60. Further, the OSDP will upgrade 49 existing and operating ITIs of the state government spread all over the state. While the cost of civil works (for hostels and strengthening of existing structures if required) will be borne by the state government. The OSDP project will fund modernization of workshops and laboratories through installation of latest equipment. The OSDP will also develop necessary training /skill enhancement programs to these ITIs.

C. Other Supporting Infrastructure at WSC

a) Sewage Treatment Plant 61. A sewerage treatment plant based on MBBR technology is planned at WSC basement. The capacity of this STP will be 230 kilo liters per day (KLD). b) Rainwater Harvesting Pits 62. At WSC building site, 10 number rainwater harvesting pits have been planned. The size of each rainwater harvesting pit will be 3 m diameter and 3 m depth. The number has been finalized based on storm water calculations. The design of rainwater harvesting pit is as per the guidelines of Central Ground Water Authority. c) Diesel Generator Sets 63. To meet the emergency power requirement in the event of disruption of grid supply, 4 generator sets with individual capacity of 1600kVA have been installed at ‘Idco Tower 2010’ (neighboring building to the WSC building). This building is in operation commercially and rented by Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Idco) to private and public entrepreneurs.

E. Students’ Hostel for WSC 65. The hostel for 2000 students is planned to be constructed as one of component of OSDP. But its location is not yet finalized. In one option, GoO is exploring the possibility of acquiring already constructed apartment blocks and in one option; it is contemplating identification of plot for the construction. The students’ hostel will not be an ADB funded facility of OSDP. The water requirements for 2000 seating capacity hostel has been estimated as 250 KLD and municipal solid waste generation around 500 kg per day. The environmental assessment of hostel facility will be undertaken once location is finalized. Since the WSC is planned in Bhubaneswar municipal corporation limits, hostel facility is also expected to be close to WSC and within the municipal limits of Bhubaneswar city. The water supply to the hostel will be from PHED and solid waste disposal will be integrated with BMC disposal facilities.

F. Executing and Implementing Agencies 66. The SDTED will be the executing agency for the proposed OSDP. The OSDA is the implementing agency. A project management unit (PMU) will be established by the SDTED at OSDA. For the civil works component, it will be assisted by Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation who are well aware of the state’s and India’s building codes and environmental rules and regulations. The PMU will also have environmental safeguard specialist. PMU and Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation will be responsible for overall planning and implementation of the civil works. They will ensure that the EARF is adhered to during project implementation. The Project Management Consulting (PMC) firm to be engaged under the proposed loan will have designated Environment and Social Safeguards specialists. They will assist PMU and Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation in supervising the civil works, ensuring that the updated IEE and EMP are implemented properly. The PMC will also assist OSDA in preparing semi-annual safeguards monitoring reports. PMU will consolidate the semi-annual reports, and submit them to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

G. Implementation Schedule 67. The implementation period for the WSC is one year. The preliminary drawings for retrofitting and refurbishment of existing building floors have been prepared and these are in the process of approval. The bidding process for the minor construction works at WSC building will be started by September 2019. The sub-project will be awarded for construction by November/December 2019. The contractor is expected to be mobilized to site by December 2019 and construction works of sub-project will begin in January2020, and work will be completed by June 2020. 68. For ITI laboratory and workshop modernization, separate equipment packages shall be prepared and any minor civil works required for installation at existing laboratories/workshop will be taken up by the bidders as part of equipment delivery and installation. These packages shall be tendered out in parallel to the WSC retrofitting civil works and equipment installation.

It is clear from the above tables that in respect of SO2 and NOx ambient air quality parameters values are well within the limits, but PM10 and PM2.5 values exceed the limits occasionally. At WSC location, values are expected to be well within the limits. . Ambient air quality monitoring will be conducted by the contractor prior to start of construction works with an aim of establishing baseline conditions. 72. It was observed that noise levels are exceeding at commercial and sensitive areas of Bhubaneswar city, but are well within the limits at industrial area. The noise levels at WSC location are expected to be within limits. Ambient air quality Noise level monitoring will be conducted by the Contractor prior to start of construction prior to establish baseline conditions. Climate 73. Bhubaneswar is located on the coastal plains of Odisha, south-west of the River Mahanadi. It experiences typical tropical weather conditions, and succumbs to the heat and cold waves that sweep in from north India. The summer months from March to May are hot and humid, and temperatures often shoot past 46°C in May. Pleasant weather conditions prevail during November in Bhubaneswar, but December and January face the chilly winds from the North North-east at average speeds of 7 miles/hour. Temperatures drop to approximately 15°C during these months. The climatic data of Bhubaneswar is given below in Table-6:

74. Temperature: The temperature exhibits seasonal variation with minimum during the winter and higher during the summer. April, May, June and July are the hottest months while January, February and December are the cold months. The maximum temperature rises to about 46°C and the minimum temperature falls to about 8.0°C. 75. Rainfall: The sub-project area experiences maximum rainfall during Monsoon season from June to September while as least Rainfall is received in December and January. The average annual rainfall is 1449.10 mm. 76. Humidity: Based on long-term climatologically data of subproject region, it is found that relative humidity increases rapidly with the onset of monsoon and reaches maximum (around 85% in the morning and 70% in the evening) during August, when peak monsoon period sets in. Relative humidity is the minimum during the winter months (December and January). Skies are heavily clouded during the monsoon months. The monthly humidity variation for has been given in Table-6 above. 77. Wind Speed and Directions: Two broad wind patterns are observed in the sub-project area viz. South to North (January to May) and south westerly to north easterly (June to October). The average wind speed is in the range of 1-- 6 m/s at Bhubaneswar (maximum in April and minimum in December). The annual wind rose diagram has been given in Figure-4 below:

Figure-4: Annual Wind Rose Diagram for Bhubaneswar

Topography and Soils 78. The topography of WSC site (Tower 2010) is plain. The elevation is around 45 m above mean sea level as Bhubaneswar lies on the western fringe of the mid-coastal plain of

54

Odisha with an average elevation of 45 m above the main sea level. It lies on the low lateritic plateaus and the erosion has made its topography a valley-and-ridge one. The area can be divided into two broad physiographic divisions, namely (a) the Western Upland and (b) the Eastern Lowland. The general slope of the land is from the west to the east, south and southwest. Most of the areas lying in the east and southeast along the three rivers have an average slope below 1o. The areas lying in the middle and northwest have an average slope ranging from 1.5⁰ to 2.0⁰. 79. It has been observed that the texture of soil is mostly sandy clay in the subproject area and surroundings. As per the secondary data /information the pH of the soil in the range of 6.7 to 7.8. The rages of electrical conductivity, phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium are 37.0 to 137.0 µS/cm, 1.7 to 40.50 kg/ha, 20.70 to 83.20 kg/ha, and 28.50 to 219.20 kg/ha respectively (Source: Environmental Impact Assessment Report of Proposed Sea Food Park at Haripur and Haridamda Villages in Bhubaneswar Tehsil, Year 2017).

Surface water and Ground water • Ground Water Resources 80. The main source of ground water recharge is by the rainfall via direct percolation to the zone of saturation. A significant part of the rainfall is lost as runoff from area while a limited percentage of rainfall therefore reaches zone of saturation and becomes the part of ground water storage after meeting the evaporation and evapo-transpiration losses. There is also ground water recharge from the return flow of irrigation water from dug wells and tube wells operated by the cultivators and from canals. The dynamic ground water resource estimated by the Central Ground Water Board for Bhubaneswar Tehsil is given below in Table-7. It is clear that subproject region is not in exploited category of CGWA and good quantity of ground water is available.

81. In order to establish baseline ground water quality data for the subproject region, data has been obtained from the secondary sources. The water quality is presented below in Table-8. It is clear from this table that some parameters of ground water quality are exceeding the limits. Due to this reason, ground water needs treatment to make it amenable for drinking. 82. The surface water source close to WSC building is River Kuakhai. The water quality data of this river has also been obtained. This data has been given in Table-9. It may be mentioned that data is for Mancheswar where WSC is to be established in ‘Idco Tower 2010’. It is clear that River water does not meet the drinking criterion of CPCB for surface

• Ground Water Levels

83. As per the CGWB report May-2013 of Khorda District the depth to water level in pre-monsoon period (2011) varies from 2.12 to 13.30 m below ground level (bgl) whereas that to post-monsoon period (2011) varies from 0.78 to 7.27 m bgl. The long term water level monitoring data of CGWB observation wells data at Bhubaneswar wells indicate a marginal declining trend (0.8 m) of average ground water levels. • Drainage of Sub-project Region 84. The subproject falls in Khorda district and this district is drained by a number of streams which are mostly tributaries and distributaries of the river Mahanadi and a few other streams discharging in to Lake Chilika. The important distributaries of Mahanadi are the Kuakhai, Bhargabi, Kushabhadra and the Daya River. The tributaries of the Mahanadi are the Ran and Kalijiri. The streams draining the southern parts of the district are Sulia, Kharia

57

and the Kusumi. All the streams are ephemeral and effluent in nature. Chilika, the largest salt water lake of India is situated in the southeastern part of the district. 85. Although the Bhubaneswar city lies on the western side of the Mahanadi Delta on the bank of river Kuakhai, a distributaries of Mahanadi along with river Daya, branching off from Kathajodi that flows along the southern part of the city, 35% of water supply depends heavily on dug well and bore wells. The subproject is located in the catchment area of Kuakhai River, therefore, this river drains the Mancheswar area.

Geology and Seismology 86. Geologically the sub-project district Khorda is formed from various geological formations namely Anorthosite, Garnetiferous Granite Gneiss, Granites, Charnokite, Kondalite/quartzite Granite Sill and Schist/Quarzite etc. of Pre-Cambrian. Athagarh formation of Sand stone, Shale, Silt stone and Conglomerate etc. of Mesozoic Laterite occur as capping over the country rocks with average thickness of 5 to 6 m and a maximum of 20 m. Unconfined Sediments are composed of Clay, Sand, Silt, Gravel Pebbles etc. and also calcareous and ferrugenious concretions of Quaternary. 87. Geologically the Bhubaneswar region belongs to the Gondwana land mass, one of the oldest and most stable landmass in the world. So the rock ranges from the Archean to the recent period. But the major part of the area is covered with the quaternary alluvium and lateritic soil (Source: International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology (Vol.4, No.1 (February 2014)). 88. India’s seismic code divides the country into five seismic zones (I to V).The sub-project stretch comes under seismic zone III as defined by Urban Earthquake Vulnerability Project (UEVP) and the Atlas prepared by the Building Materials Promotion and Technology Council (BMTPC), Government of India and UNDP [IS 1893 (Part I : 2002)]. The ‘Idco Tower 2010’ where WSC will be established has been designed considering seismic zone III. It may be mentioned that intensity of earthquake increases from Zone I to V. The Zone V mainly covers Himalayan region in India. Zones I, II and III mainly cover Central and Southern parts of Indian peninsula. Even though the City13 is located on Earthquake Zone-III, it is the high density of residential buildings which makes its more vulnerable to damage and loss. The Local Resilience Action Plan (LRAP) says that about 34 percent residential built-up areas constituting about 33 percent of residential houses are in the extreme and high earthquake risk zones of the City. More than half of wards 30 and 38 of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation come under the extreme and high earthquake risk categories. Besides, the impact of an earthquake could be felt most in commercial areas which are concentrated in central parts while industries are in the fringe areas of Bhubaneswar. The study says, about 56 percent of the commercial areas come under both extreme and high cyclone risk categories. If that is not all, at least 85 percent of commercial areas are seen as vulnerable to extreme and high flooding and 60 percent of it is also prone to earthquake hazard. Forty-eight percent of industrial areas are in the high risk category so far as earthquake is concerned. Similarly, a large segment of industrial areas are also concentrated in the extreme risk areas for both cyclone and flood.

