Tourism destination with wide variety of activities, as well as to elevate Kannur District as a

world-class Tourism spot in the world.

The Managing Director, Kerala Irrigation Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd.

(KIIDC) is seeking to invite ‘Expression of Interest (EOI)’ from reputed, financially sound and

technically competent bidders, to conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study and

2. Prepare Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to mitigate environmental impacts.

3. Suggest Environmental mitigation measures to minimize any environmental impacts

due to the implementation of the project.

4. Support service for obtaining Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance from the

3. PROPOSED PROJECT DETAILS

3.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Muzhappilangad beach is a beach in Kerala located parallel to NH-66 between

Thalassery and Kannur. The beach is famous for being the longest drive-in beach in Asia

and that makes this place even more special. The beach is about 4-5 km long and curves in

a wide area providing a good view of Kannur on the north. Local laws allow beachgoers to

drive for a full 4 km directly on the sands of the beach with the view of Malabar Coast. The

beach is bordered by black rocks, which also protect it from the stronger currents of the

ocean making it conducive for swimming and conducting water sports activities.

The site is surrounded by low density development and has no major facilities

available to attract and retain domestic and foreign tourists. Despite this due to its natural

beauty a number of tourists visit this place every year. The proposed project will create an

attractive waterfront Tourism destination with wide variety of activities, a flood defence

mechanism for rising sea water levels as well as position Kannur District as a world-class

tourism spot in the world. Thereby the project can promote regional and state tourism,

promote economic development, improve social cohesion and promote environmental

sustainability.

The proposed project consists of different components, which are grouped under four

Character Areas and the proposed project offers a great potential and opportunity to put

Kannur on the World Map as one of the key tourist destinations to visit in India. Hence the

vision for the project is ‘To put Kannur on the World Map’. The project will require Coastal

Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance from the Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority

6. TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR EIA / EMP

Terms of Reference (ToR) for conducting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

study and preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the Comprehensive

Development of Muzhappilangad and Dharmadam Beach in Kannur District are as follows:

6.1 OBJECTIVE

The main objective of the project is to promote regional and state tourism, promote

economic development, improve social cohesion and promote environmental sustainability.

The entire project will create an attractive waterfront Tourism destination with wide variety of

activities, a flood defence mechanism for rising sea water levels as well as position Kannur

District as a world-class tourism spot in the world.

6.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The broad scope of work includes the following:

1. Coastal Regulation Zones (CRZ) clearance from the Ministry of Environment, Forest

and Climate Change (MoEF & CC), Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority

(KCZMA), and clearance from the Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB).

2. Conducting Comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study, which

includes taking the baseline data collection of air, water and noise environment, soil

characteristics, aquatic life, flora and fauna, etc. for 3 weeks and prediction of

probable impacts on the environment and ecology due to the proposed operations.

3. Preparation of Environment Management Plan (EMP) based on the Comprehensive

EIA study which includes the recommendations of mitigation measures to minimise

the adverse impacts on environment and ecology due to the project implementation.

This includes suggestions of mitigation measures to minimize the pollution due to the

entire operation.

4. Risk assessment study, if any, due to the entire process and overall suggestions in

management of the entire operation.

6.3 LEGAL ASPECTS

The proposed components in each character area, may disturb the natural profile of

the beach by huge earth filling, construction of the huge retaining walls with seating

arrangement thereupon, artificial raising of the beach topography to locate the walkways,

cycle tracks etc. at elevated levels and consequent construction of ramps and steps etc. The

project areas are located in coastal region and the Muzhappilangad beach is being used for

fishing and related activities. Any adverse impacts due to the implementation of the proposed

project on the air, water, noise and aquatic environment are to be predicted and necessary

mitigation measures to be adopted during implementation as well as operational phases. The

proposed development of the beach should not destroy the pristine character of the existing

natural beach. Hence, it is proposed to carry out a Comprehensive Environment Impact

Assessment Study to prepare Environmental Management Plan.
