SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
Himachal Pradesh Government has taken up an ambitious road development plan for the over all economicdevelopment of the State. In this context, GOI has approached World Bank for loan assistance to support the project.After all studies including the a strategic Option Study, Feasibility study and detailed engineering the World Bank hasin principle agreed to support the project provided all WB loan conditional ties are met by the State government andthe National Government. The final approval of the loan is expected to take place in the early part of the 2007.
The SOS studies were confined to the restricted carriageway width, and /or pavement conditions which result incapacity constraints for the high volumes of traffic carried by the roads, and also the connectivity of the roads. Alocation map of the project road is provided in the Figure 1.1. Following the feasibility studies in 2005, the feasibilityand detailed engineering studies up during the early part of 2006 and are to be completed by the March- April 2007.Due to the special conditions, population distribution and other location related constraints, GOHP has identified413km of project roads well in advance to meet the requirement of the State to implement the project in a phasedmanner. The document in hand is the EMP for the contract of 80 km of the Batch 1 roads out of the 413 km of phase 1roads identified earlier. All studies including feasibility studies, detailed engineering studies, environmental and socialimpact management studies have been completed. This document represents the Environmental Management Plan(EMP) prepared for the Contract No 5 with the Contract identification no: HPSRPIWB/UG/5/ICB, to be implemented bythe Contractor in association with the PWD and the appointed supervision consultant's for the smooth and effectiveimplementation of the project. The appointment of the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) will be according tothe ICB contract implementation requirements and the country laws and the WB policies and guide lines.

* This document relates to this project road
As described earlier this Environmental Management Plan (EMP) relates to the Theog-Kothkhai-Hatkoti-Rohru project
road. This road has a total length of 80.684 kms.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ROAD- THEOG- KOTKHAI-ROHRU 80.684 KMS
The project road starts from Theog town with 0.000 chainage and ends at 80.684 km just at the beginning of Rohru
town. This road traverses through Shimla district only. This State Highway (SH-28) is the only link and access to apple
orchard farms of the area, most of the economic activity and income of the local residents depends on this State
highway. The road passes through hilly terrain with steep grade and acute, blind and sharp turns at most of the places.
Part of this road is a predominant snowfall area. During winters, this road becomes inaccessible. Most of the
settlements / villages/town are connected through link road to the project road. This is the only connectivity to the
Dodra -Kwar hard difficult and tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh. The road traverses through four important townships
viz. Theog, Kotkhai, Jubbal and Rohru. The archaeologically significant structures at Hatkoti matha temple and few
other temples were also located in the near by areas towards Rohru.
There are 16 settlements along the corridor viz. Chella, Baghain, Gumma, Kokunala, Domehar, Badbi, Patti Dhank,
Khada Pather, Praunthi Shilli, Sirthi, Jai Pindi Mata, Guntu, Dochi, Badhal and Nalu. The land use along this corridor is
mostly forest, apple orchards and agriculture. There are some barren and grassland areas near Theog and Rohru.
This section passes through legally defined eco-sensitive areas such as reserved forests (RF). The land requirement
for widening is minimal due to the implementation of a State funded project under Central Road Fund (CRF) scheme.
Therefore this project requires environmental clearance (EC) form the Ministry of environment and Forest (MOEF),
Government of India.
Since the widening activity under CRF scheme is an ongoing project and is still continuing, details of the clearances
obtained for the widening has been sought from the PWD. This information shall be handed over to the ConstructionSupervision consultants up on mobilisation. This can avoid any conflict of interest under the clearances requirementfrom various agencies. In the prevailing circumstances, already there is a popular belief that the project widening is
being taking place under World Bank scheme. Therefore it is necessary to document all details prior to any further
stake holder consultation.
1.2 FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND ALTERNATIVES
1.2.1 FEASIBILITY STUDIES
The feasibility study has been carried out for the road network of 1675km of roads (43 road links) identified/suggested
by the earlier Strategic Option studies (SOS). The feasibility study has come out with a list of high priority roads based
on the engineering and economic aspects prepared using the HDM model. The Economic Internal Rate of Return
(EIRR) has been calculated using the model for each of the project roads. EIRR computed for the Theog -Rohru
project road is 33 % and NPV cost is INR 4449 million. The roads, which have a rate of return 12 % and above have
been considered, qualified for the up-gradation. The EIRR does not include a comprehensive environmental and socialscreening and scoping analysis. Therefore prioritization based on these issues has been carried out by theenvironmental and social screening and scoping studies as a part of the feasibility studies. Specific details areprovided in the table 2 1 baseline details of the project corridor

1.2.2 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
As far as the contract package is concerned the widening options were very limited as the entire corridor pass throughmountain systems surrounded by forest reserves in most of the Project influenced areas. Widening towards valley sideis almost impossible except the alternative option of having expensive viaducts. Because of the same reason, theviaducts initially considered in the project were later dropped from further consideration.
The project improvement alternatives are as follows

The economic return for the finally accepted option of Alternative B is 33 % with Net present value INR 4449 million.
1.3 DESIGN PROPOSALS
1.3.1 ROAD CROSS SECTIONS
The full description of the design is given in the final design report. All cross sections finally considered for the projectis provided below in Figure 1.2 to 1.13.
1.3.1.1 Proposed Cross Section Schedule
Subsequent to the completion of the alignment design the cross sections were firmed up. In total about 13 crosssections were formulated, while formulating these cross sections the various variants that would represent theperspectives of existing pavement width, land use, geography and geology of along the project road was kept in mind.Details of use of various cross section along the project road are furnished in cross section schedule in DrawingVolume of Road Drawings, The table 1.5 depicts the distribution of various cross sections that were firmed up as partof the detailed design; this cross section will have to be reviewed during the execution and necessary adjustments willbe carried as necessary.

1.3.1.2 Realignment Locations:
Generally the realignments were carried out wherever it is imperative that the geometric improvement would not resultin any loss of property or the approaches to the new bridges. Initially the consultants were proposed about 8 locationsout of which only 7 locations were retained keeping in view of constraints mentioned above. The final realignmentsamount for a length of 1.31km. The following are the locations where the alignment was deviated from the existingroad:

1.3.1.3 Retaining Wall Locations:
Based on the designed alignment and on the basis of the topographic surveys results, with the location where thenormal fill slopes can not be used due to the topographic conditions, consultants have adopted the retaining wall.Normally the Stone Masonry with Plum concrete was used for the retaining wall is being practiced in the State, theconsultants have initially suggested the stone masonry, and upon the request of the client the consultants have usedthe Stone masonry with plum concrete. Detailed schedule of the retaining wall which is established from thesuperimposition of existing cross sections with Design cross sections is provided in drawing volume.

1.3.1.4 Road Side Drainage
The road side drainage is ensured by three forms, these are decided keeping in view of the land use along thecorridors, economical aspects for the over all project cost, the three types of drain that was used was as follows:
Trapezoidal Drain: This drain section is used in plain and or flat areas where the embankment heights are shallow; thisdrain is normally unlined and would require regular maintenance by means of cleaning regularly.
V-Shaped Drain: This drain is provided normally in the cut slopes located in hilly and rolling terrain, this drain is of linedin nature. Predominant lengths in Hilly areas are provided with this type drain.
Covered Drain: the locations which are highly built up and it is anticipated with pedestrian movement the covered drainwith side walk was proposed. In the locations where the drains out lets are not available the covered footpath with sidewalk is proposed. In total 15 locations along the 121 km long road was provided with cover drain of 13.59 km,depending on the location and the requirement it is provided on one side or both side of the cross section.

1.3.1.5 Rain Shelter & Bus Bay:
Based on the details of the existing bus shelter and the consultations carried out by both social and environmentalteam's consultants have prepared detailed schedule for the rain shelter & bus bay. An attempt was made to providethe bus shelter on either side, of the centre line so that weaving of the vehicles using the bus shelter would notimpinge on the free and safe movement of the traffic. However due to restriction in site condition either due to heavilybuilt-up or topography, there are instances where this facility is provided only on one side. It may happen at locationsthere may not be enough space to build the Rain Shelter due to available width and the permanent structures in suchcase only bus bay is provided. A detailed schedule is provided in the drawing volume. The brief summary of the facilityis as under;

1.3.1.6 Major Intersections:
Consultants have identified the major intersections along the project road section, in order to asses the requirementsfor type of improvement, turning movement surveys were carried at important junction locations. From the analysis ofthe turning movement survey none of the junctions would require grade separation nor traffic signals for the controllingof the traffic. However consultants have developed the layout for all the major intersections in accordance with the IRCguidelines. There are 8 major intersections out of which the first one is with National Highway No 22 leading toRampur, remaining are with State and District Roads. The details of Major intersections along the project road are asgiven under, the lay out plans for each of them are provided in Drawing Volume.

1.3.2 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PROJECT ROAD
Less than 10% of the State roads are double-laned, only 50% of the road length has drainage and valley side safetymeasures. Depending on the present condition of the selected roads, different levels of improvement upgradationmeasures will be required for different road stretches. The improvement works will mainly consist of
* Cutting of hill ward side for widening* Raising the formation level where ever required* Upgrading/ improving road geometrics* Widening to two-lane/ intermediate lane from existing intermediate-lane/ single-lane widths* Pavement strengthening, and* Improving cross drainage* Stabilization of the hill slope as far as possible by breast walls, retaining walls and or bio engineering
techniques* Road stretches crossing urban areas may also require alternative new alignments or realignments, or
provision for drains, sidewalks and parking along existing road.* Construction of bridges and their approach roads* River training works* Pedestrian Guard rails and safety barriers* Replacement of culverts and construction of new culverts:a The replacement/ rehabilitating of culverts will accommodate two full lanes for the full formation width.* Bypass.. Realignments* Construction of viaducts
A total of 1.31kms of realignments have been considered in the project (Table 1.6) to improve safety. Including this1.31 kms of realignment there are 129 locations (Appendix- 22) where in the project road widening has shifted to eitherRight hand side or Left hand side leaving oxbow land (left over land portions) in all these locations Severalenvironmental enhancement proposals have been recommended at these locations.