B. Ecological Resources

Forests 89. The forest cover in Odissa state14 is 51345 sq. km of which 6967 sq. km is very dense forest. The moderately dense forest extends over 21,370 sq. km while open forest is over 23,008 sq. km. The forest cover in the state constitutes 32.98% of the geographical area. Besides this, there exists tree cover outside the forest over 2.85% of the geographical area of the State. Thus the forest and tree cover in the state is 35.83% of the geographical area. Forest cover map is shown in Figure -5.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Environmental Impacts 103. Any project creating physical infrastructure will cause some minor impacts on the environment. This updated IEE examines the potential impacts anticipated during the construction and operation of the WSC, including:

(i) Location impacts: Impact associated with site selection including effect on the environment and resettlement or livelihood related impacts on communities;

(ii) Design impacts and Pre-Construction Impacts: Impact arising from project design, including the technology used, scale of operations, discharge standards, topographic survey, geotechnical survey, etc.;

(iii) Construction impacts: Impact resulting from construction activities including site clearance, earthworks, civil works, etc.; and

(iv) Operation and Maintenance impacts: Impact associated with the operation and maintenance of the infrastructure built for the WSC.

104. ADB’s REA checklist was used while screening the site and recommending mitigation measures for the current components of OSDP. B. Location Impacts

105. The WSC is to be established in an already existing building in an Industrial estate. This building is owned by the Government of Odisha. There are no rehabilitation or resettlement issues. There is neither presence of encroachers nor has anyone been displaced in anticipation of the proposed ADB funded WSC project. There are no significant ecological resources in the surroundings WSC site as it is in the industrial estate in the outer skirts of Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha State. There are no heritage sites notified by ASI or State Archaeological Department within the 300 m distance. No significant impacts can arise due to WSC location as WSC building components will not impinge upon any area of ecological, archaeological or historical importance. The WSC site will also not require change in land use as being within industrial estate boundary. Hence WSC activities will be in conformance with the master plan. The building for the WSC to be retrofitted and refurbished is not in the immediate vicinity of national highway or state highway. Hence vehicular impacts (air and noise) on WSC building are not anticipated. 106. The subproject site is located within seismic zone III and ‘Idco Tower 2010’ has been designed following seismic coefficient of Zone III as National Building Code 2005 (amended till date). C. Impacts during Design and Pre-Construction Phase

107. As noted above, the WSC building is owned by GoO. There are no issues arising due to land acquisition or involuntary resettlement. There is no requirement for cutting of any trees or shrubs also as all retrofitting and refurbishment works will be taken up within the building. Based on the environmental screening of building location, there are no significant adverse environmental impacts during the design and Pre-construction phases.

65

D. Impacts during Construction Phase (Retrofitting and Refurbishment) 108. The existing building floors have just doors and open halls (as shown in site photographs in Appendix-8). The retrofitting works will mainly include foundations and support structures for installation of equipment and machinery for the WSC as well as for support infrastructure. The internal partitions on the floors for creation of classrooms, studios, workshops will also be part of retrofitting. The partitions will be mainly prefab structures. The works related to refurbishment will mainly take place at basement for delineation of various areas, cleaning of storage tanks and maintenance of STP infrastructure. The minor refurbishment works will include cleaning of floors and passages and making sanitation and water supply facilities operational. It may be mentioned there will be no refurbishment works on the external surface of the building as entire building has glass wall. 109. All construction activities to be undertaken for the retrofitting and building refurbishment will be approved by the PMU. The construction stage impacts due to the proposed project components are generic to the minor construction activities. The EMP emphasizes on the construction impacts and necessary mitigation measures to be strictly followed by the contractor and supervised by the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and PMU. The key potential impacts are covered in the following paragraphs. 110. Impact due to stockpiles of construction materials for Retrofitting works: Improper stockpiling of construction materials in and around the WSC could obstruct movement along access roads and surrounding buildings of the area. Hence, due consideration will be given for proper materials storage at WSC site. As far as possible all construction materials will be stored within the ‘Idco Tower 2010’ premises. Stockpiles will be covered to protect from dust and erosion or these will be stored in basement parking area of the building.

