II 2.2 2.2.1 2.2.2 POWER SCENARIOS & EXISTING INSTALLATIONS POWER ABSORPTION IN NORTHERN REGION POWER LOAD DEVELOPMENT

The Northern Region comprises the states of Himachal, Haryana, Punjab, Rajashtan, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Uttranchal and Union territories of Delhi and Chandigarh. The Northern Regional Power Grid comprises the power system controlled by the Electricity Boards of above states/Union territories and Bhakhra Beas Management Board. The Power system in this region is now operating in an inter-connected and co-ordinated manner. Even in co-ordinated operation of existing hydro, nuclear and thermal power stations, including benefits from the ongoing projects and as well from the new schemes cleared by CEA, the Northern region is expected to face severe power deficits in the 10th Five Year Plan. The CEA schemes for preparation of PFR under 50,000 MW Hydroelectric Initiative schemes launched by the Hobble Prime Minister of India are as under:Sr.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Name of scheme Gharopa (114 MW) Gondhala (144 MW) Bardang (114 MW) Chhatru (108 MW) Khoksar (90 MW) Chamba (126 MW) Jangi-Thopan (480 MW) Luhri (465 MW) Tidong-I (90 MW) Tidong-II (90 MW) Yangthang Khab (261 MW) Thopan Powari (402 MW) Bajoli-Holi (180 MW) River/Basin Beas Chenab -do-do-doRavi Satluj -do-do-do-do-doRavi

II 2.3 NECESSITY OF THE PROJECT AND RELATED ASPECTS

From the growth of peak demand and anticipated installed generation capacity on the basis of schemes proposed for benefits under construction/consideration during 10th and early 11th Five Year Plan period, it is observed that power supply position in the Northern region would become all the more acute from the start of 10th Five Year Plan and power region shortages would have to be faced unless additional schemes are taken up immediately and implemented to derive timely benefits. The most important source of power development in the Northern region is its abundant hydro resources located in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttranchal and Jammu & Kashmir. Priority would have to be given to the development of these untapped resources because of the following distinguishing features of the hydro stations. i) ii) iii) iv) They estimate the most economic source of power development. They provide the cheapest source of peaking capacity. They enable improvement in the utilization of thermal/nuclear power stations in the region. They provide much needed operation & flexibility to the system.

Thus, there is an urgent need of rapid hydro potential exploitation for providing additional generation capacity in the Northern region. Among the various sites, available for hydro development, Bajoli Holi Hydro-electric Project is considered very attractive from point of view of deriving benefits during 11th Five Year Plan. The diversion site is located on Chamba-Holi road and 7 Km from village Naya Gaon. Power house site is to be connected by providing RCC bridge on river Ravi near village Barola. The existing communication facilities will be of considerable utility in cutting down the pre-construction time and costs.

4.1

INTRODUCTION The Central Electricity Authority (CEA), with a view to fill the gap between supply and demand in the field of power have embarked on an exercise to assess the balance hydroelectric potential in the country and rank the schemes thus identified in various parts of the country in different river basins. As a part of this exercise, 162 schemes with probable installed capacity of 50,600 MW and located in various river basins spread over 16 states have to be taken up for preparation of Pre Feasibility Reports (PFRs) in the first phase. The schemes found feasible are proposed to be taken up for further development in X and XI Five Year Plans. The proposed Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project is one such scheme identified in Ravi Basin in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh State. Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project is a run of the river scheme that envisages the construction of a 30 m high diversion barrage across the river Ravi, 200 m downstream of its confluence with Channi nallah (32o1653N:76o4045E; 52 D/11), about 14.6 km long water conductor system and an underground power house on the right bank of Ravi, near village Barola (32o2031N:76o3237E; 52 D/11). proposed power house would have installed capacity of 180 MW. The

IV 4.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The area around the proposed projects is located in Lesser Himalaya in Ravi Basin and is characterised by sharp crested ridges and deeply dissected valleys. The main drainage in the area is provided by the river Ravi which originates in Bara Bhangal area. The river initial reaches up to Khada Mukh between Tipri Chamba and Raj Nagar Khas flows along the regional strike of rocks and cuts across the strike between Khada Mukh and Tipri. The influence of lithology and structure is clearly evident an drainage by its semidenritic and rectangular pattern Geologically the region exposes rocks ranging in age from early Proterozoic to Mesozoic. The rocks of the area are extensively covered by slope debris, fluvial terraces and fan the deposits of Quaternary recent origin. The statigraphic succession in the area is given by the officers of GSI and Malviya et al (1991) is given below: Age Triassic Upper Permian Group --Formation Khalel Salooni Lithology Limestone with calcareous shale and ferruginous clay Calcareous sandstone arenaceous shaly limestone, slate. Lower Permian Late Proterozoic -Vaikrita Panjal Traps Katari Gali Green massive amygdaloidal basic lava flows Dark grey slate micaceous sandstone, quartzite, calcareous siltstone limestone Manjir Chamba Dimictite shale slate sandstone, limestone Slate, phyllite, carbonaceous slate subordinate quartzite

IV -

In the area around the proposed projects, the rocks belonging to Varikrita Group are exposed in the valley of Ravi river. The rock belonging to Chamba Formation of Vaikrita Group include an assemblage of slates phyllite, carbonaceous slate and subordinate quartzites. The rocks of Chamba Formation are succeeded by an assemblage comprising pebbly slate/dimictite, phyllite, shale, sandstone and limestone belonging to Manjir Formation. The rocks of Manjir Formation are in turn succeeded by the rocks belonging to Katari Gali Formation which include an interbedded sequence of the slate, quartzite with limestone and magnesite. The bands of limestone, calcareous shale and ferruginous chart belonging to Khalel Formation of Triassic age have been reported to be occurring in east and north of the arc of proposed projects. 4.3 STRUCTURE AND TECTONICS Tectonically, the Chamba area is located in Main Himalayan Tectonic Belt bounded by Indus Suture Zone(ISZ) in north and MBF-I in south (Kumareta 1989). This belt exposes the lithostratigraphic units ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary. The most important tectonic plane in this belt is Main Centre Thrust. However, its position between the rivers Beas and Chenab is not well defined. The other important tectonic feature in this belt is Vaikrita Thrust(VT). In addition to these tectonic planes following the Himalays trend, a number of transverse fault dissect the rocks in the area, the prominent ones being Sundernary Fault, Kishtwar Fault, Ravi Tear and a few other transverse lineaments which have been picked up with the help of satellite imageries. The tectonic zone south of Main Himalayan Belt is the Frontal Fold Belt demarcated by HFB-I in the north and Foot Hill Thrust in south. The structure elements recorded in the area are both primary and secondary. The primary structures include bedding and current bedding. The secondary structures include cleavage and foliation, joints, folds, faults and lineation developed during metamorphic and tectonic phases. The bedding is marked by colour bands and contacts between arenaceous and argillaceous beds. The strike of bedding of the rock formations

IV -

generally various from N200W-S200E to N80O W S80O E with moderate to low dips towards NE or SW. There are two sets of cleavages recorded in the rocks i.e. slaty cleavage fracture cleavage. The trend of these varies between NNE-SSW and WNW ESE. The slaty cleavage showing NW-SW Himalayan trend in the metasedimentary rocks of the area represents axial plane cleavage of folds F1 (Datta & Singh, 1973). In general it is parallel to the bedding of the formations. The pebbles of Manjir Formation are deformed and their shape indicates these have been flattened on cleavage plane. The fracture cleavage is parallel F2 folds that have folded bedding and slaty cleavage. The rocks of the area are jointed and many of the joint sets are common to all the rocks formations. Prominent joint sets trend NW-SE, NE-SW and E-W and have moderate to steep dips in general 4.4 SEISMOTECTONIC AND SEISMICITY From seismotectonic point of view, the area under reference is located on the western fringe of Kangra Seismic Block (Narula,1991) which is bound by Ravi Tear in west and Sundernagar fault in east. The litho tectonic packets of the Himalayan Orogenic Belt are poorly metamorphosed lithol-units of the Tethyan sequence , high and low grade assemblages of the Central crystalline and other crystallines and Lesser Himalayan belt respectively along with granitoids and basic volcanics (Narula et al., 2000). The southern fringe of the Himalayan belt is occupied by cover rocks of the Frontal Belt. Further south, the Quaternary cover is represented by alluvial fill Sargoda Ridge. Within the Himalayan belt, the northernmost conspicuous structural element is the Main Central Thrust (MCT). From Manali towards east throughout the entire Himalaya almost up to the eastern syntaxis this is considered as one of the most important tectonic surfaces. However, NW of Manali, it is not clearly discernible. Further south, within the lesser Himalayan package, the other important tectonic along the foredeep and peri-cratonic fills on attenuated continental crust on northern and southern sides, respectively of Delhi-