Vehicle parking areas may be provided wherever there is a space available away from junctions and pedestriancrossings. Wherever possible, the provisions of bus lay-bys have been included in the design.
* Implementation of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)
This is prepared as a separately bound volume. The RAP has elaborate implementation arrangements including theservices of NGOs.
1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Environmental and social screening Reports (ESR) has confirmed the environmental sensitivity more specificallyecological sensitivity of the project road under consideration. The study has established the boundaries of the furtherstudies required (scoping) based on the proximity to ecologically sensitive and environmental sensitive areas.Accordingly Theog Rohru project roads considered in this report (Vol 2 -EMP) and a separately bound Vol 1 EA (EIA =EA+EMP, where EA and EMP are separate volumes) for widening and up-gradation requires GOI environmentalclearance. The Project has to obtain State level clearance from the State Pollution Control Board (PCB). Because ofthe World Bank's categorizations as Category A projects, EIA is also required to meet the WBs safe guard policies.
1.5 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The project aims to achieve high standard with required cost effectiveness, coupled with necessary environmentalmanagement standards for achieving sustainable development in the State. Therefore the objectives of the project canbe stated as to alleviate the current unsafe and congested conditions of the project roads connecting the villages andtowns with one another and to the NH network for the benefit of the road users at large. To achieve the environmentalmanagement standards, contract wise EMPs are being prepared for sub projects. Theog -Rohru project road having alength of 80.684kms has been taken as a single Contract package for International Competitive Bidding. This hasbeen prepared and incorporated in the bidding/contract documents. The EMP has been prepared as per therequirements of World Bank OP 4.01- Annex C. The entire project with all the sub projects is categorized as CategoryA by the World Bank, where as the sub projects has been individually classified as Category A and category B by theGOls latest gazette notification of September 14 this year (2006).
1.5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AND ENHANCEMENT MEASURES
Mitigation measures have been devised in such a way that the Contractor would be able to locate the location andchainage of the mitigation measures accurately. All studies relating to the project has finally come out with animplementable environmental mitigation & enhancement plans. This plan has been recommended for feasible andcost-effective measures to avoid, prevent or reduce significant negative impacts to acceptable levels. Apart frommitigation of the potential adverse impacts on the environmental components, the EMP identified opportunities thatexist for the enhancement of the environmental quality along the corridor. This also includes the enhancement ofspecific enhancement of cultural properties along the corridor, some road user facilities such as bus lay bys andwaiting sheds(part of civil work) and parking areas. EMP included management and redevelopment of destabilisedslopes especially by including a pilot slope stabilisation initiative viz., bio engineering. In order to implement theEnvironmental management plan Contractor need to prepare specific plans for the following;
* Debris (Muck) disposal plan ( Includes collection, transportation haul roads ,and disposal)a Construction phase Water management plan* Management plan for Construction camps, Labour camps,* Management plan for plant sites ( WMM Plan, Hot mix, Crushers , etc)* Accidents, safety and Traffic Management plan.* This should include how the contractor wanted to execute the excavation of the hill ward side for widening
and how does it links to the debris disposal plan. Contractor need to specify the timings/effectivenesswanted to remove the excavated material. What is the method of storing the material and the location ofintending material storage place? This EMP provides guide lines for the preparation of all such plans
EMP includes detailed specifications, bill of quantities (BOQ), execution drawings and contracting procedures forexecution of the environmental mitigation and enhancement measures suggested This is separately considered for
1.o0IW f>crgcr (it oLp I.\( S 18
I limachal Statte Roacis l'roicct Fn% ironmental Miaiaoecimcnt plan (Theog-Kharapatthar-Rolhru section )
pre-construction, construction and operational stages of the project. Since the project is to be implemented under ICBcontracting, highest standards of project planning, Project Management and project implementation are to maintain.Therefore the Contractor needs to resort to international good practices not only in the implementation of EMP but alsoin all construction activities. The success of the project management is directly linked to the effective implementation ofthe EMP measures. All mitigation measures, avoidance measures and environmental enhancement measuresrecommended are to be implemented in a timely and phased manner. Proper understanding of all environmentalmanagement measures especially the EMAP is a pre-requisite for all those working from the Contractor's side.
The institutional arrangements required at the PWD, Contractors and the CSC (supervision consultants) have beendefined properly for the smooth implementation of the project components. A positive attitude from the projectmanagement and the individual professional or staffs are always a pre-requisite for success of the EMPimplementation.
The EMP specifies the environmental supervision, monitoring and auditing requirements. The monitoring programmespecify parameters, reference standards, monitoring method, frequency, duration, location, reporting responsibilities,and what other inputs (e.g., training) are necessary. The EMAP on the other hand provides an action plan showing themitigation measures time of implementation, who will implement, at what location and who will supervise etc. This isprovided for pre-construction, construction and post construction stages. The EMP listed all mandatory governmentclearance conditions, and the status of procuring clearances.
1.6 CLEARANCES REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT
The project road considered in this contract package will have to obtain National Environmental clearance as it falls inthe ecologically sensitive area. The PIA (7 km X 7 km) has considerable forest cover especially reserved forests andprotected forests.

* 2.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
* The project road passes through high altitude hill ranges with snow falls. Except near Kharapthar and adjoining areasthe presence of snow will be limited to very short duration of few days.
2.1.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Air quality is generally good except along the recently opened and in completed sections under the CRF scheme.* These areas are highly dust prone and require sprinkling of water for suppression of the dust. The Contractor will
partially inherit the problem from the previous Contractor unless other wise completed and stabilised. There are nopolluting industries in PIA or in the adjoining areas. The areas have thick vegetation for most of the length except
* along the first 15 kms at Theog and the last 4 kilometres.
m The air pollution during construction would be very high if not properly managed, particularly near the working zones,construction plant sites and from the construction machinery and construction vehicles. The mitigation measures for
* the avoidance and mitigation measures for controlling the air pollution are provided in table 3.1 Environmentalmanagement action plan (EMAP). Due to an increase in the width of pavement and landscaping the dust levels
* created by traffic will decrease during operational phase.
* 2.1.2 NoIsE ENVIRONMENT
* Ambient noise level is generally low of the order of 40 -60 dB (A) only. The natural sources of noise level are that ofthe prevailing natural environment, natural forests and scattered settlements. The limited traffic plying along the project
* road also contributes to the noise level. Near Gumma the noise level is slightly high due to geographic location* (echoing etc) between two hills and the Traffic (including truck traffic) at this location. Since the expected increase in
traffic will be slow but steady and the seasonal static truck traffic to transport apples, no major increase in traffic noise* levels are expected. As the apple cultivation will be more or less static there won't be any sudden increase in the
number of truck traffic during the apple season also. During Operational stage, the operation of trucks to transport theapples will be very smooth and safe therefore even during the apple season the noise level will be reduced to aminimum.
The adverse impacts from the increase of noise during construction phase on the near by community will be reduced* by several construction phase mitigation plans. All possible mechanical and administrative controls will be practiced to
reduce the adverse impacts on the workers. In unavoidable situations personal protective equipments (PPE) will be* provided to the workers based on the nature of works.
* Three numbers of sensitive receptors for the construction of noise barriers have been identified and the details arepresented in Appendix 9.0 and in design drawings in Appendix-21. These locations have been identified based on itsproximity of the sensitive receptors (schools and hospitals) to the road traffic and the absence of wall or the
* inadequate height of the existing walls. Provision has been provided for additional barriers identified duringconstruction phase. In all areas of identified noise barriers public will be advised how the noise levels can be reduced
* by barriers such as solid walls and trees. The project does not recommend expensive double glazed windows as aneconomically viable impact mitigation measure.
2.1.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The water environment is generally good but is being polluted by the large scale horticultural activities prevailing in the* PIA. After forests of various categories spread over the PIA, the next major land use in the PIA is apple cultivation.
Apple requires lot of care and large quantities of pesticides and fertilisers. This is a major contamination source for therunning water in the perennial streams. Otherwise the water quality of samples tested has been found good (Refer Vol
* 1 EA report). Contractor need to keep a copy of the Vol-1 EA and Vol-2 EMP in the contractor's site office. Other than

the construction water issue no major pollution points have been identified through out the length. Near Rohru theproject road is located on the banks of Pabbar river, At this location no construction waste will be disposed off in to theriver. The construction vehicles are prohibited from entering the river bed for any purpose (including cleaning) otherthan any legitimate requirements. This is to avoid major pollution points due to Petroleum oil and lubricants (POL).
The construction water requirement could be an issue during construction at certain stretches of the project road. Aspart of the planning contractor is to prepare a contractors construction water management plan as per the guide linesprovided in Appendix 16.
2.1.4 GEOLOGY AND MATERIAL SOURCES
Geologically the areas are not very stable and are seismically very active zone (zone IV and V) as per the Seismiczoning classification of India. Slope stabilisation measures are required to avoid major land slides. Land slips landslides mudflow and other slope failures along the hill slopes are very common along the road. Details of the retainingwall locations have been provide in Table 1.7 in section 1.3.1.3.
The material sources would be generally the materials obtained while widening (hill cutting) the project road.Nevertheless as a pre-requisite few quarries and borrow areas have been identified and provided in Appendix- 4 and5.
Two major stone quarry areas were also identified at Mourri and at Snail. Mourri is located at km 1.00 from Chela. Thisis quartzite quarry which is good for road works. Snail is located at 12 km from Hatkoti.
All borrow areas will be operated and redeveloped in accordance with the IRC 10:1961. MoRTH and applicable EMPclauses. Contractor may not require soils from borrow areas as the hill ward side cutting would be sufficient to meetthe construction requirements. In case the Contractor find the qualities of the cut materials are not good forconstruction. Then other sources will have to be explored. This is most unlikely as there would be many locations ( in80 km stretch) from which good quality materials also can be excavated. The soil found along the project road isshallow black brown and alluvial soils and other recently formed soils,
In addition to the above arrangements, Contractor will have to establish dedicated crushers units to generate adequatesand and aggregates so as to effectively utilise the excavated materials during widening.
2.2 BIO ENVIRONMENT
It has been identified that almost 60 -70 % of the PIA is Forest area. There are barren forest areas and dense greenforest areas. There are a number of barren hills along this project road near Theog and Rohru side.
2.2.1 FLORA
The project location is in an area of highly diverse flora. There are many threatened plants in the endangered, criticallyendangered, threatened categories of flora in the region.
All forest patches that are abutting the project road are protected forests (PF) but are the continuation of the sameReserved Forests (RF) located behind the PF in the PIA. Details of some of the identified forest reserves are providedin table 1.6.

