 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to reduce the pollution load on the river, Ganga Action Plan (GAP) was launched. In
the GAP town was taken as the unit of planning. However, in view of the short comings
observed in the approach followed in the GAP it was felt necessary that the river
conservation plan needs to be revamped. To give a fresh impetus to pollution abatement of
River Ganga & its tributaries by adopting a holistic approach with river basin as the unit of
planning and management, National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) was set up in Feb
2009. Thus the objective has now shifted from town centric to river basin approach.
Anupshahr is a major town in distt. Bulandshahar UP. It is located 115 km away from
Delhi,95 km away from Noida,75 km away from Greater Noida, 55 km away from Aligarh
and 40 KM away from Bulandshahr This city is full of cultural and historical heritage. It is
located on the bank of Holy River Ganga, thousands of people take holy bath in River Ganga
through Anupshahr Ganga Ghat. The Town comprises of 25 nos. of wards and at presents
holds the population of 29700 as per the 2011 population survey data.
The Town comprises of 25 nos. of wards and for each and every ward there is a provision
for water supply line. There is no provision of private tube wells in the town. The water
supply within the area is adequate to cater the total population in different wards. The
Water Supply rate is different for the piped and stand posts connections. The 96 % of the
population is fed through proper piped water supply with the per capita rate of 120lpcd and
the remaining population which is utilizing the hand pumps and other sources will be fed
with a rate of rate of 15 lpcd.
Anupshahr town at present doesn’t have a sewerage network system. However, under
Ganga Action Plan-I, Nala tapping was done by intercepting the flow and diverting it into
two nos. of sewerage treatment Plants of 1.75 mld and 0.805 mld capacity respectively. At
present only the flow of Nalas is tapped and diverted to STP and treated water is discharged
into the River Ganga. However in the rainy seasons and the peak flow period (Mela period)
these 250mm sewer lines are collapsed and the overflow of the waste water creates the
unhygienic conditions for the people residing in the area.
The population projection including the floating population of the town has been worked
out by various statistical methods. The “Incremental Increase Method” has been adopted
9
for the population projections from all other methods as the population increase trends in
the Anupshahr town for the previous years is in accordance with the projected population
calculated from this method. The initial (2018), mid (2033) & ultimate (2048) stage
population adopted for the project are 38795, 49878 & 63635 respectively.
The rate of water supply for preparing the sewerage project has been taken as 135 lpcd
with a return factor of 0.8. Ground water infiltration has also been taken into consideration
where ever applicable. On this basis the waste water generation for initial, mid& ultimate
stage comes to4.19MLD 5.39 MLD & 6.87MLD respectively. The sewerage project has been
prepared on this basis.
The design is done by keeping in mind that there should be no requirement of IPS within
the sewerage network, apart from the main Pumping stations. The route of the sewerage
pipes is laid in such a way that wastewater mostly follows the gravity flow. The drawing
showing the sewerage network and the design sheet of the sewerage network is shown in
the later section of the report. After considering both the options, it is concluded that
option-II is more feasible than the earlier one in terms of financial and technical aspects.
Proposed sewerage system is designed for 30 years period. The major components of the
proposed project include:
The sewage network is designed to be laid down in the town considering the peak factor of
3.0; the total estimated length of sewage network is likely to be 60 kms (approx.) with
sewer ranging from 150mm dia to 600 mm dia. Non clog submersible pumps are proposed
to be provided at MPS and these pumping units are designed for the waste water flows
from the connected sewer. The capacity of each pump will be ¼ of peak flow. Six pumps will
be provided at each pumping station as the 50% standby is proposed. The rising main have
been designed for SPS in Zone-A and Zone-B for the lifting of waste water from the low lying
areas to the corresponding STPs. The design is made for the middle and peak capacities
having make of DI with dia of 300mm. There are two MPS proposed at the site located in
the plan. The existing two MPS will be dismantled once the construction of these new MPS
is done.
The Life Cycle costing (LCC) technique has been adopted to determine the most suitable
Technological option for the STP at Anupshahr. On this basis, MBBR has been adopted. This

10
option is cost effective, acquires lesser area and produces quality results.
The characteristics of the waste water carried by all the three drains in the town were
measured. The waste water characteristics’ of the samples taken from the drains is on
tower side & does not present the real picture of the characteristics of waste water
generated in the town. The STP has therefore been designed for BOD5 -220 mg/I, TSS-350
mg/I, Fecal coliform 106-109 MPN/100 ml, which are in general adopted for design of STPs
in similar towns. The Sewage Treatment Plant has been designed for year 2028 requirement
of 4.96mld capacity. Capacity of STP at Zone A& Zone B are 2.267 mld & 2.688 mld
respectively. Further modules can be added in future as & when required. The land for
proposed STP belongs to Nagar Panchayat.
The treated wastewater is very rich in terms of nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus.
Therefore, it shall be proposed to utilize it as a resource for agriculture. The treated waste
water will be carried by the RCC pipe of 600 mm dia. having length of 650 m to the River
Ganga for Zone-A and 600 mm dia. having length of 450 m for Zone-B, if it is not being
utilized for irrigation purposes.
The treated effluent is proposed to be disinfected by using a suitable methodology & then
used for irrigation purposes. Provision has also been made for staff quarters, administrative
building & lab, power connections, land for pumping station & 5 years O&M Cost etc.
As per the Environmental and Social Management Framework (NGRBA, 2011), the
implementation of such river pollution mitigation projects under the NGRBP is anticipated
to encounter a variety of environmental and social issues/problems. Therefore the study of
environment and social sector is required for analyzing the impacts of proposed project,
and suggesting the management plans to handle any negative impacts. The Detailed Project
Report and the Environmental and Social Assessment with Management Plan (ESAMP) is
being prepared on the basis of the Detailed Project Report that has been prepared by U.P.
Jal Nigam.
Most of the waste water of the town is discharged directly in the River Ganga which not
only adds to the pollution load of River Ganga but also creates unhygienic conditions in the
town, unhealthy environment & endangers public health. Therefore in order to reduce
pollution load of River Ganga and create a healthy environment in the town, pollution

11
abatement works in which a planned sewerage system is provided to the town, is a must.
The methodology adopted for the environmental and social assessment includes secondary
data analysis carrying out scoping in the field, survey of the host population and discussions
with key stakeholders including government officials, Nagar Panchayat and local residents.
Based on these outcomes, a screening activity was conducted with the help of the screening
checklist format provided in Environmental and Social Management Framework of NGRBA.
Thereafter, environmental and social impacts were identified and assessed and a mitigation
plan was developed based on the aforementioned.
The screening checklist includes criteria that details out the impact level of various activities
during the construction and operation phases. These criteria include environmental factors
such as the presence of eco-sensitive region in and around the project area, clearance of
tree cover, improper storage of excavation spoils, flooding of adjacent areas, noise and dust
levels & damage to existing utilities. Social criteria include factors such as requirement for
land acquisition if needed, displacement of habitants, and loss of livelihood and gender
issues.
Based on the criteria-wise screening activity and the categorization of potential sub projects
of the NGRBP, the present project of Sewerage work in Anupshahr town falls under low
impact category, which does not need any land acquisition and has an overall positive
impact by tapping the wastewater which was earlier polluting the river Ganga.
As a part of ESAMP, baseline study of the Anupshahr town was prepared to understand the
region's existing physical characteristics, cultural and social status of the residing
community.
While in baseline status of social section, it brings out the status of demographic
composition of the population, general land use feature of the wards and also details of the
social survey outcomes at various consultations held in different wards of the town.

Although there would not be any negative or adverse environmental or social impacts, but
these have temporary impacts on air quality (impact on health), traffic blockages, safety
hazards for pedestrians, possible interruption in commercial activity, and accidental
breakage of other public infrastructure such as water pipes.

12
These temporary impacts can be mitigated with appropriate mitigation plans, which have
been suggested in the ESAMP. The probable cost of environmental management plan, has
been estimated to be approximately Rs.70.59 lac. The details have been given in table 7.5 of
this report. The larger environmental value of the project greatly outweighs the temporary
disruptions and impacts mentioned above. The project is expected to benefit the town, as
the wastewater that currently flows untreated into the Ganga River will be arrested &
treated. The treated effluent is proposed to be used for irrigation and afforestation & may
have to be discharged into river Ganga during rainy season.

1 Introduction

The river Ganga has significant economic, environmental and cultural value in India.
Rising in the Himalayas and flowing in to the Bay of Bengal, the river traverses a course of
more than 2,500 km through the plains of north and eastern India. The Ganga main stem
- which also extends into parts of Nepal, China and Bangladesh - accounts for 26 per cent
of India's landmass, 30 per cent of its water resources and more than 40 per cent of its
population. The Ganga also serves as one of India's holiest rivers whose cultural and
spiritual significance transcends the boundaries of the basin.

Despite its importance, extreme pollution pressures from increasing population and
industrialization pose a great threat to the biodiversity and environmental sustainability of
the Ganga, with detrimental effects on both the quantity and quality of its flows.
Discharge of untreated sewage and industrial wastewater, non-point pollution sources
from religious activities along the river, agriculture and livestock as well as poor solid
waste management are the main causes for pollution in river Ganga.

1.1 Ganga clean up initiatives

The Government of India (GoI) has undertaken clean-up initiatives in the past. The most
prominent of such efforts was the Ganga Action Plan, launched in 1985 later
complemented by a similar plan for the Yamuna, the biggest tributary of the Ganga.
These programmes have faced significant public scrutiny and, despite some gains made
in slowing the rate of water quality degradation, they have been widely perceived as
failure. The main shortcomings of these initiatives were: (1) inadequate attention to
institutional dimensions, including the absence of a long-tem-basin planning and
implementation framework; (2) little effort made in addressing systemic weakness in the
critical sectors of urban wastewater, solid waste management, environmental
monitoring, regulation and water resources management; and (3) inadequate scale,
coordination and prioritization of investments, with little emphasis on ensuring their
sustainability. These programs also did not pay sufficient attention to the social
dimensions of river clean-up, failing to recognize the importance of consultation,
14
participation and awareness-raising.
The lessons drawn from these prior experiences indicate that improving water quality in
the Ganga cannot be achieved by plugging the infrastructure gap alone. Rather, any
effective initiative will have to adopt a three-pronged approach:
• Establishing a basin-level, multi-sectorial framework for addressing pollution in the
river (including national/state policies and river basin management institutions);
• Making relevant institutions operational and effective (e.g. with the capacity to plan,
implement and manage investments and enforce regulations); and,
• Implementing a phased program of prioritized infrastructure investments (with
emphasis on sustainable operations and mobilization of community support)

1.2 The Ganga River Basin Project

As a major first step in achieving the above, the Government of India (GoI) constituted
the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA), on 20 thFebruary 2009, for the
comprehensive management of the river. The NGRBA will adopt a river-basin approach
and has been given a multi-sector mandate to address both water quantity and quality
aspects. The NGRBA has resolved that by year 2020, no untreated municipal sewage or
industrial effluents will be discharged into River Ganga.
Building on the high-level dialogue with GOI on Ganga, The World Bank has been
formally requested to provide long-term support to NGRBA, through several phases of
substantive financing and knowledge support. While, the overall technical assistance and
program development under the proposed project will focus on the entire Ganga main
stem, the initial emphasis of the specific investments under the first project will focus on
main stem of Ganga flowing through five basin states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand and West Bengal in India. Specifically, pollution abatement programs in
cities on the banks of these States which would include a range of municipal investments
such as sewer networks, waste water treatment facilities, industrial pollution control
measures, river front management and solid waste disposal in the river through
improved management in these cities and other required supportive improvements. This
is expected to be enabled through several phases of substantive financing and
knowledge support.

15
 The first project of such several phases of support aims at;

1. Establishing and operationalizing central and state level NGRBA institutions capable of
planning and implementing a multi sectorial river water quality improvement
program and;
2. Reducing pollution loads into the river through selected investments.

To achieve the above, the proposed World Bank assisted National Ganga River Basin
Project (NGRBP) envisages two main components.

1.2.1 World Bank assistance

The Government of India has sought programmatic assistance from the World Bank to
support the NGRBA in the long term. This project is the first operation under this
agreement, and aims to support the NGRBA in establishing its operational-level
institutions and implementing priority investments.

1.3 Project components

The project will have two components relating to institutional development and priority
infrastructure investments. The first component would seek to build the institutional
capacity to effectively implement the overall NGRBA program, including infrastructure
investments funded by the second component.

