public. However in certain sections of project road passing through the hilly terrain, cutting of hills is required to an extent to improve the geometry of the road. This material has been explored for construction of embankment and subgrade.
Borrow Pits for Construction of Embankment and Sub-grade
The sources identified as potential borrow sources are shown in Table 6-1 and include certain useful information such as, distance from the project road, location, village name etc. Borrowing soil from these areas would require prior approval of the local authorities, negotiations with private people. Soil samples from these borrow sources were collected in bulk quantities by excavating test pits down up to 1.0 m depth from the existing ground surface. The Top organic soil layer of approximately 100 mm thickness was removed before sampling.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Use of Flyash
Flyash source is present within 100km of the project corridor (as cited in Chapter 1). But using the flyash for road construction is not economically viable for the following reasons:
a. The flyash source is 16.275 km away from the end of the project i.e. km 122.275. The lead of Flyash works out to be is 77.6375 km. whereas the lead for soil is only 9 km.
b. The rate worked out as per MoRTH Data book for filling with flyash is Rs. 362/-.
c. The rate as per MoRTH Data book for filling with borrow area soil is worked out to be Rs. 155/-
As the rate of filling with flyash is 2.34 times more then filling with soil, flyash is not considered. (In accordance with MOEF Notification dated 3rd April, 2007).
The detailed calculation is provided in Annexure 6.1.
6.2.2 Mitigation Measures
Land: No major change in the topography is envisaged along the project corridor. However, requirement of materials shall necessitate creation of new borrow and quarry pits. Rehabilitation of such sites after use, by smoothening the steep slopes and covering them with vegetation or converting them into water body shall form a part of this project. Similarly, fresh embankments created at the site shall be covered with dredged earth for turfing of the slopes, in order to prevent erosion of the murram casing, for minimizing the runoff and stabilizing the embankment.
Soil:
A) Conservation of Topsoil
The topsoil shall be stripped upto a depth of 15 cm at all locations opened up for construction. The stripped topsoil should be carefully stockpiled at suitable accessible locations approved by the PIU. At least 10% of the temporarily acquired area shall be earmarked for storing topsoil.
The stockpiles for storing the topsoil shall be designed such that the slope does not exceed 1:2 (vertical to horizontal), and the height of the pile is restricted to 2m. A minimum distance of 1m is required between stockpiles of different materials.
Locate stockpiles in …
A secure area away from Grade, Subsoil & Overburden materials; Pit activities; and Day-to-day operations. Areas that do not interfere with future pit
expansion Areas away from drainage paths and
uphill of sediment barriers.
Vegetative material for stockpile stabilisation…
Must consist of grasses, legumes, herbaceous, or woody plants or a mixture thereof

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
In cases where the topsoil has to be preserved for more than a month, the stockpile is to be stabilized within 7 days of forming. The stabilization shall be carried out through temporary seeding. It consists of planting rapid-growing annual grasses or small grains, to provide initial, temporary cover for erosion control.
After spreading the topsoil on disturbed areas, topsoil must be seeded, and mulched within 30 days of final grading.
During construction, if erosion occurs from stockpiles due to their location in small drainage paths, the sediment-laden runoff should be prevented from entering nearby watercourses.
Preservation of Stockpiles:
The contractor shall preserve the stockpile material for later use on slopes or shoulders as instructed by the engineer.
Spreading back of topsoil:
The area to be covered with vegetation shall be prepared to the required levels and slope. The stockpile material shall be spread evenly to a depth of 5-15cm to the designed slopes and watering the same as required. The growth of the vegetation shall be monitored at frequent intervals.
All temporary arrangements made for stockpile preservation and erosion control are to be removed after reusing the stockpile material.
B. Erosion Control Protection
Stabilization of High Embankment Slopes: Slope of the road embankment shall be fixed within the range of 1:2 to 1:3, which will reduce the possibilities of slope failure. Further to stabilize the slope, vegetative cover as per Box 6.1 shall be done.
Box-6.1: Detailed specifications for Vegetative cover Description: The vegetative cover should be planted in the region where the soil has capacity to support the
plantation and at locations where meteorological conditions favours vegetative growth. Site Preparation: To prevent the seeds from washing away subsequent to sowing, area should be protected with
surface roughening and diversions. Soil samples should be taken from the site and analysed for fertiliser and lime requirements.
Selection & use of vegetative cover to take into account soil and site characteristics such as drainage, pH, nutrient availability, and climate to ensure permanent growth
Preserving stockpiles – Precautions
Stockpiles will not be surcharged or otherwise loaded and multiple handing will be kept to a minimum to ensure that no compaction will occur.
Divert runoff around stockpiles unavoidably located in drainage paths using a perimeter bank uphill.
The stockpiles shall be covered with gunny bags or tarpaulin immediately in case they are not stored for periods longer than 1 month

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Seed Application: The seed should be sown uniformly as soon as preparation of the seedbed has been completed. No seed should be sown during windy weather, or when the ground surface is wet, or when not
tillable. Maintenance: During first six weeks, the planting should inspected by the PIU, to check if the growth is uniform
and dense. Appropriate moisture levels shall be maintained. There may be requirement of watering the plantings regularly during the dry seasons. Fertiliser and pest control applications may also be needed from time to time.
In case slope is steeper than 1:2, stone pitching (Figure 6-1: ) will be done. Stones will be fixed on slopes by gentle hammering. A P.C.C. anchor will be provided at the base, which will prevent sliding of stones on slope. The gaps between adjacent stones allow grass to grow which will hold the soil firmly together.
To check the slope stabilisation of borrow pits adjacent to the embankment, the depth of the pit will be so regulated that the bottom edge of pit shall not intersect the imaginary line of slope 1:4 drawn from the top edge of the nearest embankment. To avoid embankment slippage and erosion, borrow pits shall not be dug continuously.
C) Measures to minimize Soil Contamination
Reduction and management of spoil: Construction activities will generate spoils. The solid waste generated will be used in road construction to the extent possible. The top soil will be used in median for turfing and also in embankments for slope stabilization. Also extra waste will be used to level the site of construction camp in the hilly section.
Cut and fill works will be carried out strictly in accordance with the design drawings. The road widening will involve about 472249 cum of cutting and 4774392 cum of filling.
Contamination of soil from fuel and lubricants: For this purpose, oil interceptors are proposed to be used in the plant areas during construction phase (provisions for 4 oil interceptors have been kept in budget for areas of batching plant & hot mix plant)

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
With an increase in the traffic volume, the contamination of the soil adjacent to the highway is likely, even though the effect will be very localized.
Construction Stage: At various construction sites, the vehicles and equipment will be maintained and refueled in such a fashion that oil/diesel spillage does not contaminate the soil. It will be ensured that the fuel storage and refueling sites are kept at least 300m away from drainage channels and important water bodies. In all fuel storage and refueling areas located on agricultural lands or productive lands, the topsoil preservation shall be carried out. At the wash down and refueling areas, “oil interceptors” as shown in Figure 6-2: ,shall be provided. The oil interceptor works on the principle: the grease and oil being lighter in weight float on the top surface of the wastewater. Hence, oil and grease can be scum and be disposed in environmentally sound fashion.
Oil interceptors are to be located in plant areas (hot mix plants, batching plants) close to water bodies, river crossings. Exact location is to be decided by the concessionaire at time of construction. Provision for 4 oil interceptors have been kept in the budget.
6.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
6.3.1 Anticipated Impacts
Impacts envisaged on water resources due to proposed improvements are:
Loss of existing water sources Loss of water storage capacity Increased pressure over available resources Deterioration of water quality and Drainage impact
Loss of water sources: Widening of the road width will result in partial and full filling of roadside water ditches. No ponds will be affected due to widening of the project road. Most of the ditches that are likely to be impacted are non-perennial. These ditches along the project road are borrow areas from which soil had been taken while constructing the existing road. They need to be filled. The ditches are used for domestic purposes like washing, cleaning etc.
There are also loss of other water extraction sources like hand pumps and bore wells due to widening of road. 161 Hand pump/tube wells and 18 wells are affected.
Increased pressure on available resources: Water is required for construction and also for domestic use in construction camps. Usage of water for these purposes might lead to increased pressure on available water resources in the project area.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Deterioration of water quality: Pollution of water results from the following highway related sources. However, the impacts are dependent on the scale of pollution and the nature of receptors. The likely pollutants, sources and receptors are presented in Table 6-4.

