Guidance on sub-project categorization
1 Introduction
Consultants preparing the CIP for the ULB have to use this guidance for categorization of sub-projects. This guidance document recommends the sub-project categorization based on the nature, scale and magnitude of the social and environmental impacts. The general rule for classifying sub-projects is as follows:
• Social
o Sa: More than 200 PAPs
o Sb: Between 1 and 200 PAPs
o Sc: Minimal or No PAPs
• Environmental
o Ea: Significant adverse environmental impacts
o Eb: Moderate adverse environmental impacts
o Ec: Minimal or no adverse environmental impacts
If the application of the general rule goes contrary to the recommended categorization given for specific sub-project type, then the categorization as per the general rule would become applicable.

Guidance on Sub-project environmental impacts and mitigation measures
1 Introduction
This guidance includes a table listing the impacts and mitigation measures of the various sub-projects in the different urban sub-sectors. The table also includes the project phase, where each of the mitigation measures needs to be considered and also indicates the implementation responsibility.
2 How the table should be used
1 For Ea sub-projects
This category of sub-projects requires a full-fledged EA that are to be done by environmental consultants separate from the design consultants. The impacts and mitigation measures given in the table should be used to identify the key / important issues.
2 For Eb sub-projects
For this category of sub-projects, the design consultants have to prepare an EMP. This table should be used to develop the EMP by the design consultants. The same format – as included in this table – can be used to prepare the table of mitigation measures in the sub-project EMP. The subsequent guidance document provides a sample EMP for a typical urban roads project.

Guidance on EIA of Ea category Sub-Projects
1 Introduction
Ea sub-projects require a full EIA to be done by environmental consultants separate from the design consultants. The environmental consultants have to closely interact with the design consultants in order to obtain the necessary data, information, reports and support as required. The EIA process has to be carried out, and the EIA & EMP reports have to be prepared. This guidance includes a typical terms of reference and also suggests the structure & content of the EIA & EMP report. The terms of reference are general in content. As it is likely that there are some specific environmental issues that require to be addressed and these are known in advance, these need to be informed to the environmental consultants.
2 Terms of reference
The following terms of reference should be used:
Policy and legal framework
• To collect information on the prevailing national, state and local laws, pertinent to environmental quality, health and safety, protection of sensitive areas, protection of endangered species, land uses control and others.
• To determine its applicability of all laws to the proposed sub-project and to include the specific clearances / approvals that have to be obtained by the different organisations / companies such as the ULB and contractor.
• To assist the ULB in any clearances / approvals that may be required to implement the sub-project in terms of completing forms / applications, and defending the sub-project before Government committees.
Baseline
• To assemble, evaluate and present baseline data on the relevant environmental characteristics of the sub-project area, including changes anticipated before the commencement of the project. The description of the baseline environmental setting shall be worked out from the secondary data sources supplemented by the primary data collected as part of the various surveys carried out as part of the EIA preparation.
• To describe the physical environment: geology; topography; soils; climate and meteorology; ambient air quality; noise quality; surface and ground- water hydrology; existing sources of air emissions; existing water pollution discharges; and receiving water quality, etc.
• To describe the biological environment: flora; fauna; rare or endangered species; sensitive habitats, including reserved forests, wildlife reserves and sanctuaries etc.
• To describe the socio-cultural environment: population; land use; planned development activities; community structure; employment; distribution of income, goods and services; recreation; public health; cultural properties; and tribal people and their usufruct rights, common property resources, etc.
Public consultation
• To carry out public consultation and participation as an integral part of the EIA. Consultation sessions shall be carried out with different stakeholder groups at the local, regional and district levels, so as to incorporate the various environmental concerns and needs of the community and the relevant stakeholders.
Impact analysis
• To identify, analyse and evaluate the different kind of impacts, and to distinguish between significant positive and negative impacts, direct and indirect impacts, and immediate and long-term impacts.
• To determine the impacts on sensitive receptors identified during the baseline environmental analysis.
• To determine the impacts on natural habitats and other sensitive areas: critical natural habitats (such as conservation areas, sanctuaries, sacred groves, etc.) and migration routes; “induced development”; historic, cultural and religious buildings and sites; archaeological sites and tourism areas, etc.;
Analysis of alternatives
• To describe alternatives that were examined in the course of developing the proposed project and identify other alternatives, which would achieve the same objectives. The concept of alternatives extends to siting, design, technology selection, construction techniques and phasing, and operating and maintenance procedures.
• To compare alternatives in terms of potential environmental impacts and suitability under local conditions.
Mitigation
• To identify feasible and cost-effective mitigation measures that may reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels, capital and recurrent costs of the measures.
• To specify in a table the description of the measure along with who is responsible and when it has to be implemented.
• To include relevant drawings and technical specifications that would be required to implement the mitigation measure effectively.
Monitoring
• To prepare detailed arrangements in a plan for monitoring implementation of mitigating measures and the impacts of the sub-project during construction and operation
• To include in the plan an estimate of capital and operating costs, and a description of other inputs (such as training and institutional strengthening) needed to carry it out.
• To document in the plan what will be monitored, who would do it, who would receive its outputs, how much it would cost, how it would be financed and what other inputs (for example, training) are necessary.
• To include in the plan a list of environmental monitoring parameters, and detailed specifications (methods, schedule, etc) for performance/compliance monitoring during construction, and operation stage of the sub-project.
Management
• To identify institutional needs to implement the recommendations of the EIA. This would include manpower requirements, skill requirements & training, organisational mechanisms and information dissemination requirements.
• To recommend any further studies of environmental issues which should be undertaken during project implementation.
Others
• To document the important contributors to the EIA and to record interagency/forum/consultation meetings; including list of both invitees and attendees.
3 Suggested structure and content of an EIA report
The EIA report should have the following structure and content:
• Executive Summary - project details, policy framework, baseline conditions, significant environmental impacts, salient points of the analysis of alternatives, salient mitigation & monitoring measures, and budget.

