EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 EXecutive SummaryINTRODUCTIONLahore Electric Supply Company Limited (LESCO) is a public limited utility companyresponsible for distribution of electric power. The LESCO has prepared a five year6th STG project starting from financial year (FY) 2005-06 to FY 2009-10 for theimprovement of transmission system and its expansion within its area of jurisdictionincluding Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Nankana and Okara districts of the Punjab.Out of the total scope of work, part of the 6th STG component of the project to befinanced by the World Bank loan identified for the year 2006-07 includes constructionof five new 132 KV grid stations, 17.1 Km of associated transmission lines, extensionof one and augmentation of five grid stations within LESCO jurisdiction. Exhibit 1shows the location plan of the project components. The selected Project works whichare proposed for financing by the World Bank will have to comply with Bank'sguidelines relevant to environmental and social safeguard policies as well asapplicable laws and regulations. The Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA)Study of the part of the Project was awarded to Joint venture of BARQAABConsulting Services (Pvt.) Limited and Development & Management Consultants(DMC). BARQAAB was the Leading Firm.THE PROJECT OVERVIEWThe objectives of the Project are to help increase the efficiency, reliability, andquality of electricity supply in terms of the overall technical and commercial lossesreduction, continuous availability and the improved voltage profile of electricity. TheProject shall also facilitate electricity sector reforms, investment planning, financingand technical assistance.POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORKSThe National Environmental Policy had been announced by Government of Pakistanin the year 2005. Pakistan Environmental Protection Council is the apex decisionmaking body of the country. Submission of the Environmental Impact Assessmentreport to the concerned Environmental Protection Agency is mandatory under thePakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997. Similarly the global financial institutionand donor agencies also demand for the undertaking the ESA studies respecting thedevelopmental projects.PROJECT ENVIRONMENTSThe project area occupies almost level alluvial plain. The soils are free from physicaland chemical hazards and do not present any problem for foundation construction.The area is not prone to earthquakes. The climate of the area is sub-humid,sub-tropical and continental and has no negative impact on the performance ofelectrical insulations. The area drains into River Ravi. Khaira distributary falls nearthe proposed grid stations of lnayat Pura and Defence Housing Authority (DHA).Most of the ground water is fresh and it is brackish in a few areas.ES -1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 EXecutive SummayThe wildlife does not exist in the congested project area. Similarly no forest is found.Total number of project affectees falling within the ROW of transmission lines andgrid station sites come to 22. Census of these affectees was carried out on 100percent level to account for their type of assets, loss of assets, number ofdependents, affected incomes, etc. The socio-economic survey of the project areawas conducted by selecting a 15 percent representative sample from a universe of319 households within the area of impact of transmission lines and grid station sites.The number of households selected for socio-economic survey worked out as 49.The objective of the survey was to have an overall assessment of the socio-economic profile of the people of area, their dependence on electricity, income andexpenditure patterns and their vulnerability status. Per capita monthly income of thesample households works out as Rs. 2,147/-. Average household expenditurecomes to 64% of the total income. The analysis has revealed that the samplepopulation was living above the official poverty line of Rs. 879/- per capita per month.ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTAs a first step, the screening of the Project was done considering The World Bankguidelines. The project falls in Environmental Category B for which limited scaleenvironmental and socio-economic impact assessment is required.To ensure participation of local communities and Project stakeholders, consultativemeetings, scoping sessions and group discussions were held in which 102 men and72 women participated. The participants were of the view that Project should beimplemented as early as possible. The main concerns of the participants were thatthe transmission line should not pass over the private houses, local people should beprovided jobs during construction, load shedding should be minimized, electricity/voltage should be stabilized, load shedding causes disruption in water supply andburning of electronic appliances. Considering these difficulties, the participants wereof the view that improvement of electricity supply through construction of new gridstations and transmission lines is the need of the day.Major Negative ImpactsThere are only 3 major negative impacts i.e. involuntary acquisition of 42 Kanals ofprivate commercial land, cutting of 63 fruits trees and disruption of traffic.Major Positive ImpactsThe major positive impacts include improvement in power supply in old areas andprovision of power supply to new areas, improved reliability and stability of electricity,improvement in voltage profile, control existing load shedding and creation of jobsduring construction.MITIGATION MEASURESMitigation measures for amelioration of negative impacts include compensation toProject Affected Persons for the loss of land and standing crops / trees at agreedmarket rates. The noise can be mitigated by using silencers and earmuffs. The dustES-2

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 'EXecutive Summarypollution can be mitigated by sprinkling water 2 to 3 times a day and controlling ofspeed of moving vehicles. For controlling the traffic, traffic management plan hasbeen proposed in Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP).The other mitigation measures include periodic cleaning and de-silting of seweragedrains, planting of trees along sewerage drains, planting of compensatory trees,careful driving in work areas, avoidance of vehicle and machinery movements duringpeak hours, transportation of equipment and machinery at night and carefulcollection and disposal of oils and lubricants.RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORKThe Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) provides the basis for the mitigation ofsocial impacts. It has been developed in accordance with the requirements of theWorld Bank OP-4.12. This Policy of the Bank endorses the eligibility of all thecategories of persons, whether with formal legal rights or without these rights, in aproject, but occupying project area prior to the cut-off date established by theborrower and acceptable to the Bank.The governing legislation regarding land acquisition and compensation is the LandAcquisition Act (LAA), 1894. The LAA is limited to a cash compensation policy for theacquisition of land and built-up property, and damage to other assets such as crops,trees, infrastructure, etc. The LAA does not take into account the rehabilitation andresettlement of displaced populations and the restoration of their livelihoods. TheBank's OP 4.12, however, provides full protection to the people affected by a Project.Accordingly, RPF defines the compensation for the acquisition of land and otherassets of the PAPs falling within the ROW of the transmission lines and theproposed grid station sites, as per following details.Sr. No. Type of Site No. of Category ofLoss/issue Affectees Affectees1 Land Acquisition Momonpura Grid 15 Land Owners(41.65 Kanals) Station2 Land Acquisition For Pole Siting- 1 Land Owner(0.05 Kanal) Transmission Line ofInayatpura GridStation3 Loss of Income Transmission Line 4 Land Ownersfrom Standing Route of InayatpuraCrops (24 Grid Stationkanals)4 Loss of Income Transmission Line 1 Land Ownerfrom Fruit Trees Route of lnayatpuraCutting (63) Grid Station5 Temporary Loss Transmission Line 3 Non-titleof Business Route of Barki Grid HolderStation Squatters/_ _EncroacherssNote: Affectees vide Sr. No. 2 & 4 are already accounted in Sr. No.3

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 fEXecutive SumyENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN (EMMP)EMMP has been prepared. It includes actions proposed for mitigation of negativeimpacts and effective monitoring of the implementation of proposed mitigationmeasures during pre-construction, construction and operation phases. This will formpart of contract. LESCO is responsible for its implementation.ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COSTSEnvironmental and Social Costs are estimated at Rs. 343 million (Table-8.5).CONCLUSIONSEnvironmental Aspects* The construction stage will face negative impacts in form of dust, smoke andnoise on account of employment of vehicles, machinery and equipment. Thegeneration of construction waste, solid waste and oil spills/seepage will havenegative impacts on land and air resources. Further, the stringing process willinvolve traffic congestion at Saggian grid station site. All such impacts aretemporary and are of minor nature. The mitigation measures have beensuggested in the EMMP.* The project operation phase will come across issues such as clearance of ROW,leakage/seepage of transformer oil, generation of noise from transformers andwaste management. These are reversible impacts and accordingly mitigationmeasures have been given in the EMMP.* Major Positive ImpactsO Significant improvement in reliability and stability of electric supply system.O Improvement in voltage profile.O Control of existing load shedding.O There is insignificant environmental damage to local land, water and biologicalresources.Socio-economic Aspects* On overall basis 22 persons will be affected by the Project Activities.* About 42 kanals of land will have to be acquired from the private owners.* Standing fodder crop on about 3 areas of land will be affected temporarily duringthe construction activities.* Privately owned 63 fruit trees and 38 non-fruit trees will need removal.* About 133 non-fruit tress of different species will need cutting from thegovernment lands.* Source of livelihood of 3 squatter encroachments will be affected temporarilyduring the stringing stage at Barki Grid Transmission Line.ES -4

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 EXaecutive SummaryRECOMMENDATIONSEnvironmental AspectsIn view of the above mentioned conclusions of the ESA study the consultants makethe following recommendations for implementation by the LESCO.* Being a responsible customer oriented corporate body the LESCO should devisethe Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Policy, Quality Policy and SocialPolicy on priority basis.* The LESCO should work towards obtaining quality, environmental and socialcertifications for the international standards. This will improve their public imagealso.* The LESCO is not equipped with the required environmental and social know-how. This capacity should be strengthened the earliest in order to meet theenvironmental challenges of the modern and environment friendly electric supplysystem. Establishment of the LESC is the first and foremost step in this direction.Socio-economic Aspects* The project affectees should be compensated for the loss of their assets andlivelihood according to the provisions of the Resettlement Policy Framework.* The land should be purchased at negotiated rates between the owners and theLESCO.* Compensatory plantation should be made in lieu of removed trees.ES -5

Depending upon the availability of land, tubular poles havebeen suggested for the proposed connecting 132 kV transmission lines in the6th STG Project. Tubular poles are beneficial in congested areas, that occupya little space.1.5 PROJECT CATEGORIZATIONAccording to the World Bank's classification of different types of projects byconsidering their social and environmental impacts vide OP-4.01, the 6th STGProject falls under category "B" projects, for which environmental and socialimpacts assessment is required prior to submission to the Bank. Accordingly,the project screening was carried out as per guidelines of the World Bank,and the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak EPA). The indicatorsused were; the type of the project, its size, nature, sensitivity, importance,location, type and nature of PAPs, resettlement issues, etc. vide Banks OP-4.01 and OP-4.12. The initial screening revealed that the people of the Projectarea have keen interest in the LESCO Project, as this will improve the powersupply situation in their localities.1.6 IMPORTANCE OF STUDYPreviously, approval for the implementation of a project was wholly based onits economic feasibility. More recently, the donor agencies and Government ofPakistan have made it obligatory that equally important and compellingparameters of environmental sustainability and social acceptability shouldalso be considered while approving a development project for implementation.The PEPA 1997 states "no proponent of a project shall commenceconstruction or operation unless he has filed with the federal agency InitialEnvironmental Examination (IEE) or where the project is likely to cause anadverse environmental effect, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)".The World Bank vide OP-4.01, has made it compulsory to undertake theEnvironmental and Social Impact Assessment for the projects financed by theBank. Therefore, to fulfill the requirements of PEPA 1997, the World Bank1 -6

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Introductionand Terms of Reference (TOR) of the study, the ESA Study of the part of 6thSTG Project for the year 2006-07 has been undertaken.1.7 SCOPE OF STUDYAs per TOR of the study (Appendix-1), the ESA study will have two majorparts, each to be dealt with separately: (i) an ESA Report for the projectinterventions to be financed by the World Bank during the first year ofinvestment and (ii) Environmental and Social Assessment Guidelines (ESG)for addressing environmental and social impacts of the project activities whichare not known exactly now and are to be taken up in subsequent years.Furthermore, if any social issues triggering the Bank's safeguards areidentified during the ESA, a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) will bedeveloped for the project affected persons. In case the affected familiesexceed 200, then a Resettlement Plan as per requirements of the World BankOP 4-12 will be prepared. The scope of study will include to:* Identify the adverse environmental and social impacts associated withproject interventions* Develop an Environmental Management & Monitoring Plan (EMMP) forthe mitigation of adverse Environmental and Social Impacts (RPF);* Identify the need for a Resettlement Policy Framework / ResettlementPlan, based on the Social Assessment, which would be carried out inaccordance with the Social Screening checklist as provided in the TOR.1.8 METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH1.8.1 Based on the detailed review and perusal of the TOR objectives provided bythe Client (LESCO) for the 6th STG Project, the Consultants formulated theirapproach and methodology for achieving the study objectives and fulfilling theTOR as under:* A multidisciplinary integrated approach.* Close consultations with the Client.* In depth review of background reports.* Consultation with the key stakeholders.* Frequent use of the latest available World Bank policies and guidelines.* The experience of the Project team in implementation of similar projectsin Pakistan as well as internationally.* Simple, practical and economical measures and options.* Collection and usage of primary and secondary data.1 - 7

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Introduction* Use of the latest state of the art technologies such as MS Excel,MS Office, AutoCAD, etc.1.8.2 The envisaged approach follows a goal-oriented methodology, and is basedon analysis of different components of the study, and identification ofenvironmental and socio-economic impacts due to the Project and suggestedmitigation measures.1.8.3 As the first step, the secondary data collection and review were undertaken.Wherever reliable data was available in sufficient quantity these were used onpriority basis for undertaking the analysis. After the selection of the gridstation sites a census was undertaken to identify the project affecttees,affected assets, livelihood and affected structures. Besides, field surveyswere conducted to collect the primary data in respect of number of project-affected persons, their population and assets. To investigate the socio-economic characteristics of the general population, a socio-economic surveywas also carried out by selecting sample from the areas where proposedinterventions are to be implemented. Pre-structured questionnaire were usedto collect information for both the surveys. The data collected through primaryand secondary sources were entered into computer files. Appropriateprocedures for data checking, cleaning and analysis were employed toanalyze the data and presentation of the results in a reader friendly manner.The data analysis and corresponding results presented in the draft reportswere forwarded to LESCO for their review and comments. After the review ofresults by LESCO, these were used for preparing draft ESA & ESG reports.The details of the sample selection for socio-economic study are provided insub-section 4.3.4.1.9 DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED GRID STATION SITES AND ROUTES OFTRANSMISSION LINES1.9.1 The selection of sites for the construction of 132 kV Grid Stations and alliedtransmission lines in a metropolitan city like Lahore and its suburbs was adifficult task for the LESCO in view of the following reasons:* Thickly populated and congested areas.* Availability of limited space for poles erection.* Presence of high buildings on the proposed routes of transmission lines.* Restricted availability of public land.1.9.2 Effort has been made by the LESCO, to the extent possible, to obtain andutilize the public land for the construction of Grid Stations, whereas the Rightof Way (ROW) for secondary Transmission Lines has been routed by usingthe already existing corridors and / or through public lands, thus without orminimally disturbing the people and the utilities, both public and private, en-route. The schematic diagrams of proposed Grid Station site and connectingtransmission routes are presented in Exhibits 2 to 6. The main features are1 - 8

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Introductiondescribed as under and summarized in Table-1.4. Typical Layout plans of AISand GIS Grid Stations are given at Exhibits 7 and 8. Photographs of varioussites are given in Appendix 2.Mominpura GIS 132kV Grid Stationo The site for this Grid Station is selected near the village HanduGujar along Grand Trunk (GT) Road adjacent to AddaChhabeel, about 3 km away from Shalimar Garden. Shalimar-Batapur 132 kV transmission line is situated about 300 metersfrom this site. Feed to the Mominpura Grid Station shall bemade from this running Transmission Line (T/L). The selectedsite for Grid Station covering 41 kanals and 13 marlas is theproperty of 15 private owners. A list of the land owners alongwith revenue record details, as obtained from the relevantPatwari (a revenue department functionary at lowest level tomaintain land records) is shown as Annexure-1. Negotiationswith the owners for the purchase of this piece of land throughnegotiated prices are underway. This process will ensure theright of the seller to accept or reject the deal without anycompulsion. In case of acquisition of land under LandAcquisition Act, these will be acquired under non-emergencyclauses of the Act.O The length of the transmission line is 1.4 km. The ROW ofthis transmission line will be along the corridor of G.T. Roadwhere two parallel low-tension 11 kV transmission lines alreadyexist. The route is clear from any social hazards. No squattersor business operators are found in the proposed ROW.* Gulberg GIS 132 kV Grid StationThe proposed site is a Punjab Government property and lies in the posharea of Gulberg. It covers 10 kanals and 4 marlas, presently in use ofParks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) as plants nursery. Approval hasbeen accorded by the Board of Revenue, Government of the Punjab, tothis piece of land in favour of LESCO (Annexure-2). Canal Road, JailRoad, FC College Road and the Gulberg Main Boulevard surround thesite. A 132 kV transmission line is located at a distance of 100m from theGrid Station site across the Gulberg drain and Canal Park Road and thusinvolving no ROW for the connecting transmission line.* Saggian / Outfall GIS 132 kV Grid StationThe proposed site covering 10 kanals and 10 marlas is a PunjabGovernment property and is walled on all sides. It is situated at mainOutfall Road. Presently, it is in the possession of the City DistrictGovernment, Lahore (CDGL) where an asphalt plant of LDA is working.LESCO is pursuing the CDGL to get this piece of land transferred in itsfavour for the construction of a Grid Station (Annexure-3). The CDGL is1 - 9

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Introductionalready planning to shift the asphalt plant from this site, as it is a bigsource of air pollution in the adjoining areas. The ROW of connectingtransmission line, about 500m in length, will lie in a 10 m wide green beltof the Outfall Road and Saggian Road, crossing the main Bund Road freefrom any squatters or encroachers.* DHA/ Barki 132kV AIS Grid StationThe proposed site covering approximately 32 kanals is located in DHAscheme (Phase - VI) at Barki Road near village Bhangali. The DHA hasoffered this piece of land to LESCO for construction of the Grid Station ina private housing society (Annexure-4). The nearest Kot Lakhpat-Ghazi132 kV transmission line is situated at a distance of about 7.5 km from theproposed site. The ROW of the proposed transmission line traversesalong the left side of the Barki Road corridor. The width of this corridorfrom the road edge to the houses/ shops is about 10 m. Threeencroachers earning their livelihood at the turning of a road connecting tovillage Drug Pura are found along the route of this transmission line.* Inayatpura / State Life Housing Society 132 kV AIS Grid StationThe proposed site covering 33 kanals and 3 marlas area is located in the2nd phase of State Life Housing Society. The Society has offered thispiece of land willingly to LESCO for the construction of a Grid Station intheir society (Annexure-5). This Grid Station will be connected to the KotLakhpat-Ghazi 132 kV transmission line located at a distance of about6.6 km from the site. The transmission line will be constructed along theavailable corridor of Bedian Road. For about 2 Km, the transmission linewill traverse along the main Bedian Road, then it will turn towards rightside and will traverse for about 2.5 km along the left bank of KhairaDistributory. At Leel village, the line will turn towards the left side and aftercrossing about 500 m through private land and further 600 m throughState Life Housing Society, will adopt the route of an abandoned 66 kVtransmission line up to the Grid Station site.Table 1.5Main Features of the Selected Sites for Grid StationsSr. Name of Grid Area Land Ownership RemarksNo Station (Kanals) Status1 132 kV GIS 41.65 Privately Owned Purchase of landMominpura, Main underway.GT Road2 132 kV GIS 10.20 Govt.

