replaced parts of the construction machinery, used battery, chemical for concreting like admixture etc. There are potentially a number of risks to human health and the environment that may be associated with the handling, storage and disposal of waste, both on and off-site. Incorrect handling and storage could result in possible cross contamination of air, soil and water resources; as well as direct and indirect effects on human health. Environmental pollution with organic and non-organic waste generated from project activities may occur due to uncontrolled disposal and inadequate management of waste during road construction and operation of the camps for construction workers. Discharge of untreated waste waters can result in pollution to soils, water bodies and have adverse effects on human health, flora and fauna and surface and groundwater.

223. During the complete construction phase, an estimated 104 used batteries are likely to be discarded, which are to be disposed of in accordance with the battery management rule. The estimated generation of hazardous waste during the construction waste is given table 6-13.

Mitigation Measures:

225. The hazardous waste generated at camp sites is to be collected in steel drums and stored in a segregated roofed area and periodically disposed at approved waste disposal facilitates by HPSPCB. The nearest such facility is located at Baddi Barotiwala Nalagarh Industrial Area (BBN) in the adjoining Solan District. The discarded batteries shall be disposed only through authorized recyclers from HPSPCB.

226. The camp site shall have compost pits for treating organic waste and separate bins for collecting the inorganic waste, which shall be disposed at nearest municipal disposal sites. The nearest such sites are available at Mandi and Ghumarwin.

227. Waste management and the minimization of potential impacts during construction will depend on the implementation of appropriate procedures, protocols and monitoring of materials being delivered, handled and stored prior to disposal. The CEMP will include a Waste Management Plan prepared in accordance with requirements stipulated in (a) The Batteries (Management & Handling ) Rules, 2001 (b) Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000, (c) Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 and (d) Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016.

Hazard and Vulnerability

228. The vulnerability status of the Bilaspur district as a whole is moderate in terms of landslides, floods, and earthquake. However, the impact due to construction of 13.5km long project road itself does not significantly alter the vulnerability status of the district as a whole. Given site investigation observed and identified potential landslide stretches, the risk due natural calamities like earthquake, landslides and even at times landslide triggered due to road construction work cannot be overlooked. Since, such events would have potential health and safety hazard to personal or work force or labor or community in vicinity and may get stranded at operational sites.

229. Mitigation Measures: This include In order to ensure the safety of work force at operational sites, as well as safety of the

personnel at camp site, an Emergency Response Plan shall be prepared and followed, whenever the situation warrants.

All work force irrespective of levels are to be provided with training to respond in an emergency situation and periodic mock drills will be conducted to ensure the preparedness to respond any emergency situations.

The communities on regular interval shall be informed appropriate information, as well as changes in emergency preparedness and response activities.

6.5 …on land & assets (ESS 5)

230. The project design has considered the following mitigation hierarchy to avoid the impacts. Restricting the widening of the project road to the already available Right of Way and avoid

diversion of any fresh land for road construction

129 | P a g e

Selection of Government owned waste/barren land for establishing construction camps, material stack yards and/or work force camps, hot mix plants, concrete batch plants, construction vehicle parking areas

Avoidance of agricultural land or grazing land /community lands for any borrowing of good earth requirements of road construction work.

Identify low lying areas within the right of way for disposal of muck and construction debris and developing such reclaimed areas as green patches through the intervention of bio-engineering measures.

Identify vacant areas within the right of way for developing them as green patches through the intervention of avenue plantation and/or bio-engineering measures

231. Since the project road widening is limited to the existing right of way with no new land diversion for road construction, there will not be any change in land use. The data related to likely loss due to improvement of the road has been collected through detailed social survey. On the basis of Social Impact Assessment for Dadhol to Ladrour road, the categories of impact has been finalised through the collection of likely impact data. The categories includes: 1) Structure (Private, Encroachments) - Residential, commercial and Squatters (residential,

commercial and Residential –cum- commercial); and 2) Common Property resources (School, College, religious [Temple, Mosque, Churches etc.],

bus shelter/bus stand, and Hand pump. 232. As per the available right of way information provided by PWD units and revenue officials there

is no additional land that needs to be acquired from private sources. The total numbers of families affected are 136– all of which are non-titleholder encroachers. These structures of these affected families are mainly residential, commercial and mix of residential and commercial, besides others such as cattle sheds, etc. In addition, there are 4 CPRs that comprise Schools (1), Religious structures (1),) and Hand Pump (2). These also comprise 6 vulnerable households comprising 1 from ST, 5 from SC categories.

233. During construction stage, the temporary requirements of land either from government sources

or from private parties through lease hold basis to tune of 1.1 Ha is anticipated to establish construction camps, material stack yards, hot mix plants & machinery. While land requirement is being estimated for disposal of surplus earth from hill cutting. The impact at such location would be localized and temporary nature and these can be reversed through mitigation measures.

234. With the development of the road, avenues for economic activities and opportunities will be created with high likelihood of induced ribbon development or urbanization. Such a scenario though will take time but is likely to stress current land use i.e. predominantly forest along project road, to meet with development demand for commercial or residential usages, which might reduce the forest coverage in the state over time.

