c. Treatment Technology

The most prominent technique for removing organic carbon and nutrient in a

relatively short period. The fill and draw scheme constitute the basic principle of the

system. Raw sewage will be collected under gravity into the equalization tank after

allowing to pass through the bar screen. The bar screen, by removing coarse solids

from the sewage help in protecting the raw sewage pump. The raw sewage

equalization tank, through temporarily holding the incoming sewage facilitates both

pumping of sewage through the STP and dampening the flow variation in the

received sewage. The sewage collected in equalization tank is pumped and passed

through the tank. Air will be introduced in this tank to prevent any potential foul

smell problem & to provide the mixing of wastewater to avoid the sedimentation of

solids in this tank.

The is basically a single tank that serves both biological reactor and settler in a

temporal sequence, whereas aeration and settling are simultaneous but in a spatial



EIA/EMP REPORT


sequence.

From the reactors, the suspended solids will settle at the bottom of the tank & clear

supernatant will overflow to Collection cum storage tank collected sludge at bottom

shall be transferred through pumps to sludge holding tank. The clear supernatant

after clarifier will be collected in to filter feed tank. This tank will act as housing

tank for filter feed pumps. The clarified & dis-infected water will be then fed to

filtration unit. Filtration unit consisting of Dual Media sand filter and activated

carbon filter will remove the residual impurities such as odor/color, suspended

solids, BOD/COD. The treated water after the filtration unit will be collected in

Irrigation cum Flushing water storage tank from where it is transferred to flushing

water tank at terrace & Irrigation System.

Excess sludge from the bottom of the settling tank will be removed and transferred

to sludge holding tank. Air grid shall be provided in this tank to avoid conversion

into anaerobic conditions, thickening of sludge and keep sludge in homogenous

condition. The digested & thickened sludge shall be further thickened through

Sludge Dewatering System and disposed of periodically through closed tanker or can

be reused as manure.

Stages of Treatment: The treatment process consists of the following stages:

Equalization

Bio- Degradation

Clarification & Settling

Filtration



EIA/EMP REPORT

Sewer System

The alignment and slope of the sewer line will follow the road network, drains or

natural ground surface and will be connected to the trunk sewers. The discharge point

will be a treatment plant, a pumping station, a water course or an intercepting sewer.

Pumping stations would be provided at places where the natural slope of the terrain

is insufficient to permit gravity flow or the cost of excavation is uneconomical to do

the same.

Rainwater Harvesting System

The storm water collection system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any

collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off

depends upon many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation,

characteristics of the tributary area and the time required for such flow to reach the

drains. The drains shall be located near the carriage way along either side of the

roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall run off from roads shall flow

towards the drains. Storm water from building will be connected to adjacent drain by a



EIA/EMP REPORT


pipe through catch basins. Therefore 2 rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations

has been provided which will catch the entire run-off from the site.

1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of

storm water pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be

brought down through rain water pipes.

2) Storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and tanks at regular

intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging.

3) For basement parking, the rainwater from ramps will be collected in the

basement storm water storage tank. This water will be pumped out to the nearest

external storm water drain.

4) The peak hourly rainfall is 40 mm/hr. shall be considered for designing the

storm water drainage system.

Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the guideline of

CGWA. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 40 mm/hr. The recharge pit is

constructed for recharging the water. The recharge pits of 3 m dia and 3.5 m depth is

constructed for recharging the water. Inside the recharge pit, recharge bore will be

constructed of sufficient diameter and depth. The bottom of the recharge structure is

kept 5 m above the ground level. At the bottom of the recharge pits, a filter media is

provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain water

harvesting plan are as follows:

Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning.

The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be

damaged allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been avoided

since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.

All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device

would be installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves,

plastic bags and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to

prevent contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 15 minutes of rainfall

is flushed off.

No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system. No wastewater

CHAPTER -3

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the existing environmental settings in the study area. In order

to identify any potential impact on and to the natural and socioeconomic environment,

it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the nature of the existing

environment prior to commencement of the activities. This acts as a need to

characterize the existing baseline environmental and socio-economic conditions

through primary monitoring, undertaking focused surveys and the collection of

secondary information from various published sources. The major purposes of

describing the environmental settings of the study area are:

To assess the existing environmental quality, as well as the environmental impacts of

the future developments being studied;

To identify environmentally significant factors or geographical areas that could

preclude any future development.

Additional purposes of the baseline studies are to provide sufficient information so

that decision makers alien with the general location can develop an understanding

of the project.

The project needs Environmental characteristics of the study area. The following section

describes the environmental setting of the site, period, components and methodology for

the baseline studies in detail.

METHODOLOGY OF CONDUCTING BASELINE STUDY

The guiding factors of the present environmental baseline study are the requirements

laid down by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and guidelines as per the

Environmental Impact Assessment Notification.

Baseline environmental data generation for air, noise and soil quality monitoring at

and around the project site of May 2019 has been prepared for the project.

The baseline environmental monitoring has been carried out during pre-monsoon

season of May 2019 for a period of one month and the data have been used for EIA

study.



EIA/EMP REPORT


The environmental baseline monitoring has been carried out through

MoEF&CC/NABL accredited laboratory GRC Analytical Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. For the

purpose of the EIA study, the general impact zone for the proposed implementation

shall confine within a radius of 10 km and specific impact within the project area from

the center of the project site.

The studies were conducted by considering the following:

The various environmental attributes were divided into primary and secondary

studies. Primary attributes such as micro-meteorology, air environment, water, soil,

noise, traffic, flora and fauna and socio-economic aspects were assessed and on-site

monitoring and review of the past studies conducted; and

Secondary attributes such as land use studies, geology, physiological characteristics

have been assessed by literature review of studies conducted in the past and by

various government publications.

The baseline studies started with reconnaissance survey and site visits in the study

area for fixing the monitoring locations for collecting the primary data. Various

Government, Semi- Government departments were approached for getting

information for the secondary data generation.

CRITERIA FOR BASELINE ENVIRONMENT STUDY

For the purposed of EIA study, the study area has been classified into general study

area and core study area. The general study areas extend upto 10 km radius from the

site and have been studied for any likely general impacts. The core area for the

proposed implementation shall confined within a radius of 500 m from the boundary of

the project site, since the nature of the project is such that most of the potential

impacts are likely to occur within this area.

Environmental baseline monitoring has been conducted during pre-monsoon season of

May 2019 for a total period of one month (May 2019). The location of the baseline

monitoring has been selected with respect to proposed land-use and environmental

susceptibility of the critical areas.

Air Environment

The prime objective of the baseline study with respect to ambient air quality is to establish

the present air quality and its conformity to National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

This data has been further used during impact assessment to predict the final air quality.

This section describes the sampling locations, frequency of sampling and methodology

adopted for monitoring ambient air quality.

To quantify the impact of the project on the ambient air quality, it is necessary at first to

evaluate the existing ambient air quality of the area. The existing ambient air quality, in

terms of Particulate Matter – 10 (PM10), Particulate Matter- 2.5 (PM2.5), Sulphur-dioxide

(SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO), has been measured through a

planned field monitoring.

To assess the ambient air quality level, 5 (five) monitoring stations were set up. Table-3.2

gives location of the ambient air quality monitoring stations and attached as Annexure-VII (A).

Monitoring Schedule

Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out twice a week with a frequency of 24

hours for 4 weeks.

Methods of Sampling and Analysis

Fine particulate Sampler APM MFC550 was used for monitoring Particulate Matter

(PM2.5 and PM10); gaseous pollutants like SO2, and NO2 was collected by Gaseous

Pollutant Sampler APM 433 and CO was monitored by Serinous 30 CO Analyser with

NDIR detector.

Method for measurement of Particulate matter, SO2 & NO2

Method for measurement of Particulate Matter (PM10) in ambient air is done by

Cyclonic Flow Technique. Particles with aerodynamic diameter less than the cut-point

of the inlet are collected by a filter. Ambient air at the monitoring location is sucked

through a cyclone. Coarse and non-reparable dust is separated from the air stream by

centrifugal forces acting on the solid particles and these particles fall through the

cyclone's conical hopper and get collected in the sampling cap placed at the bottom. The

fine dust (<10 microns) forming the particulate matter (PM10) passes the cyclone and is

retained on the filter paper The mass of these particles is determined by the difference

in filter weights prior to and after sampling. The concentration of PM10 in the

designated size range is calculated by dividing the weight gain of the filter by the

volume of air sampled. A tapping is provided on the suction side of the blower to



EIA/EMP REPORT


provide suction for sampling air through a set of impingers for containing absorbing

solutions for SO2 and NO2. Samples of gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.2 liters per

minute. The APM MFC 550 is used for PM2.5. This system is a manual method for

sampling fine particles (PM2.5 fraction) and is based on Impactor designs standardized

by USEPA for ambient air quality monitoring. PM2.5 & PM10 have been estimated by

gravimetric method (IS- 5182 part XXIII 2006). Improved West and Gake method (IS-

5182 part-II, 2001 & reaffirmed 2006) has been adopted for estimation of SO2 and

Modified Jacobs-Hochheiser method (IS-5182 part-X, 2006) has been adopted for the

estimation of NO2.

Method for measurement of Carbon Monoxide – NDIR method

Instrument used: Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide

This analyser is used to measure CO in ambient air, in the range of 0-200 ppm

(220mg/m3) to a sensitivity of 0.05 ppm 55µg/m3). The Serinus 30 combines the benefits

of Microprocess control with Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectro-photometery technology

(IS-182 part X 1999, reaffirmed 2003). CO Concentration is automatically corrected for

gas temperature and pressure changes.

Results and Discussion

The results of AAQ are given in details and summarized in the tabular form. The

results when compared with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for "Industrial, Residential, Rural and Other

Areas" show that the average values of ambient air quality parameters are well within

the stipulated limit.

The results of ambient air quality monitoring are summarized in the Tables below:

Noise Level

Noise is one of the most undesirable and unwanted by-products of our

modern life style. It may not seem as insidious or harmful as air and water

pollutants but it affects human health and well-being and can contribute to

deterioration of human well-being in general and can cause neurological

disturbances and physiological damage to the hearing mechanism in

particular. It is therefore, necessary to measure both the quality as well as

the quantity of noise in and around the site.

Methodology

The intensity of sound energy in the environment is measured in a

logarithmic scale and is expressed in a decibel, dB (A) scale. In a

sophisticated type of sound level meter, an additional circuit (filters) is

provided, which modifies the received signal in such a way that it

replicates the sound signal as received by the human ear and the

magnitude of sound level in this scale is denoted as dB (A). The sound

levels are expressed in dB (A) scale for the purpose of comparison of

noise levels, which is universally accepted by the international

community.

Noise levels were measured using an Integrating sound level meter

manufactured by Pulsar Instruments Plc, Model NO. 91 (SL.No.B21625).



EIA/EMP REPORT


It has an indicating mode of Lp and Leq. Keeping the mode in Lp for few

minutes and setting the corresponding range and the weighting network

in “A” weighting set the sound level meter was run for one hour time and

Leq was measured at all locations.

The day noise levels have been monitored during 6.00 am to 10.00 pm and night

noise levels, during

10.00 pm to 6.00 am at all the 5 locations, which covers residential

areas, commercial, industrial areas, Silence area if available within

10 km radius of the study area.

Sampling Locations

A preliminary survey was undertaken to identify the major noise

generating sources in the area. The noise survey was conducted to assess

the background noise levels in different zones. Gazettes Notification

(S.O. 123(E)) of MoEFCC dated February 14, 2000 on ambient air

quality standards has different noise levels for different zones viz.

project site, industrial, and residential zones. Four sampling locations

were selected for the sampling of noise levels.

WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water Quality

Water quality assessment is one of the essential components of EIA/EMP

study. Such assessment helps in evaluating the existing health of water

body and suggesting appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the

potential impact from development projects. Water quality of ground water

has been studied in order to assess water-uses in construction, drinking,

cooling and horticulture purpose.

The water quality at the site and other locations within the 10 km impact

zone was monitored during May, 2019.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Sampling Frequency and Sampling Techniques

Parameters for analysis of water quality were selected based on the utility

of the particular source of water as per MoEFCC guidelines. Hence quality

of ground water was compared with IS: 10500: 1991 (Reaffirmed 1993 With

Amendment NO -3 July 2010) for drinking purposes. Ground water quality

was analyzed for parameters as mentioned in the „Methods of Monitoring &

Analysis‟ published by CPCB (Annexure –IV of CPCB guidelines) and it was

rated according to the CPCB Water Quality Criteria against A, B, C, D & E

class of water based on parameters identified in the criteria. Water samples

were collected as Grab water sample from sampling location in a 5 liter

plastic jerry can and 250 ml sterilized clean glass/pet bottle for complete

physico-chemical and bacteriological tests respectively. The samples were

analyzed as per standard procedure / method given in IS: 3025 (Revised

Part) and standard method for examination of water and wastewater Ed.

21st, published jointly APHA, AWWA and WPCF.

The ground water quality is compared with CPCB water quality criteria

EIA/EMP REPORT


The water quality in study area was assessed through physico-chemical and

bacteriological analysis of ground water samples. The results have been

compared with drinking water quality standards specified in IS: 10500. It

was observed that all the physic-chemical parameters and heavy metals

from surface and ground water samples are below stipulated drinking

water standards.

All the ground water samples analyzed can be considered fit for drinking

purpose in the absence of alternate sources

Comparing the values of pH, DO, BOD and total coliforms with „Use based

classification of ground waters‟ published by Central Pollution Control

Board; it can be seen that the analyzed ground waters can be compared

with class „ A‟.

Rainwater Harvesting:

The main source of ground water recharging in the study area is rainwater,

which infiltrates into the ground through various litho logical units present

in the study area. 2 no. of rainwater harvesting pits are proposed to

recharge the ground water. The runoff from the rooftop and storm water

shall be directed to the recharge pits.

Scheme for Ground Water Recharging

The rainwater will be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the

surface / underground drainage network. The entire building plot shall be sub

divided for recharging structures.

It has been proposed to provide recharge pits for the desired purpose.

Recharge well/pit

Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the

guideline of CGWA. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 40 mm/hr.



EIA/EMP REPORT


The bottom of recharge structure will be kept 5 m above the confined

aquifer level. At the bottom, a filter media will be provided to avoid choking

of recharge bore.

LAND ENVIRONMENT

Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of life and

degradations of land due to industrialization, urbanization and

population growth is a matter of concern. Therefore, it is necessary

to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize the land use as

well as minimize degradation due to the developmental activities.

Also it is necessary to the landform of the project site and the

quality of the soil as soil erosion further deteriorates the quality of

the land. Soil erosion can be prevented by following methods:

Planting vegetation which stabilizes the soil and prevent erosion.

Applying a layer of mulch to the soil top which stabilize the

soil as well as to reduce the storm water runoff.

Using Geo-textiles which help in stabilizing soil.

Topography

The landform of the project site is a plain land. The land environment is

described by landuse/landcover of the study area within 10 km radius

and soil environment of the study area within 5 km radius.

Land Use Description

The land use / land cover of the project site was done to identify the land

use pattern and land cover pattern of the study area. The study of land

use in the area enables one to know about the land that can be used for

various development activities envisaged in post project scenario. It also

enables to envisage the scenario emerging due to the increase in demand

for land with increase in population and the impacts arising due to the



EIA/EMP REPORT


interface with the various project activities.

Objectives of the Study

The objectives of the present study are:

To map the study area with respect to various land use/land cover change

over the past 10 years.

To identify the sensitive areas within 10 km radius around the project site.

Methodology

The land use / land cover pattern has been established based on the

analysis of the data received from satellite imagery by making land

use/land cover map with the help of GIS technique. References have been

taken from Survey of India. Also the data based on Census of India, 2001

was referred and land-use study was done within 10 km radius area with

limited ground truth verifications. Ground and ancillary information have

been used to identify the sensitive places within 10 km radius of the

project.

Soil:

Soil formation is influenced mainly by climate, geology, relief and other

biotic interactions. To assess the soil quality of the area, following stations

were selected. Soil profile and quality was studied at 5 different locations.

The composite soil samples were collected from different location and were

analyzed for characterization. The locations of the monitoring sites are

depicted in Table 3.10 (a) and the results of the monitoring and analysis is

presented in the Table 3.10 (c) and Table 3.10 (d).

2. Direct Count Method- birds, mammals

3. Pugmark method – mammals

The major part of the study area lies under agriculture field and human

settlements which restricted the wildlife habitat significantly. Most of

the mammalian species reported in the study area are common fox, and

Indian hare. There is neither any wildlife sensitive area nor any corridor

for the movement of wildlife present in the study area. There are many

small ponds present in the buffer zone of study area which are the major

attraction sites for avifauna. Common Maina, Kingfisher, Spotted dove,

Pintail and Pond Heron are some dominant bird species present in the

study area. There is no information regarding migratory movement of

birds in the study area. As far as the reptiles community was concerned,

Krait and house lizard are reported from the study area.