Of these, 41.65 kanals are to be purchased fromthe private owners. The remaining land is either government owned orowned by two housing societies. The housing societies have offered theland to LESCO willingly for the construction of the Grid Station. Thetransmission lines will route from the already existing corridors and/ orthrough public lands. Only 0.05 kanals of land will have to be purchasedfrom the private owner for the siting of a pole along ROW of transmissionline of Inayatpura Grid Station.1.10 SAFETY PARAMETERSThe risks and hazards of high voltage transmission lines will be minimized byadopting the following safety parameters.1.10.1 System Safety Parameters* Right of Way (ROW)A 15-20 m wide corridor free of all obstructions for 132 kV transmissionlines has been adopted. LESCO, however, allows general farm practiceswithin this corridor, but tree plantations that do not exceed a height of 1.5m are allowed to remain under the lines. Similarly, open wells, includingPersian wheels are allowed to remain under the transmission lines. Tubewells and Peter pumps are not permitted under the high voltageconductors. This is for the reason that piping and cranes used to refurbishsuch wells may come in contact with the lines.No residential or other public buildings like factory, school, hospital,mosque except for the graves t graveyards are permitted within thecorridor. However, farm buildings which are used for residential purposesare allowed to remain under the extra high voltage lines, provided 8 mvertical clearance is maintained. The height of the towers can beincreased to accommodate such buildings.1 - 11

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Introduction* Conductor to Tower ClearanceFor safety of the system, factors that may interrupt the power supply areconsidered in the design. The clearance of the conductor from tower legsand trusses is of prime importance. Therefore, in the design, a minimumclearance of 4 m is adopted based on regulations of GOP/LESCO andminimum requirements of National Electric Safety Code (ANSI C2). Withthis clearance, about 99% probability of withstanding switching averageof 3-sigma margin due to maximum over voltage under adverse climaticconditions is ensured.* Earthing of the SystemEvery tower will be connected to an earthing system. This is to keeptower footing resistance 5 ohms. For this, two earth electrodes of copperclad steel rods will be sunk vertically into the ground to a minimum depthof three meters.* Lightening IntensitiesThe tower geometry, clearance and insulation of the system is designedto perform safely within the permitted lightening intensities. In thisrespect, consideration will be given to the tower footing resistance andIsokeraunic level of the area. The accepted level is one trip out! 100 Km/year due to lightening.1.10.2 Public Safety Parameters* Conductor to Ground ClearanceConductor to ground safe clearance is required to provide for movingobjects under the line with a height of 4.5 m, withstanding switching surgeof 3-sigma margin with 99.7 percent probability under adverseatmospheric conditions. This is to keep off the maximum voltage gradientat ground level and maximum current induced in a person less thaninternationally allowable values. As such, conductor to ground clearanceshall in no way be less than 9 meter. This is in accordance with theregulations of GOP/ LESCO.The permissible conductor clearance (at a maximum temperature of65.5�C) is as follows:o Cultivated land traversed by vehicles 9.00mo Road and Streets 9.00mo Communication and Power Lines upto 132kV 4.50mO Highways 11.75mo Railroads 11.75m1 - 12

The policy adheres to the following standards:o Residential structure should be 12 m out from the plumb line of theouter conductor in ROWo If there is no alternative alignment, an exception can be made for farmbuildings and single storey factory buildings, provided neither is usedas a residenceo Alternative route alignments will be used if any school, ruraldispensary, mosque or local shrine (ziarat) comes within 200 m of thecenterline of a planned routeo Brick kilns will be kept at least 7.5 - 10 m outside the centerline of theROWo Tube wells and open wells using a surface pump are not permittedunder the high voltage conductors. Piping and cranes used torecondition such wells could come in contact with the high voltageconductors.O Existing open wells including Persian or artesian wells are allowed toremain under the high voltage conductors, as are hand pumpsO Existing orchards can remain within the ROW although towers are keptout of orchards wherever possible. Orchards are over sailed by aclearance of 6 m above the height of a mature orchard whereas all theother trees are removed.1 - 13

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Anaysis of Alternatives2. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES2.1 GENERALIn general the Project alternatives are considered in terms of the availableproject sites, current technologies, design variations, operational situation,capital & recurrence costs and environmental & social issues and theirpotential impacts. The alternative encompassing without project situation isalso taken into account. In this chapter feasible alternatives for the gridstations and the transmission lines are discussed in detail.2.2 ALTERNATIVES FOR GRID STATIONSAlternatives for grid stations in view of the above criteria are given in thefollowing paragraphs:2.2.1 Inayat Pura / State Life Grid Station* Alternative I - Without Project SituationIn the absence of the grid station the electricity supply in the area ofinfluence will remain disturbed causing immense physical, biological andsocio-economic losses.* Alternative II - State Life Housing SocietyThis site is a barren land. The surrounding area is broken & undulatingand is cultivated a little. It has no environmental sensitivity. Themanagement of State Life Housing Society has offered the required pieceof land willingly to the LESCO for construction of the grid station. Thereare no houses or any public institutions / infrastructure in the vicinity ofthe site. This alternative is recommended.* Alternative III - Near Village JatholThis is private land owned by the people of village Jathol. They areunwilling to sell it to LESCO. The locals opine that the land cost will soonincrease significantly because of proposed alignment of RING ROAD inthe adjoining area. LESCO will not be able to pay the huge cost of theland because of budget constraints. In addition ROW for the feedingTransmission Line is difficult to acquire.2 - 1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 nA4jsi of Mternaties2.2.2 DHA/Barki Grid Station* Alternative I - Without Project SituationIn the absence of this grid station, phases VI and VII of DHA andsettlements, institutions & businesses in the adjoining areas will facefrequent load sheddings and voltage irregularities.* Alternative 11 - DHA/Barki Grid StationDHA has offered to provide the required area of land willingly. It iseconomical since the LESCO is not supposed to make any payment forthis. It does not degrade the local environment. It does not involve anysocial issues since the site is neither cultivated nor inhabitated by thepeople. This alternative is recommended for implementation.* Alternative Ill - Site along Barki RoadThe area on either side of the Barki road is either military property oroccupied by private dwellings & business activities. Acquisition of theland will cause outburst of inter departmental conflicts and socialupheavals.2.2.3 Gulberg Grid Station* Alternative I - No Project SituationPresently the localities along Ferozepur Road and Gulberg & ShadmanColonies are experiencing unabated electricity failures and shutdowns. Ifthis grid station is not constructed in the said locality the local people willcontinue to suffer from disturbances of businesses and economic growth.* Alternative 11 - Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) NurseryThe proposed site is the property of Punjab Government. The nursery isthe property of PHA. The project intervention will not cause anyenvironmental and social issues. The present nursery encompasses abig area far more than required for the proposed grid station. Therefore,the nursery can continue in the left over area even after the constructionof the gird station. Also, the feeding / source transmission line is runningjust above the proposed site. Therefore, there will be no need to acquirethe ROW for this feeding line which is indeed the most difficult task in thisposh area. Hence, this site is recommended.2 - 2

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 nAt=is ojfJtematives* Alternative III - Possible Sites in Surrounding AreasA detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding areas was made by theESA study team. No suitable piece of land was found available for thesaid purpose in that posh area. The cost of the land is too high to bepaid by the LESCO. The entire area is highly populated with immensecommercial businesses.2.2.4 Saggian Grid Station* Alternative I - No Project SituationArea all along Bund Road, and Saggian Bridge Road are highlycommercial. Similarly localities adjoining the said roads have densepopulations. Present unannounced and long electric breakdowns haveadverse impacts on business activities and social lives. In the absenceof the proposed Saggian grid station the locals will face socio-economiclosses for the times to come.* Alternative II - Asphalt Plant SiteThe Saggian Grid Station site is situated at Main Outfall Road. Itmeasures about 10.5 kanals. It is government property. Presently, it isowned by City District Government, Lahore. An asphalt plant is workingat the proposed site. Its connectivity to existing 132 kV transmission lineacross the main Bund Road is possible through a 500 m long line alongthe existing Outfall Road green belt, with no social hazards. Under givenconditions, this site represents a good choice for the construction of thisgrid station.* Alternative IlIl - Along Saggian Bridge RoadThe areas along both sides of the Saggian Bridge road are mostlyoccupied by businesses and bus/truck stands. Enough space is notavailable for construction of a grid station. The land is waterlogged beinglocated in vicinity of River Ravi. The soil has low bearing capacity and isnot fit for construction of foundations.* Alternative IV - Along Bund RoadThe Consultants traversed both banks of the Bund Road. The entirearea is extremely congested and no land is available for construction ofthe grid station.2.2.5 Momin Pura Grid Station* Alternative I - No Project SituationArea all along G.T. Road, are highly commercial. Similarly localitiesadjoining the G.T. Road have dense populations. Present unannounced2 - 3

In the absence of the proposed Momin Pura grid stationthe locals will face socio-economic losses for the times to come.* Alternative II - Site near Handu Gujjar VillageThe proposed site for Mominpura Grid Station is located close to mainG.T.Road, Adda Chabeel of village Handu Gujjar. Its total area is about41.65 kanals. The main characteristics of this site are given as under.o Being on the main G.T. Road, it is easily accessibleo It is only 1.4 Km away from the existing Shalimar Batapur 132 kVtransmission line at G.T. Road.o Problem FacedThe proposed piece of land is a collective property of more than 15owners share holders. The ownership details as per revenue recordare given in Annexure-1. There may be a big problem inacquiring/purchasing the land. Further, the proposed land is situated atthe main G.T. Road and is taken as commercial by the people of area.The price of such land according to them may be as Rs. 8.00 million toRs. 10.00 million per kanal. By taking price of land as Rs. 8.00 millionper kanal, the total cost of 41.65 kanal pieces of land works out as Rs333.4 millions.However, if any problem in the land acquiring process occurs due tolarge number of owners of the proposed piece of land, then the othersite may be considered to avoid the wastage of time.The proposed site for the construction of a Grid Station at mainGT Road is a better choice.* Alternative l1l - Site Near G.T. RoadThe other alternative site is located near Bund Road, about one km fromDarogawala chowk, (G.T. Road). Its area is about 16 kanals. It is owned byCh. Abdul Majid, who is also a Nazim of UC No 39 of the same area. Theaverage rate per kanal of this land is narrated as Rs.10 - 12 million perkanal. The total cost of land at lower value rate comes to Rs.160 million.The connectivity to existing transmission line will be a social problem here,as the nearby pole of existing 132 kV transmission line is situated in thepopulated area.2.3 ALTERNATIVES FOR TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTES* There are three guiding principles for selection of the most suitabletransmission line route. Firstly, the route should be the shortest. Secondly,2 - 4

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 AIijsiS ofAtenativesit should avoid the settlements as far as possible. Thirdly it should notpass through the environmentally sensitive localities.Lahore being, thickly populated area, does not present ideal and alternateroutes for transmission lines. Except for lnayat Pura / State Life girdstation all other grid stations do not have options for alternate routes.2.3.1 Transmission Line for Inayat Pura I State Life Grid StationThe transmission line from the Grid Station is required to be connected withthe existing 132 kV transmission line passing near the Bhatta Chowk. Thereare two possible routes which are discussed in the following:* Route ARoute A will follow the existing abandoned 66 kV transmission line routetill Block D of Formanites Housing Society. Thereafter it will turn left andwill pass through State Life area. Then it passes through the privateland. In this piece of land fruit and non fruit trees will be cut. Then thetransmission line passes along the right bank of Khaira Distrubutary tillits connection to 132 kV line near Bedian Road. Some private landneeds be purchased. It is noteworthy that WAPDA had already paid forthe ROW of the 66 kV transmission line.o MeritsX Most of the ROW passes through government land except a smallpiece of private land having an orchardX There will be no problem in acquiring land except a small piece ofprivate land which will be acquired as per prevailing market price.o Demerits/ The proposed ROW will pass through a private orchard affecting63 fruit trees and 38 non-fruit tress.The owner will have to be compensated for above mentionedtrees to be cut at prevailing market price.* Route BThis route is the same as for Route A till the Formanites Housing Society.Its length is about 2 Km. Afterwards Route B follows the road Kamahan -Lidhar. The corridor on both sides of the road is either heavily populatedor cultivated. Therefore, it will be uneconomical to acquire to land for theROW. Also a large number of people are likely to be displaced and themeans of their livelihood will get jeopardized. Length of this route till thejunction with Bedian road - Bhatta Chowk is 3.5 Km. Then the alignmentwill turn left along Bedian road till Bhatta Chowk where the proposed2 - 5

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Aiafysis ofAftenativestransmission line will be connected with the existing 132 kV transmissionline. This route is comparatively longer; more congested and entailstraffic issues as compared with Route A.o MeritX It avoids the private orchard and cutting of 101 treeso DemeritsX Major part of the ROW passes through private land/ Land acquisition will be a serious problemX Private land will be very expensive/ Acquisition of land may delay the Project implementationo ConclusionThe Route A does not involve involuntary land acquisition except a fewmarlas of private land where as the ROW of Route B mostly passesthrough private land where involuntary land acquisition will be a seriousproblem. In nutshell Route A is recommended.2.3.2 Transmission Line Route for DHA/Barki Grid StationThe transmission line will originate from the DHA/Barki Grid Station and aftercrossing the Main Boulevard of Phases VI and VII, will follow the left bank ofthe Khaira Distributary towards the Barki - Lahore road. Then onwards thealignment will be along the left side of the Barki - Lahore road. ROW isavailable throughout the proposed alignment. It will be connected with the KotLakhpat transmission line at the Ghazi Grid Station. This route isrecommended.2.3.3 Transmission Line Route for Momin Pura Grid StationFor Momin Pura Grid Station the route of the transmission line is along the leftside of the Grand Trunk road. Finally it will join the existing Shalimar - Batapur132 kV Transmission Line near Harbanspura turning. Suitable ROW isavailable throughout the length of the proposed route. It does not pose anyenvironmental and social issues.2.3.4 Transmission Line Route for Gulberg Grid StationThis is the shortest transmission line of the present project. It is about lessthan 100 m long and will join the existing 132 kV transmission line passingadjacent to the proposed site. It does not cause any negative impacts on thelocal physical, biological and socio-environments.2 - 6

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 iaIiysis of !tenatives2.3.5 Transmission Line Route for Saggian Grid StationThe transmission line will pass through the existing green belt between theoutfall road and the proposed grid station site. It will then join the existing 132kV transmission line across Taj Company Chowk. Its length is about 0.5 Km.It does not involve any environmental and social issues except the temporarydisruption of local traffic which can be properly mitigated.2.4 TECHNICAL ALTERNATIVESWith the advancement of technologies in the world for quality and types ofvarious equipment, machinery, materials, and processes used for the gridstation and transmission lines keep improving. In the following varioustechnical options with the respective merits and demerits have beenhighlighted.2.4.1 Alternatives for Grid Stations* There are two types of grid stations, that is, gas insulated (GIS) and airinsulated (AIS).* GIS grid stations have more advantages than the AIS as given below:o Environmental ImpactsGIS grid stations are not affected by external environmentalfactors.o Space SavingGIS bays are compact. These help in space saving upto 80%.o Low Maintenance CostGIS grid stations are highly reliable. Therefore, these needminimum maintenance.o Long LifeThe operation life of GIS stations is 40 to 50 years as comparedto 25 to 30 years of AIS grid stations.o Low Civil Works CostDue to compact design and light weight there is a substantialsaving in the cost of civil works.o Personnel SafetyGIS grid station causes no risk of injury to operating personnel.2 - 7