235. Mitigation Measures:

236. Impacts on land and assets arising pre-construction stage activities will require be addressing and

mitigating through a mix of measures of compensation, assistance and relocation arrangements. For this purpose, a Resettlement Action Plan will be developed that will contain details of such mitigation provisions. The mitigation provisions includes:1) Fixation of compensation at replacement cost will be paid as per the provisions mentioned in RFCTLARR Act 2013 or through negotiated settlement;2) Structure replacement cost will be calculated as per the Basic Schedule of Rate and with depcriciation;3) Each affected family shall be given a one-time "Resettlement Allowance";4) one time rehabilitation grant for reconstruction of affected assets;5) One time subsistence assistance in cash for displaced families;6) one time transportation allowance for shifting the assets for displaced families;7) Training for skill development. This assistance includes cost of training and financial assistance for travel/conveyance and food.;8) one time cash grant as vulnerability allowance; and 9) Reconstruction of community structure and common property resources, will be done in consultation with community;10) compensation for temporary impact. It will also be prepared keeping in view actions proposed under the Stakeholder Engagement Plan. In addition, in cases of impacts on livelihood, rehabilitation through appropriate skill training/financial counselling would be required as well.

237. The impacts arising due to construction over land use cannot be completely avoided. It can only

be minimized by adopting the following measures:

131 | P a g e

i. Waste lands belonging to Government or non-agricultural lands belong to private or community shall be chosen for establishing construction camps material stack yards, hot mix plants & machinery, debris or muck disposal sites. If landfill site or previously used sites are available along the road, the same sites shall be preferred and no new site shall be opened up for all establishment needed during project period.

ii. No agricultural land or grazing land or fertile community lands are to be used for project’s establishments.

iii. Use of forest area for project’s temporary establishment shall be avoided. If unavoidable, location and area with less canopy density shall be preferred and shall atleast 500m of distance maintained from high density canopy forest areas. Damages to tree or land diversion in forest area shall be compensate and compensatory afforestation of vacant lands/degraded forest are to be made as per the stipulation of the department of forests, GoHP.

6.6 … relating to Bio-diversity & Living Natural Resources (ESS 6)

As per field investigations and consultations with forest departments, there is no protected forest area along the project road.

Impact on Flora

238. The site clearance activities for road construction will involve removal of road side vegetation and felling of trees. The biodiversity studies have indicated that entire corridor along the project road is rich in biodiversity, interspersed with invasive species like Ageratum conyzoides, Eupatorium adenophorum, Lantana camara, Parthanium hysterophoros. Consultation with forest department, GoHP informed past effort for management of these weeds, through mechanical/ cultural and chemical methods. Most of the past efforts have not yielded desired results due to lack of focus on long-term follow up system. The ecological investigations have indicated that there are no rare, endangered and threatened species with in the corridor.

239. A total of 3614 has been enumerated existing within existing right of way, of which only 75 trees (2%) needs to be cut for road improvement. As per the current procedure of department of forests, GoHP, tree enumeration has to be conducted jointly with the department of forests after the marking of the center line of the proposed road improvement plan. Thus, the number of trees which will be required to be felled for road construction is not confirmed at this stage. While according the permissions for tree felling, the forest department will stipulate planting of three saplings for every tree cut and maintenance of the same for five years with 70% survival rate.

240. Mitigation Measures: In order to limit the impacts on the flora due to the road construction, the

following measures are considered: Compensatory Plantation is to be taken up either along the project corridor or at places

identified by the department of forests, GoHP in order to compensate for the tree felled. At least 3 saplings shall be planted for every tree felled or as per the stipulation of the mentioned in the permission for tree felling provided by the Department of Forest, Government of Himachal Pradesh. With this compensatory plantation measures, the tree cover lost could be regained in 5 to 7 years and thus the impacts could get mitigated.

Only local species, which are less water consuming and approved by the forest department shall be used for plantation. Normally, all such afforestation will be undertaken by the department of forest and maintained for three years as a deposit work. Therefore, cost provision for Compensatory Plantation is included in ESMP Budget.

In order to limit the propagation of invasive species, firstly all such invasive species with in the corridor of impact and/or right of way shall be removed/cleared and replanted with local

132 | P a g e

species. The department of forests, GoHP has framed a procedure for removal of invasive species and replanting of local species.

Normally, all such activities will be undertaken by the department of forest and maintained for three years as a deposit work. Therefore, cost provision for corridor plantation is included in ESMP Budget.

Impacts on Fauna

241. There is no National Park or wildlife sanctuary with in 10km from the project corridor. The biodiversity investigation along the project corridor has not indicted the presence of any scheduled faunal species, except for monkey. Local consultations along the project corridor indicate that they frequently face attacks from monkeys near Ladhyani village. Thus, the project road construction is not likely to cause any impacts on the fauna.

242. Mitigation Measures would include the following:

The camp sites and work force camps shall be access controlled and well-lit to avoid/prevent entry of wild animals.

The work force shall be oriented not to feed monkeys and to properly collect waste food in dustbins to prevent menace in camp area.

