(Table 7- g) - MITIGATION MEASURES FOR NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND MONITORING INDICATORS Subprojects/ activities Negative Impacts Mitigation Measures Monitoring indicators Construction/ Infrastructure Induced Degradation 1. Drainage line treatment 2. Soil and water conservation Link road 3. Storage facilities 4. Marketing facilities Water Harvesting 1. Village Pond 2. Irrigation Channel 3. Water Supply through Soil loss during the construction of engineering structures and quarrying for stone and other materials Siltation of water bodies downstream during the construction of engineering measures. Maintenance of the structures will require additional responsibilities to the stakeholders. Low quality constructions may lead to failure and more hazards in downstream Destabilization of the land and soil erosion/landslips along the road cuttings. Siltation of water bodies downstream due to runoff. Destruction of local flora during road construction and also along the roads. Construction of the structures may cause some soil erosion. Deterioration of cultural institutions (such as barter systems, helping attitude etc.) • More labour/money is required to maintain the water structures. • Water logging due to improper drainage. • Water pollution through deposition of waste materiel due to public use. • Health impacts due to breeding of mosquitoes. Treatment of the destabilized sites through vegetative measures, jute netting, etc. Marginal groups should be given priority in the local employment generation. Quality of constructions should be ensured to reduce the failure and more hazards in downstream. Proper designing and planning for road construction/laying will stabilize the land and reduce soil erosion/landslips. Bio-physical measures to rehabilitate disturbed land to check soil erosion. Use of land not suitable for other productive purposes may be brought under infrastructure activities. Preference to marginal groups in employment engraftation. Incentive to ideal persons to promote and uphold the culture and strengthening of local institutions to deal with antisocial activities. • Soil conservation measures around the structures (bio-engineering measures). • Disposal of waste water away from the ponds and proper drainage • Regular disinfections by chlorination and use of filters will reduce chances of water borne diseases. Conservation of soil measured by stabilized erosivity, gullies etc. Reduction/increase in the frequency of slope slippages , debris flow, swollen streams, flash flood in downstream Increase/decrease in water yield in the downstream sources and duration of water discharge Increase/decrease in number of link paths Availability/non-availability in off-season food products Increase / decrease Productive land use for infrastructure Improvement in incomes of vulnerable groups (child labour) and leisure time. Increase /decrease in nutrition and education levels Increase/decrease in water use efficiency for all activities e.g., household consumption, irrigation, drinking, etc. Increase/decrease in irrigated area
