A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Resettlement Plan (RP) for the Contract titled “Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and
Conditional Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines within Colombo Municipal Council Area” was approved
by the ADB in September 2013. Laying a new sewer M26-ADB1 starting from the Sri Saddarma Mawatha
and Baseline Road junction at Maligawatte to the Maligawatta Pump Station is a subcomponent of the
Contract. Involuntary Resettlement activities related to this subcomponent, as per the site conditions and
construction plans prevailed in 2013 were explained in the approved RP. However, due to unforeseen and
unavoidable situations, the construction plan for pipe laying along the Mallikarama Road section of the
M26-ADB1 sewer line had to be changed. This Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP) for M26 sub-
component is prepared to accommodate the involuntary resettlement issues arisen as a result of the change.
The RP approved in 2013 identified only one household (HH) as the directly affected for relocation due to
M26-ADB1 construction. The said household was located in Mallikarama Road Dematagoda. This family
was resettled at “Laksada Sewana” housing scheme at Salamulla, Kolonnawa in 2016 before the commencement of construction work along Mallikarama Road in accordance with the RP. The RP approved
in 2013 identified only one household (HH) as the directly affected for relocation due to M26-ADB1
construction. As per the original resettlement plan it was to temporarily demolish a house and rebuild in
same place after finishing of the construction works as agreed with the affected parties and compensation
package includes cost of the construction of the house, cost for moving out to a rented place for
twelve months, cost of moving the house-hold items, etc. Total resettlement budge was Rs 1.612
million. However, during construction as per the alignment of the M26-ADB1 sewer line design team
decided to relocate shaft number 6 on the same place as of the present location of the house.
Therefore, possibility of the reconstruction of the house at same place was gone and during
discussion of the Aps they have mentioned that they may not allowed to rebuild house at the same
place due to land not belongs to them therefore they have also agreed to relocate at newly
constructed apartment at Sallamulla, Kollonawa by URP with the other compensation package on
resettlement and resettlement budget has been increased up to Rs. 4.32 million. Therefore, the
project prepared a Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP-1) as an amendment to the resettlement plan for
M26-ADB1 prepared in 2016.
During the construction further 10 households which were situated on encroached lands along the Railway
Quarters Road at Maligawatta had to be relocated to allow for construction. These ten households were
earlier earmarked for resettlement by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) well before the
commencement of pipe laying as part of the urban regeneration program of the government. It did not
materialize on time. Therefore the project had to take action to resettle the said 10 households. These 10
encroached families also have been resettled by the project at Kollonnawa, Slamulla “Laksada Sewana” housing scheme. For this purpose the project prepared a Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP – 2) and
obtained the approval from the Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government and the ADB in
April 2017.
This is the third Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP - 3) for the M26 sub-component. Altogether there
are six sewer pipe lines in the Mallikarama Road (M26, M22, M65, KS60, CS7 and CFM1) Out of which
CS7, KS60, CFM1 are large diameter pipes. These pipes are laid almost at the same elevation as of the M26-
ADB1 sewer. As a result a serious and complicated pipe conflict has been arisen between the already laid
pipes and proposed M26-ADB1 sewer. To avoid the pipe line conflict, a modification to pipe line alignment
had been carried out after detailed investigations. These modifications require extra-large diameter jacking
and receiving shafts for micro-tunneling. According to the finalized alignment, one Jacking Shaft needs to
be constructed right in front of two houses on Mallikarama Road. This shaft will obstruct the entrances to
these two houses and will create health and safety issues. Thus relocation of the residents of the two houses
5
(three families) is recommended. The expected construction period is around 8 months. Therefore it is
recommended to temporarily relocate the three families for a period of one year which will allow
contingency duration to accommodate any project delay.
All the families which are affected by construction works at M26-ADB1 sewer has agreed to temporarily
move out and stay in the rented in houses during construction works. The compensation package of the
temporary resettlement is developed after comprehensive consultation of APs and following the NIRP
(2001) and ADB Resettlement Policy. The compensation costs are calculated based on the market rates.
PMU will implement the RP with the assistance of the Project Consultant and the Contractor. Affected
parties are adequately informed of the grievance redress mechanism, and details of the Contact persons are
provided to them to discuss issues related to RP implementation. The APs have agreed to the proposal and
given letters of consent for the resettlement agreement. Total cost of temporary resettlement budget is Rs.
4,290 Million.
B. INDRODUCTION
The Greater Colombo Wastewater Management Project (GCWMP) has been designed to improve the urban
environment, public health, and quality of life for urban and suburban residents of Colombo through
improved wastewater management in Greater Colombo. The Project has three components: (i) upgrading
sewerage infrastructure, (ii) strengthening institutional and operational capacity, and (iii) project
management and implementation support. The first component involves physical construction work. The
physical work is mainly for the upgrading of existing sewerage infrastructure and it is a mix of rehabilitation
work and new construction. The physical work is divided into three subcomponents (four Contracts): (1)
rehabilitation of main sewerage system (pumping stations and pumping mains); (2) rehabilitation of sewer
lines (gravity sewers and one force main), and (3) rehabilitation of two ocean outfalls. Rehabilitation of
sewer lines involves two Contracts. These two Contracts are:
1. Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and Condition Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines
within Colombo Municipal Council Area
2. Upgrading of Wanathamulla Gravity Sewer Network for Colombo Municipal Council
This Supplementary Resettlement Plan is related to the Contract titled “Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and Condition Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines within Colombo Municipal Council
Area.” It includes six sewer lines for rehabilitation (Figure 1). Although the term rehabilitation is used in the
Contract, in reality, new sewer lines were laid in parallel to the existing sewers. The existing sewers were
made to act as branch sewers or laterals to the new sewer lines.

