The bowl like, mountain –girdled state in the eastern Himalayas bordered on the west by Nepal, on the north by Tibet, on the east by Bhutan and the south by Darjeeling district of the West Bengal, lies between 27 0 to 280 north latitude and 880 to 890 east longitudes. The Sikkim is the youngest and small hill state of India having an area of 7096 Sqkm. Sikkim is surrounded by important mountain ranges. The chola range of mountains on its east forms the watershed between it and Bhutan on one side and chumbi valley of Tibet on the other. The well-known singalila ridge is of the great Himalayas peaks. Sikkim is divided into four districts. The most populated area is the Eastern district, which contains the capital town Gangtok followed by Southern and Western districts. The northern district is sparsely populated because of its inhospitable climate and steep ridges. Lying along the slopes of Himalayas between Tibet and plain of India, cut off from the rest of the world by mighty mountains, Sikkim’s scenic beauty has no parallel in the East Sikkim’s historic past, mystic religion, sublime monasteries and age old rituals have an attraction hardly to be found anywhere else in the world. Sikkim is mountainous terrain with cliffs and valleys. Dominating both legend and landscape is the mighty massif of Kanchendzonga known to the outside world as Kanchenjunga, it is the third highest peak in the world, towering at 8550 meters. Sikkim is drained by number of Perennial Rivers. However, the two main river systems are Teesta and Rangit. The other entire stream eventually joins one or the other. Rangit 10 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) also joins the Teesta just near the broader between Sikkim and West Bengal at Melli. Besides the river, there are number of lakes and hot springs which add to the beauty of the region. The important hot springs are Phut sachu, Raeong sachu, Yumthang and Momay. 2.1.2 Topography Geographical area of Sikkim State is about 7300 sq. km. The maximum horizontal length from north to south is about 112 Km. whereas the maximum width from east to west is 90 Km. The Tibetan Plateau on the north, Nathula and other passes on the north east, Bhutan on the south east, Darjeeling district of West Bengal on the south and Singalila range of Nepal from the boundaries of this picturesque Himalayan State. It is a hill state having no plain area. The altitude above mean sea level varies from 213m in the south to over 8500m in the northwest. The Khangchedzonga, the third highest peak in the world at an elevation of about 8550m adorns the state with its beautiful range covered with shining snow. Gangtok, the capital is about 1677m above mean sea level. The northern part of the state is cut into deep escarpments. The northern part is not populated except in Lachung and Lachen valleys. Southern Sikkim is, however, more open and fairly well cultivated. 2.1.3 Rivers The river Teesta is one of the main Himalayan Rivers, which originates in the glaciers of Sikkim at an elevation of over 8500m above mean sea level. River rises in mountainous terrain and is formed mainly by the union of two hill streams Lachen Chu and Lachung Chu at Chungthang in North Sikkim. After the confluence of Lachen Chu and Lachung chu at Chungthang, the river gradually increases in width and takes a wide flowing down to Singhik, dropping in elevation from 1550m to 750m. At Singhik, the river receives one of the its major tributaries, the Talung chu on its right. Tolung Chu originates from the Talung glaciers, which are the part of the Khangchendzonga range. From Singhik, the rivers flow towards Dikchu in a very deep valley and drops from 750mto 550m. From Dikchu the river flows in a big curve again down to the Singtam with a drop of about 11 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 200m. The Rongnichu, which drains the Changu lake area joins Teesta from left at Singtam and the river receives Rangpo Chu at Rangpo. After Rangpo, Teesta start widening rapidly and is joined by the great Rangit at Melli bazar on Sikkim – West Bengal border. 2.1.4 Communication By Air Bagdogra is the nearest airport of Sikkim. There are regular scheduled flights operated by the Indian airlines and other private airlines between Calcutta, the capital of West Bengal and Bagdogra and also between New Delhi and Bagdogra. Jeep taxis are available outsides Bagdogra airport for Gangtok. Gangtok is 124 kms from Bagdogra and the journey takes about 4 hours by jeep and 5 hours by bus. By Rail /Road The two closest railway stations to Gangtok are Siliguri junction, (Meter Gauge) which is 114km away and New Jailpaiguri (Broad Gauge), which is 125km away. A number of trains are available for Calcutta, Delhi, Guwhati and other important cities of India. Besides jeep taxis, Sikkim National Transport and other private buses ply regularly between Sikkim and Siliguri. 2.1.5 The Project 2.1.5.1 Background In order to exploit vast hydro potential in the country and to achieve the ideal hydro thermal mix of 40:60, the Honourable Prime Minister of India had launched a hydroelectric initiative on 24th May 2003 to develop 50,000MW hydro power potential in the country. Accordingly, based on the results of the preliminary ranking studies of Central Electricity Authority, 162 hydroelectric power schemes with estimated installed capacity of 50,560MW were selected in 16 states for preparation of Pre Feasibility Reports. The work of preparation of PFR’s was entrusted by Ministry of Power under overall 12 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) coordination of CEA to NHPC Ltd, SJVN Ltd, NEEPCO, WAPCOS, KPCL, HPSEB and UJVN Ltd as consultancy work. NHPC was entrusted a total number of 43 schemes of 21345 MW comprising of 7 schemes in Indus -Jhelam Basin J&K, 25 schemes in DihangDibang-Subansiri Basins Arunachal Pradesh, 1 scheme in Narmada Basin Madhya Pradesh and 10 schemes in Teesta Basin Sikkim. The Lingza is one of the such scheme for PFR. 2.1.5.2 About The Project The project is located on the river Ringpi chu in Dzongu area of North district of Sikkim. The headquarter of the district North Sikkim is at Mangan. The project involves construction of a 75m high concrete dam, a 4.0 Km long headrace tunnel and an underground powerhouse with an installed capacity of 120 MW. The project shall generate 477 MU of energy in a 90% dependable year. The dam site is located about 5.0 Km u/s of the confluence of river Ringpi Chu and Rangyong Chu.and 6.0Km u/s of village Lingza. The underground powerhouse is located about 750 m u/s of the confluence of Ranyong Chu and Ringpi Chu near the place called Chhana. The village Lingza, nearest to Power house site, is well connected from Mangan by 17 km long state PWD road. 2.2 POWER SCENARIO AND EXISTING INSTALLATION 2.2.1 Power System In India The Power System in India has grown from small, isolated stations, serving limited consumers in and around large cities, into large regional Power Grids. The generating capacity installed in the country has already grown to 107903.53 MW by March 2003. For the purpose of system planning and operation the country has been divided into following five geopolitical regions: Northern, Western, Southern, Eastern and NorthEastern regional power grids and the transmission system are being progressively interconnected for efficient operation of these five regional grids. 13 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) The objective of the system development is to evolve self-sufficient regional grid catering to the individual regional power demands. It is also aimed at achieving the maximum benefits from integrated operation, through a proper mix of thermal and hydro generation and ultimately to tie the five regional grids together to form a strong National Power Gird, providing even greater reliability. The proposed Lingza Hydro electric project located in north Sikkim is envisaged to feed power at a pooling point near Teesta III H.E. Project (Approx 2 Km from Teesta-III) via one double circuit line. 2.2.2 Power Position in North Sikkim Region. The total installed capacity in Eastern Region is 16696.68 MW.Out of this only 2459.51 MW is hydel installation. Thus the Hydro-thermal mix is 15:85, which is well below the national average of 25:75 and desirable ratio of 40:60. The power supply position for Eastern region during 10th and 11th Five Year Plans is summarised in Table2.1. The power and energy availability and requirements during and after 10th Plan period in the Eastern Region is shown in Tables as projected in the 16th Electric Power Survey, published by CEA. Even considering the coordinated operation of existing hydro and thermal stations, as well as benefits from ongoing projects and also from the schemes cleared by CEA, the Eastern region is expected to face peak power and energy deficits during most of the 10th five Year Plan. The power situation in the region is dynamic and it is expected that the power generated from this project shall be cheap and helpful to the region as compared to thermal and other expensive power in the region. 14 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 2.2.3 Existing Power Installations In Sikkim First time, a micro hydel station was established in Sikkim on the bank of Ranikhola at Lower Sichey Busty with an installed capacity of 10 KW on 27th May 1927 for the needs of the members of the Royal family and Gangtok. Later, Lower Lagyap Hydel Project with an installed capacity of 12MW was constructed by Govt. of Sikkim and this was a big boom. Presently following hydel schemes totaling 95.70MW are under operation in the state. Sl.

Approximately 11% of the total geographical area is under agriculture. The work force participation rate as per 2001 census is 48.52%. The female participation rate in Sikkim is also much higher than the national average. This is an important aspect of the hill economy, as productivity is low and hence all the able-bodied people are employed in agriculture and other activities. Cultivators account for the greater majority of the people in the State. Animal husbandry is an integral part of the house hold economy of the region. There are certain household industries also which substantially adds to house hold incomes. The past one and half decade has witnessed a tremendous upward swing in various development programme giving a new thrust to the Sikkim economy. This process has increased wage employment opportunities. The area in the vicinity of the project is populated. The human settlements are scattered and the human population as per the 1991 census up to different aerial distances from the project are given in below. Table 3.1: Human settlement and Population around the project vicinity Item Up to 2 km from Up to 2-5 km Up to 5-10 km Population Nil 527 2369 Households Nil 118 448 19 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 3.2.2 Ethnographic details (Details of the tribals in the area) In Sikkim various communities with their own customs, religion and culture intermingle freely to constitute a homogeneous blend. The predominant communities are the Lepchas, Bhutias and Sherpas. Lepchas , Bhutias, Sherpas are categorized as Scheduled tribes. The Lapchas are the original inhabitants of the state. Compared to other ethnic groups, the Lapchas still maintain many of their traditional ways. The Bhutias comprise, the sikkimese Bhutia and Bhutia from Bhutan and Tibet. The Sherpas are a marginal ethnic group in the state. Over 80% population consists of Nepalese. Many people from the plains have also settled, espically in urban areas. 3.2.3 Health & Education There are 4 district hospitals, Gyalshing, Namchi, Singtam & Mangan and one Central Referral Hospital at Gangtok, besides 25 Primary health centers 150 Primary health sub centre, 9 Veterinary hospitals and 25 Veterinary dispensaries. There is a blood bank at Gangtok. There are 1234 doctors. Small pox and Kalzor have been eliminated from the state and many schemes for the provision of safe drinking water to the villages and bazars have been implemented. Sikkim has 700 Pre-nursery schools, 531Primary schools, 122 Middle schools, 64 Secondary schools, and 28 Higher secondary schools 2 Public schools. There is a Training Institute for primary teachers, a Law college, a B.Ed. college, 2 Degree colleges, one Industrial Training Institution, a Medical and an Engineering college. 3.2.4 Religion Hinduism and Buddhism are the two main religions prevalent in Sikkim. Hindus and Buddhists constitute 99 percent of the population; Christians, Muslims, Jains and Sikhs together are less than one per cent. 20 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 3.2.5 Trade & Industry Sikkim has a State Industrial Development Investment Corporation, which is encouraging establishment of industrial units in Sikkim. The Industrial Training Institute located at Rangpo is providing necessary expertise to the younger people for self- independence in the trade and the know-how. Sikkim has two distilleries , one tannery, and other ancillary units. Rangpo area has been declared as an industrial Zone. A Brewery is located at Melli, South Sikkim. and another at Rangpo, East Sikkim. There is also a fruit preservation factory at Singtam. The Sikkim Mining Corporation mines copper, zinc, lead etc in the state. The Sikkim Time Corporation a watch- manufacturing factory is located at Gangtok, which is producing one of the latest watches in India. There is a jewel factory located at Gangtok. Besides the above a good number of entrepreneurs have recently proposed to set up new factories. Some of the units are manufacturing leather goods, safety matches, local crafts, carpet weaving, handmade paper, woodcarving and similar works. The Sikkim State Tea Board has also been established for quality tea production. 3.2.6 Natural Resources Sikkim is gifted with abundant natural resources. The resources can be grouped into a biotic & biotic both of which can be renewable and non-renewable. Biotic resources include agricultural crops, forests etc. The entire Himalayan region is endowed with natural flora and fauna and is a natural paradise for nature lovers, conservationists, botanists, zoo lists and environmentalists. There are 4500 species of flowering plants, 300 species of primulas, 20 species of bamboos etc., 45 species of rhododendrons and around 450 species of orchids. The State is very rich in fauna also. There are 144 species of mammals, 500-600 species of birds, over 400 species of butterflies and moths and many species of reptiles are available. Sikkim is rich in medicinal plants/herbs and also important shrubs are found in low and high altitude areas. The State is endowed with water resources, tourism, hydroelectric potential etc. Under economic geology minerals like copper, iron, lime, dolomite, limestone, coal, quartzite, silicate & graphite are available in the state. As per 21 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) the available data around 60% of cardamom production in India is from Sikkim. There is a vast potential for hydroelectric power generation. Tourism development deserves considerable attention to add to the economy of the region. 3.2.7 Hydropower Potential The Teesta and Rangit are the two main rivers of Sikkim where considerable hydro potential is available. Sikkim have developed 95.7 MW of hydropower potential so far by constructing mini & micro hydel projects and about 600 MW hydel potential is under development in different stages. The details of hydropower potential identified is as under: Teesta Basin : According to the preliminary reconnaissance survey, the river could be harnessed under a cascade development for hydropower generation is six stages as under : i) Teesta Stage-I It is possible to diver the water of Teesta river d/s of confluence Chento chu near Shacham and d/s of confluence Lhonak chu and Poke chu by constructing diversion structures at EL ± 3330 and interconnecting tunnels discharging the Tail water at an EL ± 2623 near the place Zema.

