Meghalaya Integrated Transport Project  Environmental and Social Impact Assessment   Executive Summary      1. Introduction     In Meghalaya, over 80 percent of freight and almost cent percent of passenger movement within the  state depends on roads. Yet, about half of the habitations lack all‐weather road access. The problem  is  further  compounded  by  difficult  terrain  and  extreme  climatic  condition,  leading  to  high  maintenance cost of the roads. Similarly, rapid urbanisation has created a huge gap between demand  and supply of urban services and infrastructure. To overcome the abovementioned challenges in a  holistic and all‐inclusive manner, the Government of Meghalaya, with financing and technical support  from  the  World  Bank,  is  preparing  a  project  titled  “Meghalaya  Integrated  Transport  Project”.  The  objective  of  the  project  is  to  “provide  a  well‐connected  efficient,  good  quality  and  safe  transport  network on long‐term basis in a cost‐effective manner maximizing economic and social outcomes”.  The components of the project include:     Component I: Improved Transport Connectivity   This component will support (i) construction/rehabilitation of strategic State Highways (SH) and Major  District Roads (MDR) including standalone bridges, (ii) replacement of semi‐permanent Timber Bridges  which are in dilapidated condition, (iii) pilot projects on ropeways, non‐PMGSY roads, and footbridges  and footpaths to provide connectivity to small and scattered habitations, and (iv) pilot projects on  performance‐based maintenance contracts (PBMC).     Component 2: Improvement of Transport Efficiency:   This component will support investments through pilot projects on improved transport infrastructure  to reduce congestion and improve urban mobility, road safety demonstration corridors, and technical  assistance.     Component  3:  Modernize  Transport  Institutions  (about  5  percent  of  the  project  cost;  Technical  Assistance):   This component is intended to modernize overall transport sector management, including through  the development and implementation of a Transport Sector Modernization Plan (TSMP).     2. Objectives of the Study    The study has the following objectives:    a  baseline  database  containing  the  environmental  and  social  features  and  issues  in  the  immediate vicinity of proposed road corridors;   structures likely to be affected by the widening/improvement proposal;   highlight adverse social impacts and suggest measures to minimize / mitigate social impacts  that the project‐affected people may face such as loss of livelihood, physical relocation, loss  of access to community facilities, etc. and identify positive impacts that proposed project may  bring in.   identify key environmental issues and mitigation measures for negative impacts, as well as  enhancement activities for positive impacts   understand  the  policy  and  regulatory  framework  to  guide  development  of  appropriate  management plans to ensure compliance with the applicable national and state requirements  as well as policies of the World Bank   develop  resettlement  action  plan  to  avoid,  reduce  or  mitigate  likely  negative  impacts  of  project and enhance positive impacts, sustainability and development benefits;   carry out an environmental impact assessment to develop environmental management plan  for each road describing mitigation measures and enhancement measures to be implemented  as part of the project

Monitoring of pollution in sample representative locations to establish levels of air, noise and  water quality as well as tree survey and other biodiversity related studies as appropriate   Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment including Environmental Management Plan    Social     Conduct detailed Social Impact Assessment (SIA) for 128 km of priority stretch in accordance  with Bank’s applicable Operational Policies and Central and State government laws. Carry out  Census and Socio‐Economic Survey of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to get the base line  information and likely impacts.   Preparation of Strip Plan showing existing structures likely to be affected along the project  road   Conduct consultations with identified stakeholders and project‐affected persons/community.     Coordinate with DPR Consultant to ensure integration of SIA findings in engineering design.    Prepare as necessary Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), Resettlement Action Plan (RAP),  Tribal (Indigenous) Peoples Policy Framework (TPPF), Indigenous People Development Plan  (IPDP), Gender Action Plan; and Labor Management Procedure.    4. Methodology     The Meghalaya Integrated Transport Project (MITP) follows World Banks Operational Policies, and the  project client is responsible for preparing all project safeguard documents.  An Environment and Social  Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared under the project which includes procedures and  mitigation methods along with appropriate institutional arrangements for screening and reviewing  sub‐projects  and  monitoring  the  implementation  of  mitigation  measures  to  prevent  adverse  environmental impacts. The preparation of the EIA and EMP for each road has been undertaken in  line with guidance provided in the ESMF as well as Government of India guidelines for Road/Highway  projects,  EIA  notification  2006  and  amendment  of  MOEFCC  and  Highway  sector  guidance  manual  2010. The steps in preparing the EIA and EMP are as follows:      Identification of alignment specific environmental constraints using a screening checklist:  The  hot  spots  identified  during  the  screening  exercise  The  results  of  this  analysis  are  communicated  to  the  design  team  for  action  (including  recommendation  for  exclusion,  analysis of alternative alignment and/or mitigation) as a precursor to preliminary engineering  design and undertaking the required environmental assessment studies.   