C. SCOPE OF RESETTLMENT
M26 is one of the six sewer lines under the Contract (1) above. Through the above-mentioned Contract (1),
new sewer line M26-ADB1 was designed to be laid in parallel to the existing M26 sewer. The new M26-
ADB1 sewer is larger in diameter and allows an increase to the sewerage service area under the existing
M26 sewer. The method of construction (pipe laying) is micro-tunneling.
The work in sub-project M26 is for upgrading the sewerage infrastructure in the Maligawatte and
Dematagoda areas. The total length of the sewer is about 1.5 kilometers, and it goes through several roads.
These roads include Sri Saddamma Mawatha, Railway Quarters Road, Maligawatta Railway Yard,
Mallikarama Road, and Dematagoda Road. The Supplementary Resettlement Plan discussed here is related
to the work of M26-ADB1 sewer along the Mallikarama Road.
The Contract is Ad-Measurement Type Contract where the project consultants prepared the designs. The
Contractor‟s design responsibility was limited mainly to minor adjustments to manhole locations and
alignment to suit the construction requirements. At Mallikarama road the arrangement proposed in the
design has come into conflict with the existing sewers. Altogether there are six existing sewers along this
road as it is located next to the Maligawatta Pump Station which is the terminal point of the drainage basin.
The sewer designs provided in the Contract were designed using the as-built drawings of the existing lines.
Special investigation works could not be carried out to physically to confirm the network alignments mainly
to due lack of such investigation facilities in the country. Pipe conflict was observed between the existing
sewers and proposed M26-ADB1 sewer when the Contractor attempted to implement the work, requiring
additional investigations and a revised design. The resettlement work discussed in the Supplementary
Resettlement Plan (SRP 3) is related to the new design of M26-ADB1 sewer along the Mallikarama Road.
The new design revised the locations of Jacking Shafts to avoid the pipe conflicts.
C.1 Objectives of the Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP – 3)
It is recommended to relocate three families living in two houses right in front of the Shaft - 4 to allow the
construction of M26-ADB1 sewer along Mallikarama Road. Shaft 4 is approximately 10 meters deep and 6
meters in diameter. A very small part of the shaft will occupy the front yards of the two houses. The
construction of the shaft is complicated heavy construction work where heavy construction equipment will
be deployed.
Construction requires the demolition of the front parapet walls of the two houses, and the gates will be
removed. The entrances to the two houses will be severely restricted during the construction. Construction
engineers informed that there are dangers to reside next to a deep excavation where heavy construction work
is taking place. Furthermore, construction-related inconveniences such as noise, dust; vibration will
adversely affect the residents of these two houses due to the proximity of the Shaft 4 to their houses. The
recommendation of the project engineers is to relocate the families living in the two houses for their safety
and health. This is a risk avoidance measure which is endorsed by the Consultants and PMU officials.
The SRP - 3 proposes payment for renting alternative temporary houses including all cost of finding
temporary accommodation, cost of transport of household goods including the cost of removing and
bringing back the household items, and all other additional costs the affected parties have to incur due to the
temporary relocation. Furthermore, an allocation is provided for payment (rent) for the use of land of the
house owners for the construction purpose. The demolished parapet walls will be rebuilt after the completion
of the work together with new gates. It is recommended to provide temporary accommodation for one year.
8
This is because the construction work requires approximately eight months. There should be a contingency
period in case of delays due to unforeseen situations or construction failures.
The SRP - 2, adheres to the principles of the NIRP (2001) and the ADB SPS 2009 and ensures that adequate
safeguards are implemented to avoid and minimize adverse impacts on the APs regardless of whether they
are legal residents or not. Details of entitlement of the affected APs are provided under the Section K
Entitlements Matrix provided in this Report.
The common construction related impacts of this sub-component, such as dust, noise, vibration, access
difficulties are explained and addressed in the September 2013 RP. The actions proposed in the September
2013 RP on those issues are still valid and will be adhered by the Contractor and enforced by the project.
The location of Jacking Shaft – 4 and the houses of the affected families are shown in Figure 2.

