    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    1. GENERAL The purpose of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to assist in the

    decision making process and to ensure that the project options under

    consideration are environmentally sound and sustainable. This Environmental

    Impact Assessment (EIA) study has been conducted to identify possible

    environmental impacts and to suggest ways for mitigating or minimizing

    them. The EIA also identifies the possible benefits and adverse impacts on the

    environment as a result of construction and operation of the project. The

    Environment Management Plan (EMP) provides a plan which, upon

    implementation, will reduce impacts of the project and minimize

    environmental degradation.

    2. OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT Water Resources Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh proposes to

    construct a 27.2 m high dam across Bina River near Hanota village of Tehsil

    Khurai in District Sagar in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Catchment area up to

    the proposed dam site is 2252.14 sq km.

    The project will irrigate 40,000 ha of Culturable Command Area (CCA) and

    benefit 182 villages. The creation of reservoir due to construction of dam will

    lead to submergence of 3560.02 ha of land, of which, 2810.52 ha is private land

    and 749.50 ha is government land. Total 46 villages will be affected due to

    submergence. The project is envisaged to have a gross storage capacity of

    150.22 MCM and the live storage capacity of 146.84 MCM. The location of the

    project is shown in Figure 1.

    6.2 Physiography

    To understand the topography of the study are, Digital Elevation Map, Relief

    map, and slope map were prepared from Digital Elevation Model (DEM).

    Elevation in the study area varies between 378m and 632m above msl.

    Majority of the study area falls under Gently sloping to Moderately sloping

    categories constituting nearly 98% of the study area.

    6.3 Meteorology

    Average mean maximum temperature of 42.20C in Sagar district recorded

    during the month of May while average mean minimum temperature of

    12.80C was recorded during the month of January. In Vidhisha district, average

    mean maximum temperature of 42.30C was recorded during the month of

    May and average mean minimum temperature of 11.7°C during the month of

    January. The mean annual average rainfall was recorded as 1449.25mm in

    Sagar district while, 1541.03mm in Vidisha district. The Relative Humidity is

    generally low throughout the year, except during monsoon months when

    average relative humidity is close to 82% in Sagar and 84% in Vidisha district in

    the month of August. The wind speed is higher during the pre-monsoon

    period as compared to the post-monsoon period. The average maximum wind

    speed of 18.5 Kmph is observed during the month of June at Sagar district and

    20.7 Kmph in month of May for Vidisha district.

    6.4 Soil

    Dominant soil type in study area is comprised of Fine montmorillonitic,

    hyperthermic, Typic Haplusterts which have Deep, moderately well drained,

    clayey soils on very gently sloping plain land with moderate erosion. Soil

    fertility status of the area was assessed based upon soil test results. The soil of

    the area is reddish brown and black and the texture of soil in general is

    predominantly sandy-loamy. The soil fertility based upon Nutrient Index in

    terms of NPK, in case of Nitrogen and Potassium it is Medium while in case of

    Potassium it is Low. Wheat, soybean, gram and vegetables are the major crops

    grown in the study area.

    6.5 Ambient Air Quality

    It was observed during the air quality monitoring that the vehicles are the

    only source of air pollution in the study area. The concentrations of PM10,

    PM2.5, SOx and NOx at all the sites were well within the Residential & Rural

    area permissible limits prescribed by National Ambient Air Quality Standard

    2009 notified by CPCB.

    6.13 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

    Study area comprises of 261 villages falling under Bina & Khurai tehsils of

    Sagar district and Kurwai & Pathari tehsils of Vidisha district. Study area

    villages include 182 benefited villages, 13 affected as well as benefited villages

    and 33 affected villages also. The villages, where land/ property irrespective

    of their ownership are likely to be partially or fully submerged due to the

    project have been taken as Project Affected Villages while villages located in

    the command area have been termed as Project Benefited Villages.

    6.13.1 Socio Economic Profile of the Sampled Villages

    Socio-economic survey of villages located in the project study area was carried

    out on sample survey basis. Under the sample survey, 29 villages out of the

    total 182 project benefitted villages and all the 26 project affected villages

    were selected, which constitute about 25 % sample size.