IV -

surface is Vaikrita Thrust (VT). This Lesser Himalayan Belt is separated from the Frontal belt by the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT). The southern limit of the Frontal Belt is marked by the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). Within MBT and MFT, the belt is traversed by several subsidiary thrusts viz Jawalamukhi Thrust and Drang Thrust. Evidences of neotectonic activity have been documented at several places along MBT and in western parts of Jawalamukhi Thrust. The Frontal Belt package is affected by several regional scale folds, of which Mastgarh and Paror anticlines are prominent. In addition to the structural discontinuities sub parallel to Himalayan trend, there are a number of faults lineaments transverse to this fold-thrust belt. The Sundarnagar Fault (also known as Manali Fault) is a dextral transverse structures which extends from Higher Himalayas to Frontal Belt. The Ropar Tear is considered to be continuation of the Sunder Nagar fault. A total of 99 seismic events of magnitude > 4.0 have been recorded in the area. Out of these 20 events have magnitude >5.0 and are mostly confined to depths less than 40Km. Event having magnitude between 4.0 and 5.0 are prevalent in the area. Seismic activity in mainly concentrated along the Himalayan Belt particularly around Chamba. This sector with maximum clustering of seismic events represent part of Kangra Seismic Zone that continues towards N. Out of 20 events of magnitude >5 about 18 events define this zone. In this part of the Himalaya, 4 events having magnitude > 6 have been recorded. Out of these, 3 events lie on MBT, which include the famous Kangra Earthquake of 1905. Six earthquakes in this area have caused considerable damage. The earliest is the Kangra Earthquake of 4th April, 1905 having Ms = 8.0, Chamba Earthquake of 22nd June 1945 also caused considerable damage to the property. Dharamshala Earthquake of 14th June, 1978, Dharamshala of Earthquake 26th April, 1986 and Chamba Earthquake of 24th March 1995 are other major earthquakes that caused considerable damage in the area. Keeping in view the seismotectonic set up and seismic status of the area, it has been kept in Zone-V as per. Map of India

IV -

showing Seismic zones (IS: 1893 (Part-I)-2002). Therefore, it is recommended that suitable seismic coefficient be determined for site and incorporated in the design of appurtenant structure of the projects. 4.5 GEOTECHNICAL APPRAISAL The geological map of the area indicates that almost all the appurtenant structures of the proposed Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project are likely to be located on the rocks belonging to Katari Gali Formation which could be good foundation as well as excavation media except for reaches where weathering is deep, carbonaceous slates are en countered and rocks are fractured or sheared. The exploration at the site of Kutehr Project located downstream of this scheme indicates that thick overburden can be expected in the riverbed. Therefore it is suggested that the site for dam and type of structure be selected after assessing the depth of overburden in the river bed and on abutments. The 14.6 km long HRT of the proposed Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project is likely to encounter slates, micaceous sandstone, quartzite and limestone belonging to the Katari Gali Formation in the initial reaches and dimictite, shale, sandstone and limestone belonging to Manjir Formation in the final reaches. These rocks are expected to be fair to good tunnelling media in general except in the reaches where slate/phyllite are encountered. The problem may be more acute where these are water charged. Poor rock conditions may also be expected in the reaches where local faults/shears are encountered. It is suggested that adequate rock cover over HRT may be provided, especially in the reaches where it negotiates cross drainages. The perusal of preliminary layout of the scheme indicates that no provision of intermediate construction adit has been kept along this 14.6 km long HRT. It may lead to difficult construction conditions. It is suggested that efforts may be made to provide at least one intermediate construction adit to facilitate construction.

IV -

The powerhouse location exposes dimictite, shale, slate and sandstone belonging to Manjir Formation. It is suggested that the final selection of powerhouse site be made depending on availability of bed rock in the foundation and adequate space to host structure and its appurtenants without disturbing the hill slopes. If such a site is not available on the surface, the structure may be designed as underground one. The area is located in Zone V as per Map of India Showing Seismic Zone [IS 1893(Part I) 2002]. Therefore suitable seismic coefficient be in corporate in design of apppurtenants of the project. This geotechnical appraisal is based on regional geological set up without field visit to the project site. REFERENCES 1. Datta, R.K. and Singh, Surinder (1975).

HYDROLOGY
5.1 LOCATION The Ravi is a major river of the Indus Basin originating in the Himalayas from the Bara Bangahal branch of the Dhaula-Dhar range. Bara-Bangahal branch comprises of snow covered peaks at heights ranging from 3050 m to 5800 m, above mean sea level. Bajoli-Holi Hydro-electric Project is located on the river Ravi, between the longitudes 764045" to 763237" and latitudes 321653" to 322031" in the Chamba Distt. of Himachal Pradesh. 5.2 5.2.1 TOPOGRAPHY AND CATCHMENT TOPOGRAPHY Lying mostly astride the main Himalayas and touching the Shiwaliks on the southern fringe, the Ravi catchment area is rugged and covered with the spurs of the high ranges. The Dhauladhar range separating the basin of the Beas from that of the Ravi, the Pangi or Pir Panjal range dividing the water shed between the river Ravi and river Chenab and Zaskar range bifurcating the basins of the Chenab and the Indus, are the three well defined snowy ranges, constituting the main topographical features of the area. The Dhauladhar range running in North-West direction, forms the boundary between Mandi and Kullu Districts, at the point where it gives off Bara Bangahal branch to join the mid Himalayas. It makes a sudden bend west-ward and for the first time touches Chamba District, on the

southern border. From this point, it continues for about 50 Kms. forming the boundary between Kangra and the Chamba Districts. The Zaskar range is the direct continuation of the main Himalayan axis. It runs in north west direction, divding Ladakh from Lahaul- Spiti and then touches Chamba District, for a short distance along its northern border, separating Chamba and Lahaul-Spiti from Zaskar. The Pir Panjal range known as the Pangi range within the Chamba District after separating Kullu from Lahaul-Spiti, enters Chamba district on the western border of the Bara Bangahal and traverses the district from SouthEast to North-West for more than 100 kms. On the North-Western border, where the Pangi range leaves the territory, it gives off a branch to the South-West called the Daganidhar which forms the boundary between Chamba and Bhadrawah of Jammu and Kashmir. At its western extremity, this branch is connected by a short ridge, in which the Padri and the Chatardhar passes. Topographically, the Dagnidhar and the Chatardhar are different sections of one continuous offshoot, forming with the Pangi Range, the water shed between the (Chenab). Ravi and the Chander-Bhaga

5.2.2

RIVER RAVI AND ITS TRIBUTARIES It originates from Bara-Bangahal at an elevation of 4229 m above mean sea level, approximately 150 Kms North-East of historical Chamba town. The Ravi flows in steep gradient with series of loops & bends. In between, main tributaries like Kalihan, Budhil, Tundah, Suil & Sewa contribute lot of run-off to the Ravi. Bara-Bangahal comprises of snow covered peaks at heights ranging from 3050 mtrs to 5800 mtrs above mean sea level.

The basin represents some remarkable physical features. The river flows in a North-West direction for most of its course, rises in Baira-Balsio and continues through Traila and Chanota to Ulans, where it is joined by two of its major tributaries in the head reaches Viz. Budhil and Tundah. Beyond this, upto Chhatrari, river flows through a narrow gorge where after it opens out. After passing through Churi, Bagga, Mehla, Chamba and Udaipur, the river approaches Rajnagar, then flows in narrow gorge to Sherpur. The Suil river, the largest tributary, joins the Ravi upstream of Chamera Stage-I Dam. The Sewa river flowing from the north joins the Ravi near Khairi. It then bends to the South-West and striking the terminal spurs of the Dhauladhar range, separates Chamba from Jammu and Kashmir and finally leaves the territory of Himachal Pradesh up stream of Ranjit Sagar Dam (Punjab). Budhil nallah has its origin on the slopes of the mid Himalays near Kugti pass. At Harsar, it receives on its left bank the small stream from sacred lake of Mani-Mahesh, situated beneath the peak called the Mani-Mahesh, Kailash at an elevation of 3952 m. It passes Village Bharmour at 15 Kms downstream and soon afterwards meets the Ravi near Village Kharamukh. Tundah nallah rises at Kalichtop pass, flows through Tundah valley and joins the Ravi near Kharamukh. The right bank tributaries are bigger and have more discharge as campared to the left bank tributaries except Kalihan, which originates in Dhauladhar range on the left bank and contributes a good discharge. Both Budhil & Tundah are about 54 Kms long each . 5.2.3 CATCHMENT The catchment area at Bajoli-Holi diversion site measures 760 Sq.Km. out of which 372 Sq.Km is above 4000 m and is snowfed catchment. The

entire catchment comprises of mountaineous terrain with steep hill slopes and is very thinly populated. The Ravi river after its origin from BaraBangahal branch of Dhaula Dhar range, is mainly formed by the combined waters of the three tributaries namely; Kalihan, Budhil & Tundah in the head reaches. The Catchment areas of these three are: 1. 2. 3. Kalihan Nallah Budhil Nallah Tundah Nallah 158.75 Sq.Km 555 Sq.Km 305 Sq. Km.

The river bed slope is comparatively steeper in its upper reaches. The equivalent slope of the Ravi upto Bajoli-Holi diversion site is 47.01 mtrs/Km. 5.3 5.3.1 METEOROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS RAINFALL There are, in all, thirteen non recording type rain gauge stations in the catchment area of the river Ravi. The normal annual rainfall & annual rainfall has been recorded in millimeters at all these stations for the period 1960-2000 by the office of Director, Land Records, Revenue Department (HP). 5.3.2 TEMPERATURE There is no temperature record available at the proposed diversion site while some record is available at Bharmour, which is 15 Kms opposite to proposed diversion site.