The scheme envisaged construction of a diversion structure upstream of Ishana, a water conductor system in the left bank of Ringpi Chhu and a powerhouse downstream of confluence of Ringpi Chu and Rangyong Chu. The scheme was expected to generate approximately 160 MW of power. The task of preparation of pre- feasibility report was assigned to NHPC. As per the MOU, GSI reports and site visits of experts would form major in puts for topographic and geotechnical aspects. The present appraisal is based on study of topographic sheet 78 A/6 and reconnaissance traverse that was undertaken by mid October. A study of the area was undertaken and a few modifications were made in layout of the project, because of Panan scheme, which has been proposed in the downstream. Now, a diversion structure shall be constructed approximately 700m upstream of Ishana, a 4 km long water conductor system in the right hill and an underground powerhouse upstream of confluence of Ringpi and Rangyong Chhu. The tail water shall be discharged above the FRL of Panan Scheme. The geological report from GSI has been received and placed as annexure 4.1. 4.2 REGIONAL TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEOTECHNICAL FEATURES River Teesta in Sikkim is a major river originating from Zemeu glaciers and generally flows in north-south direction, at a steeper gradient. The river is joined by several tributaries major amongst them being Yumthang Chu, Zemu Chu, Talung Chu, Dik Chu and Rangpo Chu, apart from others join the river. The river valleys in this region are ushaped while, as the tributaries had developed deep gorges, which are bound by steep 26 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) slopes. A thick vegetal cover occupies the hill slopes. These hill slopes are generally used for cultivation of cardamom. A brief of regional geological aspect of this area has been provided. The Eastern Himalaya covers the Sikkim- Darjeeling-Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh sectors, extending from the eastern Nepal to western Burma. The higher Himalaya is a zone of crystalline rocks dividing two distinct lithofacies association in the south and the north. It is designated as the Axial belt. The northern zone comprising the Tethyan PalaeoMesozoic sedimentary sequence forms the Trans -Axial belt. To the south of the Axial belt occurs the Inner belt, comprising thrust sheets of Proterozoic-Upper Palaeozoic formations, while the foothill belt is represented by para-autochthonous Siwaliks. This scheme is valid for the entire Eastern Himalaya, upto the Lohit District of Arunachal Pradesh, where the geological picture does not conform to this general scheme. The stratigraphic sequence provided by GSI report on Ringpi Hydroelectric Scheme has been brought out hereunder for the purpose of regional geological setup of the area. According to this report the region from south to north is occupied by Gondwana, Daling, Chungthang and Central Crystalline Gneissic group of rocks. Group Gondwana Lithology Grits, pebble cum boulder beds and carbonaceous shale with occasional coal seams, pegmatite, quartzite (Tourmaline bearing) Daling Chungthang • Interbedded quartzite and chlorite sericite phyllite / schist • Lingza Granite • Quartzite/ Biotite schist • Interbedded quartzite and garnetiferous quart biotite schist. • Calc-silicate rock/marble. • Garnet-Kyanite-sillimanite-biotite-quartz-schist. 27 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Central Crystalline Gneissic Complex Banded gneiss with augen gneiss and quart-biotite gneiss. Augen gneiss. Rock types belonging to Central Crystallines of Higher Himalaya occupy the area. 4.3 TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF COMPONENT STRUCTURES The region is thickly vegetated and falls within Tolung Reserve Forest. From the peruse of topographic sheet 78 A/6 Jumthul Chhu an E-W flowing nala originating from Jumthul glacier meets Dwathang Chhu near Tolung and thus give rise to Ringpi Chhu. Beyond this confluence Ringpi Chhu flows almost N-S with occasional easterly and westerly swings. Upstream of Ishana the nala takes a southwesterly direction till it meets Rangyong Chu. Beyond the confluence of jhumthul Chhu and Dwathang Chhu near Tolung the nala is joined by few tributaries namely Ludul Chhu, Pegor Chhu, Kangcha Chhu and Zong Chhu all left bank tributaries. The area is bound by ridges, which generally trend NE-SW and follow the general strike of formations. The river flows in a steep gradient. The project area is occupied by Central Crystallines of Higher Himalaya. Ringpi Chhu almost flows along the strike of the formations. Entire area has a highly rugged terrain with elevation in vicinity varying from 1600 M to 6000 M. Near Shobrung and Ishana the topography is approximate as indicated in the topographic map. The area is approachable by a fair weather road upto Lingza beyond which a foot track reaches Tolung. In general the valley slopes are occupied by slope wash material, while rock fromations are exposed as steep ridges. 4.3.1 Diversion Structure The proposed diversion structure is located approximately 700m upstream of Ishana. Here, Ringpi takes a westerly swing and flows southwesterly to southerly. The area was 28 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) studied in detail to assess the proposed alignment and any possible alternative alignment. During the study it was observed that in vicinity of Ishana the river has carved a wide valley with gentle to moderate side slopes. From upstream of Ishana and upto Shobrung the river flows in a gentler gradient and has deposited a wider terrace, however, downstream of Shobrung the nala flows in a steeper gradient. Also, upstream of the proposed location the nala flows in cascades within a steep gradient. Further upstream the nala section is inaccessible, however it is observed that a thick pile of debris material (approximately 15m) comprising boulders, cobbles and pebbles in a silty/sandy matrix occupies the riverbed section (Photo-1). The river valley is approximately 300m wide. A thick pile of slope wash material occupies both the right and left bank slopes and the same is under a thick vegetal cover. The slopes are comparatively steeper while the right bank slopes are moderate and become steep towards higher elevation, which show rock exposure. The area is under a thick vegetal cover. The right bank slopes are being used for cardamom cultivation. The area is occupied by rock exposures of gneisses, which are strong to very strong. The rock formations trend NE-SW dipping northwesterly (Plate4.1). Occasional warping in rock types is noticed. Downstream of place Be a massive band of yellowish quartzite is noticed. The area is required to be investigated in detail to assess the bedrock depth and abutment conditions. 4.3.2 Water Conductor System A 4 Km long head race tunnel has been proposed in the left hill. A recci traverse from lingza along the foot track in left bank of Ringpi was undertaken upto place Be. After crossing the nala at place Be a traverse was undertaken from place Be to Ishana. The area is bound by steep rid ges, which trend NE-SW. The slopes along the foot track are occupied by a pile of slope wash material. Nevertheless, a few intermittent reaches show rock exposures. Also rock exposures are observed towards higher elevations. From a study of the topographic map it is seen that the water conductor system is crossed by several small drainages. Mostly these drainages are dry. During the field visit a nala downstream of Be was seen to carry a little discharge. 29 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) This water conductor system shall be housed within the rock types of gneisses with occasional bands of augen gneisses. A thick band of quartzite was observed in vicinity of place Be. This band appears to be 150-200m thick. Since the contact between the two is under a debris its nature could not be ascertained. The gneisses and quartzites are strong to very strong and are expected to offer a good tunneling media. The rock types trend NE-SW dipping 40-65º towards NW (Plate-4.1). Sufficient superincumbent cover is available above the tunnel. Prima-facie no major drainage appears to have deeply incised the proposed tunnel alignment. 4.3.3 Powerhouse The powerhouse location was fixed keeping in view the FRL of Panan Scheme. Accordingly, it was proposed to keep the tail water above the FRL of Panan Scheme. A foot track runs above the proposed powerhouse location and the present appraisal is based on the observations made along this foot track. At the proposed powerhouse location the formation are exposed as steep rocky escarpments. A thick pile of slope wash material occupies the area along the foot track. An underground powerhouse has been contemplated since steep ridges bind the area. The underground powerhouse area shall be housed within gneisses, which occupy the area. These trend NE-SW dipping towards NW (P late-1). Fair to good rock media is expected during powerhouse excavation. Sufficient superincumbent cover is available above the proposed powerhouse cavern. The orientation of powerhouse shall be suitably aligned with respect to principal discontinuity. 4.4 SEISMICITY The site lies within Zone-IV of seismic zoning map of India IS 1893 (Part-I) 2002. Technical report on seismic history and seismicity of the teesta basin of sikkim covering proposed sites for hydroelectric schemes has been collected from IMD and enclosed as annexure 4.2. The report contains a list of earthquake events that have occurred within 30 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) the region. The Seismic data for the region covering longitude 86-90º and 25-29º has been analyzed. The probable intensity of earthquake within seismic zone-IV corresponds to intensity VIII on Modified Mercali Scale. Notable earthquakes that have occurred close to this area are Cachar 1869 (M 7.5), Great Assam Earthquake 1897 (M 8.7), Dhubri 1930 (M 7.1), Bihar-Nepal Earthquake 1934 (M 8.3), Assam Earthquake 1950 (M 8.5) and Nepal-India border earthquake 1988 (M 6.4). The maximum intensity experienced in Sikkim region during Great Assam Earthquake, 1897 was VIII (MMI) and during Bihar-Nepal border earthquake, 1934 was VII (MMI). Two major tectonic features occur in the area namely MBT (Main Boundary Thrust) and MCT (Main Central Thrust) besides other minor features. Many past occurrences of earthquakes have been associated with these major lineaments. 4.5 GEO-PHYSICAL SURVEY The area at dam site is covered by heavy boulders and the opposite bank was not accessable and is connected by 5 km long hilly footpath. Hence the geophysical survey was not feasible at dam location. The rock is fully exposed in the power house area, therefore geo-physical survey was not required. 4.6 CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL SURVEY The availability of river shoals may not suffice the requirement of construction material. Hence, the alternative arrangements for construction material have to be explored. The area is bound by steep rocky ridges, therefore the quarries for construction material can be developed. 4.7 RECOMMENDATIONS • At the dam axis and powerhouse area, few drill holes are required to assess overburden thickness and its amenability for construction of various structures. • Detailed geological mapping of the project components need to be carried out. 31 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) • Availability of construction material may be assessed after detailed survey of the quarries and may be got tested for their suitability at FR/PFR stage. 32 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Photo-1 Riverbed at Proposed Dam Site 33 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – V HYDROLOGY Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER –V HYDROLOGY 5.1 GENERAL Lingza scheme is a run of the river scheme, proposed on Ringpi Chu, one of the tributaries of Ryong Chu/Tolung Chu, which is a major right bank tributary of river Teesta. The project envisages construction of a 75 m high diversion structure on Ringpi Chu with a gross storage capacity of about 2.64 Mcum and area of submergence as 10.75 Ha at EL 1850 m. The hydrological investigations and analysis have been carried out for Lingza Project with a view to: • Assess the availability of water for power generation by establishing a series of average 10-daily discharges for the project site. • Establish the spillway design flood • Determine the capacity of the reservoir and the area of submergence at different levels including FRL and MD DL. • 5.2 Reservoir sedimentation. RIVER SYSTEM AND BASIN CHARACTERISTICS Ringpi Chu is one of the major tributary of Talung chu river which in turn is one of the major tributary of river Teesta and meets Teesta at Singhik on its right bank. Ringpi Chu intercepts a substantial catchment area and is formed by two streams originating at high elevations having snow catchment in their upper reaches. The river has substantial flows and a steep gradient. Talung Chu originates from the Talung glacier, which is a part of the Kanchanjunga range. The river is known by different names in different reaches. In the upper reach it is known as Rukel Chu, further downstream it is called Rangyong Chu and in the lower reaches it is known as Tolung Chu. Tolung Chu is fed by a number of tributaries having large drainage areas at their confluence. 34 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) The river Teesta is one of the main Himalayan Rivers, which originates in the glaciers of Sikkim at an elevation of over 8500m above mean sea level. It is being snow fed by the glaciers Zemu, Changame Khanpu, Talung etc. It is an international river, which flows through the states of Sikkim and West Bengal in Indian Territory and then to Bangladesh. The river rises in mountainous terrain and is formed mainly by the union of two hill streams Lachen Chu and Lachung Chu at Chunthang in North Sikkim. The river upto this reach generally flows in a very steep gradient and the slope of the Teesta river upto the confluence of Lachen chu and Lachung chu is about 1 in 20. After the confluence of Lachen chu and Lachung chu at Chungthang the river gradually increases in width and takes a wide loop flowing down to Singhik dropping in elevation from EL 1550 m to EL 750 m. It is here after traversing about 20 Km that the river confluences with Tolung Chu. The area has a rugged terrain with the surrounding peaks reaching a maximum elevation of approximately 4000m. The nallah joins Teesta river almost perpendicularly. The terrain hosts a rich growth of vegetation. In general the river flows in southeasterly direction. Numerous valleys are seen in the area, which are occupied by cultivated terraces. Few high level terraces have been observed in this area especially in vicinity of Lingza and Kayem village. 5.2.1 Cascade Development In Teesta Basin The river Teesta has tremendous potential for development of hydro power, as the river descends from an elevation of about 3600m to about 300m over a distance of about 175 Km. According to the preliminary reconnaissance survey by Central water and power Commission in 1974, the river could be harnessed under a cascade development for hydro power generation. The cascade development proposed at that stage consisted of power generation in six stages on river Teesta. Out of these schemes, NHPC had submitted a DPR for Teesta H.E project, Stage -III in 1990. The diversion structure for Teesta-III was proposed to be constructed at Chungthang, which lies downstream of the 35 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) confluence of Lachen Chu and Lachung Chu. Another project under Teesta Basin development, which is under execution by NHPC, is Teesta Stage-V having an installed capacity of 510 MW, where a diversion structure is being built at Dikchu, about 2 Km downstream of confluence of Dikchu with Teesta. About 70km downstream of Teesta-V, NHPC has been entrusted two projects namely, Teesta Low Dam H.E projects, Stage-III & IV, having an installed capacity of 132 MW and 160 MW respectively. 