CHAPTER 11 EVALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
11.1 ESTABLISHING EWG
11.1.1 Initiatives Taken by EWG
According to the Indian government’s environmental impact assessment guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Notification, New Delhi, the 14th September, 2006, environmental clearance is exempted for railway development. Thus RITES, the Indian consulting firm undertaking feasibility study of DFC Project is not in the position of carrying out environmental study and it will not in the future. It is this reason that JICA Study Team carries out environmental study at the planning state of the Project if there would be or not be any significant environmental impacts caused by the Project. In order to carry out environmental study for the Project, JICA Guidelines for the Environment and Social consideration of 2004 is adapted to use as a guideline.
While it is one of the important tasks of JICA Study Team in terms of the review of feasibility report carried out by RITES, MOR does not have appropriate counterpart section specifically undertaking environmental study. Thus, as per Scope of Work signed by the Government of India and Japan on 3rd February 2006, EWG has been established.
During the initial year of study of the Project from June 2006 to March 2007, Environment and Social Consideration Study (ESCS), which is an initial environmental examination level of study in general term, is carried out in conjunction with engineering study, as per Scope of Work signed by the Government of India and Japan on 3rd February 2006.
Local consulting firm of MANTEC has been selected in the middle of December 2006 and it has mobilized its personnel including local NGOs active in each state directly affected by the Project for stakeholder/public consultation meeting.
EWG has been playing an active role in terms of which examination for the terms of reference and various presentation materials intended to make use of them at each stakeholder/public consultation meeting.
11.1.2 Role of EWG
EWG inaugural meeting was held on 30th October, 2006 followed by the second meeting held on 6th December 2007. The following is a major topic of discussions:
1) EWG is consisting of the members of Ministry of Environment and Forestry and Ministry
Rural Development. Further, as deemed necessary members of resettlement commission of each state could be invited to EWG meetings in the future;
2) JICA Study Team’s environmental study report, especially its Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan (RRP), should be duly recognized as a part of the final report of the Project. However, recognition of its contents and organization for doing it is subject to further discussion;
3) Information regarding terms of reference for environmental study subletting to Indian consulting firm and the materials subject to use during the stakeholder/public consultation meeting should be examined by EWG;

11.1.3 Members of EWG
On 17th January 2007, the chairman of EWG has been changed to Mr.P.D.Sharma from Mr. A Gupta. There was also Mr. A Gupta’s commitment to business trip that took place during 18-19th January 2007, the 3rd EWG meeting has been put off to 28the February, 2007. Thus JICA Study Team undertook to provide briefing materials for which the past activities of the project study is explained. Members of EWG are shown in Table 11-1.

11.1.4 Participation of Academic Advisor
JICA Study Team has selected the following academic advisors. They are expected to interact with JICA Study Team and its local consulting firm undertaking ESCS study in terms of improving contents of the study. They are also expected to examine final draft so as it becomes as an acceptable environmental study report.

11.2 EXAMINATION AND COMPARISON OF FOUR OPTIONS
11.2.1 Improvement of the Existing Railway Lines
There are two cases of improvement of the existing railway lines and environmental impacts of each option are summarized as follows:
a. Improvement of Signal and Track System
- Installation of signal and track system takes place within the area of railway’s right of way. Thus there is no significant direct impacts caused by the Project;
- Since there is no level crossing improved by the Project while a number of trains are increased, railway accidents might become on the increase to some extent; and
- Since there are a number of trains increased, waiting time at the railway crossing might increase causing further traffic congestions, particularly in urban areas.

11-3
b. Construction of Double-tracks and Improvement of Signal and Track System
- As double-track railway is constructed alongside the existing railway lines, additional land acquisition in the agricultural areas;
- Those roads constructed apparel to the railways may have to be significantly affected;
- Since there is no by-pass routes are considered to construct, land acquisition in the urban areas should cause a large number of involuntary resettlement;
- Land acquisition between stations may bisect a patch of agricultural field owned by a person, or lesson to the size which it does not make the owner sustainable to carry on farming. If it was the case, each farmer should be properly compensated based on the prevailing national laws and regulations;
- Railway accidents are considered reduced if Road-over Bridges (ROBs) or Road-under Bridges (RUBs) were constructed while non-motorized transportation owners would have to climb slopes of ROB or RUB; and
- In Western Corridor, Vadodara-Kota-Agra-Delhi is the route subject to improvement under this option. At the location approximately 176 km to south of Delhi is Kaoladeo Ghana Lake Bird Sanctuary and the existing railway line is passing through the sanctuary. Thus, very specific environmental study has to be carried out in this area.
Table 11-3 shows impact matrix of the option of Improvement of the Existing Railway Lines: Signal and Track System Improvement and (2) Improvement of the Existing Railway Lines: Signal and Track System Improvement and Double-track Construction Works.

