1.0 Introduction

1.1 The Project

Ministry of Shipping Road Transport and Highways (MoSRT&H), Government of India hasdecided to take up the development of various National Highways where the intensity of

traffic has increased or likely to increase significantly. There is a requirement of

augmentation of capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic. One of such corridors of

significance is North-East corridor connecting Pune to Solapur. National Highways Authority

of India (NHAI) has been entrusted to implement the development of this corridor.

Environmental Management Plan sets out the environmental management procedures

during design, construction and operation phase, including mitigation & enhancement

measures, institutional and monitoring requirements. This EMP also provides the guidelinesand instructions to be followed by the PIU (PWD) for effective implementation of the project.

The proposed project involves rehabilitation, strengthening and widening to 4-lane dual

carriageway of North - East corridor of the National Highway in the States of Maharashtra

which includes NH-9 from Pune (PWD km 40/000) to PWD km 144/400. The project consists

of a Feasibility Study and Detailed Design for preparation of a Detailed Project Report

(DPR). The major towns along the project road include Tembhurni & Indapur.

1.2 Project ComponentsThe various activities / components involved in the project include design process and

construction activities. Some of the major activities likely to take place to implement the

proposed up-gradation / improvement project are: Site clearing & grubbing, Earthwork,

Pavement removal, Granular sub-base, Water bound macadam sub-base / base,

Bituminous pavement layers, pavement widening, Drainage, Safety measures, Bridge &

Culvert improvement, Waste material management, Equipment staging & materials,

Aggregate and sand quarries etc. These major activities have been taken into account while

finalizing the methodology for the impact assessment of the project.

1.3 ObjectiveEnvironmental management plan (EMP) has been recommended by considering broad

aspects, which includes

Suitable measures to be taken in light of specific project issues,

Implementation & supervision through competent agencies for EMP,

Environmental status reporting frequency, and

Institutional arrangement, strengthening of their capability, and role.

1.4 Environmental Management Components

The various components which are considered for the environmental management aspects

and to be included in the environmental management plan, broadly consists of

environmental mitigation aspects, environmental performance indicators to be monitored

and reporting system, environmental enhancement measures, arboriculture and landscaping

aspects, financial aspects required for the effective implementation of the environmental

management Plan and Institutional Strengthening and training of the project implementationunit. These are discussed in the report herein.

3.0 Monitoring & Reporting

3.1 Monitoring

The adverse environmental impacts identified during the Environmental impact

Assessment process of the proposed project may increase further during the construction

as well as during post-construction as well as during post-construction phase. Monitoring

of environmental factors and constraints will enable agencies to identify the changes in the

environmental impacts at particular locations, application of mitigative measures and

utilisation of standard design guidelines for finalisation of alignment design. Monitoring will

also ensure that actions taken are in accordance with the construction contract and

specifications. It provides a basis for evaluating the efficiency of mitigation and

enhancement measures, and suggests further actions needed to be taken to achieve the

desired effect.

3.2 Performance Indicators

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of EMP at project level, certain physical, biological

and social components identified. These component needs to be analyzed based on

project specific conditions and data generated. The key quality components include Air

quality, Water quality, Noise Levels around sensitive locations, Plantation / re-plantation

success / survival rate, Erosion indices, Restoration of quarries and borrow areas, Quality

of human health, Accident frequency.

3.3 Responsibilities for Monitoring

The responsibility for monitoring of implementation of EMP will rest with the Environmental

management Unit (EMU). Mitigation and enhancement measures adopted in final design

will be explicitly identified under the Bill of Quantity (BOQ) so that performance and

completion is readily documented.

The PWD will visually assess the progress of Environmental management unit and the

work of Contractors. If the level of impact is determined to be high, further monitoring will

be done by a recognised A category laboratory of the concerned State pollution control

Board (SPCB) and assessed for verification of the increased or decreased emission level

and pollutants along the project road. And if found more appropriate control measures

would exercised.



34/75


3.4 Routine Monitoring

During the construction and post construction phase, ambient air quality, water quality

(surface and Ground water), effluent if any released from construction site / camp) and

noise levels will be monitored as and when required depending upon the type, nature andduration of the project using standardised monitoring methodologies and laboratories

testing facilities / techniques.

Site Selection

Monitoring stations have been identified based on observation / site conditions such as

nature of construction, diversions, congestion, parking places, bus / taxi stands, number

and frequency of vehicles, sources of pollutants (industrial / commercial / residential),

environmental features and existence of sensitive / critical areas i.e. educationalinstitutions, hospitals, archaeological / cultural sites. The frequency and duration of

testing / sampling of air, water, noise levels and effluent quality within the ROW is to be

fixed as per allotted time frame of the project and requirements of SPCB / CPCB and

MoEF.

Methodology

Standard methodology as described in manuals, guidelines, etc. is to be followed as outlinedin Table below

have been identified in the following table: The air and noise quality monitoring will be

performed at some of the locations where baseline study will be carried out. Water quality

of the ground and surface water sources will be monitored.

Environmental Management cell (EMC) constituted by the contractor will be the prime

agency for monitoring all activities during both phases. PWD will supervise all activities

and accordingly advise the BOT contractor to control the environment of the areas where

the shortcomings are observed. The EMC will provide all monitoring results to PWD. PWD

will keep a record of all information and will suggest suitable measures to be adopted by

the contractor if any aspect found to be diverting from the anticipated values/standards.
