Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 1 Introduction This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared to set out the measures required to be taken to eliminate and/or mitigate to acceptable levels the environmental and social impacts that may be caused during the construction and operation stages of Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Rehabilitation Project (YBUIRP) planned to be carried out under the Turkey Irrigation Modernization Project. This ESMP aims at clearly defining by whom, when, how often and how the measures will be taken during the construction and operation stages. This ESMP has been prepared in compliance with primarily the laws and regulations of Turkey, in addition to the World Bank’s policies and safeguards measures. 1 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 2 Project Description The infrastructure investments to be financed primarily under Component 1 of Turkey Irrigation Modernization Project (TIMP) include the replacement of existing open channel systems (channel and distribution structures) with closed and pressurized systems. This component will be implemented by DSI, and will include improved operations and maintenance, and capacity-strengthening support for Water User Associations (WUAs). The sub-project covered by this ESMP and to be implemented under TIMP consists of the construction works to be carried out under the modernization of existing Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation and the operation of the irrigation scheme. Through the construction works, the existing open channels will be replaced by a closed system (pressurized pipe system), which will ensure sprinkler/drip irrigation. 2.1 Project Location and Current State Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation area is located within the borders of Yozgat district and involves Boğazlıyan district and its Uzunlu Town, Çalapverdi Neighbourhood and Güveçli, Bahariye and Başhoroz villages. The project area, which covers 25 km in East-West direction and 16 km in North-South direction, is located between 39º07’30’’ and 39º16’00’’ northern latitudes and 35º07’30’’ and 35º22’30’’ eastern longitudes. Moreover, Yozgat in 1/25000 scale appears in J34-a3, J34-b3, J34-b4, J34-c1, J34-c2 and J34-d2 sheets. The main water resource of the Project is the Uzunlu Dam storing the water of Kozanderesi, which is one of the tributary of Delice River. Uzunlu Dam is located on Kozanözü (Arsızözü) stream close to Uzunlu village within the Boğazlıyan district of Yozgat. South of the project site is surrounded by Keklicek Mountain (1350 m), east by Güllü Mountain (1397 m), west by the hills of Eğri Mountain (1533 m) and north by Güvencik Mountain (1605m). The project site is located as a right and left strip around Kozanözü Stream. Its average hight is 1100 m. The works of Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation was sterted in 1976 with "Uzunlu Project Planning Report” and opened to irrigation in 1996. Even if planned as a gross area of 7800 ha and net area of 6600 ha, it was put into operation as 7222 ha in 1996. Since the existing irrigation channels were not used in 2018, the de facto irrigated area was 1996 ha. 2 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Figure 1- Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Project Location and Project Components According to the project whose water resource is the Uzunlu Dam, the water taken from the bottom outlet is transferred to the irrigation area with open channels and the area is irrigated by gravity irrigation. As per the drawing of 1986, the Length of the Main Channel: 30.6 + 29.5 km; Total Length of the Canalettes: 236.2 km; the length of Discharge Channels: 30 km; the Length of the Ditch at the end of the Canalette: 1 4.1 km. The facility whose economic and physical life is about to over should be renovated. The irrigation water cannot be transferred to the areas because of the deterioration of the channels. Considering the irrigation ratio, the network constructed with old technologies causing lower level of irrigation efficiency, the tendency of the local people to sugar beet agriculture and to irrigated farming methods with dripping/sprinkling irrigation and their insisting demand to the rehabilitation of the facility, the network was decided to be changed with embedded- pressurized-piped network. Table 1 gives the Irrigation Rate and Efficiency Taken from Water Data Base (WDB).

It is located on Kozanözü Stream and was constructed as a homogenous earth dam. The dam that is 50 m from the thalweg stores 49 hm³ water. According to the Planning Report, the crest elevation is 1182,00 m; the crest width is 12,00 m; the minimum water level is 1154,80 m and the normal water level is 1175,00 m. The spillway on the left coast has a 60 m of crest length and is an uncontrolled frontal intake structure having 1279 m³/s flow rate. And the capacity of bottom outlet is 5,08 m³/s ‘dir. The filling volume of dam body is 3,04 hm³. The minimum water level of the dam is 1154.80 m; the normal water level is 1175 m and maximum water level is 1179.83 m. Normal volume of the dam is 49.00 hm³. And the average elevation of Project site is 1100 m. 8000 ha (gross) area of Boğazlıyan District has an irrigation system constructed as a main channel: classical trapeze and a lateral tertiary: canalette. The existing irrigation network will be changed into a piped system taking water from the bottom outlet with pipes. There is a cone-shaped regulating valve that is 1200 mm in diameter in bottom outlet tunnel under the body of Uzunlu Dam, which is used for water intake for the existing classical irrigation network. Water taken here is transferred to the main channel by passing through the bottom outlet tunnel that is 3000 mm in diameter and 248 m at length. After changing the network into a piped system, a steel pipe transmission line will be installed through the bottom outlet tunnel. A regulating valve chamber will be designed in the tunnel exit; and also a branch duct will be installed for irrigation line and a valve will be installed for discharge to the stream. The irrigation water need of network will be provided with the water taken from the branch duct. According to the project formulation of Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Modernization Project, water to be taken from the bottom outlet of Uzunlu Dam with steel pipes will be transferred into a closed piped system and the area will be irrigated with the irrigation network. Within the project, PE100, GRP and steel pipes in 110 - 2000 mm diameters will be used. The main pipe at the beginning of the network is GRP that is 2000 mm in diameter. The initial elevation of the main pipe is Q= 4641 lt/sn. The length of main pipe is 23 867,19 m and the 4 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project length of secondary pipe is 189 717,17 m, which is 213 584,36 m totally. 8000 ha agricultural land will be irrigated with 213 584,36 m of embedded pressurized piped network. The engineering structures on the mentioned network are: 618 Water Intake Valves, 127 Diversion Structures, 67 5 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Pipe-End Structures, 125 Spacer Discharge Valves, 83 Air Valves, 10 Line Closing + Ventouse, 15 Vertical Elbow Anchoring Blocks, 89 Horizontal Elbow Anchoring Blocks, 9 Cut-and-Cover Type Road Crossing Structures, 13 Drilling-Type Horizontal Road Crossing Structures, 12 Road Crossing Structures with Single-Barrel Culvert, 2 Road Crossing Structures with Double-Barrel Culvert, 10 Outfall Structures of Outfall Channel.

For the mentioned borrow pit, No Environmental Impact Assessment is Required Decree was agreed with the Decree No 226 dated 28.08.2013. (See. Annex 6) The field of activity (Block No 220, Parcel Number 359) is in the character of green field and recreation area belonging to Uzunlu Municipality. According to the PIF, the buildings belonging to Uzunlu Municipality are located at a 800 m distance of the North- Western side; an irrigation channel is located at a 100 m distance of the Northern side; the Uzunlu Dam is located at a 650 m distance of the Eastern side and the Bağlar stream is located at a 250 m distance of the Northern side of the EIA area of the project. Other Facilities and Buildings According to the site investigations, there is no tributary rivers that need to be rehabilitated and that will negatively affect the project site in drainage works with floods and erosion. The karstic geology and high permeability of the project site has been evaluated; and no drainage necessity is foreseen. Storage areas will possibly be needed for the materials remaining from the canal excavations of Project construction. Wastefill areas have been determined for the sites having EIA Not Required Documents. However, no storage areas for the materials remaining from the excavations of underground piping have been determined within the irrigation project. If such an area is needed, DSI or the Contractor will apply to the related Municipality and/or Yozgat Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization and will determine the suitable storage area. 8 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 3 Legal Framework and Applicable World Bank Safeguard Measures This section sets out the requirements of laws and regulations as well as the World Bank safeguard measures taken into consideration when preparing the ESMP. 3.1 Legal Framework As indicated in Section 1, the ESMP has been prepared in compliance with the laws and regulations of Turkey and with approved ESMF prepared for the Irrigation Modernization Project. Environment Law No. 2872, published in the Official Gazette of Republic of Turkey no. 18132 dated 11 August 1983, and amended through Law No. 6486 published in the Official Gazette dated 29 May 2013, is Turkey’s primary framework for environmental legislation and is supported with many regulations. Article 10 of . Environment Law draws the overall framework of the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA Regulation), published in the Official Gazette no. 29186 dated 25 November 2014. However, the Turkish EIA Regulation does not cover irrigation projects. For this reason, irrigation projects are exempted from the EIA process. On the other hand, as part pf the European Union membership process, Turkey has made many institutional and legal reforms. Thanks to these reforms, environmental legislation and environmental safeguards have been aligned with the international standards.