Review of the policies, legislation, and regulation governing road improvements in Meghalaya  as well as World Banks applicable Operational Policies and EHS guidelines     Collection of data from primary and secondary sources; Information on Climate, Soil, Geology,  Slopes,  Drainage,  Forests,  Settlements,  Cultural  Heritage  etc  from  line  departments,  topographic sheets, and Census data. In addition, field surveys were carried out for assessing  the ambient air, water, soil and noise quality, Enumeration of trees to identify the Location,  number,  types  spread,  girth  etc.  Local  name,  nos.  of  the  trees  within  the  proposed  RoW,  Ecological surveys to identify the habitats and the flora and fauna, Structure enumeration to  identify the one likely to be impacted and Socio‐economic surveys to identify the condition of  the impacted persons   Consultations with stakeholders, including public meetings and focused group meetings with  local communities, village headman and forest department and Autonomous District Council  (ADC) representatives.    Information  analysis  to  identify  potential  significant  impacts  based  on  baseline,  socio‐ economic and environmental conditions at site and results of public consultations    Preparation of an Environment Management Plan which is a summary of all actions which the  Project has committed to execute with respect to environmental/social/health performance  for the Project, including includes mitigation measures, compensatory measures and offsets  and management and monitoring activities.    Social    The Social Impact Assessment and resettlement action plan has been prepared based on both primary  and secondary data. Secondary data source includes Gazetteer of project districts and District Census  Details  of  2011.  To  assess  the  socio‐economic  condition,  a  questionnaire  was  developed  and  canvassed  among  the  affected  households  for  census  and  socio‐economic  survey  of  the  project  affected persons within the identified corridor width.  Intensive consultation was carried out with the  community as well as officials. Following steps were followed during the Social impact assessment and  preparation of RAPs:  Step  1:  Reconnaissance  Survey  and  Screening  to  identify  sections  with  social  issues  and  identify stakeholders through discussions with project authorities and community members  along the project corridors.  Step 2: Ascertaining right of way through collection of records from Public Works Department   Step 3: Conducting Census and Socio‐economic Survey as per design.    Step 4: Identifying social hotspots  Step 5: Feedback to design team regarding land and displacement. This helped in modification  of design to reduce impacts.   Step 6: Identifying Actual PAPs by superimposing design on social strip plans  Step 7: Documenting social impacts and preparing mitigation Plan    Consultations  As  part  of  the  Social  Impact  Assessment  process,  detailed  consultations  were  conducted  with  all  stakeholders. In all 8 consultations were carried out. The main objectives of the consultation program  were to minimize negative impact in the project corridors and to make people aware of the project.  During  the  process  efforts  were  made  to  ascertain  the  views  and  preferences  of  the  people.  The  community consultation aimed to understand views of the people affected with respect to the impacts  of the road and to identify and assess all major economic and sociological characteristics of the village  to enable effective planning and implementation.  A state level workshop on the ESMF was held in the state headquarter on October 23, 2019 chaired  by  the  Secretary,  P.W.D.(R&B).    Public  Works  Department  explained  the  objectives  of  ESMF  and  provided information on the proposed project.  The role of other concerned Departments and how  that will  be  coordinated  was  also  explained.    The  department also  informed  that  in certain places  community is willing to donate their  land for widening of roads and are more concerned with the  provision of footpath especially in school and market junction. Others who are having agricultural land  and paddy fields, are demanding proper drainage and retaining walls. Community has also demanded  that existing temporary market to be replaced with permanent sheds and for long stretch of roads,  community  toilets  cum  bus  shed  be  provided  and  these  toilets  will  be  maintained  by  the  women  members of the community. The participants agreed with the process adopted and provisions made  in the ESMF.    5. Impacts     Environment     Since proposed project road sections only involves widening of  existing road within available ROW  without  any  land  acquisition,  impacts  on  any  land  use  or  habitat  change  are  anticipated  to  be  insignificant during construction and operation phases. There could be disturbances to forests and  biodiversity during construction as well as indirect and cumulative impacts where road sections pass  through or are proximate to forests and critical natural habitats. The project will result in the cutting  of  about  428  trees  in  Meghalaya  East  and  433  trees  in  Meghalaya  for  10  road  sections  under  the  project.  