According to the latest notification on the re engineered environmental clearance process, this project falls in theCategory A requiring an MOEF Clearance. More over the project also require Forest clearance as it requires morethan 5 Ha of Forest land located immediately adjacent along the project road.
Contractor need to maintain high vigil in all activities, including a control on the labour force so that there will not beany impact to the Forest reserves. For all activities that involve forest area or forest produce must get writtenpermission from the Forest department authorities.
Project will require removing more than 1764 trees from the side of the project road. Thousands of trees will beremoved from the forest areas also. All this require compensatory afforestation according to the Forest conservationAct. The forest department will complete this task up on payment.
2.2.2 FAUNA
Similarly the project location is in an area of highly diverse fauna. There are many threatened species of theendangered, critically endangered, threatened categories of fauna in the region. All consultations carded out with thelocal communities and the forest officials do confirm the high faunal presence in the PIA.
Contractor shall not establish camps in the vicinity of forests within 500m distance. Contractor will have to vigorouslyimplement the Table 3.0 Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) which specifies the dos and don'ts in theForest areas. In order to address all flora, fauna and biodiversity related
2.3 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The socio economic environment has considered the land use changes, impact to drinking water sources, impact toland and properties and impact to cultural properties. Project has integrated several mitigation, avoidance andenhancement plans relating to socio economic aspects that include provision for parking areas, bus bays, rain sheltorsetc in to the engineering design to improve the quality of life in these areas.
2.3.1 RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION
A separate study has been carried out and a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared for land acquisition andresettlement of people and properties. This is being taken up separately for implementation with the help of an NGO.

The land acquisition process has been started for the Theog-Rohru project road with the section 4.1 notification in themonth of October 2006.
2.3.2 CULTURAL PROPERTIES
2.3.2.1 Temples and shrines
Himachal Pradesh is well known as Dev Bhoomi with numerous temples distributed through out the State. The projectroad Theog - Rohru is also known for the number of temples along the project road. Nevertheless the numbers ofdirectly and indirectly impacted temples are only five. A cultural property rehabilitation plan will be in place after thedesign of all 413 kms of project roads. Those that require shifting will be dealt with in the Resettlement Action Plan(RAP). Those that require enhancement are included in the EMP.
At Chela a relatively big cultural property (Temple) is located in the middle of the road. In order to avoid communityconflicts, Contractor will have to discuss with the local community prior to taking up the construction work at this site.
2.3.2.2 Archaeological structures
There are three archaeological properties identified along this project road. These are
* Hatkoti Mata temple. Archaeological structure with 20m distance of the project road on the R.H.S (187+850)* Archaeological structures within 1 OOms of the project road
Contractor has to take extremely high precautions not to damage the structure located within 20 m of the project road.A vibration resistant design is being considered at this location. This will be implemented in consultation with StateArchaeological department
2.4 SAFETY AND HEALTH ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT
2.4.1 ROAD SAFETY IN DESIGN
Road safety is an important aspect of the modern design requirements. All possible road safety measures have beentaken in to consideration while designing the project. This include provision for bus lay bys, parking areas, and alsoinclude improved lining and signing, guard rails at appropriate locations, pedestrian crossing facilities. Locations of allthese features are provided in the Volume of drawings. Near schools there would be raised foot path zebra crossingand a Standard road safety signage relating to schools.
2.4.2 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES FOR WORKERS AND LABOURS
Depending on the nature of work all workers shall be provided with adequate personal protective equipments. A list ofpersonal protective equipments (PPE) is provided in Appendix 10.
The project manager of the Construction contractor and the team leader of the CSC should wear the PPE as a rolemodel so that the safety culture will be transmitted to the lowest rank of the construction workers. This should be seenas an encouragement for developing and inculcating a safety culture at all levels at work site.
First aid boxes with first aid leaf lets will be placed at all work places and at least four sets in each construction camps.A selected group of workers will be trained to use the first aid so as to meet the emergencies at working zones andsecondary work sites. Arrangements with nearby health centres and local doctors will be made for treating injurieswhich need attention of specialist doctors.
Contractor must ensure insurance to its workers covering through out the Construction contract period.
2.4.3 TRAFFIC SAFETY PLANS
During construction phase contractor is to prepare plans for the effective implementation of the traffic safetyarrangements along the construction zones. Contractor shall not open numerous construction fronts simultaneously.
1.oeiis Berger (Group. 1\(. l SA 26
I linachal State Roads Project E n\ironmiental Maanagemieint plan ( Iheog-Kharapatthar-Rohru section)
The number of opening fronts should depend on the capability and capacity of the Contractor to effectively manage thework sites with his dedicated staff. Prior to opening of new work fronts, after the completion of the work, the areashould be safely closed in all respects with suitable information or sign boards.
The Contractor will have to prepare a 'Road safety, Accidents and Traffic management plan' with the guidelinesprovided in the appendix 15. In this plan road safety are precautionary measures against accidents through out thelength of the project road, while accident plan is to take measures once an accident took place at work site and trafficmanagement plan is the physical managing of the traffic at critical work locations in accordance with the IRCguidelines on road safety at construction zones (IRC:SP:55 2001). All safety precautions will be ensured duringtemporary and permanent works for the road construction and details of the requirement are included in the volume ofdrawings, the specifications and Bills of quantities (BOQ). Based on these, site specific traffic management plan will beprepared and implemented by the Contractor and checked by the construction supervision consultants (CSC) duringthe construction stage.
2.4.4 HANDLING OF EXPLOSIVES
Considerable rock blasting would require along the project road, due to the presence of hard rocks, huge rock blocksetc on the hill ward side where the total widening would takes place. This need permission and licence from thedepartment of explosives.
Further storing, transportation and its use require considerable safety requirements and arrangements. Therefore theContractor must resort to all safety guidelines and best practices.
Near forest reserves Contractor shall use controlled/ silent blasting. Further a written permission will be required fromthe Forest department especially from the wildlife wing.
2.4.5 HANDLING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (POL)
The use of petrol, oil and lubricants (POL) including bitumen and emulsions will be handled, stored and used inaccordance with the relevant rules, acts, and guidelines to avoid any impact to the environment and reduce theprobability of the occurrence of the accidents.