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 4A=ysi ofJAfternativeso Short Circuiting by WildlifeFully encapsulated enclosures reduces risk of outages causedby lizards and vandalism.o ReliabilityFactory assembled and tested units offer unbeatableperformance in terms of reliability and continuity of powersupply.* AIS grid stations have following advantages:o It can be extended easilyO It is a cheaper option vis-a-vis GIS grid station.O Alteration / modification of various components is easier than GISgrid station2.4.2 Alternatives for Transmission Lines* Overhead Transmission LinesThis alternative includes construction of traditional overheadtransmission lines. Its characteristics are:o Technically, this option is simple as compared to undergroundcable system as trained manpower is available.o Economically construction and operation & maintenance costs ofoverhead transmission line are lower.o Socially, this system is problem free as it poses no threat toexisting utilities (water supply, telephone lines, gas lines etc) asno large scale digging / excavation is involved.o This system is not very safe / public friendly as the poles andconductors are susceptible to fall during bad weather conditions(high wind speed and heavy rains) causing damage to life andproperty.* Underground CableO The option includes construction of underground cable systeminstead of over-head transmission line.o Technically, its maintenance is costly and difficult as no trainedmanpower to undertake the system is available with LESCO.2 - 8

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 J4naiS ofAfternativeso Economically, this is costlier as compared with the overheadoption. Roughly, it costs 3 times more the overhead option, asexpressed by the LESCO engineers.o The adoption of this option will cause greater number of socialproblems as compared with the over head option, in terms ofthreat to the existing utilities (water supply, telephone lines, gaslines) during the digging/excavation process, traffic disturbance,environmental degradation due to dust and smoke, loss of accessor difficult access of the residents to their residences andbusiness dwellings at the busy and populated routes of BadianRoad and Barki Road loss of infrastructure, crops and tress.* Conclusively, the overhead transmission line represents a bettertechnical option than the underground counterpart under the currenttechnical and socio-economic conditions.2.4.3 Comparison between Towers and Poles* Towers - The conventional towers occupy more space.* Poles - These have small footprint. These are especially suitable forcongested urban localities like Lahore.2.4.4 Insulating / Transformer Oil* Currently used oils in all type of transformers within LESCO are of threetypes:o Naphenic, commonly used now with minimum flash point 1400C &maximum 1500C and freezing point 300C (ICE-296 standard).o Paraffinic Oil - In Pakistan, various companies manufactureparaffinic type oil. This oil is harmless to humans and has nonegative impact on the environment.O Napthenic (Aromatic)2.4.5 Alternatives for Improving Efficiency of Grid Stations* Conversion of Existing Grid StationThis option takes into account the scenario that instead of taking upconstruction of new grid stations, the future power demand of theproposed grid stations areas should be met with by enhancing thecapacity of the existing grid stations through raising its voltage levelfrom 66kV to 132 kV. This option has already been taken intoconsideration while formulating the 6th STG Development Plans,wherein it has provided the conversion of existing six 66 kV gridstations to 132 kV level.2 - 9

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 A4jsis of5AfternativesAugmentation with Higher Capacity TransformersThis option takes into consideration the scenario that instead ofconstructing the new grid stations and the connecting transmissionlines, the existing network should be augmented with higher capacitytransformers to meet the future demand. Such approach has alreadybeen taken into account in the formulation of 6th STG project. Where nospace is available for the construction of new grid stations and theexisting grid stations are overloaded, the plan includes theaugmentation with higher capacity transformers at the same gridstation. In total augmentation plan covers 27 grid stations in future. Forthe 2nd year development plan the augmentation with 40 MVA PTRF'sof the following Grid Stations to be financed by the World Bankincludes:o 132 kV Saidpur Grid Station, Lahoreo 132 kV Rehman Park Grid Station, Lahoreo 132 kV Bhatti Gate Grid Station, Lahoreo 132 kV Defence Grid Station, Lahoreo 132 kV Allama lqbal Town Grid Station, Lahore* Extension in the Capacity of already Existing Grid StationsThis option examines the possibility of avoiding the construction of newgrid stations by increasing in the capacity of already existing gridstations. It is possible at those stations where space is available but thealready installed transformers have reached their maximum designedcapacity and further demand and limited space available at the existinggrid stations, it is not possible for LESCO to adopt such approach asthe sole option. This has been adopted where it was possible such asat Shahkot 132 kV grid station in the current year development plan.* ConclusionThe construction of new grid stations and transmission lines remain theonly option, which is utilized when any of the option mentioned abovecannot be implemented or new areas are to be electrified.2- 10

This Act also establishes policy for land acquisition and compensation,as well as the degree of liability of WAPDA for damages sustained bylandowners or others.3 - 4

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Phy Lega(andAdnanutratveFramewor63.4.4 Electricity Act, 1910This Act provides a legal base for power distribution. A "licensee" under thisAct is enabled to operate for the supply of electricity. This Act obligateslicensee to pay compensation for any damages caused during theconstructions and maintenance of any power distribution facilities.3.4.5 Telegraph Act, 1910The Act was promulgated for installation of telegraphic poles and stringing.This Act makes provision of installing poles/towers without acquiring any land.However, provision is there for temporary acquisition of land during theconstruction period. As such, compensation is made for a specific period. Butin case of 6t STG project, if this Act is invoked, it will be ensured that landunder the transmission lines is accessible and can be used productively. Inthe absence of such a situation the land will be acquired and compensationpaid either under LAA (1894), or under the willing buyer-willing seller atmarket prices with consensus on price.3.4.6 Forest Act, 1927 as AmendedThis Act establishes the right of the Government to designate areas forreserved forest, village forest and protected forest, and may acquire suchareas for prohibiting or restricting the public use of the resources or otheractivities. In case of falling the proposed grid station sites and the ROW oftransmission lines in a forest area, the concerned department will beapproached for the issuance of an NOC under this Act.3.4.7 Protection of Trees and Brushwood Act, 1949This Act prohibits cutting or lopping of trees and brushwood withoutpermission of the Forest Department. In case of invoking of this Act, theForest Department will be approached to seek its permission for cutting oftrees along the routes of transmission lines.3.4.8 Punjab Local Government Ordinance, 2001Under Clause 48 of the 6th Schedule of this Ordinance, the local governmentsare empowered to restrict any project causing pollution to air, water or land.They may also initiate schemes for improving the environment vide thislegislation. In case of 6th STG project, the local government offices at unioncouncil level will be monitoring the project activities relating to environmentaland social aspects.3.4.9 Land Acquisition Act, 1894 Including Later AmendmentsThe Land Acquisition Act, 1894, is a "law for the acquisition of land needed forpublic purposes and for companies and for determining the amount ofcompensation to be paid on account of such acquisition". The exercise of the3 - 5

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Po,'y Lega(and9amstratweFramezwork6power of acquisition has been limited to public purposes. The principles laiddown for the determination of compensation, as clarified by judicialpronouncements made from time to time, reflect the anxiety of the law-giver tocompensate those who have been deprived of property, adequately. It is withthis end in view that the association of the persons interested in the propertywith the process of determination of its negotiated market value by theCollector is a highlight of this Act. The main sections of LLA (1894) foracquisition of land are briefly described as follows;The LAA 1894 is comprised of 8 parts having 55 sections. Part II of this Actdeals with the land acquisition procedures. This part contains 14 sections,starting from Section 4 to Section 17, with 5A, 12A, 16A and 17A as additionsto the original Sections.Section Brief Description4(i) Publication of preliminary notification in the officialgazette for the acquisition of required land.5 Payment of Damages5-A (i)(ii) Hearing of objections6 (i) Declaration of intended acquisition that the land isrequired for a public purpose, after considering the reportunder section 5-A (ii)7 After declaration under section 6(i), collector to take orderfor acquisition.8 Land to be marked out unless it has already been markedout under section 4, measured and planned9 (i) Collector to cause public notices to be given atconvenient places on or near the land to be taken.9 (ii) Such notices should state the particulars of the land soneeded and shall require all persons interested in theland to appear personally or by agent before the collectorat a given time and place. (Time not being less than 15days after the publication of notice)10 The section relates to the powers of collector to requireand enforce the making of statements as to names andinterests.11 The section deals with the enquiry with measurements,value and claims, and Award by the collector.3 - 6

Section 17(4) of the LAA will not be used in the absence of an emergency. Instead,the land will be purchased under willing-seller willing-buyer deal at agreedupon market rates and the seller will have the option not to sell the land, incase an acceptable deal for both the parties is not reached.3.5 INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES' REQUIREMENTSInternational monetary/donor agencies, such as the World Bank and the AsianDevelopment Bank have issued guidelines for preparation and submission ofIEE and ESA Reports. If these guidelines are not adhered to funds may notbe provided for a development project by these agencies. Relevant guidelinesare:3.5.1 Environmental Assessment Requirements and Environmental ReviewProcedures of the Asian Development Bank, 2003.3.5.2 Environmental Impact Assessment - Basic Procedure for DevelopingCountries, United Nations Environmental Programme, 1998.3.5.3 Guidelines of The World Bank* Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1998.

Annex -B of the policy provides the contents of ESA and Annex - C exhibitsobjectives and contents of Environmental Management Plan, CapacityDevelopment and Training, etc. As the World Bank is financing the project, sothe ESA will follow the guidelines provided in OP - 4.01. The mechanisms /procedures for public consultations, monitoring, grievance redressal, etc., willbe framed as per requirements of this OP.* OP-4.04The Bank promotes and supports natural habitat conservation andimproved land use by financing projects designed to integrate intonational and regional development the conservation of natural habitatsand the maintenance of ecological functions. Furthermore, the Bankpromotes the rehabilitation of degraded natural habitats. The Bank doesnot support projects that, in the Bank's opinion, involve the significantconversion or degradation of critical natural habitats.* OP-4.09Agricultural Pest ManagementThe Bank uses various means to assess pest management in thecountry and support integrated pest management (IPM) and the safe useof agricultural pesticides: economic and sector work, sectoral or project-specific environmental assessments, participatory IPM assessments,and adjustment or investment projects and components aimedspecifically at supporting the adoption and use of [PM.In Bank-financed agriculture operations, pest populations are normallycontrolled through IPM approaches, such as biological control, cultural3-8

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 4 / Lega(andAdimnistrativefFramework4practices, and the development and use of crop varieties that areresistant or tolerant to the pest. The Bank may finance the purchase ofpesticides when their use is justified under an IPM approach.Pest Management in Public HealthIn Bank-financed public health projects, the Bank supports controllingpests primarily through environmental methods. Where environ-mentalmethods alone are not effective, the Bank may finance the use ofpesticides for control of disease vectors.Criteria for Pesticide Selection and UseThe procurement of any pesticide in a Bank-financed project iscontingent on an assessment of the nature and degree of associatedrisks, taking into account the proposed use and the intended users. Withrespect to the classification of pesticides and their specific formulations,the Bank refers to the World Health Organization's RecommendedClassification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification(Geneva: WHO 1994-95). The following criteria apply to the selectionand use of pesticides in Bank-financed projects:(a) They must have negligible adverse human health effects.(b) They must be shown to be effective against the target species.(c) They must have minimal effect on non-target species and thenatural environment. The methods, timing, and frequency ofpesticide application are aimed to minimize damage to naturalenemies. Pesticides used in public health programs must bedemonstrated to be safe for inhabitants and domestic animals inthe treated areas, as well as for personnel applying them.(d) Their use must take into account the need to prevent thedevelopment of resistance in pests.The Bank requires that any pesticides it finances be manufactured,packaged, labeled, handled, stored, disposed of, and applied accordingto standards acceptable to the Bank. The Bank does not financeformulated products that fall in WHO classes IA and IB, or formulations ofproducts in Class II, if (a) the country lacks restrictions on theirdistribution and use; or (b) they are likely to be used by, or be accessibleto, lay personnel, farmers, or others without training, equipment, andfacilities to handle, store, and apply these products properly.* OP-4.10The policy of the Bank provides a safeguard to the respect, dignity,human rights, economies and cultures of the indigenous people, beingaffected by some development project. The identities and cultures ofindigenous people are inextricably linked to the land on which they liveand natural resources on which they depend. Bank uses the term3 - 9

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 oJy LegFrameWorf4"indigenous people" in a generic sense to refer to distinct, vulnerable,social and cultural groups possessing in varying degrees thecharacteristics of self-identification, collective attachment togeographically distinct habitats; customary cultural, economic, social orpolitical institutions that are separate from those of dominant society orculture, and an indigenous language.The Bank's safeguard is not triggered as far as the present study isconcerned, as no indigenous people are found at the proposed gridstation sites and along the transmission lines corridors.OP-4.11This policy of the Bank deals with the preservation of cultural property ofan area or a region, being threatened due to implementation of somedevelopment project. The United Nations term "cultural property"includes sites having archeological (pre-historic), paleontological,historical, religious and unique natural values. The World Bank's generalpolicy is to assist in their preservation and to seek to avoid theirelimination. Should any cultural property is identified duringimplementation, the Project will ensure that the cultural property isprotected and the archeology department or other relevant governmentdepartment, dealing with these properties is informed and then theproperty handed over to them. However, in case of 1st Year works of the6th STG Project, no cultural property as defined above, falls in the ROWof transmission lines and the proposed grid station sites.* OP-4.12The policy of the Bank deal the issues and concerns relating toinvoluntary resettlement due to the proposed development project andprovide guidelines to mitigate the adverse impacts on the localcommunity, particularly their relocation. As such this policy providesbasis for the development / preparation of Resettlement PolicyFramework and Resettlement Plan (in case of 200 + affected persons).The Bank's provisions vide this Policy are triggered in case 6th STG 1StYear works involving acquisition of land on involuntary basis. Thesafeguards provided in this Policy are adopted in purchasing the land onwilling buyer-willing seller basis rather than acquiring the land adoptingLAA's emergency clauses. However, the seller has an option to refuseto sell the land. The Policy provides full protection of livelihood to theproject affectees whether they are legal titleholders or are without anylegal title such as squatters encroachers.* OP-4.36The management, conservation, and sustainable development of forestecosystems and their associated resources are essential for lastingpoverty reduction and sustainable development, whether located incountries with abundant forests or in those with depleted or naturally

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Prjct �Enronment4. PROJECT ENVIRONMENTSThe environmental baseline of the Project area is described and presented inaccordance with the TOR objectives of the study. Typical constituents ofenvironmental baselines likely to be affected by the proposed Project interventionsinclude physical, biological and socio-economic environments in the area ofinfluence.4.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT4.1.1 Topography/ReliefTopographically the Project area occupies level and nearly level surfaces.These surfaces had been used for irrigated agriculture in the past. Currentlymost of them have been or are being urbanized with a rapid pace.Predominantly level topography of the area, will not cause any hindrance tothe process of stringing and other constructional activities.4.1.2 Geology and GeomorphologyBroadly speaking, the Project area occupies a part of the Indus Plains whichrepresents a vast geosyncline lying between the Himalayan foothills and thecentral core of the Indian subcontinent. This depression which once may wellhave been an offshoot of the sea has now been filled with tremendousquantities of sediments brought down by rivers from the Himalayas and hasconsequently turned into an alluvial plain. In a few places this alluvium hasbeen estimated to be several thousand feet thick over under lying rocks.4.1.3 Landforms and SoilsAlthough the entire area is an alluvial plain yet their varying parts weredeposited in different ways and at different times ranging from LatePleistocene (50,000 years) to Recent (few hundred years) periods asreflected by the degree of soil development and elevation of the landsurfaces. The landforms encountered in the Project area are:* Active / Recent Floodplains and SoilsThis landform occurs along the River Ravi and occupies areas that havebeen inundated almost every year in summer during Pre Indus BasinTreaty, 1960 (period). The landform comprises gently undulatinglevees/bars and nearly level to slightly concave basins / channels in fills ofthe abandoned river creeks. The position of channels and levees/barshave been subjected to continual change within this landform resulting in4-1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 !Project {Environmentthe deposition of new sediments on the surface every year. Thelevees/bars are predominantly sandy whereas the basins/channels in fillsare silty and clayey.* Sub-recent Floodplains and SoilsThese plains occupy relatively higher physiographic positions next to theActive/Recent floodplains. These are characterized by covered meanderscrolls and levees. The Saggian Grid Station site has been identified onthis landform where the soils are younger and recently developed. Thesurface material is commonly silt loam or very fine sandy loam underlainby fresh sand at shallower depth.* Old River Terrace and SoilsMost of the grid station sites are located on the old river terrace which is 5to 9 m higher than the sub-recent floodplains. Such differences inelevation are more evident and can be seen in the form of severely erodedterrace escarpment as for example near Sundar on the left bank of theRiver Ravi downstream of Lahore. The soil materials of the old riverterrace are calcareous, moderately fine textured and homogenized togreater depth. The proposed Inayat Pura, Barki, Mominpura and Gulberggrid station sites are located on this terrace. The soils are highly suitablefor engineering and agricultural purposes.* Engineering Properties of SoilsThe soil data/properties interpreted and rated in terms of their stability fortower foundation include the effective soil depth, slope of the land surface,flooding, internal drainage, stoniness/rockiness, depth to water table,susceptibility to frost, shrinkage-swell potential and texture of the soils.Based on these parameters the soils of the Project area have beenevaluated as having none to slight limitations for tower foundation aregiven in Table 4.1.4-2

