Chinnakkada Underpass
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project (KSUDP) covers the five Municipal
Corporations of the State namely Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kochi, Thrissur and
Kozhikode. The project aims to improve and expand the urban infrastructure and
services in these cities. The rehabilitation, improvement and expansion of the following
municipal services are taken up under the project: Water supply, Sewerage and
sanitation, Drainage, Municipal solid waste management, Urban roads.
An IEE is initial examination of potential environmental impacts of the proposed activities
of a project. The IEE identifies any potential environmental impacts under different
stages of the sub-project implementation and includes environmental management and
monitoring plans for the various components. It also describes the appropriate
institutional framework to ensure proper implementation of the environmental
safeguards.
The sub-project "Underpass at Chinnakkada in Kollam Municipal Corporation (KMC)
includes construction of an underpass to the existing Railway Over Bridge at
Chinnakkada. The project was conceived to alleviate the traffic congestion at
Chinnakkada and to facilitate easy movement of the traffic.
Though the sub-project aims to improve the free flow of traffic which is beneficial to the
public, certain activities involved during various phases of the project may have potential
to cause certain negative environmental impacts. These impacts may arise during
implementation and operation phase and may also arise after end of operation period.
The initial environmental examination (IEE) is conducted for the sub-project to identify
these negative impacts of the sub-project based on the scale and magnitude of activities
coupled with the environmental setting of the project location and to develop appropriate
environmental management plan (EMP) to be incorporated in the design and
implementation to ensure that the sub-project is unlikely to cause any negative impacts.
The Sub-project was appraised by the funding agency ADB during PPTA (Project
Preparatory Technical Assistance) and had judged to have some adverse environmental
impacts but of lesser degree and/or significance and has categorized as B. An initial
environmental examination (lEE) is required to determine whether significant
environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the lEE is
regarded as the final environmental assessment report. A subproject is categorized as
Category B Sensitive if that sub-project has environmentally sensitive components
Category - A projects are those having significant environmental impact and that
requires a full -fledged Environmental Impact Assessment Study. Category C are those
projects unlikely to cause any environmental impacts.
The sub-project location is at Kollam and the site is Chinnakkada junction. The
underpass is at chainage 0+165m from the fuel station near Chinnakkada traffic island.
Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project | PIU Kollam
Chinnakkada Underpass
The proposed underpass consists of a two lane vehicular underpass to the Railway Over
Bridge approach road at Chinnakkada. The approach road to the underpass and post the
underpass in chainage 0+270m will be built new and approach road of ROB will be
rebuilt with pre-cast Reinforced Earth Panel side walls as it has to be dismantled for the
construction
Initially the height of the underpass opening was 5 m and now as per the direction of
regulatory authorities the height had to be increased to 5.5 m which is a slight change in
the original scope of the work and as per ADBs policy requirement when a sub-projects
scope of work changes an IEE is to be carried out or to be revised to assess the
environmental implications if any of the project due to the change in scope of the work.
Environmental settings of the sub-project area in terms of ambient air, noise, vegetation
etc were established, analyzed and screened. The screening for environmental impacts
is done in all the four phases of the project; viz. planning, design, construction, operation
and maintenance.
There are chances of noise, dust and emission of hazardous materials during
construction activities. The operation of generators, mixing plants, earth movers as well
as the construction activities may cause dust and noise pollution. It will be ensured that
the plant and equipments employed in the construction will comply fully with
environmental standards. Regular wetting of stock piles of sand and jelly will be ensured
to reduce dust emission. Dust curtain will be provided to the construction site. No
emission of any hazardous materials anticipated.
The main purpose of KSUDP is to improve urban environmental conditions. As such,
there are many environmental benefits to the proposed subproject. However potential
short and long term adverse environmental impacts are anticipated. It takes the
subproject components with identified environmental consequences and considers them
in the context of the receiving environment.
Mitigation measures are proposed with recommended monitoring actions to be
conducted during implementation to minimize any adverse environmental impacts. The
mitigation measures will form the basis for an environmental monitoring plan during the
implementation stages of KSUDP projects.
Based on the forecasting of the environment impacts due to the subproject an
environment Management Plan is prepared for various components of the project. More
over responsibility of implementing the mitigation measures were fixed and agencies
responsible for carrying out the measures were identified.
Chinnakkada Underpass
Major environmental issues identified are the air pollution and enhanced noise level
during the construction and operational phases of the subproject. An Environmental
Monitoring Plan is prepared for the subproject. The monitoring plan presents the
recommended environmental monitoring activities
The executing agency for KSUDP subprojects is the Local Self Government Department
(LSGD) and has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) for this purpose. The
project implementation Unit of KSUDP established in Kollam Municipal Corporation is in
charge of executing the project and monitors the implementation of Environment
Management Plan.
No significant/potential adverse impacts are anticipated on the environment due to the
proposed project and there are no ecological sensitive issues of concern at the site.
There is no biosphere reserve, National Park, Wild life, Bird sanctuary, Tiger or elephant
reserve, mangrove areas, habitat of important migratory birds/animals,
reserve/protected areas, zoological/botanical gardens within 10 km radius of the
proposed site.
It is concluded that the sub-project will have a temporary impact on the environment
during the construction phase but with the implementation of Environment Management
Plan the potential impacts can be negotiated to a very great extent. The IEE was carried
out to assess whether the change in scope of the work ie., due to increase in height of
the underpass opening there would be any cumulative effect on the potential impact but
it is ruled out as the minor change in height will no way affect or increase the quantum of
impact when considering the sub-project as a whole.