SECTION 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT MEASURES
The various environmental enhancement measures considered include
c Provision for additional parking areas /Oxbow land development
* Rest area development (Development and Improvement of Oxbow land)
* Bus bays or bus lay bysW Bus waiting sheds locally known as 'Rain shelters'
* Cultural property enhancement
* Development of scenic spots along the project roads (tourism plus safety)Improvement to drinking water sources
Further a number of environmental enhancement measures in addition to the impact mitigation and avoidancemeasures would also be carried out as a part of the project. This include,
. Enhancement tree planting along the oxbow lands (1.71 kms) and the other left over portions of the originalPWD land provided in appendix 12.
* Cultural property enhancement as a part of the cultural property rehabilitation plan ( Appendix-3* Public amenities such as bus lay bys (all new facility enhancement) , rain shelters (in addition to the
compensatory rain shelters for lost ones), comfort stations (toilets) at parking areas and at rain sheltersAppednix-20 Design drawings for Environmental enhancement.
a Information boards for the tourist, pilgrimage and other important structures of importance
4.1 DISPLAY OF TOURIST LEVEL INFORMATION
This relates to the information boards with regards to the tourism and pilgrimage areas so that all these structures areproperly integrated to the project roads. This will be a positive step towards tourisms prospects of the State.
HP is a tourist area and clear display of the name of tourist locations including names of rivers the lengths andcatchments areas would be a very positive step for encouraging tourism with investment from tourism as well as PWD.
Provision for tourist information/sign boards at the access roads is provided in Appendix 20. This is also included in theBOQ NO 11 Environmental mitigation works.
Further in this project, many of the existing oxbow land Appendix -21 areas could be developed in to comfort stationsdepending up on the location.
4.2 INTEGRATION OF VALLEY VIEW LOCATIONS
A number of tourist grade valley view locations can be developed along the project road. At Theog near the startchainage (km 1.000) there are a number of barren locations from where there could be excellent views of the valley.Following are the exact locations where in it is recommended to put valley view locations.
* Chainage 1.00a Chainage -41.600* Chainage -52.500
4.3 ENHANCEMENT OF SAFETY FEATURES IN THE DESIGN (BUS BAYS, RAIN SHELTER ANDPARKING AREAS)
For health and safety of the road users, it is necessary to maximise the utilisation of the existing space. In this regardsit will be possible to provide bus bays, rain shelter and a number of parking areas (including breakdown yard) in allavailable spaces.
I ouis Blergcr (Groupi up\( I SA t7
I linaclhal State Roads Project Ln-ns ivonlmcntal \vlanaacmcnt plan (Theog-iKharapatthar-Rohru section)
This includes all parking areas and all new bus lay bys, rain shelters, and cultural property enhancement.
4.3.1 SAFETY ENHANCEMENT -BUS LAY BYS
Bus lay bays have been provided in almost all areas of existing rain shelter locations for the project road depending upon the available space. A typical bus lay bys is provided in Appendix 21 design drawings. These measures willimprove public convenience and safety and intended to allow free flow of traffic along the corridor.
Enforcement of all traffic safety measures is important at the bus bay locations. Right and left sections of bus bayshall not be facing to each other at the same location. There should be pedestrian crossing facilities and propersigning of bus stops. Entry of other vehicles to the bus lay- bys must be prohibited. Taking all these aspects intoconsideration, bus lay - bys have been built into the designs as shown in Appendix -21 and necessary provisionsprovided in the BOQ relating to Civil contract works.
4.3.2 ENHANCEMENT OF RAIN SHELTERI BUS SHELTERS/BUS WAITING SHEDS
Due to the larger presence of pedestrians (in the built up areas) and rainfall conditions, rain shelters are requiredwhere ever it is presently located. This is provided as an impact mitigation measures. In addition to this there areseveral others where ever the bus bays have been provided. During construction phase, the project authorities need toconsult the local municipal and Panchayat authorities for finalising the exact locations to avoid the conflict with thelocal interest (Any new area development plan) groups. There are provisions in the Project for the necessary budgetand included within the BOQ relating to Civil construction Contract for implementation. It is also required to include thetoilet facilities also in the design drawings to increase the usefulness of the rain shelter.
This aspect has been included in the BOQ bill no 11 titled Environemntal mitigation works.
4.3.3 ENHANCEMENT TO PARKING FACILITIES -TRUCK, TAXI CARS AND BUS PARKING FACILITIES
Since this road is one of the few apple corridors of the State where in numerous trucks operate during the appleharvesting season. These trucks require parking areas and breakdown yards to avoid hindrance to the free flow oftraffic.
Various studies carried out during the early preparation stage indicated the requirement of proper parking space.Therefore proper parking areas and use is required as a part of good traffic management.
Typical designs required for parking areas are provided in the appendix-21 design drawings. In all busy junctions, it isnecessary to construct parking areas separately.
Proposed parking areas are provided in the Appendix -19. There will be provision for separate parking space for thesevehicles. This is a typical example. If such land kept unutilised could be encroached by individuals and could lead tohuge loss for the local communities. Proposed Parking Area Design For TAXI is provided in te Appendix-19. Designdrawings for Environmental management.
The space required will be of the order of 200 sq.m. This space should be secure and away from the existing availablecorridor. Raised footpaths will be required at these locations. The project will develop parking areas as shown inAppendix-19, provided land is already available. Separate design for typical parking areas for cars, trucks etc areprovided Appendix-21. Appendix-19 is the proposed parking areas where in no additional land acquisition would berequired. All these area in the oxbow lands and other left over portions of the project road ROW.
4.4 ENHANCEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTIES
A cultural property rehabilitation plan will be prepared utilising the efforts of a cultural property specialist. This plan willhave provisions for Environmental enhancement measures for the cultural properties that would be impacted as wellas that are close to the highway. Those that will be impacted will be dealt with in the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)and those that are close to the road would be dealt with in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) forimplementation by the Contractor.

4.4.1 INTEGRATION OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AT ROHRU RIVER CROSSING
The two archaeological structures require enhancement in addition to the impact mitigation design. This will be carriedout along with the cultural property rehabilitation plan in consultation with the State archaeological department. Thework involves an access to the structure, cleaning and levelling of the platform around the structure for tourists tofreely enter and observe. Further there will be standard tourist sign boards placed in an appropriate location for thepeople coming from Shimla/Theog side.
4.4.2 INTEGRATION OF GIRI GANGA PILGRIMAGE
The Giri Ganga temple dedicated to the Ganga Mata near Kharapathar is six kilometre away towards right hand side inthe forest region. This location is the origin of the River Giri Ganga where the temple is located. The temple dedicatedto Ganga Mata is surrounded by water. Approach road to this location via dense deodar forests is quite difficult. Withsmall cars the journey would be easier. Location needs an all weather access road preferably a gravel road. Anexcellent rest area cum hotel cum restaurant has been recently constructed at Kharapathar by the Himachal tourismdepartment.
4.4.3 INTEGRATION OF THE HATKHOTI MATA TEMPLE AT HATKOTI
The river near Hatkoti Mata temple need to be well integrated to the Pilgrimage at Hatkotti Mata temple. Developmentof access road to the river and construction of bathing steps at one or more locations could yield good results. Thepilgrims will get much better satisfaction in terms of the time and effort they have put to visit the location in summermonths.
The project will improve the junction and access to the access road. This is part of the Civil work. Therefore noadditional BOQ items are required for this
4.4.4 INTEGRATION OF JUBBAL PALACE
Although constructed in the pre-independent period (completed in 1946) in the last century, Jubbal palace is one of theimportant palaces in the Himachal Pradesh. This palace need to be properly integrated in to the road infrastructure. Noadditional BOQ items are required as all the unit costs required are included in the bill of quantities for engineeringitems. The payment will be based on the additional quantity of civil work accomplished.
A sign board and proper access road to the Jubbal palace is all that can be done for this palace within the budgetaryprovisions of the project. Access to access road is part of the Civil work. Therefore no additional BOQ items arerequired for this. Provision for Sign board is included in the BOQ titled environmental mitigation works.
4.5 COMMUNITY SPACE
4.5.1 PLANTING ALONG THE OXBOW LAND (LEFT OVER PORTION OF THE EXISTING ROAD)
The tree planting explained in this section is different form the compensatory afforestation as per the tree plantingstrategy developed according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Trees and shrubs need to be planted inall oxbow land areas available along the project roads. To avoid any future encroachments no land shall be keptunutilized. Appendix-22 provides a list of oxbow land locations available for various kind of development for the localcommunities.
Some of these locations could be useful for the development of the municipal solid waste disposal areas, while someother could be useful for the development of comfort stations and rest areas. This part is provided in the remainingsection of the document.
4.5.2 DEVELOPMENT OF REALIGNMENTS AND BRIDGE RELOCATION AREAS
As a part of environmental management, it is necessary to develop the left over portion (oxbow land) of the (1)realignments and (2) new bridge alignments sections. These areas will be heavily planted and parking areasdeveloped. Depending up on the space available, a full scale rest area can also be developed in such locations. In

SECTION 5.0 MONITORING PROGRAMME
The monitoring programme consists of performance indicators, reporting formats and necessary budgetary provisions.Out of this the budgetary provisions are confidential and are not supposed to be part of the disclosure statement. Thebudgetary statements are provided in section 7.0 for the purpose of evaluation of the EMP.
The contractors monitoring plan should be in accordance with the baseline environmental monitoring, locationsprovided in the Environmental impact assessment report.
The monitoring plan has the following objective
* To ensure effective implementation of EMPa To comply with all applicable environmental, safety, labour and local legislation* To ensure that public opinions and obligations are taken in to account and respected to the required
satisfaction levela To modify the mitigation measures or implementing additional measures, if required
5.1 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Environmental components identified of a particular significance in affecting the environment at critical locations havebeen suggested as performance indicators (PIS). For example near the construction site, a thick layer of dust over thenear by vegetation/leaf is an indication that the dust control measures are not effective. The performance indicatorsshall be evaluated under three heads as;
a Environmental condition indicators to determine efficacy of environmental management measures in controlof air, noise, water and soil pollution.
* Environmental management indicators to determine compliance with the suggested environmentalmanagement measures
* Operational performance indicators have also been devised to determine efficacy and utility of the proposedmitigation measures
The performance indicators and monitoring plans prepared for the Theog-Rohru road section are presented in table5.1. Details of the performance indicative parameters for each of the component have to be identified and reportedduring all stages of the implementation.

