1. Background

Uttarakhand comprises of 13 districts that are grouped into two regions (Kumaon and Garhwal)

and has a total geographical area of 53,484 sq. km. The economy of the State primarily depends

on agriculture and tourism. The State has a very fragile terrain that, by virtue of its very origin,

is prone to natural disasters.

The entire State falls within Zone IV and Zone V (Zone V represents the highest level of

seismicity) of the Earthquake Zoning Map of India. The districts of Bageshwar, Chamoli,

Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi fall within the Seismic Zone V.

Every year, the state faces massive losses, particularly during the monsoon season, due to rains,

cloudbursts, flash floods, landslides, floods, hailstorms and water logging events.

1.1 The Disaster

Monsoon in June 2013 arrived almost two weeks earlier than expected. During June 15 to 17,

2013, cloud bursts and heavy (64.5 - 124.4 mm) to very heavy rainfall (124.5 – 244.4 mm) hit

several parts of the higher reaches of the Himalayas. This unprecedented rainfall resulted in a

sudden increase in water levels, giving rise to flash floods in the Mandakini, Alakananda,

Bhagirathi and other river basins and also caused extensive landslides at various locations.

Districts of Bageshwar, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi were worst hit by

this disaster. Numerous landslides and toe erosion by the sediment loaded rivers caused

breaching of roads/highways at many locations and washed away several bridges (steel girder

bridges, beam bridges, suspension/cable bridges).

The World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on receiving a request from the

Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Government of India (GoI), fielded a Joint Rapid Damage

and Needs Assessment (JRDNA) Mission within the State.

Accordingly a loan assistance of US $ 250.00 million was granted on October 25, 2013 with an

objective to restore housing, rural connectivity and build resilience of communities in the

affected district of Uttarakhand. Out of five components of UDRP project (described in table-1),

this ESMF audit report is prepared covering only 1st and 2nd component of UDRP project which

are “Resilient Infrastructure Reconstruction” and “Restoration of the Rural Road Connectivity”.

1.2 Uttarakhand Disaster Recovery Project

Based on the findings from the JRDNA, The Uttarakhand Disaster Recovery Project (UDRP)

proposes the following five components that cover the immediate recovery and reconstruction

needs within the most affected districts of the State and future oriented risk reduction efforts. A

short description of objectives and activities in each of the components is given overleaf

Component Sub-Component Description Resilient Infrastructure Reconstruction

The objective of this component is to

focus on the immediate needs of

reconstruction of damaged houses and

public buildings.

Resilient Permanent Housing

Building 2,500 permanent houses that would be multi-disaster resilient.

Resilient Public Buildings

Support the reconstruction of damaged public buildings, such as Panchayati Raj Institution

(PRI), Block and District offices and technical education institutes, including restoration of

partially damaged and reconstruction of fully damaged structures.

Rural Road Connectivity

The objective of this component is to

restore the connectivity lost due to the

disaster through the reconstruction of

damaged roads and bridges: village

roads, Other District Roads (ODRs),

bridle roads and bridle bridges. The

roads and bridges will be designed to

withstand earthquake and flood forces

as per the latest official design

guidelines.

Village/ Rural Roads

This will support the reconstruction of about 3,600 kms of damaged village roads,

following the PMGSY program standards and will include construction of new drainage

woks and bridges, retaining and breast walls and other structures to prevent landslides,

and minor realignments.

Other District Roads (ODR)

This will involve the reconstruction of about 675 kms of damaged ODRs, linking village

roads to Major District Roads (MDRs), State Highways (SH) and/or National Highways

(NH) to increase access and provide opportunities for overall economic development.

Bridle Roads and Bridges

This will undertake the reconstruction of about 440 kms bridle roads and about 140 bridle

bridges, facilitating pedestrian connectivity for remotely located villages.

Technical Assistance and Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Management

Enhance the capabilities of government entities and others in risk mitigation and response.

Risk Assessment, Modelling and Capacity Enhancement of Uttarakhand Space Applications

Centre (USAC).

Financing Disaster Response Expenses

1.3 Environmental and Social Audit

1.3.1 Need for Environment and Social Audit

The ESMF requires detailed

supervision, monitoring and evaluation

of the impact of the project on the

environment and social aspects. In

order to ensure this, PMU has made

specific arrangements at state and

district level. At the PMU an

Environmental Specialist and a Social,

Community Development and Gender

Specialists are appointed on full time

basis to guide project implementing

agencies, consultants and contractors

in complying with the ESMF. These two

specialists are primary focal points for all environmental and social aspects and for ESMF

compliance. These two specialists are engaged on a day to day basis in environmental and social

safeguards implementation and monitoring; they also do capacity building of the implementing

agencies, consultants and contractors while hand-holding them during implementation.