    7 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS

    7.1 Ambient Air Quality

    Irrigation schemes in general do not have much impact on air environment

    during their operation, however, due to construction activities such as

    excavation, movement of material, operation of construction equipment,

    storage of material, etc. air pollution do occur requiring control by mitigation

    measures.

    In an irrigation project, air pollution occurs mainly during project construction

    phase. During operation phase, no major impacts are envisaged.

    7.2 Noise Environment

    During construction period sources of noise will be the vehicles and

    equipment for excavation and construction at the project site. Due to

    construction activity in the area, noise levels will increase during the period of

    construction, however, they will remain limited to the work area mainly

  • Bina Project Management Unit Executive Summary of Hanota Irrigation Project

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 12

    where large-scale construction activity will progress. Additionally, noise levels

    will increase on approach roads due to increased traffic.

    However, no major impacts are envisaged on noise environment during project

    operation phase.

    7.3 Water resources

    Water is used in construction activities leading to wastewater generation with

    high suspended solids. Similarly, effluents due to washing from truck or

    equipment etc. would have high concentration of oil and grease. Assessment of

    quantum of wastewater from such activities is difficult, however, they can impact

    the nearby water bodies if surface run off with high suspended solid is washed

    into them. The major impacts during operation of project considered as a part of

    the study are

    Changes in flow regime in downstream

    Impacts on ground water

    Impacts on waterlogging and soil salinity

    Changes in water quality due to increased use of fertilizers

    7.4 Land Environment

    7.4.1 Impact Due to Muck Generation

    Muck, if not securely transported and dumped at pre-designated sites, can have

    serious environmental impacts, such as:

    Can be washed away into the main river which can cause negative impacts

    on the aquatic ecosystem of the river.

    Can lead to impacts on various aspects of environment. Normally, the land

    is cleared before muck disposal. During clearing operations, trees are cut,

    and undergrowth perishes as a result of muck disposal.

    In many of the sites, muck is stacked without adequate stabilisation

    measures. In such a scenario, the muck moves along with runoff and

    creates landslide like situations. Many a times, boulders/large stone pieces

    enter the river/water body, affecting the benthic fauna and other

    components of aquatic biota.

    Normally muck disposal is done at low lying areas, which get filled up due

    to stacking of muck. This can sometimes affect the natural drainage pattern

    of the area leading to accumulation of water or partial flooding of some

    area which can provide ideal breeding habitat for mosquitoes.

    7.4.2 Impact due to Waste Generation

    The main sources of wastes in case of the proposed project can be divided

  • Bina Project Management Unit Executive Summary of Hanota Irrigation Project

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 13

    into following categories:

    Municipal waste from residential areas

    Solid wastes from labour camps

    Bio-medical wastes from Dispensary

    Construction and demolition waste

    Solid waste generated from temporary and permanent colonies during

    construction and operation phase will be disposed off as per Solid Wastes

    Management Rules, 2016 issued by MOEF vide S.O.1357 (E) dated 8th, April

    2016, and for any infrastructure development for collection, storage,

    segregation, transportation, processing and disposal of municipal solid

    wastes.

    7.4.3 Impact due to Land Requirement and change in land-use

    Major impact of land acquisition is permanent change of landuse, which is

    unavoidable. Additionally, land acquisition has impacts on local population by way

    of loss of their agriculture land and hence livelihood and also impact on flora and

    fauna by way of loss of forest land and clearing of vegetation on acquired land.

    Mitigation and management of such impacts is discussed as part of EMP.

    7.5 Terrestrial Ecology

    During project construction phase, labour population is likely to congregate

    near various construction sites. Overall there will be marginal increase in

    population at various construction sites, of which major populations may be

    inclined to use fuel wood which may have adverse impact on flora. Hence, to

    minimize such impacts, community kitchens and use of kerosene and cooking

    gas have been recommended. Project construction and operation can have serious irreversible impacts on the wildlife habitat and their migration between protected areas. It is recommended that a separate wildlife management plan should be prepared in consultation with expert agency and local forest department to ensure that project construction and operation should not interfere with the habitat of wildlife in surroundings.

