EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Resettlement Action Plan has been prepared for Comprehensive Water Supply
Service Improvements to Guntur Municipal Corporation- Packages-I&III taken up under
APMDP with World Bank assistance. Main objective of this RAP is to mitigate the negative
impacts due to this Sub-Project. This RAP covers project information and its impacts, R&R
arrangements, budget, Grievance Redressal Mechanism and synchronization of R&R and civil
works.
Comprehensive Water Supply Service Improvements to Guntur Municipal Corporation
is formulated with River Krishna as source with intake arrangements at Undavalli. The sub-
project is aimed at augmenting the water supply by construction of Water Treatment Plants
and strengthening the distribution by construction of ELSRs and remodeling of distribution
system. This sub-project is taken up in 3 packages. An ARAP has already been prepared for
Package-II.. Hence, scope of this RAP is limited to Packages-I&III.
The components of this sub-project have been so finalized that negative impacts are
avoided as far as possible. The negative impacts are limited to displacement of 30 residential
squatters on GMC land at Nulakpet and temporary displacement/ disturbance to 3 vendors
on RoW during laying of pipelines. Following are the key provisions of the R&R policy frame
work applied for this sub-project.
All displaced residential squatters (30) will be allotted a house in the resettlement
zone at Tadepalli along with subsistence allowance and shifting allowance. Owners
of the affected houses (21) will be paid compensation for lost structure.
Vulnerable families will be given annuity policy / fixed deposit to yield monthly
income of Rs.500.
Shifting allowance of Rs.2200 and transitional allowance of Rs.3300 will be
provided for affected roadside vendors on RoW.
Implementation of RAP will be done by the Commissioner, GMC. The RAP along with the
budget for the same will be approved by GMC. The R&R implementation schedule has been
synchronized with construction schedule. It will be ensured that compensation for the
residential squatters and roadside vendors on RoW is paid before the commencement of
respective civil works. The concurrent monitoring will be done by a third party monitoring
agency. The tentative budget for this RAP works out to Rs.2.50 crores. The budget provides
for resettlement of residential squatters and compensation to roadside vendors on RoW.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project (APMDP) is a US$ 350 MILLION
project being implemented by Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) with support
from World Bank. The Project is aimed at improving urban services in select ULBs
mainly in water supply and sewerage sectors. The project will also support
improvements in the financial, technical, and management capacities of all ULBs of
Andhra Pradesh through technical assistance to sustain the infrastructures being
created.
1.2 This sub-project for Guntur Municipal Corporation is one of the Comprehensive
water supply service improvements taken up under Andhra Pradesh municipal
Development Project (APMDP).
This Sub-project is divided in to the following 3 Packages.
Package I: Source Augmentation.
Salient components of this Package are:
1. Intake well cum pump house in River Krishna at Undavalli
2. MS Raw water Gravity pipeline from MBR to Water treatment plant at
Takkellapadu Premises.
3. Rapid gravity Water Treatment Plant of capacity 42 MLD at
Takkellapadu in existing WTP Premises.
4. Rapid gravity Water Treatment Plant of capacity 25.20 MLD at Sangam
Jagarlamudi in existing WTP premises.
5. Clear Water Rising mains (from 200mm dia to 900 mm dia with DI K-9 &
DI K-7 pipes) for a length of 30.67km within Guntur Municipal Area.
6. 18 Elevated Level Service Reservoirs (capacity varying from 500 KL
to 2300 KL).
Package II: Remodeling of Distribution System in the Town.
This package comprises remodeling of Distribution System in the ULB which mainly
involves laying of DI And HDPE pipe lines.
5
Package III: Water Meters.
This Package comprises of Supply, Delivery, Fixing and Maintenance of Bulk and
Domestic Water Meters.
SCOPE OF THIS RAP:
An ARAP has already been prepared for Package-II. Hence, scope of this RAP is
limited to Package-I and Package-III.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE RAP:
The assessed adverse social impacts due to this Sub- Project involve displacement of
residential squatters on GMC land at Nulakpet and temporary impact on some road
side vendors on RoW along the alignment of some of the proposed pipe lines.
