EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects to strengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport in Greater Mumbai and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improving public transport including the railway capacity. As per requirement of The World Bank, Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for some of these sub-projects in the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for the entire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part of these EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmental impacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction and MMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs. This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the 5 th line construction between Santacruz and Borivali stations on Westem Railway (WR). This project is being implemented by the Western Railway (WR). Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services of Serene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects of MUTP.

PROJECT COMPONENTS
The Santacruz - Borivali 5 th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburban trains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of project includes construction of 5 th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms. Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line to enhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway. The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads: . Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations

This EMP's for the Santacruz-Borivali project have been prepared within the framework of the Consolidated Environmental Assessment (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirements applicable to the Santacruz-Borivali project are as follows: Indian Environmental and Other Requlations Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act. The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975 Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act): Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act): D Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs): World Bank Policies o Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) O Involuntary Resettlerpent (OD 4.30) o 0 g 0 4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baseline environmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project is fully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed. However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities have been evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table A. Ambient Air Quality CurrentAAO Monitorin' Data Baseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Monitoring is done as per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), New Delhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railway station. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the same line and located adjacent to Santacruz to the south. This location is considered as an example of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic including auto-rickshaws, buses, private vehides etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 for

These
values may not represent the MQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example. The values for NOx and SPM exceed the MO annual average standards for residential areas. These MQ annual average MQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60 3 jig/m3); NOx (60 .g/m); SPM (140 gg/m3). AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevated AAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions. However, areas between stations have much lower values. Impacts During Construction Phase Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on air quality due to construction activity cannot be assessed. Impacts During Operation Phase During the operation stage, there will be no impact on air quality, as electric trains will be operated on the proposed track. 4.2 Noise Impacts Baseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise was done near the 5 th line between Santacruz and Andheri to assess noise impacts. Durinq Construction Phase Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on noise levels due to construction activity cannot be assessed. Durinq Operation Phase Existing baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residential area. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are located quite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks. Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land, however this is not expected to have much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to the tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barTier all along the track to this height may not be feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and track modification may be more appropriate for noise reduction. 4.3 Ground and Surface Water Quality Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body, due to construction activity cannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers, creek etc.) present in the Santacruz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense Built-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on water bodies. Impacts During Operation Phase The operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due to the following reasons: Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated in septic tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing sewerage
network.

Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded during monsoons. There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect any water body.
4.4
Natural Habitats and Ecology Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the Santacruz Borivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no natural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection. ImPacts Durina Construction Phase Permission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area for tree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo 1-in Annex 2). However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the area wherever feasible. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for various WR managers. Impacts During Oneration Phase Impacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming up alongside the existing tracks and there is-no forest and other sensitive ecological reserves near the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.
4.5
Landuse This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodies etc. There are mixed use and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridor boundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations. The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as it has come up alongside the existing tracks.
4.6
Resettlement and Rehabilitation There are 515 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement. Resettlement and rehabilitation of the project-affected households is being done by MMRDA as per the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific Community Environment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA for transit and permanent locations. Archaeological and Cultural Property Rehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious (temples, mosques etc.) affected by project activities is required by The World Bank Qperational Policy 4 11 on Cultural Property Preservation. As per survey conducted by MMRDA, there were no such structures present on this route.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental management organisation: . In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project Implementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway '/VR) is the PIA for this project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and WR. WR has not been involved in any of the earlier EA efforts. Environmental mitigation measures identified in the earlier EA for this project and also identified in the consolidated EA are not available with WR. However, WR has incorporated certain EHS elements in the tender documents. Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart from periodic safety inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHS elements of the project.
The construction phase is completed and site observations have not revealed any significant residual impacts on the site due to construction phase. Major significant impacts would be the displacement of project affected people and cutting of vegetation along the ROW. The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study and permissions have been taken earlier for cufting of vegetation

Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regular environmental monitorng program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring described above for this project. The recommended EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism, inspection schedule - format responsibilities, current institutional mechanism, training requirements etc. are given in detail in Section 6.1 of this report. The cost for EMP for Santacruz-Borvali line is estimated at Rs. 1346000 (See Table 8).

