CHAPTER I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Naba H.E. Project is located in remote area of Upper Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh. This project envisages utilisation of water of river Subansiri (called Si Ngit in upper reaches). Subansiri is the tributary of river Brahmaputra. Three scheme viz.,
Subansiri lower (2000 MW), Subansiri Middle (1600MW) and Subansiri Upper (2000MW) have been planned to harness power potential of river Subansiri. CEA has identified eight additional projects totalling about 7900 MW in Subansiri Basin (Arunachal Pradesh) in their ranking studies, as a part of exercise for development of balance hydroelectric potential in the country and accorded priority for preparation of Preliminary Feasibility Report (PFR) so that these could be taken up for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) and further development during the XI and XII Five Year Plans. The Naba H.E. Project is one of the new additions. CEAs reassessment study report envisaged construction of diversion dam at location down stream of the power house of Niare H.E. Project and carry water through a 11.5 km long open channel to a power house with installed capacity of 1290 MW. Based on Topographical, Geological and Hydrometeorology study of the area, a few modifications have been made in the layout of the project. The dam site location as proposed by CEA at river bed level EL 1000m is shifted about 3.3 km downstream near Badok village , where river has
carved out narrow U shaped valley with rocky abutments on both flanks and river bed is EL + 945 m. Power house location is retained at same location ( CEA proposal) with tail race outfall at river bed level EL 770 m instead of EL 800 m as proposed by CEA . Based on topography, geology of the area and presence of loops in river, 9.75/9.80 km long head race tunnel is adopted as water conductor system instead of power channel. Installed capacity of this project would be 1000 MW (4X 250MW). 1.1 GENERAL PROJECT FEATURES The Naba HE Project envisages construction of

STUDIES/INVESTIGATIONS UNDERTAKEN Study of topographic maps and remote sensing imageries. Reconnaissance of area for identifying probable alternative sites of project components. Study of regional geotechnical features/ seismotectonic aspects. Geological appraisal of proposed project components. Water availability & design flood studies based on available meteorological / hydrological data.
Conceptual layout and project planning. Power potential studies. Study of biotic environment, socio-economic environment for prediction of environmental impacts of the project. Study of existing infrastructure. Cost benefit and Economic evaluation. Geophysical investigations are not expected to provide reliable results because of steep topography. Accordingly, geophysical methods are not attempted. 1.3 RESULTS OF STUDIES AND INVESTIGATIONS
1.3.1 Geology The entire project is located in biotite gneiss rocks of Gelensiniak Formation. These are hard jointed metamorphic rocks. The dam site has been chosen in a relatively straight reach of the river where rocks are exposed on both the banks of narrow valley. From regional geological assessment it is expected that entire HRT and underground power house will also be constructed in biotite gneiss rocks. 1.3.2 Hydrology The river Subansiri/ Si Ngit drains a catchment area of about 14300 sq. km at the proposed damsite. The water availability for the project has been considered on the basis of 10-daily discharge series for 20 year synthetic flow series at Subansiri Upper dam site, located d/s of this project on the Subansiri river itself, on the basis of catchment proportion. The computed inflow series worked out has been utilised for Power Potential studies. The design flood is assessed as 12000 cumec at dam site.
1.3.3 Infrastructure In order to complete the project in 6 years, broad Infrastructure requirements such as road network ( including upgradation of roads) project office, residential colonies, arrangement for construction power, explosive magazine, telecommunication etc. have been identified and provision has been made in the cost estimate of the project. The project is located in remote corner of Arunachal Pradesh. Area is connected by a 450 km long single lane road from Pahumara in Assam (Take-off point from NH-52). This road needs to be upgraded. Accordingly, provision for widening/strengthening of road sections/bridges has been kept in estimates of hydroelectric projects viz. Subansiri Middle, Upper, Dengser and Nalo, located downstream of this project. However, in case, Naba H.E. Project is to be taken up before construction of downstream projects, provision for R-Communication in the estimate shall need to be revised. 1.3.4 Power Potential Studies The computed inflow series for 20 years has been considered in the assessment of power benefits from the project. The design energy for tariff at 95 % availability in a 90% dependable year has been worked out 3995.25 MU. A live storage of 8 mcm has been provided in the dam which would enable the station to operate as peaking station. 1.3.5 Power Evacuation Aspects The power generated from the project would be evacuated at 400 KV level through one no. double circuit transmission line with Quad moose conductor line to pooling station proposed at Daporijo which in turn will be connected to National Grid. 9
1.3.6 Environmental Aspects The project is located in a remote area in the Subansiri Basin. The total land requirement for the construction of various components is 510 ha. Out of which 175 ha. is private land and remaining is forest land. Based on assessment of environmental impacts, management plans have to be formulated for catchment area treatment, Compensatory aforestation and other environmental issues. These issues would be addressed during the investigation of DPR. No major township will be submerged or affected due to construction of project 1.3.7 Estimate of Cost The project is estimated to cost Rs.4399.89 crores including IDC at June,2003 price level. The preliminary cost estimate of the project has been prepared as per guidelines of CEA/CWC. The break up of the cost estimate is given below: Civil Works Electro Mechanical Works Transmission Works Interest During Construction Grand Total : : : : : Rs. 3068.58 Crores Rs. 743.81 Crores Rs. 117.00 Crores Rs. 470.50 Crores Rs. 4399.89 Crores
1.3.8
Financial Aspects
The Naba HE Project, with an estimated cost of Rs.4399.89 Crores (including IDC of Rs.470.50 Cr) and design energy of 3995.25 MU in a 90% dependable year is proposed to be completed in 6 years. The tariff has been worked out considering a debt-equity ratio of 70:30; 16% return on equity, annual interest rate on loan at 10% and twelve percent free power to home state. The tariff for first year (with free power to home state) and levellised tariff is Rs.2.43 per unit and Rs.1.97 per unit
10
respectively. However, levellised tariff at present day cost without any free power to home state works out to be Rs.1.73 per unit. 1.3.9 Construction Schedule The main infrastructure development is proposed to be initiated simultaneously with preparation of DPR for which a provision of 18 months will be kept and completed in initial 12 months after taking up construction (Stage-III activity) of the project. Main construction activity is planned to be completed in 6 years. 1.4 CONCLUSION The project would afford a design energy of 3995.25 MU in a 90% dependable year. The cost per MW installed works out to Rs.4.40 Cr. The tariff for first year and levellised tariff have been worked out as Rs.2.43 per unit and Rs.1.97 per unit respectively (with provision of 12% free power to home state). The Preliminary Feasibility Report indicates that the scheme merits consideration for taking up for survey and Investigation and preparation of DPR. Nevertheless, it may be mentioned that MOEF has imposed ban on construction of dam on Subansiri River upstream of Subansiri Lower Project. Accordingly, matter needs to be taken up with MOEF for review and lifting of ban before taking up investigation work leading to preparation of DPR.

CHAPTER-II BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.0 GENERAL
Subansiri River is a major tributary of Brahmaputra contributing about 10% of its total discharge. It has its origin in the Central Himalayas in Tibet at an approximate altitude of 5340 m. Traversing through the snow clad mountains of Great Himalayas, it enters India in its North-East corner in Arunachal Pradesh. The river bed level of it drops from more than 4000 m height in the mountainous region to less than 100 m in the foothills before it enters the plains of Assam promising stupendous hydropower potential with snowmelt combining with heavy rainfall it receives in its catchment ensuring significant discharge in the river throughout the year. 2.1. PROPOSALS FOR HARNESSING HYDRO-POWER POTENTIAL OF SUBANSIRI BASIN To harness hydro-power potential of Subansiri river and to derive benefits of flood moderation, DPR of Subansiri dam project (4800 MW) was prepared by Brahmaputra Board during April 1983. But the project could not be taken up for execution because of objections from Arunachal Pradesh Govt. on account of large submergence of its land and consequent displacement of inhabitants. development over river Subsequently, cascade Subansiri was planned considering three
projects namely Subansiri Lower HE Project at Gerukamukh over river Subansiri (2,000 MW), Subansiri Middle project at Tamen over river Kamla (1,600 MW) and Subansiri Upper Project at Menga over river Subansiri (2,000 MW).
12
CCEA approval for taking up of Subansiri Lower HE Project stands already accorded and as such project has come under construction stage. The commercial viability of Subansiri Upper and Subansiri Middle project stands already accepted by CEA. Work of preparation of DPR for above two projects is in progress. In addition to the above 3 mega projects in Subansiri basin, 8 more projects have been taken up for pre-feasibility study on priority basis under 50,000 MW Hydro-electric Initiative launched by Honble Prime Minister of India launched in May, 2003. In fact, CEA has conducted Ranking Study for harnessing the balance Hydropower potential available in the country and identified 399 Schemes to add further 1,07,000 MW to narrow the gap between supply and demand of power in the interest of sustained growth of the country. In its first phase, 162 projects are taken up for pre-feasibility study to be completed within 10-18 months with a projected capacity addition of 50,560 MW. These projects are expected to be developed expeditiously within next 10 years. Eight new projects identified for preparation of PFR (Preliminary Feasibility Report) in Subansiri basin under 50,000 MW Hydroelectric Initiative were Naba, Niare, Oju-I & II, Kurung - I & II , Hegio and Duimukh. Kurung-I & II projects have been clubbed and named as Kurung HE
Project. Further, Heigo project has been found to be located within submergence of proposed Subansiri Middle Project. As such, in lieu of these two projects, two schemes namely Nalo & Dengser located in between Naba project and Subansiri Upper Project have been added to list of PFR projects in Subansiri Basin. Proposed cascade development over river Subansiri is enclosed as Plate 2.1. Naba HE Project is envisaged as a run-of-the-river Scheme on Si Ngit (Subansiri) river. It is located at about 160 km up stream of Daporijo As per Ranking town in Upper Subansiri District in Arunachal Pradesh.
13
Study made by CEA, the Installed Capacity of the project was estimated to be 1290 MW. Location of the project is indicated in the vicinity map enclosed as Plate-2.2. 2.2 EVOLUTION OF CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT OF NABA HE SCHEME 2.2.1 CEA Proposal CEA in its Re-assessment Studies observed that down stream of proposed Power House of Niare HE Scheme, the reach of the river is steep and there is possibility of another Hydropower Project. The proposal of the CEA for this project by the name of Naba Hydro Electric Scheme is as under,Immediately downstream of the power house under Niare hydro electric scheme, the reach of the river is steep and appears to permit development of another hydro electric scheme of run-of-river type by constructing a diversion of a small height at a site where the river bed level is +1000m diverting the waters through a 11.5 km long channel to a power house to be located on the river where the river bed level is +800 m. The scheme would utilise a gross head of about 200 m and enable generation of 308 MW of firm power at the power house. With an optimum economic installed capacity of 1290 MW, the scheme would give benefit of 6038 GWH and 6915 GWH of annual energy respectively in 90% and 50% dependable years. (Annexure-2.1) 2.2.2 NHPC Proposal The proposed Naba HE Project sites were inspected by NHPC officers. Based on the topographical and geological inputs as collected, the NHPC opined that the channel alternative is not feasible. It proposed three alternatives for the schemes with the following parameters, -
14
ALT 1 Bed Level Tail Race Level Tunnel Length 1000 m 800 m 10.5 Km
ALT 2 1000 m 800 m 9.5 Km
ALT 3 1000 m 850 m 7.5 Km
These three alternatives are discussed with CEA Authorities on 09.10.2003. In the discussion, the ALT-2 was considered to be more attractive than the other two alternatives with provision for shifting of dam site down stream, if required, for providing necessary pondage for peaking operation. Summary Record of the discussion held with CEA is enclosed as Annexure-2.2 . Subsequently, NHPC reviewed the parameters of Naba HE Project taking into account the other three proposed up-stream projects namely Oju-I, Oju-II and Niare with the preliminary data/ information collected during site visits. In the ALT-2, the dam site is shifted downstream where River Bed Level is El 945 m. This proposal alongwith the parameters for the other three projects were taken up for discussion with CEA on 03.12.03 for vetting. Summary Record of the Meeting is enclosed as Annexure-2.3. Further, details of various alternative locations considered for finalising layout of Naba HE Project are given in Chapter-VI. At Naba HE project, it is proposed to construct a 110 m high concrete dam with provision for live storage of 8 MCM for peaking operation, 2 nos of Head race tunnel of length 9.75/9.80 km, 2 nos of 23m dia surge shaft, 7.25m dia steel lined pressure shaft and 1000 MW underground power house. Based on the limited available hydro meteorological data, hydrological studies have been carried out and a synthetic 90 % dependable water availability series developed for undertaking power potential studies. As
15
per power potential studies the installed capacity works out to 1000 MW. The design energy on a 90% dependable year works out to 3995.25 MU. Based on preliminary observations and study of available information, no major area of cultivable land is available around the proposed project area needing irrigation. As such, there is no scope for development of irrigation in this project. However, this aspect needs to be examined during feasibility stage investigations. PFR of Naba HE Project has been made in accordance with the scope of work and keeping in mind observations/ comments of CEA(Annexure 2.4) 2.3 POWER SCENARIO & EXISTING INSTALLATION
The power system in India has grown from small, isolated stations, serving limited consumers in and around large cities, into large regional Grids. The generating capacity installed in the country has already grown to 107643.70 MW by March 2003. The objective of the system development is to evolve self-sufficient regional grid catering to the individual regional power demands. It is also aimed at achieving the maximum benefits from integrated operation, through a proper mix of thermal and hydro generation and ultimately to tie the five regional grids together to form a robust National Power Grid, providing even greater reliability. At present Arunachal Pradesh Electricity Board has its own hydel generation of 32.52 MW and diesel generation of 23.64 MW. Share of Arunachal Pradesh in Central Sector Power Generation is around 117.0 MW (includes gas based Power projects)

