Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The proposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project on Sharavathy river would perhaps be one of the biggest Pumped storage Schemes in the range of 2000 MW in India. The proposed pumped storage project is planned as an additional installation utilising the existing Sharavathy system consisting of Liganamakhi, Talakalale Dam and Gerusoppa Dam. Location: The project is located in Shimoga & Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka as shown in Plate I (index map). The upper dam site is located at

Left Bank N- 14° 11’ 43.90”, E- 74˚ 46’ 43.14”

Right Bank N - 14˚ 11’ 38.98”, E- 74˚ 47’ 1.60” And the lower dam site is located at Left Bank N- 14 ˚ 14’ 56.03”, E- 74 ˚ 40’ 34.76”

Right Bank N- 14 ˚ 15’ 14.58”, E- 74 ˚ 40’ 29.43” The project site is approachable by Mangaluru to Jog fall by road, the distance is 220 Km and Vasco de Gama, Goa Airport to Jog Fall by road, the distance is 248 Km.

The following nearest rail heads are located

Mangalore Railway Station Road,( Broad Gauge) via Attavar, Mangaluru, (Karnataka) is 240 Km from project area (Jog fall)

Bhaktal Railway Station (meter gauge) – 44 Km from Lower Dam site. The nearest airport is located at Panjim in the state of Goa. The Project: The proposed pumped storage installation is planned within the existing Sharavathy system. The Sharavathy pumped Storage H.E Project with installed capacity of 2000MW is planned between existing Talakalale and Gerusoppa reservoir which are situated at downstream of Liganamakhi reservoir on Sharavathy river. The reservoir formed by the Liganamakhi dam across the river Sharavathy is the key to the optimum development of water resources of the river comprising regulating dams, diversion structures and associated 4 power stations having an aggregate installation of 1469 MW.

Chapter – 1: Introduction 2

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

The Water resources of the Sharavathy River and adjacent streams have been optimally utilized for power generation in Sharavathy Basin. Five (5) reservoirs regulate monsoon surplus waters of the Sharavathy and adjacent streams. KPCL has three major hydroelectric stations in the basin with a total installed capacity of 1330 MW.

Chapter – 1: Introduction 3

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

The present scheme is a very attractive scheme both in terms of technical feasibility and from economical consideration. The scheme envisages utilization of the waters of the Sharavathy River released from Liganamakhi dam through dam toe Power house by a hydel channel in to Talakalale reservoir, which is a balancing reservoir for existing Sharavathy H.E. Project of 1035 MW. The proposed pumped scheme envisages peak power generation on a Pumped storage type development, harnessing a head of about 460+ m between Talakalale as upper reservoir and Gerusoppa as Lower reservoir. During peak hours power will be generated by depleting the water reserve of the Talakalale upper reservoir which will pass through the waterway and the

Pre-Feasibility Report

generator and turbines installed at the power house and will be stored in the Gerusoppa Lower Reservoir. During off peak hours the excess power from thermal stations will be fed back to pump the water from Lower Reservoir to Upper reservoir through power house where generators and turbines will then act as motors and pumps respectively. The same cycle of operation will be repeated during peak and lean period.

Since the Upper and Lower reservoirs of Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (Sharavathy PSP) has effective storage capacity equivalent to four to five (5) hours of generation daily at full rated output, it is not possible for Sharavathy PSP to operate on weekly or seasonal basis.

Therefore, the Project is deemed to be operational on Daily basis.

1.2 Scope of Works

The Sharavathy Pumped Storage project envisages to utilise the existing Talakalale dam as upper dam and Gerusoppa as lower dam without any modification in these structures. The present operating levels are also remain unchanged. The proposed Pumped storage scheme envisages the construction of:

2 (two) No. intake with trash racks having mechanical raking arrangement.

2 (two) No. 2.726 Km long, 9 m diameter circular concrete lined

headrace tunnels including cut & cover.

2 (two) No. 0.828 Km long, 5.25m diameter inclined circular steel lined (including horizontal) pressure shafts

2(two) no. 16m dia circular Surge Shafts 52m high.

An underground power house having an installation of 8 Francis type reversible pump-turbine driven generating units of 250MW capacity each

2 (two) no. 3.780 Km & 3.830 Km long concrete lined tail race tunnels to carry the power house releases to lower reservoir.

Chapter – 1: Introduction 5

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

1.3 Hydrology

No G&D site specific data is available at any of these dam sites. However, the G&D site data available in adjoining basin on Tunga River and Aghanashini River have been transposed in catchment area proportion to Liganamakhi dam site (as they are in some hydro-meteorological region). The impact of rainfall during transposition has not been considered. The transposition reveals a mean daily runoff at Liganamakhi dam site from Shimoga G&D site is 121.28 cumec/day while from Santeguli G&D site (based on Aghanashini River) 234.03 cumec/day. Thus at this stage, it is evident that the inflow is commensurate with the requirement to meet the diurnal inflow requirement which is in the range of 130-140 cumec/day. Hence based on the available data/information, it can be concluded that water availability at Liganamakhi is adequate to meet the flow requirement for diurnal operation of existing and proposed pump storage scheme.

1.4 Installed Capacity and Power Generation

The factors influencing the installed capacity of pumped storage scheme at a site are the requirement of daily peaking hours of operation; operating head, live pondage in the reservoirs and their area capacity characteristics. The details are summarized below:

Installed Capacity (MW) 2000

No of units 8

Unit Size (MW) 250

Head (max)- Generating 478 m

Head (Min)- Generating 476 m

Hours of daily Peaking Operation 6

Energy Generation (MWh) 12000

Pumping Energy (MWh) 14833

Cycle Efficiency 80.90%

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

1.5 Power Evacuation Arrangement

The 2000 MW power generated at 18 kV will be stepped up to 400 kV. This power shall be further evacuated from Pothead yard area by following two 400 kV D/C transmission lines:

S. No. Transmission Line Route Length

1. Two 400 kV D/C from Sharavathy PSP to 400 kV Sub-station at Talaguppa

Approx 60 KM

1.6 Environmental Aspects Based on the preliminary assessment of environmental issues considered in the present Chapter, it can be concluded that the project is in proximity to ecologically sensitive area Sharavathy Wildlife Sanctuary.(about 3 Km.) . It is proposed to conduct, a detailed Comprehensive EIA study with an objective to assess various impacts likely to accrue as a result of construction and operation of the proposed project on various aspects of Environment. Appropriate management measures too shall be delineated as a part of Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which will be covered as a part of the Comprehensive EIA study. The water conductor system from Talakhala Reservoir is about 3.4 km from Sharavathy wildlife sanctuary. Hence, the project would require clearance from National Board of Wildlife. 1.7 Estimates of the Cost

The project is estimated to cost Rs. 4862.89 Crores at April, 2017 price levels. The preliminary cost estimate of the project has been prepared as per guidelines of CEA / CWC. The break down of the cost estimates is given below:

Item Estimated Cost (Rs. Lacs)

Civil Works 273980.38

Electro-mechanical Works 227764.24

Total 501744.62

Chapter – 1: Introduction 7

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Financial Aspects As indicated above, the Sharavathy Pumped Storage extension project, with an estimated cost (Generation only) of Rs. 5017.44 Crores and design peak energy generation of 4380 GWh is proposed to be completed in a period of 5 years. The tariff has been worked out considering a debt-equity ratio of 70:30, and annual interest rate on loan at 12.50%. The tariff for first year and levellised tariff (at power house bus bar) has been worked out as Rs. 5.73/ unit and Rs. 5.33/ unit respectively in a 90% dependable year.

1.8 Conclusion & Recommendation The project is outside of the Sharavathy Wildlife Sanctuary. However, due to in proximity to the Wildlife Sanctuary the project layout has been prepared in such a way that it is completely underground. Dams are existing and the powerhouse complex is underground. Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project involves minimum civil works and could be completed in 5 years. The project would afford a design energy generation of 4380 GWh in a 90% dependable year. The cost per MW installed works out as Rs. 2.50 Crores. The Preliminary Feasibility Report indicates that the scheme merits consideration for taking up for Survey & Investigation and preparation of DPR.

CHAPTER - 3

HYDROLOGY

3.1 Introduction

The existing Sharavathy Hydroelectric Project/ Scheme in Karnataka State comprises of a cascade development for utilization of Sharavathy river water for hydropower use. The total installed capacity from three reservoirs is 1469.2 MW and the development comprises of the following:

i) Liganamakhi dam (Main reservoir with catchment area of 1991.56 km2) and comprising of a toe dam power house with an installed capacity of 55 MW (2 x 27.5 MW) for power generation.

ii) The tail water is picked up by Talakalale dam (Catchment area 46.62 km2) to generate hydropower through Sharavathy Power House with an installed capacity of 1035 MW (10 x 103.5 MW).

iii) Liganamakhi dam also supplies water to Mahatma Gandhi

Hydroelectric (MGHE) Station with an installed capacity of 139.2 MW (4 x 13.2 MW + 4x21.6 MW).

iv) The tail water releases of MGHE and Sharavathy Power House are

picked up by Gerusoppa dam to utilize the Hydro Potential thereon with an installed capacity of 240 MW (4x60 MW).

A line diagram indicating the existing reservoirs is at Plate -1.

It is now proposed to further utilize the hydro-potential by using Talakalale as upper reservoir and Gerusoppa as lower reservoir by installing a new Pumped Storage Project.

Since the proposed scheme is a pumped storage scheme and envisages to utilize the balance surplus diurnal storage after Sharavathy HEP operation no modification in the operating levels are needed. Moreover, only recycling of balance storage is proposed for PSP operation. As such hydrological study is required to the extent to see the required inflow into reservoir from Linganamakki Reservoir. Based on the release data from Linganamakki from July 1995 to May 2015, it is evident that an average flow of about 130-140 m3/s is ensured from

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project

(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Linganamakki dam. The proposed PSP is planned using this inflow. For PFR stage studies a preliminary assessment has been made.

