Baseline Environment:
Information on baseline environment was collected from secondary source of data for the environmental
parameters like climate, physiography (Geology and geomorphology), biological and socio-economic
environment of the project influence area. The environmental details have also been collected from
Primary source of data such as base maps prepared by reconnaissance survey, extrapolation of
environmental features on the proposed design, tree enumeration, Analysis for environmental parameters
such as Air, Water, Noise and Soil quality on the project road.
Stakeholder Consultation:
Consultation process during feasibility and environmental assessment has been conducted with the
objective of involving local affected communities and institutional stakeholders in the project planning
(participatory planning). Involvement of stakeholders and execution of suggested improvement from
stakeholders creates the sense of ownership among the communities of the region and eases the
implementation process. During the consultations specific suggestions, issues, and concerns were on bus
shelters, road safety, speed breakers, dust control, bypasses & realignments, foot paths, compensation
paid to the PAPs, Plantation of trees, conservation of natural water resources, etc.
Analysis of Alternatives:
The constituent road links of the EPC package were finalised after consideration of no project scenario,
project with alternative, project with mitigations were considered for exercising analysis of alternatives.
Options such as bypasses/realignments to avoid the places of congestion and human settlements;
realignments to avoid significant old trees, utilities and environmentally sensitive areas (forest lands,
erosion prone areas, flood regions, etc); different construction material options keeping in view traffic
condition, obligatory points, geometric designs, congestions and socio economic viability and other
environmental aspects of the region were also given due consideration during the impact assessment.
Environmental Impacts from the project road:
The objective of the project being up-gradation of the existing State Highways and Major District Roads
involve lesser to moderate impacts on surrounding environment and these situations do not call for full
scale Environmental assessment but do require impact identification, mitigation and a certain aspects of
compliance, monitoring and documentation.
The possible impacts of the project on the environment during the construction as well as operation of the
road include land consumption, removal of vegetation, fragmentation of natural habitat, removal
of buildings, loss of soil productivity, soil erosion, destabilization of slopes, side- tipping of
spoils material, loss of properties and temporary diversion of natural surface water flows,
vehicular emissions during construction and operation phase, release of hazardous gases due to
explosions/leak from the hazardous chemicals carrying transport trucks, impact during
construction activities due generation of fugitive dust from crusher units, and air emissions from
hot mix plants and vehicles used for transportation of materials; Impact on surface water flow
modification; Impact on ground water table modification; Impact on water quality degradation
(surface & ground water); Impact due to discharge of wastewater generation from the temporary
project camps/offices; effect of noise levels on nearby habitation during the construction and
operational phases of the project; Changes in water quality, soil profile, noise and air pollution
which may affect the nature and character of habitats; Loss of forest resources; Displacement of
human settlement from proposed site; Impact on community resources; Increase in road
accidents; Impact due to accelerated urbanization; positive impacts on the present status of
livelihood, economy of the region; etc. Impacts due to project may be summarized along with positive
impacts as follows.

Department (PWD) of the Government ofKarnataka (GoK), under the proposed World Bank loan, to
undertake improvement of 4887.5 km of roads consisting of State Highways and major District
Roads. These roads were selected on the basis of a Strategic Option Study (SOS) carried out in 2003.
To facilitate this job the Government of Karnataka has appointed MIs Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick UK
and Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick India as the Project Coordinating Consultants (peC) to carry out the
Feasibility study for the road up gradation. Based on the Feasibility study, the GoK selected 268.59
Km of roads for up gradation in a phased manner under KSHIP-II, EPC.
The scope of the feasibility study included preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Report on the roads selected for tip gradation in KSHIP-ll, EPC as per the Guidelines of the Ministry
of Environment and Forests (MoEF) of the Government of India (Gol) and to meet the requirements
of the World Bank as per its operational policy OP 4.01.

