ENERGY CONSERVATION

Energy conservation program will be implemented through measures taken both on energy demand

and supply.






Energy conservation will be one of the main focuses during the complex planning and operation

stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following:

Architectural design

Maximum utilization of solar light will be done.

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.

The green areas will be spaced, so that a significant reduction in the temperature can take

place.

Energy Saving Practices

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.

Behavioral Change on Consumption

Promoting resident awareness on energy conservation

Training staff on methods of energy conservation and to be vigilant to such

opportunities.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND MONITORING PLAN

For the effective and consistent functioning of the complex, an Environmental Management system

(EMS) would be established at the site. The EMS would include the following:

Supply Energy Conservation Demand

Utilize energy-efficient diesel genetators

Exploring the possibilities of introducing

renewable energy

Reduce consumption

Use energy efficient appliances

Create Guest Awareness






An Environmental management cell

Environmental Monitoring.

Personnel Training.

Regular Environmental audits and Correction measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL

Apart from having an Environmental Management Plan, it is also proposed to have a permanent

organizational set up charged with the task of ensuring its effective implementation of mitigation

measures and to conduct environmental monitoring.

Hierarchical Structure of Environmental Management Cell:

Normal activities of the EMP cell would be supervised by a dedicated person who will report to the

site manager/coordinator of the residential plotted colony. The hierarchical structure of suggested

Environmental Management Cell is given in following Figure-7.

Figure-7: Environment Management Cell Structure

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) by periodic monitoring. The important environmental

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 would be communicated to:

Residents and Contractors: Residents must be made aware of the importance of waste segregation

and disposal, water and energy conservation. The awareness can be provided by periodic Integrated

Society meetings. They would be informed of their duties.

Environmental Audits and Corrective Action Plans: To assess whether the implemented EMP is

adequate, periodic environmental audits will be conducted by the project proponent’s Environmental

division. These audits will be followed by Correction Action Plan (CAP) to correct various issues

identified during the audits.






ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) would consist of all mitigation measures for each

component of the environment due to the activities increased during the construction and operational

phase of the project and these are discussed in later subsections.

The EMP is generally

Prepared in accordance with the rules and requirements of the MoEF and CPCB/ SPCB

To ensure that the component of facilities are operated in accordance with the design

A process that confirms proper operation through supervision and monitoring

A system that addresses public complaints during construction and operation of the facilities and

A plan that ensures remedial measures is implemented immediately.

The key benefits of the EMP are that it offers means of managing its environmental performance

thereby allowing it to contribute to improved environmental quality. The other benefit includes cost

control and improved relations with the stakeholders.

EMP includes four major elements:

Commitment & Policy: The management will strive to provide and implement the

Environmental Management Plan that incorporates all issues related to air, water, land and

noise.

Planning: This includes identification of environmental impacts, legal requirements and setting

environmental objectives.

Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the developers, accountability of

contractors, training of operational staff associated with environmental control facilities and

documentation of measures to be taken.

Measurement & Evaluation: This includes monitoring, counteractive actions and record

keeping.

It is suggested that as part of the EMP, a monitoring committee would be formed by M/s Vatika Ltd.

EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

To mitigate the impacts of PM10 & PM2.5 during the construction phase of the project, the following

measures are recommended for implementation:

A dust control plan

Procedural changes to construction activities

Dust Control Plan

The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water because water is easily available on construction site.

Water can be applied using water trucks, handled sprayers and automatic sprinkler systems. Furthermore,

incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in transport, especially if material is transported

off-site.

Procedural Changes to Construction Activities

Idle Time Reduction: Construction equipment is commonly left idle while the operators are on break or

waiting for the completion of another task. Emission from idle equipment tends to be high, since catalytic

converters cools down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide oxidation.

Existing idle control technologies comprises of power saving mode, which automatically off the engine at

preset time and reduces emissions, without intervention from the operators.

Improved Maintenance: Significant emission reductions can be achieved through regular equipment

maintenance. Contractors will be asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet as part of the

contract bid, and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract. Incentive provisions will be

established to encourage contractors to comply with regular maintenance requirements.

Reduction of On-Site Construction Time: Rapid on-site construction would reduce the duration of

traffic interference and therefore, will reduce emissions from traffic delay.

EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT DURING OPERATION PHASE:

To mitigate the impacts of pollutants from DG set and vehicular traffic during the operational phase of the

Colony, following measures are recommended for implementation:

DG set emission control measures






Vehicular emission controls and alternatives


Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measures

Adequate stack height will be maintained to disperse the air pollutants generated from the operation of

DG set to dilute the pollutants concentration within the immediate vicinity. Hence, no additional emission

control measures have been suggested.

Vehicle Emission Controls and Alternatives

During construction, vehicles will be properly maintained to reduce emission. As it is an expansion of

residential plotted colony, vehicles will be generally having “PUC” certificate.