PROJECT DETAILS
Project Need and Details The Santacruz - Borvali 5th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburban trains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of project includes construction of 5 th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms. Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line to enhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway. Benefits of the 5th line between Santacruz - Borivali: 1. Segregation of suburban and non-suburban traffic between Santacruz and Borivali, thus releasing capacity on through lines to allow more suburban trains and create new route for passenger trains to new passenger terminus at Bandra. 2. Provision of 5th line will provide additional three suburban 12-car rake paths from Borvali to Churchgate.
2.2
Project Components and Status The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads: * Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations * Construction of additional infrastructure at various stations such as New Platforms and extension of existing platforms, Station building and Booking office, F?ot over-bridges (FOB), Extension of level crossings, etc. * Construction of major and minor bridges at various locations * Construction of miscellaneous structures such as drainage, boundary walls etc. The broad project components and implementation status of the same are given below in Table 1.1 and 1.2 respectively. Santacruz to Andheri line has started operating and tracklinking work is in progress in case of Goregaon to Borvali railway line. Photo I (Annex 2) shows the completed 5th line with boundary wall.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baseline environmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project is fully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed. However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities have been evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table 3.
4.1
Terrain and Geology Santacruz - Borvali tracks run over almost a level terrain in the area. The area through out is built-up. Some open areas are observed between Malad and Goregaon. Geology is typical of the westem coast i.e. Basalt rocks overlain by alluvial soils / clays.
4.2
Climate The climate of the area is characterized by high humidity nearly all year round, oppressive summers season and well-distributed and heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon season. This suburban district receives heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon season between June and August.
4.3
Ambient Air Quality Current AAQ Monitoring Data Baseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Mronitoring is done as per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), New Delhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railway station. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the same line and located adjacent to Santacnrz to the south. This location is considered as an example of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic including auto-rickshaws, buses, private vehicles etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 for S02, NOx and SPM reported at Khar was 16.16 t1g/M 3 , 69.25 jig/M3 and 290 hig/M 3 . These values may not represent the AAQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example. The values for NOx and SPM exceed the AAQ annual average standards for residential areas. These AAQ annual average AAQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60 3 [Lg/M 3 ); NOx (60 jig/m ); SPM (140 jig/rn3). AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevated AAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions. However, areas between stations have much lower values.

This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are located quite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks. Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land,-however this is not expected to have much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to the tracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barrier all along the track to this height may not be feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and track modification may be more appropriate for noise reduction.

Ground and Surface Water Quality Impact Assessment

Durinq Construction Phase Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body due to construction activity cannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers, creek etc.) present in the Santacnrz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is dense Built-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on water bodies. During Operation Phase The operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due to the following reasons: * Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated in septic tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing sewerage network. * Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded during monsoons. * There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect any water body.
4.6
Natural Habitats and Ecology

Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the Santacruz Borivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are no natural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection. Imoacts During Construction Phase Permission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area for tree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo I in Annex 2). However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the area wherever feasible. Photo 3 in Annex 2 shows plantation and fencing done at Andheri Station. Photo 4 shows the completed 5th line with track-side vegetable plantation which is given on contract. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for various WR managers. Impacts Durina Operation Phase Impacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming up alongside the existing tracks and there is no forest and other sensitive ecological reserves near the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.
4.7
Land Use
This rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodies etc. There are mixed use- and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridor boundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations.
Impacts
The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project as it has come up alongside the existing tracks. 9

Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures Introduction

The previous sections described the changes observed in baseline environmental status and the environmental impacts during construction and operation stages of the project. This section is dedicated to evaluating the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) mitigation needs and institutional mechanisms for their implementation. EHS mitigation measures, monitoring programs and reporting structure are required to be a part of an Environmental Management Plan. As discussed earlier, the entire construction work for the project is complete and thus EHS measures cannot be audited/assessed for the construction phase. Also, as seen from the previous section, site visits have not revealed any significant adverse environmental impact caused due the already completed activity. Thus, as far as this project is concemed, recommendations for EMP implementation include the following: * EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for future works in this area. * EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage. * Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation
5.2
EHS Mitigation Measures

EMP measures are presented in Table 5.1 to 5.3 for the design, construction and operation stages. Tables 5.1 and 5.2 will be applicable only for future projects. Table 5.3 is applicable to the operating stage of the current Santacruz-Borivali 5th line project. The mitigation requirements mentioned should be complied by the WR by assigning responsibilities for the same to various WR departments and making it a part of contractor requirements where relevant.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental management organisation: . In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project Implementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway (WR) is the PIA for this project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and WR. Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart from periodic safety inspections, currentiv there is no feedback mechanism for EHS elements of the project.
6.1
Environmental Monitoring Program

The main objectives of a monitoring program are: * To evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures during the construction and operation phases. * To satisfy the legal and community obligations * To respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early stage and to verify the accuracy of environmental impact prediction. The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study and permissions have been taken earlier for cutting of vegetation. Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regular environmental monitoring program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring described above for this project. This is covered in Section below.
6.1.1
EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Construction Phase
6.1.1.1 Environmental Monitoring