5.2.2 Catchment Area The catchment area of the proposed scheme lies between Longitude 88o16′00” E to 88o 32′00” E and Latitude 27o 35′00” N to 27o 45’00” N. The catchment area upto the proposed dam site is about 198 Sq.km. The catchment is both snowfed as well as rainfed. The proposed diversion structure lies at Longitude 88 o 28′00” E and latitude 27 o 36′00” N. The catchment Plan is shown in Plate-5.1. The catchment plan has been prepared from 1:50000, Survey of India toposheets. The entire catchment is covered in toposheets no. 78A/6, and 78A/2. The area above EL4600m is about 74 Sq.km and has been assumed to be the snowfed area in the catchment. Thus the rainfed and snowfed area in the catchment are 124 Sq.km and 74 Sq.km respectively. 5.2.3.1 Temperature And Humidity The climate in the region is fairly humid and moist. The abrupt variation in altitude is chiefly responsible for abrupt changes in the climatic conditions and aided by the complex orography, the area experiences frequent rainfall of varying intensity and duration. The maximum and minimum temperature varies from 390 C in summer to 60 C in winter and the relative humidity varies from 80% to 100%. Temperature and relative humidity observations are being made in the basin at Dikchu site where Teesta-V H.E project is being constructed by NHPC and at TLDP-III and TLDP-IV sites, as a part of cascade development on Teesta river. The monthly maximum, minimum temperatutre 36 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) and relative humidity at Dikchu from Jan 1998 to Dec 2001 is enclosed as Annexure -5.1 and annual maximum and minimum temperature from 1998 to 2001 is given in Table 5.1. Table 5-1 Temperature And Humidity Data At Dikchu Min. Month & Year Maximum Minimum Temp o Temp C o C Max. Relative Relative Humidity % Humidity % 1998 38.0 7.0 99.0 89.0 1999 39.0 6.0 99.0 90.0 2000 39.0 7.0 97.0 85.0 2001 31.0 11.0 97.0 90.0 Overall 39.0 6.0 99.0 85.0 5.2.4 Precipitation Characterstics In the Teesta basin the southwest monsoon normally sets in the third week of May and withdraws in the second week of October. The major portion of the catchment being hilly and the river flowing in steep gradient, heavy rains in the upper and middle catchments has an immediate effect of rendering the plains to flash floods. Sh. B.Biswas and C.V.V Bhadram in their paper titled “A study of major rainstorms of Teesta Basin” and published in Mausam (1984), have studied the rainfall distribution, major rainstorms and their associated synoptic situations over the catchment based on 22 years data (1960-81). The entire Teesta catchment extending from its origin in north upto the Indo Bangladesh border has been considered. On the basis of the rainfall distrib ution, the Teesta catchment has been divided into three parts viz. upper, middle & lower. The average annual rainfall is 1328 mm, 2619 mm & 3289 mm for the upper, middle and 37 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) lower parts respectively. The monthly breakup of the annual rainfall of the basin is given in Table 5.2 . Table 5.2 Average Monthly Rainfall (mm) of Teesta Basin Month Catchment Upper Middle Lower Jan 21 23 6 Feb 41 32 16 Mar 73 66 30 Apr 72 147 144 May 142 274 315 Jun 245 463 547 Jul 236 621 866 Aug 222 512 645 Sep 171 338 495 Oct 77 112 191 Nov 15 19 21 Dec 13 12 13 Annual 1328 2619 3289 From the table it is clear that July is the wettest month followed by August and June. The upper, middle and lower catchments receive 71.6%, 78.1% and 83.4% of the annual rainfall respectively due to southwest monsoon. The catchment area upto the present proposed scheme comprises the upper and middle portions only. The authors have considered 53 rainstorms of duration ranging from one to three days in the study. The selection of storms is based on isohyetal analysis of daily rainfall values. Out of the 53 rain storms 40 were of 1 day, 11 were of 2 day and only 2 were of 3-day duration. It was concluded that 1-day duration storm are more frequent, a fact which is 38 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) also supported by the narrow width of the catchment for which the effect of any system lasts for a shorter duration. No storm of longer duration than 3 day is reported. Majority of the storms have been reported in July & August. It has also been concluded that rain storms over this catchment occur in association with any of the following synoptic situations: (i) Break monsoon conditions i.e. shifting of the axis of trough close to the foothills of the Himalayas. (ii) Eastern end of monsoon trough lying north of Latitude 240 N. (iii)Movement of trough in west lies across the eastern Himalayas ; and (iv) Low pressure system lying over or to the west of the catchment. Many of the rainstorms studied by the authors were seen to occur due to either of the first two synoptic situations in July & August. A combination of first three synoptic situations is also a common feature over the area, giving rise to heavy precipitation. 5.2.4.1 Rain Gauge Network As per the paper of Sh. B.Biswas and C.V.V Bhadram, the network density of rain gauges in the basin works out to be one raingauge per 300 Sq.km of the basin area. The data used by them is of 42 raingauge stations working under Indian Meteorology Department (IMD) and Central Water Commision (CWC), 24 of which are equipped with self recording raingauges. The rainfall data availability status of the raingauge stations in the catchment upto Teesta-V H.E project, with NHPC, is shown in Table 5.3.

Raingauge sites have also been established near Teesta Low dam projects, Stage-III & IV and are operational since August 2000. Lot of efforts has been made to collect all available rainfall data in the basin but only rainfall data of 11 stations mentioned above is available at present. None of the above rainfall stations lie in the catchment of the proposed project so this data has not been used in the hydrological analysis. 5.3 WATER AVAILABILITY STUDY 5.3.1 Stream flow and River gauges Since Teesta River offers ideal conditions for cascade development of hydroelectric schemes, the discharge passing through the river is measured at various sites by CWC. Recently NHPC has also established its various G&D sites on Teesta river since a number of projects have been entrusted to NHPC as a part of cascade development on the river. These include Teesta-V, and Teesta Low Dam projects, Stage -III & IV. However, no G&D data is available on Ringpi Chu, at or near the proposed dam site of Lingza H.E 40 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) project. The various G&D sites and period of data availability in Teesta Basin is shown in Table 5.4.

Domohoni Teesta 1972 to 2000 5.3.2 Present Study No daily G&D data was available on Ringpi Chu, on which the present project is proposed. For the pre feasibility study, water availability for the proposed project has been computed based on the following methodologies: (i) Based on observed discharges at Tolung Chu (Jan 75 to Aug 85, Apr 90 to Apr 98) The proposed diversion structure for Lingza project is located on Ringpi Chu, which is a tributary of Tolung Chu. Daily G&D data is available on Tolung Chu from Jan 75 to Aug 85 and Apr 90 to Apr 98. The site lies downstream of the proposed project on Tolung Chu, having a catchment area of 731 Sq.km. Average 10-daily series has been prepared based on this observed data and reduced to dam site using catchment area proportion, using a reduction factor of 0.21. (ii) Based on discharge series of Teesta-III H.E project (1976-1984) Average10-daily series recommended for Teesta-III H.E project by CWC at Chungthang has been converted at proposed site using catchment area reduction (catchment reduction factor – 0.15). Thus a series for the period 1976 to 1984 has been obtained. 42 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) (iii) Based on observed G&D data at Lachen (1976-1997) G&D data observed at Lachen has been converted at proposed site using catchment area reduction (catchment reduction factor – 0.22). Thus a series for the period 1976 to 1997 has been obtained. Data at Lachen is missing for the years 1986-1988, i.e for 3 years. This missing data has been filled from the observed data at Dikchu G&D site (Teesta-V) using catchment area reduction. (iv) Based on discharge series of Teesta-V H.E project (1976-Feb 2003) The 10-daily series at Teesta-V H.E project for the period 1976- Feb 2003 has been converted at proposed damsite using catchment area reduction (catchment reduction factor – 0.03). The series from 1976-1996 is the approved series by CWC for Teesa-V and from 1997 to Feb 2003 is the observed data at Dikchu where observations are being taken by NHPC. Average 10-daily discharge for all the above four series developed is worked out and compared. The plot showing this comparison of average 10-daily discharge at Lingza is enclosed at Figure -5.1. From the plot it is obvious that the average 10-daily of the series obtained on the basis of G&D data observed on Tolung Chu is on a much higher side as compared to other three series. Rainfall-runoff relationship could not be established for the observed data on Tolung Chu as no rainfall data in the catchment of the proposed project was available. Hence, for pre- feasibility study, the series so obtained on the basis of Tolung Chu data cannot be adopted as such, it comparatively being on a higher side. Average 10-daily obtained from other three approaches are almost comparable so need for further statistical checks is not fe lt necessary. For pre- feasibility stage, the average 10-daily obtained from G&D data at Lachen is recommended for Lingza H.E project. Though the catchment area reduction factor is very low for all three series, this series has been adopted as Lachen G&D site has a smaller catchment area as compared to Chungthang and Teesta-V. After estabilishing G&D site near proposed dam axis and obtaining more rainfall data in the catchment, detailed water availability study need be 43 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) done during feasibility/DPR stage. The final 10-daily series at Lingza is enclosed as Annexure -5.2. 5.4 RESERVOIR ELEVATION AREA CAPACITY CURVE The reservoir elevation-area-capacity curve for Lingza H.E project has been prepared from 1:50000 Survey of India toposheets. The contours are available at an interval of 40m the minimum contour being of 1800m. The area enclosed within the contours has been found using Autocad. Area has been found from elevation 1800m to 1960m at an interval of 40m. The volume between any two elevations is calculated using the conical formula : V = H/3 * (A1 +A2 +√A1 A2 ) Where V = Volume between two contours H = Contour interval A1 = Area at level of first contour A2 = Area at level of second contour The incremental volumes thus computed are added up to obtain cumulative volume. The resultant area capacity curve is enclosed as Figure -5.2. The curve may be improved after receiving toposheets in scale of 1:25000. The gross capacity at FRL 1850 m is 2.64 Mcum and submergence area is 10.75 Ha. 5.5 DESIGN FLOOD Design Flood for a project can be estimated by following approaches: (i) Deterministic approach using Unit Hydrograph technique. (ii) Statistical approach using Flood frequency analysis (iii) Empirical methods 44 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) • Unit Hydrograph technique Due to non-availability of G&D data and hourly gauges, design storm values in the proposed catchment, rating curves and observed flood hydrographs could not be developed for computing the Unit Hydrograph and Design Flood hydrograph. • Flood Frequency analysis Due to non-availability of long term, consistent G&D data near the proposed scheme, frequency analysis could not be done to estimate the design flood. • Empirical Methods The following empirical relationships have been used to estimate the design flood peak: (i) Dicken’s formula Q = CA 3/4 Where C = Dickens constant with value between 11-14 for North- Indian Hilly catchment. A value of 14 has been adopted in present study. A = Catchment area in sq.km Therefore, Q = 14 x 198 3/4 = 739 cumec (ii) Ali Nawab Jung formula Q = C(0.386A)(0.925-1/14logA) Where C = 49 to 60 (55 used) Q = 55* (0.386*198)(0.925-1/14log(198)) = 1694 cumec (iii) Computation of Design Flood from Design Flood at Teetsa-III using Dicken’s formula The design flood recommended for Teesta H.E project, Stage-III was 4572 cumec. The total catchment area upto Stage-III dam site is 2786 Sq.km. Lingza H.E project is located 45 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) on Ringpi Chu river which is a tributary of Tolung Chu, which in turn is a major tributary of Teesta river and both the catchments can be assumed to be hydrologically and hydrometeorologically similar. Therefore, it seems logical to transpose the design flood value of Teesta-III to proposed dam at Lingza. This transposition has been done by Dicken’s formula using a conversion factor of 0.138. Q 1 = CA 1 n Q 2 = CA 2 n Where,A 1 = Catchment area of Lingza project A 2 = Catchment area of Teesta-III project Q 1 = Design Flood for Lingza project Q 2 = Design Flood for Teesta-III project C = Dicken’s constant n= 0.75 Q Lingza = Q Teesta-III * (A Lingza /A T eesta-III ) 0.75 = 629 cumec (iv) Computation of Design Flood from Design Flood at Teetsa-V using Dicken’s formula The design flood for Lingza project has also been estimated by transposing the design flood at Teesta-V H.E project using Dicken’s formula. The design flood recommended for Teesta-V H.E project, having a catchment area of 4307 Sq.km is 9500 cumec. The conversion factor for converting it at Lingza project, having a catchment area of 198 Sq.km comes out to be 0.099. Q Lingza = Q Teesta-V * (A Lingza/A Teesta-V) 0.75 = 943 cumec A comparativ study of flood peak computed from various methods is placed as Table 5.5. 46 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Table 5. 5 Comparison Of Various Flood Values SSS.No Method used Design Flood (cumec) 1. Dickens Formula 739 2. Ali Nawaz Jung Formula 1694 3. Transposition of Teesta-III Flood peak 629 on the basis of Dickens formula. 4. Transposition of Teesta-V Flood peak 943 on the basis of Dickens formula. For pre-feasibility stage study, a design flood of 940 cumec has been recommended at proposed dam site. On availability of more data/information, design flood will have to be estimated by deterministic approach using unit hydrograph technique and probabilistic approach using flood frequency analysis in feasibility stage. Also, design flood has been worked out on the basis of design flood at Teesta-III and Teesta-V, which has been computed using both unit hydrograph technique and flood frequency analysis. 5.6 SEDIMENTATION A rate of sedimentation of 0.1385 Ham/Sq.km/Year has been worked out for Teesta-V H.E project based on suspended sediment observations at Dikchu. In the absence of sediment data at or near the proposed dam site, the same silt rate of Dikchu may be adopted for Lingza H.E project too. The necessity of Detailed sedimentation study is not felt during PFR stage and the same need be done during feasibility/DPR stage with more observed data at the proposed site using a suitable method.