Guidance on incorporating mitigation measures in the contract documents for category Ea and Eb Sub-Projects
1 Introduction
Environmental requirements included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) have to be cross-referred in the contract documents. Of these requirements, those related to the construction phase have to necessarily be covered in the contract documents.
2 Construction phase requirements in the contract documents
The parts of the EMP should be included in the relevant locations of the bid documents in the following way:
• Legal requirements: As a standard practice, the relevant laws need to be mentioned in the General Conditions of Contract.
• Mitigation measures & monitoring requirements tables: The cross-reference to these tables should be included in the General Conditions of Contract, and the two tables will have to be added as Annexures. Cross-reference should be mentioned in the General Conditions of Contract. The description in these tables should be short, clear and succinct. The description should focus on “what” and “where” of the mitigation / enhancement measure as the “how” of the measure is covered under the specification.
• Modifications / additions to the technical specifications: Due to the mitigation / enhancement measures included in the EMP, there may be some new specifications. These are to be referred in the section on “Supplementary Specifications” in the contract documents.
• Cost table: All the items in the EMP cost table relevant to the contractor have to be referred in the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) of the contract documents. It is to be noted that the BoQ table in the bid documents includes the various tasks to be done by the contractor under different categories. Against each task, the contractor will have to indicate a unit rate while completing the bid documents. [Note: That the budgetary estimates for the costs to be incurred during the construction phase should NOT be included in this BoQ table.]
• Drawings: Due to the mitigation / enhancement measures included in the EMP, there may be (a) changes required to the drawings and (b) new drawings. All of these drawings are to be reflected in the contract documents under the section on Drawings.
3 Note on timing
It is best to finalize the EMP prior to completing the bid documents. This is required to fully reflect the sections of the EMP relevant to the contractor in the bid documents and to ensure full integration.