Thus, anaccurate knowledge of the soil conditions is of paramount importance. Thisknowledge includes physical properties such as soil bearing capacity,ground water depth and chemical properties such as corrosiveness,electrical conductivity and soluble sulfate content. All the soils in theProject area are free from the physical and chemical hazards.4.1.4 SeismologyHorizontal and vertical seismic forces transmitted to the support structures bythe ground during earthquake may cause extremely high mechanical stressesto all grid station components. Seismic adaptation of grid stations is primarilyrelated to the appropriate design of support structures and connectionsbetween the units. The numerous design measures include stiffening of steelstructures, installation of damping elements, increase of cantilever, strength ofsupport insulators and selection of suitable type of connections between theunits. Whenever possible an earthquake proof design should be made so thatlittle or no intensification of the basic accelerations associated with thefrequency spectrum of the seismic disturbances may be expected.4-3

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 TrPoect 'Environnwnt4.1.5 Climate* Varying climatic conditions and other environmental issues must beconsidered for the design and execution of a Project. The climate as aninfluencing factor affecting the performance of electrical equipment arethe mean physical and chemical conditions of the atmosphere in theopen air or in rooms including daily and seasonal changes. Majorclimatic components are air, temperature and humidity. However todetermine the overall effect of climatic stresses, daily and seasonaltemperature changes, site altitude, direct solar radiation, precipitationand thunderstorms must be considered.* The climate of Lahore area is classified as Sub-humid SubtropicalContinental. The mean annual rainfall is 693 mm, most of which fallsduring late summer (monsoon) season. The mean summer and wintertemperatures are 31.80C and 14.70C respectively and the mean annual.Mean minimum temperatures are 30.80C and 18.40C respectively. Themean annual pan evaporation is 1,182 mm.* In arid zones sudden changes in temperature take place when a hot landwind is replaced by cold sea wind or during a thunderstorm. Theseexceptionally great changes in temperature within a short period of timemay affect equipment efficiency greatly.* The wind as a climatic element has a number of effects, such as on thedesign of the frame structures for equipment, suspensions andtransmission line between an equipment and the air surrounding it. Inmany places moisture, dust and salts are carried by the wind into theequipment environment where they may detrimentally affect theoperating conditions.* Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude at the rate ofabout 10 mbar per 100 m. This pressure decline affects the insulationstrength of air gaps and corona losses on conductors and connectionsnegatively.* The monthly variations of rainfall, temperatures, evaporation, relativehumidity and wind speed for the period from 1973 to 2002 of Lahore aregiven in Table 4.2.4-4

This is the hottest and the driest season,with persistent dry and hot winds. Day time temperature rises to 39.70C. Rains are rare and high Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) valuesof 163 mm preclude plants re-growth. The flows in the river begin torise simultaneously due to snow-melt water in the high mountains.o Monsoon SeasonMonsoon is the main rainy period, which starts at the beginning ofJuly, reaches its climax in August and gradually, subsides inSeptember. The cool monsoon winds followed by heavy showerslower the temperature to great extent. PET remains the highest, whichseemingly nullifies the effectiveness of rains towards plant growth.The part of rain percolates into the soil and is conserved in the subsoiland part adds to the groundwater. The conserved moisture in the soilsis generally sufficient to rejuvenate the vegetation. All plants growrapidly and mature towards the end of the season. With the start ofmonsoon season the rivers flow at their peak level. The groundwaterlevel is improved toward the end of the season in September andOctober.

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 _Pronect EnvironmentO Post-monsoon SeasonPost monsoon season refers to autumn (October-November). Thetemperature starts decreasing but the extreme aridity prevents plantsto flower early and set seed toward mid-seasons. Ground water levelin this season rises maximally.o Winter SeasonWinter refers to the period from December to January. The lowesttemperature of 1.7�C and cold winds characterize this season. Theplants become dormant and most of them dry out. Most of the treesshed their leaves and few remain green or partly green. Sometimesthis season becomes severe due to cold Siberian winds. Groundwaterlevel declines in this season due to low flows in the rivers and no orlittle rains.o Spring SeasonSpring refers to the period from February to March. Temperaturesbecome pleasant. The mean maximum temperature is 26.90C with thehighest evaporation of 85 mm and relative humidity of 42.4 percent.Some light showers of rain may also fall without generating run off.The vegetation sprouts again because of conserved moisture from thewinter and spring rains, if any.4.1.6 Surface WaterThe Project area is drained by the River Ravi which flows left of Lahore city.Consequent upon IBT, 1960 with India, the control of water flow of the RiverRavi shifted to India. Since then the River Ravi in Pakistan has become astorm water cum waste water drain. The storm water and sewage drain intoRiver Ravi making it a deluge of sewage and industrial effluent particularly inlow flow season (winter). Saggian outfall drain and Gulberg-l and Gulberg-lldrains passing by Saggian Grid Station and Gulberg Grid Station (Fig 1)respectively carry sewage of Lahore city and its suburbs and emptythemselves into the River Ravi. The data presented in Table 4.3 reveals thatthe quality of drain water at Saggian disposal station Lahore far exceeds theNEQS limits and as such it is harmful for agricultural and drinking purposes.Moreover, these drains emit foul Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) like smellparticularly in dry seasons.4-6

The bulk of the alluvium consistsof mainly fine to medium sand, silt and clay. The alluvial complex containsa vast regional porous aquifer system which extends from a few hundredm or more virtually throughout the Indus plain.* The alluvial deposits occur chiefly in irregularly shaped tabular bodies ofsand interbedded with lenticular layers of silt and clay. It is found thatlenses of silt, clay and silt sand compose about 25 to 35 percent of theentire bulk of the alluvial complex. These fine grained deposits of lowpermeability are discontinuous so that beds of sand constituting theremaining 65 to 75 percent of the alluvium serve as a single unified highlytransmassive aquifer.* These sediments are highly transmissive and are being tapped by morethan 700,000 public and private tube wells with discharge capacities of0.5 to 4.0 cusecs in Punjab. The depth to deep ground water in Lahorearea is below 100 m whereas shallow ground water is reported to occurbetween 50 - 70 m.* The quality of deep ground water in the major part of Lahore district isfresh with less than 1000 mg/I total dissolved solids (TDS) whereas insmall areas it is brackish with 1000-2000 mg/l TDS. No saline watercontaining TDS above 2000 mg/l is known to occur in Lahore district asshown in Exhibit 10 Table 4.4 presents the quality of ground waterindicating that the water is suitable for agricultural and drinking purpose.Drinking water quality standards of World Health Organization (WHO) aregiven in Table 4.5.4-1 0

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Project Environment4.1.8 Ambient Air QualityDust, salts or gases in the air may adversely affect service life and properoperation of installations and equipments. The sources of this type of airpollution include cement mills, paper mills, stone crushers, asphalt plants,brick-kilns and vehicular traffic.Moisture in conjunction with salt polluted dust (if any) may cause severecorrosion problems. On the other hand the electric strength of insulators maybe strongly reduced when the contamination layer is sufficiently wetted by fog,dew or rain. When equipment is installed in closed rooms, good protectionagainst air pollution is provided by filtering the air and by maintaining anoverpressure in the room.The ambient air quality recorded at Bund Road Mahmood Booti in December2005 and January 2006 at different times in a day is given in Tables 4.6 and4.7.

The genera areessentially tropical and are adapted to the rhythm of long summer daysand a rainy season and short winter days with a dry season. Thevegetation typically consists of xerophytes which are adapted to theextreme seasonal temperature and moisture changes and to a widevariety of edaphic conditions. The principle adaptation is however to thescarcity of moisture. All the species are self-generating and self-maintaining under normal use.* Based on climate, Seth and Champion (1963) classified the vegetation ofthe Indus plains as desert thorn forest. This is an open low forest in whichthorny hard-wooded species predominate, Acacia spp. being particularlycharacteristic. The dominant climax vegetation consists of Salvadoraoleoides (Khabbar) and Prosopis cineraria (Kandi), supplemented withTamarix aphylla (Farash) and Capparis decidua (Karir). The shrub generainclude Zizyphus, Calotropis, Suaeda, Salsola and Haloxylon. Commongrass genera are Aristida, Eleusine, Panicuum, Cenchrus, Lasiurus andDesmostachya.* The forests before canal colonization represented a highly specializedecosystem adapted to a harsh climate and still enabling a high level ofdiversity. They provided habitat to the thriving wildlife populationsincluding ring dove, black pigeon, green pigeon, quails, and other gamebirds including the Houbara bustard and partridges. Among the mammalschinkara deer, nilgae, black buck, hog deer, hare, squirrel, porcupine anddifferent rodent species were important. The dense cover of these forestsprovided effective cover from enemies and the tall grasses such asSaccharum munja (Kana) and thickets of Salvadora oleoides andCapparis decidua provided nesting sites for birds. Of the carnivores thatlived in these forests, carols, buzards, eagles, civets, hyenas, lynxes,wolves, jackals and foxes were once common. The disappearance orendangered status of many of these species corresponded directly withthe destruction of the habitat.* With the development of canal irrigation system in the Indus Plains theoriginal vegetation has now been completely eliminated and largelyreplaced by Acacia nilotica, Dalbergia sissoo and Eucalyptuscamaldulensis. Currently the groves of the original vegetation are seen ingraveyards and shrines or as isolated specimen here and there.4-17

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Proect �Enzronment4.2.2 Reserved Forests / National ParksThe Project area is now highly urbanized and industrialized and as such lacksreserved forests, national parks or game sanctuaries. However, man-createdplantations comprising of ornamental and shade species are common everywhere in these areas.4.2.3 Fauna/WildlifeHistorically the Project area was once typified by desert thorn forest that hasnow been cleared by urbanization. Secondary plantations have beendeveloped which provide habitat to certain bird species that have adapted tothe changed environment.* BirdsThe bird communities found in the area include a variety of residentialbirds, such as house crow (Coruus splendens), common mynah(Acridotheres tristis), red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer), ringdove(Streptopelia decaocto) and pigeon (Columba livia). The less urbanizedareas host less common local or migrant species of bee-eaters,woodpeckers, parakeets, warblers and thrushes. Waterfowls are not foundin the Project area as there is no water body found in area.* MammalsThe terrestrial mammals including jackal, boar, fox, hare and hog deer,which were once found in the area have now completely vanished from thescene. The only mammals seen in the area are domesticated animals,such as buffaloes, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, donkeys, dogs, cats etc.* ReptilesThe snakes are rarely found in the area. Lizards of different kinds are seenin areas with no human activities. Scorpions are also found in areas, whichare characteristically sandy in nature.4.3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTBefore initiating the data collection for the study, a reconnaissance levelscreening was carried out within the tentatively provided ROW of 132 kVtransmission lines and grid station sites to have an initial account of thepotential social problems relating to the project and to identify the potentialstakeholders. Consultations with the communities were made to identify thesocial issues attached with the project and the perception of the people aboutthe Project. This initial assessment was used as feed back for the planningand design of following data collection activities.* A census survey to document the number and assets of the projectaffected persons settled or carrying out business within the ROW ofproposed transmission lines and the grid station sites.4-18

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 SPrnect qEnvironment* A socioeconomic baseline survey to develop an overall socioeconomicprofile of the people residing within 50 meters on both sides of theROW of transmission lines. For grid stations, this survey was madewithin a radius of 50 meters.4.3.1 Approach and MethodologyThe following methodology was adopted to carry out field surveys and todocument the results.4.3.2 Determination of Number of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)In order to determine the number of PAPs, a detailed survey of the proposedgrid station sites and the ROW of transmission lines was made. In case of gridstations, the actual boundaries of the proposed sites were considered whilethe ROW of transmission lines was taken as 12 m (6 m from the center line ofthe transmission line, on both sides). The number of project affected personsfrom the 5 proposed grid station sites and the ROW of transmission lines weredetermined as 22 (for details refer Table 4.1 1).4.3.3 Census of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)A 100 percent census of these affected persons was carried out. The purposeof census was to register the number and status of PAPs, likely to bephysically displaced; and document the land & other assets to be affected asa result of the project; and, therefore, entitled to compensation. Projectaffected persons were identified as land owners, squatters-encroachers andowners farm operators. The following features of the PAPs were addressed inthe census.Number of family membersNature of business/occupationType and value of structures/assets ownedOwnership documentation, if anyAnnual incomeVulnerable groupsType of standing crops, trees and their value.The 24th Day of April 2006 was taken as the cut-off date for entitlementsunder the project to determine the eligibility for compensation. People movinginto the RoW after this date will not be considered as entitled to anycompensation. Census data was collected through individual interviews of thePAPs with the help of a structured questionnaire (Appendix-4).4.3.4 Socioeconomic Survey* Objectives and JustificationThe underlying objective of the survey was to have an overall assessmentof the socioeconomic profile of the people of area, their level of4-19

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 �Project 'EnVironmentdependence on electricity and their vulnerability status. This survey alsoportrays the socioeconomic profile of the PAPs, indirectly, as it has beenconducted from the areas of impact of grid station sites and transmissionline routes. The survey focused the socioeconomic features of the studysample, such as demographic characteristics, education and literacyrates, nature of business/occupation, income, expenditure patterns,access to social amenities, possession of electronics & other householditems dependent on electricity, conflict resolution mechanism and womenrole in socioeconomic activities. The data were collected through personalinterviews by using a comprehensive questionnaire (Appendix-5). A teamof professionals comprising sociologists and economist carried out fielddata collection task.* Study DesignThe area of impact was taken as 50 m from the center of transmission lineand for grid station, a radius of 50 m was taken to determine the studyuniverse. The area of impact of different grid station sites andtransmission lines had varied socioeconomic characteristics. Teammoved to these sites to collect data regarding their socioeconomic cultureand extent of their dependence on electricity. A counting of the houses/other structures was made within this area of impact in terms of number ofhouseholds. A total of 319 houses were determined from the area ofimpact of all the grid stations and the connecting transmission linesroutes.* Determination of Sample SizeThe selection of sample size for a study depends upon three components,(i) the parameter to be estimated, (ii) the confidence level and (iii) thedesired degree of accuracy or margin of errors. For instance, we areconsidering a 45% rate of population participation in the proposed projectstudy, with a confidence level of 95% and 10% precision or margin oferrors. Following equation was used to determine sample size;n = 62* p(100-p)x2Here, 6= Standard Deviationp= % of participation of populationx= precision of margin of errors.Solving,n = (1.29)2 * 45% (100-45)(1 0%)2n = 41.18 Rounded to 41 household in areas of impact of grid stationsand transmission lines be drawn.* Study SampleThe sample for the socioeconomic survey was taken as 15 percent (i.e. 49households) on overall basis. The areas of impact of different grid stationsites had varied type of socioeconomic characteristics. Keeping in view

these characteristics, a 15 percent study sample instead of 13 percent asdetermined above, on overall basis was drawn by applying stratified4-20

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 roject {Environment* Income of the PAPs to be AffectedThe effects on the income and sources of livelihood of the PAPs as a resultof project implementation are discussed hereunder.o Mominpura Grid Station SiteThe proposed piece of land for this grid station, measuring about 41.65kanals is owned by 15 private owners, according to the revenuerecords (refer Annexure-1). Presently, the major part of the land is lyinguncultivated with scattered cultivation of fodder in small patches. Thereason to this phenomenon as explained by the stakeholders duringdiscussions was that firstly, as the land is jointly owned by a groupmany owners with their individual share in "kanals" (1/8th of an acre) or"marlas" (1/20th of a kanal), the cultivation of small pieces of land hadalready become uneconomical for the owners and earnings insufficientto meet their needs. So, they adopted other professions for theirlivelihood and started ignoring their small pieces of land for cultivation.Hence, the owners are generating no regular income from this piece ofland. Secondly, being situated on the main G.T. Road, the land hasbecome commercial in nature and a good deal of economic activity interms of general business and steel furnaces is taking place in thisarea. Negotiations between LESCO and the owners of the land areunder way to purchase this piece of land from the owners at negotiatedwilling-buyer willing-seller market prices. However, the seller has anoption to refuse to sell the land. This land will be procured as perprovisions of the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF).o Inayatpura Grid Station SiteThe piece of land measuring about 33.15 kanals, for the proposed gridstation, has been offered to LESCO by the State Life Housing Societyfor constructing the grid station. This piece of land is in the form of anopen plot. Hence, the acquisition of this site will not affect the incomeor source of livelihood of any person. However, its connectingtransmission line is about 7.5 km long and a small portion (about 500 min length) will be passing through privately owned lands. These landsare owned by 4 owners. They cultivate fodder on these lands and onehas grown orchards trees of different types in addition to fodder cropcultivation. They will be suffering temporary loss in the form of cropdamages during the construction phase. About 63 fruit trees will needpermanent cutting for the clearance of the ROW of transmission linepassing from these lands. The owner will suffer the one season incomefrom these trees, as well. The loss to be borne by the each projectaffected person is provided in Table 4.14.4-24

Annual income per fruit bearing tree in case ofmango and Jaman was Rs.1700 and 1250, respectively, while for otherfruit trees, the income per tree per annum was reported by the ownersas Rs.1000 per tree).O Barki Grid StationThe piece of land measuring about 32.00 kanals, has been offered toLESCO by the Defence Housing Authority (DHA), Lahore for theproposed 132 KV Barki Grid Station. Thus, the acquisition of this sitehas no social problems. This site is situated in the Phase-VI of DHA.This grid station will be connected through the existing Kot Lakhpat-Ghazi Transmission Line passing at the main Barki Road at a distanceof about 8 km. The ROW of this transmission line will pass through thegovernment land along the Barki Road. Three squatters' encroachersare earning their livelihood within the proposed ROW of thistransmission line.