111. For refurbishment works storage of construction materials will not be required as building is new and mainly cleaning activities will be taken up. 112. Disposal of construction waste on account of Retrofitting and Refurbishment: The construction waste could lead to untidy conditions at the building and surroundings and may find its way to local drains of the Mancheswar Industrial estate. In the current sub-project of OSDP, it shall be mandatory for the contractor to ensure proper disposal of the construction waste at the disposal sites identified and approved by Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation. The waste material foreseen in refurbishment is floor cleaning dust and mud. The dust/mud laden water will be diverted to settling tank. 113. Quarry and Borrow pits operations for retrofitting and refurbishment: Since the civil works for the retrofitting are of a small size, all construction material will be procured from market. There will not be any need for direct procurement of stone dust and sand and other building materials from quarries. It will be ensured that material suppliers source the construction materials from the approved quarries. For refurbishment works no requirement for construction materials is estimated. 114. Noise and Vibration levels: Noise levels in the immediate proximity of ‘Idco Tower 2010’ are expected to increase somewhat during civil works for retrofitting. However, these will be largely imperceptible as civil works will be confined within the building which has well raised boundary wall. The duration of construction will also be relatively brief (about a year). Transportation of construction materials will be confined to day-time, depending upon extent of construction activity. The increase in noise levels is expected to be between 2-5 dB (A). This increase in noise levels will not be felt outside the boundary wall of building. This noise

66

will be intermittent in nature, and will last only during the construction phase. It is anticipated that noise levels will not exceed the specified limits of Noise for the industrial areas. But necessary monitoring of noise levels will be taken up as part of environmental monitoring plan. The noise generation activity in the building refurbishment works will be almost insignificant as it involves on floor washing and cleaning.

115. Minor vibrations on account of construction works are likely, but these vibrations are unlikely to cause any damage and these will transmit through the columns to the ground. The vibrations will not be felt outside Idco Tower 2010 complex and/or at the neighboring buildings. 116. Impacts on biodiversity during construction works for Retrofitting and Refurbishment: No impacts are expected on the biodiversity during the construction works for refurbishment and retrofitting as all works are to be taken up within the building. There are no endangered or rare species of flora and fauna in the surroundings of WSC site as it is located in an Industrial estate. 117. Disturbance to traffic during civil construction works for Retrofitting and Refurbishment: At the time of construction works, there will be some temporary inconvenience due to transportation of building materials and clearance of debris, on account of refurbishment and retrofitting works, from the building by trucks. However, since the scale of civil works is relatively small, the inconvenience caused will be relatively minor and limited only to the construction phase of about a year maximum. 118. Impact on cultural properties: The proposed WSC subproject of OSDP will not have any impact on any religious structure or any other structure of historical and/or cultural significance on account of construction works to be taken up for retrofitting and refurbishment. 119. Ground Water: Ground water will not be extracted and used for construction purposes. The contractor will arrange for water from the market. It will be supplied by the authorized water tankers. The problem of ground water contamination is also not anticipated during the construction phase since there will be proper disposal of the waste water as building has well planned drains. 120. Ambient Air Quality: Generation of dust is anticipated during transportation, material handling and construction activities. Some dust and gaseous emissions will also be generated during the construction period from machines such as mixers, and vehicles engaged in transportation of construction materials. Pollutants of primary concern at this stage include respirable (PM2.5) and suspended particulate matter (PM10) and gaseous emissions (NOx, SO2, CO, etc.). However, transportation of construction materials will be confined to a few trips per day depending upon extent of construction activity. Therefore, impact at this stage will be temporary and restricted to the close vicinity of the WSC Tower only. The dust will also be generated during floor refurbishment works. 121. All vehicles and construction equipment operating for the contractor and the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation will obtain and maintain “Pollution under Control” (PUC) certificates. To control dust emissions, vehicles deployed for borrow materials, sand and aggregate haulage, will be covered with tarpaulins to be prevent spillage. Regular sprinkling of water during loading, unloading, vehicular movement, and raw material transport will prevent spread of dust and other contaminants. Periodic air quality monitoring will be conducted to ensure that emissions to comply with the vehicle emission standards specified by the Government of India and ambient air quality standards specified by the Central Pollution Control Board. The contractor will submit emission monitoring results as a compliance with environmental monitoring plan. Air pollution related construction

67

impacts are not anticipated outside boundary wall of Idco Tower as there is well raised boundary wall. The diesel generating sets are not likely to be used for the construction works as building has electricity supply, so there will be no air emissions on account of DG set use. 122. Construction Waste: Some waste will be generated due to retrofitting and refurbishment works in the building, which will require minor removal of floor layers for the facilitation of foundations works for equipment and machinery for Facility Technology MES, Facility Technology ACR, Mechatronics, Vertical Transport and Electrical Technology. In the beauty and wellness and Hair Fashion and Design Trades, foundation works will not be required. But due to partitions and interior works for studios, some waste will be generated. Debris and discarded construction materials can be reused in fill works at other construction locations of Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation in the city. In case of none utilization, waste generated during construction and demolition will be disposed off as per law and to the satisfaction of the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and PMU. The clean-up and restoration operations will be implemented by the contractor prior to demobilization. The contractor will clear all temporary structures and dispose off all garbage from building site. Entire building and open area of building will be left tidy, at the contractors' expense as per the satisfaction the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and PMU. 123. The contractor is likely to engage local labor for various construction activities. However, in case of migrant labor has to be engaged, the contractor will establish properly designed labor camp with all basic amenities such as potable drinking water supply and sanitation facilities. Dust bins will be placed in adequate numbers. The EMP lays down some measures to address likely adverse impacts associated with the labor camp. Since the WSC building is within the urban area of Bhubaneswar city, so it is quite likely that contractor will hire a house for the accommodation of construction work force. 124. Safety Measures During Construction Phase: During retrofitting works and installation of equipment for different trades, following safety measures will be adopted:

• The safety measures as mentioned for beauty and wellness shall be followed. E. Environmental Impacts during Operation Phase

125. Since only advance skill training programs will be undertaken at the WSC, adverse environmental impacts are not anticipated during operation phase. The WSC building has adequate parking. As evident from the equipment list provided in Table-2 that there will be no air emissions from any of the equipment for all the seven trades as all the equipment will be electricity operated. The impacts have been identified related to solid waste generation during practical and demonstration classes of trainees. These have been discussed in detail in this section. The minor impacts anticipated are explained briefly: • Ambient Air Quality 126. The minor impacts on ambient air quality will include dust due to transportation, and air emissions (SO2, NOx, CO, PM10 and PM2.5) on account of DG set operations in the event of power failure. The DG Sets already installed in neighboring ‘Idco Tower 2000’ will be used in the event of power failure. No new DG set is planned in the WSC building. The DG sets installed have well raised stack height as per regulations of OSPCB. However, regular environmental monitoring will be taken as per monitoring plan to ascertain any deterioration of ambient air quality. There will be no generation of air emissions from the equipment and machinery as these will be electricity operated. • Noise and Vibration Levels 127. The noise levels will be generated on account of operation of DG sets, vehicular movement and operations of equipment and machinery in Facility Technology (Electrical and Mechanical services). The hacking noise will be generated during practical sessions and instantaneous noise levels may go up to 90 dB(A). Noise level generation is not expected in Beauty and wellness, mechatronics, electrical technology, refrigeration and air conditioning, vertical transportation and hair fashion and design trades to be taken up at the WSC. Regular noise level monitoring will be taken up as part of EMP for the operation phase. 128. The vibrations are not expected to be generated during operation phase all equipment and machinery will be fitted on well laid foundations.

• Waste Water Generation 129. The waste water generation on account of operations of WSC workshops and machinery operations except floor washings is not anticipated. The wastewater generation will be on account of sanitation facilities and floor washing. It has been estimated that there will be 2500 persons in daytime and about 230 KLD wastewater will be generated. For treatment of this wastewater a STP of 230 KLD capacity based on Multi Bed Bioreactor Technology (MBBR) has been planned and installed. • Waste Generation from Seven Trades 130. The waste generation from various trades and possible disposal have been summarized below in Table-15:

131. Toilet blocks with flushing system have been included in the building design of ‘Idco Tower 2010’. The STP will be maintained and its sludge will be disposed off in consultation with civic authorities. 132. Given the relatively small size of the WSC, there will not be any significant vehicular traffic increase on account of functioning of WSC. The students will mainly be travelling to WSC using public transport.

133. Safety Measures During Operation Phase: The design of ‘Idco Tower 2010’ includes structural and seismic safety measures required by India’s latest building codes (in seismic zone III). The other safety features are explained below:

• The WSC building will be equipped with fire-fighting systems with portable fire extinguishers and smoke detectors. The staircase will have adequate width to allow for people to exit the WSC building during any fire-related or other eventuality.

• During natural calamities, the operations will be stopped. The trainees and staff will be safely evicted as per Disaster Management plan of Odisha.

• Necessary first aid facilities will be provided at the WSC building. • Fire Fighting facilities have been planned as per National Building Code 2005

134. For operation phase, safe operating procedures will be developed as part of operation manuals by the suppliers and vendors of equipment and machinery of each trade. These safe operating procedures will be displayed at each equipment and machinery and these will be followed by the students and faculty.

135. Socio-economic Impacts: The WSC functioning will have positive socio-economic impacts since it will provide skilled youth better quality and higher starting salary jobs. It will be beneficial to industry also as WSC will be a source of trained manpower to them. 136. Flora and Fauna: Since WSC will operate within the existing building in an industrial area so no adverse impact on fauna and flora is anticipated due to its operations. Further, to enhance the natural look of the WSC building and premises, plantation of shrubs and landscaping will be taken up along the pathways and vacant space. There is no existence of any wild life park, bird sanctuary, national park or any other area notified by the GoO or MoEFCC for ecological importance within an aerial distance of 15 km from the WSC site. 137. Emergency Plan for Accident and Natural Hazards: For operation phase onsite emergency plan will be prepared by the head of the WSC team. For natural calamities the Disaster Management Plan prepared by SDTED/GoO will be followed. F. Description of Planned Mitigation Measures 138. Screening of environmental impacts is based on the magnitude and duration of the impact. Table-16 provides the potential environmental impacts and the mitigation measures including the institutional responsibilities for implementing the same.

VI. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 139. Odisha accounts for 3.47% of the country’s population; it is positioned to be one of the biggest contributors of the skilled workforce in the country. However, the core problem faced by the state is the low employability of the young workforce due to low current level of skills, weak training capacity in terms of quality and numbers, fragmented skills ecosystem and poor industry linkages. Further, the current training capacity and quality is inadequate to meet the 12th five year plan target of training one million people. In Odisha, the Industrial Training Institutes (ITI)/ Industrial Training Centers (ITC) combined has an estimated capacity of around 75,000 seats per year, far below to address the skill potential in the state. Hence, the proposed program is the necessity of today for Odisha. 140. The WSC is being established and developed in the existing building, so consumption of natural resources has already been minimized. Further, the ‘Idco Tower 2010’ is already located in Mancheswar Industrial Estate area of Bhubaneswar, so impact on flora and fauna will be minimal. The freshwater allocation is already from the PHED supply. Hence the utilization of ‘Idco Tower 2010’ for the establishment of WSC will have minimum environmental impacts.