Environmental mitigation and enhancement:
This chapter narrates the different remedial measures to be taken up for avoidance of negative
environmental impacts. Impacts can be avoided completely for certain stretches by no project
alternative. Reduction in the intensity of impact is possible by taking mitigation measures and changes
in the design, construction methodology, construction materials, etc. Some of the generalized
mitigation measures include.
Safe debris and construction waste disposal with compaction and turfing.
Conservation of fertile topsoil.
Dust mitigation measures during the construction phase.
Slope stabilization and soil erosion control measures.
Conservation of surface water bodies along the project corridor.
Provision of solid or vegetative noise barriers for silent receptors such as schools, hospitals
and civil courts.
Environmental monitoring for air, water, noise and soil during the construction and
operational phases.
Compensatory aforestation against the total impacted trees due to project.
Rehabilitation ofhand pumps, public water supplies an(i wells.
Impact mitigation for religious structures and other cultural properties.
Provision of required number of cross drainage structure to retain the original surface
hydrological flows.
Biodiversity conservation.
Reuse or safe disposal of hazardous waste materials such as scarified bitumen.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Kamataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHIP) - II, initial priority roads cover 826.6
kms. The aim of the project is to improve the performance of the State's road transport network by
improving road conditions and capacity, and to improve the State's capacity to plan, develop and
maintain the Kamataka roads network. The roads have been categorised in two for engineering and
contracting purpose. The KSHIP II consists of 269.4 kms of EPC roads consisting of 5 packages and
557.3 kms of roads under annuity contract consisting of 4 packages. All these road are planned for
upgradation with a 7 m carriage way . The 826.6kms 'o f roads will serve 14 districts and 30 taluks.
According to the categorization of taluks given in the High Power Committee for Redressal of
Regional Imbalances Report of 2002, the KSHIP -II Stage I covers (i) 8 most backward taluks (ii) 6
more backward taluk (iii) 8 backward taluks and (iv) 8 relatively developed taluks. The KSHIP -II
Stage I roads have been selected based on the Feasibility Study conducted by the PWD for proposed
KSHIP-n.
Census socio- economic surveys were conducted on the upgradation roads, for a Corridor of Impact
between 16 m and 22 m keeping in view the design requirements. According to the census survey
there are 3361 PAFs and 14739 PAPs. There are 266 women headed households. The 180 tribal PAFs
identified. Of the total Project Affected Families (PAFs), major impact is on 1805 families, and minor
impacts are on 1555 PAFs. The project will impact 1646 community structures. There is no impact on
archaeological sites. All community structures will be relocated by the project authorities before
demolition.
The Land Acquisition Plan has been completed for the EPC" packages. Land acquisition for the
project is estimated at 179.983 hectares of private land which needs to be acquired and 6.4 hectares of
government land which has to be transferred from other Government Departments.
Public consultations were held in all the packages, focusing. on areas of impact due to widening, at
places congestion with impacts on buildings and where major common property resources are getting
affected- such as any religious structures etc. The out come of the consultations were used to prepare
the Social Impact Assessment and for analysis of alternatives and minimizing negative impact of the
project. Outcome of consultations were incorporated at the Policy level and through designs. 25
meetings have been held covering around 2500 participants. The consultations have helped in not only
achieving the social assessment objectives, but also assisted in gathering suggestions for mitigation of
adverse impacts, improvement in designs and facilitating inputs for the resettlement plan preparation
and implementation.
The GOK will adopt a Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) Policy for KSHIP- II to address the
adverse impacts arising out of this project on the line of National Policy of Resettlement and
Rehabilitation 2007. The policy adopted for the project is consistent with the World Banks
Involuntary Resettlement Policy. This RAP is prepared in accordance with the stipulations and guidelines provided in Public Works Departmental Code Government of Kamatakat, and the project
specific Resettlement and Rehabilitation: - Principles and Policy Framework for the Karnataka State
Highways Improvement Project, The National Resettlement and Resettlement Policy 2007 and The
World Bank Policy as given in Operational Policy 4.12. In addition to the above measures, realizing
the need of infrastructure development like roads in timely manner, the PWD GOK has decided to
acquire the land through the legislation called "The Kamataka Highways Act 1964"(KHA,1964). The
KHA, 1964 provides the opportunity to acquire the land through consent award. It is expected that
I

land acquisition under this Act will help the PAPs to receive the market price/replacement cost of land
as compensation. The GOK has already initiated the process of establishing the Negotiation
Committee. The role of the committee will be to negotiate the price of land with the beneficiary. The
guidance value of the land will be considered for negotiation. Minimum negotiated price for the
Districts of Bangalore Urban, Bangalore Rural, Chikkaballapur, Kolar, Ramnagaram, Mysore,
Davangere, Belgaum and Dakshin Kannada will be 1.5 times the Guidance Value. For all the other
districts other than those mentioned the minimum price will be 2 times the guidance value
Some of the entitlements include payment of compensation through negotiation according to the
KHA; additional 25% compensation for those becoming marginal farmers; eligibility of bagar hukum
land losers; grant for replacement of cattle .shed; alternative house or developed plot +construction
cost for those losing house; additional 25% compensation for partially affected structures towards
reconstruction; income generating assets up to Rs.75,000 for those losing commercial structures;
Rental allowance for tenants; non titleholders to get alternate house or developed plot + construction
cost, for commercial structures alternate shop or income generating asset; employees losing
livelihood will be given a one time payment; vulnerable groups including physically challenged and
those above 60 years will be given a lump sum amount as assistance; and all community assets will be
replaced and reconstructed.
This RAP will be implemented by Kamataka PWD-PIU Social Development Resettlement Cell with
support from NGOs. The Special DC LA will be responsible for land acquisition activities and the
Chief Administrative Officer will be responsible for all Resettlement and rehabilitation works. A
grievance redressal cell will be constituted. The grievance redressal process specifies procedures for
registering and addressing complaints including appeal mechanisms. The Government of Kamatlika
has initiated the process of establishing a 3 member Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) with the
Deputy Commissioner as the Chairman in ea~h project district. An independent agency will be hired
for Monitoring and Evaluation support. Concurrent Evaluation will be only for mid term evaluation.
End evaluation will be carried out at the end of implementation which will be done by a different
independent agency.
The RAP provides the implementation schedule which is linked to the commencement of civil works.
The civil works for the first milestone will commence in December 2009. The R&R and land
acquisition for milestone - 1 is targeted to be completed by November 2009. The RAP will be
implemented over a period of 3 years starting from 1st October 2009. Implementation activities
include land acquisition process, relocation and rehabilitation and monitoring. Various income
restoration schemes have been identified during the course of social survey and the public
consultations, which have been integrated for income restoration
The estimated total budget for the implementation of RAP is Rs. 147.83 Crore.
In addition, copies will be kept in: (i)

State Government Library at Bangalore; (ii) - District libraries of the 14 districts of the project; and
(iii) in the Panchayat offices along the project roads. The RAP document will also be available at the
World Bank Info Shop at Washington DC and New Delhi as per the Disclosure Requirements ofBP
17.50 of the WB.
CHAPTER I - INTRODUCTION
Background
1.1. The Kamataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHIP) - II, initial priority roads cover
826.6 kms. The roads have been categorised in two for engineering and contracting purpose. It
consists of 269.4 kms of EPC roads consisting of 5 packages and 557.3 kms of roads under
annuity contract consisting of 4 packages. All these road are planned for upgradation with a 7 m
carriage way. Upgradation will have direct lindirect impact on the population along the project
corridor. Common property resources, residential structures, commercial structures are likely to
be affected. Non-titleholders within the ROW are likely to be displaced.
Description of the project

1.2.
The 826.6kms of roads will serve 14 districts and 30 taluks. According to the categorization of
taluks given in the High Power Committee for Redressal of Regional Imbalances Report of
2002, the KSHIP -II Stage I covers (i) 8 most backward taluks (ii) 6 more backward taluk (iii) 8
backward taluks and (iv) 8 relatively developed taluks. The KSHIP -II Stage I roads have been
selected based on the Feasibility Study conducted by the PWD for proposed KSHIP-II. The
826.6 km of roads for upgradation were selected through a detailed economic, sociai2 (the
details of selection process of roads can be seen from Social Impact Assessment report),
environmental and technical criteria using the Highway Design Module programme (HDM-IV),
covering 4887 kms. The location Map of the packages has been provided in Annex 1.1.