3.2 Data Availability

The project authorities had supplied the inflow and discharge details for Liganamakhi dam from 01-07-1995 to 16-05-2015 (Daily basis). The elevation area capacity of Liganamakhi dam upto 554.40 MW elevation is available through the FRL is 559.91 m and MWL being 560.52 m.

The elevation area capacity curve of Talakalale reservoir and Gerusoppa reservoir are attached at Annexure – 1 (a & b)

No Gauge and Discharge site is available on Sharavathy River. However, in the adjoining basin, CWC Gauge and Discharge data is available at two sites namely (i) Shimoga on Tunga river (CA = 2831 km2) and (ii) Santeguli on Aghanashini River (CA = 1090 km2). The mean daily flow for the period January 1990 to May 2013 at these two sites are 172.4 cumec/ day and 128.0 cumec/ day respectively.

3.3 Water Availability

No G&D site specific data is available at any of these dam sites. However, the G&D site data available in adjoining basin on Tunga River and Aghanashini River have been transposed in catchment area proportion to Liganamakhi dam site (as they are in some hydro-meteorological region). The impact of rainfall during transposition has not been considered. The transposition reveals a mean daily runoff at Liganamakhi dam site from Shimoga G&D site is 121.28 cumec/ day while from Santeguli G&D site (based on Aghanashini River) 234.03 cumec/ day. Thus at this stage, it is evident that the inflow is commensurate with the requirement to meet the diurnal inflow requirement which is in the range of 130-140 cumec/day.

Hence based on the available data/information, it can be concluded that water availability at Linganamakki is adequate to meet the flow requirement for diurnal operation of existing and proposed pump storage scheme.

3.4 Design Flood

The associated dams/reservoirs are existing and in operations for the last several decades. Moreover, the proposed scheme is a pumped scheme and do not

envisage any change in existing operating levels of both reservoirs. No structural modifications/interface are required in existing dams. As such, the spillway provisions are already in place and are in operation successfully.

CHAPTER - 4

GEOLOGICAL STUDIES

4.1 Introduction

The proposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project is located in between Talakalale Reservoir and Gerosoppa Reservoir (Lat N14o12’30’’ to N14o15’00’’

and Long E74o40’00’’ to E74o45’00’’, SI Topo sheet Nos 48 J/ 11 & 12) in Shimoga District, Karnataka. The proposed project envisages diversion of water from the existing Talakalale Balancing Reservoir through two intake channels and thereafter through two headrace tunnels (HRT) –pressure shafts to an underground power house to generate 1000MW (4 x 250 MW) of power. The tail water will be diverted through tunnels (TRT) to existing Gerosoppa Reservoir of Sharavati River. Owing to pumped storage nature of the project, the water from Gerosoppa Reservoir will be pumped through TRT- Reversible Turbines – pressure shaft – HRT to the Talakalale Reservoir during lean hours.

4.2 Geology

4.2.1 Regional Geomorphology & Geology

The Sharavathy River flows towards west through the southern part of Karnataka to meet Arabian Sea. The 270m high water fall (Jog Fall), the highest water fall in India is present along this river at Jog near the project area. At this fall, the river flows down along a fault scarp. Regionally the area of Southern Karnataka is represented by highly rugged terrain comprising steep hills and subsequent valleys, mainly covered by thick forest. A number of tributaries meet the Sharavati River on both the banks. Dendritic and sub-parallel drainage pattern is characteristic of the terrain. Sub-parallel drainage pattern of first order streams are generally joint controlled and occasionally flowing along faults.

The terrain represents by rocks of Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC), Bababudan Group, Chitradurga Group of Dharwar Super group, Ultramafic Complex (Sargur Group) of Archaean age. The rock mass has been intruded by mainly basic and acid intrusives of Palaeo-proterozoic age. Sargur Group consist of mainly older ultramafics. The PGC is represented by mainly granite gneiss, migmatitic gneiss, augen gneiss etc. Enclaves of amphibolite within the PGC are common. The rocks of Bababudan Group consist of quartzite, chlorite schist, hornblende-actinolite-chlorite schist, amphibolite etc. The basic and acid

intrusives are mainly dolerite and quartz vein respectively. Generally, a cap of laterite of Cenozoic age is present above the rock mass. The rocks are dissected by a few joint sets. A number of faults, lineaments including the fault along the Jog Water Fall near the project site have also been reported. The regional stratigraphic succession of the area is given below.

4.2.2 Geology of the Project Area

The Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project is proposed in between already constructed dams of Talakalale Lake (balancing reservoir) located at south eastern part and Gerosoppa Reservoir on Sharavathy River at north western part. As both the upper and lower reservoirs are already present, only water conductor system and powerhouse will be required for this project. The water conductor system includes two intake channels, two HRTs, Surge Shafts, Pressure Shafts, underground powerhouse and TRTs. The tentative project layout has been superimposed on the enlarged Regional Geological Map (1:50,000 Scale) and enclosed as Plate 1.

The Sharavathy River shows meandering at the project area and flows towards NW and thereafter towards west. A number of sub-parallel tributaries join Sharavati River from both the banks. Beside the sub-parallel drainage pattern, dendritic drainage pattern is also present at the central part between the above mentioned upper and lower reservoirs. The sub-parallel drainage is controlled by

joints. A WNW – ESE trending water divide is present between the above two reservoirs.

Mainly granite gneiss belonging to Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC) and amphibolite represent the major part of project site (Plate 1). However, schistose (Hornblende- actinolite-chlorite schist) rock of Bababudan Group will be present at the lower part of TRT and TRT outfall area. At the project site, the surface is mainly covered by thick laterite and/or slope wash material with meager outcrops of granite gneiss/augen gneiss and amphibolites. Bababudan Group is unconformable lies over the Peninsular Gneissic Complex. The schistose rock (Hornblende- actinolite-chlorite schist) is appears to be occurred as outlier at the project site. Gneissocity/ foliation has been well developed in the rock mass. The general strike of foliation is N – S (N 05° E) and dip 60° towards S 85° E. The rocks have been dissected by a few joint sets. The joint sets are (i) N – S/ V, (ii) N 75° E/ 85° SE (iii) N 80° W/ V, (iv) N 30° E/ V. A generalized geological section from intake to TRT has also been prepared (Plate 2) for better assessment during PFR stage.

The tentative geological assessment of the project components are incorporated in successive sub-sections.

4.2.2.1 Intake

A location of intake has tentatively been fixed from the Talakalale Reservoir (Plate 1). Initially, at the intake, a channel will be required for a little distance up to the foot of the hill and thereafter the water can be diverted through HRT. Along the proposed intake channel alignment, slope wash material and laterite are exposed. During excavation of the intake channel heavy seepage/ water ingress is anticipated from the existing Talakalale Reservoir. Therefore, it is proposed to excavate the intake channel from the foot of the hillock where the portal HRT has been proposed. During connection of the channel with the reservoir, dewatering through heavy duty pumps will be required. It is to mention that the intake channel is feasible on geological & geotechnical consideration, however suitable protective measures are to be provided along the cut slope of the channel. In this connection, a cut & cover duct is proposed instead of intake channel to avoid recurring maintenance expenditure, as well as to make this component echo-friendly. In this case the land will be reclaimed by filling up of excavated material over the duct and afforestation can be done.

4.2.3 Head Race Tunnel (HRT)

Chapter – 4: Geological Studies 4

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project

(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

The intake portal of the head race tunnel (HRT) has been planned from foot of the hillock (Plate – 1). At the hillock mainly laterite with sporadic small outcrops of granite gneiss and amphibolite have been observed. It is anticipated that about 10-15m thick laterite is present at this site below which rock (granite gneiss/ amphibolite) will be available. Presence of minor shear zones cannot be ruled out where considerable ingress of water is anticipated. Generally, ‘Poor’ to ‘Fair’ rock

mass at the initial reach of the HRT and thereafter ‘Fair’ to ‘Good’ rock mass is

anticipated, except along the shear zones, if present, where rock mass is likely to be deteriorated to class IV (poor)/ V (very poor). Besides lining, mainly rock bolts with or without shotcrete/ SFRS depending upon site specific rock mass condition may be required along the tunnels. However, detailed geological and geotechnical mapping and sub surface explorations through drilling will have to be undertaken to delineate rock types and rock mass condition including fixation of portals of HRT & construction adits during DPR stage investigation. Due to presence of sufficient cover, hard and competent rock mass is likely to form the tunneling media along the HRT and as such no major problem is anticipated on geological & geotechnical considerations.

4.2.4 Surge Shaft & Pressure Shaft

Two underground surge shafts have been proposed (Plate 1). The cover will be about 51m. Granite gneiss with bands/ enclaves of amphibolite is expected along the surge shaft below the cover of laterite/slope wash material. Sufficient lateral cover and more than 2D vertical rock cover is present above the 16 m dia surge shaft. Class II (Good) to class III (Fair) rock mass is anticipated along the surge shaft except in the shear zones, if present, where poor rock mass will be encountered. Mainly rock bolts with or without shotcrete/ SFRS depending upon rock mass condition and lining may be required along the surge shaft. However, detail investigation through large scale geological mapping and drilling are required to decipher the rock mass condition including fixation of portals of construction adits. Owing to presence of similar geological condition, the above rock mass categories are anticipated along the pressure shaft also. As competent rock mass like granite gneiss & amphibolite are anticipated along the surge shaft & pressure shaft, no major stability problems are likely to occur.

4.2.5 Underground Powerhouse

An underground powerhouse (323.8m long x 22m width x 53m high) has been contemplated. The underground powerhouse is proposed near the water divide between the upper and lower reservoirs. The vertical cover above the

Chapter – 4: Geological Studies 5

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project

(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

powerhouse will be about 312m. Granite gneiss with patches of amphibolite are likely to be present at the powerhouse cavern. Regarding orientation of the underground powerhouse, prioritization has been given on hydraulics as per prime requirement of pumped storage project and considering the four sets of joints including foliation joint, a tentative N 35° E – S 35° W alignment of L-axis of powerhouse has tentatively been worked out. In this case, the foliation will intersect the L-axis at 35° and other 3 joints sets at an angle of 25°, 20° and 10°. Finalization of the orientation of powerhouse can be made after detailed investigation. It can be concluded that hard and competent rock mass like fresh granite gneiss & amphibolite are anticipated at the cavern level and the site is feasible on geological & geotechnical considerations. Moreover, it is to mentioned that all the joints reported on the surface may not continue or the will be tight and unaltered at depths. Rock bolts and SFRS are likely to be the major support system in underground power house. However, detailed surface and sub-surface geological and geotechnical investigations including drill holes and drift will be required to know the actual rock types, rock mass characteristics of the cavern as well as to keep suitable protective measures in the design and to optimized the location and orientation of the powerhouse. During DPR stage investigation of portals of construction adits, Main Access Tunnel and other tunnels are also to be fixed.

