    I. INTRODUCTION

    A. Overview 1. The Government of Karnataka (GoK) through the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) has prepared the North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Programme (NKUSIP) under the Asian Development Bank assistance. The proposed NKUSIP is the logical follow-on investment program to the ongoing Loan 2312-IND. The NKUSIP is being formulated as a sector loan with a multitranche financing facility modality. The project goal is to facilitate economic growth in the five towns of North Karnataka under Package 3 and bring about urban basic services to the citizens that are environmentally sound and operationally sustainable. Outputs from several vital studies, financial assessment and social and Environmental Assessment, etc, have formed the backbone for the programme appraisal leading to approval of loan. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Report is considered as an important tool for incorporating environmental concerns at the project level. IEE should be carried out as early as the project planning stage as part of feasibility thus it can assure that the project will be environmentally feasible. 2. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of the proposed sub projects in ’Basavakalyan Town’ is provided in this section following the guidelines of Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Environment Policy (2002) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (EAG) (2003). As the Sewerage System and Water Supply Plan, Slum Improvement Works for Basavakalyan Town in Phase I aim to improve the quality of life by significantly improving the environmental conditions of the city, the environmental impacts are expected to be low and hence a rapid assessment has been performed. The Environmental Assessment is based on reconnaissance surveys, primary and secondary data obtained during actual field surveys, analysis, and from various concerned government departments. The report describes environmental baseline condition of city, existing environmental policies and relevant legislations and administrative framework applicable for the proposed sub component of NKUSIP Package-3. The part covers environmental impacts and mitigation measures for construction and operation phases of the project. Categorisation of project impact has been identified. The Environmental Management Plan and Monitoring Plan are substantiating the IEE report. The IEE report has been prepared as per requirements of ToR of Programme Consultants’ Services. B. Methodology 3. Environmental Assessment (EA) is the process in which environmental factors are integrated into project planning and decision making in details so as to achieve ecologically sustainable development. It aims at predict environmental impacts at an early stage in project planning and design, find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts, shape projects to suit the local environment and present the predictions and options to decision-makers. By using EA both environmental and economic benefits can be achieved, such as reduction of cost and time of project implementation and design, avoid treatment/clean-up costs and impacts of laws and regulations. The methodology adopted for the preparations of feasibility study for the environmental assessment of these sub project are as follows:

    (i) Collection, documentation and analysis of environmental baseline (ii) Environmental Screening. (iii) Assessment of Environmental Effects. (iv) Mitigation Measures (v) Preparation of Environmental Monitoring Plan. (vi) Preparation of Environmental Management Plan

    1 Collection, Documentation and Analysis of Environmental Baseline Data

  • 2

    4. The Data was obtained from secondary sources and also the primary data obtained by conducting survey, testing and field investigation

    2 Reconnaissance Survey 5. The study team visited the selected alignment of sewer line and proposed Sewer Treatment Plant, Water pipe line. Environmental features are being carried out in this survey.

    3 Collection, Collation and Analysis of Data 6. Most of the data collected from the secondary sources. However, primary data field investigation has been drawn. Secondary information was collected from state maps, town maps, census handbooks, Forest Department, Metrological Department, Water Works Deptt and other government publications as well as reports prepared for other projects in town. The data information collected from both primary and secondary sources were collated and analysed.

    4 Documentations of Baseline Conditions

    7. The documentation of the baseline conditions was completed for Project Influence Zone as per the ADB Guidelines. Primary surveys were carried out for determination of field existing scenario.

    5 Environmental Screening 8. Environmental screening is necessary to assess the environmental effects associated with the Project with respect to human health and natural resources. It is also required to categorise the project in terms of its environmental impacts. Environmental screening has been done in line with the guidelines provided in the EAG of ADB (2003).

