The Vadodara district can be divided in two main geomorphic units –the eastern hilly, medium to high relief terrain and the western plain area. The eastern portion of the district comprised the Chhota Udepur, Jabugam and Nasvadi Talukas. The hilly area has two types of topography. In the north there are irregular hills and ridges with intervening valleys forming a high relief whereas in the south the low flat topped hills of Deccan Traps along with rolling mounds give rise to a medium relief. The western plain has got a flat, low lying surface and a thick pile of alluvium. The Narmada and the Mahi are the chief rivers of the district. Besides these two rivers, the Jambuva, the Surva, the Vishwamitri and the Dhadhar flow through the district and empty into the Gulf of Cambay (Khambhat).
3.8.2 Geological Features and Seismic Zones

4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
4.1 Impacting Activities, Environmental Impacts and Environmental Indices
4.1.1 Impacting Activities
Impacting activities are defined as elements of organization's activities that can interact with the environment. These include activities during normal and abnormal operation of industry.
4.1.2 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts are defined as any change in environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially, resulting from impacting activities.
4.1.3 Environmental Indices
The environmental indices (or parts of the receiving environment on which impacts are being predicted) are ambient air, water, noise, land, flora and fauna, infrastructure, and socio-economic environment. Thus we predict the environmental impacts of the impacting activities on the environmental indices.
4.2 Matrix Method
Matrix methodology is adopted for the impact assessment of this project. This method incorporates a list of impacting activities and their likely environmental impacts, presented in a matrix format.
Combining these lists as horizontal and vertical axes in the matrix allows the identification of cause-effect relationships, if any, between specific activities and impacts.
In this case, the entries of the matrix are qualitative estimates of these cause-effect relationships.
The matrix is prepared considering current as well as proposed mitigation measures. The impact matrix is presented at the end of the chapter.
4.3 Qualitative Estimates
The criterions for evaluation of the qualitative matrix are presented herewith:
No Impact (O)
This indicates that the project activity is unlikely to have any impact on an environmental attribute.
It signifies that the actions have minor effect, adverse or beneficial, on the environmental parameters concerned. Generally impacts are of temporary duration (occur intermittently) or are in insignificant quantities. Impacts are not likely to exceed stipulated limits.
The activities and their environmental impacts are judged to be significant adverse if they create, or have the potential to generate environmental impacts which are readily identifiable and tangible. Significant beneficial impacts create reasonable positive impact on the environment.

INK CONCENTRATE & PIGMENTS
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS 104 MARCH 2011
High Adverse Impact (HA) / High Beneficial Impact (HB)
These are actions that create or have a potential to create controversy in the public or professional community due to its long-term effect. They may be, at times, irreversible. Likewise high beneficial impacts are those impacts that radically improve the environment.
Section 4.5 lists:
• All major activities likely to impact the environment
• The qualitative estimates of the impact of each activity on environment
• The mitigation measures already in place to reduce impacts on environment
• The qualitative estimates of the impact of each activity on environment after implementation of the additional mitigation measures
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is presented in the next chapter based on this analysis.
4.4 Impact Prediction
Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of physical environment. Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe the cause and effect relationships between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In cases where it is not possible to identify and validate a model for a particular situation, predictions have arrived at based on logical reasoning / consultation / extrapolation.

