7 A. Subproject Description I. Background 1. The Strategic Cities Development Project under the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development (MM&WB) has been initiated by the Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) in response to the current urban problems and the emerging needs of a Middle Income Country. The total project cost amounting to US$ million is co-financed by the GOSL with US$ million and the IDA credit facility of US$ 147 million is managed by the World Bank (Project ID: P130548). The Galle City Region Development and Kandy City Region Development are the initial components of SCDP, and additional financing was provided to support the Jaffna City Region Development. 2. The above objective is to be realized through developing a system of competitive and strategically linked cities of Sri Lanka to improve urban services and public urban spaces contributing to improved livability and investment attractiveness. This concept of systemic urban development underscores triggering strategic or purposive linkages between and among the selected cities towards achieving the stated development outcomes of the project over and above the physical outputs and thereby contributing to cause or reinforce positive impacts. In this connection, the cities are placed within a framework of City Region instead of confining interventions to administrative boundaries of the local government authorities under whose jurisdiction the cities are situated. 3. The Kandy City Region Urban Interventions under SCDP supports priority improvements to relieve traffic congestion and upgrade municipal services to enhance livability and to sustain the world heritage city and its agglomeration areas. This component includes urban services improvements and public urban spaces enhancements of Kandy City Region. Among the interventions undertaken are: (i) traffic improvements, such as the rehabilitation of selected by-pass roads, and establishment and improvement of selected public transport facilities and traffic management measures; (ii) augmentation and rehabilitation of Kandy municipal water supply system; (iii) rehabilitation of major drains; (iv) urban upgrading, including the enhancement of selected streetscapes and public spaces, restoration and adaptive reuse of historic and landmark buildings, and development of an integrated master plan. 4. The Jaffna City Region Urban Intervention aims to expand urban services delivery, improve drainage systems and revival of archaeologically significant sites through key urban interventions. These include: (i) urban upgrading and restoration of important cultural heritage sites, including enhancement of public urban spaces, restoration and adaptive reuse of historic and landmark buildings, (ii) connectivity improvements such as rehabilitation of link roads, public transport and traffic management measures, and (iii) Drainage and stormwater retention ponds improvement to reduce flooding and increase retention of stormwater. Furthermore, the project would support capacity building for project implementation and technical assistance for selected interventions for Jaffna city-region development. 5. The Galle Strategic Cities Development Project focusses on the priority improvements to reduce flooding, and upgrade public urban spaces to improve and sustain the City Region. This component includes: i. Flood reduction measures, including the rehabilitation of selected canals and surface drainage infrastructure; ii. Coastal erosion reduction measures for selected areas; iii. Urban upgrading, including the enhancement of selected streetscapes and public spaces, restoration and adaptive reuse of historic and landmark buildings, and development of an integrated master plan. II. Proposed Intervention Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 6

8 6. The drainage system in Galle municipal area comprises a network of large and small open canals and marshy land. The drainage network of the city consists of three major streams- Moragoda Ela, Moda Ela and Kepu Ela. The drainage network is managed by the Galle Municipal Council except for Moragoda Ela, which is managed by the Provincial Irrigation Department (PID). These streams take the excess stormwater from cross-drains, which are fed by the outflow from roadside drains, into the sea. Water in these streams is polluted, with wastewater and solid and liquid waste coming from the city centre and residential areas. The Galle drainage system is poorly maintained, partially lined and in most of the sections have insufficient capacity to transfer stormwater. The existing rainfall retention areas are disappearing rapidly due to landfill and construction of houses and commercial buildings. 7. Under the proposed sub-project, the following activities have been prioritized: i. Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela ii. Reconstruction of Bridges across Moragoda Ela iii. Improvement of Moda Ela and Kepu Ela iv. Improvement of Cross Drains connected to Moragoda Ela v. Improvement of Cross drains linked to Moda Ela and Kepu Ela vi. Conservation of eight water retention areas 8. There are 24 cross drains linked to Moragoda Ela. These cross drains have a major role in flood mitigation and drainage improvement in the Moragoda Ela basin as well as in the Galle city. Improvement of Cross Drains connected to Moragoda Ela has been segmented into six separate packages/ sub-projects for the convenience of implementation as well as by considering the engineering and management aspects such as avoiding traffic congestion during construction, easy management of construction and to facilitate for the engagement of local small-scale contractors. Figure 1 shows the Moragoda Ela, and the 24 cross drains connected to Moragoda Ela in package wise. Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 7

9 Figure 1: Moragoda Ela and the Cross Drain Packages 9. The existing drainage system Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela cross drains-package B of Galle City is an open canal system comprising two cross drains. They are the open drains of Bombe Castle and Hiribura. These two cross drains cut across the Grama Niladhari Divisions (GNDs) of Maitipe, Maligaspe west, and Deddugoda North and Deddugoda South. 10. The two cross drains are laid on a flat ground profile, and the gradient of the cross drains are very low. The drain cross-section survey carried out by design consultant shows that the bed level of Bombe Castle drain varies between 3.2 m to -0.5 m above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The bed level of Hiribura cross drain varies from -0.3m to 1.2m MSL with a low gradient. 11. The Bombe castle drain that starts from Labuduwa road near Karapitiya bus station flows through Maitipe GND of Kadawasathara Divisional Secretariat Division (DSD). The chainage from m to m of the drain section is already constructed with covered concrete drain, and therefore no intervention from the SCDP is required. However, after that, the drain passes through residential areas (0+097 m to m) and paddy fields (0+301 m to m). This paddy land consists of both cultivated and abandoned paddy lands. The two retention areas which are identified to develop under SCDP s Galle drainage components are located within this area. The drain flows through the residential areas in Maligaspe West GND and connects to Hiribura drain at chainage m (near Richmond city). The connecting point of the two drains is a marshy land. One retention area of the Galle drainage component is located at this point. After merging the two drains at Richmond city area, it links to Moragoda Ela near Didiswatta. Therefore, the water flow of both drains is significantly affected by the tidal effects and the water level of Moragoda Ela. This tidal effects and the water level of Moragoda Ela retard the conveyance of the flood flow of both sections of the drains. 12. There are eight pipe culverts across Bombe castle drain of which seven culverts have to be replaced with box culverts. The wastewater and sewerage water of Karapitiya hospital is discharged to the Bombe castle at chainage m which has caused unpleasant environment and health problems to about ten households located in the vicinity. This section of the drain had been rehabilitated as an open concrete drain using government funds by Galle - Kadawathsathara Divisional Secretary s office in July 2016, but it is insufficient for the efficient conveyance of the water flow. The access road and the Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 8

