3.1 Physical Environment
• Climate:
Manang
Temp.: 22 to 27oC (max); -2 to -9 oC (min)
Rainfall: 398 mm
Lamjung
Temp.: 26.7oC (max); 14.1oC (min)

• Landuse of RoW:
RoW will cover about 136.72ha of land which consists 52.92% (67.33ha) of terraced
cultivated land, 39.57% (57.14ha) of forest, bushland and grassland & remaining
7.51% (12.24ha) others.

3. Existing Environmental Conditions
3.2 Biological Environment
• Vegetation: Types of forest- Pinus roxburghii forest, Schima-Castanopsis
forest, Alnus forest, Pinus forest and bushes in upper stretch whereas
Shorea robusta forest in lower stretch of the route.
Operation Phase
• Electrocution of birds and mammals;
• Likely changes in biological environment.

4. Environmental Issues
4.3 Socio-Economic and Cultural Environment
Construction Phase
• Acquisition of land/private property of PAF and SPAFs; Relocation/resettlement;
• Occupational health and safety hazards;
• Loss of standing crops and farming hindrances;
• Sudden cash flow due to increased economic activities; its effects on local economy
and people;
• Change in land value
• Influx of workers; increase pressure on existing health and sanitation facilities;
Operation Phase
• Loss of agricultural productions;
• Restriction on land use pattern within the RoW;
• Farming hindrances due to tower foundations;
• Occupational health and safety hazards.

4. Environmental Issues
Public Concerns
• Compensation to be given as per the market rate;
• Structures (public and private) should be avoided as far as
possible;
• Plantation should be carried out in barren land;
• Priority for employment should be given to local people;
• Collaboration between project and communities;
• Warning signs, information boards and awareness programmes
to be carried out
• Due consultation and coordination with CFUG and ACA
management committee

4. Environmental Issues
Issues Prioritized for EIA
• Acquisition of land and assets
• Loss of vegetation and plant species
• Loss of wildlife habitat
• Compensation for land and property
• Restriction of land use along RoW
• Employment opportunities for local
• Appropriate mitigation and enhancement measures

Terms of Reference
5. Study Area
a) Direct Impact Area (DIA): The National EIA Guidelines 1993
defines the direct impact as a direct alteration in the exiting
environmental conditions as a consequences of project
activity. So, DIA includes all the components of the MCTLP
which mainly consists of 35m RoW of the TL alignment of
45.57km. In addition, the DIA also includes the substation
area and the access road.
b) Indirect Impact Area (IIA): This consists the surrounding area.
Any built-up community infrastructures and facilities, forests,
surrounding the DIA will be studied in this impact area.