These legal arrangements include the following:  Law on Ground Waters (Law no. 167), published in the Official Gazette no. 10688 dated 23 December 1960;  Law on the Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets (Law No. 2863), published in the Official Gazette no. 18113 dated 23 July 1983; 10 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project  Highways Traffic Law (Law No. 2918), published in the Official Gazette no. 18195 dated 18 October 1983;  Highways Traffic Regulation, published in the Official Gazette no. 23053 dated 18 July 1997;  Regulation on Opening and Operation of Workplaces, published in the Official Gazette no. 25902 dated 10 August 2005;  Regulation on Buildings to be Constructed in Disaster Prone Areas, published in the Official Gazette no. 26582 dated 14 July 2007;  Regulation on Buildings to be Constructed in Seismic Zones, published in the Official Gazette no. 26454 dated 06 March 2007;  Regulation on the Transportation of Hazardous Substances via Highways, published in the Official Gazette no. 28801 dated 24 October 2013;  Regulation on Principles and Procedures Governing the Production, Import, Transportation, Storage, Sale, Use, Disposal and Control of Non-Monopoly Explosives, Hunting Materials and the Similar, published in the Official Gazette no. 19589 dated 29 September 1987;  Regulation on Septic Tanks Constructed in Districts without Sewerage System, published in the Official Gazette no. 13783 dated 19 March 1971. The EIA Regulation in force requires limited and project-specific assessment of social impacts. In this context, it does not satisfy international standards. Still, through the reforms implemented in recent years, some legal arrangements that will help manage social impacts have been added to the legislation. Some of these are listed below:  Law on Occupational Health and Safety (No. 6331), published in the Official Gazette no. 28339 dated 30 June 2012, and other relevant regulations  Regulation on Sub-Employers, published in the Official Gazette no. 27010 dated 27 September 2008 In terms of involuntary resettlement, some of the relevant legal arrangements of Turkey are listed below: 11 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project  Expropriation Law no 2942, published in the Official Gazette no. 18215 dated 8 November 1983, and other relevant regulations  Law No. 4650 on the Amendment on Expropriation Law, published in the Official Gazette no. 24393 dated 5 May 2011 Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Modernization Project is within the Deliceırmak Part of the Boğazlıyan Sub-basin of Kızılırmak Basin. Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Project is exempted from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process and Yozgat Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization has expressed opinion with its letter No 3568 dated 04.07.2011 (See, Annex 6). 3.2 World Bank’s Safeguard Policies The World Bank’s environmental and social safeguard policies require the borrower country to conduct an Environmental Assessment in compliance with the EIA Regulation and the World Bank’s operational policy on environmental impacts (OP 4.01). In this direction, this Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared to fulfill their requirements of the World Bank’s policies on Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) and Physical and Cultural Resources (OP 4.11). The objective of this plan is to assess the project according to its potential social and environmental impacts and define environmental and social management conditions. World Bank’s Safaguard Policies and the standarts and criteria stated in the Environment, Health and Safety Guideline are part of the project standarts. OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment: Activities carried out in the scope of simple construction works, by their nature, create environmental and social impacts which are not very critical, within the existing project boundaries. WB’s Environmental Assessment Policy has to be applied even if the impacts are not very critical. Together with the implementation of OP 4.01, environmental and social management instruments have to be prepared. The ESMF includes a consideration of the broader impacts of the transformation of the open- channel irrigation systems to “closed” water systems, as well as mitigation measures to address any negative impacts. Moreover, the ESMF aims to address water utilization and its potential impacts on resource sustainability, communities and other water users. 12 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project The key social and environmental impacts that may be caused by the project are expected to affect the sensitive recipients near the project area (e.g. schools, hospitals, health centers, houses). In this context, the whole project area and surrounding areas have been evaluated in terms of vulnerable recipients. It is expected that the negative environmental and social impacts are limited to basic construction work impacts. In general, major impacts are related to excavation, waste disposal, disposal of demolished material, loss of topsoil and vegetation, dust formation, noise, occupational and community health and safety. Since it is anticipated that these negative impacts are temporary and reversible, are mostly limited to the work site and that the irrigation modernization work is exempt from EIA Regulation pursuant to the Turkish environmental legislation, the Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Modernization Project, by considering its possible temporary impacts, is evaluated as a Category B project. Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04: The resource of the existing Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation to be modernized is the Uzunlu Dam. In addition, no Protected Area (National Park, Natural Park, Environmental Protected Area, Wetland, Wildlife Improvement Area, Protection Forest, Honey Forest, Genetics Sites, Specific Environment Protection Regions) has been detected within the Project Site according to an investigation given in http://geodata.ormansu.gov.tr/ within above-mentioned laws and regulations of Turkish Republic. (See Figure 2) 13 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Figure 2- Protected Areas and Wildlife Physical Cultural Resources OP/BP 4.11: Triggering of this policy will depend on the outputs of the project preparation stage. The laws especially Law No. 2863 and Law on Protection of Cultural and Natural Properties dated 21/07/1983 (together with amendments published on the official gazette on 27/07/2004), practices in Turkey, satisfy the requirements of World Bank (WB). Law No. 18485 and Regulation published on the official gazette on 10.08.1994 on Inspections, Drilling, and Excavations regarding Cultural and Natural Properties determines procedures and responsibilities concerning Cultural and Natural Properties found during the construction. DSI is responsible for implementation of the above- mentioned law and regulation. DSI is liable to avoiding or mitigating impacts on physical or cultural resources of the financed projects. Therefore, DSI will not proceed with sub-project funding until all requirements of the Turkish legislation are met. Since the national legislation on the protection of cultural assets is strictly implemented, an additional condition beyond the WB safeguard policies is not expected. However, a chance find procedure including responsibilities for managing accidently discovered or chance find cultural artifacts, which will warn the supervision consultants and contractors about the steps to be followed, will be implemented. Additionally, all relevant official letters to be exchanged before or during construction activities will be recorded and annexed to periodic monitoring reports. First Degree Archeological Sites defined in the irrigation area have been explained in Chapter 4.6. Registered these areas will be assessed as non-irrigable areas. Borders of the First Degree Archeological Sites will not be infringed during the construction under any circumstance(s) whatsoever. Provinces Bank 9th Regional Directorate, Yozgat Province and Forestry Directorate, Yozgat Mayoralty, Boğazlıyan Mayoralty, General Directorate of Turkish State Railways, Yozgat Province Telecommunication Administration, Electricity Distribution Province Administration (ÇEDAŞ), Pipe Lines (BOTAŞ) and Oil Transportation Corporation Kayseri Operation Directorate, and Yozgat Province Gendarme Regimental Commandry have been informed and consulted with official letter No. 266490 ,dated 19.07.2011during the project preparation stage. 14 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12: The project involves the conversion of open channel systems (channels and distribution structures) with closed pressurized systems. The construction activities to be undertaken for the replacement or expansion of these channel systems are planned in order not result in an involuntary land acquisition. In case of involuntary land acquisition, the areas exceeding 10% of Distribution Participation Share are expropriated. Although the expropriation is needed in the projects where the areas exceeding 10% of Distribution Participation Share are implemented, DSI has not taken away more than 10% of Distribution Participation Share up until now. General application is about 3-6% of Distribution Participation Share. Expropriation need is not expected in Uzunlu Irrigation Project for Distribution Participation Share. Although expropriation is not expected in this stage, expropriation works will be implemented according to Land Acquisition Plans to be set out by DSI if it is needed in later stages. Land consolidation works started on 21.12.2017 and continue for Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation. Public display and objection periods are over. Objection request, if any, will be evaluated and final Public display period will start. Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37: Uzunlu Dam within the project is irrigation and flood control purposed dam. The aim of the Uzunlu Dam is irrigation in project area (8,000ha). Uzunlu Dam is operated by Boğazlıyan Water Users Association. It is under the control of DSI 12th Regional Directorate in terms of irrigation efficiency and irrigation rate. Draft Safety Work is executed in irrigation purposed dams and small dams. With regard to the subject matter, a World Bank Dam Safety Exert visited the site of Uzunlu Dam on 28 March 2018 and reported his conclusions. According to these results, there is no structural problem with the dam, and there is no situation that requires urgent intervention either. The measures recommended specifically for Uzunlu Dam have been shared with DSI and DSI will be responsible for the implementation of these measures. These measures can be summarized as follows: i. Regular leakage monitoring and suspended sediment measurement should be implemented for 2 years. ii. Two piezometers should be placed at downstream crust so as to monitor water table of the dam body. iii. Left bank should be kept under surveillance in order to define leakage, which started recently. iv. Global Movement Readings should be recorded, totalled, and pointed off the places. v. Sound earthquake movement detector should be placed at the dam crest. vi. Operation and maintenance manual as well as instrumentation plan should be updated. They should be present at the dam site. vii. A dam record book should be prepared. viii. An emergency response plan should be prepared. ix. Reservoir bathymetric survey investigation should be set out. 15 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Projects on International Waterways OP/BP 7.50: Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Dam is irrigation and flood control purposed dam and is not an international waterway. In addition to applicable precaution policies, the World Bank Group General Environmental Health and Safety Guidelines are also applicable for this project and shall be followed when relevant. 4. Environmental and Social Background This section discusses the current environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of project area and its environs. The information provided in this section has been compiled from the studies conducted and results reports prepared so far in the region. 16 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 4.1 Geographical Formation and Geology Baraklı Formation: Red-brown,, vinous and gray, medium thickness layer, cross layer from place to place without layer in places, unit formed from angular sandstone and mudstone generated magmatic, metamorphic rock, unit formed from granular loose attached terrestrial stone and mudstone is the formation named as Baraklı Formation by Kara(1991). Baraklı Formation is equipollent to Eagle Formation (Rigo de Righi and Cortesini, 1982), one section of Eosen flişi (Ketin, 1963), terrestrial section of Kocakaya formation (Birgili et al. 1975) and Eagle 2 formation (Seymen, 1982). The unit covers the surface of Dereçepni, Pınarkaya, Çokumağıl, Kuruhöyük, Menteşe villages and their environs. It covers the units of pre-tertiary in disconformity. According to Melanatria cf. cuvieri (DESHAYES) (def.İnal. A., 1979), Velates schmideli CHMNITZ, Ostrea (Gigantostrea) gigantica SOLANDER, Ampullina aff. aizyensis DESHAYES, Campanile tchihatcheffı (d' ARCHIAC), Ostrea uncifera LEYMERIS (det:Güngör, 1979) fossils taken from transitional lateral and vertical marina units, the age of the unit must be Down-Middle-Upper Eosen. Çayraz Formation (Teç): the unit formed from conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, claystone, marn, and limestone is called as Cross Formation by Schmidt (1960). The unit is equipollent to Sıddıklıküçükboğaz conglomerate, Arzılar conglomerate, Çadırlıhacıyusuf Formation, Meşeköy Formation defined by Kara ve Dönmez (1990), Çevirme Formation defined by Kara (1991), Keklicek Formation defined by Kurt and others (1990). The unit has been differentiated by constituting of conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone in downwards, and middle thickness limestone in upwards, Arzılar limestone in interface. The unit covers large plains around Gülpınar, Konurlu, Yapalak, Dereçepni, İğdeli, Uzunlu, Menteşe villages as well as Keklicekdağı, and Keldağ mountains. Arzılar Limestone Member (Teça): Constituting dominantly limestone, yellow, white, beige, and middle thickness abundant fossiliferous layered, solid in places, Arzılar Limestone Member (Teça) has been called by Oktay (1981). Detrital surfaces exist on sections where the unit settles to the base directly. The unit covers the surfaces of Yapalak, Menteşe villagis as well as around Keklicek, Keldağ mountains. Arzılar Limestone Member features abundant foraminifer and contains fossils especially nummulite as well as coral, gastroskop and lamella. Arzılar Limestone Member must be age of Middle-Upper Eosen according to Nummulites cf. aturicus JOLY ve LEYMERIE, Assillina cf. exponens SOWERBY, Lockhartia cf. alveolata SILVESTRI, Fabianina cf. cassis OPPEN HEIM, Assilina cf. aspera DONCIEUX, Assilina spira (de ROISY), Eorupertia magna Le CALVEZ, Globorotalia cf. senni BOULBROOKI, Discocyclina sp., Operculina sp., Sphaerogypsina sp., Actinocyclina sp., Asterigerina sp., Rotalia sp., fossils taken from the limestone. The unit is member of Kurtini limestone cherty of Arzılar limestone (Oktay, 1981), and is equipollent to member of Dulkadirl limestone defined by (Kurt and others, 1991) and Kara (1991) İncik Formasyonu (Toi): Constituting terrestrial, red, wine color, and middle thickness 17 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project conglomerate, yellow and green sandstone, siltstone, claystone, gypsum-filled, and slightly limestone, Incik Formation (Toi) has been called by Birgili and others (1975). Incik Formation (Toi) is equipollent to Mezgit Formation (Rigo de and Cortesini, 1959), Mezgit group (Uygun et al. 1981), Kızılöz Formation (Atabey et al. 1988), and Deliceırmak Formation defined by Kara and Dönmez (1990). Sandstone in the formation contains of canal fillings attached firmly in 20-80 cm thickness and cross layers. But, limestone and siltstones are generally fine layered, laminal in places. The formation generally contains of sediments of rivers and lakes. The unit is transitively and compatible with Cross formation, but not compatible with Urgup formation. Within the work area, it spreads around Fakılı township and along Kozanözü stream. Considering its relations with Cross formation and Central Anatolian group, it should have been deposited within the possible age range of between Upper Eosen-Miyosen. İncik formation is accepted as Oligocene aged. (Kurt and others., 1991; Atabey et al., 1988). Central Anatolia Group (Ti): Neogene terrestrial sediments in Central Anatolia have been studied in detail in some areas. However, in some areas, streams, lake terrestrial facies and stratigraphic properties have not been studied in detail. For this reason, Middle Miocene-Pliocene undifferentiated terrestrial facies in the Central Anatolia region were collected under the name of the Central Anatolia group in order to solve the problems arising from the marginalization of different facies in the 1/100 000 scale geology maps. Previously, identical rock units in the western section were investigated by Kara (1997) under the name Kızılırmak formation. The sections of the unit, which are deposited in terrestrial conditions, represented by slope debris, are composed of red colored, non-grained conglomerates, sandstones and mudstones. The sections forming the channel facies are red, brown colored, cross-layered, conglomerate, sandstone and mudstone bands and lenses. The sections, which are relatively upper parts of the unit and represented by lacustrine facies in the middle of the basin are made up of unattached sandstone, mudstone, gypsum and anhydrite, and in some places conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, limestone and ignimbrite interlevels. The sediments of the Central Anatolian group unconformably overlie the pre-Miocene rocks. Overlying the unconformably Quaternary sediments are found. The age of the Central Anatolia group is Upper Miocene-Pliocene according to fossils that researchers obtained from different locations where the unit spread. These fossils are ostracodlar Cyprideis cf. vetroundulate KIRSTIC (det: Gökçen, 1980), Cyprideis torosa JONES, Cyprideis tuberculata (MEHES), Jlyocypris gibba (det: Erkan, 1980), the mammal fossils of Equidae (Horses) family member Hippraion gracile KAUP (det: Ozansoy, 1980) , A lower molar tooth from the order of Proboscidea (hose mammal), Choerolophodon pentelic, and other bone and tooth fragments from monolithic solaris, Pityosporites microalatus, Periporopollenites multiparatus from charcoal bands. However, the age of the sediments were accepted as Middle Miocene-Pliocene taking into 18 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project account the sedimentary and transitional and alternating outcrops of volcanic age which can be evaluated in the Central Anatolia group via research by Özcan et al. (1990) in