10 drain section have to be rehabilitated for better conveyance of the flow and to minimize inconveniences caused to the community. 13. The Hiribura cross drain starts from Hirubura junction and passes through residential areas of Deddugoda North GND. Thereafter it passes through commercial areas and crosses the Hiribura cross road at chainage m. From m to m, the drain section runs through the residential areas in the Deddugoda South GND and beside the Galle Municipal Council (GMC) road. The drain section from m to m (where it merges with Bombe castle) runs through a marshy land. There are five existing pipe culverts which need to be replaced with box culverts for the smooth flow of water. There is a temporary bridge constructed over the Hiribura drain at chainage m to provide access to Dombagahaliyyadda road which requires improvements to enhance the connectivity. 14. The catchment area of the Bombe castle and the Hiribura drains are changing rapidly due to extensive construction of houses and other commercial buildings. The marshy and low-lying areas, which are unsuitable for construction purposes have been filled up with soil resulting in the loss of water retention capacity of the catchment area. As a result of increasing built-up areas, the infiltration of rainwater is less while the runoff is quick and high. Hence the existing drain becomes incapable of transferring the flood flow, even during a low rainfall resulting in flooding in the area. There is no proper maintenance of the drains. Since the drain flows through areas with high population density and urban areas, the drain also gets easily polluted. Non-decaying pollutants like plastic bags, cans, bottles get entrapped and act as a barrier for free water flow, and further contributes to the deposit of more pollutants. Also, some of the pollutants add nutrients to the water weeds which enhance the trapping of the solid pollutants. It is also observed that vegetation at drain banks affects the smooth flow. Hence, proper maintenance of the drain, preserving the retention areas, improving the drain banks, identifying proper locations for smooth flow conveyance are essential for sustainable flood mitigation. 15. The overall objective of the proposed project is to initiate a sustainable solution for preventing flooding in the area. During flood affected periods, properties and assets of the people get damaged causing not only financial problems but also disturbance to normal lives of the people. Once the flood is gradually drained off, severe health and sanitation issues and water-borne diseases like fever, diarrhoea, Hepatitis, Dengue etc., and many kinds of skin diseases spread over causing a vulnerable situation in the area. According to the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) in GMC, a considerable percentage of dengue prevention costs in GMC area is spent in the surrounding areas of Bombe Castle, and Hiribura drains. The groundwater table is comparatively high in this area, and the overflow of toilet pits creates severe health and environmental problems. 16. The main Project Partner Agency (PPA) of cross drain rehabilitation is the Galle Municipal Council (GMC). The Lanka Hydraulic Institute (LHI) is the design consultant of this subproject. 17. The design width of the rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela cross drains is shown in Table 1. The resettlement impacts were identified in places where the design width exceeds the existing Right of Way (ROW). The design width of the drains is also not consistent and varies as shown in Table 1.

11 III. Significance of the subproject 18. The rehabilitation of the cross drains is necessary because of the following reasons. The existing drainage system of Galle City has not been systematically designed to carry stormwater. Water in these drains is polluted, with wastewater, and solid and liquid waste coming from the city and residential areas. Galle drainage system is poorly maintained, partly lined and at most of the sections have insufficient capacity to transfer stormwater. Available rainfall retention areas are disappearing rapidly due to landfill and construction of houses and commercial buildings. 19. The condition of Bombe Castle and Hiribura drains significantly contribute to flooding near the Karapitiya bus station, Peter Kiringoda road, Dombagahaliyadda area, Hiribura junction and Hiribura crossroad near Galagediya junction during the rainy season. The Galle - Hiribura - Baddegama road which connects some small towns and transportation services between Hiribura-Baddegama, Karapitiya- Kalegana and Karapiptiya-Ambalangoda are disturbed during the flooding of Hiribura cross drain at Hiribura junction and near Karapitiya bus station. The records of the Southern Province Passengers Transport Authority reveal that nearly 60 public transport buses use this road in a day. A considerable number of other types of vehicles also use this road. 20. The Hirbura crossroad also goes under floods at Galagediya junction during heavy rains and significantly impacts on the public transportation on the Hiribura crossroad. The road provides connectivity to Galle town and the following peripheral cities of Galle: Galle to Yakkalamulla, Akuressa Galle to Mapalagama Galle to Yakkalamulla Galle to Waduramba, Baddegama Galle to Waduramba, Yakkalamulla Galle to Thalagaha Galle to Pitigala Galle to Karapitiya via Richmond Kanda 21. The road also provides access to distant areas, such as Kataragama, Tissamaharama, Hambantota etc. In addition, it provides access to important institutions, such as Karapitiya Hospital, Medical Faculty, Labuduwa Agricultural farm, Provincial administrative complex, Agrarian service centre, Labudoowa Siridhamma School and seven other leading schools in the city. According to the records of the Southern Province Passengers Transport Authority, nearly 75 turns of public transport buses drive on this road per day. A considerable number of other types of vehicles also use this road. 22. The Peter Kiringoda road which connects with Anagarika Dharmapala road and Maitipe road get flooded due to the overflow of Bombe Castle drain during heavy rain, and it disturbs the day to day activities of residents of the area. The residential area of Dombagahaliyadda goes under water due to flooding from the two drains. 23. This drainage system is now dilapidated, has failed sections, eroded banks, and bottlenecks due to silting. The tidal effects and the flood level of Moragoda Ela retard the drainage system of Bombe Castle, and Hiribura drains. In addition to stormwater, wastewater and sewerage water are discharged to this drain system by the residents of either side without first being adequately treated for effluents. Frequent floods during the rainy season are a common experience. The drains are highly polluted, prone to floods and a potential health hazard.