Mitigation of these adverse social impacts needs assessment of the impacts,
estimation of the compensation, preparation of methodology and schedule for
payment of compensation and establishment of institutional mechanism for
implementation of RAP and grievance redressal. This RAP is prepared to propose and
implement these mitigation measures.
The objectives of this RAP are summarised as follows:
Assessment of impacts of the sub -project
Identification of PAPs by type and extent of loss.
Establish baseline data of the PAPs.
Propose compensation as per the policy frame work.
Estimation of compensation and R & R assistance for the PAPs.
Outline Institutional Mechanism for implementation and Grievance Redressal.
1.4 STAKE HOLDERS’ CONSULTATION:
In order to ensure participation of citizens in project preparation, to improve public
awareness of development objectives of the projects and to promote project
acceptability and transparency, Stakeholders meeting was conducted on 13-06-2011
where details of the project were explained and suggestions of participants were
sought for wider acceptability of the proposal. Proceedings of the meeting are provided
as Annexure- I. The suggestions received during the meeting and the replies are
summarized below.
6
Key Issues Identified/ Suggestions Response by the Urban Local Body/
Integration in DPR.
Muttineni Rajesh, former Corporator suggested
to consider the people coming for study to the
city in floating population.
Yes, the people coming for study purpose
are considered in the floating population.
Consider the surrounding village population into
the design which will be merged in Guntur
Water demand for the surrounding villages
is considered.
Shriram, former corporator, Gujjanagundla
suggested to consider the tanks (cheruvulu) for
storage of the water.
The water is pumped from the WTP to the
concerned sumps to ELSR's and ELSR's to
the distribution system directly. Hence,
storage is not required.
In old Guntur, the two service reservoirs were
constructed in the year 1975 to meet the water
supply demand. However, no additional
reservoirs are constructed afterwards to meet
the present demand
Additional service reservoirs are proposed
in the GMC area to meet the water
demand of the projected population for
the year 2041.
All the project components should be
constructed with highest degree of quality
norms.
The project is designed & will be
constructed with sound engineering
techniques by considering national and
international (World Bank) norms.
Stakeholders requested to increase the quantity
of the water to be supplied in the Corporation
area.
The proposed water supply improvement
scheme is designed for 135 lpcd.
The residents of GMC are ready to pay the
water supply charges of Rs. 200 per month, if
GMC supplies quality and adequate quantity of
water.
The proposed scheme is designed to meet
the GMC requirements comprehensively
with quality and quantity.
After allocation of the World Bank fund to the
proposed water supply improvement scheme,
the construction work should be carried out with
sincere efforts as per the ground requirements
of the project.
The GoAP and World Bank audit norms will
be followed to spend the amount as per
ground reality.
7
Key Issues Identified/ Suggestions Response by the Urban Local Body/
Integration in DPR.
Replacement of the old pipelines, which are
causing frequent pollution.
All the old pipelines will be replaced to
arrest the frequent leakages, mitigate the
water losses and pollution.
The majority of the GMC area is short of water
supply pressures and the water is being polluted
near drainage crossings in the GMC area. These
two problems should be taken care of.
In proposed project such drainage
crossings will be avoided
8
SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS:
2.1 While formulating the subproject, various efforts have been made to minimize resettlement.
During planning and designing, attempt has been made to restrict the construction works within
the ULB lands and RoW of Government/ ULB land. Due to these efforts, impacts are limited to
residential squatters on Guntur Municipal Corporation land in the alignment of proposed
M S Gravity main at Nulakpet beside the drain and some roadside vendors/ kiosks on RoW in
the town.
2.2 The impacts are ascertained for each component of the project based on the proposed site of
construction /alignment. Necessity of land acquisition, Impacts on public/ private properties,
necessity for temporary relocation of roadside kiosks on RoW and disturbance to business have
been ascertained for each component of the sub-project. The details of proposed investment
components and the potential impacts of those components are described below.

