Accredited)
WATER ENVIRONMENT Ground and surface water samples were
collected within the study area. Its analysis results are as per
drinking water standards (IS 10500: 2012) and Class–B outdoor
bathing (IS 2296: 1982) as per CPCB except few parameters.
Water Requirement: Baseline data reveals that overall GIDC water
quality is satisfactory to serve for a domestic purpose as per
drinking water quality standards IS 10500: 2012.
Ponds water of few places was observed under eutrophication,
which may be due to animal bathing, washing of cloths and domestic
wastewater discharge.
Total water consumption; from second day onwards will be 2194
kl/day.
Wastewater generation and disposal: domestic wastewater (40
kl/day) will be treated and reused for gardening and industrial
wastewater partly will be Evapoarted in MEE, partly treated in RO
and remaining sent to ETP. Approx. 874 kl/day of
treated/condensate/permeate will be reused in process /industrial
use and remnant (1578 kl/day) will be discharged into deep sea
through GIDC drainage system.
Thus, it can be concluded that there would not be any
significant adverse impact on the water environment due to the
proposed project. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT
Land pollution occurs due to wastewater, hazardous waste or air
pollutants deposited on the land. Industrial effluent will be
treated in Effluent Treatment Plant and the treated effluent
conforming to the standards will be reused for washing/other
purposes and gardening within the premises. All the solid/hazardous
wastes generated due to the proposed project will be handled and
disposed off properly so that no harm to the environment can occur.
Adequate air pollution control device / measures will be provided
to control the air pollution.
Therefore, there would be no adverse impact on the land
environment due to this project.
ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY The baseline biological survey for the
evaluation of the floral and faunal biodiversity of the terrestrial
environment within 10 km from the project site was conducted. There
is no Wild Life Sanctuary /National Parks within the study
area.
Even though, the agriculture lands are limited to a few pockets,
during the study period (winter), most of the cultivable land was
observed with crops like, wheat, cotton and Ricinus. Monsoon
dependent crop pattern is practiced in this region. The crop
occupying the highest percentage of the sown area of this region is
taken as the major crop and all other possible alternative crops
which are sown in this region either as substitutes of the base
crop in the same season or as the crops which fit in the rotation
in the subsequent season, are considered as minor crop. The Tuver
(Cajanus indica), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Cotton (Gossypium
herbaceum) are cultivated as major crops in this area surrounding
areas of Bharuch District. Divel (Ricinus communis), Bajra
(Pennisetum typhoides) and Jowar (Sorghum bicolar) are cultivated
in few pockets immediately after monsoon period. Bajra (Pennisetum
typhoides) are mostly cultivated for Fodder and some fruit such as
Keri (Mangiferaindica L.), Chikoo (Manilkara zapota (L.)), Papaya
(Carica papaya L.), and Banana (Musa Paradisiaca L.) is also
planted
The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were;
Red-wattled Lapwing, Cattle Egret, , Blue Rock Pigeon, Ring Dove
etc..
Only one fauna that falls under the scheduled-I category was
reported from the study area Peacock or Indian peafowl (Pavo
cristatus) , The rest of the fauna reported from the study area,
falls under either in schedule-II, Schedule-III or Schedule-IV of
the wild Life Protection Act 1972. Most of these species are not
conservation dependent in Gujarat, and they are proliferating
itself in its own habitats. Few of them like Nilgai and have become
threat to the farmers as they are invading their cops very
frequently in this region. Hence conservation measures are not
provided for these animals

Executive Summary
Anand Environmental Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (E-5) (QCI/ NABET
Accredited)
Peacock or Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is a very familiar
bird of Gujarat also recognized as National Bird of India. The male
peacock is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of
spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long
train made up of elongated upper-tail; these stiff and elongated
feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during
courtship. The female lacks this feathers
Conservation through habitat improvement and awareness: Habitat
improvement program can be undertaken through plantation of
suitable tree species in the surrounding villages. While selecting
the tree/ shrub species care shall be provided for beery plants
which attract these birds .During summer period, villagers will be
encouraged to use the old earthen pots to fill with water for
drinking these birds. Summer is the time when these birds are
facing shortage of feeds, there by supplying the feed like Bajri,
Juwar, Maize to the identified surrounding villages with good
population of Indian peafowls will suffix the problem of food
shortage. The proponent can directly supply these feed to the
villages directly or by funding to the NGOs active in this
mission.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT The proposed project will generate
employment for approx. 40 persons during operation phase. The
indirect employment will also be generated by way of
transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment for many
people. Local people will be given preference for the jobs in the
proposed project. Economic status of the local people will improve
due to the increased business opportunities, thereby, making a
positive impact. Educational, medical and related facilities in the
study area will considerably improve. As well as company will
participate in CSR activity this will overall improve the economic
growth of the area.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN An Environmental Management Plan
has been prepared for mitigation of the adverse impacts. The
Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management
plan for and for maintaining the environment. It also includes
development of greenbelt, proper safety of workers, environmental
monitoring plan, energy conservation, cleaner production, rain
water harvesting and fire safety.
ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN The adverse environmental impacts
identified during the Environmental Impact Assessment process of
the proposed project may increase during the construction as well
as operation phase. Monitoring of environmental factors and
constrains will enable us to identify the changes in the
environmental impacts at various locations and their mitigative
measures. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP,
monitoring of ambient air quality, stack emissions, analysis and
monitoring of water environment and noise level will be carried out
as required / specified by statuary authority.
GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN A greenbelt area approximately 33% of
total land area will be developed within the project site to
minimize the air pollution, noise pollution, balancing
eco-environment, soil erosion / protection etc.
RAIN WATER HARVESTING The industry will harvest rainwater from
roof tops and storm water drains to recharge the ground water.Total
quantity of rainwater that will be harvested through percolation
well is approximately 9696.99m3/year.
CONCLUSION Construction phase will not impart appreciable
impact, as indicated mitigation measures will be followed.
Negligible impacts will occur on air quality during operation
phase. However, all the necessary air
pollution control measures will be provided. No impact on soil
and landuse will occur. No adverse impacts will occur on water
environment and geo-hydrology. No ecological damage will occur.

1.3 Breif Description of Nature, Size, Location of the Project
& Its Importance to the country and Region
Geography and Climate of the area:
Bharuch is located at 21.7°N 72.97°E. It has an average
elevation of 15 metres (49 feet). Bharuch is a port city situated
on the banks of the Narmada River. The damming of the Narmada
caused the original port facilities to close; the nearest port is
now in Dahej. The Bharuch district is surrounded by Vadodara
(North), Narmada (East) and Surat (South) districts. To the west is
the Gulf of Khambhat.
Bharuch has a tropical savanna climate (under Köppen's Climate
classification), moderated strongly by the Arabian Sea. The summer
begins in early March and lasts until June. April and May are the
hottest months, the average maximum temperature being40°C. Monsoon
begins in late June and the city receives about 800 millimetres (31
in) of rain by the end of September, with the average maximum being
32 °C during those months. October and November see the retreat of
the monsoon and a return of high temperatures until late November.
Winter starts in December and ends in late February, with average
temperatures of around 23 °C (73 °F). Very often heavy monsoon rain
brings floods in the Narmada basin area. The city had witnessed
major floods in the past, but now the floods have been controlled
after the damming of the Narmada.