    6 Assessment of Environmental Effect 9. Potentials and significant impacts were identified on the basis of analytical review of baseline data (both primary and secondary); review of land uses and environmental factors within the Project Influence Zone (PIZ). Identification of the probable environmental effects and needful actions at an early stage of the project facilitate in mitigation of the effects. The environmental effects are therefore, assessed for three stages of implementation of the project i.e. Planning and Design (Pre-Construction), Construction and Post-Construction.

    7 Mitigation Measures 10. Environmental effects anticipated from the Project have been identified based on the environmental screening. Appropriate measures are needed to mitigate such effects. The environmental effects and corresponding mitigation measures required during the Pre-Construction, Construction and Post-Construction phases of the project have been identified accordingly.

    8 Preparation of the Environmental Monitoring Plan and Management Plan 11. Timely actions are needed to help in mitigating the environmental effects. Consultants have therefore prepared an Environmental Monitoring Plan and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) covering environmental issues, mitigative measures and actions required. Actions required for various agencies have also been identified in the EMP. The EMP has been prepared for three phases of the project namely Pre Construction, Construction and Post Construction phases. C. Environmental Regulatory Compliance: 12. The section discusses the existing environmental policies, relevant legislations with respect to the Sewerage sub projects, water supply sub projects, slum improvement works and the administrative frameworks for the supervision and implementation of the provisions stipulated therein. The environmental guidelines and procedures of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have also been discussed in this section. D. Asian Development Bank Requirements 13. ADB confirms that project proponents must include appropriate environmental and social considerations, through various measures, so as to prevent or minimize the impact on the environment and local communities which may be caused by the projects for which ADB provides funding, and not to bring about unacceptable effects. It will thus contribute to the sustainable development of regions. In making its funding decisions, ADB conducts screenings and reviews of environmental and social considerations to confirm that the requirements are duly satisfied. E. Procedures for Confirmation of Environmental Considerations

    1. Screening & Categorisation 14. The subproject was screened using a Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) checklist (Annexure 1 & 2). Given the sector and scale of the project, the substance, and degree of potential environmental impact within the environmental and social context of the proposed project site and surrounding areas, the subproject is considered Category B, requiring an IEE (Table 1).

    Rules, which were formulated in 1986. The Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and the various amendments thereto have been notified under this act. As per the Amendment, formal Environmental Clearance from the ministry is not required for any sewerage, drainage or water supply project.

    2. The Water and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Acts

    16. The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 resulted in the establishment of the Central and State Level Pollution Control Boards (CPCB and SPCB) whose responsibilities include managing water quality and effluent standards, as well as monitoring water quality, prosecuting offenders and issuing licenses for construction and operational of certain facilities similarly. The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, empowers the SPCBs to enforce air quality standards set by the CPCB. 17. The Project requires the obtaining of clearances from the State Pollution Board of Karnataka pursuant to the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, the Cess Act of 1977 and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981.

    3. The Ancient Monument and Archeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 18. According to this act, area within radii of 100 m and 300 m from the protected site are designated as “protected area” and “controlled area” respectively. No development activity (Including building, mining, excavating, blasting) is permitted in the “protected area” and development activities likely to damage the protected property are not permitted in the “controlled area” without prior permission of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) if the site/remains/monuments are protected by ASI or the protected by the State. The Proposed alignment is not close to any protected property and therefore, this act will not be applicable for the project.

    4. Basavakalyan Municipal Council 19. Basavakalyan Municipal Council is mainly responsible for handling key responsibilities like supply of portable water, sanitation and public hygiene, public lighting, sustainable urban growth, regulation of building construction and licensing of commercial activities, etc. 20. With special reference to the sewerage and drainage system, the Basavakalyan Municipal Council is involved in:

    (i) Operation and maintenance of drainage and proposed sewerage systems. (ii) Construction and maintenance of surface drains, deep drains along the road

    and lanes within municipal maintenance.

    C. Project Component:

    37. Presently, there is no sewerage system in Basavakalyan Town. Septic tanks are prevalent and where there are no septic tanks the effluents are discharged into open drains. The sum total of population covered by the individual latrines is approximately 37,000. Domestic wastewater flows through the roadside drains and Nallahs.