Konya, Kadınhanı, Ilgın area. Travertine (Qtr): The unit is composed of white, beige, cream colored carbonate sediments. It was formed by hot water activities developed by young tectonic movements affecting the region. It is exposed in the vicinity of the village of Bahriye in the study area. Alluvium (Qal): Alluvium, which is the youngest formations of the study area, is the storage of gravel, sand and clay on the plain and valley beds. Structural Geology and Tectonics: There are three rock + units in the study area that have not encountered tectonic events. Theseare unconformably overlain by semi-crystallized limestones. Conglomerate-Sandstones and limestones from Marn. On the Paleotography of the semi-crystallized limestones, which were passed as a Paleocene uplift and erosion cycle, the Conglomerate-Sandstones and Marnlı limestones of the lukes were deposited. As a result of the orogenic banquets that continued until the end of the Oligocene, folds and faults occurred. The fold axes are generally E-W oriented and plunged into W. Although there are differences in short distances in the direction and slope of the layer, especially the layer directions conform to the directions of the fold axes. Layer slopes vary between 15-30 °. On the map renewed by the AFAD Earthquake Department Directorate (AFAD, 2018 Earthquake Hazard Map of Turkey) "peak ground acceleration values" phrase was used. According to this renewed map, the maximum ground acceleration values of the project area are between 0.0 (g) - 0.1 (g) (low hazard). 4.2 Water Resources and Hydrogeology The main water source of the project is the Uzunlu Dam, where the waters of Kozanözü Creek, one of the side branches of the Delice River, are stored. Yozgat Uzunlu Irrigation Piped Network Project Construction Hydrology Report (2011) was prepared. A water balance sheet study was conducted for Uzunlu Dam. The number Gaging values for a period of 26 years have been obtained from the Flow Observation Station No.15-206. It has been found suitable to be used as water supply since the Flows of Observation Station No.15-206 are continuous and cover the last years, it is a direct dam inflow and it covers a sufficient period of 26 years. The rainfall area of Observation Station No.15-206 is 574.8 km 2 and the rainfall area of Uzunlu Dam is 579.1 km2. Since the rainfall rate is less than 1%, the currents in the Observation Station No.15- 206 are also taken for the dam site. The annual average water of the Uzunlu Dam between 1985-2011 is 39.01 hm³ (1,236 m3 / h). The meteorological station representing the project site in terms of rainfall is the Boğazlıyan (DMİ) Meteorological Station. The station is in operation since 1941. Rainfall between 1941-1951 and 1954-1957 is halted. For this reason, years of rainfall between 1952, 1957-2010 have been taken. The average annual precipitation of this station is 386.5 mm according to precipitation observations 19 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project between 1952-2010. The most precipitation falls in April with an average of 55.3 mm and the month of precipitation falls in August with an average of 4.4 mm. The average annual temperature between 1964-2010 is 9.4 ºC according to Bogazliyan State Meteorological Station (DMI). The highest temperature in July, with an average of 20.6 ºC, the lowest month is January with an average of -2.0 ºC. The average temperature of the reservoir area is 11.5 ºC per year. The average annual evaporation obtained from the same station between 1985-2010 is 995.4 mm. The highest evaporation occurs in July with an average of 222.3 mm. 20 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 4.3 Soil Composition As stated in the Agricultural Economics Planning Report of the Yozgat-Boğazlıyan-Uzunlu Irrigation Rehabilitation Project dated 2011, the valley floors in the riverbed of the project area are of base land and the valley edges are slope land. Inclination of base land is 0-2% in the flow direction of the creek. There are some lands that cannot be irrigated due to the inclination direction and these lands were identified and left out of the irrigation area. The alluvial soils constitute the general area of the study area in the project area, which generally consists of alluvial and collovial soils, and the structures, granites are 150 cm deeper and deeper. Collovial soils lie in the north-south direction of the site. Their structure is heavy and medium and their structures are granular. Plain soils are composed of different structure soils. 81% of the top profile is heavy; the bottom profile shows heavy construction land. Lime content of soils is 5% and more. It is about 0.5 cm / hour in the area determined as irrigation area in terms of salt and sodicity in the study area. An area of 16126 ha was surveyed within the scope of the Uzunlu Project Planning Report of 1976. Of this, 50 hectares (0.31%) are 1st class, 8980 hectares (55.69%) are 2nd class, 3277 hectares (20.32%) are 3rd class. 1,749 hectares of land is considered as 6th grade. The project area was examined in terms of soil, topography and drainage, and the lands were classified for irrigability. 4.4 Climatic Features The project area is under the influence of the continental climate of the Central Anatolia Region. Winters are harsh and rainy; summers are hot and dry. Temperature differences between day and night are high. According to the precipitation observations of Boğazlıyan meteorological station between 1957 and 2010, the average annual precipitation is 377.8 mm. The most precipitation falls in April with an average of 55.3 mm and the month of precipitation falls in August with 4.4 mm. The average annual temperature is 9.4 ºC according to the measurement values of Boğazlıyan (DMİ) station. The highest temperature is July with an average of 20.6 ºC and the lowest month is January with an average of -2.0 ºC. The average temperature of the reservoir area is 11.5 ºC per year. 4.5 Flora and Fauna Flora and Fauna data related to the Project Area are included in the Project Introduction File for Uzunlu Dam Quarries. The information provided in this report is summarized below. The project area remains within the Central Anatolia Region. The Central Anatolia Region has a continental climate with hot and dry summers and cold and snowy winters. Natural vegetation varies from place to place according to climate characteristics. The most common steppes are seen. The steppes are more common in places not high. Rainfall increases with increasing height. Oak forests and shrubs are encountered. Willow and poplar trees grow along the length of the river. It lies within the phytogeographic region of Central Anatolia Region Iran-Turanian. There are two main types of vegetation in this region. 21 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 1-Forests generally composed of deciduous trees: The predominant plants of the broad-leaved forest formation, which are widespread in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia, are various Quercus species, the most common of which are Q. brantii and Q.libani in the East and especially in the Southeast. Other woody plants in these forests are Pyrus eleagnifolia, Amygdalus spp., Juniperus spp., Crataegus spp. 2-Stepless steppes or steppes without trees: It covers very large areas.

Step formation is named after Stipa which is the most dominant plant of Central Asian steppes. In the steppe fields, especially when the typical steppe plants around the barn and the village lead to disappearance, the communities dominated by nitrophilic plants are formed, which is the most prominent type of these communities. Apart from these two common types of vegetation of the Iranian-Turanian floristic region, in some small areas, other types of communities are formed in relation to the topographic structure of the region.

(See Figure 2). 22 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Natural Sites and Archaeological Sites in and near the Project Area have been examined. Figure 3- Archaeological Protected Areas In the archaeological sites, irrigation areas will not be intervened and work will not be carried out in these areas. Cavlak Natural Protected Area: It is located to the south of Bahariye Village, 4 kilometers west of Boğazlıyan District in Yozgat Province. There are two ponds formed by the hot water springs. To the south of the lakes, there are cliffs with natural cavities on the north-facing façades in an east-west extension of 30- 40 meters in height. These cavities do not provide a specific plan. To the east of the rocks are 2 splayed hills (tumuli). The large hill in the east measures 15x20 meters; It measures 15x20 meters to the west of 80 meters. There is a triangulation sign on the small hill. Ceramics of the Roman Period were found on the large hill to the east of these tumuli. (Source; http: //www.yozgatkulturturizm.gov.tr.) The area is outside the project area. While the said protected area is outside the project area, the boundaries of the area will be taken into consideration during the study, necessary precautions will be taken and the coordinated work will be carried out with the responsible institutions and organizations. There are Böğrüdelik Tumulus (Uzunlu), Keçikıran Tumulus (Boğazlıyan), Sarayaltı Tumulus (Boğazlıyan), Süleyman Tumulus (Güveçli), which are registered as Archaeological Sites within and near the project area. (See Figure 3) Böğrüdelik Mound (Uzunlu); While remaining outside the irrigation area, the construction of the mound will be considered, necessary precautions will be taken and coordinated with the responsible institutions and organizations.

