1. Introduction
This report is an addendum to the approved Environmental Impact assessment report –December 2013 prepared for
the Hubli-Dharwad BRTS Project. The EIA report had been prepared for assessment of impacts due to construction
of Bus Rapid Transport project between the twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad. Accordingly, EMP had been prepared
for the road and the road components separately. The approved BRTS project has also other components like NMT.
Additional works like bus-only flyovers and ROB are proposed to be taken up with the State Government funding
(not included in the BRTS project). This addendum is prepared with a purpose to address changes resulting from the
completion of the Joint measurement certificate survey as well as to assess and describe impacts and mitigation
measures proposed, if any as a result of other components which may or may not be a part of the approved BRTS
project but are nevertheless, crucial for the project. The addendum describes the above components; impact to
environment, if any; analysis of alternatives and Environmental Management Plan and finally, changes in
environmental budget for mitigation of impacts.
M/s. Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company Ltd. has completed the Joint Measurement Survey Certificate of all lands to
be acquired/ transferred. The total land to be acquired is 72.29 acres. The village wise details to be acquired /
transferred are given in table below.

2. Description of proposed BRTS bus only flyover
Three bus-only flyovers have been proposed on the corridor. These works are being carried out outside the scope of
the approved BRTS project. The details are shown in STRIP PLAN under the Annexure –1. The bus-only flyovers
have been proposed based on the traffic at crucial junctions so as to facilitate accelerated and un-obstructed
movement of BRT buses as well as conflict-free and smooth movement for other categories of vehicles, pedestrians
etc.
The considerations for choosing the option of BRTS Bus-only flyovers are summarized below:
The BRT bus movement should be accelerated as interference from other traffic would be eliminated at the
junctions. The operation of BRT would be smooth and efficient.
Land acquisition is kept to the barest minimum.
The construction should be least disruptive to the users and the public.
Facilities created in the widening to 8-lanes/ 7-lane in design should be utilized to the maximum extent.

2.4 Environmental and Safety Impacts
The main impacts foreseen are dust and noise during construction and traffic management. Diversion roads are
proposed to ensure smooth traffic flows during construction.
2.5 Non Motorised Transport (NMT)
NMT network is proposed on roads where pedestrian activity is high to facilitate improved access to the BRTS
corridor at Navanagar and Dharwad.
After careful assessment and changes in design provisions, 33 trees of almost 2m to 3m girth size have been saved in
the NMT corridor from tree-felling.
2.5.1 Dharwad (From Old SP office to Shivaji Circle-2.0 Km)
Footpaths and drains are proposed from Old SP office Dharwad to Shivaji Circle Dharwad for a total length of 2.0
Km. Further, after careful assessment, 29 trees are saved at this location from tree-felling.
2.5.2 Navanagar (Cancer Hospital to PU College Navanager )– 1.5 km
Footpath and drains are proposed from the cancer Hospital Navanagar to Navanagar PU College. It has total length
1.5 Km. After careful assessment and changes in design provisions, 33 numbers of well grown trees of almost 2m
to 3m girth size are saved.
2.6 Change in pavement design, from Km 4+200 to Km 15+900
The scope of change is limited to Mixed Traffic Lanes. The MTL of BRT lane has been proposed with flexible
pavement due to ease of construction; future impacts due to increase in built-up area along the corridor etc.

2.8 Analysis of Alternative
On the basis of requests from the project affected persons, H-DBRTSCo had reviewed the options for BRTS corridor
from TollNnaka to Jubilee Circle in Dharwad. The process followed to arrive at the final option has been detailed out
in the Resettlement Action Plan. The RAP document is available in the HDBRTS Co office and on the internet
www.hdbrts.co.in.
2.8.1 Construction of BRT corridor in Dharwad
Analysis of alternative has been studied for ‘BRT at Grade’ and elevated BRT in term of potential impacts. The
details are given in Table -2.3.
Table 2-3: Alternative Analysis

No.
Factors BRT- lane With At grade Impacts 4 lane BRT Elevated Corridor
1. Construction Time
Impact
Since construction of road at grade
takes lesser time than construction of
structure so impact and disturbance to
local people is less.
Since construction time of structures is
more than construction of at grade road
junction, so the impact duration is
more compared to the at grade road
construction.
2. Damage and disruption
of flora
Impact on flora is same for grade
separator and at grade construction
since the Right of Way remains the
same.

Hubli-Dharwad BRTS Company Limited
Action Plan of Green BRTS Programme
August, 2013 (V 2)
Page Intentionaly Left Blank

1. Introduction
The Government of Karnataka has taken up the implementation of a Bus Rapid
Transit System (BRTS) between twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad. The project
includes development of transit infrastructure, improvement of pedestrian network,
development of BRTS corridor and other related works. This project is expected to
improve and promote environmentally sustainable transport infrastructure and services
in the twin cities.
Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company is a Government of Karnataka undertaking
entrusted with the implementation of BRTS in Hubli and Dharwad. The Company has
conducted an extensive environmental impact assessment for identifying environment
effects, if any, due to the project and has also prepared Environment Management Plan
(EMP) for mitigation of the impacts.
In the EMP, the Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company has undertaken to implement
the necessary mitigation measures. It is the intention of the Hubli – Dharwad BRTS
Company to ensure a green BRTS project. Therefore, the company has decided to go
beyond the required mitigation measures listed out in the Environment Management
Plan and take up other measures for greening of BRTS corridor, public spaces in Hubli
and Dharwad and development of green spaces in and around transit infrastructure.
This action plan establishes a framework for measures that are contemplated by the
Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company Ltd.
3
2. Vision
“The landscaping along the transit corridor and facilities will be distinctive, appealing
and functional, and would evoke a sense of ownership and pride amongst the
community apart from enriching the overall experience of transit.”
This vision will be achieved through careful planning and implementation that
focuses on innovation, adoption of best practices from around the world while
showcasing the local natural biodiversity.
Aims and Principles
Proactively take up compensatory plantation to mitigate environmental
impacts caused by the project if any as per the provisions of the
Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plan.
Provide attractive and functional landscapes i.e. verges and medians along the
BRTS corridor and the right of way.
Ensure development of green oasis in and around transit infrastructure which
could perform the function of an engaging public space.
Plant 5000 trees in the open area near Sanjeevini Park and other public spaces
which shall showcase the bio-diversity of the region.
Ensure community awareness and engagement occurs during planning and
implementation process.