    38. The project area, present and projected population in Basavakalyan Town are as below.

    Table 4: Project Area, Present and Projected Population in Basavakalyan Town

    39. The design horizon for the project is 2041. The sewerage system improvement works are proposed in three phases. It is considered that the works under first phase will be implemented under NKUSIP and the works under the second phase may be taken up under phase II works will be taken up in future in other projects. Basavakalyan is divided into four Zones A, B, C & D. The entire works is to be taken up in two phases. In Phase-I, the Zone-A is to be taken up under NKUSIP and in other works zones B,C & D be taken by the Basavakalyan CMC in Phase –II depending upon the fund availability. 40. Works proposed in the first phase works under NKUSIP is for the core developed areas of the city.

    D. Project Description : 1 Sewerage System Improvement Work :

    41. Basavakalyan town is a Class II town of Bidar district of North Karnataka, with an altitude of 662 to 600 mt sloping towards north. Classified as a City Municipal Council

  • 15

    (CMC), Basavakalyan’s population was 58,785 in 2001 covering 23.28 sq. km ( ref map 1). The new territorial jurisdiction of the Basavakalyan CMC covers according to the notification is Basavakalyan Town and Basavakalyan revenue villages namely Tripurant, Sastapur, Narayanapur, Yadalapur & Shivapur. Currently, the average population density is 2525 persons/sq. km. This town has historical background dating back 12th Century. Thus it is one of the religious tourism places Basavakalyan has several deficiencies and there is a need to make substantial improvement in basic infrastructure like sewerage and sanitation facility prevailing in the city to keeping pace with rapid urbanization with growing population and as a tourist destination point.

    42. Presently there is no hygienic sewer system for collection, treatment or disposal in Basavakalyan Town. Septic tanks are prevalent and those without septic tanks discharge effluents to open drains. The domestic wastewater flows through the roadside drains into the nallah’s and pollutes the water sources. Still dry latrines are prevailed in this town. The residences are covered by individual latrines and parts of area are under common toilets. Few areas are still absence of latrine facility and open defecation is coherent. 43. Under the Multisector Project for Infrastructure Improvement in Basavakalyan, sample subprojects under the following sewerage plan were identified and the IEEs were conducted for typical works. This project includes sewerage pipeline, pumping station and treatment plant near Betbelkunta Village for Basavakalyan Town. The Proposed sewerage system is divided into four sewerage zones (ref map 2)

    a. Treatment Technologies

    44. Facultative Aerated Lagoon followed with Polishing Pond has been selected as treatment technology for 12 MLD STP. The technology meets the standards stipulated in the guidelines of CPHEEO. The effluent from the STP will be the standards of discharge for inland surface water disposal: BOD < 30 mg/l Suspended solids < 100 mg/l The treated sewage will be used for land irrigation. The STP is designed to handle expected in year 2041.

    b. Site Selection for Sewerage Treatment Plant at Betbelkunta Village 45. The STP will be constructed sufficiently away from the settlement area. The site selection has been justified because the treated effluent form the plant will be used in agricultural purposes, etc. 46. The peakflow for ultimate design period is estimated to be 12 MLD, it has been estimated that the land requirement per MLD of sewage is for 28 acre. ( ref map 3)

    47. The topography of the predominantly flat. The environmental condition is as same as city general. There is no environmental sensitive area is prevalent within project area not even 100 m of project influence zone. STP will be constructed sufficiently away from the settlement area. The sites selections have been justified because the treated effluent form the plant will be used in agricultural purposes. The sludge can be excessively use for

    manure process and solid waste will be dumped at disposal site. The access road will be constructed from City Main road is already existed to approach the proposed STP site. Site is surrounded by agricultural fields. Due to non-availability of irrigation facilities only rain fed crops are cultivated here. Jawar and pulses are the main crops cultivated in the area. No groundwater extraction points such as bore wells are located with in the vicinity. ( map 4: proposed STP sites and surroundings)