2 Multi-Criteria Analysis and Corridor selection

Selection of road corridors for inclusion in the proposed project has been determined mainly on economic efficiency criteria. using the
HDM-4 model. But there are other criteria that are not included in that analysis, or not dealt with adequately. Therefore the economic
efficiency ranking was modified by means of multi-criteria analysis (MCA).
Two additional criteria addressing social impacts have been introduced:
Redressal of regional imbalances.
Improved taluk connectivity.
These are important objectives of State Government policy, and road construction or improvement is one of the key means of addressing
them. These objectives and the approach to accommodating them in the MCA are explained below.
A third social criterion was considered: assistance to members of scheduled tribes to access essential services and enter the mainstream
economy. But it was concluded that:
Along the project roads the ST population is already integrated with the general population, rather than living in distinct and isolated
communities.
Any disadvantages suffered by the ST population were already taken into account as regional imbalances.

Physical Characteristics of the pr:oject area

1.3. The project roads cut across the entire State of Karnataka, with each of the road sections having
distinct characteristics. The eighth largest state of India, Karnataka is situated in the south of
India. It is ranked eighth both area and population wise. Karnataka is located on the western end
of the Deccan plateau, encircled by the state of Maharashtra and Goa on the north, Andhra
Pradesh on the east, and Tamil Nadu and Kerala on the south. The Arabian Sea is on the west.
Karnataka has representatives of all types of variations in topography - high mountains,
plateaus, residual hills and coastal plains. The State is enclosed by chains of mountains to its
west, east and south. It consists mainly of plateau which has higher elevation of 600 to 900
meters above mean sea level. The entire landscape is undulating broken up by mountains and
deep ravines. Plain land of elevation less than 300 meters ab~ve mean sea level is to be found
only in the narrow coastal belt, facing the Arabian Sea. There are quite a few high peaks both in
Western and Eastern Ghat systems with altitudes more than 1,500 meters. A series of crosssections drawn from west to east across the Western Ghat generally exhibit, a narrow coastal
plain followed to the east by small and short plateaus at different altitudes, then suddenly rising
upto great heights. Then follows the gentle east and east-north-west sloping plateau. Among the
tallest peaks of Karnataka are the Mullayyana Giri (1,925m), Bababudanagiri (Chandradrona
Parvata, 1,894 m) and the Kudremukh (1,895 m) all in Chikkamagalur district and the
Pushpagiri (1,908 m) in Kodagu district. There are a dozen peaks which rise above the height of
1,500 meters. The percentage of area coming under different elevations is as follows: less than
150 metres-5.l6; 150 to 300 metres-1.95; 300 to 600 metres-43.51; 600 to 1,350 metres-48.84
and more than 1,350 metres-0.57.
The State has four physiographic regions. The roads selected for KSHIP -II passes through the
regions mentioned below:
1.4.
Northern Karnataka Plateau: Northern Karnataka Plateau comprises of the districts of

Belgaum, Bidar, Bijapur, Bagalkot and Gulbarga. It is largely composed of Deccan Trap. It
represents & monotonous treeless extensive plateau landscape with a general elevation of 300 to
600 meters from the mean sea level. However the river plains of the Krishna, the Bhima, the
Ghataprabha and the Malaprabha with the intervening watersheds, the step like landscapes,
lateritic scarpments, residual hills and ridges break the monotony of this extensive plateau. The
general slope is towards east and this region is largely covered with rich black cotton soils
(Expansive Soil). The roads covered in this region are: Package WEP5, Chowdapur Gulbarga, WAP2, Mudhol- Mahalingapur, Mahalingpur - Kabbur, Kabbur - Chikodi, Chikodi
- Nippani and WAP4, Managuli - Talikota and Talikota - Devapur. In this region, major crops
grown are Tobacco, Sugar cane, Jawar, Sunflower, Toor, Groundnut, Soya bean and maize.
1.5. Central Karnataka Plateau: Central Karnataka Plateau covers the districts of Bellary,
Chikkamagalur, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Raichur, Koppal and
Shimoga. The region represents the transitional surface between the Northern Karnataka Plateau
with relatively higher surface. By and large, this region represents the area of Tungabhadra
basin. The general elevation varies between 450 and 700 meters. However, this transitional
ground is broken by several sets of parallel ridges mainly made up of Dharwar system of rocks.
The height of such residual hills is about 900 meters above mean sea level. The general slope of
this region is towards the east. The roads covered in this region are: WEP2, Hanagal - Tadasa,
Haveri - Hanagal, WEP3, Dharwad- Saundatti, WEP4, Tinthini - Devadurga and Devadurga Kalmala. The major crops growing in these places are Sunflower, Paddy, Maize, Groundnut,
Cotton, Flowers, Wheat, Ragi,. Bajra, Chillies, Coconut and Arecanut.
1.6. Southern Karnataka Plateau: Southern Karnataka Plateau covers the districts of Bangalore,
Bangalore Rural, Hassan, Kodagu, Kolar, Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagar and Tumkur. This
region largely covers the area of the Cauvery basin lying in Karnataka. It is bounded by 600
meters contour and is characterized by a higher degree of slope. In the west and south it is
enclosed by the ranges of Western Ghats and the northern part is an interrupted but clearly
identifiable high plateau. In the east the valleys of the Cauvery and its tributaries open out to
form undulating plains. The general elevation of the region varies from 600 to 900 meters.
However residual heights of 1,500 to 1,750 meters are found in the Biligirirangan hills of
Mysore district and the Brahmagiri range of Kodagu district. The roads covered in this region
are: WEPI, Hoskote - H Cross, H Cross - Chintamani, WAPI, Malavalli -Maddur, MaddurHuliyurdurga, Huliyurdurga - Kunigal, Kunigal- Tumkur, Tumkur - Koratgere, Koratgere Madhugiri and Madhugiri - Pavagada. In this region major crops grown are Sugarcane, Paddy,
Ragi, Coconut, Areca nut, Vegetables, Groundnut, Mulbury plants and Maize. Kolar district is
famous for sericulture, diary and Gold mining.
1.7. Karnataka Coastal Region: The Karnataka Coastal Region, which extends between the
Western Ghats edge of the Karnataka Plateau in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west, covers
Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttar Kannada districts. There are no roads under this projects in
the coastal region
Magnitude of impacts
1.8. The project will impact 14735PAPs and 3361 PAFs. Of the total affected families major impact
of the project is on 1739 families and minor impacts on 1547 families. Major impacts are where
the PAF is either displaced due to the loss of house or has lost his means of livelihood, either
agricultural or commercial; this category also includes those like to become marginal farmers
due to the impact of the project. The total private land acquisition for the project is 176.79 ha,
and Govt. land to be transferred is 7.13 .