At the field level, staffs of implementing agencies have experience to implement projects

concerning their departments. However, implementation of the provisions of ESMF is new to

these staff and hence several orientations and trainings are proposed as a part of this ESMF to

build their capacity. Further, to implement and supervise the environmental and social aspects

as per the ESMF, design and supervision consultants have also been appointed.

In order to achieve the objectives of this ESMF and to ensure the safeguards are implemented in

a proper manner within provisions of Contract Agreement, an Independent environment and

Social Audit (ESA) has been carried out.

1.3.2 Objectives of ESA

The core objective of ESA is to assess effectiveness in implementation of ESMF, its compliance

during project execution and to suggest implementable corrective action. Beside this the

elaborated objectives are to:

Review and verify compliance of ESMF during project planning and implementation.

Assess the impacts of the sub projects on local environment and communities and how

the project area is sensitive to the project activities.

Assess the effectiveness of implementation of ESMF in the subproject activities

Fundamental Principles of Audit

Regular and Comparative

Verified and Disclosed

Comprehensive and Inclusive

Equity and Social Responsibility

Participatory and Engaging

Transparency and Accountability

Peoples Wellbeing and Caring

Multidirectional and Multi-perspective

Gender Sensitive and Encouraging Women

Exhibit 1: Fundamental Principles of Audit


Samaj Vikas 4

Review and verify how effectively the provisions made in Environmental and Social

Management Plan and are being implemented.

Identify and document good practices during project execution.

Assess institutional and administrative effectiveness and make recommendations on

improving ESMF compliance.

1.3.3 Scope of ESA

Scope of ESA is to:

Review and evaluate the method adopted for collection of environmental and social

data, screening, preparation of mitigation plans and its implementation in sub-projects.

Review how ESMF is integrated into the Contract Agreement (CA) of civil work.

Check for availability and compliance of applicable clearances and permission from the

statutory authorities.

Check for Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

(if any) preparation and implementation.

Incorporating Environmental and Social Management requirements into Bidding

Documents.

Review of Institutional arrangements for implementation, monitoring & reporting of

Environmental and Social components/ activities and identify gaps/ areas that need

improvement including capacity building requirements.

Carry out field visits to selected/ sampled sub-projects to assess how environmental and

social issues have been addressed (or being addressed) on the ground.

Identify and document good practices from proactive sub-projects which can be

replicated across the state and sector.

Prepare an ESA report that clearly specifies

o deviations in implementing environmental and social measures, if any,

o enhancement and positive measures to be taken at the sub-project level, if any

o Provide recommendations for further improvement of environmental and social

management practices at the sub-project level.

The ESA Consultant is to review and verify for compliance the sampled sub-project activities,

including environmental and social standards, environmental, health and social safeguard

measures, taking into consideration the ESMF and larger regulatory frameworks of the Central

and State Government.

2. Environment and Social Management Framework

2.1 Understanding ESMF

ESMF deals with the laws, regulations and policies, of Government of India, Government of

Uttarakhand and the World Bank’s OPs, related to environment and social issues. The ESMF

provides the regulatory framework for environmental and social components, for implementing

agencies to comply with during execution of project.

2.1.1 Environmental – Legal and Regulatory Framework

The environmental regulatory framework, consisting of various laws , act s and

regulations, which are applicable to the sub-projects are given below:

Operational Policies

OP/BP 4.01: Environmental Assessment - Potential environmental consequences of

projects identified early in project cycle. EAs and mitigation plans required for projects

with significant environmental impacts or involuntary resettlement.

OP/BP 4.04: Natural Habitats - Prohibits financing of projects involving "significant

conversion of natural habitats unless there are no feasible alternatives".

OP/BP 4.36: Forestry - Prohibits financing for commercial logging operations or

acquisition of equipment for use in primary moist tropical forests.

Environmental Regulations

The Environment (Protection) Act No.29 of 1986

Water and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 & 1981 (Central Act 6 of

1974) as amended in1988

Forest (Conservation) Act No. 69 of 1980 and amended in 1988

National Forest Policy, 1988

Joint Forest Management, 1993

The Wildlife (Protection) Act I972, Amendment 1991

EIA Notification of MoEF 2006

The Ancient Monuments, Archaeological sites and Remains Act, 2010

Biological Diversity Act 2002 / Biological Diversity Rules 2004

Other state governed act and rules like Van Panchyat Act 2005 , Uttarakhand

This policy and regulatory analysis suggests that the proposed sub-projects to be taken does not

fall under any of the project categories listed in Schedule-I of the Environmental Impact

Assessment Notification 2006 (and its subsequent amendment) and hence does not require any

prior environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment Forests and Climatic Change

(MoEFCC), GOI. None of the audited sub-projects falls under notified ecologically sensitive or

fragile regions the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Moreover, all of the audited sub-projects


Samaj Vikas 11

are of restoration of existing facilities/infrastructure and do not require additional land or

diversion of forest land.