Surface water bodies
3. Heavy metals Vehicle exhaust Surface & Ground water 4. Debris Litter Surface water bodies 5. Fertilizers, Pesticides, and
Herbicides Fertilizers applied for establishment of turf on embankments
Surface water bodies
Drainage Impacts: As per the bridge condition survey there are 225 cross drainage structures in the project corridor. Out of these, 10 Major Bridges (Total length > 60.0 m), 81 are Minor Bridges (6.0 m < Total Length < 60.0m) and the remaining 134 structures are culverts. Improvement measures include rehabilitation of existing structures as well as construction of new structure to house the proposed additional lanes. 3 new minor bridges are proposed.
During the construction of new structures, there are chances of the waterways getting blocked due to the haphazard dumping of the construction materials and wastes.
6.3.2 Mitigation Measures
Surface Water Body: While working around or near the water body, following measures shall be undertaken:
Silt fencing and/or brush barrier shall be installed near all the water bodies (at 5 river crossing locations -Uben, Loi, Ozat, Megal & Devka) for collecting the sediments before letting them into the water body.
Silt/sediment should be collected and stockpiled for possible reuse as surfacing of slopes where they have to be revegetated.
Alternate drain inlets and outlets shall be provided in the event of closure of existing drainage channels of the water body.
Movement of machinery, workforce shall be restricted around the water body and no waste from construction camps or sites shall be disposed into it.
Water Required during Construction:
The project area, the Rajkot & Junagadh districts fall in the grey zone and not critical zone in terms of ground water development. The problem is mainly related to salinity and fluoride content in the ground water, rendering it non potable. The ground water scenario in the two project districts is disussed below.
In Junagadh district, the average annual rainfall in the last decade is 744mm. The depth of open wells is 15 to 35 mts bgl. The district faces problem of deterioration in ground water (fluoride

content high) and the water is saline/brackish. Due to non potable ground water, most of the villages get drinking water from various regional water supply schemes through reservoirs.
In Rajkot district, the annual average rainfall of last decade is 523mm. Static water level of the area varies from 30-50 mts. In area south of Rajkot, Jetpur taluka, 300-400 mts deep bores yield adequate potable water. Drinking water is supplied in most areas from regional water supply schemes.
Thus drinking water in the project area is supplied from reservoirs as the ground water is not potable. Extraction of ground water for construction will not cause shortage of drinking water in the project area. However, water from construction will be obtained from various sources- Borewells along project road, rivers in the vicinity, also from licensed authorities who have borewells dug in zones that have sufficient ground water, so that there will not be pressure on any one source.
Seven rivers have been identified as likely water sources for construction. The suitability of these identified water sources and availability of water during extraction is to be checked before incorporation of construction works as per IS 456-2000.
It will be ensured that minimum impact is inflicted on the inhabitants of the area due to usage of water during construction.
Run off Control / Drainage: To ensure efficient drainage system and to prevent water logging along the sides, adequate size and number of cross-drainage structures have been provided. All cross-drainage structures have been designed to handle a 50-year peak flood level as per IRC: 5 – 1998 (Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for Road Bridges Section I), IRC: SP-13 – 1973 (Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts), IRC: 78-2000, (Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for Road Bridges Section VII).
At the location high embankment or bridge approaches, Chute Drains shall be provided to drain the surface runoff and prevent erosion from the slopes. (Refer IRC SP: 50 – 1999, Guidelines on Urban Drainage; IRC SP: 42 – 1994, Guidelines on Road Drainage for detailed drainage design)
During the progress of work, the contractor will remove obstructions that may cause any temporary flooding of local drainage channels during construction. No spoil or construction material will be stored outside the proposed RoW or at places obstructing the natural drainage system.
In project corridor along watercourses, and locations close to cross-drainage channels, the contractor will ensure that earth; stone or any other construction material shall be disposed off immediately at the designated landfill site so as to avoid blocking the flow of water along those channels. Silt fencing shall be provided at construction sites in proximity to water bodies. Warning posts for notice of public against entry into the stream channels while construction shall be erected. Silt fencing is proposed at crossing of the rivers: Uben, Loi, Ozat, Megal, Devka.

During the operation phase, Inspection (as per IRC SP: 18-1978, Manual for Highway Bridge Maintenance Inspection) and cleaning of drains / culverts shall be done they gets choked with silt/debris and growth of vegetative cover over the accumulated debris.
Box – 6-2: Detailed Specifications For Silt Fencing
Description: Silt fencing is as temporary sediment barrier made of woven, synthetic filtration fabric supported
by steel or wood post. The purpose of the silt fence is to prevent sediment carried by sheet flow from leaving the site and entering to natural drainage or any other water body located near the construction site. Silt fencing encourages the sheet flow and reduces the potential for development of rills and gullies. Care should be taken that silt fences are not installed across streams, ditches, waterways or other concentrated flow areas. All silt fencing should be installed along the contour, never up or down a slope. Where all the sheet flow run off is to be stored behind the silt fence, maximum slope length should not exceed as shown in the table 2
Criteria For Silt Fence Placement Land Slope (%) Maximum Slope Length (Above the fence in m)
< 2 30.0
2 to 5 22.5
5 to 10 15.0
10 to 20 7.5
> 20* 4.5
* In areas where slope is greater than 20 %, a flat area length of 3.0 m between the toe of the slope and the fence should be provided
Construction Specification: Silt fencing (Refer Figure 6-3 for Cross-section) consists of 1.0 m wide filter fabric and should be
placed on the contour. Incase runoff flow or velocities are very high or where slope exceed vertical height of 3.0 m, silt fencing should be wire reinforced as shown in the Figure 6-4. The contractor should purchase silt fencing in a continuous role to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joint. Incase of joints, filter cloth should be spliced together only at supporting post, with minimum 15 cm overlap and securely sealed. The pile is drive to the depth of 300 mm into the ground by pressing from the top. The frame will be installed at the edge of stockpiles and at the water bodies along which construction is in progress.
Inspection: The PIU will inspect location as well as efficiency of silt fencing. The inspection should be done
after every 15 days and incase of storm water, within 24 hours after the end of rain. Maintenance: The contractor should remove sediments, once it has accumulated to one-half the original height
of the fence. Filter fabric should be replaced whenever it has deteriorated to such an extent that the effective of the fabric is reduced. Silt fence should remain in place until disturb areas have been permanently stabilized. All the sediments accumulated and properly disposed of before the fence is removed. The operation of removing and disposing have to be monitored by the PIU or Engineer In-charge.