1.3.1 Institutional development

1.3.1.1 Objective
The objectives of this component are to: (i) build functional capacity of the NGRBA's
operational institutions at both the central and state levels; and (ii) provide support to
associated institutions for implementing the NGRBA program.
The activities financed under this component are grouped under the following sub-
components:
(a) Sub-component A: NGRBA Operationalization and Program Management
(b) Sub-component B: Technical Assistance for ULB Service Providers

16
 (c) Sub-component C: Technical Assistance for Environmental Regulators

1.3.1.2 Sub Component A: NGRBA Operationalization and Program Management

This sub-component is aimed at supporting the nascent operational institutions
established for implementing the NGRBA program at the central and state levels on a full
time basis.
The NGRBA's operational institutions comprise the Program Management Group (PMG)
at the central level, and SGRCA Program Management Groups (SPMGs) at the state level.
The PMG is being established as a fully owned society of the Government of India, with
suitable structure, staff, powers and leadership, to lead the planning and program
management of the NGRBA program at the national level. It is supported and housed by
the MOEF as the nodal Ministry. Similarly, the SPMGs are being established in the form
of registered societies, to ensure effective planning and program management at the
state level.
Separating Program Management from Investment Execution: The rationale for
establishing the PMG and SPMGs is to have institutions with single point responsibility
for the NGRBA's program planning, management and long-term sustainability.

Program Management for the Entire NGRBA Program: The sub-component will provide
for initial setup costs of office infrastructure and equipment, as well as provision of
critical consultancies, incremental staffing, training, and operation costs. Key NGRBA
program management activities included under this sub-component are described below:

(a) Enhancing Ganga Knowledge Resources

(b) Communications and Public Participation

(c) Innovative Pilots

(d) Program of Action for Carbon Credits

1.3.1.3 Sub component B: Technical Assistance for ULB Service Provider

The long term operation and maintenance of the NGRBA-funded assets is the responsibility
of the ULBs and local service providers, and this sub-component is aimed at providing
assistance that can gradually enable them to take on their role.

17
 1.3.1.4 Sub-component C: Technical Assistance for Environmental Regulator
This sub-component is aimed at addressing the key constraints faced by the CPCB and SPCBs
related to their functions regarding the Ganga. The subcomponent will support:

a) Capacity building of the CPCB and SPCBs

b) Up-gradation of Ganga Water Quality Monitoring System

1.3.2 Component Two: Priority Infrastructure Investments

1.3.2.1 Objective
The objective of this component is to finance demonstrative infrastructure investments to
reduce pollution loads in priority locations on the river.

1.3.2.2 Four Investment Sectors

The majority of investments are expected to be in the wastewater sector, particularly in
Wastewater treatment plants and sewerage networks. Investments will also be supported in
industrial pollution control and prevention (e.g. common effluent treatment plants), solid
waste management (e.g. collection, transport and disposal systems), and river front
management (e.g. improvement of the built environment along river stretches,
improvement of small ghats and electric crematoria, and the conservation and preservation
of ecologically sensitive sites). Many investments are likely to combine elements of more
than one of these sectors.

1.3.2.3 The Framework Approach

In lieu of defining and appraising specific investments, the project preparation has focused
on developing investments framework covering all four key sectors of intervention under
the NGRBA program. This single framework will apply to all investments under the NGRBA
program.

The objectives of the investments framework are to:

A) Provide a filter for all the NGRBA investments, for ensuring that the selected investments
are well-prepared and amongst the most effective in reducing the pollution loads;

B) Make transparent the decision-making process on investments selection; and

C) Ensure that the investments are implemented in a sustainable manner

18
1.3.2.3.1 Framework Criteria
The investments framework prescribes the criteria and quality assurance standards covering
various aspects including eligibility, prioritization, planning, technical preparation, financial
and economic analyses, environmental and social management, long term O&M
sustainability, community participation, and local institutional capacity.

1.3.2.4 Investment Execution

The investments program will be planned and managed by the NGRBA PMG and SPMGs,
while the execution of specific infrastructure investments will be done by the selected
existing and qualified state-level technical agencies. To foster competition and tap private
sector efficiencies, the state governments with significant infrastructure investments are
setting up a public-private joint venture infrastructure company, to execute NGRBA and
other similar investments in the respective states in the medium to long term.

1.3.2.5 Rehabilitation of existing infrastructure

Investments involving rehabilitation of existing infrastructure will be included on priority,
due to their intrinsically higher returns in terms of reductions in pollution loads entering the
Ganga.

1.4 Structure of the Report
The Environment and Social Assessment with Management Plan for the Sewerage works in
Anupshahr town, Uttar Pradesh rolls out the baseline status of the existing sewage situation
and analyzes the situation if the proposed project is implemented, with its possible
implications and to negate those implications management plan is advised which is as per
the Environment and Social Management Framework.

Chapter 1:starts with the introduction of the programme to clean up River Ganga and
various mechanisms to implement the project. This chapter details out the functionalities of
the institutions involved in the project.

Chapter 2:In this chapter, specific project description is discussed pertaining to the
proposed sewerage project in Anupshahr town. This chapter provides insight into the
various components of the proposed project.

Chapter 3: This chapter of the report talks about the methodology adopted for the
environmental and social assessment included secondary data analysis and identifying
information requirements and their sources, defining the project area and carrying out
scoping in the field, survey of the host population and discussion with key stakeholders
including Nagar Panchayat at government officials and local residents. Based on these
outcomes, a screening activity was conducted with the help of the screening checklist
format provided in ESMF report of NGRBA.

Chapter 4: In this chapter of the report presents the applicable laws and guidelines related
to such kind of projects and are in accordance with the ESMF report. It gives insight to
applicable environmental and social laws including land acquisition act and forest act.

Chapter 5:In this chapter, detailed baseline scenario of the information available for city and
for sewerage in Anupshahr town is presented for both environmental and social aspects.
Baseline scenario helps to assess the situation now and provides an indication of the
scenario after the project execution. In environmental scenario it reflects the status of
environmental entities like status of climate, geological features, air quality, water quality,
waste management. As part of the social scenario, it brings out the status of demographic

20
composition of the population, general land-use features of the wards and also details of
the social survey outcomes at various consultations held in different wards of the sewerage
district.

Chapter 6:In this chapter, environmental and social impacts were identified and assessed
which details out the key issues related to safety, environmental concerns and livelihood. It
identifies issues at various stages of the project cycle i.e. during design and development
phase, construction as well as during the operation phase.

The project activities would not have any negative or adverse environmental or social
impacts. There may however be temporary and very limited impacts due to various
construction activities to be undertaken. The identified environmental impacts have further
been classified under the heads of environmentally sensitive areas, air quality, water
resources and noise quality. The social impacts have further been classified under impacts
on human health, traffic congestion, impact on livelihood, land acquisition, impact on
utilities and existing infrastructure, noise levels, safety hazards and failure to restore
temporary construction sites.

Chapter 7:The temporary impacts which have been broadly described in the ongoing
chapters can be mitigated with appropriate mitigation plans, which have been focused upon
in this Chapter of the report, along with monitoring and evaluation of future projects.
However, keeping in view that the impacts will only be temporary and short lived, it is
concluded that the larger environmental value of the project greatly outweighs them. It also
chalks out management plan with specific environmental management plan and social
management plan and also brings out cost issues related to it. For better execution of the
project it presents the consultation framework for participatory planning and also talks
about the capacity of institutions involved.

Chapter 8: This Chapter is a presentation of social development outcomes of the proposed

project and related issues. It showcases the benefits of having this project and how this
project can also benefit the marginalized sections of society. It suggests measures to extend
the benefit of the proposed activities.

21
Chapter 9: This is the final chapter concludes the inferences brought out from the
environmental and social analysis of the project activities in Anupshahr town. It also
highlights the conclusion based on the analysis which shows that the proposed project can
be categorized as low impact.

2 Project description

2.1 About the City

2.1.1 History

According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India, the founder of Anupshahr

was Bargujar Raja Anup Rai, and thus the date of foundation of present day Anupshahr was
between 1605 and 1628 (during the reign of the Moghul emperor Jahangir). Raja Anup Rai
saved Jahangir during a lion hunt, by intercepting and then helping to kill a lion that
attacked the emperor. Jahangir presented this area to Raja Anup Rai, and the city is named
after him. Anup Rai made a fort nearby.

During the period of King Tarasingh (the 8th generation from Raja Anup Singh) this area
progressed very much. At that time the area was known for Ayurvedic medicine and for
business by boats in northern India.

In 1857, during the first war of independence the town of Anupshahr was the scene of
incidents against British rule. One message of revolution was carried
from Aligarh toBulandshahr by Pandit Narayan Sharma on 10 May 1857.

The Gujjars of Dadri and Sikandrabad destroyed inspection bungalows, telegraph offices
and government buildings as they were symbols of foreign rule. Anupshahr is also known
“Choti Kashi”as it is situated at the river bank of Ganges.

2.1.2 Town at a Glance

Location

Anupshahr is a major town in distt. Bulandshahr UP. It is located 115 km away from Delhi,
95 km away from Noida, 75 km away from Greater Noida, 55 km away from Aligarh and 40
KM away from Bulandshahr.
Transport

There is no rail connectivity. To reach through rail one has to deboard at Dibai 22 km away
from the city.

23
This city is full of cultural and historical heritage. It is located on the bank of Holy River
Ganga, thousands of people take holy bath in River Ganga through Anupshahr Ganga
Ghat.In historical background Great Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati visited this place in 18th
century to raise awareness against various social evils present in the society at that time.
This city also have strong educational
infrastructure that's why it is also
known as "choti kashi".Anupshahr
has leading schools like "LDAV,
JAYPEE VIDYA MANDIR” and State
renowned "Durga Prasad Baljit Singh
PG College" and newly opened
"JAYPEE UNIVERSITY".
Figure 1 Tapped Nala Two state highways are providing
smooth connectivity to the city to other parts of UP. Bridge over Ganga provides a quick
connectivity to the area from northern parts like Bandaun, Moradabad etc.

2.1.3 Existing Sewerage Facilities in City

At present there is no separate sewerage

system in the town, the municipal
wastewater generated in the town is
discharged into the open drains which are
tapped near the bank of river Ganga and
further transported to the STP’s.

The drainage system of the town is also Figure 2 Overflow of Nala falling into the river

very poor; the storm water is transported

through the common open drains along with
domestic waste water. The condition worsens in the rainy season and general problem of
overflow of drains is encountered. The waste water finds its way to low lying areas and
creates unhygienic sanitary conditions.

24
2.1.4 Works Completed under Ganga Action Plan Phase - II (GAP-II)
3 towns namely Bijnore, Anupshahar and Chunar have been taken up under the GAP (Phase-
II) on the direction of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. A total of 21 mldwaste water
discharging in the river Ganga is proposed to be intercepted, diverted and treated in these
towns. For this purpose 3 nos. STPs are proposed to be constructed.

A total of 17 schemes proposed for these towns, 10 schemes costing Rs. 12.74 crores have
been approved by Govt. of India, out of which works of 4 schemes have been completed
and an expenditure of Rs. 4.53 Crore has been incurred up to the end of December 2005.

A detail of Work done under GAP-II in Anupshahar is enclosed as Annexure1.

25
The existing location of STPs is marked in the plan shown below.

2.2 Necessity of this project

Anupshahar town doesn’t have a sewerage network system. However, under Ganga Action
Plan-I, Nala tapping was done by intercepting the flow and diverting it into two nos. of
sewerage treatment Plants of 1.75 MLD and 0.805 MLD capacity respectively.

A proposal was issued by the Nagar Parishad on dated 02-01-2013 regarding sewerage
scheme of the town, which specifies that sewerage network has to be laid on the internal
roads has to be provided for the interconnections between the manholes used for tapping
nalas at the river bank so to avoid the overflow of waste water.

At present only the flow of Nalas is tapped and diverted to STP and treated water is
discharged into the River Ganga. However in the rainy seasons and the peak flow period
(Mela period) these 250mm sewer lines are collapsed and the overflow of the waste water
creates the unhygienic conditions for the people residing in the area.

Due to rapid urbanization and for better hygienic and sanitary conditions to improve living
standards sewerage networks along with related facilities are strongly required.

Also Anupshahr is the priority town as it lies on the bank of River Ganga and this river is the
sacred river for the Hindus. Pilgrims from many parts of the country in large quantity used
to visit this place for tasking holy dip in River Ganga, stay in the town and uses the facilities
of this town.
28
Therefore, there is a need of properly designing/constructing the sewer network and
appurtenant works in accordance with the current scenario.

2.3 Proposed City Sewerage Plan

The town is divided into two zones as zone-A and zone-B. The zoning is done in accordance
with the topography of the area. It is proposed that the wastewater generated from zone-A
will be directed towards the STP situated in zone-A with the existing capacity of 0.805 MLD
and similarly, the wastewater generated from zone-B will be directed towards STP in zone-B
with the existing capacity of 1.75 MLD.

The town possesses a tent shape profile as per the ground profile which helps the flow of
wastewater easily discharging into respective STPs in each zone.

The STP condition is fine as the year of construction of the STPs is 2005, the combined
capacity of the two existing STP’s equals to 2.55 MLD. This treatment capacity holds short
for the current discharge quantity and ultimately for the future discharge also. However no
extra land will be required for the construction of STP.On the basis of the discussion with
the Nagar Palika officers and staff, it was concluded that due to insufficient capacity of
existing treatment plants and pumping plants, there is a need of increasing the STPs
capacity.

