KARNATAKA STATE HIGHWAYS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KSHIP)
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT
E. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – EPC & ANNUITY PACKAGES
E.1 Introduction:
This report summarizes the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) for the Project, including project background, applicable legal and policy
framework and environmental monitoring standards, significant potential adverse impacts on the
physical, biological and socio-economic attributes of environment along with mitigation measures in
the project area, analysis of alternatives, public consultation programs and environmental
management plan. This Executive Summary prepared for the Karnataka State Highways Improvement
Project II - World Bank funded EPC and Annuity packages serves as a concise environmental report.
E.2 Project Background:
The Karnataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHIP) is an initiative by the Public Works
Department (PWD) of the Government of Karnataka (GOK), to undertake improvement of State
Highways and Major District Roads.
Under a previous World Bank (WB) assisted KSHIP-I program (2001 to 2007), 2,406 km state roads
covering State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDR) were improved. An updated
Strategic Options Study (SOS), recently performed for the core road network under the control of the
PWD, identified a further 7,094 km of State Highways as potential candidate roads for prioritized
improvement. A techno-economic feasibility study and environmental/social screening of about 4,900
km of SOS and other roads completed in November 2006 evaluated the feasibility of improvement
works and established a priority ranking of 3,411 km of roads. KSHIP-II comprises the subsequent
improvement program of 3,411 km identified through this feasibility study. To facilitate this, the
Government of Karnataka appointed M/s Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick UK with Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick
India as the Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC) to carry out the Detailed Project Report (DPR)
for upgradation of the 3411 km of roads.
From the 3,411km of roads, a total of 832.51 km of roads have been selected for upgradation under
conventional construction contracts (268.59 km) and Annuity concessions (563.92 km). The
conventional construction contracts are referred to as EPC (engineer, procure and construct). The
proposed EPC1 and Annuity
2 projects are grouped into five contract packages (consisting of eight road
links) and four contract packages (consisting of seventeen road links) respectively. None of the EPC
and Annuity road links pass through any protected area including tiger reserves.
The Annuity concessions are structured such that the concessionaire receives a pre-determined
amount of money as part-payment during the construction period and annuity payments every year
during the operation and maintenance period in return for the obligation to develop and maintain the
highway for the duration of the concession period (10 years). The concessionaire is provided with the
designs and drawings (including DPR). However, the concessionaire is allowed to improve upon the
design on the basis of given standards and specifications, with minimum required standards for certain
components such as horizontal & vertical alignment, pavement to be met. The concessionaire shall
1 EPC contracts: Under EPC (engineer, procure and construct), contractors would build roads and hand over to
GOK, and the cost of the project is fully met by GOK from public funds and World Bank assistance. 2 Annuity concessions: In Annuity, the concessionaires would design, finance, build, operate and maintain the
road for a specified period, at the end of which the road would be transferred to GOK. The financing of
construction would be partly met through World Bank assistance. The concessionaires would finance the
balance and recover monies through Annuity payments from GOK.

construct the project within the project site provided by the GOK. No additional land acquisition will
be required during the implementation. The project site is based on the DPR designs, complying with
all the latest environmental guidelines with respect to environmental protection and conservation. The
scope of work of the concessionaire also includes preparation of required Environmental Monitoring
and Management Plans to be implemented for the proposed road construction works.
E.3 Need and Scope of Environmental Assessment:
Under the techno-economic feasibility study of 4,900km, the roads were subjected to Multi
Criteria Analysis (MCA) and environmental screening. Roads that did not qualify in techno-
economic feasibility studies and sensitive corridors passing through wild life sanctuaries and
national parks were screened to avoid negative impacts on eco-sensitive areas to arrive at a
length of 3,411 km of roads for DPRs under KSHIP-II.
The scope of the environmental study during the DPR stage includes screening, scoping, preparation
of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan reports as per
the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India (GoI) and
meet the requirements of Operational Policy 4.01of World Bank.
EIA notification, 2006 by MOEF, GoI covers expansion of state highways greater than 30km,
involving additional right of way > than 20m involving land acquisition and necessitates
preparation of EIA and EMP. Further, the WB OP 4.01 stipulates need for EA and EMP
under WB financing. In line with these guidelines separate Environmental Impact Assessment
reports have been prepared for EPC and Annuity packages including link wise Environmental
Management Plans.
E.4 Description of Project:

E.4.2 Typical road cross-section types adopted:
Based on the analysis of the primary and secondary data on these road links and comparing various
alternatives to avoid, mitigate and compensate the adverse impact on environment and safety for road
users, cross sections presented in Table E-2 have been evolved and recommended in the EMP. Two
different categories of cross-sections have been used in the design - rural cross-sections and urban
cross-sections. The table below includes various cross sections proposed for the project roads.