The relative humidity is generally high in the monsoon season, being over 90%. In the post monsoon and winter seasons, the humidity is less. The summer is generally the driest part of the year. 5.4 HYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS The Catchment area of the Ravi, above the proposed diversion site is 760 Sq. Kms, and is elongated leaf shaped as shown in drawing No. Bajoli Holi-PR-2. In this reach, a good part of the catchment i.e. about 372 Sq.Km lies above the snow line i.e. 4000 m above M.S.L., which receives moderate to heavy snowfall during winter. The discharge of the Ravi and its major snowfed tributaries dwindles down to lowest during winter months, from December to February and starts increasing from February end due to the melting of snow. The bulk contribution is in form of rainfall in the monsoon months. A few discharge measuring stations namely; Bagga, Durgathi, Banthu, Tiyari, Bajoli and Kutehr were set-up by HPSEB and a good data bank is available for these sites. 5.5 5.5.1 HYDROLOGICAL STUDIES DISCHARGE DATA AND WATER AVAILABILITY The Discharge data of river Ravi at diversion site of Kutehr HEP (series already approved by CWC) shown in Table 5.1 has been used to derive the discharge data at diversion site of Bajoli-Holi HEP shown in Table 5.2. The data w.e.f. June 1972 to May 1997 is the derived data whereas it is actually observed data w.e.f. June 1997 to May 2003. Based upon the daily discharge data, overall flow duration curve has been developed (Plate 5.1). From this curve, it is seen that flow corresponding

to 90% and 50% availability works out to 12.50 cumecs and 29.17 cumecs respectively. The design discharge of 71.74 cumecs is available for 25% of the period. Flow duration curve for lean season (Dec. to Feb.) has also been developed (Plate 5.2) and it is seen that flow corresponding to 90% & 50% availability works out to 10.94 cumecs & 12.50 cumecs respectively. 5.5.2 i) METHOD OF DISCHARGE OBSERVATION GENERAL Discharges of the Ravi at Durgathi, Banthu, Tiyari & Kutehr stream gauging sites are measured by surface float method. Surface floats are made up of well seasoned heavier type wood available locally. Heavier floats are generally preferred so that its greater part would be submerged in water thus reducing influence of the wind. Cableways are installed across the river for the purpose of taking observations. Two wire ropes are stretched across the river section, one at the beginning and other at the end of the selected river reach for conducting observations. The distance between two ropes known as float race, is kept as 30 meters at discharge sites. The ropes are marked at 5 m intervals to divide the river cross-section into different segments. The centre line of the segment defines the path or track of the float. A third rope is stretched 10 m upstream of test reach. A person taking measurements rides in a small jhulla beneath the cable and drops floats in different segments 10m upstream of the float race so that floats acquire uniform velocity by the time they reach float race. Three floats are dropped in each segment and mean of the time taken to traverse the float race is recorded. The time of travel of test reach of only those floats which follow their correct track is, recorded.

ii)

CROSS SECTIONAL AREA OF FLOW The cross-sectional area is divided into segments, each of 5 m width. Cross-section is checked before and after monsoon period and after every major flood in the river.

iii)

MEASUREMENT OF VELOCITY Measurement of Velocity =

Float Race Time taken by float to cover the float race distance. Mean velocity is generally determined by taking average of the velocities measured at depths, 0.2 times and 0.8 times the total depth from the surface. Float measurements represent surface velocity, as such, velocities measured by float are multiplied by 0.89 to determine the mean velocity of flow. Mean velocity of flow = 0.89 x Surface velocity. iv) COMPUTATIONS OF DISCHARGE Mean velocities V1,V2,V3in each segment are obtained after multiplying the surface velocities by 0.89. The velocities are multiplied by area of cross-section of the corresponding segment to obtain discharges in each segment. Summation of discharges in each segment gives discharges in the river. Q = A1V1+A2V2+A3V3+. = Q1+Q2+Q3+

5.5.2

CO-RELATION STUDY W.B. Langbeins log deviation method has been used to obtain the coefficient of co-relation between discharges of river Ravi at Kutehr and at Bajoli. The co-relation factors are as follows: Monsoon period (June-Sept.) = Non-monsoon period = 0.8665 1.0093

The computations have been shown in Table 5.3 & 5.4 respectively From the above co-relation factors, it is evident that the discharges of river Ravi at Kutehr & at Bajoli are consistent. The series for Kutehr HEP has already been approved by your good office and the same has been used for this period. 5.6 DESIGN FLOOD Design flood has been computed on the basis of flood estimation report for western Himalaya Zone-7 and accordingly Hydrographs have been prepared. The maximum flow due to rain contribution comes out to be 3029.99 cumecs which has return period of 1 in 50 years. Thus total design flood has been adopted to be 3050 cumecs. The computations have been shown as Annexure-V-1. 5.7 SEDIMENTATION ASPECTS Detailed studies shall be carried out at the DPR stage.

90% DEPENDABLE YEAR As per the latest guidelines of CEA, the year wise unrestricted energy generation has been computed for the period June-1972 to May,2003. The energy so generated has been arranged in descending order. According to Weibulls relationship p=i/(n+1) where p= percentage exceeding of occurrence, i=event number in descending order and n is the total number of events, 90% dependable year and 50% mean year, have been computed. The computations of power and energy generation have been shown in the Table 7.1.

10m beyond u/s & d/s floors. Consolidation grouting has not been proposed in the river bed, keeping in view the fact that rock is not available upto reasonable depth in the river bed.

6.2.1.4

ENERGY DISSIPATION Dissipation of energy is proposed to be done by providing a horizontal stilling basin depressed below the river bed level (El.1975m) with solid end sill to facilitate formation of hydraulic jump. Layout & details of barrage have been shown in drawing No. Bajoli-Holi-PR-4.

6.2.2

RIVER DIVERSION WORKS The river diversion works have been designed for a discharge of 800 cumecs. The construction of diversion works i.e. half of barrage, intake structure from inlet have been proposed to be taken up by making Ist Stage coffer dam of length 300m allowing flow of water along the left bank of river. After the completion of diversion barrage upto El. 1987m & Power intake upto El. 1990m the Ist stage coffer dam shall be removed and water shall be diverted on right bank of river through barrage constructed, by making 2nd stage coffer dam. Thereafter, the construction of remaining half of the barrage shall be completed. The construction of diversion works has been proposed to be completed within three months period. Construction of coffer dam is proposed to be modified as per site conditions after each monsoon season.. The provision for construction of coffer dam has been made accordingly, adding 50% quantum of work being involved due to repetition of job after each season in the cost estimate of the project. The provision of plain cement concrete of grade M-10 has been made on the top and side slopes of coffer dam to prevent the seepage of water towards working area.

VI 6.2.2.1 INTAKE STRUCTURE

The intake structure comprising single intake with eight no. openings,has been proposed on the right bank of river, to handle a discharge of 89.68 cumecs.

Top level of surge shaft is proposed at El. 2050.00m. One adit 5m D-shaped, at the bottom at El. 1954.00m have been proposed. The bottom adit will also be utilized to facilitate excavation of surge shaft and horizontal portions of pressure shaft. After execution of the project this adit will be plugged near junction of pressure shaft and rest of it will be used as a drainage gallery. General layout and details of surge shaft are shown in drawing No. Bajoli-Holi-PR-7.

VI 6.2.5.2 HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS

Surge shaft area has been worked out by using Thomass criteria for incipient stability with factor of safety as 1.6m conforming to IS:7396 (Part-I) 1979. Maximum upsurge and minimum down surge levels have been computed by computer analysis as per above mentioned IS code. Maximum upsurge level works out to be 2043.00m and minimum down surge level as 1960.00m. For calculating maximum upsurge and minimum down surge levels the friction co-efficient have been taken as 0.012 and 0.015 respectively. 6.2.5.2 CONCRETE LINING It is proposed to provide reinforced concrete lining for surge shaft. Lateral cover around surge shaft at all heights has been kept more than three times the excavated diameter of the surge shaft. It is assumed that upsurge being of very short duration will not cause any saturation in the surrounding rock mass. 6.2.6 6.2.6.1 PRESSURE SHAFT GENERAL A 4.00m dia pressure shaft with centre line at El. 1951.50m will take off from surge shaft for leading the water in to turbines. In the initial 20m horizontal reach, a valve gallery has been proposed to accommodate butterfly valve. The inclined length of main pressure shaft is 440m. Three nos. branch pressure shaft of 2.30m dia 20m each in length, takes off from the main pressure shaft to feed three units in the power house. The entire length of the pressure shaft will be steel lined. The excavation of inclined portion will be carried out from surge shaft bottom adit and from power house cavity. The space between liner and excavated rock will be back filled with M-20 conc. Adequate contact grouting will be done at contact points of concrete with liner and rock. Consolidation grouting has also been

VI -

proposed in the reach, where the pressure shaft will pass through poor rock. Details of pressure shaft are shown in Drawing No. BAJOLI HOLI-PR-7.

6.2.6.2

ECONOMIC DIAMETER Economical dia of the pressure shaft has been worked out by cost optimization studies for various diameters. Accordingly, a diameter of 4.00m has been adopted to carry the design discharge of 71.74cumecs with velocity of flow as 5.74m/sec. The diameters of branches has been kept as 2.30m.