2.4
NECESSITY OF THE PROJECT & RELATED ASPECTS
The power position in the North Eastern region and all India power supply position have been summarized in Table-2.1 and Table-2.2. The benefits from all schemes that have been cleared by CEA have been included. Even considering the co-ordinated operation of existing hydro, nuclear and thermal stations as well as benefits from ongoing projects and also from the scheme cleared by CEA and programmed for implementation in 10th Plan, the all India regions are expected to face power deficit in 10th five year plan. The regions will continue to remain in deficit in 11th Five year plan also except in North-Eastern region as it is evident from Table-2.1 even if all the cleared projects till date are implemented. The surplus in North-Eastern region is planned to be exported to regions having deficit. However, country as a whole will suffer from energy deficit even by the end of 11th plan as shown in Table-2.2. Construction of Naba HE Project will reduce this deficit.

CHAPTER- III PROJECT AREA

3.0 THE PROJECT
The Naba HE Project is located in upper reaches of Subansiri River near Badok village. It is about 160 km from Daporijo town. In fact, hydropower potential of the river Subansiri is proposed to be harnessed through cascade of several projects, viz., Oju-I, Oju-II, Niare, Naba, Nalo, Dengser, Subansiri Upper Project and Subansiri Lower Project. The proposed dam site of Naba project is accessible through DaporijoLimeking road.
Naba Hydroelectric Project comprises of 110 m high dam, with 9.75/9.80 km long HRT, 23 m dia surge shaft, 7.25 m dia steel lined pressure shaft and 1000 MW underground power house
3.1 RIVER SYSTEM River Subansiri originates in Tibet at an altitude of around 5340 m beyond the Great Himalayan Range (Central Himalayas) and after traversing about 375 km joins the Brahmaputra river. The river flows through narrow gorge in most part of its length and generally follows an easterly direction up to Siyum, and, thereafter it takes a south-easterly course upto its confluence with Kamla. Thereafter, it flows in a southerly direction upto Kherkatiasuti and flowing for another 60 km (approx.) in south-westerly direction it confluences with the mighty Brahmaputra River. It is one of the largest right bank tributary of Brahmaputra and contributes about 10% of its total discharge. Major tributaries joining the Subansiri river in the project area are Laru chu, Nye chu, Yume chu, Sang chu, Ikte nallah, Gazi nallah, Koter nallah, Ghaghu nallah, Mazang nallah, Kopu Nallah, Libi
20
nallah, Thru nallah, Bate nallah, and Rembung nallah. These tributaries exhibit Trellis and Dendritic pattern of drainage. The total length of main tributaries of Subansiri is 1960 km. Major villages/ towns located in the vicinity of project area are Nacho, Nelu and Limeking. 3.2 LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
The project area is located near Limeking village. An all weather metalled road connects Limeking with Daporijo, the district headquarter of Upper Subansiri district. Dam site of Naba HE Project is located at about 5 km u/s of Limeking and Powerhouse site is located at about 20 km d/s of Limeking. Limeking is about 160 km from Daporijo and is easily accessible by all weather Limeking - Daporijo road. Major villages/ towns present along the Daporijo- Limeking road are Taliha, Kodak, Siyum, Ayingmoring, Nacho & Limeking. However, beyond Limeking road condition is very bad and presently upto a distance of 7 km there exists only a fair weather motorable road. Proposed dam site is accessible by road on right bank of the river from Limeking. This is however only a fair weather road in poor condition as mentioned above. The left bank of the river at proposed dam site is almost inaccessible due to dense forest cover and steep rocky escarpment. The proposed powerhouse site is located on left bank of the river near villages Nelu and Naba and these sites can be approached only by crossing the Suabnsiri river through cane bridge located near Nelu village. All along, in this stretch also, the left bank is extremely difficult to traverse because of forest cover and steep rocky slopes. The nearest meter guage and broadguage railhead is North Lakhimpur and Nagaon respectively. Nearest airport is at North Lakhimpur (Lilabari) in Assam. Besides, there are helipads at Daporijo, Nacho, Limeking, Reddi & Taksing and these are frequently used by army helicopters. 21
3.3 CLIMATIC CONDITION The area experiences a subtropical climate with temperatures fluctuating from 00 to 100 during Winter and 200-250 during Summer. Ice-cold winds blow during the morning and evening hours of the winter season. Monsoon commences during May and lasts till the end of September. Nevertheless scanty rains are also common during winter season. Average annual rainfall is about 2825 mm. The relative humidity ranges from maximum 94% to minimum 62%. 3.4 SOCIO- ECONOMIC ASPECTS
The project area is located in the Upper Subansiri District in Arunachal Pradesh sharing the International Boundary with China in the North. Upper catchment of Subansiri Basin in Indian territory falls in this district. The area is inhabited mainly by the people from the Nyshis, Tagin community, Galos and Hill Miris. Most of the population belongs to the Tagins in the vicinity of the project area. The main livelihood of the population is cultivation. They commonly practice terrace and jhoom cultivation. 3.4.1 Demography The district is divided into 11(eleven) circles. The district has a diverse terrain extending over valleys of lower altitude to heights upto 18000 ft. Taksing is the remotest Circle bordering Tibet. It has snow bound peaks where no habitation exists. The Upper Subansiri District has an area of 7032 sqkm. The total
population of the district is 50,086 (1991 census). The population density is approximately 8 persons per sq.km in the district. The male population is 26,823 and the female population is 23,263. There is no educational institution above higher secondary level. There are 3 nos. of Higher
22
Secondary Schools and 6 nos. of High Schools in the district. There are 3 nos. of Middle Schools and 5 nos. of Primary Schools in the vicinity of the project area within the Nacho and Limeking Circles. As such, overall scenario suggests a low literacy rate in the district. Population of Nacho and Limeking circle is 3404 and 863 persons respectively. Circle wise population pattern of the Upper Subansiri District is presented in tabulated form (Table 3.1) below. The figures are taken from Statistical Hand Book of Upper Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh, 2000 edition.

3.4.2 Ethnography Race: The people of Arunachal Pradesh have been generally described as descendants of Mongoloid, Paleo mongoloid and Proto-mongoloid race. The distinctive characteristics of the tribes in their language, dress, customs and food habits are direct reflection of the type of environment they live in - in geographical isolation over a long period of time. Tribes: There are about 25 major groups with a number of sub-groups found in the state. In the Census report of 1961, 1971 and 1981as many as 80,110 tribes and 105 sub-tribes were described. Census reports of 1991 and 2001 however did not include any tribal classification. The major tribes found in the project area are Tagin and Nyishi. These ethnic populations usually live in different groups called busthi in the local language. Each busthi generally comprises of 15-25 homesteads. The houses (constructed of wood, bamboo and thatches) are usually raised over a platform of logs about 3-4 feet above the ground. Social structure: The tribals of Arunachal Pradesh have highly ordered and organised system of functioning in their villages. All matters relating to the community as a whole are decided at the village level. The socioadministrative structure of the society, as evolved over a period of centuries, recognises democratic participation right down to the village level. Several self-governing institutions exist among these tribes. Such a structure of Nyshis in the area is locally known as Nyele. Agriculture: Jhum cultivation is one of the predominant forms of agriculture even today. Efforts are on to control this form of practice as this results in cutting of forest trees & degradation of slopes. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. Only a few are working as traders, daily wage labourers or salaried employees. Of late, these people are adopting other forms of agriculture like Wet Rice Cultivation (WRC) and Terrace Rice Cultivation (TRC). 24
Festival: Four main festivals are observed by the various communities of the district. These are, (i) Si-Donyi, (ii) Boori-Yullo, (iii) Boori- Boot and (iv) Mopin. The Tagin community celebrates the festival of Si-Donyi in the month of January. They are the prominent community residing in the project vicinity. Nyishis celebrates the Boori-Yullo festival during the month of January. The Hill Miris community observes Boori-Boot festival during the month of February. The Galo community celebrates the Mopin festival during the month of April. There is another festival known as Losar observed by the people of Taksing area in the month of February.