Resettlement Implementation Plan and updation of survey information

1.9. Package wise Resettlement Implementation Plan will be prepared on the completion of the Land
Acquisition Plans. These plans will cover all information concerned with land acquisition and
R&R issues for the particular package; baseline census surveys and consultations and
implementation mechanisms. After the completion of Land Acquisition Plans and issue of
section 17 notification, the NGO will conduct the census survey of the land losers, and update
the same in the database.
Objectives
1.10. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is a project specific RAP, which outlines the extent of
impacts due to road improvements on communities and the mitigation of the potential impacts.
It details necessary implementation procedures for resettlement and rehabilitation. This RAP is
prepared in accordance with the stipulations and guide-lines provided in Public Works
Departmental Code Government of Kamataka,3, and the project specific Resettlement and
Rehabilitation: - Principles and Policy Framework for the 'Karnataka State Highways
Improvement Project -II funded by the World Bank, The National Resettlement and
Resettlement Policy and Bill 2007 and The World Banks Operational Policy 4.12 and 4.20. As
the village wise land acquisition plans are yet to be complete for all the Packages (2 packages
have been completed), the total number of Title holder PAPs in this report are based on broad
estimations. With in this given background the objective of RAP is:
a. To Identify adverse impacts and determine how they could be overcome or substantially
mitigated with the implementation of Kamataka State Highways Improvement Project-II;
b. To present the entitlements for the affected persons for payment of compensation and
assistance for establishing the livelihoods and ;
c. To present an action plan for the delivery of compensation and assistance in accordance with
the policy adopted for the project.
d. To prepare an action plan for the project affected people for improving or at least retaining the
living standards in the post resettlement period.
Approach to Resettlement Planning
1.11, During the census survey it was seen that road widening and improvement will have some
impact on residences, businesses, shrines, places of worship, agricultural land, community
assets. Most of the infrastructure work planned for the project as far as possible will take place
within the established ROW. In most cases, the land required for the project is immediately
adjacent to the current carriageway. The additional land required by the project falls under
several classifications: (i)Public land owned by the State Government and administered by other
Departments such as Revenue; (ii) Public land owned by villages or other local governments;
and (iii) Private land.
PWD Departmental Code is in the process of being finalized.
10
Kamataka State Highways Improvement Project -II
The RAP is prepared to ensure that:

a. The displaced persons are: (i) infonned about their options and rights pertammg to
resettlement; (ii) consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and
economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and (iii) provided prompt and effective
compensation at fuJI replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly .to the project;
b.Displaced persons are: (i) provided assistance (such as shifting allowance, transition
allowance, economic rehabilitation grant etc.) during relocation; and (ii) provided with
residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required compensated for agricultural sites;
c. To ensure that displaced persons are : i) offered support after displacement, for a transition
period, to restore their livelihood and standards of living; (ii) provide with development
assistance in addition to compensation measures, such as credit facilities, training, or job
opportunities; and (iii) at least improving or retaining the living standards in the post
resettlement period.
Right of Way and Corridor ofImpact
1.12. The Right of Way is the lawful1y acquired corridor of public land owned by the State
Government and administered by the PWD for the transit of the existing road. Using available
records with the PWD and the Revenue Department, the social team verified the boundaries of
private properties within and in the vicinity of likely corridor of impact. The preparation of the
Land Acquisition Plan is being facilitated through the verification of land records, updated
records for the ownership of land.
1.13. For this project, preparation of RAP associated with displacement is limited to the corridor of
impact. The corridor of impact is the width required for the actual construction of the road,
including carriageway, shoulder, embankments and longitudinal drainage. Within this corridor
there should be no structures or hindrances. The objective of social input to project design is to
ensure that the corridor of impact is reduced, within acceptable design principles and standards,
to minimise displacement and other project impacts. Those affected between the Corridor of
Impact and Right of Way during the lifetime of the project will be assisted in line with this
project Entitlement Policy, if they are required to be affected for any additional work required
for this project.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Project Background
The Kamataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHlP) is an initiatiye by the Public Works
Department (PWD) of the Government of Kamataka (GOK), under the proposed World Bank loan, to
undertake improvement of 4887.5 km of roads consisting of State Highways and major District
Roads. These roads were selected on the basis of a Strategic Option Study (SOS) carried out in 2003.
To facilitate this job the Government of Kamataka has appointed Ws Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick UK
and Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick India as the Project Coordinating Consultants (pCC) to carry out the
Feasibility study for the road up gradation. Based on the Feasibility study, the GOK selected 268.59
Km of roads for up gradation in a phased manner under KSHlP-II, EPC Package.