6.2.7 6.2.7.1

POWER HOUSE GENERAL The proposed underground power house is located about 2.0km. d/s of Holi village on right bank of Ravi river. This site has been considered suitable for underground power house. The tail race tunnel from power house will discharge in to river Ravi. The erection bay and transformer hall floor levels, are proposed at El. 1720m. The approach to power house and transformer hall cavern is through 7m D-shaped main excess tunnel. The machine hall and transformer hall are proposed in underground parallel cavities at suitable spacing. The control room is proposed in power house cavity while the SF6 switchgear is proposed in transformer hall cavity. A cable cum ventilation gallery/tunnel is proposed, which will initially be used for carrying out excavation and providing support system in the crown portion of power house and transformers hall cavities. Vertical and lateral cover each of 200m approx. respectively has been provided in machine cavity and transformer hall cavity. The safety of power house complex from flooding, from tail water end during construction stage will be adequately ensured.

VI 6.2.7.2 TYPE

Reconnaissance surveys for location of underground or surface power house are yet to be taken up. Surface power house has been ruled out due to the reason that the entire area remains under snow cover for maximum period in the year. Keeping in view the above fact, an underground power house with underground transformer hall has been proposed on right bank of Ravi river. Also the GIS unnderground 220 KV Switchyard has been proposed keeping in view the terrain and reliability of the system. 6.2.7.3 MACHINE HALL The internal dimensions of power house cavity has been proposed as length 50m, width 17m and height 35m. For support system in crown portion of cavity 6m long mechanically anchored , tensioned and grouted rock bolts 1.50m spacing, staggered has been proposed. 100mm thick shotcreting reinforced with welded mesh has been proposed in crown portion and sides of cavity. The spacing of rock bolts in sides has been kept at 2m c/c staggered. The columns in unit bay and erection bay have been kept 1.60m x 0.80m. For columns a nich in the side measuring 0.80mx0.80m has been proposed which will be supported by grouted anchors 25mm dia at 1m spacing. All rock bolts will be tensioned to 12 tonnes immediately after installation and pull out tests will be carried out on 2% rock bolts. The control bay is proposed on opposite side of erection bay in the end of power house. Cavern for housing control room and various auxiliaries/offices, 5 nos. floor have been proposed at El. 1716m, El. 1720m, El. 1724m, El. 1727.5m and El. 1730.5m respectively. The main inlet valve is proposed to be housed in power house cavity just u/s of turbine. EOT crane of 130/30 tonnes capacity has been proposed in erection bay and unit bay to facilitate erection and repair of heavy equipment including main inlet valves.

VI 6.2.7.4 TRANSFORMER HALL

The size of transformer hall cavity has been proposed as 80m long, 16m wide. The clear spacing between these two cavities has been kept at 30m. In addition to main generator transformers, space for spare transformers and station transformer has also been provided in the cavern. The transformer hall cavern will be connected to erection bay by 5mx7m Dshaped gallery for carriage of transformers at erection stage and for repairs. NG rail track is proposed between transformer hall and erection bay for transportation of transformers. The transformer hall will be connected by 3 nos. bus duct galleries 3m D-shaped. The detail of power house has been shown in Drg. No. BAJOLI-HOLI-PR8&9. 6.2.8 AUXILLIARY SURGE SHAFT AND TAIL RACE TUNNEL The outflow from the end of draft tube will be taken through 3 nos. separate branch tail race tunnels. Vertical lift gates have been proposed in these branch tail race tunnels to prevent entry of silt etc. into draft tube and for facilitating repair in turbines. Downstream of this, all the branch tail race tunnels will be joined to one main tail race tunnel 5m D-shaped, 450 m long.

6.0 6.1 CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT OF PROJECT COMPONENTS FINALIZATION OF CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT The proposed Civil Engineering Structures have been planned and designed to divert and conduct 71.74 lacs of water, from river Ravi for generating 180MW of power in an underground power house by utilizing a gross head of 308.00 m. The main works of the project comprise a diversion barrage, intake, underground desanding basins for removing all particles down to 0.20mm size, 14600m long head race tunnel, a restricted orifice type surge shaft and an underground power house to accommodate 3 vertical axis, Francis turbines driven generating units each of 60 MW. After diversion, all the civil engineering components have been kept underground keeping in view the topography of the area. A brief geological site specific feasibility note titled Geo-technical appraisal founded on preliminary site inspection about each component is appended as Para 4.5 in chapter-IV titled Geo-technical Aspects. 6.2 6.2.1 6.2.1.1 PRELIMINARY DESIGN FEATURES BARRAGE GENERAL The slope of river at the diversion site u/s of Bajoli village is of the order of 1 in 55. Peak annual flood of river Ravi at diversion site has been adopted as 3050 cumecs for design of spillways/barrage bays. Barrage 100m long including abutments with crest level of barrage bays at El. 1987m & non

over flow section has been proposed to pass the estimated design flood at FRL El. 2015.00m. The proposed barrage comprises 6 bays of 6.00m each with 3.00m thick piers and is capable of passing the estimated design flood even when one bay is considered inoperative during period of high floods. The max. pond level/ FRL (El. 2015.00m) attained during winter months shall also cater to peaking requirement . During high flood max. water level to be attained has been proposed as 2016.00m. Radial gates in the barrage bays shall be provided from top of crest El. 1987m to the bottom of RCC breast wall El. 1995.00m spanning between the piers. The breast wall is supported on the piers and is provided between El. 1995.00m and El. 2018.00m. 6.2.1.2 RESERVOIR The full reservoir level (FRL) is fixed at El. 2015.00. The minimum draw down level (MDDL) has been fixed at El. 1994.00m. The reservoir so formed has a gross storage capacity of 36.00 ha-m at FRL and 7.60 ha-m at MDDL. Available diurnal storage of 22.72 ha-m ( 85.00-20% reserved for silt deposits) is sufficient for running the power station as a peaking station at full installed capacity for 3.00 hrs. The discharge availability in lean period(Nov. to Feb) in 90% dep. year is 10.94 cumecs. The reservoir spreads over an area of about 12.00 hectares and is about 1.00 km long. 6.2.1.3 BARRAGE BAYS 6 barrage bays 6.00m wide each have been provided to pass the design flood discharge i.e. 3050 cumecs. Total floor of 136m length has been proposed comprising u/s floor, sloping glacis u/s & d/s (4:1) and d/s floor of 50m including end still. A 4 m deep cut off extending up to El. 1981m at u/s side of the floor and 5.00m deep cut off at the end of d/s floor extending up to El. 1970m have been provided to protect the u/s and d/s floor from scour/ piping action. Cement concrete blocks extending 10m each beyond u/s and d/s floors have been provided. Protection to cement

concrete blocks have been provided with stone filled wire crates extending 10m beyond u/s & d/s floors. Consolidation grouting has not been proposed in the river bed, keeping in view the fact that rock is not available upto reasonable depth in the river bed. 6.2.1.4 ENERGY DISSIPATION Dissipation of energy is proposed to be done by providing a horizontal stilling basin depressed below the river bed level (El.1975m) with solid end sill to facilitate formation of hydraulic jump. Layout & details of barrage have been shown in drawing No. Bajoli-Holi-PR-4. 6.2.2 RIVER DIVERSION WORKS The river diversion works have been designed for a discharge of 800 cumecs. The construction of diversion works i.e. half of barrage, intake structure from inlet have been proposed to be taken up by making Ist Stage coffer dam of length 300m allowing flow of water along the left bank of river. After the completion of diversion barrage upto El. 1987m & Power intake upto El. 1990m the Ist stage coffer dam shall be removed and water shall be diverted on right bank of river through barrage constructed, by making 2nd stage coffer dam. Thereafter, the construction of remaining half of the barrage shall be completed. The construction of diversion works has been proposed to be completed within three months period. Construction of coffer dam is proposed to be modified as per site conditions after each monsoon season.. The provision for construction of coffer dam has been made accordingly, adding 50% quantum of work being involved due to repetition of job after each season in the cost estimate of the project. The provision of plain cement concrete of grade M-10 has been made on the top and side slopes of coffer dam to prevent the seepage of water towards working area. 6.2.2.1 INTAKE STRUCTURE

The intake structure comprising single intake with eight no. openings,has been proposed on the right bank of river, to handle a discharge of 89.68 cumecs. A semi circular trash rack structure with reinforced concrete columns has been proposed for intake. Crest elevation of intake is A suitable proposed as 1990m. Stop logs has been proposed for controlling flow through intake bays 8 nos.(5.50mx3m) each during repairs. transition is provided to convert the rectangular opening into a 6.00m dia circular approach tunnel. Approach tunnel is 200m long and shall lead the water into two desanding basins. Details are shown in drawing No. BajoliHoli-PR-4. 6.2.3 DESANDING ARRANGEMENT An underground desanding arrangement to exclude all silt particles down to 0.20mm has been proposed d/s of barrage axis on the right bank of river Ravi. A lateral rock cover more than 3 time width has been ensured for locating chamber No. 1. Rock cover of the order of twice the width of excavated cavity of the chamber has been ensured in between the two chambers. Stop logs will be provided at the inlet and outlet of all the chambers to facilitate closing of any chamber for maintenance/repairs, while the others will enable continuous operation of the power station. Layout and details of desilting arrangement are given in drawing Banjoli-Holi-PR-5. 6.2.4 6.2.4.1 HEAD RACE TUNNEL GENERAL The head race tunnel 5.00m dia, 14600m modified horse shoe type has been proposed to carry a design discharge of 71.74cumecs from the junction point of feeder tunnels of desilting chamber with HRT to the surge shaft. The tunnel is located along right bank of river Ravi. Layout of the tunnel has been fixed keeping in view the topography of the area and No.

