EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects tostrengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport in Greater Mumbai and MumbaiMetropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improvingpublic transport including the railway capacity.

Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for some of these sub-projects in the years 1996to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for the entire MUTP project. EnvironmentalManagement Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part of these EAs, which included mitigationmeasures for minimising adverse environmental impacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction and MMRDA desires to carry out anassessment of the relevant EMPs.

This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the project involving conversion ofthe current 1500 V DC traction system to 25000 V AC system. This system is beingimplemented at various routes of both Westem Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR).

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services ofSerene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects ofMUTP.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDYThe Objectives of Environmental Audit are as follows:* Assess whether any activity of the project will have impacts on the environment such as

construction of sub-stations within coastal regulation zone.* Assess impacts of disposal of old DC transformers.* Suggest environmental management plan, if required, for mitigating environmental impact.

3.0 PROJECT COMPONENTS

The conversion is being done on various sections of both WR and CR. The broadcomponents of the project are as follows:

1. Modification to the existing overhead equipment (OHE) to suit the insulation level of 25kV.

2. Modification to the existing over line structures such as foot over bridges (FOB's), roadover bridges (ROB's).


3. Power supply arrangement for 25 kV system4. Modification to the existing low tension supplies5. Modification to the telecommunication installation6. Modification of the signaling installation with Audio frequency7. Modification to Electrical Multiple Units (EMU's)8. Modifications to Electrical Locomotives9 Miscellaneous. Civil Works. These include the following:

* Rebuilding/raising FOBs which are not having sufficient clearances to accommodateAC traction

. Freezing the rail level under ROBs having critical clearances for AC traction bybuilding ballast less track under them

. Construction of electrical and service buildings such as substations, relay rooms,cable huts etc.

. Construction of quarters, office accommodations, office rest houses and seniorsubordinates rest houses as per requirements.

At present 20 nos. of DC substations on Westem Railway and 49 nos. of DC substations onCentral Railway are feeding DC power supply for running the trains in Mumbai SuburbanNetwork. With switch over to 25 kV AC system, only 5 nos. of AC substations on WesternRailway and 13 nos. of AC substations on Central Railway will suffice.

The new substations will be provided at Mahalakshmi, Bandra, Jogeshwari, Borivali andVasai Road on Westem Railway and at Chinchpokali, Vidyavihar, Thane, Thakurdi, Vangani,Karjat, Titwala, Asangaon, Kasara, Raoli, Mankhurd, Sea wood and Panvel on CentralRailway.

lmplementation Status- Central RailwaYOn the Central Railway (CR) route, the conversion will be done in 4 phases:

Phase 1: Vasai - Panvel - Jasai (Non-suburban route)Titwala - Igatpur stations

Phase 2: Tilak-nagar - Panvel; Thane - Turbhe stations

Phase 3: Thane - Kalyan stationsPhase 4: Thane to CSTM stations

Phase 1 and 2 are in progress. Phase 3 will commence after completion of Phase 1 and 2Conversion in the suburban Phase 4 is expected to commence only after the year 2005.

Implementation Status- Western Railwav

On the Western Railway (WR) route, the conversion will be done in 3 phases:Phase 1: Borivali to Virar stationsPhase 2: Andheri to Borivali stationsPhase 3: Churchgate to Andheri stations

.


The OHE component in Phase 1 is about 90% complete. The expected date of completionfor Phase 1 is December 2002.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 implementation will begin after completion of Phase 1. The expecteddates of completion for Phase 1 and 2 are December 2004 and December 2006 respectively.

3.1 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, Wodd Bank policies/directives and GOMdirectives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in the Final Consolidated EnvironmentAssessment (EA) Report on MUTP, 2002 prepared by MMRDA. This EMP's for the DC to ACconversion project have been prepared within the Policy and Legal Framework outlined in theConsolidated EA (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirements applicable to the DCto AC conversion project are as follows:

Indian Environmental and Other RegulationsO Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act.O The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975O Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act)O Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):O Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs)

World Bank PoliciesO Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Air Quality and Noise:Of all works in DC-AC project, only construction of AC sub-stations and laying of cables (fromMSEB to substations) has a potential'of causing minor negative impacts.

These impacts are typical to any minor civil construction. The magnitude of construction issmall and the associated impacts are not considered significant. Prior permissions for cablelaying will be taken from MCGM/Concerned Municipal Office.

Environmental impacts from waste disposalScrap DC electrical components such as insulators, cables, transformers etc. will be the mainwastes from this project. Good working components will be reused for maintenance of routeswith existing DC components. Generally the waste material generated will be the ones, whichcannot be serviced. These are sent to railway stores for auction. The amount of waste

ill


generated in the project till date in WR and CR (mainly for sections where work is in progress)and the current handling and disposal modes are given below in Table 2. Photo 4 showsthe scrap yard at Bhayandar. Discarded insulators and other material are stored here beforedisposal by sale.