12 IV. Scope of Proposed Civil Works 1) Bombe Castle Drain 24. The rehabilitation of the Bombe castle drain subproject involves: (a) de-silting and deepening, (b) concrete lining of drain bed and walls at identified places, (c) replacing seven pipe culverts with box culverts, (d) reconstruction of damaged common structures up to better condition, and (e) earthen embankment protection for selected drain stretch. 2) Hiribura Cross Drain 25. The rehabilitation works involve: (a) de-silting and deepening, (b) concrete lining of drains beds and walls, (c) construction of house access, (d) reconstruction of damaged boundary walls of project affected persons (APs) at identified places, (e) replacing five existing pipe culverts with box culverts and (d) rehabilitation of temporary bridge at Dombagahaliyadda Road. 26. The estimated cost of the drain rehabilitation is SLRs 144 million and will be implemented by Strategic Cities Development Project under the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development. The project Partner Agency (PPA) is Galle Municipal Council (GMC). The project is scheduled to be implemented over a period of 12 months beginning November The proposed rehabilitation activities of the cross drains are explained in Annex 1. V. Socio-Economic Profile 27. The project impact area of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains- Package B is the GNDs of Maitipe, Deddugoda South, Deddugoda North, and Maligaspe of Kadawasathara DSD. The population of Maitipe and Maligaspe is predominantly Sinhalese, and the Muslims represent the majority in Deddugoda North. The population of the four GNDs is about 8,520 and the total number of households is 1,857. Table 2 presents the demographic profile of the GNDs that fall within the project impact area.

15 B. Legal and Regulatory Framework 32. The rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela cross drains - Package-B requires the acquisition of private land, partial demolition of a few residential and commercial structures and partial and full demolition of auxiliary structures owned by private households. The land acquisition process will be governed by the Land Acquisition Act No.9 of 1950 while the compensation for acquired properties and loss of other properties will be paid as per the provisions in the Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of 2013, National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001, the World Bank s Operational Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement, and the Resettlement Policy Framework prepared for the overall project. These instruments will also help to ensure that the rights of project affected persons (PAPs) are not violated and that they are not impoverished in the course of subproject implementation. This ARAP is prepared in compliance with those policies. I. Land Acquisition Act No. 9 of The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 as amended in 1986 provides for the acquisition of private land and servitudes for public purposes. It provides the payment of compensation at market rates for lands, structures and crops. The LAA gives directives for the acquisition of land in the public interest and provides benefits to both titleholders and non-titleholders.

Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008, issued under Section 63 (2) (f) of LAA 1950 and came into effect on 17 March 2009 incorporate provisions for statutory payments for compensation. It provides provisions for compensation beyond market value by incorporating: compensation for injurious affection and severance (equivalent to the full cost of damage based on the market value of land acquired), disturbances (in terms of Section 3.11, principle based on the value to owner of the property affected as per the written claims submitted by the AP: Gazette notification No.1596/12 of ), reconstruction costs calculated without depreciation, valuation of the affected plot of land at proportional unit cost, together with compensation for business losses and relocation. II. Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of The Regulations of 2013 provides for a comprehensive compensation package following the land acquisition. The 2013 Regulations permitted development projects to be designated as specified projects by the Ministry of Lands with the ratification of the Parliament of Sri Lanka. SCDP has been recognized as a specified project by Cabinet Paper Ref. No. 15/0773/614/022 dated 24th June The specified projects qualify to establish Land Acquisition and Resettlement Committees (LARC) in the divisional secretariat divisions where the persons affected by land acquisition can make their representations. Affected parties also have the opportunity to appear before the LARC proceedings and those dissatisfied with LARC decisions on compensation may appeal to the Super LARC established at the national level. 36. The LARC system provides a mechanism for the parties affected by land acquisition to appeal for a higher compensation if they were dissatisfied with the statutory compensation paid to them under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of The LAA of 1950 provides only a limited appeal process for aggrieved parties through the Land Acquisition Review Board (LARB) which is hardly accessible to many affected parties (APs) particularly the poor and vulnerable due to cost and time. Instead, the LARC established at divisional secretariat level and chaired by the divisional secretary is easily accessible to APs where he/she will be given an opportunity to make their representations during LARC proceedings. Participation in LARC proceedings has a minimum cost to the APs, and he/she can present their grievances and needs before the LARC committee. The LARC is constituted by the Divisional Secretary or Assistant Divisional Secretary of the relevant Divisional Secretary s Division, the Surveyor General or his nominee, the Chief Valuer or his nominee and an officer not below the rank of the Assistant Secretary nominated by the Minister to whom the subject of the respective specified project has been assigned. LARC offers an exgratia package of compensation which among others include compensation for land, encroached state land, paddy land, buildings and structures, rent-controlled premises under the Rent Act, loss of business and livelihoods, allowances for vulnerable families, loss of wages and employment, ex-gratia payments Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 15

