EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board in the wake of the tsunami disaster (that occurred on December 26 2004, TNSCB has envisaged a project to rehabilitate the tsunami affected people at the Marina and to provide standardized housing tenements for the aforementioned populace and those living in the existing dilapidated tenements through requisite demolition and construction works. The project area comprises the villages of Nochikuppam, Nochi Nagar, Dommingkuppam, Selvarajapuram, Foreshore Estate and Srinivasapuram. The projected affected households comprise both fisher folk and non-fisher folk.

The focus is on rehabilitation of Tsunami affected families and hence the in-situ resettlement has been taken up to ensure that the fishermen are resettled in the same area to constitute their livelihood to the extent possible.

The Government of Tamilnadu is responsible for the implementation of the ETRP-Housing policy to reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities through the TNSCB. The TNSCB intends to reconstruct tenements after demolition of existing dilapidated tenements. Implementation is envisaged in two phases, namely Phase – I which comprises of three areas namely Area-1 (Nochikuppam and Nochi Nagar), Area-2 (Dommingkuppam and Selvarajapuram), Area-3 (Foreshore Estate) and Phase–II (Srinivasapuram).

It is proposed to construct 5856 permanent shelters in four sites as detailed in the table below:

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

The Environmental and Social Assessment Report comprises the Environmental Management Plan and Resettlement Action and Implementation Plan (RAP/RIP) as per study ToR requirements. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and the budget for EMP has been prepared for both Phase-I and Phase-II. The RAP and RIP has been prepared in two volumes, for Phase-I and Phase-II. The main objective of this assessment is to ensure that the housing construction project from Nochikuppam to Srinivasapuram is sustainable in terms of environmental social, economical and human capitals. The assessment also provides project and activity specific management plans inorder to manage the impacts during and after the project construction.The methodology adopted for conducting the environmental and social impact assessment is by conducting baseline surveys and analysis of primary and secondary data, discussions with key stakeholders with regard to assessing the potential impacts and implication of the project from a socio-economic and environmental standpoint.

Based on the assessment,the resettlement implementation cost for Phase-I works out to Rs. 170.81 Crores and Phase – II works out to Rs.125.56 Crores. The Budget for Implementation of the Environmental Management Plan for the entire project (both Phases) is Rs. 28.8 Lakhs covering the construction and operation phase.

Environmental Impact AssessmentThe project site is situated at a distance of about 200 m from Bay of Bengal on the east separated by the Beach road. Residential, Institutional and Commercial structures are found on the western side of the project site. The Light House and Marina Beach are located towards the northern side. Adyar Creek is situated on the southern side of the project site.

Adyar creek is one of the sensitive environmental components spread over an area of 358 acres and the project site is located at a distance of 100 m from the creek. The discharge of sewage and disposal of debris from the project activities would cause adverse impacts to Adyar creek, if adequate mitigation measures as given in the EMP are not followed.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been carried out by conducting baseline assessment of the initial evaluation environmental components such as micrometeorology, air, water, and soil, noise quality. The existing condition of the project site was monitored for environmental quality following the MoEF norms. The monitoring program comprised of sampling locations stationed at 6 points in and around the project area. The testing was carried out following the BIS methods. The quality of environmental components was assessed based on the levels of parameters monitored and their comparison with the permissible limits as per the applicable norms. The results of environmental quality monitoring revealed that all the parameters were within the prescribed limits and this monitoring provided the basis for studying the impacts and providing suitable mitigation measures. This project envisages improvements to the existing living condition of communities in the project area. This project also envisages providing better sanitation facilities, safety shelters, workshops for carrying out minor repairs, vehicle parking facilities, recreational facilities and study centres etc.

Impact Identification and Analysis

Construction Phase ImpactsThe impact on air, water, soil and noise quality that may arise during the construction phase have been identified as:

Demolition of existing dilapidated structures Handling and Disposal of debris generated from demolition activity

ii


Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Transportation of construction materials to the site. Handling of Construction Materials Other Construction related Activities

The impacts on air and noise quality will be negligible with proper adherence of measures suggested in the EMP. Sewage and solid waste generated from the sanitation facilities proposed for the labourers during construction phase will cause adverse impact to the ground water and soil if the same is not handled properly.The project site is devoid of any endemic flora and fauna and does not harbour any species of ecological or economic importance and hence no adverse impacts are expected during the construction phase.

Operational Phase ImpactsThe adverse impact on water including on Adyar creek and on soil due to the discharge of sewage and during collection and disposal of garbage is anticipated, if the wastes are not handled and disposed properly. However, there will not be any adverse impacts on ambient air and noise, as the project does not include backup power through D.G.sets. The project implementation does not result to any increase in pollution load due to the expected decrease in population.

Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures for the identified impacts both during construction and operation phase on air, water, soil and noise quality are described below.

Air qualityDuring the construction phase, the project site should be provided with wind shields of adequate height along the boundary to abate the dust from spreading to neighbouring habitations. The workers should be provided with requisite environmental health and safety equipments such as face mask as per requirement. Trucks should be covered with tarpaulin to ensure the dust abatement during transportation. Building materials such as blue metal, sand, brick etc should be wetted before loading and unloading operations. Ready mixed concrete should be used for all large concreting in accordance with the applicable standards and norms. Internal roads should be wetted continuously to abate dust generation during vehicular movements.D.G.Sets provided during construction phase should be installed in an appropriate rated enclosure and located from the western boundary of the site with adequate height of stack to ensure that the exhaust gas does not drift towards permanent residential and common facilities. Trucks used for transportation should have periodic emission checks and take corrective action prior to use (if permissible limits are exceeded) to reduce the impact due to exhaust gas emissions. During operation phase, potential adverse impacts on ambient air is not expected since the project does not include backup power supply through D.G.sets. Further there is an expected decrease in the residing population upon project implementation, therefore an increase in traffic and additional adverse impact due to vehicular movements is not anticipated.

Noise QualityVehicular movements, some construction activities and D.G.Set operations are bound to increase the noise levels in the working area temporarily. In order to reduce the noise, vehicular movements will be staggered. Ready mixed concrete will be used for large volume concreting in accordance with the applicable standards and norms. Green cover should be proposed along the boundaries for noise abatement to the extent feasible. During the operation phase, there will not be any additional adverse impacts to ambient noise, as the project does not

iii

TamilNadu, India

include backup power through D.G.sets. Further there is an expected decrease in the residing population upon project implementation, therefore an increase in traffic and additional adverse impact on noise quality due to vehicular movements is not anticipated.

Water & Soil Quality

Sewage generated during construction phase from labour toilets and transit shelters should be discharged into the underground sewer with due clearance from the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB). Therefore, considerable adverse impact on water and soil quality is not expected. Water for the construction activity would be supplied through tanker lorries, and hence no impact is expected on ground water. Adequate number of dumper bins should be provided to collect and store the garbage and the garbage should be disposed through Corporation of Chennai on daily basis. Solid waste generated during construction phase such as building debris should be disposed with the consent of Corporation of Chennai for filling and raising of low lying areas. Reusable materials such as steel, wood etc should be disposed as per applicable norms.

Vehicular movement should be spread over a period of time during the construction phase and separate entry and exit should be maintained. Since the part of population will be relocated no addition in traffic volume is foreseen and hence there will not be any additional adverse impact on traffic.

Environmental Management Plan

The environmental management plan has been presented suggesting sustainable measures for the project activities. The EMP has also outlined the instruments for environmental enhancement such as rain water harvesting, green-belt development, energy conservation measures. The institutional and capacity building framework for the effective implementation of the EMP has been suggested. The implementation of the EMP should be carried out by the TNSCB through a project management consultancy as desired.

Social Impact Assessment

Social Impact Assessment for the project has been carried out for the families enumerated by the TNSCB by considering the data obtained from each family during base line survey through the questionnaires. The indicators used for assessment includes such as family particulars, education, employment, income, livelihood activities (primary and secondary occupation), assets, liabilities, expenditure on maintenance aspects, demographic characteristics, loses, etc. The TNSCB in consultation with the GoTN has categorised the families into five categories as mentioned in the following table based on the scores obtained.

Category I and IA SE and ME (Tenements & Huts) (with score > 6)

Category II and IIA SO and MOH ((Tenements and Huts with score > 6) (Score of 4&5)

1INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND1.1 The Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board in the wake of the tsunami disaster (that

occurred on December 26’ 2004, which damaged permanent structures and affected coastal habitations with a population of almost one million in the east coast of Tamil Nadu) has initiated a rehabilitation project to provide better infrastructure facilities for the Tsunami Affected Families living in the project area (Nochikuppam, Nochinagar, Dommingkuppam, Selvarajapuram, Foreshore estate and Srinivasapuram). The TNSCB has proposed to construct tenements with infrastructure in Marina after demolition of the existing dilapidated rental tenements located between Nochikuppam and Srinivasapuram in Chennai under the World Bank funded Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project (ETRP).The other beneficiaries in this project include the project affected families residing in the existing tenements in the project area.

