EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. INTRODUCTION As a part of an exercise to assess the balance hydro potential of the country, Central Electricity Authority (CEA )identified more than 399 Hydro-electric Projects with probable installed capacity of 1,50,000 MW. After carrying out ranking studies, 162 projects have been identified for preparation of Preliminary Feasibility Reports. Chamba HEP in Ravi basin has been identified as one of these projects for preparation of PFR by HPSEB so that it could be taken up for further development during the 10th & 11th Plans. Chamba HEP is located in river Ravi basin between the longitude 765 - 7609 and latitude 3231 to 3237 in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. Consequently site visits were made to the area by Engineers of HPSEB and Geologists of GSI for identification/selection of suitable site. The intake site of the project is located on Chamba-Bharmour road and the power house site is located on Chamba-Tissa road and all sites of the project will be well connected with roads. 2. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The project has been contemplated as down stream development of Chamera HEP stage-II (300 MW). It envisages utilization of silt free water from TRT of Chamera HEP stage-II through a maximum gross head of 130 m for generation of 126 MW power. This project comprises a intake shaft near village Karian, HRT 6.50 m dia, 10320m in length opening in to 20.5 m dia surge shaft, a 5.30m dia penstock trifurcating to 3.05 m dia each & a surface power house to accommodate three vertical axis francis turbine generating units each of 42 MW installed capacity. The annual power generation from the

2 project in 90% dependable year and 50% mean year will be 646.82 Gwh and 811.20 Gwh, respectively. 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 at Chamba intake site measures 2830 Sq.Km. The entire catchment comprises of mountainous terrain with steep hill slopes. Out of total catchment area of 2830 Sq.km., about 30% area is under permanent cover of snow. The principal tributaries of the Ravi upto Chamba intake site are Kalihan nallah, Budhil nallah, Tundah nallah, Holi nallah and Balij 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 stations 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 Rakh w.e.f. 1972 to 1980, at Janghi w.e.f 1980 to 1985 and at Bagga w.e.f. 1985 to 1997. For water availability at the Chamba intake site, this scheme has been proposed to utilize the water releases from tailrace of Chamera Stage-II which is under operation with NHPC. The design discharge of 127 cumecs has been proposed for carrying out the hydrological and power potential studies of this scheme after maintaining the ecology of river Ravi in down stream of Chamba diversion works by releasing of 15 cumecs from tail water of Chamera Stage-II. Design flood at intake site has been computed based on

3 Flood Estimation Report for Western Himalayan Zone-7. Design flood of 12100 cumecs has been worked out. 4. POWER POTENTIAL STUDIES Chamba Hydro-electric Project has been contemplated to operate in tandem with Chamera Stage-II (300MW) (an upstream scheme) as a peaking station to operate in Western part of North Regional Grid. Installed capacity of the project has been presently kept as 126 MW comprising 3 units of 42 MW each. The project will generate 646.82 GWH in 90% dependable year. 5. POWER EVACUATION ASPECTS The Chamba HEP is being developed between Chamera HEP Stage-I (540MW) and Chamera HEP Stage-II(300MW). The power from Chamba HEP(126MW) has to be evacuated through LILO of 400 KV Chamera HEP Stage-I (540MW) and Chamera HEP Stage-II(300MW) 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 Chamba 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 co-operation 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

4 due to hydel power generation, not only for the study area but also for the region as whole. 7. ESTIMATES OF COST The estimates of cost has been prepared on the basis of CEA Guidelines for Rates and Cost of Civil and Electrical works for Preliminary Feasibility Reports of Hydro-electric Projects received during Oct. 2003. Accordingly cost of project works out to be Rs. 22481.73 lac for civil works, Rs. 14131.38 lac for electrical works and Rs. 1178.47 lac for transmission works based on June, 2004 price level. 8. FINANCIAL ASPECTS The financial & economic evaluation has been carried out as per CEA guide lines considering Interest During Construction (IDC) @10% and interest on working capital @ 9.75%. The life of hydro-electric project has been considered as 35 years. The 630.00 GWH energy units are available at power house bus bars in 90% dependable year and cost per unit at power house bus bars works out to Rs. 1.48 per Kwh in first year. The levelised tariff rate of energy works out to be Rs. 1.17 per Kwh at power house bus bars. 9. CONCLUSION The economy of the Himachal Pradesh is predominantly dependent on agricultural and allied sectors. The electric power being a vital and essential infrastructure, has a significant role to play in economic upliftment of the state. The construction of project will provide employment to the local people. The project will be completed within four and half years period. Being an attractive project, it deserves to be taken up for execution on priority.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.0 2.1 BACKGROUND INFORMTION GENERAL INFORMATION Hydel potential of Ravi basin in H.P. has been identified as 2323.95 MW as indicated in Plate-2.1 for this basin. Bhuri Singh (450 Kw), Baira Suil HEP (198 MW), Chamera Stage-I (540 MW) & Sal Stage-II ( 2 MW) and Chamera Stage-II (300 MW) are under operation at present. The construction works on Hibra (231 MW) renamed as Chamera Stage-III have also been taken up by Govt. of India through NHPC. Construction work of Holi HEP (3 MW) has been got completed by the HPSEB on turn key basis & commissioning of the project is expected shortly. MOUs have been signed with IPP/Central Agency for the projects like SaiKothi, Harsar, Kugti, Bharmour, Budhil, Sal Stage-I, Suil and Kutehr. Presently, two projects namely Chamba HEP 126 MW and Bajoli Holi HEP (180 MW) are under investigation in Ravi basin. The projects like, Bara Bhangahal (170 MW), Chanju Stage-I (25 MW), Chanju Stage-II (17 MW) & Baira Bihali (15 MW) are yet to be taken up for investigation. Chamba HEP (126 MW) is a down stream development of Chamera-II (300 MW). 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

II -

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 Honble Prime Minister of India are as under:Sr.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 2.3 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

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

II -

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 are 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 operational & 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, Chamba Hydro-electric Project is considered very attractive from point of view of deriving benefits during 11th Five Year Plan. The intake site of the project is located on Chamba-Bharmour road and the power house site is located on ChambaTissa road and all the sites will be well connected with roads. The existing communication facilities will be of considerable utility in cutting down the pre-construction time and costs.

