Introduction
0Rural Connectivity and growth are linked intrinsically, be it in the area of Trade, Employment, Educationor Healthcare. Rural road connectivity is a key component of rural development in securing poverty
* alleviation by providing easy access to marketing centers for the agricultural produce at lower* transportation cost resulting in higher price realisation thereby increasing rural income. The roads further
promote access to education, healthcare, increased employment opportunities, improve economicactivities and generally result in higher standard of living. Against the above background, provision of
0 rural roads has been integrated into the Assam Agriculture Competitiveness Project (AACP).
The ARIASP Society administers the rural roads intervention through the Public Works Department inNine districts of the state. The ARIASP Society has identified executing agencies in each of the districts.
* These agencies shall undertake planning, design and implementation through the Executive Engineers ineach of the districts. Districts selected for improvement of rural roads are Barpeta, Nalbari, Goalpara,
* Dhubri, Morigoan, Sonitpur, Karimganj, Jorhat and Hailakandi.

on a revenue map. This would be conducted by the Executive Engineer (EE) or his appointedrepresentative not below the rank of Assistant Engineer (AE) in co-ordination with the local
* community and the revenue officials through transects. Consultations with the local communities* are to be conducted during these transects to obtain their suggestions and incorporate their
concerns to address the potential environmental impacts. Suggestions of the commnunity during* the transect walk are to be incorporated, to the extent possible, while finalising the alignment.* The methodology for conduct of transect shall be as per ECP PWD-20.0, "Consultations for

1.2.4 In case of flood prone areas and/or areas with very flat slopes, hydrological surveys have to beconducted before alignment finalisation. Inputs derived from these surveys such as the need forprovision of culverts/bridges or other cross/roadside drainage structures should be considered inthe alignment finalisation.

* 1.3.2 Design Speed: Ruling design speed to be reduced to 40 km/hr from 50 km/hr in plain and 35* km/hr in rolling terrain. This speed is to be followed in link roads less than lOkm length
without any further relaxation.
* 1.3.3 Road Land Width: If larger widths are available the existing standards of IRC:SP-20:2002should be followed. The minimum standard road land width may be reduced to 12 m in plains inareas where it is difficult to obtain 15 m, keeping local conditions in view and after assigningreasons of keeping reduced width. The requirement may be further reduced to 9 m in areas underintensive irrigation but in such cases, the roadway width shall also be reduced to 6 m.
* 1.3.4 Roadway Width (Formation width): The minimum of 7.5 m of roadway may be reduced to 6* m incase of hilly terrain and short link village roads connecting single habitations. This would
result in reducing the need of larger road land width and reduce quantity of soil required for
embankments..
* Alignment selection criteria in hill roads * The road should cross the ridges at their lowest elevation. Relative economics are to be worked out before
_ deciding upon the alignment.* * Hairpin bends are to be kept to a minimum. If unavoidable, the alignment should be such that a flat hill slope is
obtained for its location.* Unstable hill slopes to be avoided, as such slopes are prone to landslides and are subject to seepage or flow from
* streams.* Avoid encroaching on wetlands or water bodies.* Provide adequate cross-drainage structures to ensure that natural drainage patterns are not altered

1.3.6 Embankment height: In flood prone areas, height of embankment shall be a minimu of 0.6 mabove expected highest flood level. In all other areas embankment height shall be kept as low aspossible. However, in no circumstances could not be reduced below 0.3 m - 0.4 m.
1.3.7 Geometrics: (i) The alignment should be designed for maximum possible radius of curves.Minimum absolute curve radius of 50m ( 40 km/hr and 38m @ 35 km/hr should be adoptedwithout further relaxation due to safety reasons. (ii) Junction design of access road with collector
* road should be in conformity with IRC: SP-20: 2002 for both sight distance and flaringrequirements.
1.3.8 Drainage: For large catchment areas with low ground slopes, the accumulation of water causesflooding on the up-stream of the road. The increased velocity of water passing through theculverts causes scour on the down-stream and alters natural ground levels and scour of land.Hydrological studies are to be conducted in large catchment areas to limit the afflux and provideadequate waterway for cross-drainage structures.