Aquatic life

The Phytoplankton in the lakes is basically dominated by filamentous

forms. The dominant ones are Chaetophora sp., Cladophora sp., Spirogyra

sp. The Zooplanktons are basically dominated by Crustaceans and Rotifers.

METHODOLOGY

For composite Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of projects, GRC India

carries out systematic analysis of the various socio-economic

characteristics, both in terms of quality and quantity. Accordingly, both

qualitative and quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The

secondary data was collected from the published data/information of the

Census Authority. Records of the state and district administration were

also referred to.

For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study

area which spans a radius of 10 km from the periphery of the boundary of

the project site. In each selected habitation, a specified number of

representative households were selected for collection of information

through face to face interviews with head of the household or any

responsible member of the family.

Census-cum-Sample Survey

To assess the likely impacts of the project, a Census-cum-Sample Survey

was conducted for the collection of socio-economic data. It is treated as a

census survey because all habitations located in the area were

considered for the collection of information. Further, in each

habitation a household survey was conducted by drawing

representative sample of households. Since, collection of information

from all the households in a habitation is time consuming and

expensive, the sample survey approach was adopted for collection of

information from the selected households in the village(s)/town(s).

Sample Design

Two-Stage Sampling Design was adopted in the study area. The First Stage



EIA/EMP REPORT


Units were Census village(s)/town(s) and the Ultimate Stage Units were

households in the selected village(s)/town(s).

Method of selection of First Stage Units

Probability Proportional to size without replacement and vicinity to the project

site was taken into consideration while selecting the habitations from the list of

Census village(s)/town(s).

Method of selection of Ultimate Stage Units

The ultimate stage sampling unit is households. The households for

survey are selected by simple random sampling technique.

Sample Size

While deciding the sample size the following factors were taken into account:

Confidence Level (95%, Table value: 1.96); Degree of precision (Δ): 0.5;

Variation in population/ Standard Deviation (σ); The sample size at each

level (village and household) was decided by using the formula n = √

{(1.96*σ)/Δ}; where n=Sample Size, 1.96 is the Table Value of Confidence

Limit, σ = Standard Deviation and Δ = Degree of Precision.

Survey Instruments

The following Schedules/Questionnaires were developed for collection of

primary data from the households and villages/towns:

Questionnaire/Schedule for Village/Town Particulars

Questionnaire/Schedule for Household Details and Project Perception

Each of these data instruments has segment blocks and there are both

open-ended and closed- ended questions.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT

Impact on Demographic Composition

The project has made some change in the demographic composition of the

study area as the estimated additional population of 1167 including staff

and visitor will increase after the occupation of the project. Whereas the

work force recruited during the construction and operation phase will be

met locally to the maximum extent. Local laborers from nearby area will be

employed during the construction phase. In the operation phase, most of

the expected occupants will be from the surrounding areas. Hence, the

project will lead to a redistribution of occupants within the city. Thus, no

significant influx of people is envisaged.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Employment Opportunities

Local labor will be hired from nearby areas during construction phase. It is

a positive impact of the project since it will provide employment

opportunities to the local people. Similarly, in the operation phase of the

project, opportunities for employment will arise from the expected business,

trading etc. activities for the local people of the area.

Impetus to Trade & Business in Construction Materials

The project will give much impetus to trade and business on construction

materials in the nearest market to the project area. It is expected that

trading and business will flourish of various construction materials namely

coarse sand, fine sand, stone aggregate, cement, reinforcement steel, pipes,

bricks, conduit pipes, glaze & floor tiles, hardware, stainless steel sink, etc.

Impetus to Infrastructure Development

The project will pave the way for various infrastructure developments that

includes roads, parks, play grounds etc. This is a positive impact which will

create further employment opportunities for the local people.

Impact on Agriculture

There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking

place on the area. The area is likely to be free from annual floods, which

destroy standing crops land and property.

Impact on Traffic Movement

The site has good connectivity to sector road. Only internal roads, paths will be

developed for vehicular movements for transportation of construction material

during construction phase whereas internal tracks and paths will be developed

for traffic circulation during operational phase. Since the site is adjacent to



EIA/EMP REPORT


Rajesh Pilot Road, which has low traffic density, there will be no need for

diversion or closure of existing traffic routes. During the construction phase,

about 15-20 trucks are estimated per week. Adequate parking space within the

project site for loading and unloading of materials will be provided.

Adequate parking space (1100 ECS) will be provided for operational phase

within the project premises.

Impact on Law & Order

As most of the workers to be employed in the project were local residents so

no law and order problem was envisaged. It is expected that the workers

will attend to their duties from their residence and return to their homes

after the day‟s work. However, to meet any untoward incident one police

post may be set up close to the project site.

Impact on Health

There are no chances of any major diseases due to the construction work.

Suitable drainage and waste management measures (with frequent spray of

insecticides etc.) will be adopted in both the construction and operational

phase such that there will be no stagnation of water or accumulation of

waste. This will effectively restrict the reproduction and growth of disease

vectors.

However, to meet any emergency situation few safety measures are outlined

below:

a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure health

and safety of all the employees at work. All efforts will be made to

provide and maintain a safe working environment and ensure that the

machinery and equipment in use is safe for employees. Further, it will

be ensured that working arrangements are not hazardous to employees.



EIA/EMP REPORT


b) Provision of First Aid: In case of any accidents arising out of the

construction works, timely and prompt first aid treatment was the

most important aspect. Suitable first aid arrangements have

been made at the site for rendering immediate first aid in case of any injury. The first-aiders were

well trained in handling patients working in the project.

c) Regular Medical Examination: For all the construction workers, medical

examination will be made on regular basis.

d) Health Education: Adequate health education and information related

to the work will be provided to the workers so that their health and

safety can be ensured.

e) Tie-up with the Nearest Hospital for Medical Assistance: To meet the

medical needs of the construction workers in case of accidents, tie-up

with nearest hospitals will be made. Efforts will be made to reserve a

few beds in the said hospitals for the workers to meet any emergency.

This will ensure timely medical aid to the affected persons.

f) Supply of Mask and Gloves: The workers exposed to dust will be

provided with dust masks to prevent them from getting affected by

respiratory diseases. Gloves will be provided to workers working with hand

tools, to ensure their safety. Small quantities of fugitive emissions are

envisaged during transport and handling of construction materials. Such

emissions will be temporary and controlled by the use of water sprinkling

and other viable techniques like covering of loose material with tarpaulin.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to responsibility of a company

to ensure positive impact on environment, consumers, employees,

communities, stakeholders and all other members of public sphere. CSR is

a way of conducting business by which the corporate entities visibly



EIA/EMP REPORT


contribute to the social good. The CSR activities are increasingly being

taken up by the project proponents not only as fulfilling of mandatory

provisions but also for the formation or enhancement of brand image.

Besides the above, CSR is seen more as a responsibility towards society

rather than a business promotional activity. It is the need of the day for

expansion of occupational welfare. It is expected that this will improve the

socio-economic status of the people and at the same time the popularity of

the project proponent will enhance. The activities to be undertaken for the

local people under CSR have been identified. For the local community in the

study area the project proponent should take-up the following development

initiatives for the betterment of the local people:

1. Skill Development and Women Empowerment

Providing training to the women for improving employability

skills and enhancing their self-dependency.

2. Infrastructure Development

Renovation of Government schools in the study area.

Sanitation Facilities including construction of girl‟s toilet in schools.

3. Improvement of Health Status

Health Checkups and medical camps.

Heath awareness workshops / programmes.

4. CONCLUSION

g) The socio-economic standard of people living in the study area will

improve due to the creation of employment opportunities for the

local job seekers. This will lead to better quality of life and will

also set a standard for future development in the study area.

h) There will be a positive impact on the socio-economic condition of

the study area due to increased economic activities, creation of



EIA/EMP REPORT


new employment opportunities, infrastructural development and

better educational and health facilities.

i) With the coming up of the project the associated business activities

will increase in the study area. The overall impact of the project is

expected to be positive for the users and local population.

CHAPTER-4

ANCIPATED ENVIRONMENT IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURE

INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses identification and appraisal of various

environmental impacts due to the Residential Project. Generally, the

environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or

secondary. The construction and functional phase of the project comprise

various activities, each of which may have some adverse impact on

environmental parameter. Various impacts during the construction and

operation phase on the environmental parameters have been studied to

estimate the impact on environment.

In development phase, basic infrastructure facilities like internal road,

Piling and storm water drainage, etc. was developed.

For proper evaluation and assessment of the environmental impacts due

to construction and functional phase of project understanding to the

various activities associated with the project is essential. Various

activities related to the project would be different, in terms of nature

during the construction and functional phase.

The impact identification and prediction process aims to:

Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of

project.

Characterize the potential impacts affecting a target or receptor

(physical, human and socio-economic).

Assess the potential of changing likely-hood of impact through

Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Prediction of the impacts due to the construction and functional

activities encompass the developmental processes to be

undertaken during construction and functional phases.



EIA/EMP REPORT


For each category of environmental receptor (such as ambient air

quality, water quality, soils, land etc.) the potential impacts of activities

has been assessed and discussed in detail in following sub sections. In

each case, cognizance has been taken for mitigation measures inherited

in the construction and operation phases.

Hierarchy of elements of mitigation plan

Figure 4.1: Elements of Mitigation

An EIA practice requires technical understanding of relevant issues and

measures that work in such circumstances. The priority of selection of

mitigation measures should be in the following order:

Step One: Impact avoidance:

This step is most effective when applied at an early stage of project

planning. It can be achieved by:

Not undertaking certain projects or elements that could result in

significant adverse impacts

Avoiding areas that are environmentally sensitive; and

Putting in place the preventative measures to stop adverse impacts

from occurring, for example, release of effluent from a project to

water bodies.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Step Two: Impact minimization

This step is usually taken during impact identification and prediction to

limit or reduce the degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse

impacts. It can be achieved by:

scaling down or relocating the proposal

redesigning elements of the project

taking supplementary measures to manage the impacts

Step Three: Impact compensation:

This step is usually applied to remedy unavoidable residual adverse

impacts after a project has become operational. It can be achieved by

rehabilitation of the affected site or environment, for example, by

habitat enhancement.

restoration of the affected site or environment to its previous state or

better.

replacement of the same resource values at another location.

POLLUTION SOURCES

Pollutants generated from the development of the project during both

the construction and operational phase will be solid, liquid and gaseous

in nature. Also, the generation of pollution could be continuous, periodic

or accidental. Sources of pollutants and their characteristics during the

construction and operation phase are given below in Table 4.1.

IMPACT IDENTIFICATION

The primary function of an environmental impact assessment study is to

predict and quantify potential impacts, assess and evaluate the magnitude

and their importance in order to develop an environmental management

plan to mitigate the impacts. Environmental impacts could be positive or

negative, direct or indirect, local or regional and also reversible or

irreversible. The areas of environmental concern for which the impacts and

their predictions are taken into consideration are mainly:



EIA/EMP REPORT


Air Environment

Water Environment

Noise Environment

Land Environment


Socio economic Environment

The impacts can be further categorized as positive impacts and

negative impacts depending upon their nature, potential and

magnitude.

This chapter discusses the incremental environmental impacts on the

environmental parameters during the construction and operation

phases of the project. The potential impacts have been identified in

Table 4.2. The mitigative measures for the adverse impacts are

ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING

DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Topography

The development does not involve considerable change in the topography of

the area, as the project was an expansion project. Since the project involves

the construction of basements excavation was done. The cut & fill was

balance by volume of earth which was excavated and for filling low lying

area and construction of embankment for roads.

The construction activities were proceed in a manner to maintain the

natural slope of the area by creating basements.

No additional stresses will be imposed by the project on these

parameters and hence no significant impacts are expected.

Land Use Pattern

The existing land use of the acquired site does not support any

agricultural practices; although, some of the small bushes and seasonal

vegetation exist within the site. Further, the said land has already been

granted for development of residential Project

Therefore, it can be inferred that the development has not cause any loss

to agricultural productivity.

The proposed facade of the project was designed with climate responsive

elements, sensitive use of stone, water and greenery to create an efficient

and aesthetic work environment. Planned environment friendly

development would create a positive impact on the aesthetics and visual

appeal of the region.

The development on the project site include development of large inter



EIA/EMP REPORT


connected landscaped areas and open spaces at various levels which

would enhance the overall aesthetics of the area.

The change in aesthetics and visual appeal of the region will also be

positive, wherein unplanned development will give way to a planned,

environment friendly and sustainable urban habitat.

Land Environment

Impact: To avoid loss of top soil during excavation, top soil was stored

temporarily in an earmarked area which was further used to laid over areas

for plantation. Rest of the soil was transported by road to fill up low lying

areas elsewhere. Proper drainage system is provided to channelize storm

water. Hence the impact on soil during construction phase was reversible in

the nature.

Mitigation: To ensure minimum or temporary disturbance to soil, it was

proposed to remove vegetative cover only from the specific area on which

construction has taken place and minimize disturbance to the vegetation in

adjacent areas. Land clearing activities only confined to necessary areas. The

top soil was stripped from constructional areas and stockpiled for later use in

landscaping. The number, frequency and area of movement of heavy vehicles

will be restricted on soil surface.

Water Environment

Surface Water Quality

Impact: The primary concerns relating to surface water quality associated

with construction activities are pointed out below:

Runoff related to unpaved and excavated areas during the rain shower.

Sediments transported to runoff from the construction site.

Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other materials are



EIA/EMP REPORT


stored, used and disposed, off.

Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from

the project site. The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the

increased soil erosion from excavated site only causing increase in the

suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site. However,

this impact will be minimized by planning garland drains and settling pits to

collect sediments and discharge only clean water to natural water bodies.

Also, this will be temporary in the nature and would be observed in first rain

only and after the first monsoon, the excavated soil at site would be

stabilized. Hence, more precautions are required.

Mitigation Measures:- The impact on surface water quality can be minimized

by adopting following measures;

Excavation during dry season and proper management of excavated soils,

Clearing all debris from site as soon as construction is over.

By providing hutment and toilet facilities for construction labour,

Through the proper disposal of wastewater generated at site.

Canal is bundled from the sides to prevent any kind of pollution to enter.

Ground water Quality

Impact: No hazardous chemical and material was used used during

construction phase of Residential Project. Debris and wastes generated

during this phase was collected and disposed suitably. Therefore, possibility

of contamination of ground water will be negligible. Hence, no impact was

anticipated on the ground water quality during the construction phase.

Mitigation: A well planned solid waste management plan was followed

during the construction phase including timely collection, segregation and

disposal as per legal requirements.

Surface and Ground Water



EIA/EMP REPORT


Hydrology Surface Water Hydrology

Impact: Runoff during rains take way to natural drains and storm water drains laid in the

area.

Mitigation Measures: Project proponent will ensure no interception on water

runoff flow routes and drainage pattern of the area throughout the

construction by providing adequate water channels.

Ground Water Hydrology

Impact: Water requirement during construction phase was varying

depending upon construction activities and was met by STP at the project

site. Water wias required for site preparation activities, dust settlement,

consolidation, compaction and curing as well as building construction and

drinking water requirement. The requirement of construction water did not

put sudden pressure on the available ground water resources of area as other

source of water supply was private water tankers. Therefore, impact on

ground water resource was insignificant during construction of the project

Mitigation Measures: Although no significant impact is anticipated on the

groundwater regime, following steps were provided to further minimize the

demand on freshwater resources:

Curing water was sprayed on concrete structures and free flow of water

not allowed.

After liberal curing on the first day, all concrete structures was

painted with curing chemicals to save water to stop daily water curing

hence save water.

Concrete structures was covered with thick cloth/gunny bags and then

water sprayed on them to avoid water rebound and ensure sustained

and complete curing.

Ponds was made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water flowing



EIA/EMP REPORT


away from the flat surface while curing.

Water ponding was done on all sunken slabs. This highlight the

importance of having an impervious formwork.

Air Environment

Emissions Source: The potential sources of air emissions during the

construction and development phase of the project as follows:

Dust was from earth works (during site clearance and preparation);

Emissions from power generator at site;

Emissions was from the operation of construction equipment and

machines;

Fugitive emissions from vehicles running to site;

Fugitive emissions was during the unloading of material at the site;

Fugitive emissions was during mixing of cement with other building

materials during development and construction activities;

Air emissions other than dust arise from combustion of hydrocarbons.

The pollutants of concerns are NO2, SO2, CO, particulate etc.

Air emission by the various stacks of industries.

Potential Impacts: Ambient air quality effects are normally assessed in

relation to their potential to cause;

Health deterioration and nuisance in local communities

Health deterioration amongst onsite workers

Assessment of the impacts from Dust Emissions: During the excavation of

channels, foundations, unloading of construction material, cement bags and

mixing of cement with other building materials such as brick and silica dust,

wood dust, fugitive dust emissions may be emitted at construction site.