GEO-TECHNICAL ASPECTS
GEOLOGY OF AREA AROUND PROPOSED CHAMBA HEP, DISTRICT CHAMBA, HIMACHAL PRADESH 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 Chamba Hydroelectric Project is one such scheme identified in Ravi Basin in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh State. Chamba Hydroelectric Project is a run of the river scheme that envisages diversion of tail waters of Chamera Stage _ II HEP . The diversion structure is proposed to be constructed near TRT outlet of Chamera StageII (300MW) (32o3100N:76o0900E; 52 D/2). The silt free inflow will be further carried to surge tank through 10.32 km long head race tunnel. From surge tank the inflow will be carried to powerhouse located on the right bank of Ravi River near village Rajpura (32o3700N:76o0600E; 52 D/2). The proposed powerhouse would have installed capacity of 126 MW.

4.2

REGIONAL GEOLOGY The area around the proposed project 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 from 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 Lower Permian Late Proterozoic Manjir Chamba Vaikrita -Panjal Traps Katari gali Group --Formation Khalel Salooni Lithology Limestone with calcareous shale and ferruginous clay Calcareous arenaceous slate. Green massive amygdaloidal basic lava flows Dark grey slate micaceous sandstone, quartzite, calcareous siltstone lime Dimictite shale slate sandstone, limestone Slate, phyllite, carbonaceous shaly sandstone limestone,

slate subordinate quartzite In the area around the proposed projects, the rocks belonging to Vaikrita 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. slate/dimictite, The rocks of Chamba Formation are succeeded by an assemblage comprising pebbly phyllite, shale, sandstone and limestone belonging to Manjir Formation. The rocks of Manjir Formation are in turn succeeded by the rocks belonging to Kataria 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 occuring 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 generally various from N20W-S20E to N80 W S80 E with moderate to low dips towards NE or SW. There are two sets of cleavages recorded in the rocks i.e. slaty cleavage and 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 SEISMOTECTONICS 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 along the foredeep and peri-cratonic fills on attenuated continental crust on northern and southern sides, respectively of Delhi-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 upto 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 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 Jwalamukhi 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 Earthquake of 26th April, 1986 and Keeping in view the Chamba Earthquake of 24th March 1995 are other major earthquakes that caused considerable damage in the area. seismotectonic set up and seismic status of the area, it has been kept in Zone-V as per. Map of India 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 the proposed Chamba Hydroelectric project is located in the area exposing the rocks belonging to Chamba Formation. The scheme has been proposed to harness the unutilized head between Chamera stage-I and Chamera stage-II Projects. The project envisages to utilize the silt-free tail race discharge of Chamera stage to produce 126 MW of power. The tailrace discharge of Chamera stage II is proposed to be conducted to powerhouse through balancing reservoir and 10.32 km long HRT. The site of intake structure and HRT are expected to encounter a sequence of slate, phyllite, carbonaceous slate and quartzite belonging to Chamba Formation. The rocks are folded and local faults have been observed. In case of balancing reservoir, it is suggested that structure be designed after assessing the nature of material available in the foundation. Stability

of hill slopes may also be kept in view while deciding the location of structure. The 10.32 km long HRT is likely to encounter slates, phyllite and carbonaceous slates and quartzite belonging to Chamba Fortmation. The rocks in general are expected to be fair to good tunneling media except in the reaches where these are charged with water. Difficult conditions are also expected in the reaches where saturated carbonaceous phyllite are encountered. The proposed HRT shall be crossing Sal River. Adequate cover over the structure be ensured at the crossing. The preliminary layout of the scheme indicates that no intermediate adit has been proposed along this 10.32 km long HRT. This would make working conditions really difficult. Efforts could be made to provide at least one intermediate adit. The powerhouse with 126 MW installed capacity is proposed on the right bank of Ravi near tail of reservoir of Chamera stage - I. It is suggested that availability of bed rock in the foundation and adequacy of space for locating powerhouse and its appurtenants without disturbing hill slopes be ensured. This project site is located in zone V as per Map Showing Seismic Zone of India [IS: 1893 (part-1) : 2002]. the project site. The geotechnical appraisal is based on the regional geological set up without field visit to

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. Chamba Hydro-electric Project is located on the river Ravi, between the longitudes 76-5 to 76-9 and latitudes 32-31 to 32-37 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 of Chamba diversion site measures 2830 Sq.Km. 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. 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 Chamba town, which is 10 Kms downstream of the proposed diversion site. The relative humidity is generally high in the monsoon season, being over 80%. 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 2830 Sq. Kms, and is elongated leaf shaped as shown in drawing No. Chamba-PR-2. In this reach, a good part of the catchment i.e. about 890 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 from 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.