i. Cattle crossings to be provided at normal crossing routes for safety of both cattle and road user.ii. Ramps for access to and from agriculture lands for cross traffic are to be provided to avoid
* damage to embankment and roadside drain.
* iii. At all CD works shall have steps constructed for inspection, repair and maintenance purpose.* iv. Shoulders should be paved at destination/roadside villages and provide bus bays to avoid traffic

.1.3.10 Community Concerns: Community concerns, expressed during consultations are to be
addressed to the extent possible in the design of the road. The concerns need to be documentedand checked for addressal. In case any of the measures are not incorporated, the same needs to
* be intimated to the community with adequate explanation after design finalisation.
* 1.3.11 Road Signages: Adequate informatory, cautionary and warning road signs should be providedto ensure traffic safety, especially in the event of adoption of lower standards. The signboards
* should be placed such that they do not block the line of sight.

ECP PWD-4.0 Alternate Materials for Construction
O 4.1 General
4.1.1 The use of alternate materials for construction focuses on the management and reuse of wastematerials locally available in the project area with the added advantage of economizing theproject cost incase lead for usual road materials is high. Potential waste materials that can beused in include: quarry overburden and other industrial wastes. Lime or mechanical stabilizationtechniques should be utilised in case the materials available around the project area is notsuitable for construction in its original condition. The guidelines for the use of waste materials inrural roads construction are laid down in IRC:SP-20:2002. This code of practice focuses on thefeasibility of adoption of these materials for construction in the four project states.
* 4.2 Project Preparation Stage
4.2.1 During the DPR stage, the sources and suitability of alternate materials should be identified. In* case of availability of alternate materials, the DPR shall specify the following: (i) Characteristics* and availability of the material (ii) Possibility of use in the project (iii) Methods of testing,
specifications, recommended usage and (iv) Mechanism for procuring and transporting to thesite. The feasibility of its use shall be based on the lead from the project corridor, suitability ofthe material and the extent of use.
4.2.2 The EMU must ensure that provision shall be made in bid document as a special conditions,specifying the use of alternative material, if available in the vicinity of the project area as per thecentral government directive on the issue.

ECP PWD-9.0 Slope Stability and Erosion Control
* 9.1 General
9.1.1 Stability of slopes is a major concern in hill areas and locations of high embankment. In cases ofhigh embankment, water retention at the embankment base initially causes toe failure andsubsequently failure of the whole embankment. Soil erosion is consequent to high runoff on hillslopes of Cachar District. Embankments made up of silty and sandy soils get eroded, in theabsence of vegetative cover, when the slopes are steep say more than 20 Degree.
9.1.2 The scope of this ECP includes measures to minimize the adverse environmental impacts due to* slope instability and soil erosion. The adverse environmental impact can be: (i) damage to
* adjacent land, (ii) silting of ponds and lakes disturbing the aquatic habitat (iii) erosion of richand top fertile top layer of soil (iv) contamination of surface water bodies and (v) reduction inroad formation width due to erosion of shoulders/berms.
* 9.2 Project Planning and Design Stage

* (a) Topographical
* (b) Hydrological
* (c) Geo-technical and
(d) Geological Investigation (in case of hill roads)
9.2.2 Slope stability analysis for retaining / breast walls of height greater than 5m shall be carried outin Cachar District. The stability analysis shall be as per IRC: SP-48: 1998. Based on these
0 investigations slope stabilisation measures are to be incorporated for finalising the alignment* design.
* 9.2.3 In addition to the slope stability analysis the alignment should be such that (i) Steep as well asheavy cuts are avoided, (ii) Flora and fauna of the area are not disturbed and (iii) Naturaldrainage pattern is not obstructed.
* 9.2.4 For high embankments, geo-technical investigations (determination of C, 4, density etc.) of theavailable material need to be done to check its suitability as fill material.