During construction, dust suppression by water spraying was done and

curtaining floors from all sides was done to prevent cement dust from

becoming airborne. It may be noted that all the emissions was in the form of



EIA/EMP REPORT


coarse particulate matter and settle down ultimately in close vicinity of

construction site. Therefore, no significant impact was anticipated due to

dust emission during development and construction phase.

Assessment of the impact from Diesel Generators: Emissions from the D.G.

Set during construction phase caused some localized impact on ambient air

quality for short duration, as it was only operated during power failure only.

It may be noted that the D.G. Set power was used to operate construction

equipment only if required. Adequate height of stacks and acoustic erective is

provided to the D.G. Set as per guidelines of CPCB to facilitate the dispersion

of flue gases into the atmosphere.

Mitigation Measures: Adequate dust control systems in the form of

installation of batch plants, and loose material handling in covered sheds

was provided. Dust suppression system also provided where necessary. It is

also proposed to cover scaffolding, hosing down road surfaces and cleaning of

vehicles especially during the dry season. Avenue and curtain plantation on

the internal roads and peripheral plantation around the site is initiated from

the beginning of construction activities.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT

During the construction phase of project, noise was generated from the

various sources. Some major sources of noise generation at project site

are listed are under:

Generation of noise was during movement of vehicles carrying

materials and loading & unloading activities.

Generation of noise was from excavation machines, concrete mixer and

other construction machines,

Generation of noise during the operation of D.G. Set,

Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.

The noise emission sources during construction phase



EIA/EMP REPORT


included construction machineries/equipments to be employed at site.

Prediction Model

For an approximate estimation of propagation of noise in the ambient air

from the area or point source, a standard mathematical model for sound

wave propagation has been used which is as follows:

Noise (Receptor) = Noise (Source) - 20 Log [distance (Receptor) / distance (Source)]

The incremental noise level during the construction phase was predicted

using the CPCB approved noise model DHAWANI, applicable for stationary

point sources. For the modeling purposes, worst case scenario has been

considered assuming a flat terrain and absence of sound absorbers.

It may also be noted that the most of the construction activities was carried

out only during the daytime. The expected noise levels from various activities

are given hereunder:

Table 4.4: Anticipated Noise Levels During Construction Phase

Saw 76 dB (A)

Scarifier 83 dB (A)

Scraper 89 dB (A)

Shovel 82 dB (A)

Tie Cutter 84 dB (A)

Truck 88 dB (A)

Resultant Noise Level:

The combined effect of above sources can be determined as per the

following equation: Lp (total) = 10 log (10(Lpl/10) + 10(Lp2/10) +

10(Lp3/10) +……..) ……. (1)

Where: Lp1, Lp2 and Lp3 are noise pressure level at a point due to

different sources in dB (A).

For an approximate estimation of dispersion of noise in the ambient air

from the sources point, a standard mathematical model for sound wave

propagation is used. The sound level generated by noise source decrease

with increasing distance from the source due to wave divergence. An

additional decrease in sound pressure level from the source is expected

due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the

transmission path.



EIA/EMP REPORT


For hemispherical sound wave propagation through homogenous loss of free

medium, noise levels at various locations can be calculated due to different

sources using model based on the first principles as per the following,

equation:

Lp2 = Lp1 -20 log (r2/r1) ........................................................... ( 2 )

Where: Lp2 and Lp1 – Sound Pressure Level (SPLs) at distance of r2 and r1

from the source respectively in dB (A).

Assuming no environmental attenuation factors, noise modeling has been

done, which shows that additional noise level will not be much above the

baseline noise level with in short distance.

The noise produced during, development and construction phase will have

temporary impacts on the existing, ambient noise levels at project site but

restricted to small distance and only during daytime. Therefore, the impact

of noise levels on surrounding area will be insignificant during the

development and construction phase.

Mitigation: To minimize impacts of noise generation from construction

activities, the workers was provided with ear muffs and other protection

devices. D.G. Sets with proper acoustic enclosure for controlling noise was

installed at the project site. Avenue and curtain plantation on the internal

roads and peripheral plantation around the site servea as an attenuator and

was initiated from the beginning of construction activities


Impact: There is no loss of forestland due to the construction of the project.

No tree felling was involved, Birds and other domesticated biodiversity

observed near the project site are common and already adapted to thrive in

human - colonized habitats. The project did not have any significant negative



EIA/EMP REPORT


ecological impact. There is no forest near the project site and therefore there

is no effect on the ecology of the area.

Mitigation Measures: However, developed extensive green areas in the

project site improved the aesthetics of the area which helps in reduction of

air pollution, noise pollution and provide suitable habitat for local birds and

animal species.

Economic Impacts

Impact: Relatively long-lived economic impacts of the development and

construction phase are likely to be experienced in local area for the duration

of construction phase of workers was be hired every day from local traders in

nearby areas. This is likely to give a short-lived stimulus to the traders that

may disappear as soon as the construction is complete. Noticeable, flow-on

economic impacts will be experienced in other sectors of economy as a result

of purchase of construction materials and the payment of wages and salaries

to the personnel engaged in the development and construction of project.

Once the development and construction of the project will complete, there

will be long-term positive impact on the economic structure of the area.

People in the area will get direct and indirect employment opportunities and

other benefits from the Project. Therefore, overall positive impact is

anticipated on economy of the area due to development and construction

activity of the project

Socio-Economic

During the construction phase, about 200 workers got direct employment

opportunity, and during operational phase about 40 workers will get direct

employment which will have beneficial impact on the local people and

improve socio-economic conditions of the area.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Construction Camp

Impact: During the

development and

construction phase, most of the laborers was from local areas. Therefore, temporary laborer

camps was constructed to accommodate the laborers at the project site..

Mitigation: Suitable measures was taken at the construction camps to

mitigate anticipated impacts due to temporary accommodation of laborers

such as provision of clean drinking water, adequate toilet facilities, water

and solid waste disposal system.

Other safety precautions was also maintained at work site including

provision of PPEs, guarding of dangerous machine parts, maintenance of

equipments as hoists and lifts etc, and adequate provision of different types

of fire extinguishers was made. All applicable rules and regulations

pertaining to workplace health and welfare of workers will be adhered to.

Solid Waste Management

Impact: The construction waste includes debris, concrete (often recycled and

reused at the site), steel and other metals, pallets, packaging and paper

products, fluorescent tubes, wood beams, joists, studs, baseboards, cabinets

and cupboards, railings, brick, doors and casings, interior windows, bathroom

fixtures, light fixtures, ceiling grid and tile, furnishings, replant trees,

shrubs. All waste generated during the construction phase was collected and

segregated for disposal as per the standard practice.

During the development and construction phase, some amount of debris,

cuttings of construction materials was observed at construction site.

However, the quantity of these waste materials was very small and limited

up to the construction site only. There was no contamination due to this

waste as it was collected time to time during construction phase and disposed



EIA/EMP REPORT


accordingly.

Mitigation Measures: After due waste segregation, recyclable wastes was

sold off to scrap dealers and vendors. Hazardous wastes was disposed off as

per the provisions of the Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling)

Rules, 2016.

Impact: During development and construction phase, construction labour and

construction materials bringing vehicles was approach the project site. The

Residential Project is well connected to neighborhood, where public transport

facility, like, buses and minibuses are available as transport linkage. During

construction phase, some impact is anticipated on the transport linkage of

the area, however increase in traffic will not adversely affect the local traffic

pattern since the site is well connected by road of adequate width

Mitigation: Through careful planning, the movement of the heavy vehicles

will be scheduled to reduce incremental load on existing traffic such that the

peak hours are avoided. It shall also be ensured that all the vehicles to the

site will be provided with Parking space such that there is no waiting time

along the access roads.

ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING

POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Land Environment

During the operation phase, carefully designed landscaped areas and

plantation will be maintained. No significant impact is expected on the

soils on and around the site, due to the following management measures:

i. All solid and hazardous wastes from the project will be

properly collected, stored and disposed. An integrated solid

waste management plan will be developed as per the details

given in Chapter 6.



EIA/EMP REPORT


ii. Wastewater will be treated and disinfected and reused for

various purposes on site and will not be discharged outside the

premises.

iii. Storm water will be used to recharge the aquifer after filtration of silt

and sand.

iv. Secondary containment will be provided in fuel, oil and other material

storage areas.

v. The entire site area will be well paved and thus there will be no

leaching of any substances in case of spills.

Hence, no negative impact on soil quality in the study area is expected

due to the project activities.

Water environment

Surface water hydrology

Impact: The waste water generated from the activity, will be collected

through the lined network for treatment in the Sewage Treatment Plant

(STP). The treated wastewater will be reused and no discharge of polluted

water will be made into any surface water body. Therefore, impact on the

surface water hydrology was insignificant during the post construction

phase.

Mitigation: In absence of any storm water drainage, the rainfall often finds

its way into the surface water bodies. To avoid the same, a well planned rain

water harvesting plan was proposed that collect the rain water, as ground

water level is shallow at site and by doing this, it is possible to recharge

ground water as well as maintain water in river to meet demands of the

people living near by the river.

Ground water hydrology

Impact: Underground water tank of required capacity is provided and over



EIA/EMP REPORT


head tanks also provided for water storage. Therefore, no significant impact

is anticipated on ground water resources due to the project as it water level

in the area is shallow.

Mitigation Measures: It is proposed that rain water will be collected and

conveys the same to recharge pits through proper drainage channel, as

ground water level is shallow at site and by doing this, it is possible to

recharge ground water as well as maintain water in river to meet demands of

the people living near by the river. Treated wastewater from the site will be

recycled for landscaping, flushing to further reduce demand on freshwater

resources.

Water meters conforming to IS standards shall be installed at the inlet point

of water uptake and at the discharge point to monitor the daily water

consumption. To further lower the water consumption, options of Low Flow

Flushing systems, sensor based fixtures, waterless urinals, and tap aerators

etc will be explored.

Surface Water Quality

Impact: The wastewater generated from the project will be collected through

the lined network, and treated in a STP will be provided in module wise. No

discharges from the project site will be made to any surface water body.

Mitigation Measures: Effluent will be discharged after proper treatment.

Ground Water Quality

Impact: The storm water from the site will be channelized to recharge pits for

the reason as explained above. The wastewater from the site is proposed to

be used for landscaping only after adequate treatment in existing Sewage

Treatment Plant. Hence, no adverse impact is anticipated on the

groundwater quality form the project.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Mitigation Measures: Solid waste management practices is adopted and

followed to prevent groundwater pollution through leaching.

AIR ENVIRONMENT

Air Emissions Sources

Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate from one place to

another place depending upon the wind direction and speed. The sources

of air emission can be grouped into three categories of point, area and line

sources:

1. A pollutant source that can be treated in a dispersion model as

though pollutants were emitted from a single point that is fixed

in space. Example: the mouth of a smoke stack.

2. An array of pollutant sources so widely dispersed and uniform in

strength that they can be treated in a dispersion model as an

aggregate pollutant release from a defined area at a uniform rate.

Such sources may include vehicles and other small engines, small

businesses and household activities, or biogenic sources, such as

a forest, that release hydrocarbons.

3. An array of pollutant sources along a defined path that can be

treated in dispersion models as an aggregate uniform release of

pollutants along a line. Example: the sum of emissions from

individual cars traveling down a highway can be treated as a line

source.

Prediction of Impacts

Vehicular emissions and DG set emissions was the major sources of air

pollution. During the post construction phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be

owned by the population of such project. Ground Level Concentration of



EIA/EMP REPORT


pollutants (as added by the project) will depend upon the following:

Emission of pollutants from additional traffic on the roads due to the

project.

Meteorological conditions.

Emission sources from D.G. Sets.

Industry specific emissions

PM, NO2, SO2 and CO will be the main pollutants of primary concern

released from traffic movement, DG sets emissions. The dispersion of

vehicular emissions would be confined within limited distance from the road

and concentration will decrease with the increase in distance from road as

worked out by the line source model. It was anticipated that the contribution

of vehicular emissions from the exhaust in ambient air quality will be

marginal as Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certified vehicles and branded

vehicles with low sulphur diesel will be used. Ground Level Concentration

(GLC) of pollutants are found to be well within the stipulated National

Ambient Air Quality Standards due to traffic movement and vehicles used

inside the premises. Air modeling for DG set using ISCST3 model has been

done for prediction of impacts caused by DG sets operation during Operation

Phase. Stack & emission data was used as per design value provided by

standard make and stipulated standards. Other primary data used as input

for model were hourly meteorological data of Wind speed & direction,

temperature, cloud amount and mixing height. Mixing height used in the

model was taken from secondary data source “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height

Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India published in 2008 by IMD,

Delhi”. Hourly meteorological monitored at site during study period data was

compared with long term data available from the nearest IMD Station.

Power requirement will be met from JVVNL. Back-up power supply will be

provided by installing 1 nos. sets of combined capacity = (1 × 380 kVA + 1 ×



EIA/EMP REPORT


500 kVA). This will cause emission of PM, SO2, NO2 and CO in the ambient

air quality. In the project, D.G. set will be used only during power failure

and low sulphur diesel will be used as fuel to minimize SO2 emission.

Incremental load in the ambient air environment will be found to be very low

as given in the report. An adequate stack height for D.G. sets is provided as

per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/

National Building Code Manual to facilitate adequate dispersion of

pollutants and to minimize the impact on Ambient Air Quality under the

influence of local meteorology.

Meteorology - Hourly Meteorological data of wind speed & direction,

temperature, cloud amount and rainfall were monitored at site for 1 months

for the dispersion model. Wind rose

was prepared in sixteen directions as per standards. It was observed that

westerly and north- northwesterly wind was the prevalent wind direction

during the study period. Average wind speed was 5.77 knots and calm

condition was 0% during pre-monsoon.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Model details and Frame work of Computation:

The predictions for air quality during operation phase was carried out using

CPCB/MoEF&CC approved USEPA, Industrial Source Complex (Version -

ISCST3) Dispersion model developed by the US Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) for prediction of pollutants dispersion from single or

multiple point sources using emission and hourly meteorological data of the

study period. Assumption used in the model was as follows:

The plume rise is limited to that of the mixing layer as published by IMD in

the Catalogue of Atlas of Mixing Heights in India for the site

Stack down-wash is not considered.

Flat terrain is used for computations;

It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical

transformation.

Chemical and scavenging process occurred in the atmosphere in the

pollutants released at the stack exit is not considered.

Prediction is based on single/multiple point sources, pollution released

at stack exit and dispersed on the ground under influence of local

meteorological conditions during the season.

ISCST3 dispersion model was used to predict GLC caused by a single point

source (1 stack) at each receptor of 100 m x 100 m of grid network covering

total area of 2000 m x 2000 m around the proposed source with stack &

emission values and 1-hourly meteorological data. It was observed that SO2,

NO2, Co and PM were significant pollutants released from the fuel of the

D.G. sets. Emission of PM, CO and SO2 were found insignificant with low

values compared to NO2. In this project, NO2 was the worst affected pollutant

released into the atmosphere. 24-h GLC were predicted for SO2, NO2, CO and

PM but isopleth of NO2 is only presented in the report as GLC of other



EIA/EMP REPORT


pollutants were lower under similar meteorological conditions.

Discussion of Results

ISCST3 - Dispersion model was used to predict GLC of NO2 with stack &

emission and hourly meteorological data. NO2, being the predominant source,

24-hours average maximum incremental GLC of NO2 was predicted to be

2.60 µg/m3 which will occur at X= 1400m, Y= 0 m from the DG sets fitted

with 66 m chimney. It was found that GLC of NO2 was less than the

permissible limit of 100µg/m3 (as per CPCB guidelines) even under worst

meteorological condition (Table 4.5).

Spatial distribution of NO2 is shown in isopleth Figure 4.4. It was observed

that GLC closed to the proposed source will be not significant. 24-h

maximum value was 2.60µg/m3 occurring at the distance 1200 m West of the

prediction point.

Conclusion

Incremental 24-h GLC of NO2 was 2.60µg/m3. High to moderate wind speed

and minimum stack height of 36 m facilitates dispersion at the distance of

1200 m West under the influence of local meteorology.

Mitigation Measures: The project proponent will develop a green belt inside

the premises of the project site and along the internal road, which will work

as barrier for the movement of pollutants and help in pollution control.

Different native varieties of plants will be planted i.e. for parks, parking

area, avenues etc. Common trees which are going to be planted are Neem,

Amaltus, Pipal, Pilkhan and Maulsiri,Samel & Alstonia. Road-side

plantation will be carried out.

Noise Environment

Impact: The main sources of noise from the project are running of D.G. Set.

D.G. Set installed will provide emergency electricity supply during power

failure. This will be intermittent and for short durations. The PUC certified

will be allowed to enter the site.

Mitigation Measures: D.G. Sets will be fitted in suitable acoustic enclosures

Adequate personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to the

personnel engaged in D.G. Set room. The traffic noise will diminish within a

short distance from the source of origin. Honking within the site will be

discouraged. Proposed rows of plantation will further restrict the noise on

other side of the plantation i.e. outside the boundary.