All work force shall be oriented to keep calm and walk away from the scene, in case, wild animals are sighted either during work hours/night time.

Work force shall be strictly instructed not to harm / kill and prohibited hunting of wild animals under any circumstances

The Work force shall be strictly prohibited from entering in to forest areas under any circumstances.

The Construction camp and work force camp sites shall not be established in the vicinity/nearby forest areas. Atleast 500m distance shall be kept from such areas under unavoidable circumstances.

The construction work shall be restricted to day hours only, while working established in the vicinity/nearby forest areas and work shall not be carried out in the late evening hours/night hours /early mornings.

6.7 … on Tribals/Indigenous Population (ESS 7)

243. The corridor does not have any schedule V areas. Though it has 36 tribal households might be impacted across the 13.5 km corridor these households are well mainstreamed into the general population and society and do not meet the characteristics outlined in ESS 77.

244. Mitigation measures: Hence no differential provisions will be required to address the impacts on these households. Impacts on these households shall be treated through the provisions outlined in the Resettlement Action Plan.

6.8 … on impacts on Cultural Heritage (ESS 8)

245. The alignment of the project road does not have any ancient monuments and/or archaeological site(s), protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2010. Thus, no impacts are foreseen on ancient monuments and archaeological sites due to the construction of road project.

6 Exact number of affected tribal households will be known after the finalization of designs and field verification of impacted households 7 characteristics as outlined in ESS 7 – Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities

133 | P a g e

246. Further, 4 religious structures/shrines, which are along the project corridor are not impacted by

the proposed road improvement activities. These structures are not protected under Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2010.

247. During excavation works, in an unforeseen and unlikely scenario of sighting of remnants or

chance find, the matter is to be immediately brought to the attention of the State/Central Department of Archaeology. All further work at the specific location shall be carried out only after the site is cleared by the competent authority of archaeological Department.

248. Extent of impact of chance finds will be addressed through a Cultural Heritage Management Plan as part of ESMP. The cultural heritage management plan will include:

i. a chance finds procedure to be established. It is a project-specific procedure which will be followed if previously unknown cultural heritage is encountered during project activities. It will be included in all contracts relating to construction of the project, including excavations, demolition, movement of earth, flooding or other changes in the physical environment.

ii. recognize the need to ensure peoples’ continued access to culturally important sites, as well as the need for confidentiality when revealing information about cultural heritage assets that would compromise or jeopardize their safety or integrity

iii. fair and equitable sharing of benefits from commercial use of cultural resources iv. and provisions for specific types of cultural heritage based on consultations with stakeholders

– affected and other interested parties, if any are identified during construction based on chance find procedure

249. The project construction will not directly positively or adversely impact any tourism activities of

the region. On the contrary, the project road after its completion may contribute to tourism by improved connectivity and reduction in travel time.

250. The right of way of the project road has 8 sensitive receptors like schools, hospitals, religious structures (temples/shrines), etc.

251. As a part of design, adequate consideration was given to minimize the impacts on most of the sensitive receptors. However, in unavoidable circumstances, noise barriers has been considered as a mitigation measure at two schools to attenuate the noise levels due to anticipated increase in the traffic after the upgradation of project road.

252. Further, all the noise barriers are to be constructed prior to the road construction work at the respective location of the sensitive receptors. Location specific traffic diversion plans will be implemented during the road construction near these sensitive receptors and all work will be swiftly completed with minimal inconvenience.

CHAPTER 7 – KEY MEASURES AND ACTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND

SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP)

254. This section summarizes the key issues and presents a list of issues, actions and measures that need to part of the ESCP. Key issues and findings:

i. Verification of land ownership at four stretches of road passing through forest area.

ii. The environmental issues highlighted by communities are related to drainage, road safety, drying of spring, protection and maintenance at landslide locations, safety concern at dump sites.

iii. Managing of construction water demand in absence of perennial water sources.

iv. Most negative social impact identified by community members was the potential for loss of land to project interventions.

v. Majority of stakeholders consulted, the benefits of the project outweigh impacts from minor losses of land.

vi. Gaps exist in the provisions in policies between government acts/policies and World Bank’s ESS relating to provisions for non-titleholders and cut-off date.

vii. Institutional arrangement to address E&S aspects are currently relatively weak and need significant strengthening

viii. Though GRM is decentralized but it presently is not tuned to receiving to respond to grievances of PAPs and requires systematic recording of grievances and redressal

255. Further action needs to be taken to:

i. To verify existing ROW and obtain clearances, licenses/approvals and permits under existing legal framework that are applicable to the Project from relevant national and/or local authorities.

ii. develop clear procedures for the land acquisition and determination of compensation/ transactions are carried out in transparent manner and satisfactorily documented;

iii. describe the policy, institutional and implementation framework to guide the compensation for loss of land and assets and ensure that no affected land is displaced without proper consultation and compensation;

iv. more consultations need to be carried out to inform communities/affected persons of the mitigation measures and entitlements once firmed to compensate them for their losses. Besides other road safety and bio-engineering measures need to be informed;

v. develop mechanisms to foster greater participation of more passive members of the community, including disadvantaged persons, women and vulnerable groups;

vi. develop clear procedures for disseminating information about the project to all affected communities and provide a feedback mechanism for these communities to voice their concerns and address these concerns during project implementation. More specifically, to facilitate community outreach and project information dissemination, as well as to enhance the knowledge of communities about entitlements to mitigate adverse social impacts, an information pamphlet in the local language summarizing the key principles of voluntary land donations and entitlements presented in the RPF, will be distributed to each village impacted by project interventions.