1.2 The sites proposed for rehabilitation include Nochikuppam, Nochi Nagar, Dommingkuppam, Selvarajapuram, Foreshore Estate and Srinivasapuram with more than 11,000 tsunami-affected families residing in the tenements and huts. The affected families are both fisher folk and non-fisher folk.

1.3 Since there are no suitable sites for rehabilitation of fishermen, the in-situ resettlement has been selected to ensure that fishermen are resettled close to the sea to constitute their livelihood and this ETRP projects main focus is to rehabilitate the people living around Marina and further opening an opportunity for those living in the project affected area in dilapidated tenements to resettle in more secured houses. Against this background, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment has been carried out to examine the feasibility of the project and to prepare an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Resettlement Implementation Plan (RIP).

OBJECTIVES

1.4 The main objectives of this assessment is to improve decision making and ensure that the housing construction project from Nochikuppam to Srinivasapuram under consideration is environmentally and socially sustainable and prepare suitable and sound management plans to manage the unavoidable impacts. The main objective is to provide for the implementation of environmental and social management measures, which are required during and after the project construction.

1.5 The outputs of this assessment will also be used to obtain environmental clearances from the Government agencies (both at the State, Central and World Bank levels).

Detailed methodology explained in the Social impact assessment chapter.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT AREA

Project Master Plan

1.12 As specified earlier, this scheme is an initiative of the TNSCB to rehabilitate the public affected by tsunami living in huts and tenement in marina under the aegis of the Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project (ETRP) funded by The World Bank. The beneficiaries includes the people living in TNSCB tenements who are likely to be affected due to the project implementation as these tenements are need to be demolished to create space for the construction and also due to dilapidated conditions of the structure constructed during 1970 to 1975, The map of the project area is presented in Annexure-IV.

Modalities of Construction

1.13 This reconstruction plan is proposed to be taken up and completed within a period of two years. The new tenements are to be constructed by raising the basement level suitably and incorporating the latest technology with respect to earthquake and tsunami/ cyclone resistance. The proposed reconstruction plan shall include structural stability factors keeping in view the vulnerable location of the project site along the sea front. The site is under jurisdiction of Division No.6 of Corporation of Chennai. All settlements are situated along the coastal belt on Kamarajar Salai and Santhome High Road in the Eastern direction and spread over a distance of 2.05 km. The proposed layout comprising all project sites has been designed with an internal road network gaining access from the existing 18 meter wide road running north to south.

Project Site Location

1.14 The project site is located in Triplicane and Mylapore Taluk and is adjacent to the Santhome Church and Light House. The project site has an extent of 14.96 hectares and the existing tenements and huts are in a dilapidated condition due to tsunami. These structures are proposed to be demolished and reconstructed under this project. The project site is observed to be fairly level site and is suitable for construction.

It can be seen that almost the entire community surveyed prefers the project site in the case of transit relocation (temporary shelters) and the proposed site for reconstruction in the case of permanent shelters. The permanent shelter to be constructed by TNSCB 3272 units in Phase I areas and temporary shelter constructed will be 3636 Nos. for Phase I & Phase II areas and the beneficiaries identified is 2539 Nos. the remaining temporary shelters are to be provided to phase II area families. Around 1200 families have given the willingness to rental option to TNSCB.

CRZ Consideration

1.16 The Government of India by its notification issued in 1991 has declared that coastal stretches of bays, estuaries, backwaters, seas, and creeks etc which are influenced by tidal actions (on the landward side) up to 500-m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and the land between the low tide line (LTL) and the High Tide Line (HTL) are coastal regulation zones. The Guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India has categorized the coastal zone into 4 categories and the proposed site for construction comes under the purview of CRZ-II, i.e., areas within the municipal limits. As per Para 6(2)-CRZ –II (I); of the regulation, buildings shall be permitted only in the landward side of the existing road in the approved coastal zone management plan of the area or on the landward side of the existing authorized structures. Since the project site falls within the landward side of the existing road, it can be inferred that the CRZ –II regulations are satisfied subject to approval by pertinent authorities.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

NEED FOR EIA

2.1 Environmental Impact Assessment of the project site has been performed as per study ToR requirements and as per applicable guidelines referred in the ToR towards identification of environmental impacts during relevant stages of the study and consequential preparation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Prevailing Regulatory Framework for the Infrastructure Projects

A review of the Prevailing Regulatory Framework has been performed and its salient features are outlined below.

2.2 Regulatory Framework – Environment: In India, the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is the primary legal handle devised by the Government of India to enforce the environmental laws in the country. This vital act has undergone revisions based on various public participation hearings and the consultation process. The EIA notification 2006 is one of the current governing legal tools in the Country enforcing the environmental safeguard requirements. There are certain mandatory and prescriptive environmental laws/ regulation in vogue in the country, which are highlighted below:

2.3 Mandatory: Mandatory environmental laws applicable to the proposed Fund financed projects would be both pollution and natural resource related. Pollution laws in the last decade impose strict controls over industrial and municipal operations. Despite participation by States and other bodies, the Government of India (GoI) continues to have the final say on all matters concerning natural resources, even with policies such as the National Forest Policy of 1988, which invites local participation. Following are some of the mandatory environmental laws applicable:

Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 : This law seeks to control pollution of water and enhance the quality of water. Under this law, generally it is mandatory to obtain consent for discharge of effluents from State Pollution Control Board.

Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1981: This law addresses the prevention and control of air pollution. Consent of SPCB has to be obtained to be operated the facility in the air pollution control area.

Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977: This Act provides for levy and collection of a Cess by local authorities on water consumed by persons (ULB’s) or industries to augment resources for Pollution Control Boards.

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986: This law essentially links pollution and natural resource issues. It seeks to supplement existing laws on pollution control and also lays down standards for air quality and noise. The Govt in pursuance of its rule-making powers under the Act, has passed notifications regulating sifting of industry and operations.

A. Prescriptive: Constitutional Guarantees

a) Article 48-A of the Constitution: This directive principle states that the State shall endeavor to protect and improve the natural environment

b) Article 51-A of the Constitution: This fundamental duty states that it is the duty of every citizen to protect and improve the natural environment.

B. Environmental Rules

Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Regulations, 1991 (amended upto 2002)

2.8 Issued under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, coastal stretches have been defined as Coastal Regulation Zone and restrictions have been imposed on industries, operations and processes within the CRZ. For regulating development activities, the coastal stretches within 500 metres of High Tide Line on the landward side are classified into four categories, namely:

CRZ-I: (i) Areas that are ecologically sensitive and important, such as national parks/marine parks, sanctuaries, reserve forests, wildlife habitats, mangroves, corals/coral reefs, areas close to breeding and spawning grounds of fish and other marine life, areas of outstanding natural beauty/historically/heritage areas, areas rich in genetic diversity, areas likely to be inundated due to rise in sea level consequent upon global warming and such other areas, and (ii) Area between Low Tide Line and the high Tide Line.

CRZ-II: The areas that have already been developed upto or close to the shoreline. For this purpose, "developed area" is referred to as that area within the municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas which are already substantially built up and which have been provided with drainage and approach roads and other infrastructural facilities, such as water supply and sewerage mains.

CRZ-III: Areas that are relatively undisturbed and those which do not belong to either CRZ-I or CRZ-II. These will include coastal zone in the rural areas (developed and undeveloped) and also areas within Municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas which are not substantially built up.

STATE- LEVEL LEGISLATION – TAMILNADU

Tamilnadu Groundwater (Development and Management) Bill, 2000

2.9 This bill is to protect groundwater resources, to provide safeguards against hazards of its over-exploitation and to ensure its planned development and management in the state of Tamilnadu and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The bill shall empower government through the Tamilnadu Groundwater Authority to develop, control, regulate and administer the groundwater in the state by ensuring its optimal and efficient utilization. This also provides for conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. This bill provides for registration of new users of wells and also prohibition of sinking wells in notified areas without permit. It shall empower the authority to penalize the activities not in accordance with the act regarded as offences.


2.10 TN Groundwater Authority regulates the abstraction of groundwater. Line department / contractor should obtain clearances / permissions, if required, from this Authority prior to any abstraction of groundwater.

CMDA Development Regulations

2.11 CMDA Development Regulations is set with an objective to provide for planning the development and use of urban land in Chennai Metropolitan Development Area. The regulation provides guidelines for the preparation and implementation of Master Plans. The regulation ensures implementation through various developmental controls and policies that would be incorporated in the spatial plans. These plans form the basis for land use regulations within the planned area.


2.12 All housing projects should be in compliance with the respective and existing development plans. Clearances / permissions should be taken from the CMDA prior to the construction of these housing projects. CMDA Regulations shall apply including the norms related to Floor Space Index (FSI) and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Re-construction of the authorized buildings to be permitted subject to the existing FSI/FAR norms and without change in the existing use.