The respondents have reported no major disputefrom any of the sites during the past one-year. For petty conflictsresolution, people generally involve the Nazim / Councilors of theirarea, who bring the matter to the "Musalihat Committee". TheCommittee, after listing both the involved, tries to reach a resolution,acceptable to both the aggrieved. Generally the people accept thedecisions of this Committee. In rural areas, besides the localgovernment set-up, the impartial/ influential landlord also acts toresolve the dispute by involving both the parties in the peace process.His decisions are generally based on the consultation with the elders,acceptable to both the parties.4.3.8 Identification of stakeholdersThe following categories of the people were identified as major stakeholdersas a result of broad based consultations.* People living in the direct area of impact of gird stations and transmissionlines* Squatters / business operators along the ROW of the proposedtransmission lines* Owners of the private land to be purchased for the construction ofproposed grid stations* Owners of the private land falling the ROW of the proposed transmissionlines* Household and working women living in the areas of impact* Students* Government and private servants4 -30

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES AND IMPACTASSESSMENT5.1 SCREENING5.1.1 Requirement of ScreeningThe prediction and assessment is precisely aimed at identification of possiblenegative and positive environmental and social impacts includingopportunities for positive impact enhancement.Screening is the first step in ESA Study. It enables the project developers todecide early at planning & design stage whether an ESA study will berequired or not. It involves environmental screening of the Project usingPEPA, 1997 and World Bank Guidelines. Through quick initial evaluationconsidering location, size, scope, importance, sensitivity and expectedenvironmental and social impacts, the project is allotted an environmentalcategory A, B or C. Considering the above criteria, the present LESCO projectfalls under category B for which a limited scale environmental and socialimpact assessment is required. Concludingly screening of adverseenvironmental and social issues is carried out for planning of theenvironmentally and socio-economically viable mitigation measures and theirinclusion in the environmental management plan.5.1.2 Checklist for Screening of Environmental Issues/ Impacts of the ProjectAreaBased on SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis ofprimary and secondary data, the screening of the likely environmental issues/impacts due to the proposed development works was carried out using theWorld Bank Environmental Assessment Guidelines (OP/BP 4.01) andEnvironmental Assessment Sourcebook, 1999. Checklist of the likely impactsat three stages of the Project was prepared and presented in Table 5.1.Table 5.1Checklist for Screening of Environmental Issues/ Impacts of the Project area1.

If thegovernment takes their lands at the nominal rates, they will be at themercy of prevailing economic situation with uncertain opportunities oflivelihood. This aspect has been taken care of in the ResettlementPolicy Framework.O If the property/ asset or crop any person is affected due to theconstruction activities, he should be compensated. Mitigationmeasures for this concern of the locals has been provided inResettlement Policy Framework.

O If the business/ source of livelihood is affected due to construction ofgrid stations or transmission lines, he should be provided with an5 - 4

There are only threesquatters at DHA/Barki grid station. Compensation for them has beenelaborated in Section 8.9.O The construction of new Grid Stations should be for the benefit of thegeneral public and these should not be the property of the privatehousing societies. This concern has been addressed in Section 6.12and Table 7.1.O The transmission lines should not cross over the private lands orproperties. These will follow the ROWs of the existing transmissionlines as far as possible. It is also elaborated in Section 1.10.2.o The construction activities should not restrict the mobility of the people.This aspect has been covered in relevant sections of chapters 6 and 7.However, specific actions have been covered in section 7.6 andAnnexure-1 2.General Concernso Due to fluctuation in power voltage, many household electric items areburnt; like electric wiring, TV, bulb and tube lights, causing economicloss. The construction of new grid stations will help in stabilizing thepower supplies and relieving us from these economic losses.o Local people should be provided jobs during constructiono Due to frequent load shedding business activities are disturbed,ultimately affecting the income levels of the people.o The frequent and unannounced load shedding cause burning ofelectronics there by making a huge economic loss to the owners onone hand and the disturbed social life, on the other. The construction ofnew Grid Stations will help to lesson these problems.o The transformers are very few and of lower voltage capacity whereasthe load is increasing day by day, due to frequent use of electricitydriven home appliances. Due to this, the power disturbances,particularly in the summer months increase to a terrible level.o Poles siting should be done at proper distance from the road.O The students are the most affected ones by load shedding, particularlythe female students. They cannot carry out their studies in the harshweather, thus staking their future.o The construction of new Grid Stations is the need of the day. It willbring a positive change in the daily life patterns of the people andeconomic activities.O Females use washing machines and electric water pumps in their dailywork. Due to load shedding and power fluctuations, they can notcomplete their work timely, thus putting them under great social andeconomic pressures as they use the leisure time to generate incomefor the family such as sewing of clothes in their houses. When light is

off, their activities are stopped and they are stuck up.5 - 5

Thereare no passageways for humans and animals passing through thesesites. Therefore, Grid Station structures will not pose any impediment tothe movement of livestock and people. Wildlife is non-existent in theProject area as all the Grid Station sites are located in urban or semi-urban areas.Conclusion: No negative impact* Encroachment into WetlandsNo wetland exists in close vicinity of the proposed Grid Station sites andtransmission line routes. The proposed Project interventions will,therefore, not encroach or intercept any wetland.Conclusion: No negative impact* Special Area Protecting Biodiversityo All the five proposed Grid Station sites have since been cleared oftheir natural vegetation for irrigated agriculture or for urbanization.Currently only a few specimen of the natural vegetation in the form ofisolated trees or groves of trees are seen here and there. However,Gulberg and Saggian sites support some man planted trees ofornamental importance providing shelter, shade and aesthetics.O The Gulberg site is used for raising nursery plants and trees. Theremoval of a few trees from the site will not create problems for birdsas they may shift to the other nearby trees. At Saggian site most ofthe trees are growing along the boundary wall of the proposed siteand will not be creating any hindrance in the construction of the GridStation and stringing of transmission line. There are few trees insidethe premises used for shade. Some of them will of course be cut forconstruction of the Grid Station.Conclusion: Minor negative impact* Incidence of Natural HazardsThe incidence of natural hazard like earthquake is not expected in theProject area. As a precautionary measure an earthquake proofdesign could be developed so that little or no intensification of thebasic accelerations associated with the frequency spectrum of theseismic disturbance is encountered.Conclusion: No negative impact5 - 6

These will generate somedust and smoke temporarily which will stop on completion of theconstruction work.Conclusion: Minor and temporary negative impact* Noise and Vibration due to Movement of Vehicles and MachineryConstruction stage will involve the following activities:o Construction of Grid Station buildings, switchyard, Grid Station staffcolonies and pole foundations.o Erection of pole towerso Pole to pole stringing of overhead transmission lineso Storage of construction materialo Dumping of waste materialsThe trucks, tractor trolleys, concrete mixers and cranes for stringing will beused. Neither there will be any blasting activity. Therefore, duringconstruction stage there will not be any unusual noise or vibration todisturb the workers and people around. Three of the Grid Station sitesand transmission line routes including Mominpura, Barki/DHA andlnayatpura/State Life Housing Society are located in the semi-urban areasof Lahore which are currently thinly populated.Conclusion: Temporary minor negative impact* Deterioration of Surface Water Quality due to Sanitary Wastes fromWorkers' CampsNo fresh water bodies are known to exist in the vicinity of Gulberg,Mominpura and Saggian Grid Station sites. The transmission lines off-shooting from 132 kV Kot Lakhpat - Ghazi Grid Station connecting Barkiand Inayatpura gird stations have been planned to traverse along thelower edge of the ramp of the high-lying Khaira distributary. The fieldcamps will be setup at site where sewerage and sanitary wastearrangement already exist from where no sanitary flows, if any, into thehigh-lying Khaira distributary will be possible. Therefore, there will not beany deterioration of surface water quality due to sanitary wastes fromworkers' camps.Conclusion: No negative impact5 - 7

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 of Environmenta(andSociaf Impacts* Disruption of Traffic due to Movement of Heavy MachineryThe construction of the proposed Grid Stations and transmission lines is tobe carried out at sites located on existing main roads having anappropriate traffic load bearing capacity. Additional movement of vehiclesand heavy machinery involved in the construction activities of theproposed Grid Stations, and transmission lines, will not cause trafficblocking resulting in any localized conflict relating to inconvenience inliving conditions of the people except at Saggian Grid Station.Conclusion: Temporary moderate negative impact* Sewage and Solid Waste Disposal from Field Camps and Work SitesThe proposed Grid Station sites and associated transmission line routesare either located in Lahore or its suburbs, where labour force both skilledand unskilled, will be available on daily wage basis. Therefore, there is noneed of constructing the field camps for labour at the work sites except thestores. However, provision shall be made in the contract for theconstruction of small temporary camp for 10 labourers with themanagement facilities of water supply, sewerage and solid waste. Thus,the problem of sewage and solid waste disposal will not arise during theconstruction stage of the Project.Conclusion: No negative impact* Impact on Land UseMost of the transmission line routes fall within the established corridorswhere no agriculture is practiced. A small section of new corridor willtraverse through privately owner agricultural land in Inayatpura area. Afterthe construction of the transmission line the corridor would be used forcrop production as before without any restriction.Conclusion: No negative impact* Short-term Soil Erosion and Silt Run-off due to ConstructionActivitiesThe proposed Grid Stations will be constructed within the limited enclosedpremises where large-scale soil excavation will not be required for theinstallation of fixtures and equipments. Similarly, a circular soil pit of about2 m circumference will be needed for pole foundation construction anderection of tubular poles, where minor excavations will be involved. Theexcavation and construction will be a short-term activity and thecuts/ditches will be filled in with spoils in a short period of time. Thus,these excavations will not pose much problem of soil erosion and silt runoff.Conclusion: Temporary minor negative impact* Pollution of Surface Water by Dumping of Construction WastesNo open water body or pond occurs in the Project area. However, Khairedistributary off-taking from Bambanwala Ravi Bedian (BRB) Link canal5 - 8

Thus, there will not be any chance of the construction wastesto flow/dump into the distributary.Conclusion: No negative impact anticipated.* Risk of Oil Spills from Vehicles / MachineryThe number of vehicles and machinery to be engaged in the constructionactivities will be a few as compared to normal traffic flow along the roads.It may create only surfacial negative impact, by placing a little oil spillwhich will be reversible.Conclusion: Short term minor negative impact, reversible.5.3.3 Environmental Impact Assessment at Project Operation Stage* Clearance of Right of Way (ROW)The general tendency of the people particularly in rural areas is to occupythe ROWs of transmission lines for their business use after theconstruction phase is over. In view of public safety and to facilitate therefurbishing operations the 30m vide corridor of 132 kV transmission linesmust be kept clear of all obstructions all the time. General farm practiceswithin the corridors and plantation not exceeding 4.5 m height are allowed.Similarly open wells including Persian wheel are also allowed to remainunder the transmission lines, but not the tubewells.* Impact on Migratory Bird FlywaysThe birds during migration fly at elevations between 500 and 2000 m,whereas maximum height of the towers of the transmission lines is 20 m.As such, the 132 kV transmission line routes will not cause any obstructionfor the flight of migratory birds. Similarly, none of the Grid Station sitesand/or transmission lines will be intercepting famous Indus Flyway (GreenRoute) causing any disruption to flight of migratory birds.Conclusion: No negative impact* Fire Incidents in Grid Stationso The main causes of firing in Grid Stations are overloading and shortcircuiting of the systems. The fire can break out in any unit of theintegrated complex of the Grid Station and spread instantaneouslyengulfing the whole complex including the switchyard andtransformers.o The fire fighting equipment at the Grid Stations is well enough tohandle the small fires. Each unit is provided independently with anadequate and appropriate fire fighting equipments including CO2, foamtype and sand containers. In case of big fires every Grid Station isprovided with land line and power line carrier telephones to call thenearby fire brigade.

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 of Environmenta(and Social Impactso In order to contain a fault or resulting fire, switches are provided in thecontrol room to isolate the whole Grid Station from its feeding sources.Similar switches are also provided in the switchyard with eachequipment for isolation from the power circuit.o In the past there have been a few fire incidents at Grid Stations inLESCO area. In year 1998 132 kV Allama lqbal Town Grid Stationcaught fire, its switch room, control room and the 20/26 MVA powertransformers in the switchyard caught fire. The fire was contained andhandled by the staff with the help of fire brigade units. Although thisGrid Station is located in a thickly populated area, no damage tonearby property or human life occurred. Similarly, such fire incidentshave occurred at other Grid Stations like Shalimar and Kala Shah KakuGrid Stations but damage to the population in the vicinity of the GridStation has never happened. This is due to the fact, that the GridStations are separated from the nearby built up areas by providing abuffer zone and / or high walls all around the Grid Stations.Conclusion: No significant impact* Leakage and Seepage of Transformer OilO The main causes of transformer oil leakage and seepage are:i Continuous running of transformers over long period of time,renders the seals weak.AI Lack of operation and maintenance (O&M)A Poor quality sealingI High temperature due to power overloadingo In a Grid Station the transformers are regularly monitored to ensurethat there is no seepage or leakage of oil from the transformers.o In case the oil leaks out from the transformer in the switchyard areawhich is gravel based it cannot permeate through the gravel base toreach the earth surface.O In case of seepage, the transformer is repaired in-situ at the GridStation. If there is leakage, the transformer is sent to TransformerReclamation Workshop at Kot Lakhpat for repair.Conclusion: No negative impact of paraffinic base oil* Degeneration of Transformer OilO The three main functional requirements of transformer oil are:i To meet the insulation function, the oil must have high dielectricstrength and low dielectric dissipation factor to withstand theelectric stresses imposed in service.AI To meet the heat transfer and cooling function, the oil must haveviscosity and pour point that are sufficiently low to ensure that oilcirculation is not impaired at the most extreme low temperatureconditions for the equipment.5- 10

Assessment ofjThvironmenta(6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 AndroImnacandSocidImpactsI To meet the arc quenching function, the oil requires a combinationof high dielectric strength, low viscosity and high flash point toprovide sufficient insulation and cooling to ensure the arcing isextinguished.o The transformer oil is regularly monitored to ensure that theconstituents are within the permissible limits as recommended by themanufactures. If the oil has degenerated both chemically andphysically it is upgraded / recycled to IEC 296 standard throughdehydration and regeneration process at Shalimar, Lahore. In case ofdamage of the transformers they are brought to the WAPDA/LESCOTransformer Reclamation Workshop located at Kot Lakhpat Lahorewhere the transformers are repaired and the same oil is used afterpurification, if required. In case the oil contains impurities and sludge,then this oil is sold through auction to different parties for usevariously in preparing chemical products such as soap, but it is neverwasted.Conclusion: No negative impact* Noise from TransformersIf they are overloaded or the power factor is poor the power transformersat the Grid Stations produce noise. Even than this will not exceed thepermissible noise level of 85 dB (A).Conclusion: No significant negative impact* Storage of Waste Materials from Grid StationsThe Grid Stations are provided with stores for storage of equipments anddamaged materials such as porcelain capacitors, wires etc. The damagedmaterials are not kept for long in Grid Station stores. They are shifted to C-type stores at Kot Lakhpat.Conclusion: No negative impact* Operation and Maintenance (O & M) of Transmission Lines and GridStationsDuring the operational stage regular monitoring of the transmission lines,foundation, steel works, conductors, shield wires, hardware and insulatorsare carried out by the patrolling staff of the LESCO. In case of any fault /breakage, it is reported immediately by the patrolling staff for O&M. Thecost of O&M is already included in the Project.Conclusion: No significant negative impact* Landscape and Scenic Values of Project AreaCorridors of the transmission lines in the Project area are routed throughgreen belts, service areas of the roads and distributary banks which willslightly affect the scenic values of the area.Conclusion: No significant negative impact5- 11