Terrestrial Ecology

Impact: The project proposes 6120.64 Sq. m of green area that will be planted

with local species with aesthetic appeal that will attract local bird and insect

species.

Mitigation Measures: Various kinds of plantation such as curtain, avenue

and ornamental plantation and lawns was started during the construction

phase itself and maintained during the operation phase. Open space and

Parks will be fenced through the grasses and ornamental plants. Local and



EIA/EMP REPORT


low water demanding plants that will also be effective as sinks for various

pollutants and attract birds will be grown in the site that will contribute in

positive to the local ecology.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT

IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Positive Impacts

Better Physical Infrastructure

At present the Project area is devoid of adequate physical infrastructure.

There is lack of good quality roads, communication and transport, and water

facilities in the project area. The project will involve road upgrading and

better power and water supply in the area. This would enhance the existing

infrastructure and also encourage further development in the surroundings.

It is likely that with better communication and accessibility infrastructure,

there will be increase in the number of local people indulging in trade,

commerce and allied services.

Better Social Infrastructure

The design of project has recognized the important role that social

infrastructure plays in the creation of strong, healthy and sustainable

communities. Sustainable communities require good schools, good health

services, good parks, transport choices, flourishing businesses as well as a

range of housing types. The design includes: office spaces and plenty of open

spaces and green area that will reduce vehicles congestion and air pollution

etc. It will provide the following benefits:

Better conducive environment for living

Enhance confidence of foreign investors in Jaipur

Green initiatives :- reduce traffic congestion / fuel consumption / pollutions



EIA/EMP REPORT


Employment Potential:

During the Construction period, there was requirement of workers thus

providing opportunities for employment. The proposed project will provide

employment to local residents. Besides this, local building material

industries supplied cement, sand stone and other materials. The

construction of project will increase the movement of workers and people in

the area, providing a greater exchange of technology and business

opportunities. Generation of additional economic activity is expected to

create employment opportunities for the local population during operation

phase. The service industry will have a corresponding increased market

base. Money spent within the local economies will have a multiplier effect as

the money is spent throughout the community. This will improve the

business base in the region and will lead to additional services being

provided.

Other Benefits

Benefits to women: The facility has generated jobs for the women laborers

during construction as well as operation phase. The women would also

have the opportunities for administrative or other supervisory jobs, closer

to their place of stay.

Increase in land value: With the project coming in the area the prices of the

land will increase considerably. Hence the project will have beneficial

impact.

Better health and educational facility: The proposed facility is well planned

and would be designed to incorporate the state of art health facility and

therefore would provide emergency services. Similarly Private

educational resources in the study area would provide for the better



EIA/EMP REPORT


education.

Wider economic growth: This project will increase the economic activities

around the area, creating avenues for direct/indirect employment in the

post project period. There would be a wider economic impact in terms of

generating opportunities for other business like workshops, marketing,

repair and maintenance tasks etc.

Aesthetics Environment: The architectural character of the new

building, the vistas and landscaped areas created would improve the

aesthetics of the area.

Additional Revenues: The development of land for any purpose creates both

an immediate demand for services and a flow of revenues to the

community from a variety of sources. For example property tax, licenses

and permits fee etc.

Negative Impacts

Traffic and Transport: During the construction phase, truck movement due to

construction activities taken place. In order to minimize any inconvenience

that may arise, the movement of trucks was only allowed during night and

non-peak hours. During the operation phase, the traffic in the area is likely

to increase. This may lead to traffic congestion and inconvenience for

pedestrians and residents accessing the localities. The traffic study and

Transportation Management Plan being developed for the project will

mitigate these impacts to a large extent

Transit Labor population: Laborers for the project were from surrounding

areas. About 400 laborers were working on the site and most of them

were on contract or from the neighboring settlements. No significant

pressure on local infrastructure is envisaged.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Negligible Impacts

Resettlement & rehabilitation issues: Since there is no existing settlement at

the project site, hence there is no issue of resettlement or rehabilitation.

Demography: During construction and operation phase, some of the work

force is likely to be nonlocal. It is highly unlikely that this will affect or alter

the existing demographic profile and population density.

Impact on historical, archeological & architectural sites: There are no historical

or archeological monuments of significance within 10 kilometers radius of

the project and hence no negative impact in this regard is anticipated.

CHAPTER-5

ALTERNATIVE OF ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses the assessment of various options that may be available

for different components of the project in terms of environmental suitability.

Lately, there are a number of options available for the use of building materials,

means of energy conservation and methods of transportation. The various

applicable options are thus evaluated for their suitability to project and

environment.

BUILDING MATERIALS

The choice of building materials plays an important role in terms of energy

efficiency of the building. The manufacture of building materials should also be

assessed to ensure the use of environment friendly and recycled/ recyclable

construction materials.

Wall

Conventionally, sun burnt clay bricks are cemented in the construction of walls.

The strength of these construction materials cannot be compromised which will

otherwise pose a threat to the life and property of the occupants. However,

presently, materials with similar properties are easily available that are made of

waste products, thereby reducing the waste burden and conserving natural

resources. Thus, the project proposes the use of the following for walls:

Brick and block products with waste and recycled contents such as fly ash

(15 to 35%), blast furnace slag (20 to 25%), sewage sludge, waste wood

fiber etc.

Fal-G products – are manufactured by use of two waste products being fly

ash, calcite gypsum (a byproduct of phosphorgypsum or natural gypsum)



EIA/EMP REPORT


along with lime.

Perforated bricks

Materials proposed for use in the wall openings such as doors and windows

include:

Precast thin lintels, use of fibrocement-sunshade cum lintel etc.

Renewable timber

Steel manufactured from recycled content

Aluminum manufactured from verified recycled content

Saw dust based doors and window frames

Ferro cement shutters, PVC doors and windows, Rice husk boards,

Natural fibre- reinforced

Polymer composite door panels

The finishing for the openings will be by the use of Fly ash, Ceramic tiles,

and Terrazzo floors.

Roof

The conventional material used for roofing is RCC, as it is suitable for longer

spans. The constituents of RCC, i.e. cement, sand, aggregate and steel are energy

intensive materials and high embodied energy content.

Alternately, it is proposed to use lightweight synthetic aggregates such as fly ash

based aggregates, which is suitable for manufacture of brick, blocks, and is good

substitute for clinker and natural aggregates. When pre-cast/aerated cellular

concrete walling blocks and roofing slabs are used in multi- storied structures,

they reduce the weight, resulting in a more economical design. They have high

rating to fire resistance and provide better insulation and thus improved energy

efficiency. These are manufactured by the aerated cellular concrete

manufacturing process.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Superstructure

Structural frame of building comprises of footing, columns, beams and lintels,

over which the envelope of building is supported. A variety of metals are used in

buildings, but the major building material used structurally is steel. Steel has a

high-embodied energy and recyclable content, as well as scrap value. Aluminum

forms the second most common material used for roofing sheets, window frames,

and cladding systems, which has the highest recyclable content. Hence, bulk of

the metal needs for the building shall be met by steel and aluminum. Problem

with RCC. The choice of cement will be:

Use of fly ash and/or blast furnace slag concrete: The amount of cement

used in concrete can be reduced by replacing a portion of the cement with

coal fly ash (waste material from coal burning power plants) and/or GGBF

(ground granulated blast furnace) slag in conventional mixes.

Recycled aggregates: Recycled aggregates include crushed concrete, brick,

glass, or other masonry waste can also be used in conventional mixes

Lightweight concrete: Aluminum powder when added to lime reacts and

form hydrogen bubbles, and a lightweight cementations material is formed

which could be used in conventional mixes.

Roads and open spaces

Roads and open spaces consist of compound walls, grills, roads, sidewalks, parking

lots, drains, curbs, landscaped areas, street furniture, tree covers, and flowerbeds.

In line with environment friendly design it is proposed to provide:

Permeable paving- Permeable (porous) paving will be provided to control

surface water runoff by allowing storm water to infiltrate the soil and

return to the ground water. The traffic areas will however continue to be

impermeable.

Gravel/crusher fines- Loose aggregate materials from masonry wastes will



EIA/EMP REPORT


be used to cover pedestrian surfaces.

Use of grass pavers on the road, parking and pedestrian areas to reduce

the heat island effect.

Use of steel in fencing, grills, tree covers, and benches and even in

streetlights will be replaced by bamboo in the parks and green landscaped

areas.

NATURAL HAZARD PRONE AREAS

The project is situated in earthquake risk area (Seismic zone- IV). Special

attention is thus given to the structural design of foundation, elements of

masonry, timber, plain concrete, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and

structural steel. All applicable guidelines was also be followed in this regard to

ensure safety of the building and its occupants.

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT

Without compromising on the safety and comfort of the occupants, care was

taken to achieve an energy efficient, water conscious project the benefits of which

will be enjoyed in monetary terms by the employees and other intangible benefits

will result for the society at large. This will be achieved by:

a. Minimal disturbance to landscapes and site condition

The project aims to integrate the new development with the local existing

surroundings. Efforts are made to minimize on-site tree cutting by careful and

detailed layout planning. Tree felling shall be undertaken only after receiving

requisite permissions and under strict supervision. The original landscape of the

site has also been integrated with the design of the project such that there is no

alteration the site topography.

b. Resource Conservation and Environmental Friendly Building Materials

To reduce the ecological footprint of the development, use of recycled material for



EIA/EMP REPORT


construction and conserving natural resources is of primary importance. In this

light, the use of recyclable building materials has been proposed for various

building materials. It is also proposed to reuse building components,

minimization of construction wastes etc.

The project is also committed towards conservation of water. This includes use of

treated sullage, rainwater harvesting, provision of low water flow fixtures and

raising awareness on means of water conservation. There will be provision of

dual plumbing in the office and separate line for flushing in the office. Treated

water will be used for flushing used in the dual plumbing. Sullage generated will

be treated to the tertiary level till it will conform to the standards.

c. Efficient use of Water and Water Recycling

The need for water conservation in the face of impending water crisis cannot be

overemphasized. The project will follow a three pronged management for water

resource viz water resource development, minimize use of water and recycle

sullage generated within the site.

Rainwater harvesting across the entire project area is proposed to recharge

groundwater. A detailed storm water drainage system and water harvesting

procedures are proposed to achieve this.

The water demand is proposed to be brought down by the use of water efficient

fixtures, implement best management practices for horticultural activities. An

important means for achieving this is spreading awareness to the occupants for

generating water conservation awareness.

To reduce the freshwater demand of the project, sullage from site will be treated

in a STP and recycled for landscaping, flushing, etc.

d. Use of Energy Efficient design and Eco-Friendly Equipment

The project was designed such that there is optimal solar energy utilization,

especially for natural light availability. Shading was provided on sides that will

otherwise reduce the energy efficiency of the building. Energy conservation will



EIA/EMP REPORT


be one of the focuses during the planning, development, and post construction

stages.

Use of Renewable Energy

The electrical supply is largely dependent on thermal power plants that are

largely responsible for accelerating the phenomenon of global warming and

consumption of limited natural resources. It is of paramount importance to shift

focus on other renewable sources of energy to achieve sustainable development in

the energy sector. The project area receives adequate hours and intensity of

sunlight for effective solar energy generation. Taking full cognizance of the

availability of natural sunlight and technology, the project proposes the use of

solar energy to reduce the power demand of the project.

Solar energy will be used for the purpose of heating of the water.

e. Indoor Air Quality for Human Safety and Comfort

To provide the occupants with a safe building is the primary responsibility of a

developer. Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are

the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate

ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough

outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air

pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also

increase concentrations of some pollutants. Likewise, it is proposed to use all

user safe building materials such as:

i. The buildings will be painted with low VOC, ammonia free paints.

ii. Asbestos will not be used.

iii. Adequate ventilation will be provided in floor.

iv. Adequate openings for sunlight to enter the building, thereby reducing

chances of microbial growth.



EIA/EMP REPORT


v. All building maintenance and cleaning materials will be kept in an

isolated and well ventilated room with restricted entry.

f. Effective Controls and Management Systems

It is proposed to establish a Management System that will comprise modern

equipment‟s as well as an efficient team of maintenance staff.

i. All essential services such as water supply will be provided with power back

up.

ii. A security system for the project will be provided comprising intercom

facility, closed circuit camera to the entrance and round-the-clock

manning.

iii. Separate entries and exits of employees from the visitors are proposed.

The staff vehicles will be provided with identification stickers while

visitors‟ vehicles will be monitored through security guards at the

entrances.

The project further proposes extensive green areas as avenues, parks and

roadside plantations. The plants not only serve various direct environmental

facilities, but also have indirect positive environmental impacts such as

reduction in overall energy use in buildings. The balcony garden is a natural

development of the balcony‟s role as a link between interior and exterior

environments. Efforts will be made to cover walls with climbers, as feasible.

COMMUNITY ISSUES

Apart from the site occupants, all efforts will be made to ensure that the exiting

neighborhood is not adversely affected by the project.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

To achieve conservation of energy, appropriate design of a building is of

paramount importance. Accordingly, it is proposed to incorporate the guidelines



EIA/EMP REPORT


of Energy conservation Building Code, 2016 for the building structures.

The concept of passive solar design emphasizes architectural design approaches

that minimize building energy consumption by integrating conventional energy-

efficient devices, such as mechanical and electrical pumps, fans, lighting fixtures,

and other equipment, with passive design elements, such as building sitting, an

efficient envelope, appropriate amounts of fenestration, increased day lighting

design, and thermal mass. The basic idea of passive solar design is to allow

daylight, heat, and airflow into a building only when beneficial.

The project layout has been finalized after careful sitting consideration of

optimize availability of natural sunlight. Advanced Solar Passive Techniques are

employed to achieve energy efficiency.

Glazed windows are located to receive maximum sunlight in winter.

To reduce heat losses during the night these windows are often

double-glazed and have insulating curtains.

Thermal storage wall is placed between the glazing and habitable

space to prevent solar radiation from directly entering the living

space.

Passive cooling systems i.e. cooling directly from evaporation,

convection radiation without using any intermediate electrical

devices.

Provisions for use of desert cooler (Indirect evaporative cooling which

comprises water, evaporative pads, a fan and a pump).

Effective measures have been incorporated to minimize the energy consumption

in following manners:

Use of LED lamps instead of GLS lamps for Common area.

Compliance to RERC (Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission)

norms.



EIA/EMP REPORT


TRANSPORTATION

A well planned road network is developed within the project premises. Adequate

parking was provided during construction phase to ensure that all heavy vehicles

visiting the site are provided parking space within the site. There parking was

not access the roads. The movement of the vehicles was also scheduled such that

the peak hours were avoided.

In the operation phase, entry and exits will be from separate gates to minimize

disturbance to the approach roads to the project site. To avoid congestion of the

approach roads, space will be provided for vehicles waiting checking. Adequate

parking is also proposed to ensure there is no parking along the roads. Within

the site, wide roads are proposed. To achieve the same, speed humps will be

provided. Water sprinklers will be applied to reduce the diffusion during loading

/ unloading and transportation of construction materials. Green areas of suitable

width and species will be planted to reduce the air & noise pollution generated

due to traffic movement. Plant species will be selected as per the norms.

CHAPTER 7

ADDITIONAL STUDIES

INTRODUCTION

This chapter analyses the studies that has been carried out for the purpose of

better understanding of disaster during construction and operation of the

project. It also highlights the in-advance preparation to face disaster with

respect to both on site and off site emergencies. The chapter also covers socio

economic studies done for the project.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Managing this accidental risk in today‟s environment is the concern of every

industry, because either real or perceived incidents can quickly jeopardize the

financial viability of a business. Many facilities involve various manufacturing

processes that have the potential for accidents which may be catastrophic to

the plant, work force and environment or public.

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of risk assessment study is to propose a

comprehensive but simple approach to carry out risk analysis and conducting

feasibility studies for industries, planning and management of industrial

prototype hazard analysis study in Indian context.

RISK HAZARD AND ITS CONTROL MEASURES

ON SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN

The on- site management plan was circulated to all concerned member of

emergency team. It is essential that all concerned person are familiar with the

overall on- site emergency plan and their respective roles and responsibilities



EIA/EMP REPORT


during emergency. They also had participated regularly in the mock drills to

keep in a state of perpetual preparedness at all times to meet any emergency.

Action Plan of on-site Emergency Plan

The parameters considered are given as follows:

To constitute Disaster Management Committee under Senior Officers.

To identify potential hazards areas in the layout map

To use model to predict hazards impact in the surrounding areas in form

of pool-fire or gas leakage.

To predict degree of burns and distance of the risk zone by using model.

To evacuate the area within risk zone.

To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it.

To minimize the effects of accidents on people and property.

To take remedial measures in the quickest possible time to contain the

incident and control it with minimum damage.

To mobilize the internal resource and utilize them in the most effective

way.

To get help from the local community and government official to

supplement internal manpower and resources.

To minimize the damage in other sections.

To keep the required emergency equipment in stock at right places and

ensure that they are in working condition.