136 | P a g e

vii. to coordinate with forest department and verify the ownership of land over road is existing at four stretches of road traversing forest area and early resolving of the matter by processing of application for Forest Clearance, if needed.

viii. The road design to explore mitigation options for environmental concerns highlight by communities and its integration in EMP.

ix. Environment and Social impact management training modules needs to be prepared and will be delivered early in project implementation to build capacity of the project staff.

256. Key measures and actions and the timeframe required for the project to meet the requirements of the ESSs are as follows

By Appraisal

i. HPRIDC will establish and maintain an E&S organizational structure in HPRIDC with qualified staffs to support management of E&S risks including at least one Environmental Expert and one Social Expert.

ii. HPRIDC to provide draft consolidated ESIA. iii. Disclose Draft Consolidated Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the

road corridors on Department website and WB portal iv. Disclose Draft Stakeholder Engagement Plan v. HPRIDC to prepare Resettlement Policy Framework for the overall project including

rehabilitation and maintenance corridors vi. HPRIDC to disclose approved RPF on its website

vii. disclosure of the approved ESCP

By Project Negotiations

viii. Disclose draft corridor specific ESMP (EMP, RAP, SEP, GBV Plan) ix. HPRIDC to develop and include the project grievance mechanism in SEP x. Wherever land parcels are required, HPRIDC should initiate acquisition proceedings

using the RFTCLARR Act 2013 and simultaneously also form price fixation committees to conduct private negotiations as per the GoHP Financial Commissioner, Standing Order No. 28 so that loss of time can be avoided in case there is/are hold ups from the landowners

Appendix 10 - Ecological Investigations along the Project Road Corridor

BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Present biodiversity study of the project/road corridor (Dadhol-Ladrour) was carried out togenerate baseline information on biodiversity; to understand the ecological status of biologicalelements; to predict the probable impacts due to the proposed up gradation/widening activities on bioresources; and to suggest possible remedial and mitigation measures in anticipation of these impacts.The prime aim of the study was ensuring ecological sustainability in the project area. Present primarystudy was carried out in the month of September 2019.

Forest Ecosystem

The state Himachal Pradesh encompasses tropical to temperate forests, alpine meadows and snow,high biodiversity and endemism, oaks-centered biodiversity, predominance of evergreen forests with aone year life span. The state has a wide ecological range because of relatively larger variation inaltitude, latitude and rainfall and its seasonality.

Based on the interpretation of satellite date pertaining to Oct-Dec. 2015, the forest cover in the state is15,100 Km which is 27.12% of the state’s geographical area. In terms of forest canopy density classes,the state has 3,110 Km2 under very dense forest, 6,705 Km2 under moderately dense forest and 5,285Km2 under open forest present in the state (ISFR, 2017).

Forest type mapping using satellite data has been undertaken by Forest Survey of India with referenceto Champion & Seth’s classification and as per this assessment, the state has 38 forest types whichbelong to 8 forest type groups, viz. Tropical Moist Deciduous, Tropical Dry Deciduous, SubtropicalPine, Himalayan Moist Temperate, Himalayan Dry Temperate, Sub Alpine Forests, Moist AlpineScrub and Dry Alpine Scrub (ISFR, 2011).

Fig 1. Forest Type Groups in the state of Himachal (Source: ISFR, 2011)

23 | P a g e

The Dadhol-Ladhror road corridor falls in the Bilaspur District of the Himachal Pradesh. DistrictBilaspur comprised with a forest cover of 32.13% (375 Km2) is one of the dense forested districtshaving rich floral and faunal diversity. As far as the forest classification on the basis of canopydensity classes, there is a total of 23 Km2 under very dense forest, 161 Km2 under moderatelydense forest and 191 Km2 under open forest present in the district.

There is no forest area falls within the present road corridor and Chhanjiar forest is the onlyprominent Forest recorded 2 km away from road corridor near Dadhol. Chhanjiar forest is a sub-tropical pine forest that comes under the Bharari Range of Forest Division Bilaspur. The naturalvegetation along road corridor is limited to scrub crop of Khair-Sissoo along with bamboo clumsat some places. The whole road corridor has a thin line of natural vegetation both sides. Besidenatural vegetation, prominent agro-forestry practices are also present in the project zone.

Agro-forestry Ecosystem

Agro-forestry ecosystems are the only biodiverse areas along the project corridor that are illustratedby various seasonal agriculture and horticulture crops. Many agroforestry tree species like Grewiaoptiva, Celtis australis, and many Ficus spps. are present in cropland areas. There is a very goodagriculture belt all along the project area. Wheat and mustard are the main crops whereas Maize andSpices are being cultivated in the area as cash crops.