The cross-sectional details adopted are consistent with IRC guidelines.
E.4.3 Design speed:
Design speeds have been selected in compliance with the relevant IRC Guidelines. A
minimum design speed of 80 kph is considered for the project roads in line with the type of
terrain traversed. However, a target design speed of 100 kph has been adopted for all rural
sections in plain terrain. In village areas/built up areas, a posted speed of 50 kph has been
adopted from safety considerations.
E.4.4 Re-alignments/ Horizontal curve improvements:
Re-alignments are generally considered to avoid stretches of road that have significant constraints on
improvement – such as heavily built up areas with restricted width where the R&R costs would be
very high. There are 3 major re-alignments required on these roads. Also, to provide for safe
operation, minor re-alignments were carried out at sharp curves with inadequate sight distance, in
line with geometrical standards as set out in IRC guidelines.

In order to carryout geometric improvement at junctions, it was decided to categorise them
under Major junctions and Minor junctions. Major junctions involved are those with NHs,
SHs and MDRs that carry higher traffic volumes. Village roads and other roads with lower
traffic volumes were typically considered under minor junctions. The number of junctions
identified for improvement is presented in the table below. The improvements would provide
for higher capacity and safe operation.

E.6 Description of baseline environment:
Information on baseline environment was collected from secondary source of data for the macro
environmental parameters like climate, physiography (Geology and geomorphology), biological and
socio-economic environment of the project influence area. The micro-environmental details within the
Corridor of Impact (CoI) have been collected from Primary source of data such as base maps prepared
by reconnaissance survey, extrapolation of environmental features on the proposed design, tree
enumeration, Analysis for environmental parameters such as Air, Water, Noise and Soil quality on the
project road.
The proposed road links proposed for improvements are spread across the state of Karnataka. Road
links 6C, 21B, 19A, 19B, 19C & 19D are on the Northern Karnataka Plateau; road links 10A, 10B,
13A, 13B, T8, M7D, T21, M7A, M7B & M7C are on the Central Karnataka Plateau and road links
67A, 67B, 63A, 63B, 63C, 63D, 63E, 64F and 64G are on the Southern Karnataka Plateau.
Topography of the project areas varies from mixture of flat to undulating terrain to gently undulating
terrain with residual hills.
The mean maximum temperature of the project area varies from 36.48 0C to 44.62
0C and mean
minimum temperature from 9.73 0C to 12.58
0C. The annual normal rainfall of the project area varies
from 383 mm to 821 mm.
Air quality, noise levels, water quality and soil characteristics for the proposed project roads have
been monitored at representative locations.

and oil seeds and major part of corridor 19 is through black cotton soils suitable for growing wheat,
tobacco, pulses, oil seeds and sugar cane.
The project road links 67A, M7D, T8, 63C, M7A, M7B and T21 requires some forest land diversion.
None of the project roads pass through the protected areas such as National Parks and Wildlife
Sanctuaries. Details of EPC and Annuity project roads along with distance from nearest notified
protected area are presented in Table E-1.
The project roads run mainly through cultivable land growing verities of crops connecting many
human habitations such as villages and towns. Public institutions like schools, hospitals, banks,
religious, community and commercial structures are located along the road side which facilitates the
general public with good service. Some of the major urban settlements with commercial activities
along the proposed project corridors are Hosakote, Hanagal, Haveri, Dharwad, Saundatti, Devadurga,
Gulbarga, Malavalli, Maddur, Kunigal, Tumkur, Madhugiri, Mudhol, Chikkodi, Shimoga, Shikaripura
and Talikota. The basic features of demography along the study corridors have been studied
and indicated in the report. The figures of 2001 census of population have been used.
E.7 Stakeholder Consultation:
Consultations during pre-feasibility, feasibility and environmental assessment stage have been
conducted with the objective of involving local communities in the project planning (participatory
planning). The follow up consultations have been held at project roads as a part of disclosure to
highlight the salient features of the project. The stakeholders of the project included affected
communities (within the corridor of impact) and other institutional stakeholders. The details of public
consultations are presented in the Table E-10.

