Table 6Screening Activity Environment and Social information for screening Project Title: Sewerage Scheme of Anupshahr town Implementing agency: U.P. Jal Nigam Project cost: 82.75 Crores Project a). Sewer System (60 km long) b). Main Pumping Station (2 Nos.) c). Sewerage treatment STPs) Project location (Area/ district): Anupshahr Town Distt. Bulandshar, Uttar Pradesh Screening Criteria Assessment of category (High/low) Explanatory note for categorization Evidence and references 1. Is the project in an eco-sensitive area or adjoining an eco-sensitive area? (Yes/No) If Yes, Which is the area? Elaborate impact accordingly. Yes There is no eco-sensitive zone in and around Anupshahr protected under wildlife protection act 1972. However the Ganga river stretch between Brijghat to Narora Barrage falls under RAMSAR site. Anupshahr is situated on the bank of river Ganga within this stretch. The proposed sewerage project ensures 50% reuse of treated sewage and over a period of time targeted to reuse of 100% of treated sewage. 2. Will the project create significant/limited/no social impacts?
hospitals are completed on priority basis (inshorter time period with alternate provision of traffic, accessibility of exit/entry gates etc.), the impacts may be limited Disruption to traffic movements Limited Sewer construction leads to the temporary tearing up of roads and increase in large construction vehicles, which might impair traffic movement, especially in the narrower roads Damage to existing infrastructure, public utilities, amenities etc. Limited If not appropriately Managed, there may be potential for temporarily affecting the existing public utilities like water supply, telephone, electricity cables etc. Records and layout plans of existing underground utilities and cable networks (like telephone, electricity water etc.) were unavailable. Interaction with palika and other Government officials Failure to restore temporary construction sites Limited Although temporary, concerns regarding failure to restore construction sites including failure to close and appropriately fence off open pits were cited as safety concerns especially for children. Field visits and interaction with Nagar Palika and other Government officials and consultation with local residents.
Government department? (MOEF/ relevant State Government department/ No clearance at all) be required under the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. Does the project involve any prior clearance from the MOEF or State Forest department for either the conversion of forest land or for tree- cutting? (Yes/ No).If yes, which? No As the project is in urban provinces and does not cover any forested area (Protected nor reserved forest area), hence no prior clearance is required from relevant authorities (MoEF and State Forest departments) under the Forest (Conservation) Act,1980.

Method for measurement of Particulate matter, SO2 & NO2 Method for measurement of Particulate Matter (PM10) in ambient air is done by Cyclonic Flow Technique. Particles with aerodynamic diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are collected by a filter. Ambient air at the monitoring location is sucked through a cyclone. Coarse and non-reparable dust is separated from the air stream by centrifugal forces acting on the solid particles and these particles fall through the cyclone's conical hopper and get collected in the sampling cap placed at the bottom. The fine dust (<10 microns) forming the particulate matter (PM10) passes the cyclone and is retained on the filter paper The mass of these particles is determined by the difference in filter weights prior to and after sampling. The concentration of PM10 in the designated size range is calculated by dividing the weight gain of the filter by the volume of air sampled. A tapping is provided on the suction side of the blower to provide suction for sampling air through a set of impingers for containing absorbing solutions for SO2 and NO2. Samples of gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.2 liters per minute. The APM MFC 550 is used for PM2.5. This system is a manual method for sampling fine particles (PM2.5 fraction) and is based on Impactor designs standardized by USEPA for ambient air quality monitoring. PM2.5& PM10 have been estimated by gravimetric method. Improved West and Gaeke method (IS-5182 part-II, 1969) has been adopted for estimation of SO2 and Modified method (IS-5182 part-VI, 1975) has been adopted for the estimation of NO2. Method for measurement of Carbon Monoxide – NDIR method Instrument used: Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide This analyzer is used to measure CO in ambient air, in the of 0-200 ppm (220 mg/m3) to a sensitivity of 0.05 ppm 55µg/m3). The Serinus 30 combines the benefits of Micro process control with Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectrophotometry technology.CO Concentration is automatically corrected for gas temperature and pressure changes.

Temporary Flooding or water logging Alternate traffic rerouting Ensuring storage of excavated soil material on the higher lying areas No NA All the flooded water will be diverted in gravity to the existing nalas. Increased traffic inconvenience Traffic re-routing No No such traffic can be seen in the town. Labour camps (if adopted) Health hazards and nuisance due to absence of facility for sanitation or solid waste management Sanitation No Cost of construction of pit and toilet building approximately Rs. 10,00,000 Cleaning of all pits 1,20,000 Total number of labourers is estimated assuming 35% of total project working for average 20 months (24 months for sewerage and 16 months for STP). The labour camps can be divided into 2 camps, for appropriate management and maintenance work. Each camp will have around 2000 labourers A toilet with septic tank is been suggested for sanitation facility at labour camps. Pit: Assuming single pit of 100cum cover 1000 people.2 pits are needed in 1 camp. Construction of one pit would cost approximately Rs. 1, 50,000/-. So for 2 camps 2 pits each is required. So total cost of pit construction would be Rs. 6,00,000