    7.6 Impact on Socio-economic Environment

    a) Positive Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment

    The entire project has been designed to benefit the farmers and

    bring about positive change by providing water for irrigation

    A number of marginal activities and jobs would be available to the

    locals during construction phase.

  • Bina Project Management Unit Executive Summary of Hanota Irrigation Project

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 14

    b) Negative Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment

    Project would require acquisition of 2810.52 ha of private land

    leading to affecting 775 families. These families will be resettled and

    rehabilitated as per the provisions of The Right to Fair Compensation

    and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and

    Resettlement Act, 2013.

    In addition, influx of workers and floating population during project

    construction phase can lead to cultural clashes, law and order

    concerns and health issues.

    Project construction may bring about some changes in the socio-

    economic environment of the area including increased threats to the

    health of the community.

    8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

    8.1 Biodiversity Conservation & Wildlife Management Plan

    The biodiversity management plan is based upon the understanding of

    diversity and distribution of floral and faunal species gathered during

    preparation of baseline, identification of existing threats to biodiversity,

    concerns of local inhabitants and impacts of developmental activities on

    animal and plant species. The proposed plan focus mainly on promotion of

    eco-developmental activities and creating environmental awareness.

    8.2 Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) Plan

    In the present study, CAT Plan has been formulated for the catchment till the

    proposed dam site on Bina river. The total area of the catchment is 2252.14 sq

    km. The plan has been prepared as per the guidelines of Soil & Land Use

    Survey of India (SLUSOI), Government of India.

    The catchment area treatment involves

    Understanding of the erosion characteristics of the terrain and,

    Suggesting remedial measures to reduce the erosion rate.

    8.3 Fisheries Development Plan

    To mitigate the adverse impact of Hanota Irrigation project on aquatic ecology

    of the area, the following measures shall be adopted to protect and preserve

    existing aquatic life:

    Development of reservoir fishery

    Releasing /ensuring minimum Environment flow in the river

  • Bina Project Management Unit Executive Summary of Hanota Irrigation Project

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 15

    8.4 Command Area Development Plan (CAD Plan)

    The Command Area Development Plan (CAD) must be implemented in a

    holistic manner with irrigation project so that irrigation potential created

    gets utilized with improvement in water use efficiency, increase in

    agricultural productivity and production and to bring sustainability in the

    irrigated agriculture in a participatory environment. The main objective is

    reducing the gap between irrigation potential created and that utilized.

    8.5 Rehabilitation & Resettlement Plan

    There are 746 project affected families, from 46 villages who are identified as

    the families whose land and/or houses will be acquired for the project. The

    Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan has been prepared to comprehensively

    address the issues arising out of land acquisition, assessment of

    land/house/asset coming under acquisition, estimation of extent of loss and

    compensation to be offered in line with The Right to Fair Compensation and

    Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013

    (RFCT_LARR).

    8.6 Landscaping, Restoration & Green Belt Development Plan

    After the project work and related activities are over restoration work should

    be carried out in these disturb areas to bring them back to their similar or

    near-similar pre-construction conditions and land use.

    Green belt development will comprise of plantations at various places like

    alongside roads, around the periphery of reservoir rim, and at different

    project offices and colonies.

    8.7 Reservoir Rim Treatment Plan

    The Hanota Irrigation project is proposed on the Bina River and total extent of

    the reservoir is about 3560.20 ha. The water level of the reservoir will

    fluctuate during operational period leads to little chances of sudden draw

    down of water in the reservoir, yet due to presence of loose material at the

    banks of reservoir sliding cannot be ruled out.

    A combination of engineering as well as biological measures has been

    suggested for slope stability and control of landslides in the reservoir area.

    8.8 Muck Dumping Plan

    Muck generated from dam’s foundation after assuming swell factor of 25%

    has been estimated as 78,34,387 cum which shall be utilized for construction

    of earthen dam, producing coarse and fine aggregate for concrete production

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 16

    and in fillings for developing areas for construction facilities.