Aquatic Ecosystem

There is no prominent aquatic ecosystem present in the study area. Govind Sagar Dam is the nearestwater body in the region which is about 8-10 km away from present project corridor.

Floral Diversity

The proposed widening zone of the project comprised with a luxuriant growth of invasive species likeAgeratum conyzoides, Eupatorium adenophorum, Parthenium hysterophorus and Lantana camaraalong with some scattered tree and shrub species. The vegetation sampling has been done adjacent toproposed widening zone of the project to enumerate species composition and understand standstructure.

Methodology for Vegetation Study

Although there is no notified forest area present in the road corridor, but a strip of natural vegetationis present both sides of road. A random sampling approach has been followed to capture the naturalvegetation in the study area.

The size of sampling unit (quadrat) has been determined by using the species-area-curve method.Quadrats of 10m x 10m were laid out to examine the tree layer in the direct impact zone as well asbuffer zone. Within these sample plots, two 3m x 2m plots were laid out randomly for sampling shrublayer. To collect information on ground layer and other herbaceous species, five quadrats of 1m x 1msize were laid out within the tree quadrats. Species-wise counting of all individuals has been carriedout in each quadrat along with their CBH (Circumference at Breast Height) or DRC (Diameter at RootCollar).

Data analysis: The structural aspect of vegetation such as frequency, density, abundance anddominance (basal area) were determined following Mishra (1968). Importance Value Index (IVI) wascomputed for all the species by adding the relative values of frequency, density and dominancefollowing Curtis & McIntosh (1950). Species distribution was calculated by Abundance to Frequencyratio following Curtis and Cottom (1956). Species diversity was computed using Shannon-WeaverIndex (Shannon and Wiener 1949). H′ = Σ (ni/N) × ln (ni/N) Where, H′ = Shannon’s index of speciesdiversity ni = Total number of individuals of one species N = Total number of individuals of all thespecies in one stand.

Existence of National Park, Sanctuary, Biosphere Reserve

No National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, Biosphere Reserve and any other notified sensitive area ispresent in the study zone of this road corridor. No wildlife corridor and animal crossing sites has beendetected within the project corridor. A troupe of monkeys (about 100-130 in numbers) has beenrecorded Near Ladhiyani village during primary study and it is presumed that the area is sensitive toroad kill.

Endemic & RET Species

All the recorded plant species from the present study were assessed for their conservation status bycross checking with red data book of Indian plants (Nayar and sastry, 1987-1990) and none of theplant taxa was found under RET category. Oroxylum indicum was the only species recorded from thestudy area comes under threatened category (CAMP, 2010).

Appendix 13 - GoHP’s Strategy To Rehabilitate Areas Infested With Invasive Alien Plant Species (ExoticWeeds) In Himachal Pradesh

Strategy to Rehabilitate Areas Infested with Invasive Alien Plant Species (Exotic Weeds) inHimachal Pradesh: A Concept Note

Introduction

Large scale invasion of the Himachal’s landscape by alien plant species over the past 20 odd years hasbecome a cause of serious concern from the ecological, biodiversity, socio-economic and health point ofview. Even as the list of alien plant species having become invasive in the State is fairly long, it is thefollowing four exotic weed species that need priority attention:

a. Lantana camara L. (Lantana, Fulnu-buti, Panch-phulli, Ujrhu): This Tropical American speciesbelongs to family Verbenaceae and has been declared as Weed of National Significance by morethan 60 countries across the globe. It has come to occupy almost all the forest and non-forest areasin the sub-tropical belt in the State badly affecting the native floral diversity and availability ofgrass.

b. Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Carrot Weed, Congress Grass, Gajar ghas, Chatak Chandni): Amember of family Asteraceae and a native of Tropical America, this herb is an aggressivecolonizer of degraded areas with poor ground cover and exposed soil such as agricultural fallows,wastelands, roadsides, soil dumps, overgrazed pastures and degraded forests. The species, inaddition to its adverse ecological impacts, has become a serious health hazard, causing allergicreactions in human beings.

c. Ageratum conyzoides L. (Goat Weed, Neel-phulnu): This noxious herb, a member of familyAsteraceae, is a native of Tropical America. It has come to occupy agricultural fields, wastelands,plantations, pastures and all forest types, posing a serious threat to the indigenous vegetation in theState.

d. Eupatorium adenophorum Sp. (Crofton Weed): A member of family Asteraceae, this shrub isa native of Mexico. It forms dense thickets in fallow and wastelands, degraded forests and forestfringes out-spacing the indigenous species. The plant also causes allergic reactions and is apotential health hazard.

The above invasive alien plant species, with major incidence in the subtropical and lower temperate areasin the State, have come to affect the quality of forests and the pasture lands. What is more worrying is thattheir incidence seems to be increasing every year at a quite fast ‘Speed of Spread’. No wonder that theproblem of alien weeds has been recognized as the priority management subject during this InternationalYear of Forests, 2011. State’s Grazing Advisory Committee has also been raising concerns about thespread of these weeds and their affect on the pasture lands and grass availability. The issue has alsobecome a subject of regular discussion in the State Assembly.