To keep the concerned personnel fully trained in the use of emergency

equipment.

To give immediate warning to the surrounding localities in case of

emergency situation arising.

To mobilize transport and medical treatment of the injured.

To educate the public in the surrounding village regarding hazards.

To arrange treatment of causalities.



EIA/EMP REPORT


To safe guard the people.

To identify the causalities and communicate to persons known to them.

To render necessary help to concerned.

To rehabilitate area affected.

To provide information to media and government agencies.

Scope of on-site Emergency Plan

The plan covers information regarding the properties of the proposed project,

type of disasters and disaster/accident prone zones. The important elements

considered in this plan are:

Statutory requirement Emergency organization

Roles and responsibility

Communications during emergency

Emergency facilities

Important information

The primary purpose of the on- site emergency plan is to control and contain

the incident and so to prevent it from spreading. To cover eventuality in the

plan and the successful handling of the emergency will depend on appropriate

action and decision being taken on the spot.

Construction of the buildings was done with following all safety norms.

However, it is not always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and

random failures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major

hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with mitigating the effects of such

emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. A detailed table showing

activities during construction and operation phase along with mitigation

measures are given in Table 7.1:

7.2.1 Emergency

A major emergency in any situation is one, which has the potential to cause

serious injury or loss of life, which may cause extensive damage to the

structure in vicinity and environment and could result in serious disruption to

normal operation both inside and outside the industry premises. Depending on

the magnitude the emergency, service of the outside agencies may also be

damage.

The management has to take effective steps to assess, minimize and wherever

feasible eliminate the risk to large extent. Accident may still occur and it is

necessary to be fully prepared to tackle all such emergencies if and when they

occur.

It is likely that the consequences of such emergencies will be confined to the

units concerned or may affect outside. If the consequences are confined within

the plant boundary, it will be controlled by Chief Emergency Controller. The

most widely used techniques in practice will based on experience accumulated

over many year and safety audits.



EIA/EMP REPORT


STORAGE & HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

Both the hazardous & non hazardous material generated within the Project

Site, shall be temporarily accommodated in necessary units placed within the

premises in line with the Safety, Health and Environmental standards.

The size of these temporary units will depend on the quantity and the type of

Hazardous waste materials like asbestos, PCB, oils, fuels etc. with appropriate

storage capacities are placed in the Estate following Hazardous Waste

Management and Handling Rules (2016). Also, if gas cylinders will be stored in

the project premises, the Gas Cylinders Rules under explosives Act will be

followed. Later, these materials will be disposed off at a centralized disposal

facility with utmost care following safety norms.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION: Hazard is the characteristic of any system or

process which has the potential for accident

The typical methods for hazard identification employed are:

Identification of major hazardous units based on Manufacture, Storage

and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 of Government of India

(amended in 2016)

Identification of hazardous wastes based on Hazardous Waste

(Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008, as

its amendments (amended in 2016).

Hazardous substances may be classified into three main classes.

HAZARD ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION: A preliminary hazard analysis

shall be carried out to identify the major hazards associated with storages in

the facility. This is followed by consequence analysis to quantify these hazards.

Following are the vulnerable zones of accident:

Frequent causes of accidents:

Fire and explosion: explosives, flammable materials

Hazardous substances and wastes:

Heavy and toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, etc.)

Organometallic substances (tributyltin, etc.)

Lack of hazard communication (storage, labelling, material safety data

sheets)

Batteries, fire-fighting liquids

PCBs and PVC

Welding fumes

Volatile organic compounds (solvents)

Inhalation in confined and enclosed spaces

Physical hazards:

Noise

Vibration

Radiation (UV, radioactive materials)



EIA/EMP REPORT


Hazard Seasonality Map

Catastrophe like floods, cold wave, drought, hailstorms etc. are climatic

hazards and therefore have seasonal probability of occurrence. Mishaps like

fires and chemical accidents can occur any season. Similarly, occurrence of

earthquake is highly unpredictable and can occur in any season of the year, so

its probability is throughout the year.

Hazards like road accidents and rail accidents have high probability in the

months of December and January as during these months there is dense fog all

over the district may result into accidents. Similarly, hazardous chemicals

transporting also have similar risk. The above

mentioned list of hazards in Faridabad, show a pattern depending upon the probability and

severity of occurrence during various months of the year. The following table

shows probability and seasonality of hazards.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

A disaster is a catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged

into helplessness and suffering and, as a result, need protection, clothing,

shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life. The Disaster

Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of Environment,

protection of installation, restoration of production and salvage operations in

this same order of priorities. For effective implementation of the Disaster

Management Plan, it should be widely circulated and a personnel training is

to be provided through rehearsals/drills. To tackle the consequences of a major

emergency inside the plant or immediate vicinity of the plant, a Disaster

Management Plan has to be formulated and this planned emergency document

is called Disaster Management Plan.

The objective of the Disaster Management Plan is to make use of the combined

resources of the plant and the outside services to achieve the following:



EIA/EMP REPORT


Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;

Safeguard other people;

Minimize damage to property and the environment;

Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

Identify any dead;

Provide for the needs of relatives;

Provide authoritative information to the news media;

Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected area;

Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent inquiry

into the cause and circumstances of the Emergency.

In effect, it is to optimize operational efficiency to rescue rehabilitation and

render medical help and to restore normalcy.

Disaster Management Plan should include Emergency Preparedness Plan,

Emergency Response Team, Emergency Communication, Emergency

Responsibilities, Emergency Facilities and Emergency Actions

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

(ERP)

The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use

of the combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the

following:

1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it;

2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;

3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;

4. Safeguard other people;

5. Evacuate people to safe areas;

6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities;

7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into

the cause and circumstances of the emergency;



EIA/EMP REPORT


9. Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence

The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards

can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the

concerned area. The plan takes into account the maximum credible loss

scenario - actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/

emergency need to be well planned so that they would require less effort

and resources to control and terminate emergencies.

Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fires in

buildings and fire in diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage and

an ERP pertaining to these is described in the following section.

RESPONSE IN CASE OF

EARTHQUAKE

Response Procedures for

Occupants If indoors:

1. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and

hold on.

2. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an

earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you.

If outdoors: Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the

open, stay there until the shaking stops.

If in a moving vehicle:

Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from

buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility wires. Once the shaking has

stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have

been damaged by the quake.

After the quake



EIA/EMP REPORT


1. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.

2. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional

damage and may bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur

in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

Help injured or trapped persons.

1. Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons

unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.

take all necessary steps to stop the fire. If the fire is not controllable and

spreads then the manager in charge should inform the district authorities

and call for external help.

8. The Emergency Response Team will provide immediate relief to the injured occupants

at the scene of incident. Any injured persons should be evacuated on

priority to the dispensary or one of the nearest hospitals based on their

condition.

Instructions for occupants

1. Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible.

2. Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating, stay low to the ground.

3. If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases.

4. Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire.

5. If in a room with a closed door.

6. If smoke is pouring in around the bottom of the door or if it feels hot,

keep the door closed.

7. Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION

The project will lead to utilization of various natural resources. As an

environmentally responsible corporate, the developers endeavor to conserve

these resources by judicious management and recycling and strive to build up

these resources where possible.

Water Resources: The project had water from Private Water tanker during the

construction phase & from PHED during operation phase of the project. The

national water scenario, where availability if fresh water is fast dwindling,

judicious use of the same cannot be over emphasized. Following means are

proposed to be adopted for conservation of this life sustaining resource:



EIA/EMP REPORT


Reduced use of water: To further minimize the use of available freshwater,

various low flow fixtures may be provided such as Low flow flushing systems,

sensor based fixtures, waterless urinals, tap aerators. Awareness will also be

spread amongst the employees and employees on the following lines:

Timely detection and repair of all leakages;

Avoiding use of running water while hand-washing;

Watering of lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day

(early morning or late evening, hours) when temperature and

wind speed are lowest. This reduces losses due to evaporation.

Planting of native and/or drought tolerant grasses, ground covers,

shrubs and trees. Once fully grown, they need not to be watered

frequently.

Setting sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only, not the street or

sidewalk;

Avoiding installation or use of ornamental water features unless

they recycle the water and avoiding running them during drought

or hot weather;

Installation of high-pressure, low-volume nozzles on spray washers;

Replacement of high-volume hoses with high-pressure, low-volume

cleaning systems;

Equipping spring loaded shutoff nozzles on hoses. Treatment and Recycling: The wastewater generated from the site will be treated in an on-site

Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). This will enable the treated wastewater to be

used for flushing, landscaping etc., thereby reducing the requirement of

freshwater for these purposes.

Rainwater harvesting: It is proposed that rain water from the project will be

collected and conveyed to RWH pits though storm water drainage channel.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Construction material: The project has used various kinds of natural minerals

such as sand, gravel etc. It is proposed to do prior estimation of required

quantities of these materials and procurement only as per requirement. This

will also result in cost-efficiency. Excavated soil from the project site will be

used within the site to the extent feasible. Excess soil will be made available to

the nearby construction sites and surplus, if any, will be disposed through local

vendors.

Energy: To conserve the energy resources, good practices will be followed such

as turning off lights and equipments when not in use, ensuring fuel efficiency

of motors and vehicles through proper maintenance and minimal work at

night, efficient lighting system.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN

Incidents, accidents and contingency preparedness should be accounted during

ship recycling process. This will be a part of EMS. According to these

guidelines, an environmental emergency plan would essentially provide the

following information:

Assignment of the duties and responsibilities among the authorities,

participating

Agencies, the response team and coordinators and/or those

responsible for the pollution incident;

Relationship with other emergency plans;

A reporting system that ensures rapid notification in the event of a

pollution incident;

The establishment of a focal point for co-ordination and directions

connected to the implementation of the plan;

Response operations; should always cover these four phases:

– Discovery and alarm



EIA/EMP REPORT


– Evaluation, notification and plan invocation – Containment and countermeasures

– Cleanup and disposal

Identification of expertise and response resources available for

assistance for the implementation of the plan;

Directions on the necessary emergency provisions applicable to

the handling, treatment or disposal of certain pollutants;

Link to the local community for assistance, if necessary;

Support measures, such as procedures for providing public

information, carrying out surveillance, issuing post incident reports,

review and updating of the plan, and periodic exercising of the plan.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE:-

Various activities within the project site are always subjected to accidents

and incidents of many kind. Therefore, a survey of potential incidents and

accidents is to be carried out. Based on this, a plan for response to

incidents, injuries and emergencies should be prepared. Response to

emergencies should ensure that:

The exposure of workers should be limited as much as possible

during the operation

Contaminated areas should be cleaned and if necessary disinfected

Limited impact on the environment at the extent possible.

Written procedures for different types of emergencies should be prepared

and the entire workforce should be trained in emergency response. All

relevant emergency response

equipment should also be readily available. With regard to dangerous

spills, associated clean-up and fire-fighting operations should be carried



EIA/EMP REPORT


out by specially allocated and trained personnel.

Response team:

It is important to setup an Emergency Organization. A senior executive who

has control over the affairs of the plant would be heading the Emergency

Organization. He would be designated as Site Controller. Manager (Safety)

would be designated as the Incident Controller. In the case of stores, utilities,

open areas, which are not under the control of the Production Heads, Senior

Executive responsible for maintenance of utilities would be designated as

Incident Controller. All the Incident Controllers would be reporting to the

Site Controller.

Each Incident Controller organizes a team responsible for controlling the

incidence with the personnel under his control. Shift In-charge with be the

reporting officer, who with bring the incidence to the notice of the Incidence

Controller and Site Controller.

Emergency Coordinators with be appointed who with undertake the

responsibilities like fire fighting, rescue, rehabilitation, transport and

provide essential and support services. For this purposes, Security In-

charge, Personnel Department, Essential services personnel would be

engaged. All these personnel would be designated as Key personnel.

In each shift, electrical supervisor, electrical fitters, pump house in-

charge, and other maintenance staff would be drafted for emergency

operations. In the event of power or communication system failure, some

of staff members in the office/facility would be drafted and their services

would be utilized as messengers for quick passing of communications. All

these personnel would be declared as essential personnel.

RESPONSE TO INJURIES

Based on a survey of possible injuries, a procedure for response to

injuries or exposure to hazardous substances should be established. All

staff should have minimum training



EIA/EMP REPORT


to such response and the procedure ought to include the following:

Immediate first aid, such as eye splashing, cleansing of

wounds and skin, and bandaging

Immediate reporting to a responsible designated person

If possible, retention of the item and details of its source for

identification of possible hazards

Rapid additional medical care from medical personnel Medical surveillance

Recording of the incident

Investigation, determination and implementation of remedial action

It is vital that incident reporting is straightforward so that reporting is actually

carried out.

Emergency communication:

Whoever notices an emergency situation such as fire, growth of fire, leakage

etc. would inform his immediate superior and Emergency Control Center. The

person on duty in the Emergency Control Center, would appraise the Site

Controller. Site Controller verifies the situation from the Incident Controller of

that area or the Shift In-charge and takes a decision about an impending On

Site Emergency. This would be communicated to all the Incident Controllers,

Emergency Coordinators. Simultaneously, the emergency warning system

would be activated on the instructions of the Site Controller.

Emergency responsibilities

The responsibilities of the key personnel will be defined for the following:

Hierarchy of elements of mitigation plan

Figure 7.2: Elements of Mitigation

A good EIA practice requires technical understanding of relevant issues and measures that work

in such given circumstances. The priority of selection of mitigation measures

should be in the order:

Step One: Impact avoidance:

This step is most effective when applied at an early stage of project planning.

It can be achieved by:

not undertaking certain projects or elements that could result in

adverse impacts

avoiding areas that are environmentally sensitive; and



EIA/EMP REPORT


Step Two: Impact minimization

This step is usually taken during impact identification and prediction to limit

or reduce the degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts. It

can be achieved by:

scaling down or relocating the proposal

redesigning elements of the project

taking supplementary measures to manage the impacts

Step Three: Impact compensation:

This step is usually applied to remedy unavoidable residual adverse impacts.

It can be achieved by:

rehabilitation of the affected site or environment,

replacement of the same resource values at another location. For example, by

wetland engineering to provide an equivalent area to that lost to drainage or

infill.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT,

RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION

INTRODUCTION

Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) refers to the systematic

analysis of various social and economic characteristics of the human

beings living in the geographical area/study area around the project

location. SEIA is carried out separately but concurrently with



EIA/EMP REPORT


Environment Impact Assessment (EIA). The study area consists of core

and buffer area around the project site. The SEIA focuses on the likely

effects of the project on social and economic well-being of the community.

The impact(s) may be direct or indirect, positive or negative.

OBJECTIVES OF SEIA

The prime objective of the current study is to assess the likely impact of

the project on socio- economic characteristics of people living in the study

area. Further, it is to be established whether the impact would be direct or

indirect. Furthermore, it is to be examined whether the said impact would

be positive or negative. Lastly, it is to be comprehended if the impact is

positive how long it would sustain or if it is negative how soon the same

could be eased.

SCOPE


a) To collect baseline data of the study area

b) To comprehend socio-economic status of the people living in the study

area.

c) To assess the probable impact of the project on social and economic

aspects in the study area.

d) To evaluate the likely impact of the project on Quality of Life of the

people living in the study area.

e) To ensure sustainability of the positive impact.

f) To suggest mitigation measures and agency responsible for taking

action in case of adverse impact.



EIA/EMP REPORT


METHODOLOGY

For Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of the project, GRC India carries

out systematic analysis of the various socio-economic characteristics, both

in terms of quality and quantity. Accordingly, both qualitative and

quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The secondary

data was collected from the published data/information of the Census

Authority. Records of the state and district administration were also

referred to.

For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study

area. In each selected habitation, a specified number of representative

households were selected scientifically for collection of information

through face to face interview with head of the household or any

responsible member of the family.

Census-cum Sample Survey in the Core Area

As the likely project impact(s) will traverse a domino alley with greatest

impacts in the core area which diminish progressively when moving away

from the core to the buffer of the study area, a Census-cum-Sample

Survey was conducted in the core and buffer area for the collection of socio-

economic data. Further, in each village a household survey was

conducted by drawing representative samples from a list of households

prepared. Since, collection of information from all the households in a

village is time consuming and expensive, the sample survey approach

was adopted for collection of information from the selected households.

Sample Survey in the Core & Buffer Area

In the core & buffer areas of the project, the following structured



EIA/EMP REPORT


framework was followed for the collection of information.

Sample Design & Size


Units were Census villages and the Ultimate Stage Units were households in

the selected villages.

The sample size at each level (village and household) was decided by using

the formula = √

{(1.96 *σ)/Δ}; where = Sample size, 1.96 is the Table Value of

Confidence Limit, σ = Standard Deviation and Δ = Degree of Precision.

Selection of First Stage Units (Villages/Towns)

In the study area the sample villages were selected from the list of Census

villages/towns by adopting the method of Probability Proportional to Size

(PPS), the size being number of households in a given village/town.