CHAPTER-IV TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS

4.0 INTRODUCTION
The Geological Survey of India has prepared a Preliminary Appraisal Report entitled Geology of area around the proposed Naba Hydroelectric Project, Subansiri Basin, Arunachal Pradesh (Jan04). This appraisal (Annexure 4.1) is the main source of geological inputs for evaluating geotechnical aspects of the project. Nevertheless, proposed sites were visited by NHPC geologists to collect site specific geotechnical details. Topographic and geological aspects of the area have been used while finalizing conceptual layout of the project (Plate-4.1) 4.1 REGIONAL TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
The river Subansiri originates from Tibet and after traversing 375 km joins the Brahmaputra River. At the project site river flows in an almost W-E direction carving out a very narrow valley. Project area in general is characterised by rugged topography typical of Himalayan terrain. Geomorphologically, the area is composed of high mountain ridges with steep slopes and deep incised valleys carved by Subansiri river and perennial nallahs joining Subansiri river. The Project area falls within higher Himalayas. At the proposed dam site river valley is about 50 m wide followed by gentle slope at both the banks for a short stretch until the slope becomes steep because of presence of steep rocky escarpments. Rock present at the dam site is slightly weatherd Biotite Gneiss. Geologists of G.S.I. (Surendra singh, K.V.S
26
Reddy, C.M.Bindal, B.V.Ganesh and K.K. Rao, 1985-86) have carried out regional geological mapping in this area. 4.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The tectono-stratigraphic sequence of upper Subansiri area as given by Singh at (1986) is reproduced below from GSI (Jan,2004) report (Table-4.1) Table- 4.1: Generalised Geological Succession Group Formation S U B A N S I R I G R O U P Nacho Formation Maza Granite Taksing Formation Litho-assemblages Tourmaline leucogranite with biotite gneiss and hornblende gneiss Schistose quartzite interbanded with staurolite-garnet-biotite schists, calsilicate, marble, meta-amphibolites Galensiniak Formation Kyanite-sillimanite-garnet migmatite calc-silicate graphitic graphitic schists. Schistose Quartzite intercalated and interbanded with biotite schist. -----------------------------------------Kobaso Thrust------------------------------------Tali Group Massive quartzite, limestone/dolomite, phyllite and slate gneiss, rock, biotite gneiss, gneiss, garnetiferous biotite gneiss, marble with disseminations,
27
Maza Granites Tourmaline leucogranites, extensively exposed at Maza and further north towards International Border with China have been designated as Maza Granites. It is light grey fine grained and profusely jointed. Maza Granites show hypidiomorphic granitar texure. Orthoclase, plagioclase and quartz are its amin mineral constituents. These are of intrusive igneous origin. Taksing Formation The metasedimentaries of Subansiri Valley constituting the Taksing Formation are exposed in a NE-SW trending belt and are encountered between Reddi and Taksing in Subansiri valley and also between Gelmo and Ridding in thre Tsari-Chu. White to light grey and fine quartzite constitute the dominant lithounit of the Taksing Formation. Interbands of staurolite garnet biotite- schist are commom in the Quartzite. Galensiniak Formation The Galensiniak Formation is most extensively developed in the Subansiri Valley. Various types of gneisses belonging to this formation are biotite gneiss, garnetiferrous biotite gneiss and kyanite- sillimanite gneiss. These can be distinguished in the field on the basis of appearance of index minerals such as Garnet, Kyanite, Sillimanite etc. Each type of gneiss forms a distinct belt and have gradational contacts with one another. In the project area light grey colured fine to medium grained well foliated biotite gneiss is exposed. Nacho Formation It constitutes a litho-assemblage of white to light brown coloured schistose-quartzite, intercalated as well as interbanded with dark biotite schist. At Nacho the biotite schist bands show preponderence over the quartzite. Further west dark grey biotite schist is well exposed. Near Dogi
28
Nalo, the Nacho Formation grades into overtyping Gelensiuiak Formation. The quartzite, phyllite, limestone representing Tali Group are exposed around Mara in southeastern corner. These are overridden by the medium to high grade metamorphics and crystallines of the Subansiri Group along the Kabaso Thrust. 4.3 TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF
COMPONENT STRUCTURES To substantiate topographic/geological data entire area has been traversed and site specific information has been collected. A geological specific information has been collected across the river near proposed dam site (Plate-4.2), based on surface observations. There is no possibility of deploying geophysical survey techniques to assess overburden in the river bed because of narrow valley and steep slopes. 4.3.1 Dam At the proposed site river flows through a moderate U shaped valley. Abutments are steep, dotted with rock out crops. Width of the channel is about 50 m (Plate-4.2). Here, medium grained, dark grey coloured almost fresh to slightly weathered biotite gneiss of Galensiniak Formation is exposed. Rock is foliated and moderate to closely jointed, dissected by three to four prominent joint sets. The foliation is dipping gently (1700/150). Overburden on abutments appear to be thin Depth of overburden in the river channel is not known at this stage. This needs to be ascertained through exploratory drilling during feasibility / DPR stage Investigations.
29
4.3.2 Water Conductor System The steep topography all along the valley with deeply dissected hill slopes by cross drainages do not favour construction of a water channel as initially envisaged in CEAs proposal. Topography, geomorphology and geology are favourable for laying a tunnel on the left bank. Proposed head race tunnel would be laid in well foliated moderate to closely jointed light grey coloured fine to medium grained botite gneiss of Galensiniak Formation. 4.3.3 Power House The underground powerhouse is proposed on left bank near Naba village. It will be housed in moderate to closely joined dark grey coloured biotite gneiss of Galensiniak Formation. 4.4 SEISMICITY
Seismotectonically, the area falls in the seismic zone V of seismic zoning map of India (IS-1893: Part- I :2002). Site specific design parameters need to be worked out during Feasibility stage Investigations of the project. 4.5 CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
The Subansiri River flows through a narrow valley. There are very few river shoals or small terraces of riverine material, seen along course of the river. Hence, very limited quantities of natural aggregates are expected to be available from riverine shoals / terraces. Therefore, samples from rock exposed around dam site and in reservoir area may be tested for using this material as coarse and fine aggregates for production of concrete. Excavated muck from underground excavations may also be used for concrete aggregates, if found suitable after testing. Detailed construction material surveys may be conducted to identify borrow areas and rock
30
quarries. Quality and quantity of material for each borrow area and rock quarry may also be ascertained during FR/DPR stage investigations. 4.6 RECOMMENDATIONS INVESTIGATIONS 4.6.1 Topographic Surveys Detailed contour plans for Dam, Water Conductor System, powerhouse and reservoir areas as per CWC guidelines. Cross- section of river at dam site and along other main components of the project. 4.6.2 Geological Geotechnical Studies Detailed geological mapping of project components. Petrographic studies on rock samples. Drill holes and exploratory drifts at dam axis, water conductor system and various components in the powerhouse area. Permeability / water pressure testing in drill holes. One or two sets of Groutability tests should also be done. Lab / In-situ rock mechanic testing for evaluation of physical properties and engineering properties of the rock mass. Geophysical surveys for estimation of overburden at main civil structures. 4.6.3 Remote Sensing Studies Regional geological appraisal of the area using remote sensing data and aerial photographs. Preparation of lineament/ tectonic map of the area. Landuse classification using toposheets and Satellite imageries. FOR FURTHER STUDIES /