Extent of Spread

A forest-wise reconnaissance, carried out during March 2011 across the State, has brought out thatLantana alone has invaded 1.5 lakh hectares of forest lands. Similarly, the other three main exotic weeds(Parthenium, Ageratum, Eupatorium) have been recorded to occur over 0.50 lakh hectares of forests,especially pastures.

In addition, these exotic weeds have also come to occupy most of the roadsides and the waste lands. Theroad length, passing through the sub-tropical/ lower temperate zone in the State being approximately20,000 kms with an average of 2.5 m berm on either side of these roads, the area under the exotic weeds

49 | P a g e

along roadsides works out to an estimated 10,000 hectares. More than 80% of the exotic weed infestationalong road sides is on account of Parthenium, Ageratum and Eupatorium.

Data about extent of spread of exotic noxious weeds on wastelands/ fallow lands is not available. However,assuming that the exotic weeds occupy most of the lands classified as barren/ unculturable; culturablewastes and fallow in the sub-tropical/ lower temperate zones (apprx. 1500 km2), the area under the exoticweeds on such lands works out to an estimated 1.5 lakh hectares. About 80% of this infestation is withParthenium, Ageratum and Eupatorium.

An idea about the enormity of the problem at hand can be had from the consolidated figures presented inthe table below:

Description of land

Estimated Infestation of Invasive Alien Species (Area inha.)

Total (Area in ha.)Lantana Others (Parthenium,

Ageratum, Eupatorium)

Forest land 1,50,000 50,000 2,00,000Road sides 2,000 8,000 10,000

Lands classified as barren;cultivable wastes & fallow 25,000 1,25,000 1,50,000

Total (Area in ha.): 1,77,000 1,83,000 3,60,000

Analysis of the data presented in Table above reveals that whereas ‘Lantana’ is the major noxious speciesof forest habitats under the administrative control of HP Forest Department, it is Parthenium, Ageratumand Eupatorium that form the major exotic weed species along road sides and on lands classified as barren,culturable wastes and fallow, major chunk of which is privately owned. Whereas the incidence ofParthenium is largely restricted to degraded and newly opened drier sites along roads and forest fringes,the other three invasive alien species tend to occupy all possible vacant places even under tree canopy.Even as Eupatorium and Ageratum show a clear preference for moister locales and show gregariousoccurrence, at many places these share the niche and grow in an intimate mix with Lantana. It is, therefore,imperative that the management strategy should focus on comprehensive rehabilitation of areas infestedwith exotic weeds and not merely limit itself to any specific exotic weed species.

Another issue that has emerged from the recent survey is the ‘Speed of Spread’ of invasive alien species,with more than 40% of the infestation reported as having taken place over the past decade only. Therebeing little control over the various extraneous factors contributing to the spread of exotic weeds, viz.cutting of lands for roads and projects, muck dumping, uncontrolled grazing, innate biological traits ofweeds, etc. the infestation is still continuing at an alarming rate. The fast changing life style, that includeabandoning of marginal farm lands and voluntary keeping the surrounds clear of weeds, has only added tothe pace of spread of these exotic weeds.

Past Efforts at Management of Invasive Alien Species in the State

By H P Forest Department: Some efforts at management of these weeds, especially in the forests sector inthe State and revolving around mechanical/ cultural and chemical methods, have been made. Limitedefforts at use of Lantana for making low cost furniture, coal brickets and compost have also been made inthe past.

However, these management efforts, revolving mainly around mechanical removal of the exotic weeds,have been too few and too far spread to create any significant impact. An idea about the scale of

50 | P a g e

intervention can be had from the fact that over the past three years, only about 1,700 hectare of forest areahas been tackled under the weed management program.

Moreover, these efforts were largely taken up as one time interventions at weed removal and were notfocused on rehabilitation of the treated area. Most of the past efforts have not yielded desired results due tolack of focus on long-term follow up system.

Chemical methods (involving mainly application of glyphosate) at control of Lantana/ Parthenium wereabandoned after initial trials due to concerns about their adverse environmental implications. AssociatingLantana removal to use has also not found favour with the local communities, the outputs/ returns fromusing cut Lantana for furniture, bricketting or composting being not considered commensurate with theeffort required for its use.

By Other Organisations: The Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University has been working to developsuccessful models of managing exotic weeds. It has also been, around Palampur, spearheading Partheniumeradication campaigns in association with educational institutions and civil society organisations. However,these campaigns have been too limited to create large scale impact.

Major learning from the past efforts at eradication of invasive alien plant species is that such efforts needto be integrated with rehabilitation of treated areas and should be of long-term duration for effective results.