WATER AVAILABILITY Based on available/data of river Ravi at Chamera-II dam site from 19721997 as given in Table 5.1, a flow duration curve has been drawn using Weibulls distribution method. The flow duration curve for (Overall Period) has been shown in Plate 5.1. The curve reveals that 32.51 cumecs of discharge is available for 90% of the period, 79.71 cumecs for 50% of the overall period and design discharge of 127.00 cumecs is available for 39.34% of the total duration of 24 years. A flow duration curve for the lean period flows (Dec. to Feb.) has also

been drawn, and shown in Plate 5.2. It reveals that a discharge of 26.13 cumecs is available for 90% of the total duration during the lean periods and 35.83 cumecs is available for 50% periods. This scheme has been proposed to utilise the water releases from tail race of Chamera Stage-II (300 MW) which is under operation with NHPC. Flow series of 1972 to 1984 in respect of Chamera Stage-II, stands approved by CWC/CEA while according TEC to that scheme way back in Feb., 1985. Presently this flow series has been extended further up to 1997 by using the discharges observed at Bagga (Chamera Stage-II dam site). 4 hours peaking has been proposed in Chamera Stage-II reservoir, which shall be used in Chamba HEP as well. Both the power houses of ChameraII and that of Chamba HEP, will be operated in tandem. In Chamera-II HEP, design discharge of 142.00 cumecs has been8 proposed to be utilised for power generation. To maintain the ecology of river Ravi downstream of Chamba diversion works, a release of 15.00 cumecs from tail water of Chamera-II, has been proposed. Thus, the design discharge of (142.00-15.00) = 127.00 cumecs. has been proposed for carrying out the hydrological and power potential studies in respect of

Chamba HEP. This design discharge of 127.00 cumecs is available in 10 no. ten-daily blocks in 90% dependable year. Availability of design discharge fixed as 127.00 cumecs is about 39.34% in 90% dependable year as shown in Plate-5.1. 5.7 DESIGN FLOOD As approved by CWC/CEA, design flood of 8500 cumecs has been used for carrying out the designs of project components in respect of Chamera Stage-II. Since, for Chamba HEP, diversion has been proposed directly from the TRT of Chamera-II HEP, as such, no diversion structure on the river Ravi has been proposed and flood computations have been avoided. However, by Unit Hydrograph Method based on Flood Estimation Report for Western Himalyas-Zone-7, design flood of 12100 cumecs has been computed. Moreover, power house of this scheme has been proposed at El. 765.00 m keeping in view the down stream storage scheme Chamera Stage-I having MWL of 765.00 m and FRL 760.00m. 5.8 SEDIMENTATION ASPECTS Detailed studies shall be carried out at the DPR stage.

5.9

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,1997. 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.

CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT AND PLANNING
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 127 cumecs of water, from TRT of Chamera-II for generating 126 MW of power in a power house by utilizing a gross head of 130m. The main works of the project comprise a intake shaft, 10320m long head race tunnel, a restricted orifice type surge shaft and a power house to accommodate three vertical axis, Francis turbines driven generating units each of 42 MW. A brief geological site specific feasibility note titled Geotechnical 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 PRELIMINARY DESIGN FEATURES INTAKE SHAFT Silt free water from tail race tunnel of Chamera Stage-II HEP (300 MW)has been proposed to be used by constructing an intake shaft , 15.50m dia. about 100m deep, open to sky, nearly 200m before TRT outlet of Chamera Stage - II. A spill tunnel 6.50m dia., circular, 200m long has also been proposed to lead the spill water upto the Ravi river from the intake shaft. HRT will start at El 883.50m and provision of gates will be made at the intake portals of HRT and spill tunnel.

VI 6.2.2 6.2.2.1 HEAD RACE TUNNEL GENERAL

The head race tunnel 6.50m dia, 10320m long, circular type has been proposed to carry a design discharge of 127 cumecs from the intake 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 location of construction adits 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. 883.50m and at outlet end is El.851.00m resulting in a slope of 1 in 318. Four adits each 6.5m D-shaped at inlet, outlet and at intermediate locations have been provided to facilitate construction of HRT from six faces. The inlet and outlet adits are so provided that they shall separate the construction activity of the head race tunnel from that of intake shaft and surge shaft respectively. Two faces will also be available at the aqueduct near the Sal nallah crossing to facilitate the HRT construction. A pipe aqueduct 70 m long, 6.5 m dia has been proposed to provide crossing of water conductor system across Sal nallah. The layout of the tunnel and other details are indicated in Drawing. No.Chamba-PR-5 6.2.2.2 CROSS SECTION Based on geological, hydraulic, structural and functional considerations, circular cross section, 6.5m dia has been adopted. The tunnel is proposed to be lined with concrete M:20. 6.2.3 6.2.3.1 SURGE SHAFT GENERAL The underground restricted orifice type surge shaft of 20.5m dia and .

100.0m height has been proposed at the outlet end of head race tunnel at

VI - 3 RD 10320m. Top level of surge shaft is proposed at El. 950.00m. The outlet adit of HRT will be utilized to facilitate excavation of surge shaft and horizontal portions of penstock. After execution of the project this adit will be plugged near junction and rest of it will be used as a drainage gallery. General layout and details of surge shaft are shown in drawing No.Chamba-PR-6 &7. 6.2.3.2 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 El. 914.70 m and minimum down surge level asEl. 862.50m. 0.012 and 0.016 respectively. 6.2.3.3 CONCRETE LINING It is proposed to provide reinforced concrete lining for surge shaft. Lateral cover around surge shaft at full height 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. 6.2.4 6.2.4.1 PRESSURE SHAFT / PENSTOCK GENERAL A 5.30m dia penstock with centre line at El.854.25 m will take off from surge shaft for leading the water in to turbines. In the initial 180m horizontal reach, a valve gallery has been proposed to accommodate butterfly valve. The inclined length of main penstock is 220m. Three nos. For calculating maximum upsurge and minimum down surge levels the friction co-efficient have been taken as