During the consultations, specific suggestions, issues, and concerns were sought from the local
communities and stakeholders. Some of the issues discussed during consultation process are provision
for parking areas; public comfort station; bus bays; bypasses and realignments; drainage; road user
safety; road side (avenue) tree planting; solid noise barriers to alleviate noise generated from the
traffic near schools and hospitals; provision of foot paths; speed breakers; sign boards; crash
barriers/parapet; dust control measures; proper compensation paid to the PAPs; availability of water
for construction; minimizing tree cutting; compensatory tree plantation and conservation of natural
water sources, etc.
E.8 Analysis of Alternatives:
The objective of this section is to highlight some of the salient issues considered for exercising
options such as “project with alternative”, “project with mitigations” and “no project scenario”. The
alignment alternatives of constituent road links were selected after finalization of these alternatives.
An analysis of various alternatives is attempted to arrive at the technically and
environmentally best-fit alternative. Alternatives in terms of realignments, bypasses, different
cross-section types have been considered to avoid the places of congestion and human settlements,
significant old trees, religious and community assets and environmentally sensitive areas (forest lands,
erosion prone areas, flood regions, etc). KSHIP is an upgradation project of existing State Highways.
No new alignments are being proposed except realignments and bypasses to improve the road
geometrics and avoid congested human settlements. Hence, the scope for project alternatives in terms
of alignment alternatives is limited. There are no bypasses proposed along the EPC project roads.
Similarly alternative route analyses for annuity links were carried. Based on this analysis, three major
shifts in alignments at Huliyardurga (63B), Koratgere (63E) and Madhugiri (64F) have been
proposed.
E.9 Potential Environmental Impacts and Mitigation measures:
Some of the significant environmental impacts of proposed road projects on the natural environment
and nearby communities are discussed in the section. The identified impacts could be largely
mitigated through engineering designs, good construction practices accompanied by a site specific
mitigation measures. Largely these mitigation measures have been made part of civil works contract.
Other mitigation/enhancement measures such construction of solid and vegetative noise barriers
across sensitive receptors and compensatory avenue tree plantation have been suggested for
implementation separately by KSHIP and involving other governmental agencies.
No significant change in the macro-climatic parameters (precipitation, temperature and wind) is
envisaged due to the project but cutting of roadside trees, laying of paved surface and other
construction activities temporarily modify the microclimate. Avenue plantations shall be taken up
under the compensatory plantation programme on either side of the road to counter the indicated
impacts on the physical environment.
There would be an increase in daytime temperature near the newly paved surfaces of the road due to
increase in the surface area of blacktop of widened road. This impact shall be mitigated by planting
rows of avenue plantations.
Surface runoff may be increased due to increase in the paved surface of the project roads overloading
the existing drainage facilities seldom causing floods at low lying areas. Raising of embankment
height and improvement of both longitudinal and cross drainage shall be done to avoid flooding of
flood prone section. Run off water recharge pits shall be constructed to facilitate the infiltration of
runoff water into the ground.

