EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

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

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

This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the 5th and 6' line constructionbetween Kurla and Thane stations on Central Railway (CR). This project is beingimplemented by the CR.

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

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDYThe Objectives of Environmental Audit are as follows:0 Verify the implementation of EMP delineated in the IES (Initial Environmental Screening)

report prepared by MMRDA/MRVC.O Assess the status of environmental impacts during ongoing construction and operation

0 Assess whether any environmental mitigation measures are required based on in goingcompleted works.

0 Document lessons that can be useful for future projects.0 Mitigate environmental impacts on the water quality, water flow due to construction of

bridges

3.0 PROJECT COMPONENTS

The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:* Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations* Construction of additional il)frastructure at various stations such as New Platforms,

Booking office, Foot over-bridges (FOB) modifications, Extension of level crossings, etc.

Environmental Audit of Kurla-Thane Serene Environmental Serviceseh and 6 th Rail Line Project

* Construction of major and minor bridges at various locations* Construction of miscellaneous structures such as drainage, boundary walls etc.

The broad project components and implementation status of the same are given below inTable 1.0. Only 5 to 10% of work is complete. Removal of encroachments is a major issue,which is delaying further construction work.

3.1 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, World Bank policies/directives and GOMdirectives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in Annex 1 B. This EMP's for the Kurla-

Thane project have been prepared within the framework of the Consolidated EnvironmentalAssessment (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirements applicable to the Kurla-Thane project are as follows:

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

World Bank Policieso Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)O Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30)O Cultural Property (OP 4.11):

4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS

The Initial Environmental Screening conducted by MMRDA in October 2000 has not indicatedany significant environmental impacts from the project apart from R&R issues. The projectsummary of impacts is presented in Table A.

4.1 Ambient Air Quality


Current AAQ Monitoring DataPrimary or secondary data is not available near the railway tracks on this stretch. Typically,high values of NOx and SPM are recorded near congested locations adjacent to railway

Environmental Audit of Kurla-Thane Serene Environmental Services5h and dh Rail Line Project

stations. This situation generally eases out at location between the station areas near therailway tracks.

Impacts During Construction PhaseMajor construction work is only 5 to 10% complete. Construction such as earthwork, majorbridges etc. were not in progress during the study period. Thus impacts on air quality due toconstruction activity cannot be assessed.

During Operation PhaseDuring the operation stage, there will be no impact on air quality, as electric trains will beoperated on the proposed track.

4.2 Noise Impacts

Baseline DataBaseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise done atresidential areas near railway tracks on the Borivali-Virar and Santacruz-Borivali stretchindicate levels exceeding the noise standards. Typical peak noise levels near the tracks dueto train movement have been recorded between 85 to 90 dB(A). These are much higher thatthe 55 and 45 dB(A) day and night time standards.

Impacts During Construction PhaseConstruction work.was not in progress during study period. However, assessment of noiselevels during construction activity at the BVQR project clearly suggested that constructionactivity would not significantly increase the noise tevels from the baseline levels. Theconstruction activity such as earth-working, and miscellaneous civil structures'does notinvolve operations such as DG sets, blasting, drilling etc. The same conditions will generally Iapply to this project.

Impacts During Operation PhaseExisting baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residentialarea. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are locatedquite close (30 to 100 m) to railway tracks. Boundary wall will be constructed along therailway land, however this is not expected to have much potential for noise attenuation, asresidential building are located very close to the tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing abarrier all along the track to this height may not be feasible. Source reduction techniques byproviding better track/wheel interface and track modification may be more appropriate fornoise reduction.

4.3 Ground and Surface Water Quality

During Construction Phase

Environmental Audit of Kurla-Thane Serene Environmental Service85eh and dh Rail Line Project

There are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers, creek etc.) present in the Kurla-Thane rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense Built-up area. Thus there would nothave been any adverse environmental impact on water bodies.