D1. APs Household livelihood Incomes of all HH are above LKR 100,000.00 per month thereby falling middle income category. Occupant
of the CHH of one house is Housewife and other two doing business as an income generation activity.
D2. Vulnerable AP
The one family affected in Mallikarama Road at M 26 sewer line is headed by a woman who has become a
widow due to her husband‟s death and she is over 78 years old therefore she is socially vulnerable although
she has son but he is also married. This son is involved in private sector employment. Therefore in this
context, this family can be considered as socially vulnerable.
E. SUB COMPONANT DETAILS
The work in sub-project M26 on Mallikarama Road relates to upgrading sewerage infrastructure in the
Maligawatte area. These houses located right in front of the jacking shaft number 4.
The PMU officials/Engineers, Consultants and Contractor‟s staff visited the two houses (three families) on
30 October 2018 to inform
risk of living in these houses during construction. Accordingly, it was agreed (by PMU, Consultants, and
Contractor representatives) that the best solution is to temporarily relocate the occupants of these houses to a
safer location during the construction as per the principles of the NIRP.
The construction activities will be carried out using high technology and the machinery to minimize
disturbances to the adjoining residences however; during construction works following disturbances will be
occur regarding using heavy machineries and the transporting construction machinery and the debris in and

F. SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The socio economy survey was done by consultant and the Sociologist attached to the PMU to collect socio
economic information of the affected people who are living in front of shaft number 4 at Mallikarama Road,
in November 2018. The focus group discussion and the house hold survey methodology has been used for
collecting data.
The survey result of the three families indicates that two of the families are ethnically Malay, and religion is
Islam. The other family is ethnically Sinhalese, and religion is Buddhism. All the families have monthly
income above Rs. 100,000.00 and are not beneficiaries of social support (Samurdhi). Altogether there are
nine members are affected in the three families with one child attending to pre-school. All the three chief
householders have completed secondary education and holding employment at privet sector. Annex 2
provides the socioeconomic details of the households.
G. CONSULTATION, GRIEVANCE REDRESS, AND PARTICIPATION
The GCWMP has kept the APs informed of the temporary relocation process through several meetings and
discussions with them at their premises. Details of the community consultation attached in annex-5. All APs
have agreed to resettle provided the project fully bears their resettlement cost. However, one household (No.
60/4, Mallikarama Mawatha, Dematagoda, and Colombo 09) subsequently stated that they wish to remain at
the same place despite construction related difficulties. Owners of that household requested the project to
maintain access to their house. Project officials after consulting the Contractor agreed to maintain such
access. Letters confirming the willingness to relocate to the rented houses have been received by PMU from
other APs (Annex 3). Project will assist to the APs to resettle at the same houses at the end of construction.
In addition, the project officials met the community in the Mallikarama road area at several public awareness
meetings and door to door awareness sessions. People were informed of the construction activities and
inquired about their concerns. Contractor also attended these meetings. At these meetings, several measures
were agreed to minimize potential problems to the community. Community members who attended these
site level meetings explain that they do not oppose to the planned work if the access to their houses is not
disturbed and adequate safety measures are taken.