Rlssessment of Thvironmenta(6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Ant Snzdal meafandSocifImpacts* Reduction in 0 & M Cost of Power SystemUnder the existing conditions, the electric power transmission anddistribution network is heavily overloaded particularly during the summerseason causing the power system to be unstable and unreliable. Thisproblem increases the 0 & M cost of the Grid Stations and transmissionlines. The construction of new Grid Stations' augmentation and extensionof the existing Grid Stations would bring an improvement in the powertransmission/distribution and increase in load bearing capacity due toinstallation of new and improved structural and operational materials. Suchproject activities will cause reduction in power failure and damage to thetransformers thus minimizing the 0 & M cost.Conclusion: Major positive impact.* Improvement in Voltage Profileo The power equipment especially the power transformers operatingon higher loads tend to inject more reactive power in the systemthan being loaded comparatively less. Consequently, due to morereactive power flow in the system, the voltage level drops. There arecertain other factors affecting the voltage level, but the aforesaidfactor contributes in making the voltage profile poor.o The construction of new, augmentation and extension of existingGrid Stations will enhance load bearing capacity and capability ofpower system. The improvement in voltage profile helps in properfunctioning of electronic equipment used by the consumers.Conclusion: Major positive impact* Reliability and Stability of Electric Supplyo The stability of the Transmission and Transformation Network (TTN)normally relies on number of alternate sources available, faultsoccurrence and trippings and a normally loaded system operatingwithin the permissible limits of the rated voltage.In LESCO transmission system, it is the overloading especially in summerseason when the voltage drop is severe across the network. There arefrequent trippings due to overloading. Consequently the overloadingresults into the break down of transmission lines and cause of fire at anytransmission line above permissible limits, eventuating in forced loadshedding.By implementation of this project the system will become more stable andenhance its capability to cater for the existing and future load needs.Conclusion: Major positive impact5- 12

The land in this vicinity is very costly, beingsurrounded by DHA and other modern housing societies. The ownerwill be paid according to the negotiated price, thus mitigating the majornegative impact.o Fodder crops on 24 kanals at Inayatpura Grid Station transmission linewill be affected during the construction stage. The owners will be paidfor the loss. The impact will be minor negative and will be mitigatedwith the payment of compensation for the loss of crops.o In the ROW of lnayatpura, about 101 privately owned fruit and non-fruittrees will have to be removed. It will be on involuntary basis thuscausing major negative impact. The impact will be brought down tominor negative by making payments to the owners for the trees to becut, at prevailing market rates.* Barki Grid Station Connecting Transmission LineThree squatters with no legal title will be affected in the ROW ofconnecting transmission line of Barki Grid Station. They are earning theirlivelihood by making business at site. Their kiosks and business structureswill remain intact. They will have to stop their business temporarily duringthe stringing stage. Paying them livelihood compensation as suggested inthe RPF, will mitigate the minor negative impact caused by the stoppageof business activities for some days.A summary of anticipated losses by categories of affectees along withsuggested mitigation measures is provided in Table 5.45- 16

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 of EnvirontentaandSock(Impacts5.4.2 Negative Impacts Common to All Grid Stations and Transmission Lines* Loss of socioeconomic activitiesDuring construction phase movement of the locals will be disrupted due tothe construction activities, particularly of transmission lines. Therefore,their socio-economic activities will suffer for a temporary period. Theimpact will be minor negative, which will disappear after the completion ofthe works.* Health HazardsHealth hazards caused due to noise and air pollution during constructionphase not only affect the workers but also the people living / working in theadjoining areas. Temporary minor negative impacts are expected duringthe construction stage, which will disappear with the completion of theproject works. These are taken care of in EMMP.* SafetyThe workers and the residents in the vicinity of transmission lines and GridStations are prone to hazards of high voltage. The ROW of transmissionline of Inayatpura and Barki Grid Station will pass through populated area.Although the design will provide safe horizontal and vertical clearance, yetresidents around these installations will be exposed to a permanent safetyhazard. The impact will be minor negative.* Infrastructure in ROWPresence of public fixtures such as low-tension transmission lines in theROWs area will be a hindrance during the construction stages of theProject. Switching off the power supply from the low-tension lines time andagain during construction will create problems for the residents andbusiness communities. The problem will be temporary in nature and minornegative. To mitigate it LESCO will prepare a load management plan inorder to provide continuous electricity to the affected people.* Cutting of treesAbout 133 trees will need cutting from the government lands for theclearance of routes of proposed transmission lines and Grid Stations sites.This impact will be moderate negative, and will be mitigated with thematurity of compensatory plantation during the coming years.5.4.3 Positive Impacts Common to All Sites* Electric SupplyDuring the process of public consultations, the main concern raised by thestakeholders was the shortage of electricity supply with frequent loadshedding and low voltage problems. The construction of Grid Stations andtransmission lines will play an important role not only in strengthening andstabilizing electricity distribution system in existing areas but also willsupply electricity to many new areas.

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Miation SMeasures6. MITIGATION MEASURES6.1 INTRODUCTIONOne of the main objectives of ESA is to anticipate, and predict unacceptableadverse environmental impacts and prevent, control, minimize or eliminatethese through implementation of appropriate project modifications and/ormitigation measures. This chapter deals with the actions that are required formitigating the impacts of the Project on physical, biological and socio-economic environments of the area. It is imperative that appropriate actionsare taken to make project compatible with its environment. A reasonablecompatibility can be achieved through two approaches. One is that the projectis so refined and tuned that its impacts on the environment are minimal, whilethe other approach is compensatory. Compensation could be through alteringthe environment in such a way that the negative impacts of the project arebalanced through secondary benefits. Both the approaches have beenadopted for this Project.6.2 MITIGATION MEASURES TO BE APPLIED AT PRE-CONSTRUCTIONSTAGE6.2.1 Special Area Protecting BiodiversityThe special area protecting biodiversity is non-existent in the Project area.However, the proposed Gulberg Grid Station site is currently used as plantnursery by PHA, where a cover of trees exists. Also Saggian Grid Station sitesupports some isolated trees or groves of trees within its premises. Some ofthe trees from these two sites, of necessity, will be cut for the construction ofGrid Stations. Similarly the berms of Bedian road and banks of Khairadistributary support a linear plantation of trees. Some of the trees fall withinthe demarcated ROWs will be cut. The impact on biodiversity will be minorand will be mitigated through compensatory plantation by raising suitablespecies at the boundaries of ROWs and Grid Stations. The plantation of treeswill be carried out by the LESCO immediately after completion of theconstruction work. After plantation care till the plants establish their rootsystem in the soil would also be the responsibility of the LESCO.6.3 MITIGATION MEASURES TO BE APPLIED AT CONSTRUCTION STAGE6.3.1 Deterioration of Surface Water QualityNo fresh surface water bodies exist in the Project area. However, high lyingKhaira distributary traverses along part of transmission line corridors inInayatpura and Barki areas. There will be no possibility of disposition ofsanitary wastes from workers' field camps into the high lying distributary.Water borne sewerage system should be arranged by LESCO.6 - 1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Mitation Measures6.3.2 Dust, Smoke, Noise and Vibration HazardsThe movement of contractor's vehicles and machinery would create problemof noise / vibration, dust and smoke at work sites. These problems would bemitigated by using properly maintained and tuned vehicles, silencers/mufflers, hydraulic tools over pneumatics ones and regular water sprinkling atwork sites by the contractor.6.3.3 Hazardous Driving and Disruption of Traffic for Prolonged PeriodThis hazard is foreseen to be encountered at Bedian road during constructionof pole foundations (feed for lnayat pura), erection of poles and stringing ofconductor in the ROWs. The road, because of its narrowness, normally facesthe problem of traffic congestion and blockage at bottlenecks. With theaddition of project vehicles on the road, the problem of traffic congestion willworsen. The problem can be mitigated with careful driving and avoiding thepeak hours of traffic or using alternate routes and visibility signs. Well plannedtraffic management plan (TMP) for the Grid Station sites and the transmissionline routes will mitigate the traffic congestion situation.6.4 MITIGATION MEASURES TO BE APPLIED AT POST-CONSTRUCTIONSTAGE6.4.1 Clearance of Right of Way (ROW)The general tendency of the people particularly in rural areas is to occupy theROWs of transmission lines for their business use after the constructionphase is over. In view of public safety and to facilitate the O&M activities the30 m wide corridors of the 132 kV transmission lines must be kept clear of allobstructions all the time. General farm practices within the corridors andplantations not exceeding 4.5 m height are allowed. Similarly open wellsincluding Persian wheels are allowed to remain under the transmission lines,but not the tube wells.6.4.2 Fire Incidence in Grid Stations* Each Grid Station is provided with appropriate fire fighting equipment tohandle the small fires. In case of big fires every Grid Station is providedwith a land line telephone and a power line carrier telephone to call tonearby fire brigade for help.* In order to contain a fault or fire due to fault or any other abnormalsituation, the switches provided in the control room are put off to isolatethe whole Grid Station from its feeding sources. Similar switches areprovided in the switchyard with each equipment for isolation from thepower circuit.* In the past there have been a few fire incidents at Grid Stations in LESCOarea. For example, in year 1998, in Allama lqbal Town 132 kV Grid Stationthe switch room, control room and the 20/26 MVA power transformers in6 - 2

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Mitation Measuresthe switchyard caught fire. The fire was contained and handled by thestaff with the help of fire brigade units. Although this Grid Station is locatedin thickly populated area, yet no damage to property or human lifeoccurred. Similarly, such fire incidents have occurred at various other GridStations like Shalimar and Kala Shah Kaku. But damage to the populationin the vicinity of the Grid Station has never happened because the GridStations are isolated from the nearby residential areas through a bufferzone and protection walls all around the Grid Stations and PTRF's neverhave bursted.* LESCO Guidelines for Fire Fighting and EmergencyThe guidelines of the LESCO for Fire Fighting and Emergency are given inTable 6.1Table - 6.1What to do in case of Fire and EmergencyRemember: Isolate:* You are the custodian of * Immediately the faulty section andequipment and machines equipment through all possible* You have to safeguard it methods* You have to be vigilant, smart 1.

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Mitigation 9Mfeasures6.4.3 Leakage / Seepage of Transformer OilThe use of PCB has been abandoned in LESCO since, 1990. PCB was a veryhazardous synthetic transformer oil for the environment, specially for theworkers, as its fumes cause cancer and other diseases.* Use of Mineral Oilo LESCO now uses mineral base oil, which is a byproduct of petroleumextracted from the earth. This oil is harmless to humans and has nonegative impact on the environment.O Even if this oil leaks out from the transformer in the switchyard area, itis harmless. It cannot penetrate deep into the earth to reach the watertable.O This oil is never wasted. It is re-utilized by performing dehydration andregeneration processes. These two processes are done for LESCOand other DISCOs at Shalimar Oil Dehydration and RegenerationPlant.O International Electro Commission Standard IEC-296 is one of the mostwidely used standards for supply of oil in the electrical industry. Therevised standard prevents low quality oils enter the market byintroducing stringent limits for oxidation stability and introducing otherfactors. Therefore, a standard can be divided into various sections tocover physical, chemical and electrical properties of the oil. Theseproperties is classified as:Functional: Properties of oil, which have impact on itsfunction as an insulating and cooling liquid.Refining and Stability: Properties of oil that are influenced byquality and type of refining and additivesPerformance: Properties that are related to long termbehavior of oil in service and/or its reactionto high electrical stress and temperatureHealth, Safety andEnvironment: Oil properties related to safe handling andenvironmental protection6.4.4 Noise from TransformersThe power transformers at the Grid Stations produce noise if they areoverloaded or the power factor is poor. This can be mitigated by bringingcapacitors into the circuit to improve the power factor and consequentlylowering the noise produced by them at the time of overloading. LESCO isalso implementing a project in year 2006-2007 for installation of capacitors atGrid Station, which will help to control the noise upto much extent.6 - 4

These owners will be paidaccording to prevailing market! negotiated prices as per provisions of RPF.* At village Leel, on the route of Inayatpura transmission line, the line willpass through the privately owned land and will involve purchase of 0.05kanals of land for pole siting. These owners will be paid according toprevailing market/ negotiated prices as per provisions of RPF.6.6.2 Disruption of Socioeconomic Activities During ConstructionThe local people should be properly compensated for income loss due todisrupted socioeconomic activities. This can be done by providing them jobsduring the construction of transmission lines and Grid Stations by thecontractor.6.6.3 Health HazardHealth hazards due to dust, noise and smoke will be minimized by daily watersprinkling and keeping machinery regularly and properly serviced / tuned bythe contractor. The Project Engineer will make sure the observance of theseactions by the contractor.6.6.4 Infrastructure in ROWThe owners of private infrastructure falling in the ROWs of transmission lineswill be properly compensated. Three kiosks situated within the ROW of Barki6 - 9

Only the business activities will besuspended temporarily during the construction stage. For this, the owners willbe paid a compensation amount as specified in the RPF. Their livelihood willbe restored with the completion of project construction.6.6.5 Cutting of TreesPrivately owned 101 trees (fruit and non-fruit) with in the ROW of InayatpuraGrid Station transmission line will be affected. The owners will becompensated as per market price. In addition, more trees will be planted tocompensate for the trees lost on government land. The compensatoryplantation will help mitigate the negative impacts of tree cutting in the longrun. The compensatory tree plantation can be made in the DHA and State LifeHousing Society roads and along the Kheera Distributary passing through anumber of private housing schemes.6.7 RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLANThe World Bank OP-4.12 requires that should the number of project affecteesexceed 200, a Resettlement Action Plan will be neededSince the number of affected persons is less than 200, hence, noResettlement Action Plan is required as per World Bank OP-4.12. Thecompensation to the PAPs will be made according to the Resettlement PolicyFramework (RPF).6.8 RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF)6.8.1 Need for RPFThe Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has been developed inaccordance with the requirements of the World Bank OP-4.12, on InvoluntaryResettlement. The involuntary resettlement, according to this Policy, maycause severe long-term socioeconomic hardships, impoverishment andenvironmental damages unless appropriate measures are carefully plannedand carried out. The Policy requires that involuntary resettlement should beavoided where feasible, or minimized exploring all viable alternative projectdesigns. In cases, it becomes unavoidable, then the affected persons shouldbe meaningfully consulted providing them an opportunity to participate inplanning and implementing the resettlement programme. They should beassisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standard of living or atleast to restore these, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levelsprevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever ishigher. This Policy endorses the eligibility of all the categories of persons,whether with formal legal rights or without these rights, in a project, butoccupying project area prior to the cut-off date established by the borrowerand acceptable to the Bank.The governing legislation regarding land acquisition and compensation is theLand Acquisition Act (LAA), 1894 with amendments. The LAA is limited to a6-10

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 MiStiation Measurescash compensation policy for the acquisition of land and built-up property, anddamage to other assets such as crops, trees, infrastructure, etc. The LAAdoes not take into account the rehabilitation and resettlement of displacedpopulations and the restoration of their livelihoods. The Bank's OP 4.12,however, provides full protection to the people affected by a Project.Accordingly, the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) defines thecompensation for the acquisition of land and other assets of the project-affected persons (PAPs) affecting within the ROW of the transmission linesand the proposed grid station sites.6.8.2 Basic principles of RPFThe basic principles of the Resettlement Policy Framework are as follows:* To implement the Bank safeguard vide OP 4.12 in order to minimize theimpacts in case of taking over of privately owned land by LESCO for theconstruction of grid stations and transmission lines and for timelypayments to the owners of land at negotiated rates between the LESCOand the owners. The deal will be compulsion free and the owner will havethe option of not selling the land.* To ensure that all the project affectees whether title-holders or without anylegal title are compensated, except for land compensation where title isrequired.* To ensure that the squatters displaced due to project constructionactivities are provided with an alternative arrangement to earn theirlivelihood.* To ensure that the owners of the trees needing removal are paid accordingto the competitive market rates in consideration of the secondary datapublished by the Forest Department.* To ensure that the payments to the owners of the fruit trees have beenmade according to the competitive rates by taking into consideration theremaining useful life of the fruit trees and their productivity, from the dateof census of such affected trees in consultation with the owners and byconsidering the relevant secondary data published by the AgricultureDepartment.* To ensure that the owners of affected trees are allowed to salvage thetrees wood.* To make provisions for the payment of compensation to the owners ofcultivated land for the loss of crops during the construction activities. Suchowners will be provided an income safety net, cushioning them againstpotential delays in the construction of transmission lines.* To ensure that any loss to the community owned utilities, caused by theconstruction activities is met with by the LESCO in the shape of restoration/ replacement of affected utilities.* To ensure that the vulnerable squatters / encroachers are paidcompensation for their affected assets at replacement costs (withoutdeducting the salvage value) and loss of source of livelihood. Absence of a