Environmental Mitigation and Enhancement measures
To achieve the environmental management standards, EMP has been prepared for the road project as
per the requirements of World Bank OP 4.01. Mitigation measures have been devised in such a way
that the contractor would be able to execute accurately. All studies relating to the project has finally
come out with an implement able environmental mitigation & enhancement plans. This plan has been
recommended for feasible and cost-effective measures to avoid, prevent or reduce significant negative
imj)acts to acceptable levels. Apart from mitigation of the potential adverse impacts on the
environmental components, the EMP identified opportunities that exist for the enhancement of
cultural properties along the corridor; some road user facilities such as bus Jaybys and waiting sheds
(part of civil work) and parking areas. In order to implement the environmental management plan
contractor need to prepare specific plans for, Debris (Muck) disposal plan (Includes collection,
transportation, haul roads and disposal); Construction phase water management plan; Management
plan for construction camp, Labour camps; Management plan for plant sites (WWM plant, Hot mix,
Crushers etc.,); Accidents, Safety and Traffic management plan. EMP includes detailed specifications,
bill of quantities (BOQ), execution drawings and contracting procedures for execution of the
environmental mitigation and enhancement measures suggested. Since the project is to be
implemented under ICB contracting, highest standards of project planning, project management and
project implementation are to be maintained. Therefore the contractor needs to resort to international
good practices not only in the implementation of EMP but also in the construction activities. The
success of the project management is directly linked to the effective implementation of the EMP
measures. AU mitigation measures, avoidance m.:asures and environmental enhancement measures
recommended are to be implemented in a timely and phased milIlIler. Proper understanding of all
environmental management measures especially the EMAP is a pre-requisite for an those working
from the contractor's side.
The institutional arrangements required at the PWD, contractors and the esc (Construction
Supervision Consultant) have been dermed properly for the smooth implementation of the project
components. A positive attitude from the project management and the individual professional or staffs
are always a prerequisite for success of the EMP implementation.
The EMP specifies the environmental supervision, monitoring and auditi~g requirements. The
monitoring programmt' specify parameters, reference standards, monitoring method. frequency,
duration, location, reporting responsibilities, and other inputs (e.g., training). The EMAP on the other
h~ p~ovides an action plan showing the mitigation measures, time 6f in'plementation, who will
implement, at what locatim and who will supervise etc., This is provided for pre-construction,
construction and post construction stages. The EMPlisted all mandatory government clearance
condition, and the statutes for procuring clearances.

SUMMARY OF IMPACTS
The project impacts during various phases of the implementation on all the environmental parameters
like Air, Noise, Water, Land and Socio economic factors are discussed in brief in this chapter. The
Table 2.9 provides a Summary of the project impacts.
I'

i
Air Environment
Air quality is generally good whole along the project road except along the poorly maintained areas.
These areaS are highly dust prone and require sprinkling of water for suppression of the dust. There
are no polluting industries in PIA or adjoining areas. The project road has extensive agricultural areas
on both sides.
2.1

t
Air quality along the project road alignment will be adversely impacted at oongested locations and
major urban settlements locations like Dharwad and Saundati,. The area will be impacted by air
pollution both during construction and operation stages. Construction stage impacts will be of short
term and have adverse impacts on the construction workers as well as on the settlements adjacent to
the alignment, especially those in the downwind direction. Operation stage impacts will not be as
severe as the construction stage impacts and these will be confined generally to a ribbon development
close to edge of the pavement. However, there will be continued enhancement of air pollution due to
increase in number of vehicles in the roads. It is difficult to predict the pollution level from Vehicle
since it is not known how the adoption of new technology vehicles would proceed. It is however,
possible to assess the future pollution load on the assumption that the old technology vehicle would
persist. The unit load of pollutants from different type of vehicles have been estimated uDder the same
assumption by the Indian Institute of Petroleum which is presented in Table2.1

