1 Environmental Impact Assessment (Updated) September 2017 IND: Bihar New Ganga Bridge Project (Annexes) Prepared by Bihar State Road Development Corporation Limited, Government of Bihar for the Asian Development Bank.

2 Annex ANNEX 1: RAPID ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (REA) CHECKLIST Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist Country/Project Title: India/ Bihar Ganga Bridge Project Sector Division: SARD -SATC Screening Questions Yes No Remarks A. Project Siting Is the project area adjacent to or within any of the following environmentally sensitive areas? Cultural heritage site X It has been observed that no archaeological site or monument and cultural heritage site exists close to highway. Protected Area X Wetland X Mangrove X Estuarine X At the middle of the project is the Raghopur Diara formed by the Ganga River. Buffer zone of protected area X Special area for protecting biodiversity X B. Potential Environmental Impacts Will the Project cause encroachment on historical/cultural areas; X disfiguration of landscape by road embankments, cuts, fills, and quarries? encroachment on precious ecology (e.g. sensitive or protected areas)? X The entire Ganga River is a known habitat of the endangered Gangetic Dolphin (Platanista gangetica ssp. Gangetic) alteration of surface water hydrology of waterways crossed by roads, resulting in increased sediment in streams affected by increased soil erosion at construction site? deterioration of surface water quality due to silt runoff and sanitary wastes from worker-based camps and chemicals used in construction? increased local air pollution due to rock crushing, cutting and filling works, and chemicals from asphalt processing? risks and vulnerabilities related to occupational health and safety due to physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards during project construction and operation during project construction and operation? noise and vibration due to blasting and other civil works? X X X X X About 709 trees will be cleared (Annex 4) There is potential risk to increase siltation and change in flow at the bridge foundations along the two streams of the Ganga River and discharge points of drainage canals leading to the Ganga River. All wastewater from the construction camps should be treated to meet surface water quality standards prior to disposal. Short-term increase in dust from rock crusher, materials handling and storage, and cement plants. The scale of the work required will expose a large number of workers to hazardous working conditions in terms of noise, dust, and working on elevated and confined spaces, handling hot works, and co-location of heavy equipment with work areas. No blasting is required but pile driving will create substantial noise and vibration. At the plant site the sources of noise will be: stone crushing, asphalt production plant and batching plants, diesel generators. At the work zones, community residing near to the work zones from temporary construction activities. dislocation or involuntary resettlement of people? X As per the Land Acquisition Plan (LAP) dislocation and compulsory resettlement of people living in right-of-way? X prepared for the project, hectares of land will be required for the project.