Population data of the settlements affected by the Project area are given in the table below. According to 2017 data, the number of the population affected by the project site is 20,172. 26 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project One of the main reasons for the population loss in the region, whose economy is based on agriculture, is that the existing irrigation system cannot provide adequate services. Sugar beet cultivation is widespread in the region, as well as developments in vegetable and fruit and cereal fields. Table 9- Annual Population data of the Project Region Settlement Place Years 2011(people) 2017 (people) Boğazlıyan 16 721 16 510 Bahariye Village 431 351 Başhoroz Village 234 158 Çalapverdi Village 1334 823 Güveçli Village 155 131 Uzunlu Town 2343 2 199 TOTAL 21 218 20 172 4.7.2 Education 92 % of the population in the center, towns and villages of Boğazlıyan District is literate. There are 1 kindergarden, 15 primary schools, 9 secondary schools, 5 imam hatip secondary schools, 6 high schools, 1 Teacher’s Houes, 1 Evening Art School, 1 Public Education Center, 2 Driving Courses, 1 Rehabilitation Center and 1 Secondary Education Dormitory for Boys in the District. Furthermore, there is Boğazlıyan Vocational Higher School attached to Yozgat Bozok Konya University. 4.7.3 Healthcare Services In Boğazlıyan district center, there is 1 Community Health Center, 4 Family Health Center and 1 State Hospital. 4.7.4 Infrastructure Services As a result of field studies, it has been found that all settlement units in the project area have sufficient drinking water network. Transportation facilities are rather good in the project area. D805 Highway is passing through the district center. 116 km long. The distance between Boğazlıyan and Yozgat is 116 km. This distance decreases to 90 km by following city centers. Bozğazlıyan district center is 75 km away from the Ankara- Yozgat - Sivas E88 Highway. Boğazlıyan District center is 85 km. away from DSİ 12nd Regional Directorate (Kayseri) from D260 and D805 highways. Uzunlu is 105 km away from the same highway. 27 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Most of the rural roads within the project area are asphalt coated, and there is no access problem in winter or summer. Since the project area is Boğazlıyan district and its close vicinity, communication facilities are rather good. In addition to PTT organization, people have a broad access to mobile communication as well. It is possible to reach all settlements within the project area. Access to all field parcels will be possible together with consolidation. 4.7.5 Sources of Livelihood The primary economic activities in Boğazlıyan and in the project area are plant production and husbandry. Boğazlıyan owns the largest animal market in the Central Anatolia region. Grains and sugar beet cultivation is widesapread throughout the district. Sugar beet is cultivated throughout the irrigable area of the irrigation area. In addition, fruit, legumes, vineyards and vegetables are cultivated even in small amounts. The largest agricultural product production in the region is sugar beet. The reason for this is the Boğazlıyan Sugar and Products Integrated Plant. There are also feed mills, flourmills, dairies, milk collection centers and chips factories in the region. There is no market problem in the sale of products produced in the irrigation area. Boğazlıyan district is both a producer and a consumer. Kayseri, Yozgat and Ankara are the markets for those products. There is a marble mine reserve operated in and around the project site. There are also geothermal water resources in Bahariye (Cavlak) Region. For Tourism purposes, the region is a very old settlement unit during the history. There are historical ruins but they do not have touristic value. There are thermal springs near Bahariye Village. It is stated that agreements have been made in order to establish health centers in international levels on these thermal springs and they are expected to be operational in a short time. With the realization of the project, the amount of agricultural production in the irrigation area and the income of the farmers will be increased and the life level of the farmers will raise. This will enable to make great economic and social gains in the region. 28 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 4.7.6 Land Use and Crop Pattern According to the project studies, 1125 property land was determined in the irrigation area. The number of landless families is negligible. The studies were carried out in 3 layers according to the size of the enterprises. Accordingly, property size is 53.4 da in 1st layer, 159.8 da in 2nd layer and 345.5 da in 3rd layer. Enterprsie size is 52.7 in 1st layer, 167.4 da in 2nd layer and 487.8 da in 3rd layer. The total number of enterprises within the irrigation area is 1222. The average enterprise size in the area is 64.79 da. With the project, crop yields of the existing plants will increase and it is envisaged that the ecologically suitable crops that cannot be cultivated because of the water insufficiency will also be included in the project area. The products planted in the project area under the current conditions and the projected conditions, the cultivation areas and the cultivation rates are listed in Table 9 and Table 10.

In the current land consolidation applications, there was no need for expropriation. There was not any expropriation work carried out, apart from the expropriation made at the first phase of the construction (first expropriation was made in 1987). Land consolidation works will be completed in 31 December 2019. Land consolidation works were carried out at 8400 parcels up to now. The number of objections per a parcel is 357. In general, this number corresponds to the 4% of the project. The ratio of satisfaction regarding to land consolidation works is 96%. The objections will be reviewed again and satisfaction will be reached through compromise. Land consolidation works will continue in line with the Land Consolidation Action Plan prepared by DSİ. 30 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 5. Environmental and Social Impacts Air Quality: Dust formation is expected during the construction and site preparation stages of the project due to the stripping of top soil layer and other excavation works. In addition, during the production of sand-cobblestone and limestone materials, dust formation will occur when extracting, loading and transporting the materials. The provisions of Regulation on Control of Air Pollution from Industrial Sources and Regulation on the Evaluation and Management of Air Quality will be complied with when operating the borrow pits. These impacts are envisaged to be temporary and reversible. Furthermore, exhaust emissions are expected to originate from construction machines and equipment. Necessary measures will be taken against dust and exhaust gas emissions. In this scope, construction machines and equipment will be periodically maintained and controlled. Thus, these impacts are expected to be at a low level. However, in case the emission levels are negatively affecting the nearby communities or other sensitive receptors, further corrective measures will be taken. Noise: The noise to be generated by construction equipment and vehicles is expected to negatively affect the sensitive receptors in the close vicinity of the project. In order to minimize the impact, construction activities will be carried out during daytime hours (07:00 – 19:00). In addition, noise levels will be monitored at the sensitive receptors regularly and necessary mitigation measures will be taken if required. Water and Wastewater: Water need will arise mostly from daily domestic water needs of employees in the campsite, construction site and material pits. In addition, water will be used for concrete mixing and curing operations, washing the machines, and watering the materials and roads against dust formation. DSI and the contractor are responsible for supplying water without stressing the groundwater and surface water sources for domestic use and concrete preparation works. The quality of the water (for domestic use and concrete preparation works) will be monitored regularly. Wastewaters will generally be originated from the borrow pits and campsites in domestic wastewater form. These wastewaters shall be either stored in impermeable septic tanks in compliance with local regulations and the Bank requirements, will be regularly stored by licensed companies and will finally be discharged to receiving bodies after being treated. The water to be used for spraying process to prevent dust formation in the project site cannot be recycled as wastewater. During the operation stage, domestic wastewaters will be disposed in compliance with the Regulation on the Control of Water Pollution and Regulation on Protection of Domestic Water Basins. 31 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Community Health and safety: During preparation of site and construction activities, DSI will ensure that contractors take precautionary measures such as providing timely information to local community on construction schedule and location, using proper signs to demonstrate construction site, watering in dry seasons etc. to create a safe and healthy environment. Furthermore, construction activities will result in increase in the local traffic sue to the vehicles going in and coming out from the construction site. The construction sites could potentially cause risk of accidents for local people, compromising community health and safety, if not fenced appropriately and marked with appropriate warning signs. Occupational Health and Safety: Construction works may cause accidents that may threaten the health and safety of the employees, if the necessary precautions are not taken. In this context, DSI and contractor are responsible for providing secure and healthy working environment for the employees. Employees will have information about job definitions, responsibilities and the risks that may threathen their health and safety regarding their work. Necessary personal protective equipment and information on occupational safety through regular trainings will be provided to employees. The campsites will also be equipped with the necessary facilities in order to meet all the needs of the employees. Hazardous Materials: For the time being, fuel filling and vehicle maintenance activities are not planned to be carried out on the construction site within the scope of the project. However, such need may arise if heavy vehicles are used on the construction site. DSI and contractors will be informed about the storage and sue of hazardous materials to be used in this scope and will take necessary measures. Furthermore, chemicals spills and other potential hazardous substance accidents will be added to the possible scenarios under emergency management plans, and the required equipment will always be kept ready and relevant drills will be carried out regularly. Waste Management: The modernization of open channel irrigation system includes removal of the existing materials and pipes from the construction sites, eventually making them idle. The pipes and other materials that become idle need to be appropriately stored and finally disposed of in accordance with local regulations and the Bank requirements. As the topsoil will be stored and reused for rehabilitation works after construction, no excavation waste is expected to be generated. However, in case the excavated material will be excessive, coordination with relevant authorities for appropriate disposal of excavation material shall be established. 