Synopsis of Select World Bank Safeguard Policies

2.13 This ESMF has been developed to support a due diligence process, to avoid causing harm or exacerbating social tensions, and to ensure consistent treatment of social and environmental issues across sectors of intervention. The ESMF should assist the Project Implementing Agencies in screening all the subprojects for social and environmental issues and/or impacts, in accordance with applicable laws regulations and the Bank’s safeguard policies, as summarized below.

2.14 OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment - Most of the proposed subprojects are likely to focus on the repair, rehabilitation, reconstruction and upgrading (where necessary) of damaged houses, buildings, roads, railways, bridges and infrastructure of critical importance. This would include, but not be limited to, power generation and distribution, agricultural infrastructure, irrigation and drainage networks, water supply and distribution networks, sanitation facilities and rehabilitation of primary and secondary schools. Support will also be provided for mitigation measures related to reversing the adverse impacts of the tsunami on coastal eco systems and reef system.

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

2.15 Considering the nature and magnitude of potential environmental impacts from relatively limited scale and magnitude of reconstruction works, the proposed operations are likely to be classified as category ‘B’. The requirement to carry out an Environmental Analysis as part of project preparation can be waived but, for subprojects with potential adverse impacts, a limited Environmental Analysis will be done during project implementation. At the same time, prior to appraisal the implementing agency will agree to apply the following minimum standards during implementation: inclusion of standard environmental codes of practice (ECoP) in the repair and reconstruction bid documents of all subprojects; review and oversight of any major reconstruction works by specialists; implementation of environmentally and socially sound options for disposal of debris; and provisions for adequate budget and satisfactory institutional arrangements for monitoring effective implementation.

2.16 OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement - The need for involuntary resettlement or land acquisition in specific subproject areas will only be known during project implementation, when site-specific plans are available. Therefore subprojects will be screened for applicability of the resettlement policy. In view of the emergency nature of the operations, IDA will, in applicable instances, require a draft resettlement plan for sub-projects prior to approval of corresponding sub-project. The approval of the resettlement plan is subject to approval by the IDA. Several issues will increase the complexity of land acquisition - the loss or destruction of ownership documents during the tsunami, the disappearance of physical markers of land boundaries and the huge death toll resulting in numerous inheritance issues involving vulnerable persons like widows and orphans. The safeguards framework will therefore include procedures for identifying eligible project-affected people, calculating and delivering compensation, mechanisms for land dispute grievance redress, and for protection of inheritance right of vulnerable groups.

2.17 OD 4.20 Indigenous Peoples - In the Indian context, the application of OD 4.20 is equated with the impacts to tribal population. It is unlikely that there are any tribal population in the disaster affected areas (13 costal districts of Tamilnadu) living in the disaster affected villages. However, the issue of ethnic and religious affiliation is a larger factor in considering the vulnerability. In light of the above situation, a potential vulnerability assessment of all affected groups is planned to ensure effective consultations and culturally appropriate benefits for each group, instead of focusing only on groups defined as “indigenous peoples”. As part of this analysis, subproject preparation will assess the vulnerability of different ethnic groups in particular project contexts (in terms of potential exclusion from project benefits, negative project impacts, and the need for specific culturally compatible mechanisms for participation), and will incorporate adequate measures to address such vulnerability in project design.

2.18 OP 11.03 Cultural Properties - The emergency operation may pose limited risks of damaging cultural property, assuming that they will not include large-scale excavations, movement of earth or demolition. Furthermore, projects and subprojects will be reviewed for their potential impact on cultural property and clear procedures will be required for identification, protection of cultural property from theft, and treatment of discovered artefacts, and will be included in standard bidding documents. While not damaging cultural property, subproject preparation may later identify and include assistance for preservation of historic or archaeological sites. If these opportunities occur, cultural property management plans would be prepared for those subprojects.

2.19 OP 4.04 Natural Habitats - The reconstruction of housing is likely to require a large amount of land. The Project will not support sub-projects that involve conversion of critical natural habitats such as in Forest Reserves, Wildlife Reserves, National Parks

BASELINE PARAMETERS SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES

Micrometeorology

2.49 As a part of this study, meteorology parameters were recorded by installing Weather monitoring station in Srinivasapuram to collect data on wind velocity; wind direction, ambient temperature and relative humidity were recorded along with rainfall data throughout the monitoring period. Wind velocity and wind direction were recorded using cup anemometer and wind vane respectively. Ambient temperature was noted by wet and dry bulb thermometer. Relative humidity was measured by using hygrometer. An Aneroid barometer was used for measuring atmospheric pressure and a self-recording rain gauge was used for rainfall data collection. Cloud cover data was collected by visual inspection.

Ambient Air Quality

2.50 The parameters chosen for air quality study are Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Lead (Pb).

RPM, SPM & LEAD Calibrated Respirable Dust Sampler is used with Whatman GF/A micro fibre filter paper for the determination of RPM. RPM is a measure of particulate matter having size less than 10 microns. The dust particles having size greater than 10 microns are being collected in the cyclone and measured. This along with RPM value gives TSPM. The lead content in the TSPM is measured by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after digesting the suspended materials in concentrated acid.

SO 2 : MODIFIED WEST-GAEKE SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD Sulphur dioxide is collected in a scrubbing solution of sodium tetrachloro-mercurate and is allowed to react with HCHO and then with para-rosaniline hydrochloride. The absorbance of the product red-violet dye is measured using digital spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 560 nm (IS: 5182 Part II, 1969).

NO X : JACOB AND HOCHEISER MODIFIED METHOD Nitrogen oxides as nitrogen dioxide are collected by bubbling air through sodium hydroxide solution to form a stable solution of sodium nitrite. The nitrite ion produced during sampling is determined using digital spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 540mm by reacted the exposed absorbing reagent with phosphoric acid, sulfanilamide and N (1-naphthyl) ethylamine dihydrochloride (IS: 5182 Part IV, 1975).

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Air samples were collected in bladders by using pulse pumps and analyzed through Gas Chromatography for CO and reported in ppm.

NOISE LEVELS

2.51 Ambient Noise level measurements in four Co-ordinal directions are carried out using Data logging integrated sound level meter (Cygnet 2001) with windscreen during daytime and night time. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements are taken at all locations, 1 minute per hour for 24 hours. The daytime noise levels are monitored during 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and night time noise levels during 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. For Noise levels measured over a given period of time interval, it is possible to describe important features of noise using statistical quantities. This is calculated using the percent of the time certain noise levels are exceeded during the time interval. The Leq is the equivalent continuous sound level, which is equivalent to the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound measured in the same period. This is necessary because sound from noise source often fluctuates widely during a given period of time.

Leq is calculated by the following formula:

(L10 - L90)2

Leq (hrly) = L50 + ----------------- 60

L10 is the noise level exceeded 10 percent of the time;L50 is the noise level exceeded 50 percent of the time; and L90 is the noise level exceeded 90 percent of the time.

Water Quality

2.52 Water samples from various sources () were collected and analyzed as per procedures outlined in IS -10500/BIS/APHA. Sterilized bottles were used for collection of water sample for bacteriological analysis, stored in icebox and transported to the laboratory for the analysis. Parameters like pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, other physicochemical parameters, Heavy metals and other parameters like phenolics, pesticides were analyzed our Laboratory as per standard methods.

Marine Water Quality

2.53 Keeping in view of water-spread area, marine water quality monitoring stations were identified to ascertain the present status of marine water quality. Marine water samples were collected at the surface (at 0.30 M) analyzed for physico – chemical, bacteriological parameters as per standard procedures.

Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures

Positive Impacts of the project

2.96 This housing reconstruction project would improve the existing living condition of the communities living in the project area; enhance their livelihood by bringing in more employment opportunities. (i.e. engaging the people in better jobs through many training programs by way of capacity building initiatives envisaged as a major component). This reconstruction project also envisages providing better sanitation facilities, safety shelters, workshops for carrying out minor repairs, vehicle parking facilities, recreational facilities and study centres etc.

The water quality of Adyar Creek is presently polluted due to uncontrolled discharge of sewage from point sources and indiscriminate dumping of garbage. As the Marina Housing Project envisages organized collection, transportation and disposal of garbage through Corporation of Chennai and disposal of sewage through the internal network of UGS and finally to the UGS of CMWSSB, there is every likelihood of improvements in the water quality of Adyar Creek and enhancing the ecological quality of the Adyar Creek.

Impact Analysis: The impact analysis has been carried out covering the construction and operation phase activities.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

2.97 Impact on Vegetation: This is a reconstruction project by demolishing the existing structures and some common structures. The project sites are devoid of any valuable vegetation and hence no impact on vegetation is envisaged.