3 233 Annex 1 Screening Questions Yes No Remarks disproportionate impacts on the poor, women and children, Indigenous Peoples or other vulnerable groups? X None expected. other social concerns relating to inconveniences X in living conditions in the project areas that may trigger cases of upper respiratory problems and stress? implemented. hazardous driving conditions where construction interferes with pre-existing roads? poor sanitation and solid waste disposal in construction camps and work sites, and possible transmission of communicable diseases (such as STI's and HIV/AIDS) from workers to local populations? creation of temporary breeding habitats for diseases such as those transmitted by mosquitoes and rodents? accident risks associated with increased vehicular traffic, leading to accidental spills of toxic materials? increased noise and air pollution resulting from traffic volume? increased risk of water pollution from oil, grease and fuel spills, and other materials from vehicles using the road? social conflicts if workers from other regions or countries are hired? large population influx during project construction and operation that causes increased burden on social infrastructure and services (such as water supply and sanitation systems)? risks to community health and safety due to the transport, storage, and use and/or disposal of materials such as explosives, fuel and other chemicals during construction and operation? community safety risks due to both accidental and natural causes, especially where the structural elements or components of the project are accessible to members of the affected community or where their failure could result in injury to the community throughout project construction, operation and decommissioning. X X X X The alluvial soil is prone to re-suspension from unpaved road travel and wind erosion. Adequate dust suppression must be The bridge approaches links to existing roads of NH-30 (diverted) near Didargunj, Patna- Mokana Road ROB, and along NH-103 towards Hazipur and Mehnar. Several construction camps will house skilled workers increasing the risk of communicable disease transmission. The civil works contract will compel the contractors to link with state health programs to control diseases. The nearness of the construction area to a major river and the need for substantial borrow area increase the risk of producing habitats for mosquitoes. In compliance to FIDIC provision, the contractors will be required to provide sanitary and hygienic camps including pest control as approved by local health offices. As diverted traffic from the existing MG Bridge will use the new bridge, the risk of accident and spills will also increase. The project operators capacity to respond to contingent events must be enhanced. X During construction temple at Chainage is adjacent to road edge. Noise advisories, speed brakes, and noise barriers will be required. During operation stage, permanent noise barriers may be required to be constructed. X X X X X Discounting major accidents, oil and heavy metals discharges from road users are minimal and in trace amounts. Sourcing of labourers within the city and state will be prioritized to reduce the number of migrant workers and the size of construction camp. Not expected as only skilled workers will be brought by the contractor and majority of the labourers will be sourced from the City. Other than fuel and lubricants, there are hazardous materials that are needed in the construction of the bridge. Accidental spots can be reduced by correcting the curves, improvement of junctions, and complying with design standards for the ROB.

4 Annex A Checklist for Preliminary Climate Risk Screening Country/Project Title: Sector : Subsector: Division/Department: Location and Design of project Materials and Maintenance Performance of project outputs creening Questions Score Remarks 1 Is siting and/or routing of the project (or its components) likely to be affected by climate conditions including extreme weather related events such as floods, droughts, storms, landslides? Would the project design (e.g. the clearance for bridges) need to consider any hydro-meteorological parameters level, (e.g., sea-peak river flow, reliable water level, peak wind speed etc.)? Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions(e.g. prevailing humidity level, temperature contrast between hot summer days and cold winter days, exposure to wind and humidity hydro-meteorological parameters likely affect the selection of project inputs over the life of project outputs (e.g. construction material)? Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions, and related extreme events likely affect the maintenance (scheduling and cost) of project output(s)? Would weather/climate conditions, and related extreme events likely affect the performance (e.g. annual power production) of project output(s) (e.g. hydro-power generation facilities) throughout their design life time? Options for answers and corresponding score are provided below: 2 The preferred alignment was based, among others, on channel stability. 2 The embankment and bridge heights were based on HFL and navigational requirements. 0 Predicted change in climate based on Climate Wizard would not affect construction materials selection. 1 Siltation of the two channels will increase maintenance cost for navigation. The diara has history of breaching. 0 Unlikely Response Not Likely 0 Likely 1 Very Likely 2 Score Responses when added that provide a score of 0 will be considered low risk project. If adding all responses will result to a score of 1-4 and that no score of 2 was given to any single response, the project will be assigned a medium risk category. A total score of 5 or more (which include providing a score of 1 in all responses) or a 2 in any single response, will be categorized as high risk project. Result of Initial Screening (Low, Medium, High): HIGH

5 235 Annex 1 Other Comments: Prepared by: 1 If possible, provide details on the sensitivity of project components to climate conditions, such as how climate parameters are considered in design standards for infrastructure components, how changes in key climate parameters and sea level might affect the siting/routing of project, the selection of construction material and/or scheduling, performances and/or the maintenance cost/scheduling of project outputs.