However, the technology adopted for the treatment of waste water is MBBR Technology as
current i.e. Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor, but only the numbers of tanks are increased to
accommodate all the additional waste water which was flowing into the River Ganga directly
without any treatment from the STPs.

2.3.1 Forecasted wastewater generation scenario

The data considered for determination of sewer discharges over subsequent years is
mentioned below:

Per Capita Rate of Water Supply: 135 lpcd

Interception Factor: 0.8

29
The total quantity of waste water generated in different wards for future years is
summarized below:

· Year 2013: 3.84 MLD

· Year 2018:4.19 MLD
· Year 2028:4.96MLD
· Year 2033:5.39MLD

2.4 Proposed Sewerage Treatment Plant (MBBR Technology)

STPs are to be designed for ultimate design year capacity, but the phase wise operation will
be followed (i.e. first phase will be comprising of the construction of STP for first 10 years
capacity) year 2028. Further, on the same basis, phase wise construction and augmentation
in STP capacity will be taken up as and when needed.

The technology to be used in both the STPs will be MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor)
which is very different from the WSP at present in operation at site. However, this
technology is most feasible for the small towns as this is cost effective&the capacity can be
easily upgraded in available land.

2.5 Disposal of Treated Effluent

After treatment of the sewage in the STPs, The treated waste water will be carried by the
RCC pipe of 300 mm dia. having length of 650 m for Zone-A and 300 mm dia. having length
of 450 m for Zone-B, it is being utilized for irrigation purposes. The gravity flow has been
proposed for the supply of treated water to be used in the irrigation facilities.

The outlet pipes will off shoot from various spots to irrigate the fields and for afforestation.
The land available around the STP area is adequate enough for 100% utilization of treated

32
effluent. Besides above it is also proposed to use the treated effluent in the area proposed
for afforestation in the STP site and nearby. In the rainy season the treated effluent may
have to be discharged in to the river Ganga.

The total area to be irrigated in Zone A is 15 hectares approx. and in zone B it is 12 hectares
approx. The plan of utilizing the treated waste water for next 10 years is presented in Table
4 below.

However, the total length of network laid for the irrigation supply in Zone-A is 200m and for
Zone-B is 200m.

As per the public consultation conclusions with the people, it was observed that people will
use the treated effluent for irrigating their fields.

Govt. of India has made it desirable that at least 20 % of treated wastewater should be
raised in any form. In this case, in the absence of industries in the nearby vicinity, it is
proposed to utilize waste water for the horticulture purposes, gardening or other possible
uses to the maximum extent, if any.

It is proposed to utilize all treated wastewater for agriculture in all seasons except monsoon,
for meeting the requirement of agriculture, necessary channels and pumping, if required
shall be proposed in DPR.

The treated wastewater is very rich in terms of nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus.
Therefore, it shall be proposed to utilize it as a resource for agriculture.

Construction Methodology of STP

1. Loss of land use options

The construction of a wastewater treatment plant will involve building large embankment
structures on what is a green field site. This will result in a loss of the options for alternative
land use and thus represents an irreversible commitment of land resources.

Although the loss of optional uses for the land in the future is considered to be a negative
impact, in this case the land is marginal in terms of alternative agricultural or residential use
and the impact is not considered significant.

2. Earth material sourcing

Earth materials needed for construction (e.g. marl, sand) are normally obtained from quarry
and mining operations. Conscious or unwitting purchase of these materials from unlicensed
operations indirectly supports, encourages and promotes environmental degradation at the
illegal quarry sites and causes medium to long-term negative impacts at source.

Mitigation:

Earth materials must be obtained from officially licensed and approved quarries and copies
of the relevant licenses made available for inspection at the site by the Contractor.

3. Materials transportation

The various materials required for pond and building construction (e.g. steel, blocks,
lumber, marl, etc.) will be obtained from sources elsewhere and transported to the site.
Transportation of these materials, typically in over-laden and sometimes uncovered trucks,
usually results in undue road wear-and-tear. In the case of fine earth materials, dusting and
spillages occur on major roadways between source and site. Dusting degrades local air
quality and material spillages worsen driving conditions and increase the risk of road
accidents. These occurrences represent indirect, short-term, reversible, negative impacts on
public health and safety.

36
Mitigation:

All fine earth materials must be enclosed during transportation to the site to prevent
spillage and dusting. Trucks used for that purpose should be fitted with tailgates that close
properly and with tarpaulins to cover the materials. The cleanup of spilled earth and
construction material on the main roads should be the responsibility of the Contractor and
should be done in a timely manner (say within 2 hours) so as not to inconvenience or
endanger other road users. These requirements should be included as clauses within the
contracts made with relevant sub-contractors.

The transportation of lubricants and fuel to the construction site should only be done in the
appropriate vehicles and containers, i.e. fuel tankers and sealed drums. As far as possible,
transport of construction materials should be scheduled for off-peak traffic hours. This will
reduce the risk of traffic congestion and of road accidents on the access roads to the site.

4. Materials storage

The improper siting of stockpiles and storage of sand, gravel, cement, etc., at the
construction site could lead to fine materials being washed away, during heavy rainfall
events. This would not only represent a waste of materials but would also contribute to
turbidity and sedimentation with consequent negative impacts on water quality.

Refueling and maintenance of large vehicles and earth moving equipment will take place at
the construction site and therefore fuel and lubricants will have to be stored on the site.
This will create the opportunity for accidental spills of hydrocarbons and contaminants
could be washed into the river.

Mitigation:

The stockpiling of construction materials should be properly managed and controlled. Fine-
grained materials (sand, marl, etc.) should be stockpiled away from surface drainage
channels and features.

Low berms should be placed around the piles and/or tarpaulin used to cover open piles of
stored materials to prevent them from being washed away during rainfall. Safe storage
37
areas should be identified and retaining structures put in place prior to the arrival and
placement of material. Hazardous chemicals (e.g. fuels) should be properly stored in
appropriate containers and these should be safely locked away. Conspicuous warning signs
(e.g. ‘No Smoking’) should also be posted around hazardous waste storage and handling
facilities.

5. Modification of surface drainage

Mitigation:

The appropriate design of storm water drainage system

6. Construction waste disposal

Solid waste generated during site preparation and construction work would include cut
vegetation and typical construction waste (e.g. wasted concrete, steel, wooden scaffolding
and forms, bags, waste earth materials, etc.). This waste would negatively impact the site
and surrounding environment if not properly managed and disposed of at an approved
dumpsite. Cleared vegetation burnt onsite would generate smoke, possibly impacting
negatively on ambient air quality and human health. Vegetation and solid waste, if allowed
to accumulate in drainage ways, could cause localized pooling and flooding. Pooling of
water, in turn, would create conditions conducive to the breeding ofnuisance and health-
threatening pests such as mosquitoes. Poor construction waste management constitutes a
short-term negative impact.
Mitigation:

A site waste management plan should be prepared by the contractor prior to

commencement of construction works. This should include designation of appropriate
waste storage areas, collection and removal schedule, identification of approved disposal
site*, and a system for supervision and monitoring. Preparation and implementation of the
plan must be made the responsibility of the building contractor with the system being
monitored independently.

38
Vegetation and combustible waste must not be burned on the site. Reusable inorganic
waste (e.g. excavated sand) should be stockpiled away from drainage features and used for
in filling where necessary. Unusable construction waste, such as damaged pipes, formwork
and other construction material, must be disposed of at a dumpsite.

7. Sewage and litter management

Inadequate provision of toilets for use by workers can lead to ad hoc defecation in secluded
areas on the site, thus creating unsanitary conditions and sources of fly infestation.
Improper disposal of food cartons and other domestic forms of construction camp garbage
could lead to littering of the site and pollution of adjacent water body.

Mitigation:

Proper solid waste receptacles and storage containers should be provided, particularly for
the disposal of lunch and drink boxes so as to prevent littering of the site.

Arrangements should be made for the regular collection of litter and for its disposal.

8. Replanting and landscaping

Landscaping and replanting of trees will be needed to recreate some semblance of the
original appearance and condition of the site and to provide some aesthetic quality. No
details of landscaping plans or planting material are available at this stage but the plant
species selected for replanting will in large part determine which types of birds, butterflies,
and other fauna, if any, inhabit the area surrounding the ponds after their construction. In
addition to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the project site, landscaping provides the
means for partially restoring the site's natural elements and ecological habitats. It is
therefore a significant mitigation activity with a positive impact.

The landscaping plan should seek to avoid the use of non-native and potentially invasive
species. It should include low-maintenance local species and the types of trees and shrubs
used for feeding by local bird species. The landscape design should seek to encourage bird
life, especially for the endemics, and maximize shade.

 9. Employment/Income generation

Several categories will be required during the construction phase. This will include skilled
and unskilled labourers, engineers, and a small number of other professionals. These levels
of short-term employment would have a positive impact on the local economy and on
regional unemployment.

2.5.1.1 Land Requirement in Zone A and Zone B

The land required for the expansion in the capacity of both the existing STPs will be the only
requirement but it will be limiting to the existing campus of the STPs. No additional
requirement of land will be needed other than the existing campuses of STPs and MPS in
zone A and zone B. The new SPSs in zone A will be requiring same portion of land area but
this will be acquired from the existing MPS campus.

Considering the land requirement of 0.3 Ha/mld for the STP, the land requirement is
calculated. The following land requirement is to be fulfilled to accommodate all the
components of the project for the ultimate year 2048 is presented below:

S.no. Particulars Land available Nature of land Status

1 STP zone A 1.00 ha fields Available with EA
2 STP zone B 0.40 ha barren Available with EA
3 MPS- A 0.05 ha barren Available with EA
4 MPS-B 0.05 ha barren Available with EA

The land available with the local authorities in Anupshahr town for the STP purposes is
confined to the boundaries of the existing STPs; no additional land will be provided other
than the land available in the STP campus.

The ULB has cleared this with the issue of letter in this regard and the same is attached as
the Annexure 15 to this report.

No land has to be purchased for the construction of new SPS of larger capacity in zone-A &B;
this will be located very close to the existing SPS.

40
2.5.1.2 Land Acquisition

The land required for STPs and MPSs is already in possession of EA, there for acquisition of
land is not required to be done. There is no encroachment in the available land for
construction of STPs and MPSs at Anupshahar.

2.5.1.3 Ramsar Site

Upper Ganga River (Brijghat to Narora Stretch). Uttar Pradesh; 26,590 ha; 28°33'N 078°12'E.
A shallow river stretch of the great Ganges with intermittent small stretches of deep-water
pools and reservoirs upstream from barrages. The river provides habitat for IUCN Red listed
Ganges River Dolphin, Gharial, Crocodile, 6 species of turtles, otters, 82 species of fish and
more than hundred species of birds. Major plant species, some of which have high medicinal
values, include Dalbergia sissoo, Saraca indica, Eucalyptus globulus, Ficus bengalensis,
Dendrocalamus strictus, Tectona grandis, Azadirachta indica and aquatic Eichhorina. This
river stretch has high Hindu religious importance for thousands of pilgrims and is used for
cremation and holy baths for spiritual purification. Major threats are sewage discharge,
agricultural runoff, and intensive fishing. Conservation activities carried out are plantation
to prevent bank erosion, training on organic farming, and lobbying to ban commercial
fishing. Ramsar site no. 1574. Most recent RIS information: 2005.

Ganga stretch at Brijghat to Narora is Ramsar site, the divisional director, deptt. Of forest
vide his letter no.439/14 dated Bulandshahr,july 26,2014 intimated that area in above said
stretch 1500 m on both banks of river Ganga is Ramsar site. But, at present, management
plan is under preparation by department of forest.