VI - 4 branch pressure shaft of 3.05m dia totalling 45m in length , takes off from the main penstock to feed three units in the power house. The entire length of the penstock will be steel lined. Anchor blocks of suitable design shall be provided at selected locations to provide adequate support to the penstock besides the saddle supports at regular interval are shown in Drawing No. Chamba-PR-7. 6.2.4.2 ECONOMIC DIAMETER Economical dia of the penstock has been worked out by cost optimization studies for various diameters. Accordingly, a diameter of 5.3m has been adopted to carry the design discharge of 127 cumecs with velocity of flow as 5.75m/sec. The diameters of branches has been kept as 3.05m. 6.2.5 6.2.5.1 POWER HOUSE GENERAL The proposed power house is located about 2km. d/s of Rajpura village on right bank of river Ravi. This site has been considered suitable for surface power house as per geo-technical appraisal note received from GSI (Ref. Chapter-IV). The tail race channel from power house will discharge the flows back in to river Ravi. The approach to power house has been proposed through approach road 0.50 km long from the existing PWD road. The surface power house will have 3 generating units of 42 MW each alongwith all the auxiliary facilities such as cooling water/potable water system, fire protection system, compressed air supply, oil system, ventilation and air conditioning system etc. The control room, LT room, Battery room, air conditioning plant, offices, cable separating area will be accommodated in different floors and the upstream side of the machine hall. Service bay shall be located on one end of the machine 400 Kv switchyard will be conventional surface switchyard towards the right side of the power house. Main dimensions of the power house upto crane hook will be 57m x 17m x 29m. Electrical control system, panels and offices

VI - 5 shall be located on the upstream side of the power house building. It will be a double storied building of 35m x 7m dimensions. The safety of power house complex from flooding, from tail water end during construction stage will be adequately ensured. 6.2.5.2 TYPE Reconnaissance surveys for location of surface power house were undertaken during the site visits of project area by HPSEB Engineers and GSI authority during 2003-2004 .

Keeping in view the above fact, a surface power house with surface transformer hall has been proposed on right bank of Ravi river. Also the GIS surface 220 KV Switchyard has been proposed keeping in view the terrain and reliability of the system. The detail of power house and single line diagram has been shown in Drg. No. Chamba-PR-8,9 &10. 6.2.6 TAIL RACE CHANNEL The out flow from the end of draft tube will be taken through 3 nos. separate branch tail race channels. Vertical lift gates have been proposed in these branch tail race channels to prevent entry of silt etc. into draft tube and for facilitating repair in turbines. Down stream of this, all the branch tail race channels will be joined to one main tail race channels, 230 m long.

GENERAL Chamba Hydro-electric Project has been proposed as a run- of- the river development for generation of hydro-power on Ravi river in Himachal Pradesh. It has been contemplated to operate in tandem with Chamera Stage-II (300 MW) (an up-stream scheme) as a peaking station to operate in western part of Northern Regional Grid. Installed capacity of the project has been presently kept as 126 MW comprising 3 units of 42 MW each with overall efficiency of generation as 0.92.

7.1

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

24 years discharge data from June 1972 to May, 1997 in respect of Ravi river at Chamera-II Dam site has been used to develop a flow series for Chamba 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 24 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.

Power generation studies in a 50% mean year corresponding to installed capacity varying from 99 MW to 180 MW are given in Table 7.6 The energy generation in 50% mean year corresponding to the installed capacity of 126 MW is 811.20 GWH. The energy generation in 50% mean year corresponding to 95% machine availability works out to be 789.58 GWH as shown in Table 7.7.

7.4

INSTALLED CAPACITY STUDIES Power generation studies for 90% dependable and 50% mean year pattern of flows with installed capacity varying from 99 MW to 180 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. In 90% dependable year fall in incremental energy occurs beyond 120 MW. Moreover the plant load factor for lean season ( Dec. to Feb. ) is 22% for 126 MW. While deciding the installed capacity of the project it was seen that during 90% dependable year (1983-84), minimum available discharge was 32.51 cumecs and design flow was available in ten no. 10 daily blocks. The project has been planned to utilize the available head between two under operation schemes with NHPC Ltd. namely Chamera Stage-II 300 MW (upstream scheme) and Chamera Stage-I (540 MW) down stream scheme. For Index Plan, showing all the three schemes, refer Plate-7.5. This scheme will be operated in tandem with upstream scheme i.e Chamera Stage-II (300 MW) which contemplates a peaking of 4 hours to meet with peaking power shortage in the country. The installed capacity of the project has been fixed at 126 MW with over all PLF of 59%. It was further studied that the minimum discharge during lean season ( Dec. to Feb.) in 90% dependable year is 26.13 cumecs.