9.4.1 Slope stabilisation techniques and erosion control measures as mentioned below are to beundertaken in hill areas.* Increasing vegetation: On side slopes in hills, immediately after cutting is completed and debris is removed,
vegetative growth has to be initiated by planting fast growing species of grass. This would prevent high
velocities of runoff and resultant gully formation as well as pounding of water on the road bench. Box 9-1* gives detailed specifications for provision of vegetation cover.
Description:The vegetative cover should be pl3nted in the region where the soil has the capacltN to support the
* plantation and at locations where meteorological conditions favours vegetative growth.* Site Preparation:
* To prevent the seeds from being washed away subsequent to sowing, the area should be protected with surfaceroughening and diversions.
* Soil samples should be taken from the site and analysed for fertiliser and lime requirements.
Seed Application:* The seed should be sown uniformly as soon as preparation of the seedbed has been completed.* No seed should be sown during windy weather, or when the ground surface is wet, or when not tillable.
* Maintenance:* During first six weeks, the planting should be inspected by the EE or his appointed representative nota below the rank of AE, to check if the growth is uniforn and dense. Appropriate moisture levels shall be
maintained. There may be requirement of watering the plantings regularly during the dry seasons.* Fertiliser and pest control applications may also be needed from time to time.
S
Bally Benching: To control the erosion on slopes as well as for arresting the shallow movement of top mantle slide* mass at the construction location, the Contractor should provide Bally Benching. This method is also very effective in
preventing gully erosion. Typical arrangements with detailed specifications are shown in Figure 9.2. Bally benchingshall be installed as per IRC: SP: 48-1998.
Figure 9.2: Layout and Design Specification for Bally BenchingS. Check dams: Sheet and channel erosion on hill slopes gentler than l(V):12(H) can be prevented effectively through

Box 9-2: Check Dam
* General:A check dam is a small dam constructed in a drainage way to mitigate sheet and channel erosion by
* restricting the flow velocity. On steeper slopes greater than 1: 12 (H:V), check dams are not effective.* Basic Design Criteria:
* Check dams are usually constructed of riprap, logs, sandbags, and/or straw bales.* The maximum check dam height should be 0.6 m.
* The centre of the check dam should be a minimum of 25 cm lower than the ends to act as a spillway for runoff, asillustrated in Figure 9.3
* Overflow areas should be stabilised to resist erosion.* * Stone check dams should use 7.5 cm or larger stone with side slopes of 2:1 (H:V) or flatter and should be keyed into
the sides and bottom of the channel for a minimum depth of 0.6 m. The drainage area for a stone check dam should notexceed 0.2 Sq Km

Box 9-3: Detailed Speciflcations For Silt Fencing
Description:
* Silt fencing is as temporary sediment barrier made of woven, synthetic filirauion fabric supported by steel or wood post.Incase of high embankment, coir mat geotextile may be used.The purpose of the silt fence is to prevent sediment carried by sheet flow from leaving the site and entering to naturaldrainage or any other water body located near the construction site. Silt fencing encourages the sheet flow and reduces thepotential for development of rills and gullies. Care should be taken that silt fences are not installed across streams, ditches,waterways or other concentrated flow areas. All silt fencing should be installed along the contour, never up or down a
i * slope. Where all the sheet flow run off is to be stored behind the silt fence, maximum slope length should not exceed as* shown in the Table 9-1

Construction Specification:Silt fencing (Refer Figure 9.4 for Cross-section) consists of 1.0 m wide filter fabric and should be placed on the contour.Incase runoff flow or velocities are very high or where slope exceed vertical height of 3.0 m, silt fencing should be wirereinforced as shown in the Figure 9.5. The contractor should purchase silt fencing in a continuous roll to the length of thebarrier to avoid the use of joint. Incase of joints, filter cloth should be spliced together only at supporting post, withminimum 15 cm overlap and securely sealed. The pile is drive to the depth of 300 mm into the ground by pressing from