location of construction adit from Ravi river for completing the tunnel excavation work on schedule. Adequate rock cover has been ensured in entire reach of the tunnel. The invert level of tunnel at RD-0 is at El. 1984.73 m and at outlet end at El. 1949.00m resulting in a slope of 1 in 409. Six adits each 5m D-shaped at inlet, outlet and at intermediate locations have been provided to facilitate construction of HRT from eight faces. The inlet and outlet adits are so provided that they shall separate the construction activity of the head race tunnel from that of desilting chambers and surge shaft. The layout of the tunnel and other details are indicated in Drawing. No. BAJOLI-HOLI-PR-6. 6.2.4.2 CROSS SECTION Based on geological, hydraulic, structural and functional considerations, modified horse shoe shaped cross section, 5.0m dia has been adopted. The tunnel is proposed to be lined with concrete M:20. 6.2.5 6.2.5.1 SURGE SHAFT GENERAL The underground restricted orifice type surge shaft of 12m dia and 96.00m height has been proposed at the outlet end of Head race tunnel at RD 14600. Top level of surge shaft is proposed at El. 2050.00m. One adit 5m D-shaped, at the bottom at El. 1954.00m have been proposed. The bottom adit will also be utilized to facilitate excavation of surge shaft and horizontal portions of pressure shaft. After execution of the project this adit will be plugged near junction of pressure shaft and rest of it will be used as a drainage gallery. General layout and details of surge shaft are shown in drawing No. Bajoli-Holi-PR-7. 6.2.5.2 HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS

Surge shaft area has been worked out by using Thomass criteria for incipient stability with factor of safety as 1.6m conforming to IS:7396 (Part-I) 1979. Maximum upsurge and minimum down surge levels have been computed by computer analysis as per above mentioned IS code. Maximum upsurge level works out to be 2043.00m and minimum down surge level as 1960.00m. For calculating maximum upsurge and minimum down surge levels the friction co-efficient have been taken as 0.012 and 0.015 respectively. 6.2.5.2 CONCRETE LINING It is proposed to provide reinforced concrete lining for surge shaft. Lateral cover around surge shaft at all heights has been kept more than three times the excavated diameter of the surge shaft. It is assumed that upsurge being of very short duration will not cause any saturation in the surrounding rock mass. 6.2.6 6.2.6.1 PRESSURE SHAFT GENERAL A 4.00m dia pressure shaft with centre line at El. 1951.50m will take off from surge shaft for leading the water in to turbines. In the initial 20m horizontal reach, a valve gallery has been proposed to accommodate butterfly valve.The inclined length of main pressure shaft is 440m. Three nos. branch pressure shaft of 2.30m dia 20m each in length, takes off from the main pressure shaft to feed three units in the power house. The entire length of the pressure shaft will be steel lined. The excavation of inclined portion will be carried out from surge shaft bottom adit and from power house cavity. The space between liner and excavated rock will be back filled with M-20 conc. Adequate contact grouting will be done at contact points of concrete with liner and rock. Consolidation grouting has also been

proposed in the reach, where the pressure shaft will pass through poor rock. Details of pressure shaft are shown in Drawing No. BAJOLI HOLI-PR-7. 6.2.6.2 ECONOMIC DIAMETER Economical dia of the pressure shaft has been worked out by cost optimization studies for various diameters. Accordingly, a diameter of 4.00m has been adopted to carry the design discharge of 71.74cumecs with velocity of flow as 5.74m/sec. The diameters of branches has been kept as 2.30m. 6.2.7 6.2.7.1 POWER HOUSE GENERAL The proposed underground power house is located about 2.0km. d/s of Holi village on right bank of Ravi river. This site has been considered suitable for underground power house. The tail race tunnel from power house will discharge in to river Ravi. The erection bay and transformer hall floor levels, are proposed at El. 1720m. The approach to power house and transformer hall cavern is through 7m D-shaped main excess tunnel. The machine hall and transformer hall are proposed in underground parallel cavities at suitable spacing. The control room is proposed in power house cavity while the SF6 switchgear is proposed in transformer hall cavity. A cable cum ventilation gallery/tunnel is proposed, which will initially be used for carrying out excavation and providing support system in the crown portion of power house and transformers hall cavities. Vertical and lateral cover each of 200m approx. respectively has been provided in machine cavity and transformer hall cavity. The safety of power house complex from flooding, from tail water end during construction stage will be adequately ensured.

6.2.7.2

TYPE

Reconnaissance surveys for location of underground or surface power house are yet to be taken up. Surface power house has been ruled out due to the reason that the entire area remains under snow cover for maximum period in the year. Keeping in view the above fact, an underground power house with underground transformer hall has been proposed on right bank of Ravi river. Also the GIS underground 220 KV Switchyard has been proposed keeping in view the terrain and reliability of the system. 6.2.7.3 MACHINE HALL The internal dimensions of power house cavity has been proposed as length 50m, width 17m and height 35m. For support system in crown portion of cavity 6m long mechanically anchored , tensioned and grouted rock bolts 1.50m spacing, staggered has been proposed. 100mm thick shotcreting reinforced with welded mesh has been proposed in crown portion and sides of cavity. The spacing of rock bolts in sides has been kept at 2m c/c staggered. The columns in unit bay and erection bay have been kept 1.60m x 0.80m. For columns a nich in the side measuring 0.80mx0.80m has been proposed which will be supported by grouted anchors 25mm dia at 1m spacing. All rock bolts will be tensioned to 12 tonnes immediately after installation and pull out tests will be carried out on 2% rock bolts. The control bay is proposed on opposite side of erection bay in the end of power house. Cavern for housing control room and various auxiliaries/offices, 5 nos. floor have been proposed at El. 1716m, El. 1720m, El. 1724m, El. 1727.5m and El. 1730.5m respectively. The main inlet valve is proposed to be housed in power house cavity just u/s of turbine. EOT crane of 130/30 tonnes capacity has been proposed in erection bay and unit bay to facilitate erection and repair of heavy equipment including main inlet valves. 6.2.7.4 TRANSFORMER HALL

The size of transformer hall cavity has been proposed as 80m long, 16m wide. The clear spacing between these two cavities has been kept at 30m. In addition to main generator transformers, space for spare transformers and station transformer has also been provided in the cavern. The transformer hall cavern will be connected to erection bay by 5mx7m Dshaped gallery for carriage of transformers at erection stage and for repairs. NG rail track is proposed between transformer hall and erection bay for transportation of transformers. The transformer hall will be connected by 3 nos. bus duct galleries 3m D-shaped. The detail of power house has been shown in Drg. No. BAJOLI-HOLI-PR8 & 9. 6.2.8 AUXILLIARY SURGE SHAFT AND TAIL RACE TUNNEL The outflow from the end of draft tube will be taken through 3 nos. separate branch tail race tunnels. Vertical lift gates have been proposed in these branch tail race tunnels to prevent entry of silt etc. into draft tube and for facilitating repair in turbines. Downstream of this, all the branch tail race tunnels will be joined to one main tail race tunnel 5m D-shaped, 450 m long.

PATTERN OF FLOWS IN 90% DEPENDABLE AND 50% MEAN YEAR

31 years discharge data from June 1972 to May, 2003 in respect of Ravi river at Kutehr Dam site has been used to develop a flow series for BajoliHoli HEP for power generation. Energy generation has been worked out for all the years as appended in Table 7.1. .Pattern of flows in 90% dependable and 50% mean years has been worked out on the basis of energy generation in 31 years by using Welbulls relationship P= n/m+1, where P is percentage exceeding of occurrence, n is the event no. in descending order and m is total no. of events, presented in Table 7.2. Flows in 90% dependable and 50% mean years, so worked out are given in Table 7.3.

INSTALLED CAPACITY STUDIES Power generation studies for 90% dependable and 50% mean year pattern of flows with installed capacity varying from 90 MW to 210 MW have been done. From the study, the incremental increase v/s installed capacity curve & total energy v/s installed capacity curve have been drawn as shown in Plate 7.1 and Plate 7.2 respectively.

It is seen from the curve that there is uniform decline in incremental increase until we reach at installed capacity of 180 MW. Moreover the overall plant load factor and .% utilization at 180 MW is 0.48 and 99.36% respectively.