2.1.2 Social – Legal and Regulatory Framework

The social regulatory framework, consisting of various laws, acts and regulations, which

are applicable to the sub-projects are given below:

Operational Policies

OP/BP 4.12: Involuntary Resettlement - Implemented in projects which displace people.

OP/BP 4.11: Physical Cultural Resources - to assist in the preservation of cultural

property, such as sites having archeological, paleontological, historical, religious and unique

cultural values.

Legal Regulations

2.2 Categorization of projects

2.2.1 Environmental Categorization

Sub-projects are assigned one of two categories (E1 & E2) for environmental assessment

depending on the significance of the associated environmental impacts of the various Project

components. The category is assigned based on the project's potential for environmental

impact. Under the operational policies and directives (OPs or ODs) of the World Bank, the

projects funded by the Bank are evaluated. They are thus “pre-screened” to avoid significant

environmental impacts and assess the requirement of various statutory clearances. The project

components included are roads, bridges and public buildings.

The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.01 stipulates carrying out Environmental Assessment

for projects proposed for banks financial assistance. As set out in BP 4.01, the project in the

earlier stage of development is assigned any one of the following three categories after

examining the project type, location, sensitivity, scale and potential environmental risks

associated with the project.

The E1 category sub-projects require conducting a comprehensive Environmental

Impact Assessment (EIA) and preparation of an Environment Management Plan (EMP)

by Independent Consultants prior to preparation of DPR for appraisal by PMU. This EIA

and EMP need to be disclosed before the start of procurement for that sub-project.

The E2 category sub-projects need not conduct an EIA, but require an EMP, which is to

be prepared by Design Consultants following the guidelines given in this ESMF. This

EMP becomes a part of the DPR, which will be appraised by PMU. If, under special

circumstances, PMU identifies a need for a limited environmental assessment, then it

needs to be conducted.

The project may be categorized as E1 & E2 for environmental Screening by World Bank. As per

the World Bank Operational Policy 4.01, for projects proposed for banks financial assistance, an

environmental audit has been conducted as part of Bank’s EA requirement.

Environmental Audit would examine the compliance with the ESMF for the sampled sub-

projects. The audit would identify appropriate measures, where possible, to mitigate areas of

concern with regard to environmental management and monitoring for the sampled

components. It would also examine the institutional framework to ensure proper

implementation of the environmental safeguards against planned setup in ESMF.

All sampled sub-projects under Uttarakhand Disaster Reconstruction project fall into “E2

category” and hence the design consultant will prepare the EMP for the respective projects. The

rationale for using the design consultant to prepare the EMP for E2 category subprojects is that

the impacts are moderate to minimal and the model EMP given in the ESMF need to be adopted

and modified to prepare a specific sub-project EMP.


Samaj Vikas 16

2.2.2 Social Categorization

Based on the number of project affected persons (PAPs) who may be affected by the project and

magnitude of impact, projects have been categorized as either S-1 or S-2 projects

S-1 Projects: The S1 category sub-projects require conducting a comprehensive Social

Assessment (SA) and preparation of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), by Independent

Consultants prior to preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for appraisal by PMU.

This SIA and RAP need to be disclosed before the start of procurement for that sub-

project.

If 20 or more PAFs are affected or if PAPs are physically displaced this will require a

detailed Social Assessment Report that would include Resettlement Plan prepared by

Independent Consultants

S-2 Projects: The S2 category sub-projects need not conduct SA but need to prepare an

Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP), and need to include the Social

Management Plan (SMP) which is to be prepared by Design Consultants following the

guidelines given in this ESMF. The preparation of ARAP requires a census survey of the

PAFs. This SMP becomes a part of the DPR, which will be appraised by PMU. If, under

special circumstances, PMU identifies a need for a limited social assessment, then it

needs to be conducted.

All sampled sub-projects under UDRP did not cause any physical displacement and less than

10% of their productive assets are lost (or) and less than 20 PAPs are affected in any single sub-

project; thus there was no need for any Social Assessment and preparation of RAP.

4. Audit Results and Findings

4.1 Compliance with ESMF

The detailed compliance requirements as per the ESMF were reviewed for each sub-project

selected as sample in first Audit cycle. Project wise compliances matrix of ESMF is presented in

Table No 10 below.

4.1.1 Statutory Clearances

EIA Clearance

None of the selected sample sub-projects require environmental clearance as per schedule

under the provisions of EIA Notification 2006. Also, none of the selected sub-projects lies in

notified Ecologically Sensitive Area and all selected sub-projects have been classified into E2

category.