Prevention of Water Quality Degradation: Following are the measures that need to be undertaken to prevent contamination of water body during the progress of work and also during the operation phase of the project corridor:
To prevent the entry of the surface run-off from fuel and other contaminants into the wells and other surface water bodies along the corridor, settling ponds and oil interceptors shall be constructed. Oil interceptors are to be located in plant areas (hot mix plants, batching plants). Exact location is to be decided by the concessionaire at time of construction.
All the diversion and bunds shall be removed such that there should be minimum amount of sediment generation.
All wastes arising from the project shall be disposed off at identified disposal sites in environmentally sound manner.
No vehicles or equipment shall be parked or refueled near the water-body, so as to avoid contamination from fuel and lubricants.
At the construction camps, the sewage system shall be properly designed and built so that no water pollution takes place close to any water body or watercourse.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Rain water Harvesting:
In an effort to augment fresh ground water storage and improving its quality, surplus runoff generated during monsoon, which is otherwise lost to flow, must be harvested and recharged under ground. The runoff generated from the highway right of way and adjoining area generally go waste through the drains on both sides. The part of the wasted fresh water can be saved for recharging the ground water by provision of water harvesting structures at suitable locations so that the decline of ground water table may be arrested and maintained at comfortable limit.
Rain water harvesting structures are proposed on the drain on both sides during construction at a distance of 500 metres alternatively so that one rain water harvesting structure exists @ 250 metres either side. Recharge dug well one-meter diameter of total depth 5.5 meter for water harvesting has been provided along with silting chamber at one side and outlet on other side. The wall is made of brickworks and inside is filled with filter media having particle size 75-100 mm. Two varieties of Sump type harvesting structures have also been suggested. The construction of the structure will be done after studying the conditions of the drain in different terrain of the highway. The drawing is presented in Annexure 6.2
6.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT
6.4.1 Anticipated Impact
Air Quality
Potential impacts on the air quality during the construction stage will be due to the fugitive dust and the exhaust gases generated in and around the construction equipments and ground related activities such as crushing sites, hot-mix and asphalt plants, etc. The ambient Air quality is likely to be impacted due to activities such as site clearance, stone crushing, dumping of fill materials, earthwork etc which will create dust in the construction area and its vicinity. This will affect the health of the construction workers and dwellers in the vicinity of the construction activities. The impacts anticipated on the air quality during the construction stage, though significant, will be short-term impacts.
There are no forests, Sanctuaries in the vicinity of the project road. Thus there will not be any impact of construction activity on forest & wild life. Dust/SPM & RPM will be the main air pollutant on these receptors during construction phase. Plant sites will be located away from residential areas, thus impact of pollutant emission on receptors (schools, hospitals) and residential areas is not envisaged.
Operation Stage: The improved road quality will lead to induced traffic on the corridor. This additional increase in the number of vehicles will result in a slow but steady increase in the air pollution levels and pollutant concentrations.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Prediction of Air Impacts
To assess the likely concentrations at the various locations along the corridor, the prediction of the pollutant concentrations has been carried out using CALINE-4, a dispersion model based on Gaussian Equation. The input parameters for the prediction are detailed in Box 6-1.
BOX 6-1: DESCRIPTION OF CALINE - 4 CALINE– 4, is a dispersion model based on Gaussian equation. It is developed by the California Department of Transportation for the prediction of concentrations of critical atmospheric pollutants (CO, NOx and SPM) along the highways. This model employs a mixing zone concept to characterise pollutant dispersion over the highway and can be used to predict the pollutant concentrations for receptors upto 500 m of the corridor. The various input parameters for the prediction of pollutant concentrations are discussed in the following sections: (a) Site Geometry: The input parameters regarding the site conditions as the carriageway width, road height, mixing zone width, surface roughness and topographic conditions have been taken up from the pavement condition and road inventory surveys conducted along the project corridor. (b) Emission factors: The emission factors for the various vehicle categories vary for different speeds. The emission factors adopted for the various vehicle speeds for the various pollutants are given in the following Table 6-5. Based on the traffic composition, a composite emission factor has been derived for application in the model for the various sensitive receptors and links. The composite emission factor has been derived as a sum of the ratio of light, medium and heavy vehicles to the total volume and their corresponding emission factors. (c) Meteorological Conditions: The various meteorological input parameters required for modeling as the wind speed, wind direction, mixing height, stability class have been collected from secondary sources as IMD, for the nearest meteorological station, viz, Agartala (d) Traffic volume: The through traffic volume and composition along the sensitive receptors have been derived from the traffic volume counts carried out at various locations along the project corridor. (e) Links: Links are homogenous sections of the project corridor, of length not greater than 10 km, with similar traffic, site geometrics and meteorological characteristics. For calculating the emissions, worst-case scenario is assumed and concentrations are obtained for worst wind direction. (f) Receptors: Receptors are specific locations within a link, which is likely to be impacted by vehicular emissions. For the purposes of assessing air impacts, sensitive receptors have been identified over an immediate influence area on either side of the project corridor. The concentrations of the various pollutants due to the project have been estimated applying the various input parameters to the CALINE 4 model.

Predicted Pollution levels
Various assumptions made for predicting the pollution levels along the corridor through this model are discussed below:
No significant change in emission characteristics of the vehicles is anticipated during the projected period and any assumption in decrease of emission factors would only be hypothetical. This assumption would give a conservative estimate of the emissions and any decrease in emissions in future than those used for prediction will be beneficial.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The traffic along the proposed section is assumed to flow simultaneously in both the lanes and in both directions. This assumption presents a worst-case scenario of the pollution levels.
The incremental pollution levels predicted along the project corridor at various receptors are presented in the Table 6-6 to Table 6-8 for the years 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030 and 2035. The predictions have been made for the pollutants SPM, CO and NOx. The predicted concentration also takes into account the existing pollutant levels as established by the Ambient Air Quality Surveys.

Observations
As evident from the above Tables, with the increase in traffic volume, the concentration of air pollutants also increases correspondingly.
For Suspended Particulate Matter and Oxides of Nitrogen, the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (as specified for rural and residential areas) exceeds at some of the receptors along the project road but only during 2035. It is observed that among the 8 receptors selected for simulation of pollution levels, the limits are exceeded at 1 receptor for NOx and at 1 receptor for SPM during 2035. The maximum predicted values for SPM, CO and NOx observed in 2035 are 219 g/m3, 1737 g/m3 and 95 g/m3 respectively as against stipulated standards of 200 g/m3,2000 g/m3 and 80 g/m3 respectively for residential and rural areas.
6.4.2 Mitigation Measures
Construction Stage - Air Pollution Control Measures
During the progress of work, construction equipments and plants always have an impact on the environment. The impact can be due to the emissions, dust, noise and oil spills that concern the safety and health of the workers, surrounding settlements and environment as a whole. Following measures need to be undertaken to address the air pollution during the progress of work:
Selecting the site for plant area and parking lot for equipments and vehicles as per Box 6-3. Box 6-3: Siting of Plant Area / Parking Lot
Avoid the following … Prefer the following …
Lands within 500m of habitations Irrigated agricultural lands Lands within 100m of community water bodies
and water sources as rivers Lands within 100m of watercourses Grazing lands and lands with tenure rights
Waste lands Community lands not used for beneficial purposes Lands with an existing access road
Acquiring “No Objection Certificate (NoC)” from the Gujarat State Pollution Control Board before setting up crusher, hot-mix plant and generator.