5.3 REPORTING SYSTEM
Reporting system for the suggested monitoring programme operates at two levels:
1) Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental managementindicators
2) Reporting for operational performance indicators at the HPRIDC/PWD level.
Environmental monitoring involves regular checking of the environmental management issues detailed in the EMPand to ascertain whether the mitigation measures are achieving their objectives, according to the EMP, with theprogress of the works. It provides the necessary feedback for Project management to keep the programme onschedule will still achieving the expected outcomes.
The Contractor, CSC and HPRIDC/PWD operate the reporting system for environmental conditions andenvironmental management indicators. The reporting system is presented in Table 5.3. Reporting formats forContractors and Construction Supervision consultants have been prepared, which will form the basis of theimplementation by the Contractor and monitoring by the CSC and HPRIDC/PWD. The list of reporting formatsprepared for the Project is presented in Table 5.4 and Formats are presented in Appendix-14.
The reporting system will start with the Construction Contractor who is the mainexecutor of the implementation activities. The Contractor will report to theConstruction Supervision Consultant, who in turn shall report to the HPRIDC/PWD. As a check on thatthe Independent Environmental Review Consultant for EMP compliance will carryout the independentreview of EMP compliance and submit a draft and final half yearly report to HPRIDC/PWD along with anote specifying the critical issues and suggested actions to be take by the HPRIDC/ CSC/ Contractor.The Contractor will submit monthly and quarterly environmental compliance reportsalong with formal monthly and quarterly reporting to the CSC.The CSC will submit separate quarterly environmental monitoring reports to HPRIDC/PWD in addition tosubmission of the summary of the activities of the month in the formal monthly report including anydeviations and corrective actions
* HPRIDC will be responsible for the preparation of the targets for identified noncompliances in association with independent environmental reviewer for the EMPcompliance.Solutions for further effective implementation may also emerge as a result of the compliance monitoringreports.
* Photographic records will be kept to provide useful environmental monitoring tools. All material sourcepoints, disposal locations, plant locations, camp locations, crusher locations etc should be photographedand kept as a record to under stand the land use
. A full record of construction activities will be kept as part of normal Contractmonitoring system. Reporting and Monitoring Systems for various stages of construction and relatedactivities have been proposed in Table 5.3 and 5.4 are to ensure timely and effective implementation ofthe EMP.The operation stage monitoring reports may be annual or biannual, provided the Project EnvironmentalCompletion Report shows that the implementation was satisfactory.
This reporting will be as follows:
* Reporting by the Contractor to the CSCReporting by SC to HPRIDC/PWD
* Reporting by HPRIDC/PWD for the information of all interested parties

The Environmental Officer of CSC can make required changes in the Formats specified in Appendix 14 of EMP toensure effective reporting of environmental issues. Some of the formats should be included in the Request forInspection such as Debris disposal area approval request. For making any required changes in the frequency ofreporting and change in the contents of the report for effective and simple for implementation and monitoring, CSCshould discuss the reporting formats with the Contractor and HPRIDC. This will not only ensure that theenvironmental provisions are addressed but also link the satisfactory compliance to environmental proceduresprior to approval of the Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) by the Engineer. In the regular monthly meeting theenvironmental aspects should also be discussed and the staff responsible for the implementation of theenvironmental management from the Contractor, HPRIDC/PWD and CSC should also be present.

6.1 INTEGRATION OF EMP WITHIN THE PROJECT
Table 3.1 is the Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) which describes the Environmental mitigationmeasures for project impact management.
Detailed environmental monitoring plans for air, noise, soil and water quality are presented in Table 5.2.
Tentative reporting formats for the reporting of the environmental aspects of the Contract are presented in theEMP in Appendix 14. EMP will be reviewed by the Construction supervision Consultants (CSC) in discussion withthe Contractor and HPRIDC/PWD within two months of mobilization of the Construction Contractor or beforecommencement of the works. The environmental measures suggested as part of contract broadly fall into thefollowing categories:
* Specific items shown in the volume of drawings, specifications and in the BOQ and summarised in thisEMP.
* Management measures that are stand-alone items and can be implemented by the Contractor(as provision of oil interceptors, regulatory monitoring of environmental components etc)
* Management measures that are to be taken up by the Contractor as part of permanent works inaccordance with good engineering practicesEnhancement measures directly related to the road development to improve public safety andconvenience such as parking areas, bus bays, bus waiting sheds etc all new and are part of road safetyenhancement
* Enhancement measures including measures indirectly related to the road construction(enhancement of cultural properties, common property resources such as wastewater ponds etc).
The environmental management measures have been incorporated into the permanent and temporary work items.Separate provisions have been made in the BOQ for the items which can be quantified separately. Other itemsthat are specified but not priced separately in the BOQ are to be included in the Contractors rates.

APPENDIX 6: SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION CAMP
1.0 SELECTION AND LAYOUT OF CONSTRUCTION CAMP
The construction camps for labour, accommodation, offices and construction plant sites shall be identified basedon the following guidelines. The construction site shall be located
* At a minimum distance of 1 km away from any major settlement or village.* At a minimum distance of 300m of any major surface water course or body
If this is not possible the base camps should be located away from the settlements with the following precautions
* The base camp should be enclosed with boundary wall.* Movement of the workers should be registered during the night time.* There should not be any disturbance to the local community.* Operation of the plant and machinery should be restricted to 6 am to 1 Om* Care should be taken while starting and moving the heavy vehicles, there is a possibility
that children of near settlement may be playing with the machinery parked outside the camps.
2.0 FACILITIES AT WORKERS CAMPS
During the construction stage of the Project, the construction Contractor will construct and maintain necessary(temporary) living accommodation and ancillary facilities for labour. It will be ensured that all the temporaryaccommodation will be provided with uncontaminated water for drinking, cooking and washing. Adequate washingand bathing places shall be provided, and kept in clean and drained condition. Construction camps will be sitedaway from vulnerable people and adequate health care will be provided for the work force.
General requirements include availability of:
* potable water supply in quantity and quality,* Requirement of power supply for heating as wells as for cooking- Fire wood shall not be used for cooking
and Heating purposes- Contractor or LPG gas/Kerosene must provide LPG supply for the constructioncamps.
* Safe Access road is required at camps* Waste (all kind of solid and liquid wastes) generated- wastes generated need to be disposed off
smoothly.
2.1 SANITATION FACILITIES:
Construction camps shall be provided with sanitary latrines and urinals. Closed drainage systems and the propertreatment systems according to the local conditions should be constructed for the proper flow and effectivetreatment. The sewage system built for the camp will be operated properly to avoid health hazard, ground waterand soil pollution. Compost pits will be constructed for the disposal of the garbage and other biodegradable wastesgenerated from the camps. Proper collection, transportation and disposal of the wastes will be ensured.
3.0 SHELTER AT WORKPLACE:
At such workplaces where the duration of the works will prevail for more than one month some form of shelterswill be provided for meals, resting, change of clothes and for keeping the tools of the work and personal protectiveequipment. The height of shelter shall not be less than 3m from floor level to lowest part of the roof. Sheds shall bekept clean and the space provided shall be on the basis of at least 1 m2 per head.
3.0 Canteen Facilities:
L louis Rergcr (iro up. I( . t SA 75
I limachlal State Roads Plroject EPnvironmental Nlanaggement plan ( I hcog-liKharapatthar-Rohru section)
A cooked food canteen on a moderate scale shall be provided for the benefit of workers wherever it is considerednecessary. All the wastes generated from the canteen will be treated/ disposed of as detailed in the other sections
of waste disposal.
4.0 HEALTH CARE FACILITIES:
Healt
h problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care facilities through a health centre
set up at the construction camps. The health centre will have at least a doctor (part time), nurses, duty staff,
medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements for minor accidental cases. Some
arrangements will be made with the nearest hospital to refer patients of major illnesses or critical cases.
5.0 DAY CRECHE FACILITIES:
At construction sites where women with very young children are employed, provision of a day creche shall be
provided. At construction sites where 20 or more women are ordinarily employed, a hut for children under the age
of 6 years shall be provided.
For ensuring the implementation of effective pollution control measures at the construction base camps and
construction plant sites, redevelopment closure plans for the closure of these sites will be made part of the
Environmental Management Plan of the construction Contract
6.0 CONSTRUCTION WORKERS CAMP
In all over India, road construction works are in peak stage. With several local/ regional/national and internationalcontractors in place, the road construction work recently started showing seriousness towards this issue. The
Contractor recently started providing legally and contractually required facilities for the unskilled labour, hired from
the local villages or are brought to the place of work from outside the State.
Even now the Contractor camps and other facilities are set up in worst conditions even when the contractdocuments are clearly specifying the required standards. The associated issues are as follows.
1. Forest resources could be encroached up on in all possible ways by the labour force.2. Unauthorized tree felling to get fuel -wood both for cooking as well as heating even when alternative
fuel is made available,3. Poaching of edible animals and birds of the locality in spite of prohibition,4. Poor sanitation arrangement and improper methods used for disposal of solid wastes and effluent,5. Indigenous people getting invaded by imported construction labour- force, due to lack of discipline,6. Transmission of communicable diseases to the local people by the construction workers due to
inappropriate health monitoring facilities, and7. Creating hazardous traffic flow at construction site due to lack of concern about the local needs and
provision for pedestrian.

APPENDIX 9: NOISE BARRIERS
1.0 TYPICAL DESIGNS FOR NOISE BARRIERS
Typical designs are provided in the Appendix 21 design drawings. Mitigation at the sensitive receptor locations
may include posting of signs prohibiting the use of horns and, to the extent possible, landscape planting to serve
as green noise barriers. Effect of noise can be reduced considerably by the combined effect of sound insulating
walls and green barriers. Nevertheless the putting of green barriers require at least 2-5m additional space between
the solid barrier and the receptor. Principle of the designed barrier is also explained in the design sections.
Proposed project mitigation actions are cost effective and implement able when compared to the generally
recommended expensive double glazed windows.
2.0 SOUND INSULATING WALLS FOR SILENCE ZONES.
The designs of these arrangements were proposed with a brick wall to act as a sound barrier. The hospitals,
medical centres, schools and other educational institutions are affected by the traffic noise. A number of schools
and a few hospitals are generally observed adjacent to the road corridor.
3.0 GREEN BARRIERS FOR SILENCE ZONES.
These are simply a thick layer of green plantation with small leaves acting as noise attenuates. These trees may
be planted just "inside" and adjacent to the wall. Contractors will be responsible for the implementation of the civil
work. Tree plantation will be carried out by the forest department under the tree planting scheme of the project The
implementation aspects are provided in the respective EMPs. In addition to the noise mitigation, the thick green
barrier will also act as an air quality filter for traffic emission. A typical green barrier of 100 m length will have 200
trees in 4 ROWs.
Noise mitigation techniques will be employed as may be warranted at each of the sensitive receptor sites
tabulated in Table 1.0. Definitive noise levels will be empirically determined at each site and selection of the
mitigation technique will be made on a site - specific basis in consultation with property owners. Co - ordination and
implementation will be the responsibility of the Environmental Officer of the Construction Supervision consultants

