PRESCRIPTIVE REQUIREMENTS

Resolution on National Forest Policy, 1988

A landmark as it stressed on maintenance of environmental stability through maintenance ofenvironmental stability through preservation and restoration of ecological balance, keeping inmind the intrinsic relationship between forests and the tribal and poor people living in andaround forests. Key portions of the policy are:

1. Preamble

1.1. In Resolution No. 13/52-F, dated the 12th May 1952, the Government of India in the erstwhileMinistry of Food and Agriculture enunciated a Forest Policy to befollowed in the managementof State Forests in the country. However, over the years, forests in the country have sufferedserious depletion. This is attributed ro relentless pressures arisingfrom ever-inc,reasing demandforfuelwood, fodder and timber, inadequacy of protection measures; diversion offorest lands tonon-forest uses without ensuring compensatory afforestatton and essential environmentalsafeguards; and the tendency to look upon forests as revenue earning resource. The need toreview the situation and to evolve, for the future, a new strategy of forest conservation hasbecome imperative. Conservation includes prese;ivation, maintenance, sustainable utilisation.restoration and enhancement of the natural environment. It has thus become necessary toreview and revise the National Forest Policy

12

2. Basic Objectives

2.1. The basic objectives that should govern the National Forest Policy are the jbllowing:

Maintenance of environmental stability through preservation and, where necessary,restoration of ecological balance that has been adversely disturbed by serious depletionofforests of the country.

* Conserving the natural heritage of the country by preserving the remaining naturalforests with the vast variety offlora andfauna, which represent the remarkable biologicaldiversity and genetic resource of the country.

* Checking soil erosion and denudation in catchment areas of rivers, lakes, reservoirs inthe interest of soil and water conservation, for mitigating floods and droughts andfor retardation of siltation of reservoirs.

* Checking the extension of sand-dunes in desert areas of Rajasthan and along coastaltracts.

* Increasing substantially theforest/tree cover in the country through marsive afforestationandforestry programmes, especially on all denuded, degraded and unpzoductive lands.

* Meeting the requirements offuelwood, fodder, minorforest produce and small timber ofthe rural and tribal populations.

* Increasing the productivity offorests to meet essential national needs.

* Encouraging efficient utilization offorest produce and maximising substitution of wood

* Creating a massive people's movement with the involvement of women, for achievingthese objectives and to minimise pressure on existingforests.

2.2 The principal aim of Forest Policy must be to ensure environmental stability and maintenance ofecological balance including atmospheric equilibrium which are vital for sustenance of alllifeforms. human, animal and plant. The derivation of direct economic benefit must besubordinated to this principal aim.

TREE AND CROP COMPENSATION PROCEDURES

Statutory Requirements:

As per the statutory requirements (IS-5613) all the trees and bushes, includingsaplings coming in the ROW limit i.e. clearance belt of transmission lines must becut and removed. The procedure for clearing of trees and crops is as illustratedbelow.

A. Trees

Tree EnumerationPOWERGRID submits details of the route of the transmission line through the forestareas to the DFO. A joint inspection along with the forest authorities is conducted toassess the number of trees coming within the ROW and likely to be felled. A CostBenefit analysis is conducted by the forest department based on the informnationgathered.

Tree CompensationCompensation is calculated on basis of tree enumeration, tree species and anestimate of the yield. In case of fruit bearing trees compensation will be calculated onthe basis of 8 years yield. Market rates of compensation ;re assessed by therelevant govemment authorities. The total estimate is submitted for approval to theGeneral Manager of the Region. Payments are made to owners in the presence oflocal revenue authorities or village head/salpanch and respective acknowledgementsare obtained

B. Crops

Crop CompensationThis is the case when installation of towers impacts on agricuftural activity andtherefore marginal farmers. The impact is reduced to the minimumr. POWERGRIDmaintains that further marginalisation of these farmers will not occur. A detailedsurvey is conducted looking at existing crops, general crop pattems, seasonalparticulars, nature and extent of yield. This data is compiled and analysed to studythe extent and nature of impact. Format for crop compensation is similar to that oftree compensation. The compensation is in terms of yield/hectare and rate/quantityfor prevailing crops in the area. Basea on this, total compensation is calculated inconsuHation with revenue authorities. Compensation is paid to the owners and theiracknowledgement obtained.