Much  of  the  areas  under  the  project  are  geologically  young,  resulting  in  soft/fragile  substrates. Another complicating  factor  is the high  monsoon rainfall throughout most parts of the  project road section. These factors mean that project area conditions are amongst the most difficult  in the region for road construction with landslides frequently caused by inappropriate construction  techniques, slope instability, and inadequate drainage are major problems and are associated with all  types of road construction. It should be noted that a significant number of landslides that occur in the  vicinity of road are caused by factors/features only indirectly linked to the road itself – frequently,  irrigation channels, logging, quarrying and cultivation practices. Other impacts include land clearing  and  grubbing  which  will  remove  vegetation  and  soil  cover  which  may  cause  soil  erosion  during  monsoons. Excavations in borrow pits may lead to loss of top soil and soil erosion. Further, there is  risk  of  stream  and  river  bank  erosion  near  bridges  and  cross  drainage  works.  There  is  the  risk  of  contamination  of  soil  from  construction  material  and  oil  spills.  Deterioration  of  water  quality  may  occur  near  the  construction  camp  and  active  construction  camps.  There  will  also  be  a  significant  amount of dust generation during project construction.     Social   Meghalaya East  There is no project affected households in roads selected in Meghalaya East.  The road widening is  being carried out within the available ROW.  The number of projects affected households on each road  section  were  screened  using  information  on  available  RoW  and  proposed  formation  width.    The  proposed formation width and requirement of right of way were reviewed to ensure no impacts.   Meghalaya West  Out of five proposed road sections in west Meghalaya under MITP, three roads namely  Bajengdoba  Resu  Mendipathar  Damra  Road;  Parallel  Road  to  existing  Dalu  Baghmara  Road;  and  Rongjeng  Mangsang Adokgre (44th to 55th km)  Ildek A’kong to  A’dokgre will require approximately 0.5 ha of  private land.   The project in all will impact 20 households across all five road corridors of which 14 are  non‐titleholders.    Half  of  the  affected  households  are  from  Bajengdoba  Resu  Mendipathar  Damra  Road in North Garo Hill district.  A total of 80 persons will be impacted by the project in Meghalaya  West of which 56 will be displaced. All 14 non‐titleholders will be displaced. A total of 11 common property resources will be partially affected that includes boundary wall of 4  schools; part of 2 play grounds; boundary wall of 3 churches and two community hall. None of these  common property needs relocation.  6. Mitigation Measures     Environment     All  roads  that  are  passing  through  or  proximate  to  reserve  forests,  national  parks  and  wildlife  sanctuaries  are  subject  to  clearance  from  the  State  Environment  Impact  Assessment  Authority/  Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and State Forest Department and will  follow any guidance issued by the concerned authority. The roads requiring clearance are identified  as    Umling‐Patharkama  Road  section  of  3  km  length  (from  km  18  to  km  21)  passing  through  through ESZ of Nongkhyliem Wild Life Sanctuary (NWLS)    Agia Medhipara Phulbari Tura (AMPT) Road which has two forest area running across the road  section of (1st to 32nd kms) with occasional elephant crossings observed at 7 sections on the  road    Rongrenggre Darugre (RRD) Road which lies at a distance of 7km from the Nokrek National  Park and in the buffer zone of the Nokrek UNESCO Biosphere Reserve    Parallel  road  to  Dalu  Baghmara  Road  is  passing  through  two  reserved  forest  areas  viz.  Gobrakura R.F., Angratoli R.F. The Gobrakura R.F. Further it lies in proximity to the Balpakram  National  Park  situated  at  a  distance  of  11  Km  and  the  Baghmara  Pitcher Plant  Sanctuary  situated at a distance of 20 Km    Rongjeng Mangsang Adokgre (44th to 55th km) Ildek A’kong to A’dokgre road passes through  the Ildek R.F. and there is a considerable amount of biodiversity observed with eco‐sensitive  areas in Ilpasses throdek River at the starting point of the project road.    Further, all cut trees will be compensated at the rate of 1:10. Climate change mitigation measures  have also been considered in designing of project road sections to address climate risks of identified  in the State. The measures undertaken include: design of cross‐drainage structures based on rainfall  data  of  the  project  area,  accommodation  of  improvement  proposal  within  existing  right  of  way  following existing alignment, to avoid impacts on trees, land and existing structures, tree plantation  on valley side and application of Bio‐engineering and engineering and bio technology treatment for  identified landslide zones on each road section, dumping areas for muck disposal has been identified  at the designing stage for proper management of muck generated from project roads, protection and  breast walls have been proposed at required locations; and construction of side drains to minimize  soil erosion and water pollution. For all impacts that can be directly undertaken by the Contractor,  relevant portions of the Environmental Management Plan form a part of the bidding/Works Contract  document – These include guidelines on muck disposal, erosion control measures, handling of fuel  and  lubricant  storage,  and  identification  of  disposal  sites.  