 3 Approach and Methodology

As per Environmental and Social Management Frame work (NGRBA, 2011), the river
pollution mitigation projects under the NGRBP is anticipated to encounter a variety of
environmental and social problems. Hence, an environmental and social assessment with
corresponding management plans for the proposed project of sewerage works in Anupshahr
has been conducted using the following methodology:

Figure 7 Flowchart describing the steps adopted for Project Impact Assessment

A. Baseline monitoring of environmental component

In order to get an idea about the existing state of the environment, various
environmental attributes such as meteorology, air quality, water quality, soil quality,
noise level, ecology and socio-economic environment have been
studied/monitored.
B. Secondary Data analysis (Identify Information/Data Requirements and their
Sources): All the available information and data (quantitative, qualitative) regarding
the proposed project was collected mainly from the Detailed Project Report (DPR),
consultation with stake-holders. Through this secondary information a brief
description and analysis of the sub-project activities along with baseline
environmental profile of the project influence was established. Based on initial
understanding, the list of required information was drafted before conducting the
field survey.
C. Defining the project area and carrying out scoping in the field: Team undertook the
field survey and transect walk of the town to develop the understanding of the
proposed project. Field visits helped to understand the local knowledge and were
valuable in finding alternatives that help avoid or at least reduce the magnitude and
severity of adverse impacts.
D. Survey of the host population: With the help of questionnaires, local people were
interviewed in groups. A wide range of potentially affected people were interviewed
in town including street vendors, residents of households, residents of temporary
settlements, shop keepers, hospital patients, hospital staff, etc. Both men and
women were interviewed from different sections of the society. Team undertook
three field visits to carry out the survey and understand the ground situation. The
interviewees were asked about their awareness of the project, their response to it
and the project is affecting them (during construction phase) and how it will affect
them (after completion phase). Also they were asked about the mitigation plans they
have adopted or are planning to adopt, suggestions for improvement and any public
grievances. Surveys were conducted along the path of construction site. Minutes of
meeting of stake holder consultation is enclosed with ESAMP report.
E. Discussion with the key stakeholders: Most of the important key stakeholders were
interacted during informal and formal discussions with them. All the associated
government departments were visited to collect the relevant data and their
feedback on the project activities.
F. Conduct Screening: Screening is undertaken in the very beginning stages of project
development. The purpose of screening is to screen out "no significant impacts"

48
 from those with significant impacts and get a broad picture of the nature, scale and
magnitude of the issues. Team conducted screening process using the screening
checklist format provided in ESMF report of NGRBA, which is described in
subsequent section.
G. Identify and assess the impacts : Based on the analysis of the data gathered from
field survey, stakeholder interaction/ consultation and secondary sources, issues
related to the environmental and social sectors were been identified. The impacts so
identified were compared with the existing baseline environmental and social
condition of the study region. The impacts of the activities are mostly positive with
few adverse impacts.
H. Develop a mitigation plan: Based on the environmental and social issues identified,
and recommend any measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate, or
compensate for adverse impacts and improve environmental performance. The
mitigation plans is suggested in all three stages: designing phase, construction phase
and, operation and maintenance phase.

3.1 Screening Activity for Project Impact Assessment

Screening activity is undertaken in the very beginning stages of project development. The
purpose of screening is to screen out "no significant impacts" from those with significant
impacts and get a broad picture of the nature, scale and magnitude of the issues. Based on
the secondary data analysis, field assessments and stakeholder interaction/ consultation,
the screening activity was conducted as per the guidelines provided in Environmental and
Social Management Framework of NGRBA (NGRBA, 2011) as given in the Table below:-

 3.2 Conclusion of Screening Activity

In order to facilitate effective management and mitigation of the any impacts arising from
the proposed projects, the Environmental and Social Management Framework of NRGBA
(Section # 4 of ESMF report, NGRBA 2011) has grouped the pollution abatement projects/
investments into the following two categories high and low

• High: Mainly include the sub-projects which are likely to have adverse impact on the
environmental and social aspects of the project influence area (including land acquisition).
This category projects will also include mandatory environmental clearance as per the EIA
notification.

• Low: Projects which are likely to cause minimal or no adverse environmental impacts
on human populations.

Based on the screening activity and the categorization of potential sub-projects of the
NGRBP, the present project of Sewerage work in Anupshahr town falls under High impact
category being located in Ramser Area, which however does not have any private land
acquisition. In view of the above, these projects would require preparation of an
Environmental and Social Assessment, as part of the DPR, and implementation of Generic
Safeguard Management Plan (SMP), relevant to the project.

Although there would not be any permanent negative or adverse environmental impacts,
but will have temporary impacts like traffic blockages, dust, noise, safety hazards for
pedestrians, possible damage to private property, possible interruption in commercial
activity, and accidental breakage of other public infrastructure such as water pipes. These
temporary impacts can be mitigated with appropriate mitigation plans. However, the large
environmental benefit of the project greatly outweighs the temporary inconveniences.
 4 Regulations and Legal Framework

4.1 Applicable Laws and Regulations – Environmental

The following laws and regulations are applicable to the environmental and social aspects of
the investments implemented under the programme:

• Policy and Regulatory Framework of Government of India (GoI)

• Environmental Policy and Regulations of the respective State Governments

• Legislations applicable to construction activities

4.1.1 Legal Framework of Government of India

The Government of India has laid out various policy guidelines, acts and regulations
pertaining to environment. The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is umbrella legislation for
the protection of environment. As per this Act, the responsibility to administer the legislation
has been jointly entrusted to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/ State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs).

It is worthwhile to mention here that as a matter of prevalent practice once the project is
approved by the G.O.I no further consent of SPCB is obtained for establishing the STP.
However, SPCB regularly monitors the effluent parameters during O &M stage to ensure that
the discharged effluent is as per prescribed standards. However, as desired by NMCG, action
to obtain NOC from SPCB for establishing STP has been initiated. The regional officer UP
Pollution Control Board Shivpuri Bulandshahar has forwarded the case of issuing NOC by UP
Pollution Control Board to the Chief Environmental Officer UPPCB Lucknow after the UP Jal
Nigam submitted the required NOC fees & the desired application to UPPCB Bulandshahar

4.2.1 National Policies and Acts

The National Tribal Policy (2006)

The Policy has the following objectives:

Regulatory Protection

· Providing an environment conducive to the preservation of traditional and customary

systems and regime of rights and concessions enjoyed by different ST communities,
and reconciliation of modes of socio-economic development with these.

· Preventing alienation of land owned by STs and restoring possession of wrongfully

alienated lands.

· Protection and vesting of rights of STs on forestlands and other forest rights including
ownership over minor forest produce (MFP), minerals and water bodies through
appropriate legislations and conversion of all forest villages into revenue villages.

· Providing a legislative frame for rehabilitation and resettlement in order to minimize

displacement, ensure that affected persons are partners in the growth in the zone of
influence, provide for compensation of social and opportunity cost in addition to
market value of the land and rights over common property (NPV).

· Empowerment of tribal communities to promote self-governance and self-rule as per

the provisions and spirit of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act,
1996.

· Protection of political rights to ensure greater and active participation of tribal

peoples in political bodies at all levels.

 However, This act is not applicable for this project.

4.2.2 The right to fair compensation and transparency in land acquisition, rehabilitation
and resettlement act, 2013

An Act to ensure, in consultation with institutions of local self-government and Gram

Sabhas established under the Constitution, a humane, participative, informed and
transparent process for land acquisition for industrialization, development of
essential infrastructural facilities and urbanization with the least disturbance to the
owners of the land and other affected families and provide just and fair
compensation to the affected families whose land has been acquired or proposed to
be acquired or are affected by such acquisition and make adequate provisions for
such affected persons for their rehabilitation and resettlement and for ensuring that
the cumulative outcome of compulsory acquisition should be that affected persons
become partners in development leading to an improvement in their post-acquisition
social and economic status and for matters connected therewith or incidental
thereto.

Right to fair compensation and transparency in Land Acquisition, Resettlement

and Rehabilitation Act, 2013 (Not Applicable):

4.2.3 Forest Rights Act 2006

The Act basically does two things:

• Grants legal recognition to the rights of traditional forest dwelling communities,

partially correcting the injustice caused by the forest laws.

• Makes a beginning towards giving communities and the public a voice in forest and
wildlife conservation.

This act is not applicable for this project.

4.4 Environmental and Social Management Framework of NGRBA

Project has prepared an Environmental and Social Management Framework to ensure
socially and environmentally sustainable development in NGRBA’s endeavour of
Mission Clean Ganga by effective management of environmental and social issues in all
the investments with a special focus on the following:
· ensure that all investments adhere to the national, state and local regulatory requirements
during the design, implementation and operation stages
· ensure that best environmental and social practices are mainstreamed/ integrated during
design, implementation and operation of the investments
· strive to enhance environmental conditions wherever feasible
· undertake to develop communication strategy, capacity building and training initiatives
for all stakeholders such as the SPMGs, EAs, ULBs, NGOs and common citizens.
The purpose of the ESMF is to facilitate the management of environmental and social
issues of the river pollution mitigation investments. The Environment and Social
Management Framework (ESMF), therefore, would be used as an umbrella by the
NGRBA program (the PMG and SPMGs) and all implementing agencies while preparing
and/ or appraising, approving and executing the investments. The ESMF includes a
Resettlement Policy and Land Acquisition Framework (RPLAF), which specifies the
procedures, eligibility, grievance redressal and other measures to be followed in the event
that resettlement or land acquisition is required for any sub-project. As part of the ESMF,
a Gender Development Framework has been designed which will help to analyze gender

75
issues during the preparation stages of the sub-project, and to design interventions to
address women’s needs. Gender analysis will be part of the social assessment at the sub-
project level. The RPLAF, has a screening checklist to identify any adverse impact. The
project has also prepared an entitlement matrix to address the adverse impacts as given
below. The entitlement matrix is based on NPRR 2007 .

76
 5 Baseline Status

The baseline environmental and social status is important to understand the region's
existing physical and biological characteristics along with cultural and social status of the
residing community. Information and data presented in this section is based on field
surveys, stake-holder interaction/consultation and secondary data collection which majorly
include the draft Detailed Project Report (DPR) of proposed sewerage work in Anupshahr
town, Baseline generation (Water/ Air/ Noise quality/ Soil monitoring) ,town census data
and others. The information on the baseline environmental conditions forms the basis to
analyses the probable impacts of the proposed project vis-à-vis the present background
environmental quality of the core study area.

5.1 Baseline Environmental Status

5.1.1 Physiographic and Topography

Anupshahr is located at 28.37°N 78.27°E. The general topography of the town is rather
undulating. The general ground is sloping towards River Ganga. Garhi Mohalla is the highest
in the elevation with a significant level difference with respect to ground level.

The topography of the town is generally plain & slopes towards river Ganga. The huge water
body formed upstream of the barrage houses the dolphins. Upper Ganga stretch of the river
from Bijnor to Narora (165 km) is home to dolphins & forms a part of the RAMSAR Site.
WWF India has been working closely since late nineties with river bank communities and
aquatic species that could serve as a reliable indicator of the health of Ganga River. While
different strategies have been adopted by them from time to time, the focus has always
remained on the people & species.

The goal being to reduce the huge burden of pollution & other anthropogenic pressures that
Ganga River has borne particularly in the last few decades. The dolphin’s habitat parameters
in Ganga River with active participation of WWE (India) and based on their study during 2007-
2009, the population of dolphins in the study area between Bijnor and Narora was recorded
to have increased .The population of dolphins in the study area was recorded to have increase
(44 in 2007; 49 in 2008; 56 in 2009) during the project period (2007-2009). This signifies that

77
 the recruitment and growth pattern on the population is increasing. This is most likely
because of the improvement in habitat conditions, as well as in the water quality. A decrease
in the death rate between 2007-2009 could also be a factor as of death was recorded in this
stretch.

5.1.3 Land Use Pattern
According to the land use data of 2004-05, the net area sown and current fallow land was
estimated at 298371 ha. (81.75 per cent) and 2456 (0.70 per cent) respectively of the total
reporting area in district Bulandshahr. The area under forest accounted for 7726 ha (2.12 per
cent). Land put to non-agricultural uses was estimated at 49710 ha. (13.62 per cent) and
uncultivable wasteland at 5111 ha.(1.40 per cent). Grazing land and area under trees and

Figure 12 Land use & Cropping Pattern

82
orchards is negligible. The total reporting area covers 364974 ha. land in the district. It is
interesting to note that total reporting area of the district has decreased by 1.40 per cent
(5096 ha.). The forest area has also declined from 7726 ha, in 2004-05 to 7544 ha. in 2006-07
The net irrigated area in the district during 2004-05 was 263715 ha. which was 88.38 per
cent of the net area sown. Irrigation facilities are well developed in the district. The main
source of irrigation is private Tube wells which covers 220816 ha. land (84 per cent) of the
total net irrigated area. About 958 kms of canals and 199 canal tails provide irrigation to 10
per cent of irrigated area (25102 ha.) and wells account for 4.55 per cent area under
irrigation. States run Tube wells cover only 1.89 per cent area under irrigation

5.1.4 Geological and Geophysical features

The substrata of the town contain boulders, gravel, clay and sand etc. The sub soil water
level is at about 8 m depth. Anupshahr is almost flat with mild slopes towards Ganga River,
except some areas.

83
Water Quality Status

Although the Ganga flows along the entire length of the NCR fringing its eastern border, any
monitoring station has not been established. Apart from Garhmukhteshwar (Class III town),
Anupshahr (Class IV town) and Narora (Class IV Town), there are no major water pollution
issues in the Ganga Basin in this particular stretch.

Effect on Groundwater by STP/sewer lines

The groundwater near Sewerage Treatment Plant present in zone A & B is more than 5m in
depth, which shows that ground water table there will not be polluted by the presence of
STP. As per survey and studies made, it is observed that in most part of the city the
groundwater is more than 5m.For sewer lines laid in regions having shallow depth,
infiltration factor has been considered.