Selection of Ultimate Stage Units (Households)

The sample households were selected from the list of households by adopting

the method of Circular Systematic Sampling. This method was adopted since

the sampling frame i.e. the complete list of households was readily available.

SURVEY INSTRUMENTS

The following Schedules/Questionnaires were developed for collection of data –

primary from the households and secondary for the villages:

Schedule/format for Village/Town Particulars

Questionnaire for Household Details and project perception

Each of these data/information instruments has segment blocks and there are

both open-ended and closed-ended questions.

CHRONOLOGY OF VARIOUS STEPS TO PREPARE THE SEIA

REPORT

INTRODUCTION

Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) refers to the systematic analysis of

various social and economic characteristics of the human beings living in the

geographical/study area around the proposed project location. SEIA is carried

out separately but concurrently with Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)

study. The SEIA focuses on the likely effects of the project on social and

economic well-being of the community. The impact(s) may be direct or indirect,

positive or negative. In this section of the EIA Report an attempt has been

made to assess the composite Socio-Economic Impact of the Group Housing

Project “Mojika Ultima” an area of 18547.40 Sq.m. is located at Plot No. Khasra



EIA/EMP REPORT


No.- 59 to 68, 69/213, 71 to 74, Village- Chak Sali Gram Pura, Tehsil- Sanganer

& District Jaipur, Rajasthan

OBJECTIVES OF SEIA

The prime objective of the current study is to assess the likely impact of the

project on socio-economic characteristics of people living in the study area.

Further, it is to be gauged whether the impact would be direct or indirect and

whether the said impact would be positive or negative. Lastly, it is to be

comprehended if the impact is negative and how the same could be mitigated.

SCOPE


a) Collection of baseline data of the study area.

B) Collation of data, analyses and generation of tables.

C) Comprehension of socio-economic status of the people living in the study area.

D) Identification and inventory of probable impacts of the project on social and

economic aspects in the study area.

E) Assessment of the probable impacts of the project on the people living in the

study area.

F) Facilitation of sustainability of positive impact by recommending community

development initiatives in the study area.

g) Suggestion of mitigation measures in case of adverse impact.

METHODOLOGY

For composite Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of projects, GRC India

carries out systematic analysis of the various socio-economic characteristics,

both in terms of quality and quantity. Accordingly, both qualitative and

quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The secondary data

was collected from the published data/information of the Census Authority.

Records of the state and district administration were also referred to.



EIA/EMP REPORT


For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study area

which spans a radius of 10 km from the periphery of the boundary of the project

site. In each selected habitation, a specified number of representative

households were selected for collection of information through face to face

interviews with head of the household or any responsible member of the family.

Census-cum-Sample Survey

To assess the likely impacts of the project, a Census-cum-Sample Survey was

conducted for the collection of socio-economic data. It is treated as a census

survey because all habitations located in the area were considered for the

collection of information. Further, in each habitation a household survey

was conducted by drawing representative sample of households. Since,

collection of information from all the households in a habitation is time

consuming and expensive, the sample survey approach was adopted for

collection of information from the selected households in the village(s)/town(s).

Sample Design


Units were Census village(s)/town(s) and the Ultimate Stage Units were

households in the selected village(s)/town(s).

METHOD OF SELECTION OF FIRST STAGE UNITS

Probability Proportional to size without replacement and vicinity to the

project site was taken into consideration while selecting the habitations from

the list of Census village(s)/town(s).

Method of selection of Ultimate Stage Units

The ultimate stage sampling unit is households. The households for survey are

selected by simple random sampling technique.

Sample Size

While deciding the sample size the following factors were taken into account:

Confidence Level (95%, Table value: 1.96); Degree of precision (Δ): 0.5;



EIA/EMP REPORT


Variation in population/ Standard Deviation

(σ); The sample size at each level (village and household) was decided by using the

formula n = √

{(1.96*σ)/Δ}; where n=Sample Size, 1.96 is the Table Value of Confidence Limit, σ

= Standard Deviation and Δ = Degree of Precision.

Survey Instruments

The following Schedules/Questionnaires were developed for collection of primary

data from the households and villages/towns:

Questionnaire/Schedule for Village/Town Particulars

QUESTIONNAIRE/SCHEDULE FOR HOUSEHOLD DETAILS AND

PROJECT PERCEPTION

Each of these data instruments has segment blocks and there are both

open-ended and closed- ended questions.

EIA/EMP REPORT


SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT

Impact on Demographic Composition

The proposed project will make some change in the demographic composition of

the study area as the estimated additional population of 7155 including staffs

and visitors will increase after the completion of the project. Whereas the work

force recruited during the construction and operation phase will be met locally

to the maximum extent. Local laborers from nearby area will be employed

during the construction phase. In the operation phase, most of the expected

occupants will be from the surrounding areas. Hence, the project will lead to a

redistribution of occupants within the city. Thus, no significant influx of people

is envisaged.

Employment Opportunities

Local labourers were hired and will be hired from nearby areas during

construction phase. It is a positive impact of the project since it will provide

employment opportunities to the local people. Similarly, in the operation phase

of the project, opportunities for employment will arise from the expected

business, trading etc. activities for the local people of the area.

Impetus to Trade & Business in Construction Materials

The proposed project will give much impetus to trade and business on

construction materials in the nearest market to the project area. It is expected

that trading and business will flourish of various construction materials namely

coarse sand, fine sand, stone aggregate, cement, reinforcement steel, pipes,

bricks, conduit pipes, glaze & floor tiles, hardware, stainless steel sinks, etc.

Impetus to Infrastructure Development

The project will pave the way for various infrastructure developments that



EIA/EMP REPORT


includes roads, parks, play grounds etc. This is a positive impact which will

create further employment opportunities for the local people.

Impact on Agriculture

There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking place

on the proposed area. The area is likely to be free from annual floods, which

destroy standing crops land and property.

Impact on Traffic Movement

The site has good connectivity. Only internal roads, paths will be developed for

vehicular movements for transportation of construction material during

construction phase whereas internal tracks and paths will be developed for

traffic circulation during operational phase. Since the site is adjacent to a

metaled Road, which has low traffic density, there will be no need for diversion

or closure of existing traffic routes. During the construction phase, about 15-20

trucks are estimated per week. Adequate parking space within the project site

for loading and unloading of materials will be provided.

Adequate parking space (1100 ECS) will be provided for operational phase within the project premises.

Impact on Law & Order

As most of the workers to be employed in the proposed project are local

residents so no law and order problem is envisaged. It is expected that the

workers will attend to their duties from their residence and return to their

homes after the day‟s work. However, to meet any untoward incident one police

post may be set up close to the project site.

Impact on Health

There are no chances of any major diseases due to the construction work.

Suitable drainage and waste management measures (with frequent spray of



EIA/EMP REPORT


insecticides etc.) will be adopted in both the construction and operational phase

such that there will be no stagnation of water or accumulation of waste. This

will effectively restrict the reproduction and growth of disease vectors.

However, to meet any emergency situation few safety measures are outlined

below:

a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure health and

safety of all the employees at work. All efforts will be made to provide and

maintain a safe working environment and ensure that the machinery and

equipment in use is safe for employees. Further, it will be ensured that

working arrangements are not hazardous to employees.

B) Provision of first aid: In case of any accidents arising out of the proposed

construction works, timely and prompt first aid treatment is the most

important aspect. Suitable first aid arrangements shall be made at the site

for rendering immediate first aid in case of any injury. The first-aiders will

be well trained in handling patients working in the project.

C) Regular Medical Examination: For all the construction workers, medical

examination will be made on regular basis.

D) Health education: Adequate health education and information related to the

work will be provided to the workers so that their health and safety can be

ensured.

E) Tie-up with the nearest hospital for medical assistance: to meet the medical

needs of the construction workers in case of accidents, tie-up with nearest

hospitals will be made. Efforts will be made to reserve a few beds in the said

hospitals for the workers to meet any emergency. This will ensure timely

medical aid to the affected persons.

F) Supply of mask and gloves: the workers exposed to dust will be provided

with dust masks to prevent them from getting affected by respiratory

diseases. Gloves will be provided to workers working with hand tools, to

ensure their safety. Small quantities of fugitive emissions are envisaged



EIA/EMP REPORT


during transport and handling of construction materials. Such emissions

will be temporary and controlled by the use of water sprinkling and other

viable techniques like covering of loose material with tarpaulin.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to responsibility of a company to

ensure positive impact on environment, consumers, employees, communities,

stakeholders and all other members of public sphere. CSR is a way of

conducting business by which the corporate entities visibly contribute to the

social good. The CSR activities are increasingly being taken up by the project

proponents not only as fulfilling of mandatory provisions but also for the

formation or enhancement of brand image. Besides the above, CSR is seen more

as a responsibility towards society rather than a business promotional activity.

It is the need of the day for expansion of occupational welfare. It is expected

that this will improve the socio-economic status of the people and at the same

time the popularity of the project

proponent will enhance. The activities to be undertaken for the local people

under CSR have been identified. For the local community in the study area the

project proponent should take-up the following development initiatives for the

betterment of the local people:

1. Skill Development and Women Empowerment

Skill development programme for students and unemployed on

employability.

Providing training to the women for improving employability skills

and enhancing their self-dependency.

2. Infrastructure development

Renovation of government schools in the study area.

Sanitation facilities including construction of girl‟s toilet in schools.

3. Improvement of Health Status



EIA/EMP REPORT


Health Checkups and medical camps.

Heath awareness workshops/programmes.

3. WORKSHOPS ON ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS / MANAGEMENT

PROGRAMMES

The activities to be undertaken for the local people under CSR have been

identified.

CONCLUSION

The socio-economic standard of people living in the study area will improve due

to the creation of employment opportunities. This will lead to better quality of

life and will also set a standard for future development in the study area.

There will be a positive impact on the socio-economic condition of the study area

due to increased economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities,

infrastructural development and better educational and health facilities.

With the development of the project, associated business activities will increase

in the area. The overall impact of the project is expected to be positive for the

local population.

CHAPTER-8

PROJECT BENEFITS

GENERAL

The project is Located at Khasra No.- 59 to 68, 69/213, 71 to 74, Village-

Chak Sali Gram Pura, Tehsil- Sanganer & District Jaipur, Rajasthan and

Rajasthan. Jaipur Development Authority has allotted land for

development of Group Housing Project on a land measuring 18547.40 m2 .

The site falls in the Jaipur district of State Rajasthan, which is one of the

fastest growing Residential destinations in India. The nearest Railway

Station is Khatipura Railway Station (5.5 km, N) away from the project

site. The nearest airport is Jaipur Airport, at 9 km, NW from the project

site.

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Covering an area of 342,239 sq km, Rajasthan is the largest state in

India.

Rajasthan has well-developed social, physical and industrial

infrastructure as well as good virtual connectivity. The state is

developing sector-specific infrastructure such as special purpose

industrial parks and special economic zones for exports of handicrafts,

IT and electronic goods.

As of March 2010, over US$ 12.2 billion of investments have been

made towards improving Rajasthan‟s infrastructure.

Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) was

undertaken by the Government of Rajasthan (GoR) with the financial

assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB), in order to provide

quality infrastructural facilities in 6 divisional headquarters of



EIA/EMP REPORT


Rajasthan, which was later on further extended to 15 more towns.

As per Budget 2016-17, a total of 37 towns are expected to be benefited

from of RUIDP project for various sewerages, drainages, etc. The total

cost allocated for this projects during 2016-17 is US$ 641.61 million.

For the development of housing and urban development sector in the

state, the state government proposed an allocation of US$ 1.14 billion

during 2016-17.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Achieving land potential in a rational and judicious manner is one of

the prime objectives of this residential development. This will be done

by minimizing the impact on environmental resources, enhancing the

infrastructure quality to allow uninhibited freedom for human

resource development and provide gainful economic opportunities for

employment. Urban environment on sustainable lines will be

developed, by harnessing the existing environmental resources,

adopting state of the art technologies to minimize waste generation

(through recycling) and dependency on motorized modes of

transportation.

This part of the district of Jaipur is slowly experiencing new and an

upgraded emerging trend in terms of improvement in infrastructure,

new roads development etc. with a real urgency of new area

development. As the area will achieve good connectivity through the

sector level road development by RDA. The project has led to

following benefits.

Improvement in social infrastructure by providing additional

employment opportunities to the skilled as well as unskilled



EIA/EMP REPORT


people;

Triggered growth in the district and in the region as the area

developed will result in associated development;

The planned development with modern infrastructure facilities

and source of income would improve quality of life of local

community.

HEALTH & SAFETY

The project will entail positive impact on local economy.

The construction phase of the project engaged a large number of

construction workers. The workers were provided with drinking water,

sheds for resting, medical aid, crèche, etc. as per norms.



EIA/EMP REPORT


CHAPTER-9

ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFITS ANALYSIS

Proper evaluation of the environmental impacts requires a number of

conceptual issues to be carefully considered. These include the correct

understanding of the environmental cost, choice of evaluation technique,

setting the time horizon, assessing distributional impacts and inter-

temporal issues and evaluating risks. Environmental externalities costs

from a productive or consumptive process can be identified as the cost

resulting from the provision of a resource, which can be passed on to a

third party. These costs are not incorporated into the price of the

productive or consumptive resource, and can cause damage to human

health, human life, materials and ecosystems. Environmental externality

costs can occur despite complying with all national rules and regulations.

Therefore, meeting environmental standards does not mean that there is

no unaccounted environmental cost. The cost of compliance is likely to be

included as part of the base cost- hence is treated as a financial cost.

At this early stage of the project, it will not be possible to give exact

benefited amount. However government designated this place for

residential project after considering many aspects including environment

cost benefit too. However, in case of an environment it will be very difficult

to give proper cost evaluation. Thus from environment point of view,

components that might be evaluated in terms of cost will be:-

Socio Economic

Human health

Air

Land

Water



EIA/EMP REPORT


Out of the five components that have been mentioned, human health is the

most important, however it is the hardest to quantify. This value is also

controversial as it is often confused with values of human life, not risks to

human life. Valuation of human life is controversial because for some, it is

unethical. During this study, it has been noted that the valuation of

human life is different from the value of human health risks, and the latter

should be estimated. Human health is directly related with our

environment i.e. surroundings in which we live. Surrounding includes

everything, air, water & land etc. Pollution of air, water and land directly

and indirectly causes health issues. Example contamination of ground

water, surface water causes many issues and in the situation when we

have nonrenewable resources, it will more important to prevent excess use

and contamination of these resources.

As all the storm water will be collected through RWH pits it will reduce

the loss due to evaporation and hopefully help to sustain the water in for

greater duration of time, this even recharges ground water in natural way.

Green belt development in the area increases the aesthetic value of the

area, along with this help to attenuate noise and reduce pollution.

Socioeconomic conditions of the area will improve due to direct and indirect

employment opportunities in the chain.

9.2 CONCLUSION

Taking the above mentioned points into consideration, it can be concluded

that the socio- economic and environmental impact of the project would be

beneficial/neutral.



EIA/EMP REPORT


CHAPTER-10

ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFITS ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure that the

environmental quality of the zone under impact does not deteriorate beyond the

expected level due to the construction and operation of the project. The EMP

comprises a set of measures to be taken in different phases of the project such

as construction and operation to reduce adverse environmental impacts to an

acceptable level. Mitigation plans generally evolve around remediation and

offsetting.

Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest the mitigation

measures which would play a vital role in prevention of environmental

degradation during construction and operational phase of the Residential

Project. This leads to preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

Environmental Management Plan therefore forms an imperative part of EIA

process.

Preparation of Environmental Management Plan is required for formulation,

implementation and monitoring of Environmental protection measures during

and after commissioning of projects. The Environmental Management plan is a

site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an

environmentally sustainable manner where all contractors and subcontractors,

including consultants if any, understand the potential environmental risks

arising from the project and take appropriate actions to minimize those risks.

EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance

with the planned design and by taking appropriate mitigation actions to reduce

adverse environmental impacts during project‟s life cycle.



EIA/EMP REPORT


The aims of EMP are:

Overall conservation of environment.

Minimization of waste generation and pollution.

Judicious use of natural resources and water.

Safety, welfare and good health of the work force.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures. Vigilance against probable disasters and accidents.

Monitoring of cumulative and long time impacts.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

The project will create certain inevitable impacts, during construction and

operational phase, although within permissible limits as mentioned in Chapter

4 and can be reduced significantly with the help of effective implementation of a

well-designed EMP. The parameters which need to be regulated are mentioned

below:

Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter and gaseous

pollutants from operation of DG sets during power failure and

vehicular movement;

Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment as well as

vehicular movement;

Water resource management to ensure continuous water supply.

Wastewater generation from industries, sanitary/domestic activities;

and

Generation of solid wastes from Offices, maintenance of roads,

parks, common areas including constructional, electrical and

plumbing wastes.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Energy conservation methods

Maintenance of Building Management Systems and emergency aids.

