1. INTRODUCTION
This is fourth bi-annual environmental progress report prepared for Pakpattan Canal &
Sulemanki Barrage Improvement Project (PCSBIP). Details of activities performed under
environmental aspects of the project during January 2016 to June 2016 are described in this
report. Construction activities carried out on both contract of PCSBIP i.e. Rehabilitation of
Sulemanki Barrage and Rehabilitation of Pakpattan Main Canal, Khadir Branch & PI Link
Canal.
Sulemanki Barrage is the first barrage on Satluj River after the river enters into Pakistan
tertiary. The barrage is designed to for 325,000 cusecs discharge and located about 20km
(12 miles) from Haveli Lakha and about 150km (94miles) from Lahore (capital of Punjab
Province). Three Irrigation Canals viz Pakpattan, Fordwah and Eastern Sadiqia Canals are
fed from this barrage. The total canal command area of three canals is 2.5 million acres,
which is 9.25% of the total irrigated area of Punjab (27 million acres) and has considerable
contribution in the agricultural production of Punjab. Three canal command area spread over
the six districts of Punjab i.e. Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari and
Lodhran.
Pakpattan Canal off takes from River Sutlej at right side of Sulemanki Barrage. The design
discharge of canal is 6,594 cusecs at head. The total canal command area is about one
million acres distributed in districts Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari and Lodhran on the right side
of the River Sutlej. The main Pakpattan canal is perennial and only close for annual
maintenance requirement during the month of January. Khadir Branch is non-perennial and
closed during summer. The PI Link Canal is used for supply to Islam Barrage from
Pakpattan Canal.
2. BACKGROUND
Pakistan Irrigation system originally developed during mid 19th and early 20th century and
therefore the major chunk of the system is more than 80 years old. Upgrading and/or proper
maintenance of the irrigation system has not been carried out since the system is
constructed. Pakpattan Canal and distribution network and Sulemanki Barrage were
commissioned in 1926. Feasibility and detail design study of rehabilitation & upgrading of
Pakpattan Canal Main line, Khadir Branch, Pakpattan-Islam Link Canal and Sulemanki
Barrage were completed in 2013. The project named as “Pakpattan Canal & Sulemanki
Barrage Improvement Project (PCBIP)” was awarded for construction in mid 2014. The
project is divided into two construction contract:

2.1 Pakpattan Main Canal (Upper & Lower), Khadir Branch and PI-Link Canal
Pakpattan Canal and distribution network cultivating about 1.25 million acres was
commissioned in June 1926. The design discharge of Pakpattan Canal was 6,594 cusecs at
head regulator built on the right flank of Suleimanki Barrage. Pakpattan Canal irrigates land
in the districts of Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari, and Lohdran. Pakpattan canal has perennial as
well as non perennial irrigation system and shut down for annual maintaining requirements
during January. Khadir Branch and PI Link Canal are non-perennial canals. PI Link Canal is
used for supply at Islam Barrage from Pakpattan Main Canal Upper.
Pakpattan Main Canal
In pursuance of Indus Water Treaty (1960), India got the usage rights of the eastern
tributaries of River Indus (Ravi, Sutlej and Beas). Consequently upon the construction of
Bhakra/Nangal Dam on river Sutlej and Pandoh & Pong Dam on Beas, discharges in Sutlej
were reduced significantly. The reduction in average annual flow of Sutlej River after the
treaty is provided in Water Resources Management Directorate WAPDA and given below
River Average Annual Flow from 1922 to 1961
Average Annual Flow from 1985 to 1995
Average Annual Flow 2000 to 2009
Sutlej 7 MAF 5 MAF 1.1 MAF
Significant works for conveying water from western rivers through link canals to overcome
the shortfall in the eastern rivers were devised and constructed. Balloki-Suleimanki Link
canal (B.S Link) brings about 25,000 cusecs from Balloki barrage to feed the off taking
canals of the Suleimanki Barrage. With construction of Sidhni Mailsi Bahawal (SMB) Link
Canal Pakpattan main canal was split into two parts i.e. Pakpattan Canal Upper (PC (U))
from RD 0 to 567 and Pakpattan Canal Lower (PC (L)) from RD 568 to 667. Due to this
intervention, PC (L) now draws its supplies from SMB Link.