Impact on Air Quality

The impact on air quality during the construction phase would be mainly due to: Demolition of existing structures Handling and Disposal of debris Transportation of construction materials Handling of Construction Materials

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Construction Activities

Demolition of existing structures2.98 There are existing damaged tenements and some common structures in the

project site, which shall be removed to make the site ready for construction activities. During this process, large volumes of building demolition debris, steel material, pipes and fittings will generated. Demolition will be semi mechanical using heavy machinery and drilling machines. Considerable amount of dust in the form of particulate matter will be generated during the demolition activity.

Handling &Disposal of debris

2.99 Demolition debris and other materials are to be removed from the site. Reusable materials such as steel, wood, pipes etc will be disposed through recyclers. During handling and loading in to trucks considerable amount of dust will generate causing adverse impact to the ambient air and as well as to neighbouring communities. Unusable debris shall be disposed in low lying areas with the consent of Chennai Corporation.Transportation of construction materials

The construction activities requires transportation of the following raw materials to the project site on continuous basis

Cement, Blue metal, Sand, Bricks, roof tiles etc Steel Wood, Pipes &fittings etc

2.100 These materials will be transported through Lorries. During transportation of materials such as cement, blue metals, sand and brick, dust generation would impact ambient air thereby increasing the pollution load resulting in annoyance to the community. In addition to this exhaust emissions from transport vehicles will add to the air pollution load in the project area.

Handling of construction materials

2.101 During the unloading of materials such as cement, blue metal, brick and sand some particulate matter in the form of dust likely to be generated. Emissions from the vehicular movement would also have an adverse impact on air quality.

Impact on Noise, Water and Soil Quality

2.102 Vehicular movement, unloading of construction materials would generate noise pollution. However, there will not be permanent undesirable impacts on the workers and the community. Adverse impact on water and soil is not envisaged during transportation of the materials.

Construction Activities2.103 Construction activity comprises of formation of internal roads, laying of water

supply &sewerage lines, mixing of concrete, fabrication of doors and windows. These activities will cause adverse impact to the ambient air and neighbouring areas.

Impact on Noise

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

2.104 Vehicular movement, unloading of construction materials, concrete mixing erection of pipes &fittings will likely to generate noise pollution. Adverse impact on water and soil is not envisaged during transportation of the materials.Impact on Water and Soil Quality

2.105 Sewage and solid waste generated from the sanitation facilities proposed for the labourers, during construction phase will cause adverse impact to the ground water and soil if the same is not handled properly.

Impacts on Sensitive Environmental Components2.106 Adyar creek is one of the sensitive environmental components spread over an

area of 358 acres. The Adyar Creek is about 100 m from Phase-II Srinivasapuram area of the project. The discharge of sewage and disposal of debris from the project activities would cause adverse impacts to Adyar creek, if adequate mitigation measures as given in the EMP are not followed.

2.107 Thereby the construction activities at the project site are likely to cause adverse impacts on the surrounding air quality because of the dust generation during construction and related activities on the whole, only if adequate mitigation measures are not in place.

2.108 Apart from dust generation, the other negative impact during construction is the traffic related impacts that could be foreseen due to movement of transportation vehicles to and from the project site. The negative impacts are traffic congestion, vehicular emissions and related air pollution impacts etc.

2.109 Such negative impacts would not arise with this phase-II Srinivasapuram area due to the adequate mitigation measures envisaged as a part of the EMP as in staggered movement of vehicles, regular emission checks for transportation vehicles, restricted vehicular movement with specific timings for the vehicle entering into and moving out of the project site, implementation of environmental monitoring plan as per the EMP on a regular basis with the stations for monitoring placed in and around the project site would help the implementing agency in the estimating the budget for the implementation of environmental management of the project area making the project and its activities sustainable.

Operational Phase 2.110 The adverse impact on water or soil due to the discharge of sewage and during

collection and disposal of garbage is anticipated, if the wastes are not handled properly. However, there will not be any adverse impacts to ambient air and noise, as the project does not include backup power through D.G.sets. The total population in the operation phase is likely to be reduced and therefore no additional adverse impact is anticipated.

Mitigation Measures - Construction phase & Operation phase

Air quality

Construction Phase

2.111 The project site will be provided with wind shields of adequate height along the boundary to abate dust from spreading to neighbouring habitations. The workers would be provided with face mask. Trucks will be covered with tarpaulin so as to abate the dust leaving the truck during transportation. Building materials such as blue metals sand, brick etc will be wetted before loading and unloading

operations. Ready mixed concrete will be used for all large concreting in accordance with guidelines. Internal roads will be wetted continuously to abate the dust generation during vehicular movements. D.G. Sets provided during construction phase will be installed in a closed room with adequate height of stack. Trucks used for transportations will be subject to emission check before engaging the vehicles to reduce the impact due to the exhaust gas emissions.

Operation Phase

2.112 However, there will not be any adverse impacts to ambient air, as the project does not include backup power through D.G.sets. The total population in the operation phase is likely to be reduced and therefore no additional adverse impact is anticipated due to vehicular movements.

Noise Quality

Construction Phase

2.113 Vehicular movements, some construction activities and D.G.Set operations are bound to increase the noise levels in the working area. In order to reduce the noise, vehicular movements will be staggered. Ready mixed concrete will be used for large volume concreting. Greenery will be proposed along the boundaries for noise abatement to the extent feasible.

Operation Phase

2.114 However, there will not be any adverse impacts to ambient noise, as the project does not include backup power through D.G.sets. The total population in the operation phase is likely to be reduced and therefore no additional adverse impact is anticipated due to vehicular movements.

Water& Soil Quality

Construction Phase

2.115 Sewage generated during construction phase from labour toilets and transit site facilities will be treated through septic tanks and disposed through soak pits, hence there will not be any considerable adverse impact on water and soil as the activities are temporary. Water for the construction activity would be supplied through tankers and as no ground water is proposed to be utilized, no adverse impact is envisaged on ground water. Adequate number of dumper bins will be provided to collect and store the garbage and garbage will be disposed through Chennai Corporation on daily basis. Solid waste generated during construction phase such as building debris will be disposed for raising low lying areas with the consent of Chennai Corporation. Reusable materials such as steel, wood etc will be disposed commercially. As there will not be any large volume of excavations and disposable liquid or solid waste no adverse impact are envisaged on ground water and soil.

Surrounding Environmental Quality – Sensitive Environmental Components2.116 Adequate wind-shields have been proposed to suppress the dust generated

during the project activities and thereby the dust generated will be suppressed within the project area, debris generated hence will not have any adverse impact on the Adyar Creek and its environment.

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Operation Phase

2.117 Sanitation facilities for permanent shelters will be connected to the corporation sewer. Water requirement during operation phase will be met from CMWSSB. Garbage from permanent shelters will be collected by providing dumper bins at requisite locations and capacity and will be cleared on daily basis engaging the services of the Corporation of Chennai. Hence, adverse impact on water and soil due to the disposal of sewage and garbage is not expected.

Surrounding Environmental Quality – Sensitive Environmental Components

The migratory season of the special birds and amphibians have been found to be between December to February (Winter) and April to June (Summer), therefore the construction of blocks close to the Adyar Creek may be taken up during July to November (after the onset of migration season and completed before the forthcoming season) in order to abate adverse impacts on the migratory and amphibians. During demolition of existing structures, the temporary storage of debris etc. on the boundary of the creek shall be avoided.Installation of sanitary facilities during the construction phase and allotment of space for the shops during the operation phase shall not be provided.

Traffic related Activities

Construction Phase

2.118 Vehicle movement will be staggered during construction phase and separate entry and exit will be maintained.

Operation Phase

As this proposed project would not result to addition in traffic volume, since the part of population will be relocated and hence there will not be any adverse impact on traffic.

PROJECT SPECIFIC POLICY FRAMEWORK

Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project Framework (ETRP)

3.5 Keeping the provisions of various acts and policies, the R&R policy framework for ETRP has been evolved to propose suitable mitigation measures for the likely impacts. A Government Order was issued by the Government of Tamilnadu vide Revenue Department G.O. Ms No.774 date 27.12.2007 signifying the notification of the policy framework for effecting to the project. The tenants who are living at present are entitled for the new tenements and the owners are eligible for compensation of super-structure only, in case where the tenants live in structures other than the tenements and if the tenants are in the tenements, the original allottees who have leased out the tenements (without proper authority) will be compensated for the payments, if any, they have made to Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board. The occupants as on the date of survey alone will be eligible as beneficiaries for tenements under the reconstruction programme. Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board has worked out a compensation formula for the encroached structures built on the area, based on the norms already followed for sub-projects under the Tamilnadu Road Sector Project. For the proper identification of beneficiaries, the Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board has been directed to follow a foolproof method i.e. the use of bio-metric identification. A rental allowance of Rs.1000/- would be paid for a period of about 21 months during construction period to those who opt to stay in rented houses by themselves. For shifting, a lump-sum shifting allowance of Rs.1000 for each time (two time) totaling Rs. 2,000/- would be paid to each beneficiary.