6 Annex ANNEX 2: COMPARISON OF WB AND GOI AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS A comparison between the ambient air quality requirements between the World Bank (WB) Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) guidelines and the National Ambient Air Quality standards (NAAQS) under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 of GOI as given in table below shows that the NAAQS has requirements on three more parameters (Pb, Co and NH 3) in comparison to the WB EHS. The NAAQS has differentiated standards for two types of areas: i) industrial, residential, rural and other areas and ii) ecologically sensitive areas. The WB EHS has guidelines values which are the required standards but allows for gradual compliance to the guideline values through staged interim targets. Most WB EHS guideline requirements are more stringent than NAAQS except for the NO 2 one-year average in ecologically sensitive areas where the NAAQS requirements are more stringent.

Green belt shall be developed as per the following guidelines. 1. Selection of Tree Species The Project involve movement of vehicle for transportation of material Thus emissions like particulate matter, SO2, NOx & CO shall be generated at site. Also there is potential of generation of coal dust while unloading the materials at stock piles. Thus the plantation species tolerant to these pollutants and mitigate these from air shall be planted. Species selecting criteria is given below: Tolerant to expected pollutants at site Longer duration of foliage Freely exposed foliage (adequate height of crown, openness of foliage, big leaves, small stomata apertures, stomata well exposed) Leaves supported on firm petioles 2. Recommended Plant species Based on nature of pollutants following tree species are recommended to be planted Table A8.1: Recommended plant species S. No. Plant Species Common Name Habit 1. Termanilia catappal Jagali Badam Tree 2. Anthocephalus cadamba Kadam Tree 3. Ficus bengalensis Badh Tree 4. Magnifera indica Aam Tree 5. Tectona grandis Teak Tree 6. Ficus religiosa Peepal Tree 7.

Plantation Methodology Components of green belts along the alignment should be both absorbers of gases as well as of dust particles, including even lead particulates. Thus the choice of plants should include pollution tolerant shrubs of height 1 to 1.5 m and trees of 3 to 5m. The intermixing of trees and shrubs should be such that the foliage area density in vertical is almost uniform. For effective removal of pollutants, it is necessary that (i) plants should grow under conditions of adequate nutrient supply, (ii) absence of water stress and (iii) plants are well exposed to atmospheric conditions (light & breeze). 4. Plantation Pattern A standard horticultural practice involving planting of saplings in pits of substantial dimensions i.e., 1m 1m 1m for big trees and along half of these dimensions for smaller trees and shrubs. The pits are then filled with earth, sand, silt and manure in pre-determined proportions. Saplings planted in such pits are watered liberally during dry months. 5. Time of Plantation Plantation of the tree sapling should be done only after the first shower during the rainy season. The best time for plantation is after 15 days from the day of first shower during rainy season. 6. Protection of Tree saplings Circular tree guard should be placed after the plantation of the saplings for the protection of these young plants from the ravages of cattle, sheep and goat and other animals. If tree saplings died or damage occur after placing the circular tree guard, timely replacements of damaged plant and thereafter care is important. 7. After Care & The growing plants are cared at least for the first two years under favorable conditions of climate and irrigation. Nutrients in pits are supplemented and the juveniles provided protection. Thinning shall start after the stand is 3-4 years old and repeated every 4 years until the stand is 15 years old. Between years old, thinning should be conducted every 5 years and after 25 years old, thinning shall be done after every 10 years. When the canopy closes, at about 6 years,

95 325 Annex % of the stems shall be thinned to selectively remove suppressed, diseased and badly formed trees. Periodic assessment shall be carried for survivability of the trees. Minimum 70% survival rate shall be achieved. 8. Records Keeping & Reporting The following records shall be maintained: (i) record of tree plantation; and (ii) record of survivability rate. Inspection shall be carried out at site to know the survival rate of the plantation. The tree plantation and survivability report shall be prepared every six monthly. 9. Responsibility Compensatory plantation shall be carried out by forest department. Survival rate of plantation shall be inspected of the by PMAE. Plantation within the alignment shall be carried out by contractor and shall be monitored by PMAE.