Figure 14 Underground Sewer Line

Moreover, for every joints provision of sealant has been taken into account in order to
prevent intrusion of sewerage into ground water. Proper jointing and provision of cradles
has also been considered for preventing groundwater pollution.

5.1.7 Ambient Air Quality

To quantify the impact of the project on the ambient air quality, it is necessary at first to

86
 evaluate the existing ambient air quality of the area. To assess the ambient air quality
level, 4 (four) monitoring stations were set up. And one day monitoring has been done
i.e. 15/1/2014.

The existing ambient air quality has been monitored and 12 air parameters are analyzed
such as Particulate Matter-10 (PM10), Particulate Matter- 2.5 (PM2.5), Sulphur-dioxide
(SO2), Nitrogen Oxide (NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO), through a planned field
monitoring. All the parameters are within prescribed limit as per EPA.

The maximum concentration of Particulate Matter (PM10 &PM2.5) i.e. 73.4 & 47.65 µg
/m3 has been analyzed in AAQ4 (Near Nav Durga Medical Store) due to commercial place,
and minimum concentration is in campus of both the STPs.

The concentration of Sulphur Dioxide& Nitrogen Dioxide is high Near Bulandshahar Bus
Stand due to emission by huge vehicular traffic and minimum concentration is in campus
of both the STPs.

Similarly the concentration of Carbon Monoxide, Lead (as Pb), Nickel (as Ni), Arsenic (as
As), Ozone (as O3), Ammonia (as NH3), Benzene (as C6H6), Benzo(α) Pyrine- Particulate
Phase are also within the prescribed limit of EPA.Location map is enclosed as Annexure 2.

Methods of Sampling and Analysis

Fine particulate Sampler APM MFC550 was used for monitoring Particulate Matter (PM2.5
and PM10); gaseous pollutants like SO2, and NO2 was collected by Gaseous Pollutant
Sampler APM 433 and CO was monitored by Serinous 30 CO Analyser with NDIR detector.

87
Method for measurement of Particulate matter, SO2 & NO2

Method for measurement of Particulate Matter (PM10) in ambient air is done by Cyclonic
Flow Technique. Particles with aerodynamic diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are
collected by a filter. Ambient air at the monitoring location is sucked through a cyclone.
Coarse and non-reparable dust is separated from the air stream by centrifugal forces acting
on the solid particles and these particles fall through the cyclone's conical hopper and get
collected in the sampling cap placed at the bottom. The fine dust (<10 microns) forming the
particulate matter (PM10) passes the cyclone and is retained on the filter paper The mass of
these particles is determined by the difference in filter weights prior to and after sampling.
The concentration of PM10 in the designated size range is calculated by dividing the weight
gain of the filter by the volume of air sampled. A tapping is provided on the suction side of
the blower to provide suction for sampling air through a set of impingers for containing
absorbing solutions for SO2 and NO2. Samples of gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.2 liters
per minute. The APM MFC 550 is used for PM2.5. This system is a manual method for
sampling fine particles (PM2.5 fraction) and is based on Impactor designs standardized by
USEPA for ambient air quality monitoring.

PM2.5& PM10 have been estimated by gravimetric method. Improved West and Gaeke
method (IS-5182 part-II, 1969) has been adopted for estimation of SO2 and Modified Jacobs-
Hochheiser method (IS-5182 part-VI, 1975) has been adopted for the estimation of NO2.

88
Method for measurement of Carbon Monoxide – NDIR method
Instrument used: Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide

This analyzer is used to measure CO in ambient air, in the range of 0-200 ppm (220 mg/m3)
to a sensitivity of 0.05 ppm 55µg/m3). The Serinus 30 combines the benefits of Micro process
control with Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectrophotometry technology.CO Concentration is
automatically corrected for gas temperature and pressure changes.

5.1.8 Noise Environment

Noise is one of the most undesirable and unwanted by-products of our modern life style. It
may not seem as insidious or harmful as air and water pollutants but it affects human health
and well-being and can contribute to deterioration of human well-being in general and can
cause neurological disturbances and physiological damage to the hearing mechanism in
particular. It is therefore, necessary to measure both the quality as well as the quantity of
noise in and around the site.

Methodology

The intensity of sound energy in the environment is measured in a logarithmic scale and is
expressed in a decibel, dB (A) scale. In a sophisticated type of sound level meter, an
additional circuit (filters) is provided, which modifies the received signal in such a way that it
replicates the sound signal as received by the human ear and the magnitude of sound level in
this scale is denoted as dB (A). The sound levels are expressed in dB (A) scale for the purpose
of comparison of noise levels, which is universally accepted by the international community.

Noise levels were measured using an Integrating sound level meter manufactured by Pulsar
Instruments Plc, Model NO. 91 (SL.No.B21625). It has an indicating mode of Lp and Leq.
Keeping the mode in Lp for few minutes and setting the corresponding range and the
weighting network in “A” weighting set the sound level meter was run for one hour time and
Leq was measured at all locations.

The day noise levels have been monitored during 6.00 am to 10.00 pm and night noise levels,
during 10.00 pm to 6.00 am at all the 5 locations, which covers residential areas, highways,
industrial areas, commercial areas, and silence zones, if available within 10 km radius of the
study area.

91
Sampling Locations

A preliminary survey was undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the
area. The noise survey was conducted to assess the background noise levels in different
zones. Gazettes Notification (S.O. 123(E)) of MoEF dated February 14, 2000 on ambient air
quality standards has different noise levels for different zones viz. project site, industrial,
commercial, and residential and silence zones.

In Anupshahr town the four locations has been identified for noise level monitoring in which
two are project sites and other two are commercial and silence zone the monitoring has
been done during day (6.00 Am to 10 Pm) and night (10:00 PM to 6:00 Am) both and after
analyzing the results, it is conclude that noise levels during day time and night are in
prescribed limit of CPCB.

Location code is given in table below and location map is enclosed as Annexure 3.

Water quality assessment is one of the essential components of EIA study. Such assessment
helps in evaluating the existing health of water body and suggesting appropriate mitigation
measures to minimize the potential impact from development projects.

The six samples have been drawn for water quality monitoring at STP inlet of both zone, STP
outlet of both Zones, Upstream of Ganga River and downstream of Ganga River with respect
to the discharge point of STPs.

At STP inlet five parameters have been analyzed i.e. which show the characteristics of waste
water in both the zones.

pH is (7.5-7.46),Total Suspended Solid (7432-7560), Chemical Oxygen Demand(as O2) (596-

690) , Biological Oxygen Demand(as O2) (226-244) and Oil & grease (9-8.4).

As mention above samples are also drawn at Upstream and Downstream of Ganga River
with respect to the discharge points of STPs in both zones to assess the changes in water
quality of river due to discharge of waste water in river.

The following parameters have been analyzed:-

1. Microbiological
As per the requirement of IS 10500:2012 the concentration of Total Coliform
Bacteria & Fecal Coliform Bacteria should be absent/250 ml but due to discharge of
effluent at various point in upstream it comes around (520/100 ml & 180/100ml) and
similarly due to discharge of waste water of Anupshahr in river the same parameter
are changed at downstream of river i.e. (630/100 ml & 220/100ml).

2. Organoleptic & Physical Parameters

Under this section six physical parameters are covered Colour (Odour, Taste,
Turbidity, pH, Total dissolve solid (TDS)).
In upstream and downstream both the concentration of all the above six mention
parameters are within Requirement (Acceptable Limit).

5.1.10 Drainage System

The drainage system of the town is also very poor; the storm water is transported through
the common open drains along with domestic waste water. The condition worsens in the
rainy season and general problem of overflow of drains is encountered. The waste water
finds its way to low lying areas and creates unhygienic sanitary conditions.

Figure 20 Drainage Pattern in whole State

5.1.11 Waste Water Management

Anupshahar town doesn’t have a sewerage network system. However, under Ganga Action
Plan-I, Nala tapping was done by intercepting the flow and diverting it into two nos. of
sewerage treatment Plants of 1.75 mld and 0.805 mld capacity respectively.
102
A proposal was issued by the Nagar Parishad on dated 02-01-2013 regarding sewerage
scheme of the town, which specifies that sewerage network has to be laid on the internal
roads has to be provided for the interconnections between the manholes used for tapping
nalas at the river bank so to avoid the overflow of waste water.

At present only the flow of Nalas is tapped and diverted to STP and treated water is
discharged into the River Ganga. However in the rainy seasons and the peak flow period
(Mela period) these 250mm sewer lines are collapsed and the overflow of the waste water
creates the unhygienic conditions for the people residing in the area.

Due to rapid urbanization and for better hygienic and sanitary conditions to improve living
standards sewerage networks along with related facilities are strongly required.

Also Anupshahr is the priority town as it lies on the bank of River Ganga and this river is the
sacred river for the Hindus. Pilgrims from many parts of the country in large quantity used
to visit this place for tasking holy dip in River Ganga, stay in the town and uses the facilities
of this town.

5.1.12 Waste generation:

Waste generation is about 200 gms per capita per day in cities with the population of less
than 1 lac. The larger the city, the higher is the per-capita waste generation rate. The total
waste generation in Anupshahr town is estimated to be 48 metric tonnes per day at present
ie. year 2014. The type of solid waste generated in the town can be broadly classified into
Municipal Solid Waste, E-Waste, Plastic Waste, Construction and Demolition Waste,
Biomedical Waste

The solid waste management in Anupshahr town is handled by Nagar Panchayat Anupshahr.
The Nagar Panchayat has provided bins at different locations in the town where the local
inhabitants put their waste for transportation & disposal. Nagar Panchayat disposes of the
solid waste in the low lying areas of the town.

Composition of Waste:

103
Indian mixed waste has a large proportion of compostable material and inerts. As per NEERI
studies, compostable matters range from 30% to 57% and inert materials from 40% to 54%.
The component of recyclable material is between 5% to 10%.

Waste Management during festivals/Melas:

During the span of festival/melas, the population of the town increases temporarily,
resulting in the increase of solid waste generation. At present, the only thing adopted to
cater this situation is increasing the number of trips of the transportation vehicles to the
dumping site. However no management plan is prepared for the particular span which
results in the collection of large amount of solid waste at the collection points for the longer
duration of time.

Technology adopted for storage, collection, transportation and disposal of waste

The solid wastes collected from 26 localities are dumped on the bypass road but this is
temporary location, final location has not been decided. Recyclable waste material is also
not segregated at source and is disposed of on the streets, along with domestic, trade and
other wastes. Construction and demolition wastes also pose a serious problem as these
wastes are also deposited on the roadside or open spaces, obstructing traffic and causing
nuisance.

Primary Collection

There is no system of primary collection of waste in the town. The waste thrown on the
streets is, therefore, collected from the streets and/or from the street bins, which are
inadequate in number and ill designed.

Waste Storage Depots

Open sites or cement concrete bins, metal bins, masonry bins and structures are used for
temporary bulk storage of wastes. These bins are very unhygienic and necessitate multiple
handling of wastes. Waste is more often seen outside the bins than inside them. They are
not cleared daily.

Street Sweeping

104
Street sweeping is not carried out regularly. Several streets are occasionally swept or are
not swept at all. No sweeping is done on Sundays and public holidays in many cities. The
tools used for street sweeping are also inefficient and outdated.

Transportation of wastes

Transportation of waste is done through a variety of vehicles such as bullock carts, three-
wheelers, tractors. Most transport vehicles are loaded manually and utilized in one shift
only, although the number of transport vehicles is inadequate.

Municipal solid waste is heterogeneous in nature and consists of a number of materials

generated by various activities.

MSW disposals and treatment

The two leading innovative mechanisms of

waste disposal being adopted in India
include composting (aerobic composting
and vermi-composting) and waste-to-
energy (WTE) (incineration, pelletisation,
biomethanation). WTE projects for disposal of MSW are a relatively new concept in India.
The following techniques can be followed to deal with the solid waste scenario of the town.

1. Landfilling
2. Recycling of organic waste
3. Vermicomposting

105
 5.2 Tourism
Anupshahris an old town famous for pilgrimages situated on the river Ganga. Several
religious bathings and festivals are organized all the year round. The town was named after
Raja Anup Rai Bargujar. Anupshahr is also called as Mini-Kashi due to river Ganga.
Anupshahrhas historic value and infrastructure support like banking, civic amenities,
dhramshalas, ghaats for Holy in Ganges, Dedicated Ghaats for women. A complete River
front development project will help to recreate and upgrade the existing status. Solid waste
and sanitation projects should also introduced to improve the overall condition of the
tourist to make it tourist friendly.