To ensure better environment in & around the project site, effective EMP is

developed separately for construction and operational phase.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PROPOSED PROJECT

The project proponent to manage the key environmental issues associated with

the construction and operation of the project will initiate the Environment

Management Plan for the project activities envisage to outlines the key

environmental management and safeguards that. The major concerns for the

EMP of the proposed project activities would be:

Delineation of mitigation and compensation measures for all the identified

significant impacts.

Delineation of unmitigated impacts

Physical planning including work programme, time schedule and

locations for putting mitigation and compensation system in place.

EMP is the process to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated

into the project scope. These are tools for mitigating or offsetting the potential

adverse environmental impacts resulting from various activities of the project.

The EMP would, therefore, consists of following main components:

To integrate potential impacts (positive or negative), environmental

mitigation measures implementation schedule, and monitoring plans.

To describe the potential environmental impacts and proposed

management associated with each stage of the project development.

To control environmental impacts to levels within acceptable standards,

and to minimize possible impact on the community and the workforce of

foreseeable risks during the construction and subsequent operational

phases of the project.



EIA/EMP REPORT


To highlight that the environmental mitigation measures will be used in

consonance with good management practices and good engineering

design, construction and operation practices.

The EMP would, hence, be a working document that concerned stakeholders

need to both understand environmental concerns and to address associated

issues to facilitate environmental management.

EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT

To minimize the pollutant concentration levels, mitigation measures primarily

to minimize the use of private vehicles would be implemented for further

emission reduction as presented in this section. It is, therefore, assumed that if

these measures were implemented, the concentrations of all pollutants as

presented above will be much lower in value and would contribute very less

impact on the project site and at the receptor locations as well.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Site Preparation

Environmental impacts during construction phase was mainly aroused

due to civil works such as site preparation, RCC foundation, construction

etc., material and machinery transportation, fabrication and erection etc.

The construction phase impacts are temporary and localized phenomena

except the permanent change in local landscape and land use pattern at

the project

site. However, they require due consideration with importance during

project execution and also wherever applicable detailed procedures shall

be implemented to prevent/mitigate adverse impacts and occupational

hazards.

To mitigate the impact of dust during the construction phase of the

proposed project, the following measures are recommended for



EIA/EMP REPORT


implementation:

A dust control plan; and

Procedural changes to construction activities.

Dust Control Plan

Appropriate measures have been recommended and were implemented

to mitigate the adverse impacts of dust on health of construction workers

and the settlements around the site. The following measures have been

recommended:

Paving: The major access roads to the site were paved as a

part of the overall development plan. The material storage

areas were also paved for dust control.

Graveling: Locally found gravel was applied to the other

access roads to serve as a protective layer over the exposed

soil.

Water Sprinkling: Water sprinkling was carried out for the

surfaces exposed to high wind speeds or heavy vehicular

movement.

Reducing Vehicle Speed: High vehicle speeds increase the

amount of fugitive dust created from unpaved areas. Speed

bumps provided to ensure speed reduction on unpaved areas.

Material Storage: All material storage areas were adequately

covered and contained so that they are not exposed to high wind

speeds on site leading to dust/particulate emissions. Fabrics and

plastics were used for covering soils and debris to reduce fugitive

dust emissions.

Procedural Changes to Construction Activities



EIA/EMP REPORT


Production and Transportation of Material - The transport of materials

such as concrete and asphalt to the construction sites generate significant

amount of road dust, especially for sites that are relatively far from

material manufacturers. Setting up temporary portable concrete plants

and/or asphalt plants at construction sites can eliminate haulage of

materials.

Idling Time Reduction - Construction equipment is commonly left idling

while the operators are on break or waiting for the completion of another

task. Emissions from idling equipment tend to be high, since catalytic

converters cool down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and

carbon monoxide oxidation. Existing idling control technologies, which

automatically shut the engine off after a preset time can reduce emissions,

without intervention from the operators.

Improved Maintenance - Recognizing that significant emission reductions

can be achieved through regular equipment maintenance, contractors were

asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet as part of the contract

bid and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract.

To mitigate the impacts of DG set operation it will ensure that the DG set

would have sufficient stack height to disperse the pollutants.

10.2.1.1 Noise Environment

To mitigate the impact of noise from the construction equipment‟s on site,

the following measures are recommended for implementation:

Time of Operation: Minimum construction activities were scheduled

during night time. Material transport was strictly limited to daytime

hours to ensure minimum incremental noise during night hours.

Job Rotation: Workers employed in high noise areas were engaged in shifts to

minimize exposure.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Protective Equipment‟s: Earplugs/muffs or other hearing protective wear

was provided to those working very close to the noise generating

machinery.

Vibration Control: For vibration control, damped tools were used and the

working hours were limited. To mitigate the impacts of noise generation due

to DG sets, it will be ensured that DG set is enclosed in acoustic enclosure and

has adequate stack height so as to disperse the emissions.

10.2.1.1 Construction Material Management

The major construction material was used for construction includes

bricks, coarse aggregates, cement, coarse sand, reinforcement steel,

structural steel, aluminium doors & windows, granite and vitrified tiles

for flooring and other water supply & sanitary fittings. The material was

loaded and unloaded by the engaged labour on site. The duties of the

contractor will include monitoring all aspects of construction activities,

commencing with the storing, loading of construction materials and

equipment in order to maintain the quality.

The work should be completed as per the final construction schedule.

Bricks were stacked neatly at designated place of storage yard. Cement

should be stored in stacks. Other material like aggregate, reinforcement

and consumables should also be tidily stored in place and was released

for use without causing litter around.

The contractor shall be responsible for management of such construction

material during entire construction period of the project. Sufficient

quantity of materials should be available before starting the each

activity.

The contractor should test the all the materials in the Government labs



EIA/EMP REPORT


or Government approved labs in order to ensure the quality of materials

before construction. This is also the responsibility of the contractor,

which would be clearly mentioned in the contractor‟s agreement.

As soon as the construction activity is over the surplus earth shall be

utilized to fill up the low- lying areas, if any. All stationary machines shall

be inspected weekly for maintenance and will be fitted with exhaust

pollution control devices.

OPERATION PHASE

To mitigate the impact of pollutants from vehicular traffic during the

operational phase of the site; the following measures are recommended

for implementation:

Vehicle emission controls and alternatives; and Greenbelt development.

Vehicle Emission Controls and Alternatives

Parking Provision: Adequate parking space of 378 ECS have been made

within the project site.

Proper Road Network: A proper road network shall be constructed within the

site boundary for approach to various equipment/ installations in the site.

Footpaths, and Pedestrian Ways - Adequate footpaths, and pedestrian

ways shall be provided at the site to encourage non-polluting methods of

transportation.

Greenbelt Development:

Increasing vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred

methods to mitigate air pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants,

act as a barrier to break the wind speed as well as allow the dust and

other particulates to settle out there. It also helps to reduce the noise

level to some extent. Hence, the project so developed that approximately



EIA/EMP REPORT


33 % (6120.64 Sq. m) of the proposed planned area is designated for

exclusive green area/landscaping. The trees for green belt development

that are proposed to be grown as barrier to Air pollution are given in

Table 10.1.

Air Pollution Attenuation Dust Barriers

Ficus glomerata (Guler) Peltophorum pterocarpum (Copper Pod) Polyalthia longifolia (Ashok) Nerium odorata (Kaner)

Table 10.1 Plantation can be used as barrier for Air Pollution

EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

During the construction phase, there was a temporary increase in

ambient noise levels due to construction machinery operation and

movement of construction vehicles. Though the industrial countries have

specified limits for occupational noise exposure, the permissible noise

exposure limit for industrial workers is primarily concerned with

harmful effects of noise and its objective is to protect the hearing of

working people. The American Conference on

Government of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), USA, has prescribed the

following permissible noise exposure limits for industrial workers as given

in Table 10.2.

Exposure to continuous and intermittent noise levels louder than 115 dB

(A) should not be permitted. Following mitigation / management

measures shall be adopted during construction period:

For protection of construction workers, earplugs were provided to

those workers who were working very close to noise generation

source.

Servicing of all construction vehicles and machinery was done

regularly and during routine servicing operations, the effectiveness of

exhaust silencers were checked and Vehicles hired for bringing

construction materials at sight shall conform to the noise emission

standards and were operated during non-peak hours.

Workers employed in high noise areas were rotated. Earplugs/muffs,

or other hearing protective wear was provided to those working very

close to the noise generating machinery.

Smooth flow of traffic should be ensured on the internal road to avoid

idling and honking of vehicles.

Ambient Noise level monitoring was conducted at suitable locations

at periodic intervals during construction phase to conform to the

stipulated standards both during day and night time. Data were

reviewed and analysed by the project manager for adhering to any

strict measure.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Noise levels were also monitored at point sources for occupational

noise exposure and ensuring health risk.

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impact of noise due to vehicular movement during the

operational and proper traffic management is also proposed to be

implemented.

EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water source,

adequate control measures had been proposed to check the surface run-off,

as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body. Following

management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during

the construction phase. - Avoid excavation during monsoon season.

- Care should be taken to avoid soil erosion.

- Pit latrines and community toilets with temporary septic tanks were

constructed on the site during construction phase to prevent

wastewater from entering the water bodies.

- To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak

proof containers should be used for storage and transportation of

oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area should be kept

effectively impervious. Any wash off from the oil/grease handling area

or workshop shall be drained through impervious drains, Clarifiers or

oil/water separators shall be constructed and effluent should be treated

appropriately before releasing it.

- Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, fertilizer,

oils and other wastes. On-site collection and settling of storm water,

prohibition of equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic



EIA/EMP REPORT


releases from the construction site are necessary to minimize water pollution.

- All stacking and loading areas was provided with proper garland drains

equipped with baffles to prevent run off from the site to enter any water

body.

OPERATION PHASE

In the operation phase of the project, water conservation and development

measures need to be taken including all possible potential for conservation

of water, reuse, harvesting and recycling of water. These could be in the

form of the following:

- Water source Development

- Minimizing water consumption

- Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed loop

systems for different water streams.

Water Source Development

Water source development shall be practiced by installation of

scientifically design Rainwater harvesting system as described in Chapter

2.

10.4.2.1 Rainwater Harvesting Design

Rainwater harvesting promotes self-sufficiency and fosters an appreciation

for water as a resource. It is proposed to have recharge structures at 2

locations within the proposed project site.

In order to calculate the potential for Artificial Recharge, rainfall intensity

of 40 mm per hour has been considered for Jaipur. The run-off coefficient

parameters considered for calculation of the run-off are given in Table

10.3.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Table 10.3 Run-Off Coefficient Parameters

S. No. Type of Surface Runoff

Coefficient

1. Roof Top 0.8

2. Landscape Area 0.1

However, for the purpose of design of recharge structure, the higher value

of runoff coefficient is being considered in view of unpredictable nature of

rainfall for arriving at total storage volumes.

In the project design, it was ensured that no mixing of the storm water

with waste effluent takes place. All the storm water will be diverted to

rain water-harvesting pits proposed in the project.

Minimizing Water Consumption

Water consumption will be minimized by a combination of water saving

devices such as implementing fixtures that are low flow and water

efficient models together with other water conservation measures.

Furthermore, to ensure ongoing water conservation, an employee

education and awareness programme will be introduced for the

employees of the proposed project. Following section discusses the

specific measures, which shall be implemented;

DOMESTIC USAGE

- Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (low flow toilets and urinals).

Water efficient plumbing fixtures use less water with no marked

reduction in quality and service.

- Leak detection and repair techniques.

- Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down for

external areas;



EIA/EMP REPORT


- Meter water usage, employ measurement & verification methods.

Monitoring water use is a precursor for management.

- Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and

technologies that can be used for water conservation.

HORTICULTURE

- Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common

zones to match precipitation heads and emitters.

- Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.

- Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture

sensors to account for seasonal variations, and calibrate them during

commissioning.

- Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and

fertilizer sparingly also reduces watering needs.

- Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.

Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment

To promote reuse and development of closed loop system for water,

segregation of two schemes are proposed namely:

(i) Wastewater Treatment scheme

(ii) Storm water management scheme

WASTEWATER TREATMENT SCHEME

Wastewater Treatment Scheme will consist of:

- Wastewater collection & conveyance system.

- Wastewater treatment & disposal arrangement.

Wastewater collection and conveyance system shall be an underground

sewer network that the total wastewater generated from the proposed



EIA/EMP REPORT


project will be treated in Existing STP.

Storm Water Management:

Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground

water recharge, thus proper management of this resource is must to

ensure that it is free of contamination. Contamination of storm water is

possible from the following sources:

Diesel and oil spills in the Diesel Power Generator and fuel

storage area

Waste spills in the Solid/ hazardous waste storage area

Oil spills and leaks in vehicle parking lots

Silt from soil erosion in gardens

Spillage of sludge from sludge drying area of sewage treatment

plan.

A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will

consider the above sources. The plan will incorporate best management

practices which will include following:

Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.

Cover waste storage areas.

Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.

Secondary containment and dykes in fuel/oil storage facilities.

Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness. Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil

storage areas.

Provision of slit traps in storm water drains.

Good housekeeping in the above areas.



EIA/EMP REPORT


EMP FOR LAND

ENVIRONMENT

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris,

biomass from land clearing activities, waste from the labour camp, and.

hazardous waste. Following section discusses management of each type

of waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important area for which

management measures are required.

Construction Debris

Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling

is an important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete

and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of

this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced

landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for new

construction activity. This is particularly applicable to the proposed

project site as the construction is to be completed in a phased manner.

Recycled aggregate was used for filler application, and as a sub-base for

road construction. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, was not used

as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will be given

to recyclers.

Construction contractors removed metal scrap from structural steel,

piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work from the site. A

significant portion of wood scrap can be reused on site. Recyclable

wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc were sold to

recyclers.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Waste from Labour Colonies

Waste generated from labour camps was mainly comprise of household

domestic waste, which was collected and composted on site along with

the biomass from the land clearing

activities. The non-compostable and non-recyclable portion of the

waste shall be collected and transported to the nearest solid waste

dumping site.

Topsoil Management

To minimise disruption of soil and for conservation of topsoil, the

contractor had taken the topsoil out separately and stockpile it. After

the construction activity is over, topsoil shall be utilised for

landscaping activity. Other measures, which would be followed to

prevent soil erosion and contamination include:

- Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt

development.

- To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers was

used for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the

oil/grease handling area was drained through impervious drains and

treated appropriately before disposal.

- Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development,

and re-vegetation of bare areas after the project.

- Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).

- Construction of erosion prevention troughs.

OPERATIONAL PHASE


The philosophy of solid waste management at the proposed project will



EIA/EMP REPORT


be to encourage the four R‟s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse,

recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). This will result in lesser

reliance on land filling. Regular public awareness meetings will be

conducted to involve the employees in the proper segregation, storage,

recycling and composting options and techniques.

The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste will focus on

two major components during the life cycle of the waste management

system i.e. collection & transportation, treatment or disposal

Collection and Transportation

During the collection stage, the bio-degradable and non-recyclable/non-

biodegradable waste will be stored and collected separately. The

segregation, transportation and disposal of wastes will be done by the

project management or may be outsourced to authorized private waste

management agency.

To minimize littering and odor, waste will be stored in well-designed

containers/bins that will be located at strategic locations to minimize

disturbance in traffic flow.

Care should be taken so that the collection vehicles are well

maintained and minimize noise and emissions. During transporting of

the waste, it will be covered to avoid littering.

Treatment & Disposal

The waste collected shall be segregated at site into bio-degradable and

non-biodegradable. The non- biodegradable waste shall be disposed off

through recyclers / and inert shall be disposed off to local waste

disposal site. The biodegradable shall be treated on-site. The hazardous

waste (used oil from DG Sets) will be stored in HDPE drums in isolated



EIA/EMP REPORT


covered facility and disposed off through registered recycles only as per

the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Trans Boundary

Movement) Rules, 2016

EMP FOR E-WASTE MANAGEMENT

The e-waste will be generated from the proposed development which will

be stored at a warehouse to be setup within site and will be sent to

authorized recyclers or e-waste processing plants for treatment as per E-

Waste [Management & Handling] Rules, 2016.


Development and construction phase

During the construction and post construction phase, no tree will be cut and

therefore no impact is anticipated on terrestrial ecology. Site clearing shall be

carried out strictly as per plan. Workers shall be advised against cutting,

uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees present in and around the project

site for cooking. Workers shall also be discouraged from wandering in nearby

areas with plantation or dense vegetation.

Further, green belt will be developed on the periphery and along the internal

roads of site during the construction phase itself that will act as a curtain to

restrict the movement of pollutants from either side of the project and

improve site aesthetics.

Post construction phase

During the post construction phase, green belt will be developed and

maintained. Ornamental plant species and grasses will be planted in open

space within the premises 3.5 acres of area is proposed to be maintained green

in the project site.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Plantation Design

The pattern of plantation around the Industrial Estate is discussed under

curtain, avenue, field and ornamental plantations.