The shifting of drain by 6m between Vidyavihar and Ghatkopar station will not have anyadverse environmental impacts. Permissions from MCGM have already been obtained. -

During Operation PhaseThe operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due tothe following reasons:

* Wastewater generated at new platform at Thane will be discharged into existingsewerage network.

. Drains will be constructed near the tracks to avoid flooded during monsoons.There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affectany water body.

4.4 Natural Habitats and Ecology

Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by this project isrequired by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no natural habitats alongthis route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection. Some trees in the ROW willhave to be felled. 308 trees will have to be felled and 225 trees will have to be transplanted.

lmpacts During Construction PhaseLoss of vegetation along the ROW is to be expected andlcannot be avoided. Permission forfelling of these trees has been obtained from MCGM. The pefmission requires CR to plant916 trees CR will carry out this plantation for enhancement of the area. Plantation activity isproactive and plantation targets are normally set for various CR managers.

lmpacts During Operation PhaseImpacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming upalongside the existing tracks and there is no forest and other sensitive ecological reservesnear the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.

4.5 Landuse

This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodiesetc. There are mixed use and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridorboundary.

Impacts

Environmental Audit of Kurta-Thane Serene Environmental Services5h and dh Rail Line Project

The land-use pattern will not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as itwill come up alongside the existing tracks.

There are about 2131 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement.Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of the PAH is being done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific CommunityEnvironment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA fortransit and permanent locations.

4.8 Resettlement and RehabilitationThere are about 2131 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement.Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of the PAH is being done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific CommunityEnvironment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA fortransit and permanent locations.

4.9 Archaeological and Cultural PropertyRehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious(temples, mosques etc.) affected by project activities is required by The World BankOperational Policy 4.11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

There are four religious structures (Temples) that will be affected by the project.Rehabilitation work along with the local residents and NGO's are in progress. A summary ofthese structures and then proposed/executed rehabilitation measures is given in Annex 6.

A summary of the impacts during construction and operation phases of the project isgiven in Table A

Thus impacts on noise levels due to construction exceed the CPCB noise standards for residential area. Thisactivity cannot be assessed. is typically found near the railway tracks where residential

areas are located quite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks.

Boundary walls of 2m height will be constructed along therailway land near the tracks, however this is not expected tohave much potential for noise attenuation, as residentialbuilding are located very close to the tracks and are 3 to 4storey high. Providing a barrier all along the track to thisheight may not be feasible. Source reduction techniques byproviding better track/wheel interface and track modificationmay be more appropriate for noise reduction.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures

The assessment included the following:

* Audit of the project site and activities to deternine the extent of compliance withEnvironment, Health and Safety (EHS) mitigation measures defined in '(IES) InitialEnvironmental Screening Report prepared by MMRDA.

* Determining adequacy of earlier EMP and proposing additional Measures.

The construction work for the project is only about 5 to 10% complete. Construction activitysuch as earth-working etc. was not in progress and thus EHS measures cannot beaudited/assessed for the construction phase. Most tenders for various construction workshave been finalised. The earlier IES report and the current site visits have not revealed anysignificant adverse environmental impact caused due the already completed activity.

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

. EHS mitigation measures that could be induded as a requirement for contractors forremaining construction works.

* EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage.* Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation

5.1 Site Findings And Compliance For EHS Mitigation Measures

The construction works carried out and the rail operation in this project is similar to the onebeing carried out for the Borivali-Virar Quadrupling of Rail project. Thus the EMP measureswould be similar and are presented in Table 4.1 to 4.3 for the design, construction andoperation stages. The mitigation measures in these tables have been modified in light of thefindings of the audit done on the BVQR project sites.