aggregates and sand at locations of batch mixing plants
It can be observed from the ambient air quality of the project area Except increase in suspended
particulate .matter all other air quality parameters such as RPM, NOx, SOx, Pb, CO and HC are within
the limits of ambient air quality standard.
2.1.1
...
...
Operation Stage
The introduction of new pavement will smoothen and widen the road, so the generation of fugitive
dust is reduced during the operation stage and with suitable pitching and embankment turfing will
control the erosion and dust emission.
The levels of S02, HC and NOx are likely to come down to greater extent by the operations of new
roads with extensive savings in consumption of fuel. There will be reduction of toxic gases being
released. There may be localized impact from pollution with increase in number of vehicles running
on the road, adulterated fuel supply and poor maintenance of vehicles.
...
...
.a
..
-...
....
,..,
...
The measures for the avoidance and mitiption measures for controlling the air pollution are in table
3.1 Environmental mitigation plan. The increase in the Width of pavement and landscaping decreases
the dust levels created by traffic will decrease during operational phase.
2.1
Noise Environment
The baseline noise levels monitored in the project area indicate baseline noise level, which exceeds
.the permissible limits for silence areas SI:lCh as schools, courts and hospitals. For other land uses the
noise levels are well within the specified limits. But noise levels would increase significantly during
construction phase due to movement of construction machinery and vehicles during construction &
operation respectively. Thus, noise is a major area of concern, especially since a number of sensitive
receptors have been located within Impact zone and are close to RoW.
The impacts on noise due to the project will be of significance in both the construction as well as the
operation stages.
2.2.1
Impact of Noise during Pre-Constructlon Stage and Constrnction Stage
Noise levels during the pre construction stage are mostly expected to be indicative of prevalent
baseline levels apart from localised noise levels at locations where pre construction stage activities
such as establishment of workers camps, stockyards are taking place. There will be increased noise
levels due diversion of traffic on unpaved roads only for a short duration during the pre construction
stage. Moreover, as these activities are not likely to be placed near settlement locations the increased
noise impact is bound to be negligible.
Various activities of road construction will increase noise levels in impacts zone of the project
conidor. The construction activities includes the excavation fOr foundations and grading of the site and
the construction of structures and facilities, mowment of hP.tlvy vehicles, 1..>8ding, transportation and
unloading of construction materials and also there will be indirect influence which will be cumulative
to ambient noise level due to activities such as blasting at stone quany sites, crJShing plants, asphalt
production plants, proch:ce significant noise during construction stage.
Enhancement in noise levels depend on many key factors such as traffic intensity, type and condition
of the vehicles plying on the road, acceleration/deceleration/gear changes by the vehicles depending
on the level of congestion and smoothness of road surface (iRe: 104-1988).

Impact of noise during operation Stage
With the introduction of new pavement, road will be smoothened and widening of road at congested
locations, reduces the generation of noise level during the operation stage. However, there will be
negligIble impact from usage of poorly maintained vebicles and old vehicles.

The adverse impacts from the increase of noise during coostruction phase on the near by community
will be reduced by several construction pbase mitigation plans. All posSIble mechanical and
administrative controls will be practiced to reduce the adverse impacts on the workers. In unavoidable
situations personal protective equipments (PPE) such as earmuffs and earplugs will be provided to the
workers based on the nature of works.

Number of sensitive receptors for the construction of noise barriers bas been identified and the details
are presented in Appendix -6. These locations bave been identified based on proximity of the sensitive
receptors (Schools and Hospitals) to the road traffic and the abseoce of.wall or the inadequate height
of the existing walls. Provision bas been made for additional barriers identified during construction
pbase. In all areas of identified noise barriers. public will be advised how the noise levels can be
reduced by barriers such as solid walls and vegetative noise barriers. The project does not recommend
expensive double glazed windows as an economically viable impact mitigation measure.
2.3
Water Environment
The water environment is generally good but is being polluted by the large-scale horticultural
activities prevailing in the PIA. In the PIA area, agriculture is the main land use. Agriculture requires
application of pesticides and Fertilizers. This is a major contamjnation source for the Ground water in
the project road. Otherwise the water quality has been good in above road link.

There are no major rivers in the impact zone..There are two tributaries of Tupari stream in the
impact zone. There are a few ponds and canals along the project road. To facilitate the crossdrainage structW'es have been proposed including improvements in the existing structures not
to affect the existing drainage system in the project implementation area. The surface water
flow in the project area is predominantly from the west to east.
The lCK:al community js using ponds for washing. cattle feeding, and Malaprabba river for other daily
needs. Some of these will be slightly impacted during the CODS1rUCtion of road. The general ground
water contour lies at 600 Mt above Mean Sea Level. Local community is depCndant on the hand
pumps, tube wells and wells and those which will be impacted due to widening needs tobe relocated
before the project starts. Number of water supply units likely affected is given in Tabk 2.4.

water issue, no major pollution points have been identified through out the length. No construction
waste shall be disposed off in to the water bodieslvalley/nala. The construction vehicles arc prohibited
from entering the water bodies for any purpose (including cleaning) other than the legitimate
requirements to avoid major pollution points due to Petroleum oil and lubricants.
It is very fundamental to conserve the water by way of constructing recharge pits wherever feastble in
along the project road. These recharge pits harvest rainwater from road surface to improve the ground
water table. Refer Appendix -2 for typical drawing.

The construction water requirement could be an issue during construction at certain stretches of the
project road. As a part of the planning, contractor has to prepare a contractors construction water
management plan as per the guidelines provided inAppen4ix -15.

Most of the available stone material along the project area is Slates, Phyllites, Schists, Charnockites
and gneisse. The metals required for the road construction is available very close to road emoute. Use
of explosive is absolutely necessary to break open the aggreptes in stone quarry in order to use these
materials, Contractor will have to establish a number of crushers along the project route impact will be
vecy large and permanent in nature.
There will be exploitation of natural resources and it also reduces natural beauty of the landscape and
alters contours of the geographical region. There will be formation of deep and large depression from
the quarry operations. This will be fatal for both the animals and humans in case fiill in to depressions
from surrounding habitat. Some times there is possibility of flying fragments of stones .from
uncontrolled blasting using explosives surrounding to quarry area prevails

Suspended particulate matter generated leads to degeneration of plant species and retards the growth
of plant species as it reduces the transpiration process and also there will be considerable impact over
the occupational workers in the quarries. During monsoon there will be collection of water in deep
ditches this serves as breeding sites for mosquitoes.
Borrow material includes gravel, murrum and sand. Generally gravel is collected from the wasteland,
which is notified from Government or with the consent of farmers in case of Wmland. Sand will be
collected from river valleys this alters the course of flow and velocity of flow of water. in rivers.
Transport of the borrow materials to the construction sites is of significance, as almost all such areas
are accessible through dirt tracks. Spillage and compaction of soil along these tracks will be a
significant impact. Special transport facilities with special measures are required to transport
bituminous material from the refineries to work sites, as they are highly inflammable and to control
accidental spills. Proper protection measures need to be worlced out for the minimjzing of such
impacts during the haulage of borrows materials. A major source of dust during the construction stage
is from stone crushing operations from the crusher and the vibrating screen. The dust, in addition
causes an eyesoN, reduces visibility thereby increasing safety concems. Rehabilitation of borrows
areas from which earth bas been excavated, is a potentia1problem, which needs to be addressed and
need to comply with managem.cnt plan Appendix - 17. m r.dditionto visual light. safety issues shall
also be considered. The major sites that likely affected from the proposed road development are given
in Table 2.5.