A. Curtain Plantation

The curtain plantation is developed all around the industrial estate. The plants

would be of tall trees and small trees with mono-axial habit and shrubs. The

plants in curtain plantation should be planted at a distance of 2.5 m in between

them and between the rows. The large trees are spaced at large distance with

small trees and shrubs in between them to form a dense green curtain around

the complex. The following species may be planted from outside to inside of the

curtain belt:

Bargad- Ficus benghalensis

Pipal- Ficus religiosa

Mango- Mangifera indica

Gulmohar- Delonix regia

B. Avenue Plantation

To combine aesthetic beauty and pollution abatement needs, two parallel

rows of trees (inner and outer row) would be planted on the either side of

the roads. The tree species for the purpose, as given below, shall be planted

1.5 m apart.

Alstonia scholaria (Chitwan)

Legerstroemia flos-reginae (Sawani)

Saraca indica (Ashok)

Nerium odorum (Kaner)



EIA/EMP REPORT


C. Field Plantation

Plantation on open stretches of land helps to improve the general ecological

conditions of the habitat by adding greenery to the landscape and by

providing a vast canopy of foliage for sinking of pollutants generated in the

area. The vacant area around the terminal will be developed as woodland.

The area thus developed will provide a perennial biological system for

pollution abatement. The plant species to be used as a community of mixed

species, at a spacing 2 m apart.

D. Ornamental Plantation

The available area, according to the demand would be used for planning

lawns, hedges, flowering trees and shrubs and seasonal flowers. In some

strategic corners flowering climbers will be used to create the visual effect.

The following species will be used:

1) Foliage and

for developing into a flowering green screen.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

The project was designed in such a way that natural light and air will be

enhanced by using energy efficient through use of low energy consuming

fixtures. Energy conservation will be achieved through various means as given

below.

Site Plan and building design:

Maximum utilization of solar light will be done

Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air-

conditioning

Maximize the use of natural lighting through design

The orientation of the buildings will be done in such a way that maximum

daylight is available



EIA/EMP REPORT


The water bodies and green areas will be spaced, so that a significant

reduction in the temperature can take place.

Energy saving:

Energy efficient lamps will be provided within the complex.

Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for

energy conservation

Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy

used for desired comfort levels.

Use of solar energy will save lot of non-renewable energy.

Awareness:

opportunities.

MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

Management and maintenance system is an important issue for the project.

During construction phase, Project proponent will take care off implementation

of environmental management plan for the Residential project. They will review

the effectiveness of implemented mitigation measures adopted by contractors

and sub-contractors from time to time. The office spaces will be provided with

water sprinklers and fire alarms and there will be provision of adequate

number of fire extinguishers. Back up service will be provided for all emergency

equipments and machineries.

a. Reporting: For effective implementation of any system/ plan, a systematic

reporting system is essential. An Environmental Management Cell shall

be set up for implementation of the Management Plan. Reporting of the

results of all the management and monitoring plan was submitted to the

designated Project Head. The reports were reviewed and



EIA/EMP REPORT


parameters exceeding their limits were identified and the reason for the

same investigated. Any requisite mitigation plan was taken up

accordingly.

The Environment Management Cell was permanent organizational set up

charged with the task of ensuring its effective implementation of mitigation

measures and conduct environmental monitoring. The major duties and

responsibilities of Environmental Management Cell were as given below:

To implement the environmental management plan

To assure regulatory compliance with all relevant rules and

regulations

To ensure regular operation and maintenance of pollution control

devices

To minimize environmental impact of operations as by strict

adherence to the EMP

Project Head.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Awareness and Training

Training and human resource development is an important link to achieve

sustainable operation of the facility and environment management. For

successful functioning of the project, relevant EMP were also communicated to

occupants and contractors.

Employees are made to aware of the importance of waste segregation and

disposal, water and energy conservation. The awareness was provided by

periodic integrated meetings in office areas. They were informed of their duties.

Environmental Audits and Corrective Action Plans

To assess whether the implemented EMP is adequate, periodic environmental

audits was conducted by the project proponent‟s Environmental division. These

audits were followed by Correction Action Plan (CAP) to correct various issues

identified during the audits.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

Monthly monitoring of Ambient Air and Water will be conducted. Soil and noise

monitoring will be conducted once in season. There will be no monitoring during

monsoon season as it is assumed that pollutants will be settled during monsoon,

however online monitoring of meteorological data will be conducted at the site.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE STUDY AREA

The baseline environmental status was assessed based on primary and

secondary data collected either through in-site field observation or obtained

from agencies such as Irrigation Department, India Meteorological

Department (IMD), Central Ground Water Board, Geological Survey of India,

State Ground Water Department, State Pollution Control Board, Census of

India and Local Forest Department, Non -Governmental Agencies. The

baseline status established from analysis of secondary and primary data and

predicted impacts are discussed below.

Land Environment

The land use pattern of the study area (10 km) is mainly residential,



EIA/EMP REPORT


agricultural and open scrub, open land, forest and vegetation.

The construction phase of any construction project poses the threat of soil

contamination and soil erosion, mainly during the construction phase.

Inadequate solid waste management & waste from industries may also cause

soil contamination during operation phase. The estimated waste generation

during operation phase will be 265 kg/day.

During construction phase, excavation related work was avoided during the

monsoons and site clearing carried out for specific areas developed. All

wastes from site will be regularly removed and disposed/sold. An efficient

solid waste management is proposed comprising waste collection, segregation

at sold waste management facility within the site, and their disposal. Solid

waste will be disposed by sale of recyclable wastes to vendors, composting of

bio-degradable wastes, transportation of inert waste to local dump site.

Water environment

The water requirement during construction phase met from treated water

from Private Water Tankers

During operation phase, source of water will be PHED.

A combination of efficient water management to reduce water consumption,

reuse of treated wastewater to reduce freshwater demand and rainwater

harvesting to replenish groundwater is proposed to have a positive bearing on

the water environment of the region.

Air Environment

During construction phase, the major air pollutant of prime concern was

PM2.5, PM10 as impacts of other emissions such as SO2, NO2, and CO was not

be significant because the nature of sources is such that the emissions are

distributed spatially as well as temporal. The levels of PM2.5, PM10, are



EIA/EMP REPORT


higher than the standards prescribed by NAAQS at all stations due to nearby

construction activity and traffic. Thus dust emissions from construction

activities required comprehensive mitigation measures and best construction

practices.

Adequate stack heights was proposed for D.G. Sets above the ground to

provide for sufficient dispersion of pollutants. Water sprinklers have been

used to suppress dust during construction. During the operation phase, green

belt and green area development is proposed to restrict and absorb air

pollutants.

Noise Environment

Noise levels were observed at five locations within the study area. Levels of

background noise monitored in exceed the limits at 55 dB (A) a

nd 45dB (A) for daytime and night time respectively.

The noise emitted from heavy-duty construction equipments during

construction period was provided with occupational preventive measures and

temporary noise barriers for noise attenuation.

In the operation phase, noise pollution will be checked through acoustic

enclosures of DG Sets and green belt plantation. It will be the responsibility

of the Project proponent to provide suitable noise control measures (noise

control barriers/acoustic enclosures) within the Project site.

Biological environment

There is no protected area, reserved forest or sanctuary in the study area.

The proposed landscaping will include native species that will attract local

birds, reduce pollution and improve aesthetics and micro-climate of the

region.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Socio-economic environment

The population of the project is approx. 909 which include staff and visitors.

The study area has access to adequate transportation facilities. Please refer

EMP for details.

Energy efficiency

Power requirement during operation phase will be met by Jaipur Vidhyut

Vitran Nigam limited. which is approx. 6000 KVA. Various provisions are

made to reduce the energy efficiency of the building such as use of solar

energy, provision of low energy fixtures, design features to maximise sunlight

and use of materials to improve energy efficiency.

Other

Resource Conservation: A concerted effort is made towards resource

conservation by way of using recycled building materials, fly-ash bricks,

reduced water consumption and improving energy efficiency of the building.

Indoor Air Quality: Special attention will be given to maintaining indoor air

quality through use of low VOC paints, provision of adequate ventilation,

proper storage of chemical and cleaning materials.

Safety: A network of manned security gates, security men, closed circuit TV

and intercom facilities are proposed to ensure safety of the occupant. The

buildings will also be provided with adequate fire tenders, fire alarms and

water sprinklers.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Adequate environmental management measures was incorporated during the

entire planning and operating stages of the project to minimize any adverse

environmental impact and assure sustainable development of the area.

For the effective and consistent functioning of the campus, an Environmental



EIA/EMP REPORT


Management System (EMS) was established at the site including an

Environmental Management cell for implementation of the EMP and

monitoring plan, training and awareness, audits and maintenance of records.

Based on the environmental assessment, the associated potential adverse

environmental impacts mitigated to an acceptable level by adequate

implementation of the measures as stated in the EIA and the EMP. Some of

the features of the project are:

Use of fly ash bricks.

Use of steel manufactured from recycled content

Provide permeable paving to control surface water runoff

Meet all requirements for buildings in moderate earthquake prone

areas.

Provision of fire alarms and water sprinklers

Provision of welfare schemes to workers

Commitment to engaging local people and businessmen for

maintenance and repair work

Hence, it may be concluded that the project will have significant positive

economic and social impact on the local community without bearing any

significant adverse environmental impacts.

Land Environment

Ecological Environment

The construction activities may involve removal of native flora from project site.

Methodology

Approach followed for ecological impact assessment is as described below:

Obtain information on initial/baseline ecological conditions of site

(prior to the development of project, from the date of

allotment/purchase of land) through satellite imagery.

Description of the ecological conditions of site - pre and post project

Analysis of the preliminary variation between pre and post project

conditions of site in order to identify, quantify the impact in terms of

types/species, girth and number of trees.

Baseline environment monitoring through an NABL accredited and

MoEFCC recognized laboratory.

Site survey for establishing ground truth and prepare subsequent final

assessment report.



EIA/EMP REPORT


CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The construction for Phase-I was reported to be started in September,

2017 and 100% of the built up area (Phase-I ) was completed by December,

2018 without obtaining the prior EC.

It is evident from the satellite imagery depicted in Figure 13.1 that no

trees existed at site prior to the development of project.

Figure 13.1: Project site (prior to development of project: 20.05.2017)

Figure 13.2 below is the current status of project site. Certain portion of

land at site are still intact as in evident from the satellite image.

We selected the untouched areas of project site to carry out field survey for

Biodiversity (Flora and Fauna) study.

The flora and fauna species recorded from project site are common and widely

distributed.

The detailed list of floral and faunal species (in and around the project

site), have been provided in Chapter – 3 of the EIA/EMP report.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Figure 13.2: Project site (after development of project: current status)

Conclusion:

The recreated biodiversity study for the present project clearly shows that

most of the species recorded are common and widely distributed and the

range of occurrence extended to wide geographical area. Therefore, it can

be concluded that the biodiversity loss due to the construct ion of the

present project is not much significant or is negligible.

In order to restore the ecology, 18 no. of native tree species have been

planted and 90 more trees are proposed to be planted during and after

completion of the project for enhancement of biodiversity of the region.

An amount of INR 15 lakh on capital cost and INR 3 lakh x 5 years (INR

15 lakh) as recurring expenses has been spent by the project proponent for

development of green area. The total amount spent on account of green

area development is INR 15 lakh.



EIA/EMP REPORT


Air Environment

According to a Research undertaken in USA, 85% to 90% by weight of the

fugitive dust emissions of PM10 from construction sites are PM2.5-10 and

10% to 15% are in the PM2.5 fraction.

Thus the major air pollutant from construction activities is PM10.

The main air quality impacts/damage that may arise during construction

activities are:

1. Dust deposition, resulting in the soiling of surfaces;

2. Impact on ecology/vegetation

3. Impact on human health

As per a study carried out by Institute of Air Quality Management,

U.K., „Guidance on the Assessment of Dust from Demolition and

Construction‟, the degree of damage caused due to dust emissions from

a construction site causing loss of amenity, health or ecological impacts

is related to:

The duration of construction activities. Construction period for this

project was 14 months i.e. from September 17 to December 18. Since

no construction activities are carried out during monsoon season

The size of site. Dust emission magnitude during the construction

phase; include the size of the building(s)/infrastructure, method of

construction and construction materials. Buildings with

volume/built-up area of 25,000 m3 to 100,000 m3 are characterized as

MEDIUM polluting sites. (The built-up area constructed at site is

58,000 m2);

The proximity of receptors to construction activities;

The adequacy of mitigation measures applied to reduce or eliminate

dust; (Mitigation measures adopted during Construction period of

the project have been discussed in EIA/EMP report of the project.

The sensitivity of receptors/humans to the health effects from PM10

is characterized as MEDIUM at locations where the people exposed

are workers and are exposed to emissions for eight hours or more in

a day. Examples of such human receptors include office and shop

workers. (This is a commercial area and project site is surrounded

by similar commercial developments, warehouses, etc.).



EIA/EMP REPORT


The likelihood of an adverse impact/damage occurring – Assessment of

impacts is required when there is:

An ecological receptor within 50 m of the site

A human receptor within 350 m of the boundary of the site

For this project, both the above conditions hold good, hence the damage

caused from construction activities has been assessed and explained

below.

Dust from construction sites deposited on vegetation may create

ecological stress within the local plant community. During long dry

periods (summer season), dust can coat plant foliage, affecting

photosynthesis and other biological functions.

However, rainfall acts as a natural dust suppressant and removes the

deposited dust from foliage. Therefore, plant communities near project

site are likely to have recovered within the same year during monsoon

season.

High sensitivity receptors include Residential properties, Hospitals,

Schools/Educational Institutions. Medium sensitivity receptors include

Office and Shop workers. Low sensitivity receptors include Public

Footpaths, Playing Fields, Parks and Shopping Streets.

There is no receptor within 350 m of project site.

The mitigation measures followed during construction period have been

explained in EIA/EMP report of the project. According to an

international research study, application of water sprinkling during

construction activities can bring down the pollution potential of sites to

50%.

Thus through professional judgment, the degree of damage from air

emissions due to the construction of project has been assessed as

MEDIUM in view of the mitigation measures followed during

construction period.

Noise Environment

The Central Pollution Control Board has constituted a Committee on

Noise Pollution Control which has recommended noise standards [dB(A)



EIA/EMP REPORT


Leq] for ambient air, automobiles, domestic appliances and construction

equipments, which were later notified in Environment (Protection)

Rules,1986 as given below:

According to an international study, „Noise Impacts – Cortona Apartments

Project EIR, City of Goleta‟ noise levels at the nearby receptor locations is based

on distance between construction site and receptors.

There is no features/receptors present within vicinity (350 m radius).

Sensitive noise receptors - Sensitive noise receptors/Silence Zone as

per CPCB norms are referred as areas upto 100 meters around

premises such as hospitals, educational institutions (schools, colleges,

and universities) and courts.

There are no sensitive receptors within vicinity of this project site.

As per the above referred study, standard noise attenuation rate of 6

dB occurs per doubling of distance in case of building construction

projects without taking into account the presence of intervening

structures or topography, which could further reduce noise levels at

receptor locations.

Noise levels from different construction equipments and the

attenuation of noises levels with increase in distance are listed in the

table below:

distance Source: Federal YTRANSIT Administration (FTA), 2008

Typical construction noise levels at 50 feet from the construction site

range from about 76 to 88 dBA. The excavation, concrete mixing and

movement of trucks during construction phase tend to create the

highest noise levels, although these activities are limited only to a

particular period of time and not during entire construction phase.

The construction at project site was effectively carried out for approx.

14 months.

Noise limits for construction sites - According to MoEFCC, the

maximum noise levels near the construction site should be limited to

75 dB(A) Leq in industrial areas and to 65 dB(A) Leq in other areas.

There is no receptor within 50 feet from project site.

The project site was barricaded along all sides to mitigate the noise levels.

Thus through professional judgment, the degree of damage from air

emissions due to the construction of project has been assessed as LOW

in view of the mitigation measures followed during construction

period.

Water Environment

The quantity of water consumed during construction process -

During construction, water is used for watering, curing, dust control,

cleaning, construction labour, etc. According to a Research Study,

„Assessment of Water Resource Consumption in Building Construction

in India‟ by S. Bardhan, Dept. of Architecture, Jadavpur University,

India, the water consumed per unit of built-up area of a constructed

building is 10 KL/Sq m.

For this project, total 122761.09 m2 of built-up area has been

constructed at site out of which 58,435.71 is for the Phase-1, which is

100% of the total built-up area.

Topography

The development work at site was carried out keeping in mind the

topography of site. Negligible cutting and filling has been carried out and

the natural topography of site has been retained.

The project proponent had adopted the following measures during

construction phase to prevent contamination of land environment:

.

Topography retained.

Top soil was preserved and used for landscape development.

Conclusion

From the comparative soil analysis, it has been observed that there are

marginal changes with respect to texture of soil (might be due to mixing),

chemical constituents and nutrient load in terms of NPK value. The soil