4.5 Overall Impact on Environment
Ambient air monitoring carried out in post monsoon season of year 2009 shows that the ambient air quality for PM10, SO2, NOx, VOC and HC are within the limits specified by CPCB.
Emissions from the various stacks were analyzed for their impacts on the Ground level concentration (GLC) at various receptor locations using the dispersion modeling guidelines given by the Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi and the Industrial Source Complex Short Term Model (ISCST3) of the United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA).
Assumptions
The dispersion modeling assumptions considered are as follows:
• The emission rate from Stack attached to Boiler and Thermic Fluid Heater was calculated based on sulphur content, ash content and Nitrogen content in Furnace Oil and The emission rate from Stack attached to DG Set was calculated for LDO.
• The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT.
• Stability class was evaluated based on solar insulation and cloud cover.
• The mathematical equations used for the dispersion modeling assumes that the earth surface acts as a perfect reflector of plume and physic-chemical processes such as dry and wet deposition and chemical transformation of pollutants are negligible.
• Study has been conducted for summer season of year 2009. The stack emission concentrations used for dispersion modeling were taken as per CPCB guidelines issued for conducting air quality modeling. The meteorological data collected from IMD Ahmedabad / Vadodara for March to May was used for dispersion modeling.
• Ahmedabad / Vadodara for March to May was used for dispersion modeling.
Results The incremental increase in GLC of SOx, NOx and PM due to consumption of Furnace Oil and LDO in plant operations is presented in Table 1.
• It is observed that:
• The maximum 24 hourly average GLC’s for SO2 is observed to be 25.70 µg/m3. These GLC’s are expected to occur at a distance of 150 m from the source towards the SW direction.
• The maximum 24 hourly average GLC’s for NOx is observed to be 2.33 µg/m3. These GLC’s are expected to occur at a distance of 150 m from the source towards the SW direction.
• The maximum 24 hourly average GLC’s for PM is observed to be 0.55 µg/m3. These GLC’s are expected to occur at a distance of 150 m from the source towards the SW direction.
• The concentration limit for SO2 and NOx in the ambient air, as specified by CPCB is 80 µg/m3. The baseline average ambient air concentration of SO2 was observed to be around 9 µg/m3 and NOx was observed to be around 12 µg /m3 at the site.
Further, it is emphasized that all the emissions have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures of this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 5.
4.5.1 Noise environment
The noise level at the project boundary is estimated to be within the specified limits with all pumps and compressors, boilers etc. operating at their full capacity. With the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, the noise levels at plant boundaries will be well below the limits specified for industrial areas.
ORGANIC COATINGS LTD. EIA, EMP, RA & DMP FOR PROPOSED PROJECT OF PRINTING
INK, INK CONCENTRATE & PIGMENTS
KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS 116 MARCH 2011
It follows that ambient noise levels will not be adversely impacted by OCL proposed plant operations.
4.5.2 Water Environment
The assessment of impacts on the water environment due to proposed plant of M/s. Organic Coatings Ltd. is as follows:
After proposed production, water requirement is approximately 250 KLD out of which 9 KLD will be used for domestic purposes and the rest for industrial purposes. The unit will draw ground water. The unit is not located in critical zone specified by CGWA so no special permission will be required to withdraw groundwater.
Impact on receiving surface water body
Approx 187 KLD Effluent generated from processing, boiler, cooling and washing will be treated in effluent treatment plant and then sent to ECPL for the final disposal into the Estuary of river Mahi. Hence there will be no adverse impact on receiving water bodies.
Impact on ground water quality
There will be no disposal of untreated water on land so impact on groundwater quality due to the proposed activity.
OCL will take all necessary precautions to make its solid waste and effluent storage / treatment areas impervious to water and leachate migration.
Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures discussed in this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to ensure that surface and ground water quality remain within norms.
4.5.3 Land Environment
Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly followed as mentioned in the mitigation measures discussed in this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to prevent soil contamination in the future.
4.5.4 Flora and fauna
Flora
Analysis of abiotic factors reveals that ambient air and fresh water quality will remain practically unaffected. Thus, indirect adverse impact on flora is ruled out. The floristic component of the study area does not include any rare or endangered species. Thus, impact on rare and endangered species of flora is also ruled out.
Fauna
The quality of ambient air and fresh water system will remain practically unaffected. Thus indirect impact on fauna, due to these abiotic factors is ruled out. The proposed activities do not envisage destruction of habitat and feeding or breeding areas of faunal species. Further, development of plantation to substitute the access cutting, site preparation will provide habitat, food and breeding areas to birds, small animals and insects. Thus a positive impact is envisaged. No rare or endangered species of fauna are reported to exist in the area. Thus, no impacts on rare / endangered species are envisaged due to normal operations.
4.5.5 Socio-Economic Environment
During construction phase of existing industry, about 75 job opportunities for a few months were awarded.