G1. MECHANISMS FOR GRIEVANCE REDRESS
The PMU Sociologist together with the consultant and construction crew have conducted awareness
programs among APs to explain the project activities, project impacts and measures taken to address them in
November 2017. At these meeting the project sociologist explained the APs regarding the GRM available to
the affected parties. The focal point for receiving complaints and addressing inquiries is the Social and
Environment Safeguards Division in the PMU. Specific point of contact with regard to social and
resettlement issues is the project sociologist. This was explained to the affected parties and the contact
details of the project sociologist and the Team Leader of the Consultants Team were provided to the APs.
If the Grievances are not addressed at the project sociologist level or if the solution is not agreed by the AP,
such issues can be referred by the Project Director to the Safeguards Committee of the project. This
committee comprises the CMC District Engineer as Chair, a representative from the MIHA&PCLG, the
PMU Sociologist and a female AP from the affected party (if available). GRM process is depicted in Figure
4. The GRM process will not remove the right of the APs to recourse of legal action to address issues related
to resettlement.

I. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of the project (GCWMP) is the basis of the RAP defined by this
SRP-3. It is compliant with the Sri Lankan laws, the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) and
the ADB Operational Policies. Thus, the RAP is a requirement of Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)
where involuntary resettlement is involved.
The Resettlement Plan on the sub-project is developed based on the principles and legal provisions laid
down in The Land Acquisition Act, 1950 (LAA, amended from time to time) and the National Involuntary
Resettlement Policy, 2001 (NIRP). The principles of the NIRP are largely consistent with ADB‟s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995. The Project‟s core principles will be applied to involuntary resettlement
defined as follows: involuntary resettlement addresses social and economic impacts that are permanent or
temporary and are (i) caused by acquisition of land and other fixed assets, (ii) by change in the use of land,
or (iii) restrictions imposed on land as a result of the Project.
J. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT
1. Key Effects in Terms of Land Acquired, Assets Lost and People Displaced
The project physical construction works at M26 site do not require any land acquisition. But there
were potential temporary impacts related to access disruptions during construction works; there
was no any loss of assets belongs to the government or private as a result of the construction works
except 11 encroaches families at CGR quarters road and Mallikarama Road.
During project consultation and the Socio economic survey APs agreed to move from their
temporary houses to high rise building to facilitate construction work permanently. Accordingly,
project has provided houses from newly build apartment at Laksada Sewana by URP-UDA at a
cost of LKR 4 Million per each affected parties for their loss of house and provided all
compensation packages related to the relocation which was mentioned in SRP 1 and 2.
2. Primary Responsibility for Land Acquisition and Resettlement
The project has no any land acquisition of this construction site except relocation of 11 encroaches
families. However, Contractor has advised to do the construction without any harm to people or
assets in the construction site but, if there are any losses of assets or damage during construction
works it is clarified as construction induces impact hence contractor is bound to compensate for the
damages.
K. ENTITLEMENTS
The entitlement matrix applicable for the 6 sub-projects including M 26 sub project, based on the legal and
policy principles and the potential impacts, are given in Table 2 below. The procedure explained in Table 2
also applies to the RAP defined in SRP-2. All impacts will be addressed at the project-level. Relocation of 3
families in M 26 sub project area has already been discussed with the affected parties arranged. The APs are
offered a compensation package as outlined in Section I. The RAP budget is given in Section J.

APs have agreed for the project officials also to look for suitable houses for relocation.
Accordingly, the Contractor will assist to search houses through his PRO. If an AP finds the
temporary house and wishes to manage the rent payments on his/her own the total cost of
rent/lease will be granted to the AP upfront once the project is satisfied that the renting
arrangement is satisfactory to ensure one year stay.
ii. Cost of transport of household goods: Full cost allocated under the resettlement budget to cover
two-way transportation cost will be provided to the affected parties at the time of shifting to
temporary house. A letter will be obtained from the AP to that effect.
iii. Cost of transport to school and work place: Provisions are made to cover cost of transport of
the child of a AP family to attend the same school and the lady who needs to reach her work
place, both from the newly resettled house. Total cost will be provided to the AP as a one off
payment at the time of shifting provided that the distance between the resettled house and the pre-
school require vehicle transport. .
17
iv. Cost of reinstatement of parapet wall and gates and house repairs: The cost of repairs to the
property damages cost of reconstruction of parapet wall and replacement entrance gates will be
estimated at the completion of the works. Service of an independent party such as NBRO will be
obtained to estimate the repair/rehabilitation cost.
v. Land-use rent: This payment estimate for monthly rent will be calculated by the project officers
and if disputed by the AP it will be obtained from the CMC valuer. Payment will be made

c. problems encountered in the implementation of the RP as early as possible,
d. plan actions for timely resolution of the resettlement related issues, and