CHPAPER-VI CONCEPTUAL PLANNING AND LAYOUT 6.1 INTRODUCTION The Lingza H.E. project is located in the North district of Sikkim state near village Ishana. It is a run of the river scheme proposed to harness hydel potential of the Ringpi Chu, a tributary of river Teesta. The available maximum gross head of 746 m is proposed to be utilised for generating 120 MW of Power. A small reservoir of adequate capacity has been provided as an operating pool to meet diurnal peaking load demands. 6.2 PROJECT COMPONENTS • 6 m diameter, 400 m long Diversion Tunnel with u/s & d/s coffer dam • 75 m high & 320m long concrete Dam with a central spillway • Intake Structure leading to 2 Nos. 3 m dia D-shaped intake tunnels. • Two Nos. Underground Desilting Chambers of size 95m (L) X 5m (W) X 7.5 m (H). • One 3.3m diameter horseshoe shaped concrete lined and 4 kms long Head Race Tunnel with three adits. • One 10 m diameter & approx. 40 m high semi-Underground Surge Shaft. • One circular inclined Pressure Shaft of 2m diameters, 900 m long each further bifurcating into 3 numbers steel lined circular penstocks of 1.1 m diameter and length 50 m each up to Power House. • Underground Power House of size 100m x 17m x 40m consisting of 3 Pelton units of 40 MW each. • One no.3.3m diameter Horseshoe shaped tailrace tunnel of about 250 m length. The conceptual planning and lay-out of project components have been worked out based on S.O.I toposheets of 1:50000 scale (toposheet no. 78A/6) with contour intervals 40 m. 54 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 6.2.1 Conceptual Layout The choice of location and type of the dam has been made keeping in view the topography, geology and water availability at various locations of the diversion structure near the one suggested earlier by CEA. The location of the powerhouse has been fixed keeping the tailrace outlet at EL 1095 m. This level has been kept same as FRL of the proposed Panan H E Project. The location of major component of the project, riverbed levels at dam site, TRT outlet site and generation capacity of the project as identified in the ranking study undertaken by CEA in 1990 have been considered during the preparation of this report. The upcoming hydroelectric projects on Ringpi Chu have been considered in the conceptual planning of the project. The layout plan of the project and brief write up as envisaged by CEA have been enclosed as plate-1 and annexure 6.1 respectively. The cascade development schemes on the Teesta River as prepared by CEA is enclosed as plate-2 and of Tolung River basin as plate 3 and 4. Based on the hydrological and topographical study, reconnaissance survey of the site and input data of ranking study, a conceptual layout plan of the project was prepared and discussed in CEA for vetting during sept’03. 6.2.2 Dam and River diversion works Construction of a 75m high concrete Dam has been proposed across river Ringpi Chu. The reservoir formed by construction of Dam has a gross storage pre-sedimentation capacity of 2.64 M.cum and live storage capacity of 1.71 M cum. After sedimentation, the reservoir is likely to have a live storage of adequate capacity for running the power station at full capacity for 3-4 hours in a day during the period of lean flows. 55 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Width of the valley at Dam site varies from 50 m at riverbed level to 320 m at EL 1855 m, which is suitable for a concrete dam. Average bed level at Dam site is EL 1795 m. FRL is proposed to be fixed at EL 1850 and MDDL at El.1830 m keeping in view the inflow of water in Ringpi Chu during lean period. The top of the dam has been proposed to be kept at EL 1855 m and seat of the dam at EL 1780 m after removal of approx. 15.0 m thick overburden. Near the dam axis, right bank is steep, however left bank rises moderately and becomes steeper at higher elevation. The area is thickly forested and the slopes are covered by slope wash material. No rock exposure is seen in the dam area. However on the basis of exposure in the vicinity. It appears that the rock type expected to be encountered shall be gneiss, which is suitable for founding the dam and housing the underground structures. The availability of construction material for the dam, cofferdam and its suitability has been discussed elsewhere in the report. The overflow section is 30 m long and Non –overflow section is 290 m comprising 165 m on right abutment and 125 m on left abutment. The spillway has three bays each of size 4 m X 6 m with 3.0 m wide piers. The spillway is designed to pass a probable maximum flood of 940 cumecs with one gate inoperative. The crest of spillway has been kept at EL1810 m. The low-level orifice type spillway has been provided to flush out the sediment accumulated in the reservoir to maintain the live storage capacity of the reservoir. The top width of non-overflow has been fixed as 8 m. The d/s slope of the Non-overflow section has been proposed as 0.8H: 1V and u/s slope as 0.1H: 1V. The project area falls within Zone -IV of seismic zoning map. One no. Concrete lined 6 m dia 400 m long diversion tunnel has been proposed on the left bank of the river to divert a flood of approx. 300 cumecs of Ringpi chu The design diversion discharge has been decided based on the experience of various ongoing NHPC projects in Teesta valley and fast track completion of the project. This data shall however need to be firmed up during the preparation of detailed project report with the availability of more hydrological data & experience gained in the basin e.g.: during the construction 56 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) of Teesta-V project. In order to divert the river during construction of the dam, an u/s cofferdam of approx. height 20m and d/s cofferdam of 10 m height is proposed. 6.2.3 Power Intake & Desilting Chambers The proposed power intake system is on the Left side of the river and consists of two no. intake and two no. D-shaped intake tunnels of dia 3 m each. Two no intakes are proposed to keep the desilting chambers dimension within the manageable limits and to put either of the desilting chambers to inspection and maintenance while the other is in operation. The intake structures are designed to pass 22.16 cumecs, which is about 20% excess of turbine discharge of 18.47 cumecs. The invert level of the intake structure has been kept at El. 1820m taking into consideration the water seal requirement to prevent the vortex formation and air entrainment. Also, this level being 10m higher than the spillway crest, the sediment entry in the water conductor system shall be checked. The intake structure shall be provided with the trash racks to prevent the entry of trash in the water conductor system. The gross area of the trash racks shall be determined to give a velocity of not more than 1.5m/s. A mechanical raking machine operated from El.1855m shall clean the racks. For the efficient, trouble free and continuous operation of turbines with least possible wearing and erosion damages due to silt, it is necessary to remove 90% of the sediments larger than 0.2mm-particle size. Two nos. 5 m wide Dufour type Desilting chambers with height 7.5 m shall be provided to remove 90% of particles having size greater than or equal to 0.2m. Two separate intakes lead the water to two independent desilting chambers 95 m long spaced at 30 m c/c, through 25 m long upstream transition which will gradually reduce the velocity of water in the chamber to 0.25m /sec. The chambers have been provided with central gutter with holes to facilitate the flushing of settled silt particles through the flushing tunnel. A silt flushing conduit at the bottom of each chamber runs along the length and two flushing tunnels join to form a single silt flushing tunnel of size 1 m x 1.8 m D -shaped and 500 m length which will discharge the sediment 57 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) back into the river d/s of the dam. Thus practically silt free water will be led into the headrace tunnel. The requirement of desilting chambers is being foreseen, as the TeestaV project, which is d/s of this project, has been provided with the desilting chambers. The size, alignment, orientation of the chambers can be optimized after more geo-logical, topo-graphical and sedimentation data becomes available. . 6.2.4 Head Race Tunnel, Surge Shaft, and Pressure Shaft The proposed 3.3 m diameter concrete lined horse- shoe shaped headrace tunnel of 4 km length, and having a slope of 1 in 300 is designed to carry a design discharge of 18.47 cumec. The diameter of the headrace tunnel has been fixed from the minimum working area requirements. The Invert level of headrace tunnel is fixed at EL. 1820 m near intake. The rock cover above headrace tunnel generally varies from +100 m to +400 m. The low cover reaches are confined to prominent nalla crossings. The HRT shall be aligned with in the rock type of quartzite and gneiss. Three nos. constructions Adits are proposed to facilitate excavation of headrace tunnel within the scheduled completion time. The length of tunnel between 300 m long adit-1 & 300 m long adit-2 is 2.5 Km. The tunnel is proposed to be lined with 225 mm thick plain M-20 concrete. The rock support treatment shall consist of grouted rock bolts/anchors and shotcrete with or without wire mesh as per geological conditions encountered. In rock class of IV & V steel ribs supports is envisaged. A vertical, restricted orifice type semi- underground surge shaft of 10 m finished dia and about 40 m height has been proposed with its top opening into a platform at elevation EL +1860 m. Surge shaft is proposed to be concrete lined with 0.75 m thick R.C.C. Its bottom is kept at EL 1815 m at the HRT and surge shaft junction. The transient studies shall be required to be done to work out the maximum and minimum levels for the worst conditions and optimize the surge sha ft dimensions.