One of the critical environmental issues in DC-AC project is disposal of scrap transformnersand switch gears that have oils. These oils could have Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)which is used as dielectric and heat exchange fluid. PCBs and their impurities are known torepresent a threat to human health and the environment. Thus managing PCB containingwastes is necessary.

As per a World Bank study, most transformers manufactured after 1985 do not have PCBs.The number of DC transformers likely to be replaced in WR and CR as a part of DC-ACconversion are given in Table 2. These transformers are unlikely to contain PCB's, sinceeven the transformers manufactured before 1985 have gone through several oil changes withnon-PCB containing transformer oils (Oil change required every 10 years). Oils manufacturedcurrently do not contain PCB's.

Ecological Impacts due to Construction Activities.Ecological impacts are possible if construction is done in ecologically fragile areas. None ofthe ecologically fragile areas in Greater Mumbai will be affected by the project. As mentionedeariier, in project component description, minor construction activities such as construction ofsub-stations, cable huts are involved.

Of particular significance here is the possibility of construction in Coastal Regulation Zone(CRZ) areas. Preliminary assessment has shown that none of the new AC sub-stations inChurchgate - Virar section and Thane-CST section (including one proposed at Mankhurd) willbe located in designated CRZ areas.

Some trees may require cutting in area designated for sub-stations. However, survey for thesame has not been done. As required by The Maharashtra Tree Felling Act, priorpermissions from tree officer of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) orapplicable Forest officer will be taken before cutting down of any Tree (listed in the scheduleof the above Act)

Resettlement of Proiect Affected Households (PAH)Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of any PAH will be done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra.

Archaeological and Cultural Property

iv


Rehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious(temples, mosques etc.) likely to be affected by the project is required by The World BankOperational Policy 4.11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

As per survey done by MMRDA, there are no such structure affected by this project.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures

Interviews and site visits have not indicated any significant adverse environmental impactcaused due the project activities. Any adverse impacts expected will be due to disposal ofhazardous waste material such as scrap transformers. No significant adverse impacts areexpected during the operation stage of the project.

Thus, as far as this project is concerned, recommendations for EMP implementation includethe following:

* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for civilconstruction works and other related activities - Sub-stations, cable laying etc.

• EHS measures for waste handling, storage and disposal.* EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism including Institutional framework

5.1 Site Findings and Compliance For EHS Mitigation Measures

The EHS issues are addressed for the components given below for design, construction andoperation phases of the project.

* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves.* Resettlement and rehabilitation* Utility relocation* Disposal of scrap hazardous material from DC-AC Project. Generation of Dust due to construction activity (Mainly applicable to Sub-Station

Construction)* Construction Vehicle /equipment exhaust emissions* Noise from vehicles, plants and equipment* Chocking of drains and other water bodies such as wells and lakes/ponds.* Soil erosion* Debris disposal* Soil contamination by construction wastes, fuel etc.* Land degradation in quarry area.e Health and hygiene at construction labour camps• Delays and congestion on tracks* Traffic Control and Safety


* Occupational Health and Safety* Hazardous material handling

Critical EHS recommendations for the project are given below, more details on audit findings andrecommendations are available in Tables 3.1 to 3.3 of this report.

Pre-construction and design stage:

1. Trees to be removed before commencement of construction, with prior permission fromForest Officer as required by the Maharashtra Tree Felling Act.

2. Resettlement is currently being carried out by MMRDA as per RAP of GOM. SeparateTransit and penmanent accommodations for project affected households should be audited atleast 6 monthly.

3. Plans should be made showing the route of cable laying along with areas affected, trafficdiversions required, utilities affected etc.

4. Cable laying work to be done strictly after prior approval of concerned Municipal/CivicAuthority.

5. All utilities, such as electrical installations, telephone lines etc. to be shifted only after priorapproval of agencies.

Construction Phase

1. All scrap transformers to be stored in dedicated areas with adequate precautions in RailwayStores.

2 Transformers (including waste transformer oils) should be sold to only vendors authorised byMOEF

3. Stores Dept. to ensure that Authorisation is available for handling and disposal of waste oil(including Transformer oil) from State Pollution Control Board, as per requirement ofHazardous Waste (Handling and Management) Amendment Rules, 2000.

