3. WATER AND SANITATION

An optimum mix of Fresh Water and Recycled water have been proposed to minimise the ecological

footprint of the project. For sustainable resource management, especially water management, the

tourism projects shall not consider the groundwater extraction for any purposes. Additionally,

maintaining the quality of drinking water is equally important for ensuring healthy and hygienic

conditions for tourists. To ensure safe drinking water, both saline water and/or harvested rainwater

have to be treated before its consumption at varying levels depending on the water quality of the

source and its intended use.

Demand Assessment Owing to topological challenge of setting up rain water harvesting reservoirs in the project site, the

proponents shall attempt to meet the water demand from the desalination plant as well as from waste

water recycling and reuse. The developer shall have the benefit of exploring rainwater harvesting as

more efficient means of water supply.

Desalination plant Desalination plant is inevitable in the site as there are no existing potable water supply source or

network. Owing to the ecological sensitivity of the island, ground water extraction is not

recommended.

Proposed Desalination Network & CRZ Zones

The proposed desalination plant (Sea Water Reverse Osmosis) will be established with a capacity of

240KLD. The plant is proposed on the shore towards east side with a footprint of 300 sq. m with

facilities of intake and storage tank with a capacity of 240KLD each.

Sea water will be drawn from the intake well located at a distance of 400m from the shore at a depth

of 20m with a diameter of 2.5 diameter. Diameter of the pipeline will be 150mm. The outfall pipe

from desalination plant discharges at a distance of 600m from the coast where the dilution is high,

and salinity reaches ambient salinity of sea water within in 25m radius.

The proposed network maintains a 500m buffer from the coral seabed found in the area so as to

ensure minimum impact on the marine life. All precaution will be taken to ensure no damage to

a) Brine Dispersion Modelling A modelling study undertaken to study the fate and dispersion of the brine discharge from the

desalination plant. The dilution of any return water released in a natural water body takes place in 2

stages, viz., i) initial dilution due to jet mixing, and ii) secondary dispersion due to turbulence. The

extent of initial dilution is controlled by the engineering design of the diffuser. For a proposed design

of the diffuser port the behaviour of the return water jet plume is designed and estimated using

CORMIX model. Once the return water rises to the water surface as the water moves away from the

outfall location the subsequent dilution takes place by larger scale turbulence in the horizontal

direction. This second stage is controlled by the prevailing currents and turbulence that exist in the

coastal region. Such secondary dispersion is estimated using a Hydrodynamic-Advection-Dispersion

model. The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a software module for the analysis,

prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into diverse water

bodies.

The mixing behaviour of any brine reject discharge is governed by the interplay of ambient conditions

in the receiving water body and by the discharge characteristics. The ambient conditions in the

receiving water body are described by the water body's geometric and dynamic characteristics such

as: plan shape, vertical cross-sections, and bathymetry, especially in the discharge vicinity. Dynamic

characteristics are given by the velocity and density distribution in the water body, again primarily in

the discharge vicinity. The discharge conditions relate to the geometric and flux characteristics of the

submerged outfall installation. For a single port discharge the port diameter, its elevation above the

bottom and its orientation provide the geometry; for multiport diffuser installations the arrangement

of the individual ports along the diffuser line, the orientation of the diffuser line, and construction

details represent additional geometric features; and for surface discharges the cross-section and

Page 8

orientation of the flow entering the ambient watercourse are important. The distinction between

near-field and far-field is made purely on hydrodynamic grounds and it is unrelated to any regulatory

mixing zone definitions.

The volume of brine discharge from the desalination plant released into the sea will be ~293KLD per

peak day = ~7L/second = 0.007 m3/s. The salinity of the return water released into the sea will be 60

ppt, which will have the salinity difference of 25 ppt higher than the seawater ambient salinity of 35

ppt. The various input parameters to the CORMIX model to determine the behaviour of the return

water jet plume around the proposed diffuser port are given in the annexure 3.

This study shows that the impact of the discharge of the brine water, on the marine environment

would be insignificant. Hence, it is recommended that the brine discharge from proposed outfalls of

the desalination plant at Lalaji Bay, Long Island can be discharged into the open sea at the identified

location.