4.2.6 Tail Race Tunnel (TRT)

The surface is mainly covered by laterite and slope wash material. Granite gneiss at the upper portion (Northern portion) of TRT and schist (Hornblende - actinolite - chlorite schist) will be present at the lower (Southern) portion of the TRT and outfall area as reflected in the geological map (Plate 1). Detailed investigation through large scale geological and geotechnical mapping supported by a few drill holes will be required in the DPR stage investigation to assess the actual geomorphological, geological and geotechnical condition along the TRT alignment.

4.2.7 Seismicity

The project area is located in parts of North Kanara and Shimoga Districts of west central part of Karnataka. As per Seismic Zonation Map of India (Plate 3), the area lies in Seismic Zone III. A number of faults and lineaments are present around the area. Preparation of lineament map and analysis of past earthquake data will be required at the DPR stage to get an idea of seismicity of the area.

Chapter – 4: Geological Studies 6

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project

(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

However, the seismic parameters considered for Gerosoppa and Talakalale dams can also be taken for this proposed project also.

4.2.8 Construction Material

Granite gneiss is locally used for construction of road and buildings as fresh amphibolite/ ultramafic rocks are not available at shallow depth. Geological investigations will be required to find out the quarry sites of suitable rock (Granite, dolerite dykes etc.).Options for utilization of the quarry sites of already constructed projects (Talakalale Lake and Gerosoppa) may also be explored. However, during DPR stage investigation, an assessment of rock type, nature of rock mass and condition can also be done along the HRT - TRT alignment and powerhouse cavern. It is anticipated that the excavated material particularly granite gneiss and basic rock from the tunnels and powerhouse cavern may be suitable for use as coarse aggregate of concrete. However, after locating the suitable quarry sites, the engineering and mineralogical properties for the various rock types will be determined to know their suitability as coarse aggregate of concrete for wearing and non-wearing surfaces. The river sand can be used as fine aggregate of concrete after laboratory tests for which, suitable sites will be identified and scientific mining be done in an eco-friendly manner.

4.3 Conclusions and Recommendations

1. The project is located in stable shield area. The terrain is represented by mainly rocks of Peninsular Gneissic Complex and subordinately Dharwar Super Group of rocks.

2. Competent rock mass like granite gneiss with enclaves of amphibolite are likely to be present along the HRT, Pressure Shaft, Underground Power House & major portion of TRT. Metabasics of Dharwar Super Group is likely to be present at the lower reaches of TRT.

3. Hard and competent rock mass is anticipated along the HRT, Surge Shaft,

Pressure Shaft, TRT & at the Underground Power house due to presence of sufficient rock cover. Detailed geological investigations are required to fix the project layout on the basis of geological and geotechnical aspects including fixation of portals of construction adits, Main Access Tunnel and other tunnels.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project

(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

4. A cut & cover duct is being proposed along the intake channel to make it echo-friendly. Fair to poor rock mass is anticipated at the initial reach of HRT and near the outlet of TRT. Poor to very poor rock mass with heavy seepage zones may be encountered along the shear zones, if present. Mainly rock bolts with or without shotcrete/ SFRS and lining may be required along the tunnels. Rock bolts and SFRS are likely to be the major support system in underground power house.

5. Detailed geological and geotechnical investigations through surface mapping

and drilling/ drifting are essentially required for preparation of DPR, characterization of rock mass, sites specific assessment of project components and to work out suitable protective measures and to decipher support system.

6. Identification of quarry sites, determination of physical parameters of rock samples to know their suitability as coarse aggregate of concrete for both wearing and non- wearing surfaces are also required at the DPR stage investigations.

7. The area falls within Seismic Zone III as per Seismic Zonation Map of India.

Preparation and study of lineament map, analysis of past earthquake data will be required at the DPR stage. However, the seismic parameters considered for Gerosoppa and Talakalale dams can suitably be taken into account for this proposed project also.

8. The project, prima-facie appears to be feasible on geological and

geotechnical consideration. However, in depth study through surface and sub – surface investigations are required for detailing the project components and to decipher suitable protective measures.

Pre-Feasibility Report

CHAPTER - 5 HYDRO POWER DEVELOPMENT

IN SHARAVATHY RIVER BASIN PLANNING 5.1 Power Development in Sharavathy Basin The Sharavathy pumped Storage H.E Project with installed capacity of 2000 MW is planned between existing Talakalale and Gerusoppa reservoir which are situated at downstream of Linganamakki reservoir on Sharavathy River. The reservoir formed by the Linganamakki dam across the River Sharavathy is the key to the optimum development of water resources of the River comprising regulating dams, diversion structures and associated 4 power stations having an aggregate installation of 1469 MW. The major components are as under.

5.1.1 Sharavathy Hydroelectric Project

The project has following components:

(i) Linganamakki dam across the Sharavathy to provide a regulating storage

capacity of 4294 MCum to regulate waters of the River. (ii) Lingnamakki dam powerhouse having an installation of 55 MW comprising

2 generating units of 27.5 MW driven by vertical axis Kaplan turbines. (iii) The powerhouse discharges are carried through a 4.3 km channel to the

Talakalale reservoir after making necessary releases for water requirement for Jog falls and Mahatama Gandhi powerhouse.

(iv) A 62.48 m high dam across the Talakalale stream to create a reservoir with live storage capacity of 13.60 MCum;

(v) A water conductor system comprising two no. Tunnels, two no. surge shafts and penstocks carry waters from Talakalale reservoir to the surface powerhouse having an installation of 1035 MW (10 generating units of 103.5 MW each driven by Pelton turbines).

5.1.2 Chakra Diversion Scheme

The waters in the Sharavathy reservoir were later augmented by diversion of the waters from the adjacent Chakra and Savehaklu streams to argument the energy generation at schemes in Sharavathy basin.

Pre-Feasibility Report

5.1.3 Gerusoppa Dam Scheme

The Sharavathy powerhouse releases into the River along with the inflows from free catchment area are utilized over the further drop in the River for power generation at Gerusoppa Dam Powerhouse (240 MW). The project, completed in 2002 comprises:

(i) A 64 m high dam across the Sharavathy near Gerusoppa village to create

a reservoir with live storage capacity of 58.21 MCum between FRL 55 m and MDDL 43.5 m.

(ii) A dam toe power station located on the right bank with an installation of 240 MW comprising 4 generating units of 60 MW each) driven by Francis turbines.

In addition Mahatma Gandhi Hydro Electric Station with installed capacity of 139.20 MW is also part of Sharavathy River basin. However this project has no role in planning of proposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage scheme. The Water resources of the Sharavathy River and adjacent streams have been optimally utilised for power generation in Sharavathy Basin. Five (5) reservoirs regulate monsoon surplus waters of the Sharavathy and adjacent streams. KPCL has three major hydroelectric stations in the basin with a total installed capacity of 1330 MW.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

It would be seen from above hydro share in Karnataka is more than All India figure though it is much less than ideal mix of 40:60 as indicated in “Policy on Hydro Power Development-1998”Hydro Power development in Karnataka has not taken place at desired level due to various reasons like environmental concern, geological problems, inter-state problems, land acquisition. However as the power system demand expands, more hydro /pumped storage schemes are required to meet the peak demand. Thermal stations are best suited to meet base load and intermediate load demand.

In Karnataka also problems are being faced in taking up conventional hydro projects in Cauvery basin, Mahadayi Project (345 MW) due to inter-state aspect with Goa, Gundia (200 MW) hydro project due to environmental reasons. Pumped storage Project offers an option to meet the peaking demand. C-Step report also recommended taking up of Pumped storage schemes 5.2.2 To meet targeted peak demand sufficient installed capacity need to be planned. Present scenario (Jan 2017) of peak demand met and installed capacity in Karnataka and All – India is given below: Peak Demand Vs Installed Capacity (As on Jan 2017)

5.2.3 Central Electricity Authority has prepared “Draft National Electricity Plan”

in December 2016.The studies have been done on All- India level. As per this document, the projected peak demand and installed capacity during 2021-22 and 2026-27 is given below All India Projected Peak Demand Vs Installed Capacity (As per Draft National Plan Dec 2016)

Pre-Feasibility Report

From the above tables, it is felt that installed capacity planned could be around 2 times of projected peak demand. 5.2.5 As 19th Electric Power Survey (EPS) report is yet to be published, peak demand figures given in 18th EPS for Karnataka has been considered for preliminary planning for required installed capacity in Karnataka during 2021-22 to 2026-27. An additional study for required installed capacity with peak demand reduced by 10% has also been carried out.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

5.2.6 The PRDC has prepared a report on August’ 2013 for KPCL, Karnataka in which they carried out load forecasting study, generation planning and preparation of prospective plan for the period from 2012-13 to 2021-22. The report has forecasted peak demands, demand met, deficiencies as well wind capacity credit (MW) for the years 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17. As per this report, the maximum monthly peak demand has progressively increased from 10695, 11468 & 12302 MW in these three years. The report has concluded that improving wind capacity credit will depend on the flexibility of operation of future conventional generations like storage based hydro/pumped storage power plants and short term wind forecasting tools.