The selection of the trees is based on their phenology (thus road side trees should not have leaf fall during summer and rainy seasons when shade is most needed). Trees with more litter fall have been avoided.
The selection criteria of the species are based on pollution mitigation capacity (including particulate matter), large leaf surface area7 deep root system and less litter fall. Faster growing trees with lighter canopy shall be planted alternatively with relatively slow growing trees with wider canopy (Specifically trees which grow faster after 1year of life span). Trees of about 6.0m height shall be planted at 4.5m intervals, 2.5m away from the road curbing.
Shade loving ground covers with large yield of biomass with good soil binding properties shall be planted after the development of the tree canopy.
Planting in two tiers using large/medium size evergreen trees, medium size shrubs and ground covers shall be done along the roads. Thus a combination of trees and shrubs and trees and ground cover are proposed.
Trees selected have a clean bole for at least 3 m so that the branches do not obstruct vehicles and view. The trees have a dense crown so that they can provide good shade and protection from the rain and sun. The root system of the trees selected is neither shallow nor very spreading. Trees selected do not have aerial roots.
Some species are recommended as follows:-
Saraca asoka
Tecoma stans
Gardenia jasminoides
Plantation in and around the garden
Plantation shall be carried out in two tiers using small size shrubs and ground covers. It is aimed to create a conducive microclimate and a visual impact. Shrubs shall be planted at close intervals to form a hedge.

6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
6.1 Introduction
6.1.1 General
Chapter 4 has identified a number of impacts that are likely to arise. Where adverse impacts have been identified, the EIA has examined the extent to which these impacts would be mitigated through the adoption of industry standard practice and guidelines and following legislative requirements of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB). The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) describes both generic good practice measures and site specific measures, the implementation of which is aimed at mitigating potential impacts associated with the proposed activities.
6.1.2 Purpose of the Environmental Management Plan
The environment management plan is prepared with a view to facilitate effective environmental management of the project, in general and implementation of the mitigation measures in particular. The EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts and to introduce standards of good practice to be adopted for all project works.

6.4 Occupational Health of Workers
6.4.1 Noise
The parameter is being monitored at all of the existing sites and for the new site as well the same will be monitored at set time interval and will always be kept below the permissible norms.
All workmen will be provided with required set of PPEs like Ear plug, Ear Muff etc.
6.4.2 Heat
The new setup / plant will have fully automated manufacturing facilities as far as the operations are concerned; hence there are least chances for any of the operators to be at the heating zone. But the never the less, all of the workmen with least possibility of alike situation will be provided with adequate PPE, like face shield, gloves, apron, safety shoes and other applicable special clothing.
6.4.3 Dust, other Chemicals and metals being suspended in the environment
The possibility of suspended particles going into the body of the workmen, either in the form of inhalation, ingestion or through skin absorption are least and negligible as because the entire operation at the plant will be performed under closed loop condition, right from charging till discharging, hence it’s a rare possibility that the workmen will come in direct contact with raw material or final goods, At the same time the level of SPM and RPM will definitely be of least and nominal value. But even though the same will be under closed monitoring and periodical surveillance as per EIA norms and applicable legislations and any minor deviation from the same will be dealt immediately and will be corrected.
Further to this all of the workmen will be provided with complete set of appropriate PPEs, like nose musk / nose respirator, gloves, hard hat or cap, protective uniform and clothing, eye protections etc.
6.4.4 Steps taken to avoid Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD), backache, pain in major and minor joints, fatigue etc
In past ergonomic studies were carried out at most MSD prone activities / places like paint filling and raw material charging but associated risk level have been found to be far below. But in-spite of this as mentioned, the entire new set up will be having the facility of automation and least involvement of manual handling hence chances of MSD are going to be almost nil. Further to this some activities , like raw material carriage, storage, issuance, charging etc, all those might lead MSD will also be done through improvised manner by use

of latest / automated lifting and handling equipments, hence the possibility of MSD in case cases also doesn’t exists.
6.4.5 Occupational Hazards specific pre-placement and periodical monitoring
As per practice all of the workmen are put to medical examination and testing periodically and at set interval and based on the medical report actions are taken, if at all any thing is necessary and required. Even based on the medical examination report / feedback, workmen are counseled and put in different area / job rotation kind of activities