Sewage Treatment Plant 80% of the domestic water usage (i.e. 80% of 220 KLD) and water for flush-toilets (i.e. 28 KLD) could

be considered for sewage treatment. For the treatment of the wastewater as per the aforementioned

standards, an STP of about 255 KLD capacity would be constructed for the treatment of about 204

KLD wastewater.

Treatment System Process Flow

The waste water generated during the construction phase of the project would be treated through

onsite sanitation facilities

a) Regulatory Framework Andaman and Nicobar Pollution Control Boards lays out guidelines for treatment of effluent and

sewage. Any hotel restaurant generating waste water over 100 KLD falls under Red Category. They

shall

1. lnstall Effluent Treatment Plant / Sewage Treatment Plant to treat the entire waste water

generated.

2. Treat the waste water up to tertiary level for reuse of the treated effluent at least for Cooling

Tower/ AC Plant and in Horticulture and in flushing of Toilets wherever possible/ applicable as

prescribed in the Environmental Clearance/Consent Conditions. The treated effluent shall be

reused up to the maximum extent possible to achieve the objective of zero discharge. They shall

submit water mass balance chart regarding consumption of water, waste water generation and

use of treated effluent (in the given format annexed).

3. Provide Rain Water Harvesting System.

4. lnstall Solar Water Heating System.

5. Provide Organic Waste Convertor for composting of organic waste or waste to Bio-fuel Plant.

Page 12

6. Convert/Switch Over from Oil Fired Boiler to Natural Gas Based Boiler wherever Gas Supply is

available.

7. Develop Green Belt to create Buffer Zone from main roads.

Rainwater harvesting Rain water harvesting can be explored on Long Island project. Considering the proposed built up

area, the potential for rain water catchment from the rooftops is 76 ML annually. The storage

solution for this water collected can be explored via on ground ferro-cement tanks situated within

clusters or with individual keys.

Other Management Measures • The proponents will use low-flow fixtures for the water supply system in the project. The

use of low-flow fixtures shall significantly support in the reduction in the amount of water

needed for activities like bathing, flushing, washing, etc., and also to optimise the water

losses, which would help in reducing the demand for potable water. The flow rates of all WCs

will have to be at least 3/6 lpf or less, lavatory and kitchen faucets will have a flow rate of 6

lpm or less, urinals will have a flow rate of 3 lpf or less, and flow rate of showers will be at

least 10 lpm or less.

• Water auditing and monitoring are critical aspect in water supply chain. Water audits will be

undertaken for at least once every year. Water audits on-site will help in identifying any

leakages during the supply, illegal withdrawals, etc. Conducting a detailed audit helps in

facilitating a better management of the water supply system with improved reliability.

Systems, like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), may be installed for this

purpose. Such systems help in the easier extraction of data for any future analysis and

monitoring.

• Another important aspect of ensuring water efficiency of the potential development would

be to constantly monitor water usage from different sources and at different locations.

Metering for monitoring the water consumption will enable the project proponents to assess

the performance of various systems and would support in identifying any leakages or

problems that would require any repairs or rectification(s).

• Besides water monitoring and audits, it is also extremely important to have a well-established

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) protocol and trained personnel on-site for performing

basic operations and maintenance on the installed treatment system. For effective

functioning of the STP, it is essential to have an effective O&M plan in place. It will help to

achieve efficiency and consistency in the performance of the treatment system, economising

the running cost of the system, ensuring the recycling potential of the treated discharge, and

maintaining the desired quality of the surrounding environment.

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid waste produced by the proposed beach resort is a potential source and cause of environmental

degradation if not scientifically treated and disposed. There is currently no facility in the island to

segregate, collect and recycle waste generated by households and tourists.

Summary of waste generation and disposal in the proposed facility.