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

* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves.* Resettlement and rehabilitation* Utility relocation* Generation of Dust due to construction activity. Construction Vehicle /equipment exhaust emissions* Noise from vehicles, plants and equipment* Contamination of water bodies* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroveso Soil erosiono Debris disposal

* Soil contamination by construction wastes, fuel etc.* Land degradation in quarry area.* Health and hygiene at construction labour camps• Delays and congestion on tracks* Traffic Control and Safety* Occupational Health and Safety

Critical EHS recommendations for the project are given below, more details on audit findings andrecommendations are available in Tables 4.1 to 4.3 of this report.

Pre-construction and design stage:

1. Permissions for Shifting of drain (Nallah) and MCGM water pipeline has been obtained.2. Resettlement is currently being carried out by MMRDA as per RAP of GOM. Separate

Transit and permanent accommodations for project affected households should be audited atleast 6 monthly.

3. Permissions for felling of trees obtained from local authority (MCGM).

Construction Phase

1. Road wetting for earth-working operations for minimising dust emissions.2. All contractors to make sure that all dumpers and other vehicles being used at site have been

checked for vehicle emissions and have a valid PUC certificate.3. A documented procedure to be made by all contractors clearly prohibiting discharge/dumping

of waste material into any water body.4. A clear documented procedure to be made part of the tender documents, requiring

contractors to dispose debris in low-lying areas away from water bodies, as fill material only.5. Documentation such as quarry release receipt issued by the District Fevenue officer at the

quarry site to be available at construction site.6. Safety and hazard posters and signs should be clearly displayed at locations such as plafform

works, level crossings, Station building construction areas etc.7. An engineering work permit is made by Western Railway for each site, after inspection of

safety conditions as per tender requirements. C.R. to assure that a similar procedure for workpermit is followed at all construction sites

8. First aid boxes to be made available at site.9. Ambient Air and Noise monitoring as per Table 6 and procedure in Section 6.1

Operation Phase1. A detailed survey to be done in the railway corridor to determine areas where additional track-

side and other plantation (In additional to compensatory plantation) could be done and aplantation plan to be prepared.. Plan should be prepared by CR and forwarded to MMRDAfor approval one month before completion of construction activities.

2. Regular maintenance of plantation.and reporting as per EMP3. Noise monitoring as per Table 7 and procedures in Section 6.1.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

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

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

* CR has incorporated certain EHS elements in the tender documents.* Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart

from periodic general inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHSelements of the project.

Major significant impacts would be the displacement of project affected people and cutting ofvegetation along the ROW. The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separatelyas a part of another study and permnissions have been taken earlier for cutting of vegetation.

Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and_ a regular.environmental monitoring program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring describedabove for this project.

The recommended EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism, inspection schedule - format -responsibilities, current institutional mechanism, training requirements etc. are given in detailin Section 6.1 of this report.

2.0 PROJECT DETAILS

2.1 Project Need and Details

As a part of MUTP, railway has proposed to undertake a project on the provision of 5th and 6'hlines between Kurla and Thane. The scope of the project includes laying of additional tworailway lines between Kurla and Thane for a length about 16 Km. The proposed project willenhance the capacity of existing suburban and non suburban traffic between Kurla andThane. The benefits of this project are:

* Segregation of suburban and non-suburban traffic between Kurla and Thane, thusproviding capacity on long distance lines to allow more trains to a new passenger terminalat Kurla.

* To bridge the shortfall in capacity of 15000 passengers per hour on this section inassociation with optimization on Central Railway and conversion of 9-car rakes to 12-caron local lines.

The proposed 5 th and 6'h lines will run parallel to existing tracks on the eastern side. FigureI shows the route of the proposed line. Photo I in Annex 2 shows the existing lines atGhatkopar station. The eastern section where the new lines will be constructed can also beseen in the photograph. It will take off from a suitable point between Kurla and Vidyaviharstation, which is an extension of Kurla Yard only. Thereafter, the new lines will pass throughthe stations of Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Kanjur Marg, Bhandup and Mulund . Thereafter, the newlines will join existing up and main lines at a suitable point at Thane at Kalyan end of newPlafform to be constructed at Thane for 5 th and 6th line.