17 for handing over possession of property before the deadline, payments for relocation and self-relocation etc. III. National Involuntary Resettlement Policy The National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) 2001 represents a significant milestone in the development of a systematic approach to addressing resettlement issues in Sri Lanka. The Policy thus ensures that (i) project affected persons are adequately compensated, relocated and rehabilitated; (ii) delays in project implementation and cost overruns are reduced; and (iii) better community relations are restored. It aims at ensuring that people affected by development projects are treated in a fair and equitable manner, and ensuring that they are not impoverished in the process. The Policy also enables establishing the framework for project planning and implementation that would meet international best practices in involuntary resettlement. The responsibility for reviewing and approving RAPs is vested with the Ministry of Land and Land Development. 38. The main principles of NIRP that apply to the present project are as follows: Avoid, minimize, and mitigate negative involuntary resettlement impacts by reviewing alternatives to the project Ensure that the affected persons (APs) are fully and promptly compensated and successfully resettled, their livelihoods are re-established, and their standard of living is improved Assist the APs in dealing with psychological, cultural, social, and other impacts caused by compulsory land acquisition and resettlement A commitment to gender equality and equity. Affected persons should be fully involved in the selection of relocation sites, livelihood compensation and development options at the earliest opportunity. Establish an accessible grievance redress mechanism in each development project. Resettlement should be planned and implemented with the full participation of the provincial and local authorities. Participatory measures should be designed and implemented to assist those economically and socially affected to be integrated into the host communities. Resettlement should be planned as a development activity for the affected persons. Affected persons who do not have title deeds to land should receive fair and just treatment. Vulnerable groups should be identified and given appropriate assistance to improve their living standards. Project Executing Agencies should bear the full costs of compensation and resettlement. IV. Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP/BP 4.12) 39. The World Bank operational policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) seeks to: (a) avoid where feasible or minimize involuntary resettlement, exploring all viable alternative project designs; (b) if not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programmes providing sufficient resources to enable the displaced persons to share in project benefits; (c) ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (d) meaningfully consult the displaced persons and provide them with opportunities to participate in the planning and implementation of resettlement programmes; (e) assist the displaced persons in their efforts to improve their standards of living or at least to restore them, in Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 16

18 real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. 40. The policy covers both direct economic and social impacts that are caused by involuntary taking of land, resulting in (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) loss of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihoods, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location; or (iv) the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. 41. In order to address the above impacts, the policy requires the borrower to prepare a resettlement plan that includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are (i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (ii) consulted on, offered choices among various resettlement options, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and (iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. 42. The policy requires that if the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan should include measures to ensure that displaced persons are (i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and (ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors are at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. Furthermore, they should be offered (i) support for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihoods and standards of living; and (ii) development assistance in addition to compensation measures such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. Particular attention should be paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. 43. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. 44. Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (i) livelihoods are land based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (ii) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (iii) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. 45. The policy also requires that compensation and other assistance required for relocation be paid and completed, prior to displacement and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been provided to the displaced persons. 46. Displaced persons eligible for compensation would include (i) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); (ii) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and (iii) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 47. The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) prepared under SCDP is in compliance with both the national regulations as well as World Bank s OP 4.12, and accordingly requires that all social safeguards interventions will follow the guidelines stipulated in the RPF. Accordingly, this Abbreviated Resettlement Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 17

19 Action Plan (ARAP) guided by the RPF, incorporates measures that will be taken to ensure that those affected by the project are informed, consulted and provided compensation and other assistance at full replacement cost for losses attributable to the project. The ARAP includes an Entitlement Matrix (EM) that sets the parameters for providing compensation for persons affected by the project, including compensation for loss of land, structures and other assets at replacement cost as determined by the LARC. 48. Whereas LAA remains the main legal procedure for acquiring private land required for the Project, the affected persons and households will receive compensation and resettlement benefits as per the Entitlement Matrix given in this ARAP irrespective of their title or occupancy status before losing shelter, business, assets, and incomes due to this subproject. Specifically, the EM presents the categories of affected persons eligible for compensation and their corresponding losses. 49. The ARAP was developed based on a census survey conducted with persons/households affected by land acquisitions and consultations conducted with relevant stakeholders. Land acquisition process for this subproject including payment of compensation due to PAPs is scheduled to be completed by 31 st August Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 18

20 C. Subprojects Impacts and Mitigations Measures I. Impact of Land Acquisition and Resettlement 50. This chapter describes the resettlement impacts to be caused by land acquisitions for the subproject. The social impact assessment was conducted based on the surveys described in Table 6. Table 6: Details of survey plan with number and dates Bombe Castle Drain Hiribura Cross Drain Advance Tracing Number: GA/GFG/2017/645 Survey Requisition Number: DA/GFG/L&L/05/90, /33 Advance Tracing Number: GA/GFG/2017/515 Survey Requisition Number: DS/GFG/L&L/05/89, /26 Advance Tracing Number: GA/GFG/2017/826 Survey Requisition Number: DS/GFG/L&L/05/100, /26 Source: Department of Surveys 51. The total extent of the land to be acquired for the subproject is perches (0.367ha) (109 land lots) of which perches (0.253ha) (81 land lots) is owned by 52 households and perches (0.115ha) (28 land lots) by three different government institutions (NHDA, RDA and GMC). 1) Acquisition of private land 52. The land use pattern of the properties to be acquired from households is shown in Table 7. There are 81 land lots owned by 52 private households. Of these 81 lots, 53 lots are used for residential purposes and as home gardens by 39 households. Three other households use their respective 03 land lots for both residential and commercial purposes. Another household uses their land lot for agricultural purposes. There are also another 23 land lots owned by eight households which are vancant/unused plots. The remaining 1 household uses its land lot as access road to their house. Though the land acquisition causes loss of the existing access road to the household, an alternate access road can be established in the remaining portion of the land without any significant change to the existing land use pattern of the remaining land. Table 7: Land use pattern of the affected households Land use No. Lots Land extent (in perches) No. PAPs Residential and home gardens Residential and commercial Vacant and not used for any productive purpose Cultivations Access road Total Source: Survey Plan, July Specifically, the losses incurred by the 52 households (189 persons) from land acquisition includes: (i) partial damages to two residential dwellings; (ii) partial damages to three commercial buildings; and (iii) full damages to 49 auxiliary structures of 24 residential dwellings. Furthermore, land acquisitions will also cause removal of 88 timber and fruit-bearing trees belonging to 23 out of the 52 households and the loss of an access road to one household. In addition, a fish vendor will be temporarily affected due to canal construction work (described later in paragraph 59), whose household comprises 3 Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 19

