little permanent creation will be done and that
will be utilized for post-construction operation
and management | 9.3 | Set a precedent for later developments | Yes | Increase in agriculture production The significant
increase in cropping and irrigation intensities
during project operation phase will lead to the
increase in agricultural production, accompanied
with an increased economic return from
agriculture. The increased income levels will have
a quantitative effect on the quality of demand for
various facilities, eventually improving the
infrastructure sector. The increased income levels
will also lead to demands for better
communication, healt | 9.4 | Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects | No | - | | (III) | Environmental Sensitivity | S.No | Areas | Name/Identity | Aerial distance (within 15km.) Proposed project location boundary | 1 | Areas protected under international conventions, national or local legislation for their ecological, landscape, cultural or other related value | No | There are no sites in the proposed project under
international conventions, national or local
legislation for their ecological, landscape,
cultural or other related value. | 2 | Areas which are important or sensitive for ecological reasons - Wetlands, watercourses or other water bodies, coastal zone, biospheres, mountains, forests | Yes | The project will submerge 730 ha of forest land
and 10 ha of forest will be required for canals in
Sheopur district. | 3 | Areas used by protected, important or sensitive species of flora or fauna for breeding, nesting, foraging, resting, over wintering, migration | No | Identified during the process of detailed investigation | 4 | Inland, coastal, marine or underground waters | No | There is no coastal or marine water body.
Underground water table in the area specified
exists at 15-20 meters depth. There are no
natural lakes, springs or any other water bodies | 5 | State, National boundaries | No | No state or national boundary exists within 4.5
km radius of proposed project location
boundary | 6 | Routes or facilities used by the public for access to recreation or other tourist, pilgrim areas | No | Routes or facilities to recreation or other tourist,
pilgrim areas do not fall within 7 km zone of the
proposed project location boundary.
Furthermore, the proposed creation of reservoir
will not obstruct any routes or facilities even
beyond 7 km zone of the proposed project
location boundary | 7 | Defence installations | No | There are no defense installations within 15 km
zone of the proposed project location boundary. | 8 | Densely populated or built-up area | No | There are no densely populated or built up
areas, within 15 km zone of the proposed

town Baroda falls in downstream out of the
specified zone of 15 km. The town of Baroda
has a low population density. | 9 | Areas occupied by sensitive man-made land uses (hospitals, schools, places of worship, community facilities) | No | The township Baroda out of 15 km zone has
hospitals, schools, places of worship,
community facilities but they will not be
affected by the proposed project. Furthermore,
the creation of water body will improve the
prevailing overall ecological and environmental situation, thereby addressing the environmental
sensitivity of the area. | 10 | Areas containing important, high quality or scarce resources.(ground water resources,surface resources,forestry,agriculture,fisheries,tourism,minerals) | No | The groundwater table in the specified zone of
15 km area is at 20-25 meters depth. The
creation of reservoir will address the scarcity of
groundwater through natural recharge. • The
mother surface resource i.e., the land, in the
specified 20 km in downstream, at present is
under-productive: feeble humus content, low
agricultural yield, devoid of major natural
vegetation, rocky outcrops, etc. Creation of
water body will immensely improve the land
quality and its ‘land use capability’ c | 11 | Areas already subjected to pollution or environmental damage.(those where existing legal environmental standards are exceeded) | No | The specified area of 15 km of proposed project
location boundary does not have any polluted or
environmentally damaged patch. Due to lack of
water resources there is no major industry in
the area, which is considered a ‘backward’ area.
So no existing legal environmental standards
are exceeded. | 12 | Areas susceptible to natural hazard which could cause the project to present environmental problems (earthquakes, subsidence, landslides, erosion, flooding or extreme or adverse climatic conditions) similar effects | No | The area falls in the ‘Seismic Zone II’
considered as one of the safest seismic zones.
Furthermore, the site-specific seismic
investigations will be conducted and appropriate
seismic safety measure will be incorporated in
the project design, after the seismic
investigation and specific requirement.
Secondly, in terms of water storage and depth
of column, It is a MultiPurpose medium project.
Thirdly, the Dam is to be built on expose rocks,
good for the foundation. | | (IV) | Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies | | Additional Attachments, if any |
