    Executing Agency at the time of finalization of bid document/ at the time of execution

    and during O & M period. O & M of the project assets, post-commissioning for 15 years

    has been included in the project scope. O & M beyond project scope i.e. after 15 years

    shall be the responsibility of State Government/ ULB at its own cost. SPMG confirmed

    that after implementing this project, no untreated drains will fall in the river

    Damodar from the town.

    It was also decided that state government will pari-pasu implement the project for

    utilization of treated wastewater from the project for irrigation, industrial purpose as

    per its policy.

    EC decided that installation of trash arresting rack and its regular O&M at the mouth

    of all drains and adequate provision for co-treatment of septage in the STP facility

    may also be made part of project proposal for implementation.

    In addition, it was also directed by EC that the latest effluent standard as per the NGT

    order shall be followed.

    The project has been considered to be funded under Component B – New Initiatives of

    Namami Gange Program. The State Government should ensure the availability of land,

    wherever needed, in their possession before awarding the works. State need to submit

    a revised DPR, before bidding, based on Third Party Agency’s recommendations

    complete with detailed designs and hydraulic analysis.

    The project involves implementation of I&D and STP works of significantly small

    capacity (15 MLD) and clubbing of this work may be difficult with other towns due to

    fact that some big towns with new sewerage infrastructure works to be undertaken

    are not located nearby. Accordingly, EC decided that the project will be executed

    following DBOT mode instead of Hybrid annuity based PPP mode.EC also directed to

    SPMG that the tender works may be awarded within three months from the date of

    issue of AA&ES.

    Agenda Item No. 30.2- Expansion of Project “Involvement of Youth in

    A presentation was given by Ms. Manisha Saini, Assistant Director, NYKS before the

    Executive Committee on the achievements of the ongoing project in 29 districts and on

    the proposal for expansion of similar work in 26 more districts across Uttarakhand,

    Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

    The Executive Committee pointed out that out of the total NMCG sanction of Rs. 9.90 Crore

    for the first phase of 29 districts; Rs. 4 Cr has been released by NMCG. Furthermore, the EC

    highlighted that NYKS has submitted a utilization certificate of only Rs. 65 Lakh and the

    remaining funds remain unutilized. The EC asked NYKS to share the execution plan for the

    remaining sanctioned amount to facilitate further release of funds. NYKS informed the EC that it

    will submit the UC for Rs. 1.1 cr. shortly. Moreover, the delay in the implementation of the

    project is due to pandemic outbreak, hence, the funds could not be utilized in sync with

    the timelines at regional level for training programs.

    DECISION

    The EC took note that senior officials are not present during the meeting. It also

    observed that the extension to another 26 districts is on lines similar to that of

    existing 29 districts and hence agreed to accord administrative approval and

    expenditure sanction. However, it was directed that NYKS should submit action

    plan for expeditious utilisation of funds already released. A detailed review would

    be scheduled after one week.

    Agenda Item No. 30.3- Revised Administrative Approval & Expenditure

    Rs.134.58 Crore). The project is 100% funded under EAP scheme from World Bank. It

    was also decided to send the TPA report to World Bank for their consideration. In the

    event of the bid project cost for Bhagalpur STP project becoming higher than the revised

    sanction separate approval will be sought as per guidelines.

    In response to the tender invited for the subject project, two bidders namely (i) Triveni

    Engineering & Industries Ltd. and (ii) Consortium of Adani Enterprises Ltd. and Organica

    Technológiák Zrt. have participated. The Consortium of Adani Enterprises Ltd. and

    Completion Time: 24 Months

    Financial Effect: Central Share as 100% of project cost i.e. Rs. 78.42 crore

    Project Status: Bidding Process- Design Build Operate Transfer (DBOT) basis

    The proposal of I&D and STP works of Kairana Town, Dist., Shamli, Uttar Pradesh was

    placed before Executive Committee (EC) for according the approval for an estimated cost

    of Rs. 78.42 crore. Drain from Kairana town outfalls into Mamour Lake and due to

    continuous discharge of sewage from this drain, the lake overflows and submerges the

    nearby agriculture fields. Beside submergence of agriculture fields by sewage, the water

    quality of lake is also severely deteriorated. The lake is an ox-bow lake of river Yamuna

    and one of the largest ox-bow lake in Yamuna river bed and requires pollution abatement

    works on priority.