BASE LINE SOCIO ECONOMIC SURVEY

3.6 Base Line Survey (BLS) for tenement and non-tenement household in the project affected areas was originally intended to cover the following project affected list provided by TNSCB.

Households included in the tenement list of 2862 (lived in the existing tenements affected by Tsunami)

Households included in Collector’s list of 4101 (prepared and approved by District Collector, Chennai)

In-order to plan for the baseline survey, extensive field visits were carried out by the study team along with the members from the TNSCB. Based on the observations during the field visits, further discussions were held with the senior officials of the TNSCB. During the discussions, the issues likely to arise during survey were put forth to the TNSCB. With the above discussions, to remove apprehensions against the GoTN regarding resettlement and in-situ development and to instil confidence in the minds of the Tsunami Affected Families, a sensitization with the Group Leaders of the respective villages were called for in the presence of the District Collectorate, Managing Director, TNSCB and other para-statal agencies including the officials of the World Bank.

3.7 A Pilot survey was conducted with a model questionnaire and a team of investigators for the sample of 50 households to understand the variables on social and economic characteristics. During the survey, the survey team was prevented by the local community with demands that all the households living in the project area shall be covered. This was placed before the TNSCB and TNSCB in consultation with the communities enlarged the scope of the survey considering their demands. A copy of the survey questionnaire approved by the TNSCB and World Bank is given in Annexure – X.

3.8 Based on the pilot survey, a draft questionnaire was prepared enumerating all variables on social and economic characteristics and submitted to the TNSCB for approval. On receipt of the approved questionnaire from TNSCB and World Bank, the Consultant formed multiple survey teams comprising two members per team with two experts for supervision and the base line survey was commenced on June 25th, 2007.

3.9 Base line survey also included the enumeration of commercial establishments such as shops, common properties and neighbourhood colonies. The survey was interrupted many times apprehending that the State Government would evict them from the project area and the survey was completed on September 2008. The survey was carried out by following the Census Survey Methodology.

The main aspect of the survey was to record and verify the period of stay in the project area, ownership of structure and mapping of structures. During the BLS, public consultations were carried out to ascertain the requirements for both the transit and permanent shelters.

3.10 During the survey, 5046 families were identified and surveyed in the phase-I area which covered 1180 families in collectors list, 1489 from tenement list and 2377 families not in both list but appear to have been residing in the project area. 1726 families found in the Collector’s list were not found residing in the project area during the period of survey. 300 families enumerated during the survey were found to be duplication of entries.

survey covering all the families was started in June 2007 and completed in September 2008. A roster of field related issues on site are outlined below:

Prior to the survey, necessary sensitization and consultations were held by the Consultants and TNSCB with concerned entities at the project area.

It was observed that certain sections of the community and their representatives were continually raising objections and concerns during the survey progress between 31.07.07 and 03.08.07. However, on 03.8.07, the survey was totally interrupted by the Group Leaders.

This issues were discussed by the Consultants with the Chief Engineer and Superintending Engineer of TNSCB, in addition to updating the officials on a daily basis, to enable resumption of the surveys.

TNSCB further directed the concerned officials to visit the project site on 03.08.07 to meet the Community leaders and discuss their concerns and objections. The outcome of the discussion was that the Community Leaders demanded the following assurances from the District Collector.

1. Government shall provide allotment to each family irrespective of tenements or encroachment in the same area.

2. Temporary shelters shall also be provided in the same area.3. Survey shall be allowed to continue only on receipt of firm assurance

from the concerned authority.4. It was observed that there was more than one family entity within a

single household provided with ration card. Therefore, it was demanded that each family shall be included in the present survey for the purpose of allotment.

Some sections of the Community have specified that the model that has been displayed by TNSCB at their Corporate Office and that which has been visited by the prospective beneficiaries is not satisfactory and that the type design requires to be modified. This was one of the issues cited during the discussion.

During the verification process TNSCB has used the following documents for evaluation.

(1) For tenements -

(a) Allotment list (TNSCB’s allottees / Legal heirs)(b) Details of survey carried out by CCI (Social Consultant for the project)

in 2007/08(c) Electoral rolls for 2004(d) Ration card details – ‘A’(e) Photographs and Survey details of the field verification conducted by

TNSCB.

TNSCB.(f) Topographic sketch of the area.(g) Satellite imaging of the area.

During the field verification the following procedures has been followed by the TNSCB.

(i) All the structures in the field were numbered.(ii) Topographic sketches were prepared showing the structure numbers and

locations of the various structures / tenements on ground.(iii) During the “photographic field verification”, the photographs of all the

claimants have been taken in front of their structures (To avoid clashes and other law and order problems, all those who staked a claim or who claimed to be residing in a particular property were photographed even where it was patently obvious that the claim was fraudulent. Such cases were carefully coded and removed from the list later by the TNSCB).

(iv) Some structures / tenements were claimed by single families while some were claimed by many. Where the single structure was claimed by a single family, the same was termed as “single claimant” and where it was claimed by many families they were termed as “multiple claimants”.

(v) All the structures were listed out in serial order with the names of the claimants along side so that every structure was correlated to one or more claimants. This was done to ensure that ineligible and other floating population did not get themselves included in the list.

(vi) For each of the claimants, the documents submitting by them during the field verification as well as collected from various sources was tabulated which included the following:(a) In case of tenements, whether they were allottees / legal heir or

unauthorized purchasers.(b) In case of huts, whether they were covered by the CCI Survey and

included in the CCI’s list.

(d) Documentary proof was verified for presence as on 01.01.2005 using the Ration card / Civil Supplies Department’s ‘A’ Register of the area for 2004 and the Electoral rolls for 2004.

METHODOLOGY ADOPTED & CATEGORIZATION

3.16 Based on the above field verification and documentation further evaluation to arrive the status of each household has been carried out. For the evaluation the Steering Committee of the GoTN adopted the following policy to decide the eligibility.

(i) For every structure – one house(ii) For every family – not more than one house (No houses to individual claimants)(iii) The family should have been residing in the area on or before 01.01.2005. (iv) Beneficiaries should continue to be current residents in the area.

SCORING MATRICES

3.17 Based on availability or non-availability of information and / or based on positive or negative response to the above a scoring matrix was evolved. A ‘Y’ was used for a positive response and an ‘N’ for a negative response. The case which secured all ‘Y’s was deemed the most eligible and the case which secured all ‘N’s was deemed the least ineligible. In between there are several categories of eligibilities based on how many ‘Y’s or ‘N’s were scored by different categories. These scoring matrices are summarized in table 1 to 4 annexed to this note. The 4 tables refer to the different possibilities based on combinations of values (Y and N) taken by the four different variables mentioned above.

WEIGHTAGE ASSIGNMENT TABLES

After completing the above, the eligibility was decided on the following basis.

(i) In the case of tenements, a system of weightage for various criteria was evolved as follows:

Table 3.5: Weightage Assignment Table (Tenements)Sl. No Category Weightage

Y N1 Allottees / Legal heirs 3 02 Covered in CCI list 1 03 Documentary proof for presence on 01.01.2005 3 04 Photographic field verification 2 0

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

3.18 Based on these weights, total points scored by various claimants were calculated. The total points scored for all possible combinations are summarized in Tables 1 to 4. Based on these different types of claimants were determined. Single claimants who received total points above ‘6’ were taken as eligible (“SE” type).

It was found that even among the single claimants there were some who did not even receive a score of 6. Those who received a score of 4, 5 were bracketed as ‘SO’ and those who received lesser scores as Not eligible (SN). So also the highest scoring claimant among the multiple claimants (i.e., who secure the maximum points) was included in the eligibility list if he had a score greater than 6. The rest were treated as other multiple claimants (MO) / not eligible multiple claimants (MN).

For this purpose, the following codes have been assigned to differentiate the claimants based on eligibility.

Table 3.7: Claimant Type CodeSingle claimants eligible SESingle claimants others SOSingle claimants (ineligible) SNMultiple claimants (most eligible) MEMultiple claimants others MOMultiple claimants (not eligible) MN

(ii) Eligibility Determining Grid

As can be inferred the more the number of points greater the eligibility. To decide the categories the following table has been used:

Score Single claimant Multiple claimantsHighest scorer Other than Highest scores

Greater or equal to 6 (i.e., 6, 7, 8, 9) SE ME MO

4, 5 SO MO MN0, 1, 2, 3 SN MN MN

(iii) Allotment Points Table

Pursuant to evaluation and analysis, the order of preference or priority in allotment has been arrived by TNSCB and is indicated below.