Forest Clearance

Forest clearance is not required as the selected sub-projects do not require any land diversion

of protected / reserved forest.

Tree Cutting Permission

Out of the 24 selected sub-

projects for first round of audit

7 projects require Tree Cutting

Permission from Department of

Forestry.

Tree Cutting is required in the

following projects

Raipur Link Road (UID

- 1818), Haridwar – 2

trees

Tharali-Junidhar Road, (UID – 1275), Chamoli – 25 trees

Bridge over Alaknanda River at Aarudi- Paturdi (UID – 4006), Chamoli – yet to be

determined

Chepado Bridge (UID – 4004), Chamoli – yet to be determined

Didsari Bridge (UID – 4003), Uttarkashi – 2 trees

Food Godown (UID – 7318), Pauri – 4 trees

Govt. Inter College, Kotgi (UID – 7308), Rudraprayag – 1 tree

Although tree cutting permission is required for all the above mentioned projects, efforts are

being made to protect the trees on Raipur Link Road, Haridwar and Food Godown, Pauri by

changing the design. In Govt. College Kotgi, the contractor has managed to save the tree from

felling by slightly changing the location of building within the premises.

Tree Cutting permission has been obtained for Food Godown, Pauri only till the time of first audit.

The letter for obtaining tree cutting permission has been submitted to the Forest Department with

a copy marked to District Magistrate for Didsari Bridge in Uttarkashi.

PIU of Raipur Link Road (UID – 1818), Tharali- Junidhar MR (UID – 1275), Bridge over Alaknanda

at Arudi-Patrudi (UID – 4006), Chepado Bridge (UID – 4004) need to initiate the process of

obtaining Tree Cutting Permission from the Forestry Department.

NoC for HMP/Batching Plant

Out of the 24 sub-projects

reviewed in first audit cycle 4

projects require setting up of Hot

Mix Plant and therefore, require

NOC from DM as well as SPCB.

Hot Mix Plants (HMP) is to be

established for packages of

following audited sub-projects

Kanda Sariudiyan

Rawatsera MR (Uid –

1111), Bageshwar

Ukhimath Mansoona MR (UID - 2548), Rudraprayag

Kempti Bypass MR (UID – 2746), Tehri

Padampuri - Herakhan - Kathgodam MR (UID – 2004), Nainital

Out of these four audited sub-

projects, Consent to Establish

(CTE) and Consent to Operate

(CTO) for none of the HMPs

were available.

Contractor on Kanda –

Sariudiyan – Rawatsera MR

project had taken a written

NoC for establishing the HMP

for the project at the location

however the CTE and CTO

from SPCB need to be

obtained.

In case of Padampuri – Herakhan - Kathgodam project the

contractor as well as supervision consultants were not aware of the

requirements of CTE and CTO from SPCB. The contractor had

obtained verbal NOC from the DM.

Both the contractor and Supervision Consultants mentioned that

the verbal NoC from DM was a sufficient authorization required to

operate the HMP.

The Audit Team during visit to the site apprised both the

contractor as well as the Supervision Consultants that the

authorization from SPCB is required in the form of CTE and CTO for

establishing and operating the HMP

Samaj Vikas 23

All contractors who intend to establish HMP or Batching Plant need to obtain the following

documents authorizing them to establish and operate the plant – NoC from DM, CTE and CTO from

SPCB.

Storage, Handling and Transport of Hazardous Materials

None of the sub-projects selected for audit require storage, handling or transportation of

Hazardous materials hence authorization from SPCB is not required.

Location / Layout of Workers Camp

The workers camps are required in only those cases where the workers / laborers from other

place are moved in to the project location for construction related activities. Since the volume of

works in the sub-projects is quite low, the number of laborers required for construction related

activity is also not too high. On an average 20-25 workers / laborers are required in each sub-

project.

NoC from State Pollution Control Board is not required for any of the labour camps, established

in the sub-projects reviewed.

Permission for Sand Mining/Borrow Area /Aggregate

These permissions are not applicable to sub-projects selected for audit as all the contractors are

procuring construction material from government approved mines/quarries.

Supervision Consultants should ensure that the contractor submits the proof of royalty payment. A

copy of documents showing that the agency from which the aggregate and sand is procured, has a

valid license/permission, must be obtained by contractor.

4.2.1 Environmental and Social Data Sheets

The ESMF requires basic

environmental and social data

pertaining to the proposed sub-

project to be compiled at the field

data collection stage. For this

purpose, an Environmental and

Social Data Sheet (ESDS) and a

Socio-Economic Survey format were

formulated for sub-projects.