    DECISION

    After detailed discussion Executive Committee (EC) resolved to approve the proposal

    for according Administrative Approval and Expenditure Sanction (AA&ES) for

    Interception & Diversion (I&D) and STP works of Kairana Town, Dist., Shamli, Uttar

    Pradesh with O&M for 15 years under Namami Gange Program for an estimated

    amount of Rs78.42 Crores (including cost of O & M for 15 years –Rs 38.51 Crores).

    It was also resolved that the observations of NMCG, TPA should be complied by the

    State Government/ Executing Agency at the time of finalization of bid document/ at

    the time of execution and during O&M. The cost towards O&M of the project assets,

    post commissioning for 15 years has been included in the project scope. O&M beyond

    project scope i.e. after 15 years shall be the responsibility of State Government/ ULB

    at its own cost. It is also proposed that as the Central Government is giving funding

    for O&M of the sewerage assets for 15 years, the tax should be collected regularly as

    usual by ULB and kept in a corpus fund, which should be used by ULB for O&M of all

    these assets after 15 years exclusively. The project has been considered to be funded

    under NGP Component – New Initiatives of Namami Gange Program. The State

    Government should ensure the availability of land in their possession before

    awarding the works. State has to initiate the land procurement procedure for MPS &

    STP and same has to be completed at the earliest. State need to submit a revised DPR,

    before bidding, incorporating Third Party Agency’s recommendations. EC also

    instructed to SPMG, UP that the tender works may be awarded within six months

    from the date of issue of AA&ES. EC also recommended the project duration of 24

    months excluding the bidding period.

    In addition, EC decided that installation of trash arresting rack and its regular O&M

    at the mouth of all drains and adequate provision for handling septage in the SPS /

    STP facility may also be made part of project proposal for implementation. EC desired

  • Minutes of the 30th Executive Committee (EC) meeting of NMCG held on 29.10.2020

    Page 10 of 12

    that State Government should explore the possibility of reuse of treated wastewater.

    Additional pumps if required may be included in TEPS to avoid the spread of water

    beyond the lakes boundary.

    Further, EC decided that works for Rejuvenation of Mamour Lake by carrying works

    for proper demarcation of lake, Strengthening / raising of bunds,dredging / desilting

    of Lake and plantation on boundary of Mamour Lakemay also be executed pari-passu

    as a part of project proposal through District / Local Administration using State’s

    own resources / MGNREGA funding etc as discussed with district authorities during

    site visit.

    Agenda Item No. 30.9 (Table Agenda)- In-Situ Treatment of untapped drains

    identified in the 09 stretches of Uttarakhand by Bio- remediation technologies at

    an estimated cost of Rs. 3.89 Cr. under Namami Gange Programme.

    Kumbh 2021 will be held at Haridwar Uttarakhand and it is proposed that none of

    the drain carrying sewage should discharge the sewage in Uttarakhand state in rivers

    before treatment. NMCG has made pollution abatement interventions for all the drains on

    main river Ganga by creating I&D structures and STPs but tributaries drains are yet to be

    tapped. In Uttarakhand, 24 small drains on 09 tributaries rivers (River Kichha, Dhela,

    Bhela, Kosi, Pilakhar, Nandhor,Rispana, Bindal and Suswa) are yet to be tapped

    permanently for pollution abatement works and thus bioremediation of the same was

    proposed. Out 24 drains, 19 drains are in 06 tributaries of Kumaon region (Udham Singh

    Nagar) which are discharging about 30 MLD sewage in Ramganga basin and 5 drains are

    in 03 tributaries of Garhwal region (Dehradun) in Rispana, Bindal and Suswa river. The

    pollution abatement project for creation of I&D in Rispana and Bindal rivers has just

    started and will take about a year to complete. Till then, considering upcoming Kumbh

    Mela 2021, bioremediation of all these drains have been proposed for a limited period of

    06 months. The objective of the project is to reduce the pollution level in these tributaries

    rivers by bioremediation. This will ensure that all the drains having sewage pollution in

    Uttarakhand state will have pollution abatement interventions. The targets are to reduce

    BOD by 70%-80%, bring TSS and BOD to regulatory norms in these identified drains in 09

    polluted stretches during Kumbh period. The payment will be linked to performance of

    the bioremediation process and to achieve pre-defined removal targets.