Bridges:The project includes the construction of about 5 major bridges and 41 minor bridges betweenKurla and Thane.

Stations:All together, there are 8 stations between Kurla and Thane.

2.2 Project Components and Status

The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:* Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations* Construction of additional infrastructure at various stations such as New Plafforms,

Booking office, Foot over-bridges (FOB) modifications, Extension of level crossings, etc.• Construction of major and minor bridges at various locations* Construction of miscellaneous structures such as drainage, boundary walls etc.

The broad project components and implementation status of the same are given below inTable 1.0. Only 5 to 10% of work is complete. Removal of encroachments is a majorissue, which is delaying further construction work.

4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS

The Initial Environmental Screening conducted by MMRDA in October 2000 has not indicatedany significant environmental impacts from the project apart from R&R issues. Key findingsof the report are given in Annex 4. The project summary of impacts is presented in Table3.

4.1 Terrain and Geology

Kurla-Thane tracks run over almost a level terrain in the area. The area through out is built-up. Some open areas are observed between Kanjur Marg and Mulund on the eastern side.Geology is typical of the westem coast i.e. Basalt rocks overlain by alluvial soils / days.

4.2 Climate

The climate of the area is characterized by high humidity nearly all year round, oppressivesummer season and well-distributed and heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoonseason. This suburban district receives heavy rainfall during the monsoon season betweenJune and August.


Current AAQ Monitoring DataPrimary or secondary data is not available near the railway tracks on this stretch. Typically,high values of NOx and SPM are recorded near congested locations adjacent to railwaystations. This situation generally eases out at location between the station areas near therailway tracks.

Impact Assessment

During Construction PhaseMajor construction work is only 5 to 10% complete. Construction such as earthwork, majorbridges etc. were not in progress during the study period. Thus impacts on air quality due toconstruction activity cannot be assessed.

During Operation PhaseDuring the operation stage, there will be no impact on air quality, as electric trains will beoperated on the proposed track.

4.4 Noise Levels

Baseline DataBaseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise done atresidential areas near railway tracks on the Borivali-Virar and Santacruz-Borivali stretchindicate levels exceeding the noise standards. Typical peak noise levels near the tracks due

Environmental Audit of Kurla-Thane Serene Environmental Services5 h and 6h Rail Line Project

to train movement have been recorded between 85 to 90 dB(A). These are much higher thatthe 55 and 45 dB(A) day and night time standards.

Impact Assessment

Durina Construction PhaseConstruction work was not in progress during study period. However, assessment of noiselevels during construction activity at the BVQR project clearly suggested that constructionactivity would not significantly increase the noise levels from the baseline levels. Theconstruction activity such as earth-working, and miscellaneous civil structures does notinvolve operations such as DG sets, blasting, drilling etc. The same conditions will generally Iapply to this project.

During Operation PhaseExisting baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residentialarea. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are locatedquite close (30 to 100 m) to railway tracks. Boundary wall will be constructed along therailway land, however this is not expected to have much potential for noise attenuation, asresidential building are located very close to the tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing abarrier all along the track to this height may not be feasible. Source reduction techniques byproviding better track/wheel interface and track modification may be more appropriate fornoise reduction.

4.5 Ground and Surface Water Quality

ImPact Assessment

During Construction PhaseThere are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers, creek etc.) present in the Kurla-Thane rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense Built-up area. Thus there would nothave been any adverse environmental impact on water bodies.

The shifting of drain by 6m between Vidyavihar and Ghatkopar station (See Photo 2 inAnnex 2) will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts. Permissions fromMCGM have already been obtained.

During Operation Phase

The operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due tothe following reasons:

Wastewater generated at new platform at Thane will be discharged into existingsewerage network.

* Drains will be constructed near the tracks to avoid flooded during monsoons.There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect anywater body.