* The design specifications as well as location should be finalised during the Project Preparation Phase.During the execution period in post-construction stage, EE or his appointed representative not below therank of AE must ensure that all the guidelines are to be followed as per specification during the site
* preparation and installation of erosion control matting. Following are the steps need to be followed forthe placing erosion control matting:
* Site Preparation:* The areas should be fertilised and seeded.. A smooth surface free of depression that allows water to collect or flow under matting is required.* The soil should be left with loose surface after seeding.
* The material should be steel wire formed into "U" shape and should be 15 cm to 25 cm long.
Installation:. Filter fabric made of biodegradable material (eg. Jute) should be placed approximately horizontally on the slope less
* than 2:1* Prior to netting, a 10 cm anchor trench should be dug at the top and toe of the slope with the top trench placed 30 cm
back from the crown, or a bern over which the fabric can be carried.* . For horizontal application, work must proceed from the bottom towards the top of the slope with a 10 cm overlap.* After cutting material should be folded less than 7.5 cm to 1 0 cm at the end, stapled and covered.
* Staples should be placed at a spacing of 22.5 cm to 30 cm apart in the trenches along the horizontal lap joints.
* 9.5 Post Construction Stage
9.5.1 All the exposed slopes shall preferably be covered with vegetation using grasses, brushes etc.* Locally available species possessing the properties of (i) good growth (ii) dense ground cover* and (iii) deep root shall be used for stabilization.

ECP PWD-12.ODrainage
aa 12.1 General
12.1.1 A road with good drainage is a good road. Inadequate and faulty drainage arrangements result inobstruction to natural drainage pattern. The problem is further aggravated in the low-lying areasand flood plains receiving high intensity rainfall, which can lead to the instability ofembankment, damage to pavement, sinking of foundation, soil erosion, safety hazards anddisruption in traffic. Provision of cross-drainage and longitudinal drainage increases the life ofthe road and consequently reduces water logging and related environmental impacts. Thefunctioning of the drainage system is therefore a vital condition for a satisfactory road.
* 12.1.2 However, construction or upgradation of CD structures and longitudinal drains is likely toincrease sediments, scour the banks, change water level and flow, and affect the ecology of thesurrounding area.
12.1.3 The present code shall address the environmental concerns related to drainage aspects duringdifferent stages of the project execution. Sub activities requiring incorporation during variouss stages of project implementation and their significance levels for drainage aspects discussed
* below.
12.2 Project Planning and Design
*l 12.2.1 Drainage shall be broadly taken up as (i) Cross-Drainage and (ii) Longitudinal Drainage bothsurface & sub-surface drainage. The alignment shall be routed such that minimum drainagecrossings are encountered. Also the geometric design criteria as per IRC:SP-20:2002, foreffective surface drainage should be ensured.
12.2.2 All drains crossing the alignment shall be identified on site and marked on map while0 undertaking transect walk. Basic information on the width of channel, frequency of traffic
holdup and flow would provide inputs into screening of alternate alignments as well as fixing thealignment. Consultations with the conmnunity shall provide information on the HFL in the area.
* 12.2.3 In areas of high and medium intensity rainfall (>400 mm/year), flood prone areas and hilly areasdesign of CD structures shall be prepared to avoid scouring on the downstream side and affluxon the upstream side. In areas where there are likely incidences of flooding/scouring, additional
* hydrological studies will need to be conducted and designs updated accordingly. The studies* shall be conducted as per IRC: SP-13: 1973 "Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges &a Culverts" and IRC: SP-33:1989 "Guidelines on Supplemental Measures for Design, Detailing
& Durability of Important Bridge Structures".
a 12.2.4 Design of cross-drainage structures shall be based on the inputs from the hydrological studies asa per clause 12.2.3 and in other areas, the C-D structure design shall be as per IRC:SP-20:2002.
a 12.2.5 Design of C-D structure shall be such that:* Normal alignment of the road is followed even if it results in a skew construction of culverts and stream
bank protection are incorporated* . Afflux generated is limited to 30 cm in plains with flat land slopes
. It is fish friendly - fish passage is not interrupted either in upstream or downstream direction* Adequate openings shall be provided along with adequate scour protection measures for stream bank,
* roadway fill as head walls, wing walls and aprons.
. Reinforced road bed (of concrete or rock) for protection against overflow in case of low water crossing(fords/causeways) is included
* . The design of C-D structure should have stairs leading to the bed of the drainage channel, for regularinspection of the sub-structure.
* 12.2.6 Schedule of construction of C-D structures should be confined to dry months to avoidcontamination of streams
* 12.2.7 Longitudinal drains are to be designed to drain runoff from highest anticipated rainfall as per* rainfall data for the past 20 years or 50 years as per hydrological analysis in high rainfall areas* (annual rainfall > 1000 mm) and hill areas. For design of longitudinal drains in other areas, the* design shall be as per IRC:SP-20:2002.
* 12.2.8 Outfall of the roadside drains shall be into the nearby stream or culvert. The outfall should be atsuch a level that there would be no backflow into the roadside drain. Wherein pond/low lying
* 0 areas exist in the vicinity, the flow, may be diverted into them after removal of sediment for* possible ground water recharge.
* 12.2.9 Incase of Cachar District, if no natural stream is found appropriate for roadside drain outfall,* water-harvesting structures shall be constructed to collect the runoff. The location shall be* determined based on the size of the structure (which in turn depends on the discharge* anticipated) and willingness of the landowner who would be utilizing the collected water. These
shall be determined by the EE or his appointed representative not below the rank of AE inconsultation with the landowner during project preparation stage.
12.2.10 The roadside ditches in high rainfall areas (annual rainfall > 1000mm) and hill areas, shall be* lined to protect from runoff of high velocities.
12.2.11 In case of high embankment (>l.Om) or bridge approaches, lined channels shall be provided todrain the surface runoff, prevent erosion from the slopes and avoid damage to shoulders and
* berms. Detailed specifications shall be as per IRC:SP-20:2002.

