Environmental audit of Santacruz - Borivali fifth railway line project
India
The Mumbai Urban Transport Project will involve laying of additional railway lines and road widening and expansion at selected areas. This consolidated environmental impact assessment consists of the results from 1) Sectoral Level Environmental Analysis (SLEA) for four strategic transport options for Mumbai Metropolitan Region identified as part of the Comprehensive Transportation Study; 2) Programmatic Level Environmental Assessment (PLEA) of generic sub-projects; and 3) Micro-level Environmental Assessment (MLEA) for sub-projects likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. Environmental Management Plans are prepared for mitigating and managing potential adverse environmental impacts identified in SLEA, PLEA, and MLEA, and they are accompanied by institutional and reporting framework. The most critical environmental issues identified are ambient air quality, noise pollution, and land degradation. Various regulatory, policy, and administrative measures will be formulated and implemented to mitigate adverse environmental impacts. Stringent emission standards and the use of clean fuel will be enforced to reduce air pollution. Noise level will be monitored and noise barriers will be built to reduce noise level. In terms of ecological impacts, development regulations to contain growth in ecologically fragile areas will be enforced.