4.6 Natural Habitats and Ecology

lmDact Assessment

Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the Kurla-Thaneproject is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no naturalhabitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection. Some trees inthe ROW will have to be felled, the details of which are given below:

During Construction PhaseLoss of vegetation along the ROW is to be expected and cannot be avoided. Permission forfelling of these trees has been obtained from MCGM. Table 3 below gives the number oftrees to be cut in this route. CR will carry out trackside and other plantation for enhancementof the area as required by the permissions. Plantation activity is proactive and plantationtargets are normally set for various CR managers.

4.7 Land Use

This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodiesetc. There are mixed use and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridorboundary.

Impacts

The land-use pattem will not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as itwill come up alongside the existing tracks.

4.8 Resettlement and RehabilitationThere are about 2131 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement.Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of the PAH is being done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific CommunityEnvironment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA fortransit and permanent locations.

4.9 Archaeological and Cultural PropertyRehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious(temples, mosques etc.) affected by project activities is required by The World BankOperational Policy 4.11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

There are four religious structures (Temples) that will be affected by the project.Rehabilitation work along with the local residents and NGO's are in progress. A summary ofthese structures and then proposed/executed rehabilitation measures is given in Annex 6.

Table 4.0 presents summarized impacts during construction and operation phase of project.

5.1 Introduction

The previous sections described the changes observed in baseline environmental status andthe environmental impacts during construction and operation stages of the project. Thissection is dedicated to the following issues:* Audit of the project site and activities to determine the extent of compliance with

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) mitigation measures defined in 1(IES) InitialEnvironmental Screening Report prepared by MMRDA.


As discussed earlier, the construction work for the project is only about 5 to 10% complete.Construction activity such as earth-working etc. was not in progress and thus EHS measurescannot be audited/assessed for the construction phase. Most tenders for various constructionworks have been finalised. The earlier IES report and the current site visits have not revealedany significant adverse environmental impact caused due the already completed activity (SeeAnnex 4)

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

* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors forremaining construction works.


5.2 Site Findings and Compliance for EHS Mitigation Measures

The construction works carried out and the rail operation in this project is similar to the onebeing carried out for the Borivali-Virar Quadrupling of Rail project. Thus the EMP measureswould be similar and are presented in Table 5.1 to 5.3 for the design, construction andoperation stages. The mitigation measures in these tables have been modified in light of thefindings of the audit done on the BVQR project sites.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

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

* In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the ProjectImplementation Agency (PIA). However, Central Railway (CR) is the PIA for this project.MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and CR.

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

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program

The main objectives of a monitoring program are:

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

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

accuracy of environmental impact prediction.

The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study.The critical components that need monitoring during construction and operation stages of theproject include:

a. Ambient noise levels during construction stageb. Ambient noise levels during operating stagec. Ambient air quality during construction staged. EHS mitigation measures as given in Tables 5.1 to 5.3 during operation and construction

phases.e. Tracking of tree plantation and survival rates

Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regularenvironmental monitoring program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring describedabove for this project. This is covered in Section below.

6.1.1 EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Construction Phase

6.1.1.1 Ambient Air and Noise Monitoring

Ambient air and noise monitoring shall be done at locations with possibility of adverse impactsdue to construction activity. The construction is being done in phases and hence care shouldbe taken that monitoring is carried out during the construction phase at the identified location.Monitoring shall be done by a pre-approved monitoring agerecy.

6.1.1.2 Monitoring of EHS mitigation measures implementation

In the context of Railway projects of MUTP, an effective inspection program will go a longway to assure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. Theinspection program needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by CR and theparameters for inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The existinginstitutional arrangement mentioned in Section 6.3 ahead will be adequate for themonitoring program. The EHS parameters to be monitored depend upon factors such as:

* EHS components affected

* Construction schedule of the project

* Environmental Mitigation measures suggested

Currently there is no inspection schedule for environmental issues at the construction site.The following program and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHSimplementation for this project:

24

Environmental Audit of Kurla - Thane Serene Environmental Servicesdh and 6 h Rail Line Project

a. Monthly inspection pmrgram by CR for all project construction sites. Theinspection will be carded out by Executive Engineer (EE) In-charge of theconstruction site, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as perAnnex 8. The inspection will be caried out during the entire period ofconstruction activity Including before start of construction and Immediately afterconstruction is complete.