POWER EVACUATION
8.0 8.1 POWER EVACUATION POWER EVACUATION ARRANGEMENT The Chamba HEP is being developed between Chamera Stage-I HEP (540 MW) and Chamera Stage-II HEP (300 MW). Due to inhospitable terrain & corridor problem, the power from Chamba HEP (126 MW) has to be evacuated through LILO of 400 KV Chamera Stage-I and Chamera StageII D/C transmission line. 8.2 TRANSMISSION OF POWER It is proposed to evacuate the power generated at Chamba hydroelectric project by LILO of 400 KV Chamera Stage-I HEP (540 MW) and Chamera Stage-II HEP (300 MW) by 10 Kms, D/C transmission line. 8.3 8.3.1 ELECTRO MECHANICAL WORKS GENERAL Chamba Hydel Project envisages utilization of silt free water from TRT of Chamera Stage-II HEP (300 MW) through a maximum gross head of 130 m for generation of 126 MW power in a surface power house near village Rajpura. This project comprises a intake shaft near village Karian. HRT 6.50 m dia, 10320 m long opening into 20.5 m dia. surge shaft, a 5.30 m dia. penstock trifurcating near surface power house with dia. 3.05 m each and a surface power house to accommodate three vertical axis francis turbine generating units each of 42 MW installed capacity.

The project shall utilize silt free water from TRT of Chamera Stage-II with the design discharge of 127 Cumecs. The salient features of Chamba HEP are as under:Design discharge Net Head Installed capacity No. and size of units Type of Power House Cost of Electrical Works: P-Production T- Transmission 8.3.2 SCOPE This project report incorporates the detailed abstract of cost under the head P- Production (Cost Estimate of Electro-mechanical Works for PFR) and T- Transmission (Transmission lines for evacuation of power). For electro-mechanical works, the rates have been adopted as per the CEA guidelines for estimating the cost of E&M Works for the preparation of Pre-feasibility Report of HEPs. 8.3.3 POWER HOUSE The power house site is located on the right bank of Ravi river and is approachable from Pathankot (nearest Broad Gauge Railway station). With the initial specific speed of 222.54 rpm, the region is ideally suited for Francis Turbine. The live storage available is for about 4 hours peaking at Chamera stage II and this project will operate in tandem. Keeping hydrology in consideration, machine size has been kept as 42 MW each. Rs. 14131.38 Lacs. Rs. 1178.47 Lacs. 127.00 Cumecs 110 Meters 126 MW 3 units of 42 MW each. Surface.

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT PHYSICAL RESOURCE HYDROLOGY The area in question is drained mainly by Ravi river. A large number of nallahas drain directly in to the Ravi river. In the proposed project area, Sarontha Nallah and Sal Nallah drains into the Ravi river.

IX 9.2.1.2 GEOLOGY

The area from the confluence of Suil river with the Ravi river south of Bhalai-Koti-Pukhri-Masrund-Kiani, between Chamba-Braur along the Saho Nallha and between Chamba-Gehra- Chatrari along Ravi river is underlain by the interstratified sequence of slate, phyllite, Schist, siltstone, quartzite of the Vaikrita Group. The conglomerate of the Manjir Formation is exposed south of Manjir, a little east of Masrund, between Baraur-Saho and east of the Saho and east of Balu nallah with Ravi River , north of Gehra. Further east Masrund, east of Saho and east of Balu nullah the area is underlain by carbonaceous slate, phyllite, Schistone quartzite, siltstone, limestone/magnesite of the Katarigali Formation. The basic volcanics (Panjal Formation) is exposed as linear belt east of Masrund and Saho and show closure upstream of Kiri nallah. Further east, the carbonaceous shale, state siltstone, phyllite, quartzite and limestone of the Salooni Formation are exposed and show closure upstream of Kiri nallah east of Saho. The Kalhel Chhatri area is dominated by the limestone of kalhel Formation which show closure north of Saho around ShillaGharat area.Further east, the area is underlain by the rocks of Katarigali Formation. Then a big stretch of area extending from a little south of Mangla and Mehla along the higher reaches bordering Kangra District is underlain by granite gneiss and granite. Further west of Rajnagar towards Bhalai, these granites extend as narrow belt. The lithology of this formation is predominantly characterised by intersbedded grey to green malasilt stone, quartzite, slate, phyllite and greywake. In Sangned area, this formation is exposed in a series of low plunging anticlines and synclines with fold axes trending in NW-SE direction. The slate bear limonitic encrustations due to leaching of ferruginous matter. The schist in general consists of quartz, sericite, biotite and chlorite . Chlorite at places is developed as an altered product of

IX -

biotite. Because of highly foliated and jointed rocks, water may penetrate leading to weathering and formation of soil. 9.2.1.3 SOIL No detailed work on soil classification has been carriedout by Geological Survey of India. However, following generalisation can be made regarding the possibility of formation of different type of soils. The area underlain by sand stone, quartzite, siltstone yield sandy soils, those underlain by slate, phyllite, schist or by granite and gneiss yield clayey to sandy clayey soil, while those underlain by a lime stone shale lithoassemblages yield a loamy soil. On the southern aspects, the soil tends to be shallow and dry with numerous out crops of bare rocks. 9.2.2 9.2.2.1 ECOLOGICAL RESOURCE FORESTS The character of the underlying rocks/soil influences the composition of the forest vegetation and its evolution. The intake site of the project is almost barren. There are a few Chil saplings and some bushes. At the site of power house, the land to be used is mostly private. Just below the temple, some forest land will be involved. This land has very poor vegetation. Mainly Dodonia, Thor and some chil plants are present. Drek is also seen. The surface above the head race tunnel is also sparsely covered. There is no natural forest in this area. The sparse vegetation seen is mainly plantation raised by the Forest Department under various schemes. The species is predominantly Chil. The reasons for poor vegetation is attributed to shallow unstable soil and lack of moisture.

IX 9.2.2.2 FLORA AND FAUNA The area of the proposed project is almost barren to sparsely covered. There are almost no natural forests. Most of the vegetation is planted. Some natural associates have also come up. There is practically no wild life in the area.