The salient features of the project are as follows: FRL (EL) =1850 m MDDL (EL) =1830 m TWL = EL 1095 m Centre line of M/C =EL 1097 m Rated net head = 736 m Type of turbine = Vertical Pelton Rated Discharge of Plant =18.47 cumecs Proposed Plant Capacity =120 MW (3x40 MW) Design Energy =477.51 MU in the 90% dependable year with 95% machine availability Minimum Peaking (Hrs) = 3 hrs (approx.) Gross Storage = 2.64MCM MWhr = 4765.31 Live storage = 1.71 MCM MWHr = 3086.61 7.2 AVAILABLE FLOW The discharge data for the 90% dependable hydrological year is given in table 7.3 and power potential in 90% dependable year with 95% machine availability has also been shown in this table. For carrying out the power potential and optimisation studies, the following statistics have been computed. 65 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Year: Each 10-daily period of the year represents the average of the flow recorded for the corresponding period of each year. 90% Dependable Year: This is the lower decile of the series of the corresponding 10-daily period of the record i.e. (N+1) x 0.9th year where N is the years for which continuous hydrological data are available. The 90% dependable year comes out to be 1976-77 whose calculations are shown in table 7.2. 7.3 Definition Of Terms Annual Energy This is the yearly energy provided during the 90% dependable hydrological year with 95% machine availability. Firm Power This is the power capacity, which can be guaranteed continuously during the lean period in 90% dependable year. Here no reservoir capacity has been selected in order to have minimum environmental impact. During lean inflow period (winter season) the firm power comes out to be 15.50 MW calculations for this has been shown in table 7.3. 7.4 FULL RESERVOIR LEVEL (FRL) AND MINIMUM DRAW DOWN LEVEL (MDDL) FRL and MDDL have been fixed at EL 1850m & EL 1830 m respectively based on civil consideration. Justification for FRL, MDDL and TWL has been presented in chapter VI “Conceptual Planning and layout”. This project is envisaged as a run of the river scheme. 7.5 OPERATING HEAD AND HEAD LOSSES The net operating head for turbines has been derived from the following formula where head losses are taken as 10 m. 66 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Net operating head =MDDL+2/3 (FRL-MDDL)-TCL-Head losses The net operating head comes out to 736 m. 7.6 INSTALLED CAPACITY Installed capacity of 120 MW has been selected based on power potential studies, water availability and results arrived as per table 7.4(a).The studies for power output and annual energy gener ation for the 90% dependable year restricted to various MW has been given in table 7.4. 7.7 SIZE OF GENERATING UNITS The power load demand in India is increasing at a very rapid rate and both hydroelectric and thermal (including nuclear) Power potential in the country are being developed not only to meet the overall requirements, but stimulatingly also to provide a proper mix of hydro and thermal power for optimum operation of the system. Keeping this in view current practice is to opt for largest size hydro units permissible within the parameters of economy, operating efficiency, maintenance, optimum utilization of available water, transport limitation etc. It is therefore proposed to install 3 units with capacity each of 40 MW with Pelton turbine as prime mover has been envisaged. However detailed optimization studies for fixation of installed capacity would have to be done at FR/DPR stage. 7.8 ENERGY GENERATION The energy generation in the 90% dependable year (1976-77) indicating lean inflow period and high inflow period is shown in table 7.5 (A). It may be seen from table 7.3 that the total unrestricted energy generation is 543.04 MU. Total energy restricted to 120 MW comes out to be 489.35MU. Annual energy generation at 120 MW (in 90% dependable year and 95% machine availability) comes out to be 477.51 MU. Incremental benefits have been shown in table 7.4a which comes out to be 1.79 for this year. Also annual energy generation unrestricted has been indicated in table 7.7(A) to 7.7(U) for 21 67 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) hydrological years. Energy available at bus bar shall be 471.79 MU after allowing auxiliary consumption of 0.7% and transformer losses of 0.5% respectively. A table giving the summary of studies indicating yearly inflows, annual energy generation, load factor of operation during monsoon and lean flow period has been presented in studies as per Table 7.5

Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – VIII POWER EVACUATION Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER-VIII POWER EVACUATION 8.1 GENERAL This chapter contains data regarding existing Power network of the Eastern region and the power evacuation arrangement required, consequent upon power generation at the proposed Lingza Hydro Electric Project. 8.2 Appraisal of Existing Power Evacuation facilities The nearest pooling point being proposed is a new 400/220 KV substation at Siliguri (New Jalpaiguri) where power from Tala H.E.P and Teesta stages is expected to be pooled. Adjoining to this is also a new substation of 220/132 KV level being created by WBSEB. Hence power evacuation with respect to development of national grid and consumption by the state can be considered as assured for the present project. Underlying 220/132 KV 200 MVA PGCIL and 132 KV network in the entire area is available to cater for local loads. 8.3 Proposed evacuation arrangement to the nearest facility After study of existing power evacuation facilities, it emerges that evacuation of power generated at Lingza Hydro Electric Project can be done through one no. 220 kV double circuit line to be connected at the pooling point which can be assumed to come up near (2 km from Teesta –III H E Project) Teesta III H.E.P. Teesta – III H.E.P. is situated in the close vicinity of Lingza Hydro Electric Project. The length of this 220 kV double circuit line would be approximately 15 km. 98 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – IX ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) .CHAPTER - IX ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS 9.1 INTRODUCTION 9.1.1 General The State of Sikkim has abundant snow and monsoon fed rivers with immense hydro potential. The proposed run-of-the-river Lingza Hydroelectric Power Scheme involves construction of diversion structures immediately downstream of Ringpi Power Station at a riverbed elevation of about 1795 m on river Ringpi chu (fig. 9.1). Ringpi chu is a tributary of Toulong chu which is a major right bank tributary of river Teesta. The water from the diversion structure shall be conveyed to the powerhouse through a 4 km long headrace tunnel situated on the bank of main Tolung chu. The riverbed elevation at the tailrace shall be about 1095 m and would utilise a net head of 736 m. The proposed project is envisaged to have generation capacity of about 120 MW. 9.1.2 Location The proposed project is located on Ringpi Chhu in the North district of Sikkim between longitude 88°27’20’’E & 88° 26’ 39’’ and latitude 27°36’00’’N & 27° 33’ 46’’, just u/s of Panan reservoir. New Jalpaiguri is the nearest railhead and Bagdogra is the nearest airport. The dam site is to be located near the Myong village under Lingza-Tolung Revenue Block about 4.9 km upstream of the confluence of Rangyong Chhu and Ringpi Chhu (Fig. 9.2). 9.2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 9.2.1 Climate/Meteorology For most of the period in the year, the climate is cold and humid. The region experiences a cold winter from November to February and monsoons from May to mid- October. The rainfall in the project area varies from 300-360 cm in most parts of valley. Snowfall is seen at higher altitudes of the catchment area from November to April. The area enjoys 99 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) sub tropical to alpine conditions. Temperature varies with altitude and slope. Fog is a common feature in the area especially from September to February. 9.2.2 Topography Sikkim encompasses the Lesser Himalaya, Central Himalaya, and the Tethys Himalaya. It is essentially a mountainous State without flat piece of land of any extent anywhere. The mountains rise in elevation northward. The northern portion of the State is deeply cut into steep escarpments. South Sikkim is lower, more open, and fairly well cultivated. This configuration of the State is partly due to the direction of the main drainage, which is towards the south. The trend of the mountain system is generally in east-west direction. The Rangit and the Teesta, which form the main channels of drainage, run nearly north south. The valleys cut by these rivers and their feeders are very deep and are rather open towards the top, but usually attain a steep gorge like structure as they approach the bed of the rivers. 9.2.3 Soils The soil depth varies from 100- 150 cm deep in most areas. There are also certain rock outcrops in the soil. The soil is mainly coarse to fine loam in texture. Some soils have a gray tint of color and rich in humus in most places. The State of Sikkim enjoys a wide range of climate, physiography, geology and vegetation which have further influenced formation of different kinds of soils that are classified under 5 broad physiographic units. Table 9.1 gives area wise details of these soils. The light textured soil and rocky areas are prone to sliding. Topso il in most area is rich in humus and organic matter. The water holding capacity in most area is low and has low cohesiveness. The soil in general is loamy sand to silty clay loam with a depth of 30 cm to 100 cm and in some cases even more than 120 cm. Based on the soil survey conducted by the National Bureau of Soil Survey of India & Landuse Planning, the State has been classified into 3 main soil groups: 100 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) • Udalf: High base status soil of humid region. • Orthants: Recently formed soil. • Odhepts: Shallow blocks, brown and alluvial soil. Table 9.1: Major physiographic units of soil in Sikkim Physiographic units No Area (ha) . % of total geographic area 1 Summit & Ridge (>30%) 31459.45 4.43 2 Slide slope of hills 2.1 Very steep slope (>50%) 213100.01 30.03 2.2 Escarpments (>50%) 30480.73 4.3 2.3 Steeply sloping (30-50%) 214641.28 30.24 2.4 Moderately sloping (15-30%) 16024.82 2.26 3 Valleys (<30%) 9683.36 1.37 4 Rocky cliffs & precipitous 85700.29 12.08 slope 5 Glacier/Perpetual 1085100.0 15.29 9.2.4 Geology The upper reaches of this region comprise of glaciers, snow clad peaks, alpine lakes, moraine and meadows. There is a network of streams feeding the Ringpi Chu River with many waterfalls. These streams are fast flowing glacier fed rivers originating from the Great Himalayan Range and its offshoots. Ringpi chu river joins with Tolung chu to make main stream of Tolung chu. The northern portion of the state is deeply cut into steep escarpments. 101 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) The physical configuration of Sikkim is partly due to its geological structure. Major portion of the State is covered by Precambrian rocks and is of much younger age. The northern, eastern and western portions of the State are constituted of hard massive gneiss rocks capable of resisting denudation. The rock type in this region belongs to Lesser and Higher Himalayas, the former being represented by low grade meta-sedimentaries and granite gneiss whereas the central crystalline in the axial zone of the north Sikkim are represented by high grade meta-sedimentary and granite intrusive. The main lithounits exposed in the area include Daling meta- volcano sedimentaries, Lingtse sheared granite gneisses and high grade Central Crystallines. The Daling Group of rocks comprises (schistose) metawacke, chlorite-muscovite phyllite intercalated with chlorite, quartz and their metamorphic equivalents upto garnet-staurolite kyanite grade. The metawacke units are highly sheared and are found to be associated with Lingtse gneiss and meta porphyroid bands with bluish pa lescent quartz clasts. The Central Crystalline Gneiss comprise of mica bearing quartz, feldspar gneiss, banded gneiss. Migmatite gneiss, garnet bearing psammitic gneiss and higher grade kyanite sillimannite garnet gneiss are found to crop out in the eastern part of the area. Apart from these major litho units in the area there are metabasite bodies and some leucogranites which show pegmatitic character at places. The metabasic rocks occur as concordant bodies within the country rock. These bands are found to be of varying thickness and are present both within the gneisses and the Daling meta-sedimentaries. 9.2.5 Seismicity Sikkim is a part of active Himalayan belt, which is tectonically young. The area has experienced mild tremors in the recent past. One earthquake of magnitude 6.0 on Richter scale was recorded on November 20th, 1980. The project area falls in Zone IV of Seismic Zoning Map of India as per IS 1893 - 1984. 102 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 9.2.6 Catchment Area The direct draining catchment of the project is 198 sq. km. The catchment is mountainous with rugged terrain. The tributaries are angular and have dendritic drainage patterns. Streams have moderate to steep slopes in upper reaches. The natural vegetation consists of shrubby to alpine in many places at upper reaches and mixed forest at lower elevations. 9.2.7 River System Ringpi Chhu rises as Jumthul Chhu from Jumthul Phuk glacier at the base of Siniolchu peak (6,888 m). Along its eastward course, Jumthul Chhu is joined by Kishong Chhu on its left bank to form Ringpi C hhu (Fig 9.3). Kishong Chhu rises in the northeastern part of the catchment and drains Kishong Chho, a glacial lake and contributes significantly to Jumthul Chhu. Thereafter, up to the proposed dam site Ringpi Chhu receives drainage mainly on its left bank from a number of streams like Ludui Chhu, Pegor Chhu, Kongcha Chhu and Zong Chhu. There are a number of small and big glacial lakes in the eastern part of the catchments, which contribute to the main river through these streams. Ringpi Chhu descends from an altitude of 4,000 m to 1,800 m within a distance of about 17.5 km with a gradient of 128 m/km. 9.2.8 Submergence The proposed project is likely to inundate a 10.75 ha of land, which is confined to the river valley. The predominant landuse in the submergence area is degraded and open forest and does not involve inundation of any village or human habitation. Thus no displacement is anticipated. 9.2.9 Landuse pattern (including land requirement of the project) The landuse/landcover pattern within the 7 km radius of the proposed Lingza H.E. project was interpreted and generated from LISS-III scene of Path/Row 107/051 of 19th January, 2000 and PAN D scene of Path/Row 107/051 of 13th January, 2002. LISS and PAN scenes of area covering 7 km radius of the project site are given in Figures 9.4 & 9.5. The first level classified landuse/landcover map generated from these two scenes coupled with ground truthing is given in Figure 9.6. Area covered by various landuse/lancover 103 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) categories is given in Table 9.2 and the percent representation of each of the landuse/landcover type is shown in Figure 9.7. Based on the data generated from remote sensing compiled with ground checks, it is clear that Dense Mixed Broadleaf forests constitute about half (50%) of the total land area, therefore form the predominant landuse around the proposed project site. The degraded types of forests, which are mostly scrub, constitute 29% of the area covering about 56.62 ha of land. It is evident from the results that the area is not significantly disturbed, as the area under human intervention around the project vicinity (within 7 km radius) comprises only 2% of the cultivation/settlement area. A sizeable portion of the area is under rocky land and cliffs comprising about 14% of land area. In addition, some fragile moraines also comprise about 4% land area. Area under snow is small constituting less than 1% land area. The analysis of the landuse/landcover indicates that the area is mostly under natural ecosystems with only limited human intervention. Natural landscape features also include areas under snow and water bodies. The dense forests in the catchment are present towards north, northeast and west. These forests are represented by Tolung Reserve Forest in the north and northeast, Sakyong Reserve Forest in the west and southwest and Lingdem Reserve Forest in the south and southeast. These forests are mostly broad- leaf forests with occasional representation of local bamboo species in them, particularly in the warmer areas.