CHAPTER V HYDROLOGY
5.0 GENERAL
Naba H.E. Project is proposed on river Subansiri a tributary of Brahmaputra river, near Badok, u/s of Doloring village in Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. The proposed dam site is located just upstream of confluence of Gazi Nadi with Subansiri, a right bank tributary of Subansiri river. The project envisages construction of 95 m high dam on Singit or Subansiri River with a gross storage capacity of 31.9 M.cum at FRL i.e EL 1035 m. The submergence area is estimated as 81.28 Ha at FRL whereas the reservoir length is measured as around 5 km. The hydrological investigations and analysis have been carried out with a view to: Assess the availability of water for power generation by establishing a long-term series of average 10-daily discharges at the project site. Estimate the spillway design flood. Determine the capacity of the reservoir and the area of submergence at different levels including FRL and MDDL. 5.1 Reservoir Sedimentation RIVER SYSTEM & BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
Subansiri is a major right bank tributary of river Brahmaputra. The river originates beyond the Great Himalayan Range (Central Himalaya) at an altitude of around 5340 m. Near its source, several mountain torrents, rather a big Chu family of streams, drains into main valley. The principal
33
stream belonging to this Chu group is the Nye Chu which may be considered as the main source of the river Subansiri originating from the snow clad peaks of Krakang, Shabota, Baru and Mata (El 5389 m) lying around 92o and 93o E longitudes and 28o and 29o N latitudes. The Nye Chu is then joined by another stream Laro Chu near Chayal and thereby taking the name of Chayal Chu. Another stream the Char Chu rising from the snow clad peaks in the North joins the main stream the Chyal Chu near Karutra and crosses the international boundary soon after. A small distance from the boundary, Yume Chu flowing from the north merges with mainstream. After flowing further it receives the Tsari Chu and the combined water of these streams flow as the Subansiri for about 200 km from this point finally outfalling into Kherkutia Suti, a spill channel of the Brahmaputra. In higher reaches, where it is known as Tsari chu, the Subansiri is flowing in an approximately westerly direction. The river cuts across the central Himalayan ridge, which has a series of high peaks of 5000 m and above. It follows a Southeasterly course along the lesser Himalayan zone with an average height of 3048 m and takes the name Subansiri. The river as it approaches the Miri hills in Arunachal Pradesh after crossing the international boundary runs in an unexplored valley and the course of the main river and its tributaries are more or less marked on conjectural lines rather than by accurate mapping. In its early reaches as the river gathers more and more torrents in the Himalayas, it rushes through deep gorges, far below the snow tipped mountain peaks. The main course of the Subansiri after entering the Miri hills in Arunachal Pradesh runs between the Dafla hills and the Abor hills. Even in this reach, very little is known of the river and its valley as it is covered with dense vegetation and impenetrable forests. It is an enormous virgin terrain of rugged mountains, covered by insatiable forest, fed by copious rains.
34
After traversing through the Miri Hills of the outer Himalaya (Siwalik foothills), the Subansiri debouches into the plains of Assam near Dulangmukh. Before entering the plains, Subansiri cuts a steep gorge of unique beauty through the Siwalik rocks of Arunachal Himalaya. Debouching from the hills near Dulangmukh the course of river lies in the fertile plains of North Lakhimpur Civil Sub-Division of Assam. In the broad and flat valley, the river flows in lazy and sinuous curves. The total length of the river in the mountainous terrain is about 208 km. The riverbed falls from a height of 4206 m to 80 m near Dulangmukh in the foothills. After flowing for about 70 km from the hills, the river falls in to the Kherkutia Suti and thereafter flowing for another 60 km it outfalls into the river Brahmaputra. Throughout its journey from the central Himalaya to the Arunachal foothills, the Subansiri receives the discharges of numerous mountainous big and small streams. The number of its tributaries is more in the Siwalik foothills than in other zones. The total length of the known and well-defined tributaries of Subansiri is 1960 km. The region may be divided into four parts; the distant Tibetan mountains beyond the international border, the reach lying between the international boundary and Miri hills of Arunachal Pradesh, the Arunachal Pradesh portion between the outskirt of Miri hills and the interstate boundary of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and lastly the plains of Assam. The first two belongs to the great Himalayan range, the third belonging to the SubHimalayas and the fourth in the fertile plains of Assam. Tibet, the birthplace of Subansiri is a land to conjure with. In the mountains, blinding snow and ice build vast bewildering expanses. The streams flow beneath the ice in winter, which have their turn in summer when they melt and flow down the valleys lined up on either side with rows of white snow. In this region are found towns, highly inaccessible in their mountain retreats.
35
Down below in the region between the Miri hills of Arunachal Pradesh and international boundary, the river passes through damp thick jungles and rocky terrain. The next reach is also in mountain terrain. These are the Sub-Himalayas, the pattern of the hills and valleys being the same imposition of the Himalayan range at a lower altitude. In the vastness of wild mountains, there are unbelievable settlements of human habitation. In the last lap of journey Subansiri passes through a broad fertile plain with gentle slopes. Debouched from the narrow confines of the gorge, it spreads and dissipates itself out in the plains of Lakhimpur District meandering and altering channels of flow. The topography of this region is almost flat formed of alluvial deposits. The river Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh flows through Upper and Subansiri Lower districts and in Assam its catchment area falls in the North Lakhimpur and Dhemaji districts. The contribution of the river Subansiri is estimated to be about 10.66 percent of the total discharge of the river Brahmaputra at Pandu near Guwahati. The total catchment area of Subansiri basin is 37000 sq.km, out of which about 14000 sq.km lies in Tibet. The snow line or limit of perpetual snow in the Himalaya varies depending upon various local factors. The present snow line varies in altitude from about 4267 m in the eastern part to about 5182 m in the western Himalayas. The catchment plan of Subansiri along with rainfall stations, G&D sites marked is shown in Plate5.1.
36
5.1.1 Catchment Area The Naba basin lies between Longitude 91o45 E to 93o34E and Latitude 27o00 N to 28o22 N. The proposed dam site lies at Longitude 93o3400 E and Latitude 28o2200 N. The total catchment area up to the proposed dam site is about 14300 sq.km. The permanent snow cover has been assumed above an elevation of 4500 m. The snowfed area at proposed dam site has been estimated as 9484 sq.km. The rainfed area upto the proposed dam site is 4816 sq.km. The river bed level at the proposed dam site is around EL 945 m. Average slope of river upto proposed dam site is estimated as around 30 m per km. The catchment plan of Subansiri Upper basin upto Naba dam site is given in Plate-5.2. This catchment plan has been prepared on the basis of catchment plan prepared for the Subansiri basin by Brahmaputra Board and then by NHPC. Toposheets of 1:50000 scale covering the catchment area of the basin are not available and as most of the area falls in Tibetan catchment, therefore it is difficult to collect them in feasibility stage also. However on availability of toposheets, the catchment plan need to be verified in feasibility stage/DPR stage. 5.1.2 Temperature and Humidity The climate in the entire region is humid and fairly uniform. Thick mist formation from early morning everyday, which completely envelope the area and blocks out the sun is generally, the climatic feature during winter. The temperature varies from high altitude to lower altitude. The maximum and minimum temperature is 39.5oC and 11.5oC as observed at Menga. The relative humidity ranges from maximum 94% to minimum 62%.
37
5.1.3 Precipitation Characteristics Subansiri basin extends from tropical to temperate zones and therefore the area exhibits a great diversity in rainfall characteristics. In the Northern and Central Himalayan tracts precipitation is scarce on account of high altitudes. Southeast part of the Subansiri basin comprising the sub-Himalayan and the plain tract in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, lies in the tropics. Precipitation occurs in this region in copious quantities due to Northeast as well as Southwest monsoon. Particularly the Southwest monsoon causes very heavy precipitation in the whole of this region during May to October. July and August are generally the high flood months. The Eastern and Central Himalayas function as a great climate divide. In winter, it serves as a barrier to the intense cold continental air flowing southwards and in monsoon months, the moist rain bearing winds are forced up the mountains to deposit their moisture. The southwest monsoon, which enters Assam and adjoining area around end of May and beginning of June establishes firmly over the entire North East India by June end. During the monsoon season a low-pressure region extends from the seasonal low over Rajasthan to the head of Bay of Bengal. This monsoon axis oscillates about the normal position to the North and South during the season. When it moves North towards the foothills of Himalaya the rainfall over Assam increases and this is one of the primary causes of flood in the Brahmaputra Valley. Sometimes a minor east west oriented trough over Assam and West Bengal, while the primary trough is along normal position, can also give rise to increased precipitation over the Brahmaputra catchment. Land based low and depressions form in situ over Assam and adjoining region or move across Bangladesh and influence in increasing the precipitation over the various reaches of Brahmaputra Valley.
38
The other features that normally cause increased precipitation over the Brahamputra basin are passage of upper air trough in the monsoon westerlies and sometimes by the appearance of the remnants of mid latitude western disturbances over extreme North Arunachal Pradesh in conjunction with other precipitation causing features. The above account of weather and precipitation distribution is influenced by local orographic effects, with minor ranges, spurs, valleys of different width and narrow gaps permitting winds to enter from particular direction, in the sheltered valleys. The orography of the catchment is so complex that a detailed study would be possible only with a dense network of observatories. The other meteorological situation causing very heavy rainfall is the passage of cyclonic storms, originating in Bay of Bengal, over the area. This is generally noted in late May or June and in late September or October, when the cyclonic storm developing over the Bay initially moves towards approximately 20oN. The raingauge network in Subansiri Upper basin is not as per desired standards. No raingauge station is available within the catchment of Naba H.E. Project. Upper Project. Naba. NHPC has established rain gauge stations at Taliha, Siyum, Menga, Daporijo, Dumporijo, and Limeking in respect of Subansiri Out of these raingauge stations namely Taliha, Siyum and Limeking lies near Naba dam site, though outside the catchment of Data Availability status of raingauge stations near Naba is placed as Table 5.1.

Further, it is not truly representative of entire basin. The raingauge stations could not be established due to inaccessibility and poor infrastructure of this region. Also most of the portion of this basin falls in Tibet. Monthly rainfall at all three stations for each year is given as Annexure 5.1A, 5.1B and 5.1C. Average monthly rainfall in near the catchment of proposed project is shown in Table 5.2. The average annual rainfall in the vicinity of the Naba sub-basin is around 2825 mm.