The project has also been planned as a peaking station for 3 hrs to meet with the peaking power shortage in the country. Hence keeping in view the overall PLF of 48% and.% age utilization of 99.36% the installed capacity has been fixed to be 180 MW.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
9.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The proposed Bajoli Holi HEP is a run of the river scheme on Ravi river to harness the power potential between village Bajoli and Barola. The scheme envisages diversion of 71.74 cumecs discharge of Ravi, near 200 m down stream of the confluence of Channi nallah with river Ravi by constructing a diversion structure (about 30 m high) through an underground desilting structure, a 5 m dia 14.6 km long HRT, surge shaft and a 4 m dia 475 m long pressure shaft to generate 180 MW of power in an underground power house near village Barola by utilising a gross head of about 308 m. The water will be further discharged to Kuther reservoir. 9.1 9.1.1 9.1.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT PHYSICAL RESOURCE HYDROLOGY The area in question is drained mainly by Ravi river. A large number of nallah drain directly in to the Ravi river. In the propose project area, Sarontha Nallah and Sal nallah drains into the Ravi river 9.1.1.2 GEOLOGY Most of the area of the area is as yet geologically unmapped. A great mass of the mountain is formed of ancient rock of silurian age, resting on a central mass of granite or granitoid gneiss. Nearly all the hill ranges of the Himalayas follow a definite pattern of strata. They

IX -

usually lie in the east-west direction with some variations. The strata dip to the north barring some variations due to orogenic movements and local disturbances. This east-west sweep of the ranges has given rise to markedly south and north exposed slopes, and hence to different rock weathering conditions and vegetative cover due to the varying duration of light. All over the tract, schist occurs in different forms such as shales, slates, gneisses, argillaceous clay, etc. The schists provide easily worked building stones, while slates provides excellent roofing material of good quality. Underlying rock of Dhauladhar range are granite and gneiss almost uniform in character throughout. At the lower elevations the rock system, mainly on the northern and eastern slopes, is very unstable, weak and friable nature, readily prone to disintegration. The terrain in such parts is highly susceptible to landslides, land-slips and erosion. The sub-soil is fairly hard, generally argillaceous shale, which is often fissured, and easily subject to disintegration near the surface when exposed. The soil depth is inversely proportional to the slopes. On ridges and spurs, and precipitous and southern aspects, the soil tends to be shallow and dry with numerous out-crops of bare rocks. 9.1.2 9.1.2.1 ECOLOGICAL RESOURCE FORESTS The composition of the forest vegetation and its evolution is influenced by the character of the rocks/soil underlying. The main forests in the area are of Kail and Chilgoza. The density varies from good to sparse and scattered. In some areas which were earlier shown to have Kail forests are now having Chilgoza trees.

IX 9.1.2.2 9.1.2.3 FLORA AND FAUNA FLORA

The main parts are located on the right bank of the river which is almost barren. Very few patches of Kail trees are seen. On higher elevations the vegetation is better. However, the right bank has moderate tree cover of various species. The composition and condition of the crop varies with altitude and aspect. In the lower area Kail and Deodar are found mixed with Oaks whereas further upward Spruce and Fir forests are found as mixed crop or in pure form. Kail is prominent on southern aspects whereas Deodar, Spruce and Fir are mostly confined to the cooler aspects. The right bank in particular has a good stock of medicinal plants on higher altitudes.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE The climate is markedly temperate and varies with the altitude. Since most of the area of the tract lies on higher elevations and northern aspects, so cool weather prevails during most part of the year. Seasons are well marked. The spring season is cool bright and free of haze and mist or dust and snow deposits still persists above 1830 meters. April slowly gives way to the much steadier months of May and June when the sun shines, the light brightest and warmest, with occasional light showers and the weather is tolerably warm. The monsoon generally starts in the first week of July and lasts upto the end of August. There are occasionally very heavy rains, which bring in devastating floods in the streams and nullahs and landslides or land slips (locally called ghaars). September and October is cool bright and free of haze and dust, with occasional light rains. November is cool and dry and by the middle of this month rain, hail, sleet and light snowfall begin to visit the area above 1800 meters. Snowfall is almost a regular feature from December to middle of March. It accumulates as much as 9 meters at 2700 meters elevation and above and does not persist longer below 1800 meters of elevations and southern slopes.

The bulk of the precipitation is received in the form of sleet and snow from the mid of November to middle of March. Rainfall is also good during monsoon from middle of July to end of August. The difference in the distribution of the snowfall is less pronounced. Generally, the inner valleys experience a heavy snow fall , where it stays longer. Droughts occur from April to middle of June and during middle of

IX - 12 September to November. Prolonged severe droughts are common and that have adverse effect on the establishment of regeneration. Air, Water, Soil and Sound data will be collected at the time of doing detailed EIA. Since this is pre feasibility report, this has not been done at this stage. 9.3 9.3.1 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION IMPACT IDENTIFICATION Environmental impacts both direct and indirect on various

environmental attributes due to Bajoli Holi Hydropower project in the surrounding environment, during construction & operational Phase are discussed. 9.3.2 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE The impacts due to the construction of Bajoli Holi HEP and power house installation commence from the exploration activities, construction of barrage, tunnels and approach roads, etc., and may continue up to generation of hydel power, with the nature and extent of impacts varying throughout the stage of project development. Activities like site preparation, approach roads, excavation, drilling, blasting, foundations, tunneling, deployment of machinery, erection, transportation, dumping are taken up during construction phase. The likely impacts on the environment due to these activities are listed in the table. Tunneling and foundation works will involve land excavation, filling and concrete works affecting environment by noise and dust pollution.

IX - 13 Deployment of machinery, approach roads construction and erection work will also result in dust, noise pollution and vehicular traffic. Material handling and transportation may significantly increase noise pollution. The Muck produced will be in huge quantity and it will pose an environmental threat unless properly managed. The labour for various activities during the construction phase shall be engaged. Some essential services are also required to be provided. This will have an impact on drinking water supply and sanitary facilities. Economy of the nearby area will be improved due to increased job opportunities with corresponding increase in income. Other associated business activities like transport, hotels, consumer goods etc., will also be benefited. The major environmental parameters likely to be effected during construction phase are muck, noise, dust pollution and sanitation. Water spraying during high dust will minimise the dust level to some extent. A proper temporary housing with water supply and sanitation for workers should be planned. The effect due to construction phase is however, of temporary in nature and has no permanent effect on environment. Construction Phase Clearing and grading Temporary facilities, such as, sheds approach roads, Site work / providing other facilities. sanitary facilities. Earth work comprising of excavation and trenches. Muck, Soil erosion, run off, increase in traffic, Dust emission Foundation work, piling and Muck, Dust, visual and construction of check dams. noise pollution Negligible Muck, Dust emission and change in traffic intensity.

Excavation Construction of approach roads, tunneling works and construction of under ground Power Station 9.3.3 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE There would be little environmental and ecological changes during the operational phase. The main activities that may cause environmental impact on the surrounding environment during project completion and after during operation are: i. ii. iii. Transportation of excessive solid waste material (muck) Dumping of solid waste material Removal of temporary facilities, cleaning etc. Dumping Transportation Drilling and blasting Dust, noise and visual impact. Muck, Dust, soil erosion, wastewater generation and noise Muck, Dust, noise and health hazards Dust, noise and visual Dust, noise and visual Muck, Dust and noise pollution

9.4

PREDICTION OF IMPACTS The impact during the construction of Bajoli Holi HEP on environment (air, water, noise, land etc. are predicted in this section. The construction activity may cause some adverse impacts on the surrounding environment unless proper environmental management plan is adopted.

9.4.1

IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT. Considerable amount of air pollution will be caused during different stages of construction of tunnels, barrage, roads and other operations such as excavation, drilling, blasting, loading and transportation of material. Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) is the main pollutant during construction. Most of the dust arises from drilling, blasting, excavation, crushing and transportation operations. Large quantities of dust become wind borne and are carried away from overburden dumps. The fugitive dust released during the construction activities may cause immediate effect on the construction workers who are directly exposed to the fugitive dust. Vegetation will also be adversely affected as deposition of dust on the leaves will choke the photosynthesis activity, which, in turn, will have adverse effect on the health of the plants.

IX - 16 However, the dust does not travel to longer distance because the project site is located in between hills and V-shaped valleys. 9.4.2 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT The noise will be generated at the time of construction of barrage, powerhouse, tunnel boring machine operations, pumps, drilling machines, dumpers, etc. Continuous exposure of workers to high level of noise may result in annoyance, fatigue, and may cause temporary shift of threshold limit of hearing and even permanent loss of hearing. During operational phase, noise level will be increased due trouncing machinery and vehicular movement in the area. However, these impacts are only localised. 9.4.3 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT. During the construction of barrage, tunnel, and power house surface water (river water) may get polluted due to the generation of large quantities of suspended particulate matter at the time of transportation of muck and waste water (sewage) coming from temporary arrangements like offices, labour camp sheds, etc., 9.4.4 IMPACTS ON FLORA AND FAUNA The various plant and animal species available in the region have already been described. There are no endangered species in the region. There are no Wild Life Sanctuary or National Park in the area. Every Plant species and wild life species whether mammal, bird, reptile, aquatic or amphibian plays an important role in the maintenance of balance of nature and is useful to mankind in many ways. Every individual animal, bird or insect has been endowed with