5.3 Environmentally Sensitive Zone
Anupshahr falls in the Ramsar Site which is highly environmentally sensitive. The
stretch of river Ganga at Anupshahar houses the dolphins. The 1.5 km stretch on either side
from the centre of river Ganga from Brij Ghat, Anupshahar to Narora falls under RamSar
Site. During discussions held with WWF India, they informed that they have been working
closely since late nineties with river bank communities and aquatic species that could serve
as a reliable indicator of the health of Ganga river. While different strategies have been
adopted by them from time to time, the focus has always remained on the people &
species, the goal being to reduce the huge burden of pollution & other anthropogenic
pressures that Ganga river has borne particularly in the last few decades. The dolphin
habitat parameters in Ganga river at Anupshahar, as informed by them during discussions,
are tabulated below:

Table: 5.1 Dolphin habitat parameters in Upper Ganga river (Narora- Anupshahar)

As a result of the active participation of WWE (India) and based on their study during 2007-
2009, the population of dolphins in the study area between Bijnor and Narora was recorded
to have increased .The population of dolphins in the study area was recorded to have
increase (44 in 2007; 49 in 2008; 56 in 2009) during the project period (2007-2009). This
signifies that the recruitment and growth pattern on the population is increasing. This is
most likely because of the improvement in habitat conditions, as well as in the water
quality. A decrease in the death rate between 2007-2009 could also be a factor as o death
was recorded in this stretch.

5.6.2 Biological Environment

There are no important or archeologically identified gardens/ parks in town. However the
region has small residential parks provided by municipal bodies, which will not be
threatenedby the proposed sewer works, since the sewers are planned to be laid in the
middle of theroad and will not pass through these areas.

Tree Cover: Trees can be seen along the road side in almost all parts of town. Practically
none of the trees will be disturbed nor damaged (tree cutting), since they are located on the
edges and sides of roads, away from the center, along which the sewers are planned to be
laid.
Agriculture: There is no agricultural practice in town. This district is the core city area with
mix of residents, commercial areas, institutes, hospitals etc.
Literally environment stands for the totality of surrounding conditions. Animals and plants
form a vital part of this sum total. Flora and fauna of an area are inter-related to each other
and have a very crucial impact on human life. With changes in environmental conditions,
structure, density and composition of plants and animals undergo changes as well. The
present study was carried out in two separate headings for floral and faunal community.

Flora: Presently there is no forest cover in and around the town. The project site is mostly
residential area and does not have any protected or reserved forest area. The site also does
not fall under India’s notified ecological sensitive areas.

Fauna:

The wild animal species that are mostly found in Anupshahar, are Jackal, Fox, Hare,
Neel Gai around the town. The Ganga supports rich Fauna and Flora, including the
endangered Ganga river dolphin (Platanista gangetica) and at least nine other species of
aquatic mammals. Reptile includes three species of crocodile along with one species of
monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis) and eleven species of fresh water turtles. The Ganga
river dolphin is a true river dolphin and is extremely rare and thus considered ‘endangered’
by the IUCN. The Ganga river dolphin is important not only because it is endangered, but
perhaps more so because it is reliable indicator of the health of the Ganga, in fact the whole
Ganga river ecosystem. This is why the Government of India declared it as the National
Aquatic Animal in 2009.

Just like the tiger in the forest ecosystem, the Ganga river dolphin is an indicator species for
the river ecosystem. It is at the apex of the food chain. It is an endemic and rare charismatic
mega-fauna found only in the Indian subcontinent. At the same, time it is a part of our natural
aquatic heritage 165 kilometer reach of river Ganga from Bijnor to Naroa is rich in
biodiversity and the only promising habitat for the elusive species such as Ganga river
dolphins, smooth coated other and Muggar crocodile.

Besides above, a number of migratory birds can also be seen during winters at Anupshahr.
Rare Indian Skimmer Saras, Cranes and other birds love to visit Anupshahar every winter.

5.6.3 Socio Economic Baseline
Socio-economic impact assessment of the study area of a project is pre-requisite before the
project is put into implementation. The study area consists of the core area where the
proposed project is expected to come up and a buffer area encircling the core area. The
government of India has since made mandatory a “likely impact assessment” study for all
types of upcoming and expansion projects. Socio-economic impact assessment is a
technique to get acquainted with social, cultural and economic conditions of stakeholders,
which includes individuals, groups, communities and organizations.

Cultural significance

The distance between Anupshahr and Bulandshahr is 42 km. Anupshahr is easily accessible
from Bulandshahr by a car or bus.

Anupshahr is quaint town located on the ghats of River Ganga in Bulandshahr district. Best
time to visit Anupshahr is in February, March, October, November and December.
Anupshahr is very popular with the pilgrims especially during annual festivals like Kartik
mela. Anupshahr has been dubbed as “Choti Kashi”. Locals conduct evening aartiand offer
prayers on the banks of River Ganga, pilgrims and locals take baths in the holy
river. Anupshahr has several Hindu temples and guest houses to accommodate the pilgrims
and tourists.

A grand Mela is organized on the eve of Kartik Poornima when peoples use to come for holy
snan in Ganges River & purchase their essential commodities by staying in Anupshahr
city.Besides of this Mela there is a Holy Snan on every Poornima & Amavashiya & Ganga
Dassera

Anupshahr holds testament to the bold uprising of the locals against the British during
India’s War of Independence. Anupshahr is an ancient town founded in the 17th century by
Raja Anup Rai and it reached its most prosperous era during the reign of King Tara Singh.
King Tara Singh made Anupshahr a significant hub for the practice of Ayurvedic medicine.
Legends have it that Anup Rai had saved the life of Emperor Jahangir during his lion
expedition, pleased the Emperor had gifted this area to Anup Rai. King Anup Rai then
established a town and fort in this area.

In historical background Great Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati was visited here in 18th
century to raise awareness against various social evils present in the current society at that
time.

Anupshahr have leading schools like "LDAV, JAYPEE VIDYA MANDIR" etc.
Colleges like State renowned "Durga Prasad Baljit Singh PG College" and
above all newly opened "Jaypee University".

Details of social survey

The approach and methodology followed for social baseline study as well as the social survey
has been discussed in the earlier Section of the report Consultation with stakeholder
consultations were performed during the field surveys to assess the situation and get the
feedback about the project from all the concerned stakeholders. Household owners & other
stake holders in 8 out of 11 wards were consulted, additionally other important set of
locals interviewed or consulted were pedestrians, shop-owners, school teachers, etc.
Some of these wards have academic and government institutions and most of them are
residential in land use.

All the local stakeholders were enthusiastic & had a positive gesture about the oncoming
sewerage project. Household’s survey were from both rich and poor localities. Most of the
household have access to drinking water facilities and electricity and some of the houses
have toilets as well, but since there is no sewerage system most of the waste water flows
directly in river Ganga. People, who were interacted with, were hopeful that the sewerage
scheme will improve the environment of the area & will have a positive impact on their
hygiene and health. They were also positive about taking sewer connections once the project
is implemented. They were also more concerned to do away with the present system of
discharging their waste water directly in the drain. They were hopeful that this would be
done away with after taking sewer connections & thus the overall environment of the town
would improve.

The Detailed analysis of the questionnaire is presented in the chapter 8 of this report.

 6 Environmental and Social Impacts

This section addresses the basic concepts and methodological approach for conducting a
scientifically based analysis of the potential impacts likely to accrue as a result of the
proposed project. The Impact Assessment for quite a few disciplines is subjective in nature,
and cannot be quantified. Wherever possible, the impacts have been quantified and
otherwise, qualitative assessment has been undertaken. The proposed sub-project consists
of activities which include:
• Construction of approximately 60 km (approx.) long sewerage network
including all required trunk/ branch/ lateral sewer for year 2048.
• Construction of main sewage pumping stations for year 2048.
• Construction of 2 sewage treatment plant of 1.5 and 1 MLD capacity for year
2028.
Pollution abatement projects may prove beneficial for the environment and society or they
may have some adverse impacts as well. Planners and decision makers have realized the
importance of understanding the consequences of any such projects on both environmental
and social sectors, and have started taking steps to avoid any adverse impacts. Based on the
major findings obtained from the field visits and secondary data analysis, the possible
environmental and social issues with reference to the proposed sewer works in Anupshahr
has been discussed in these sections.

6.1 Environmental Impacts

The proposed project of sewer works in town would influence the environment in three
distinct phases:

· During Designing phase

· During the construction phase which would be temporary and short term;
· During the operation phase which would have long term effects

127
 6.1.1 Design and Development Phase
Sewer lines

All sewer lines including trunk, lateral and branch sewer lines must be designed considering
the future population and waste generation rate. Otherwise the constructed sewer may not
carry the waste load, leading to failure and financial loss. The alignment of sewer lines and
sewerage pumping station must be properly planned; else it may lead to both technical and
social problems along with environmental issues of back flow creating foul smell and
unhygienic conditions.

Sewerage Treatment Plant

Selection of a suitable technology for sewage treatment is governed by many factors such as
the location of STP, availability of land area, raw sewerage characteristics, capacity of plant,
required effluent quality, proven technology and reliability of process, intended disposal
method or reusing the treated effluent, capital cost, O&M requirement and other local
factors.

Comparative analysis of various technologies considered for selection is given in Table 6.1.

6.1.2 Impacts during construction phase

The proposed sub-project consists of two major activities which include:

· Construction of approximately 60 kms (approx.) long sewerage network including all

required trunk/ branch/ lateral sewer.
· Intermediate Sewage Pumping Station

The construction activities would generally include earthworks (excavation, filling,

shuttering, compacting), temporary diversion of existing sewer lines, civil construction
(sewer lines, STP, SPS, etc) and E & M installation and commissioning. The impacts of these
construction stage activities on the various environmental parameters are examined below:

6.1.2.1 Environmental sensitive areas

Based on observations and findings from field visits, interaction with government officials
and consultation with local residents, an assessment of the environmentally and ecologically
sensitive areas was made (Refer to screening checklist Table 1).

The project area falls under Ramsar site which is a sensitive area from the ecological point
of view, but it is not a protected area under wildlife protection act 1972. Prior to
implementation of the proposed project, the previous study of WWF indicates that:

1. The number of Dolphin from 2007 to 2009 has increased between Bijnor to Narora
along Ganga main stream 44 to 56.

129
 2. D.O. level of river Ganga at Narora upstream and downstream of the main drain
discharging into it is 6.8 mg/l and 6.6 mg/l respectively which is within the
Dolphin habitat parameter

Therefore even with the present condition, the project area provides a preferred
habitat location for Dolphins and it is expected that with the treatment of waste water
the habitat condition for dolphin will further improve and hence the project overall
will have a positive impact.

As explained in section 5.1.10 of baseline environment status, town does not have any flora
and fauna components; there are no nearest eco-sensitive areas such as National Park and
wild life sanctuaries within a 100 km from the proposed project site. However the region has
small residential parks and road side trees, which will not be affected by the proposed
sewer works, since the sewers are planned to be laid in the middle of the road and will not
pass through these areas. With regard to sensitive aquatic areas and water bodies, there are
none. It was also observed that the major land use pattern of town is residential, with no
agricultural and no forest areas.

6.1.3 Air quality

Based on the field observation and interaction/consultation with stake-holders, it is
expected that the levels of dust (RSPM and SPM), carbon mono- oxide (CO), hydrocarbons
and NOx (NO &NO2) is likely to increase during the construction phase mainly because of:

· Excavation, backfilling, compaction activity and movement of vehicles on un-paved

roads (increases dust level)
· Vehicle exhausts from construction machinery and from light and heavy vehicles for
transportation of pipes and construction material like cement, etc (increases NO2).
· Use of portable diesel generators and other fuel fired machinery, and (increases CO).

6.1.4 Noise levels

The proposed construction activities are expected to increase the noise levels mainly due to
plying of construction vehicles, pumping machines, use of portable generators, mechanical
machinery such as cranes, riveting machines, hammering etc. These activities will occur
round the clock and the noise pollution thus created may affect human habitations,
particularly during the night time. Increase of noise level at night may produce disturbances,
130
causing sleeplessness in people in the vicinity of the site in case construction activity is
extended into the night hours. As per the baseline environmental status, the noise levels in
town are expected to be within permissible limits as the area is mostly residential and has
limited commercial, and no industrial area. Facilities that are expected to feel the temporary
impacts more than others include schools/colleges.

6.1.5 Water resources

From field visits, interactions and consultations, it was found that there were no water
bodies in the project area. The natural drainage channels of the project area are likely to be
affected in the following ways:
· Direct discharge from construction activities - If the construction wastes and
construction related material are not properly handled/ managed, then certain
impurities like suspended particles, pollutants like oil, grease, cement etc, may find
their way to the river, storm drains during rainfall. There may also be temporary
blockage of drains due to unmanaged material and construction debris.
· Flooding is likely during monsoon as drainage paths could be obstructed and
redirected by the debris; this concern was also voiced by residents. During
construction of sewerage works in town, there may be flooding due to the already
blocked state of drains and nalas, due to poor solid waste management.
· The excavation activities will be carried out up to a depth of 8 m or so, and will not
impact the groundwater levels of the region since a provision for dewatering and
lowering of water table has been made in the detailed project report.