32 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project In addition to excavation wastes, domestic and hazardous wastes are also expected to be generated during construction. These wastes will be stored separately at the construction and campsites, as required by local regulations, and will be transferred to / disposed of by licensed facilities. DSI and its contractor will be responsible for coordinating with these licensed companies and ensuring that wastes are disposed/recycled in compliance with relevant local regulations and the Bank requirements. Natural Habitats: No adverse impacts arising from the project are expected on the natural habitats closest to the project site. As the works will not be carried out on the same point for a long time, instant negative negativities may occur. Infrastructure: Modernization works will require the use of existing access roads. The project design will also benefit from the ongoing land consolidation activities since it will allow for new common roads to be established to access each parcel that will also undergo the modernization activity. Damages to road surfaces during transport of heavy machinery will be rehabilitated by the construction contractor. Should any damages on infrastructure occur on private land due to construction, mitigation measures specified in the LAPF will be put into practice by the construction contractor. Any campsite that will be established during construction will secure its own infrastructure without placing an additional demand on community infrastructure during construction. Thus, impacts on local infrastructure are considered to be negligible. Land Consolidation: Area of the proposed scheme is undergoing a consolidation process under the national program initiated by the GDAD under MoAF. The ongoing land consolidation is not expected to have adverse impacts on the project. On the contrary, construction activities will be synchronized with the ongoing consolidation works in order to achieve timely and cost effective modernization of the scheme. DSI, through comprehensive consultations, will make effort to resolve grievances pertaining to previous consolidation activities under the scope of the modernization activities. OP 4.12 will not be applicable for the consolidation activities of this scheme, though still, DSI will remain aware of the post consolidation situations and continue to engage with PAPs after land consolidation to try to resolve any grievances through its GRM. The use of consolidation practices will avoid or set to a minimum, the need to expropriate land. During consolidation, there may be delays in removing existing structures such as old parcel borders, open irrigation channels, bridges which may impede the use of new consolidated parcels for agricultural purposes. DSI will ensure that consolidation and construction practices are implemented in a timely manner 33 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project allowing for proper and timely use agricultural lands. Land consolidation and on-farm improvement services are also expected to lead to decreased number of parcels, decent shapes of parcels, sufficient drainage system, quality roads that provide access to each land. Land acquisition: No physical resettlement activity is envisaged for the implementation of the project. It is aimed to avoid land acquisition through land consolidation. If there is a temporary or permanent need for land acquisition for some project components, depending on the construction works, there may be a small loss of livelihoods in these cases. Within the context of the project principles, private lands and agricultural lands will be ignored and the state lands will be used as much as possible. In cases where the expropriation of private property cannot be avoided, transactions will be carried out within the framework of the Land Acquisition Action Plan prepared by DSI. Assets and land based livelihoods: As there will be no physical displacement under the project; loss of structures and buildings are not expected. However, though kept to a minimum, the project may result in loss of agricultural land. The design of the subprojects considers following the existing irrigation network in addition to utilizing existing roads with minimum need for additional access roads. Depending on the status and current use of the land required for the project, loss of standing crops and trees with economic value is anticipated. To reduce the amount of land required, the land consolidation practices will be utilized. Furthermore, project activities are expected also to influence land-based livelihoods since majority of the land subject to modernization is used for agricultural purposes. Measures to mitigate both loss of assets and livelihoods will be detailed under Land Consolidation Action Plan, which is being prepared for Uzunlu Project. Construction activities will also generate temporary economic impacts due to procurement of local goods and services. The need for construction vehicles and machinery, construction materials, goods and other services such as transport, catering, laundry, food supply, security services will be met by local suppliers to the maximum. Workforce needed during construction will be recruited among impacted local community where possible. However, technical nature of the Project and the low skill set in local communities may result in hiring skilled labor regionally or nationally. Farmers, local community and other stakeholders including vulnerable groups: Considering that the project could improve the efficiency of the existing irrigation system, it is expected to have a positive impact on local communities in general. Agricultural workers (i.e. seasonal and daily workers) and women engaged in agricultural practices who are also 34 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project categorized as vulnerable groups may also be affected from the project since the project may result in limiting the labor demand for irrigation as well as cultivation and harvesting of products. Seasonal workers travel with their families and engage in farming as a family. In the area of the Project, where seasonal agricultural workers are used children do not work as paid labor however can assist their families while working together. This type of child labor is not a form of forced labor. As the national labor law forbids worst forms of child labor. If vulnerable groups are detected during the Project, continuous consultation will be carried out to inform all PAPs including vulnerable groups on project impacts and construction schedule as well as their rights for compensation should they suffer from loss of land or livelihood due to the project activities. Gender Impact: rrigation modernization, with its expected change to higher value crops and modern technologies, thus provides an economic opportunity for women who play an active role in agriculture. There are no legal restrictions on female tenancy arrangements or land ownership. However, customary traditions limit women’s cultivation of shared ancestral land. Land consolidation practices, on the other hand, may positively affect this situation as an opportunity is created for women to own consolidated parcels, which likely may lead to their increased participation in agricultural production. Female water users in the WUAs could be both tenants and land owners. Women’s role in WUA management and decision-making is thus extremely limited and is perceived to be a domain for men. Cultural factors and social norms also hinder women’s participation in meetings and training events related to irrigated agriculture. In order to decrease women’s hesitance to take part in WUA management and decision making periodic stakeholder consultations will be arranged by WUAs and DSI field staff as part of irrigation modernization or regular WUA operations. With the collaboration and support of the Bank, DSI’s field staff will design and deliver sensitization training on gender aspects of irrigation in the subject project. This training will support DSI field offices and the WUAs under their supervision to implement measures to narrow the above gender- gaps in line with the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), such as ensuring that WUA consultation meetings specifically for women will be held (before, during the land consolidation and after irrigation modernization). The training will also lay the foundation for WUAs to develop their own measures to encourage women involvement in WUA governance and measures to allow female farmers to benefit from services, like agricultural advice/training, delivered through the WUA, in collaboration with DSI (on-farm water management), and MoAF. DSI will monitor gender-disaggregated data in terms of the female water users benefiting from the Project, and gender-disaggregated feedback from the monitoring reports and surveys carried out in the subprojects. Where feasible, DSI’s MIS 35 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project (SUTEM) will ensure that some gender-disaggregated data will be collected. Labor Conditions, influx and child labor: A campsite will be established for the project area. The campsite will be minimum in size, requiring around 50 workers at site. The campsite to the extent possible, will be positioned far from the local communities to avoid unnecessary interaction with local public. Each campsite will include infrastructure such as water, electricity, sewage and communication network. The campsite will be accessible by road network and will use existing roads to the extent possible. In cases where accommodation is provided on-site, DSI will ensure that contractors have a code of conduct as well as providing training on communication with local communities for workers prior to employment. On-site facilities (i.e. sanitary facilities and canteen) will ensure compliance with Bank standards. The Project will fully comply with requirements of the Turkish Labor law, which is in compliance with principles of international labor standards, most of which is ensured through compliance with ILO Conventions Turkey is party to. Therefore; child labor, forced labor and discrimination (of race and gender) will not be tolerated. Cultural Assets: There are Natural and Archeological Sites in and around the Project area. In these areas, works will be carried out within the framework of relevant laws and regulations. Information regarding the mentioned areas were given in the “Vulnerable areas” section. Within the scope of the project, no work will be carried out in the designated areas. For this purpose, these areas will be surrounded by strips, warning signs will be placed and employees will be prevented from accessing these parts. Registered areas and areas mentioned in Section 4.6 will be considered as irrigable areas. In the case of taking such measures, no significant impact on cultural and natural assets is foreseen. In the case of incidental findings during the construction phase, a coincidental findings procedure will be established in accordance with Turkish legislation, and in case of this situation, the relevant authorities will be contacted and the legislation will be implemented. 