The grievances can be registered at the complaint cell established at the ULB.
The Complaint Cell will also act as a Public Information Centre, where the grievances
of the community will be registered and other information with regard to the project, the
sub-projects, social and environmental safeguards will be provided. The grievances
can pertain to any social and/or environmental issues triggered by sub-projects under
the APMD Project. The Complaint Cell would forward the grievance to the S&E officer.
If the grievance couldnot be redressed by S&E Officer, it will be forwarded to the
ESMC( Environmental and Social Management Committee) for redressing. A District
Urban Grievance Redressal Body will be established for redressing the grievances
that couldnot be solved by S&E Officer and ESMC at ULB level This body will consist
of 4 to 5 eminent citizens in the District and are from diverse backgrounds such as,
education, health and sanitation, urban infrastructure, civic affairs and TLF President
with District Collector as Chairman. It will facilitate and suggest suitable action to
redress the grievances of the community/public. At the State level a State Urban
Grievance Redressal Body has been established along similar lines. If the S&E
officer cannot redress the grievance within a specified time period, the grievance
would be forwarded to the ESMC and further to the District Urban Grievance
21
Redressal Body constituted at the District level. The grievances that cannot be
redressed at the District Urban Grievance Redressal Body level would be referred to
the State Urban Grievance Redressal Body. Each of these authorities can be
approached directly for grievance redressal by the aggrieved person/party.
4.8 PUBLIC DISCLOSURE:
RAP in English and Summary in Telugu will be placed at public disclosure
places and the web sites of APMDP and CDMA for the benefit of all concerned . The
public disclosure places, at the minimum, include the following:
ULB Offices and libraries of the project area (Commissioner office
and Municipal libraries)
District Collectorate.
Departmental websites.
4.9 MONITORING AND EVALUATION:
M&E will focus on effectiveness of RAP implementation, disbursement of
compensation, the effectiveness of public consultation and participation activities. The
objective of monitoring is to provide the project authorities with feedback on RAP
implementation and to identify problems and successes as early as possible to allow
timely adjustment of implementation arrangements.
MSU along with third party monitoring agency will monitor the progress of
resettlement regularly and will provide necessary guidance to GMC. A report on
payment of assistance will be sent to MSU- APMDP once the payments are completed
along with the certification of payments. In addition, quarterly Confirmation Note will
be sent indicating the details of additional impacts or otherwise, throughout the
construction period.
4.10 IMPACT EVALUATION:
An independent agency will be appointed to undertake an impact evaluation
after 6-12 months of payment of compensation and R&R assistance to assess the
impact of resettlement vis-à-vis compensation and assistance paid to the PAPs by
verifying the changes in the living standards against the baseline values assessed
during the census surveys and subsequent updates.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
1. Sub-project Description
As part of the initiative taken by the Commissioner & Directorate of Municipal Administration (CDMA),
Government of Andhra Pradesh under the Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project (APMDP), a
project on comprehensive planning of water supply improvement in Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC)
is in the process of detailed engineering studies. M/s. Aarvee Associates Architects Engineers &
Consultants Pvt., Ltd., Hyderabad is providing the consultancy services for this project. With initiative
and help from the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC), Consultant has given the presentation at
Stakeholders Meeting twice at the GMC premises and other consultations at service reservoirs. The major
objectives of the project are:
Assessing the status of existing water supply system in Corporation area.
Develop an action plan to improve the system performance immediately in the form of project
interventions (immediate interventions, short term and long term interventions).
Preparation of a draft Detailed Project Report (DPR) including preparation of social &
environmental assessment and management framework.
Preparation of Capacity Building and Action Plan.
The details of the water supply improvement scheme proposed in Guntur Municipal Corporation area
upto Feasibility stage and Concept plan is given for various project components are given below:
Sources of water and Intake structure:
The major sources of water in GMC are 1. Vengalayapalem infiltration galleries, 2. Kommamuru canal, 3.
Guntur canal and 4. Mangalagiri canal system. The intake structure is constructed near Undavalli village,
which serves the water to all the raw water supply to GMC. The proposed source of water to GMC is a
parallel line from Undavalli Intake well to existing WTPs near Takkellapadu.
Water conductor system or Rising main:
The new water conductor system is proposed parallel to the existing system which will pass through
Undavalli intake to – Mangalagiri pumping station -Takkellapadu WTP.
Water Treatment Plants (WTPs):
There are three WTPs are existing, two nos. at Takkellpadu – Old: 45 + New: 45 = 90 MLD and one at
Sangam Jagarlamudi – 27.3 MLD. The proposed WTP to be constructed near Takkellapadu with a
capacity of 42 MLD (Year 2026) and 25.20 MLD (2026) at Sangam Jagarlamudi.
26
Elevated Service Level Reservoirs (ELSRs):
There are 24 nos. Elevated Service Level Reservoirs (ELSRs) present and another 15 nos. of ELSRs will be proposed by considering the water supply demand upto 2041.
Distribution System:
The distribution system will be partially replaced by new lines to meet the requirements for the year
2041. The entire town will be covered with distribution system by implementation of the proposed water
supply improvement project.
2. Issues raised by the community and responses provided
Sl.No. Key Issues Identified Response by the Urban Local Body
1
Technical issues:
i) Muttineni Rajesh, former Corporator
suggested to consider the people coming for
study to the city in floating population.
ii) Consider the surrounding village
population into the design which will be
merged in Guntur.
iii) Shriram, former corporator,
Gujjanagundla suggested to consider the
tanks (cheruvulu) for storage of the water.
iv) In old Guntur, the two service reservoirs
were constructed in the year 1975 to meet
the water supply demand. However, no
additional reservoirs are constructed
afterwords to meet the present demand.
v) All the project components should be
constructed with highest degree of quality
norms.
Responses:
i) Yes, the people coming for study purpose are
considered in the floating population.
ii) Water demand for the surrounding villages is
considered.
iii) As the water is pumped from the WTP to the
concerned sumps to ELSR's and ELSR's to the
disrtribution system directly. Hence, storage is
not required.
ii) Majority of the project is planned by gravity.
iii) In the proposed improvement scheme, the
distribution network system is designed to meet
the minimum residual pressure head of 7.0 m.
Hence, the water pressure problems in the GMC
area will be solved.
iv) Additional service reservoirs are proposed in
the GMC area to meet the water demand of the
projected population for the year 2041.
v) The project is designed & will be constructed
with sound engineering techniques by considering
national and international (World Bank) norms.

2
Social Issues:
i) Stakeholders requested to increase the
quantity of the water to be supplied in the
Corporation area.
ii) The residents of GMC are ready to pay the
water supply charges of Rs. 200 per month,
if GMC supplies quality and adequate
quantity of water.
iii) After allocation of the World Bank fund to
the proposed water supply improvement
scheme, the construction work should be
carried out with sincere efforts as per the
ground requirements of the project.
Responses:
i) The proposed water supply improvement
scheme is designed for 135 lpcd, which may solve
the requirements of the GMC.
ii) The proposed scheme is designed to meet the
GMC requirements comprehensively with quality
and quantity.
iii) The GoAP and World Bank audit norms will be
followed to sped the amount as per ground
reality.
3
Environmental Issues:
i) Chlorination is improper resulting in water
pollution occurring in old Guntur area.
ii) Replacement of the old pipelines, which
are causing frequent pollution.
iii) The majority of the GMC area is short of
water supply pressures and the water is
being polluted near drainage crossings in the
GMC area. These two problems should be
taken care off.
Responses:
i) ULB officials promised and directed the
concerned engineers to maintain adequate free
residual Chlorine in the distribution end.
ii) All the old pipelines will be replaced to arrest
the frequent leakages, mitigate the water losses
and pollution.
iii) In proposed project such drainage crossings
will be avoided