APPENDIX 12: TREE PLANTATION STRATEGY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This is the most common impact of any road widening project. If the location of the project road is in dry areas, the
degree of impact is more than in a wet area where the trees can be planted and grown easily. In the case
Himachal Pradesh considerable vegetation exists in the PIA as forests of various categories. Except along the
Mehatpur-Una-Amb road there is hardly any planted avenue plantation along the prioritised project roads of
413kms.
The scopes for tree planting along hill roads are rather poor. Nevertheless there are many isolated patches of
unutilised land along the project road. Two sketches are prepared for the possibility of road side plantation. These
are provided in the Appendix 21 Design drawings. One of the drawing is a standard plantation scheme for two lane
road in (Plains) with shoulders @ 200 plants per km length (Refer SOS, 2006)
The second figure is a standard plantation scheme for two lane road (in hills) with shoulders @ 100 plants per km
length.
The main areas where proposed forestation along the road on both sides where ever adequate ROW is available.
If this not possible at least one side on the side slope should be adequately protected by adopting slope stability
measures.
2.0 PURPOSE OF TREE PLANTATION
The objectives of planting trees and shrubs at selected enhancement sites against the felled trees are the
following
* To reduce the impacts of air and dust pollution and act as a natural filter to traffic emissions
* To provide shade for the traffic as well as the pedestrians
* To reduce the impact of vehicular noise caused by vehicles
* To arrest soil erosion on slopes* Beautification of sites by planting selective ornamental shrubs, landscaping and
turfing with grasses* planting trees on the roadsides is to produce a softer greener landscape.
* to raise social forestry in order to improve the* to act as a natural filter to the traffic emissions.
3.0 IMPACTED TREES
3.1 PUBLIC OWNED TREES-
These are trees within the legal ROW of project road with in the control of PWD.
All these trees with in the forest reserves are also termed as public trees. However the procedure for cutting of
these trees is different from the normal trees with in the PWD ROW.
Platform trees: There are number good fully grown Trees with beautiful canopy along most of the roads except
along the Theog -Rohru project road. One tree with platform adjoining the front portion of a temple complex will be
removed from the Una -Amb section as it falls in the middle of the proposed alignment.
3.2 PRIVATE OWNED TREES-
The number of private owned trees to be acquired outside the right of way will be high compared to the public
trees within the right of way. The private trees that will be affected during widening and improvement will be
subjected to compensation at the appropriate market rates. In addition to this the project will plant two trees for
every tree removed as a compensatory tree planting measure irrespective of the size, species etc.
The total no of impacted trees along the project road are
I ouis 1lerger GroLup. iN\- I \ 52
flimachal Statc Roadds Project Lnl ironimienial \vlanagement plan ( Fhcog-Kharapatthar-Rohlu sec:tion)
* Trees with in the road right of way 1764 Nos
* Trees with in the Forest land to be acquired-Nos ( data not available)
* Trees that are falling in private lands-Nos ( data not vailable)
Therefore 3528 Nos of trees will be required to be planted as a compensatory tree planting as per the Forest
conservation act. The data not available are to be obtained from the Social impact survey and land verification.
4.0 SELECTION OF TREES SPECIES
The selection of the plants for greenery development is to be made as per the following criteria;
* Plants should be fast growing with dense canopy cover;
* Preferably perennial and evergreen with large leaf area index;
* Indigenous* Resistant to air pollutants involved, and
* Should help to maintain the ecological and hydrological balance of the region
The most recommended trees for planting along the hill road sides are provided in the following table. Species
Selected for Tree Plantation.
The plant species that are selected based on the climatic condition, soil characteristics and conditions of the area.
The row closest to the main carriage way will be of shade plants. Similarly, subsequent rows will comprise of
ornamental and flowering species. Mainly native deciduous species, which retain their foliage longest, with high
crown forms, resistant to fungus and insects with rapid growth rate are selected for avenues. Lists of the species
recommended as shade plants are given below:

5.0 COMPENSATORY TREE PLANTATION PROGRAMME
All trees that are cut and removed will be accountable as per the forest laws and efforts will be maintained to plant
double the number of trees according to this tree plantation strategy.
Total number of trees that will be cut and removed will be more than 1000 private trees in addition to trees located
with in the forest reserves. This will require compensatory planting of 2000 trees along the sides of the newly
constructed project road or in other locations.
Indigenous species of trees recommended above are most suited for the tree plantations. In order to make it
tourist friendly and beautiful same types of trees would be planted in the same location so that for every kilometre
the trees would change to new species.
Since the area has dense forest sections, a very detailed study is being under taken bio biodiversity expert until
that study is complete the exact loss and the consequent mitigation measures cannot be determined.
6.0 TREE PLANTING DURING CONSTRUCTION
6.1 TREE PLANTING ALONG THE ROAD SIDES
Tree plantation will be the responsibility of the Forest department. Necessary budget has been made for the tree
plantation and provided in the EMP. The total no of trees to be planted will be double the number of trees that will
be removed from the road sides for the improvement of the project road. The Forest Department will be
responsible for obtaining sites and planting trees to compensate for the required tree cutting.
6.2 TREE PLANTING ALONG OXBOW LANDS
In rural areas, it is an accepted fact that the improvement of roads will result in the formation of numerous 'oxbow
lands' all along the hill sides where in suitable curve improvements and realignment takes place. The Oxbow
lands are the existing roads where the road realignments are proposed. This is similar to the OXBOW LAKES
formed during the evolution of rivers hence the name for easier identification for environmental management. The
importance of the proper management of these oxbow lands is there for an unavoidable outcome of the project.
There were many alternatives available for the highway authority. Tree planting all along these oxbow lands could
be very useful for the environmental enhancement of the region. This will help positively for tourism industry. The
Oxbow lands along the corridors are available as described in the Environmental Management Plan for individual
corridors.

7.0 PROTECTION MEASURES
The protection measures are discussed in this section
7.1 BARBED WIRE FENCING
Barbed wire fencing around the plantation area will be provided to protect the plants. Angle iron will be fixed at a
spacing of 5 m, with 3-stand stretched barbed wire.
7.2 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:
* Plantation will be made in the monsoon months (July -August)
a The height of the plants should not be less than 1 ft. and should be supplied in polythene bags which are
not to be removed until the moment of plantingAll plants supplied must be planted within three days of removal from the nursery
* Arrangements must be made to water in case of insufficient rains after planting
* 2 kgs of compost / manure are suggested for each pit before plantation
7.2.1 SHRUBS
Prior to planting it is suggested to remove all loose debris, fill up with good soil and level the area. To ensure
better growth and survival of grasses and shrubs, the surface should have sufficient layer of good quality soil (up
to 45 cms). Shrubs which are suggested for the road side and open area spaces where available should be
selected from the following and agreed with the Environmental Specialist of the Construction Supervising
Consultants Environmental Specialist:
ShrubsGarna Caroissa spinarumKarir Caparis deciduaHins Capris zeylanica
Gandhala Murra yakoenigilMalla Zizypuhs nummulariaJhau Artemesia sppJindu Xanthium stumarium
Panwar Cassia toraJangli Mirch Capsicum fruitscens
Akk lpomea gossypiolides
The Contractor will be responsible for planting of shrubs at enhancement sites and along bridge approaches
during construction phase.
7.2.2 TURFING WITH GRASSES
The Contractor will be responsible for turfing at enhancement sites and along bridge approaches during
construction phase.
The cost for the turfing along the bridge approaches and high embankments are part of the Civil construction
contract.
Grass lines are used to provide a strong surface cover at the slope but it also needs a well-prepared surface. If
grass is to be effective, then it must be allowed to establish properly on a slope which is not subject to undue
stress from erosion and mass movement in its initial stages. To ensure this the following measures are suggested
for the grass turfing.
* A cover of 25 grams of grass seed per square m. of surface will be prepared
1 OUIS Blkn'Cr (rotup. INC. ItSA 8
i liiiachal State Roads Project Ln\ ironinmeiul Management plan ( I'heog-Kharapatthar-Rohir Seetion)
* Bed will be prepared in June. The seed sowing must be carried out before the onset of
monsoon so that they yield desired results. Till the onset of the monsoon, watering of
the surface to be done by tankers with controlled flow sprinklers.
* After sowing, mulch of prepared and dried out herbs will be laid over the whole
seeded area in a thin layer so that the direct sunlight and transpiration loss may not
affect the grasses* The grass species recommended for median are Khabbal, Dhaula, Palwan, Sariala and
Kahi,
Contractor will ensure that the condition of the site is good enough for the successful establishment of grasses and
shrubs. They will also supervise all field operations like preparation of surface, sowing of grasses and quality of
grass seeds used.
8.0 TREE PLANTATION COSTS
The plantation cost has been included in the bill of quantities (BOQ) under the non civil contracts and provided in
section 8.0 of the Environmental management plan (EMP).
A tree -planting strategy is being developed which will meet all compensatory tree planting that will be cut during
the improvement of the roads including private trees. The cost provisions have been included in the EMP and
BOQ.
9.0 MAINTENANCE OF TREES PLANTED
The trees planted once will be maintained at any cost for the full growth of at least for a period of three years.
A programme of compensatory afforestation has been proposed, not only to replace the trees, which must be cut
to accommodate road widening and improvements in geometric design, but also to upgrade the condition of
adjacent areas. Trees will be re -planted at a rate of two for each one removed depending upon the location.
Tree felling in other sites such as borrow areas- will be accommodated by the Contractor in the borrow areamanagement plan.