21 members. All affected households are titleholders. Besides these losses, the acquisition process will not result in physical displacements or relocation of the affected households. 53. Compensation for loss of built structures, livelihoods, trees, and the access road will be determined by LARC at replacement cost as per the Land Acquisition and Payment of Compensation Regulations of 2013 and the RPF prepared for SCDP. Transfer of the government land to the subproject referred to above will not cause any loss of built structures. Table 8 summarizes the impacts of land acquisition on the 52 households. Table 8: Impact of land acquisition Impact No. Units No. Affected households Partial damages to residential structures 2 2 Partial damages to commercial structures 3 3 Full damages to auxiliary structures 45 Partial damages to auxiliary structures 4 24 Loss of standing trees Loss of access road Source: Census survey of PAPs August For the 52 private landowners with ownership of the 81 land lots, the extents of land to be affected by acquisition is less than 11% of the total land owned by the respective landowners which will not have a significant impact on their total land assets. Table 9 presents the impacts of land acquisition on private land (additional details are provided in Annex 2). Of the 52 PAPs, 32 will lose less than one perch 2 of their land; 10 PAPs will lose 1-2 perches; 8 PAPs will lose 2-5 perches, and two PAPs will lose more than five perches. Among the latter, one PAP, however, will lose 22.4 perches of his total land extent of 600 perches which is less than 4% of his total land. The second PAP will lose 5.01 perches of land out of his 220 perches of land which is 2.3% of the total land he owns.

Accordingly, 14 PAPs will lose less than 3% of their land; 15 PAPs will lose 3%-5% of their land, and 22 PAPs will lose 5% to 8% of their land. One PAP will lose more than 10% of his land (i.e perches out of 28 perches of residential land). A summary of losses is given in Table 10, and details are provided in the inventory of losses in Annex 2. Cash compensation for the acquired land will be paid at replacement cost as per the LAR 2013 and the RPF prepared under the Project. 2 1 perch equals to sq ft.

The subproject also requires acquisition of additional 28 land lots (45.38 perches/ 0.115ha) which are vested with three government agencies (Table 11). Of them, 02 land lots (22.9 perches/ 0.058ha) are vested with the National Housing Development Authority (NHDA). This land being marshy remains unused and does not have any built structures within its boundaries. The Road Development Authority (RDA) owns another 2 land lots (0.36 perches) which is used as part of public roads. The Galle Municipal Council (GMC) owns the balance 24 land lots of which 23 lots (19.54 perches/ 0.049ha) are used for public roads and drains while the remaining lot (2.58 perches/ ha) is open land. According to government regulations, the land being vested with state institutions is not required to follow the regular process of land acquisition. Instead, the ownership of the required land will be transferred to the Galle Municipal Council (GMC) through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between GMC and the landowning agencies. Common utilities such as roads and drains built on the land will be affected/damaged during project s construction work. The project will restore these common utilities within the remaining portion of the land to facilitate their uninterrupted functions prior to the commencement of civil works of the subproject.

Impacts on Residential, Commercial and Auxiliary Structures 1) Impact on residential structures 56. The acquisition of land for Hiribura cross drain will cause partial damages to two residential dwellings. They include damages to the rear extension wall of the house belonging to PAP No. 33 and the staircase of the house belonging to PAP No.38 (See annex 02- IOL). At present, the staircase is outside the main building, and the support column of the staircase and part of the staircase canopy will be damaged under the project. Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 21

23 57. Both these affected parties will be able to remain within their dwellings during construction without relocation. Any construction-related impacts to these two households will be mitigated as per the SIMP designed for the subproject (See Annex 06). Cash compensation for the restoration of the structural damages will be provided at replacement cost as determined by the LARC. The damaged structures will be restored within the remaining portion of the land. The PAPs will be given two months of advance notice to construct the new wall, staircase column and the canopy prior to the demolition of their old structures. The social development officer of PIU in Galle assigned to this subproject will regularly monitor the restoration work. 2) Impact on commercial structures 58. There are three commercial structures which are extensions of the owners respective residential dwellings. Specifically, these commercial structures are owned by three different individuals. The roofs of these three extended commercial structures will be partially damaged under the sub-project. However, these partial damages will not affect the stability of the main structure and the ongoing economic activities will remain intact. All the three PAPs, who run retail outlets in these buildings, can continue to engage in their businesses during the construction period. The damaged sections will be rebuilt within the remaining portion of land after acquisitions. Furthermore, the project will pay compensation for land and the damaged structures at replacement cost. In the event of their business activities being interrupted leading to loss of incomes either during the demolition of the structures or their restoration, the PAPs will be eligible for livelihood assistance as provided in the Entitlement Matrix and the resettlement budget of the ARAP. The livelihood assistance grants will be calculated on the basis of net monthly incomes of the PAPs, (as per their claims made by the PAPs during census and further verified through circumstantial evidence) for a period not exceeding 3 months. The social development officer (SDO) of PIU in Galle assigned to this subproject will closely monitor the impacts of structural demolitions and restoration work on the livelihoods and incomes of the three PAPs. 59. A fish vendor (squatter) occupying road side open space (around 6.0 sqm) at the Galagediya junction of the Hirubura cross drain, will be temporarily affected during civil works of the subproject. The daily net income of the fish vendor is approximately SLR 2,500/- as reported in the census administered as part of this ARAP. During subproject implementation, the vendor has opted for self-relocation within 25 m of his current business location for which the GMC has granted approval. The fish vendor uses a moveable structure made out of wood, which can be easily shifted to the relocation site. Once the rehabilitation work is completed, the fish vendor has the option of continuing his business activities in the same relocated site or to return to his original business location. The social development officer (SDO) of PIU in Galle assigned to this subproject will closely monitor the impacts of relocation on the business and incomes of the fish vendor. In the event of any reported or observed business/income losses of the fish vendor, he will be paid one-time cash grant calculated on the basis of his net daily income of SLR 2,500 for a period not exceeding 20 days, provisions for which are made in the Entitlement Matrix and the resettlement budget of the ARAP. 3) Impact on auxiliary structures 60. Land acquisitions for cross drains will affect another 49 auxiliary structures associated with residential dwellings of 24 project affected households (PAHs). Of the 49 auxiliary structures, 45 would be fully affected, and four would be partially affected. These affected auxiliary structures are summarized in Table 12 while Annex 2 provides details of the affected auxiliary structures of the individual PAPs.