Strategy for Management of Invasive Alien Species on Forest Lands

A two-day workshop was organized by the Himachal Pradesh Forest Department at Sundernagar on 22-23April 2011 with a view to come out with the following broad outputs –

1) documentation of species-wise/ forest-wise spread of major exotic weed species

2) documentation and review of the past efforts at weed management

3) emergence of a comprehensive strategy to rehabilitate the areas infested with the major weedspecies

The workshop was attended by the subject matter experts from within and outside Himachal Pradesh,forest managers, researchers, academicians, representatives of line departments and representatives ofCivil Society Organisations. The workshop was inaugurated by Mr. Vinay Tandon, Pr. Chief Conservatorof Forests, Himcahal Pradesh. Prof. R. K. Kohli, Chairman Botany Department, Punjab University andIUFRO Chair on Invasive Alien Species delivered the Key Note address. The highlight of the technicalsessions was forest Circle-wise presentations by the Conservators of Forests, giving detailed status ofexotic weeds on forest lands in their respective circles. The invited subject matter experts included Prof. NN Angiras (KV, Palampur), Prof. M K Seth (HPU, Shimla), Dr. S S Samant (G B Pant Institute, Mohal)and Dr. Kuldip Dogra (Research Fellow), who shared their experience related to the status andmanagement strategies of exotic weeds. Mr. Santosh Kumar, Conservator of Forests, Chandigarh presenteda case study about successful Lantana management interventions in Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary. Dr. AnjanKalia (representing CSO, Palampur) shared his perspective regarding the need to undertake eradication ofParthenium through ‘people’s movement’.

The two day deliberations on the issue resulted in the emergence of a draft strategy for management ofexotic weeds in the State, highlights of which are presented below:

51 | P a g e

Core Principles of the Strategy are set out as below

Contain Further Spread:To set up biennial monitoring protocols to keep watch over the spread of exotic weeds and takeimmediate remedial measures to remove recent infestations, if any.

Complete Rehabilitation of Infested Areas:It will involve shift from the present methods of ‘one time removal of weeds’ to ‘completerehabilitation’ of the treated areas. Under this approach all the four above mentioned noxiousexotic weeds will be tackled simultaneously. For this a comprehensive system of long-term followup action with appropriate budgetary support will be evolved.

Reliance on only Mechanical/ Manual Methods:In view of their environmental/ ecological concerns, the rehabilitation measures will NOT employany Chemicals/ Biological methods of exotic weed control.

Natural Resilience of Native Flora to be the basis of Rehabilitation Action:The natural regeneration of indigenous plant species on treated sites will be encouraged andfacilitated to establish towards better environmental and ecological services, including fodder,fuel, water recharge, etc.

No Exotic Plant Species to be used to Rehabilitate Treated Sites.No potentially invasive exotic species – (viz. Leucaena leucocephala, Prosopis juliflora, Teak,Darek, Silver Oak, Jatropha curcus, Tecoma stans, etc.) – will be used for plantations in the areasunder weed management, because of their deleterious effect on the native flora.

Rehabilitation to start from Low Intensity Infestation Areas and to progress towards areas withHeavy Infestation:Rehabilitation activities will start from the fringes of infestation zone with lower intensityinfestation and will progress towards the heavily infestation areas. This approach will (i) allowtackling larger areas with the given financial resources and result in creating quick visible impact,and (ii) help in containing further spread of exotic weeds.

Priority Rehabilitation of Heavily Infested Critical Habitats:Rehabilitation of heavily infested areas as starting point will be taken up only in limited number ofcarefully selected critical habitats like grazing grounds near habitations. Such sites will then actas nucleus from where rehabilitation activity will radiate to adjoining areas of high infestation.

Multi-Stakeholder Participation:Since all landscape elements in the State are already infested with noxious exotic weeds, thedepartments/ agencies dealing with different land use elements would need to join hands toeffectively tackle this menace.

Working under Campaign Mode:The problem being enormous, it would need building larger societal consensus and engaging civilsociety organizations and local people/ social groups to effectively tackle this problem. It ispossible under a campaign mode for which viable implementation mechanism would be evolved.

Methods for Strategy Implementation Forest Beat will be the Unit for Rehabilitating Exotic Weed Infested Areas:

It will create comprehensive visible impact and show quick results of rehabilitation action.- Forest beats with lowest infestation will be selected first.- Within the selected beat, rehabilitation action will start from the areas with least infestation.- Heavily infested critical habitat in the selected beat, if any needed to be tackled on priority basis,

will be selected/ approved by the concerned DFO.- Financial resources available for the purpose under various schemes will be converged to

rehabilitate all areas under the selected beat in the shortest possible time. All Noxious Exotic Weed Species will be Tackled Simultaneously:

52 | P a g e

All the noxious exotic weeds will be tackled simultaneously on the selected area to ensurecomplete rehabilitation of the infested areas.

Method of Removing Exotic Weeds will be as under:The invasive plant species will be removed by employing only mechanical/ manual methods, asgiven below:

- Lantana will be cut by using Cut Root Stock (CRS) method i.e. cutting the bushes below the soil toprevent coppicing (Annexure-II).