WATER AVAILABILITY STUDY
5.2.1 Data Available Gauge and discharge data is not available anywhere in the catchment of Naba H.E. Project. Due to difficult condition of communication, accessibility and terrain, despite continuous efforts, much information about the discharge pattern in the catchment of proposed project could not be obtained. On the basis of available data and information the study has been made. However, few G&D sites has been established by various agencies within the Subansiri basin as detailed below. Brahmaputra Flood Control Commission (BFCC)/ Brahmaputra Board established a gauge discharge site at Daporijo 25 km d/s of Subansiri Upper dam site in 1978. The gauge and discharge Station at Bhimparaghat located 15 km downstream of the Subansiri Lower dam site was established by Central water Commission in 1956, which was subsequently shifted, to Chouldhowaghat in 1960 located 12 km downstream of the Subansiri Lower dam site. In 1971 the site was taken over by B.F.C.C., Govt. of Assam. The gauge discharge site at Gorge Mouth was established in July 1973 located 2 km down stream of Subansiri Lower dam site, which was subsequently shifted to Subansiri Lower dam site in August 1977. A G&D site was established at Tamen on Kamla River, where gauge and discharge data is available from 1980 to 1998. NHPC has established G&D sites at Menga (260 m u/s of proposed dam site, operational since June 2000), Tamen Bridge (3 km d/s of Subansiri Middle dam site, operational since June 2000), Deo Nallah (situated at around 300 m d/s of Subansiri Lower dam site, operational since October 2000) and Chouldhowaghat (operational since December 2000). A G&D site has also been established on Pein River, which joins Kamla near Tamen Bridge. A gauge site is at Ferryghat, which is around 1.9 km d/s of
41
proposed Subansiri Lower dam site. At present, floats are being used to measure the velocity. Current meters are also used mainly in lean season. 5.2.2 Methodology The following methodology thought up to apply to obtain water availability series at proposed dam site. 5.2.2.1 Rainfall Runoff Relationship First option is to generate discharge series on the basis of rainfall data available in the basin. A rainfall-runoff regression analysis could be performed in Naba basin and the relationship so developed could be used to compute the discharge at proposed dam site. However this could not be done due to non-availability of discharge as well as rainfall for Naba sub basin. A runoff factor of 0.73 had been established after detailed rainfallrunoff analysis in Subansiri basin as discussed in feasibility report of Subansiri Upper Project. This factor could be used to compute runoff from rainfall. This methodology could also not be adopted because of the nonavailability of discharge and rainfall data within the Naba sub-basin. 5.2.2.2 Based on Discharge Series at Subansiri Upper Dam site Water availability study in Subansiri at Menga had been performed considering entire Subansiri river system as one, so as to maintain consistency in the flow at all the observation sites. After detailed analysis a 20-year synthetic flow series had been obtained at Subansiri Upper dam site (CA=20250 sq.km, Rainfed=9564 sq.km). This synthetically generated 20 years discharge series at Subansiri Upper dam site may be transferred to Naba dam site on the basis of Catchment proportion considering the two basins as hydro-meteorologically homogeneous. The catchment correction factor has been worked out as 0.504.
42
For the present, the second methodology (catchment proportion) has been adopted. The discharge series so obtained has been checked for the consistency with the rainfall data available near Naba basin. The runoff factor thus worked out as 0.72. However, this factor has been computed based on non-concurrent data base, therefore, detailed analysis need be done on availability of concurrent rainfall-runoff within the basin. The average 10 daily flow series at proposed dam site has been placed as Annexure-5.2. Average annual yield of at proposed dam site has been worked out as 9761.6 Mcum. After establishing gauging station near proposed dam site with proper raingauge network in Subansiri Upper basin, detailed water availability study need be conducted in feasibility stage/DPR stage.
5.3
RESERVOIR ELEVATION AREA CAPACITY CURVE
The reservoir elevation-area-capacity curve at proposed dam site has been obtained on the basis of 1:50000 toposheets at 40 m contour interval. Area under various contours at 40 m interval has been measured from the elevation of 960 m to 1120 m. The volume between any two elevations is calculated using the conical formula : V = (A1+A2+A1A2)*H/3 Where V = The volume between two contours H = Contour interval A1 = Area at level of first contour A2 = Area at level of second contour
43
The incremental volumes thus obtained are added to obtain cumulative volume. The reservoir elevation-area-capacity curve at proposed dam site is given in Figure-5.1. This curve is subjected to modification after availability of reservoir cross-sections or 1:15000 scale contour maps for the catchment. 5.4 DESIGN FLOOD
Design Flood for a project can be estimated by following approaches: (i) (ii) (iii) (i) Deterministic approach using Unit Hydrograph technique. Statistical approach using Flood frequency analysis Empirical methods Deterministic Approach Using Unit Hydrograph Technique Due to non-availability of G&D data, short term rainfall, hourly gauges etc, design storm values in the proposed catchment, rating curves and observed flood hydrographs could not be obtained for computing the Unit Hydrograph and Design Flood hydrograph. However, this approach has been used partially while transferring the flood of Subansiri Upper dam site to the proposed dam site. (ii) Statistical Approach Using Flood Frequency Analysis Due to non-availability of long term, consistent G&D data near the proposed scheme, flood frequency analysis could not be performed at the project site. (iii) Empirical Methods The following empirical relationships have been used to estimate the design flood peak:
44
Dickens Formula Q = CA 3/4
Where, C = Dickens constant with value between 11-14 for NorthIndian Hilly catchment. A value of 14 has been adopted in present study. A = Catchment area in sq.km Therefore Q = 14 x 4816 3/4 = 8094 cumec Fullers Formula Qmax = C.A 0.8(1+0.8logT)*(1+2.66A-0.3) Where, C = constant varying between 0.026 to 2.77 (2 adopted) in cumec A = Catchment Area in sq.km 1000 year Flood Q1000 =2 * 48160.8(1+0.8log(1000))*(1+2.66*4816-0.3) = 7262 cumec Ali Nawaz Jung Formula Q = C(0.386A)(0.925-1/14log0.386A) Where C = 49 to 60 (55 adopted) Q = 55* (0.386*4816)(0.925-1/14log(0.386*4816)) = 10023 cumec Qmax = Maximum 24-h flood with a frequency of T years
45
Transferring design flood at Subansiri Upper dam site on the basis of Dickens formula. 1-Day and 2-day PMF of 12226 cumec and 15210 cumec has been estimated at Subansiri Upper dam site (CA=20250 sq.km, Rainfed Area = 9564 sq.km). A base flow (including snow melt) of 3000 cumec had been assumed during computation of design flood by deterministic approach. The Naba H.E. Project is located upstream of this dam site. Catchments of both the projects can be considered as hydro-meteorologically homogeneous. Therefore, it seems logical to transpose the design flood value of Subansiri Upper dam site to proposed dam site. This transposition has been done by Dickens formula using a conversion factor of 0.598 at proposed dam site. The design flood based on 1-day PMF and 2-day PMF at Subansiri Upper dam site thus computed as 10308 cumec and 12092 cumec respectively.
A comparative study of flood peak computed by various methods is placed as Table-5.3. TABLE- 5.3 FLOOD COMPUTED BY VARIOUS METHODS S.No. 1 2 3 4 5 Method Dickens Formula Fullers Formula Ali Nawaz Jung Formula Transposition of 2-day PMF on the basis of Dickens formula. Transposition of 1-day PMF on the basis of Dickens formula. 10308 Flood Peak (cumec) 8094 7262 10023 12092
46
Based on above mentioned studies summarized in Table-5.3, for prefeasibility stage study, a design flood of 12000 cumec at dam site of the proposed project has been recommended. It is worth mentioning here that although deterministic approach of design flood computation has not been used in the present study for Naba sub basin, however, this approach has been used partially, as the design flood at Subansiri Upper dam site had been computed by this method only. The detail of design flood study may be referred in feasibility report of Subansiri Upper Project. On availability of more data/information, design flood need be estimated by deterministic approach using unit hydrograph technique and probabilistic approach using flood frequency analysis in feasibility stage/DPR stage. 5.5 RESERVOIR SEDIMENTATION
A rate of sedimentation of 0.057 Ham/Sq.km/Year has been established for Subansiri too. Detailed sediment study need be done during feasibility stage with more observed data at the proposed site using a suitable method. basin based on suspended sediment observations at Chouldhowaghat site. This silt rate may be adopted for Subansiri at Naba
47
5.6
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE STUDIES
The following are the improvements suggested for feasibility/DPR stage study: Proper raingauge network along with Gauge-discharge-sediment observation sites on Subansiri river near proposed dam site need be established before taking up preparation of feasibility report /DPR. After establishing gauge and discharge site on Subansiri river with proper raingauge network in Subansiri Upper basin, detailed water availability study need be conducted in feasibility/DPR stage. The reservoir elevation area capacity curve need be revised after availability of reservoir cross-sections or 1:15000 scale contour maps in feasibility/DPR stage study. On availability of more data/information, design flood need be estimated by deterministic approach using unit hydrograph technique and probabilistic reservoir approach using flood study frequency need be analysis done in feasibility/DPR stage. Detailed sedimentation during feasibility/DPR stage with observed data on Subansiri river at the proposed dam site using a suitable method. The observations of CWC along with reply of NHPC have been enclosed as Annexure-5.3 and need be referred during feasibility/DPR stage.

CHAPTER-VI CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT AND PLANNING

6.1 6.1.1 FINALISATION OF CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT CEA Proposal
The Naba H.E. Project is one of the new schemes identified by CEA in ranking study. As per CEAs proposal Naba H.E. Project is located immediately downstream of the power house of Niare H.E. Project on river Subansiri (called Si Ngit in upper reaches). It is a run of river scheme, which consists of diversion structure at river bed level EL 1000 m, a 11.5 km long channel and a power house with tail water outfall at river bed level EL 800 m. The scheme would utilize a gross head of about 200m and enable a firm power of 308 MW with optimum economic installed capacity of 1290 MW. The scheme would give benefit of annual energy of about 6038 GWh and 6915 GWh respectively in 90% and 50% dependable years. (Refer Annexure 2.1). 6.1.2 NHPC Proposal The proposed Naba H.E. Project site was inspected by NHPC Officers. Based on the topographical input (SOI topo sheet no 82H/11 in 1:50000 scale) and geological appraisal from Geological Survey of India and project authority, the proposal was prepared by NHPC and discussed with CEA/ CWC. The details of proposal are as under. The dam site location as proposed by CEA at river bed level EL 1000m is shifted about 3.3 km downstream near Badok at river bed level EL 945m, where river has carved out moderate U shaped valley with rocky abutments on both flanks. Power house location was considered with tail Based on topography, geology race outfall at river bed level EL 800 m.
50
of the area and presence of loops in river, head race tunnel is proposed on left bank as water conductor system instead of 11.5 km long power channel as proposed by CEA. During discussions with CEA / CWC, the NHPC proposal was found to be in order and NHPC was advised to proceed with preparation of PFR. (Refer Annexure 2.2 & Annexure 2.3) Alternative Studies a) Location of Dam axis Three alternative dam sites, namely, alternative-1, alternative-2, and alternative-3 located 1.8 km u/s, 0.2 km u/s, and 1.5 km d/s of IGMI Siko nallah respectively have been considered (location as indicated on Plate 6.1). At these locations the river bed level is about 1000 m, 965 m and 945 m respectively. Taking into account topographical, geological conditions and layout of the project, the dam axis (alt- 3) is preferred and ,as such, adopted for PFR preparation. Needless to mention that during detailed investigation for DPR preparation location of dam axis shall need to be reviewed. b) Location of Power house and layout of water conductor system Alternative of laying water conductor system on left as well as right bank of the river were examined. Keeping in view the existing river topography between proposed dam and power house locations, aligning the water conductor system on left bank results in shorter length. As such, the same has been adopted. During initial discussions with CEA for vetting of layout of the project, power house location was considered with tail race outfall at river bed level EL 800m. Subsequently, alternative location of power house with tailrace
51
outfall at EL 770m was also considered. The length of water conductor system in two alternatives works out to be 9.0 km and 10.5 km respectively. Thus, by providing about 1500 m long additional water conductor system, an additional head of 30m can be utilised. Accordingly, power house location with tail race outfall at river bed level EL 770 m has been adopted for PFR. Final layout of the project has been developed with dam at river bed level EL 945m, Power house with tail race out fall at river bed level EL 770 m and 9.75/9.80 km long water conductor system is proposed for PFR studies. Based on the topographical details (toposheets no 82 H/11 1: 50,000 scale) & geological details project layout has been developed. Various components of the project are: a) River diversion works comprising of 2 nos of 10.5 m diameter horseshoe shaped diversion tunnel with u/s and d/s cofferdams. b) c) 110 m high concrete gravity dam from deepest foundation level. Water conductor system consisting of i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) d) 2 nos Intake structure. 6 nos 300m (L) X16m (W) X23m (H) Desilting chamber. 2 nos 8.7m diameter horseshoe shaped headrace tunnel. 2 nos 23 m diameter surge shaft 2 nos of pressure shaft with 7.25 m dia each feeding 2 units. 2 nos 8.7 m diameter horseshoe shaped tailrace tunnel.
An underground power house consists of i) ii) 136m (L) X 23 m (W) X 48 m (H) powerhouse cavern 100 (L) X 20m (W) X 25m (H) transformer cum Draft Tube gates cavern iii) 100 m (L) X 12 m (W) X 16m (H) MIV Cavern.