Some important plant species (tree, shrub and herbs) found in the area and vicinity are as under: S.N. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.3 9.3.1 Common Name Chil Drek Mehndu Basuti Ramban Kasmal Kasmal Datura Botanical name Pinus roxburghii Melia azadirachta Dodonia viscosa Adhatoda vasica Agave americana Burberis aristata Burberis vulgaris Datura metel

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE The climate is in general temperate with well marked seasons. However, there are local variations depending up on altitude and other aspect. The places at higher elevation and on northern aspects are colder than those situated at lower elevation and on southern aspects. The winter lasts from December to February (both months inclusive). March and April are generally cool and bright. The temperature begins to rise rapidly from middle of April to last week of June or first week of July when monsoon breaks. Monsoon continues till the end of August. or middle of September. October and November are comparatively dry but cold.

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. 9.4 9.4.1 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION IMPACT IDENTIFICATION Environmental impacts both direct and indirect on various environmental attributes due to Chamba Hydropower project in the surrounding environment, during construction & operational Phase are discussed. 9.4.1.1 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

IX -

The impacts due to the construction of Chamba HEP and power house installation commence from the exploration activities, construction of 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. Structural, 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 main problem will be posed by the muck generated by excavation of Tunnel. The labour for various activities during the construction phase shall be engaged from the surrounding villages. 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 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 will be

IX -

planned. The effect due to construction phase is however, of temporary in nature and has no permanent effect on environment. Construction Phase Activity Potential Environmental Impact Negligible Dust emission and change in traffic intensity. Soil erosion, run off, increase in traffic, Dust emission Dust, visual and noise pollution Dust and noise pollution Dust, noise and visual impact. Muck generation, Dust, soil erosion, waste water generation and noise Muck generation, Dust, noise and health hazards Dust, noise and visual Dust, noise and visual

Foundation work, piling and construction of check dams. Construction of permanent structures like roads, colony etc Mechanical erection and utility systems. Excavation Construction of approach roads, tunneling works and construction of under ground Power Station Drilling and blasting Dumping Transportation

9.4.1.2

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 execution and after completion are: i. ii. Transportation of excessive solid waste material (muck) Dumping of solid waste material

iii. Removal of temporary facilities, cleaning etc.

IX -

During the project completion, the likely potential environmental impacts are due to dust and noise. Operation Phase Release of water Down stream flow variation Accumulation of back water Accumulation of water Activity Potential Environmental Impact Down stream erosion of River bank and bottom Impairment of water quality Silting in the area of accumulation will be negligible as the source is silt free water

9.4.2

PREDICTION OF IMPACTS The impact during the construction of Chamba 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.

9.4.2.1

IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT. Considerable amount of air pollution will be caused during different stages of construction of tunnels, roads and other operations such as excavation, drilling, blasting, loading and transportation of material. Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) is the main pollutant during construction. Lot 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

IX -

adverse effect on the health of the plants. However, the dust does not travel to longer distance because the project site is located in between hills and V-shaped valleys. 9.4.2.2 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT The noise will be generated at the time of construction of barrage, powerhouse, tunnel 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 to trouncing machinery and vehicular movement in the area. However, these impacts are only localised. 9.4.2.3 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT During the construction of 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., 9.4.2.4 IMPACTS ON FLORA AND FAUNA It has already been mentioned that the area involved has very sparse vegetation. There is practically no wild life in the area. There is no Wild Life Sanctuary or National Park in the Project 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 are useful to mankind in many ways. Every

IX - 10 individual animal, bird or insect has been endowed with 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 Forest land 9.5 R & R ASPECTS Since the Project is using tail race water, there is no storage, therefore, there is no submergence. Hence, no dwellings, houses or hamlets will be submerged. So, no displacement and resettlement is involved. 9.6 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. 9.6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT The EMP is required to ensure sustainable development in the study area of 10 Km radius of the proposed Chamba HEP site. Government regulating agencies like State Pollution Control Board working in the

IX - 11 region and more importantly the people living in the area need to extend their co-operation and contribution in this direction. It is expected 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. Since the Project is utilising the tail race water of existing project Chamera Stage II, water from open catchment is not being utilised. Hence, Catchment Area Treatment Plan does not appear to be prepared. A case will be required to be moved to Govt of India requesting exemption from CAT Plan. 9.6.1.1 9.6.1.1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL 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 site 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. MANAGEMENT AT CONSTRUCTION

IX - 12 9.6.1.1.2 CONSTRUCTION AIR ENVIRONMENT As discussed earlier, construction of Chamba HEP and powerhouse activities will generate large quantities of dust during drilling, blasting, 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. 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. Plantation in the vicinity of the construction area will further reduce the noise levels.

IX - 13 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. 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 protected against 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. MUCK MANAGEMENT PLAN The quantity of muck generated will be very high and management of this muck is very important. The detailed EIA/ EMP which shall be carried

IX - 14 later on will take care of this aspect in detail. The management plan should give design and details of each muck disposal site. Cement Concrete structure should be preferred instead of Wire Crate. 9.7 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 (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

9.7.1

IX - 15 (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 Pre-Feasibility 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 hydropower 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 Chamba hydro-power site.

IX - 16 9.7.2 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 land-use and 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 categories within and in immediate surrounding of the proposed submergence area at FRL.

9.7.3

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE CHAMBA HYDRO-POWER SITE Proposed hydro-power site is located at Chamba in Ravi River Basin in Himachal Pradesh falling in Survey of India topo sheets No.52 D/2, 52 D/3. The proposed project scheme at Chamba 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 12 km in length. The river water will be diverted through the Head-Race tunnel to the Power House for hydro-power generation.