The construction of this line is complete and hence monitoring during construction phase is not being provided. For future works, monitoring of air quality, noise levels etc. will need to be defined based on actual location and site conditions of the project.
6.1.1.2 Monitoring of EHS mitigation measures implementation

In the context of Railway projects of MUTP, an effective inspection program will go a long way to assure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. The program given here could be used for future construction activities on this line. The inspection program needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by WR and, the parameters for inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The EHS parameters to be monitored depend upon factors such as: 21

* * *
EHS components affected Construction schedule of the project Environmental Mitigation measures suggested
Based on the site observations, level of awareness of contractor and WR staff, the following program and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHS implementation at future construction sites covered by MUTP: a. Monthly inspection program by WR for all project construction sites. The inspection will be carried out by DCE (Construction) In-charge of the construction site, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as per Annex 4. The inspection will be carried out during the entire period of construction activity including before start of construction and immediately after construction is complete. The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed DCE to the Chief Engineer (WR). Correctve action plan with time frame for implementation for any non-compliance to be also submitted. (Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works. However, a group of similar activites could be inspected using the same checklist . E.g.- Findings of inspection of construction of station building, FOB, platform extension work at a station could be entered in the same checklist). b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specified in Annex 5. c. Copy of the completed monthly inspectfon checklist should be sent by the Chief Engineer (WR) to MMRDA every month for review. The Inspection checklist for a month along with the corrective actfon plan, if any, shall reach MMRDA no later than the 1?m day of the next month. d. MMRDA to carry out independent 3rd- party inspection of various construction sites (the sample sites indicated in this report could be visited at a minimum) every quarter during the constructfon activity and also after construction is completed to assess any residual environmental Impact A Project Management Consultant (PMC) should be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Review checklist given in Annex 4 could be used for this purpose.

EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Operation Phase

Operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for the following: * Ambient noise levels to determine baseline levels and track improvements accrued due to implementation of source noise reduction. Ambient air monitoring is not suggested since
the operation will not contribute to air pollution (Electricity driven trains). Also no impacts during operation stage expected on water quality and soil quality. * Health and survival rates of the compensatory and other plantation done by WR. * Monitoring of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) sites for the people displaced due to the project. This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this audit report. The monitoring program suggested is given in Table 6 below.