83

VII. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT & RESPONSIBILITIES 141. The executing agency for the project will be the Government of Odisha (GoO) acting through the Skill Development and Technical Education Department (SDTED). A Project Management Unit (PMU) will be established in SDTED. The project will be implemented through the PMU and IA (OSDA). 142. The OSDA will be responsible for (a) establishing and operating the WSC; (b) managing project funds including but not limited to payments, accounting, auditing, etc.; (c) contracting civil works for retrofitting and refurbishment in ‘Idco Tower 2010’, consultants, service providers, and other contracts; and (d) coordinating with PMU for smooth implementation of the project. The PMU and OSDA will be supported by a team of project management consultant (PMC) who would be engaged by OSDA. There will be an Environment and Social Management Cell (ESMC) within OSDA. This ESMC will comprise of one environmental safeguard specialist, one social safeguard specialist and one Gender Specialist. Additionally, OSDA will also hire services of external agency (ies)/expert(s) as per requirement to meet the objectives of EMP.

143. Similarly, the civil works contractor at WSC building will also have one designated and qualified HSE officer having experience of 5 years. He/she will be responsible for implementing the proposed EMP. In case of none availability of designate HSE officer, a suitable penal action will be taken against the contractor on recommendation of ESMC.

144. The role of PMC in OSDP is of critical importance in not only providing technical and knowledge services through a dedicated cadre of professionals in different domains of the project but also assist the core team of OSDA in strengthening the eco-system of skills development in the state of Odisha and develop a pioneering example of support and capacity building services in skills development. The project implementation arrangements with respect to safeguards implementation has been shown in Figure-6. It may be mentioned that for establishment of WSC in the existing ‘Idco Tower 2010’, minor civil works pertaining to retrofitting are required, hence the environmental safeguard specialist, in PMU shall be responsible for environmental safeguards related issues.

VIII. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) A. General

145. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure the minimum degradation in environmental quality and better socio-economic conditions within the local area and/or region due to the construction and operation of the proposed facility. The EMP with monitoring plan focuses on direct impacts, which are identified as having the potential to cause significant impacts on the environment aspects and identifies: • Specific control measures that will be taken to prevent, reduce or manage the

environmental and social impacts; and • Where it is not possible to specify these at this stage, the level of environmental and

social performance that will be expected.

146. It will be ensured that environmentally critical actions are undertaken as per the various relevant regulatory requirements. There will be an ESMC at PMU, overseeing all environment, safety and social responses to ensure that implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring program including findings from monitoring results. 147. The extent of monitoring activities, including their scope and periodicity, will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. The parameters to be monitored, frequency and duration of monitoring as well as the locations to be monitored will be as per the monitoring plan prepared as part of the EMP. Implementation of the EMP during construction will be done by the contractor and supervised by environmental specialist of PMU.

148. The budget for environmental monitoring will be included as part of civil works. This plan will require environmental monitoring mechanisms to be used to indicate the effectiveness of the EMP in mitigating negative impacts. 149. The EA has the overall responsibility of fulfilling environmental requirements of the GoO and monitoring the implementation of the EMP for WSC.

150. During the design and pre-construction stage, monitoring will be the responsibility of OSDA supported by the EA. This is mainly in the form of review and verification of designs and incorporation of mitigation measures into design and contract documents. Mitigation measures to be taken during the construction stage will be mostly implemented by the main contractor. 151. The EMP for the WSC for the project lifecycle (pre construction, construction, and operation phases) has been given in Tables-17 to 19.

B. Responsibility for updating IEE during Pre-Construction and Construction 152. Responsibility for monitoring. During construction, the Environmental Specialist of the ESMC cell at OSDA PMU and the designated representative engineer of the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation will monitor the contractor’s performance. During the operation phase, monitoring will be the responsibility of the PMU. The Environmental specialist will prepare semi-annual reports. 153. Responsibility for Reporting: OSDA will submit semi-annual reports on the implementation of the EMP to ADB. It will permit ADB to field environmental review missions to examine in detail, the environmental aspects of the project. Any major lapses in adhering

85

to the EARF and updated IEE and / or EMP for WSC should be reported to ADB immediately. The safeguard specialist of PMU will finalize environmental monitoring report. For any non- compliance observed, corrective actions will be taken in a time bound manner. The cost for mitigating none compliance will be borne by the contractor as per contract provisions. In case of mitigation costs not coming in scope of contract, these will be met out of contingencies built in EMP cost and in overall project cost.

The mechanism shall use an understandable and transparent process that addresses the affected people‘s concerns and complaints promptly. 171. The affected person(s)/aggrieved party can give their grievance verbally or in written to the local site office of WSC. Grievances of affected person will first be brought to the attention of the construction manager, who can resolve the issue at the site level. If the matter is not solved within 7 days period by the site in charge/project manager of contractor, it will be brought to the Grievance Redress Committee constituted at subproject (WSC) site level. This GRC shall discuss the issue in its monthly meeting and resolve the issues within one month of time after receiving the grievance. If the matter is not resolved by GRC at site level within stipulated time, it shall be referred to GRC at OSDA corporate office level by the Deputy Director Administration of OSDA, who will be member of GRC at WSC site level. 172. GRC at OSDA corporate office shall discuss the issue and try to resolve it and inform the site in charge/construction manager. If the matter is not resolved by the GRC at corporate level within one month of time, it will be referred to the project steering committee at Government of Odisha level. This committee will resolve the complaint within one month time and will inform OSDA CEO who in turn will inform site in charge or complainant.