IX - 17

The geographic location of Intake and Power House for this hydro-power site is given here : Intake Latitude : Longitude: 9.7.4 32 31 N 76 09 E Power House 32 37 N 76 06 E

SATELLITE DATA USED Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, IRS-ID LISS III and PAN sensors data of 21st February 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. IRS-1d 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.

9.7.5

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. Subsequently, image classification technique was performed to obtain the land use-land cover categories of the study area. Output maps were composed in the image processing system which provide the land-use / land-cover information along with other interpreted

IX - 18 information such as roads, settlements etc., within the 7 Km radius from the intake site. The location of the diversion structure and power house from the index map provided by HPSEB, Sundernagar was superimposed on the satellite data as well as on the land use - land cover map. Area statistics of different land-use and land-cover categories were generated within the 7 km radius circle from the diversion point on the river. Since the proposed Chamba HEP is run of the river type scheme with no pondage area ( confined to river course only), the satellite data analysis is restricted to the 7 km radius circle around the diversion structure. 9.7.6 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 D PAN + LISS III merged satellite image of 21st February 2002 on 1:50,000 scale covering 7 km radius from the dam site overlaid with FRL , location of dam site and power house. Map 1(b) Shows satellite derived land-use and land-cover map on 1:50,000 scale covering 7 km radius from the dam site overlaid with FRL, location of dam site and power house. Land use /land cover map shows the following categories : Forest (High Dense Forest), Agricultural Land, Open Scrub, Barren, Snow, River Course/ Dry River Bed. Map 1(d) Shows the location of the National parks / Wildlife

Sanctuaries vis--vis the location of the dam/ Power House and 7 km radius from the location of diversion structure .

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY Present analysis is done for the 7 km radius area from the diversion structure ( 7 Km radius) proposed on Ravi river for the development of hydropower. Since the proposed HEP is run of the river scheme, there is no additional area ( submergence are is nil) is submerged other than the river course. Hence, the submergence area is nil. This is a positive sign for the development of the proposed HES.

IX - 20 It is observed that the land-use and land-cover in 7 km radius area surrounding of the proposed diversion structure dominated by barren land which is 6543 ha( 42.51 % ) followed by Open scrub / scattered plantations which is 4043 ha ( 26.27 %) High dense forest is found be in an area extent of 3374ha ( 21.92%) . Agricultural area is present to an extent of 1099 ha scattered mostly along the valley portions of Ravi river and its tributaries. Based on the satellite data, identifiable clusters of settlements were mapped and the area is found to be 159ha. In addition to this, it is found from the satellite data that numerous isolated settlements are present and well spread across the 7 km radius area. It is observed that the concentration of the settlements is high along the roads. There are no surface water bodies other than the river course. The area under river course including dry river bed is estimated to be 143ha. 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 (http://www.unepwcmc.org) regarding Himachal Pradesh State and its National Parks / Wild Sanctuaries, were browsed through. The information at hand is made use in preparing map 1(c) which depicts the latitude and longitude of proposed diversion structure and sanctuaries/national parks. 7 km radius circle around the diversion point is plotted and the radial distance to the various national park/ sanctuary were estimated around the nearest national park/ sanctuary which are of significant only are measured on the map 1(c). The following points are observed NO national park is observed to be located within the immediate vicinity of the proposed hydro electric scheme.

IX - 21 The nearest sanctuaries are Gamgul Saihbehi, Kalatop & Khajjiar, Pong Dam, Kugti which are at a distance of 35 Km, 53km and 55 km and 59 km respectively whose sizes in terms of aerial extent are in the figure 1(c). Since the present scheme does not envisage any submergence are ( run of the river scheme), generally it is least likely to have any significant effect on these sanctuaries. However, the power house of the proposed HES is 12 km away from the western direction from the diversion point. The Gamgul Saihbehi sanctuary is also observed to be located in the same direction at 35 km which is 10885 ha in spatial extent, in the absence of the exact spatial distribution of this sanctuary it is recommended that a detailed analysis may be carried out. 9.7.8 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION Since the submergence area is nil, there is no major problem of rehabilitation and reconstruction aspects involved in development of this site. This is a positive sign for taking this site further up for detailed investigations. The area is highly inhabited and major settlements are spread across the area. Hence , a detailed study on socio-economic impact of the proposed HES may be carried out. The immediate vicinity of the proposed diversion structure is mostly consists of barren and open scrub land with isolated plantations and trees. It is also observed that there exists a dense forest to the tune of 21.92 %. Agricultural crops area is also observed to be significant ( 7.10%) in the immediate vicinity.

IX - 22

Since there is no submergence area proposed for the development of hydropower site , and also the nearest sanctuaries are Gamgul Saihbehi, Kalatop & Khajjiar, Pong Dam, Kugti which are at a distance of 35 Km, 53km and 55 km and 59 km, there may not be any significant impact of development of hydropower site on these sanctuaries. However, a detailed analysis with respect to Gamgul Saihbehi is recommended.