36 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project 6. Measures and Monitoring Plan The potential environmental and social impacts that may arise during the project construction stage, measures to be taken to manage these impacts and the monitoring plan are presented in Table 11 and Table 12, respectively. The Tables 11-12 contain all details including the type of potential impact, at what stage of the project they may arise, and what measures must be taken to control the impact. Grievance Redress Mechanism DSI has a four level grievance system in place in addition to the national GRM system (Presidency Communication Centers) that is also used to submit grievances. DSI, through its additional efforts will make arrangements to collect scheme specific grievances to be addressed and resolved during project implementation. Concerns, requests and complaints of project-affected stakeholders on both environmental and social impacts of the project will be dealt with through GRM. Information on pre-construction works (land consolidation, land acquisition etc.), construction schedule and availability of project GRM will be disclosed to affected communities through consultations and other engagement activities, DSI official website as well as through regional directorates, relevant provincial branches and through WUAs. Due to the nature of the sub-projects, project affected communities may have concerns regarding the planning, design and implementation of TIMP. DSI will engage Public Relations Expert(s) for disseminating information regarding the grievance mechanism. Grievances to be communicated under the Project will be addressed at four levels:  WUA level (settlements);  Provincial directorate level  Regional directorate level  National Level (through General Directorate and national GRM system) Although there is no obligation, a Public Grievance Form has been prepared for convenience, and is presented in Annex-5. All the complaints and concerns received through the grievance system will be archived and the related issues will be attempted to be solved or mitigated within a predefined timeframe. The statistics of grievances will be regularly reported to the 37 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project WB. 38 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Table 12- Measurements and Monitoring Plan during the Project Impact/Issue Impact Preventive/Mitigation Measure Cost Institutional Comments Responsibility (TL) Pre-Construction: .Siting and operation of work camps should be undertaken in consultation with local authorities Workforce and and communities.

Regional Directorate of DSI for his opening and greeting speeches. Deputy Regional Director, Şükrü EROL: Dear Governor, Mayor, Village Headmen and guests welcome to the “Public Participation” Meeting on Uzunlu Irrigation. 62 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project As you know, Uzunlu Irrigation was opened to operation in 1996 and it is 8000 Hectares. For many years, due to both the dam's leakage and the problems in the canalized Irrigation System, Uzunlu Irrigation could not be an ideal irrigation.Water leakage problem in the dam was eliminated in 2015 by the reservoir coating production completed by our Regional Directorate.Now, with the support of ”World Bank the Irrigation System will be renewed and modern pressure and pipe system irrigation will be started. Irrigation Renovation Construction Work is planned to be completed in 3 to 4 years by the tender in 2019. I express my belief that we will complete the process in the best way as the state and citizen together, and I hope that our meeting will be instrumental in charity. Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: I thank Şükrü Erol Our Deputy Regional Manager for his speeches Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: I present the microphone to Mr. Hamdi ERDAL, our Mayor of Boğazlıyan, in order to make his greetings. Mayor of Boğazlıyan, Hamdi ERDAL: Distinguished Governor, Distinguished guests, Deputy Regional Director, headmen, very valuable farmer brothers. I wish our meeting would be instrumental in charity. I greet you all with respect. I say welcome. Dear brothers and sisters, you know water users associations across Turkey was a huge problem. Only in this three years it was discussed at a high level and brought in agenda with high level dialogues, some had correspondence with the mayor and nearly four hundred of them were dissolved and new assignments were made. I hope these assignments will be auspicious and bring good luck. When we look at this, Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu Irrigation Renewal Project is a great project. This project is actually a project, which will be applied in three or four places in Turkey. In the implementation of this, namely Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzunlu, if the World Bank had not obtained thirty-odd million dollars of credit, unfortunately, our project would not be taken into consideration within that scope. Our project is not thirty-three million dollars, the deputy regional director will also give you information in the following explanations. 138 million dollars were mentioned at the meeting of the Provincial Planning Council today, a phone call came to a figure of $ 170 million, my brothers. Do you know who these coins are spent (!) You know better than me it’s already being transferred to us. It is being transferred 63 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project to our farmers and Turkey's economy. Electric cost is decreasing, we hit those deep wells, you see the state of our land. Our farmer is planting beets, shooting his deep well, well collapses after a month, the income he would get from beets is again hitting another deep well. Thirty billion, forty billion, thirty billion, forty billion if you put the well money in the hand zero to zero. I know, we always see our farmer brothers. So far, we have no siblings who provide income from beets to farmers. Debt debt debt. The only reason for this is that you pay monthly money for electric. Some say fifteen billion, some twenty billion, some thirty billion. These are terrible, big bucks, brothers. I hope this project will be implemented thanks to our Government and State. The faces of our farmers, us, our grandchildren, the next generation will laugh. I wish this meeting to be a means for good again. I would like to thank my brothers and sisters who contributed to this meeting and I would like to say good luck to our farmers. Yours sincerely. Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: Thanks to Boğazlıyan Major Mr. Hamdi ERDAL for his speech. Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: I now present the microphone to Mr. Davut SİNANOĞLU, our District Governor, to make the greetings. Boğazlıyan Kaymakamı, Davut SİNANOĞLU: Dear Mayor, Dear Regional Director, dear guests, dear farmers, dear colleagues, I greet you all with respect. I wish the meeting auspicious. I hope that the next harvest season, water intake season and agricultural season will be abundant. I hope this year we started 2019 profitable, I hope we will finish profitably. This year it was the most beautiful snow of fifteen years. I hope our dams are filled with spring rains. We do not have any problems during the irrigation season. Last year there was no big problem. As far as I know the dead reserve were presented to the citizen. This shows that our agriculture is very dependent on natural conditions and climatic conditions. DSI Regional Directorate and DSI General Directorate have accomplished very successful works in the last fifteen years. Where there is a creek, where there is a river there is a bench, pond or dam in front of it. In this sense, Yozgat has received its share from these services. We see both in the field and we are witnesses in the meetings held. There are big and small projects. There are ponds, lakes, dams constructed by DSI. 64 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project As you know in our region, the construction of Oğulcuk Dam continues. A few ponds in our region have also passed DSI control. The services are significantly higher than in previous years. Of course, we are low on water. Farmers, everyone witnesses this. We provide water from deep wells. Every year the level of the wells falls down. We cannot use the water efficiently for various reasons. With this project, I hope the Uzunlu Region, our central neighborhoods and some of our villages will receive a good service in terms of using water more efficiently. With the implementation of the Oğulcuk Dam, most of the agricultural land in the region will be irrigated. I wish this meeting to be beneficial. We have just read the newspaper news grant was accepted. That means that. Hopefully to be tender. World Bank loan approved. This is an important day for Boğazlıyan. The services of this agricultural infrastructure and the demands of the farmers for this purpose should be on the top of the agenda of all of us. In my opinion, this should be on the agenda of the people of Bogazliyan, the tradesmen, the politicians, the brokrat and the farmers. In the coming process, we will forward our requests and requests to the higher authorities and we will try to do our best to strengthen the agricultural infrastructure. Here, of course, we have some businesses; we have large factories, it is important to work. Here we have a sugar factory; most of our farmers here are beet farming. There is a need for beet to work here, and beet wants a lot of water. Water is necessary. Let's put our offspring to work. Let's try to put them to work in public institutions Let's try to put them to work in sugar factory, but beyond that, our demand from our factories, those who manage us together should be aimed at strengthening the agricultural infrastructure. When it happens, we all win. We create jobs and employment. As a result of the delivery of the Uzunlu Dam water to the farmers with the closed irrigation system, the water will be saved, the yield will increase and the value added will increase. Which means we all win. I would like to thank you all for supporting this process so far. After that, especially at the point of Land Consolidation here and in other regions our request is to be more sensitive to this consolidation and this process as much as possible to finish in a healthy and short term. I would like to thank you for attending the meeting and for your support so far.