173. It may be mentioned that the aggrieved person/party can bring the matter to The Court of Law any time after filing the complaint either at site level or PMU level. The PIU and sub-project site office shall keep records of all grievances received including contact details of complainant, date of receiving the complaint, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected and final outcome. For this a complaint register will be maintained at WSC site office. The cost for functioning of Grievance Redress Mechanism will be accounted for in project cost as part of project cost. .

174. Further, person(s) / aggrieved party who are, or may be, adversely affected by the sub-project may submit complaints to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism. The accountability mechanism provides an independent forum and process whereby people can voice, and seek a resolution of their problems, as well as report alleged violations of ADB’s operational policies and procedures. Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, affected person(s) / aggrieved party should first make a good faith effort to solve their problems by working with the ADB South Asia operations department including the India Resident Mission.

B. Processing of Complaint 178. Different problems will be addressed in different manners depending on the type of grievance; however the generic approach to resolution of all grievances will include the following steps:

• The complaint received will be reviewed and screened for the factual details and will be considered for resolution at the WSC site office level. The grievance will be assessed to determine if the issues raised in the complaint fall within the mandate of the grievance mechanism and the complainants have standing.

• If the complainant requires intervention then it will be considered for resolution otherwise it will be rejected and the same will be communicated to the concerned

121

• Complainant. • The grievance will be evaluated to clarify the issues and concerns raised in the

complaint, to gather information on how others see the situation, and to identify whether and how the issues might be resolved.

• All options for solving problems will be explored, with or without the assistance of independent and third parties: - Internal decision-making processes, whereby issues are handled by OSDA

officials, using stated standards and criteria, to develop and propose a company response to the grievance and to allow for an appeals process.

- Joint problem solving, in which OSDA officials and the complainant engage in direct dialogue.

- Third-party decision making to offer a solution when a voluntary agreement is not possible.

• Grievance tracking, monitoring, and reporting to the community will be undertaken as soon as a mutual consent is arrived at.

C. Communication of Mechanism to Stakeholders 179. Formal information of Grievance Redressal Committee or GRM will be communicated to the respective stakeholders and nominated members of the committee. This communication can be made through official notification of OSDA CEO and also through the display board at WSC site Office. At the display board name of site incharge, phone number, email address etc. will be clearly mentioned. D. Meeting of Grievance Redressal Committee 180. The site committee will meet at least once every fortnight in the first 6 months of implementation, and thereafter once, every month. At every Grievance Redressal Committee meeting the issues raised in the last meeting and report on action taken, will be summarized. Issues that cannot be resolved at the GRC would be referred / directed to next designated levels. The Corporate Committee will convene their meetings as and when required. E. Closing of Grievance 181. The complaints lodged in the GRC Register will be resolved amicably by the above mechanism and closed by informing to the complainant directly with closing signatures on the GRC Register or by sending registered post to the complainant, in case he is not approachable. The resolution shall be informed to the local civic body office.

F. Information disclosure 182. The reviewed and approved IEE (updated version) report of WSC will be disclosed on ADB site. 183. The updated IEE report will also be translated in local language and disclosed at OSDA web site, local municipal office and WSC site. 184. The IA will also submit biannual EMR to ADB on the progress of implementation of the EMP. The ADB will review, approve, and disclose the EMR on ADB web site.

XI. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT FOR EXISTING EIGHTEEN STOREY BUILDING 185. This chapter ascertains presence of any residual environmental impacts due to implementation of works for existing 18 storeys building known as ‘Idco Tower 2010and suggests appropriate, time-bound corrective measures to address those residual environmental impacts. The Idco Tower 2010is new construction and there are no activities pertaining to industrial or commercial within it. There are no encroachment and /or squatters as the building is new and properly fenced with boundary wall. The building is located in the Mancheswar Industrial Estate. 186. The building has been constructed by the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation, a GoO Department responsible for creation of infrastructure for the industrial development in the State. The ownership of this building will be transferred in the name of OSDA in the due course before start of civil works for the retrofitting and refurbishment of the building. 187. The prior environmental clearance (EC) for the construction of building was obtained from MOEFCC (attached as Appendix-11) by the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation. The compliance the EC was also examined as part of environmental audit. It has been noted that environmental clearance conditions stipulated for design and construction phase have been complied with (given in Appendix-12) by the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and there has been regular submission of compliance reports (semi-annually) to MoEFCC.

188. The other regulatory compliances such as building bylaws, solid wastes (e-waste, municipal waste, and battery waste) management handling, and disposal and labor laws pertaining to safety and remunerations have also been complied with. Compliance with the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, Battery (Management and Handling) Rules 2011 and E- Waste Management Rules 2016 is done.

189. It was observed that in the basement floor, vehicle parking area has been delineated. Besides this, air conditioning plant, STP (230 KLD capacity), fire water storage, raw water storage, water treatment plant, rainwater collection storages and three rainwater harvesting recharge pits have been constructed. Landscaping works have been taken up on ground floor. The photographs of various floors of building have been given in Appendix 8. There is no encroachment in the building as it is well fenced and has regulated entry through the manned gate. Findings and Areas of Concerns 190. The field based environmental due diligence/audit findings are summarized below:

(i) All conditions of environmental clearance conditions have been complied with during the construction of ‘Idco Tower 2010’.