Borrow areas will not be located on cultivable lands. However, if it becomes necessary to borrow earth from temporarily acquired cultivated lands, their depth will not exceed 45 cm. The topsoil to a depth of 15cm will be stripped and set aside. Thereafter, soil may be dug out to a further depth not exceeding 30 cm and used in forming the embankment. A 15 cm topsoil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in a designated area for height not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2 (Vertical: Horizontal). Ridges of not less than 8m widths will be left at intervals not exceeding 300m. Small drains will be cut through the ridges, if necessary, to facilitate drainage. The slope of the edges will be maintained not steeper than 1:4 (vertical: Horizontal). Borrow pit will be selected from wasteland ; Priority will be given to the borrowing from humps above the general ground level within the road land; Priority will be given to the borrowing by excavating/enlarging existing tanks; Borrowing will be from land acquired temporarily and located at least 500m away from the road; Borrowing will be from mounds resulting from the digging of well and lowering of agricultural fields in vicinity of the road; Borrow area near to any surface water body will be at least at a distance of 15m from the toe of the bank or high flood level, whichever is maximum. In case of settlements, borrow pits will not be selected within a distance 800 m from towns or villages. If unavoidable, earth excavation will not exceed 30cm in depth; The haulage distance from site will not be too far. Redevelopment plan will be prepared by the contractor before the start of work which should be duly agreed upon by land owner. Borrow pits will be backfilled with rejected construction wastes and covered with vegetation. Borrow areas might be used for aquaculture in case landowner wants such development. Borrow pits located near habitat areas will be re-developed immediately after borrowing is completed. If spoils are dumped, that will be covered with a layers of stockpiled topsoil in accordance with compliance requirements with respect MOEF/SPCB guidelines. Prohibit dumping of waste except inert construction rubble Records: The following records will be maintained: 1. List of Borrow areas identification with capacity and rehabilitation plan 2.

Guidelines for disposal sites The dumpsites filled only up to the ground level could be rehabilitated as per guidelines below and to be decided by the Engineer and the supervision consultant.

103 333 Annex 11 The dumpsites have to be suitably rehabilitated by planting local species of shrubs and other plants. Local species of trees has also to be planted so that the landscape is coherent and is in harmony with its various components. In cases where a dumpsite is near to the local village community settlements, it could be converted into a play field by spreading the dump material evenly on the ground. Such playground could be made coherent with the landscape by planting trees all along the periphery of the playground. Closure of the disposal site should be up to the satisfactory level of site engineer. 9. Penalties Stringent action & penalties should be imposed off on contractor for dumping of materials in locations other than the pre-identified locations. Grievance Redressal mechanism should be in place for taking note and action on such complaints. 10.

107 337 Annex 13 ANNEX 13: MUCK DISPOSAL Bridge construction involves drilling & sinking of well, during pilling and sinking of well Muck generated from excavation of any project component is required to be disposed in a planned manner so that it takes a least possible space and is not hazardous to the environment. An account of the same has been given in the following paragraphs. 1. Quantity of Muck to Be Generated The total quantity of muck expected to be generated has been estimated to be of the order of approximately 3.00 lakh cum (approx.). 2. Muck Disposal sites The identification of muck disposal areas is done in line with the topographic and site specific conditions. 3. Criteria for Selection of Dumping Sites Based on the geological nature of the rocks and engineering properties of the soil, a part of the muck can be used as construction material. The muck is to be disposed at muck disposal sites. The following points will be considered and followed as guidelines for finalization of the areas to be used as dumping sites: i) The dumping sites have been selected as close as possible to the project area to avoid long distance transport of muck. ii) The sites are free from possibility of toe erosion and slope instability. iii) The dumping sites are either at higher level than the flood level or are away from the river course so that the possibility of muck falling into the river is avoided. iv) There is no active channel or stream flowing through the dumping sites. v) The sites are far away from human settlement areas. The muck that needs disposal would be piled at an angle of repose less than 30 at the proposed dumping sites. For this, the slopes would be broken up by creating benches across the slope. This will be done to provide stability to the slopes and also to provide ample space for planting trees, which would further help in holding and consolidating the material stacked at different sites. The description regarding the stabilization of the stacked material along the proposed roads has been discussed in the following paragraphs. The muck is expected to be comprised of fragmented rock mixed with soil and shall have Ø (angle of repose) value of 30 and below. The options like dumping muck in stages and allowing it to consolidate/settle through the monsoon, compacting the dumped muck with Dozer movement, zoning the dump judiciously to ensure the stability of 30 slope under all superimposed conditions will be utilised. 4. Methodology of dumping The main objectives of process of muck dumping and restoration of these muck disposal sites are: to protect and control soil erosion; to create greenery in the muck disposal areas;