The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed EE to theChief Engineer (WR). Corrective action plan with time frame for Implementation forany non-compliance to be also submifted.

(Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works. However, a group ofsimilar activities could be Inspected using the same checklist. E.g.- Findings ofinspection of construction of station building, FOB, platform extension work at astation could be entered in the same checklist).

b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specified inAnnex 9.

c. Copy of the completed monthly inspection checklist along with the environmentalmonitoring report should be sent by the Chief Engineer (WR) to MRVC for onwardsubmission to MMRDA every month for review. The inspection checklist for amonth along with the corrective action plan, If any, shall reach MMRDA no laterthan the le day of the next month.

d. MMRDA to carry out Independent 3- party Inspection of varous construction sites(the sample sites Indicated In this report could be visited at a minimum) everyquarter during the construction activity and also after construction is completed toassess any residual environmental Impact, A Project Management Consultant(PMC) should be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Review checklist given InAnnex 8 could be used for this purpose.

6.1.2 EMP Monitorina and Reporting durina Operation Phase

Operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for the following:

* Ambient noise levels to determine baseline levels and track improvements accrued due toimplementation of source noise reduction. Ambient air montoring is not suggested sincethe operation will not contribute to air pollution (Electricity driven trains). Also no impactsduring operation stage expected on water quality and soil quality.

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

the project. This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this audit report.

The monitoring program suggested is given in Table 7 below:

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CARRYING OUT ENVORONMENTALASSESSMENTI AUDITING OF RAILWAY PROJECTS

ASSIGNMENT:

The purpose of this assignment is to assist Mumbai Metropolitan RegionDevelopment Authority (MMRDA) in carrying out an environmental audit ofvarious ongoing railways projects to determine how environmental issues, if any,can be addressed at this stage Of proiec' implementation.

2 BACKGROUND:

2.1 MMRDA had appointed Montgomery-VVatson Consultants (India) Pvt. Ltd. toundertake the preparation of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the MUTP.This EA process resulted in the preparation of Sectoral-Level EnvironmentalAssessment (SLEA), Programmatic Level Environmental Assessment (PLEA)and Micro-Level Environmental Assessment (MLEA). The SLEA was a strategicdocument, the PLEAs were prepared for small generic sub-projects like flyovers,ROBs and RUBs while MLEAs were prepared for larger sub-projects like road.widening and extensions. This study was undertaken between 1996 and 1998and resulted in several outputs including a synthesized final report.

2.2 Consequently, almost all of these railway projects except DC to AC conversionhave been started and are in ;.-;ry,ng stages of implementation. As theconstruction work of the project is a:ieady underway, consultants shiould assessthe current and residual requirements of environmental management practice.Environimlental studies, which have beer carried out for railway projects, are asu:lder:

a) Report of MLEA of Borivali-Virar Quadrupling prepared by Montgomery-Watson Consultants (India) Pvt. Ltd in 1998,

b) Report of Initial Environmental Examination for Thane- Kuria 5th and 6th linesprepared by MMRDA in 2000-01.

The Consultant should use the.,e reports as the basis to carry out the proposedenvironmental audit.

2.3 Some of the p,,rojects may a!s^ -!vej co'ts!ruction in areas, whic.h re classifiedas restricted areas under C::astal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Rules. Hence,permission needs to be ob-:ined under CRZ Rules from the Ministry ofEnvironinent and Forests, Gov:.rnrne:-.t of india for sucIh projects.

Task 2: Review Environmental Monitoring Data

ANNEX- lB

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

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

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

environment and the other related to resettlement.