The road is metalled upto Sakkyong and Lingsha. Beyond this there is trek route to the project site. There is also a well-deve loped trek route up to Toulng Gompa. Bank Branches SBI are present at Tolung, Chungthang and Mangan. Post office Post and telegraph office exist at Mangan, HQ of North District. 105 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Educational Facilities Higher secondary school exists at Tingbong Sec. School, Tingbong. Primary school is situated at Namprick. Community Information Centre (CIC) is there at Tingbong and Mangan and provides education in information technology to the students of the school. For higher education, students go to Sikkim Govt. College, Tadong, Gangtok, Manipal Institute of Technology Sikkim, Majitar and Sikkim Manipal University of Health Technology & Medical Sciences, Gangtok. Communication The communication network is very poor in the area. However there are telephone exchange s at locaed far away Gangtok, Phodong and Mangan. Community Information Centre (CIC) is present in Mangan, which provides internet facilities to the locals. Government Department Government department offices exist at block level in the project area. There is a District centre at Mangan. Hospitals/ Primary health Centers Primary health centres are available at Sankalang. Central Referral hospital and Sikkim Manipal University of Health Technology & Medical Sciences (Referral Hospital) are at Tadong, Gangtok. 9.3. BIOTIC ENVIRONMENT Sikkim stretches from the low lands in the south with tropical climate to the mountainous regions in the north. The altitude varies right from sea level to mountain peaks covering a wide spectrum of flora and fauna. Nowhere in the world in such a small area can one find flora and fauna of all varieties - Tropical to the Alpines. Sikkim's botanical and 106 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) zoological richness is awe- inspiring, boasting of more than 4500 species of flowering plants. 30% of all the birds in the country are found in Sikkim . 9.3.1 Vegetation (details of forest types, etc.) Its extreme altitudinal variation brings in tremendous change in climatic conditions that in turn supports the biodiversity of different heights. With only 0.22% geographical area of the country, Sikkim harbors 1/3 rd of the country’s flowering plants. There are 4500 species of flowering plants, 362 species of ferns and its allies, 11 species of oaks, 8 species of tree ferns, 448 species of orchids, 30 species of Primula and 20 species of bamboos. Many medicinal plants/herbs/and important shrubs are found in low and high altitude areas. 9.3.2 Flora The dam site is located in warm temperate hilly terrain and the area of in the vicinity of the project is mainly comprised of dense mixed fo rests. This area experiences warm and humid summers and relatively cold winters. There is warm to cool humid climate throughout the year with a short dry spell during winter months starting from October to February. Owing to extended spell of humidity and cool to moderate temperatures at these altitudes the vegetation is constituted mostly by the warm temperate deciduous and evergreen plant species. In those areas where forests are present these are densely vegetated by all the physiognomic forms – trees, shrubs and herbaceous flora. The woody elements in these mixed forests comprises of Albizia lebbek, Alnus nepalensis, Annona squamosa, Callicarpa arborea, Canarium bengalense, Erythrina arborescens, Ficus spp., Lithocarpus sp., Litsea sp., Macaranga denticulata, Rhus wallichii and Toona ciliata. Shrubby bamboo and some other associates like Abroma anguistifolia, Artemisia nilagirica, Boehmeria platyphyla , Girardiana diversifolia , Rhamnus virgatus and Rubus ellipticus form second storey. Cissus repens, Piper sp., Raphidophora decursiva, Rubia sikkimensis, Smilax sp., Trichosanthes lepiniana, etc. are important climbers in these 107 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) forests. Herbaceous flora is represented by Ageratum conyzoides, Arenaria neelagheriensis, Arthraxon hispedus, Begonia spp., Commelina bengalensis, Lecanthus peduncularis, Oplismenus compositus, Pilea scripta, Polygonum barbadens, Setaria palmifolia and Thysanolaena latifolia. 9.3.3 Fauna and Wildlife As the project site falls in the vicinity of dense forests a good presence of wildlife is expected in and around the project site. The upper part of catchments of Ringpi Chhu and Rangyong Chhu harbour several faunal species like Hoary-bellied squirrel (Callossciurus pygerithrus), Orange-bellied squirrel (Dremomys lokhriah), Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis), Himalayan palm civet (Paguma larvata), Stone marten (Martes foina ) and jackals (Canis aureus). These animals are generally found in the vicinity of agricultural fields. In addition there are also species like Civets (Viverra zibetha), porcupines (Hystrix brachyura), Grey musk shrew (Suncus murinus), the house mouse (Mus musculus) and Bandicoot rat (Bandicota bengalensis). The upper reaches, i.e. the alpine areas of the catchment harbour other mammalian species, which include Nayan, Bha ral, Snow leopard, Himalaya brown bear, Himalayan tahr, Barking Deer, Himalayan marmot and pikas. These animals however are rarely seen descending down to lower altitudes like 2,000 m. The avifaunal elements are comprised of bird groups like bulbuls, thrus hes, eagles, partridges, pigeons, doves, koels, owls, kingfishers, nightjars, woodpeckers, orioles, drongos, mynas, flycatchers, babblers, robins, etc. Among the reptiles Python molurus, Naja naja and Dendrelaphis sp. are important species found in the vicinity of project area. Among the various faunal species present in the catchment Panthera pardus, Neofelis nebulosa, Felis bengalensis, Macaca assemensis and Cervus duvaucelli are the Scheduled as threatened animals of India while Panthera tigris, Selenarctos thibetanus and Cervus duvaucelli are considered to be globally threatened species. 108 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 9.3.3 Aquatic life The rivers in Sikkim harbour a variety of fish species. Ichthyofauna in the river comprised mainly of Balm, Asala, Chepti, Gadela, etc. Snow trouts and other minor trouts are found at higher elevations. Some of the identified fish species found in the area are Schizothorax richardsonii, Salmo trutta fario, Labeo pangusia, Noemacheilus kanjupkhulens, Bagarius bagarius, etc. 9.4. Existence of any Protected Area/Archaeological Sites The dam structure and the powerhouse lies within 7km boundary of the of Kanchendozenga Biosphere reserve. However, there are no sites or monuments of archaeological or national importance, which would be affected by the project activities directly or indirectly. 9.5 PREDICTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 9.5.1. Impacts on Land Environment Sufficient amount of land will be required for construction of the proposed dam, powerhouse, colonies & approach roads etc. About 10.75 ha of land would also come under submergence. All these activities would mean some disturbance in the soil and change in the landscape. There will be changes in the Landuse of the area and in its physical composition. 9.5.2 Impacts on Water Environment The construction of a reservoir replaces the river eco-system by a lacustrine ecosystem. The vector of various diseases breeds in shallow areas not very far from reservoir margins. The breeding site for mosquitoes and other vectors in impounded water is in direct proportion to the length of the shoreline. The construction of the reservoir would increase the shoreline many times as compared to the pre-project shoreline of various rivers and tributaries under submergence. Thus the construction of the proposed reservoir may enhance the potential breeding sites for various disease vectors. 109 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) 9.5.3 Impacts on Air Environment The construction of the proposed dam would increase dust generation in the area and some vehicular pollution. However, these would only be limited to the construction period. 9.5.4 Impacts on Flora/Fauna 9.5.4.1 Impacts on terrestrial flora About 10.75 ha of land will be inundated due to construction of the proposed dam. The direct impact of construction activity of a water resources project in a hilly terrain is generally limited to the vicinity of the construction sites. A large number of labourers and technical staff and other groups of people are likely to aggregate in the area during construction phase. In this area majority of forest dwelling rural community depends on forest for food, fodder and timber. Submergence of forest area in primary impact zone may reduce the availability of resources for the local people. This would also result in significant changes at the structural resource level in forest. The acquisition of land for various project activities would also lead to cutting of vegetation on these lands. 9.5.4.2 Impacts on terrestrial fauna During the construction phase, a large number of machinery and construction labour will have to be mobilized. population. This activity may cause some disturbance to the wildlife The operation of various construction equipments is likely to generate significant noise. Likewise blasting too is likely to generate noise level and vibration intermittently. The noise may scare the fauna in the region and force them to migrate to other areas. There might be some impacts due to increased human interference. 9.5.4.3 Impacts on avi-fauna The construction of the proposed dam will lead to formation of a reservoir, which will have a fluctuation in the water level, which precisely means the reservoir bank will 110 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) remain wet throughout the year. Due to such reasons grasses may grow along the reservoir banks. Such conditions are generally ideal for various kinds of birds, especially water birds. However, because of the presence of a good habitat, it is quite likely that water birds will flock in this area in a large number. The birds from cold climatic areas could also use this area during the winter season. 9.5.4.4 Impacts on aquatic ecology: The major physical change upstream of the proposed dam will be formation of a lacustrine habitat from a riverine habitat. Whereas below the damsite, there will be regulated water or very little water in river course. As such there will be some changes in the aquatic environment in this stretch. For this the water quality analysis shall be conducted regularly. Moreover, some migratory fish species may get affected due to construction of the dam. Also some fish species, which are riverine and are not accustomed to deep lake environment, may also get replaced. 9.5.5 Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment Since the submergence area is small and is confined to the river valley, no village will be submerged. Thus displacement is not anticipated. At present, there are small business and little employment facilities in the project area. However, with the construction of the project new business and employment opportunities will open up for the local people which are likely to improve the economic conditions of the local people. Further, there will be development of infrastructure facilities as housing, water supply, medical facilities, schools, transportation and communications. These factors are expected to bring about positive impact on the socio-economic status of the people living in the project area. There is possibility of changes in lifestyle and cultural values of local people due to migrant worker population. However, the impact is expected to be low as the number of immigrant people will be small for the small project and most of the labourers employed in the project will be local people. 111 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) As a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment Study, a detailed socio-economic survey would be carried out to determine the following: ü Information on various aspects of the affected population viz; demographic details, socio -economic and cultural characteristics, enumeration of personal properties of the affected population, education level and occupational profile etc. ü Enumeration of social infrastructure and community property resources in the submergence area. ü Ethnographic assessment of PAFs. 9.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS The objective of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to ameliorate the negative impacts of a developmental project. The most reliable way to ensure proper implementation of these management plans is to integrate the same with various processes involved during project planning, designing, construction and operation phases. Based on the assessment of environmental impacts, following management plans will be formulated: Ø Catchment Area Treatment Ø Compensatory Afforestation Ø Wildlife Conservation Ø Resettlement and Rehabilitation Ø Public Health Management System Ø Muck Disposal Ø Fishery Management Ø Restoration of Construction Area Ø Green Belt Development Ø Free Fuel Provision Ø Disaster Management 112 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – X INFRASTRUCTURE Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – X INFRASTRUCTURE 10.1 EXISTING ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FACIL ITIES 10.1.1 Road Communication The road from Mangan to lingza is the approach to the Project . The Power house is located on the left bank of Ringpi Chu u/s of confluence of Rangyong Chu and Ringpi Chu near the Place called Chhana about 3.0Km u/s of village Lingza. The Powerhouse is approachable from Lingza by a road of 2.0 km and a foot path of 1.0km length from the road. Lingza is 17 Km from Magan, the head quater of North Sikkim District 0f Sikkim, 62 Km from Singtam (NH31A), 162 Km from NJP railway station and 163 Km from Bagdogra airport. The Lingza village is well connected form Mangan by a PWD road. The Siliguri-Gangtok (NH-31A) and Singtam-Mangan-Sanklan state highways are being maintained by BRO. while the Lingza-Sanklan road are being maintained by state PWD. The dam site is located near the place called Ishana and is approachable by a hilly foot path of about 5.0 Km length from the end of road. The road is available for a length of 2.0Km beyond Lingza Village. 