Waste generation Quantity (tonnes/month) Disposal

Construction Phase 38.4 • Inert recyclable waste to be handed over to licensed vendors

• Construction debris to be used for back filling/levelling

• Waste oil barrels to be handed over to licensed vendors

Operation Phase 17.15 • Organic waste to be

composted using Organic

Waste Processor

• Recyclable waste to be

handed over to authorised

dealers

• Residue waste to be

transported to Port Blair or

mainland for safe disposal

Regulatory Framework a) Andaman & Nicobar Pollution Control Committee (ANPCC) has notified following guidelines for

solid waste management and good environment management practice in the Hotels/ Resorts:

AII Hotels, Resorts & Restaurants shall make necessary arrangement far segregation of waste at

source as prescribed under Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 and related rules notified by

the local bodies.

1. Facilitate collection of segregated waste in separate bins, handover recyclable material to

either the authorized waste pickers or the authorised recyclers of Port Blair Municipal

Council or by the Local Body.

2. The bio-degradable waste should be processed, treated and disposed of through

composting or bio-methanation within the premises as far as possible.

3. The residual waste shall be given to the waste collectors or agency as per the rules notified

by the local body.

4. AII the plastic waste should be disposed as per the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016

and the rules made and notified by the Local Body.

Page 14

5. The hazardous waste generated, if any, should be disposed of as per the Hazardous and

Other Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.

6. As and when renovation of work is undertaken, the construction and demolition waste

should be disposed of as per the provision of Construction and Demolition Waste

Management Rules, 2016.

b) Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 mandates source segregation of waste in order to

channelize the waste to wealth by recovery, reuse and recycle.

1. Waste generators are to segregate waste into three streams- Biodegradables, Dry (Plastic,

Paper, metal, Wood, etc.) and Domestic Hazardous waste (diapers, napkins, mosquito

repellents, cleaning agents etc.) before handing it over to the collector.

2. Hotels and restaurants have been directly made responsible for segregation and sorting

the waste and manage in partnership with local bodies.

3. They are also required to segregate biodegradable waste and set up a system of collection

to ensure that such food waste is utilised for composting / bio methanation.

4. Shall store separately construction and demolition waste, as and when generated and

dispose-off as per the Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016

c) Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 mandates the waste generator to

segregate construction and demolition waste and deposit at collection centre or handover it to

the authorised processing facilities.

Moreover, the project proponents would also have to comply with the following waste management

rules during and post-construction phase:

d) The Port Blair Municipal Council Solid Waste (Handling and Management) Bye Laws 2017

e) Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016.

f) E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016.

g) Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 1998 and 2016.

h) Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.

Solid Waste Generation

a) Construction Phase Construction activities can lead to solid waste generation including sand, concrete, gravel, stone,

bricks, plastic, paper, wood, metal and glass. However, since the project adopts green building

principles for complying to GRIHA standards, eco-friendly, prefabricated materials and semi-

permanent structures will be used for construction, and hence the waste generation during

construction would be minimal. The entire construction waste, masonry & plastering debris will be

used for land filling and lower grade of concrete, excavated soil will be used filling up low lying areas.

Glass, wood, aluminium, broken tiles, boxes, cans, etc. will be handed over to authorized vendor for

disposal. Excavated earth material shall be used for refilling. Adoption of precast structures and

prefabricated concrete are proposed for the project and it will help reduce construction waste by

50%.

waste is generated per capita per day by the commercial sector (including tourism sector), but recent

assessment of hotel industry in India2 indicates that a minimum of 1 kg per capita per day of solid

waste is generated by the tourists. 25% is added to this considering the contingency factor arising

from island ecosystem.

Proposed Solid Waste Management Solution The resort will have following onsite facilities-

I. Segregation chamber where waste is separated into paper, plastic, metal, glass, organic waste

and toxic waste.

II. Organic Waste Processor to compost food waste and garden waste. The decomposed soil

produced from the system can be used for landscaping and gardening.

III. Compactor to reduce the volume of the waste before it is sent for processing.

IV. Shredding machine for shredding garden waste which can be then sent to organic waste

processor.

The following flowchart exhibits the process of waste management adopted under holistic

development project led by the local panchayat. It also quantifies the segregation of waste at each

head.