ANNEX- 1B LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

1 The project will be implemented within the Indian legal framework and will also complywith the safeguard policies of the World Bank. The applicable legal and policy framework is descfibed below.
Applicable Indian Legal Requirements 2. The applicable Indian legal provisions are described in two groups one related to environment and the other related to resettlement. Legislation related to Environment: 3. There are various Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable for different environmental components such as Air Polluton, Water Pollubon, Noise Pollution, Coastal Areas, Hazardous Matefials Handling and Transpoit, Forest and Wildlife. In additon, regulatory provisions by way of environmental clearance also exist. The applicable acts and regulabons are listed below.
Environmental (Protectfon) Act, 1986 This is an umbrella act for environmental protection. Various rules and notifications are 4. issued from bme to time under the provisions of this Act. Environmental Protection Rules (2000) specify standards for ambient air quality whereas Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 provide for the ambient noise standards in public places. However legal mechanism to achieve these are not explicit in terms of emission at source in transport sector except for the vehicle emission norms like Euro II or Bharat II that have been prescribed. The Environmental Impact Assessment Notification. 1994 (as amended in May 1997) make environmental clearance mandatory for 29 categores of developmental projects listed in Schedule 1 of the notification. Railways are not listed in schedule 1 and hence do not need environmental clearance. For other components under MUTP, MoE_F has confirmed that environmental qlearance EIA notfication is not required. Coastal Regulation Zone Notfication, 1991 5. The notification provides for determining certain areas between the Low Tide Line (LTL) and High Tide Line (HTL) and adjacent land ward area as the Coastal Regulation Zone and its classification into CRZ I -ecologically sensitive and coastal wetland between HTL and LTL, CRZ II - where development has already occurred and CRZ IlIl - the residual area largely rural in character. The notification also prescribes prohibited activities in CRZ and activities that can be taken up with the approval of MoEF. Reclamation being a prohibited activity cannot be undertaken in I. CRZ
The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservabon of Trees Act. 1975 6 GOM legislation requires every local authority to constitute a Tree Authority. No tree can be felled without the permission of this authority. The Road development agencies will have to obtain the permission of the Tree Authority for felling of trees in the right of way and follow the Tree Authorities stipulations in respect of transplantng or compensatory plantation. Legislation related to R & R. Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act): 7. This act provides for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes by paying compensation at the market rate with 30% solatium for the compulsory nature of acquisiton and interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notificabon of land for acquisition. Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act): 8. The act provides for preparation of Regional Plan for the MMR as a whole and preparabon of Development Plans (Master Plans) for-the local jurisdiction of individual municipal authority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999whereasthe Development Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 1991. The Regional Plan is policy oriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specificand prescribes detailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, which can then be acquired in conjuncton with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The act also provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of Development Control Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistentwith the Regional Plan and the Development Plan. Develooment Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs): 9. The DCRs set out the standards for building design and construction, provision of services like water supply, sewerage, site drainage, access roads, elevators, fire fighting etc. A separate set of regulabons is included for the redevelopment or resettlement of slums, which are administered by the Slun, Rehabilitabon Authority (SRA). Buildings procured for R & R have to conform to these DeRs. Up-front clearance of the entre project is however not required under the DCR. Approvals are to be obtained for individual scheme, as it gets prepared. 10. These regulations prepared under the MR & TP Act offer an alternatve to acquisibon under LA Act by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR). The permissible Floor Space Index (FSI) defines the development rights of every parcel of land in Mumbai. If apartcular parcel of land is designated for a public purpose the landowner has an option of accepting monetary compensabon under the LA Act 1894 or accept TDR (equivalent to the plot area times the permissible FSI), which can be sold in the market for use elsewhere in Mumbai. The DC Regulations have been amended to provide incentives for rehabilitation (including resettlement of slum dwellers) in 1997. For landowners prepared to provide 225 sq.ft. dwelling units free of cost to slum dwellers, the incentve is in the form of right to build and sell floor space equivalent to that required for slum rehabilitation subject to the maximum in-situ utirization of FSI of 2.5. The remainder of the total development rights can be used as TDR. In case of land designated for resettlement of slum dwellers affected by infrastructure projects, the land owner has an option of offering dwelling unitsto the project implementing agency free of cost and getting the benefit of maximum of TDR equivalentto floor area calculated at FSI of 3.5 (1 for land and 2.5 for the built-up area).
The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960: 11. This act provides for establishing, registering and administering the co-operative societies. Housing co-operative is a special form of co-operative society, where the land and building
is owned by the co-operative and its members have occupancy rights of apartment occupied by them. Sale and purchase of such units can take place only with the consent of the society. This is a common form of tenure in Mumbai's apartment buildings and iswdely understood.
Applicable World Bank Policies