4. Road wetting at construction sites for minimising dust emissions.5. All contractors to make sure that all dumpers and other vehicles being used at site have been

checked for vehicle emissions and have a valid PUC certificate.6. A clear documented procedure to be made part of the tender documents, requiring

contractors to dispose debris in low-lying areas away from water bodies, as fill material only.7. Documentation such as quarry release receipt issued by the District Revenue officer at the

quarry site to be available at construction site.8. Safety and hazard posters and signs should be clearly displayed at locations such as plafformn

works, level crossings, Station building construction areas etc.9. All safety precautions as mentioned in tender documents to be taken. An engineering work

permit is made by Western Railway for each site, after inspection of safety conditions as pertender requirements. C.R. to assure that a similar procedure for work permit is followed at allconstruction sites

10. CR/WR to assure that all contractors make available safety shoes, face masks, earplugs etc.as applicable to the labourers. Such PPE's should be available on site and assessment

vi


should be made during scheduled inspections. This requirement to be made a part of tenderdocumentation.

11. First aid boxes to be made available at site.

ODeration Phase1. Regular maintenance of track side plantation.2. Regular audits of material handling and disposal (storage, disposal practice and records)

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Site visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmentalmanagement organisation:

In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the ProjectImplementation Agency (PIA). However, Central Railway (CRANR) is the PIA for thisproject. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDAand CR.

* CRNWR has incorporated certain EHS elements in the tender documents. Additionalrequirements to be induded are pointed out in Table 3.2 of this report.

* Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apartfrom periodic general inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHSelements of the project.

Environmental impacts for thq project are limited to those caused by handling and disposal oTwastes, particularly hazardous wastes such as transformers and transformer oils and cablelaying work, cutting of trees, minor civil construction work etc.

The objectives of monitoring will best be achieved for this project by a comprehensiveperiodic site inspection program for EHS elements for the on-going construction activities.This is covered in Section 6.2. Physical periodic monitoring of ambient air quality, noise,water etc. for the construction and operation stages of the project are not recommended forthis railway project.

The recommended EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism, inspection schedule - format -responsibilities, current institutional mechanism, training requirements etc. are given in detailin Sections 6.1 to 6.5 of this report. The estimated cost of EMP implementation for DC-ACconversion project will be Rs. 1250000 (Table 5).

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects tostrengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport In Greater Mumbal and MumbaiMetropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improvingpublic transport induding the railway capacity.

As per requirement of The World Bank, Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for somethese sub-projects In the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for theentire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part ofthese EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmentalimpacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction andMMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs.

This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the project involving conversion of

the current 1500 V DC traction system to 25000 V AC system. This system is being

implemented at various routes of both Westem Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR).

1.2 Statement of purpose

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services ofSerene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projectsof MUTP. The scope of work is as per TOR given in the RFP no. PD/MUTP/EA/701/2001dated October 16, 2001 (Annex 1). The work was awarded to SES on November 7, 2001,after final negotiations on November 6, 2001.

Objectives of the study:

* Assess whether any activity of the project will have impacts on the environment such asconstruction of sub-stations within coastal regulation zone.

* Assess impacts of disposal of old DC transformers.* Suggest environmental management plan, If required, for mitigating environmental Impact

2.0 PROJECT DETAILS

2.1 Project Need

The trains in Mumbai have been running on 1500V DC electric traction since 1930. Worldover the 25KV AC traction system has been accepted during 1950. The changeover has nottaken place here due to several technical and execution problems.

tnvironfrienrwal AU( or L)u-o- as 6erene tnvironmenrai servicesConversion Project of Railways

The several benefits that will be achieved by conversion from DC to AC traction system are:

• Future long-term traffic requirement of Mumbai area can be met with less number oftraction substations

* Haulage of longer and heavier trains with a single locomotive.* Increase train speeds* Less transmission losses with higher voltage* Saving of wagon detention hours.* Lower maintenance* Reduction in contact wire wear and tear* Higher reliability, due to fast acting precise relay in AC system with less number of cables.

2.2 Project Components and Implementation Status

The conversion is being done on various sections of both WR and CR. The broadcomponents of the project are as follows:

1. Modification to the existing overhead ecuicment (OHE) to suit the insulation level of 25kV.

The OHE will need to be modified to suit 25KV AC traction. This involves changing theinsulators and modifying suspension points, terminabon points, cross span point etc.Photo I shows a view of the insulators that need to be replaced.

2. Modification to the existing over line structures such as foot over bridges (FOB's), roadover bridqes (ROB's).

More clearance between the overhead bridge structure and electrical wires will berequired for 25KV system. Thus modificabon to existing over-line structures such asFOB's and ROB's will be required. To avoid huge investment in raising or rebuildingROB's, it is also proposed to provide changes in the tracks to freeze the rail level.