Waste Management Process Flow Diagram

The resort operator shall handover the segregated, compacted waste to scrap dealer(s)/trader(s) in

Port Blair, from where the waste is further processed and segregated into different grades of plastic,

paper, metal, and glass. Non-recyclable waste is to be transported to Port Blair or mainland for safe

disposal. The waste can be transported by sea or by road to Port Blair, either directly by the project

proponent or through scrap dealer(s) at a periodic interval as per the requirement.

a) Other Management Measures Alternatively, the concessionaire will be mandated to reduce waste generation by:

• promoting efficient packaging and decreasing import of plastic in to the island.

5. POWER

The total energy required by the projects has been considered to be the total energy demand on the

project. In the conventional scenario, this demand would be met through electricity supplied to the

project by the utility grid and/or on-site diesel gensets. However, for this project, it is imperative to

have a captive energy generation and management system as the Islands do not have a Grid

connectivity to the Mainland Andaman at present. In order to achieve this, the project will have to

maximize the renewable energy potential on site. The energy generated by the on-site renewable

energy system would reduce the overall energy that the project would require from the non-

renewable sources, such as diesel gensets.

Technology Selection The following table summarises some basic details for each of the renewable technology options for

the proposed energy facility projects in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Renewable Technology Options Analysis

Technology CUF / PLF (%)

Generation Capacity (MU per MW)

Capital Cost (INR cr per MW)

Price per Unit Generated (INR per kWh)

Solar (PV on Land) 16.21% 1.48 4 - 5 5

Solar (Floating PV) 16.21% 1.48 15 16-18

Ocean (Wave - Faraday) 30 - 50% 2.62 - 6.13 28 - 30 15 - 25

Solar - Wind Hybrid 25% 2.19 7.5 5 -6

Solar - Battery Hybrid 16.21% 1.48 25 - 30 14 - 15

Owing to the following factors, a mix of Solar PV and Diesel Generator has been selected as the most

suitable technology option for the power supply in Long Island Project.

Capacity Estimation It is proposed that for the 220 keys premium luxury island resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island3, a solar

power facility of capacity 2.4 MW would be installed within the project premise to cater the energy

requirement of 785 kVA. The diesel power requirement for this hospitality anchor project is estimated

to be ~0.6 MW. The following table captures the solar and diesel split for this energy facility project:

3 The cost of the power and energy facility is only for the first phase of this anchor project which includes the development of 100 keys in a 3 year time frame

Page 20

Solar / Diesel Power Split for Long Island Project

Type Division Capacity (MW)

Solar Plant 50% 2.4

Diesel power 50% 0.6

System Voltage and Electrical Load Requirements

The alternating current frequency for power system will be 50 Hz with the nominal system voltage

and grounding will be as mentioned below in the table:

Nominal Voltage Phase Configuration Phase Configuration

For Hotel rooms 230 Volts Single Two Wires + Earth

For Hotel rooms and Common Services 415 Volts Three Four Wires + Earth

a) Electricity Metering and Lighting System Energy meters shall be provided for monitoring and recording of consumption of energy of all the

common amenities and common services. This will aid in monitoring and minimise the electrical

energy consumption.

There would be separate meters for the utility services like staircase, corridor & parking area lighting,

lifts (elevators), water pumps, STP, etc. from which all common services would function. These meters

are proposed to be installed in the Electrical room of the individual building if found feasible in the

detailed design.

For internal and external lighting system, Efficient lighting system is proposed for indoor and outdoor

areas through Energy efficient light fixtures such as CFL and LED and Fluorescent luminaries fitted with

electronic ballasts.

However, the light fixture selection would be in accordance with the requirements of the Interior

Designer or the Architect(s). The Lighting of various areas will be provided with the illumination level

as per IS Code, NEC & NBC 2005. For outdoor areas, solar lighting system feasibility would be

examined, as also energy efficient LED luminaries for the entranceway, parking areas etc.

b) Earthing System Standard Earthing system shall be provided in accordance with IS: 3043 with its latest amendments

and other statutory regulations. The Earthing system should be TNS type (i.e. separate neutral and

protective conductor). The separate earthing system would be provided for substation LT switchgear,

Transformers, DG sets, etc. Distribution earthing would be carried all along the LT distribution system

or through local earth station/Earth Mat for effectively bonding of the equipment.