Special  attention  will  be  paid  to  water  tapping points (springs) along the road alignments created by community to divert stream water for  their domestic purposes.   Social   Loss of private property:  The individual losses will be compensated as per the agreed entitlement matrix of the project (see  annex 1).  During the survey PAPs were specifically asked about their preference for rehabilitation in  case they are affected / displaced by the proposed project. Most of the affected PAPs opted for cash  grant. However, educated PAPs demanded permanent employment either with PWD or contractors.  Training for skill upgradation or activities allied had very few takers. Indigenous Peoples Development Plan  While the road sections proposed under the project are expected to facilitate development of roads  within district, these roads also seem to have the potential to boost local level trade and improving  linkages of the villages in the interiors with the local and regional markets.  For better acceptance of  the  project,  project  intends  to  create  benefit  sharing  arrangements  with  communities  along  the  project roads. Based on careful considerations of the potential activities, the mandate of the PWD  department (executing the road project), the complexity of implementation of the options, and the  sustained effort that that may be required to make it viable, following activities in consultation with  the community have been selected:   i. Construction of market sheds along the road at a convenient location in villages to sell their  green products (i.e. vegetable and fruits) etc.  ii. Provision of streetlight and footpath in habitation areas along the road sections    iii. Development of safe play grounds for cultural and recreation activities  iv. Skill development in backyard poultry and piggery   v. Organizing capacity building of the community institutions to take up the proposed activities     The project in addition will have the following key features to eliminate any scope of exclusion of tribal  households:    Awareness  generation  Activities  and  Informed  Consultations:  Any  future  activity  in  the  project  will  ensure conducting FPICs, with tribal communities to generate awareness on the project and assess  interest and demand for any project interventions. For this purpose, suitable culturally compatible IEC  materials would be prepared/used. These would be undertaken at all stages of the project i.e. while  preparing and later implementing for effectively reaching out to the communities. During these FPICs,  broad community support to the proposed interventions will be documented.  Representation:  Adequate  representation  for  women  and  tribal  would  be  ensured  in  any  of  institutions  formed  under  the  project.  Also  such  representation  would  be  ensured  in  any  training,  exposure visits, etc.  Labour Management Plan  The SIA results shows that labour influx for construction works can lead to a variety of adverse social  and  environmental  risks  and  impacts  such  as  conflicts  between  the  local  community  and  the  construction workers; increased risk of illicit behaviour and crime; impacts on community dynamics;  increased  burden on  and  competition  for  public service provision;  increased  risk  of communicable  diseases  and  burden  on  local  health  services;  gender‐based  violence;  local  inflation  of  prices;  and  increased pressure on accommodations and rent.  Based on the Sia results, a labour management plan  has been prepared and that will be implemented by the contractor. 7. Institutional Arrangement     Due  to  is  wide  scope,  the  project  activities  will  be  implemented  by  many  agencies:  Public  Works  Department (PWD), Urban Affairs (UA) Department, Department of Tourism, Transport Department  and  Community  and  Rural  Development  Department.  The  Meghalaya  Infrastructure  Finance  Development  Corporation  (MIFDC)  set  up  under  the  Planning  Department  will  be  responsible  for  overall  planning,  coordination,  implementation  and  monitoring  of  the  project  along  with  various  departments.  While  MIDFC  will  be  responsible  for  overall  environmental  and  social  safeguards  implementation, the roll out Environmental and Social Safeguards will be carried out by the Public  Works Department.   An Environmental and Social cell will be established within the PWD. This cell will be headed by an  Executive Engineer level of officer. He / She will be supported by two staff with environment and social  backgrounds to be hired specifically from outside. A resource expert can be hired to develop simple  guidelines on environment and social for clearer understanding by PWD staff and to start with staff  be trained on such aspects regularly. Once trained and strengthened, Secretary also agreed to use  environmental and social mainstreaming in all the DPRs of roads and other infrastructure work to be  taken up by PWD in the state.   The implementation of the EMP, pertaining to Civil Works, will be undertaken by the contractor. The  contractor team is required to have an environmental and safety officer for day‐to‐day supervision of  the  works.  They  will  also  undertake  periodic  environmental  monitoring  to  confirm  the