12. Given that MUTP has been developed with the intention of mobilizing financial resources from the World Bank, project preparation has included a number of studies and assessments which have sought to address and meet the requirements of the World Bank's environmental and social policies, often referred as the 'safeguard' policies. The next paragraphs provide a summary overview of how these guidelines have been considered.
Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) 13. In the context of the Bank's Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 on Environmental Assessment, MUTP has been classified as category "A" project, largely on the basis of the large number of people requiring resettlement and rehabilitation. Because of the large-scale resettlement and the triggering of more than one safeguard policy the project is also classified as 'S1 " in terms of safeguard issues. A consolidated EA including SEA has been prepared that provides the framework for preparing sub-project specific EA and EMPs in compliance with the World Bank policy. Cultural Property (OP 4.11): 14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Cultural property, therefore, encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (for example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmentalfeatures such as canyons and waterfalls. The World Bank's general policy regarding cultural properties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination. 15. Mumbai with its history of- nearly three hundred years is rich in cultural property particularly in the form of built herTtage. GOM and MCGM are acutely aware of the need to conserve such heritage. GOM in 1995 with the involvement of NGOs listed over 600 buildings and precincts as of heritage significance. DCR 67 govems the development of these listed buildings and precincts. GOM has also constituted a Heritage Conservation Committee in 1995 to advise the Municipal Commissioner regarding development permission to be granted in case of listed buildings and precincts. No development permission can be granted of the listed buildings or within the precincts without the consent of the Heritage Committee. During the execution of works, if a 'chance find "of archaeological significance occurs, the contract requires the contractor to immediately inform the employer and stop furtherwork. Employer will in turn inform the state Archaeology Department for further investigation. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are small places of worship established by the community of squatters within the right of way. These hav7e been created by the affected communities for their own use. Such places of worship do not possess any historical or architectural significance and may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property. Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs. The places of worship and other community assets are identified dunng the BSES. Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process in consultation with the community The impact on these properties and the manner in which such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categones. Firstly the
16.
17.
buildings that are only partially affected can be helped to add equivalent area elsewhere adjacent to the building. Secondly structures that are fully affected by the right of way but are patronized by the community that is not affected by the project could be rebuilt outside the right of way in consultation with the community and with assistance of the NGO. In some cases the entrance to the structure could be reoriented to ensure safety of the devotees visiting the place. Thirdly the affected structuresthat patronized by the community being resettled could be relocated in consultation with the community. In addition, the community may agree to forego some places without insisting upon their resettlement Natural Habitat (OP 4.04): 18. Natural habitats are defined as land and water areas where (i) the ecosystems' biological communities are formed largely by native plant and animal species, and (ii) human activity has not essentfally modified the area's primary ecological functions. All natural habitats have important biological, social, economic, and existence value. Important natural habitats may occur in tropical humid, dry, and cloud forests; temperate and boreal forests; Mediterranean-type shrub lands; natural arid and semi-arid lands; mangrove swamps, coastal marshes, and other wetlands; estuaries; sea grass beds; coral reefs; freshwater lakes and rivers; alpine and sub alpine environments, including herb fields, grasslands, and paramos; and tropical and temperate grasslands. Criticalnaturalhabitats include exisfing protected areas and areas officially proposed by governments as protected areas (e.g., reserves that meet the criteria of the World Conservation Union [IUCN] classifications i.e. Strict Nature Reserve/Wilderness Area: protected area managed for science or wilderness protecton; Il-Nabonal Park: protected area managed mainly for ecosystem protection and recreation; Ill-Natural Monument: protected area managed mainly for conservation of specific natural features; IV-HabitatVSpecies Management Area: protected area managed mainly for conservation through management intervention; V-Protected Landscape/Seascape: protected area managed mainly for landscape/seascape conservation and recreation; and VI-Managed Resource Protected Area: protected area managed mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems. The conservabon of natural habitats, like other measures that protect and enhance the environment, is essential for long-term sustainable development. The Bank therefore supports the protection, maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic and sector work, project financing, and policy dialogue. The Bank supports, and expects borrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management to ensure opportunities for environmentally sustainable development. From this perspective one of Mumbai's notable natural habitat is limited to the 103 sq.km. Nabonal Park at Borivaii, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula between the two rail corridors. The National Park is protected underthe Indian Forest Act. None of the sub-projects passes through the National Park. The other important Natural Habitat is the coastal wetlands in the eastern and western suburbs and along the Vasai creek. These are protected by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification of 19 February 1991.
19.
Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30) 20. The Operational Directve 4.30 describes Bank policy and procedures on involuntary resettlement, as well as the conditions that borrowers are expected to meet in operations involving involuntary resettlement. Planning and financing resettlement of projects are an integral part of preparation for projects that cause involuntary displacement MUTP will require resettlement of about 19000 households (68000 persons) The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
is therefore applicable to the project. In compliance with to this policy an R & R Policy has been prepared and adopted by GOM for MUTP. RAP providing the overall framework of policy, entitlements, consultative processes, grevance redressal mechanism, component costs and monitoring and evaluation mechanism has already been prepared. Sub-project specific RIPs are being prepared. Indigenous People (OD 4.20) 21. This operabonal directive describes Bank policies and processing procedures for projects that affect indigenous peoples. It sets out basic definitions, policy objectves, and guidelines for the design and implementabon of project provisions or components for indigenous peoples. The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tribal groups," and "scheduled tribes" describe social groups with a social and cultural identty distinct from the dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the development process. For the purposes of this directive, "indigenous peoples" is the term that will be used to referto these groups. Indigenous peoples can be identified in particular geographical areas by the presence in varying degrees of the following characteristics: (a) a close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas; (b) self-identfication and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; (c)an indigenous language, often different from the national language;(d) presence of customary social and political insttutions; and (e) primarily subsistence-oriented production. About 1%of the PAHs of MUTP belong to the Scheduled Tribes. A field-based review was undertaken to determine if these PAHs were subject to application of this Policy since they might have originally belonged to tribal communities in the distant past. As of now they are integrated with the city life and do not have their traditional habitat or follow traditional ways of life. More particularly, (a)they no longer have close attachment to ancestral territories; (b)they do not identify themselves or are identified by others as distinct cultural group; (c) they do not speak an indigenous language; and (d) they no longer belong to customary social and political institutions. There is also a general reluctance to reveal the caste or tribe particularly pronounced when data is to be kept in public domain. It wasdetermined by the review that the social impact of the project on such people is therefore similar to thaton other PAHs and thus the policy does not apply. No separate Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) has therefore been prepared.
22.
Other Safeguard Policies 23. World Bank has other safeguard policies dealing with Pest Management, Forestry, Safety of Dams and Projects in International Waterways or in Disputed Areas These are however not applicable to MUTP.