5.2.7 Subsequent to above, the Power System Operation Corporation Limited and National Institute of Advance Studies have conducted study in March 2015 on “Wind & Solar Energy for meeting Karnataka’s future electricity demand”. The association developed a method of estimating hourly unrestricted demand and the likelihood of meeting bulk of it from conventional sources available then and the remained from renewable sources to reduce the extent of deficit in Karnataka, which is substantial leading to economic losses and inconveniences. Analysis for 2017 & 2022 scenarios was done. The analysis for 2022 was based on the assumption of having a 1000MW, 10 hour pumped storage scheme. The report recommended a total of 4800MW of wind power, 2500MW of solar power and addition with energy storage facility (for 2022).It has concluded that combined, these are expected to reduce defict by 69% with no deficit for 7 months of the year and generate about 22% excess as expressed with deficts as a base. Thus, 200MW Sharavathy Pumped Storage Scheme will go a long way in meeting Karnataka’s future electricity demand. 5.2.8 As per report of National institute of Advance Study (March 2015) installed capacity from RES in Karnataka should be 17300 MW by 2022 to meet the projected demand. Thus 11295 MW (17300 -6105) need to be added during 2017-22 from RES. However as per Draft National Electricity Plan 8712 MW (14817-6105 MW) from RES sources is likely to be added from RES in Karnataka during 2017-22. Sharavathy PSS with proposed installed capacity of 2000 MW could fill the gap in demand.

5.2.9 The possibility of installing 1000 MW in the first stage and further 1000 MW in the second stage when system Demand further grows would also be examined. But necessary civil works need to be completed in the first stage itself.

5.3.1 The waters releases from the Sharavathy reservoir through Lingnamakki Powerhouse (55 MW) are carried in a hydel channel to the Talakalale reservoir, which serves as a balancing reservoir for their further utilization at Sharavathy Powerhouse (updated installed capacity: 1035 MW) located on the left bank of the River Sharavathy. The Sharavathy powerhouse releases into the River along with the inflows from free catchment area are utilized over the further drop in the River for power generation at Gerusoppa Dam Powerhouse (240 MW).

The significant storage capacity at Talakalale and Gerusoppa reservoirs as given in the Table below together with their large elevation difference of about 450 m between the two reservoirs, renders this site as one of most attractive possibilities for Pumped Storage Development in the country.

5.3.2 Storage Requirement for existing Sharavathy Power House: The maximum re-regulating capacity at Talakalale reservoir would be required for one block operation of Sharavathy Power Station for 12 hours operation, which works out about 3.25 MCM when it is receiving inflow from Linganamakki reservoir.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Keeping aside the above storage for operation of existing power station as above, the remaining capacity of about 10.4 MCM could be utilized for pumped storage development, which can support a PSS installation of more than 2000 MW for 6 hours operation. The lower reservoir at Gerusoppa has comparatively large storage, which in no manner would constrain in the selection of installed capacity. 5.3.3 The factors influencing the installed capacity of pumped storage scheme at a site are the requirement of daily peaking hours of operation; operating head, live pondage in the reservoirs and their area capacity characteristics, which determine the head variations on the units. The head variation expressed by the ratio of maximum head to minimum head is preferred as below 1.5. In case of proposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage Scheme head variation is minimal. The daily load factor of operation of the scheme, which in turn determines the hours of operation in a day, depends on the power system requirements arrived at from the analysis of the projected system load curve at the time of commissioning of the units and taking into consideration the mix of generating stations and their characteristics. The load demand curve of Karnataka obtained from SLDC, Bangalore for November’16 and February’ 17 shows the day time peak demand requirement reaching 2007 MW and 1766MW respectively (Annex-1 and Annex-2 enclosed). An in-depth study is to be undertaken for confirmation of installed capacity at the time of DPR preparation. However, for the purpose of PFR study, peaking operation of the scheme has been considered as 6 hours. The assessment of storage requirement in the ponds for power generation has been carried out on the basis of daily operation. 5.3.4 Simulation of Daily Operation

The area-capacity curve of Talakalale reservoir which is proposed as upper reservoir and Gerusoppa reservoir ,proposed as lower reservoir have been given as Annex-3 and Annex-4. The operation of the scheme in either mode viz. generation or pumping, results in continuous change in the levels of the two reservoirs as also consequently change in the operating head on the machines. The impact of such continuous variations in head is best captured by simulation of operation of the scheme considering shorter time intervals of 9 minutes. The detailed preliminary operation simulation studies of the Scheme have been

carried out to considering 40 time intervals of 9 minutes each for 6 hours generating cycle to assess storage requirement for proposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage Scheme for different installed capacity starting from 1000 MW to 2000 MW with interval of 250 MW. The details of the studies for 2000 MW are given at Annex-5 and Annex-6. The storage requirements for different installed capacity is given in the table below: Sharavathy PSS- Storage Requirement (MCM) for Different Installed Capacity for 6

* During 6 hours of peaking operation It would be seen from above that sufficient storage is available at upper reservoir for Sharavathy Pumped Storage scheme for installation of 2000 MW. The lower reservoir at Gerusoppa with live storage of 58.21 MCM would not pose any constrain in the selection of installed capacity. The energy generation/pumping energy requirement and determine the various parameters of the scheme such as operating levels of the two reservoirs, pondage requirement and the installed capacity. An average efficiency of reversible units has been considered as 92% in generating mode and 90% in the pumping mode. The cycle efficiency has been worked out as 80.9%. With installed capacity of 2000 MW, daily generation for 6 hours peaking would be 12000 MWHr. Daily pumping energy requirement would be 14833.33 MWHr (Depends on cycle efficiency). 5.4 Studies Proposed at DPR stage:

At DPR stage detailed power planning studies shall be carried out which inter-alia would include the following:

Pre-Feasibility Report

i) Consideration of environment flow (e-flow).if any, in reservoir simulation studies.

ii) Finalized power demand projections of Karnataka. iii) Role of Sharavathy PSS in projected system daily load curves at the time

of commissioning of units of Sharavathy PSS taking into account mix of generating stations likely to be available and their characteristics.

iv) Study of Requirement/ availability of off- peak energy v) Source of off-peak energy (Within or outside Karnataka) and its rate. vi) After taking into consideration the finalized demand projection& availability

of off-peak energy scenario, the possibility of installing 1000 MW in the initial stage and further 1000 MW in the later stage when system demand further grows and availability of off-peak energy increases, would also be examined. However necessary Civil works need to be completed in the first stage itself.

CHAPTER – 6

PLANNING & DESIGN OF CIVIL STRUCTURES

6.1 Introduction The existing Sharavathy Hydroelectric Project is a major hydroelectric project with an installed capacity of 1035 MW with 10 units of 103.5 MW. Linganamakki Dam is the main reservoir of the project. Water released through Lingnamakki Dam Powerhouse (2X27.5=55 MW) reaches Talakalale reservoir which is a balancing head pond/reservoir for further utilization at Sharavathy Powerhouse (1035 MW) located on the left bank of the river Sharavathy. Mahatma Gandhi Hydroelectric (MGHE) station with an installed capacity of 139.2 MW is also situated at the downstream of Linganamakki Dam. The water released from Sharavathy PH and MGHE is utilized in the Gerusoppa reservoir for power generation through dam power house of installed capacity 240 MW (4X60).

Chapter – 6: Civil Design 2

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Hydraulic Flow diagram of all hydraulic structures and power houses on river Sharavathy and its tributaries up to Arabian Sea is shown above. Present Proposal:

Since there is a significant head about 450m available between existing Talakalale reservoir and Gerusoppa reservoir with adequate storage available, possibility of installation of new pumped storage project exists. The scheme is attractive as both the dams are already existing and hence only water conductor system and Power house complex needs to be constructed. The proposed pumped storage scheme envisages to utilize existing dams and new water conductor system and Power House complex as under: 1. Upper Reservoir: The existing Talakalale dam which is a 62.48 m high commissioned in 1963 and acts as balancing reservoir for the existing Sharavathy H.E. project is proposed to be the upper reservoir of the Pumped Storage scheme. The proposed pumped storage installation does not envisages any modification in the existing operating levels of the reservoir. In addition, the proposed intake of the pumped storage project is located at a separate location away from the existing intake of the existing Sharavathy H.E. project. 2. Lower Reservoir:

The existing Gerusoppa dam which is a 64 m high composite dam (Gravity and earthen) commissioned in 2001 is proposed to be the lower reservoir of the proposed pumped storage scheme. The proposed pumped storage installation does not envisages any modification in the existing operating levels of the reservoir. 3. PSP Power Intake Two number of intake structures have been proposed from the reservoir rim about 5 km away from the existing intake location of Sharavathy HE project. The factors considered while selecting the location of intake include topography, geology and to avoid/minimize land requirement being eco-sensitive zone. Besides above, optimum layout requirements has also considered to suit the alignment of the Water Conductor.

Chapter – 6: Civil Design 3

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

As already mentioned, PSP intake is placed away from Talakalale dam in order to avoid any interference with all the existing structures.

The intake position further takes in consideration the following:

- Intake structure doesn’t affect adverse impact to the upper dam.

- Portal of tunnel is to be in good rock condition and to have enough rock cover for avoidance of landslide of the cut slope, rock fall, etc.

- An inlet is to be vertically arranged for avoidance of adverse impact on sedimentation, vortex and air inflow to waterway.

The PSP Intake is composed of the following structures:

- Inlet with trash rack and anti-vortex louver

- Conduit between the end of inlet and Intake Gate

- Intake Gate Shaft

(1) Inlet

Waterway of a pumped storage power plant is pressure one, so an inlet of a pumped storage power plant also comes to pressure type. Concerning vertical arrangement of an inlet for a pressure conduit, it is generally said that water depth from sill of an inlet to the minimum water level should be 1.5 to 2.0 times as high as internal diameter of the connecting pressure conduit in order to prevent air from flowing into the pressure conduit. Concerning hydraulic design, criteria on hydraulic design for intake of a Pumped Storage Power Station isn’t specified in the Indian Standard even though “Criteria for hydraulic Design of Hydropower Intakes (IS 9761)” specifies criteria for a

conventional hydraulic power station. As mentioned below, an intake of a pumped storage power station has the following characteristics in difference from a conventional hydraulic power station;

- Both an intake and a tailrace outlet are to function as an intake as well as an outlet since directions in generating and pumping modes are exact reverse even though hydraulic feature is quite different between water intake and discharge.

- There is a possibility that vortex easily comes into being for the reason that water depth between a surface to an intake comes to small near the maximum draw-down level.

Chapter – 6: Civil Design 4

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

- It is difficult that water flow discharged from an inlet or outlet evenly diffuses into a reservoir because flow velocity of a pumped storage power station is generally faster than that of a conventional hydraulic power station.

As mentioned above, it is found that hydraulic functions to be required for an intake are different between a pumped storage power station and a conventional hydraulic power station. Therefore, in order to design of an intake and an outlet of a pumped storage power station, the provisions of the above mentioned Indian standard which is specified for only a conventional hydraulic power station, was not applied. The inlet and outlet is designed in accordance with the guideline proposed by Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry in Japan which has been mostly applied to design for intakes and outlets of a lot of pumped storage power station. As a result, the inlet structure is designed and the drawing is provided in drawing no. WAP/Sharavathy-PSP/06 & 07

4. Waterway & Powerhouse

The alignment of the waterway from the intake to the tailrace outlet is studied under the following conditions;

Length of waterway is tried to be shortest.

The portion of water way is aligned in such a way that it is completely kept underground and shortest.

Both intake and tailrace outlet don’t affect upper and lower dams.

There are eight reversible units. There are two u/s surge shafts one each for HRT. Two penstock emanate from each surge shaft. Each penstock is further divided into two lines in the bifurcation. Accordingly 4pressure shafts bifurcate in to eight manifolds to feed the eight units. In the d/s side eight draft tunnels extend from the powerhouse and enter in to d/s surge gallery. Consequently, two tailraces emanate from d/s surge gallery and take water to lower reservoir.

Longitudinal axis of the powerhouse cavern is to be aligned from N45W-S45E to N60W-S60E in accordance with the foliation strike and it is aligned at 350 from the foliation direction.

It goes without saying that the powerhouse cavern is to be positioned with enough rock cover on the powerhouse cavern for stability of the cavern. In this regard, the rock cover on the powerhouse cavern should be more than twice of height of the cavern plus some allowance. The

Pre-Feasibility Report

crown elevation of the powerhouse cavern is at EL.37.5 m and the ground elevation above the powerhouse cavern is almost EL.312 m. Consequently, the rock cover is almost estimated as 274 m, which is almost 5.2 times as high as the height of the powerhouse cavern, so that the powerhouse cavern is deemed to have enough rock cover.

6.2 Water Conductor System

Alignment and profile of the waterway is also one of major elements to be optimized in the selection of optimum general layout, because it governs other layouts of structures such as switchyard, access tunnel etc. therefore, comparative study on location of the waterway is conducted. Then, an optimum profile of the waterway is selected through comparative study among various alternatives. Two nos. concrete lined headrace has been provided. Considering the long length of HRT, each HRT is connected to underground surge tank to take care of the transient in the system. Beyond the surge shafts 2 nos inclined steel lined pressure shafts emanate from the surge shafts. The pressure shafts connects to an underground powerhouse. After the power house a d/s surge gallery has been provided to take care of the transient requirement of the tail race tunnels. Head Race Tunnel (concrete lined) Two number 9 m diameter concrete lined HRT’s emanate from intake at an EL 503.0 m. Initial stretch of 72 m of HRT is horizontal thereafter HRT joins underground surge shaft of diameter 16m and height 52m. Two pressure of dia 5.25m each emanate from each surge shaft. There after a butterfly valve chamber has been provided. Then pressure shafts negotiates an inclined bend of 42˚ and moves upto EL 489.37 m for a inclined length of 668 m. Thereafter the liners run horizontally for a distance of 100 meter upto the proposed location of bifurcation point (For details refer drawing no. WAP/Sharavathy-PSP/06&07). The each liner is bifurcated into two branches of 3.64 m.

The thickness of concrete lining and steel lining has been assessed keeping in view the internal pressure including water hammer and external pressure acting in the event of sudden dewatering of Tunnel.

Diameter as proposed for HRT and penstock is based on the velocity consideration however economic diameter studies may be done at DPR

stage. Plate thickness is being assessed considering both internal water pressure plus increase in head due to water hammer as well as external pressure. Design criteria The hydraulic and structural design of pressure shaft/penstock is based on following criteria:

- Steel liner has been designed to take the entire internal pressure independently without any rock participation

- Steel liner has been capable to withstand maximum external pressure under empty condition

- Penstock has been designed for loading condition at mid span and at the supports where additional stresses are developed.

- Sickle plate for penstock manifold should take care of all unbalanced forces at the point of bifurcation.

Underground Power House & Underground Transformer Hall Eight units of 250 MW capacity reversible Francis Turbine have been proposed to be installed in the power house. The proposed layout includes the following underground openings:

Machine hall cavern Underground Transformer Hall Bus duct Draft tube tunnels Unit tail race tunnels Combined Tail race Tunnel Main Access Tunnel Construction adits Cable Tunnel

6.2.1 Machine Hall Cavern

The machine hall cavern would be 323.8m in length, 22m in width and the overall height of the power house cavity from the lowest excavation of the turbine pit would be 53 m. The generating units would be spaced at 26 m center to center. The entrance to the Machine hall cavern shall be through

Pre-Feasibility Report

Main Access Tunnel (MAT). The auxiliary rooms shall be located at different floors provided on the services bay side of the machine hall cavern. The penstock for each generating unit would enter the power house horizontally making an angle of 90˚ with the power house longitudinal direction and accommodate the main inlet valve in the machine hall. The penstock for each unit will terminate into a distributor feeding the turbine nozzles. The center line of the horizontal penstocks entering the power house cavity would be EI. - 3.5 m in line with nozzles of the turbines. The roof of machine hall cavern has been provided with a circular arch shape with crown rise of 5.50 m from the spring level. The roof and walls of the power house cavern are supported by systematic rock bolting and shotcreting (SFRS). Where the rock mass is of poor quality (‘Q’ value from 1.0 to 2.0), the

roof is supported with the combination of shotcrete (SFRS), rock bolts and steel ribs. Provision of drainage holes in regular way has also been made for roof and walls for draining the rock mass adjoining the cavern. RCC columns of size 1500 mm x 1500 mm are proposed for supporting the EOT crane beam.

6.2.3 Tail Race Tunnel

Layout The water coming out of the draft tube is again fed into the lower reservoir through two Tail Race tunnels. Being a Francis turbine the flow in the unit tail race & manifold d/s of TRT gate is under pressure. The size of tail race tunnel after manifold has been worked in such a way that there will be pressure flow in the entire length of TRT. The bed slope of TRT was fixed in such a way that cross-section be minimum for safe velocity of concrete lined tunnel. The invert level of outlet shall be kept below the MMDL water level of lower reservoir The TRT should maintain pressure-flow condition for all discharges. 10 m Circular-shape concrete lined tunnel has been provided for the purpose. The velocity in the tunnel for design discharge of about 250 cumecs in each tunnel will be m/s. Transient Analysis

Calculation on water hammer is carried out to grasp the hydraulic transient phenomena in cases of shut-off of both power generation and pumping up. Through this calculation, it is verified whether negative pressure doesn’t arise

for avoidance of water column separation. And also, internal pressure for design of steel liner is also obtained.

Conditions for the calculation and conceptual model of the waterway are shown below. In this calculation, lengths of the bifurcated waterway before and after the Powerhouse are assumed as same, namely, it is assumed that the waterway is symmetrical.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project (8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

7.16 Power Evacuation System 7.16.1 Sharavathy PSS Project with an installed generation capacity of 2000 MW envisages 8 units of 250 MW each to be developed nearby (7-8km) the existing Sharavathy hydro project of 1035 MW capacity in Karnataka. The generation from the existing hydro station is presently evacuated at 220 kV level through 220 kV transmission systems and power is injected to the Karnataka grid at 220/400kV Talaguppa sub-station (STU). The proposed Sharavathy PSS project is envisaged to have dual operational characteristics. It will function as Generators in generator mode and also as motors in pumping mode for water pumping. The estimated pumping load (MW), presuming all the hydro units to be operated simultaneously as motors, will be around 2200 MW. In line with the above characteristics, two transmission system alternatives for the proposed PSS project has been identified as given hereunder: 7.16.1.1 Alternative-I: Combination of 400kV and 765 kV systems The generation is proposed to be stepped up from 18kV to 400 kV for evacuation through GTs. Power to be generated at the PSS will be injected to the Talaguppa S/S through 400kV transmission system for further dispersal. In order to meet the power evacuation requirement as well as to supply load at PSS, the following ATS is considered in this alternative.

Generation step-up voltage at 400 kV 400kV Sharavathy PSS – Talaguppa 2xD/C lines with twin HTLS

conductor (about 60km 2xD/C lines). LILO of one circuit of the existing 765kV Narendra- Madhugiri D/C

line at Talaguppa (65 km LILO portion). Upgradation of the existing 220/400kV Talaguppa S/S to 220kV

/400kV/765 kV level with a provision of 2x1500 MVA 400/765kV ICTs

Creation of GIS system at the PSS and Talaguppa S/S. The single line diagram for the ATS (Alt-I) is given below.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

CHAPTER – 10

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

10.1 General

The commissioning of any hydro power project leads to significant impacts onenvironmental resources of the project area and its surroundings. However,by proper planning at the inception stage and incorporating appropriatemigratory measures in the planning, design, construction and operationphases, adverse impacts can be minimized to a large extent, whereasbeneficial impacts can be maximized. The Chapter covers the impacts likelyto accrue as a result during construction and operation phases of theproposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage project located in Shimoga district,Karnataka. A broad framework of Environmental Management Plan foramelioration of adverse impacts on account of various phases ofimplementation of Sharavathy PSP along with the outline of theEnvironmental Monitoring Programme too has also been covered as a part ofthe present Chapter.

10.2 Study Area

The Study Area considered for the Environmental Assessment study shallcomprise of the following:

Area to be acquired for various project appurtenances Submergence area for Upper and Lower reservoirs Area within 10 km periphery of Upper and Lower reservoir sites

on either side of river Sharavathy.