Proposed general layout-plan and longitudinal section are enclosed as Plate-6.1& Plate-6.2. 6.2. PRELIMINARY DESIGN FEATURES
6.2.1 River Diversion Works 6.2.1.1 Diversion Tunnel No G&D data of river Subansiri near proposed location of Dam axis is available. As such, considering diversion discharge as worked out in case of Subansiri upper project located on d/s, the diversion tunnels shall be designed for passing a assumed non-monsoon flood of 2500 cumec. For the construction of concrete gravity dam and appurtenant works, the river diversion is proposed to be carried out through 2 nos of 10.5 m diameter concrete lined, horseshoe shaped diversion tunnels located on the right bank of the river. The length of diversion tunnels shall be about 700 m. 6.2.1.2 Coffer Dam
To facilitate river diversion, upstream and downstream cofferdams with central impervious core shall be provided. These coffer dams shall be located about 100 m u/s and 250 m d/s of the proposed dam axis. The height of u/s and d/s cofferdams shall be 25 m and 14m respectively. As the diversion scheme has been proposed to be designed to cater for nonmonsoon flood, cofferdams may get damaged during monsoon period and as such, shall require rebuilding before undertaking works in subsequent working season. 6.2.2 6.2.2.1 Dam Dam Location
Various alternative locations for dam axis were examined as indicated in para 6.1.2 above. At location near Badok about 3.3 km d/s of dam location
53
as proposed by CEA , river has carved out a moderate U-shaped valley with rocky abutments on both flanks exhibiting outcrops of biotite geneiss. As such this site has been adopted for PFR. 6.2.2.2 Type of Dam The IS code stipulates consideration of 1 in 100 year monsoon flood for diversion in case of an embankment dam and 1 in 25 years non-monsoon flood for concrete dam. Further, for effective reservoir flushing, requirement of low-level spillway necessitate provisions of concrete dam. In view of above, preliminary feasibility of the project has been examined with concrete gravity dam. However, it may be mentioned that based on the topographical and geological data collected during feasibility stage, if required, type of the dam shall be reviewed. 6.2.2.3 Fixation of FRL and MDDL The bed level of tailrace outfall of proposed Niare H.E. Project located upstream is EL 1045m, keeping the difference of about 10 m between tailrace outfall bed level of upstream project & FRL, the FRL for Naba project has been proposed as EL 1035 m. Needless to mention that during FR/DPR stage considering the finally adopted parameters of upstream Niare H.E. Project, FRL of Naba H.E. Project shall need to be optimized to minimize loss of head. MDDL has been fixed at El 1022 m considering proposed power intake level and power potential studies. 6.2.2.4 Dam Arrangement The proposed dam is concrete gravity dam across the river with dam top at El 1040 m. The deepest foundation level has been assumed as El 930 m i.e. 15 m below the river bed level (overburden and weathered rock). The dam is divided in blocks of 16 /15 m width each. The central 9 blocks shall
54
be overflow / spillway blocks of 16/15 m width flanked by non-overflow blocks on either side of 15 m each Spillway Spillway for concrete dam is proposed to be designed for a probable maximum flood (PMF) of 12000 cumec. Seven bays of low level orifice type spillway (inclusive of 1 bay as emergency) have been proposed with crest at EL 990 m and spillway opening size 8.25 m x 10 m. In addition two bays of upper level crest type spillway have also been proposed with crest at EL 1025 m and spillway opening size 8 m x 10 m. Total length of spillway structure shall be 142m. Non Overflow Blocks The non-overflow blocks have been provided with top width of 12 m and downstream slope of 1.1 H: 1V. An upstream slope of 1H: 4V has been provided below the level of El 1020 m. Proposed layout plan of dam area, upstream elevation and cross sections of concrete dam are enclosed as Plate- 6.3, 6.4 & 6.5. 6.2.2.5 Energy Dissipation Arrangement
A ski-jump type energy dissipation arrangement has been provided downstream of spillway with flip bucket having lip angle of 300. It may be mentioned that lip of the bucket shall be kept above maximum water level (to be finalized subsequent to development of stage discharge curve at dam site during DPR stage). A preformed plunge pool of size 100 m (L) x 160 m (B) has been provided. 6.2.3 Water Conductor System 6.2.3.1 Head Race Tunnel Intake The water is led to two nos of headrace tunnels through two nos of intake structures with invert at El. 1000 m. The invert has been kept 10 m above
55
the spillway crest to minimize silt entry in water conductor system. An inclined type trash rack structure is proposed at the entrance of the intake structure with a trash rack cleaning machine. 6.2.3.2 Desilting chamber
In order to remove particle having size more than 0.2mm, desilting chamber has been proposed. Desilting chamber shall have six chambers (Three each for two nos of headrace tunnel) each of size 300m (L) X 16 m (W) X 23 m (H). 2 nos. of 9.8 m dia intake tunnel about 450 /270 m long each has been proposed between HRT intake and desilting chamber. Each intake tunnel trifurcates into 5.6 m dia feeder tunnel feeding the desilting chamber. Tunnel of size 5.0 m dia has been provided after each desilting chamber and three tunnels of 5.0 m dia combines into HRT of 8.7 m dia. For flushing out of accumulated silt, each desilting chamber has been provided with silt flushing tunnel of size 2.5 m (W) X 2.0 m (H). Three silt flushing tunnel combines to one SFT of size 4.0 m dia. 6.2.3.3 Head Race Tunnel
2 nos of 8.7 m diameter horseshoe shaped headrace tunnels have been proposed on the left bank of the river. The length of the tunnel shall be about 9.75 / 9.80 km. Three 6.5 m (D shaped) intermediate adits each about 400 m in length (average) have been proposed to facilitate construction of the HRT. Rock bolts, shotcrete with wire mesh has been proposed as tunnel support system. Provision of steel rib support has also been kept to take care of poor rock strata wherever encountered. The tunnels shall be 600 mm thick concrete lined.
56
6.2.3.4 Surge Shaft 2 nos of 23 m diameter concrete lined and 110 m high circular restricted orifice type surge shaft with gate has been proposed. Rock bolts, shotcrete with wire mesh has been proposed as shaft support system. Surge Shaft shall be concrete lined (1000 mm thick). 6.2.3.5 Pressure Shaft
Downstream of each Surge Shaft, a 7.25m diameter steel lined pressure shaft with 181 m vertical drop has been proposed. Pressure shaft consists of a 50 m horizontal portion at top and 50 m horizontal portion at bottom. The center line elevation of lower horizontal portion has been kept at El 765.5 m i.e. center line of turbine. After horizontal portion at bottom, each 7.25 m dia pressure shaft bifurcates into two penstocks of 5.0 m dia suitably connected to main inlet valve to each unit of powerhouse. 6.2.3.6 The Draft Tube and Tail Race Tunnel
water from turbine shall be discharged back to river through
draft tubes and tailrace tunnels. 2 nos of 4.2 m (W) x 6.0 m (H) draft tube gate opening with 2 m wide intermediate pier for each unit shall be provided. After the draft horseshoe tube gates, opening of two units shall be combined and thus discharge from four units shall be led to two shaped concrete lined tail race tunnels each of 8.7 m dia. The TRT shall be about 90/100 m long with suitable outlet arrangement. Rock bolts, shotcrete with wire mesh has been proposed as tunnel support system. Provision of steel rib support has also been kept to take care of poor rock strata wherever encountered. The tunnel shall be 600 mm thick concrete lined. Proposed typical cross-section of water conductor system is enclosed as Plate 6.6.
57
6.2.4
Power House
No flat terrace is available on left bank of river Subansiri to provide surface powerhouse. As such based on topography an underground powerhouse has been proposed. It may be mentioned that the location and orientation of power house shown in PFR is indicative only and shall need to be finalized during FR/ DPR stage based on collected detailed topography and geological data. 6.2.4.1 Power House Cavern
Underground powerhouse cavern has been proposed to house four units of 250 MW each. The size of power house cavern will be 23 m (W) x 136m (L) x 48 m (H). Four bus shafts, one for each unit, of 6 m x 6 m shall be provided connecting the powerhouse cavern to transformer cavern. Further, 8 m x 8 m D-shaped gallery is also proposed between powerhouse cavern to transformer cavern to facilitate toeing of transformers between service bay and transformer cavern. Rock bolts, shotcrete with wire mesh has been provided to support the roof arch and the wall of the cavern. Provision of pre-stressed anchors on downstream wall has also been kept.

AVAILABLE DATA
The Power Potential studies have been carried out based on following data a) Discharge Data b) FRL, MDDL & TWL Levels and Head losses. c) Due to non availability of evaporation loss, evaporation loss has not been accounted for in the power potential study. 7.2 DISCHARGE DATA
Inflow series of 19 years i.e. 1-2 to 19-20 has been obtained and used for carrying Table-7.1. Table-7.2. 7.3 FIXATION OF FRL LEVEL out power potential and optimization studies. inflow is The 10-daily applied for discharge data in cumecs for all 19 years is shown in the enclosed The criterion of 90% dependable conducting power potential studies and inflow of same is shown in
The FRL level has been fixed at EL. 1035.0 m based on the consideration that the tailrace outfall of upstream proposed Niare H.E. Project is at EL. 1045.0 m. 7.4 FIXATION OF MINIMUM DRAW DOWN LEVEL (MDDL)
The choice of MDDL has mainly been based on firm power requirement, requirement of dead storage with regard to sedimentation, water cover to intake structure. the MDDL has been fixed at EL.1022.0 m. 7.5 FIXATION OF TAIL WATER LEVEL (TWL)
The River bed level at proposed tailrace outfall level of this project is around 770 m. As no tailrace rating curve is available, as such a margin of
65
10 m has been kept to arrive at max. TWL. The same will also help in future optimization of the power house location. All these values shall require to be reviewed during detail investigation of the power house complex and Tail race vis--vis Topographical and geological features of the area. 7.6 OPERATING HEAD AND HEAD LOSSES
The FRL Level is fixed at EL 1035.0 m while the average tail water level corresponding to 4 units running has been taken as 780.0 m. Head losses in the water conductor system have been taken as 12% of the gross head. The net operating head for turbines has been calculated from the following formula, Net Operating Head: = MDDL+2/3(FRL MDDL)-Max. Tail Water level Head Losses Thus, by above-mentioned formula, the net operating head works out to be 221 m. 7.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS

INSTALLED CAPACITY
The installed capacity of the Power house has been selected based on the following considerations Assessment of the energy generation with various installed capacities. Maximum utilization of the available inflow. Incremental value of energy generation with the increased installed capacity. Annual Load factor. Lean season load factor.
The power potential study has been carried out for different installed capacities ranging from 300 MW to 1800 MW with an increment of 100 MW, as shown in Table-7.5. Based on the above-mentioned parameters, the installed capacity of the power plant has been selected as 1000 MW. Taking installed capacity as 1000 MW, the Annual load factor comes out to be 46.46% while the monsoon season load factor & lean season load factor are 57.95% & 11.33% respectively as shown in enclosed Table-7.5. 7.9 SIZE OF GENERATING UNITS
The power load demand in India is increasing at a very rapid rate, and both hydro electric and thermal (including nuclear) power potential in the country are being developed not only to meet the overall requirements, but simultaneously also to provide a proper hydro and thermal power for optimum operation of the system. Keeping this in view current practice is to opt for largest size hydro units permissible within the parameters of economy, operating efficiency, maintenance, optimum utilization of available water, transport limitations etc. Based on the above-mentioned parameters, 4 No. Units of 250 MW each have been proposed for this project.

CHAPTER - VIII POWER EVACUATION
8.0
INTRODUCTION
The Naba H.E. Project is envisaged for the installation of four generating units of 250 MW each, operating under a rated net head of 221.0 m in an underground type power house. The generation voltage is proposed to be 16 KV. This voltage will be stepped up to 400 KV voltage level through single-phase Generator step-up transformers. The Generator step-up transformers will be further connected to 400 KV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) located above the transformers, both housed in the underground cavern. Gas Insulated Switchgear will be connected to the outdoor potyard through 400 KV XLPE cables. The power from Naba H.E. Project would be fed to the North-Eastern Grid to be ultimately connected to the National Grid through EHV/HVDC transmission lines. Provision of two outgoing bays has been kept in GIS for 1000 MW power evacuation from this project. 8.1 Power EXISTING POWER EVACUATION FACILITIES system is controlled by the Electricity boards/
Departments/Corporations of the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. Power System Networks of PSUs located in the region are two 400KV line going to Balipara from Dikrong (Ranga Nadi) power station and two 132KV line are also emanating from Dikrong Switchyard and feeding to Along and Nirjuli areas.