2. Need for the subprojec
subproject
Being the prime location of the city, during peak hours the traffic at Chinnakkada
Junction gets terribly congested due to the crossing of the beach road and other access
roads to commercial centers of the area from the NH-66(NH-47 renamed) at
Chinnakkada junction. Road blocks are frequent on this stretch which made the project

authorities to think upon an alternative provision to manage the heavy traffic at this busy
intersection. An underpass in two lanes to the approach road of the Railway Over Bridge
at Chinnakkada will create a new carriage way that joins the beach road ahead away
from the present intersection at Chinnakkada. It will also facilitate free flow of traffic on
the National Highway 66.
3. Level
Level of Environmental Examination
Though the sub-project aims to improve the free flow of traffic which is beneficial to the
public, certain activities involved during various phases of the project may have potential
to cause certain negative environmental impacts. These impacts may arise during
implementation and operation phase and may also arise after end of operation period.
The initial environmental examination (IEE) is conducted for the sub-project to identify

coupled with the environmental setting of the project location and to develop appropriate
environmental management plan (EMP) to be incorporated in the design and
implementation to ensure that the sub-project is unlikely to cause any negative impacts.
The project was appraised during the PPTA (Project Preparatory Technical Assistance)
stage and the work was awarded in November 2008 but due to the delay in handing over
the land required for the work from Indian railways the works could start only in May
2014 after negotiating all the hurdles of the project.
Initially the height of the underpass opening was 5 m and now as per the direction of
regulatory authorities the height had to be increased to 5.5 m which is a slight change in
the original scope of the work and as per ADBs policy requirement when a sub-projects
scope of work changes an IEE is to be carried out or to be revised to assess the
environmental implications if any of the project due to the change in scope of the work.
The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Road projects in the ADB
website was used to screen the subproject for environmental impacts and to determine
the scope of the IEE investigation.
The IEE is prepared based on primary data, secondary sources of information and field
reconnaissance surveys.