Category I and IA SE and ME (Tenements & Huts) (with score > 6)

Category II and IIA SO and MOH ((Tenements and Huts with score > 6) (Score of 4&5)

Category III and IIIA SN and MNH (Tenements and Huts) (Score of 0,1,2,&3)Category IV and IVA MO(Tenement) MO (Huts) (Score of 6,7,8&9))

Category V and V A MN (Tenement) MN (Huts) ( Score of 0,1,2,3,4,5)

(iv) Other General Conditions

(a) Where there was a tie between multiple claimants, the highest scorer will get status of ME, MO, MN based on the above norms and also based on lots or further documentation. The others will receive the appropriate lower eligibility code. Where more than one claimant has used the same document to support their claim, only one claimant was given points. The others were assigned ‘zero’ point.

TRANSIT RELOCATION SITE SELECTION

4.11 TNSCB has identified 5 sites for Transit accommodation for the beneficiaries during construction of tenements. All the sites are located within the project area and visited by the study team. Except site 3 all the remaining sites are vacant lands without any structures. While in site 3 the administrative site office of M/s. Gammon India is functioning which will be likely to be removed before the construction activities are started.

All the transit sites will be provided with proper access by way of BT roads. Water supply is proposed to be extended from the existing water supply lines to the transit sites. The transit sites will be provided with common water supply and sanitation facilities including community bins for the handling of garbage in consultation with Corporation of Chennai.

STAKE HOLDER’S VIEWS

4.12 In order to ascertain the perception of the stakeholders, consultations have been held with the host community and residents of Nochi Nagar as a sample case by way of focus group discussions. To initiate the discussion, salient features of the proposed transit site were described and the views of the participants with regard to the impact of the project were invited. Specifically, the residents were consulted to ascertain their levels of satisfaction in staying at the proposed transit location. Accessibility, infrastructure availability, employment opportunities, availability of socio-cultural amenities were the factors considered to determine the satisfaction level of the residents. Upon completion of this preliminary assessment, residents were questioned on the specific problems faced in the locality, which could serve as pointers to avoid similar issues in the new residential layout. The residents were also questioned about what they envisaged as serious concerns that may arise during construction and the likely impact on the host community. The Requirements and issues raised by the Host population are given below:

Temporary shelters to be located in Nochinagar would be convenient for livelihood

Adequate Water Supply should be provided Existing public toilets will not be sufficient for the transit population. Hence

adequate number of new toilets should be constructed. The transit sites should be free from water logging. Health Centres with Medical Supervisor should be provided in the transit sites. Dwelling units in the transit sites should be provided with adequate storage

space. Continuous power supply and street lighting to be provided.


Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Proper drainage facilities should be provided

Adequate storm water drain facilities to be provided to prevent water logging

Noise and vehicular pollution during construction phase is to be controlled

Provision of adequate internal roads and connectivity to main roads to be ensured

The beneficiaries expressed their willingness to remain in the same site during the transit period.

CONSULTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS

Consultation process is proposed to be carried out in two stages:

1. Public Consultation Meetings2. Focus Group Discussions

Public Consultation

4.13 Consultations with the community and various stakeholders including the Government and NGOs forms an integral part of project preparation. The consultation will serve to incorporate the felt need of the community in preventive, planning and mitigation measures at the transit site. The observations made during the consultations would serve as useful pointers to the Project Implementation Unit in designing the layout, provision of basic facilities such as road network, health services and other mitigation measures such as water logging, rain water harvesting and solid waste management. The issues raised during the consultations would be incorporated into the resettlement implementation plan for the sub-projects such as transit relocation plan. The consultations have also assisted the community in obtaining clarifications on the transit sites, facilities available, duration and assistance during the transit relocation period.

Focus Group Discussions4.14 Focus group discussions with the community regarding the transit sites were held in

Nochikuppam, Nochi nagar, Dommingkuppam, Selvarajapuram and Foreshore Estate on 18th September, 2007.The discussion highlighted the following views and demand of the community:

The temporary shelters should be constructed in a convenient place for suitable fishing activities near to the present location.

IMPACT ANALYSIS & MITIGATION MEASURES

Pre Construction Phase

4.24 TNSCB will ensure adequate precautions through EMP to prevent any adverse impact to the surroundings while preparing the site for construction. All the sides of the site will be provided with windshields/compound walls. TNSCB should obtain from CMWSSB for getting temporary water supply & sewerage connections. Encumbrances such as huts and structures if any identified with in the Project site or affecting the project work will be removed and advance notice will be served to the owners for clearing it. In case of sites owned by other agencies, the necessary permission from the concerned department to use the transit site will be obtained before the TRP construction.

Construction Phase

Impact on Vegetation: All transit sites are devoid of vegetation and hence no impact on vegetation is envisaged.

Impact on Air Quality: The impact on air quality during the construction phase is mainly due to:

1. Transportation of construction materials2. Loading/unloading of Construction Materials3. Construction Activities


Final Report

TamilNadu, India

Transportation: Construction of temporary shelters requires transportation of following raw material:

1. Cement2. Blue metal3. Sand4. Tiles etc.

4.25 These materials are proposed to be transported through trucks covered with tarpaulin or equivalent sheeting to mitigate any adverse impact during transportation. However during unloading of materials such as cement, blue metal and sand, some particulate matter in the form of dust is likely to be generated. Emissions from vehicular movement would also have an adverse impact on air quality. In order to minimize air pollution, blue metal and sand would be wetted before unloading to abate generation of dust. Cement would be unloaded and stocked in the store room. Vehicular movement would be staggered and road surface shall be watered regularly to minimize dust generation.

4.26 Impact on Noise, Water and Soil Quality: Activities such as vehicular movement, unloading of metal, sand etc., are likely to generate noise pollution. In order to reduce noise pollution, vehicular movement is proposed to be staggered in order to minimize the adverse impact on ambient noise level. Adverse impact on water and soil is not envisaged during transportation of materials.

4.27 Construction Activity: Construction activity comprises formation of internal roads, infrastructure provision such as laying of water supply lines etc., and construction of the main structure.

4.28 Impact on Air Quality and Noise Level: Generation of dust during concrete mixing, earthwork excavation for laying of pipelines, foundation of main structures, installation of street lights and laying internal roads is anticipated. Handling of construction materials and concrete mixing are likely to generate greater noise.

4.29 Mitigation Measures: The site is proposed to be provided with wind shields of adequate height along the boundary to abate dust from spreading to neighbouring habitations. The workers would be provided with face mask and other necessary occupational health and safety equipment. These wind shields would act as a barrier for increase in noise levels.

4.30 Impact on Soil: The construction activity is likely to generate construction waste in terms of excavated excess earth, broken tiles, rejected materials and solid waste generated by the construction workers.

4.31 Mitigation Measures: Materials such as excess earth and broken tiles are proposed to be used during the construction of road to reduce the impact on the soil. Rejected construction materials are to be suitably disposed for further re-use. Solid waste is to be collected by providing bins and Corporation of Chennai shall handle disposal of the solid waste. These efforts would ensure that there are no negative impacts on the soil.

4.32 Impact on Water Quality: Water for the construction activity would be supplied through tankers since ground water is not proposed to be utilized/ abstracted. The possibility of adverse impact on water quality therefore does not arise. However, proper disposal of sewage generated by the construction workers need to be ensured.

-68-


Final Report

TamilNadu, India

4.33 Mitigation Measures: Adequate toilets would be provided and the waste generated would be collected in the existing sewage sump and pumped/ conveyed to the underground sewers.

Operation Phase4.34 Impacts on Air Quality: Additional prominent activity other than cooking and two

wheeler movement which will contribute to air pollutants is not anticipated. However, demolition & construction activities of the main structures would generate dust which may have adverse impact.

4.35 Mitigation Measures: Above activities are not additional activities, hence there will not be any increase in the pollution level in the ambient air. Wind shields provided in order to reduce the adverse impact.

4.36 Impacts on Noise levels: Since the facility does not have any Diesel Generator set(s), possibility of noise generation in this regard is not anticipated.

4.37 Impacts on Soil: Water will be provided to the beneficiaries through public fountains by the CMWSSB and sewage will be generated from the operation phase from toilet blocks and bathing facility. Some sullage will also be generated from washing of utensils and clothes.

4.38 Mitigation Measures: Sewage and sullage generated from the above activities will be disposed into the city sewers through the existing UGSS. Washing area will be concrete paved/lined to abate leaching of any sullage into soil.

4.39 Impacts on Water: Water will be supplied to the beneficiaries by CMWSSB. Likelihood of any adverse impact on groundwater is not anticipated. Since no sewage is likely to be disposed into the soil or groundwater, there will not be adverse impact to groundwater.