6.2 Impacts during operation phase

6.2.1 SENSITIVE AREA

The project area falls under Ramsar site for which necessary management plan
is being prepared by the forest to department. The expected impacts from the
operation phase of the project is mostly positive to the Dolphin habitat since the
water quality of Ganga is expected to be further improved from the project
(which is at present having DO level in the range of 6.6-6.8mg/l). However, care
need to be taken to ensure that the noise level from various project facilities like
SPS, STPs are well within the permissible limits for the sensitive area as per the
guidelines of CPCB.

131
As part of the NGRBA programme, Dolphin status surveys are proposed in UP and are in
process of sanctioning which will also be repeated by the forest department on regular interval
(one in 3 years). The present Dolphin concentration in the area (23 in number) will thereby to
be monitored by these status surveys. Corrective actions may need to be taken if Dolphin
number are decreased over a period of time.

6.2.2 Water environment

Water resources in the project area would be the most positively benefited by the
sanitation project since additional sewage will now be routed to the STP. Therefore proper
operation and maintenance mechanism must be followed for efficient working of the
system. The probably environmental impacts related to water during operation stage may
include unpredictable events such as:
· Temporary flooding of adjacent areas due to accidental leakages/bursts and also
due to blockages and backlogging of lines.
· Water pollution and possibility of mixing with water supply line due to leakages/
overflows from the sewer lines.
· Impairment of receiving water quality in surface/sub-surface source due to
inadequate /inefficient sewage treatment process.

6.2.4 Noise and air quality

Improper handling and irregular maintenance of operating machines including pumps,
generators, air diffusers, etc. may lead to increased noise pollution during operation
activity. There will also be minimization of gas being emitted from the sewage drains, since
during operation, most of the works will be laid underground.

6.3 Potential Social Impacts

The proposed project of sewer works in town would influence the social sector in a distinct
phase of construction period which would be temporary and short term.

6.3.1 Social Impacts

6.3.1.1 Impact on human health

One of the potential impacts of the proposed sub-projects will be on the air quality due to
the dust generated during excavation and tunneling. The amount of dust generated will
depend upon the level of digging and the prevailing weather conditions and can have an
adverse impact on the health of the persons residing or working near the project sites. Since

132
the town has more of residential land use, the number of people who will be affected is
more. Residential population includes more vulnerable groups such as the elderly and
children.

The main residential areas of Anupshahr is given below:-Delhi Dwar, Meera Anshik, Nehru
Ganj, Delhi Dwaar Anshik, Nehru Ganj, Madaar Dwaar, Jama Masjid , Nehru Ganj Anshik
Meera Delhi Dwaar Anshik , Meera Anshik Madaar Gate and Nehru Ganj anshik

6.3.1.2 Traffic Congestion

Due to the excavation work which will take place on the main roads of the city, there will be a
disturbance in the traffic movement. People may suffer some inconvenience during the
morning and evening peak hours. This issue is discussed in the DPR, and suggests de-routing
of the traffic as the mitigation measure.

6.3.1.3 Impact on livelihood

The excavation and tunneling work will lead to road blockage and as a result the commercial
establishments and vendors will have some trouble in operating their business on daily
basis. But there will be no loss of livelihood. Ambulatory vendors can very well shift their
place as and when required. So, overall no loss of livelihood is anticipated during the survey.

6.3.1.4 Impact on existing utility services

The road opening activities may damage the underground water pipelines or electricity poles
in the vicinity of the site for the proposed sub-projects. This will lead to water supply
interruptions, disruption in electricity supply and will involve expensive repair costs.
Flooding of areas could also occur. Officials of UP Jal Nigam stated that they receive some
complaints about water line brakeage during the construction phase. With no other
alternative source readily available, people have to buy water from private tanks or buy
bottled water for drinking purpose till the time service is restored to normal. The DPR also
notes impacts on utility services as a potential issue.

6.3.1.5 Elevated Noise Levels

Increase in noise pollution due to construction from construction equipment. This will
disturb residences, and especially schools and institutes in and around Civil Lines area,

133
Medical College area, etc. For elderly and students, noise is disturbing and affects their
comfort. This could be a problem especially in sensitive areas like school and hospitals.

6.3.1.6 Failure to Restore Temporary Construction Sites

Excessive debris, trash or construction remnants (e.g. dirt piles) would create problems
related to drainage, unhygienic conditions and poor aesthetics; however, clean-up and
debris clearance is budgeted in the DPR so this should not be a concern.

6.3.1.7 Land Acquisition

No land acquisition is proposed in this project hence no relocation would be needed.

6.3.1.8 REUSE OF TREATED EFFLUENT

Based on the enthusiasm and readiness the farmers shows during various
consultations, meeting conducted with them to discuss the issue of reuse the treated
effluent for irrigation purpose, it is clearly evident that the effluent will be recycled.
The network for achieving the 50 % of treated waste water used for irrigation purpose
in first five years and 100 % reuse of next 5 years of operation period will be adopted.
The required written consent from potential end users has already taken. Provision to
use is being made in the mitigation and management plan.

6.3.1.9 DISPOSAL OF STP SLUDGE

The sludge collected from STP will be stack within STP campus for short duration,
which will ultimately be sold/ distributed to farmers as manure. After drying, the
composted sludge as a soil conditioner in agriculture and horticulture returns carbon,
nitrogen, phosphorus essential for plant growth. Reuse may still be possible for
purposes such as highway landscaping or for landfill cover.

The garbage, brick bats, polyethylene waste screen out at screen chamber of pumping
stations will be screen out periodically and collected in the campus to dry. This waste
ultimately disposed of at solid waste disposal site as designated by Nagar Palika
Anupshahr.

Conclusion
Based on the overall secondary data analysis and field investigation, the proposed project is
expected to benefit the Anupshahr town, as the wastewater that currently flows untreated
into the Ganga river will be captured, treated and the remainder of the treated effluent will

134
be allowed to flow into the river. The likely
beneficial impacts of the projects include
• Improvement in sewerage collection and
treatment within the cities/towns
• Prevention of storm drains carrying sanitary
sullage or dry weather flow
• Prevention of ground water and soil
pollution due to infiltration of untreated liquid waste
• Prevention of discharge of untreated sewage
into River Ganga
• Improvement in water quality of River Ganga,
a national resource
• Improvement in environmental sanitation
health and reduction in associated health
hazards within the cities/towns
• Improvement in quality of life, human dignity and increased productivity
• Reduced nuisance of open defecation due to low cost sanitation and reduced malarial
risks and other health hazards
Although there would not be any permanent negative or adverse environmental impacts,
but will have temporary impacts, that can be mitigated with appropriate mitigation plans.
However, the large environmental benefit of the project greatly outweighs the temporary
inconveniences.

135
 7 Mitigation and Management Plan

7.1 Environmental Management Plan

Table 24 summarizes the environmental management plan for low category investment that
identifies the potential issues of various activities that are anticipated in the design and

7.3 Environmental Monitoring Plan
The Environmental Monitoring Programme has been detailed out in Table 7.3.
Successful implementation of the Environmental Monitoring Program is contingent on
the following:
· The Project Management Consultant (PMC) along with Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam to
request the Contractor to commence all the initial tests for monitoring (i.e. for Air,
Water Quality and Noise Levels) early in the Contract to establish 'base' readings (i.e.
to assess the existing conditions prior to effects from the Construction activities
being felt);
· The PMC along with Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam to request the Concessionaire /
Contractor to submit for approval a proposed schedule of subsequent periodic tests
to be carried out;
· Monitoring by the PMC's Environmental Officer of all the environmental monitoring
tests and subsequent analysis of results;
· Where indicated by testing results, and any other relevant on-site conditions, PMC
to instruct the Concessionaire / Contractor to:
o Modify the testing schedule (dates, frequency);
o Modify (add to or delete) testing locations;
o Verify testing results with additional testing as/if required;
o Require recalibration of equipment, etc., as necessary; and,
o Request the Concessionaire to stop, modify or defer specific
construction equipment,
o Processes, etc., as necessary, that are deemed to have contributed
significantly to monitoring readings in excess of permissible
environmental "safe" levels.

 7.4 Social Management Plan

7.4.1 Social mitigation plans during construction phase

Based on the identified social issues, doable mitigation plans are proposed. Some of these
measures are already listed in the DPRs, and some of them are additionally recommended
for social development of the project and the concerned stakeholders.

1. Impact on human health

Mitigation Measure: Acoustic enclosures or hoardings can be constructed at the proposed

sites.

Mitigation plan involves the erection of temporary enclosures around construction sites.
These barriers will help entrap some of the dust that is brought up in digging. They will also
provide safety benefits, to be detailed below. According to the interaction/consultation
with the key stakeholders, it was said that contractors are doing water sprinkling in the
construction area.

2. Traffic Congestion

Mitigation Measure: Re-route traffic whenever possible and employing traffic police to
manage the traffic movement.

Traffic must be re-routed to facilitate ease of movement. Proper signage should provide
detailed information on the dates and duration of road closures and which detours will be
available, ideally well in advance of actual construction so residents can plan accordingly.
Strategic placement of traffic police at critical intersections will also facilitate better flow of
traffic. Plans and budget for these measures are already included in the DPR.

3. Impact on livelihood

Sewer constructions will invariable lead to road closures, which will adversely affect shops
on those streets. The first priority is for the contractor to take the necessary measures to
ensure that pedestrians always have access to shops, vendors, etc. For mobile vendors, this
may include adjusting the location of the cart, etc. to a similar location in the immediate
vicinity of the original location for the duration of the project. Projects should also proceed
on schedule so as to minimize disruption.
Additionally, clean-up of debris and clearance of blockages should commence immediately
after project completion so as to remove any potential obstacles that might prevent
customers from accessing businesses or other disruptions.

In the event that the contractor, despite best efforts, is unable to avoid blockages of the
roads and/or disruption of local businesses, some compensation is necessary. The ESMF
currently mandates compensation only in the case of permanent livelihood loss or
displacement and provides no provisions for livelihood loss of mobile vendors. Additionally,
no regulation, policy, guideline, etc. exists which can provide precedent or guidance in this
instance. ESMF clearly states that mobile/ambulatory hawkers: fruit cart vendors, etc. who
can easily relocate fall into this category. These vendors are most eligible for a temporary
relocation just outside the construction area, and will thus not be eligible for compensation
as is the case for this proposed project.

However if during the construction of the project any party faces livelihood loss due to the
proposed project, then that party should be compensated according to the entitlement
matrix given in the ESMF report.

4. Impact on existing utility services

Mitigation Measure:
• Circulating the layout plans of the existing underground alignment near the
work site
• Contacting the relevant department in case there is any damage to any of the
utility services andensuring prompt fixing/replacing ofdamaged infrastructure

Temporary shifting of power/water lines for construction purposes is already budgeted for
in the DPR. Nevertheless, all construction personnel must receive detailed layout plans of
existing underground structures to prevent accidental water/electricity supply disruptions.
The relevant departments should also be made aware of the timing and location of digging
near supply lines so they can make the necessary preparations to respond swiftly to
disruptions.

169
 5. Safety hazards

Mitigation Measure: Fencing of the excavation site and providing proper caution sign
boards. As mentioned above, fencing should be erected around construction sites and
appropriately marked with caution signage. These fences/signs should remain in place even
if construction is not active, so long as a hazard (e.g. open pit) remains.

6. Elevated Noise Levels

According to UP Jal Nigam officials, construction will take place after school hours or at
other times of school closing to avoid interfering with school functioning sensitive locations.
Beyond that, construction must simply proceed in a deliberate and judicious manner to
avoid unnecessary noise pollution. Noise barriers will be placed near sensitive receptors like
hospitals and schools

7. Failure to Restore Temporary Construction Sites

As mentioned above, provisions to rehabilitate roads and clear debris are already included
in the DPR.

8. Public Notice: According to the suggestion given by locals during the interview.
Government and contractor should give a prior notice to each and every locality with the
details of project, street wise start date of construction and street wise end date of
construction, contact person during emergency. This information would help them better
adjust to the situation and make necessary adjustments and provisions.

9. Health Programme for Workers: If un-sanitary conditions prevail at labours camp,

health programmes for their well-being should be implemented.

7.4.2 Social mitigation plans during operation phase

Noise pollution due to improper handling of machines: proper O&M should be carried out
during the operation phase to ensure least disturbance is caused to the neighboring
residents.

7.4.3 Consultation Framework for Participatory Planning and Implementation of

Mitigation Plan
Relevant stakeholders, especially community members (residents, shop owners, etc.)
may be informed about the details of the proposed mitigation plan. A public

172
consultation may be conducted where the mitigation plan is presented, and feedback
solicited from the community. Individual meetings with other key stake holders -
government officials, relevant NGOs, etc. could be scheduled to solicit their feedback as
well. Once construction begins and the mitigation plan is put into effect, third party
audits should be taken up so as to evaluate the efficacy of the mitigation plan, as well as
gauge local sentiments related to the construction and identify/address new issues that
may have arisen during construction.