Legislation related to Environment:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Legislation related to R & R.

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

compensabon atthe market rate with 30% solatum for the compulsory nature of acquisibonand interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notificaton of land for acquisition.

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

of Development Plans (Master Plans) for the local jurisdiction of individual municipalauthority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999 whereas theDevelopment Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 19,91. The Regional Plan is policyoriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specific and prescribesdetailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, whichcan then be acquired in conjunction with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The actalso provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of DevelopmentControl Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistent with the Regional Planand the Development Plan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cultural Property (OP 4.1 1):14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological

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

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

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

17. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are smallplaces of worship established by the community of squatters within the right ofway. These have been created by the affected communities for their own use.Such places of worship do not possess any historical or architectural significanceand may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property.Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs. Theplaces of worship and 6ther community assets are identified during the BSES.Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process inconsultation with the community. The impact on these properties and the manner inwhich such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categories. Firstly the

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

Natural Habitat (OP 4.04):

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

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

Involuntarv Resettlement (OD 4.30)

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

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

Indigenous People (OD 4.20)

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

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

Other Safeguard Policies

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

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS OF THEINITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING

STUDY (OCTOBER 2000)

ANNEX 4Mitigation Measures Recommended in the Initial Environment Screening

Report for Kurla- Thane Project

In order to determine the environmental issues along the ROW of proposed Kurla-Thanelines, a visit was jointly conducted by Joint Project Director (Environment), MMRDA andExecutive Engineers of MRVC on October 9th 2000. Based on the site visit and detailscollected from MRVC, the following environmental impacts and mitigation measuresthere-off were suggested. These are as reported in the IES report.

Impacts During Construction Phase

During the construction phase, the nallahs will have to be diverted by about 6 to 7 m.The BMC's water supply pipeline will have to be elevated by construction of a smallbridge. About 100 trees will have to be transplanted as recommended by MCGM. Theresettlement of the project affected persons is being done as per the policy of GOM. Noarchaeological and historically important sites were observed along the proposed tracks.It was observed that the proposed lines neither pass through ant creeks, marshy lands,mangroves nor are they affected by Coastal Regulation Zone. It was observed that theproject will not affect any type of ecological environment.

Impact during Operation Phase

During operation phase, as already four tracks exit, there will be negligible additionalimpact on air and noise environment due to the proposed 5h and 6h lines. There willhowever be various positive impacts in form of reducing passenger load on existingtrains, increase in passenger comfort, Improved aesthetic conditions and standards of.living due to resettlement of project affected persons (mainly slum dwellers)

Mitigation Measures During Constrpction Phase

The impact on ambient air and noise quality will be mitigated by adopting the followingmeasures:

1. Construction requiring road closings shall be carried out during off peak hoursespecially in case of level crossings

2. Dust covers would be provided over trucks, which would be used for transportation ofcement of cement and other material prone to fugitive emissions. Areas such asexcavation sites and construction roads shall be frequently watered to suppress dust

3. Construction contract specifications shall provide for use of equipment generatingnoise less that 90 dB(A).

4. Installation of mufflers on relevant equipment5. High noise generating activity to be done only during day time.

Mitigation Measures During.Operation Phase

1. All the major and minor bridges in the section should be extended on RCC base andRCC slabs.

2. The protection wall/side shall be constructed at a suitable distance from the 6e line inorder to prevent any encroachment in the future.

ConclusionsThe environmental screening carried out indicates that it does not involve any criticalenvironmental issues in the form of its impact on air, noise, land and ecology whichneeds to be tackled during the construction and operation phases except its impact onthe socio-economic environment. The -RAP and CEMP have been prepared and theresettlement of the project affected persons has been already carried out for most of thepart and the resettlement of PAPs for the remaining part is in progress as per the GOMpolicy.

In view of the above, it may not be necessary to carry out a detailed environmentalassessment for the proposed project.