The damaged structures or facilities will be reconstructed by the affected parties within the remaining portion of the land utilizing the cash compensation paid to them. In the event of any vulnerable households being unable to restore their demolished/ damaged structures on their own, they will be assisted by the members of the Local Resettlement Committee (LRC, a committee constituted by the representatives of the PAPs to liaise between the PAPs and the project on resettlement issues) and a mutually agreed course of action will be decided in consultation with those vulnerable households. Since a majority of the affected auxiliary structures such as toilets, toilet pits, kitchens, bathing places, access roads etc. are essential for the daily lives of the PAPs, the project will ensure that those structures are reconstructed and fully restored prior to the commencement of the civil construction work. The old structures will be demolished upon completion of the new structures. The project, having consulted and agreed with the PAPs, will grant sufficient time for the PAPs to reconstruct their structures before the commencement of the civil works. 4) Impacts on Standing Trees 62. The affected private land lots identified as home gardens and agricultural lands contain mixed crops with the characteristic of low country wet zone vegetation. The census survey identified fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing trees with economic value and bushes grown in the affected land. Altogether, 88 trees and bushes will be cut down for drains rehabilitation. All affected trees are located only along the Hiribura cross drain. The common perennial crops are coconut and areca nut. Specifically, 32 coconut trees belonging to eight PAPs and 34 areca nut trees belonging to 12 PAPs will be cut down for the Hirbura cross drain improvement. The total market value of the trees is estimated at SLR 725,500. The details of the affected trees are summarized in Table 13 while Annex 2 presents the details. Cash compensation will be paid for the lost trees based on their replacement cost, which takes into consideration their market value, productivity of the trees, their life cycle, lost incomes from trees and the timber value. The provisions for compensation are included in the EM and the resettlement budget. The compensation will be paid prior to the commencement of civil works.

Temporary impacts from construction-related civil works of the rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - (Package B) are also anticipated. Such construction-related impacts may include access difficulties, the safety of pedestrians, traffic congestion, disturbances to common utilities, dust, noise and labour influx and management. A Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) prepared by the project (see Annex 06) to address those civil works related impacts will be implemented by the contractor. The SIMP will form a part of the contractual agreement. Both SCDP and GMC will closely monitor the effective and efficient implementation of the SIMP and the compliance of the contractor and the staff involved. 3 The estimation of the value of coconut trees is based on the rates provided by the Coconut Cultivation Board and the valuation of other fruit bearing trees is done with the guidance issued by Department of Agriculture concerning the timber value of trees as well as age and yield of trees. The rates provided by the Timber Corporation are used to estimate the value of the non-fruit bearing trees on its timber value. Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 24

26 III. Census of Project Affected Persons 65. The census survey covered 53 project affected households (PAHs) which included 52 titleholder household and one squatter, who is a fish vendor. The Inventory of Losses (IOL) was prepared based on the results of the census. No government institutions were included in the census survey. 66. Table 14 presents a socio-demographic profile of the project affected persons. The total population of the 53 PAHs is 192 with 56% males and 44% females. The age structure of the household population indicates that 62% of the population fall in the years of age category, followed by 25.5% between 0-15 years and 12.5% over and above 60 years. Except for the population below five years, adult population is literate. More than half the population had attained GCE Ordinary Level, GCE Advanced Level or higher education. 67. There are 7 families supported by women and not having able bodied male members who can earn; therefore these 7 families are considered as vulnerable families among the project affected persons. Of them, three households will be affected by the damages caused to their auxiliary structures. The Entitlement matrix of the ARAP provides for special assistance for the affected vulnerable households.

The beneficiary households of this subsidy scheme are those dependent on labour work and agriculture-related work. 70. The monthly incomes of 17% of the project affected households are less than SLR.10, 000/- per month. The monthly earnings of 20.7% households are between SLR. 10,000/ to SLR.25, 000/-. Another 41.5% households receive monthly incomes ranging from SLR.25, 000/- to SLR. 50,000/. The rest 20.8% earns more than SLR. 50,000/- a month. More than 60% of the households are dependent on monthly fixed incomes exceeding SLR. 25,000/-. There are seven households (13.2%) headed by women. Figure 4 illustrates the income levels of the PAHs.