The sub-project Implementing

Agency (IA)/DSC fills up the ESDS

with the facilitation support of the

DPIUs duly identifying the environmental and social issues of concern. Supplementary notes on

environmental and social concerns to be added to those data sheets.

The ESDS are evaluated to prepare Environmental and Social Screening Reports included in the

DPR and / or Tender Documents for the contractor.

DPR of almost all sub-projects selected for audit contained the environmental and social screening

reports except for Harinagar – Kulau – Gwaldam (UID – 1118), Bageshwar sub-project, where

the Social Screening Report was not available in the DPR.

4.2.2 Environmental Management Plan

On the basis of ESDS a mitigation plan is prepared for environmental and social management.

However in all the audited sub-projects reviewed a generic Environment Management Plan has

been prepared and no site specific social or environmental issues were considered during the

preparation of DPR.

As a result social and environmental issues are hindering the implementation of projects

particularly in case of Bridges. Sub-projects and related social and environmental issues are

presented in table below

Revise the EMP – Account for Site Specific Issues

It would be very helpful for the PMU if the Supervision Consultants are advised to update the EMP in

taking into account the site specific social and environmental aspects for each of the sub-project. Some

of the points that must be remembered while suggesting the revision of EMP are

Sub-Projects where progress is 50% or less may be taken up for revision of EMP.

EMP may be revised in a time bound manner using the existing resources.

Labour Licence for Public Building Projects could not be obtained as the concerned PIU is not

yet registered with the Office of Labour Commissioner. The process of registration has been

initiated by the PIU in coordination with the PMU.

DSC must ensure that the contractors of all the sub-projects obtain the labour licence for the

requisite number of labours deployed in the sub-project / package. A copy of the labour licence

must be submitted to the DSC and PIU for records.

4.2.4 Labour Insurance

Labour Insurance is required in all

sub-projects where labour whether

local or migrant is engaged in

construction activities. Contractor

must obtain insurance of its

laborers so as to ensure that

adequate financial provisions are

available in case of any injuries

during accident or emergency.

Out of the 24 sub-projects

reviewed contractors of following

four sub-projects have not

obtained Labour Insurance.

Tharali – Junidhar MR (UID – 1275), Chamoli

Chepado Bridge (UID - 4004), Chamoli


Kempti Bypass MR (UID – 2746), Pauri

DSC must ensure that Contractors of all sub-projects obtain labour insurance for adequate number

of its staff and labourers engaged in construction related activities. A copy of the insurance must

be made available to the PIU and DSC office for records.

4.2.5 NoC for Hot Mix Plants

NoC from DM as well as SPCB is required wherever Hot Mix Plants are to be established. The

4.2.6 NoC for Construction Water

Water for Construction or sprinkling is sourced either from ground water sources –

pumps/tube wells or surface water sources – river / drain / canal or community water sources

– public taps, community wells etc.

In most of the cases, contractors of sub-projects reviewed are obtaining construction water

from community sources and therefore require a NoC from the village head or Sarpanch or local

community leader.

In almost all the 24 sub-projects

reviewed during first audit cycle, the

contractor has informed the sarpanch

as wells as the community members

about the project however NoC for

construction water is obtained by the

contractors of following 2 projects

only

Kanda-Saniudiay-Rawatsera

MR (UID – 1111), Bagheshwar

Govt. Inter College, Kotgi (UID

– 7308), Rudraprayag.

DSC of all sub-projects must ensure that the contractor has adequately informed the sarpanch or

village head or local community leader and a copy of the same must be maintained at the PIU and

office of DSC for records.

4.2.7 PUC for Construction Vehicles

All construction vehicles must

comply with the existing emission

norms defined by Central Pollution

Control Board (CPCB). Contractors

of all sub-projects must ensure that

a valid PUC certificate is obtained

for all construction vehicles used,

during entire phase of construction

activity.


during the first audit cycle the PUC

The contractors of sub-projects in Pithoragarh claimed that there is no operational Pollution

Certification center hence they are unable to obtain the PUC for their vehicles.

DSC must ensure that the contractors of all sub-projects obtain PUC for all construction vehicles

engaged in construction activity. DSC must maintain a sub-project wise record of list of vehicles

used, registration number, details of PUC along with the expiry date so that the contractors may be

informed for renewal prior to expiry of expiry of PUC.

4.2.8 Authorization of Quarries

Contractor shall procure construction material only from permitted sites and licensed / authorized

quarries.

In all the sub-projects reviewed during first audit cycle the contractors are procuring the construction

material from authorized quarries and a copy of royalty paid is submitted to the PIU.

EHS Awareness Program

Training of workers on Health and Safety issues is to be undertaken by the contractors of all sub-projects

as per the contractual requirements. No EHS Awareness program was conducted by the contractor in any

of the sub-projects reviewed during first audit cycle.

