The variety of species used ensures that species not suited to the local conditions and micro climate will be replaced by those suitable for that area. Only. the fittest species will survive in each locality thereby maintaining the genetic variation that is essential for bio-diversity. Figure I Shows a typical cross section for the planting regime with the larger avenue trees located no closer than 6 metre from the centre line of the road and the seeded species growing in between. The native seed mix will be applied following the application of water to the recently turned and topsoiled natural surface. Seeding will not take place in unfavourable weather such as winds exceeding 15 kmn/hr or during rain periods. Fast growing ground covering species mentioned in the grass table will be seeded immediately after the area has been landscaped to reduce erosion, with the seeding and avenue planting occurring closer to the rainy season. Figure 2 illustrates a longitudinal section of road with the associated planting regime. Avenue seedlings will be placed at 25 m intervals with the listed species being placed in turn. Approximately 2000 seedlings per hectare are intended to be planted. The native trees will be seeded indiscriminately within the ROW and at bends etc. Where larger areas of the ROW occur the seeding will fill these areas to create small groves of native bush land. Where ROW is available , an additional row of seedlings will be placed. This will be to ensure a thick ROW vegetation along the road. This will act as wind block and will in turn act to increase crop production through the reduction of evapo-transpiration. The seedlings may be grown in nurseries near or along the project road by the contractor. These nurseries may be situated within the road ROW or in nearby land under contractual arrangement with local social forestry programs. The seedlings will be placed in holes (lCu.m) the base of which will be filled with 0.2 m of top soil and organic fertiliser (eg. manure). An area around the base of the seedlings will be dug out in the most recent method of seedling protection used in India (see Figure 3) . This method provides a moat like barrier around the plant which makes the leaves of the tree out of reach from browsing herbivorous. Furthermore the moat retains water to aid the plants survival. The seedlings will be between 12 -18 irmnths old when they are planted to increase their chances of survival. Another method of protecting the seedlings will be tried also. The thom bush Prosopisjuliforia is cut into 1.2 -1.4 m lengths and the stock is buried in the \hole dug around the seedling and bound with a length of the vegetation. The thom bush is between 15- 30mm. in diameter and speared in to the ground at 20 cm spacings. Three months after the seedlings are planted, those not surviving will be replaced with others still growing at a nearby nursery and of a similar age. About 10 % of the total seedlings used should be stored for this replacement. Areas where the seeding has not been sufficient will also be re-seeded following the application of an organic fertiliser. A similar process will occur one year after the initial planting. During the first year after .planting, watering will occur every month except in the wet season. In the hottest season(February to mid June) this will occur more frequently. From I" February to 15'h April watering will occur every three weeks and from then until 15'h June every 10 days. Watering will be done as early in the morning and as late in the evening as possible to reduce evaporation and increase the amount of water reaching the roots. The contractor will be paid half his fee following the initial planting and the rest one year later contingent on previously established survival criteria. All revegetation shall take place within 14 days of each work completion. Top soil shall be stockpiled on site in low mounds no greater than 3 metres high and where it is to be stored for in excess of 14 days it shall be seeded with the above mentioned grasses immediately. Where Al__  Haryana Highway Upgrading Project Appendix 3 imported topsoil is required it will be friable and porous and free of weeds, toxic material, lumps, stumps or roots. Fertiliser where required will be organic in nature such as cow manure. On steeper slopes a binding agent will be used to reduce erosion and keep seeds in place at the onset of the rains. Bitumen emulsions has been used before in India and will be used here. Straw will be mixed with the bitumen emulsion to further aid the binding process. Other measures to mitigate against environmental impacts that are standard in contract docunents will naturally be included. These include provisions covenng soil erosion and selection and restoration of quarry sites.

In most cases a monitoring program consists of the identification and selection of key environmental indicators or parameters which may be qualitatively measured and compared over time. These can be any environmental indicators viz. physical, chemical or social indicators. A general monitoring tool is useful and there is advantage in adopting a uniform monitoring proforma. It is frequently based on recorded project details combined with recording of expected project actions or outcomes. For these reasons the following Checklist/ Questionnaire purposely has been kept simple and generalised. It should, however, be reviewed and improved in the light of experience. Objectives of Monitoring and Evaluation 1. To demonstrate that unfavourable effects have been addressed and adverse consequences minimised. 2. To monitor and promote favourable impacts which enhance environmental quality. 3. To record conditions, actions and project impact, enabling adoption of better mitigation methods and documenting legal or community obligations 4. To evaluate the adequacy of Environmental Impact Assessment already carried out, and to suggest improvement. Methodology The methodology adopted is basically a subjective rapid appraisal based on visual observation with quantification of some key parameters. This requires a basic knowledge and some understanding of environmental impacts. Only a limited number of key impact areas have been adopted in order to frame a simple and general questionnaire and to encourage its completion by site supervisors. Sources of information are largely visual observations and basic project details and it allows the collection of base line data. The collation of this information fed into an Environmental unit provides the basic data on which further selective analysis and investigation may be undertaken. Strict specification of sampling numbers and numerous tests should be avoided. Supplementary tests can always be arranged by the Environmental Unit if so required. This avoids the cost of unnecessary tests, the results of which are often seen as an end in themselves, and it simplifies the process. This approach of selective investigation and questioning should provide a practical and achievable development of environmental awareness. There are already numerous returns and reports required from construction activity and protection of the environment should not be seen as an unnecessary additional burden on limited time resources. It should, however, become a regular procedure and part of routine contract management.