Footpaths and Pedestrian ways: Adequate footpaths and pedestrian ways would be provided at the site to

encourage non-polluting methods of transportation.

Landscape Development

Tree plantation is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air and noise 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 on the leaves. It also helps to reduce the noise level at large extent. Table given in green area

indicates various species of the trees that can be used to act as a barrier.

EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

To mitigate the impacts of noise from construction equipment during the construction phase on the site,

the following measures are recommended for implementation.

Time of Operation: Noisy construction equipment would not be allowed to use.

Job Rotation and Hearing Protection: Workers employed in high noise areas will be employed on shift

basis. Hearing protection such as earplugs/ muffs will be provided to those working very close to the

noise generating machinery.

EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT DURING OPERATION PHASE:

To mitigate the impacts of noise from diesel generator set during operational phase, the following

measures are recommended:

Adoption of Noise emission control technologies

BLUE BINS







Noise Emission Control Technologies

It would be ensured that the manufacturer provides acoustic enclosure as an integral part along with the

diesel generators set. Further, enclosure of the services area with 4 m high wall will reduce noise levels

and ensure that noise is at a permissible limit for resident of the site and surrounding receptors.

EMP FOR ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

Construction activity changes the natural environment. But residential plotted colony also creates a built

environment for its inhabitants. The project requires the implementation of following choices exclusively

or in combination.

Restriction of construction activities to defined project areas, which are ecologically sensitive

Restrictions on location of temporary labor tents and offices for project staff near the project area to

avoid human induced secondary additional impacts on the flora and fauna species

Cutting, uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees if present in and around the project site for

cooking, burning or heating purposes by the labors will be prohibited and suitable alternatives for

this purpose will be made

Along with the construction work, the peripheral landscape development with tree plantation would

be developed with suggested native plant species, as they will grow to a full-fledged covered at the

time of completion.

EMP FOR ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT DURING OPERATION PHASE:

Improvement of the current ecology of the project site will entail the following measures:

Plantation and Landscaping

Landscape development with tree plantation

Park and Avenue Plantation

The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the above objectives:






Plantation & Landscaping

Selection of the plant species would be done on the basis of their adaptability to the existing geographical

conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of the region earlier found or currently

observed.

Tree Plantation Plan

The plantation matrix adopted for the tree plantation includes pit of 0.3 m × 0.3 m size with a spacing of 2

m x 2 m. In addition, earth filling and manure may also be required for the proper nutritional balance and

nourishment of the sapling. It is also recommended that the plantation has to be taken up randomly and

the landscaping aspects could be taken into consideration.

Multi-layered plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m) and shrubs (5 m height) are for

the landscape development with tree plantation. In addition creepers will be planted along the boundary

wall to enhance its insulation capacity.

Selection of Plant Species for Tree Plantation

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation

and soil. The plants would exhibit the following desirable characteristics in order to be selected for

plantation

1. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability

2. The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted

3. The species should form a dense canopy

4. As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally available

5. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SO2 and NOx should be preferred

6. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within the belt

7. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through

8. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the surfaces

9. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought

10. Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing rapidly decomposable leaf litter)

11. Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing

12. Bird and insect attracting tree species

13. Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance.






Parks and Avenue Plantation

Parks and gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not only improve the

quality of existing ecology at the project site but also will improve the aesthetic value.

Avenue Plantation

1. Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering

2. Trees with branching at 7 feet and above

3. Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic

4. Fruit trees to be avoided because children may obstruct traffic and general movement of public.

EMP FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT:

The social management plan has been designed to take proactive steps and adopt best practices, which are

sensitive to the socio-cultural setting of the region. The Social Management Plan residential plotted

colony project focuses on the following components:

Income Generation Opportunity During Construction and Operation Phase

The expansion project would provide employment opportunity during construction and operation

phase. There would also be a wide economic impact in terms of generating opportunities for

secondary occupation within and around the complex. The main principles considered for

employment and income generation opportunities are out lined below:

a) Employment strategy will provide for preferential employment of local people.

b) Conditions of employment would address issues like minimum wages and medical care for the

workers. Contractors would be required to abide to employment priority towards locals and abide by

the labor laws regarding standards on employee terms and conditions.

Improved Working Environment for Employees

The expansion project would provide safe and improved working conditions for the workers

employed at the facility during construction and operation phase. With the ambience and facilities

provided, the complex will provide a new experience in living and recreations. Following measures

would be taken to improve the working environment of the area:






a) Less use of chemicals and biological agents with hazard potential

b) Developing a proper interface between the work and the human resource through a system of skill

improvement

c) Provision of facilities for nature care and recreation e.g. indoor games facilities

d) Measures to reduce the incidence of work related injuries, fatalities and diseases

e) Maintenance and beautifications of the complex and the surrounding road