(ii) There are no residual impacts as after completion of construction works the building is closed in neat and clean condition for occupancy.

(iii) No ground water was extracted for the construction of building. The topsoil was stored safely and later utilized in landscaping works.

(iv) Regular environmental monitoring in respect of ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels was conducted to check the efficacy of mitigation measures implemented as part of EMP implementation.

(v) The approval of competent authority was obtained for the structural safety of building.

(vi) Ready Mixed concrete was used in the building construction works.

123

(vii) The EMP prepared as part of environmental clearance application was implemented during pre- construction and construction phases.

124

XII. FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS 191. The proposed OSDP will support the GoO in increasing the employment and productivity of its working age population by strengthening the capacity to supply high quality, market-responsive skills training in line with the growth priorities and strategies of the state. The existing 49 ITIs upgradation and construction of new ITIs will further strengthen quality of training at ITI level and integration of these with WSC will provide students an opportunity to enhance their skills at WSC. Based on the site visits and environmental investigations carried out and environmental audit of the ‘Idco Tower 2010’ building, the establishment of WSC in this existing building (by retrofitting of building floors),it has been concluded that category of OSDP remains to be “B”. The environmental audit of building concludes that there are no residual impacts. This updated Initial Environment Examination report including environmental management plan has been prepared based on latest details of OSDP components. 192. The updated initial environmental examination process described in the earlier sections of this report assessed the environmental impacts of all components proposed under the OSDP. The potential negative impacts were identified related to design, location, construction and operations. The negative impacts due to the design and location are assessed to be minimal, and due to minimal operational and maintenance activities, there are no major negative impacts of operation either. The potential adverse environmental impacts of the proposed OSDP are mainly related to the construction period and which can be minimized by the proposed mitigating measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.

193. The mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. As stated above, most impacts are due to construction works to be carried out within the existing building floors. The main impacts identified are: generation of dust and noise from construction activities; impacts due to disposal of construction waste; disturbance and inconvenience to local people and public safety during retrofitting- construction works. These impacts are mostly temporary in nature and can be effectively avoided or mitigated by observing appropriate mitigation measures. It is recommended to ensure preparation of a construction site management plan incorporating the suggested mitigation measures for ensuring site specific safeguard measures. An environmental monitoring plan has been developed to assess the environmental performance of subproject implementation. The mitigation measures proposed in the management plan will be incorporated in project design and implemented as part of the WSC development. There are no residual impacts pertaining to environmental safeguards for existing 18 storey building. 194. This initial environmental examination has been conducted to identify and assess negative impacts. All components proposed under OSDP involve straightforward minor construction works for retrofitting and simple operation. Not many environmental issues were noticed during this initial environmental examination. In most cases, environmental issues identified are typical for the type of construction components, and a range of proven mitigation strategies exist to address them. This Updated IEE has assessed all potential environmental impacts associated with the WSC development and operations. There are no impacts, which are significant or complex or which needs an in-depth study to assess the impact or to develop the mitigation measures. The environmental impacts identified are manageable, and the EA will implement the mitigation measures as stated in the updated IEE. The OSDP therefore does not warrant environmental impact assessment (EIA).

B. Potential Environmental Impacts Will the Project cause…

Impairment of historical/cultural areas; disfiguration of landscape or potential loss/damage to physical cultural resources? √

The WSC building is located within the municipal limits of Bhubaneswar city in an Industrial area so it will not cause any impairment of historical /cultural areas or disfiguration of landscape and damage to physical resources.

Disturbance to precious ecology (e.g. sensitive or protected areas)? √

The OSDP components taken up for will not cause any disturbance to precious ecology.

Alteration of surface water hydrology of waterways resulting in increased sediment in streams affected by increased soil erosion at construction site? √

Since all civil works related construction activities are to be taken in the existing building so there is no question of alteration of surface water hydrology, increased sediment in streams and soil erosion.

Deterioration of surface water quality due to silt runoff and sanitary wastes from worker-based camps and chemicals used in construction?

√

The labour quarters for retrofitting works at WSC building within the Tower 2010 premises which as all sanitation facilities so no question of any surface water getting affected. Since there will be minor construction works for retrofitting so no chance of any usage of any chemicals.

Increased air pollution due to project construction and operation?

√

The minor construction activities for retrofitting in WSC building are expected to generate mainly dust on account of excavation and movement of construction material; and minor emissions of gaseous pollutants such as SO2, and NOx due to construction machinery. These will be mitigated through appropriate dust suppression methods and pollution control equipment fitted to machinery.

Noise and vibration due to project construction or operation?

√

The construction activities and the operation of construction machinery are expected to generate noise. No piling work or heavy equipment is envisaged to be used that could cause vibrations. Further, minor construction works will be taken up within the closed building, so the noise and vibrations will not be felt outside. However, adequate mitigation arrangements will be made to control noise levels within regulatory norms.

Involuntary resettlement of people? (physical displacement and/or economic displacement) √

All the OSDP activities will be taken up in the GoO own land and building premises so there is no question of involuntary resettlement.

127


Disproportionate impacts on the poor, women and children, Indigenous Peoples or other vulnerable groups?

√

All the OSDP activities during construction and operation will be confined within the existing buildings both during construction and operation so question of impacts on poor, children, Indigenous Peoples and Vulnerable groups

Poor sanitation and solid waste disposal in construction camps and work sites, and possible transmission of communicable diseases (such as STD's and HIV/AIDS) from workers to local populations?

√