In addition to the above arrangements, Contractor will have to establish dedicated environmentally
compatible crusher units to generate adequate sand and aggregates so as to effectively utilim the
excavated materials during Construction.
1.4.1 Land use Impact

The major land use in the project area is extensive agriculture and existence of settlement at locations
of village and small towns having active commercial and economic activity along the roadside. The
accurate surveys and accurate markings and negotiations will determine land use changes and finalize
the alignment to minimize acquisition procedure. Any additional land available must be put to use for

specified by the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
2.4.1.1 Land use Impact at Construction pbase
During construction phase contractor activity will go beyond Building line. Even in secondary
construction sites like borrow areas, quarry sites and water resource points the contractor's activity
will cross the limit depending upon the demand for material aVailability. These will create demand and
disturbances to the near by agricultural area, built up area etc. In case of any such issues it should be
cleared within shortest period. Potential community impact related to economy growth are closely
related to land acquisition, aesthetic and landscape considerations; noise, air quality etc., Other than
the mitigation in these area no additional mitigation actions are warranted.

All trees of girth size more than 30 cm cut and removed will be accountable as per the Forest
laws and efforts will be maintained to plant two times the number of trees cut according to
compensatory afforestation guidelines.
There are no forested sections along the project road.
The widening proposed in the non-forest locations will consume the productive agricultural
land, which has potential to grow crops. The increase in suspended particulate matter has
significant impact over the productivity of the crop during construction.

SUMMARY OF IMPACTS
2.1
Air Environment
These areas are highly dust prone and require sprinkling of water for suppression of the dust. There
on both sides.
Air quality along the project road alignment will be adversely impacted at congested locations and
major settlements locations like Jalahalli and devadurga. The area will be impacted by air pollution
both during construction and operation stages. Construction stage impacts will be of short term and
have adverse impacts on the construction workers as well as on the settlements adjacent to the
alignment, especially those in the downwind direction. Operation stage impacts will not be as severe
as the construction stage impacts and these will be confined generally to a ribbon development close to
edge of the pavement. However, there will be continued enhancement of air pollution due to increase
in number of vehicles in the roads. It is difficult to predict the pollution level from vehicle since it is
not known how the adoption of new technology vehicles would proceed. It is however, possible to
assess the future pollution load on the assumption that the old technology vehicle would persist. The
unit load of pollutants from different type of vehicles have been estimated under the same assumption
by the Indian Institute of Petroleum which is presented in Table2.1

will be reduced by several construction phase mitigation plans. All possible mechanical and
situations personal protective equipments (PPE) such as ear muffs and earplugs will be provided to
the workers based on the nature of works.
Number of sensitive receptors for the construction of noise barriers has been identified and the details
are presented in Appendix -6. These locations have been identified based on proximity of the sensitive
receptors (Schools and Hospitals) to the road traffic and the absence of wall or the inadequate height
of the existing walls. Provision has been made for additional barriers identified during construction
phase. In all areas of identified noise barriers, public will be advised how the noise levels can be

the project road otherwise the water quality has been good in above road link.
There are a few tributaries in the impact zone. There is only one major krishna river in the
influence zone. There are no ponds, lakes (lentic water bodies) across the project road. To
facilitate the cross-drainage structures have been proposed including improvements in the
existing structures not to affect the existing drainage system in the project implementation
area. The surface water flow in the project area is predominantly from the west to east.
The local community is using these sources of water for their daily needs. Some of these will
be impacted during construction phase of project road. The general water contours varies
from 400 to 600 Mt above Mean Sea Level. The project area has low ground water table due
to scanty rainfall and over extraction of ground water for irrigation utilities. Local community

water issue. no major pollution points have been identified through out the length. No construction
waste shall be disposed off in to the water bodies. The construction vehicles are prohibited from
entering the water bodies for any purpose (including for cleaning) other than the legitimate
requirements to avoid major pollution points due to petroleum oil and lubricants used in vehicles and
construction equipments.
It is very fundamental to conserve the water by way of constructing recharge pits wherever feasible
along the project road. These recharge pits harvest rain water from road surface to improve the ground
project road. As a part of the planning, contractor has to prepare construction water management plan
as per the guidelines provided in Appendix -15.

Land Environment
Most of the available stone material along the project area is basaltic trap, sand stone, shale, slate,
gneiss and granitic schist. These metals required for the road construction is available very close to
road enroute. Use of explosive is absolutely necessary to break open the aggregates in stone quarry. In
order to use these materials, contractor will have to establish a number of crushers along the project

In addition to the above arrangements, contractor will have to establish dedicated environmentally
compatible crusher units to generate adequate sand and aggregates and effectively utilize the
excavated materials during construction.
2.4.1
Land use Impact
The major land use in the project area is extensive agriculture and existence of settlements at locations
specified in the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
2.4.1.1 Land use Impact at Construction phase

During construction phase contractor's activity will go beyond building line. Even in secondary
construction sites like borrow areas, quarry sites and water resource points, the contractor's activity
will cross the limit depending upon the demand for material availability. These will create demand and
disturbance to the near by agricultural area, built up area etc. In case of any such issues it should be
related to land acquisition, aesthetic and landscape considerations; noise, air quality, etc. Other than
the mitigation in these areas, no additional mitigation actions are warranted.