* . The contractor shall schedule the activities based on the nature of flow in the stream.
* The contractor should inform the concerned departments about the scheduling of work. This shall form partof the overall scheduling of the civil works to be approved by EE or his appointed representative not below
* the rank of AE.
. Erosion and sediment control devises are to be installed prior to the start of the civil works.* Interceptor drains to be dug prior to slope cutting to avoid high runoff from slopes entering construction
sites in case of hill roads
* . Runoff from temporary drains and interceptor drains to be directed into natural drains in hill roads. In case of up-gradation of the existing CD Structures, temporary route / traffic control shall be made for the
safe passage of the traffic, depending upon the nature of the stream* All the safety/warning signs are to be installed by the contractor before start of construction
* 12.3.2 In case of utilization of water from the stream, for the construction of the CD structures, the* contractor has to take the consent from the concemed department (refer ECP PWD-8.0, "Water
for Construction")
12.4 Construction Phase-
12.4.1 Drainage structures at construction site shall be provided at the earliest to ensure propercompaction at the bridge approach and at the junction of bridge span and bridge approach.
12.4.2 In hill areas sub-surface drains, if required, shall be provided immediately after cutting theslopes.

ECP PWD-17.0 Managing Induced Development0X 17.1 General
17.1.1 Rural lands have a distinct character consisting of productive farmlands with natural areas and
limited residential settlement. Developments allowed to grow along the village roads, unless
planned and regulated, have the potential to generate traffic and pedestrian movements that canlead to unsafe traffic conditions. Lack of planning controls in the rural areas has allowed
roadside development, ranging from individual commercial establishments to continuousstretches of ribbon developments. This code of practice provides measures for regulating theland uses along the roads and tackling induced developments likely along the rural roads. The
measures suggest a greater involvement of the Village Panchayats and the Road Authorities for
* the rural roads. The measures suggested are in accordance with the roles and responsibilities of* the PRIs as suggested in the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992 and the respective State Panchayat Acts.
17.2 Project Planning and Design Stage
* 17.2.1 As part of the design stage, the Nodal NGO Locations vulnerable to induced* shall identify areas that are susceptible to development...
induced development impacts. These . Lands within 50m ofjunctions
locations will be finalised in consultation . Agricultural lands within 100m of settlements
with the Gram Panchayat. It shall be the . Stretches within I OOm of temples, weekly fairs and
* responsibility of the Nodal NGO to educate locations of community mass gatherings
the community on the safety issues due to ribbon development.
0 17.2.2 The designs of the road shall be such that the access points conform to certain minimumgeometric standards.
* 17.2.3 The dissemination of the roles and responsibilities of the Village Panchayats in regulating* development along the rural roads will be ensured by the Nodal NGO .