Page 21

Each block would have a dedicated earthing station and all these stations shall be looped and to

connect with the existing retaining clusters. Each hotel room would be supplied with separate earth

wire through a common bus at the Main panel. The earthing for light and power points would be

carried out with insulated copper earth wire running throughout the length of the circuit and would

be terminated at the equipment, fixtures etc., with effective bonding to the main earth.

Solar PV Based on a detailed assessment with respect to all

the renewable energy technology options and a

detailed understanding of the specific requirements

of the project island, the most suitable renewable

energy source for the islands has been identified as

a mix of on-ground and rooftop solar PV.

The proposed solution combines advantage of solar

and diesel providing reliable and affordable

electricity.

The PV system complements the diesel gensets. It

can supply additional energy when loads are high or relieve the genset to minimize its fuel

consumption. In the future, excess energy could optionally be stored in batteries, making it possible

for the hybrid system to use more solar power even at night. Intelligent management of various

system components ensures optimal fuel economy and minimizes CO2 emissions.

In addition, PV systems are flexible and can be expanded on a modular basis as the energy demand

grows. Compared to pure gensets systems, a photovoltaic diesel hybrid system provides advantages:

• Lower fuel costs

• Reduced risk of fuel price increases and supply shortages thanks to optimized planning Minimal CO2 emissions (protects the environment and facilitates CO2 certificate trading).

6. FLOATING JETTY

Currently, there are no embarkation and disembarkation facilities at for project site and the boats are anchored

in the shallow waters. Hence, it is prudent to provide floating jetty as a component of the anchor project to

facilitate smooth transition of visitors and guests.

Salient advantages of providing floating jetty:

• Environmental impact of floating jetty is not same as permanent jetty. While permanent jetties call for

concrete construction, piers etc., floating jetty does not require permanent construction of any nature, nor

does it require pier foundations which would damage the sea bed below water surface.

• Surface area occupied by floating jetty would also be negligible, which would not hamper light penetration

and hence would not adversely affect sea weed/grass beds or corals.

• A suitably identified floating jetty in the area would ensure minimal damage to the fragile landscapes

thereby inhibiting any such informal beaching activities.

• The floating jetties shall be permitted only to small boats for meeting local and tourism needs and not for

commercial vessels. These small boats would not affect the seabed as adequate depth is available.

• Currently, floating jetties are used in multiple sites in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and across coastal areas

and islands across India as well.

• Floating jetty proposed at Lalaji Bay, Long Island are in sheltered waters and the wave action is very minimal.

• To further counter wave action and provide stability to the floating jetty, adequate suspended anchors

would be provided below the approach platforms and berthing decks.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PREMIUM ISLAND RESORT AT LALAJI

BAY, LONG ISLAND, ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS

1. Project Background

Long Island is located in the Middle Andaman district, nearly 12.5 kms from the nodal town

of Rangat. Long Island has a significant history. Being a former focal area of timber logging

and plywood factory, the island, until 1989-90 was the headquarters of the Divisional Forest

Office. The island had once been the timber extraction point for the Forest Department as

well as for timber Industries. Subsequently infrastructure had been developed on the island

to enhance connectivity, basic services and social welfare of the workers. Forest quarters

and residential units for industrial workers were setup in the island. In 2001, the Hon.

Supreme Court imposed a ban on timber extraction, leading to shutdown of timber extraction

in Long Islands. Long Island has two villages – Long Village at its southern edge and

Sigmundera in the middle part of the island.

NITI Aayog, the premier policy ‘think-tank’ for the Government of India, intends to implement

the process of holistic development of Indian Islands of Andaman & Nicobar and

Lakshadweep. NITI Aayog has entrusted Andaman and Nicobar Islands Integrated

Development Corporation Limited (A Government Undertaking) as a Nodal body for

development of Andaman & Nicobar Islands under PPP mode and IPE, Global for Expert

technical assistance. ANIIDCO with the technical expertise of IPE, Global Limited identified

Long Island as an existing bag packer’s destination with potential to support perfect luxury

tourism development and prepared a Report on Infrastructure requirement and Management

Measures for Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island.