of fauna in the near by vicinity of the project roads.
The common traffic - animal conflict or accidents by rash driving or break down of vehicles leads to
death of cattle and other domestic animals. These conflicts are minor in nature which can be resolved
with cash compensation pay to the owners. Some times there will be chemical spill or indiscriminate
disposal of bituminous materials in the area. These toxic foreign materials may enter surrounding

major urban settlements locations like Gulbarga. The area will be impacted by air pollution both
dwing construction and operation stages. Construction stage impacts will be of short term and have
adverse impacts on the construction workers as well as on the settlements adjacent to the alignment,
especially those in the downwind direction. Operation stage impacts will not be as severe as the
construction stage impacts and these will be confined generally to a n'bbon development close to edge
of the pavement. However, there will be continued enhancement of air pollution due to increase in
number of vehicles in the roads. It is difficult to predict the pollution level from vehicle since it is not
known how the adoption of new technology vehicles would proceed. It is hOwever, possible to assess
the futW'e pollution load on the assumption that the oldtecbnology vehicle would persist. The unit load
of pollutants from different type of vehicles have been estimated under the same assumption by the
Indian Institute of Petroleum which is presented in Table1.1

major urban settlement location like Hanagal. The area will be impacted by air pollution both during
construction and operation stages. Construction stage impacts will be of short term and have adverse
impacts on the construction workers as well as on the settlements adjacent to the alignment, especially
those in the downwind direction. Operation stage impacts will not be as severe as the construction
stage impacts and these will be confined generally to a ribbon development close to edge of the
pavement. However, there will be continued enhancement of air pollution due to increase in number of
vehicles in the roads. It is difficult to predict the pollution level from vehicle since it is not known how
the adoption of new technology vehicles would proceed. It is however, possible to assess the future
pollution load on the assumption that the old technology vehicle would persist. The unit load of
pollutants from different type of vehicles have been estimated under the same assumption by the
Indian Institute of Petroleum which is presented in Table2.}

Water Environment
The water environment is generally good but is being polluted by the large-scale horticultuml
application of pesticides and Fertilizers. This is a major contamination source for the Ground water in
There are no major rivers in the impact zone. There are only two minor river Dharma and
Varada in the influence zone. There are many ponds, lakes (lentic water bodies) across the
project road. To facilitate the cross-drainage cross-drainage structures have been proposed
including improvements in the existing structures not to affect the existing drainage system in
the project implementation area. The surface water flow in the project area is predominantly
from the west to east.
The local community is using these sources of water for their daily needs. Some of these will
be impacted during construction phase of project road. The general grolind water contours
varies from 400 to 600 Mt above Mean Sea Level. The project area has low ground water
table due to scanty rainfall and over extraction of ground water for irrigation utilities. Local
community is dependent on the hand pumps, tube wells and wells and those that are impacted
needs relocation before the construction starts. Number of water supply units likely affected
along the road link is given in Table 2.4.

Water Environment
There is a major river namely, Varadha (ch. 12.000 km), in the impact zone. Also, there are a
number of ponds, lakes, canals and other streams across the project road. To facilitate the
cross-drainage the cross-drainage structures have been proposed including improvements in
the existing structures not to affect the existing drainage system in the project implementation
The local community is using water from Varada river and ponds for their daily needs. Some of these
(pond at ch. 22.180) will be slightly impacted due to curve smoothening realignment of road. The
general ground water contours varies from 500 to 800 Mt above Mean Sea Level. Local communities
are dependant on the hand pumps, tube wells and wells, which will be impacted due to widening and
needs to be relocated before the project starts. Number of water supply units likely affected in each

management plan as per the guidelines provided in Appendix -15.
2.4
Land Environment
Most of the available stone material along the project area is granites, gneiss and granitic schist. The
metals required for the road construction is available very close to road enroute. Use of explosive is
absolutely necessary to break open the aggregates in the stone quarry. In order to use these materials,
contractor will have to establish a number of crushers along the project route from which impact will
be very large and permanent in nature.
Suspended particulate matter surrounding region will leads to degeneration of plant species and retards
the growth of plant species as it reduces the transpiration process and also there will be considerable
impact over the occupational workers in the quarries. During monsoon there will be collection of
water in deep ditches this serves as breeding sites for mosquitoes.

major urban settlements locations like Chinthamani. The area will be impacted by air pollution both
during construction and operation stages. Construction stage impacts will be of short term and have
adverse impacts on the construction workers as well as on the settlements adjacent to the alignment,
especially those in the downwind direction. Operation stage impacts will not be as severe as the
construction stage impacts and these will be confined generally to a ribbon development close to edge
of the pavement. However, there will be continued enhancement of air pollution due to increase in
number of vehicles in the road. It is difficult to predict the pollution level from vehicle since it is not
known how the adoption of new technology vehicles would proceed. It is however, possible to assess
the future pollution load on the assumption that the old technology vehicle would persist. The unit load
of pollutants from different type of vehicles have been estimated under the same assumption by the

Water Environmei1t
There are no major rivers in the Impact zone. However, there are a number of ponds, lakes, canals and
other streams across the project road. To facilitate the cross-drainage at these water crossings crossdrainage structures have been proposed including improvements in the existing structures not to affect
the existing drainage system in the project implementation area. The surface water flow in the project
area is predominantly from the west to east.
The local community is using some ponds and under ground water for their daily needs. Some of these
which are within RoW will be impacted during the construction of road. The general ground water
contours varies from 500 to 800 Mt above Mean Sea Level. 67 A has low ground water table due to
over extraction of ground water for irrigation utilities. Local communities depend on the hand pumps,