10.1.2 Housing And Community Facilities Chhana is the name of the place near to powerhouse and Ishana to Dam site where even basic facilities of health care, schooling, market, postal and telephone etc. are not available. It is therefore necessary to plan housing, office, recreation, store etc. for meeting the requirement of the project. 10.1.3 Power Availability Sikkim, at present, is dependent mainly its mini and micro hydel power stations for meeting its power demand. The total installed capacity of state at present is about 95 MW. The state gets some share of power from Chukha Hydel Electric Project in Bhutan, Farakka Thermal Power Station, West Bengal and Rangit Hydel Power Project of NHPC 120 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Ltd. Teesta (V) HE Project, 510 MW being executed by NHPC in central sector is also under advance stage of construction. The existing transmission system of this state comprises of mainly 66 KV and 11 KV transmission lines. A 132 KV S/C transmission line is being constructed from Melli border town of Sikkim-West Bengal to Ranipool. A 132 KV sub station is being constructed at Melli. A substation of 2.5MVA, 66/11KV is located at Phodong near Mangan. Therefore , the necessary construction power shall be available for the execution of Lingza H.E. Project from some where nearby Mangan but the exact location may be decided at the time of FR/DPR. 10.2 PROPOSED ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES Keeping in view the available infrastructure facilities of communication,, housing and power, the requirement of the same for Lingza H.E. Project has been worked out. 10.2.1 Improvement Of Existing Road And Bridges The Powerhouse is located on the u/s of confluence of Rangyong Chu and Ringpi near the village Chhana . The state highway ha ving a length of 17km from Sanklan to Lingza connects the power house by a foot path of 10 Km and dam site by a foot path of 5.0 Km. Since the Lingza H.E. Project is on u/s of the Panan H.E. Project, therefore it has been presumed that all the roads and bridges shall be ready upto damsite of Panan H.E. Project. 10.2.2 Construction Of Roads & Bridges The power house shall be approached from Mangan - Lingza road from left bank for which a new project road of 3.0 Km is to be constructed from the dam site of Panan H.E. Project. The Dam site shall be approached from right bank through a bridge at Vawl. 10.2.3 Accommodation For Residential Purpose To accommodate the project employees and contractors, land would be required for construction of suitable residential complexes. The residential colony for Power house 121 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) shall be at Lingza and for dam site at Ishana where suitable land is available. The project colony would have accommodation for all categories of officials deployed for the construction. The strength of the officials and staff of various categories required for the project has been worked out. Each personal would be provided with the accommodation as per the entitlement. Keeping in view the construction period and subsequent operation and maintenance of the project, it is proposed to construct about 50% of the buildings as the permanent and the remaining as temporary. This conclusion has been drawn on the basis that 50% of the staff strength would be required for maintenance and operation after the co mpletion of the project. Requirement of built up accommodation has been worked out to 3960Sq.m of permanent built up area and 3970 Sq.m of temporary builtup area would be required. Total plinth area for residential accommodation worked out to be 7930Sq.m, 10.2.4 Accommodation For Non-Residential Purposes The office complexes are proposed at Lingza and Ishana. Workshops, laboratories, stores, water supply, fire stations, electrical substations etc would be accommodated in the project area.. One stockyard is proposed at railhead near new Jalpaiguri Railway station where construction materials like cement, steel and machinery and equipments would be store for further transportation to the project site, Batching and mixing plants are to be commissioned, one near dam site and the other near power house site. Accommodation required for non residential purposes have been worked out to be 7590 Sq.m of which about 40% would be permanent and rest will be temporary. 10.3 TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES The differ ent work sites of the project, offices, stores, laboratories, workshop and residences would be connected through a telecommunication network. The telecommunication facilities would also be provided between the projects and outside. 122 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) Therefore, an internal telephone exchange would be provided at the project for communication within and outside the project. Most parts of Sikkim are presently connected with different parts of the world through satellite telecommunication network for which an earth satellite station with electronic exchange exists. The same network would be extended to the project area for telecommunication with outstation agencies. 10.4 CONSTRUCTION POWER The construction power for the project shall be available at the time of constructio n of the project and it is presumed that till the time some mega projects in the d/s i.e. Teesta (V), Teesta(III) and Teesta(IV) would have been commissioned and a transmission line of about 20Km may be required for arranging construction power. 123 Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER – XI CONSRUCTION PLANNING & SCHEDULE Preliminary Feasibility Report Lingza HE Project (3 x 40 MW) CHAPTER –XI CONSTRUCTION PLANNING & SCHEDULE 11.1 INTRODUCTION The Equipment Planning & Construction Methodology of Lingza H.E.

The schemes thus identified were subjected to ranking studies by applying different parameters. With result of ranking studies, 162 schemes with probable installed capacity of 50,600 MW have been selected to be taken up for preparation of Pre-Feasibility Reports (PFR’s) in first phase. The schemes thus found feasible are proposed to be taken up for further development during X and XI Five Year Plans. Out of 162 schemes selected to be taken up for preparation of PFR’s in first phase, 10 are located in Teesta Basin in Sikkim. The proposed Lingza Hydroelectric Project is one of the ten schemes that are being taken up in first phase. This run of river scheme envisages construction of diversion dam/weir across Ringpi Chhu just down stream of powerhouse of Ringpi Hydroelectric Project (27O 37’ 20” N: 88O 27’ 09” E; 78 0/6), a water conductor system comprising 4 km long HRT and an underground powerhouse with probable installed capacity of 160 MW located on left bank of Rangyong Chhu downstream of its confluence with Ringpi Chhu and just north of proposed powerhouse of the Rangyong Hydroelectric Project (27O 33’ 30” N: 88O 26’ 30” E, 78 0/6) upstream of Lingza. REGIONAL GEOLOGY The area around the proposed project is located in North Sikkim in Central Crystalline axial region and is characterised by sharp crested snow bound mountains. The ridges trend both in E-W and N-S directions. Teesta River, main draining agency of Sikkim flows almost N-S in the area. The important tributaries of Teesta are Lach Chhu, Toloung Chhu Chakung Chu, Ringpi Chu and their numerous tributaries. The valleys of rivers are U-shaped and small streams have formed deep gorges. Vegetation is observed up to EI . 3.900 m and many lakes are present at high altitudes. The area around the proposed project has been mapped by Raina (1966) Chakraborti and Banerjee (1982), Kumar et al (1984), Neogi et al (1984) and Neogi et al (1986). The stratigraphic sequence established by the officers of GSI on the basis of geological mapping is given below: GROUP LITHOLOGY Gondwana Grits, pebble cum boulder beds and carbonaceous shales with occasional coal seams, pegmatite, quartzite (Tourmaline bearing) Daling Inter bedded quartzite and chlorite sericite phyllite / schist. Lingza Granite Quartzite/Biotite schist Chungthang Interbedded quartzite and garnetiferous quartz biotite schist . Calc – silicate rock / marble. Garnet – kyanite – sillimanite – biotite – quartz – schist. Central Crystalline Gneissic Banded gneiss with augen gneiss and Complex quartz – biotite gneiss. Augen gneiss The area falls within axial belt of Central Crystalline Zone of the North Sikkim Himalayas where the rock types are mainly high grade gneisses (CCGC) having interbands of metasedimentaries represented by calc – silicate / quartzite, high grade schists and their fine inter laminations. The metasedimentaries occur as enclaves in the high-grade gneisses in the area around the proposed project. All these rock types are often intruded by discordant tourmaline bearing quartz veins and pegmatite. 2 The higher grade gneisses belonging to the Central Crystalline Gneissic Complex (CCGC) Group vary in composition from a gneiss in which feldspar is predominant with respect to quartz to quartz biotite gneiss in which feldspar is almost absent (Chakraborti & Banerjee, 1982 and Neogi et al, 1986) with frequent association of garnet, tourmaline and sillimanite / kyanite depending up on bulk chemical composition. While the former type is well foliated with streaks of biotite, the latter is compact and poorly foliated. The different types of these gneisses occurring at different structural levels are banded gneiss, augen gneiss and streaky gneiss. A gradual passage from one type to other type, both vertically and laterally, is rather common. The banded type is characterized by alternate bands of quartz feldspar and biotite. These bands are at places stretched giving rise to augens which are composed predominantly of single grains of feldspar or occassionally quartz or their aggregate. The latter may be the result of metamorphic differentiation. The augens are both deformed or undeformed and are invariably warped around by biotite flakes defining the gneissic – foliation. The augens are stretched in the direction of regional schistosity. The high grade gneisses are often intruded by tourmaline granite at places and are associated with interbands of calc silicate – quartzite and garnetiferous biotite schist and various other schists belonging to Chungthang Group. These have locally been mapped as Kanchendzonga Gneiss, Chungthang Gneiss and Darjeeling Gneiss by various workers earlier. According to Neogi et al (1986), there exists a complete gradation both laterally and in down dip direction amongst above mentioned gneisses. Their repetition is due to normal morphological variation and unlinked with folding and thrusting. Various structura/textural types of these gneisses stated above have also been observed in all the so called gneissic groups of Central Crystalline axial region and have been referred as “High Grade Gneisses” of Central Crystalline Belt which are also comparable to Darjeeling Gneisses of Lesser Himalayas. The metasedimentaries of the area belonging to the Chungthang Group are represented by a sequence of lithounits varying from calcareous to arrnaceous and argillaceous lithofacies. These comprise calc silicate rocks, quartzite, high grade micaceous schists occasional amphibolites and their fine grained interlaminations. 3 Neogi et al (1986) have clubbed together calc silicate rocks and quartzites as these invariably occur together. Prominent bands of these rocks have been observed near Be and Myong, north of Talung gompa and near Phygn and south of Kishong. These have NE-SW trend are locally folded. Calcareous bands are easily identified by their greenish colour within banded calc silicate / quartzite assemblage. Apart from carbonates and quartz, stumpy diopside and needle shaped tremolite have also been observed in these. Garnet is generally leached giving rise to ferruginous staining. The quartzite is sericite quartzite. Thin laminations of biotite are observed in quartzite at places. The rocks are occasionally boudinaged. Carbonaceous biotite schist is found associated with southern west calc silicate / quartzite band. Tourmaline bearing silica veins and pegmatites have been observed occasionally intruding these rock types. Daling Series of Raina (1966) having two zones viz phyllite zone and schistose zone has been mapped as low grade metamorphites of Daling Group by Kumar et al (1984). Daling Group comprises quartz – chlorite – sericite schist phyllite, quartz – sericite schist, quartz chlorite phyllite often associated with thin interbands of quartzite. The low grade sedimentaries belonging to Daling Series from southern part of the area structurally underlie the Lingtze Granite Gneiss. Near Gyathang and at some other places, the frequency of presence of garnet is slightly higher and its grain size is controlled by the original bulk composition of the rock. According to Kumar et al (1984) these metasedimentaries typically resemble the Gorubathan Formation of Daling Group and hence been named “low Grade Daling” . The granite gneiss which crops out near north of Senkhalang with an E-W trend and northerly dips is also observed NW of Kendong and north of Karsang to form the western limb of major antiformal closure. It occupies a unique position between lowgrade and high-grade metasedimentaries and is conformable to both. This granite is a well foliated, coarse grained, sheared streaky biotite gneiss and occasionally contains garnets. At places, augens of quartz and felspar stretched parallel to the foliation plane are recorded within this unit. Tourmaline and biotite bearing granites are the younger granites having discordant relationship with high-grade gneisses and high-grade metasedimentaries. 