The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11

11.2.2 Dedicated Freight Corridors
Scope of the construction of dedicated freight corridors is briefly shown in Section 15.3. Because of various railway facilities are constructed, impacts on the natural and social environment would not be insignificant. Environmental impacts of DFC Project are summarized as follows;
- There are 26 locations by-passing large to medium size urban centres in order to minimize a number of households involved in resettlement. However, there are more than 2,100 households subject to resettlement. Thus appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation plan has to be elaborated based on National Rehabilitation Policy of 2006;
- A large area of land acquisition for construction of junction station or crossing station is involved. In areas, land acquisition between stations may bisect a patch of agricultural field owned by a person, or lesson to the size which it does not make the owner sustainable to carry on farming. If it was the case, each farmer should be properly compensated based on the prevailing national laws and regulations;
- Railway accidents are considered reduced if Road-over Bridges (ROBs) or Road-under Bridges (RUBs) were constructed while non-motorized transportation owners would have to climb slopes of ROB or RUB;
- Planned 26 locations of by-pass routes may by-sect local farming communities and social cohesions might be lost or implementation of appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation plan has to be considered; and
- Planned tunnel section is in the middle of agricultural field on the plateaux around Sahna in Gurgaon, Hryana State. It may drain ground water of the area causing significant impacts on the agricultural activities of the area.
Table 11-4 shows summarized impact matrix of Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC).

Chapter 11
11-11
11.2.3 Dedicated Passenger Corridor (DPC)
Environmental impacts of dedicated passenger corridor are summarized as follows:
- There are 58 urban centres where 4 km long elevated railway line and passenger stations subject to construction. Thus impacts on socio-economic environment should be relatively large;
- Railway passenger services would be greatly improved; - Railway accidents are considered reduced if Road-over Bridges (ROBs) or Road-under
Bridges (RUBs) were constructed while non-motorized transportation owners would have to climb slopes of ROB or RUB; and
- Number of level crossing of railway is reduced i.e. traffic congestion is greatly reduced at urban centres.
Table 11-5 shows summarized impact matrix of DPC Alternative.

The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-14
11.2.4 Zero Option
- There will be no direct environmental impacts caused by the Project; - Because of no improvement on level crossings, number of railway accidents may increase
as a number of trains gradually increase; and - Because of a number of trains gradually increases, waiting time at level crossing may
increase contributing traffic congestions especially in the urban areas.
Further, if there was no project carried out at this time but the Project would be implemented in the future as passengers or freight increase, project cost would become much higher comparing to that of the present estimation. At the same time, demand on the increased passengers or freight may not be met in the future if there was no project implemented. Details are discussing in Chapter 3 of this report. Table 11-6 shows environmental impacts of DPC Project.

11.3 FACILITY CONSTRUCTION PLAN FOR DFC PROJECT
11.3.1 Environmental Study Related to DFC Project
Because of a number of factors studied during the past study period in terms of economics, demand forecast, engineering possibility and environmental consideration, DFC Project is considered as the most feasible among other options. On the other hand, as stated before, according to the Indian government’s environmental impact assessment guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Notification, New Delhi, the 14th September, 2006, environmental clearance is exempted for railway development. Thus the feasibility study report of PETS-2 put out by RITES does not accompany environmental study report. It contains, however, a number of railway facilities that may cause significant impact on the natural and social environment although details of these facilities are subject to further study and designing which would be ready in May – June 2007. On the other hand, MOR would carry out resettlement and rehabilitation plan as required by other Indian laws and regulations than the above Notification for Environmental Clearance. From JICA’s view points, such study on resettlement and rehabilitation plan is required to carry out during the design stage.
It is JICA Study Team’s task that environmental study is duly carried out during the design stage of the Project in order to undertake appropriate review works on PETS-2 Report put out by RITES. Thereby it can present how the natural and social environment is affected by the Project and how wide the impacts are spread over geographical areas as well as over time. However, the descriptions below may not represent near-truth assessment of the environmental impact of the facilities subject to construction for the Project because of the fact that details of these facilities in terms of locations and configurations are subject to further study.
JICA Study Team has thus carried out to assess approximate impact assessment that these facilities may cause to the natural and social environment using satellite images, including those of publicly available Google Earth on internet. Thereby preliminary and approximate environmental impacts are assessed at this stage of the Project.
11.3.2 Facility Construction Plan
(1) By-passing Urban Centres
DFC Project has been designed to construct its double-track line along with the existing railway lines. However, because of a large number of urban populations may be involved in involuntary resettlement if DFC Project’s railway alignment followed the existing railway lines leading to a number of urban centres, there are 26 locations where urban centres are by-passed. As is shown in Table 11-7, there are 14 locations of by-pass on the Eastern Corridor and 12 locations on the Western Corridor.

Section Section
At present, RITES’s feasibility study is considered to complete in May to June 2007. Designing of the alignment of Eastern Corridor appears to be completed. However, the final location survey of Eastern Corridor’s alignment might be in need to alter as designing works of it could take place on satellite images instead of trial-and-error basis of final location survey using out-dated 120,000 scale maps.
Final location survey for Western Corridor is also in progress. It appears that approximately 50 % of the alignment design has been completed to date. At the same time, roughly 60% of topographical data are considered as classified information and JICA Study Team is not allowed to make use of such data for reviewing RITES’s PETS-2 Report. Thus JICA Study Team has been making use of publicly available maps and satellite images such as Google Earth appears to be 810 households on Eastern Corridor, and 1,300 households on Western Corridor are subject to resettlement. For the propose of assessing the number of households subject to resettlement on the satellite images that are not available in high resolution for all of the alignment of the Project, the following method has been devised to come up with the estimate:
1) Using high resolution satellite images, number of houses are counted that fall into a grid
provided on the satellite images of Google Earth as well as 1/4 of the grid; 2) Without changing the visual altitude of the satellite image, move to agricultural area of
the satellite images of Google Earth and count the number of households in rural areas; 3) Counting should be made to a grid and 1/4 grid over several areas and obtain average
number of households in rural areas over 12-30m wide area simulating railway line; 4) Draw lines over the satellite images of Google Earth imagining railway line and count a
number of households on the line or 1/4 grid area; 5) Compare the number with those of households counted over urban areas and find the
relationships; 6) Repeat the calculations a few times and determine the number of households that might
fall into 1/4 grid through which the railway alignment passing; and 7) Repeat the process over the Western and Eastern Corridors of the Project.

The number of households subject to involuntary resettlement based on the above method might be subject to further detailed study as high resolution satellite images are made available to JICA Study Team. At present, it appears that the margin of error could be from 12% to 25% depending on the resolution of satellite images made use of to date. Further, there might be a large umber of families living together in a building or a structure on the low resolution satellite image could be 3-5 story building. Thus, it is necessary to carry out further works in determining the number of households subject to resettlement.
(2) Construction of Junction Station (JS) and Terminal Station (TS)
There are a number of junction stations are planned to connect to the existing lines from DFC line. Depending on the location it has a large loop of about 1200-2000m long loop and some them fly over the other side of railway line. Each junction station is equipped with loop track, siding, signal station, sub-station, shading and office building and operation and maintenance tools and equipment. As is shown in Table 11.8, there are 16 junction and terminal stations on Eastern Corridor and 11on Western Corridor.

Terminal station does not mean DFC line is terminated at the terminal station but it is still connected to the existing line. Its function is exactly the same as junction station. Of the stations shown in Table 11.8, Son Nagar and Dandrikhalan on Eastern Corridor and JNPT, Tuglakabad and Dadri are named as terminal station.
As of February 2007, exact locations and configuration of each junction or terminal station is not known. They all are subject to further study and designing works being carried out by RITES. Thus despite the size of the area in need of land acquisition, assessment of land

acquisition of each junction station and terminal station is not possible to carry out. At present, however, it appears to be hundreds of rural households in total number would be subject to resettlement based on a very rough trial check of each junction station and terminal station on the satellite images of Google Earth.
(3) Crossing Station
Function of crossing station is similar to that of junction station except where there is no railway line connecting to the existing railway line. Thus each junction station is equipped with loop track, siding, signal station, sub-station, shading and office building and operation and maintenance tools and equipment. As is shown in Table 11-9, there are 51 crossing stations on Eastern Corridor and 33 stations on Western Corridor.

Each station is in need of land acquisition of 60 m wide and 1,600m long in the agricultural area. As of February 2007, exact locations and configuration of each crossing station is not known. They all are subject to further study and designing works being carried out by RITES. Thus assessment of land acquisition of each crossing station is not possible to carry out. At present, however, it appears to be hundreds of rural households in total number would be subject to resettlement based on a very rough trial check of each junction station and terminal station on the satellite images of Google Earth.
(4) Bridges
According to the Indian government’s environmental impact assessment guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Notification, New Delhi, the 14th September, 2006, environmental clearance is exempted for bridge development. However, the bridges crossing over large rivers should be examined from the environmental view points applying JICA’s Guidelines for Environment and Social Considerations since their piers might disrupt smooth flow of rivers, causing sedimentation and flooding in the upstream area.
There have been a few cases where the riverside embankment is filled instead of constructing piers in order to reduce the spun of bridges crossing over the rivers. This could cause flooding in time of torrential and lengthy rain in the upstream areas as the rising water level is blocked by the bridge’s embankment. It should further cause sedimentation to the river. This would become significant impact to river morphology, especially if the river was of navigational use. On the other hand, there will be no resettlement of the local households involved.
Within the framework of DFC Project, there are a large number of bridges crossing over rivers and agricultural irrigation channel of various sizes, local road, etc. Altogether, 274 bridges have been identified on Eastern Corridor, and 509 locations on Western Corridor. Table 11-10 shows a list of important bridges crossing over major rivers and that they are subject to environmental study according to JICA Guidelines for Environment and Social Considerations.

(5) Road-over Bridge (ROB) and Road-under Bridge (RUB)
There are a large number of road-over bridges, which road flies over railway line with bridge planned to construct for DFC Project. Road-under bridge is on the other hand road goes under the railway line. Both of them are designed to reduce the number of level crossing where most of the railway accidents take place.
ROB is designed to construct with 2.5 % of slope climbing to approximately 10 m over the railway according to PETS-2 Report put out by RITES. The length of each ROB should therefore become 800-1,000 m long with steel or concrete girder over the railway. It is not known if this slope gradient is appropriate to the local non-motorized transportation and that it is subject to further debate and discussions at stakeholder/public consultation meeting. If it was constructed in the built-up areas, 100-200 households are subject to resettlement.
RUB is constructed under the railway as it is raised with 2-5m of filling. Thereby road could go across under the railway. Small scale irrigation channels may go across under the railway with concrete or steel culvert. In the case a patch of agricultural field is bi-sected by the railway, a foot- path is constructed under the railway. Thereby the owner can go across the railway safely for farming from one side to the other.
As stated before, ROB or RUB is exempted from environmental clearance according to the Indian laws and regulations on the environmental impact assessment. Thus no environmental study is carried out within the framework of RITES’s feasibility study. Depending on the location and the scale of ROB or RUB, environmental study is mandatory according to JICA Guidelines for the Environment and Social Considerations.
It is therefore necessary to hold stakeholder meeting at least each district and identify the number of ROBs and RUBs planned to construct and that how they would negatively and positively affect local communities. Table 11-11 shows numbers of ROB and RUB in each section of DFC Project.

(6) Freight Logistic Park (FLP)
1). Eastern Corridor
There are two freight logistic parks are planned to construct on Eastern Corridor as follows:
- Kanpur, Utter Pradesh - Radwal, Dandhrikalan in Punjab
Dimension of each FLP is as follows:
Overall Land Area: 500m x 1200m Structure of Warehouse: 30m x 500m Administrative Building: 30m x 120m
2). Western Corridor
There are six freight logistic parks are planned to construct on Eastern Corridor as follows: - Mumbai, Maharashtra - Vapi, Gujarat - Ahmedabad, Gujarat - Ghandidum, Gujarat - Jaipur, Rajasthan - Delhi, Delhi NCR
Dimension of each FLP is the same as above.
Each FLP is the point of modal change from freight train to cargo truck and its function is the same as that of ICD (Inland Container Depot). Since it is relatively wide area development for commercial purposes, detailed EIA study including land acquisition and resettlement of local households should be carried out.
(7) Tunnel
There is a large scale tunnel planned to construct near Sohna in the District of Gurgaon, Haryana. It is excavated on a flat agricultural area of mustard and wheat grown in November to March and legumes and corns in April to October.

As is shown in Figure 11-1, flat agricultural area is open- cut to some 30 m deep in order to avoid shallow over-burden of the tunnel to the west of tunnel section. Length of the tunnel is 4 km long going through 100 m high cliff. Elevated track is constructed connected by embankment before it passes to Asaoti.
The tunnel construction involves relatively large area of land acquisition in the agricultural area. It may cause significant effect to the ground water table. Further blasting that may need to excavate the tunnel should take place in the area of geo-physical and eco-sensitive area. Thus detailed environmental study has to be carried out as per JICA Guidelines for the Environment and Social Considerations.
11.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF DFC PROJECT
11.4.1 ESCS Study
JICA Study Team has selected a local consulting firm, MANTEC CONSULTANTS CO. LTD., in the middle of December 2006. Since then the works on ESCS and stakeholder/public consultation meeting have been carried out. The following sections describe preliminary findings as a result of ESCS and stakeholder/public consultation meeting.
11.4.2 Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meeting
(1) First Stage of Stakeholder/Public Consultation Meeting
The first stage of stakeholder/public consultation meeting for DFC Project is designed to disseminate information on the Project at early stage of planning of the alignment of railway and designing of related facilities. Thereby the policy of developing DFC Project and its concept for facility construction works and their arrangement and locations are informed well in advance of the construction works. Thus participants are encouraged psychological preparation of accepting the project implementation.
As has been stated above, there are 26 urban by-pass routes planned to avoid massive scale of involuntary resettlement. However, relatively large scale of resettlement would still be inevitable as DFC Project is implemented. Further, although detailed locations and configuration are not exactly know, junction and terminal stations, crossing stations, and some of the road-over bridges could involve a number of resettlement of the local households. All of the detailed information is subject to gradual disclosure in order to build up consensus among stakeholders.
Each state is informed that DFC Project takes place in the near future through the first stakeholder/ public consultation meeting. In the Table as above, two meetings have been planned to hold in Haryana, one for the Eastern Corridor with a number of urban by-pass routes, and the other for Western Corridor which involves a large scale construction works of tunnel, elevated railway and embankment. However, there was a request from the state government that it could be dealt with one meeting. During the second stage and third stage, stakeholder meeting would have to be held separately at district level for more detailed information dissemination and discussions with participation of the gram panchayat and local residents.
The first stage of stakeholder/public consultation meeting for DFC Project has been scheduled as follows:

6) Rewari - Dadri
- PETS-2 Report carried out by RITES shows that the route passes the area to the south of Sohna in Gurgaon, Haryana generally from west to east. In the middle of agricultural filed, where mustard and wheat are grown between October – March, and legumes and corns are grown between April to September, the section is constructed with open-cut method. It requires land acquisition of 16-56m wide of land and 6 km long. The section is then linked to 4 km long of tunnel, which is very likely to drain ground water being used for sprinkler irrigation. Further, the section goes to the area below Delhi Range’s cliff and 2 km of elevated railway is constructed before 10 km section of embankment. Thus approximately 60 m wide and 12 km long agricultural field is further affected.
- Entire section is a by-pass route planned to construct in order to avoid densely populate urban centre of Delhi and there are 190 households appears to be subject to resettlement.
- There are 3 junction stations planned to construct in this section and a number of agricultural households would become subject to resettlement. Details are subject to further design for layout of the station as well as the area of land acquisition.
- There are 3 crossing stations planned to construct in this section and a number of agricultural households would become subject to resettlement. Details are subject to further design for layout of the station as well as the area of land acquisition.
- There are 9 ROBs planned to construction in this section. They are aimed to reduce level crossing which further reduces railway accidents. On the other hand, if constructed, non-motorized local transportation is required to climb slope of ROBs which causes further inconvenience to the local business activities.
- There are 72 RUB planned to construct in this section. They are aimed to reduce level crossing which further reduces railway accidents. On the other hand, if constructed without raising DFC Project’s railway level for 2 -5 m above the present ground level, non-motorized local transportation is required to climb slope of RUBs which causes further inconvenience to the local business activities.
- There is one FLP is suggested to construct on the outskirt of Delhi. Depending on the location, noise, vibration and dust during the construction period may cause adverse impact to the surrounding areas.
- At Tuglakabad’s railway colony, approximately 700 households of squatters would become subject to resettlement.
11.4.5 Noise and Vibration (1) Noise Standard in India
There is a regulation and control of noise pollution in India as is shown in Table 11-13. However, it is a regulation for ambient noise generally applied to residential, commercial and industrial areas. There is no specific noise pollution control rules emanated from railways in India. There are also no vibration pollution control rules in India.

(3) Method of Noise and Vibration Survey
In order to predict noise and vibration emanated by the trains upon completion of DFC Project, and that these are causing adverse environmental impacts on the life of residents and business along side the railway, noise and vibration measurement has been carried out during ESCS study period as follows:
a. Measure the present noise and vibration along side the railway; b. Disclose the data during the stakeholder/public consultation meeting as required; c. Measure noise and vibration level during the construction period in order to monitor
these levels of noise and vibration during the construction period; and d. Measure the level of noise and vibration of the trains of DFC Project and compare the
result in order to make use of them during the monitoring period.

11.5 LAWS, REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
11.5.1 Indian Laws and Regulations on Environmental Clearance
(1) Ministry of Environment and Forests, Notification, New Delhi, the 14th September, 2006
This is the Indian government’s guidelines for environmental impact assessment governing all of the development intervention that takes place within the boundaries of India. Railway development project and bridge construction project are exempted from the environmental clearance.
(2) National Rehabilitation Policy (NRP-2006)
This is a policy of the Government of India on resettlement and rehabilitation of the households affected by implementation of projects. It is expected to pass the parliament session this year and that it would become as “National Rehabilitation Act of 2006”, which makes new compensation scheme for resettlement and rehabilitation of the Project-affected Family (PAF) mandatory.
(3) The Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
This is the law on land acquisition promulgated in 1894. Land Acquisition of the railway development project is considered to fall into “Special Powers in Case of Emergency” Clause of the Land Acquisition Act. Under this clause, MOR is allowed to acquire land exclusively for railway development through District Collector. The land is acquired at market value and ex-gratia payment of Rs.10,000 over and the above the value of land acquisition is made.
11.5.2 Environmental Policy of International Funding Organizations
(1) Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC)
JBIC is one of the most prospective funding organizations for DFC Project. Its environmental policy is summarized as follows.
1) Principle of Environmental Study
- Environmental impact which may be caused by a project must be assessed and examined from the earliest planning stage possible. Alternative proposals or minimization measures to prevent or reduce adverse impact must be examined and incorporated into the project plan;
- Such examination must include analysis of environmental costs and benefits in as quantitative terms as possible and be conducted in close harmony with economic, financial, institutional, social and technical analysis of the project;
- The findings of the examination of environmental and social considerations must include alternative proposals, mitigation measures and be recorded as separate documents or as a part of other documents. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports must be produced for projects in which there is a reasonable expectation of particularly large adverse environmental impact; and
- For projects that have particularly large potential adverse impact or are highly contentious, a committee of experts may be formed to seek their opinions, in order to increase accountability.
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-37
2) Examination of Measures
- Multiple alternative proposals must be examined to prevent or minimize adverse impact and to choose a better project option in terms of environmental and social considerations;
- In examination of measures, priority is to be given to the prevention of environmental impact, and when this is not possible, minimization and reduction of impact must be considered next;
- Compensation measures must be examined only when impact cannot be prevented by any of the aforementioned measures; and
- Appropriate follow-up plans and systems, such as monitoring plans and environmental management plans, must be prepared;
- Costs of implementing such plans and systems and financial methods to fund such costs, must be determined. Plans for projects with particularly large potential adverse impact must be accompanied by detailed environmental management plans.
3) Scope of Impact to be Examined
- Environmental impact to be investigated and examined includes factors that impact human health and safety as well as the natural environment, such as: air, water, soil, waste, accidents, water usage, ecosystems, and biota.
- Social concerns include: involuntary resettlement of the population, the indigenous people, cultural heritage, landscape, gender, children’s rights and communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and impact that may lead to trans-boundary and global environmental problems; and
- In addition to the direct and immediate impact of projects, derivative, secondary and cumulative impact are also to be examined and investigated to a reasonable extent. It is also desirable that the impact which can occur at any time during the duration of the project be continuously considered throughout the life cycle of the project.
4). Compliance with Laws, Standards and Plans
- Projects must comply with laws, ordinances and standards relating to environmental and social considerations established by the governments that have jurisdiction over the project site (including both national and local governments). They are also to conform to environmental and social consideration policies and plans of the governments that have jurisdiction over the project site;
- Projects must, in principle, be undertaken outside protected areas that are specifically designated by laws or ordinances of the government for the conservation of nature or cultural heritage (excluding projects whose primary objectives are to promote the protection or restoration of such designated areas); and
- Projects are also not to impose significant adverse impact on designated conservation areas.
5) Social Acceptability and Social Impacts
- Projects must be adequately coordinated so that they are accepted in a manner that is socially appropriate to the country and locality in which the project is planned;
- For projects with a potentially large environmental impact, sufficient consultations with stakeholders, such as local residents, must be conducted via disclosure of information from an early stage where alternative proposals for the project plans may be examined;
- The outcome of such consultations must be incorporated into the contents of the project plan; and
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-38
- Appropriate consideration must be given to vulnerable social groups, such as women, children, the elderly, the poor and ethnic minorities, all of whom are susceptible to environmental and social impact and who may have little access to the decision- making process within the society.
6) Involuntary Resettlement
- Involuntary resettlement and loss of means of livelihood are to be avoided where feasible, exploring all viable alternatives;
- When, after such examination, it is proved unfeasible, effective measures to minimize impact and to compensate for losses must be agreed upon with the people who will be affected;
- People to be resettled involuntarily and people whose means People to be resettled involuntarily and people whose means of livelihood will be hindered or lost must be sufficiently compensated and supported by the project proponents, etc. in timely manner;
- The project proponents, etc. must make efforts to enable the people affected by the project, to improve their standard of living, income opportunities and production levels, or at least to restore them to pre-project levels;
- Measures to achieve this may include: providing land and monetary compensation for losses (to cover land and property losses), supporting the means for an alternative sustainable livelihood, and providing the expenses necessary for relocation and the re-establishment of a community at relocation sites; and
- Appropriate participation by the people affected and their communities must be promoted in planning, implementation and monitoring of involuntary resettlement plans and measures against the loss of their means of livelihood.
7) Indigenous Peoples
- When a project may have adverse impact on indigenous peoples, all of their rights in relation to land and resources must be respected in accordance with the spirit of the relevant international declarations and treaties; and
- Efforts must be made to obtain the consent of indigenous peoples after they have been fully informed.
8) Monitoring
- It is desirable that, after a project begins, the project proponents monitor: (i) whether any situations that were unforeseeable before the project began have arisen, (ii) the implementation situation and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures prepared in advance, and that they then take appropriate measures based on the results of such monitoring;
- In cases where sufficient monitoring is deemed essential for the achievement of appropriate environmental and social considerations, such as the projects for which mitigation measures should be implemented while monitoring their effectiveness, project proponents must ensure that project plans include monitoring plans which are feasible; and
- It is desirable that project proponents make the results of the monitoring process available to project stakeholders;
- When third parties point out, in concrete terms, that environmental and social considerations are not being fully undertaken, it is desirable that a forum for discussion and examination of countermeasures be established based on sufficient information disclosure and include the participation of stakeholders in the relevant project; and
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-39
- It is also desirable that an agreement be reached on procedures to be adopted with a view to resolving the problem.
(2) Asian Development Bank
Environment policy of Asian Development Bank is subdivided into the principles of environmental study, examination of alternatives, items subject to study, environmental laws and regulations, formulation of consensus among PAFs, social impact assessment and safe guard of the PAFs. In order to achieve safeguard policy of ADB funded projects, it maintains clear policy papers and guidelines on Indigenous Peoples, Resettlement, Confidentiality and Disclosure of Information, Sector Policies (Gender, Water, Forest, Fisheries, energy, etc) and Governance.
The ADB’s Environment Policy mandates the procedural requirements for effective public consultation and information disclosure in the EIA process.
1) Principles of Public Consultation
- Information Dissemination: Providing information about benefits and disadvantages of the project at an early stage of the EA process allows people time to think about the issues, consider implications, and formulate their views. An informed public will understand the trade-offs; be able to contribute meaningfully to project design; and have greater trust with the project proponent;
- Information solicitation: Asking and listening to the local community, residents, and interested groups about their views and input into the EA yield new insights and site-specific information. Past broken promises or mismanagement may have left a legacy of mistrust. Information solicitation provides past experiences of the general public with authorities and can initiate constructive dialogue;
- Information Integration: Predicting likely direct and indirect impacts, short-and long-term resource use implications, evaluating their significance and risks, and developing appropriate mitigation and monitoring programs require not only the scientific data collected by sampling and modelling, but must be based on stakeholders input and views;
- Social Coordination: The ability to conduct effective public consultation depends on how individual team members appreciate benefits of consultation, understand their roles, and cooperate each other. A well-integrated Project Team with well-defined roles and responsibility can facilitate dialogue with the executive agency to inform the ADB's requirements and gain its commitment to remove any constraints to carry out public consultation throughout the project cycle;
- Engaging People in Dialogue: Public consultation involves engaging people in dialogue – a two-way flow of information and ideas between the project proponent and the stakeholders with the opportunity for the stakeholders to express their views and concerns. Ensuring the opportunity to participate in dialogue during the early preparation stage of the EA process enables to manage expectations and detect any potential serious conflict and help resolve issues before they lead to conflict, reducing financial losses due to delays.
2) Involuntary Resettlement
- Reduce or avoid adverse effect to social environment as much as possible; - Hold dialogue with PAFs from the early stage of the project planning and
disseminate information as much and as early possible; - Loss of asset such as land or structures should be compensated at market cost or
replacement cost;
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-40
- Non-title holders such as squatters should be compensated as a result of project implementation;
- PAFs should be paid one-off grant for rehabilitation of livelihood over and above the payment for the loss of asset;
- Loss of working days/remuneration should also be compensate; - Vulnerable group of the society such as female-headed households and socially
disadvantaged should receive assistance over and above the loss of asset and one-off grant;
- Detailed assistance for those of indigenous tribes, below poverty, socially disadvantaged should be elaborated; and
- Provide PAFs programmes for rehabilitation of livelihood.
3) Environmental Study
- ADB implements environmental study under the PPTA (Project Preparatory Technical Assistance) programme and that the PPTA study members elaborate EIA report for the borrower.
(3) World Bank
1) Principles of Public Consultation
- Category A and B projects are subject to public consultation. Before terms of reference for environmental study is elaborated, information on the outline of project and expected environmental impacts should be disseminated;
- After the screening of environmental impacts but before the terms of reference for environmental study is elaborated and thereafter, at least two times of public consultation meeting should be held;
- Participants of public consultation meeting should be those of directly affected by the project and the NGOs of the local areas;
- Upon completion of the draft environmental study report, it should be made available to the PAFs and the local NGOs at public place;
- Final EIA report should be made public and it should be verified by the World Bank;
- EIA Report is made public through the info-shop of the World Bank upon loan agreement. Should the borrower object it, processing of loan is halt in the case of IDA Project, or the process is put up to the board meeting in the case of IBRD Project.
2). Involuntary Resettlement
- Analyse the extent of involuntary resettlement and attempt should be made to avoid or reduce involuntary resettlement by studying a number of alternations of project design;
- Ascertain laws and regulations of the country that projects are implemented in terms of the policy and institutional arrangement on involuntary resettlement in order to compare and clarify the difference between the policy of involuntary resettlement of the World Bank;
- Analyse the extent of social impacts of the involuntary resettlement and elaborate mitigation measures. Clarify institutional arrangement of the project owner responsible for implementation of such mitigation measures;
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-41
- Carry out social impact assessment study of PAFs at the earliest possible stage of the project planning in terms of the occupation and income, standard of living, family structures, public hygiene, infrastructures being enjoyed by the PAFs as baseline data;
- Inventory of the loss of asset should be studied and clarify the extent of compensation and these losses should be calculated based on the replacement cost;
- Study on the socially vulnerable groups and elaborate detailed programme for each group;
- Study on the interactions of the PAFs and the population of the host areas and analyse and assess any mitigation measures as necessary;
- Study on the infrastructures of the area being enjoyed by the PAFs and analyse if any impacts caused by the project implementation;
- Study and analyse cultural, religious, social events that are prevailing in the areas affected by the project implementation and the organizations including NGOs dealing with them;
- Study and elaborate programmes that PAFs are able to rehabilitate their livelihood after resettlement;
- Study and clarify land tenure system and transfer of titles based on the prevailing laws as well as the traditional rights;
- Clarify the eligibility of PAFs; - Method of compensation should be selected based on or by the way PAFs select and
accept; - Selection of the resettlement area should be carried out by the organization whose
expertise is based on socio-economical and ecological valuation whereby PAFs can rehabilitate their livelihood and maintain the standard of living before resettlement or even improve it;
- Resettlement action plan should include provision of housing for resettlement as well as the construction of infrastructures for the resettling population as a whole;
- Resettlement action plan should be elaborated not only for the PAFs but also for the host area’s population;
- Grievance redress system and organization taking care of it should be established. Such organization should also the be the organization for implementation of the resettlement action plan; and
- An organization monitoring the implementation of resettlement action plan as a third party should be selected. Such organization should periodically monitor the entire process of resettlement and rehabilitation of livelihood if it is implemented as per resettlement action plan.
3) Implementation of Environmental Study
- If the borrower does not possess appropriate laws and regulations as well as expertise on the planning and studying of environmental impact assessment, environmental management and monitoring, elaboration for mitigation measures etc., such planning study could be incorporated into the loan project.

11.6 FRAMEWORK OF RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION PLAN
11.6.1 National Rehabilitation Policy
Ministry of Rural Development has issued National Policy for Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Project Affected Families in 2003. It has been reviewed over the past years and it is now issued as National Rehabilitation Policy of 2006. It reflects largely the environmental policy of the World Bank and/or Asian Development Bank. It is therefore one of the most important policy paper adapted to use for the projects involving involuntary resettlement. It is submitted to the parliament and expected to pass very shortly. If realized, it would become “National Rehabilitation Act- 2007”. As a result, projects involving involuntary resettlement in India would have to adapt the act and Imprementation of compensation schemes provided in the Act would become mandatory.
Table 11-15 shows compensation scheme provided for PAFs by the National Rehabilitation Policy of 2006.
11.6.2 Process of Land Acquisition
Land acquisition is carried out by MOR upon completion of the final location survey carried out by RITES. MOR is to notify District Collector for land acquisition based on the final location survey. West Bengal State has its own land acquisition policy. Detailed procedure is explained as follows:
(1) States Directly Affected by DFC Project except West Bengal
a. MOR notifies to District Collector concerned with the land acquisition for DFC Project; b. District Collector prepares and carries out survey on the land and asset subject to
acquisition or relocation. Number of households subject to resettlement and rehabilitation is also surveyed and inventory and valuation of them are duly created before District Collector notifies to state government;
c. State government notifies the contents of inventory made by District Collector on the official gazette as public notice. The date of notice usually becomes the official date of cut-off date for resettlement and rehabilitation arrangement;
d. If there was any people intending to enter the area, he/she has to notify District Collector seven days in advance in writing for obtaining permission;
e. State government is publish the notification on the two newspapers in circulation in the state, one in the local language and the other in English;
f. At the time of land acquisition and resettlement operation, MOR has to pay to District Collector 50% of the assessed cost of land acquisition plan for implementation;
g. Notification for land acquisition should also be published at the District Collector’s office. In Bihar State, such notification should also be published at sub-district, gram panchayat, and village offices;
h. At the end of notification period, usually 30 days, District Collector finalizes full inventory survey and the result is disclosed to the general public;
i. Based on the final full inventory, District Collector notifies for disbursement of compensation to all the PAFs.
In general the above process takes 18 months.
(2) West Bengal State
a. MOR is to notify Land and Land Reform Department of the state government with all of
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-43
the evidences of final location survey and the result of full inventory survey including evidences of the title registration and ID card of the owner of titled registration.
b. The date MOR notified to West Bengal Stage Government should become cut-off date of the land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation. Any person intending to enter the area subject to land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation should in writing apply for permission. If entered, the state government should in writing demand for evaluation within 3 months;
c. Land and Land Reform Department of the West Bengal State Government is to notify District Collector within 10 days of the receipt of notification from MOR;
d. Upon receipt of notification from the state government relevant area’s District Collector is requested to verify within 5 days.
e. Upon completion of the procedure of verification, notification made by MOR is verified within 5 days. However, more than 100 acres of land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation should be assessed and verified by the state legislature. If it was not the case, the notification should be sent back to MOR;
f. State government notifies on the local news papers, one in the local language and the other in English, the result of application made by MOR thereby within 30 days public hearing is held in the area relevant to project implementation;
g. Upon completion of public hearing, stage government issues Government Order within 10 days for implementation of land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation plan. At this time MOR is to pay 50% of the cost of land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation;
h. Notwithstanding the area of land acquisition and the number of PAFs, District Collector should notify within 30 days from the expired date of issue of the above government order for payment of land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation plan. Such notification is also send out to the state government;
i. State government is to verify the notification of District Collector within 10 days. At this time MOR has to complete 100% of the payment for land acquisition to the state government;
j. District Collector is to complete the payment within 30 days in the case of the area of acquisition less than 100 acres and 45 days for the area more than 100 acres;
k. Land owners and PAFs are requested to verify the receipt of payment and/or compensation within 75 days from the date of the receipt of notification. Those who failed to do so are notified within 12day from the date of expiration of the receiving period and this process is repeated for another 12 days;
l. Upon completion of the payment, District Collector transfers the title for implementation of the project.
The Government Order issued by the Land and Land Reform Department of West Bengal State Government, G.O. No.1701-LA-3M-07/06, 6th June, 2006 states that the above procedures is completed within 6-7 months.
11.6.3 Framework of Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan (RRP)
(1) Government Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation
Based on the National Rehabilitation Policy-2006, the Government of India has clearly state as follows:
- Impacts and losses caused to PAFs by project implementation should be surveyed their losses, studied their impacts and held dialogue with PAFs in order to disseminate correct and accurate information to the PAFs;
- Frame work of the laws and regulations should safeguard each family and mitigate impacts on the PAFS subject to resettlement and rehabilitation;
The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with Computerized Control for Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah in India Progress Report 2 (Task 0&1)
Chapter 11
11-44
- Assistance and compensation for resettlement and rehabilitation should be so designed to reinstate the standard of living of the PAFs at the time of resettlement or higher;
- Socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups should be identified and details of livelihood rehabilitation programme should be elaborated;
- PAFs are entitled to receive compensation and assistance for the losses of asses, trees and crops as well as the remunerations/working day;
- It is the accountability of the project proponent that the contents of resettlement and rehabilitation plan are duly implemented;
Matrix of entitlement for compensation is shown in Table 11.13, mechanism of resettlement and rehabilitation plan is shown in Figure 11.4, and suggested resettlement and rehabilitation plan based on National Rehabilitation Policy–2006 is shown in Appendix 6.1.