Air quality along the project road alignment, major settlement locations like Hosakote (WEP 1),
Hanagal and Haveri (WEP 2), Dharwad and Saundatti (WEP 3), Devadurga (WEP 4) and Gulbarga
(WEP 5), Malavalli, Maddur, Kunigal, Tumkur and Madhugiri (WAP 1), Mudhol and Chikkodi
(WAP 2), Shimoga and Shikaripura (WAP 3) Talikota (WAP 4) and at construction establishments
(batching plants, hot mix plants, crushers, etc) will be impacted temporarily during construction
activities. To counter the impact on the air quality in the project area asphalt plants, crushers and
batching plants shall be sited at least 1 km in the downwind direction from the nearest human
settlement. Vehicles delivering loose and fine materials like sand and fine aggregates shall be covered
with tarpaulin covers to reduce spills on existing roads. Water shall be sprayed on earthworks,
temporary haulage and detour roads on a regular basis. The hot mix plants will be installed with dust
extraction units and cyclones/scrubbers to reduce exhaust gases.
There will be gradual enhancement of air pollution due to increase in number of vehicles on the
improved roads. Avenue and median plantation along the road sides and medians respectively should
help to control dust and fugitive emissions by operating vehicles from reaching the receptors.
The noise impact due to the project will be of significance both during construction as well as
operation stages. The community abutting project road and construction establishments will be
adversely affected by increase in noise level due to operating equipments and construction activities
of project road. Mitigation measures such as use of enclosures, walls, installation of mufflers around
noisy equipment; substituting quieter equipment or construction methods; timing of noisier
construction and demolition activities; providing Personnel Protective Equipments (PPE) to the
workers; locating construction establishments away from sensitive receptors; construction of noise
barriers at sensitive receptors; etc shall be taken up to reduce the impact of noise.
Soil compaction and contamination is envisaged at construction camps, labour camps, concrete
batching plants, hot mix plants, borrow areas, quarries and along access roads to these construction
establishments. Soil erosion is anticipated at bridge and culvert construction sites. As part of
mitigation measures top soil shall be preserved and back filled after the rehabilitation of
quarry/burrow areas Natural geographical contours and natural landscape shall be preserved and
maintained. If haulage roads are inevitable on productive agricultural land, it shall be reclaimed to the
original nature after the completion of construction activity. All construction establishments such as
construction camps, labour camps, and material storage areas shall be rehabilitated to the original
condition after the completion of construction work.
The major land use in the project area is agriculture and some stretches of the project constitutes built
up areas /settlements having active commercial and economic activity along the roadside. Agricultural
and commercial activities will be disturbed temporarily during construction phase.
Domestic solid waste from construction and labour camps shall be segregated into biodegradable and
non biodegradable before being sent to treatment. Biodegradable wastes are treated by composting
and non biodegradable wastes are either recycled or disposed off to an authorised land fill site.
Untreated waste water from construction camps and labour camps will pollute the surface water
bodies. Liquid wastes generated from the construction camps and labour camps shall be treated to the
prescribed norms before disposal.
There are two tributaries of minor river Tupari (flowing across 21B); two tributaries of major river
Krishna (flowing across 13B) and rivers Dharma and Varada (flowing across M7D & T8 respectively)
are in the impact zone and river Krishna (near 13A road link) is in the influence zone EPC corridors.
There are two minor rivers Varada, Dharma (M7C) and river Dona (10A) in the Impact zone. There
are no major rivers except few canals and other streams in the influence zone of Annuity corridors.

These streams might be temporarily impacted during construction of road embankments, cross
drainage structures and cut and fill activities, by temporary increase in the silt inflow. These impacts
shall be mitigated by constructing cross drainage structures during the lean flow periods of summer;
provision for silt traps at regular intervals, especially at major cross drainage structures to trap the silt
before it reaches the water bodies. Some of the water supply units adjacent to project road within
proposed ROW will be impacted. Water supply resources such as bore wells, taps, water cisterns,
pipelines, etc. being impacted shall be relocated before the construction starts.
Total of 39,607 (EPC - 17,311 and Annuity – 22,296) trees are impacted due to the project and
aproximately 1,66,502 (EPC - 53,718 and Annuity - 1,12,784) avenue trees shall be planted on both
sides of the project roads.
A variety of utilities serving the regional needs like electric poles, electric transformers, telephone
poles, telephone junction boxes which are within impact zone shall be impacted. Some of the religious
structures (such as temples, mosque, church, shrines, arali kattes) and community structures (such as
schools, hospitals, bus shelters, etc.) by the sides of the project roads are impacted directly or
indirectly. Mitigation measures include shifting of all utilities and relocation of religious and
community structures in consultation with the public before the start of construction.
There are several locally important cultural properties – religious as well as community structures that
may be impacted by the project. The project includes adequate measures to ensure that the impacts on
these are managed properly. Chance-find procedures are also included in the contracts to handle any
such situations.
Road project requires materials such as aggregate stone metal, murrum and sand for the construction.
Procuring these materials from stone quarries, borrow pits and sand quarries leaves scars on the land,
increase the soil erosion and leads to loss of productive soil. These impacts shall be mitigated by
suitably rehabilitating the quarries, murrum borrow pits after the extraction of required material is
complete. Quarries shall be opened only after obtaining all the required statutory clearances from the
respective authorities. Borrow area management plan shall be prepared to rehabilitate the borrow pits.
The topsoil in the borrow area shall be stored separately and used to cover the area after rehabilitation.
Sourcing of the sand shall be made from leased sand mines only.
Major or minor accidents are envisaged during construction of roads by lack of knowledge on
handling of new equipments, workers functioning without proper personal protective equipment.
Injuries get worsen if first aid facilities are not there at construction sites. Injuries and accidents to
workers at construction shall be avoided by providing required training on using the equipments and
provision of personal protective equipments along with first aid facilities at construction sites.
Periodical health check-ups shall be arranged for the workers to ensure good health. Preparation and
implementation of road safety plans during project implementation is an important mitigation
measure. Labour camps shall not be located within 1000m of major habitations to avoid outbreak of
communicable diseases. Arrangement for storage and supply of potable water shall be made to the
workers.
It is usual that nearby public and commuting transportation will suffer from inconveniences,
additional time, cost and distance during construction period. Contractor shall prepare Traffic
Management Plan to ensure least interference to the free flow of traffic and local public.
On the positive aspect, the proposed road project will improve the connectivity between urban centers
and nearby rural areas and economic and social wellbeing of rural communities by improved access to

markets, jobs, education canters and health care services. Tourism in the project area will boost the
local economic activities. Good roads also reduce travel time, fuel consumption and pollutants emitted
by the operating vehicles.