8.2
PROPOSED EVACUATION ARRANGEMENT
It is proposed to provide two outgoing bays for evacuating power at 400 KV level from Naba H.E. Project. This power would be pooled to the pooling point planned at Daporijo through one No.400kV Double circuit transmission line with Quad moose conductor (Plate-8.1). The power from Oju-I(700MW), Oju-II (1000MW), Naire (800MW), Nalo (360MW) & Dangser (552MW) H.E. Projects would also be pooled at Daporijo pooling point. The power from Daporijo pooling point would be ultimately pooled directly through HVDC Link to the National Grid. Further, it is to mention that the cost of the transmission network of 85 km distance from Naba H.E. Project to Daporijo pooling point & other end equipment at Daporijo pooling point have been considered. The Power evacuation system for Subansiri Basin is enclosed herewith for reference ( Plate-8.2).

CHAPTER- IX ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
9.0
INTRODUCTION
The project is located near Badok/ Doloring villages under Limeking circle of Upper Subansiri district in Arunachal Pradesh. Limeking is located at about 5 km downstream of the proposed dam site. It is a small town with one primary school and one primary health center. The District headquarter, Daporijo, is located 155 km away from the dam site. 9.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
9.1.1 Climate/Meteorology The climate in the entire region is humid and fairly uniform. Temperature varies between 39.5 C and 11.5 C as observed at Menga about 130 km d/s of project site. The relative humidity ranges between 94% and 62%. Pre-monsoon rains occur from mid-February. The average annual rainfall is about 2825 mm. 9.1.2 Topography The project lies in rugged mountaineous terrain, covered by insatiable forests fed by copious rains. A number of hilly streams intersect the region with gradual altitudinal variation.
9.1.3 Soil Cultivable land is mainly alluvial and composed of a mixture of sand and clay in varying proportions. Soils in the area are results of degradation and
95
weathering of rocks as well as depositional features in the form of river terraces. The soil on the slopes is mainly consists of slope wash material and supports good vegetation. The clayey soils formed on river terrace due to river deposits are fertile and has been developed into paddy fields by the local inhabitants. 9.1.4 Geology The project falls in Higher Himalayas. Here, Subansiri Group of rocks are extensively developed, from Taliha in the south-eastern part to Taksing in the northwest. The Subansiri Group consists of Maza Granite, Taksing Formation, Galensiniak Formation and Nacho Formation. All the components of the proposed project lie in metamorphic rocks of Galensiniak Formation. These are hard and competent rocks. The rocks of Subansiri Group override the quartzite/ limestone of Tali Group of rocks along a thrust plane designated as Kobaso Thrust. The other major structural elements of the region are the Main Central Thrust (MCT), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and intermittently exposed Main Foot Hill Thrust (FHT) along with some subsidiary thrusts and transverse faults. 9.1.5 Seismicity The entire northeast region has been classified in zone-V of the seismic zoning map of India. MBT and MCT associated with the tectonic activity are located at a far distance from the project area. Nevertheless, as a routine exercise site specific seismic design parameters needs to be determined for safe design of the civil structures, during feasibility/ DPR stage investigations.
96
9.1.6 Catchment Area Catchment area of Subansiri basin upto the dam site of Naba HE Project lies between longitude 9145E & 9334E and between latitude 2700N & 28 22N. The total catchment area upto the proposed dam site is about 14300 sq km. The vast stretch of the catchment possesses mainly subtropical forests, which is evergreen and dense in nature. The area above elevation of 4500 m is normally under snow cover. The snow fed area upto the proposed dam site has been estimated as 9484 sq km while the rain fed area is 4816 sq km. 9.1.7 Drainage Pattern Subansiri is a major right bank tributary of river Brahmaputra. It originates in Tibet beyond the Great Himalayan range (Central Himalaya) at an altitude of around 5340 m. main river. Several mountain streams drains into the The principal stream is Nye Chu, which may be considered Nye Chu is then joined
as the main source of river Subansiri originating from the snow clad peaks of Krakang, Shaota, Baru and Mata (EL 5389 m). Chayal Chu. 9.1.8 Initial Environmental Studies For ascertaining the land use pattern of the area, initial environmental study has been carried out as per the scope of work of the PFR. National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Hyderabad, was engaged for the study. NRSA procured geo-coded Satellite data of IRS 1C PAN merged with LISS III images of 27th November, 2002 of the project area. The methodology adopted includes preparation of geo-referenced base map of project area and analysis on SGI Workstation using ERDAS Imagine image analysis software for land use/land cover classification, by another stream Laro Chu near Chayal thereby taking the name of
97
identification of infrastructural features, like roads and bridges etc of the area of interest. Based on the analysis of satellite data and other available ancillary information, the following outputs were generated by NRSA (Annexure-9.1) Map 1 (a) of 27th Shows IRS 1 C PAN + LISS III merged satellite image November, 2002 on 1:50,000 scale covering 7 km radius

98
Following broad conclusions can be drawn from studies conducted by NRSA :
Total area under submergence at proposed FRL of 1035 m. (above MSL) is estimated to be 81.75 ha ( Table-9.1). (It may mentioned that as per area capacity curve, submergence area at FRL is 81.28 ha.)
It is observed that vegetation cover is mostly dominated by forest category which is 44.62 ha (54.58% of the submergence area). Entire forest vegetation is classified as high dense forest in the submergence area. Adequate compensatory afforestation will be required because of submergence of dense forest.

There is no agricultural area present within the proposed submergence area as well as within 7 km radius (Table 9.2) which is positive sign to develop the proposed hydropower site.
100
Other landuse categories consist of Open scrub (2.43 ha) which is insignificant in areal extent. There is no surface water bodies other than the river course. The area under river course including dry river bed is estimated to be 34.70 ha. The nearest National park is Mouling which is about 111 Km from the dam site. The nearest sanctuaries are Kane and Itanagar which are about at distance of 123 Km and 140 Km. So it is observed that the dam site is more than 100 Km away from the National park and sanctuaries.
The location of the National Parks/Sanctuaries vis--vis the dam site and the power house is presented in the Map No. 1(d) (Annexure 9.1). 9.1.9 Water Quality Population density along the reservoir is not very high. Scattered huts along the road have been observed. People are mostly engaged in agriculture. Since there is no industrial unit in or around the proposed project area and also the fact that the inhabitants are still following their age-old methods of cultivation, it is assumed that there would be no such chemical pollution in the river. However, a detailed water quality analysis would be carried out during the environmental survey to ascertain the quality of water and necessary measures would be adopted accordingly to prevent its deterioration. 9.2 BIOTIC ENVIRONMENT
9.2.1 Flora The predominant vegetation is sub-tropical type and is basically dense and evergreen in nature. Top storey comprises of the species of tall trees like Acer oblongum, Kydia calycina, Castanopsis indica, Saurauia
101
punduana, Schima wallichii. Middle storey comprises of species like Capparis multiflora, Photinia integrifolia in association with species like Eurya acuminata, Myrsine semiserrata, Camellia caudata, etc. The common climbers met within the area are Clematis acuminata, Holboellia latifolia, Tinospora sinensis, etc. The ground flora comprises of the bushy shrubs and herbs like Cassia mimosoides, Dianella ensifolia, Drymaria diandra, Plectranthus griffithii, Rosa indica, Solanum erianthum, etc. The excerpts from preliminary report of BSI, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh is placed at Annexure 9.2. 9.2.2 Fauna and Wildlife The entire project area has fairly good forest coverage. It serves as a habitat for many faunal species. But, with progress of time due to increases in human interference, shifting cultivation and other activities, wildlife has been affected. However, some of the faunal species found in the area are as follows: Bos frontalis, Felis bengalensis, Felis marmorata, Sus scrofa, Muntiacus mutjack, Macaca assamensis, Vulpes bengalensis, Vandeleuria oleracea, Talpa micrura, Ratus ratus, Coracias bengalensis, Alcedo atthius, Vanellus indicus, Dicrurus acneus, Acridotheres fuscus, Passer domesticus, Pycnonolus jocosus, etc.
Some of the high altitude fish species observed in the area are: Tor putitora, Tor tor, Schizothorax richardsonii, Barilius barna, B. bendelisis, Labeo dero, Gara gotyla gotyla, Psilorhynchus balitora, Naemacheilus botia botia, Xenentodon cancila, Channa punctatus, Mastacembelus armatus, Badis badis. There are no regular fish landing centers. Fishes are caught with the help of long line, cast nets and traps from different streams and nullahs in the area.
102
Thus, from the above list it is evident that the species found are generally common fauna usually encountered in such ecological condition. There is no endangered or threatened species observed or recorded from the project area so far. However, a detailed survey of the area in different seasons of the year may yield a different picture on the faunal diversity of the area and which may be useful in preparation of the environmental impact assessment for the proposed project The preliminary report from ZSI, Itanagar, and from Department of Fishery Arunachal Pradesh are enclosed as Annexure 9.3 & 9.4 respectively. 9.3 PREDICTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Based on above baseline data and project features, the potential impacts that are expected as a result of the proposed project are summarized as follows: 9.3.1 Impacts on land environment About 500 ha would be required for the proposed project out of which 81.28 ha would come under submergence. About 375 ha of forest land would get affected in the process. With the acquisition of forestland, the local population, dependent on these forests, might get affected. Most of the environmental impacts resultant of construction work is temporary in nature rarely lasting beyond the construction period. All these issues are to be properly addressed so that the long-term effects, if any, can be minimized. 9.3.2 Impact on Water Environment The construction of a reservoir will replace the riverine eco-system by a lacustrine ecosystem. The vectors of various diseases breed in shallow
103
areas are not very far from reservoir margins.
The breeding site for
mosquitoes and other vectors in impounded water is in direct proportion to the length of the shoreline. The construction of the reservoir would increase the shoreline many times as compared to the pre-project shoreline of various rivers and tributaries under submergence. In the proposed project area, malaria is the prominent vector borne disease. There are chances that its incidence may increase as the proposed project is a storage scheme. Because of the regulated flow of water some changes is also likely in the aquatic environment in the downstream areas of the project. The important changes that are likely to happen in this area are: reduction in flow rate changes in water temperature, reduction in population of stenothermal species (species adapted to small temperature range) and increase in population of eurythermal species (species adopted to higher temperature range). 9.3.3 Impacts on Air and Noise Environment Impacts on the air environment are limited to the construction period of a hydropower project. The major sources of air pollution during construction phase are emission from crushers, DG sets, construction equipments etc. Thus local air pollution (including dust and odour) will result from the operation of plant machinery and traffic. Noise and vibration due to construction activities (e.g. blasting, machinery and traffic) may disturb local wildlife and human populations. However, there will be only shortterm increase in emissions like SO2 and Suspended Particulate Matters (SPM) during the construction period of the project. The level of noise would also decrease substantially once the construction phase is over. Hence no major impact is anticipated on this account.
104
9.3.4 Impacts on flora and fauna Due to construction of dam about 81.28 ha of land will be inundated. The direct impact of construction activity of a water resources project in a hilly terrain is generally limited to the vicinity of the construction sites. This may alter the local diversity of flora and also affect habitat available for fauna. Changes to, or loss of habitat will affect areas used for mating, breeding, nursing, feeding and drinking for both resident and migratory wildlife. The extent and severity of these effects will vary according to the existing habitat and the particular species involved which would be known after detailed study is done on flora and fauna during the comprehensive EIA/EMP study and suitable mitigation measures would be formulated and implemented in consultation with the State Forest Department of Arunachal Pradesh. 9.3.5 Impacts on Avifauna The construction of the proposed dam will lead to formation of a reservoir, which will have a fluctuation in the water level, which precisely means the reservoir bank will remain wet throughout the year. Due to such reasons, some aquatic weeds / grasses may grow along the reservoir banks. Such conditions are generally ideal for various kinds of birds, especially water birds. However because of the presence of a good habitat it is quite likely that water birds will flock in this area in a large number. The birds from cold climatic areas could also use this area during the winter season.
9.3.6 Impacts on Fishes A dam will fragment and isolate upstream resident fish. The resident species may congregate in the tail water release site. Fish from upstream will occasionally sweep downstream during the monsoon, stay in the tail
105
water or swim further downstream. A dam may obstruct the route of the long and mid-distance migratory fish. There may be an impact on the fish composition due to construction of dam. A detailed fishery study would be conducted during the EIA/EMP study to determine the likely impacts and suitable mitigatory measures would be adopted. 9.3.7 Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment (Resettlement & Rehabilitation) To ascertain the extent of impact due to this proposed project, a detailed socio-economic survey would be carried out as a part of the EIA/EMP study to ascertain the degree and extent of impact and accordingly a suitable rehabilitation package would be formulated. During the construction of the project the basic problem relates to management of large population that migrate to the area in search of jobs and other allied activities. Thus migration of a population having different cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds has its own advantages and disadvantages. Exchange of ideas, cultures between various groups of people would result in a healthy bonding amongst the population at large. A new culture having a distinct socio-economic status with an entity of its own would develop. As a result of this project there would be all-round development of the region. 9.3.8 Impact on Archaeological structures/Sanctuaries or National Parks As per the initial survey there is neither any archaeological structure nor any Sanctuary or National Park that are likely to get affected due to the project directly or indirectly.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS
The objective of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to ameliorate the negative impacts of a developmental project. The most reliable way to ensure proper implementation of these management plans is to integrate the same with various processes involved during project planning, designing, construction and operation phases. Based on the assessment of environmental impacts, following management plans will be formulated: Catchment Area Treatment Compensatory Afforestation Wildlife Conservation Resettlement and Rehabilitation Public Health Management System Muck Disposal Fishery Management Restoration of Construction Area Green Belt Development Free Fuel Provision Disaster Management MOEF Restriction on Construction of dams in Subansiri Basin Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF), vide their letter No: 6-I/2002 WL-I dated 27.05.2003, regarding diversion of 42 ha of land failing within the Tale Wildlife Sanctuary for construction of Subansiri Lower Project (SLP), has imposed a condition that there would be no construction of dam upstream of the Subansiri river in future. As this project is located u/s of SLP on Subansiri river this condition is required to be considered while considering the project for preparation of DPR.