3. Power supply arrangement for 25 kV system

New AC substations will be set up. The old DC sub-stations will be phased out. Apartfrom the traction substations, smaller switching stations at different locations are beingprovided to create sections in the event of a fault and facilitate maintenance. All thesepower supply installations will be unmanned and controlled from a remote centre.Photo 2 in Annex 2 shows an area near Borivali station been identified for setting upone of the new AC sub-stations Photo 3 shows one of the DC sub-stations atBhayandar to be dismantled.

4. Modification to the existing low tension suopliesIn this work, the L.T. overhead lines of 2.2 KV are being changed over to under groundcables at stations and washing lines. Independent source of power supply fromMSEB/BSES etc. will be taken for feeding the stations Battery charging facilities onwashing sidings will also be modified.

5. Modification to the telecommunication installationIn this work, optic fiber cables (OFC) and associated equipments are being provided.Modifications are done in the telecommunication circuits of Passengers Announciationsystem, PF indicators and clocks.

6 Modification of the signaling installation with Audio freauencvIn this work, the point motors are replaced with AC motors and the AC track circuits arereplaced with Audio frequency track circuits. Modifications to block instruments will alsobe carded out.

7. Modification to Electrical Multiple Units (EMU's)During the period when the conversion work is being executed, the suburban trains haveto run with AC power on some converted sections and with DC power on other sectionswhere conversion in progress / awaited, Modifications will have to be carried out in theElectrical Multiple Units (EMU's) so that they can operate on dual voltage i.e. on 1500 VDC & 25 kV AC. For this purpose retro fitment work is in progress. Two of the convertedrakes are already in operation.

8. Modifications to Electrical LocomotivesAs explained above, the locomotives which haul Mail & Express / Passenger / Goodstrains will also be modified to work on both the systems.

9. Miscellaneous. Civil WorksThese include the following:* Rebuilding/raising FOBs which are not having sufficient clearances to accommodate

AC traction. Freezing the rail level under ROBs having critical clearances for AC traction by

building ballast less track under them. Construction of electrical and service buildings such as substations, relay rooms,

cable huts etc.* Construction of quarters, office accommodations, office rest houses and senior

subordinates rest houses as per requirements.

At present 20 nos. of DC substations on Westem Railway and 49 nos. of DC substations onCentral Railway are feeding DC power supply for running the trains in Mumbai SuburbanNetwork. With switch over to 25 kV AC system, only 5 nos. of AC substations on WestemRailway and 13 nos. of AC substations on Central Railway will suffice.

The new substations will be provided at Mahalakshmi, Bandra, Jogeshwar, Borvali andVasai Road on Westem Railway and at Chinchpokali, Vidyavihar, Thane, Thakurli, Vangani,Karjat, Titwala, Asangaon, Kasara, Raoli, Mankhurd, Sea wood and Panvel on CentralRailway.

3.2 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, World Bank policies/directives and GOMdirectives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in the Final Consolidated EnvironmentAssessment (EA) Report on MUTP, 2002 prepared by MMRDA. This EMP's for the DC to ACconversion project have been prepared within the Policy and Legal Framework outlined in theConsolidated EA (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The brief details of the applicable Policyframework are presented in Annex lB. The legal requirements applicable to the DC to AC

conversion project are as follows:

Indian Environmental and Other Regulationsnl Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act.0 The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975D Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act)O Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):o Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs)

World Bank Policies0 Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)


4.0 Environmental Impacts

Air Quality and Noise:Of all works in DC-AC project, construction of AC sub-stations and laying of cables (fromMSEB to substations) has a potential of causing minor negative impacts on Ambient AirQuality and noise Photos Nos. 2 and 3 show the proposed site for new AC sub-station atBorivali and DC sub-station at Bhayandar respectively.

These impacts are typical to any minor civil construction. The magnitude of construction issmall and the associated impacts are not considered significant. Prior permissions for cablelaying will be taken from MCGM/Concemed Municipal Office.

Environmental Impacts from waste disposalScrap DC electrical components such as insulators, cables, transformers etc. will be the mainwastes from this project. Good working components will be reused for maintenance of routeswith existing DC components. Generally the waste material generated will be the ones, whichcannot be serviced. These are sent to railway stores for auction. The amount of wastegenerated in the project till date in WR and CR (mainly for sections where work is in progress)and the current handling and disposal modes are given below in Table 2. Photo 4 showsthe scrap yard at Bhayandar. Discarded insulators and other material are stored here beforedisposal by sale.

One of the critical environmental issues in DC-AC project is disposal of scrap transformersand switch gears that have oils. These oils could have Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)which is used as dielectric and heat exchange fluid. PCBs and their impurities are known torepresent a threat to human health and the environment. Thus managing PCB containingwastes is necessary.

As per a World Bank study, most transformers manufactured after 1985 do not Aave PCBs.The number of DC transformers likely to be replaced in WR and CR as a part of DC-ACconversion are given in Table 2. These transformers are unlikely to contain PCB's, sinceeven the transformers manufactured before 1985 have gone through several oil changes withnon-PCB containing transformer oils (Oil change required every 10 years). Oils manufacturedcurrently do not contain PCB's.

Impacts on Natural Habitats and EcoloavEcological impacts are possible if construction is done in ecologically fragile areas. None ofthe ecologically fragile areas in Greater Mumbai will be affected by the project. As mentionedearlier, in project component description, minor construction activities such as construction ofsub-stations, cable huts are involved.

Of particular significance here is the possibility of construction in Coastal Regulation Zone(CRZ) areas. Preliminary assessment has shown that none of the new AC sub-stations inChurchgate - Virar section and Thane-CST section (including one proposed at Mankhurd) willbe located in designated CRZ areas.

Some trees may require culling in area designated for sub-stations. However, survey for thesame has not been done. As required by The Maharashtra Tree Felling Act, priorperrtissions from tree officer of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) orapplicable Forest officer will be taken before cutting down of any Tree (listed in the scheduleof the above Act)

Resettlement of Proiect Affected Households (PAH)Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of any PAH will be done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra.

Archaeological and Cultural Property

Rehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious(ternples, mosques etc.) likely to be affected by the project is required by The World BankOperational Policy 4.11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

As per survey done by MMRDA, there are no such structure affected by this project.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigaffton Measures

5.1 Introduction

The previous sections described the possible ernironmental impacts from the DC-AC project.This section is dedicated to formulating Environmental Mitigation measures for the adverseenvironmental impacts identified for the project and drawing up of an EnvironmentalManagement Plan (EMP).

Interviews and site visits have not indicated any significant adverse environmental impactcaused due the project activities. Any adverse impacts expected will be due to disposal ofhazardous waste material such as scrap transformers. No significant adverse impacts areexpected during the operation stage of the project.

Thus, as far as this project is concemed, recommendations for EMP implementation includethe following:

* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for civilconstruction works and other related activities - Sub-stations, cable laying etc.

* EHS measures for waste handling, storage and disposal.* EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism including Institutional framework

5.2 EHS Mitigation Measures

The mitigation measures identified in Tables 3.1 and 3.2 should be complied by WR andCR by assigning responsibilities for the same to various departments and making it a part ofcontractor requirements where relevant.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmentalmanagement organisation:

* In the consolidated EA report for. MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the ProjectImplementation Agency (PIA). However, CR/WR is the PIA for this project. MRVC is thecoordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and CR\NR.

* Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apartfrom periodic general inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHSelements of the project.

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program

The main objectives of a monitoring program are:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures during the construction andoperation phases.

* To satisfy the legal and community obligations• To respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early stage and to verify the

accuracy of environmental impact prediction.

Environmental impacts for the project are limited to those caused by handling and disposal ofwastes, particularly hazardous wastes such as Transformers and transformer oils and cablelaying work, cutting of trees, minor civil construction work etc.

The objectives of monitoring described above will best be achieved for this project bya comprehensive periodic site inspection program for EHS elements for the on-goingconstruction activities.. The significant environmental impacts of this project is related tohazardous waste handling and disposal and monitoring of ambient air quality, noise, wateretc. for the construction and operation stages of the project are not recommended for thisrailway project.

6.2 EMP Monitoring and ReportingAs described in Section 6.1 above, an effective inspection program will go a long way toassure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. The inspectionprogram needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by CRNVR and theparameters for inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The existinginstitutional arrangement mentioned in Section 6.4 ahead is adequate.

6.2.1 EMP Monitoring and Reportina durina Construction Phase

The project implementation work for Greater Mumbai is yet to take off. Currently there is noprocedure for site EHS inspections, which could be followed for on-going constructionactivities.

Based on the site observations, level of awareness of staff (as found during site assessment,interview of CR staff and during audit of BVQR/Santacruz-Borivali project), the followingprogram and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHS implementation at theupcoming construction sites:

a. Monthly inspection program by CR/WR for all on-going and up-coming projectconstruction sites. The inspection will be carried out by the Engineer in-charge ofthe construction site, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as perAnnex 4. The inspection will be carried out during the entire period ofconstruction activity including before start of construction and immediately afterconstruction is complete.

The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed engineerto the Chief Engineer (WR/CR). Corrective action plan with time frame forimplementation for any non-compliance to be also-submitted.

(Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works such as sub-stationconstruction site, scrap yard, cable laying site etc. However, a group of similaractivitfes could be inspected using the same checklist.

b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specffied inAnnef 5.

c. A copy of the completed monthly inspection checklist should be sent by the ChiefEngineer (CR/WR) to MMRDA every month for review. The inspection checklist fora month along with the corrective acton plan, ff any, shall reach MMRDA no laterthan the 15th day of the next month (This will be applicable mainly for MUTPProjects with Worid Bank Aid Component)

d. MMRDA to carry out independent f'- party inspection of various construction sitesevery quarter during the construction activity and also after construction iscompleted to assess any residual environmental impact. A Project ManagementConsultant (PMC) could be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Reviewchecklist given in Annex 4 could be used for this purpose. (This will be applicablemainly for MUTP Projects with World Bank Aid Component)

Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental SenvicesConversion Project of Railways

6.2.2 EMP Monitoring and Reportina during Operation Phase

There are no significant adverse environmental impacts during the operation phase of this railproject, except for. Thus operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for thefollowing:

* Health and survival rates of the compensatory and other plantation done by CRNWR.* Monitoring of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) sites for the people displaced due to

the project (If Any). This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this auditreport.

The monitoring program and procedure suggested is as follows:a. CRIWR to carry out survey of plantation done as per the approved Plantation Plan.

Checklist given in Annex 6 could be used for this purpose. Survey to be done 6-monthlyfor 3 years and to be submitted to MMRDA for review by MMRDA and World Bank.

b. Regular inspections of stores and scrap yards to assess adequacy of safe handling ofhazardous waste material and other wastes.

21


6.3 INSTITUTIONAL SETUP

The construction activities of the project are being implemented by CR and WR. The existingorganisational structure of Westem Railways for DC-AC conversion activity is given below inFigure 1. This structure is for the construction phase. In the operation phase thecontractors and site-incharge function will not be present. Similar structure exists for CentralRailway

ANNEX-1B

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

1. The project will be implemented within the Indian legal framework and will also comply withthe safeguard policies of the World Bank. The applicable legal and policy framework isdescribed below.

Applicable Indian Legal Requirements2. The applicable Indian legal provisions are described in two groups one related to

environment and the other related to resettlement.

Legislation related to Environment

3. There are various Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable for different environmentalcomponents such as Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, Coastal Areas,Hazardous Materials Handling and Transport, Forest and Wildlife. In addition, regulatoryprovisions by way of environmental clearance also exist. The applicable acts andregulations are listed below.

Environmental (Protection) Act, 19864. This is an umbrella act for environmental protection. Various rules and notifications are

issued from time to time under the provisions of this Act. Environmental Protection Rules(2000) specify standards for ambient air quality whereas Noise Pollution (Requlation andControl) Rules, 2000 provide for the ambient noise standards in public places Howeverlegal mechanism to achieve these are not explicit in terms of emission at source intransport sector except for the vehicle emission norms like Euro II or Bharat II that havebeen prescribed. The Environmental ImpactAssessment Notification. 1994 (asamended inMay 1997) make environmental clearance mandatory for 29 categories of developmentalprojects listed in Schedule 1 of the notification. Railways are not listed in schedule 1 andhence do not need environmental clearance. For other components under MUTP, MoEFhas confirmed that environmental clearance EIA notification is not required.

Coastal ReQulation Zone Notification, 19915. The notification provides for determining certain areas between the Low Tide Line

(LTL) and High Tide Line (HTL) and adjacent land ward area as the CoastalRegulation Zone and its classification into CRZ I -ecologically sensitive and coastalwetland between HTL and LTL, CRZ II - where development has already occurredand CRZ IlIl - the residual area largely rural in character. The notification alsoprescribes prohibited activities in CRZ and activities that can be taken up with theapproval of MoEF. Reclamation being a prohibited activity cannot be undertaken inCRZ

The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act. 19756 GOM legislation requires every local authority to constitute a Tree Authority. No tree can be

felled withoutthe permission of this authority. The Road development agencieswill havetoobtain the permission of the Tree Authority for felling of trees in the right of way and followthe Tree Authorities stipulations in respect of transplanting or compensatory plantation.

Legislation related to R & R.

Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act):7. This act provides for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes by paying

compensation at the market rate with 30% solatium for the compulsory nature of acquisitonand interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notification of land for acquisition.

Maharashtra Regional and Town Planninq Act. 1966 (MR&TP Act):8. The act provides for preparation of Regional Plan for the MMR as a whole and preparation

of Development Plans (Master Plans) for the local jurisdiction of individual municipalauthority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999 whereas theDevelopment Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 1991. The Regional Plan is policyoriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specific and prescribesdetailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, which.can then be acquired in conjunction with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The actalso provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of DevelopmentControl Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistent with the Regional Planand the Development Plan.

Development Control Regulations for Greater Munibai 1991 (DCRs):9. The DCRs set out the standards for building design and construction, provision of services

like water supply, sewerage, site drainage, access roads, elevators, fire fighting etc. Aseparate stt of regulations is included for the redevelopment or resettlefnent of slums,which are administered by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). Buildings procured forR & R have to conform to these DCRs. Up-front clearance of the entire project is howevernot required under the DCR. Approvals are to be obtained for individual scheme, as it getsprepared.

10. These regulations prepared under the MR & TP Act offer an alternative to acquisition underLA Act by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR). The permissible Floor SpaceIndex (FSI) defines the development rights of every parcel of land in Mumbai. If a particularparcel of land is designated for a public purpose the landowner has an option of acceptingmonetary compensation under the LA Act 1894 or accept TDR (equivalent to the plot areatimes the permissible FSI), which can be sold in the market for use elsewhere in Mumbai.The DC Regulations have been amended to provide incentives for rehabilitation (includingresettlement of slum dwellers) in 1997. For landowners prepared to provide 225 sq.ft.dwelling units free of cost to slum dwellers, the incentive is in the form of right to build andsell floor space equivalent to that required for slum rehabilitation subject to the maximumin-situ utilization of FSI of 2.5. The remainder of the total development rights can be usedas TDR. In case of land designated for resettlement of slum dwellers affected byinfrastructure projects, the land owner has an option of offering dwelling units to the projectimplementing agency free of cost and getting the benefit of maximum of TDR equivalenttofloor area calculated at FSI of 3.5 (1 for land and 2.5 for the built-up area)

The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960:11. This act provides for establishing, registering and administering the co-operative societies.

Housing co-operative is a special form of co-operative society, where the land and building

is owned by the co-operative and its members have occupancy rights of apartmentoccupied by them. Sale and purchase of such units can take place only with the consent ofthe society. This is a common form of tenure in Mumbai's apartment buildings and is widelyunderstood.

Applicable World Bank Policies12. Given that MUTP has been developed with the intention of mobilizing financial resources

from the World Bank, project preparation has included a number of studies andassessments which have sought to address and meet the requirements of the WorldBank's environmental and social policies, often referred as the 'safeguard' policies. Thenext paragraphs provide a summary overview of how these guidelines have beenconsidered.

Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)13. In the context of the Bank's Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 on Environmental Assessment,

MUTP has been classified as category "A" project, largely on the basis of the large numberof people requiring resettlement and rehabilitation. Because of the large-scale resettlementand the triggering of more than one safeguard policy the project is also classified as "S1 " interms of safeguard issues. A consolidated EA including SEA has been prepared thatprovides the framework for preparing sub-project specific EA and EMPs in compliance withthe World Bank policy.

Cultural Propertv (OP 4.11):14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological

(prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Culturalproperty, therefore, encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (forexample, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmental featuressuch as canyons and waterfalls. The World Bank's general policy regarding culturalproperties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination.

15. Mumbai with its history of nearly three hundred years is rich in cultural propertyparticularly in the form of built heritage. GOM and MCGM are acutely aware of the need toconserve such heritage. GOM in 1995 with the involvement of NGOs listed over 600buildings and precincts as of heritage significance. DCR 67 governs the development ofthese listed buildings and precincts. GOM has also constituted a Heritage ConservationCommittee in 1995 to advise the Municipal Commissioner regarding developmentpermission to be granted in case of listed buildings and precincts. No developmentpermission can be granted of the listed buildings or within the precincts without the consentof the Heritage Committee.

16. During the execution of works, if a 'chance find a of archaeological significance occurs, thecontract requires the contractor to immediately inform the employer and stop further work.Employer will in turn inform the state Archaeology Department for further investigation.

17. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are smallplaces of worship established by the community of squatters within the right ofway. These have been created by the affected communities for their own use.Such places of worship do not possess any histoncal or architectural significancee,nd may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property.Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs Theplaces of worship and other community assets are identified dunng the BSES.Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process inconsultation with the community. The impact on these properties and the manner.inwhich such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categones. Firstly the

buildings that are only partially affected can be helped to add equivalent area elsewhereadjacent to the building. Secondly structures that are fully affected by the right of way butare patronized by the community that is not affected by the project could be rebuilt outsidethe right of way in consultation wth the community and with assistance of the NGO. Insome cases the entrance to the structure could be reoriented to ensure safety of thedevotees visiting the place. Thirdly the affected structuresthat patronized by the communitybeing resettled could be relocated in consultation with the community. In addition, thecommunity may agree to forego some places without insisting upon their resettlement.

Natural Habitat (OP 4.04):

18. Natural habitats are defined as land and water areas where (i) the ecosystems' biologicalcommunities are formed largely by native plant and animal species, and (ii) human activityhas not essentially modified the area's primary ecological functions. All natural habitatshave important biological, social, economic, and existence value. Important natural habitatsmay occur in tropical humid, dry, and cloud forests; temperate and boreal forests;Mediterranean-type shrub lands; natural arid and semi-arid lands; mangrove swamps,coastal marshes, and other wetlands; estuaries; sea grass beds; coral reefs; freshwaterlakes and rivers; alpine and sub alpine environments, including herb fields, grasslands, andparamos; and tropical and temperate grasslands. Critical natural habitats include existingprotected areas and areas officially proposed by governments as protected areas (e.g,reserves that meet the cnteria of the World Conservation Union [IUCN] classifications i.e.Strict Nature Reserve/Wilderness Area: protected area managed for science or wildernessprotection; Il-National Park: protected area managed mainly for ecosystem protection andrecr.eation; Ill-Natural Monument: protected area managed mainly for conservation ofspecific natural features; IV-Habitat/Species Management Area: protected area managedmainly for conservation through management intervention; V-ProtectedLandscape/Seascape: protected area managed mainly for landscape/seascapeconservation and recreation; and VI-Managed Resource Protected Area: protected areamanaged mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems. The conservation of naturalhabitats, like other measures that protect and enhance the environment, is essential forlong-term sustainable development. The Bank therefore supports the protection,maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic andsector work, project financing, and policy dialogue. The Bank supports, and expectsborrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management to ensureopportunities for environmentally sustainable development.

19. From this perspective one of Mumbai's notable natural habitat is limited to the 103 sq.km.National Park at Borivali, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula between thetwo rail corridors. The National Park is protected under the Indian Forest Act. None of thesub-projects passes through the National Park. The other important Natural Habitat is thecoastal wetlands in the eastern and western suburbs and along the Vasai creek. These areprotected by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification of 19 February 1991.

Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4 30)

20. The Operational Directive 4.30 describes Bank policy and procedures oninvoluntary resettlement, as well as the conditions that borrowers are expected tomeet in operations involving involuntary resettlement. Planning and financingresettlement of projects are an integral part of preparation for projects that causeinvoluntary displacement MUTP will require resettlement of about 19000households (68000 persons). The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

is therefore applicable to the project. In compliance with to this policy an R & RPolicy has been prepared and adopted by GOM for MUTP. RAP providing theoverall framework of policy, entitlements, consultative processes, grievanceredressal mechanism, component costs and monitoring and evaluation mechanismhas already been prepared. Sub-project specific RIPs are being prepared.

Indigenous People (OD 4.20)

21 This operational directive describes Bank policies and processing procedures for projectsthat affect indigenous peoples. It sets out basic definitons, policy objectives, and guidelinesfor the design and implementation of project provisions or components for indigenouspeoples. The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tibal groups,"and "scheduled tribes" describe social groups with a social and cultural identty distnctfromthe dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in thedevelopment process. For the purposes of this directive, "indigenous peoples" is the termthat will be used to refer to these groups. Indigenous peoples can be identified in particulargeographical areas by the presence in varying degrees of the following characteristics: (a)a close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas; (b)self-identification and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; (c) anindigenous language, often different from the national language;(d) presence of customarysocial and political institutions; and (e) primarily subsistence-oriented production.

22. About 1% of the PAHs of-MU-TP belong to the Scheduled Tnbes. A field-based reviewwasundertaken to determine if these PAHs were subject to application of this Policy since theymight have originally belonged to tribal communities in the distant past. As of now they areintegrated with the city life and do not have their traditional habitat or follow tradibonal waysof life. More particularly, (a) they no longer have close attachment to ancestral territories;(b) they do not identify themselves or are identified by others as distinct cultural group; (c)they do not speak an indigenous language; and (d) they no longer belong to customarysocial and politcal institutions. There is also a general reluctance to reveal the caste ortnbe particularly pronounced when data is to be kept in public domain. Itwasdeterminedbythe review thatthe soctal impact of the project on such people is therefore similar to that onother PAHs and thus the policy does not apply. No separate Indigenous PeoplesDevelopment Plan (IPDP) has therefore been prepared.

Other Safeguard Policies

23. World Bank has other safeguard policies dealing with Pest Management, Forestry, Safetyof Dams and Projects in International Waterways or in Disputed Areas. These are howevernot applicable to MUTP.