ECONOMIC EVALUATION
13.0 GENERAL Chamba Hydro- electric Project has been contemplated as a run of the river development on Ravi river in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. This project is estimated to cost Rs. 377.92 Cr. at price level of June, 2004. The cost at power bus bar worksout to Rs. 366.13 Cr.Abstract of cost estimate of Civil works, P-Production and T-Transmission have been given as per Annexure13.1-(a) to13.1-(c). Year wise phasing of expenditure for capital required on this project is given as per Annexure-13.2. Interest during construction has been considered as per Annexure- 13.3. Depreciation on Civil and Electrical works has been worked out as 3.00% as per Annexure13.4.The levelised tariff of energy generated at power house bus bars has been worked out as Rs. 1.17 per unit during 90% dependable year as per Annexure-13.5. The cost of energy in the Ist year of operation works out to Rs. 1.48 per unit. 13.1 CAPITAL COST OF THE PROJECT Abstract of the capital cost of the project, to the price level of June, 2004 is as under: -

XIII - 2 S.No. Description 1. 2. Unit-I Civil works P-Production (Electrical works) Total Generation Cost 3. Transmission Grand total 13.2 ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION Chamba HEP has been conceived in between Chamera-I and Chamera-II HEPs which are presently under operation with NHPC Ltd. and power therefrom is being evacuated through 400 KV D/C line upto PGCIL substation in the Northern grid As laid down in CEA and CERC Guidelines, economic justification of a hydel project is to be done by comparing cost of alternative source of energy in that region. The levelized tariff of this project in 90% dependable year works out as Rs. 1.17/unit at power use bus bars as per Annexure-13.5). This project will provide power at cheaper rates in comparison to thermal power rate which, at present is more than Rs.3.75 / unit. Additionally this project will provide pollution free power for years together at much cheaper rates considering the escalation in coal prices for Thermal Power. 13.3 CAPITAL STRUCTURE Capital structure has been assumed as 70% debt from Financial Institutions and 30% equity from Govt. Amount (Rs. in lac.) 22481.00 14131.38 36613.10 1178.47 37791.58

XIII - 3 13.4 REVENUE ANTICIPATION Power tariff for supply of power at powerhouse bus bars has been assumed as Rs. 2.75 per unit. Revenue has been assessed accordingly for 90% dependable year as Rs. 173.25 Cr. 13.5 REPAYMENT PERIOD Normally, the leading financial institutions in India prescribe a repayment period of 15 years including 3 to 4 years moratorium period. A period of 12 years has, therefore, been taken into account, as repayment period for fixation of tariff. . 13.6 COST PER MW The estimated cost of the project at June, 2004 price level is Rs. 377.92 Cr. including transmission and Rs. 366.13 Cr. at power house bus bars for an installed capacity of 126 MW. This gives a capital cost of Rs. 3.0 Cr.per MW of installed capacity including cost of transmission and Rs. 2.90 Cr. per MW at generation. At present price level, the cost of medium hydroelectric project at Rs. 6.00 crore per MW is considered to be reasonable. From this criterion, the cost per MW for Chamba Hydel Project is reasonable, making the project suitable for exploitation. 13.7 INTEREST DURING CONSTRUCTION The detail of expenditure during the construction period and the calculation of interest during construction has been shown in Annexure-13.3. It is seen that IDC @ 10.00 % on loan works out to Rs. 41.97 at power house bus bars.

XIII - 4 13.8 ENERGY AVAILABLE FOR SALE As per power studies of the project, the total energy generation in 90% dependable year has been arrived at 646.82 MUs. As per Govt. of India Guide Lines, an auxiliary consumption @ 0.7% and transformation losses @ 0.5% have been considered at power house bus bars . 13.9 RATE OF DEPRECIATION As per the revised guidelines circulated by Govt. of India, Ministry of Power, Vide notification dated 29th March, 1994, the weighted rate of depreciation has been worked out on the basis of straight line formula. The rate of depreciation works Annexure-13.4. 13.10 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES As per the guide lines of Ministry of Power, Govt. of India, the Operation and Maintenance charges inclusive of insurance have been taken as 1.50 % of the capital cost. 13.11 CALCULATION OF TARIFF Calculation of tariff for primary energy during 35 years of operation for 90% dependable year has been worked out as per GOI guidelines and shown in Annexure-13.5 comprising the following. i) ii) Interest on loan from PFC @ 10.00 % p.a. Interest on working capital @ 9.75 % required for 2 months of average billing for sale of electricity and operation & maintenance expenses for one month. out to 3.00% of the project cost as per

XIII - 5 iii) iv) v) O&M charges including insurance charges @ 1.5% p.a. Income tax @ 35% and surcharge @ 10% on income tax has been considered. Discounting rate @ 12% for tariff calculation .

At power house bus bar, it will be seen that sale rate of power shall be Rs. 1.48 per unit during Ist year of operation and Rs. 0.71 per unit during 13th year i.e after repayment of loan. The levelised tariff rate works out to Rs. 1.17 per unit at power house bus bars. 13.12 INDIRECT BENEFITS Besides providing pollution free power at a cheap rate to the Northern Grid; discussed in preceding paras, this project, located in Chamba district of HP, will help in the overall development of the people of the area.. Employment to skilled/non-skilled labour of the area, industrial and economic development are additional benefits from this project. Keeping these points in view, this project merits consideration for an implementation. 13.13 MERITS OF THE PROJECT Chamba HEP (126 MW) is a down stream development of proposed Chamera-II HEP (300 MW). Following are the strengths and weaknesses of the project. i) ii) iii) Project sites are located on the right bank of existing motorable road. No major resettlement of people is required for construction of project. Construction material is locally available.

XIII - 6 iv) Almost all the major sites of the project viz. intake, inlet portal and adit portals of HRT and power house are connected with motorable road. v) The levellised tariff works out to be Rs. 1.17 per unit at power house bus bar which is on lower side. 13.14 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE The construction of the project has been proposed to be completed in four and half years. The construction schedule has been presented in drawing No. Chamba-PR-12 .