E.11 Environmental Management Plan:
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) deals with the implementation procedure of the guidelines
and mitigation measures recommended to avoid, minimize and mitigate foreseen environmental
impacts of the project. The implementation of environmental management plan needs a suitable
organization set up and the success of any environmental management plan depends on the efficiency
of the group responsible for implementation of the programme. It is proposed to carryout regular
environmental monitoring to provide information to the management for periodic review and
alternation of the environmental management plan as necessary so as to ensure that environmental
protection is optimized at all stages of the project implementation. Link wise Environmental
Management Plans have been prepared for both EPC and annuity links. For annuity links,
Concessionaire will prepare EMPs incorporating the proposed design changes and corresponding
environmental management and mitigation measures for the identified impacts.
Environmental monitoring is an essential component for sustainability of any developmental project.
It is an integral part of any environmental assessment process. The monitoring programme consists of
performance indicators, reporting formats and necessary budgetary provision. For each of the
environmental condition indicators, the monitoring plan specifies the parameters to be monitored,
location of the monitoring sites, frequency and duration of monitoring. The monitoring plan also
specifies the applicable standards, implementation and supervising responsibilities. The monitoring
will be carried out by PIU through the approved agency and will be supervised by the Environmental
Experts of the Construction Supervision Consultants and PIU.
Environmental Management Plan Implementation Unit (EMPIU) established under KSHIP I has been
continued for KSHIP II. This EMPIU with the assistance of the Environmental Specialist of Project
Design and Environmental Officer (EO) of the CSC (for EPC) and Independent Engineer (for
annuity) will be responsible for implementing all environmental monitoring and management works
and ensure that all statutory requirements are met during the project implementation. Organizational
setup for PIU and EMPIU is illustrated in the Figure E.2.
The engineering staff of PIU, Construction Supervision Consultancy (for the EPC contracts),
Independent Engineer (for the Annuity concessions) and the contractor/concessionaire who would be
responsible for the implementation of the EMP, need to be trained on environmental issues of specific
road development project. Looking into the potential requirements of each of the target groups,
several training modules have been planned. The training would cover the basic principles and
postulates of environmental assessment and mitigation plans; implementation techniques; monitoring
and management methods and tools.
The budgetary provision for the implementing EMP of the road project has been made in 2 parts
based on responsibility for the execution.
The Part „A‟ works to be undertaken has been quantified and quantities included in the respective
BOQ items in the civil works contract packages. These cover items such as safe disposal of
unserviceable materials with suitable top soil treatment; dust mitigation during construction phase;
recharge pits; silt fencing; sign boards for tourist and ecologically sensitive areas if any; safe disposal
of scarified bitumen in clay lined pits; construction of noise barriers for silent receptors; monitoring of
air, water, noise and soil characteristics; provision of oil interceptors; provision of personal protective
equipments for labourers; provision for two health checkup; utilisation of unserviceable material and
enhancement of roadside water bodies.

Part „B‟ works of redevelopment of oxbow lands and other leftover lands; raising median plantations;
compensatory plantation; compensatory provisions in terms of Net Present Value (NPV) for diverted
forest lands, if any; providing environmental management training at all levels are discussed under
mandatory works to be implemented by Government Departments or other agencies as per the
regulatory requirements.
In addition to the above, water bodies (max. of one per link) along the project roads both under EPC
and EPA will be developed.

E.12 Conclusion:
The up-gradation of existing State Highways, involves less significant environmental impacts and
most of these adverse impacts of road project are temporary and local in nature. Most of these impacts
can be minimized through engineering solutions incorporated into the project design and by
implementing adequate and timely mitigation measures as included in the Environmental
Management Plan. Therefore the overall findings of the EIA are that the proposed improvement to
above mentioned roads are unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts.
Further, Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plans for EPC and
Annuity projects are being reviewed by independent reviewer as a part of World Bank‟s requirement.
The review for EPC contract packages is about to be completed and for Annuity packages the review
is in progress. The comments from the independent reviewer will be addressed and incorporated in the
respective reports.
