ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Construction of 24M Span Intermediate Lane Motor Bridge & its approach in
Km-2 of Ujjawalpur to Gwad Dungri Jaspur Motor Road in District Chamoli.
 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.1 Description of the Project Road

Proposed bridge is a New Motorable Bridge, which is to be constructed on Local River
(Aatagaad River) in Ujjawalpur to Gwad Dungri Motor Road in District Chamoli. The proposal
is to construct a new bridge which is urgently required to provide access for the school across the
bridge and it will also provide improved access to market, healthcare facilities and education
facilities for the villagers. The topography of project area is hilly terrain. At present, there is a
foot bridge upstream of the proposed bridge on this river through which it is possible to cross the
river.

1.2 Objectives of EMP

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring, and
institutional measures to be taken during the different stages of the project to eliminate adverse
environmental and social impacts, to offset them, or to reduce them to acceptable levels. The
plan also includes the actions needed for the implementation of these measures.
The broad objective of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to ensure that
Environmental and Social risks and impacts identified during the Environmental screening and
ESIA process, are effectively addressed for the pre-construction, construction, and operation
phases of the sub-project. The EMP specifies the mitigation and management measures to be
implemented in the project along with institutional arrangements for the implementation,
monitoring, and reporting, including the budget.

1.3 Key Statutory Clearances/ Permits and Licences Requirements

Based on the proposed activities of the project, the contractor has to comply with all the
relevant regulations on Environmental and Social Safeguards. The project requires several
licenses/permits under different acts and rules. The type of permits and licenses required for
the sub-project is listed under Table 1.

1.4 Proposed Site-specific Environmental Management Plan

This chapter describes the Environmental and Social Management Plan for the proposed
project during different stages of the project. An Environment and Social Management Plan
has been developed following the delineation of impacts and mitigation measures. These
measures will be adopted by the project proponent and imposed as conditions of the contract.
The Management Plan has been formulated for the implementation of environmental and
social mitigation measures to be carried out by the Contractor and to ensure that the provisions
of the EMP are strictly followed and implemented by strengthening implementation
arrangements to prevent and minimize the adverse impacts during the Construction phase of
the project. EMP has also addressed certain measures to be taken to prevent further
deterioration of the environment and social components for various stages of the project.
Table:2 The table describes the nature of the potential environmental, impacts, the mitigation
measures required to be implemented, and the implementing agency and responsible
organization.

Environment Monitoring
The objectives of environmental monitoring are: to ensure effective implementation of EMP;
comply with all applicable Environmental, safety, labour and local legislation; ensure that
public opinions and obligations are taken into account and respected to the required
satisfaction level; and modify the mitigation measures or implementing additional measures
ifrequired.
The environmental monitoring plancontains:
 All performance indicators
 Environment monitoring programme
 Necessary budgetary provisions

Performance Indicators
The physical, biological, and social components identified to be particularly significant in
affecting the environment at critical locations have been suggested as Performance Indicators
(Pls). The Performance Indicators shall be evaluated under three heads:
a) Environment condition indicators to determine the efficiency of environmental
management measures in control of air, noise, and waterpollution.
b) Environment management indicators to determine compliance with the suggested
environmental managementmeasures.
c) Performance indicators that have been devised to determine the efficiency and utility of
the proposed mitigationmeasures.The Performance Indicators and monitoring plans
prepared are presented in the Table below:

Monitoring, Communication, and Reporting

Monitoring is an essential aspect of environmental and social management plan. An
Effective monitoring of the whole project cycle will assist for the implementation of a
monitoring plan and coordination of work of the project with concerned stakeholders as well
as identify the unexpected problems/outcomes that might come in the physical, biological
and socio-economicsectors and facilitate the correction of those. Land use patterns,
settlement, health and safety, infrastructure, and implementation of the mitigation measures
are a few areas ofmonitoring. PIU and DSC are responsible for regular monitoring and
reporting of the implementation of the project.
The Environment monitoring will be carried out at all the project impact areas in a regular or
intermittent schedule.
The contractor shall: Appoint an Environmentand OHS Expert to monitor the contractor’s
compliance with the EMP. The contractor shall also ensure that the Environment Specialist
receives full support during the auditing period. The details of monitoring parameters,
schedule, and method are presented in the table given below.

The labour force required for the
construction activities has to be of a
highly skilled nature, as there is a lot of

subprojects. In addition, there is also a
requirement of unskilled labour, where
women can certainly contribute.
Apart from this, women as family

labours, will also stay in the