Restoration Plan4.40 The restoration of transit relocation site into its original condition should cover the

demolishing and dismantling of temporary structures once the affected families have moved into new permanent shelters and should start after two weeks and plan to complete in one month period. Restoration plan should also include disposal of debris and disposal of useful materials such as steel, G.I. roofing materials, doors for reuse and broken hazardous substances such as Bison Panel Board as per hazardous waste rules through designated landfills

Environmental Management Plan for Temporary Shelters (Phase – I & II)

4.41 This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared to mitigate the potential and/or possible adverse environmental impacts that may arise during the construction and operation phases of the proposed Temporary (Transit) Shelters for the tenements to be reconstructed between Nochikuppam to Srinivasapuram along the Marina Beach, Chennai.

Pursuant to review, corrections and approval by pertinent authorities, the finalized EMP shall be enclosed as part of the Tender Document and upon selection of the Successful Contractor, shall also be appended to the Contract Agreement. Notwithstanding the compliance requirements specified herein, the Contractor shall comply with all pertinent guidelines, norms, codes and standards.

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

6.1 The Resettlement Implementation Plan (RIP) provides various policy provisions, and entitlements available for mitigating the impacts associated during resettlement with further descriptions on the resettlement implementation arrangements. Thus RIP is aimed at realizing the ultimate objective of Social safeguard as per the ETRP objectives and also ensures that the project affected people are provided with housing and assistance for the losses inorder to enable them to improve or retain their living standards that existed prior to the impact.

Objectives

6.2 The objective is to improve the overall living standards of the communities to be resettled. This is proposed to be achieved by adopting the following measures:

To provide compensation to project affected for loss of assets. To prepare an action plan for delivery of compensation and assistance

prior to resettlement. To establish implementation procedures including monitoring and

evaluation to track the timely progress of implementation.

Stages in RIP

The RIP consists of the following elements: Screening and social impact assessment Preparation of resettlement and rehabilitation entitlements Census survey of the Project affected Families Public Consultations and Preparation of RAP

6.3 The entire programme will be implemented over a period of 18 months (intermittent). Each entitled unit (family/persons) will be issued an identity card that will list the support mechanisms and amount of assistance to be given. The Work Plan for Implementation of RAP is given in Annexure IX. The PIU will be established exclusively for the purpose of implementing the Resettlement Plan. However if there is any delay in implementation due to unforeseen circumstances, the period of PIU will be extended accordingly. The implementation of the Resettlement Plan involves the following activities:

PIU Internal proceedings, Imparting training to the staff to be involved in implementation, Disclosure of RIP Constitution of GRC & Data base Obtain option for Rental Issuing identity cards to beneficiaries, Disbursement of R&R assistance, Construction and allotment of Temporary shelters, Construction and allotment of Permanent shelters Impact evaluation

PHASING OF RIP

6.6 The following phasing has been proposed by TNSCB for the resettlement of the project affected families.

Phase I : Nochikuppam and Nochi Nagar, Dommingkuppam and Selvarajapuram & Foreshore Estate (Bhavanikuppam, Rajiv gandhinagar, Nambikkai Nagar & Mullaima Nagar)

Phase II : Srinivasapuram

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR RIP

6.7 A well-defined institutional arrangement and implementation mechanism is very important for timely and successful implementation of any plan. The success or failure of a Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) programme predominantly depends on the officers responsible for its implementation. Therefore it is appropriate to define the type of institutional arrangement and implementation mechanism proposed for the R&R programme.

6.8 The Resettlement outcome depends on the quality of implementation. The following are the actions needed for successful resettlement implementation and the foremost step is to ensure that the implementing agencies are ready by means of :

Explaining the key features of the resettlement plan to the key project staff in TNSCB and all the staffs working in the resettlement implementation i.e. by means of bringing the operation level staff together for intensive training at a project launch workshop.

Relating the resettlement implementation schedule to adequate staffing levels at various stages and making the PIU operational staff aware of organisational and resource needs in advance

Equipping the staff of TNSCB, PIU and before implementation begins Activating the implementation co-ordination mechanism and the close co-

ordination of several government agencies for the PIU TNSCB Continuous consultation with beneficiaries – If a long gap between the

planning and implementation stages occurs, the needs and priorities of beneficiaries may change requiring some modifications in the resettlement program

Updating the census and socio-economic survey, if necessary – if there is more than 2-3 years lapse time between the stages of census and socioeconomic surveys and the beginning of resettlement implementation.

Implementation Authority

6.9 The Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board will be responsible for the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. The TNSCB will constitute Project Implementing Unit which will be headed by the Executive Engineer, Special Division central TNSCB, who is responsible for coordination of all components of resettlement. The PIU will be staffed with an Officer exclusively for Resettlement and Rehabilitation in the rank of Assistant Executive Engineer. The AEE-RR will be supported by one

Community participation is envisaged in the following manner during the implementation of RAP: At the first level for disseminating the information on the entitlements

package. Second level participation will be ensured through reaching agreements on

the compensation and assistance and finalizing the project affected through issue of ID Cards

The third round involves the disbursement of compensation and assistance amounts when the actual resettlement process is initiated after obtaining the approval of the PIU.

Plan for Continuous Participation

6.13 Follow-up consultation will be held prior to the resettlement. The stake holder’s workshops would be conducted; the incorporation of issues raised in the earlier consultations shall be explained to the beneficiaries in details.

Co-ordination with civil works

6.14 The PIU / TNSCB will be responsible for coordination of civil works and the RP for timely relocation of the beneficiaries. The PIU will be responsible for the overall co-ordination of RP and will ensure that the construction of tenements are completed and all related amenities are in place before advising the beneficiaries to relocate to the tenements allotted to them. The PIU will also ensure that the western side of the site is adequately safeguarded during the construction phase of the project to reduce the adverse the environmental impacts to the public residing adjacent to the boundary.

Training and Development of Staff

6.15 Few training activities are proposed to be conducted during the project to strengthen the PIU. These training programmes will cover subjects such as policy framework, identification and verification of beneficiaries, public consultations, resettlement action plan, compliance, and coordination with civil work.

Monitoring and Evaluation of RIP

6.16 Concurrent monitoring is the main mechanism for alerting management to delays and problems in implementation. The objective of concurrent monitoring is to identify implementation problems and success as early as possible so that the implementation arrangements can be adjusted. The overall monitoring and reporting framework provides a routine flow of information from the field to the headquarters of the implementation agency. The concurrent monitoring will be carried out by Resettlement & Rehabilitation AEE and reviewed by PIU on quarterly basis /as per project needs. Monthly progress report out lining the details of RIP activities and current status shall be submitted to the monitoring committee of the Tsunami Cell of the TNSCB. Based on the monthly progress reports, review meetings will be conducted to review the progress and take appropriate steps for successful implementation. An indicative format is annexed in Annexure VIII as Format 1A and Format 1B.

Baseline Characteristics for Impact Monitoring

-101-

-102-


Final Report

TamilNadu, India

6.17 The Baseline characteristics for monitoring the impact during post resettlement period are Type of House, Income, Occupation, Access to Basic Amenities and Material Assets. Though sizeable numbers of beneficiaries are involved, the impact to the beneficiaries is one and the same and hence TNSCB itself can carry out the concurrent monitoring. A consultant will be appointed who would undertake an impact evaluation, six months after the implementation of the RP. TNSCB will monitor the R&R activities and prepare monthly progress reports in terms of physical and financial indicators and submit the same to the Special Officer, ETRP/TEAP. In addition, the monitoring process will also look into the communication and reactions of beneficiaries, use of grievance procedures and information to beneficiaries on benefits, options and implementation timetable. The progress report will be reviewed by the PMU. For the impact evaluation the consultant would collect primary data from the beneficiaries and compare the same with the BSS data collected. Some of the key socio-economic indicators that would be used to assess the success of the project are listed below:

• Type of dwelling unit• Size of dwelling unit• Access and quality of basic amenities such as water, electricity, toilet,

separate kitchen, and• Income levels.

Economic Rehabilitation Measures in RIP

6.18 The resettlement and rehabilitation measures are clearly spelt out in the ETRP document in such a way that the beneficiaries are safeguarded and ensured that their pre-project status are restored and improved where ever possible. The key features are:

6.19 Firstly, eligible the tenants and tsunami affected persons (non tenants) would get permanent shelters. Secondly, the replacement cost for affected area of structure calculated (based on PWD scheduled rates) without depreciation ( for the structure whose value exceeds the unit cost of alternate built house, the balance will be given as assistance. Thirdly, those who lost their livelihood i.e. shops (owner, tenants, squatters and encroachers) will be provided with adequate compensation as laid down.

The following are the provisions made in the entitlement matrix for the various impact groups. The entitlement matrix is presented in Annexure-VI.