Khadir Branch
Khadir Branch off-taking from PC (upper) at RD 112+104/L draws a discharge of 2250
cusecs and irrigates an area of about 329,000 acres and is one of the large non-perennial
canal systems. Khadir branch system has, over the years of use, sustained substantial
damages to the hydraulic structures and the canal prism. The fall structures on this channel
were first remodeled in late thirties by Mr. Prothero & Mr. Burkitt, who changed the fall
sections to stepped and in some cases to expanding glacis type. These falls and some
bridge decks were repaired in the early nineties but are still facing serious problems and
demand rehabilitation and remodeling, some to the extent of reconstruction which has been
provided in this project.
PI Link Canal
The Pakpattan Islam Link (PI Link) off-takes from RD 406+828/L of Pakpattan Canal (upper)
and transfers about 1000 cusecs from Pakpattan Canal back to Sutlej river U/S of Islam
headworks to feed the Upper Bahawal and Qaim Canals. The water so abstracted from
Pakpattan canal is recouped at RD 267+000 through another link canal named Montgomery
Pakpattan link (MP Link) from LBD canal whose discharge, in consequence, has been
increased by about 1100 cusecs at its head at Balloki Barrage.

2.2 Sulemanki Barrage
Sulemanki Barrage is one of the four barrages/ headworks constructed under Sutlej Valley
Project (SVP), the other 3 being Ferozepur on its upstream; and Islam and Panjnad on the
downstream side. Sulemanki Barrage was built during 1921-1926 with a designed discharge
capacity of 325,000 cusecs to irrigate vast tracts of fertile agricultural land lying on both
sides of the Sutlej River. The barrage was formally inaugurated on April 12, 1926. Sadiqia
and Fordwah Canals commenced irrigation on May 1 and Pakpattan canal on June 1, 1926.
Since signing of the Indus Water Treaty 1960, India has constructed two storage dams on
Sutlej River and almost all of the flows of the river, except the floods that cannot be stored in
the dams, are being used in India. Historical discharge data indicates that the flood
discharge in the river at Suleamnki Barrage exceeded the designed capacity of the barrage
four times in past; in 1947 (325,000 cfs), 1950 (332,000 cfs), 1955 (597,000 cfs) and 1988
(499,000 cfs).

4. PROJECT PURPOSE
Ever since the construction, the structure of Sulemanki Barrage has suffered heavily from
floods during the monsoon seasons. The barrage is about 86 years old now and aging
process with inadequate / deferred maintenance has also contributed towards general
deterioration of the different components of the barrage.
Similarly, Pakpattan Canal was heavily damaged during floods of 1988 when the discharge
escaping through the breaches in RMB of Sulemanki Barrage destroyed the canal prism in
the first ten miles or so and damaged the allied structures. The uncontrolled flow discharge
entered the canal and also obliterated the canal prism with scours and erosion in many
places. The hydraulic structures have also sustained substantial ageing defects. No major
rehabilitation works have been carried out during the 80 years of life time of the Pakpattan
Canal system consequently the main canal and its distribution system have become less
efficient.
The project is designed to rehabilitate and upgrading of Pakpattan Main Canal (upper &
lower), Khadir Branch, Pakpattan-Islam Link canal and Sulemanki Barrage. The scope of
work includes the following:
Pakpattan Canal
Channel prisms to be rehabilitated and restored to designed sections. This will be
achieved through construction of studs or berm cutting. Where brushwood is
available, killa bushing will be done for berm formation;
Pakpattan canal Lower will be remodeled to carry the increased discharge of 1160
cusecs;
Regulators and falls without stilling basin will be reconstructed; downstream of many
fall structures especially on Khadir Branch deep scour pits and embayments have
been formed due to improper energy dissipation. These will be rehabilitated with
proper design of stilling basins.
Structures in deteriorated condition will be rehabilitated and where rehabilitation cost
is not much different from reconstruction, the structures will be re-constructed;
New VR bridges will be constructed to cater for the changed requirements;
Foot bridges will be constructed/rehabilitated;
Raising and strengthening banks of the channels to provide required free board and
cater for hydraulic safety;
Additional cattle ghats will be constructed and the damaged ghats will be
rehabilitated;

PSS Consultants 15
It was emphasized to provide continue presence of MBBS doctor and ambulance
during construction activities performed at site.
Gaps in implementation of Helath & Safety Plan on site was raised by the consultant
and highlighted to follow the plan on site by providing and ensuring proper use of
PPE, maintain good housekeeping and carrying out periodic inspection of machinery
use at site.
Safeguard plans including traffic management, waste management, training etc are
updated according to the site conditions and implement on site.
Public Consultation carried out on regular basis and their outcomes presented in the
relevant documents i.e. monthly monitoring reports etc.
Follow monthly Internal Instrumental Monitoring according to the EMP requirement
Test for Communicable diseases also conducted covering Contractor’s and
Consultant’s Camp staff
Implementation of the LARP as per the approved scheduled by ADB and PMO.
On recommendation of Consultant a First aid card was designed and issued to all
site supervisors. It made essential to carry the card during supervising construction
activities in order to provide correct first aid on site in case of any accident.
Two fatal accidents reported during this half of the year on 1st of April 2016 and on
12th May 2016. This is unfortunate that two fatal cases are reported during this half of
the construction phase of the project and does not reflect the overall safety
arrangements practice at site in this project. Both accidents occurred at ICB-2
contract. Detailed accident report prepared by Consultant on accident occurred on 1st
of April is distributed among all parties of the project. During EPRM Meeting,
accident’s causes and control measures were discussed in order to avoid accidents
in future. It was emphasized to compensate the affecties according to the Workman
Compensation Act as soon as possible. In this regard, consultant has issued warning
letter to the contractor for releasing compensation to affecties without any further
delay.