10.3 Environmental Baseline Status

The assessment of pre-project environmental status is essential to determinethe environmental parameters which could be significantly affected due to theproposed Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project. The baseline status has beenassessed mainly based on review of secondary data and site visits. Theexisting project related documents too have been reviewed to assess thebaseline environmental status.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 2

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

10.3.1 Climate

The project area is located in western parts of Shimoga district, which lies inWestern Ghats and Malnad region. The region is mountainous andexperiences tropical climate throughout the year. The relative humidity rangesfrom 27 to 88%, the wind speed recorded is between 4 and 7 km/hr.

In the project area, the summer season is observed from March to early June.April is usually the hottest month of the year with mean daily maximumtemperature at 35.8°C and the minimum temperature at 22°C. The areareceives rainfall from early June to September under the influence of south-western monsoons. The months of October and November receive scantyrainfall due to north east monsoons. The project area district receives anannual average rainfall of 2421 mm. With the onset of the south-westmonsoons in June, there is appreciable drop in the day temperatures. Thearea experiences with winters which commences in mid-November andcontinues upto mid- February.

10.3.2 River System

The River Sharavathy rises at Ambuteertha near Kavaledurga in TeerthahalliTaluk. Its total length in the district is 32.2 km and flows in north-westerlydirection and receives the Haridravati on the right below Pattaguppe andthe Yenne-hole on the left above Barangi. Near the border of the district, itbends to the west and moves towards the Ghats near Jog. The river outfalls insea at Honnavar in Uttara Kannada district.

10.3.3 Geology

The Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project is proposed in between alreadyconstructed dams of Talakalale Lake (Balancing Reservoir/Upper Reservoir)located at south-eastern part and Gerosoppa Reservoir (Lower Reservoir) onSharavathy River at north-western part. As both the upper and lowerreservoirs are already commissioned, only water conductor system andpowerhouse will be required for this project. The water conductor systemincludes two intake channels, two HRTs, Surge Shafts, Pressure Shafts,underground powerhouse and TRTs.

The Sharavathy River shows meandering at the project area and flowstowards NW and thereafter towards west. A number of sub-parallel tributariesjoin Sharavathy River from both the banks. Beside sub-parallel drainagepattern, dendritic drainage pattern is also present at the central part between

the above mentioned upper and lower reservoirs. The sub-parallel drainage iscontrolled by joints. A WNW – ESE trending water divide is present betweenthe above two reservoirs.

Mainly granite gneiss belonging to Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC) andamphibolite represent the major part of project site. However, schistose(Hornblende- actinolite-chlorite schist) rock of Bababudan Group will bepresent at the lower part of TRT and TRT outfall area. At the project site,surface is mainly covered by thick laterite and/or slope wash material withmeager outcrops of granite gneiss/augen gneiss and amphibolites.Bababudan Group is unconformable lies over the Peninsular GneissicComplex. The schistose rock (Hornblende - actinolite-chlorite schist) isappears to be occurred as outlier at the project site.

10.3.4 Seismicity

The project area is located in parts of North Kannada and Shimoga Districts ofwest central part of Karnataka. As per Seismic Zonation Map of India, theproject area lies in Seismic Zone III. A number of faults and lineaments arepresent around the area.

10.3.5 Soils

In the major part of the project area, reddish to brownish clayey loam tolateritic soils are observed. Thin strips of yellowish loamy soil are seen alongthe banks of major river and nallah courses, and thickness varies from fewcentimeters to 3.50 m. The sandy soil is also observed in areas, whereArchaean gneissic complex occurs. It is coarse grained highly porous andpermeable in nature. The rate of water infiltration in this soil type ismuch higher than the clayey loam.

10.3.6 Water Quality

The Energy and Wetlands Research Group of IISc Bangalore has monitoredthe water quality of rain stream out falling Liganamakhi reservoir. The waterquality of river Sharavathy has also been monitored area part of the study.The results of water quality monitoring of river Sharavathy are given Table -10.1

The hardness level ranged from 20 – 25 mg/l, indicating soft nature of water.The calcium and magnesium values from 2 to 4 mg/l and 2.4 to 4.8 mg/l; Thecalcium and magnesium are well below the permissible limit. The low calciumand magnesium are responsible for nature of water. The TDS level rangedfrom 37.9 to 58.1 mg/l, which is well within the permissible limit specified fordrinking purposes (500 mg/l). The concentration of various cations andanions was observed to be well below the permissible limits specified fordrinking water purposes. The low TDS values can be attributed to low cationsand anions as well.

10.3.7 Flora

The Shimoga district has rich and varied flora, the major contributingfactors to this variety being differences in rainfall and topography withinthe district. Evergreen flora covers a narrow belt in the Western Ghats and itgradually merges into the moist deciduous towards the east and south. Thefar-eastern and northern portions are scrubby and comparatively little-wooded. The forests of Shimoga district consists of Evergreen and Semi-Evergreen climax forests and degradation type and deciduous climax forestsand degradation type (Pascal et.al, 1982). The secondary or degraded typecontains secondary moist deciduous forests. The Deciduous climax forestsconsist of moist deciduous type - Lagerstoemia microcarpa-Tectona grandis-Dillenia pentagyne type and dry deciduous-Anogeissus latifolia –Tectonagrandis-Terminalia tomentosa type. As per the revised classification offorest types of India by Champion and Seth (1968), the following foresttypes are observed in Shimoga district.

Settlements within F auna of Sharavathi Wildlife Sanctuary

About 24 small villages comprising of 1 to 10 houses in each village are alsoobserved in the sanctuary area. These villages are situated in valleys whereperennial water source and deep soil is available. None of the settlements arethickly populated. The people move inside the sanctuary as they aredependent upon the sanctuary for meeting their fuel, fodder, small timber andother inevitable forest produces required for normal living.

Water Sour ces

During 1964-65, Liganamakhi dam was constructed across Sharavathy riverwhich led to submergence of various villages and forest areas. The peopleaffected by this hydro-electric project were shifted from the project area andwere allowed to settle in various other places. After the submergence offorest area, many big and small have been created.

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Sharavathy River and the reservoir constructed near Liganamakhi, is themain source of water in the sanctuary. Also, there are many tributaries whichare perennial. Yennehole, a small perennial river passes through Karani SFand Sarala hole passes through Govardhanagiri SF. These rivers serve aswater source during summer season of western and eastern side of thesanctuary. A number of check dams and tanks have been constructed,which store water and serve as a source of water during summer. Anumber of ponds, small tanks, check dams have been constructed to providewater during summer months for the wildlife. The water spread area in thesanctuary is 123.63 km2.

The area receives an average rainfall of about 4500 mm annually, howeversome of the nalas and small tanks dry up as early as in February exceptsome perennial ones. About 85% of the precipitation is lost as run-off due toinadequate soil and water conservation measures and owing to steepterrains. Due to steep slopes and heavy rainfall, the top soil is washed awayresulting in soil erosion and loss of fertility. Hence effective soil and watermanagement practice are absolutely necessary.

10.4 Prediction of Impacts

Prediction is essentially a process to forecast the future environmentalconditions of the project area that might be expected to occur because of theimplementation of the project. Based on the project details and the baselineenvironmental status, potential impacts as a result of the construction andoperation of the proposed project have been identified.

The impacts on various aspects of environment are briefly described in thefollowing sections.

10.4.1 Impacts on Land Environment

a) Construction Phase

Environmental degradation due to immigration of labour population

The number of maximum personnel requirement for the employer andcontractor has been estimated to be of the order of 500 and 100 respectively.Thus, the peak aggregation of labour and technical staff including theirfamilies will be 1500. The immigration of labour population during constructionphase will also induce secondary migration in the area to cater to the various

requirements of the project construction staff. These will include persons tomanage shops of various types, transportation, workshops, etc.

Separate accommodation and related facilities for workers, service providersand technical staff are to be provided as a part of the project. Thecongregation of labour force is likely to create problems of sewage disposal,solid waste management and felling of trees for meeting fuel requirements,etc.

Operation of construction equipment

During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to thesite. These include crushers, batching plant, drillers, earth movers, etc. Thesiting of these construction equipment would require significant amount ofspace. In addition, land will be required for storage of various constructionmaterial as well. However, land for this purpose will be temporarily acquired,i.e. for the duration of project construction phase.

Soil erosion

The runoff from various construction sites, will have a natural tendency to flowtowards along with the natural drainage. Thus, the disposal of drainageeffluent with such high turbidity levels is bound to affect the water quality,especially in the lean season. The drains/nallahs close to various constructionsites are seasonal in nature. Normally in such rivers biological productivity isnot high. Hence, the increase in turbidity levels are not expected to besignificant in nature.

b) Operation Phase

Acquisition of land

The total land to be acquired for the project is 153 ha. Based on theownership status of land to be acquired for the project, appropriatecompensatory measures shall be implemented. The ownership status of landto be acquired for Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project is given in Table-10.7.

As a part of CEIA study, detailed studies to assess the ownership status of theland to be acquired for various project appurtenances shall be conducted.Suitable compensatory measures as per the ownership status of the land to beacquired for the project shall be formulated.

10.4.2 Impacts on Water Environment

a) Construction phase

i) Sewage from labour camps

The project construction is likely to last for a period of 4 years and 3 months(51 months). The peak labour strength likely to be employed during projectconstruction phase is about 500 workers and 100 technical staff. Based onexperience of similar projects, the increase in the population as a result ofmigration of labour population during construction phase is expected to be ofthe order of 1500.