The ownership of land will be verified on the basis ofcurrent record of rights with the Provincial Board of Revenue. The land will bepurchased at negotiated price between the LESCO and the owners of theland, based on willing-seller willing-buyer deal and the owners will have theoption of refusing to sell. LESCO will be responsible for disbursing allcompensation payments, before the possession of land is taken.6.8.5 Owners of trees and cropsThe owners of the affected trees and crops will be compensated in thefollowing way.* In case of loss of fruit trees, the owner will be provided compensationby taking into account the type of tree, average production per tree, itsremaining fruit bearing life and the present life as stated by the owner.The compensation will be determined at the current market prices as6- 12

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Mditbgation 9Mdeasuresprevailed at the cut-off date. For this purpose, the secondary data fromthe publications of the concerned departments will also be used.* For valuation of privately owned non-fruit trees, the informationpublished by the Forest Department will be consulted. However, thevaluation of these assets will be decided on the basis of the prevailingprice by taking into consideration the type, age and size of the trees.* The damage caused to standing crops as a result of constructionactivities will be assessed and paid by the LESCO to the cultivator ofthe affected land. The value of such compensation will be assessed bytaking into consideration the type of crops grown on the affected landduring the last two seasons, their production and value at currentprices.* In case of delays in the proposed construction plan to the next croppingseason, the affected person will be paid amounts equal to the originalcompensation plus the 10 percent extra allowance to offset theinflation.6.8.6 Squatters/ encroachers business operators within ROWThe squatters / encroachers earning their livelihood within the ROW ofproposed transmission lines will be affected only for the stringing stage of thepower line. During this period, they will have to suspend their business. Suchbusiness operators will be paid one-time compensation, in accordance withthe official poverty line amount, for the loss of their income due to closure oftheir business activities.6.8.7 Squatters/ Encroacher's Commercial Structures within ROWSquatters who own and run a commercial business that falls within the ROWof transmission lines and affected with the construction activities, will be re-established at a location as near as possible to the original place of work,within the ROW. They will also be allowed to salvage their structure material,and LESCO will provide transport to shift their personal belongings to thenearby location. Squatters / encroachers owning any fixed assets, such ashand pumps or boundary walls, that fall within ROW will be allowed to salvagethe facilities before they are demolished. Similarly, they will be paid forstanding crop or trees, if any, along with salvage of tree wood. However, thesurvey has revealed that in case of 1st year works, no commercial structuresof the squatter encroachers within the ROW will be affected.6.8.8 Roadside plantation within the ROW of transmission linesIn case, the tree cutting is involved within the ROW, it will be very selective.Only those trees will be removed that will affect the transmission line working.The other small height trees on the route will be saved and a regular pruning /management programme for these trees will be adopted by LESCO.6- 13

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Mitiation Measures6.9 LAND VALUATION PROCEDURELESCO will designate its representative for the assessment of cost of land atcurrent market value and negotiations with the owners. Land will be valued atcurrent prevailing market price keeping in view its type, productivity, location,record of past transactions and the stakeholders' assessment of prices of theirland. For this purpose, the LAC LESCO will coordinate with the provincial revenuestaff, to carry out a survey of land prices based on recent past three yearstransactions of similar lands registered for the proceeding around locations wherethe land is to be acquired, in consultation with the stakeholders.6.10 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISMIn the ESA Study the socio-environmental issues relating to the implementation ofselected works of 6th STG Project are identified and mitigation measures aresuggested to address these issues in terms of Environmental Management andMonitoring Plan (EMMP) and Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF). However, inspite of best efforts, there is every chance that the individuals / communitiesaffected by the project are dissatisfied with the measures adopted to address theadverse impacts of the project. Keeping in view the findings of the ESA study, it isanticipated that the nature of such complaints will relate to compensation mattersby the project functionaries and within the communities. For example, non-judiciousdistribution of amount among the owners of jointly owned land and contractor'sbehaviour in executing the project works. In this situation addressing thegrievances of the aggrieved at the root level will ensure the timely and successfulimplementation of the project. It will also provide a public forum to the aggrieved toraise their objections and through conflict resolution, address these issuesadequately. The main functions of the GRM will be as follows:* To provide a mechanism to the aggrieved persons on problems arising as aresult of project activities,* To facilitate the recording of the grievances of the PAPs, categorize andprioritize the grievances that need to be resolved, and* To ensure reporting to the aggrieved parties about the developments regardingtheir grievances and the decision of the project authorities.* To ensure that the GRM provide a solution of the grievances.A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be formed to address the matterseffectively at the root level. The Committee will be headed by the Project Engineer(or Project Director, whichever the designation may be) with Socio-economist (fromproposed LESCO Environmental and Social Cell) and a representative of theSupervision Consultants as its official members and a person from thecommunities, as its non-official member. The non-project person should be arepresentative of the communities and should be regarded as impartial.Under the GRM, the concerned XEN Construction, supported by the ConstructionSupervision Consultant, will maintain the Social Complaint Register (SCR) at the6- 17

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 20067 ation Measuressites to document all complaints received from the local communities. Theinformation recorded in the Register will include date of the complaint, particulars ofthe complainant, description of the grievance, actions to be taken, the personresponsible to take the action, follow up requirements and the target date for theimplementation of the mitigation measure. The register will also record the actualmeasures taken to mitigate these concerns.On the receipt of a complaint, the XEN concerned through staff and with the help ofmonitoring consultants will register it and forword it to the GRC. The Committee willreview the matter keeping in view its nature and suggest a remedial action withinthree days. If considered necessary, the Committee will consult the complainant aswell. Once the Committee decides the remedial action, the Project Engineer willimplement it within a week. The decision will be documented in the SCR, withcomplete details as discussed above, and if decision could not be implemented,the reasons will also be documented. The proposed remedial action will be sharedwith the complainant within 10 days. Similarly, the actual action taken will also bedocumented in the Register and shared with the complainant. The complainant'sviews on the remedial action taken will also be documented in the Register.The SCR will be reviewed during the fortnightly-meetings at the site. The progresson the remedial actions will also be reviewed during the meetings.The Project Engineer with the assistance and support from the SupervisionConsultant will produce periodic reports based on the information collected. Thesewill include reports for:* Project initiation meetings with each contractor,* Fortnightly meetings,* Non-compliances,* Effects monitoring.At the end of the construction phase, a final report will also be prepared.6.11 CONSULTATION STRATEGYA continued process of keeping the stakeholders informed and receiving theirfeedback at various stages of project implementation will provide a good measureto improve the social acceptability of the project and also will ensure theparticipation of the stakeholders in the process of project development. As per therequirement of the Bank's OP-4.01 the following strategy for public consultationduring the implementation of the project work is delineated.Public consultations will be made at each stage of the project, i.e. design,construction and operation. A description of these consultations along with issuesto be discussed and target participants is provided, as follows.6- 18

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 MitFation Measures* The public consultations at design stage will involve the dissemination ofproject objectives and details of works to the general stakeholders for theiropinions about the project through consultative meetings. The stakeholderswill be asked to share their views about the project and give suggestionsabout the project design, keeping in view the area specific issues. Thediscussions and suggestions from these meetings will be used for improvingthe project design to the levels of social acceptance. Further, scopingsessions and focused group discussions with the people having specificstakes in areas where the proposed project interventions are planned to beimplemented, will be carried out to record their views and concerns aboutthe project, if any. The findings of these consultations will be presented inthe ESA Report.* The construction stage consultations will be made in areas where theconstruction activities are under way. The target participants will be theindividual persons and communities in the area. The major issues at thisstage may include the views and concerns of the stakeholders about thecontractors' working behaviour, relating to compensation, etc. Scopingsessions will be held with these stakeholders to appraise them about theproject works and receive their feedback in terms of their concerns andviews about the pace and quality of works; and the problems they areexperiencing due to project works and mitigation suggestions from thestakeholders.* The operation stage consultations will be held in the areas where theproposed interventions have been implemented. The target participants willbe the stakeholders with in the direct influence of the proposedinterventions. The major issues may relate to environmental and socialaspects, i.e. unattended ditches & debris by the contractor, pending casesof non-payment of compensation to the PAPs due to any reason, etc.Individual consultations and scoping sessions will be made with thesestakeholders to share their views about the post construction socio-environmental impacts of the project and remedial measures.The public consultations will be a continued activity. The ESA Consultantswill make the public consultations at design stage and the LESCOEnvironmental and Social Cell (LESC) will carry out the construction stageand post-construction stage consultations.The consultations will be made in accordance with the requirement ofBank's OP-4.01 at all sites. ESA consultation will be done in collaborationwith the design consultants. The findings of the consultations by the LESCwill be presented in the Monthly Progress Report and the LESCO will submitto the Bank the report on public consultation, regularly, on monthly basis.The costs of these works will not be a part of Environmental Budget.6.12 SOCIAL SCREENING OF THE PROJECTThe social screening of the project as per checklist provided in the TOR of thestudy is made as under:

A post of Environmental Engineer has already beensanctioned in the LESCO to take care of the environmental aspects. However,there is no manpower available to deal with the social issues. It is recommendedthat steps be taken by the LESCO authorities to get sanctioned a post of Socio-economist. Efforts should be made to create the proposed LESC before the startof Project works. However, as the 1 st year works are to start immediately and theexisting staff will be dealing with the social and environmental issues, so to betterunderstand and deal with these issues, the training / capacity buildingprogramme is suggested for the 1st year, by hiring environmental and socialexperts who are familiar with the latest developments in their areas of expertise.The details of the training programme are furnished in Annexure-11. In themeantime, with the creation of LESC and induction of requisite personnel, theLESC will be able to devise training plans at various levels to take care of theneeds of the staff involved in the 6th STG Project, relating to environmental andsocial issues assessment. The costs of these training programmes work out tobe Rs.0.20 million as per following details:* Daily charges for the invited experts @ Rs.6,000/day for 18 days=Rs.108,000* Other Misc. Charges @ Rs.2000/ day for 30 days = Rs.60,000.00* Stationery and Training Material - Rs. 32,000.00* Total Cost = Rs. 0.20 Million7.5.2 Venue of TrainingThe courses will be run in the office premises of LESCO or at a suitablelocation within the Project area. Site visits to the completed and on-goingprojects will be arranged.7.6 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (TMP)7.6.1 Need for TMPDuring the construction of grid stations and stringing of transmission lines,there is movement of vehicles carrying the materials, equipment andmachinery. This entails the increased traffic density and ensuing disruption ofhuman activities. With a view to continue with the routine life operations it isimperative to regulate the follow of traffic7.6.2 Concept of TMP for the Proposed ProjectThe proposed project is located in the highly urbanized city of Lahore and itssurroundings. However, except the Saggian grid station, all other grid stationsites are detached and are situated away from the mainstream traffic. TMPfor each site has been made in view of the existing topographical features andthe traffic load. Detailed TMP is given as Annexure-1 2.7- 15

Involvement of the Lahore DistrictAdministration, City Government and the Traffic Police has been madefor the preparation and subsequent effective implementation of theTMP for the respective project sites .* In order to ensure that people living in the surrounding localities of gridstation and those utilizing the roads in its vicinity are familiar with theproposed closures of traffic during the construction operation anelaborate mass awareness campaign will be launched. This will bedone through running the programmes over electronic media and printmedia. Lectures about various aspects of the TMP will be delivered inschools, colleges, mosques and town offices. Details are given inAnnexure 12.* Total cost of TMP is about Rs. 1.00 million. Breakdown of this cost isgiven in Annexure-12.7.6.4 Summary of TMP for Saggian Grid Station and Allied Transmission LineTMPs for the respective grid stations and transmission lines have been givenin Annexure-12. Here salient features of the TMP for Saggian grid station andits transmission line are summarized. Two indicative plans have been given.Plan 1 encompasses the diversion of traffic from across the Saggian Bridge atAl-saeed Chowk and that entering from the Mall Road near university ofAnimal and Veterinary Sciences. The local residents can use the streets/sideroads for their movement during the construction/stringing operation. Plan 2envisages to disallow entry of the traffic from Bund Road towards the Outfallroad and also that entering from the Mall Road near university of Animal andVeterinary Sciences. Plan 1 is recommended because it provides bettertraffic control and causes lesser disturbance for the routine life activities.7.7 CONTRACT DOCUMENT CLAUSES FOR MITIGATION MEASURESContract documents must incorporate the relevant Project works and requiredmitigation measures. The main clauses to be incorporated in the documentare suggested as follows:* The contractor shall carryout the ground clearing operation for removal ofvegetation by manual or mechanical methods.

CHAPTERa0ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIALMANAGEMENT COST

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 {Environmental andfociaLManagement Cost8. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT COSTS8.1 GENERALThe construction of 1st year component of 6th STG Project will involvepurchase of land and cutting of trees from government and private lands.Additionally, 3 project affected persons (PAPs) are identified who will not bedislocated but their livelihood will be affected for a short period during thestringing of transmission line. The compensatory packages for these socialhazards are discussed in detail as follows.8.2 COMPENSATION OF LAND TO BE ACQUIREDThe 15 private owners of 41.65 kanals of commercial land, to be acquired forMominpura Grid Station, will need to be compensated as per prevailingmarket prices. The prevailing price of the land was determined by consultingthe local people, the area Headman and officials of Land RevenueDepartment. The per kanal price was reported as Rs.8 million. The estimatedcost works out to be Rs.333.4 millions.A piece of land measuring 0.05 kanals will be required for pole siting in theROW of Inayatpura Transmission Line. The land in this area is costly, beingsurrounded by the posh housing societies like DHA, State Life HousingSociety, Formanites Housing Society, etc. The reported price of one kanal ofland in this area is Rs.4 million. The estimated cost of this piece of landcomes to about Rs.0.2 million.8.3 CUTTING OF TREES IN GOVERNMENT LANDThe number of trees and shrubs to be wiped out from the following four gridstations and ROWs of transmission lines, located on the government lands is587. The re-affirmation survey of the sites revealed that only 133 trees willneed to be cut, the rest are of low height or are bushes. No compensation willbe paid for these trees (Table 8.1).Table 8.1Trees and Shrubs to be Cut on Government LandSr. No. of trees No. of TreesNo. Name of Site and Shrubs to be Cut1 Gulberg Grid Station Site 100 502 Saggian/Outfall Road Grid Station Site 203 Barki Transmission Line Route 22 54 lnayatpura Transmission Line Route 369 55Total 511 1108 - 1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Environmentaf anSfocia Management Cost8.5 BUDGETARY PROVISION FOR THE COMPENSATORY TREEPLANTATIONCompensatory tree plantation costs are worked out after detailed discussionswith the provincial Forest Department experts. These costs provide thebreakup of expenditure of new plantation and maintenance of one avenuekilometer, with 330 plants, up till the 5th year. The analysis reveals that abudgetary provision of Rs. 1,400 per plant is required for the compensatoryplantation as detailed in Annexure-13. In total, about 133 trees are to be cut.As per requirement of the provincial EPD, compensatory plantation is required3 times the affected number. Thus, about 400 trees will have to be planted onthis account, involving an approximate cost of Rs. 0.56 million. Forcompensatory plantation, enough space is available in the DHA and State LifeHousing Society; and along the Khaire Distributary.8.6 CASH PAYMENT TO THE OWNERS OF TREESThe cash compensation for trees to the private owners is worked out asRs.1.81 million. The compensation values for fruit trees are based on thefollowing analysis.* Mango Trees- Remaining Useful life = 25 years- Av. yield/tree/year = 85 kgs- Av. price/kg = Rs.20Total value per tree over remaining = Rs. 42,500useful life* Jaman Trees- Useful life = 25 years- Av. yield/tree/year = 50 kgs- Av. price/kg = Rs.25Total value per tree over remaining = Rs. 31,250useful life* Other Fruit Trees- Useful life = 10 years- Av. yield/tree/year = 40 kgs- Av. price/kg = Rs.25Total value per tree over remaining = Rs. 10,000useful lifeSource: The above information is obtained through personal interviews with the fruft garden owners.(The average yield figures as provided by the owners are compatible with the averagemango yield of 75 kgs per tree and 42 kgs for other fruits per tree (Agriculture Statistics ofPakistan 2004-2005, Tables 46 and 58).The non-fruit trees have been valued @ Rs.1500.00 per tree to work out thecash compensation to the private owners. These rates have been finalized

after discussions with the Forest Department personnel for trees of averageage ranging from 6-10 years. The details of cash compensation, on the basisof these rates are given below:8 - 3

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Concfusion.s =ud*conmmndations9. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS9.1 PREAMBLE9.1.1 The present ESA study has been conducted for environmental and socialassessment of the impacts caused due to proposed project intervention ofconstructing 5 new grid stations and laying 17.1 km long transmission line inhighly urbanized city of Lahore and its suburbs. The ESA entails the part ofthe 6th STG Project works in the year 2006-07, selected for World BankFinancing. The relevant laws, rules, regulations and guidelines of theGovernment of Pakistan and the World Bank have been followed whilepreparing the ESA report.9.1.2 There are three specific issues pertaining to the proposed project. Firstly, thepresent electric supply system is extremely inefficient, overloaded, unreliableand fragile which cannot meet the ever increasing demand for electricity.Secondly, there is very limited space available for construction of grid stationsand laying of transmission lines. Thirdly most of the issues and impacts arerelated to construction and operation stages.9.1.3 An endeavour has been made to present only those recommendations whichare practical, economically affordable, technically feasible, environmentallysound and socially acceptable.9.2 CONCLUSIONS9.2.1 Environmental Aspects* The construction stage will face negative impacts in form of dust, smokeand noise on account of employment of vehicles, machinery andequipment. The generation of construction waste, solid waste and oilspills/seepage will have negative impacts of land and air resources.Further, the stringing process will involve traffic congestion at Saggian gridstation site. All such impacts are temporary and are of minor to moderatenature. The mitigation measures have been suggested in the EMMP.* The project operation phase will come across issues such as clearance ofROW, leakage/seepage of transformer oil, generation of noise fromtransformers and waste management. These are reversible impacts andaccordingly mitigation measures have been given in the EMMP.* Major Positive Impactso Significant improvement in reliability and stability of electric supplysystem.o Improvement in voltage profile.o Control of existing load shedding.9 - 1