Operation Stage
During the operation stage, to control emission due to vehicle movement, following measures need to be undertaken:
By enhancing tree plantation along the project corridor. Vehicles traveling on the highway should conform to vehicular emission norms. Vehicular emissions of critical pollutants (SPM, RSPM, CO, SO2, NOx) will be monitored with
regular maintenance of roadside tree plantation. A monitoring of the effectiveness of the pollution attenuating barriers will be taken up after 5 years
from the planting of roadside trees. Based on the results, recommendation for any changes in the mitigation measures or suggestion of additional measures shall be made.
The mitigation/management measures proposed as a part of the project are likely to improve the air quality scenario along the corridor during the operation stage. Tree plantation as per the proposed road landscape strategy will help to attenuate the air pollution levels. The tree species suggested include broad-leaf tree species, which can help settle particulates with their higher surface areas and thick foliage and reduce the distance for which particulates are carried from the road itself. This measure is of specific importance in context of the high SPM concentrations as predicted in some of the receptor locations.
Other measures such as the reduction of vehicular emissions, ensuring vehicular maintenance and up-keep, educating drivers about driving behavior / methods that will reduce emissions are beyond the scope of the project but will be far more effective in reducing the pollutant levels.

Apart from provision of the mitigation measures, their effectiveness and further improvement in designs to reduce the pollutant levels with increase in traffic shall be monitored. A monitoring plan to this effect will be prepared as a part of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
6.5 NOISE LEVELS
6.5.1 Anticipated Impacts
Construction Stage: Due to various construction activities, there will be temporary noise impacts in the immediate vicinity of the project corridor. The construction activities will include the excavation for foundations and grading of the site and the construction of structures and facilities. However construction noise is generally intermittent and depends on the type of operation, location and function of the equipment.
Operation Stage: During the operation stage the noise generated by vehicles will have adverse impact on residents of settlements located close to the corridor. Apart from the dwelling areas, the sensitive receptors consisting of occupants at educational institutions and hospitals will also be impacted.
Predicted Noise Levels
For the prediction of noise levels, FHWA Noise Model has been used. It is assumed that all the traffic is in well-defined lanes and flow of traffic in both the directions is the same. Details of Receptors selected for Prediction of Noise Levels is presented in Table 6-10. Different categories of receptors were selected such as residential areas, commercial areas and sensitive locations (Schools, Hospitals etc.) to represent the prevailing land use along the project corridor.
Box 6-1: FHWA Noise Model
The procedure for prediction of noise levels involves the following steps: 1) Identification of sensitive receptors 2) Determination of landuses and activities which may be affected by the noise generated 3) Assemble input parameters 4) Application of the model a) Sensitive receptors: The locations along the corridor that are sensitive to the anticipated noise impacts are identified as sensitive receptors. These consist of schools, colleges, etc. b) Land uses: Land use along the corridor is obtained from the topographic drawings, strip maps and consequent site visits. This information provides the range of shielding and absorption factors to be applied at the various receptor locations. c) Input Parameters: Traffic volume & Speed: Traffic volume for the projected period is obtained from the traffic projections. The total number of vehicles passing per hour by type - light, medium and heavy along with their average speed is used for projections. Mean Energy level: All the vehicles produce noise, which is taken as the base, and the cumulative noise at the receptor distance due to the whole traffic is estimated. The mean energy level varies depending on the type of vehicle. A mean energy level for the light, medium vehicles is 70 dB and for heavy vehicles it is 80 dB. Shielding & Absorption factors: This depends on the landuse prevailing along the corridor. The range of shielding provided for the noise and absorption of the noise is 3.5 to 4 and 0.3 to 0.5 respectively. d) Application of Model: Equivalent noise levels due to traffic, at the receptor locations is estimated using

Box 6-1: FHWA Noise Model Federal Highway Noise model, Leq(h)i = Loe + 10Log (Ni/SiT) + 10Log (15/d)1+b + Ds – 13 Where, Leq(h)i = Equivalent noise level of ith vehicle ( h indicates vehicle type- light, medium, heavy). Loe = Reference mean energy level. Ni = Number of class i vehicles passing during time T. Si = Average speed for i th vehicle class in km/hr. T = Duration for which Leq is desired corresponding to Ni. d = Perpendicular distance in meters from the center line of the traffic lane to the receptor location. b = Factor related to the absorption characteristics of the ground cover between the roadways and observer. Ds = Shielding factor to account for the decrease in noise due to obstructions between source and receptor. The preceding equation is used thrice, for light, medium and heavy vehicles respectively to obtain three values of Leq. The total Leq can be calculated by logarithmic addition of the three Leq values as follows, Leq(Total) = 10 Leq ( 10 Leq(L)/10 + 10 Leq(M)/10 + 10 Leq(H)/10 ) The total equivalent noise levels at the receptor, at a distance ‘d’ m from the center of the traffic lane is given by the above equation.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Noise levels (Leq) near the sensitive receptors like schools, colleges, etc. and in residential areas, are found to be marginally higher than desired levels for the respective categories. The maximum predicted value 79 dB(A) is recorded at receptors Shahjanand School, hospital and St. Peter School (Km 45+300, Km 58+500 and Km 65+750 respectively). The projected levels show further increase in noise levels for future years at all receptors. Noise levels are higher in the urban areas and at distances near the corridor.
6.5.2 Mitigation Measures
Construction Stage
The plants and equipment used for construction shall strictly conform to existing noise norms. Vehicles and equipments used shall be fitted with exhaust silencers. During routine servicing operations (as per manufacture schedule), the effectiveness of exhaust silencers shall be checked and incase of any defective shall be replaced. The noise level from any item of plants (measured at one meter from the edge of the equipment in free field) such as compactors, rollers, front loaders, concrete mixers, cranes, vibrators and saws shall not exceed 75 dB (A), as specified in the Environmental Protection Rules, 1986.
In construction sites within 150m of the nearest habitation, noisy construction work such as crushing, concrete mixing, batching will be stopped during the night time between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. No noisy construction activities will be permitted around the silence zones, a distance of 100m from the sensitive receptors as hospitals, educational institutions etc. Blasting will be carried out as per The Explosives Rules, 1983. Prior intimation of operational hours of the blasting will be given to the people living near such blasting sites. Blasting will not be undertaken in night hours.
To protect construction workers from severe noise impacts, noise standards of industrial enterprises will be strictly enforced, and workers shall be provided with protective devices such as earplugs.
Operation Stage
For the very congested urban stretches along the project corridor, bypasses have been proposed to mitigate the noise pollution (of increased vehicles along the corridor) as well as avoid displacement of people and demolition of structures. There are three proposed bypasses along the corridor- Jetpur, Junagadh & Keshod.
Noise Barriers: Noise barriers have been proposed at specific receptor locations along the corridor based on the receptor, number of users, availability of space for the barrier and predicted noise levels. The following have been considered for noise attenuation.
Physical barriers in the form of walls Rearrangement of the sensitive locations, through changes in the internal planning where
possible

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Vegetative barriers in the form of thick screen of vegetation
An evaluation of the various types of noise barriers have been made and based on their suitability and extent of noise attenuation, feasible noise barriers have been proposed for the project.
Physical Barriers: attenuate noise level up to a maximum of 20 dB(A). As they do not require any large space, they can be easily constructed. However, there are a few drawbacks.
High cost involved in the construction of the barriers Such barriers cause severence on either side of the highway Such barrier facilitates opportunistic encroachment for urban squatters.
Vegetative Barriers: attenuate noise level up to a maximum of 10dB(A). These barriers require a considerable area and for attenuation of 10 dB(A) they require a depth of 40m.
Other measures for noise level reduction like structural modifications or change in the internal layout of these locations calls for consultation with the community.
During the operation stage, to minimize the impacts due to the noise generated by the vehicles, for institutional areas and hospitals located along the road side, institutional plantations have been recommended. Also since the volume of projected traffic being not that significant, structural barriers have not been recommended. The details of locations where vegetative noise barriers have been proposed are presented in Table 6-11.

