Major Observations:
The UPJN engineers has reported that, about 31.28 Kms of Sewerage Network(Branch & Trunk Main) have
been completed using the available materials, & further stated that, the Materials & Specials ordered by the
Contractor as when requirement arises, since Bulandshahr has dense area with narrow roads and lack of
storage space on the road.
Further while visiting site in Girdhari Nagar with reference to the letter of Chairman of Bulandshahr
Municipality No. 3063/chairman/2018-19 dt. : 28-12-2018, It is found that the complaints raised by the
locals were already attended and rectified. Water was stopped coming inside the new manholes, there was
some negligence found on the construction site, like not giving time for curing of manholes, it is observed
that as soon as they complete the construction of Manholes, they fill the ground with nearby soil, which is
not good for newly plastered surface. Some manholes where pipe was connected to were not sealed
properly. Proper barricading and Dangers Signage was absent from the site, Instructions were given to
contractor’s site engineers to immediately check and rectify.
Visually construction site was very unorganised which shows the lack of proper project management from
the contractor.
AE SK Sharma has informed that contractor has not submitted any project planning or schedule of work
due to which it is to difficult to understand performance. They also informed that, there is lack of skilled staff
in the contractors firm, Even after reminding many times to contractor that they have to submit the
information about the staff working on site, they failed to provide. It shows the negligence of contractor for
the work which affects the trust and confidence of the department and public.

It was also observed on the site that there was no proper means for dewatering the trenches from subsoil
water, because of this a major road in middle market feels trembling like a swamp, it shows the negligence
from the side of both the contractor and department.
Proper information should be issued to public by UPJN/Bulandshahr municipality for any kind of complaints
should be raised directly to department, so that public should know that whom they have to reach in any
kind of difficulty grievances with the work going on.
It is observed that there was so much interference of people living nearby which creates very
unprofessional environment on construction site. It was observed that there is a requirement of complaints
redressal system to avoid such situations.
On 09/01/2019 We met with Mr. Mohan Singh, Project manager, EMS Infracon Pvt. Ltd. We have informed

A Brief about the Bulandshahr sewerage scheme.
Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India has rolled out the flagship mission of Atal Mission
for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
Bulandshahr is a city and a municipal board in Bulandshahr district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It
is the administrative headquarters of Bulandshahr District. This city is part of the Delhi National Capital
Region (NCR). According to Government of India, the district Bulandshahr is the Hindu and Muslim
Concentrated District in India on the basis of the 2011 census data on population, socio-economic
indicators and basic amenities indicators. The distance between Bulandshahr and New Delhi is 68 km.
Bulandshahr lies between 28º4’ and 28º north latitudes and 77º and 78º east longitudes. The extent of
the town is 18 Sq. Km with 37 election wards.
3
As per 2011 census Bulandshahr has an urban population of 2,22,519. The population was projected
considering base year 2018, prospective year 2033 and ultimate year 2048. Incremental increase
Method is adopted for population forecast.
Climate and Rainfall
The climate of Bulandshahr is characterized by a cold winter, a hot summer and general dryness except
during monsoon season. Like other parts of northern India this district also has three major seasons –
summer, winter and rainy season. The cold winter season starts about the middle of November and
continues up to February. The period from March to the third week of June is the summer season. This
is followed by the monsoon season. The rainy season goes on till mid-October. About 86 percent of the
annual rainfall in Bulandshahr is received during June to September, July and August being the rainiest
months. The normal annual rainfall in Bulandshahr. During year the maximum temperature of the
district was 40-45º C and minimum temperature was 4-5ºC. January is the coldest month. June is the
hottest month with mercury shooting to maximum. The hot, dry and dust laden western winds add to
the intensity of hot summer. Some rains also occur in winter season from north-westerly cyclones
which proves very useful to the standing rabi crops.
Topography
The general surface of the district present almost uniform level plain with an imperceptible gradual
slope from north-west to south-east. The central portion forms an elevated plain flanked by low lying
khadar strips on the banks of two rivers. The Ganga khadar in the east is narrower and at one or two
places the river fertile soil deposits which are regularly cultivated. The Yamuna khadar on the west is
more fertile and the tract of about 8 to 16 kms width is seen except in the south where the river flows
to the eastern high bank.
Necessity of project
The town has no sewerage system and septage management except Yamuna Puram Colony developed
by Bulanshahr Development Authority which has been handed over to municipality recently. The town
predominantly depends on storm water drains for disposal of wastewater. Hence, the waste water
collected through the storm water drains is being let into the water bodies. Ultimately water bodies are
polluted within the town limits. In order to prevent this, sewage treatment plant of 40 MLD is proposed
to take care of Sewage and septage for 2033 year demand.
In view of the above necessary proposals were made in the AMRUT proposal under SAAP 2015-16. The
State Level High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by Chief Secretary to Government in its
meeting held on 27-05-2016 has approved the Bulandshahr sewerage scheme for Bulandshahr
Municipality under SAAP 2015-16 which has been recommended by SLTC. Subsequently Government
accorded Administrative sanction to the project Vide G.O. MS.No.02/2017/3908 nau-5-2016-130
budget/2016 dated 03.01.2017.
Demography
As per 2011 census Bulandshahr has an urban population of 2,22,519. The total population constitutes
1,16,266 males and 1,06,253 females - a sex ratio of 913 females per 1000 males. The average literacy
rate stands at 67.10% with 1,49,310 literates. The CAGR of the town from 2001 to 2011 is 2.86% as seen

Existing Wastewater Collection and Treatment
The town has no sewerage system. The town predominantly depends on kutcha storm water drains for
disposal of waste water. Hence, the waste water collected through the storm water drains is being let
into the river Kali Nadi. With respect to sanitation system, 99% of the town’s households are covered
with individual toilets. A small portion of the slum population defecate in the open. The details of the
existing sewage system are presented in Table below.

Soil conditions
The development of soils in the district can be ascribed to different erosional and depositional agencies.
Different morphological units have different types of soil. The soil ranges from pure sand to stiff clays
and including all combination of the two extreme litho units. The pure sand is called Bhur and clay is
called Matiar when the sand is mixed with clay in equal proportion, the soil may be termed as Dumat or
Loam – a good agricultural soil. Several subdivisions of dumat is possible depending upon the contents
of clay and sand. The word Kallor is used to denote the badland patches where nothing grows and may
be ingested with Reh at places. Alluvial soils occurring in flood plain of rivers is called Kemp and yield
good crops. Kankars associated with clay at times retard ground water movement.
Population Projections
With a precedence of past and current trends of population growth in Bulandshahr, an analysis has
been carried out with an objective of estimating population for next decades using various methods
which includes Arithmetic Increase Method, Incremental Increase Method, Geometric Progression
Method, Exponential Methods. Results of the analysis are shown in the Table below and Incremental
Increase Method is recommended for adoption in the project since it is justified.