35' East Longitude. Ashtamudi Lake, the second largest wetland of Kerala
recognized under Ramsar International Treaty for Wetland Protection, abuts the
Northern boundary of the City. Kollam is about 72km north of Thiruvananthapuram
and about 152km south of Kochi. It has a good road network, which has links to all
major towns and cities in Kerala as well as to other Indian States. The city has an
almost smooth topography and the altitude varies from 0 to 10m above Mean Sea
Level (MSL). The gradually sloping terrain towards west favours natural drainage.
7.2 Climate
Kollam region has hot humid climate and relative humidity varies from 63 percent in
January to 87 percent in June and July. The annual variation of temperature ranges
between 22C and 33C. The region experiences four typical seasons, namely the
dry weather season from December to February, hot weather season from March to
May, southwest & northeast monsoon, and wet season prevailing from June to
November. The wet season is associated with the months in which southwest and
northeast monsoons occur. This season is spread over a period of six months from
June to November. The average annual rainfall is 2779mm
7.3 Land Use
The land use data of Kollam Municipal Corporation for 2000 is presented in table 2.
Total area of Kollam Municipality was 18.5 sq. km in 2000 and with the merging up
of nearby Panchayats to constitute Kollam Municipal Corporation; the area has
increased to 57.31 sq. km. The land use of the newly added areas is mainly
agricultural and residential with low density settlements in fringe areas. Major use of
urban land is under residential use, which includes not only the area occupied by the
houses, but also the small coconut gardens around the house as well.

Board and data generated as part of periodic environmental monitoring of KSUDP sub
projects are presented below. The nearest monitoring station of Kerala State Pollution
Control Board is at Kadappakkada which is only 2.5 km away when aerial distance is
counted and the situation at the monitoring station and that at the underpass is more or
less similar, the data available that of the Kadappakkada station can be considered to
establish the baseline air quality of the sub-project site.

It can be seen that the suspended particulate matter at the project site is higher than the
standard which could be due to the high traffic density of the area and also the dust
emanating from the nearby warehouse of the railways nearby the monitoring site.

(Gumboots, gloves, masks etc.) are to be ensured. Impart training to workers on the
potential dangers and health effects at construction sites particularly due to exposure of
workers to contaminated site will be given. Moreover need for the use of protective
gears by the workers and staff at the site will be made essential in the contract
document.
9.13
All required work safety measures are to be taken during the course of work. Being a
project involving various types of civil and mechanical works, excavation etc, and the
safety of workers is very important. The workers are to be provided with all safety
gadgets such as boots, goggles, glows, caps, colourd jackets, masks, etc. and ensure
use of all these personal protective equipments when engaged in works.
The working environment should be properly managed. During excavation activities
adequate barricading has to be provided to avoid mishaps. This may include providing
obstruction barriers establishing notice boards etc. Safety of workers should be the prime
motto for the successful completion of the subproject. All personal safety gadgets have
to be provided according to the condition of the site and considering the type of work
being done.
To have an effective Personal Protective Equipment Program, supervisors must be
convinced of the hazards particularly during road works and must be held accountable
for their employees' use of personal protective equipment. In this connection it is
essential to have a safety orientation for the benefit of new employees. By the safety
program it is essential to motivate employees to continue to use protective equipment.
30
Chinnakkada Underpass
The correct personal protective equipment with a good training program can provide
workers with a large measure of safety when other controls are inadequate or not
feasible. Personal protective equipment can be effective only when it is selected based
on the specific hazards (sample assessment at the end of this policy) in the workplace,
when employees are trained in its use and the equipment is properly tested, maintained
and worn.
In the work-site the contractor has to provide and maintain safe systems of work which
include provisions for adequate and appropriate first-aid box, first-aid room and first-aid
equipment.
During operation stage of the approach roads, it is to be ensured that all required and
necessary traffic signals are in place. It is advisable to provide hand rails on entire length
of the approach road.
The contractor is responsible for the preparation and implementation of a health safety
plan and to ensure that all the requirements are included in the works.
9.14
The success of any projects depends on the proper traffic management and safety
measures. This is particularly in the case of Kerala because most of the roads are very
narrow. Special attention has to be taken for traffic management at the work site with the
help of traffic police. It is advisable to prepare a time schedule for bringing in
construction material and arranging the work. Whenever there is diversion of traffic
proper and clear sign boards are to be placed in order to avoid or minimize unnecessary
hardships to the general public. The traffic management plan during construction stage
is to be finalised in consultation with the Public Works department authorities, police
department authorities and the Kollam Municipal Corporation. The traffic management
plan is to be prepared adequately in advance and wide publicity has to be made through
local news papers and other media. This is to ensure that the hardships to the public due
to traffic diversion are minimized as far as possible. In order to ensure safety of workers
as well as public proper barricades are to be provided.