Three rows of plantation have been proposed in front of these receptors behind the compound wall. The trees will be planted at an interval of 5m and should be species which are tall and have thick foliage. The length of plantation along the road will vary according to the length of the compound wall. The cost of institutional plantation has been considered in the budget.

6.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
6.6.1 Anticipated Impact
Forest: As there is no forest in the project corridor, impacts like fragmentation of forest & impact on wild life is not envisaged.
6.6.2 Roadside Trees
Roadside trees in certain stretches of the project road have been notified as Protected forest (as per the Notified Gazette AKH-73-242/VNM-1073/78855-P). Total number of roadside trees (Notified Protected Forest and Non-Forest Area) is 18056. These trees are mainly present within the existing Right of Way. Of these, 8544 trees is Notified Protected forest (covering length of 67.3km)-7744 trees in Junagadh district & 800 trees in Rajkot district. Remaining 9512 trees are non forest trees. Effort has been made while designing the road so that tree cutting can be minimized.
Predominant roadside tree species include Babool, Neem, Peepal and Banyan.
For roadside trees that are demarcated as Notified Protected forests, an application has been submitted to the State Forest Department for tree cutting (as per Forest Conservation Act 1980). A joint verification of trees has been carried out (in both the districts- Junagadh & Rajkot) in presence of concerned Forest officials before tree cutting.
6.6.3 Fauna
Only commonly found fauna are present in the area. The project road does not contain any endangered or threatened species close to the project highway and does not pass through any sensitive wildlife / protected areas. No animal crossings have been reported or observed along the stretch. Thus, there will not be any major impact on the fauna of the area. However, part of the project road falls within 10 km radius of the Girnar Sanctuary. No impacted anticipated on the sanctuary because Junagadh town exists on west side of the sanctuary after the buffer zone and project road is further on west after Junagadh town. Hence, no impact anticipated on the sanctuary due to the propose project.
6.6.4 Marine Ecology Project road is about 300 mts from the coastal area. Project activity shall be limited within the RoW and nearest limit of the RoW from Arabian Sea is about 300 m away. Therefore, water pollution in the Arabian Sea due to project activity is a remote possibility. No borrow area, no sand quarry, no aggregate quarry and no construction camp is located within the CRZ area Transportation of the construction material is likely to be carried out through road only. Therefore, there is no chance of spillage or accidental spillage of construction material in the Arabian Sea. Construction activity will generate dust and noise temporarily.

6.6.5 Mitigation Measures
Roadside trees: Number of trees to be cut in the Notified Protected forest (area in Junagadh forest division:116.761ha, in Rajkot forest division: 13.26 ha) is 8544 (7744 nos in Junagadh division, 800 nos in Rajkot division).
A number of trees along the existing road have been saved due to design considerations, by eccentric widening options, proposed realignments & bypasses. In eccentric widening stretches, trees on the side opposite to the widening side will be retained as the distance of the trees from the proposed carriageway edge is adequate. Also, by proposing realignments & bypasses, a major no of trees along the existing alignment could be saved. The number of trees saved has been tabulated below.

Trees to be cut will be compensated by planting at least double the number of trees. Plantation will be carried out along the proposed road or any land bank (compensatory plantation)(as per Forest Conservation Act). Apart from trees earmarked for felling, no additional tree clearing will be carried out.
After widening of the road, plantation will be carried out in the space available along the carriageway edge within the proposed ROW. The cost for the plantation program is to be borne by the project proponent.
For roadside trees (non forest), permission for cutting is to be sought from the Revenue department.
Marine Ecology: Silt fencing may be provided to arrest sediments which are likely to be carried out to sea during the run off in monsoon season, if any. It will be finally decided during the construction period depending upon the site condition (apart from the 5 river crossings mentioned earlier, provision has been made for 2 such locations in the budget).
Water sprinkling shall be carried out as per site requirement to reduce the generation of dust. All the machineries shall maintained in good condition so that the generation of noise is minimum.
Lined drain shall be directed into municipal drainage system so that drain water does not get mixed with the sea.

6.6.6 Highway Landscaping
After widening, trees are to be planted on either side of the road where space is available. Of the trees to be cut, at least two times the number is to be planted as compensatory plantation. Common plants generally recommended for stretches passing through rural areas are Amla (Emblica officinalis) alternating with shaded trees like, Ailanthus excelsa. Medium trees like Sapindus emarginta, Derris indica, are ideal for screening.
Near market places and congested areas, trees known for behaving as ‘pollution sink’ are proposed. Thus, trees which absorb pollutants, filter the air from pollutants, and act as noise barrier would be planted. Near sensitive areas like schools and hospitals, tall trees with thick canopies can create a wind screen through which the air can be filtered and the noise levels be considerably reduced. In addition tall shrubs would be planted to act as screens against noise and air pollution. Species recommended include Adhatoda vasica, Hibiscus hirtus, Withaniasomnifera.
Plantation in Medians
Careful consideration should be given to the cross section to ensure driver recovery, mowing access, and drainage. Vegetated medians offer excellent contrast to the travel lanes, making their edges more clearly evident. Additionally, turf areas offer visual relief and glare reduction in large expanses of pavement in multilane highways.
Turfing and median plantation has been proposed along the entire stretch.The shrubs planted in the median (Table 6-13) should be of low or medium height for prevention of the headlight glare. One to two rows of flowering shrubs have been provided according to the varying width of the median in different sections. In sections where the median width is less than 1.5m, only grass turfing is proposed (urban stretches). Medians with turf also hide small litter objects better than bare pavement, helping to keep the roadway neater in appearance.
At locations where a drain runs through the median, woody plants are recommended so that drainage in the median will not be obstructed. Where space and drainage patterns allow, berms may reduce or prevent median crossings and reduce headlight glare. The species to be selected are mentioned below.

6.7 SOCIAL & CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
6.7.1 Anticipated Impacts
The social environment consists of land, buildings, and other community owned assets including utilities. The proposed widening along the existing corridor will include one or more of the following impacts:
Removal of encroachments and squatters and Acquisition of land and structures – residential, commercial, institutional, agricultural, etc.
This would affect livelihood and community access to the roadside communities. However, the options for the proposed widening will be finalized with a thrust to minimize the impact on structures and other properties.
The likely social impacts have been analyzed based on the number of assets impacted and area to be acquired under various land uses. This has been discussed in the RAP Report.
Impact on Educational Institutes and Hospitals (Community Resources)
The schools are partially impacted along the project road. Only one hospital is being impacted along the project road.
Most of the schools donot have boundary wall. Usually the playground is next to the carriageway and the school building lies behind the playground. Thus the playground is partially affected in most of the schools.
The location of schools and their extent of impact is given below.

8. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The Environment Management measures shall be implemented during the various stages of the project – Pre-construction stage, Construction Stage and Operation Stage. The EMP is described below:
8.1 PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGE
8.1.1 Pre-construction activities by PIU
Prior to the contractor mobilization, the PIU/Concessionaire will ensure that an encumbrance free CoI is handed over to enable the start of construction. The RoW clearance involves the following activities:
Acquisition of land and structures, Clearance of the RoW including removal of trees, and Relocation of common property resources impacted, including cultural properties as temples and
community assets as hand pumps and other utilities.
8.1.2 Pre-construction activities by BOT Concessionaire/Independent Engineer
The pre-construction stage involves mobilization of the BOT Concessionaire, the activities undertaken by the concessionaire pertaining to the planning of logistics and site preparation necessary for commencing construction activities. The activities include:
Joint field verification of EMP by the Independent Engineer and Concessionaire Modification (if any) of the contract documents by the Independent Engineer. Procurement of construction equipment / machinery such as crushers, hot mix plants, batching
plants and other construction equipment and machinery. Identification and selection of material sources (quarry and borrow material, water, sand etc). Selection, design and layout of construction areas, hot mix and batching plants, labour camps etc Planning traffic diversions and detours, including arrangements for temporary land acquisition. Obtaining all the necessary clearances /NOC’s/ consents from agencies concerned.
8.2 CONSTRUCTION STAGE
8.2.1 Construction Stage activities by BOT Concessionaire
Construction stage is the most crucial stage in terms of activities that require careful management to avoid environmental impacts. Activities that trigger the need for environmental measures to be followed include:
Imbibing environmental principles at all stages of construction as good engineering practices. Implementation of site-specific mitigation/management measures suggested Monitoring the quality of environment along the construction sites (as air, noise, water, soil) and

9. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN The monitoring programme is devised to ensure that the envisaged purpose of the project is achieved and results in desired benefit to the target population. To ensure effective implementation of the EMP, it is essential that an effective monitoring programme be designed and carried out. Broad objectives of the monitoring programme are:
1. To evaluate the performance of mitigation measures proposed in the EMP
2. To suggest improvements in the management plans, if required
3. To satisfy the statutory and community obligations
4. To provide feedback on adequacy of Environmental Impact Assessment
The monitoring programme contains monitoring plan for all performance indicators, reporting formats and necessary budgetary provisions. Monitoring plan for performance indicators and reporting system is presented in the following sections. Budgetary provisions for the envisaged programme is presented in Chapter – 10: Environment Budget.
9.1 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Physical, biological and environmental management components identified as of particular significance in affecting the environment at critical locations have been suggested as Performance Indicators (PIs). The Performance Indicators shall be evaluated under three heads as:
Environmental condition indicators to determine efficacy of environmental management measures in control of air, noise, water and soil pollution;
Environmental management indicators to determine compliance with the suggested environmental management measures
Operational performance indicators have also been devised to determine efficacy and utility of the mitigation/enhancement designs proposed.
The Performance Indicators and monitoring plans prepared for the project are presented in Table 9-1.
Table 9-1: Performance Indicators for the Project MONITORING Sl.No Indicator Details Stage Responsibility

Operation The Concessionaire will be responsible for monitoring upto 3 year since sapling planted.
2
Utility of Enhancement Provisions
The PIU will visit each of the enhancement locations (for cultural properties and incidental spaces) to determine the efficacy of the enhancements carried out and the community utilization of such areas.
Operation The Concessionaire will be responsible for monitoring upto a period as directed by Contract Document (preferabally 3 years).
3
StatusRegarding Rehabilitation of Borrow Areas
The PIU will undertake site visits to determine how many borrow areas have been rehabilitated in line with the landowners request and to their full satisfaction.
Operation The BOT Concessionaire will be responsible for monitoring until handed it over to the land owner.
4 Utility of Noise Barrier
The PIU will visit such sensitive locations along with the environmental monitoring agency (responsible for monitoring of noise levels during operation stage) to check for the efficacy of noise barrier.

For each of the environmental condition indicator, the monitoring plan specifies the parameters to be monitored; location of the monitoring sites; frequency and duration of monitoring. The monitoring plan also specifies the applicable standards, implementation and supervising responsibilities. The monitoring plan for environmental condition indicators of the project in construction and operation stages is presented in Table 9-2. Details of monitoring locations are presented in Table 9-3.

9.3 REPORTING SYSTEM
Reporting system for the suggested monitoring program operates at two levels as:
a.) Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental management indicators (except tree cutting indicator)
b.) Reporting for operational performance indicators at the PIU level.
BOT Concessionnaire and Independent Engineer operate the reporting system for environmental condition and environmental management indicators (except tree cutting). PIU will operate the reporting system for environmental management tree cutting indicator and operation performance indicators. The PIU will set the targets for each activity envisaged in the EMP beforehand and all reports will be against these targets.
Contractor will report to the Independent Engineer, on the progress of the implementation of environmental conditions and management measures as per the monitoring plans. The Independent Engineer will in turn report to the PIU on a quarterly basis. The PIU will send compliance report to the MoEF every six months as per the conditions of clearance granted for the project after receiving the report from the Contractor and duly verified by the Independent Engineer. The reports submitted to the MoEF will also be forwarded to the NHAI Head Office. A detailed reporting system for all the Performance Indicators has been developed and is presented in Annexure 9.1. Reporting formats for Contractors have been prepared, which will form the basis of monitoring, by the Independent Engineer. The details of reporting formats prepared for the project is presented in Table 9-4.

OP 4 Utility of Noise Barrier Operation - - -
In addition to these formats, to ensure that the environmental provisions are included at every activity of the implementation by the Contractor, it is suggested that the approval of the environmental personnel of the engineer is required in the Request for application to proceed or other similar reporting formats used by the Contractor. These will not only ensure that the environmental provisions are addressed but also link the satisfactory compliance to environmental procedures prior to approval of the Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) by the Engineer. The activities by the Contractor that can impact the environment will be identified based on discussions between the PIU, team leader of the Independent Engineer and the Environmental personnel of the Independent Engineer. The decisions will be communicated to the Contractor prior to the start of the construction activities.
9.4 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
The NHAI is responsible for implementation of all the mitigation and management measure suggested in the EMP. The NHAI already has certain organizational and institutional capacity to be able to satisfactorily complete the implementation of the EMP. The capacity was mainly created due to the requirements of implementing of this project corridor of the NHDP.
9.5 TRAINING
The Environmental Unit at the NHAI headquarters and the PIUs, who would be responsible for the implementation of the EMP, need to be trained on the effective implementation of the environmental issues. To ensure the success of the implementation set up proposed, there is a high requirement of training and skill up-gradation at the field level also.
The requirements of training will be in line with the existing modules being adopted by NHAI for training of the implementing agency. Additional training if required will be identified by the PIU during/prior to implementation and accordingly included in the Scope of Services of the Engineer employed for supervision of the project with necessary budgetary provisions.