    DECISION

    After detailed discussions, EC suggested that though bioremediation is an interim

    mechanism for controlling pollution in the drains and rivers, such works are

    required to be taken for the drains/ rivers in Uttarakhand considering upcoming

    Kumbh Mela. EC recommended that this project may be made a part of

    comprehensive Kumbh project wherein a proposal for providing financial assistance

  • Minutes of the 30th Executive Committee (EC) meeting of NMCG held on 29.10.2020

    Page 11 of 12

    carried out periodically by the project proponent.

    Monitoring of flows in the drain at designated monitoring location by installation of

    suitable flow measuring device viz. V-notch or scientific flow measurement methods

    (excluding float method) etc. in consultation with the designated authorities.

    Public awareness programme will also be planned to carry out to educate the local

    residents to avoid throwing the garbage in to the drain.

    After detailed discussions, EC approved the proposal for according AA & ES for

    “Treatment of Kosi Drain, Vrindavan” using bioremediation under the head of

    “Research Studies, Pilot and Training, Workshop, Seminar, Publication etc. as a

    part of overall Research & Development Component” for an estimated amount

    of 1.39 Cr (One crore, thirty Nine Lakhs) at a treatment cost of Rs.1925/MLD.

    The project has been considered to be funded under National Ganga Plan (NGP).

    Above approval is subjected to following conditions-

    1. A Technical Monitoring Committee may be constituted for monitoring of the project.

    Page 12 of 12

    2. Monitoring of the project shall be carried out as per the monitoring protocols, which

    shall be devised on the basis of field measurements after establishing the base line

    profile in respect of flows in drain, drain water quality and other issues.

    3. The agency will also monitor flow in the drain by installing a flow measuring device

    like V notch/ flumes or scientific flow measurement methods (excluding float method)

    etc.

    Agenda Item No. 30.11(Table Agenda)-: Treatment of Palam Drain, Delhi using in-

    Situ Bioremediation Technology.

    It was learnt in the meeting that Palam Drain has been partially tapped and the flow is

    diverted for treatment at pappankalan STP. Sanctioning the proposal would be a case of

    double treatment. Hence, after detailed discussions, EC decided that any other drain

    may be selected by the agency in consultation with NMCG for putting up the pilot

    proposal.

    Agenda Item No. 30.12(Table Agenda)-: Project: Proposal for pilot demonstration by

    start-up "NEER Treatment Solutions Pvt. Ltd." for removal of solid waste from ITO

    drain, Delhi

    The proposal was taken up for discussion in EC meeting as table agenda with consent of DG. It

    was discussed that the pilot project proposal is submitted by NEER Treatment Solutions Pvt.

    Ltd. for removal of solid waste from ITO drain, Delhi (near WHO headquarters). The start-up

    company proposed putting up a solid waste collection mechanical set-up in the drain. It would

    have minimum human intervention. The Capital Costs of the project is Rs.17,12,290

    (Seventeen Lakh Twelve thousand two hundred and ninety only) and Operation Cost is

    Monthly Rs. 82,180/- (Annual Rs. 9,86,160).

    ED (F) observed that the solid waste management is mandate of Ministry of Housing and

    Urban Affairs. The proponent unit however replied to the observations that the project is

    important for NMCG as well since the solid waste from drains ultimately reaches the rivers and

    solid waste in rivers out falling into Ganga and its tributaries had been cause of concern for

    NMCG also.

    After detailed discussion, the EC decided that proper disposal of solid waste collected

    from the drain should also be ensured. It is necessary to bring the concerned

    Municipality on board for better coordination and efficient solid waste disposal. The EC

    in principle approved the proposal subject to the condition that concerned MCD has to

    agree to own-up the project during implementation. EC directed that proposal may be

    resubmitted before EC after taking actions, as above.

    The meeting ended with thanks to the chair.