Stakeholders that should be involved in planning and implementation of the mitigation

plan include;
· Decision makers, policy makers, elected representatives of people, community
and citizens, NGOs etc;
· Staff of executing agency, implementing agencies, GPCU, etc.
· Officials of the revenue departments, social welfare department etc; and
Representatives of the various state government departments, as required.

7.4.4 TRANSPARENCY AND CITIZEN VOICE

Besides the activities mentioned in the above para, it is essential for the success of the
project that complete transparency about it is maintained. Citizens voice about the
project shall be heard & all the grievances of the stake holders/citizens must be
properly addressed to. This is to be achieved by:-

a Disclosure and dissemination of information

This is to be achieved by Municipality disclosures act, RTI and NGRBA guidelines on
stake holders, consultations.
b Citizen voice
This is sought to be achieved by the following:-

i Disclosure of information regarding the project to the public at regular intervals.

ii Consultation and engagement of genuine stake holders on investments regarding the
project.

c Use of social audits

This is sought to be achieved by the “people’s audit” which provides the real view
regarding the performance of the project based on the society’s perception & analysis.

173
d Adherence to RTI Act
The Right to Information act will be used to ensure transparency on all aspects of the
programme by proactive disclosure & sharing of information voluntarily & on demand
as prescribed under the law with key stake holders, communities and beneficiaries.
This information would be provided regarding all components of the project including
cost estimates, procurement plans, details of tender notices, details of award of
Contracts, Contract amounts, Selection of consultants & the details of officials
implementing the project.

GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL
Redressal of grievances contributes to a great extent to the positive perception of the
public regarding the project implementation. Therefore it is essential that any query or
a complaint vis a vis any aspect of the project implementation is promptly,
effectively& positively addressed. The Grievances will be submitted through various
mediums, in person, through phone calls, online or through letters. A single system for
redressal of grievances shall be adopted at the project level to ensure that its purpose is
met. The integrated grievance system will include the following.

i Establishing Grievances Redressal Cell (GRC) with dedicated project officer and
system at the local EA & ULB .At project level the proposed GRC includes Executive
Officer, Anupshahar Nagar Palika. Assistant Engineer, U.P.Jal Nigam will be
Grievance redressal officer at EA level including representative of DBO. Name and
contact information of GRO will be displayed at project site/Notice Board and also
disclosed on website of ULB, EA and SPMG.

ii The public also can submit their unresolved grievances at Tehsil Divas on every
second and fourth Tuesday of every month between 10:00 to 14:00, to District
Magistrate/Sub District Magistrate and all district level officials for quick redressal.

iii The SPMG & EA will prepare a half yearly report on grievance redressal under
GAAP and will be reviewed during meeting of CMCs and Social Audit.

iv The above arrangement will be in addition to the PIO official appointed under RTI
Act, under office of the General Manager, Yamuna Pollution Control Unit, U.P.Jal
Nigam, Ghaziabad.

INSPECTION AND AUDIT

Third party inspecting agencies engaged will review the implementation of project
based on site visits & discussions with executing agencies & stake holders to assure
the quality & implementation schedule. Similarly financial audits both internal and

174
 external will be conducted annually at regular intervals to ensure that the financial
investments are put to proper use.

7.4.5 Assess the Capacity of Institutions and Mechanisms for Implementing Social
Development Aspects and Social Safeguard Plans; Recommend Capacity building measures
Roles and functions of the institutions are pre-defined, but they can enhance their
capacity for better implementation and operation of the project. There should be
synergies and continual interaction amongst the departments for better coordination.
The officers of the relevant departments can be trained in social sciences, social
management plan, etc.

7.4.6 Develop Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanisms to Assess Social Development

Outcomes
Regular monitoring and evaluation of the project activities should be carried out to judge its
success or any gaps. Certain key parameters can be taken as the benchmark for monitoring
and evaluation of the project based on the identified development outcomes. Some of the
indicators are listed below;
• Increase in sewer access (number of households linked to the sewer network)
• Decrease in effluent discharge into the Ganga (water quality assessment of the river)
• Proper sites for industries, building etc.
• Accessibility of the service to backward and weaker sections of the society
• Increase in public toilet
• Increase in the land rate (property appreciation value)
• Decrease in water borne disease incidence in the area

7.5 EMP Budget

The environmental budget for the various environmental management measures proposed
in the ESMP is detailed in Table 27 and the cost of the Environmental Monitoring is given in
Table 28. There are several other environmental issues that have been addressed as part of
good engineering practices, the costs for which have been accounted for in the Engineering
Cost. The rates adopted for the budget has been worked out on the basis of market rates
and the Schedule of rates. Various environmental aspects covered/will are covered under
engineering costs are listed below:
· Proper drainage arrangements to prevent water stagnation/ flooding in SPS and STP
site area
· Appropriate siting, and enclosing within building to reduce noise and odour nuisance
to surrounding area. Drainage along the ghats to collect the discharge from the
residents and connecting to city sewer.
· Alternate traffic re-routing,

176
 · Ensuring storage of excavated soil material on the higher lying areas
· Solid Waste Management
The tentative cost breakup of the EMP is given in Table 7.4. These costs are to be considered
as estimated on a lump-sum basis, since the detailed cost estimates depend on site
condition and construction/operation practices.

 8 Social Development Outcomes and Issues
Introduction:
The cultural and social status of the residing community is very important and can be
understand in accordance with the region's existing baseline social status. The various
suggestions were given in the public consultation and during focus group discussion (FGD).
The discussion with the stake holders are put forwarded in this chapter.

Public consultation/stakeholder consultation and focus group discussion

The public consultation and focus group discussion (FGD) were conducted on 10th January,
2014 and 14th January 2014 wherein social expert has interacted in a well prescribed
Questionnaire, which is enclosed as Annexure 7. The details of public consultation are
presented below:
Major components/ Key issues of the project discussed like

1. STP Zone-A, Anupshahr (Location, Odour, Treated effluent, Land requirement etc.)
2. STP Zone-B, Anupshahr (Location, Odour, Treated effluent, Land requirement etc.)
3. MPS Zone-A, Anupshahr (Location, Noise, Approach to MPS, Land requirement etc.)
4. MPS Zone-B, Anupshahr (Location, Noise, Approach to MPS, Land requirement etc.)

Minutes:-

1. The land adjacent of Existing campus of STPs in both zones are vacant and local
people and stake holders have no objection in acquisition of land for construction
STPs for subsequent years up to 2048.
2. Land acquisition resulting in Relocation of households.
3. The people of Anupshahr are highly appreciate the sewerage project introduced by
Jal Nigam and also show their cooperative nature in listening the objective and
significance of project. There are no tribal settlements in the project area.
4. Construction works near schools and colleges are carried out during vacations and
works near hospitals are completed on priority basis (in shorter time period with
alternate provision of traffic, accessibility of exit/entry gates etc.), the impacts may
be limited
5. Sewer construction leads to the temporary tearing up of roads and increase in large
construction vehicles, which might impair traffic movement, especially in the
narrower roads should also be considered

184
6. Although temporary, concerns regarding failure to restore construction sites
including failure to close and appropriately fence off open pits were cited as safety
concerns especially for children.
7. Due to the construction of sewer lines, raw sewage that currently flows into the river
and/or overflows into the streets will now be routed to the STP. This will prevent
flooding of adjacent areas.
8. There will be a significant improvement in water quality due to effluent discharge
being treated.
9. To avoid the Dust generation provision of Water sprinkling should be provided
10. While execution of projects related to sewerage line, Jal Sansthan is responsible for
the damage caused to the public utility functions like drinking water pipe line.
11. Ensuring better access to household.

Better Sanitation: The sanitation conditions in the town will improve.
Reduction in smell/flies: There will be control over such problems as there will be no open
drains.
Access to River: River Ganga would be more accessible as the quality of the water will
improve and there would not be direct discharge of nallah in the river.
· Conflicts during implementation/construction of the project
Most of the people are in favour of the project and they do not perceive any conflict during
implementation/construction of the project.
· Improvement in Ganga river quality
Around 95% people agreed that the quality of river Ganga will improve as there will be no
direct discharge of untreated sewage in the river.

192
 8.1 Social Development Outcomes of the sub project
· Access to sewer network: This service will cater to the projected population until the
year 2048. According to the DPR, population is expected to increase, approx. 63635 by
2048. In this time, waste water generation is expected to increase approx. 6.87 MLD.
Hence the increase sewerage will prevent outflow of waste water to the Ganga.

· Better hygienic conditions: The sewerage network will provide improved

environmental conditions due to the contained handling of wastes, leading to improved
public health conditions and will likely reduce the average medical expenses of the
residents in the project areas. According to DPR this area has sewerage system but the
sewers are very old, under capacity and deteriorated condition, which causes
significant flow of untreated sewage into river and also this sewage, gets accumulated
on road/drain sides. These areas suffer from powerful odors and greater amounts of
flies/mosquitoes, which will be mitigated with the sewerage connection and overall
improvement in environment and health is anticipated from this project.

· Decrease in water pollution: Because of the sewer line connection, all the waste water
will be collected and directed to treatment plant, which only after treatment will be
disposed off to the river, hence decreasing the pollutant load in the river.

· Increase in aesthetic value of the project area: connection to sewer lines enhance the
aesthetic value of the area, as there will be more cleanliness and no wastewater
discharge to open area. This will also lead to appreciation in the property value. This
will eventually lead to increase in standard of living of the people in the project site.
The support for this statement comes from the counter-factual scenario observed in
areas with only nalas (bad odor, insects, etc.).
· Reduction in cost of implementation: According to DPR, wherever possible
development of sewerage will be integrated with existing GAP infrastructure to reduce
the overall investment cost.

· Cultural sentiments: Proper sewage disposal would increase the river water quality. As
the holy river is attached to many rituals and customs, enhanced river water quality

193
 would connect to sentiments of the people.

8.2 Social Development Issues in Project Vicinity and Social Services to be provided by
the project

The social benefits of the proposed project are given above. The social services required to
ensure that these benefits are realized are given below:
• Ensure backward section of the society gets the facility: Some residents complained
that they did not feel they personally would benefit from the project as their houses
did not have sewer connection. Thus, increasing household connections will ensure
that project benefits are equitably distributed. Plans for increasing connections are
detailed in the DPR. Special care should be taken to ensure access for backward and
vulnerable sections of the society. Full benefits of the facilities proposed under DPR
cannot be realized unless a programme to improve coverage of branch sewers and
household connection is carried in parallel.
• Increasing public toilet facilities: In this project the component of Latrines and
connection to BPL families is taken, to improve or increase the public toilet facilities will
ensure that residents of Anupshahr without permanent housing and tourists
(especially visiting during 'Mela' are able to benefit from the increased sewerage
access. Increasing toilet access will decrease practices such as Open Defecation. This
eventually would lead to better water quality and would have better environment and
social ramifications.
• Targeting of economically weaker communities: for construction jobs related to sub-
project: In order to ensure that the economic benefits of the sub-project is felt by those
in need, those from backward communities should be specifically targeted for relevant
jobs.
• Proper clean-up of project debris: In order to maximize aesthetic benefits and ensure
that debris does not clog sewer path, proper clean-up of project areas must be
performed after the project is completed. Collection and disposal of debris is essential
for proper function of other essential processes like traffic routing, pedestrian
pathways, and clearance of dust and particles causing pollution. Clean area will also
enhance the aesthetic value and increase the property rate of the area.

 9 Conclusion

The project report of the proposed sub-project for sewerage in Anupshahr town after
environment and social analysis concludes that the project falls in 'low impact' category
and have overall positive benefits on the life and environment of the people. As per
environmental and social management framework guidelines of NGRBA, Environmental
and Social Assessment, with a Generic Safeguard Management Plan was conducted for
addressing possible issues/ concerns arising from proposed project.

Impacts of activities identified during the assessment fell under two separate categories
of Construction and Operation. Although no such permanently negative or adverse
environmental or social impacts were identified, there were certain temporary impacts,
for which appropriate mitigation plans have also been suggested. The environmental
management plan ensures to suggest appropriate mitigation measure against the
issues/ concerns identified during the environmental and social analysis study. All the
social and environmental issues were appropriately studied and have been
substantiated using appropriate evidences, to ascertain the magnitude of their impacts.
Even the issues of public grievances and public notice have been taken care in the
report to confirm transparency during the project implementation. Report also ensures
that well defined institutional mechanism is in place to monitor and evaluate the
progress of the project during construction, implementation and operation phases.

Stakeholder consultations and interviews helped to understand the general perception

of public towards the project and it can be determined that the people of the project
site are happy and welcome such an initiative for their betterment. It was also pointed
out that the large overall environmental benefits of the project such as prevention of
discharge of untreated sewage into River Ganga, improvement in sewerage collection
and treatment, prevention of untreated liquid waste infiltrating into ground water and
soil, improvement in quality of life, human dignity and increased productivity greatly
outweigh the temporary inconveniences faced during the implementation stages.