3. Environmental Impact Assessment-
Environmental Management Plan
Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company has conducted an environmental impact
assessment, a copy of which has been published on the website
www.urbantransport.kar.nic.in. It is seen that widening of the right of way would
require trees to be felled. In the first instance, it has been identified that 1750 trees
would have to be felled for the widening of the road from two lanes to four lanes. An
amount of Rs.27.24 lakhs was deposited by KRDCL which was responsible for
widening of the existing road with the forest department for compensatory
afforestation. The affected trees are mostly Banyan, Eucalyptus, Common Fig Tree,
Teak, Bamboo and Mango etc. A joint measure survey is in progress and during this
process, the trees that need to be felled and existing on private land which is
proposed to be acquired beyond the road widening that is under way by the KRDCL
would be identified. 564 trees are proposed to be cut at the transit infrastructure
sites.
The Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company has also prepared Environment
Management Plan (EMP) for both roads and transit infrastructure component. In
addition to avenue plantation, 1200 trees are proposed to be planted in the transit
infrastructure sites. The EMP prepared for both road and BRT infrastructure have
also been published on the website www.urbantransport.kar.nic.in.

4. Key Focus Areas
1. Avenue plantation along the corridor
It is envisaged to plant trees at an appropriate interval along the corridor. A
plantation zone of one metre width has been provided in the cross-section of the
corridor on either side for planting appropriate trees/plants. It is expected that the
number of trees to be planted as a part of avenue plantation would be 4000. Endemic
care would be taken to ensure that the species selected for the avenue plantation are
hardy, able to thrive in the given environmental conditions, and are chosen in such a
way that the avenue would have greenery and blooms for the major part of the year.
Selection of plants of deciduous nature would be avoided. The fencing of the trees
and tree guards would be designed in keeping with the motto of sustainable transport
that the Company endorses.
The avenue plantation will be designed in such a way that it is aesthetic, has a proper
mix of diversified species as a check against pest proliferation, easy to maintain and
where the space permits, there is a provision for street furniture for people to rest.
The height of the tree and its eventual branches will have to clear the height of
the vehicles. Also, the trees’ root structure should grow vertically rather than
horizontally as root structures that grow horizontally beneath the surface are likely
cause buckling of the road way materials. Planting would be incorporated as an
integral component of noise barrier work to discourage graffiti and address visual
impact issues.

0.75m space provided for landscape has been extended to 1.0m.
Figure 2: Strip Plan
2. Plantation within the Bus Terminals
Space has been earmarked along/within the terminals for plantation/landscaping.
The plantation/landscaping will designed along the sidewalks and pedestrian areas as
shown in the corresponding designs of transit infrastructure. Niches would be
identified for embellishing them with greenary, and would be used for people to sit,
chat or rest. Innovative, comfortable and attractive street furniture would be placed.
The niches should be visible to prevent unsavoury uses and would be properly
7
lighted. A mix of trees, shrubs etc would be considered. However, monoculture
plantations would be avoided.

3. Plantation in the open area near Sanjeevini Park and other public spaces
The Company would collaborate with the Forest Department for planting 5000 trees
in the open area near Sanjeevini Park and other public spaces. The proposed species
would include perennial and tall trees that showcase the bio-diversity of the region.
4. Plantation in schools, colleges, institutions and parks
The Hubli – Dharwad BRTS Company has taken up an exercise of planting 8000
trees in the lands belonging to schools, colleges and public spaces as a part of its
green BRTS programme. Necessary amounts have been deposited with the forest
department for procurement of saplings and these would be planted in association
with the schools, colleges and general public during the monsoon season of 2013.
Schools, colleges, government offices and parks are proposed to be covered under
the programme during the year 2013.

“Namma Tota @ Green BRTS”
The Hubli-Dharwad BRTS Company Limited is launching the above
movement in schools and colleges of Hubli-Dharwad. The contours of the
programme are as follows:
1. The Company would provide saplings of the choice of the school/college
at the company’s cost.
2. The cost of planting and pitting would be released to the school/college
betterment committees by the Company.
3. The school/college must organize pitting as per specifications given by
the Company and organize planting as indicated by the Company. The
school/college may also identify green BRTS volunteers for monitoring
the well-being of the saplings planted in the school/college premises. The
responsibility of the school/college and volunteer is to ensure watering of
the sapling and facilitate its proper growth.
4. The associated environmental group, if any, would train the green BRTS
volunteers in the upkeep of the plant that they have adopted.
5. A health card scoring system would be introduced by which the health of
the saplings grown in a school/college premises would be scored at the
end of the each year for three years and green BRTS points would be
awarded for each year. The school/college would be able to encash the
green BRTS points for claiming rewards as mentioned below.