EXCERPTS FROM CEAS REASSESSMENT STUDY REPORT
Naba Hydro Electric Scheme

(Drg No: HEPR-PS-BHM-805) Immediately downstream of the power house under Niare hydro electric scheme, the reach of the river is steep and appears to permit development of another hydro electric scheme of run-of river type by constructing a diversion of a small height at a site where the river bed level is +1000m diverting the waters through a 11.5 km long channel to a power house to be located on the river where the river bed level is +800 m. The scheme would utilise a gross head of about 200 m and enable generation of 308 MW of firm power at the power house. With an optimum economic installed capacity of 1290 MW, the scheme would give benefit of 6038 GWH and 6915 GWH of annual energy respectively in 90% and 50% dependable years.

CWC COMMENTS
1. Since NHPC is observing discharge data at Menga site since June 2000, a comparative study may be made between the observed series and generated series at Menga site and the results may be incorporated in the PFR. 2. Efforts may be made to collect site specific discharge data and catchment rainfall and series may be generated. 3. As the catchment of Naba dam is approximate, the flow series obtained by area proportion basis will be more approximate. 1. A synthetic flow series reportedly developed for Subansiri upper dam site has been transferred to the Naba site by applying catchment correction factor of 0.504. The methodology adopted and the analysis done for such generation is not available in the report. These may be furnished. 2. Since NHPC is observing the discharge at Menga site since 2000, a series may be generated based on this data and the same may be compared with the synthetically generated series and a comparison

1. A plot between average 10-daily discharge based on observed and generated series is enclosed. Average 10daily observed discharge seems to be slightly on higher side in monsoon months, however, comparing 20 years average with 3-years average is not logical. 2. Agreed, the efforts shall be continued.
3. Agreed, however, with the available information and data the study has been done. 1.Kindly refer water availability study of Hydrology Chapter of Feasibility report of Subansiri Upper Project, submitted in August 2002..

may be made and the results may be incorporated in the report. The 20 years synthetic flow series obtained for Subansiri upper dam site may also be incorporated in the report to facilitate the checking of the transferred series of Naba. The design flood studies done by NHPC are too empirical to be relied upon. Four to five years concurrent rainfall runoff data base can be utilised to calculate design flood by unit hydrograph approach. However, in the absence of short interval concurrent rainfall runoff data the design flood may be calculated using relevant sub zonal report of CWC taking in to account the recommendations of 1993 workshop and by collecting PMP/SPS values from IMD. The results may be compared before recommending the design flood. The sedimentation rate for the region is about 0.1765 Ham/sqkm/year as per CWC studies published in the compendium on silting of reservoirs in India which is higher than the rate proposed for the project. As stated in the report more detail study is required. Data may also be collected from the completed projects on the basin/nearby basin. New zero elevation after

It is worth mentioning here that although deterministic approach of design flood computation has not been used directly in the present study for Naba sub basin, however, this approach has been used indirectly along with Emperical method, as the design flood at Subansiri Upper dam site had been computed by deterministic approach only. The details of design flood study may be referred in feasibility report of Subansiri Upper Project, August 2002.

We are aware of the findings of CWC studies published in the Compendium on silting of reservoirs in India. As per that report, the sediment rate varies from 0.05658 to 0.2785 Ham/Sq.km/year for Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra basin. But the silt rate adopted for this particular project has been adopted on the basis of observed data at Chouldhowaghat in Subansiri basin and is more region specific than that given in Compendium on silting of

As per the terms of preparation of PFRs and emphasised in the meetings conducted by CEA sedimentation studies are required to be carried out and incorporated in the PFRs. 5 General The PFR must bring out the various limitations of the hydrological studies carried out for the PFR and suggest improvements, specific recommendation for opening new hydrological and hydrometeorological stations, method of observations, data to be collected etc. may be given which will help as guidance to the agency undertaking detailed investigation. The agency taking up the detail investigations/DPR must review the network in consultation with HSO, CWC. The hydrological studies for the PFR may be revised incorporating the above observations. reservoirs in India.
Detailed reservoir sedimentation study need be done during feasibility stage with more observed data at the proposed site using a suitable method.
The PFR points out the limitation of the studies after each study and establishment of G&D site, rainfall stations etc. are also highlighted in the PFR, however, as suggested during different meetings held at CWC, the specific recommendations has been incorporated at the end of the chapter.

8.General Comments a) It may be stated that the benefits from these Noted projects may not be fully absorbed from NE Region and needs to be exported to other regions. In long-term perspective for evacuating bulk power from we may need to adopt a combination of HVDC/EHVAC transmission system, which requires least transmission corridor, because of limited corridor in the chicken-neck area taking into account the various power projects likely to be developed in NER in foreseeable future. We may need to plan an integrated transmission system from the pooling points in NER and phase out the implementation schedule suitably. b) The transmission system as proposed for Noted above schemes is tentative. The final transmission system would be determined by detailed power system studies on the basis of total power to be transmitted from NER, which may require a change in the voltage levels or configuration of the transmission system taking into consideration the mountainous terrain, thick forest area and right of way problems. c) Beneficiaries States/Regions along with their It is a statement. tentative shares from these projects have not been identified so far.

Annexure 9.2 1-2 EXCERPT FROM PRELIMINARY REPORT ON FLORISTIC SURVEY IN NABA HE SCHEME
In connection with the Preliminary Feasibility Report of Hydroelectric Scheme of NHPC in four projects site in Subansiri river Basin, Upper Subansiri district, Arunachal Pradesh, a floristic exploration tour to the proposed project areas was undertaken by a team of scientists of BSI, AFS. Itanagar along with the officials of NHPC, Daporijo. The joint expedition team proceeded from Limeking on trekking and making base camp at Orak could proceed upto Tarna Chung Chung a place between second and third project sites for extensive floristic survey and overall vegetational study of the whole area. The area covering the four proposed projects from Naba to Oju-I possess a difficult terrain with rugged hills, dense forest- cover; intersected by a number of hilly streams and with a gradual altitudinal variation. The vast catchment area of the proposed projects possess mainly subtropical forests with pathches of lower temperate forests towards the area in Oju-I project site with comparatively higher altitudinal position. But the area of actual submergence covers mostly subtropical forests with a considerably diverse composition. Vegetation and the floristic components as observed in the proposed project areas are as follows.
Naba : The predominant vegetation is subtropical type and is basically of

evergreen in nature. Top storey comprises of the species of tall trees like Acer oblongum, Kydia calycina, C'astonopsis indica, Saurauia panduana, Schima wallichii... Middle storey comprises of species like Capparis multiflora, Photinia integrifolia, being associated with species like Eurya acuminata , Myrsine semiserrata. Camellia caudata, etc. The common climbers met with in the area are Clematis acuminata. Holboellia latifolia . Tinospora sinensis
246
Annexure 9.2 2-2 etc. The ground flora comprises of the bushy shrubs and herbs like Cassia mimosoides. Dianella ensifolia, Drymaria diandra .Plectranthus griffithii, Rosa Indica, Solanum erianthum etc.
No doubt the Vegetation of the area to be submerged will be adversely affected by the proposed hydel projects. The ecological pressure and microclimatic changes by submergence will inevitably threaten the floristic diversity of the area. But notably, the type of vegetation of the project site covers a vast expanse exhibiting the same type of vegetation, Moreover, the species occurring in the area to be submerged are also found in and around the vast adjoining areas.