    2 Water Supply System Improvements : 48. About 70% of water supply in Basavakalyan Town is obtained from Mustapur Dam in Chulki nallah. Due to less rainfall in the catchment areas, water storage in Mustapur dam is reduced. Rest are obtained from Tripurant Lake and Bore well in several part of town. Many localities in Basavakalyan Town are water deficient. They are mostly located on the peripheral areas of the Town. There is one Water Treatment Plant at Mustapur Dam, but it is used only 30% of installed capacity. The total water demand for 2041 is 16.20 MLD. 49. The existing water supply system in Basavakalyan Town has been evaluated and studied in detail and the following works are proposed for augmentation to meet water demand in the year 2041. Water supply augmentation is proposed to meet water demand in the year 2041. The required water supply augmentation is 13.93 MLD and this is proposed to be done by extraction from Manjra river at Kongli Barrage and from there water will be store at existing Mustapur Dam during monsoon period.

    50. Broadly, the existing water supply system in Basavakalyan Town can be divided into two sub systems. They are:

    a) Water Supply System based on Surface Water from Chulki Nalla:

    51. In this system, raw water is lifted from Intake works and pumped to water treatment plant installed at a distance of about 5 km towards to north of the town. Treated water from water treatment plants is pumped to Ground Level service reservoirs & Elevated Level service reservoirs at different locations, from where water is conveyed to the distribution network.

    b) Water Supply System Based on Ground Water:

    52. The system mentioned above serves the Basavakalyan Town area. The Tripuranth area is served by eight bore wells and one open well were constructed in the basin of the Tripuranth minor irrigation tank. Water is directly pumped from these wells to the distribution network of Tripuranth village area. 53. At present, 3.57 MLD of potable water is produced in Basavakalyan Town. Out of this, 2.27 MLD water is drawn from Chulki Nalla on Mustapur Dam. The rest 1.30 MLD is pumped from bore wells and open well in the basin of the Tripuranth minor irrigation tank. The present water supply system has crisis over a long period of time. Augmentation of the existing water supply system is required. 54. The total water demand for Basavakalyan Town in the Intermediate stage (2026) and Ultimate Stage (2041) has been estimated and is listed in Table 7

    SURFACE SOURCE FOR BASAVAKALYAN TOWN

    a. Source and Annual demand for Basavakalyan Town:

    55. It is suggested that Manjra river near existing Kongli barrage is the water source to be selected for Basavakalyan Town. The annual drinking water deficit considering daily water deficit for the Ultimate design year 2041 is 0.179 TM Cft without seepage and evaporation losses and with seepage and evaporation losses it will be 0.256 TM Cft as shown in Table 7. This quantity of water will have to be pumped from the Kongli Barrage in four months of monsoon season. The derived daily pumping requirement for a period of four months is 60.0 MLD.

    Source: Janwad Gauged station 56. The total distance from Kongli barrage to Mustapur dam along the road is of 16.00 km. And daily 60 MLD of raw water from Kongli barrage is as to be pumped to Mustapur dam. 57. As per the design, a 1000 mm dia, PSC pipe of 18 KSC is proposed to be laid. An intake well, connecting main and jack well cum pumping station will be constructed on the bank of Manjra river near Kongli Barrage. Existing water is augmented from Chulki Nala but proposed source is from Manjra river. Pollution of raw water supply from upstream

  • 19

    wastewater discharge is not anticipated since, the source of raw water is flowing through rural areas. However, pollution due to soil erosion runoff is anticipated, as the river is flowing through agricultural areas. The attached map is showing the upstream pathway of river which entirely passes through rural areas, no anticipation of polluting inputs from industry, fertilizer, urban runoff, etc ( Ref Map 6) 58. The Basavakalyan ULB will carry out the proposed works in two phases. In Phase-I, the works will be carried under NKUSIP. And in Phase-II, the works will be carried by the Basavakalyan CMC depending upon the fund availability. The source for water augmentation is already finalised in empower committee meeting.

    59. Most of the proposed pipe length is improvement or replacement of old pipe line along the side of existing roads. Although at present there is not much traffic along the proposed route. There are six major distribution of water zone proposed, all are basically residential area. Mostly proposed water works will support to all residential colony, Even major commercial areas mixed landuse of residential unit present. There is no designated institutional landuse. Basically mixed character found. And no displacement of house is found.

    3 Slum Improvements Works: 60. Totally 6 slums are taken for slum improvement works and the proposed 6 slums population is 2880 and number of households is 420. The proposed slums occupy the 8.96 acre of area. While the proposed slums are located within the city, there is no paved road. For water supply, slum households are dependent on stand post only.

    61. Local network of water supply is available for some portions of the slum. There are very few house connections and remaining people are collecting the water from stand posts only. In the Kumbhar Galli slum, quantity of water supply is inadequate i.e., once in a five days for only one hour. One cistern is there, but that is not in use. Eight households of the slum have house connections and there is no stand post. 62. Road side drains are choked up and damaged due to improper slope and maintenance and there are no outfalls for drains and sewage stagnating the whole areas and polluting the surrounding areas also. In rainy season, drains over flow and waste water enter in the houses because there are no outfalls. The drain passing through these slums has created unhygienic condition. There is seepage of the drain water into the houses. Sewage is stagnating and polluting the surrounding areas. Drains are in bad condition due to improper slope and maintenance. 63. There is no UGD network in the slum and waste water is disposed in open drains due to absence of UGD. Due to non-availability of dustbin near the slum, the slum dwellers are dumping garbage into the roadside drains and nearby area. The identified slum improvement work for individual six slums are as follow:

    III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT A. Environmental Profile of Basavakalyan 64. The baseline environmental status of the project influence area is based on available secondary information and collection of primary data by conducting field survey within proposed sewer line and STP and Water Pipe line and other water works and within project influence zone. It will help in assessing the magnitude of potential effect both beneficial as well as adverse due to the proposed project activities on the environment. In order to assess the baseline environment conditions of the project area, the following aspects have been considered. 65. Basavakalyan, a religious and cultural centre of North Karnataka does not have sewerage treatment plant and wastewater flows through roadside drain into nallah. Solid wastes are also dumped into the open drains. These unsanitary practices has created major health problem in the area. To facilitate assessment of adverse environmental impacts, the existing scenario of environmental status of the project region is studied. 66. Basavakalyan, a religious and cultural centre of North Karnataka does not have storm water drainage system and wastewater flows through roadside drain into nallah. Solid wastes are also dumped into the open drains. Most of the drained either not concrete based or not channelised. Most of them carry sewage. To facilitate assessment of adverse environmental impacts, the existing scenario of environmental status of the project region is studied.

    67. Basavakalyan does not have sewerage treatment facility and outfall into holy spring and ultimately at water body. Solid wastes are also dumped into the open drains. These unsanitary practices has created major health problem in the area. To facilitate assessment of adverse environmental impacts, the existing scenario of environmental status of the project region is studied.

    1. Topography & Geology 68. Basavakalyan is a land-locked area with cultivated lands towards east and west. This has restricted the growth in these two directions. Towards the west of the town is the Tripurant tank under whose ayacut cultivation is being done. The growth of the town is linear

    mostly towards the National Highway which is about 6 kms, away. The area towards south is contoured with a number of ridges and valleys. The High Plateau available here is fit for development. The Basavakalyan area falls within the northern maiden belt characterized by expanses of level treeless surface ace punctuated here and there by flat and undulating hillocks, black soil proceeding from compact, hard block basaltic rocks and some lower area. The general slope is south to north ward direction. The maximum elevation is found on Highway NH -9 i.e. 662 m and northward it decreases. Even centre part of city has lower elevation than east and west part. At northward part it becomes 605-600 mt.

    69. The geological formation is more or less similar to Basavakalyan district. The entire Bidar District form almost part of the Deccan Trap and made up of solidified lava. The disintegration and decomposition of the Deccan trap has resulted in the formation of black cotton soil and laterite occurs widely in the district and the town itself. However, a deposit of highly siliceous bauxite clay seismologically area is having lower intensity because of hard, dense compact basaltic rock. So intensity of earthquake is also low.

    2. Soil 70. The red laterite soil and black cotton soil are the main soil types found in the region. The laterite rock is the commonly available and chief building material in the region. Black cotton soil is found around Basavakalyan, and is utilized for agricultural purpose. The physiochemical ties of Basavakalyan soil is drawn in following table:

    5. Water Quality A. Surface Water

    77. The first organized water supply to Basavakalyan Town gets 2.27 MLD water from Chulki Nalla, located at a distance of 16 km from the town and 1.30 MLD from Tripuranth tube well system. Chulki Nalla Water Supply System on Mustapur dam was commissioned in 2002-03. About 68 bore wells, 25 of them fitted with submersible pumps and 43 fitted with hand pumps supplement the sources. The yield of these sources started going down and was insufficient to meet the requirements of the Town. Flow of water of Chulki nalla is not good. As a result the homeostatic mechanism of water itself becomes poor along with the course of stretch. Industrial effluent are also added some extent to make it deterioration. Presently, no STP has been operation in town to make environmentally good to river course. Subsequently the result is poor. 78. As per CPCB Norm the standard of water quality of surface water is as follows:

    neighbourhoods. The vast water body stretch imparts microclimatic condition, which contribute the humidity and dust free cool breezes. Hence the town is located towards eastern hill top of the lake.

    81. The drainage and wastewater inflow into lake is quite striking, which pollutes the water. Besides, the storm water is highly contaminated by the pesticides, weedicides, and chemical fertilizers used in agriculture fields of the catchments area which affects the water quality and the life of the aquatic flora and fauna of the lake also the health of the likely user of the lake. The activities such as cattle washing, cloth washing, etc., which leads the water pollution of the lake. This generates bad and also, after performing different type of superstitious pujas the people will dispose their cloths in the lake and other puja ceremonial offerings like, flowers, concentrate and etc., creates visual pollution. 82. Thus the pleasant and appealing landscape of the lakefront is lost, so this lake shall be protected from the pollution by Conservation and Upgrading extensively, to impart this water body, as a pleasing conspicuous and captivating landscape for the feature of the Town. 83. The lake is comprised of 1.44 sq kmts, in the survey of India Toposheet No. 56 C/13. Geologically the area is covered by latterite followed by BASALT due to humidity and climate the upper portion of the BASALT (Trap) is altered in to latterite. 84. The Lake has been silted up over the centuries to know the average thickness of the silt; geophysical survey was carried out by conducting vertical electrical soundings in the lake. The average thickness of the silt in the central portion of the Lake ranges from 6 to 7.5 meters and the same becomes thin and ranges from 1.5 to 2.0 meters all along the edge of the Lake. The thickness of different layers based on receptivity values is as below.

    Silt --------------------- 1.5 to 7.5 mts. Latterite -------------- 2 to 4.5 mts.

    85. This lake also influences the underground water quality. The Physico-Chemical condition of lake along with adjacent bore well is as below:

    Source: DPR, Tripuranth Lake, 2007 Criticality 86. Due to downtown location of lake in natural drainage carries water of town and huge catchments area as a result the amount of silt is more in both lake and as well as ground water. Consequently EC is also high in Ground water quality and TDS is become high. Although area is under latterite and basaltic nature the hardness of water is less but due to waste water intrusion into Lake. In Tripuranth lake CACO3 value is more than permissible limit. Even it color is also in pale yellow which shows the mixing of sewage water. Mainly cattle washing, clothes washing and waste water all pollutants change its chemical homeostatic nature. The quality of lake water is deteriorated and resulted the adjacent water table in aquifer becomes polluted.