108 Annex to improve and develop the sites into recreational sites; to ensure maximum utilization of muck for the construction purpose; to develop the muck disposal sites/ dumping yards to blend with the surrounding landscape; And to minimise damages due to the spoilage of muck in the project area. In the six lane Ganga project a scientific approach and methodology was followed for identification of the dumping sites. All possible alternate sites were inspected and examined before rejecting or selecting any site. The dumping sites should be: i) With minimum possible forest cover. ii) The populated /settlement areas are far away from the identified dump zones and therefore will be least impact on human life. iii) All the dumping sites will be at higher level than the flood level from the river course to provide protection from high flood. iv) The identified muck sites will be located close to the project area to avoid hazards related to transport of muck to long distances. 5. Dumping Process The generated muck will be carried in dumper trucks covered with heavy duty tarpaulin properly tied to the vehicle in tune with international practice. All precautionary measures will be followed during the dumping of muck. All dumpers will be well maintained to avoid any chances of loose soil from being falling during the transportation. All routes will be periodically wetted with the help of tanker prior to the movement of dump trucks. Dumping would be avoided during the high speed wind, so that suspended particulate matters (SPM) level could be maintained. Further, the dumping will be avoided during heavy traffic. After the dumping the surface of dumps will be sprayed with water and then compacted. A retaining wall shall be constructed prior to dumping of muck. Loose muck would be compacted layer-wise. The height of usage/ Gabion Wall is proposed to be 4.5 m on an average. The muck brought by dumpers will be spread in layers behind the wire crate walls and then compacted by rollers till the top level is achieved. The retaining/sausage wall shall be laid with proper berm and the muck dumped behind it in layers and compacted by rollers. The process shall be repeated up to 50 cm level below the desired height which shall be laid with good soil for providing grass cover. At a regular vertical interval of 1.5 m and 3.0 m c/c masonry drains (catch water drains) shall be provided to drain off the rain water. Proper fencing of the entire area will be done. The muck disposal area will ultimately be covered with fertile soil and suitable plants will be planted adopting suitable bio-technological measures. The project authorities would ensure that the dumping yards blend with the natural landscape by developing the site with gentle slope, patches of greenery in and around them. These sites can also be developed later as recreational parks and tourist spots with sufficient greenery by planting trees. All measures would be adopted to ensure that the dumping of muck does not cause injury or inconvenience to the people or the property around the area. The spillage of muck into the river at any site would be prevented by making concrete retaining walls to retain the muck pile. It shall be ensured that dumping is carried out at a minimum distance of 30 m away from the active river bank. The top surface would be leveled and graded after the capacity of any dumping site is exhausted. The top surface will be covered with soil and grass seeding will be ensured to promote vegetation cover. 6. and Compliance

109 339 Annex 13 i) Each layer shall be rolled compacted. ii) A layer of soil shall be spread on top of it to make it suitable for plantation. iii) Water testing facilities shall be set up for checking quality parameter of water. iv) Soil samples shall be regularly collected and tested for checking the level of contamination. v) Prescribed norms and approvals will be sought from BPCB wherever necessary. vi) All norms of BPCB and MoEF and their acts related to muck disposal shall be complied with.