APPENDIX 16: GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CONTRACTOR'S'CONSTRUCTION WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN'
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In Himachal Pradesh (HP) all roads are generally cutting across a number of perennial and non perennial rivers,
streams, nallahs, Khuds tributaries etc. In hilly terrain, there are many stretches of roads which are dry during
most part of the year (e.g. Theog-Chela section). Nevertheless the water requirement at the dry sections will be
much more than the other sections. Besides the surface water sources there are numerous community drinking
water sources along the project road. This include springs, PWS, HPs, wells, Shallow tube wells etc.
The guidelines provided here are over and above the provisions include in the National Water Policy and State
Water Policy. Therefore Contractor must refer to these two documents and if necessary consult the Irrigation
department who prepared the State policy.
2.0 WHY DO WE NEED A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR MEETING THE WATER REQUIREMENT DURING
CONSTRUCTION?
The availability of water for construction is very limited and this is variable through out the section. The contractor
may resort to take water from streams, rivers and other sources near by without the consent of all relevant officials
and the local communities. There is every chance that the contractor's labor force (even without the knowledge of
the Contractor ) will try to use and over use the existing community drinking water sources. In such cases
community conflict could lead to stoppage of construction work and will hinder the progress of all activities. In the
event of such occurrences there could be financial loss for the government and the people. More over the people
hardship during construction will continue and worsen.
After all, a careful planning in this regard is going to save contractor's efforts and time. A well planned construction
procedure will help the Contractor to finish the work in the scheduled date of completion.
3.0 QUANTITY OF WATER REQUIREMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION
During construction phase water will be required for the following,
* Construction work along the road (e.g. for compaction and dust suppression)* In the plant site (e.g. Batch mixers, masonry works)a Water for drinking at plant sites, and at construction camps
If applies thump rule for the minimum requirement of water then 10,000 lpd per running kilometer of work will be
taken in to account.
4.0 CONVENTIONAL WATER SOURCES
The possible conventional source for the Contractor would be the following
(a) Rivers (e.g Beas)
(b) Reservoirs (e.g. Govind Sagar)
(c) Streams. Nallahs, etc
(d) Deep bore wells etc
Other than this, there are non conventional sources. These are the harvesting of
(e) Rainwater

I limachal State Roads Project Env ironmcnial) Nlana-cment plan (I heop-Kharapatthar-Rohru section)
(f) Snow water
(h) Springs
5.0 CONVENTIONAL WATER RESOURCES
5.1 RIVERS (E.G BEAS)
Major rivers are the most conventional source of construction water that is feasible. Even then the Contractor
needs to obtain all necessary permissions prior to the extraction of water. In this case the potential impact to water
quality should be avoided. No vehicle wash shall be allowed in the river as it pollutes the river. The Petroleum, Oil
and Lubricants (POL) can pollute the river water.
5.2 RESERVOIRS/DAMS
Contractor can use of reservoir water for construction. For example in the case of Una Nerchowk, possibility of use
of Govind Sagar reservoir shall be explored. All necessary written permission shall be obtained from all authorities
who has a stake in the dam water.
5.3 STREAMS AND NALLAS
In the case of streams and nallas, Contractor constructs suitable water harvesting structure to harvest the stream
water. The dimension of the structure could be of the order of 5 m X 2m x 2m (20 m3)
For construction of this structure in the river bed, Contractor should obtain written Permission from all concerned
departments.
5.4 DEEP BORE WELLS
The scopes for deep bore wells are rather limited due to the Geomorphologic characteristics and the limited
availability of groundwater
6.0 NON-CONVENTIONAL WATER RESOURCES
6.1 RAINWATER
Rain water harvesting structures- a probable option. For construction water, in the scarcity/dry area, if required
Contractor can opt for harvesting of the rain water. For that a water harvesting structure has to be constructed.
Potential locations for a harvesting structure need to be identified in relations to the availability of water and water
catchments area. This can be constructed in the form of ponds with non-percolating tanks which can be "kacha "
tanks covering the Tarpaulins sheets at the bottom. This is not a new concept. These are being used in many
parts of the Himachal Pradesh. This will help the Contractor to extract water for this purpose for the construction
period.
6.2 SNOW WATER
Although snow water is very unconventional, this could be very important source of construction water. Contractor
will have to look for suitable location to collect snow melt water during February-March April period. This is
applicable on for the Theog- Rohru road. The potential location is Kharapatthar. Depending up on the location and
the need contractor can also see the possibility of the same near Theog area
The structure should be more or less similar to Rain water harvesting.
6.3 SPRINGS
The springs are concentrated discharge of Ground water appearing at the surface as continuous flow of water.
These area basically water table aquifer in the case of perennial springs In the case of non - perennial springs
I OUIis Berger (irotup. 1\(. I 'S\ 103
Iiiiaclial State Roads Project Fmx ironmental Varnageelnt plan ( Iheog-Kharapatthar-Rohru scction)
this is the saturated soil water the drains an area. Contractor should take permission from local communities as
wells as from the Department for the use of springs. This source is not recommended as a viable option along the
project road. Nevertheless presence of potential springs out side the road ROW along the feeder roads could not
be ruled out.
7.0 DOS AND DON'T'S FOR THE CONTRACTOR
There are a number of dos and don'ts for the Contractor as provided below;
a Contractors vehicles shall not be allowed to wash in the river or stream. This is to avoid potential
pollution from POL residues.* Contractors shall not use water from the community drinking water sources such as;
* Public water supply schemes* Community spring water sources* Community hand pumps* Community bore wells /shallow tube wells* Location of or the streams from which the community take drinking water
a Contractor shall obtain all legal approvals and clearances from the concerned departments.
* Contractor shall consult the local communities where the water source has been identified.
. If the source is a spring -check discharge, dependency in consultation with local communities.
* If the source is nalla/khurd- discharge data for the past several years need to be analysed, whether
source is perennial, or non-perennial, any irrigation scheme is running over it or not, if IPH* department
is using it, or local people using it or not. NOC* from all concerned authorities will be required.
* If the source is a major river like Beas-, In addition to the local permissions, Contractor may require
obtaining written permission from the State level authorities at Shimla.
* If the sources is groundwater (a Hand pump/bore well or open deep well)- then its chemical composition
and water related tests are required to be obtained from the competent authority and an NOC* obtained
from the competent authority is also required .* IPH = Irrigation and Public Health Department.* NOC=No objection certificate.
8.0 POST CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Once the Contractor finishes his job, this can be handed over to the local panchayath or for local communities.
The two possible alternate uses of this structure would be
local communities of this area can use the same to meet their water needs
* This could be a water hole for the wild life of that particular area.
* If the water source is snow melt water all necessary planning shall be carried out prior to the snow melt
period. This could be end February to end March.* In the case of snow melt water only local permission to establish the 'kacha Tanks' i.e. This is a cost
effective structure. A local NGO or community groups is to be introduced to execute such type of works.
So that the Contractor can obtain considerable quantity of water. In this case after the construction
phase, same local groups will inherit the structure and there by will continue to use this.
* If road passes through a plain water scarcity prone area and if no nearby water source has been
identified, transportation is uneconomic, then Contractor should go for underground water option. if it is
feasible and will not lead to a serious depletion of the source ground water.

APPENDIX 17: GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF CONTRACTORS
'DEBRIS DISPOSAL PLAN'
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This is the most widely talked about impact of road widening in the State of Himachal Pradesh. Even the common
man living on the roads side is worried about the possibility of disposal of large amount of debris towards the
valley side to his premises. This could be apple orchards, other farming areas, his house etc. On an average
30,000 m3 per kilometer of debris would be generated. The maximum possible use for the road work would be 10-
40 % depending on the kind of materials that would be impacted. If not careful the massive soil erosion could take
these loose materials in to the Arabian Sea and to the Bay of Bengal (from Giri river and Pabbar river).
Hence the Contractor should plan for the disposal of muck in such a way so that it may not harm, or create any
hindrance for the implementation of the project. It's obvious that nearly a 10 million Cub.m of muck will be cut and
removed during the hill award side widening of Phase 1 roads. During the execution phase, Contractor should plan
for its safe disposal according to the geographical status of area.
A poor planning could lead to very poor engineering practices, community conflicts and the stoppage of the work
etc that could incur huge losses to all concerned.
2.0 THE PROJECT
The Himachal State Roads Project (HSRP) is now planning to implement the phase 1 batch 1 roads. Altogether
250kms of roads would be implemented in four ICB and one NCB contracts. Where ICB is the International
competitive bidding and NCB is the national competitive biding process. The projects roads that are included in the
batch 1 are the following;
Mehatpur-Una-Amb
Una-Barsar-Nerchowk
Theog- Kharapatthar-Rohru
From the first road Mehatpur-Una-Amb road, no excess debris would be available. On the other hand this road
would require considerable quantity of borrow and quarry materials. On the other hand there would be huge
quantity of debris materials in both other two project roads.
3.0 EXPECTED QUANTITIES OF DEBRIS GENERATED
An analysis has been carried out to understand the quantum or the dimension of the issue. The expected
quantified debris materials would be 1.68 million cubic meters for the Theog-Rohru and an estimated 2.268 million
in the case of Una- Nerchowk. These quantities are quite large in terms of the space or area required for the
disposal.