    C. Ground Water: 87. Ground water is drawn through open wells and bore wells fitted with hand pumps. To asses the water quality of town and people access of water quality is to be assessed by examining the water quality of these open wells and bore wells. At present water level of town 18 mt to 20 mt bgl. Although the ground water table is depleted day by day. There is not single point is monitored and tested for wells water quality. By discussion with local people it is revealed that water flow is poor and as a result water tap puts up below the ground level at household level. That water is not use for drinking purpose. Only one time water is supplied for drinking purpose. There is needed to take action for water recharge of aquifer. 88. The overall assessment of this town is that water quality is poor. Maximum water is saline. Whole area’s porosity is very high level. As a result the siltation process is also very high. The after effect of water is that TDS is more. Lots of silt and mud are coming from bore wells. Due to absence of sewer line drainage facility of ground water is become polluted. Total hardness of water is also high it may be due to aquifer’s chemical composition of area. Although, aquifer condition is basically determining factor of physical characteristics of water but the needful treatment is needed for drinking purpose over here. The chemical condition of the area is as follows. The sample water tested data has been drawn as follows:

    D. Waste Water:

    89. Karnataka Pollution Control Board, Bidar has monitored one point of water quality at open drain which is mainly cause of water pollution. The location point is open drain at ward no. 1 near Hanuman Mandir within municipal limit near to assess the outlet of sewage to directly to water body. The tested data has been tabulated as under:

    Source: KSPCB, Bidar 90. Viewing above data it is revealed that the turbidity of water is very high. Although the flow of water is very poor and subsequently TDS value of water has increased. But BOD level is more than 70 times more than permissible limit. It means the intercepts of Sewage in open drain.

    91. Since the water intake point is quite far from city limit. But area is fall under red soil area where, porosity level is too high. Consequently this polluted water percolated to underneath aquifer and get polluted. Presently, water is also intake from ground water near Tripuranth Water tank. The quality of Tripuranth tank is also very poor. City does not get as per standard of Environmental Protection Rule, 1986 Vide 1 level water quality for potable use.

    6. Ambient Air Quality 92. The ambient air quality is one of the most significant indicators of environmental health of a town. Ambient air quality monitoring has not been carried out at any point in the Basavakalyan Town. During transit view it is observed that SPM level is very high. Road side

    condition is poor. The loosened particle of latterite soil is blown with air, which is bad for health. It may cause also asthma. 93. Another most important in Basavakalyan town in respect to Environmental quality for air condition is that 3000 lorry is daily halting in city limit. It carries loot of vehicular pollution to city. Most Lorries are carrying unleaded petrol or diesel driven vehicle and no pollution check has been provided for the city gateway. To make pollution free zone there is need to control the vehicular emission in city with system of fuels 94. As per CPCB norms the standard for Ambient Air Quality of any particular area is as follows:

    Source: CPCB 95. In general the whole Basavakalyan town there is no as such polluting industrial unit, which is operating to produce bulk amount of air pollution. Dal (Pulses) industry and few others are operating within particular premises. Even most of the area under industrial zone is lying vacant and yet to be in operation. But before full operation of industrial site there is need to have common treatment plant and controlling measure for air pollution.

    7. Ambient Noise Quality: 96. Noise can disturb our work, rest, sleep and communication. It can damage our hearing and evoke other psychological and possibly pathological reactions. This fact has been experienced widely and is a serious concern to every one. The Govt. of India has timely included noise as an air pollutant in the amended act of 1997 for which has laid down as following: 97. The Central Pollution Control Board in exercise of its powers under section 16 (2) (h) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, notified the ambient air quality standard in response as:

    Table 22: Standard of Noise Level

    Source: CPCB 98. There is no single monitoring station is being done for assessing the noise level of city. Although only one main spine is catering the main traffic zone to city heart but NH-9 is entering at the gate of the Town. From there main road goes upto fort and old town. Even lorry/trucks are in regular in whole day – night entering into city and several places halting. These are main source of increase of noise level source. There is needed to make separate place to restrict them. Even no single noise barrier has been made in town limit.

    99. No communities of ethnic minorities and indigenous people have been reported within the project area. Health and Hygiene

    (i) No safe disposal method does presently exist. A large number of dry latrines still exist but the night soil freely flows in the open causing serious unsanitary conditions and health hazard. The problem needs immediate attention as it pollutes the public water courses also.

    (ii) The absence of municipal taps and non-availability of staff for maintenance have

    resulted in the poor state of the public latrines, which are largely being used by the slum population.

    Demographic Characteristics:

    100. Population Growth: The town population of Basavakalyan CMC is 58,785 as per census 2001. The town has experienced positive population growth in the last decade (37.41% from 1991 to 2001), compared to 29 % average decadal growth in 1970’s and 1980’s. The population increase in the 1960’s (45.75 % from 1961 to 1971) can be attributed to the importance given to the areas by the State government after reorganization of the states in 1956. The subsequent years have witnessed natural increase of population, with a marginal increase in migration in the last decade attributed to failure of rains and lack of employment opportunities in agriculture.

    101. The estimated

    population for design period by year 2041 is 137,700.

    102. The total number of

    households in the CMC according to the census 1991 is 5,647 Correspondingly, the household size is 7.5, which is far higher compared to the national average of 5, which signifies an increase in the dependency ratio. At present the household size is 6.7, where total household are 8,718.

    Socio Economic Characteristics:

    103. The work force participation rate (WFPR) of the town is 29 per cent. Out of total population only 29 percentage populations is working population and rest 71 percent population are non working population. In 1991 total no of working population were 12031 and in 1981 it became 9720. Day by day number of non-working population is more in number than the working population. It depicts that

  • 34

    one third of the total population is only employed and rest are unemployed. It means the dependency ratio is very high in this town.

    B. Environmental Setting of Investment Programme Component Sites: Site Selection for Sewerage Treatment Plant at Betbelkunta Village

    104. The STPs will be constructed sufficiently away from the settlement area. The sites selections have been justified because the treated effluent form the plant will be used in agricultural purposes, etc. Sludge will be used for manure.

    105. The existing WTP will serve the demand for 2026. For Ultimate design period

    2041 water works to be worked out in Phase II.

    106. The existing site is predominantly agricultural flat field. At present there is no habitation or any permanent structure exists. No irrigational canal or water body are lying within site area.

  • 35

    IV. ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING OF SUB COMPONENTS:

    107. The proposed Sewerage system consists of STP, sewer Line etc. The impacts of proposed works are site-specific, and few are irreversible. In most cases, mitigation measures can be designed to minimize the impact. So this Sewerage sub projects will be categorized as Category B project and as well as Water Supply Sub project will be categorised as Category B. The detail REA checklist for sub components of Sewerage and Water Supply sub project for Basavakalyan Town is appended in Annexure.

    V. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

    A. Overview:

    108. This section identifies and assesses the probable impacts on different environmental parameters during planning, construction and the operation of the proposed development. After studying the existing baseline environmental scenario, initial field surveys, reviewing the process and related statutory norms, the major impacts have been identified and assessed for the design, construction and the operation phases. Potential positive impacts or improvements are also reviewed.

    Potential Impact & Mitigation Measures under Sub Component of Sewerage System, water Supply System and Slum Improvement Works:

    109. Planning and Design covers the construction details, materials of construction

    etc. that ultimately decides the impact during later phases. Most of the impacts are during construction and operation phase. While some of the construction phase impacts are temporary, some are permanent. The permanent impacts would be positive in nature such as increase in business & employment opportunities, reduction in accidents, and comfort in journey.

While some of the construction phase impacts are temporary, some are permanent. The permanent impacts would be positive in nature such as increase in business & employment opportunities, reduction in accidents, and comfort in journey.

    111. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact

    magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent). The following table shows the screening of impacts; N/T represents the lowest impact while S/P represents the highest impact. Numerator represents the Degree of Impact and denominator represents the Duration of impact.