The construction phase, also leads to mushrooming of various allied activitiesto meet the demands of the immigrant labour population in the project area.The domestic water requirement has been estimated as 70 lpcd. Thus, totalwater requirements work out to 0.11 mld. It is assumed that about 80% of thewater supplied will be generated as sewage. Thus, total quantum of sewagegenerated is expected to be of the order of 0.08 mld. The BOD loadcontributed by domestic sources will be about 68 kg/day. It is recommendedto commission units for treatment of sewage generated from labour campsprior to disposal.

ii) Effluent from crushers

During construction phase, at least one crusher will be commissioned at siteby the contractor involved in construction activities. It is proposed onlycrushed material would be brought at construction site are likely. Water is

Pre-Feasibility Report

required to wash the boulders and to lower the temperature of the crushingedge. About 0.1 m3 of water is required per ton of material crushed. Theeffluent from the crusher would contain high suspended solids. It is proposedto treat the effluent from crushers in settling tank prior to disposal, so as toameliorate even the marginal impacts likely to accrue on this account.

b) Operation phase

During project operation phase, due to absence of any large-scaleconstruction activity, the cause and source of water pollution will be muchdifferent. Since, only a small number of O&M staff will reside in the area in awell-designed colony with sewage treatment plant and other infrastructurefacilities, problems of water pollution due to disposal of sewage are notanticipated.

In the operation phase, about 50 families (total population of 250) will beresiding in the project colony. About 0.04 mld of sewage will be generated.The total BOD loading will be order of 11 kg/day. It shall be ensured thatsewage from the project colony be treated in a sewage treatment plant so asto meet the disposal standards for effluent. Thus, no impacts are anticipatedas a result of disposal of effluents from the project colony.

10.4.3 Impacts on Air Environment

In a water resources project, air pollution occurs mainly during projectconstruction phase. The major sources of air pollution during constructionphase are:

Pollution due to fuel combustion in various equipment Emission from various crushers Dust emission from muck disposal

Pollution due to fuel combustion in various equipment

The operation of various construction equipment requires combustion of fuel.Normally, diesel is used in such equipment. The major pollutant which getsemitted as a result of combustion of diesel is SO2. The SPM emissions areminimal due to low ash content in diesel. The short-term increase in SO2,even assuming that all the equipment are operating at a common point, isquite low, i.e. of the order of less than 1g/m3. Hence, no major impact isanticipated on this account on ambient air quality.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 19

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Emissions from crushers

The operation of the crusher during the construction phase is likely togenerate fugitive emissions, which can move even up to 1 km in predominantwind direction. During construction phase, one crusher each is likely to becommissioned near proposed dam and proposed power house sites. Duringcrushing operations, fugitive emissions comprising mainly the suspendedparticulate will be generated. Since, there are no major settlements close toproposed project site, hence, no major adverse impacts on this account areanticipated. However, during layout design, care should be taken to ensurethat the labour camps, colonies, etc. are located on the leeward side andoutside the impact zone (say about 2 km on the wind direction) of thecrushers.

Dust emission from muck disposal

The loading and unloading of muck is one of the source of dust generation.Since, muck will be mainly in form of small rock pieces, stone, etc., with verylittle dust particles. Significant amount of dust is not expected to be generatedon this account. Thus, adverse impacts due to dust generation during muckdisposal are not expected.

10.4.4 Impacts on Noise Environment

a) Constr uction phase

In a water resource projects, the impacts on ambient noise levels areexpected only during the project construction phase, due to earth movingmachinery, etc. Likewise, noise due to quarrying, blasting, vehicularmovement will have some adverse impacts on the ambient noise levels in thearea.

i) Impacts due to operation of construction equipment

The noise level due to operation of various construction equipment is given inTable-10.8.

Under the worst-case scenario, considered for prediction of noise levelsduring construction phase, it has been assumed that all these equipmentgenerate noise from a common point. The increase in noise levels due tooperation of various construction equipment is given in Table-10.9.

It would be worthwhile to mention here that in absence of the data on actuallocation of various construction equipment, all the equipment have beenassumed to operate at a common point. This assumption leads to over-estimation of the increase in noise levels. Also, it is a known fact that there isa reduction in noise level as the sound wave passes through a barrier. Thetransmission loss values for common construction materials are given inTable-10.10.

Thus, no increase in noise levels is anticipated as a result of various activities,during the project construction phase.

Impacts on labour

The effect of high noise levels on the operating personnel, has to beconsidered as this may be particularly harmful. It is known that continuousexposures to high noise levels above 90 dB (A) affects the hearing acuity ofthe workers/operators and hence, should be avoided. To prevent theseeffects, it has been recommended by Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) that the exposure period of affected persons be limitedas per the maximum exposure period specified in Table-10.11.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 22

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

a) Construction phase

The major impacts anticipated on land environment during construction are asfollows:

Operation of construction equipment Quarrying operations Muck disposal Acquisition of land

i) Operation of construction equipment

During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to thesite. These include crushers, batching plant, drillers, earthmovers, rockbolters, etc. The siting of this construction equipment would require significantamount of space. Similarly, space will be required for storing of various otherconstruction equipment. In addition, land will also be temporarily acquired, i.e.for the duration of project construction for storage of quarried material beforecrushing, crushed material, cement, rubble, etc. The contractor’s facilities andstorage sites for construction material shall be located outside SharavathyWildlife Sanctuary.

Various criteria for selection of these sites would be:

Proximity to the site of use Sensitivity of forests in the nearby areas Proximity from habitations Proximity to drinking water source

Efforts must be made to site the contractor’s working space in such a way thatthe adverse impacts on environment are minimal, i.e. to locate theconstruction equipment, so that impacts on human and faunal population isminimal.

i) Quarrying operations

The quantum of coarse aggregate requirement is 4,10,000 m3, of which3,28,000 m3 (80%) would be taken from the muck generated from the project.The remaining 20% (82,000 m3), construction material would be extractedfrom Mastihalla Stone quarry, which was also used from construction ofGerusoppa reservoir.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 23

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

The construction material requirement for the proposed project is summarizedin Table-10.12.

Table-10.12: Construction Material Requirement for Sharavathy Pumped StorageProject

S. No. Material Quantity (m 3)1. Concrete

(a) Coarse aggregate(b) Fine aggregate

290,800240,00012,900

2. Fill Material (Coffer dam) 50,0003. Cut & cover Earth fill 380,000

A permanent scar is likely to be left, once quarrying activities are over. Withthe passage of time, rock from the exposed face of the quarry under theaction of wind and other erosional forces, get slowly weathered and aftersome time, they become a potential source of landslide. Thus it is necessaryto implement appropriate slope stabilization measures to prevent thepossibility of soil erosion and landslides in the quarry sites.

ii) Muck disposal

Muck generation and disposal could lead to various adverse impacts. Themuck needs to be disposed at designated sites. This could lead to followingimpacts:

loss of land problems regarding stability of spoil dumps access to spoil dump areas

A part of the muck can be used for the following purposes:

Use of suitable rock from the excavation as aggregate in the mixing ofconcrete.

Use of muck for maintenance of roads. Use as backfill material in quarry and borrow pits.

The quantum of muck generation is 19.31 lakh m3, which 6.31 lakh m3 wouldbe generated through open excavation and 13.0 lakh m3 shall be generatedthrough underground excavation.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 24

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

The quantum of aggregate requirement in 410,0000 m3 of which 80% will begenerated from muck generated due to the project. Thus, quantum of muck tobe disposal considering swelling factor as 40% is [1.4 (1300258 – 0.8x410,000) 14.49 lakh m3. The area required for muck disposal (considering 12 mdumping height) is 12.08 ha.

Amount 6.31 lakh m3 of soil will be generated due to construction of HRT ofwhich about 3.80 lakh m3 will be utilized as cover material. Considering theswelling factor as 25% and dumping height as 12 m, area required fordisposal of soil will be 2.62 ha. Thus, total area required for muck disposal willbe (12.08 + 2.62) 14.70 ha. The muck will be disposed in already excavatedMastihalla Quarry, which was used for construction of Gerusoppa reservoir.

10.4.6 Impacts on Biological Environment

a) Construction phase

10.4.6.1 Impacts on Terrestrial Flora

Impacts due to Vehicular movement and blasting

Dust is expected to be generated during blasting, vehicle movement fortransportation of construction material or construction waste. The dustparticles shall settle on the foliage of trees and plants, thereby reduction inamount of sunlight falling on tree foliage. This will reduce the photosyntheticactivity. Based on experience in similar settings, the impact is expected to belocalized upto a maximum of 50 to 100 m from the source. In addition, thearea experiences rainfall for almost 6 to 7 months in a year. Thus, minimaldeposition of dust is expected on flora. Thus, no significant impact is expectedon this account.

Acquisition of forest land

During project construction phase, land will be required for location of muckdisposal quarrying centralization facilities widening of existing roads andconstruction of new project roads. The total land requirement for the project is153 ha, a part of which could be forest land.

10.4.6.2 Impacts on Terrestrial fauna

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 25

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

a) Construction phase

Disturbance to wildlife

During the construction period, machinery and construction workers aremobilized, which can disturbed the wildlife population in the vicinity of projectarea. The length of conductor system is 7.8 km. No land of SharavathyWildlife Sanctuary is to be acquired. The water conductor system shallcommence from the tip of Talakalale Reservoir (Upper Reservoir), which isabout 3.4 km from the boundary of Sharavathy Wildlife Sanctuary. Thedistance of start of water conductor system from tip of Talakalale Reservoir(Upper Reservoir) with respect to Sharavathy Wildlife Sanctuary is depicted inFigure-10.2.

FIGURE-10.2

During construction phase, accessibility to area will lead to influx of workersand the people associated with the allied activities from outside will alsoincrease. The other major impact could be the blasting to be carried outduring construction phase, This impact needs to be mitigated by adoptingcontrolled blasting and strict surveillance regime and the same is proposed to

be used in the project. This will reduce the noise level and vibrations due toblasting to a great extent.

Siting of construction equipment, godowns, stores, labour camps, etc. maygenerally disturb the fauna in the area. The project site is located about 3.4km from Sharavathy Wildlife Sanctuary. To minimize any adverse inputs dueto poaching activities from immigrant labour population, strict anti-poachingsurveillance measures need to be implemented, especially during projectconstruction phase. The same shall be covered in detail as a part of theEnvironmental Management Plan (EMP).

b) Operation phase

Both Upper (Talakalale) Reservoir and Lower (Gerusoppa) Reservoir arealready constructed and under operation. Only water conductor system toconvey water from Upper Reservoir to power house and from power house toLower Reservoir and back to Upper Reservoir will be commissioned. Theentire water conductor system and power house to be constructed shall beunderground. Thus, during operation phase, no adverse impacts on terrestrialecology is anticipated.