ANIIDCO on behalf of NITI Aayog has entrusted WAPCOS Limited., a government of India

Undertaking under Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga

Rejuvenation and a NABET Accredited EIA Consultant for Building and Construction

Projects as a consultant for preparation of Environment Management Plan (EMP) for

obtaining integrated EC and CRZ clearance for Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long

Island.

2. Project Components

The proposed project of development of Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island

broadly includes the following components listed in Table-1 spread over an area of 42.2 ha

(39,600 sqm proposed built up area) at an envisaged capital cost of Rs.379 Crore.

3. Need for Environment Management Plan

All the development activities have some impact on environment, ecology and social

aspects. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) enumerates set of measures to be

adopted to minimize the adverse impacts. The most reliable way to ensure the

implementation of EMP is to integrate the management measures in various phases of

project development.

The measures include minimize the negative impacts or enhancement of positive impact due

to the project as found appropriate to the nature of impacts and are categorized as below:

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

4.1 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) For Construction Phase

4.1.1 Land Environment

All the construction activities shall be carried out within the project area. Preparation of site

will involve excavations and fillings. The earthen material generated during excavations and

site grading periods, shall be properly dumped and slope stabilization shall be taken. The

topsoil generated during construction shall be used for filling the low level area and will be

reused for plantations within the proposed project site.

The natural drainage pattern shall not be disturbed as far as possible. The approach road to

project site shall be appropriately widened and strengthened to facilitate vehicular

movement. The greenbelt area shall be delineated before start-up of earthwork and tree

plantation shall be taken up during construction stage itself.

Soil Erosion Control

The runoff from the construction site shall mainly consist of high suspended solids. It is

proposed to channelize the surface runoff through garland drains around the construction

site. The collected water can be stored in a storage pond, which will also act as storage

pond as well. The capacity of the storage tank shall be based on the natural rainfall in the

area. The decanted water form the tank can be reused for spray of unmetalled stretches of

roads or stock piles of construction material. During monsoon months, the garland drain

shall carry monsoon runoff. In rest of the year, however, the drain shall remain dry or carry


WAPCOS Limited 5

very little runoff. The silt settled in the drain can be periodically cleaned and used for land

filling or disposed along the construction waste material

Prevention of soil contamination

Vehicle/machinery and equipment operation, maintenance and refueling will be carried out in

such a fashion that spillage of fuels and lubricants does not contaminate the ground. Oil

interceptors will be provided for vehicle parking, wash down and refueling areas within the

construction camps. Fuel storage will be in proper bunded areas. All spills and collected

petroleum products will be disposed off in accordance with CPCB guidelines.

Solid waste management

The labour colonies will generate substantial amount of municipal wastes. In view of the

condition that normally exists in the labour camps of such projects, the solid waste is likely to

contain mainly vegetable waste followed by paper cans and glasses. About 200-250 persons

are likely to congregate during the construction phase at various construction sites resulting

in generation of about 0.13 tonnes of solid waste/day. Adequate facilities for collection and

conveyance of municipal wastes generated to the disposal site shall be developed. A

budgetary provision of Rs.26 Lakh shall be earmarked for solid waste management. The

breakup of budget is shown in table-2.

4.1.2 Water Environment

The major source of water pollution in the construction phases is the sewage generated by

the workers. During construction phase about 0.03 MLD of sewage is expected to be

generated. The sewage generated shall be treated in septic tank.


WAPCOS Limited 6

FACILITIES IN LABOUR CAMPS

a) Housing

The aggregation of about 200-250 workers in the project area during the construction is

envisaged. The aim of the EMP is to minimize these stresses. The contractor should ensure

the housing facilities for the laborers with minimum impacts on the surrounding environment.

b) Water supply

Appropriate water supply sources need to be identified. Proper infrastructure for storage and

if required treatment e.g. disinfection or other units, should also be provided.

c) Septic Tank

One community toilet needs to be provided for 20 persons. The sewage from the community

toilets can be treated in a septic tank. The treated effluent can be used for meeting irrigation

requirements of areas being afforested under greenbelt development. The total cost required

shall be Rs.55 lakh. The details are given in Table-2 below.