DSC must ensure that the contractor of all sub-projects must organize EHS Awareness and training program

on quarterly basis. The contractor should inform the DSC as well as the PIU about the training program and

a report detailing out the topics discussed, queries raised by the trainees, photographs of the session and

attendance list must be prepared and submitted to the DSC as well as the PIU.

First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit is required in all projects

where any construction activity is

undertaken. Contractors of all sub-

projects should maintain a proper First

Aid Kit at the project site – one at the

construction camp, adequate

arrangements on site where construction

activity is underway.

Personal Protection Equipment

The Contractor is required to comply with

all the precautions as required for the safety

of workers as per the International Labour

Organization (ILO) Convention No. 62.

Contractors should supply all necessary

safety appliances such as safety goggles,

helmets, masks, etc., to the workers and

staff.

However in the reviewed sub-projects most

of the contractors as well as the staff were

ignorant of the safety issues. In several

cases the contractor had not provided the

safety equipment like boots and gloves to the staff as well as laborers. In some cases where the protection

equipment had been provided, the workers were ignorant and were not using them while engaged in

construction activities.

On the site of Hot Mix Plant of Kanda – Saniudiay –

Rawatsera MR (UID – 1111), Bageshwar, a worker

was found handling the hot-mix in slippers as seen in

Picture 1.

The ESA team found that the workers on following

four projects were using the complete set of PPE.

Punave – Sipty – Nyari MR (UID – 1355),

Champawat

Uffalda – Dhelchauri MR (UID – 2270), Pauri



DSC must ensure that the contractors of all sub-projects provide adequate PPE to its staff and laborers. A

record of the same may be maintained. Any non-compliance observed during the site inspections may be

noted and the contractor be advised to comply with immediate effect.

Construction / Labour Camps

Movement of migrant labours to the

project site may lead to interaction of

labour with the community members /

village people in different ways.

These workers use community resources

– hand pumps, public taps etc., as source

for potable water.

In order to avoid any representation /

conflict / resistance from the community

members, the contractors should inform

the sarpanch or local head of the village or community about the project and obtain a written NoC from the

village head or sarpanch for establishment of labour camp and use of community water resources.

Though not a mandatory requirement it will be a safeguard for the contractor and deployed laborers.

In most of the cases rented accommodation is arranged by the contractors with adequate facilities.

However in a few cases labor camps had to be constructed as temporary shelter for the migrating

workers. Labour camps have been

constructed in the following 5 sub-

projects



Kempty By-Pass (UID – 2746), Tehri



Contractors of none of the sub-projects

had obtained the written NoC from the sarpanch of the nearest village or community head, for

establishment of labour camp and use of community water resources except following two sub-projects

Kanda – Sanudiay – Rawatsera MR (UID – 1111), Bageshwar

The supervision consultants should ensure that the contractors constructing the labour camps must have a

written NOC from the village sarpanch (land owner in case

of private land) of the nearest village for establishing the

labour camp and use of community water resources and

those contractors using the rented accommodation should

have a proper rent agreement.

Compensatory / Road Side Plantation

Compensatory or road side plantation is

required where ever tree cutting is

necessary to clear the site for

construction activities. As per the

recommendations in ESMF, “Trees felled

will be replaced as per the compensatory

afforestation criteria in accordance with

the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. Two

trees will be planted for every tree lost

along the sub-project roads”

Out of the reviewed 24 sub-projects there

is a provision of compensatory plantation

in DPR of both Public Building Projects. While tree cutting is required on two road projects and three

bridge projects there is no provision of compensatory plantation on these projects in DPR.

Sub-Projects where plantation whether compensatory or for improving aesthetics is required are


Bridge over Alaknanda River at Arudi – Patrudi (UID – 4006), Chamoli






PIU must ensure that wherever tree cutting is required, provision of compensatory or road side plantation is

made.

Noise Barrier

Noise barrier is required near residential

buildings and noise sensitive receptors

(schools, hospitals, religious places).

There is a provision of noise barrier in 6

sub-projects reviewed during first audit

cycle. None of these sub-projects have

5. Good Practices, Identified Issues and Suggestions

5.1 Some Good Practices

In most of the audited sub-projects, it is observed that the contractor’s main focus was to

complete the work as soon as possible. In some cases, this has led to paying inadequate

attention to implementation of EMP/SMP or other environmental and social aspects of the

project. It is important to note that some contractors have shown a lot of enthusiasm in taking

care of their labor and other environmental and social aspects of the project. Some of the good

practices identified during the audit cycle are as under

Government Inter College Kotgi (UID-7308): M/S Surat Singh and Sons, the contractor of

Public Building in Kotgi has initiated a children education program for the children of all

laborers.