- Other exotic weeds will be uprooted/ cut along the ground. The following will be standardized for effective implementation of exotic weed management

initiative:- Cutting tools/ techniques- Calendar of rehabilitation activities- Cost models A three year intensive maintenance of the treated areas and periodic follow up (every 3 years?)

thereafter will form integral part of the rehabilitation program till the areas gets fully rehabilitated. Local people, through existing community groups, will be actively engaged to participate in

rehabilitation of exotic weed infested areas.

Funding Options

The State Forest Department will explore funding possibilities for this initiative under State CAMPA/NPV funds; Centrally Sponsored Schemes (‘Control & Eradication of Forest Invasive Species’ underIntensification of Forest Management Program); Regular Departmental Plantation Schemes; andMNREGA.

State CAMPA/ NPV: An initial allocation for rehabilitation of 1000 hectares per year under StateCAMPA/ NPV funds has already been made.

CAT Plans: Rehabilitation of areas infested with invasive alien plant species also forms integral part ofsome of the CAT Plans (e.g. UHL Stage-III). There is a need to work out the total areas to be tackled forthe purpose under various CAT Plans in the State to know the total extent of areas being tackled under thisbudget head.

MNREGA: This scheme offers a great potential for management of exotic weed infested areas. However,there are certain issues that need to be sorted out for achieving effective results. The major issues being (a)inclusion of exotic weed removal as integral part of the Panchayat’s annual development agenda, (b)making available able bodied registered beneficiaries at right time of the year to handle this strenuouswork, often away from the habitations (c) incorporation of nursery raising as one of the approved activitiesunder the scheme, (d) provision for at least three year maintenance of the treated areas.

Management of Invasive Alien Species on Non-Forest Lands

As already brought out, a large chunk of non-forest land mass in the State is also facing increasinginvasion of alien plant species. The situation is especially severe along road sides and waste lands/ fallowlands where heavy infestation by noxious exotic weeds has not only resulted in reduction in the traditionalgrazing grounds but has also become a cause of serious health hazard.

The State Rural Development Department, Agriculture Department, Horticulture Department, PublicWorks Department and the Municipal bodies will initiate appropriate measures for management of noxiousweeds on non-forest areas based on the broad strategy principles as brought out above.

53 | P a g e

It is expected that the above strategy will effectively guide the program to manage invasive alien plantspecies in the State in a time bound manner.

Note:

1. As the data was collected during winter months when species like Eupatorium & Parthenium arestill in dormancy, their incidence seems to be under-reported.

2. More than one species of exotic weeds seem to occur either in an intimate mixture or in distinctgregarious patches in the same forest.

3. Thus, any strategy for their management needs to be focus on rehabilitation of areas bysimultaneously removing all exotic weed species and should not be species specific.

Appendix 14 - Village Wise - Census & Economic Details

Method for Removal of LantanaRemoval of adult clumps using ‘Cut Root Stock’ (CRS) method: This method involves cutting the main tap root ofLantana plant beneath the ‘coppicing zone’ (transition zone between stem base and rootstock). This method ofremoval involves engagement of 2–3 individuals to work in a group for the removal of Lantana if the clumps are toolarge to be handled by one individual after the rootstock is cut. The steps involved in the cut rootstock method are:

(i) The person, who engages in removal of Lantana, is positioned in a way that he stands near centre of theLantana clump with his back facing the clump and holding the handle of digger (kudal).

(ii) Using the specially designed digger, the person cuts the main rootstock of Lantana 3–5 cm below the soilsurface by hitting the rootstock 3 or 4 times; while hitting the rootstock the blade of the digger gets lodgedinto the main tap root, and at this point it is useful to move the handle of the digger in the forward directionaway from the body of the person so as to severe the connection of the clump with the main tap root. In casethe clumps of Lantana form impenetrable thickets, it is advantageous to cut the rootstocks of 3–4 contiguousclumps to make the removal operation convenient. It may be noted that the branches of Lantana clumpsshould not be slashed/cut to gain access to the centre of the clump for its removal by cut rootstock method.The branches of Lantana thicket formed by more than one clump should be lifted and tipped over from oneend by using a wooden or bamboo pole of about 1.5–2.5 m long and diameter 5–6 cm which is inserted justbelow the branches from one side and rolled over easily by two workers holding the pole at either end andpressing it so as to reach the centre of the clump.

Such manual handling of impenetrable thicket makes it possible to reach the centre of clump easily, as otherwise itsumbrella type canopy makes it difficult to reach the main stem. Such physical manoeuvre also minimizes or preventsregeneration from rooted cut branches when they fall on the ground.

(i) Lift the clump/(s) and place the clump/(s) upside down. If the clump is not placed upside down, the prostraterooted branches and the aerial old branches having aerial roots at nodes may develop into adult plants whenthey come in contact with the soil. Therefore, the upside–down orientation of cut clumps is critical in theprevention of regeneration of Lantana from cut clumps. It may be noted that Lantana does not produce rootsuckers.

(ii) After drying the clumps, the clumps may be used as fuel or burnt at the same site or all the dried clumps maybe collected at one place and then burnt. The best time for removal of Lantana is just before rainy season, i.e.when the plants are not in flowering and fruiting.