7.2 Implementation of Environmental Monitoring Plan
External Monitoring
The Contractor hired the services of Apex Laboratory (approved laboratory from EPA
Punjab) for bi-annual external environmental monitoring as per the requirement of the
contract i.e. EMP. Apex Laboratory carried out ambient air and water quality testing /
monitoring during February 2016. Test Results are summarized in below tables. Except one
sample of groundwater from Suleamnki Barrage Camp site, all other samples of
groundwater meet the criteria of NEQS for drinking water standard. On the basis of the test
results Contractor stopped using groundwater for drinking and cooking purpose at
Sulemanki Barrage Camp site. Sulemanki Barrage Camp staff have now adopted nearest
groundwater source which fulfill the drinking water standard (as shown below in given test
results) for drinking water. Waste water disposal carrying out through the provision of septic
tank and filter bed soaking pit. Test results of nearest groundwater source to the camp site
confirm that the disposal of waste water do not adversely affect on groundwater quality of
the area.

Internal Monitoring
Physical Environment
Internal instrumental monitoring of water quality and noise carried out on monthly basis
according to EMP by the Contractor’s environmental team in the supervision of the Engineer.
Five parameters of water quality including pH, Ec, DO, TDS and temperature were
monitored along Pakpattan Canal, at upstream and downstream of Sulemanki Barrage and
at three Camp sites. Monitoring results are attached under Annexure 2. Water quality
monitoring indicates the project activities do not adversely affect water resources of the area.
Dust monitoring carried out on regular basis as specified in the EMP. All the dust prone
tracks/roads sprinkle with water twice a day during dray and hot weather or at when required
basis.
Noise monitoring conducted at camp sites and at construction sites. Monitoring results are
attached under Annexure 2. Elevated noise levels were found occasionally particularly next
to the generators and plant/machinery operation. As a remedial measure the out of order
machinery was immediately repaired or silencer installed to bring the level within the NEQS
i.e. 75dB. In addition it was ensured that ear plugs are used by the machine operators and
other workers near the noise producing activities.
Photographs Collected during internal Environmental Monitoring
Biological Environment

Fish trapped in the second phase of cofferdam, constructed at right pocket of Sulemanki
Barrage, released to the downstream of the river by the contractor’s environmental team. All
forest, wildlife and fisheries laws were respected and abided by the site workers and
monitored by the contractor and consultant environmental team. All vehicles, machinery,
equipment and generators used during construction activities were kept in good working
condition and be properly tuned to minimize the adverse impact on waterfowl habitat by
reducing noise, exhaust and land disturbance. Necessary sign boards were displayed to
remind the obligation of labour, visitors and members of public towards Biota.
Social Environment
Public consultations were conducted at villages or daras located near the construction site.
Social Framework Agreements were completed during the consultations in case the
contractor’s utilize any local privately owned resources e.g. tube well, land for borrow
material, public path etc. Redresal Mechanism is followed by keeping the complaint register
on site. So far no complain registered by any community member against the project related
activity. Details of few consultations conducted during reported period are given below:
Agenda: Awareness about Extension in Canal Closure
Location: Chak # 46 Near RD 301, Khadir Branch conducted during April, 2016
Khadir Branch is non-perennial canal and closed six months in a year. During last closure,
scope of civil works included the dismantling of old head regulator of Khadir branch & It's
entire new construction was marked in order to increase the flow of water in canal. Due to
some technical reasons & delayed construction activities, the mentioned head regulator has
not been completed up to targeted date i.e 15-04-2016. So, an extension of 10 days has
been awarded to Contractor by PID to complete the rest of work. A public consultation was
conducted at above cited location in the presence of Chairman of that area. It was
considered a prima facie duty to make local community well aware about the delay in canal
closure. Community was worried about this delay. It was discussed in detail that the
construction activities going on are for upcoming 50+ years so they have to bear this short
time difficult period with patience. It was made clear the Contractor is utilizing his full
resources & applying his entire efforts to complete the work as soon as possible. The local
community admitted that the ongoing construction activities are for their own welfare in the
long run. Furthermore, the Chairman of that area was given the contact number to register
any complaints regarding contractor's activities at site.