All the kids in school going age have been provided admission in a school near the labor camp

location. A special arrangement has been made to provide for the Day care, a female worker

from the camp is assigned a responsibility to take care of the kids after school timings. The

Care Taker is paid wages as per the prevailing wage rate.

This is unique work done by contractor in UDRP project.

Enclosure of construction site to trap unwanted dust at Govt Inter College Kotgi (UID-

7308), Rudraprayag.

Use of muck for leveling of nearby PWD road at Punav-Sipty Nayari Motor Road (UID-

1355), Champawat.

Provision of Solar power light at Punave-Sipty Nayari Motor Road (UID-1355),

Champawat

Change in alignment of Didsari Bridge (UID – 4003), Uttarkashi, to prevent damage to

existing private building.

Trolley installed as a temporary arrangement to cross the river at site of Didsari Bridge

(UID – 4003), Uttarkashi.

o Around 60-70 school going children benefit from the use of trolley every day.

5.2 Observations and Suggestions

Revise the EMP – Account for Site Specific Issues

It would be very helpful for the PMU if the Supervision Consultants are advised to update the

EMP in taking into account the site specific social and environmental aspects for each of the

sub-project.

ARAP: ARAP should be prepared in case private land / property is to be acquired. ARAP is

required particularly for all the Bridge Projects reviewed.

ARAP is required for Bridge over Alaknanda River at Arudi Patrudi (UID – 4006), Chepado

Bridge (UID – 4004) and Didsari Bridge (UID – 4003).

Tree Cutting Permission: Required from Department of Forestry with a copy to DM,

wherever tree cutting is required for clearance of site for construction purpose.

Tree cutting permission had been obtained for Food Godown, Srinagar (UID – 7318), Pauri and

letter have been submitted for the Didsari Project (UID – 4003), Uttarkashi.

PIU of Raipur Link Road (UID – 1818), Tharali Junidhar MR (UID – 1275), Bridge over

Alaknanda at Arudi-Patrudi (UID – 4006), Chamoli, Chepado Bridge (UID – 4004), Chamoli

need to initiate the process of obtaining Tree Cutting Permission from the Forestry

Department. PMU may facilitate the process of obtaining requisite permissions.

Shifting of Utilities: Almost all the sub-projects require shifting of public utility like

drinking water supply lines or hand pumps or electric poles.

The contractors of all these sub-projects where the utility shifting is required may initiate the

process of informing the concerned departments and getting the utility structures shifted.

Shifting of Electric Poles: Wherever electric poles are located within the RoW the

Electricity department must be informed and a process for shifting of electric poles initiated.

Shifting of Electric Poles is required in Sahiya Patan Samalta Panuwa MR (UID 1577),

Dehradun, Raipur Link Road (UID – 1818), Haridwar, Food Godown (UID – 7318), Pauri, Govt.

Inter College (UID-7308), Rudraprayag.

Shifting of Drinking Water Supply Pipeline: Wherever the drinking water supply

pipeline is located within the RoW the concerned department PHED/PWD must be informed

and arrangement for shifting of such pipelines be made.

Shifting of Drinking Water Pipeline is required in almost all audited Road Projects.

Muck Disposal Site: Site for Muck disposal should be identified at DPR stage and re verify

during project execution. Also approval / NoC from the village head (land owner in case of

private land) should be in place


Samaj Vikas 61

NOC is required for Kanda-Saniudiay-Rawatsera MR, Salor - Dungra MR, Tharali-Junidhar MR,

Punav-Sipty Nayari MR, Sahiya Patan Samalta Panuwa MR, Uffalda - Dhelchauri MR,

Padampuri – Herakhan - Kathgodam MR, Arkani – Janasu MR, Badabe – Silingiya MR, Salya –

Tulanga MR, Kempti Bypass MR.

CTE/CTO for HMP/WMM: Where ever there is provision and requirement of establishing

HMP/WMM or construction camp, work should be started only after getting necessary

approval from pollution control board.

HMP have been established for following audited sub-projects Kanda Sariudiyan Rawatsera

MR (UID – 1111), Bageshwar, Ukhimath Mansoona MR (UID - 2548), Rudraprayag, Kempti

Bypass MR (UID – 2746), Tehri, Padampuri - Herakhan - Kathgodam MR (UID – 2004),

Nainital and contractors of none of these projects has obtained the CTE/CTO from SPCB.

PPE - Contractor shall take care of Public as well as worker’s health & safety. All the worker

and supervisors must have ADEQUATE Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

DSC must ensure that the contractor has provided adequate PPE to its entire staff and

labourers and they use PPE at site.