Compensation for Structures / Livelihood

6.20 All the eligible families residing in project affected areas shall be provided with Built House free of cost in the proposed site. In the event of the cost of the alternate housing1 being less than the value of the existing structure then the difference in the value shall be provided as financial assistance. Wherever the tenants are living, the tenants will be eligible for tenements; allottees and owners of the structure are eligible for compensation. If the original allottees / owner are also residing in the same structure, the cash compensation will alone be given to the original allottees/ owner deducting the value of the present tenement. Space will be allocated in and around the project area for the shop owners to carry out their livelihood instead of compensation.The cost of the structures is estimated based on the type of structure, area of each structure and as per PWD Guideline

Consultation and Participative Process

6.26 Experience indicates that resettlement and rehabilitation programmes generally give rise to problems for the affected population. Whatever the mechanism adopted and whatsoever the compensation given, displacement is a traumatic experience. Therefore appropriate consultation on the implementation plan and participation of affected population in decision making will improve the understanding of their needs, resources and preferences. This will help in reducing reluctance and thereby increase the reception of the project.

6. 27 Consultations have been held at the time of carrying out the baseline socio-economic survey, Focus group discussions with the Nochinagar and Nochikuppam community regarding the transit relocation sites and the approval of type design.

6.28 Further, a public consultation was held on June 25, 2007 to seek the views and preferences of the community with regard to the project. Elected representatives of the local people, the revenue authorities, and officials from TNSCB, Project Consultant, and the R&R Experts were the attendees.

6.29 On 20.07.08 public consultation with the residents of Nochikuppam and Nochinagar was held to arrive at a consensus regarding the type design. About 60 Project Affected Persons participated in the meeting. Meeting was chaired by the M.D., TNSCB and the officials from TNSCB, study team from Community Consulting India (CCI) and Gherzi PMC Consultant were present for the discussion. It was used as an opportunity to explain to the beneficiaries about the site layout, the Type Design including plan of single unit, interior and exterior views of proposed unit and details of existing and proposed tenements. It was highlighted that the proposed tenement area has provision for community facilities (viz) Library, Ration Shop, Community Hall, Nursery School, Society office, Vocational Training Centre and space for weaving

fishing net. The community agreed to accept the type design and received the project. The consultation and the details were annexed as Annexure III.

6.30 in addition there were public consultation with village leaders held on Dec 15, 2008 Dommingkuppam, Selvarajapuram &, Dec 16 & 19, 2008 Foreshore Estate to discuss about the categorisation, selection of beneficiary and finalise the beneficiary list.

6.31 During implementation, periodic consultations will be held to obtain their preference and their views will be taken into consideration in deciding the facilities that require up-gradation. It is proposed to disseminate the policy provision available to the affected population through distribution of brochures and convening group/village level meetings. Further, it is proposed to hold periodic discussions during the implementation to take appropriate decisions and overcome the operational difficulties.

Allotment Process & Title Deed Registration – Suggested Eligibility Guidelines

The new housing should be allocated on the basis of clearly defined criteria (see chapter -1.4.1) that the resettlers should understand. The proposed resettlement in the marina site is multi storied housing.

Preference shall be given for individual allottees of more than 75 years age and physically challenged.

Once the priority treatments are accommodated, others should be allocated housing on the basis of either consensus within the community or a transparent, random process of allocation.

Initially allotment order will be issued to the beneficiary indicating jointly in the name wife and husband including flat no & address through the prescribed format form – 14 in annexure 11

As per the TNSCB norms, the issue of title deed will be issued by TNSCB only after the completion of stay by the beneficiary for 5 years in the same tenement

Common Facilities and strategy for construction

6.32 Committee comprising the representatives of the local people, PMC and the TNSCB has been formed to identify the site for affected common facilities. The common facilities likely to get affected due to the implementation of project are detailed in Table 6.3. The land for reconstruction is yet to be identified in the wake of the elevated express highway project compensation will be paid before taking up the construction activity. Compensation will be paid to the respective administrative committees for the affected common facilities like temples, church and mosque for reconstruction as proposed in the budget before demolition.

Strategy for management of new housing

Final Report

TamilNadu, India

6.33 The strategy for the management of new housing will be formulated and implemented by the PIU as per the RIP and this strategy will give adequate training to the staff of PIU in handling the operation and maintenance of all components of the new housing infrastructure and also detail the cost involved for the same.

Envisaged Role of Self Help Groups

The role of SHGs in smooth implementation of RIP is; SHGs participation: Involvement of SHGs in the design and implementation of

displacement and resettlement process can reduce passivity and quicken the pace of adaptation.

SHGs choice: Providing SHGs with options increase the likelihood of fit with their group preference and aptitudes.

Development of SHGs human capital: Small business training, job skills development and internships are among mechanisms that encourage entrepreneurial activities of build confidence in alternative occupations.

During the construction phase, Giving SHGS group hiring preference in construction jobs (if the SHGs shown interest) provides income for some families during their difficult time when their livelihoods are disrupted. If properly managed, the hiring program can also impart job skills that SHGs can continue to use after construction ends.

Management of Transit Shelters

6.34 TNSCB may avail the services of appointed PMC consulting firm for management of transit site. The consulting firm shall monitor and prepare reports for submission to the TNSCB and The World Bank. The consulting firm shall also conduct periodic reconnaissance surveys and questionnaire based surveys to monitor the provision and maintenance of infrastructure facilities.

Data base management

6.35 The software for database management has been developed by the PMC with Visual Basic as front end and MS Access as back end tools. The details on the database management are given in Annexure – XII.

6.36 Appropriate formats have been developed and finalised for entering/updating the R&R data in the PIU. Thus the entered/updated R&R data will be analysed periodically to monitor the activities and for making quick decisions. The data shall be used to monitor day to day activities of beneficiaries & Grievance mechanism and generate periodical reports and disbursements of entitlements.

Relocation Database/ Index

6.37 The relocation database /beneficiary list should be properly stored in PIU-TNSCB. The database should be properly index so that retrieval is made faster. The census and inventory supplemented as necessary with data from socio economic surveys are used to establish baseline information on household income, livelihood patterns, standards of living and productive capacity. This baseline information constitutes a reference point against which income restoration and the results of other rehabilitation efforts can be measured. Proper documentation of consultations, case studies, good practices, lessons learnt can be used and replicated in the next phase of implementation. These materials can be very much useful for giving training and capacity building to the staffs for inter

and intra departments in resettlement. The details on the database management are given in Annexure – XII.

Post resettlement support details

6.38 TNSCB is therefore keen to ensure that the beneficiaries are organised as self-sustaining communities and manage their newly acquired assets and institutions within a certain timeframe. Post-resettlement intervention can be made by providing training, capacity building (Capacity Building Initiatives are outlined in the previous chapter) to enhance organisational capacity of resettled individuals (leaders) and groups in order to enable them to address physical, financial, social, economic and environmental issues relating to resettlement. The suggestions are carried out and revised as follows.

Capacity Building should be in line with the re-construction activities including:

Training of Self Help Groups for their Skill improvement. Guidelines for Maintenance of temporary shelters by the beneficiaries. (Dos

and Don’ts can be specified) PMC carry out orientation programmes for co-operative societies and their

member’s roles and responsibilities. PMC should also train the community in the maintenance of permanent

shelter by the respective block owners for repair works and operation and maintenance for water supply, solid waste, common lights etc.

PMC should also evolve parameters required for project evaluation once the project been completed

Extend support for strengthening institutional management of co-operative societies in the context of existing legislation on management of co-operative societies and apartments;

Carry out training for financial and organisational management including book keeping (including revenue collection, payment of utility bills, building of maintenance funds, etc.)

Strengthen management and administration of community of revolving fund Install mechanisms for ensuring transparency and accountability in the

society management process; Carry out training programs for skill development in order to enable the most

vulnerable beneficiaries (esp. poor women headed families) to undertake income generating activities

Promoting micro-credit and micro-enterprise activities through women self help groups(SHGs);

Identifying and developing marketing networks for strengthening income generating activities;

Drawing up strategies for strengthening incomes of vulnerable and low income residents especially women headed households and sharing the same with concerned beneficiaries;

Exit strategy for the implementation agency

6.39 The exit strategy of TNSCB with the help of PMC includes:

Preparation of photo bio metric card used for allocation and overall monitoring of project implementation, handing over of the Permanent Shelters to the community stakeholders for self-management, their federations, women groups, and others.

Ensure that the allotted person is occupying the permanent shelter and also certify the availability of potable water supply, electricity, sewerage connection,

solid waste management facilities and other common facilities. Community Development Wing of TNSCB along with the PMC will be involved to a greater extent in handing over the Permanent shelters to the allottees.

Ensure that the user fees like water charges, sewerage and electricity charges shall be arrived and communicated to the allottees.

Ensure that the Dumper bins for the collection of solid waste would be placed at appropriate locations by the CoC.

Development of site specific task framing and allocation of responsibilities through community participation to be undertaken by formal and informal institutions for sustainable self-management of Permanent Shelters by the Allottees and their co-operative societies after project closure;

The overall maintenance of the Basic amenities such as water supply, roads and drainage shall be the responsibility of TNSCB.