SUMMARY OF KEY TRENDS IN INDIAN LAWIPOLICIES

Regarding the inclusion of persons within the definition of 'PAP': The Land Acquisition at oneextreme only deals with people who lose land and have valid legal iUtes while the Draft NationalPolicy (Ministry of Rural Development) is now moving to a holistic understanding of what R&Rmeans and who a project affected person is Attachment-i 3 provides details of the same.

Regarding the extent and nature of entitements: While 'adequate compensationr was initiallythe objective of laws/policies, replacement cost and even development benefits are nowfavoured, in order to mitigate the potentially disruptive nature of project induced displacementand other adverse effects. Correspondingly, compensation has now been re-defined, andincludes grants/allowances/civic amenities, establishing a similar resource base. Attachment-14provides details on the nature and extent of compensation recognised by some salientdocuments.

Laws/policies now provide for resettlement on a community-wide basis and not on an individualbasis. Integration into host communities is also an important consideration.

Most policies now view R&R as a tme-bound activity

Cut off dates for identification of PAPs, and the formulation of eligibility criteria are! now specifiedin some of the laws.

National Acts and policies have little provision for public disclosure, consultation andparticipation, whereas the Orissa Policy and the NGO policy do.

Reaardina grievance/redressal mechanisms: The National Draft Policy provides for the seftingup of a Grievance Redressal Cell including organisations of displaced persons. Orissa policymentions constitution of Lok Adalats (altemative dispute resolution) for speedier disposal ofgrievances.

The requirement of social assessment is not mandatory under national law. Preparation of R&Rplans are required under specific State laws and some policies, but there is no parallel with theenvironmental clearance required under the EIA Notification, 1994. There is mention of a MasterRehabilitation Plan under the EIA notification but only so long as the project has adverseenvironmental impacts.

POWERGRID's environmental and social policy is based on recent and progressive trends inIndian laws.

Attachment-19ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FIELD

Power Technologies, Inc. has been requested to review POWERGRID's 132 KV, 220 KV, 400 KV and 800 KVlines with respect to conductor to ground, phase to phase and circuit to cirCUit clearances and theirappropriateness in light of present practice.Based on a review of POWERGRID's designs, we find that the phase to phase and circuit to circuit clearancesare consistent with practices used for line clearances throughout the world. The values used byPOWERGRID are generally in the middle range of that used throughout the world and are expected to providesatisfactory performance.The conductor to ground dearances are within typical limits and meet or exceed the recluirements of theNational Electrical Safety Code, American Nabonal Standard Insitute, C2, as shown on Figure.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES AND ROUTE SELECTION CRITERIA FORPOWERGRID'S PROJECTS

(a) Transmission Line:

A transmission line system is developed along the guidelines issued by the Central ElectricityAuthority. The system is designed by the System Engineering Group of POWERGRID inconsultation with CEA. While designing the new system, the existing transrnission systemand available options, i.e.upgradation of existing AC transmission lines; and adoption ofMulti-voltage level and Multi-circuit transmission ines; are considered based on cost,reliability, energy losses, down time, ROW requirement and anticipated environmentalproblems.

The System Operation Group of POWERGRID develops a transmission systeem comprisingof different lines, voltages, type (single or double circuit) and their end point based on:

- Power flow studies- Short circuit studies- Stability studies including transient stability, voltage stability and steady state oscillatory

stability- EMTP studies to determine switching/temporary overvoltages.

The scheme is then submitted to CEA for approval. On getting an 'in principle" approvalfrom CEA, POWERGRID initiates planning for implementation of the scheme

Environmental and Social Issues

Besides information on technical aspects, POWERGRID also conducts a Reconnaissancesurvey (Walkover survey) to collect data on likely environmental and social issues. Theaspects on which information is gathered include:

- Nature of terrain likely to be traversed by the transmission lines i.e. wetland, hilly terrainetc.

* Likelihood of buildings of historical/cultural importance, airports, railway crossings, rivercrossings, etc. near the transmission line route.

* Presence of access roads/ field bunds to approach tower locations.* Likelihood of forests, National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries etc. in the transmission line

route. If so, the likely number of trees to be felled. species and age.* Possibility of setting up extra high towers to avoid tree felling.* Likelihood of the line being routed through community lands or public utilities such as

playgrounds, schools, etc.