IX - 17 certain specific protective measures so that it can protect itself and reproduce, thus ensuring the existence of the species. However, the project activities will not have any significant effect on the Forest and Wild Life except for removal of bare minimum number of trees. However, Compensatory afforestation will be done as per the general stipulations given by the Govt of India MoEF at the time of sanction of diversion of Forestland 9.4.5 E. R & R ASPECTS Since the Project is a run-of-the-river type and there is no storage, therefore, there is no submergence. Hence, no dwellings, houses or hamlets will be submerged. resettlement is involved. 9.4.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (MITIGATION MEASURES) Environmental Management Plan (EMP) aims at the preservation of ecological system by considering certain mitigating measures at the proposed site. The mitigation measures are used to minimize or prevent adverse impacts on environment due to the proposed development activity . Some of the major criteria governing the environmental measures will be adopted, and the same is described in the following paragraphs. 9.4.6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT The EMP is required to ensure sustainable development in the study area of 10 Km radius of the proposed Bajoli Holi HEP site. Government regulating agencies like Pollution Control Board working So, there is no displacement and

IX - 18 in the region and more importantly the people living in the area need to extend their co-operation and contribution in this direction. It has been evaluated that the study area shall not be affected adversely with the proposed activity and likely to get new economical fillip due to hydel power generation, not only for the study area but also for the region as a whole. The majority of the environmental impact pertains to the construction phase. It is planned to take corrective measures to ensure that these effects are kept to bare minimum. The EMP will therefore, be initiated during planning stage itself. Catchment Area Treatment Plan, which will be prepared at a later stage will form part of the Environmental Management Plan 9.4.7 9.4.7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AT CONSTRUCTION STAGE SITE PREPARATION Dust emission (fugitive) and solid waste will be generated during initial site preparation activity and there will be slight increase in the noise levels around the site. The environmental impacts during the clearing or clearing for site preparation will be temporary, localised and negligible. Water sprays at appropriate location will be provided for dust suppression, hence reducing the impacts. Solid waste will be disposed off along with the muck at the designated sites. 9.4.7.2 9.4.7.2.1 CONSTRUCTION AIR ENVIRONMENT As discussed earlier, construction of Bajoli Holi HEP and powerhouse activities will generate large quantities of dust during drilling, blasting,

IX - 19 loading and transportation operations. The following measures are required be taken to mitigate the fugitive dust from different operations. To avoid the dust generation from the drilling operations, wetdrilling methods will be adopted. Ceasing dust -generating activities during high winds Covering of vehicles carrying solid waste (muck). Watering of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals Plantation near muck disposal places and dumping yards. 9.4.7.2.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The major noise-generating sources from the proposed activity are working machinery, blasting and movement of vehicles. The following control measures are to be undertaken to bring down the noise levels. Traffic (vehicular movement) to be managed to produce a smooth flow instead of a noisier stop -and start flow. Ensuring timely preventive maintenance of the equipment involved. Since a well maintained equipment is generally quieter than poorly maintained equipment. Ensuring usage of personal protective devices i.e., earmuffs and earplugs by workers, working in high noise activity centers.

IX - 20 Plantation in the vicinity of the construction area will further reduce the noise levels. 9.4.7.2.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT During construction phase the wastewater (sewage) coming from temporary arrangements like offices, labour camp sheds, canteens etc., and impact due to soil erosion during monsoon period may cause surface water pollution. Some of the control measures adopted for controlling water pollution are as follows: Establishing septic tanks followed by soak pits to treat the domestic waste water generated from the offices, canteens , labour camp sheds. Construction of Check dams /rock fill dams, wherever necessary to reduce siltation and suspended solids. 9.4.8 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT (COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION) Afforestation is proposed to be done in open areas with moderate slope. This has to be supplemented with engineering/vegetative works like gully plugging and check dams etc where ever required. The planting area should be closed to grazing, lopping quarrying etc. For proper protection, it is necessary that the area is fenced and the fence is maintained properly. Plants need to be protected till they attain a height, which is above grazing level.

IX - 21 9.4.8.1 DISPOSAL OF MUCK By constructing the tunnel, underground power house and other items, huge quantity of muck will be generated. It is expected that 30-35 % of this will be used for making aggregates. The rest will require to be disposed off and managed in a planned manner. This is the most important aspect to be dealt with. It is proposed that at different locations dumping sites will be identified at suitable places. Retaining walls will be constructed. After the filling is done, rehabilitation of this site will be done to ensure that neither it flows in to the water stream nor it poses any other environmental threat. Plantation, wherever possible, will also be done on these sites so that these get stabilised over a period of time and do not pose any environmental problem. When detailed EIA/EMP is done detailed design for each and every dumping site will have to be prepared. 9.5 9.5.1 REPORT OF SATELLITE DATA ANALYSIS BY NRSA STUDY BACKGROUND Central Electricity Authority (CEA) under Ministry of Power, Govt. of India has earlier identified 399 potential hydroelectric sites in the country with an installed capacity of 1,07,000 Megawatt (MW). With a view to preparing an action plan to develop this hydroelectric potential and prioritizing the implementation of hydro-electric projects, a Ranking Study was taken up by the CEA in 2001. This Ranking Study identified 162 most potential sites with a total installed capacity of 50,560 MW for development. Preparation of Pre-Feasibility Reports (PFR) of these 162 sites has been initiated by the CEA in 2002 with works entrusted to a number of Consultants, namely, National Hydroelectric Power Corporation

IX - 22 (NHPC), North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO), Water And Power Consultancy Services India Limited (WAPCOS), Satluj Jal Vidut Nigam Limited ( SVJNL) , Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board ( HPSEB), Uttaranchal Jal Vidut Nigam Limited ( UJVNL) and Kerala Power Corporation Limited ( KPCL) with time target of completion of the whole exercise by September 2003. To oversee the progress of the PFRs preparation in time and with full cooperation of the Central Government agencies, a Central Coordination Committee consisting of Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Central Water Commission (CWC), India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Environment & Forest, Survey of India, Geological Survey of India (GSI) and National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) was constituted by the CEA with Member (Hydro-power) as its Chairman. The Committee is sitting periodically in presence of the representatives of the Consultants to take stock of the completion of the studies. One of the mandates of PFR preparation is Initial Environmental Study with respect to each of the 162 proposed sites using satellite remote sensing data. As is well known in India and elsewhere in the world, space technology plays a very important role in terrain mapping and scientific assessment of the ground condition at speed, and is ideally suitable for inaccessible mountainous regions where majority of these hydroelectric dam/diversion sites are located. Computer processing of satellite digital data of the dam / diversion sites and their immediate environ provides wealth of information for preparation of the PreFeasibility Reports. The Potential of this technology was amply demonstrated in the preliminary ranking study of the 81 proposed hydro-electric sites in Indus Basin completed by NRSA in October 2001 on behalf of CEA. In view of this, NRSA has been approached by a number of consultants, namely, NHPC and HPSEB to take up Initial Environmental Studies in respect of 37 proposed hydro-power

IX - 23 sites located in the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Madhya Pradesh using most recent satellite remote sensing data. NRSA in the recent month 9 Jan-May 2004) has completed initial environmental studies with respect to 6 hydro-electric schemes located in Chenab river basin for HPSEB, Sundernagar. Further, HPSEB has requested NRSA for similar studies for additional two sites viz. Chamba and Bajoli holi in Ravi river basin. This Report deals with Bajoli-Holi hydro-power site. 9.5.2 OBJECTIVE Principal objective of the satellite based study is to acquire Indian Remote Sensing satellites (IRS 1C/1D) LISS-III and PAN sensor digital data of the hydro-power sites and to make quick analysis of these data in terms of estimation of the submergence area at proposed Full Reservoir Level (FRL) and mapping of land use - land cover information within and in immediate surrounding of the proposed submergence area as inputs for Initial Environmental Study (IES) of the Pre-Feasibility Report. The specific objectives and scope of the study are: To estimate the area of submergence at proposed FRL of the proposed hydro-power sites

To analyse the satellite data for identifying broad landuse landcover categories like agricultural land, forest land, barren land, scrub land, water bodies, settlements, infrastructural features (roads and bridges) and to estimate the area under each of the

IX - 24 categories within and in immediate surrounding of the proposed submergence area at FRL. 9.5.3 SALIENT FEATURES OF THE BAJOLI-HOLI HYDROPOWER SITE Proposed hydro-power site is located at Bajoli-Holi in Ravi River Basin in Himachal Pradesh falling in Survey of India topo sheets No.52 D/11. The proposed project scheme at Bajoli-Holi envisages construction of a diversion structure on Ravi river, and a power house. The Head-Race Tunnel from the dam to the power house is proposed to be 15 km in length. The river water will be diverted through the Head-Race tunnel to the Power House for hydro-power generation. The geographic location of Dam and Power House for this hydropower site is given here : Dam Latitude : Longitude: 9.5.4 32 16 53 N 76 40 45E Power House 32 20 31 N 76 32 37 E

SATELLITE DATA USED Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, IRS-IC LISS III and PAN sensors data of 27th September 2002 covering the study site were procured from the NRSA Data Centre (NDC) after intensive browsing of the available satellite data for cloud-free and radiometric suitability. IRS1C covers the study site by satellite geo-reference number Path 94 and Row 48. These data are geometrically and radiometrically corrected digital data products which can be used readily in Window based image analysis platform.