12.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
12.3.1 Land Environment
Physiography and Terrain: The project corridor falls in the Bhadar River plain. The eastern part of the region is above 200 metres while the western part has an altitude of 100 metres above M.S.L. The general slope of the region is towards south-west. The elevation of the Junagadh district region falling in Mangrol, Manavadar, Keshod, Malia and Patan-Veraval talukas varies between 5 metres and 52 metres above the M.S.L in the Junagadh Coastal Plain.
Land Use: The total land use of the project corridor within the Proposed RoW is broadly classified and found to be Agriculture (85%), Settlements (5%), Barren (4%), Pasture land (3%) and others (3%).
12.3.2 Water Environment
Surface Water: The rivers crossing the project road are Uben (Ch 14+200), Lol (Ch. 29+200), Sonrakh (Ch 30+800), Ojat (Ch 48+000), Madvati (Ch 49+200), Sabli (Ch 60+200), Meghal (Ch 102+000) and Devka (Ch 117+000). The slope of the project area is towards South.
Ground Water: Talukas falling in the project region of both Rajkot and Junagadh districts are in Grey zone.
The ground water level falls below 20 m in Jetpur (Rajkot district) and Junagadh taluka during post monsoon season and the same varies between 5-10 m in other talukas of Junagadh district falling along the project corridor. Ground water has high fluoride content & is saline. Not fit for drinking in many areas. Drinking water supplied from reservoirs through various water supply schemes.(Source: Central Ground Water Board, 2002)
Water Quality: The surface water samples were collected from 5 rivers viz. Uben, Lol, Ozat, Megal and Devka for monitoring the surface water quality. Bore wells are the major source of water for drinking and other domestic purposes in villages and towns. Ground water (bore wells) samples were collected from 3 locations viz. Sahajanand Swami Gurukul, at the junction near Panidhra Village and Jetpur Industrial Area
Surface Water Quality Results: The pH value ranged between 7.36-7.90. TDS content ranged between 170-1430 mg/l while Chloride values ranged from 86 to 482 mg/l respectively, well below the tolerance limits. Iron content is found to be nil. There is no significant presence of trace metals in the surface waters. There is no faecal contamination as the Total Coliform bacteria and E.Coli are nil. Nil turbidity indicates that there is no sediment load in the water bodies and negligible soil erosion. Oil and grease, toxic constituents like phenolic compounds and cyanides are found to be absent.

While comparing with the CPCB Norms for Surface Waters, all parameters are found to be within the standard limits.
Ground Water Quality Results: The ground water sources had agreeable colour, taste and odour. The pH value ranged between 7.40-7.78, generally above the neutral mark and within the permissible limits for drinking water. TDS value ranged between 31-32 mg/l, in some stations and is within the permissible limit for drinking water (500 mg/l). Chloride values ranged from 335mg/l to 482 mg/l, iron content was nil, thus within permissible limits. BOD is also absent. There is no significant bacteriological contamination of these sources. Total alkalinity is found to be within the permissible limits. Total Hardness ranged between 258-325 mg/l and exceeds the limit in Jetpur Industrial Area. Heavy metals like iron, zinc, arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium and selenium are absent.
12.3.3 Air Environment
Meteorology:
Climate: The climate of both the districts is characterized by a hot summer and dryness in the non-rainy seasons. The cold season from December to February is followed by the hot season from March to May. The south-west monsoon season is from June to September and is followed by the post monsoon season from October to November.
Temperature: The mean maximum temperature in the region reaches 41 C in the warmer months from March to June. During the winter season, in December-January, the minimum temperature dips to 12.2 C and the maximum temperature remains around 29 C. The lowest average monthly minimum temperature is around 21 C.
Humidity: The maximum humidity is observed to be 92 % (Veraval) during the month of August. The minimum humidity is recorded at Rajkot (26 percent) during the month of January. Humidity in the monsoon season varies between 80% to 92% during morning hours and 56 % to 86% during evening hours. Other parts of the year average humidity level varies between 50 % to 70% during morning hours and evening hours are drier than morning hours.
Rainfall: Maximum rainfall occurs under the influence of the South West monsoons (June-September). The annual rainfall of the project area is around 1097 mm.
Wind Speed: The most predominant wind speed in the region is 1-19 Kmph. Wind speed above 62 kmph is not found to occur, those in the range of 20-61 kmph is also rare for Keshod and subsequent for Veraval. Calm (0 kmph) conditions also prevail substantially.

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Air Quality:
The air polluting sources in the project region primarily consist of industries and the vehicles plying on the roads. A total of ten (10) ambient air monitoring stations were identified based on the different existing land use pattern to study the ambient air quality along the project corridor.
Out of total 10 stations only 2 stations are in Industrial Zone and others are in Residential Zone, The on-site monitoring results shows that RPM (μg/m3) varies between 122 (Vivekanand Silicate Industry at km 24+900) to 191 (T-Junction at km 27+000), TSPM (μg/m3) varies between 230 (Vivekanand Silicate Industry at km 24+900) and 400 (T-Junction at km 27+000), SO2 (μg/m3)varies between 9.02 (Vivekanand Silicate Industry at km 24+900) to 16.95 (T-Junction at km 27+000), NO2 (μg/m3) varies between 13.67 (Vivekanand Silicate Industry at km 24+900) to 28.40 (T-Junction at km 27+000), CO (μg/m3) varies between 763 (Jetpur bypass at km 0+100) to 1716 (Panidhra Village at km 84+700). As we compare with the NAAQS, it is found that RPM and TSPM values are exceeding the permissible limit at all residential category stations. Among the Industrial category stations, RPM concentration exceeds only at km 0+100 (Jetpur Bypass), but TSPM is within the limit at the same station. SPM and TSPM concentrations are within the permissible limit at second Industrial Category Station. However, other parameters at all the stations are well within the Permissible limit.
12.3.4 Noise Environment
Noise Quality: To assess background noise levels in the study area, ambient noise monitoring was conducted. A total of fourteen (14) locations are identified along the project road, based on different types of areas. Out of total, 7 stations have been selected in Residential Zone, 6 in Commercial Zone and 1 in Industrial Zone.
Overall the Leq noise level range is 33.4 to 87.0 dB(A). During daytime, the noise level ranges from 34-87 dB(A). During the night time, the Leq range is 30 to 76.3 dB(A). The higher noise levels have been observed in commercial areas.
12.3.5 Biological Environment
Forests: No notified ecological sensitive zone, or ecosystems, National Park or Sanctuary, Reserve Forests, Rare or Endangered Species are present within the direct area of influence of the project corridor. However, about 67 km road side plantation (within existing RoW) is notified as Protected Forests.
Girnar Reserve Forest is the only sensitive ecological habitat present in the indirect influence area (about 1 km away, but the proposed bypass in that stretch is in the opposite direction).
Road Side Plantation: The common tree species found along the roadside are Amla, Arduso, Bor, Desibaval, Gando baval, Gundo, Jambu, Karanj, Khair, Khajuri, Khijdo, Limdo, Mitosaragavo, Piplo, Rayan, Sag etc. Fruit trees observed in certain locations along the corridor