4.1.3 Restoration and landscaping of project area

The construction of the proposed project would disturb the existing topography and

physiography. Although no major alteration of the area is expected as the layout has been


WAPCOS Limited 7

so conceived that no major impacts on this account are anticipated. It is proposed to

landscape the area, so that it integrates with the natural surroundings. It is proposed to clear

construction waste material from entire area. It should be made mandatory for the contractor

involved in construction activities to remove all the construction waste and restore the

original topography of the area. In addition, following measures are recommended.

Garden Complex: A garden/park with local ornamentation plants and trees shall be created

in the project area. All plants will be properly labeled with scientific and/or common names.

Landscaping: Various locations in the project area will be leveled / graded by constructing a

series of benches. The walls that will be constructed for containing the slope will be

embedded with local stone to integrate with the aesthetics of the area. An amount of Rs.20

Lakh has been earmarked for restoration and landscaping (art work and similar activities) of

project site.

4.1.4 Air pollution

a) Control of Emissions

Minor air quality impacts will be caused by emissions from construction vehicles, equipment

and DG sets, and emissions from transportation traffic. Frequent trips will be required during

the construction period for removal of excavated material and delivery of concrete and other

equipment and materials. The following measures are recommended to control air pollution:

The contractor will be responsible for maintaining properly functioning construction

equipment to minimize exhaust.

Construction equipment and vehicles will be turned off when not used for extended

periods of time.

Unnecessary idling of construction vehicles to be prohibited.

Effective traffic management to be undertaken to avoid significant delays in and

around the project area.

b) Air Pollution control due to DG sets

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued emission limits for generators upto

800 KW. The same are outlined in Table-4 below, and are recommended to be followed.

The above standards need to be followed by the contractor operating the DG sets.

Noise from the DG set should be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by

treating the enclosure acoustically.

The Acoustic Enclosure should be made of CRCA sheets of appropriate thickness

and structural/ sheet metal base. The walls of the enclosure should be insulated with

fire retardant foam so as to comply with the 75 dB(A) at 1m sound levels specified by

CPCB, Ministry of Environment and Forests.

The acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room should be designed for

minimum 25 dB(A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards,

whichever is on the higher side.

The DG set should also be provided with proper exhaust muffler to attenuate noise

level by atleast 25 dB(A).

Efforts will be made to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set, outside its

premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control

measures.

A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set

measures that will be implemented.

Monitoring of noise levels will be conducted during the construction phase of the

project. In case of exceeding of pre-determined acceptable noise levels by the

machinery will require the contractor(s) to stop work and remedy the situation prior to

continuing construction.


WAPCOS Limited 11

The following Noise Standards for DG sets are recommended for the running of DG sets

during the construction:

The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator sets with

rated capacity upto 1000 KVA shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 m from the enclosure surface.

Noise from the DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by

treating the enclosure acoustically.

The Acoustic Enclosure shall be made of CRCA sheets of appropriate thickness and

structural/ sheet metal base. The walls of the enclosure should be insulated with fire

retardant foam so as to comply with the 75 dB(A) at 1m sound levels specified by

CPCB, Ministry of Environment and Forests.

The acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room shall be designed for

minimum 25 dB(A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards,

whichever is on the higher side.

The DG set should also be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of

minimum 25 dB(A).

Proper efforts to be made to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set, outside

its premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control

measures.

A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set

and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help prevent

noise levels of the DG set from deteriorating with use.

Noise due to crushers

Based on literature review, noise generated by crushers is in the range of 79-80 dB(A) at a

distance of 250 ft or 80 m from the crusher. Thus, noise level at a distance of 2 m from the

crusher shall be of the order of 110 dB(A). The exposure to labour operating in such high

noise areas shall be restricted upto 30 minutes on a daily basis. Alternatively the workers

need to be provided with ear muffs or plugs, so as to attenuate the noise level near the

crusher by atleast 15 dB(A). The exposure to noise level in such a scenario is limited upto 4

hours per day.

It is known that continuous exposure to noise levels above 90 dB(A) affects the hearing of

the workers/operators and hence has to be avoided. Other physiological and psychological

effects have also been reported in literature, but the effect on hearing acuity has been

specially stressed. To prevent these effects, it has been recommended by international

specialist organizations that the exposure period of affected persons be limited as specified

by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in Table-6.