28 D. Eligibility, Compensation and Resettlement Assistance 71. The Entitlement Matrix provided in the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) outlines various types of losses resulting from land acquisition and provides for compensation and resettlement & rehabilitation (R & R) assistance for various categories of affected people. The Matrix applies to all subprojects entailing involuntary resettlement impacts irrespective of the size of the sub-project and the extent of the impact. The A-RAP incorporates the provisions from the entitlement matrix which are relevant for the proposed subproject. If at any stage of the sub-project, additional resettlement impacts are identified, the A-RAP will be updated by the SCDP to make provisions for mitigating such impacts with compensation and R&R assistance in line with the Entitlement Matrix and the updated ARAP will be submitted for Bank s approval before its implementation. 72. This Matrix has been prepared considering various categories of losses and impacts identified during the social assessment, which is summarized in Table 16 below. This Matrix is based on applicable Sri Lankan laws, the NIRP and complies with the World Bank s safeguard principles of OP 4.12, the RPF prepared for the Project. The Entitlement Matrix offers compensation at replacement cost for loss of land, built structures, livelihoods and incomes, and standing trees, as well as for the restoration of community facilities, and provisions for mitigating project related temporary impacts. 73. Parties entitled for compensation under the project can be individuals, households, families or communal groups. The Entitlement Matrix of this ARAP considers affected categories of persons/households to determine their entitlements. If more than one person claims legal or customary ownership to the same property or resources, the compensation for such properties or resources will be shared between owners, as specified in the RPF for the Project. 74. Any person or household, or community who suffers the loss of land, shelter, business, and incomes because of the project impact is eligible for receiving compensation and/or R&R assistance at replacement cost to offset such losses enabling restoration of living conditions to a state better or equal to the pre-project situation. The eligibility is determined by social impact assessment conducted while preparing the A-RAP and approved by the PMU. In case of titleholders, eligibility is determined by reviewing the title deeds or other ownership documents recognized under the law. 75. The cut-off date for eligibility for entitlements is the first day of the census survey conducted based on the detailed measurement survey and/or the Date of Notification under the Section 2 of LAA for the titleholders. The cut-off date will be publicly announced, and widely disseminated. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off-date are not entitled to claim compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. Fixed assets such as built structures or planted trees after this date will not be covered and compensated. The census survey for this subproject was completed on 31 st August 2017, and only one non-titleholder was identified. The cut-off date for titleholders was 27 th April 2017, the date on which Section 2 notice under LAA was issued. The land acquisition process gets initiated soon after the Section 2 of the LAA is triggered. This largely serves an administrative purpose of identifying the landowners. However, acquisitions will be finalized only after receiving clearance for the ARAP and cash compensation at replacement cost is paid in full together with other resettlement assistance 76. All involuntary land acquisitions will be compensated at replacement cost as per the LAA-1950, and LA Regulations of 2013 that include cost of replacing assets calculated based on market value, transaction costs, interest accrued, transitional and restoration costs, and any other applicable payments. The PAPs will be assisted to reestablish their living standards (affected shelter and incomes) to a level higher or better than their living conditions before the project. 77. The auxiliary structures to be demolished such as toilets, toilet pits, house accesses etc. are essential parts of the daily lives of people. Therefore, it is necessary that these auxiliary structures are replaced with new structures before the demolition of the old/existing structures. The PAPs will be Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 27

29 allowed 2 months after the full payment of their due compensation to re-construct their auxiliary structures in the remaining portion of the land.

32 E. Consultations I. Stakeholder Consultations 78. During project planning stage and in the preparation of the ARAP, the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development, and the staff of SCDP (Both at PMU and PIU) conducted several stakeholder consultations since the year II. Public Consultations on Moragoda Ela Cross Drain Rehabilitation-Package B 79. Stakeholder consultations for the Galle drainage component including cross drains rehabilitation were carried out with the political authority (Parliament members of Galle district, cabinet ministers, provincial council members and GMC members), government officers and community members and PAPs both at individual and group level. A summary of the consultation outcomes is presented in Table 17. Individual consultations were conducted with 66 persons who included among others the PAPs. The number of participants at the two community consultations was 31 (see Annex 5 & 6 for lists of participants). Community coordinators (representatives of the community) were nominated during the consultations by the participants for coordination and liaison with the community, SCDP and PPA during the implementation of the subproject. Table 17: Summary of Community Consultation Outcomes on Cross Drains - Package -B SN Issue Discussed Participants comments Response from the project 1 Increase of flooding Hiribura junction gets frequently flooded during the rainy season. Participants requested to improve the roadside drains and divert excess water to Moragoda Ela (near Kahaduwawatta bridge) and not to connect roadside drains to Hiribura drain. Subproject designers decided to delink the connection of roadside drains from Hiribura drain 2 Land acquisition for drain widening 3 Public inconveniences 4 Public properties would be damaged with drain improvement 5 Proper maintenance system 6 Unanticipated damages for private properties during construction When widening the drain, acquire equal width of land strips from both sides of the canal for development purposes. Cover the drain near the residential areas (0+097m to m) for safety and to prevent bad odour from Bombe castle canal. Improve the access road adjacent to Bombe castle drain (0+197 m to m) Need a mechanism for drains maintenance Will civil works impact on adjoining private properties during the construction period? The participants were informed that the design had taken the community views into consideration and the hydrological requirements. Subproject s design includes the covered drain section for the chainage (0+097m to 0+297m) Improvements to the road section have been included in the design SCDP will facilitate GMC to prepare a strategy for the canal and drains maintenance under its capacity development component - Community members will be informed about the construction activities after finalizing the design. - Third party insurance will be a part of contractor s agreement and it will cover any unanticipated damages and accidents to both structures and people. Affected parties will be compensated if such damages occurred Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 31

33 SN Issue Discussed Participants comments Response from the project 7 Dumping of debris on private land 8 Damages to public properties 9 Reconstruction of damaged private structures During the previous canal rehabilitation work, debris was dumped into private land and not removed after the construction work. It created severe environmental and health issues. Participants requested not to dump the debris into private land. Canal improvement should not affect the width of the access roads. Will the damaged structures have to be reconstructed by the affected parties? Temporary dumping site on government land at Maligaspe and a permanent dumping site at Kehelhena 10km away from the site were identified. Proposed development activities will improve the road width and surface of the road adjoining the canals. Damaged structures will be reconstructed by the PAHs with cash compensation provided to them. Any vulnerable households who are unable to attend to the restoration work will be assisted by LRC. Compensation for damaged structures will be paid at replacement cost as determined by the LRAC.