May this project be auspicious for our local farmers. Again, I hope that the next season will be abundant and fertile. I pay my respects to all of you. Thank you so much. Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: I would like to thank Mr. Davut SİNANOĞLU, the Governor of Boğazlıyan for his speeches. Announcer, Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: Mr. Governor, I would like to proceed with my presentation for the Public Participation Meeting within the framework of the Environmental and Social Management Plan of the Yozgat Boğazlıyan Uzun Irrigation Renewal Project. PRESENTATION Ahmet ÖZDEMİR (Environmental Engineer): 66 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Announcer Ahmet ÖZDEMİR: Dear Governor, Distinguished Participants; now we are going to our Q & A session under the chairmanship of our Deputy Regional Director Şükrü EROL. Q & A SESSION Chairman Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): Individual, parcel parcel we will try to answer general questions related to the general rather than to its own problem. Our friends will bring the microphone if they can raise hands. Q; Mehmet Tanrıkulu (Çalapverdi Farmer): First of all, I wish the meeting would be beneficial. I would like to thank all participating farmers. There was a consolidation work in Çalapverdi and Boğazlıyan. We have 1 decare and half decare and 2 decare of land. What will you say about it. 67 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): We have 8400 parcels. The number of objections is 357. When it is looked at, it corresponds to 4% of the project. We have a 96% satisfaction rate. This project is one of our most successful projects. Since it is an irrigation project, our area of action is a bit narrower compared to other projects. 1 hectare 2 hectares of areas we left on the edge because we could not change irrigation channels. If there was a dry project (non-irrigated area), we would consider areas of 1 decare and 2 decares. We cannot change our lines according to the shape of the parcel. We cannot change the roads and channels in the project. If you have problems about your parcel as an individual, please let us know by petition. We make the necessary feedback. Q; Unnamed Farmer: First of all thank you very much for coming. My land is 70 decares of land. Despite the neighboring parcel, you split my land because the road crossed. I'm talking about the Gardens Quarter. What do you say about it? A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): If the Pipeline passes through that area, your land is divided along the road. We need to look at the divided areas. Even now, you can get us your pillar. We will give you the answer you need. Q; Faruk DOĞAN (Çalapverdi Village Farmer): My field was moved from one location to another. 15 decares of land falls to 11 decares 8% was cut. That's why so many interruptions. A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): By law, there is a DOP outage that we call a Direct Partnership Share. We are making these cuts to bring each parcel into water and road. We will build a stabilized pavement. Approximately 686 km of road covers an area, and we have to cut this area from you by law. This deduction rate is maximum 10%. Q; Sami KAYADEMİR (Bahariye Village Headman): I will speak on behalf of my village. Our village is at the end of WUA. Currently, water does not come to our village. Will this project bring water to our village? A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): Su yetersizliği ülkemizde genel anlamda yaşadığımız kuraklıktan kaynaklanıyor. Bu yıl sulak bir mevsim yaşıyoruz. Barajın dolması halinde su sıkıntısı yaşanmayacaktır. Q; Ahmet Kuşak Çırakçıoğlu (Boğazlıyan, Farmer ): How will you evaluate the wells in the fields? 68 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): We kept the licensed wells in their parcels. If there is an eclipse, we will correct it if you apply. Q; Habip BAHRAN (Bahariye Village, Farmer): Do you receive the records from the Land Registry Office up to date. I took the fields from my father for myself. 108 to 3 parcels still appear in my father's name. A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): The problem will be solved when we take the deed records after the consolidation process is finished. Q; Soner ÇİFTÇİ (Boğazlıyan, Farmer): How the irrigation costs will be paid, how the ranking will be, how many hours (water) will be given. A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): This is a topic in operation after construction is finished. General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works is an institution experienced in irrigation enterprises. We ask you trust our experience in this matter. As a result, our WUA will be at work. I hope if the dam is full, if we enter a rainy period no one will be lack of water. If there is a shortage of water, you will be announced at the beginning of the season. Irrigation is done according to the existing water. Q; İsmail BARUK (Çalapverdi, Farmer): In the old project, is there a chance to pay back to the parcel owners of the expropriated canal and canal places? A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): In the project, we left the parcels that DSI expropriated back to the places we left as drainage. In order not to make an expropriation again. The remaining parcel areas as a separate parcel has created DSI parcels. We will present these to you after the project is completed. Q; İsmail BARUK (Çalapverdi, Farmer): Is it not more appropriate if it is allocated to expropriated persons? A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager ): No. The Supreme Court has a ruling on this. We can't give it back to the expropriated person. With this law, it is not possible. Q; İsmail BARUK (Çalapverdi, Farmer): How will this auction or auction sale be? A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): When the project is registered, I hope it will be registered by the end of this year. If you submit your petition for that parcel, we will investigate. Our transactions are carried out by our Real Estate Expropriation Branch Directorate. 69 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Q; Mehmet Nuri KARABULUT (Çalapverdi, Farmer) : Is the capacity of the line you will install with our existing channels the same? Thank you. A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): The flow rates are different but our pipelines have been designed to carry the water of 8000 hectares. Now our project is ready, we are waiting. Q; Nurullah KARACA (Çalapverdi, Farmer): The closed system is good, the consolidation is good, but are we going to wait for this dam to fill by rain? Can’t you support by transferring water from Kızılırmak, Yamula? Isn't there a project like that? A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): Previously, our citizens had applications in this sense. When it is attracted to higher elevations, the cost is low and it is possible to operate it. But it's not economical when it's pumping. Unfortunately, we do not have such an opportunity at Uzunlu. We will not have any problems if the water coming from its own spring suffices. Q; Ali Köke (Çalapverdi, Farmer): I have a house at the bottom of the Irrigation Line. Who will be responsible for any explosions? A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): Removal has done from fixed facilities. The necessary distances have been adjusted to avoid damage. Q; Ali Köke (Çalapverdi, Farmer): What if damage occurs in the future? This is covered by DSI. A; Özkan BARAN (Land Consolidation Branch Manager): We're here when a damage occurs. Any damages related to this are paid in excess as DSI. However, the calculations are very fine. There's a very low chance of harm. Q; When will the closed system start? A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): We will hold our tender in 2019. If the tender can be made early, construction can be started, but we will start construction at the latest in 2020. If it is granted, construction will be completed in 3-4 years. Q; Mahmut YOZGAT (Çalapverdi, Farmer): Irrigation cost is increased, is that right? There is no electricity, nothing. A; Halil CEZAYİR (Boğazlıyan WUA President): Our WUA has expenses. Since 2011, 35 TL. Newly it’s 50 TL. One of the major reasons for the WUA to move to the State Hydraulic Works is the lack of sustainability of the WUAs. 70 General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Irrigation Modernization Project Q; Süleyman DOĞAN (Bahariye Village): We're paying, but there's no water. A; Ayhan KORKMAZ (Boğazlıyan WUA Manager): We are planning an irrigation before the irrigation season. Because our water is not enough. According to the planning, we provide water. First, we get a declaration. After receiving the statement, we give water. We do not receive any statement from Bahariye Village. The statement is not correct. A; Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director ): According to the amount of water in the dam we are planning at the beginning of the season and informing our farmers. In line with this information, we receive declarations from the places where we can provide water. We also give our water to the places we have declared. Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): I'm closing with your permission, Mr. Governor. Şükrü EROL (Deputy Regional Director): Dear Governor, Dear Mayor, Distinguished participants; I would also like to thank to the Director of Bogazliyan Vocational School, Mr. Mustafa KOCAKAYA, the secretary of the High School, Mr. Emin SEYHAN, the President and Team of the Bogazliyan WUA, our Boğazlıyan and Uzunlu Municipalities and our District Governor for their kindness.