10.4.7 Aquatic Flora

a) Construction phase

During construction phase wastewater mostly from domestic source will bedischarged mostly from various camps of workers actively engaged in theproject area. The sewage generated from labour camps will be treated in aSewage Treatment Plant (STP) prior to disposal.

c) Operation phase

Sharavathy Pumped Structure project is not expected to result in significantchanges in the riverine ecology, as both the upper and lower reservoirs arealready constructed and are under operation. The water from upper Reservoiris conveyed through water conductor system to power house of existing 1055MW existing Sharavathy hydroelectric project. The Lower reservoir is used togenerate power from 240 MW Gerusoppa HEP. The proposed project wouldabstract 500 cumec of water from existing Talakalale Reservoir (UpperReservoir) power generation, which will be returned back to TalakalaleReservoir (Upper Reservoir) through an underground water conductor system.

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 27

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

Thus, no adverse impacts on existing riverine ecology is expected due to theproposed pumped storage project.

10.4.8 Impacts on Socio -Economic Environment

This proposed project is likely to entail both positive as well as negativeimpacts on the socio-cultural aspects of the area. During construction andoperation phases, significant allied activities will mushroom in the projectarea.

(i) Impacts due to influx of labour force

During the construction phase a large labour force, including skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labour force of the order of about 1500 persons, isexpected to immigrate into the project area. It is felt that most of the labourforce would come from other parts of the country. However, some of thelocals would also be employed to work in the project. The labour force wouldstay near to the project construction sites.

The project will also lead to certain negative impacts. The most importantnegative impact would be during the construction phase. The labour force thatwould work in the construction site would settle around the site. They wouldtemporarily reside there. This may lead to solid waste generation, sewagegeneration, etc. which can lead to harmful impacts if proper mitigatorymeasures are not undertaken.

The employment opportunities in the area are limited. Thus, during projectconstruction phase, some of the locals may get employment. It has beenobserved during construction phase of many of the projects; the major worksare contracted out, who bring their own skilled labour. However, it is only inthe unskilled category, that locals get employment.

iii) Economic impacts of the project

Apart from direct employment, the opportunities for indirect employment willalso be generated which would provide great impetus to the economy of thelocal area. Various types of business like shops, food-stall, tea stalls, etc.besides a variety of suppliers, traders, transporters will concentrate here andbenefit immensely as demand will increase significantly for almost all types ofgoods and services. The business community as a whole will be benefited.The locals will avail these opportunities arising from the project and increasetheir income levels. With the increase in income levels, there will be animprovement in the infrastructure facilities in the area.

Pre-Feasibility Report

iv) Impacts due to land acquisition

The key impact during construction phase will be that, pertaining to landacquisition. About 153 ha of land is proposed to be acquired for the proposedSharavathy Pumped Storage project. Based on the present level ofinvestigations, ownership status of land to be acquired for the project is notknown.

As a part of CEIA study, the quantum of private and forest land to be acquiredneeds to be identified. Based on the ownership status, appropriate,compensatory measures, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan will beformulated.

10.5 Environmental Management Plan

Based on the environmental baseline conditions and project inputs, theadverse impacts will be identified and a set of measures will be suggested asa part of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for their amelioration. Anoutline of various measures suggested as a part of EnvironmentalManagement Plan is briefly described in the following sections.`10.5.1 Envir onmental Measures For Labour Camps

10.5.1.1 Facilities in labour camps

It is recommended that project authorities can compulsorily ask the contractorto make semi-permanent structures for their workers. These structures couldbe tin sheds. These sheds can have internal compartments allotted to eachworker family. The sheds will have electricity and ventilation system, watersupply and community latrines.

The water for meeting domestic requirements may be collected from the riversor streams flowing upstream of the labour camps.

10.5.1.2 Sanitation facilities

Chapter – 10: Environmental Aspects 29

Sharavathy Pumped Storage Project(8 x 250 MW)

Pre-Feasibility Report

One community toilet can be provided per 20 persons. The sewage from thecommunity latrines can be treated in a sewage treatment plant beforedisposal.

10.5.1.3 Solid waste management from labour camps

For solid waste collection, suitable number of masonry storage vats, each of 2m3 capacity should be constructed at appropriate locations in various labourcamps. These vats should be emptied at regular intervals and shall bedisposed at identified landfill sites. Suitable solid waste collection and disposalarrangement shall be provided. A suitable landfill site should be identified anddesigned to contain municipal waste from various Project Township, labourcolonies, etc. The landfill site shall be finalized

10.5.1.4 Provision o f free fuel

During the construction period of the project, there would be around 600labour and technical staff would be involved in the project construction work.Many families may prefer cooking on their own instead of using communitykitchen. In the absence of fuel for cooking, they would resort to tree cuttingand using wood as fuel. To avoid such a situation, the project authority shallmake LPG and or kerosene available to the labour population involved inconstruction activities. The supply of LPG and kerosene can be ensured onregular basis. A local depot can be established through LPG/ kerosenesuppliers for supply of the same.

10.5.2 Muck Disposal

A part of the muck generated, is proposed to be utilized for construction worksafter crushing it into the coarse and fine aggregates. The balance quantum ofmuck would have to be disposed. The muck shall be disposed in Mastihallaquarry, which was used for construction of Liganamakhi reservoir. The siteshall then be stabilized by implementing bioengineering treatment measures.Muck disposal is done after creating terraces thus usable terraces aredeveloped. The overall idea is to enhance/maintain aesthetic view in thesurrounding area of the project in post-construction period and avoidcontamination of any land or water resource due to muck disposal.

Suitable retaining walls shall be constructed to develop terraces so as tosupport the muck on vertical slope and for optimum space utilization. Loosemuck would be compacted layer wise. The muck disposal area will bedeveloped in a series of terraces of boulder crate wall and masonry wall to

11.2.1 Rock Samples

It can be seen from the Table 11.1 that the quantity of materials available from all open excavations and underground excavations is about 1.93 Mm3 whereas the required quantity of coarse and fine aggregate is about 0.34 Mm3. However, these materials need to be tested for their suitability for use in concrete.

In addition, during the construction of Gerusoppa dam material from Mastihalla rock quarry (on the right bank of the Sharavathy River) which is about 7 km from the dam site has been utilized. Exposed granite rock suitable for coarse aggregate for use in concrete is available from this quarry. Also, the rock in large quantity can be obtained from Nidgodu rock quarry near Siddapur, 56 km from the dam site. The granite rock from this quarry can be used for both rockfill as well as coarse

aggregate in concrete. It may be mentioned that the rock from this quarry has been used in the construction of the Liganamakhi dam during 1960’s.

11.2.2 Sand Samples

Sand suitable for use as fine aggregate in concrete works, in sufficient quantity is found to be available considering the replenishment every year at Idguriji on the right bank of Sharavathy River, 27 km from dam site.

11.3 Laboratory Investigation and Discussion of Tests Results

11.3.1 Rock Samples

The tests results on rock samples from Mastihalla and Nidgodu quarries have been presented in the DPR of Sharavathy Project at page 297 (Annexure 20 (a)). Tests were conducted on rock samples from Mastihalla and Nidgodu – Mandikoppa rock quarries for the following.

i. Compressive Strength – Saturated ii. Specific Gravity (Apparatus) iii. Water Absorption iv. Weathering and v. Young’s Modulus

The rock samples from Nidgodu - Mandikoppa quarry developed compressive strength ranging from 1622 to 1867 Kg/cm2 where rock samples from Mastihalla quarry developed compressive strength from 1905 to 2813 Kg/cm2 i.e. possessing high compressive strength. In the weathering test, the stone samples did not develop any cracks or disintegrate.

It is stated that the above tests conducted on rock samples are inadequate for assessing their suitability use in concrete. Therefore, the undermentioned laboratory tests on rock samples collected from open excavation or muck material from tunnels etc. have to be carried out as per IS: 2386 (Respective Sections) at the DPR stage.

Petrographic Examination

If we intend to use rock from Mastihalla or Nidgodu quarries, the above tests may also conducted on rock samples from these quarries at the DPR stage so as to assess their suitability for use as coarse aggregate in concrete.

11.3.2 Sand Samples

The laboratory tests on the sand samples collected from Idgunji have been conducted both at KERS and in the corporation laboratories. The results of tests are presented in the DPR of Sharavathy Project at page 298 vide Annexure 20 (b). In all, 20 sand samples, 5 samples from Jalavalli and 6 samples from Keri Kurve indicate that these samples fall under grading zone II which are suitable for use as fine aggregate in concrete. The grading of rest of 9 sand samples from Keri Kurve were not reported. The Finness Modulus, silt & clay content and SG of all 20 sand samples tested fall under acceptable limits. The organic impurities also fall under acceptable limits for all the tested sand samples except for 4 sand samples from Keri Kurve source which are not permissible. However, if it is intended to use sand from there sources or crushed sand is required to be used as fine aggregate, it is suggested to conduct the following laboratory tests on sand at the DPR stage for assessing their suitability as fine aggregate for use in concrete.

Gradation and Finness Modulus Specific Gravity Silt and Clay content Organic Impurities Soundness loss, 5 cycles in Na2So4 solution Alkali – Aggregate reactivity (Accelerated Mortar bar test) Petrographic Examination

11.3.3 Water Samples

Samples of water from the Sharavathy River were collected and tested for their suitability for use in construction purposes. Water has been tested for both silt and salt content. Based on these results, it is found that water is suitable for construction purposes and is not likely to cause any corrosion of the turbine runners etc. The results of these tests are presented in DPR of Sharavathy Project under Annexure 20 (d) at page 312. However, at the DPR stage, the undermentioned tests may be conducted on water samples for assessing their suitability for construction purposes during Pre-monsoon period, Mansoon period and Post-monsoon period.