4 Compositionally, these are mainly quartz-feldspar rich leucogranite varying from coarse grained to fine grained aplitic variety and shows disseminated flakes of biotite. Tourmaline grains are observed generally in structural highs. Gondwanas, according to Raina (1966) include grits, pebble cum boulder beds and carbonaceous shales with ocassional coal seams. Pebble cum boulder bed forms the marker horizon for Gondwana. Arkosic sandstone (felspathic grit) forms the other main rock type. It is light yellow to dark grey coloured and is infolded within pebble beds. STRUCTURE AND TECTONICS The area exposes a sequence of gneissic rocks and associated metasedimentary rocks of Central Crystalline Belt of North Sikkim and the structural fabric elements observed pertain to features in the area predominated by high grade litho-facies which have undergone polyphase deformation and metamorphism. The primary structures include compositional banding. The gneisses show lithological banding which can be attributed to metamorphic differentiation. Bedded characters are observed only in calc silicate – quartzite multilayers. The high-grade schists also show compositional banding of alternate quartz rich and calc silicate rich bands. There is no evidence however to indicate that these bandings are relict of primary sedimentary banding. However, broad parallelism of the bandings and later imposed pervasive planes, S2, indicates that these could be transposed. The secondary structures include planar surfaces like gneisses foliation, schistosity which include bedding schistosity (S1), regional schistosity (S2) and fracture cleavage (S3). Bed Gneissic foliation forms the most prominent fabric element of high grade metamorphic tectonics. These ‘S’ surfaces are marked by parallel lithological layering and preferred dimensional orientation of minerals. The gneissic foliation in the area generally trends NE-SW with moderate NW dips. The metasedimentaries associated with the gneisses show a pervasive schistosity where lithological layering is absent. The fabric is defined by preferred orientation of tabular mica crystals. Bedding schistosity (S1) is incipient and is parallel to the 5 compositional banding in metasedimentaries. This ‘S’ surface could not be related to any tectonic structure in the area and could be described as another inherited fabric element along with bedding. The regional schistosity (S2) is most pervasive structural element in metasedimentaries. The axial plane schistosity is symmetrically oriented with respect to axial planes of folds (F1). The trend of regional schistosity is parallel to the gneissic foliation. The fracture cleavage (S3) is defined by discrete parallel fractures and are also axial plane cleavages related to F2 crenulation. Due to varying styles of the F2 folds the orientation of the S3 surfaces varies with respect to regional schistosity ‘S2’. The linear structurs include striping lineation, pucker axis lineation and mineral lineation. The area comprises a sequence of high-grade metasedimentaries and gneisses that show evidence of having undergone polyphase deformation with complex pattern of folds due to repeated super-imposition of successive fold forms. Grouping of different generations of folds on the basis of styles and spatial attitudes has not been possible due to their complex forms. Broadly three generations of fold movement could be deciphered. F1 folds, the earliest recognizable folds have compositional banding and bedding schistosity as their form surface and are of tight isoclinal reclined to inclined folds. Their style and spatial orientation as observed in the area is comparable to these observed in Daling Group of rocks exposed south of present area. The F2 folds have involved all the above mentioned surfaces. These show a variety of styles ranging from appressed isoclinal folds to open warps, small-scale chevron folds or multi-hinged disharmonic folds. The calc silicate / marble quartzite bands show regional warps along NW-SE axis due to this phase of folding. The effects of F3 folds have been observed mainly on regional scale. On macro scale they are of the nature of minor broad warps that have folded the weakly developed S3 planes. No planar surface related to this phase of folding are apparent. F3 warps are only locally developed in high-grade metasedimentaries and have N-S oriented axis. Zones of intense mylonitisation have been observed in the gneisses but there is no basis to conclude that these could represent planes of thrusting on the basis of evidence like distinct truncation of lithounits reorientation of major folds (F2), development of small scale faults etc.. Chakraborty and Banerjee (1982) have marked NNW-SSE trending thrust near Manual and NW-SE trending thrust near Naga. Neogi et al (1984) 6 observed minor slips and faults occurring commonly within gneisses and metasedimentaries along S3 planes near hinge zone of F2 folds. The slips are more common where folds are tight. A meso scale normal vertical fault trending N-S has been found with in low grade metasedimentaries about 2 km north of Brang village. Silicification, chloritization and mylonitization are found along this fault plane. SEISMOTECTONICS AND SEISMICITY Seismotectonically the area under reference is located in Axial Belt of Central Crystalline Zones of North Sikkim. According to Narula at al (2000) the northern part of the area is occupied by poorly metamorphosed sequence (Tethyan) folded during Himalayan Orogeny. Similar tectonic pockets representing Gondwana sequence crop out within Rangit Window as well as lenticular tectonic wedge along the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT). The northern Tethyan Belt is followed successively to the south by highgrade complex of Central Crystallines and low-grade complex of Lesser Himalayan rock worked during Himalayan Orogeny. The latter packet is exposed within tectonic windows as well as linear belt between Main Central Thrust (MCT) and MBT. South of MBT the foot hill region is occupied by sequence of frontal belt affected by the terminal phase of the Himalayan Orogeny. Adjacent Peninsular tract is covered by Quaternary alluvial fill along the foredeep. In the southwestern part, Peninsular element is represented by small inliers of gneissic complex and Rajmahal Trap. The basement gneissic complex, representing a part of Shillong massif along with marine transgressive cover are present in south eastern part. Like other parts of Himalayas, this area is the high grade Central Crystallines from comparatively lower grade Lesser Himalayan packages which are separated from the Siwalik Belt by MBT. At places, particularly towards east, several subsidiary thrust are presented between MCT and MBT. Besides these, several approximately N-S trending gravity faults are present particularly within northern Tethyan Belt and the southern foot hill belt. Within northern Tethyan Belt these N-S faults define some well knows graben structures, viz. Pum Qu Graben and Yadong Gulu Graben. In the former, the faults affecting the Quaternary glacial deposits are clearly 7 evident. The latter graben is considered to be longest one in Tibetan Plateau and is segmented into several N-S smaller grabens. The foredeep tract east of Munger – Saharsha Ridge is known as Purnia Basin where Gondwana sequence has developed over the rifted basement. The structural configuration of this foredeep region is architectured by a set of almost N-S trending faults resulting in development of alternate horst and graben structures. The westernmost is the Munger – Saharsha Ridge which alternates towards east by Purnia Basin. The western and eastern boundaries of Purnia Basin are defined by the Munger - Saharsha Ridge Morginal Fault (MSRF) and Malda Kishanganj Fault (MKF). The former fault known as Sainthia – Brahmani Fault further south, along which cluster of earthquakes have been recorded by the Geological Survey of India, has been found seismically active. Further east the prominent tectonic feature is the Rangpur Ridge bound by MKF and Jangipur – Goribandha Fault, Teesta Fault and Katihar – Nailphamari Fault. Several subsidiary faults, parallel to Teesta Fault forming grabens are reported from ridge. Gondwana sequence is found to have developed within these grabens. Along with transverse faults, several lineaments cutting across the Himalayan belt are also present. These exhibit NE and NW trends. The NE trending Azun Lineament considered to be trace of northern extension of East Patna Fault, Kanchanjunga Lineament and NW-SE trending Teesta and Purnia lineaments are other prominent transverse lineaments. The basement contours corroborate the presence of Purnia Saddle and Rangpur Ridge. Most of the earthquakes in this area are shallow focus (<40 km) earthquakes and have magnitude range of 4.5 to 5 .5 in general. Considering the spatial distribution of seismic activity the region can be broadly divided into three blocks. The Central Main Himalayan block with considerable seismicity separates the northern Tethyan Block and southern Foredeep Block with subdued seismicity. Of the 51 seismic events recorded in the region over a period of 58 years between 1935 and 1993, five had magnitude more than 5.5 i.e. ranging between 5.5 and 6.0 and rest 46 had magnitude between 4.5 and 5.5 and 8 events with depth of focus >40 km. The depth of focus for one event, that of 21.05.1935, has been interpreted to be 140 km. As such observed seismic events are mostly concentrated in Main Himalayan Belt. Keeping in view the seismotectonic set up and seismicity, the area has been kept in Zone – IV as per Map of India Showing Seismic Zones (IS - 1893 (part –I) : 2002). 8 GEOTECHNICAL APPRAISAL The proposed Lingza Hydroelectric Project is located downstream of Ringpi Hydroelectric Project. As per geological map, the area around the proposed diversion structure exposes Banded Gneisses with augen gneisses and quartzite and biotite gneisses belonging of Central Crystalline Gneissic Complex. The rocks are well foliated and jointed. Keeping in view the general topography of the area It is suggested that type of structure and its final site be selected after assessing the thickness of overburden the riverbed and on the abutment and availability of bed rock for locating intake structure for the water conductor system. The water conductor system comprising 4 km long HRT is aligned on the left bank of Rinpgi Chhu. The rocks expected to be encountered in the proposed HRT include banded gneisses with augen gneiss belonging to CCGC in initial and final reaches and calc silicate / marble and quartzite / biotite quartzite schist belonging to Chungthan Group of metasediments along with augen gneisses of CCGC in middle reaches. The rocks of CCGC and Chungthang Group are interbanded. These are well foliated and jointed. One suspected thrust fault between rocks of CCGC and Chungthang Group may be encountered in downstream reaches. The tunneling conditions are likely to be good to fair in general excepted in the influence zone of the thrust or where local faults and shear / mylonitised zones are encountered where poor conditions can be expected. Similarly water ingress along with poor conditions can be expected in calc silicate / marble rock is these are cavernous and water charged. The powerhouse with probable installed capacity is proposed as an underground structure on the left bank of Rangoyong Chhu upstream of Lingza. The rocks exposed around the site of proposed structure are banded and augen gneisses and quartz – biotite gneisses of CCGC. These are expected to provide fair tunneling media and supports be designed accordingly. However, presence of local poor rock zones can not be ruled out. The proposed project is located in Zone IV as per Map of India Showing Seismic Zones (IS – 1893 (part-I) : 2002). Therefore, required seismic coefficient will have to be incorporated in the designs of appurtenant structures of the project. This preliminary geotechnical appraisal is without field visit to site. 9 REFERENCE Chakraborti, B., and Banerjee, H., (1982).

Noteworthy earthquakes which affected the region in the past are (i) the Cachar earthquake of 10.01.1869 (Magnitude= 7.5 on Richter scale), (ii) the Shillong plateau earthquake of 12.06.1897 (Magnitude= 8.7), (iii) the Dhubri earthquake of 02.07.1930 (Magnitude= 7.1), (iv) the Bihar-Nepal Border earthquake of 15.01.1934 (Magnitude= 8.3), (v) the Assam earthquake of 15.08.1950 (Magnitude= 8.5) and (vi) the Nepal-India Border earthquake of 21.08.1988 (Magnitude= 6.4). The 1897 earthquake had its epicentral tract in and around Shillong where there was considerable damage to lives and property, in addition to other effects of very strong ground shaking. One of the significant observations made on this earthquake was that boulders were thrown out vertically upwards from their original places showing that the force of earthquake motion exceeded the force due to gravity, at least momentarily. The earthquake was followed by a large number of aftershocks. In addition to the above significant earthquakes, the region has experienced several earthquakes of lesser intensity originating within a radius of 450 km around Shillong and neighbouring regions. A list of important earthquakes from I.M.D. catalogue occurred in the region bounded by Lat. 25.00 to 30.00°N and Long. 86.00 to 91.00°E for the period 1505 to 2001 is enclosed. The occurrence of earthquakes in Sikkim region is broadly associated with the tectonic activity along the well-known faults in the Himalayas such as the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Central Thrust (MCT). Besides, earthquakes occurring along some other faults namely Malda-Kishanganj Fault, Tista Fault, PurniaEverest Lineament, Katihar-Nailphamani Fault, Dhubri Fault etc. have also affected the region. In the seismic zoning map of India prepared by a committee of experts under the auspices of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS: 1893: Part I 2002), the entire area of Sikkim has been placed in the zone IV. The seismic zone IV is broadly associated with a seismic intensity VIII on Modified Mercalli (MM) scale. It may be mentioned that the seismic intensity VIII corresponds to a horizontal ground acceleration range of 51350cm/sec2 or an average acceleration of 172cm/sec2 in any direction. The ground acceleration and hence the intensity of an earthquake at a place depends on magnitude of earthquake, distance from the focus, duration of earthquake, type of underlying soil and its damping characteristics and liquefaction potential. The damage to the buildings 1 founded on sandy soil is higher than that in the similar type of buildings having their foundation on hard bedrock. Also, the damage will be higher for higher magnitude and long duration earthquakes, less epicentral distance soft soil conditions and area with high liquefaction potential. Presently, there is no scientific technique available anywhere in the world to predict occurrence of earthquakes with reasonable degree of accuracy with regard to space, time and magnitude. It is, therefore suggested that appropriate steps may be taken to ensure that the dwellings and other structures in the region are designed and constructed as per guidelines laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to minimize the losses caused by earthquakes. Suitable seismic design parameters may be adopted as per recommendations of National Committee on Seismic Design Parameters (NCSDP) for designing and engineering Hydroelectric Projects.