IX - 25 9.5.5 BRIEF METHODOLOGY OF SATELLITE DATA ANALYSIS Image processing and analysis was done using ERDAS Imagine image analysis software in Windows platform. Satellite data of IRS 1D LISS III sensor provides 23.5 m spatial resolution and PAN sensor provides 5.8m spatial resolution. The two sensor data were geocoded and digitally merged using IHS transformation technique . Baseline information layers (like rivers/ streams) and infrastructural features (like roads and bridges), settlements / villages were initially interpreted on the digital image scene. cover categories of the study area. Output maps were composed in the image processing system which provide the landuse / landcover information along with other interpreted information such as roads, settlements etc., within the 7 Km radius from the dam site. The location of the diversion structure and power house from the index map provided by land use - land cover map. HPSEB, Sundernagar was superimposed on the satellite data as well as on the Area statistics of different landuselandcover categories were generated within the 7 km radius circle from the diversion point on the river. 9.5.6 OUTPUTS PROVIDED Based on the analysis of satellite data and other available ancillary information, the following outputs were generated: Map 1 (a) Shows IRS 1 C PAN + LISS III merged satellite image of 27th September 2002 on 1:50,000 scale covering 7 km radius from the dam site overlaid with FRL , location of dam site and power house.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SATELLITE BASED INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY Total area under submergence at proposed FRL (2017 m. above MSL) is estimated to be 11.79 ha (Table.1). The small submergence area is a positive sign for the development of the preset hydro-power site. It is observed from Table 1 and Figure 1c that the area under vegetation cover class is estimated to be 5.92 ha. Which constitutes 50% of the total submergence area. Forest vegetation is classified as medium dense forest and low dense forest. Area statistics of the forest density categories are estimated as 5.09 ha and 0.83 ha respectively. There is no high

IX - 28 dense forest class is present in the submergence area and its immediate environs. Hence, the presence of forest vegetation cover , which is only to the extent of 6 ha. will pose least environmental concern in developing the proposed hydro-power site. It is also observed that percent distribution of vegetation cover class under forest category in the immediate surrounding (7 km radius circle) of the proposed hydro-power site (table 2) is same ( approx. 50%) as that of submergence area. Land areas under other land use categories like barren / rockoutcrop and open scrub together is around 3.14 ha., which is 32% of the submergence area. Whereas, it is observed that this category is predominant (approx. 50%) in the immediate environs of the proposed hydro-power site (Table 2). It is found that there is no agricultural land present within the proposed submergence area. This is a welcome positive indicator of insignificant environmental cost, should the proposed hydropower project is developed at this site. There are no surface water bodies other than the river course. It is observed that there are no settlements existing within the submergence area. This is a positive indicator so far as socioeconomic and demographic factor is concerned with respect to the proposed hydro-power development project. It is observed from the Table 2 that snow cover is present to an extent of 383 ha in the 7 km radius circle of the proposed dam with few isolated settlements and few agricultural lands. In the absence of available information from other sources about the existence and spatial extent of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, best efforts were made to collect information from the Internet. The information available in website of United Nations Environment programme World Conservation Monitoring Center

IX - 29 (http://www.unep-wcmc.org), National Informatics Centre, www. wildarunachal.org and www.arunachalbhawan.com regarding Wildlife Arunachal Pradesh State and its National Parks / Sanctuaries, were browsed through. websites, following information is gathered. Great Himalayan National Park with an areal extent of 62,000 ha is the only nearest National park (Fig 1(d)) is located at 83 km away from the dam site in south eastern direction. However, exact boundary / shape of this National Park is not available from these websites. It is unlikely to have any significant impact on Great Himalayan National Park. The Fig. 1d also shows that there are ten sanctuaries located around the proposed dam site within 90 km radius, of which Kugti, manali and Kais are located within 50 km distance from the proposed dam site, whose areal extents are 37,886 ha, 3180 ha, 1419 ha respectively. Though the exact boundaries are not available , since Kugti sanctuary is close to the proposed site (26 km away from the dam site), it may likely to have impact on it. Hence, a detailed impact assessment and habitat analysis may be carried out. However, exact spatial extent (boundaries) of this park may be superimposed for verifying the likely impact. Similarly, Manali sanctuary and kais sanctuary are situated at an aerial distance of 42 and 54 kms from the dam site and their spatial extents are 3180 ha and 1914 ha. which are unlikely to have any impact by the proposed hydro electric scheme.. Since 7 Km radius around the dam site was considered as the area of study, efforts were made to check whether the geo-coordinates of this National Park/ Wildlife Sanctuary is falling within the area

Based on these Internet

IX - 30 of study. The map No. 1(d) explains the location of the sanctuary vis--vis the dam site and the power house. 9.5.8 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION 1. Satellite based study has provided insight into the land use-land cover pattern and their spatial extent within the submergence area at FRL (2017m. above MSL) and within the 7 Km radius vicinity of the proposed dam site. Such detail information on a scale of 1:25,000 is not available from any other sources at present. 2. It is observed that, there are no settlements within the submergence area. This is a positive indicator of this hydro-power site. Within the 7 Km radius of the dam site, there are small pockets of human settlement (3.33 ha). However, Socio-economic and demographic data of this and others not identified need to be verified on the ground. 3. There is no agricultural land within submergence area. environmental cost on this score therefore is absolutely nil. 4. The proposed dam site and the power house locale is endowed with good medium dense forest vegetation. However, since the submergence area at FRL is confined within the river gorge, forest vegetation of the spatial extent of 5.92 hectares will be affected due to submergence. This is very insignificant. Species types of these forest vegetation need to be identified from local Forest Department and by field visit to the area. 5. Since the proposed dam is located on the gorge, the submergence area mostly confines to the river course. The river course including The

IX - 31 the dry river bed constitutes 23% of the proposed submergence area (11.79 ha.). 6. Kugti, Manali and Kais sanctuaries are situated at an aerial distance of 26, 42 and 54 kms respectively, away from the proposed dam site, according to the information collected from several websites. The location and wildlife of these sanctuaries will in no way be affected by the hydro-electric project, since the fetch distance of the reservoir submergence is around 0.6 km only. However, since Kugti sanctuary is only 20 km away from the dam site, whose exact spatial distribution need to be ascertained for evaluating the impact by the proposed scheme. 7. Great Himalayan National park, which is located 83 km away from the dam site. Though, the exact boundary / shape of this National Park is not available from these websites, the present hydro electric scheme with less ponding area and small fetch distance, is unlikely to have any significant impact on this National Park directly.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The project has been contemplated as an upstream development of Kutehr HEP (260 MW). It envisages the construction of barrage across the river Ravi near village Bajoli, intake structure, two no. feeder tunnels and underground desilting arrangement to divert

71.74 cumecs of water through a 5 m dia modified horse shoe concrete lined tunnel 14600 long, a surge shaft 12 m dia 96 m heigh, a pressure shaft 4 m dia trifurcating near power house to 2.30 m dia each to generate 180 MW power in an underground power house near village Barola. The annual power generation from the project in 90% dependable year will be 762.98 Gwh.

3.

HYDROLOGY River Ravi originates from Bara Banghal in Kangra district as a joint stream formed by the glacier fed Bhadal & Tantgari at an elevation of 4229 m above mean sea level. High peaks of the catchment remain covered with snow for about 9 months in a year. The catchment area of Bajoli Holi diversion site measures 760 Sq.Km. The entire catchment comprises of mountainous terrain with steep hill slopes. Out of total catchment area of 760 Sq.km., about 30% area is under permanent cover of snow. The principal tributaries of the Ravi upto Bajoli Holi diversion site are Tanetar Gol nallah and Sandrali nallah, Dera nallah and Raula ka nallah. The project area receives precipitation due to the South-West Monsoon as well as the

Western disturbances that pass over the NorthWest part of the country during winter. There are thirteen non recording type rain gauge station in the catchment area of the river Ravi. The normal annual rainfall and annual rainfall has been recorded in millimeters at all these stations for the period 1960 to 2000 by the office of Director land records, revenue department (HP). The river run off has been derived from melting of the snow/ice/glacier bound area of the catchment and the other which is directly derived from rainfall. Discharge data is available for hydrological studies at Bagga, Durgathi, Banthu, Tiyari and Kutehr. The design discharge

of 71.74 cumecs has been proposed for carrying out the hydrological and power potential studies. Design flood at diversion site has been computed based on Flood Estimation Report for Western Himalayan Zone-7. Design flood of 3050 cumecs has been worked out.

4.

POWER POTENTIAL STUDIES Bajoli Holi HEP has been contemplated as a peaking station to operate North Regional Grid. Installed capacity of the projet has been presently kept as 180MW comprising 3 units of 60 MW each. The project will generate 762.98 Gwh in 90% dependable year with 48% plant load factor.

5.

POWER EVACUATION ASPECTS The Bajoli Holi HEP is being developed as an up stream development of Kutehr HEP (260 MW). The power from Bajoli Holi HEP (180MW) has to be evacuated through LILO of 400 KV Kutehr (260MW) and Hibra HEP (231MW) transmission line.

6.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS Environmental Management Plan (EMP) aims at the preservation of ecological system by considering certain mitigating measures at the proposed site. The EMP is required to ensure sustainable

development in the study area of 10 km. radius of the proposed Bajoli Holi HEP site. Government regulating agencies like H.P. Pollution Control Board working in the region and more

importantly the people living in the area need to extend their cooperation and contribution in this direction.

It has been evaluated that the study area shall not be affected adversely with the proposed activity, but is likely to get new economical fillip due to hydel power generation, not only for the study area but also for the region as whole.