6TH STG PROJECT LESCO FOR THE YEAR 2006-07 Conchusims andRecomnmendationso There is insignificant environmental damage to local land, water andbiological resources.9.2.2 Socio-economic Aspects* On overall basis. 22 persons will be affected by the Project Activities.* About 42 kanals of land will have to be acquired from the private owners.* Standing fodder crop on about 3 areas of land will be affected temporarilyduring the construction activities.* Privately owned 63 fruit trees and 37 non-fruit trees will need removal.* About 133 non-fruit tress of different species will need cutting from thegovernment lands.* Source of livelihood of 3 squatter encroachments will be affectedtemporarily during the stringing stage of Barki Grid Transmission Line.9.3 RECOMMENDATIONS9.3.1 Environmental AspectsIn view of the above mentioned conclusions of the ESA study the consultantsmake the following recommendations for implementation by the LESCO.* Being a responsible customer oriented corporate body the LESCO shoulddevise the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy, Quality Policyand Social Policy on priority basis.* The LESCO should work towards obtaining quality, environmental andsocial certifications for the international standards. This will improve theirpublic image also.* The LESCO shall be equipped with the required environmental and socialknow-how. This capacity should be strengthened the earliest in order tomeet the environmental challenges of the modern and environmentfriendly electric supply system. Establishment of the LESC is the first andforemost step in this direction.9.3.2 Socio-economic Aspects* The project affectees should be compensated for the loss of their assetsand livelihood according to the provisions of the Resettlement PolicyFramework.* The land should be purchased at negotiated rates between the ownersand the LESCO.* Compensatory plantation should be made in lieu of removed trees.9 - 2

Annexure- 10Page 1 of 24Public ConsultationsThe involvement of local communities in the process of Project designing,construction and operation stages is a pre-requisite of the World Bank vide itsOperational Policy (OP 4.01) on public consultation. Accordingly, publicconsultations were made and scoping sessions were held at the proposed gridstation sites and along the routes of the transmission lines. The objectives ofthese consultations were:i. Share information with stakeholders on proposed power supply improvementworks under 6th STG Project and expected impacts on the socioeconomicsettings in the area of impact.ii. Understand stakeholders concerns regarding various aspects of the Projectincluding existing conditions of the power supply situation,up-gradation requirements of the existing distribution arrangements and likelyimpacts of the improved power distribution arrangements by LESCO on theirliving patterns.The aim of scoping is to ensure that the ESA Study addresses all keyenvironmental issues of importance to the decision makers. It enables the ESAStudy Team to discuss and record views, comments and observations of theproject stakeholders about project opinions, mitigation measures for negativesocial environment impacts and enhancement measures to achieve the positiveimpacts. To achieve these objectives, a number of scoping sessions and publicconsultations were held at the proposed grid stations sites and along the RoW ofthe proposed transmission lines. People were contacted through personal visitsand appraised about the Project. They were requested to attend the meeting toshare their views.

Venue Proposed Grid Station Site, Canal Park, Gulberg-ll, Lahore.iii. Number of Participants 14iv. Detail of ProceedingsThe participants were appraised in detail about the objectives of constructing thegrid station at PHA nursery site. All the participants welcomed the idea andobjectives of the Project and expressed their views / concerns as follows.. The proposed site is full of greenery. It helps in reducing the effects ofharmful gases from the drains effluent. The design of the grid station shouldbe developed in such a way that minimum trees and bushes are cut.. The gases originating from the drains are so poisonous that the metals,particularly iron and cooper are rusted away in just a year. So, special careshould be made by LESCO to save the installation from this menace,otherwise the grid station may cause life security risks to the general public.. To avoid mishaps as a result of kiting, proper safety measures should beprovided at the grid station.* While constructing the boundary wall of the grid station, a proper sized roadshould be provided along the drain to facilitate the movement of the vehiclesfor the garbage collection and clearance of the drain.. The transmission wires should not be a threat to the existing dwellingsaround the proposed grid station site.* The participants were of the view that the construction of a grid station is thedire need of this area as they are constantly facing power trappings andpower shut downs of long intervals, particularly in the summer months. Thisnot only causes mental upset ness for them and their families but also bringa great economic loss as a result of slow business activities. Theconstruction of grid station will help to overcome these problems.* On the right bank of the Gulberg drain, the area of Gulberg-1 is located. Thisarea is situated on the road connecting Jail Road with the Main Market. Bighouses measuring 8-20 Kanals are situated in this area. The consultants forhis views about the proposed grid station contacted one of the residents, Mr.A.Karim s/o Late Haji Abdul Razzaq, a resident of the house just opposite thePHA nursery gate. He was of the view that the presence of a lot number oftrees and plants was a blessing for the residents of the area as these help incombating the ill effects of the bad odor form the drains. He was of the view

Annexure - 10Page 3 of 24that the construction of a grid station in this vicinity was a good idea but thesite of the grid station should be shifted towards the Post Office side, atabout 0.5 km away from the present site, at the right bank of Gulberg Drain.He was of the view that removal of the trees and greenery from the gridstation site will badly affect the already harmful neighboring environmentcaused by the drains.Views of the Nazim, Union Council No. 95Nazim and the concerned councilors of the Union Council No. 95 of LocalGovernment, in which the proposed area fall, extended their full agreement andsupport for the construction of the grid station at PHA nursery site.

Annexure-1 2Page 1 of 7TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (TMP)OVERVIEW* Need for TMPDuring the construction of grid stations and stringing of transmission lines,there is movement of vehicles carrying the materials, equipment andmachinery. This entails the increased traffic density and ensuing disruption ofhuman activities. With a view to continue with the routine life operations it isimperative to regulate the follow of trafficGeneral Consideration for Effective TMPo Half a portion of any existing road shall be kept open to traffic duringthe performance of the rehabilitation work when such a maintenance oftraffic is not possible for any reason temporary unmetalled road will beconstructed.o Necessary care at all times will be taken to ensure the convenienceand safety of residents along and adjacent to the Project site.o For the control of traffic during construction, it will be planned tofurnish, install and maintain traffic signs, delineators, barricades, flares,flashers and flagmen as are necessary.o The process of stringing will cause interruption to the movement of thelocal population across the proposed corridors of the transmission linesfor their daily business and job activities. It will be disturbing for thepeople of the area creating temporary and short-term minor negativeimpact. Proper TMP is required for each site.Construction SignsNormal size 1.2 m x 1.2 m diamond of square shaped of steel sheet withblack letters painted on a yellow background. Letter size shall be minimum12 cm in height. Signs shall be placed at 100 m intervals commencing 500 mfrom the work site. The signs shall be placed approximately 2 m right and1.5 m above the edge of pavement facing oncoming traffic. Typical signwordings to be used are:DETOUR AHEAD, FLAGMEN AHEAD, ONE LANE ROADAHEAD, WORK IN PROGRESS AHEAD, ROAD CLOSEDAHEAD, MEN WORKING, SLOW and STOP.In addition, other warning or regulatory signs shall be developed and located,to facilitate the flow of traffic.* BarricadesSteel sheet cross bars, normally 25 x 2 cm and 1.2 m wide shall be painted in15 cm wide 450 diagonal black and white alternating strips and mounted on 151

Annexure-12Page 2 of 7cm posts. 1.2 m high and fastened to a suitable base platform. If necessaryfor stability, the base shall be weighted with sand bags, stones or othermaterials. Barricades shall be located on the roadway no more than 100 mfrom each end of the restriction.* DelineatorsDelineators shall be reflective red or yellow plastic cones or plastic pipe with aminimum height of 45 cm and mounted on a suitable base. Delineators shallbe spaced at 20 m intervals alongside the traffic side of the restricted workarea.* Warning LightsWarning lights shall be electric flashers with a bi-directional two-lens headassembly. The lenses shall be a minimum 15 cm in dia. The intensity of thewarning lights shall be at least 4 candlepower and the flash rate shall be from50 to 75 flashes per minute. Normally, warning lights shall be placed on allbarricades and the adjacent construction signs. Additional warning lights maybe placed at other locations* FlagmenFlagmen shall be provided with a vest of reflective red material andconstruction type hard hat and have two hand signs at all times. The handsigns shall be of the paddle-type, 30 cm in dia; one painted STOP/GO and theother painted SLOW. Flagmen shall be posted at the beginning and end of therestricted section and at intervals of 500 m within the zone.* Single-Lane Traffic ControlIn all cases where single-lane traffic becomes necessary over a particularlength of the works or over the approaches shall be provided a single lane atleast 3.5 m wide on the roadway or embankment.At places where such single-lane traffic is in operation, the movement of theequipment from one portion of the work to another shall be subject to suchsingle-lane traffic control. Spillage resulting from haulage operations along oracross the roadway shall be removed immediately.* Project Information SignsProject information signs will be erected at all main roads crossing the Projectarea and at the beginning and end of the project area. The size of the Projectinformation signs and the message thereon shall be determined by theEngineer Incharge.* MaterialsMaterials of which road posts, hazard markers, warning tapes, traffic signs,flashing amber lights, signals, barricades, diversion cones, big cones,bollards, detours (Chevron) etc. be approved by the Engineer Incharge.2

Annexure-12Page 3 of 7* Construction RequirementsTraffic signs, signals, barricades, warning tapes road posts and hazardmarkers, cones, bollards etc. shall be so placed as to be easily andopportunely visible to oncoming traffic to ensure drivers to know immediatelywhat instructions they are to follow.* Concept of TMP for the Proposed ProjectThe proposed project is located in the highly urbanized city of Lahore and itssurroundings. However, except the Saggian grid station, all other grid stationsites are detached and are situated away from the mainstream traffic. TMPfor each site has been made in view of the existing topographical features andthe traffic load.2. TMP FOR INAYAT PURA/ STATE LIFE GRID STATION AND ALLIEDTRANSMISSION LINE* Topographical FeaturesInayat Pura Grid Station is located in an isolated area. Villages Kumahan andJathol are situated in NW and SE respectively. Road Kumahan - Dev Kalan islocated on the eastern side at about 100 m distance from the proposed site.Only a few vehicles ply over this road during the day. The plots of State LifeHousing Society across the road on eastern side remain unoccupied. RoadLidhar - Bedian and Khaira Distributary are other features situated in theproject area.* Components of TMPFor the construction of grid station there is no need of designing an elaborateTMP. Sign posting and manning of sentry posts along the road Kumahan -Dev Kalan opposite both ends of the grid station will effectively serve thepurpose of regulating the scant traffic flow.For stringing of the transmission line the junction of road Lidhar - Bedian(Alternative II) and Khaira Distributary - Bedian road (Alternative I) will posesome problem. Components of TMP are as under:o Sign posting and manning of sentry posts on both ends of thejunctions are proposed.o The operation of stringing will be undertaken at night (from 2300 -0400 hours) to avoid traffic congestions in those areas where thereis no possibility of creating disturbance for the local residents.o Population living in the vicinity will be informed through publicrepresentatives, loudspeakers of the mosques and personalcontacts about the duration of the stringing activity.3

Annexure-1 2Page 4 of 73. TMP FOR DHA/BARKI GRID STATION AND ALLIED TRANSMISSIONLINE* Topographical FeaturesThe proposed site of grid station is located in Phase VII of DHA. MainBoulevard and the road Barki - Lahore pass at about 200 m and one kmdistance from the grid station respectively. Khaira Distributary flows at about600 m distance from the grid station and then flows across road Barki -Lahore.* Components TMPo For the construction of grid station sign posting on the MainBoulevard will be enough to permit smooth flow of traffic.o For the stringing of transmission line the junction of KhairaDistributary and the road Barki - Lahore is the bottleneck. Signposting and posting of sentries on both ends of the junction willeffectively serve the purpose of controlling the traffic flow.o Single lane traffic control may be enforced if the traffic load issignificant.4 TMP FOR MOMINPURA GRID STATION AND ITS TRANSMISSION LINE* Topographical FeaturesRoad Wagah - Lahore passes on the southern side at about200 m distance. Villages Handu Gujjar and Chhabeel Adda are located on theeastern side of grid station.* Components of TMPo The project intervention does not cause any traffic issue. RoadWagah - Lahore is being widened now-a-days. The road work isexpected to be completed prior to the commencement of theproject. Sign posting and posting of sentries will be sufficient forcontrolling the traffic flow.o Single lane traffic control may be enforced if the traffic load issignificant.5 TMP FOR GULBERG GRID STATION AND TRANSMISSION LINE* Topographical FeaturesGulberg Grid Station is situated in a restricted site. On one side Shibli Roadpasses and on other two sides, two separate drains join together. The accessroad to this grid station has a minimal traffic flow throughout the day andnight.4

Annexure-1 2Page 5 of 7* Components of TMPSign posting and posting of sentries at both ends of the project site alongShibli road will serve the purpose of regulating the traffic effectively. Also byavoiding the movement of heavy machinery during peak hours will help inmanaging the traffic flow.6 TMP FOR SAGGIAN GRID STATION AND TRANSMISSION LINE* Topographical FeaturesThe proposed site is located on the outfall road near the Taj Company Chowk(roundabout). This roundabout experiences heavy flows of traffic fromSaggian Bridge Road and Bund Road. There are immense business andcivic activities happening along the road during both day and night except fora few hours after the midnight.* Components of TMPIt is proposed to carry out the installation of poles and stringing oftransmission line at night (2300 - 0500 hours). During this period mostly theslow moving heavy traffic plies on the roads and only a few vehicles enter theoutfall road from the Bund Road. Since the stringing process will affect thetraffic moving on the bund road it is recommended that the traffic should notbe allowed on the outfall road from both ends of the road during stringing.Two plans are suggested as under (Exhibit 11):o Plan 1 Incoming traffic from Sheikhupura, Faislabad and Islamabadwill be be diverted from across Saggian Bridge at Al-SaeedChowk, then it moves towards Niazi Chowk and from there toAzadi chowk. From Azadi chowk, the traffic may follow anyroute as required. Similarly the traffic flowing from Data GanjBakhsh Road and Mall Road on the Outfall road should bediverted to any side near the University of Veterinary andAnimal Sciences.o Plan 2 The traffic flowing from Saggian Bridge is allowed to ply onthe main road but not on the outfall road. Also the traffic fromthe Bund Road will be completely stopped to enter theOutfall road.o Preferred PlanPlan 1 is preferred since it provides better traffic control. Liaison isrequired to be made with the traffic police well in advance. At thediversion places traffic police will be posted to regulate the flow.5

Annexure-12Page 6 of 7* Awareness ProgrammeAll possible means will be adopted to educate the people about the TMP.Both electronic and print media will be utilized to disseminate the informationabout the salient features of TMP. Small pamphlets will be prepared fordistribution among the affected localities, nearby institutions, organization oftransporters, rickshaw union, Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry, etc.Languages of English, Urdu and Punjabi will be used for conveying themessage across the target groups.o Electronic MediaA panel consisting of environmentalist, socio-economist, representative ofLESC and an officer from Lahore Traffic Police will run one eachprogramme on three television channels (Pakistan Television, Geo andAaj). Each programme will be of ten minutes duration. For eachprogramme different language will be used. Approximate cost of thisactivity is Rs. 400,000/-.o Radio CoverageRadio is an effective media especially in rural and suburban areas. Radiostations of Lahore, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Multan and Islamabad may beused for dissemination of information. Teams of experts mentioned underelectronic media will be asked to undertake the programmes for radio also.Since this media is economical, duration of each programme may be20 minutes. Expenditure on this coverage is about Rs.100,000/-.o Advertisement in NewspapersAdvertisement regarding salient features of the TMP will be published inthree newspapers (Daily Nation, Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-Waqt).These advertisements will be given commencing four weeks in advancewith an interval of one week between two advertisements. Estimated costis about Rs.200,000/-.o Lectures about details of TMP will be delivered in schools, colleges,mosques and public offices. Its expenditure is about Rs.100,000/-.Total Financial Effects for TMPo Budget for Awareness ProgrammeEstimated budget for the awareness campaign is Rs.800,000/-.LESCO will keep provision of this amount in the project cost.o Cost of Gadgets for Project Information and Traffic ControlApproximate cost of the gadgets used for display of project informationand traffic control is Rs. 200,0006