Two more are to be held in Ambala and Jind. These three places are chosen as they are ideally located at three road segments included in the Phase I of the project. The meeting at Bhiwani was well attended by all the concemed Govt. Department Representatives and the affected villagers. No NGO could be located as there is hardly any in existence in and around Bhiwani. Mr. 0. P. Leather, Superintending Engineer, PWD, presided over the meeting. Copies of an PWD Executive Summary of the SEA draft report were distributed to the participants. In his inaugural remarks the SE, PWD outlined the objective of the proposed project along with its utility and benefits to the people of the area in general. The discussions generally centred around flood control and compensatory tree planting. The representative of Forest Dept. Haryana apprised the participants that a large number of trees are likely to be axed. However, the Forest Dept. has already counted the number of trees and as per current rules ten times the number of trees to be felled, should be replanted. The land and funds for the replanting should be provided by PWD, Govt. of Haryana. The villagers suggested that fruit trees may be planted so that village children can make the best use of the same. However, there was some reservation on the part of the Forest Department who felt that as a matter of policy fruit trees are avoided by the roadside due to increased accident factor. Instead they reiterated the state Govt. policy of stressing the need of planting fuel, fodder and timber producing trees. The Forest Dept. representative claimed that this-policy is socially relevant and required in order to safeguard the depleted forest resources. The next point came up on flooding along both sides of the road. This is a flood prone area and naturally the villagers expressed their concern. The PWD officers explained that they are aware of the occurrence of flood during monsoon months and therefore suitable drainage measures have been provided in the project. Moreover adequate crust thickness would also be provided in the specification for tenders. Participating in the discussion Shri. Prabhu Dayal, Sarpanch (Headman) of Leghan village mentioned about 100 (hundred) acres of land now being occupied by Kikar trees. He faVoured that the same land may be used for planting some other variety of species which can be of some use to the villagers. The Forest Dept. has assured that they will consider the proposal. A list of participants along with photographs of the meeting is enclosed. Af I  Haryana Highway Upgrading Project Appendix 6 AMBALA - MONDAY 29.09.1997 The public consultation on environment in Ambala was held on Monday 29.09.1997 at the PWD Rest House in Ambala. The Number of participants were more than 40 comprising Govt. Officials of Forest, Revenue and Irrigation Departments plus Project Affected Persons (PAPs). No NGO's participated as none could be located. Ambala was selected as it is located in the northern part of the State and as it is an important urban road junction point. Mr. K. K. Singhal, Superintending Engineer, Ambala presided over the meeting. The PWD's Executive Summary of the SEA draft report was distributed to the participants. Mr. Singhal broadly outlined the salient features of the project including the likely benefits which will accrue to the people in general and villages on both sides of the road in particular. Villagers complained about the problem of water-logging at Kalpi - Joli junction on the Ambala - Jagadhri Road. Similarly Khudda - Kala village gets flooded during rainy season. Responding to the complaints Mr. Singhal assured the villagers that the proposed upgrading project has taken into considerations the drainage pmblems of the flood prone areas. Mr. Nityaprakash, village Sarpanch (Head Man) of Mithapur stressed the need for widening of some of the culverts. The present culverts being rather small would be inadequate in the event of upgrading the road. Mr. Singhal assured that this issue has been adequately dealt with in the project design. During the meeting it was pointed out by the villagers ihat the PWD Officials are marking 100 feet of land on both sides of road over and above the ROW, as buffer land where no construction of permanent nature would be allowed. The villagers were taken by surprise. However, the chairman calmed them down by pointing out that this is the building line and as per the requirement of law and has been made keeping in view the safety requirement of road users. At the very end of the meeting a large number of people claiming to be PAPs barged in. Participating in the discussion they strongly resented the move of demolition of shops and other establishments being unauthorisedly occupied by them. Shri. Singhal tried to pacify them by saying that no fresh land is going to be acquired and the upgrading work would remain confined within the land under the ownership of PWD. X list of participants along with photograph is enclosed. A6-2  Haryana Highway Upgrading Project Appendix 6 JIND - TUESDAY 30.09.1997 The last of the series of public consultation meetings on the enviromnent of the Haryana Highway Upgrading Project Phase I was held at Jind on Tuesday the 30'h September 1997 at the PWD Rest House. The meeting was well attended with the presence of concerned Govt. Officials from the Dept. of Forest, Revenue, Police and Irrigation along with a large number of villagers. NGO's did not participate as there was hardly any in existence. Mr. T. C. Rewaria, Executive Engineer, Jind presided over the meeting. In his introductory comments Mr. Rewaria apprised the participants about the broad outline of the proposed project and likely benefits to accrue-to the people of the area. He explained that the present conditions of the roads are unable to carry the existing load of traffic and would create even more trouble with the future growth. Hence it has become absolutely essential to upgrade the existing highways. Villagers complained generally about water-logging along link roads and that seemed to be their primary concern. Shri. Gyan Chand, President, Municipal Council Jind complained about flooding of Kaithal - Narwana road which is a part of the proposed upgrading project. Responding to this complaint Shri. Rewaria mentioned that the project report has already considered this point and necessary steps have been incorporated in detailed engineering report. On the point of tree felling due to widening and strengthening, district forest officer mentioned that approximately 15000 (fifteen thousand) trees are going to be affected. As per the guidelines the Forest Department would provide for replanting to the tune of ten times of trees axed due to project implementation. The Forest Department would do the replanting as per the social relevance of the forest policy i. e. fuel, fodder and timber. Copies of the PWD Executive Summary on the project was distributed among the participants.