Labor Camps should be provided with adequate facility including drinking water storage,

proper sanitation, lighting, and waste disposal facilities. Contractors shall ensure that the

laborers residing in the camp have adequate and easy access to site or nearest road from the

camp.

The DSC must ensure that the labor camps are properly maintained and adequate facilities are

provided in these camps.

Water Sprinkling - Contractor should carry out and maintain a record / log book of water

sprinkling on approach roads to site.

Environmental Monitoring activity should be done thrice in a year excluding monsoon

season.

Before conducting environmental monitoring (air, water, noise and soil), contractor shall

intimate PIU and DSC about scheduled of monitoring/sampling. DSC Environmental

Specialist must supervise the sampling/monitoring and insure samples have been collected

in scientific manner. Each of the sampling / monitoring activity should be photographed and

need to be submitted to PIU. DSC and PIU must ask laboratory/contractor for their

accreditation certificate with annexure showing they are authorized to monitor given

parameters in EMP.

Use of Water for Construction: DSC/Contractor should ensure that the adequate written

consent is obtained from ground water board/local authority/panchayat head, for use of

ground water / surface water or water from community sources for construction activities.


Samaj Vikas 62

PUC of Vehicles: DSC should ensure that the contractor has submitted valid PUC certificates

of the vehicles engaged in construction work.

The Supervision Consultant should maintain a record of vehicles engaged in construction work

and their registration numbers, insurance as well as PUC certificate.

Authorized Quarry - DSC should ensure that the aggregates/sand (inputs) is procured

from approved quarry and proper certification / authorization documents should be

collected and records are maintained.

Capacity Building: PMU may take up a capacity building initiative for the PIUs to ensure

that the mandatory documents and reports (ARAP) are prepared in proper formats. A

sample set of documents (insurance, PUC, monitoring report, labour license etc.) and

necessary approval (copy of clearances) should be provided to PIU for better understanding.

Grievance Redressal: Contractors / Supervision Consultants of none of the sub-projects

have maintained a record of grievances received or redressed.

All the contractors and supervision contractors must be advised to maintain a proper record of

grievance received along with the date, contact details of the person raising concern,

responsible person to whom the grievance is assigned, suggested actions, action taken, closure

date etc.

Training of Workers: Contractors and DSC should ensure that proper training to workers

is provided on use and importance of PPE and health and safety issues. The same must be

recorded and the training report submitted along with the photographs of sessions. It

should also be repeated periodically as some of the worker may be shifted / relocated and

replaced after some time of

project execution.

Safety Issues: Contractor /

Supervision Consultants should

ensure that safety sign board and

caution tapes are properly

installed wherever the

construction activity is taking

place.

Contractors/Supervision consultants (DSC) should ensure that safety signage, informatory

boards and noise barriers are installed near schools, hospitals near the construction site.

Site Clearance: Site clearance is one aspect which is rather ignored by some contractors,

particularly on Salor – Dungra MR (UID – 1217), Chamoli, Sahiya – Patan MR (UID – 1577),

School on Acholi – Jakh Road, Pithoragarh

There is a school on the valley side just below the road

on Acholi – Jakh MR (UID – 2370), Pithoragarh.

Construction activities on the road may result in undue

noise, dust and risk of debris falling inside the school

compound. The Contractor / Supervision Consultants

shall take due care that the construction activities on

the road does not pose any health or safety risk to the

children in school.


Samaj Vikas 63

Dehradun, Padampuri – Herakhan – Kathgodam MR (UID – 2004), Nainital and Kempty

Byepass MR (UID – 2746), Tehri.

Contractors of all sub-projects should ensure that the debris generated during construction

activities is cleared from the site and stored at demarcated location, so that it does not pose

any risk to the workers as well as the road users and also care should be taken that the debris

does not damage existing public utility structures.

Some Other Suggestions:

Input of Environmental and Social Staff of DSC: In order to ensure that all the

provisions laid down in ESMF are complied with, the Environmental and Social Experts

of DSC, should visit the sub-project sites minimum once in a month.

Appreciation: On the basis of their performance in complying with the provisions and

environmental and social safeguard measures as detailed in ESMF, the contractors, may

be awarded a letter of Appreciation or a trophy, during a workshop or at any other

project related event, as a token of appreciation.

This will motivate the contractors to strive for excellence and therefore they will make

sincere efforts to take up the environmental and social aspects.

Penalty Clause: Regular non-compliance, of provisions under ESMF, by the contractor,

must lead to penalty.

Neither General Conditions of Contract (GCC) nor Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) of

the Bidding Document have penalty clause / provisions of penalty.

PMU shall prepare the terms and conditions on the basis of which, the penalty clause can

be introduced and a reasonable penal amount, as per the laid down provisions, may be

deducted from the payments to the contractor in case of any non-compliance by the

contractor.