Dissemination of ARAP 81. The ARAP will be disclosed in local languages (Sinhala and Tamil) as required by the safeguard policies of the WB and the GOSL and disseminated to the public. The ARAP will be disclosed at SCDP s website ( as well as World Bank InfoShop after getting clearances from WB and links will be published on public media. II. Maintaining Information Profile 82. The PIU/Galle collected information from PAPs through census survey and during the community consultations and developed a database including maps and photographs. The database will be updated by the PIU in periodic intervals and will be used for implementation and monitoring of the ARAP. III. Grievance Redress Mechanism 83. Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRMs) are institutions, instruments, methods and processes by which a resolution to a grievance is sought and provided. Grievances are inevitable when complex projects are implemented, and PAPs or groups should be provided with an institutionalized GRM for them to submit their grievances and obtain redress. A project-specific GRM has already been established at four levels to resolve the issues raised by the PAPs. All PAPs will be informed of the availability and functioning of the GRM through leaflets printed in local languages and handed over to individual households, and through the members of the LRC and during community consultations. 1) Grievances redress at field level 84. A Social Development Officer of SCDP will be responsible for addressing the grievances at the field level, i.e., at the sub-project site. All grievances can be lodged both verbally and in written form. A log book will be maintained at the construction site and the Grama Niladari offices of both Deddugoda North and South to record grievances. A verbal grievance can also be communicated to the social development officer and the GNs of Deddugoda North and South. The project also welcomes grievances communicated in anonymity, and these will be recorded and addressed accordingly. Wherever required, the social development officer (SDO) and the GNs will retain the anonymity of the aggrieved parties. The social development officer will be located at 2 nd Floor, Middle Shopping Complex, Talbert Town, Galle. The telephone and other contact details of the SDO will be shared with community members and displayed at construction sites. The SDO will take immediate action to resolve the issues raised by the Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 34

36 PAPs. If the SDO is unable to resolve the grievances within one week, it will be forwarded to the next level, which is Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of Strategic Cities Development Project. 2) Grievance redresses at PIU level 85. The GRC at PIU level will comprise a representative from GMC, two community representatives of PAPs, Grama Niladaries of the subproject impact area, contractor s engineer and APD/SDO who will function as Secretary to GRC. The GRC will meet bi-monthly or more frequently, depending on the number of grievances received from the site level. The PIU level GRC is responsible for solving grievances within one week. The PIU level grievance committee is located on the 2 nd floor, Middle Shopping Complex, Talbert Town, Galle. 3) Grievance redresses to PMU level 86. If a PAP was not satisfied with GRC s decision or else PIU level GRC is unable to solve the problem at their level, the grievance could be submitted to the Project Director (PD). The PD, in consultation with the PPAs/PIU concerned at PMU level will decide on the resolution for the grievance. The PMU is located on the 4th floor, Sethsiripaya, Stage 01, Battaramulla. The PD will give his/her decision within one week of receiving the grievance. 4) Independent Grievance Redress Panel (IGP) 87. If the PD s decision is not acceptable to a PAP or PD is unable to resolve the grievance, PAPs can appeal to the Independent Grievance Panel (IGP) established at national level. The meetings of the IGP will be held at MM &WD. The IGP comprises representatives from the Land Ministry, Department of Valuation, a lawyer, a retired senior government officer, and a representative of a recognized Civil Society Organization and/or a person representing the PAPs. The IGP will be chaired by the Secretary to MM & WD. IGP will give the decision for grievance within two weeks of receiving the grievance. Thus, the PAPs have four project-based grievance redress mechanisms to resolve their grievances. The PAPs will not be charged any fees related to grievance redress by the Project based GRM. If the PAPs were not satisfied with the project based GRM or any of its levels, the PAPs could approach the Mediation Boards (Samatha Mandala [SM]), established under the Ministry of Justice to seek redress. The PAPs will also have the option of resorting to legal action via the court system. 88. Figure 5 shows the structure and the flow of the GRM of SCDP.

38 G. Monitoring and Reporting 88. The monitoring and reporting system is integral to social safeguards, and the project will establish a monitoring and reporting system for ensuring efficient and effective management of social safeguards. The social development officer (SDO) assigned to the subproject will make weekly monitoring visits to the subproject sites. The SDO will also function as the community liaison officer for the subproject and communicate any community concerns and issues to the Deputy Project Director at PIU, Galle and the Deputy Project Director (Social) at PMU. The DPD (Social) will also conduct monthly meetings at PIU to review the progress of ARAP implementation and report the status to the Project Director. 89.

40 I. Resettlement database 91. All information related to land acquisition, socioeconomic information of the PAPs, inventory of losses of individual PAPs, compensation & entitlements and payments and reconstruction-related activities will be collected and computerized by the PIU. This database will be the baseline for monitoring and safeguards management. The External Monitor of social safeguard will also monitor the implementation of ARAP with a specific focus on the following. i. Review and monitor the overall implementation progress and performance of the Abbreviate Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP). ii. Determine the level of compliance of the implementation of ARAP with the policies of the World Bank and the Government as defined in the project s RPF, and recommend corrective actions to improve implementation and management, as required. iii. Monitor the progress of land acquisitions, payment of compensation and resettlement processes and its compliance with both RPF and the ARAP. iv. Assess the overall adequacy and the effectiveness of the safeguard measures adopted to restore and improve the livelihoods, living standards and the overall wellbeing of the project affected persons, households and communities and provide recommendations on additional safeguard measures required. Rehabilitation of Moragoda Ela Cross Drains - Package B 39

41 H. Resettlement Budget 92. The Department of Valuation is responsible for the valuation of land and structures and to decide on the statutory compensation. The compensation for all losses will be based on replacement cost. However, the following benchmarks have been used for preliminary assessments. Compensation for all structural damages is based on the rates provided by the Building Department whereas the land values are calculated at the current market values. The estimation of the value of coconut trees is based on the rates provided by the Coconut Cultivation Board. The rates provided by the Timber Corporation are used to estimate the value of the timber trees. The valuation of other trees has been assessed with the guidance received from the Department of Agriculture. 93. The total compensation for acquired land, structural damages, trees, livelihood support, progress monitoring etc. is SLR million which is equivalent to the US $ million (at an exchange rate of 1US $= SLR. 150).