4.1.8 Biodiversity Conservation

Mitigation measures

Monitoring of turbidity must be regulated at proper intervals at every high and low

tides, and piling activities should be avoided in case of any high turbidity indications

than the predicted values.

Monitoring of nutrient levels including micro and macro algal blooming symptoms

during the entire period of construction must be ensured.

In case of any such symptoms, suitable changes in the construction activities

(including stopping pilling activities) for short durations must be implemented.

However, there will be not by issues in continuing above water construction activities

during those phases.

Regulated loading of pilling materials in the planned tract must be ensured without

causing much damage to adjacent 100 m grids, i.e, only the grids with the planned

tract of laying inlet and outlet pipes can only be used for the transportation purpose of

piling and construction materials.

Should avoid any disposal of solid wastes including of construction materials in and

around the planned tracts so as to reduce solid waste accumulation in the mangrove

area.

Monitoring of the coral reefs area of the region during dry and wet seasons should be

continued so as to ensure the health of the coral reef in the region.

A short term awareness session must be conducted to the laborer involved in

construction of the inlet and outlet pipes before the start of the project so as to

ascertain the importance of coral resources and to conserve coral reefs its habitat.

4.2 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) For Operation Phase

4.2.1 Treatment of liquid wastes

It is estimated that about 204 KLD waste water will be generated from the proposed project

during operation phase. The sewage is to be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).

The treated sewage will be reused for flushing, horticulture purpose and AC make up. The

treated water will be stored in Under Ground Tank (UGT) and then pumped to main

distribution ring from where it will go to different terrace storage tanks proposed on the

terrace for flushing purpose, on the terrace of all the buildings. The separate storage tanks,


WAPCOS Limited 15

pumps, distribution pipe lines, terrace storage tank, separate flushing plumbing water line

inside the building will be provided for this system suitably.

4.2.2 Rain Water Harvesting System

Roof drainage will be through gutter/down take pipe. Rain water from roof will be collected in

the ground ferro cement tanks situated within clusters or individual keys.

4.2.3 Noise control measures

During operation phase, the major source of noise would be the increased vehicular

movement. The operating standard in this project is the noise level in the Silence Zone is an

area comprising of not less than 100 m around hospitals, educational institutions, court,

religious places or any other area which is declared as such by the competent authority. The

permissible Noise level for Silence Zone are 50 dB(A) in day time (6 AM to 10 PM) and 40

dB(A) in night time (10 PM to 6 AM). Appropriate measures shall be taken by the Proponent

to maintain the prescribed noise level.

4.2.4 Solid Waste Management

For solid waste treatment and management, it is extremely critical to provide the projects

with efficient infrastructure for solid waste management. An Integrated Solid Waste

Management (ISWM) plan shall be prepared for its implementation on site. The ISWM plan

would elaborate on the following strategies:

Primary and secondary collection of segregated solid waste.

Hygienic and safe transfer of collected solid waste for reuse/treatment.

The treatment plan of bio-degradable waste.

Possible recycling, or down-cycling, or up-cycling of the solid waste.

Transfer and/or transporting of waste – non-recyclable/recyclable/Medical Waste/E-

Waste to the SPCB licensed vendors.

An amount of Rs.20 lakh / year shall be earmarked for implementation of solid waste

Management Measures.

4.2.5 Greenbelt development

It is proposed to develop greenbelt around the perimeter of project site, selected stretches

and along the boundary.

The general consideration involved while developing the greenbelt are:

- Local/nature trees growing upto 10 m or above in height with perennial foliage

shall be planted.

- Generally fast growing trees shall be planted

- Since, the tree trunk area is normally devoid of foliage upto a height of 3 m, it

may be useful to have shrubbery in front of the trees so as to give coverage

to this portion.

The plantation shall be at a spacing of 2.5 * 2.5 m. About 1000 trees should be planted. The

plantation and maintenance of the plantation area shall also be done by the project

proponents in association with the local horticulture department State Government. An

amount of Rs. 5 Lakh can be earmarked for this purpose. The selection of species for

greenbelt development shall be done in consultation with the local horticulture department.