The inherent flexibility of route selection enables POWERGRID to avoid environmentally andsocially sensitive areas or to take necessary mitigation measures as elaborated in the ESPP.Construction in forest areas commences only after approvals from concemed StateGovt./MOEF.

(b) Substations:

A sub-station site is selected after careful scrutiny of data from at least two to threealternative sites. The POWERGRID utilses a standard format for obtaining information onsub-station site altematives.(Attachment-24a). Different altematives are compared and thebest possible site with a minimum number of project affected persons is selected 'or sub-station.

POWERGRID'S MONITORING PLAN

POWERGRID Monitors all its activities continuously. The corporate monitoring group reportsto the Director( Projects) on a monthly basis. The Board of Directors is kept informed aboutthe progress of various ongoing activities.

For environmental and social components of a project, an environmental and social monitoringplan will be developed based on baselinedata and impacts predicted during the environmentaland social assessment process. Monitoring of impacts on ecological resources through whichthe transmission line traveses is done by the concemed forest department staff as part of theirduties. POWERGRID associate concemed officials for timely implementation variousactivities such as compensatory afforestation, ROW maintenance, preventation of firehazards, natural regenaration of vegetation etc. The Environmental and Social Monitoring Plan(ESMP) will be integrated with construction, operation and maintenance. It shall be monitoredby the ESMD on a monthly basis in association with the corporate monitoring group.

POWERGRID does not acquire land for the construction of transmission lines. Howeverabout 20 to 40 hacters of land is acquired for the construction of substations. Area of landacquired is minimal. POWERGRID rehabilitates project affected people in accordance withguidelines laid down in its social entitlement framework, the draft national policy andrequirements of funding agencies.

POWERGRID is not involved with activities that are polluting in nature. POWERGRID aimsfor zero pollution and does not use chemicals for ROW maintenance or PCBs in its electricalequipment. Hence, the requirement of a pollution monitoring plan or a PCB level monitoringplan does not arise for POWERGRID.

CASE STUDIES OF POWERGRID'S TRANSMISSION PROJECTS

Vindhyachal Dhule

Vindhyachal Dhule is a 400 KV transmission project consisting of three stages:

i) Vindhyachat - Jabalpur - 320 kms.19) Jabalpur - Itarsi - 245 kmsiii) Itarsi - Dhule - 430 kms

This transmission project involves construction of approximately 995 kms of 400 KV lines and also includes expansion of NTPC's existing switch-yard / sub-stations at Vindhyachal, Jabalpur, Itarsi and that of Maharashtra State Electricity Board at Dhule. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 313 crores. Theproject was designed by NTPC and later taken over by POWERGRID. At its inception by NTPC. a major of portion of the line was routed through DryDeciduous forests. When the project was handed over to I IOWERGRID, the later took advantage of the inherent flexibility of re-routing transmission lines anddesigned the project such that a 40 kms stretch of forests along its linear length was reduced to 13 kms. Other projects wherein POWERGRID has used theflexibility of routing lines so as to minimise the length traversed through forests are:

POWERGRID's inter regional HVDC links will facilitate integration of regional grid systems intothe national grid and establish an inter-regional flow of surplus power thus avoiding freaquentgird collapses. POWERGRID has drawn up a programme for inter-connecting the variouspower regions of the country through these HVDC links.

POWERGRID has undertaken implementation of state-of- the-art Unified Load Despatch andCommunication facilities in all regions of the country for economic despatch of power betweenregions / states and for effective grid management.

Transmission Lines:

While routing its transmission lines, POWERGRID avoids all environmentally and sociallysensitive areas. Most of POWERGRID's transmission towers are located in agricultural fields.The detailed land use classification of transmission tower sites is shown in the table below. Atypical tower base spreads over an area of 10m x 10m. Construction activity however takesup more space i.e. 30m x 30m for a tower base.

Landuse Ckm %Forest 1,620 6.0Agricultural land 17,388 64.4Other Revenue land 7,560 28.0Water bodies 108 0.4Plantations and orchards 108 0.4Mountain/lice caps 108 0.4UrbaniResidential areas 108 0.4

51

Sub-Stations:

Presently, POWERGRID operates its 27,000 km through 53 sub-stations. POWERGRIDavoids all environmentally and socially sensitive areas while selecting a s,ite for its sub-stations. POWERGRID acquired only one homestead in 55 Sub-stations. POWERGRID sub-station sites typically occupy an area of about 100 to 150 acres. Land acquisition details of 55sub-stations are as shown below.