L.Ouis Bergcr (iroup. IN( I .SA Ir(I
Iinachail State Roads Project Em ironmeoital Mdanagement plan (Iheog-Kharapatthar-Rohru scCtion)
4.0 4.0 POSSIBLE USES
The excavated materials that can be used for the insitu construction purposes would be limited to as low as 10-20
%. This is mainly due to the adequacy of the quality of the materials that would be generated. The expected
possible use of the materials would be for the following;
Using it as the granular sub base (GSB)
Fill material to create embankments especially of the bridge approaches and realignment
4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT USES
Other possible environmental enhancement uses could be
S To create proposed parking areas* To use the oxbow lands available on the road sides
Where in the oxbow lands are the left over portion of the project road while realigning/, bypassing or by one side
widening (RHS or LHS).
In the above in situ uses the quantity of materials required to use in the oxbow lands and the parking areas would
be substantially higher. In this case, the project can maximize the project benefits to many fold. If this is not carried
out as part of the project all the PWD land would be degraded and would be encroached by private people. In the
long run, it will be a huge loss for the GOHP and for the people of HP.
More over overall the project would remain as "incomplete" for ever. To make a complete road we must address
all issues that would be generated by the project.
5.0 POSSIBLE IMPACTS DUE TO THE EXCAVATED DEBRIS MATERIALS
If not disposed off properly what would be the expected scenario? This is described in the following sub sections
5.1 to 5.5.
5.1 OBSTRUCTION TO NATURAL WATER COURSES
The materials if not disposed off properly would be taken by the running water to the lowest portion of the valleys
creating huge obstruction to free flow of natural stream water. If people are residing nearby that would affect their
life by way of flooding or by spoiling the premises.
5.2 SILTATION IN SURFACE WATER RESERVOIRS
Most of the materials would be ultimately taken down stream through rivers and ultimately depositing in to
reservoirs leading to heavy siltation. This in turn would reduce the reservoir capacity substantially within a very
short span. This could incur huge losses to the exchequer. Desiltation is also expensive and normally carried out
after many years of operation of reservoirs in the natural circumstances.
5.3 SOIL EROSION
Massive soil erosion is the most direct impact of the debris excavation. The precipitation and the consequent run
off would erode the loose materials by way of suspension and solution. Once reached up to the main stream
courses even the big boulders would be transported down due to the steep gradients available along the stream
courses.
5.4 SPOILING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND
As a usual practice mainly due to poor planning and limited resources, the Contactor usually throw the materials to
the near by valley areas. This would be taken down to the private agricultural areas. The farmer will incur huge
losses and may even sue the Contractor. As a result the project could be stopped indefinitely leading to losses.

I limilachal State Roads 1'roject Environmental Managetncut plan I I heoo-Kharapatthar-Rohru section)
5.5 DESTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS
Destruction of agricultural crops immediately down the hill will require crop compensation there by reducing the
profit margin of the Contractor.
6.0 IDENTIFIED DISPOSAL AREAS
The Contractor should also try to make use of all disposal areas identified during the project preparation stage.
These are provided in the table 2.0.

if the road execution is an approaching hill area , semi hill area, mountainous area, rocky area then most
important is to segregate the debris into useful or non useful material. Useful means stones can be used as
construction material and non useful can be used as development of the public, social and cultural properties, as
already written above. Such as parking places, school playground, bus bays, ground near any temple,
Gurudwaras and shrine so that people participation can also be assured in the implementation of this project. So it
would be good if an NGO is introduced to perform this task more efficiently.
6.1 PROPOSED TYPICAL DESIGNS
The proposed typical designs are provided in the Appendix-21 Design drawings. Most important characteristics of
the identified locations are the requirement of retaining walls. The fill height has been fixed as two meter for it to be
manageable.
7.0 DISPOSAL AREAS IDENTIFIED BY THE CONTRACTOR
In order to maximise the profits or at least to reduce the expenditure the Contractor usually resort to his own
methods. In that process Contractor could find a number of more feasible areas.
8.0 DISPOSAL METHODS AND ITS LIMITATIONS
There are several constraints in the disposal of material in the identified locations. These are
. Disposal areas are uneven and irregular in shape in the hilly terrain
* Most of the disposal areas would require construction of retaining walls
* Disposal areas would require compaction* Disposal areas would require plantation* Would require consultation with all concerned* Would require written permission form all concerned
* Would require to transport through difficult haul roads - may require maintenance
* Need to transport safely with covered trucks using tarpaulin
* No overloading and should be in small trucks or dumpers
8.1 LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS
At each identified debris disposal locations, it is necessary to form local community groups. Entrust the duty of the
supervision and all other assistance to dumping process. Ultimately the disposed area should be compacted using
road rollers.
8.2 INFORMATION DISPLAY BOARDS
The capacity of the disposal locations, name of the location etc shall be written in an Information board at each
identified disposal locations.
9.0 PROPOSED DESIGN
Contractor need to plan the disposal in the following way.
* Identify the disposal area* Need to photograph the present land use and condition of the area
* Consult with all stake holders* Get written agreements from all concerneda Prepare a suitable design for the safe disposal
* Construct all required structures (e.g. retaining walla Planting of fast growing poplar trees on the outer portion of the retaining wall in the form of a linear wall
parallel to the retaining wall* Estimate the quantities

* Compact of the materials after disposal* Prepare a Contractors debris disposal plan with design drawings for each identified area
With regards to plan, there would be only one disposal plan with small changes for each location. Contractors
need to get approvals for specific design for each identified disposal area.
10.0PENALTIES
The biodiversity workshop on December 14 at Shimla has suggested stringent penalties for dumping of materials
in locations other than the pre-identified locations. This need to be worked out to avoid clandestine disposal in the
midnight hours. There are several cases of dumping of material randomly in many locations.

APPENDIX 18: FOREST AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN(DRAFT TO BE FINALIZED AFTER THE ONGOING BIODIVERSITY STUDIES)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A Forest Area Management Plan (FAMP) for the impacted forest area is required for effective mitigation and
enhancement measures during construction and operational phases of the project road. This will not allow any
room for neglecting/avoiding of the implement able measures. This will also define responsibilities of various
institutions in this regard. Recently Word Bank (WB) has taken stringent measures for the environmental impact
assessment and EMP requirements with the 10 Safe guard policies/Operational Policies. The project will trigger
the World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04 Natural Habitats. This requirement is the basis of the preparation of
this document. The document addressed the issues relating to the Reserve Forest areas in the PlAs as well as
immediately adjacent to the project road. The measures have addressed the design, construction and operational
phases on the project.
A plan for considering a mini biosphere plan in the region has been informally available from the Forest
department. Incorporation of effective mitigation measures is therefore necessary and important. This will be
based on the recommendations of the ongoing biodiversity studies.
2.0 STATUS OF THE WORK RELATING TO THE UP-GRADATION
The actual construction work cannot be started until all environmental clearances are obtained from varous
agencies including World Bank. The environmental clearance also includes forest clearance basically for the
required land from forest reserves. Application for both clearances has been routed through two different
agencies Viz., PCB and State Forest Department. A public hearing will be held in the affected districts and the
various activities relating to this is to be initiated. All these clearances are expected by the April 30, 2005.
3.0 RESERVED FOREST ALONG THIS CONTRACT
The PIA area of the project (Seven kilometer on either side) contains vast areas of the reserved forests and
beyond the reserved forest also, wildlifes are seen which include Leopards also. Nevertheless, there are no
wildlife areas within the PIA, therefore no special mitigation measures are required. The impacted forest sections
are provided in table 1.0.
This State Highway has a length of 80.684 km. The GOI need environmental clearance for those up-gradation
roads passing through sensitive ecological resources, which include reserve forests as well.

In addition, a number of impact mitigation and enhancement measures are required for the Forest area that will beimpacted. The forest reserves adjacent to the project road do have high faunal value. For an apprximate 1 0 Ha of
forestland acquisition the following measures are proposed.
1) Considering this aspect, the project will provide demarcation of the forest boundary with the Project road
*by providing barbed wire fencng through out the common boundary with forest reserves. This will be
provided only according to the recommendations of the ongoing Biodiversity Impact Assessment (BIA)* studies.

2) PWD is committed to compensate/plant trees according to the compensatory a forestation programme
required according to the Forest conservation Act 1980 as provided in paragraph 4.1
3) Further, contractors are to set-up construction camps and plants (Hot mix, WMM plant etc) at least five
km away from the forest boundary. In this regard;
* Adequate training will be provided to contractors.* The labour force will not allowed to enter forest reserves for the purpose of hunting, fuel
wood collection, nuts and fruit collection etc.a The debris and waste materials shall not be dumped inside /immediately out side forest
areas and other water sources.* Debris shall be disposed off according to the contractors debris disposal plan
* The source of construction water shall not be from the forest areas or immediately adjacent
(within 2 km) to the forest areas.a The construction work within the forest stretches should adhere to all international
environmental standards as laid out by the environmental management plan under the
GOI/GOHP/WB rules and regulation.
During construction, the following measures will be taken in to consideration for effective implementation.
* No construction camps or other polluting plants within five kilometres of the forest reserves.
* No blasting shall be allowed during night time* Blasting should be silent blasting along the forest reserves
* Blasting shall be confined to a particular time only. Best time would be 2-3 pm in day time.
* Hunting is strictly prohibited.a No cutting of trees from the forest reserves for any purpose relating to the construction
work nor shall the people associated with the project construction should enter the forest
reserves other than any legal requirements.* Contractor should erect appropriate sign boards during construction* After construction, the CSC/HPRIDC should advice the locations for erecting the
signboards including advance signboards notifying the forest reserves.
* Immediately after construction fencing should be carned out parallel to the forest reserves.
* Any sign/indication of forest fires will be immediately notified to all considered agencies
Immediately after construction, the contractors shall erect signboards and information boards close to the forest
boundaries according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared for the link.
6.2 NGO PARTICIPATION
Participation of NGO is required for the smooth implementation of the project. A TOR for this has been prepared
and enclosed as the Attachment - 1.