I g 17.3.3 Development of Repair Shops, Petty Shops at Junctions: A road junction, especially at locations
where the village road meets a district road is a typical site where such repair shops, petty shopstend to come up. The Gram Panchayat shall ensure that no such shops or structures come up
* within the line of sight. Areas for their development shall be demarcated and parking facilities* shall be provided to encourage them developing away from the road.
* 17.3.4 While deciding upon the location of community assets, the following preventive measures to
address possible induced impacts shall be taken up:* The area around the bus stops has the potential to induce growth of kiosks and petty shops. While this is
unavoidable and also desirable (to minimize the impact on the road), such growth needs to be encouraged* away from the road.
* Community sources of water such as hand pumps are generally sited on the shoulders. It shall be the
responsibility of the Gram Sabha to identify lands outside the RoW and identify any suitable gram Sabhaland accessible from the road. This approach would achieve (i) Safety and (ii) Damage to the road due to
* water logging, usually around such water sources.
* 17.3.5 The Gram Panchayat shall follow the principles given hereunder while planning and developing
* small markets / fairs, which include the selling of agricultural produce:* * Restricting or planning the activity to one side of the road to minimise pedestrians crossing the road
* Provide parking areas if necessary, and clearly delineating the parking areas from the road
* * Providing a good visibility on the approaches to the market area.
* These sites should not be within 150m of the access or egress points of a major junction.
* The commercial areas should be preferably planned lateral to the road than in parallel direction
17.3.6 The Gram Panchayat shall take up appropriate measures towards the removal of encroachments
onto the public land.
17.3.7 The concems of the communities, about the traffic speed and/or volume through the villages are
usually addressed through traffic calming schemes such as road humps or speed breakers/rumble
* strips along the road. The EE or his appointed representative not below the rank of AE shall
* incorporate traffic calming schemes in the design aimed at changing the driver's visual
* perception of the road environment, as they enter the village, so that they adjust their driving
style to better navigate any obstacles encountered. However, such calming devices shall be
provided only in the event of provision of adequate signages and pavement marking.

A screening and review process for identification of sensitive sub-projects with respect to.a environmental/social issues has been worked out. The screening exercise shall be carrieda out by the EE prior to initiation of the DPR activities. The screening exercise shall be a
useful tool to identify the environmental and social issues, and thereby integrate theminto the project preparation, and not as an exclusion criterion for avoidingenvironmental and social impacts. The screening criteria includes:
* Environmental factors, including,* Sensitive areas, natural habitats, protected areas
* * Felling of trees outside the protected areas* Clearance of vegetative cover* Loss of productive agricultural land* Cuts across perennial streams or surface water bodies* Vulnerability to natural hazards, land slides/slips and,* Environmental features as marshy areas, sand dunes etc
* Social factors, including,* Land availability* Loss of structures
* * Loss of livelihood* Impacts on Indigenous population
* * Impacts on common property resources, and,. Demand from communities for the road.
The screening shall enable categorization of sub-projects based on their environmental /social sensitivity as follows:
Sub-projects, wherein no significant adverse environmental/social impacts are expected,* and
* (i) The environmental impacts will be of the type normally associated with standard rural roadconstruction. The measures suggested in the ECoP shall be adequate to address the general0 environmental issues likely in these sub-projects.
* (ii) The extent of social impacts is minimal. The requirement for land width accretion is notsignificant and there is no impact on structures or loss of livelihood. Any extra land take in the
* sub-projects for the proposed improvements shall be as per R&R policy of AACP. Resettlementimpacts of the vulnerable EPs shall be addressed through the entitlement provisions suggested.
* The documentation of the addressal of the social issues shall be included in the DPR of the sub-projects, as per R&R policy of AACP. In such projects, the level of documentation of theenvironmental and social issues shall be as laid down in the ECoP-1.0, "Project Planning and
* Design" and as per R&R policy of AACP.Sub-projects, wherein there is a potential for significant adverse environmental /socialimpacts,* (i) There is a likelihood of adverse impacts requiring specific interventions such as roads passing
through forestlands, sanctuaries etc, and thereby requiring additional environmental analysis. In, such cases, an EMP as outlined in the ECoP 19.0, "Natural Habitats" shall be prepared as part of* the DPR. The following aspects shall be considered as triggers for the preparation of EMP, (a)
Impacts on natural habitats, (b) Vulnerability to natural hazards, land slides/slips. In addition tothe preparation of the EMP for such projects, the EE shall undertake the particular road
* improvement in compliance with the statutory provisions for Environmental Clearances asapplicable.