A sub-station site is selected after considering three to five options. Land acquired is usuallyagricultural or wasteland since POWERGRID avoids environmentally sensitive areas. Most ofthe private agricultural land is cultivated by landless leaseholders who subsist on agriculture.Hence, usually project affected people are agricultural labour who loose their land andlivelihoods.

* Determination of extent of adverse social impacts through a Social Assessment andManagement plan (SAMP) for each project as the basis for detemining scope of the RAP.

* Preparabon of a detailed Terms of Reference for the consultants(ff necessary) on the basis ofthe specific R&R issues emerging from the SAMP.

* Make available to the consultants a copy of the ESPP, SAMP, and the project design withdetailed maps of the project for which the RAP is being commissioned.

Resettlement Plan Objectives

Preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is being commissioned as an integral part, and oneof the major components of the Social Assessment Process described in the ESPP. The need for theRAP has been identified by the preliminary findings of the SAMP and the analysis of expected socialimpacts which require appropriate mitigation measures for all PAPs who, on the basis of anestablished cut-off date, will be losing land, or other assets or livelihood, as a result of projectimplementabon. The RAP will incorporate all R&R measures necessary lo ensure o:mpensation forassets acquired at replacement cost and mitigation of loss of livelihood for al PAPs.

Outline of RAP:

i. Project Description

* Physical, social and economic characteristics of the projt area;* Major features of the proposed project;* Relevant maps of the project site (s) and the project area* Summary description of the extent of land acquisition needed for the project and its

expected adverse social impact - results of the SAMP;* Analysis of major social groups likely to be adversely affected, and their special

characteristics in relation tot he project;* Impact on archaeological sites and cultural property;* Overview of the R&R steps envisaged within the project

2. The Social Assessment Process

* Preceding stages of the Social Assessment Process leading to preparation of the RAP:* Consultation process with different stakeholders used during the Social Assessment

Process; if different forms of consultation have been used for different stakeholders e.g.govemment agencies, potential user groups, PAPs and NGOs, the consultative processesshould be described separately.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DEVELOPMENT PLAN - RECOMMENDED CONTENT & FORMAT

If initial scoping and preliminary assessments have determined that indigenous peoples or vulnerablegroups coming under the purview of OD 4.20 will be affected by the proposed project, the Bank's policymandates that:

For an investment project that affects indigenous peoples, the borrower should prepare anindigenous peoples development plan that is consistent with the Bank's policy. Any project thataffects indigenous peoples is expected to include components or provisions that incorporate sucha plan. When the bulk of the direct project beneficiaries are indigenous people, the Bank'sconcems will be addressed by the project itself and the provisions of this OD will thus apply to theproject in its entirety. (OD 4.20 para, 13)

POWERGRID's Public Consultation Process

Public consultation forms an integral part of POWERGRID's project cycle.

Transmission Lines

1. When planning a transmission line, public consultation is used as an integral tool forscreening, assessment and finalisation of route alignment. When lines traverseagricultural lands, a gazette notification of the transmission scheme is made in theState Gazette and details of the scheme including location are published in dailynewspapers of the area. The notification invites objections from the public within astipulated time period in writing or through meetings so as to redress theirapprehensions.

2. During initial screening and walkover survey, POWERGRID's staff meets the publicin the route of proposed transmission line. Observations and problems arising fromthese discussions are given due consideration while finalising the route.

3. During the survey for tower spotting, POWERGRID's ste officials meet the public i.e.people coming in the route of the line. This enables POWERGRID to guage publicopinion. At the time of construction, every individual on whose land a tower is to beerected is met with. People coming in the way of the ROW are consulted and theirviews and suggestions are incorporated thus allowing for public participation.

4. During construction POWERGRID pays the compensation for any damages to eachland owner and obtains their final acknowledgement.

5. During maintenance, POWERGRID consults the individual landowners, obtains theirapproval and pays compensation for any damage to property.