    Muck requiring disposal from laying pipe line network especially rising and

    gravity mains has been estimated as 11,61,765 cum. In addition, some muck

    will also be generated while lying distributary network and field channels. The

    total muck so generated will be utilized for refilling of the trenches and the

    approach road proposed to be constructed along the canal.

    8.9 Solid Waste Management Plan

    The project authority shall, within the territorial area of the project complex/

    colony, be responsible for the implementation of the provision of Solid

    Wastes Management. Adequate facilities for collection, conveyance and

    disposal of solid waste will be developed. Any solid waste generated in the

    project complex/ project colony/ labour colony, shall be managed and

    handled appropriately. Various aspects of solid waste management include:

    Reuse/Recycling

    Storage/Segregation

    Collection and Transportation

    Disposal

    8.10 Public Health Delivery System

    Medical services at secondary level play a vital and complimentary role to the

    tertiary and primary health care systems and together form a comprehensive

    district based health care system. Following activities are proposed:

    Ambulance: 2 no. with all the basic Medicare facilities and small DG set,

    etc. to cater for project staff and villages in the project area.

    First aid posts including sheds, furniture, medico, para-medico/Nurses

    and attendant, consumables and basic equipment.

    Budget for strengthening existing medical facilities.

    Budget for Health Awareness/ Vaccination Camps

    8.11 Energy Conservation Measures

    With an estimated migrant population during peak construction of around

    900 persons in the area, the existing facilities will become insufficient for

    supply of kitchen fuel for the migrant population during the construction of

    the project. Fuel for cooking and space heating is an essential requirement

    and in the absence of adequate fuel availability they will resort to tree cutting

    for use of fuel wood. Therefore, the project authorities would make adequate

    arrangements such as upgradation of LPG depot, Community kitchen, Supply

    of Kitchen fuel, efficient cooking facilities and Solar Lantern.

    8.12 Ground Water Management Plan

    The plan shall be implemented through the state Water Resource Department

    in close association with CGWB and the following broad parameters shall be

    included and the cost shall be funded by the State and Center

    Aquifer mapping

    Strengthening of groundwater monitoring observation wells

    Training and capacity building

    Participatory groundwater management

    Groundwater Assessment, regulation, information dissemination etc.

    8.13 Environmental Safegaurds During Construction

    Management of construction-related impacts would be the responsibility of

    the project proponent (through its contractors, as and where relevant, and as

    described in the EMP). Air and water are two major environmental factors

    that are directly affected by any kind of construction activity. Apart from

    pollution aspect from construction sites and construction activities, another

    major concern during construction work is related to workers safety.

    To ensure the all the mitigation measures remain in place for the entire

    duration of the project it is proposed that a rapid audit will be carried out

    every three months and a detailed third party audit every year to take

    corrective and preventive measures for control of pollution and ensuring

    workers safety.

    8.14 Disaster Management Plan

    In order to visualize the worst case scenario Dam Break Modeling exercise

    was undertaken and an inundation map was prepared. Based upon the

    outputs generated from this modeling, a Disaster Management Plan has been

    formulated. This plan presents warning and notification procedures to be

    followed in case of failure or potential failure of the dam. The purpose is to

    provide timely warning to the population likely to be affected and alert key

    people who have to take respective actions in case of an emergency.

    8.15 Environmental Monitoring Plan

    Monitoring shall be performed during all stages of the project (namely:

    construction and operation) to ensure that the impacts are no greater than

    predicted, and to verify the impact predictions. The monitoring program will

    indicate where changes to procedures or operations are required, in order to

    reduce impacts on the environment or local population. The monitoring

    program for the proposed project will be undertaken to meet the following

    objectives:

  • Bina Project Management Unit Executive Summary of Hanota Irrigation Project

    RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 18

    To monitor the environmental conditions (Ambient air and noise quality) in

    the project area and nearby villages during construction as well as

    operational phase of the project;

    To monitor the surface and ground water quality in the project area

    To monitor the status of terrestrial biodiversity within the project area.

    To check on whether mitigation and benefit enhancement measures have

    actually been adopted, and are proving effective in practice.