are Guava, mango, coconut, Sofeda and banana garden. There are approximately 18000 trees are present within proposed RoW.
Fauna: Common animals like dogs, cats and cattle are also present. Avifauna includes peacock, myna, kingfisher, pigeon, kite, cattle, egret as the Girnar Forest is situated near the project area.
12.3.6 Socio-Economic and Cultural Environment
There is no Protected Monument by ASI within corridor of direct impact and even 200 m radius of the corridor. No historical and cultural conserved sites present within the direct area of influence. However, some of the historical and religious important sites present within the indirect area of influence are Uparkot, Girnar Hill Temple, Mahabat Makbara, Sakar Bagh Zoo, Swaminarayan Mandir, Damodar Kund, Pipleshwar Mahadev, Step well, Somnath Temple, Ashokan Rock (Edicts), Baba Pyare, Khapra Kodia caves.
14 number of educational institutes, 44 number of religious properties are located (partially/fully) within proposed RoW.
12.4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
12.4.1 Anticipated Impacts
The impacts of the project have been categorized into three phases: pre-construction, construction and operation phase.
(i) Pre-construction Phase: Impacts during the preconstruction phase primarily relate to preconstruction activities such as Acquisition of new Right of Way and site clearance activities will result in cutting of road side trees. The estimated total land requirement for the project is 462.27 Ha. There are number of amenities and utility services located along the highway such as restaurants, hand pumps, water taps, repair and spare parts shops, resting spaces, parking lots, PCOs, electric transformers, OFC etc. which will be impacted directly or indirectly due to widening of road.
(ii) Construction Phase: Impacts during construction phase are primarily on account of negligence while undertaking the construction works. Impacts include nuisance on account of air, noise and vibration effects during road construction, hindrance of access to road side properties during shifting of utilities and construction of road side drains and road safety issues from construction materials and equipments.
The microclimate is likely to be affected due to removal of roadside trees and addition of increased pavement surface. In addition, temporary loss of shade giving roadside trees will cause discomfort to the slow moving traffic and pedestrians. The road widening will involve about 472249 cum of cutting and 4774392 cum of filling. The acquisition of agricultural land would cause loss of productive soil. The erosion potential of these soils is moderate (20-40

VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
tonnes/ha/yr). All bridge locations where elevated embankments are required would be more sensitive to erosion during the construction period. Spillage of construction materials like bitumen, asphalt, oil & grease, fly ash etc. and the unwarranted disposal of construction spoils and debris will affect the core characteristics of the soil, which in turn can become unsuitable for agriculture. 19 borrow areas & 8 quarry areas have been identified as source of earth and aggregates and 3 sand mining areas identified in the project influence area. These sites and haul roads will have impact in terms of dust and noise. During construction, the disposal of solid and liquid waste from labour camps, fuel and lubricant spills or leaks from construction vehicles, pollution from fuel storage & distribution sites is likely to affect water quality. The negative impacts on air quality during construction will be mostly localized and concentrated in the Right of Way (RoW)/COI. However, it is likely that impacts due to dust generation are felt downwind of the site rather than the site itself. The noise levels in the project area during construction will increase though it will be intermittent and temporary in nature. The noise levels will be more pronounced around settlements and in inhabited areas. The 14 religious structures and 44 educational institutes located within the proposed RoW are likely to be affected due to construction of the project. Sewage and domestic solid waste will be generated at the construction workers colony. Improper management of these wastes may lead to health and hygiene related problems among the construction workers and the local population.
(iii) Operation Phase: Soil pollution due to accidental vehicle spills or leaks is a low probability but potentially disastrous to the receiving environment, if they occur. These impacts can be a long term and irreversible depending upon the extent and type of spill. Pollutants from vehicles, and accidental fuel spills may also make their way into surface water bodies across/along the project corridor. Higher traffic volume and speed will have impact on the ambient air quality as the road has to be widened to 4-lane. Increase in the number of vehicles would increase the pollutant load. Higher noise levels due to increased traffic volume and speed will affect the residential areas and sensitive receptor like educational institutes, hospitals and nursing homes.
The predicted levels of the pollutant gases are not significant in the horizon year till 2035, except only one location at km 89+900 (Veterinary Hospital) where NOx level is exceeding the permissible limit in year 2035. The predicted noise levels indicate that in future years noise levels at sensitive receptors are exceeding the Permissible Noise Standards if no noise barrier is considered. Predicted SPM results show that SPM concentration exceeds the permissible standard (residential) at one location in year 2035 out of total 8 locations.
12.4.2 Environmental Mitigation Measures
(i) Pre-construction Phase:
Alignment has been selected as eccentric right, eccentric left and concentric depending upon the social and environmental considerations to minimize cutting of trees standing along the project corridor and destruction of structures. About 60% trees are being saved due to eccentric
12-9
Final Feasibility ReportPreparation of Feasibility– cum-Preliminary Design for 4/6 Laning of Jetpur-Somnath section of NH 8D, Package No: NHAI/DBFOII/DPR/02
VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
widening options & proposed bypasses & realignments. Bypasses are also considered at 4 locatons to minimize the displacement of people and enhance Road safety for the user of the corridor. As a part of the compensatory plantation 3 trees shall be planted for each tree cut. Net Present Value shall be deposited to the Forest Department for diversion of notiofed Protected Forests as per demand note of the forest department. Compensation shall be paid for acquisition of land structures as per the Entitlement matrix developed for the project. The amenities like hand pumps, water tap, tube wells etc. which comes under direct impact will be compensated and relocated with community consultation and others will be shifted as per resettlement action plan.
(ii) Construction Phase:
Compensatory plantation and landscaping, to be carried out as part of the project, shall help in restoring the green cover along the corridor. Cut and fill is being balanced in the design to the extent feasible and fly ash is also to be used to minimize impacts on the physiography of the region. The permanent loss of topsoil can be avoided by conserving the topsoil from such areas and using it at other places for tree plantation, landscaping etc. Adequate slope protection measures need to be provided next to water bodies mainly during the rainy season. Disposal of construction waste shall be undertaken at landfill sites to minimize impacts. If a spill occurs, measures for safe incineration of spilled oil shall be taken to prevent seepage into the ground. Exhausted borrow areas shall be rehabilitated in environmentally sound manner. Aggregates will be sourced only from the licensed quarry sites, complying with the environmental and other applicable regulations, Quarry and crushing units will have adequate dust suppression measures like sprinkler in work area and along approach road to quarry site. To avoid contamination of the water bodies and drainage channels from fuel and lubricants, oil interceptor shall be provided at fuelling locations, construction vehicle parking area, vehicle repair area and workshops. The sewage system (including septic tanks and soak pits) for construction camps will be properly designed and built so that no water pollution takes place in any water body or watercourse. The asphalt plants, crushers and the batching plants will be sited at least 500 m in the downwind direction from the nearest settlement. All precautions to reduce the level of dust emissions from the hot mix plants, crushers and batching plants will be taken up. Construction vehicles, equipments and plants shall strictly adhere permissible noise standard during construction period. All necessary and adequate care has been taken to minimize impact on cultural properties (which includes Temples, places of worship, Majar, & others). The affected temples will be relocated with proper compensation and community consultation to avoid any kind of local conflict.
(iii) Operation Phase
Widening of existing 2-lane road to 4-lane along with bypass will reduce the traffic congestion. Smoothening of road surface shall further reduce the emission of the vehicles and noise level. Growth of the vegetative cover along the corridor with time shall again reduce impact of the air pollution. Plantation of green vegetative noise barriers have been proposed in front of the