Substations

1. POWERGRID identifies location of the substation and notifies the area under LAA.

2. Public consultation is a part of LAA. Under Section 4 of LAA, a notification ispublished in the official Gazette and in two local daily newspapers (at least one ofwhich is in the local regional language) about the details of the project. Anyobjections related to the land to be acquired are made to the collector in writing.Under section 5a, the District Collector hears the public objections by calling a publicmeeting, if so desired. DC sends report along with recommendations along withdetails of proceedings to the state govemment . DC issues notice under section 6only after he receives the state govemment's approval.

3. Under Section 6 of LAA, the DC issues a notice informing the public about the landto be acquired and invites their claims. All effective people inforrned individually.Compensation is paid to public according to local norms. .

4. Besides publication consultation as an integral part of the LAA, IPOWERGRID iscommitted to assessment of all probable impacts associated with land acquisitionthrough is social assessment and management process which includes a socio-economic survey of the proposed substation sites. The socio-economic survey willassess both adverse and positive impacts of the project on aspects such as thenatural resource base, developmental potential of the area, economy of the affectedarea, social structure, norms and traditions. The socio-economic survey will includea complete household census recording members, property with legal rights andresources which are in possession or in use. Appropriate methods such asparticipatory rural appraisal and questionnaires will be used where necessary.

60

5. POWERGRID assess the social impacts of its land acquisition based on the socio-economic survey and designs its compensation packages in consultation with thepeople. POWERGRID organises meetings with the PAPs to evolve thie RAP.

In order to further streamline the above process and to facilitate documentation of the same,and to discussion the following:

complete project plan (i.e. its route and terminating point and substations, if any, inbetween)

* POWERGRID design standards in relation to approved international standards* health impacts in relation to EMF* measures taken to avoid public utilities such as school, hospitals, etc.* other impacts associated with transmission lines and POWERGRID's approach to

minimising and solving them* land acquisition details, proposed R&R measures and compensation packages in line

with POWERGRID's policy

POWERGRID uses one or more of the following techniques at various stages. Theseinclude:

(1) Public meetingsPOWERGRID will hold public meetings during its EAMP process at appropriatelocations along the length of the transmission line. Public meetings will include one toone meetings with land owners during transmission tower spotting. Larger groupmeetings will be organised at strategic distances along the length of the transmissionline. These will consist of all or atleast most of the people to be directly affected by theconcemed project and their local Gram Panchyat leaders.

(2) Informal small group meetingsInformal small group meetings will be conducted during walkover survey to find out localenvironmental and social issues along the proposed transmission line! route. Thesemeetings will be conducted by ESMT staff at appropriate intervals.

(3) Information brochures and PamphletsPOWERGRID will make available information and project specific details to the publicthrough Information brochures and Pamphlets. These brochures and pamphlets willcontain information on: the overall project plan; design and construction standards:prudent deviations from design standards from transmission towers near schools,hospitals, human habitation: potential impacts and generic mitigation measures:resettlement and rehabilitation: and, compensation.

(4) Operaffng field officesInformation regarding the proposed transmission line can be accessedl by the publicfrom operating field offices. Informnation will be provided through brouchures andpamphlets and any further queries will be responded by POWERGRID's staff.

(5) Local planning visits and site visitsPOWERGRID staff will visit field sites. During this time informal contacts will beestablished with the local people. Reactions of the public to the project will beinformally gauged.

(6) Response to public EnquiresESMCIESMT will respond to public enquiries by post or through notices in local newspapers.

(7) Press release inviting commentsPOWERGRID will publish details of proposed transmission routes in two localnewspapers. Public will be invited to comment in writing or by meeting concernedPOWERGRID officials within a specified period. POWERGRID will thien incorporaterelevant objections and suggestions.

61

(8) Project coordination commiteesPOWERGRID will set up grevance redressal committees to adress the oDmplaints andobjections that PAP's may have regarding the project, its impacts or mitigationmeasures.

(9) Ombudsman or representatveFor building a consensus on the project its impacts and mitigation measures, the PAPswill be encouraged to elect or appoint a trusted ombudsman or representative.

(10) Public DisplaysPOWERGRID will show their model projects to public/small representative groups.

DocumentationThe proceedings of the above consultation shall be documented. Details recorded willinclude date of the meeting, venue, number and possibly the names of the people attendingand the outcome of the meeting.

The manager at DHQ will apply combinations of the appropriate techniques at variousactivities of a proiect depending upon the field conditions as shown below:
