3.4.4 Geomorphology

Major part of the district is under yamuna alluvial plain and small part of the district has quartzites

on the eastern border of the district.

3.4.5 Drainage

The major drainage of the district is Najafgarh drain. Najafgarh drain originates from

NajafgarhJheel on Delhi-Haryana border and meets the river yamuna.

3.4.6 Geology

The New Delhi District is occupied by quartzite and Quaternary alluvial sediments. Quartzites are

interbedded with mica schist and phyllites. The Alwarquartzites of Delhi System exposed in the

area belong to Ajabgarh Group of Delhi Supergroup of Proterozoic to Cenozoic age. Quaternary

sediments belong to Middle to Late Pleistocene Age..

3.4.7 Hydrogeology

The hydrogeological studies to understand the local geology, geomorphic features, drainage

network, aquifer characteristics and yield of water. Accordingly, various components are

controlling the hydrogeological regime.

Water Bearing Formation:

Hydrogeological map of the district is presented in Plate-1. The sub-surface configuration of New

Delhi district is different at various places. Subsurface disposition of aquifers is shown in Plate 2.

The western part adjoining to Delhi ridge is characterized by marginal alluvium where 0- to 30 m

thick veneer of alluvium overlies weathered and fractured quartzite rocks (Delhi Ridge).

The alluvium consists of clay, silt and fine to medium sand. A substantial amount of Kankar is also

admixed with the clayey-silt below 20m depth. This is the main aquifer material found in these

areas. The top soil zone predominantly consists of silty-clay material followed by thin partings of

clayey-silt, sandysilt and clay layers alternatively. Sandy-silt strata forms as favourable aquifer

zone. In the western part of New Delhi district, covering areas of RashtrapatiBhavan ,

Chanakyapuri, Shantipath, South and North Avenue and Connaught Place tubewells are tapping

both alluvium as well as hard rock whereas in the eastern part, tubewells generally tap alluvium.

The tubewells usually tap kankar zone admixed with clayey-silt and sandy-silt aquifer zone. The

yield of the tubewells in the district ranges from 55 to 435 LPM. The depth of bedrock ranges from

5 to 91 m in the district.

Depth to water level:

Ground water in the area occurs both under water table as well as under semi-confined conditions.

The depth to water level during pre monsoon in the district varies from 6.44 to 24.05 mbgl and

during postmonsoon period, it varies from 6.11 to 25.05 mbgl (Plates 3 & 4). There is a wide

variation in water level due to wide range of topographic relief. In the Yamuna flood plain area,

depth to water level ranges from 5 to 8 m bgl whereas in the Delhi ridge area, it varies from 10 to

25 mbgl.

3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The prime objective of the baseline air quality study is to assess the existing air quality of the

area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality

during the project operations.

This section describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology adopted for sampling,

analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. The ambient air quality was monitored at five

locations in and around the existing airport. The air quality monitoring was conducted as per

revised NAAQS 2009.

Methodology adopted for Air Quality Survey

The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a scientifically designed

ambient air quality-monitoring network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality

surveillance program has been based on the following considerations:

Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale

The methodology for conducting the baseline environmental survey and selection of sampling

locations considered the guidelines given in the EIA manual of the MoEF&CC.

Topography of the study area;

Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and

Representatives of likely impact areas.

The existing conditions within the study area are highly characterized by urban commercial

activities, traffic and industrial activities. These are observed in addition to the existing airport

operations.

3.6.6 Wind Speed

Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind blows and is based on surface

observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows in all directions with varying

frequencies. Certain directions, which occur more frequently than others, are known as the

prevailing wind directions. Pollutant concentrations typically decrease with increasing wind speed

as a result of dispersion. However, when wind speeds are high, while there is good dispersion of

gases and particles, there is more potential for re-suspending surface dusts. Wind speed near zero,

indicating low turbulence and may lead to very high pollutant concentrations near the ground.

Wind speed increases with height as surface friction reduces. Ground level pollutant concentration

is inversely proportional to the wind speed. Hence, during the higher wind speed month, the

ground level pollutant concentration would be less and vice.

The wind data has been obtained from nearest IMD station for the period 1993-2002. The Analysis

of wind records during 1993 – 2002 shows that the winds are generally light to moderate in this

area. It can be seen that the annual mean wind speed varies from 3.9 to 9.4 Km/h. The strongest

winds are observed during the months of May – June i.e. Summer Season and the weakest during

October – November. The Yearwise monthly mean value from year 2000 to 2005 are presented in

3.6.7 Windrose

Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period (March, 2019 to May, 2019) is

useful in identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the collected

meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions are calculated and

plotted as wind roses of eight directions viz., N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW for eight hourly and

twenty four hour duration respectively. Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage

relative humidity were recorded simultaneously. A windrose has been plotted for average of 24 hours

for 3 successive months that shows the predominant wind direction and has been presented in Figure-

3-7.

Wind direction is NW to SE and Wind speed was in the range of 3.6- 5.8 m/s.

During the construction and operation phase of proposed project, air pollution causing agents can

be vehicular movement and occasional use of DG sets. Stacks for DG sets will be provided with

proper height as per CPCB Guidelines and emissions from DG sets will meet the DG emission

standards.

3.7 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY

The prime objective of collecting baseline air quality data is to assess the ambient air quality of

the project influenced area. Ambient air quality monitoring locations were selected based on the

representation of population, material and ecosystem exposure monitoring for the pollutants

emitted from the project and the compliance monitoring for compliance of National Ambient Air

Quality Monitoring Standards. The baseline study of air quality within the project-influenced area

of 10 km has been carried out by selecting the monitoring locations based on the following

criteria:

Meteorological condition on a synoptic scale

Topography of the project influenced area

Representation of the regional background levels

Representation of the site

Influence of the existing sources

Major human settlement in the project influenced area

3.7.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

Ambient air quality monitoring (24 hrs –average result for monitoring period) has been carried

out during one season i.e. March-May 2019 at five locations.The parameters for air quality were

selected as per the stipulated National Ambient Air Quality standards, MoEF&CC and these were

Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µg/m3

(PM2.5), Particulate Matter less than 10 µg/m3

(PM10),

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) etc. were monitored

and average results are as tabulated in Table-3-13. Map showing the ambient air quality

3.7.2 Observations

It is observed that PM 10 and PM 2.5 exceed at all monitored locations and its continuous

exposure to human being can have health impacts. Further impacts will be on nearby biodiversity

where deposition of larger particle PM 10 and PM2.5 will result in retarded growth due to

reduced photosynthesis. All other parameters like SO2, NO2 and CO were found well within the

NAAQS limits as specified by CPCB.

3.8 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water environment consists of water resources such as ground water, ponds, streams, rivers etc.

Water quality assessment is one of the essential components of EIA 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 proposed water- drinking, and horticulture purpose. During the survey

samples of water within the periphery of 10 km. radius were analysed.

3.8.1 Water Quality Monitoring

In order to assess the existing water quality, ground water sample was collected from nearby

project site and analyzed as per standard methods for examination of water and wastewater

published by American Public Health Association/ American Water Works Association and the

Bureau of Indian Standards (APHA/ AWWA & BIS) and compared with permitted desirable

standards set by BIS (IS 10500: 1991). The surface and ground water monitoring locations have

been shown in Table-3-19. The important ground & surface water parameters were analyzed for

one season i.e. March to May 2019 and the average results are produced in Table-3-20, Table-3-

3.9 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The noise level prevailing at a particular location in the outdoor environment is contributed by all

kinds of sources at various distances around those locations. Continuous, temporal and spatial

variations occur in ambient noise levels depending on the type of surrounding activities. The

impact of noise on the health of individual depends on physical dose of noise viz. noise level,

frequency, intermittency etc. and human factors viz. sex, age, health status, type of activity,

occupational exposure etc. The intensity also depends on psychological and physiological state of

individuals.

The impact due to noise does undergo seasonal variations except some directional changes

depending upon the predominant wind direction. Noise levels have been measured for five

locations. The baseline study of noise levels in the study area of 10 km has been carried out by

selecting the noise monitoring locations based on the following criteria:

Source of noise

Proximity of the noise generating source to the human settlements

Exposure time

Time-scaled dose response ratio of individual receptor

3.9.1 Noise Quality

Unwanted noise and unpleasant sounds are generally classified as noise pollution. Normally a

person begins to identify sounds when a level of 10 to 15 dB is reached. The other end of the

scale is known as the threshold of pain (140 dB), or the point at which the average person

experiences pain. Noise is generally measured in frequency-weighted scales and noise quality

measurements are generally represent in the „A‟ level and reported as dB (A).

Methodology of Background Noise Quality Monitoring

A site–specific background noise quality monitoring program was conducted for the existing

project site.

The basic considerations for designing noise quality surveillance programme include:

Vehicle Movement Within the Impact Zone

Activities in surrounding villages / settlements/nearby areas

Ecologically Sensitive Locations

Based on the above mentioned criteria, noise monitoring was conducted at five locations within

the impact zone. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements were automatically recorded to give

the noise level for every hour, continuously for 24 hours in a day. Accordingly one full day (i.e.

24 hourly values) of data was collected at each of the locations.

The standards of equivalent noise levels viz. Leq-day and Leq-night, have been prescribed by the

CPCB as given in Table-3.24.

2. Night-time shall mean from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m.

3. Silence zone is defined as an area comprising not less than 100 m around hospitals, educational

institutions and courts. The silence zones are zones, which are declared as such by the competent

authority.

Noise levels were calculated using the following equation:

Where Li = levels observed at n equally spaced times during

interval T.

Sources of Noise Emissions Surrounding the Site

The major source of noise in the site surrounding area is the vehicular movement along Southern

peripheral road and construction activities in the vicinity of the site. The impacts from these

sources are expected to be captured in the levels of noise measured in the site-specific background

noise monitoring study.

Noise Level in the Project Influence Area

Assessment (EIA) is to assist the decision making and to ensure that project option under

consideration is environmental friendly. An Ecological survey of study area was conducted

particularly with reference to listing of species and assessment of existing baseline ecological

condition in study area. The main objective of ecological survey were aimed at assessing the existing

flora and fauna component to study area to understand the possible impact on biological environment

caused by proposed project activity and to formulate if necessary the appropriate

mitigation/preventive measures for such impact. Data for same has been collected through secondary

source and by site visit.

SCOPE AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

1- To inventories the floral and faunal components of the project area (Project site or core zone

and 10 km radius buffer zone)

2- To locate demarcate and understand ecological setting of the project area in term of National

park/Wildlife sanctuary/Reserve forest/ Ecosensitive area/wetland etc within 10 km radius of

project site (if any).

3- To identify schedule-I, rare, endemic and endangered species within the study area and

prepare conservation plan for the same.

4- To identify impact zone and evaluate the likely impact of the proposed project on floral and

faunal component of project study area.

5- To suggest/prepare action plan to mitigate likely impact on biodiversity of project area

through plantation around project area.

The information present in this chapter has been collected through field study, consultation with

local people and collation of available literature with various institution and organization. The

summary of data collected from these sources as a part of EIA study is outlined. With change in

environmental condition the vegetation cover as well as animal reflects several changes in it‟s

structure, density and composition respectively.

SURVEY MEHODOLOGY:

For field assessment i,e primary data collection, a standard statistical sampling method was

followed .The sampling design followed random sampling method and sampling area was decided

based on prior land use map of the project influence zone outlining forest area and other type of

habitat, topographic features and built up area.

Field study: The detailed ecological survey was carried out in the following two zones of project

area:

Core zone: At the project site.

Buffer zone: Around the project site in 10 km radius.

4.3 IMPACTS DUE TO PROJECT LOCATION

4.3.1 Change of Land use

The development in the entire project influenced area is in conformity of Delhi Master Plan-2021,

hence there will be no change in designated land use. Land use has already been changed as the

project has already grant EC which is directly associated with positive developments in human use

environment and may be considered as a positive impact. The plot of project shall be development as

per the prevailingbuilding by-lawsand as also the provisions laid down in the Delhi Master Plan –

2021.

4.3.2 Displacement of People

Since, the project and its associated activities are limited to acquired and approved area of 68158.35

sq m and is free from encroachment, and ready for development of project in all respect, hence no

displacement of any person is anticipated. Hence there is no rehabilitation and resettlement related

issues are involved. The site falls under commercial use. No portion of the site comes under forest/

reserve forest or agricultural land.

4.3.3 Landscaping and Shelterbelt Development

The proposed site is earmarked for development of commercial complex. Under landscaping and tree

plantation in an area of 34065.133 sq m has been provided for development of green area.

4.3.4 Impact on Archaeological Property

There are few anthropological or archaeological sites or artefacts located near the project site

mentioned in chapter 3 of the report. Since all the activities related to project during construction or

operational stage shall be confined to the designated site, and the nature and magnitude of the

activities is envisaged to be temporary and insignificant, hence no major or long term impact to any

archaeological property is anticipated.

4.4 IMPACT DUE TO PROJECT CONSTRUCTION

4.4.1 Pressure on Local Infrastructure

During the construction stage, demand for basic amenities, such as water, power etc., for the

construction labour will take place. Thus, the proposed project is supposed to have beneficial impacts

along with the requirement of construction activities, put pressure on the existing infrastructure.

Considering the nature of the project, impact shall be short term and low in magnitude and are limited

to construction phase only.

4.4.2 Denudation & Contamination of Soil

The major problem associated with the construction project is the excavation of soil. Quantities of

earthwork involved in cutting, filling, etc. The Topsoil (soil on the top 20 cm depth) will be collected

& preserved separately in a stack covered by tarpaulin. Efforts will be made to reinstate the soil for

backfilling purposes. Topsoil will be reused for horticultural areas.

The spillage of oil from the machinery or cement residue from concrete mixer plants might

contaminate the soil if not properly collected and disposed off. Thus most stringent safety and

construction management norm will be implemented at site.

4.4.3 Impact on Water Quality

Following are the most susceptible locations for contamination of water during construction:

Waterlogged areas during the period of construction and erosion - Landfill material may

increase the turbidity of the water logged area and thereby may invite vector of disease.

Ground water resources close to construction material storage yard, concrete mixer plants and

maintenance sites of construction vehicles; and Leakage of lubricant or spill may cause water

pollution of surface and ground water body.

Since all construction related activities will be confined to the enclosed construction area, no

major impacts on the water bodies present in project influenced area are anticipated.

Whatever impact due to accidental spills or due to bad construction practice, will be short

term and low in magnitude and confined to the construction period only.

Construction &Development of site

Development of the proposed site could lead to stockpiling and excavation activity on site, thereby

causing sedimentation erosion of base soil. The runoff from the site may contain high quantity of

sediments. The impact of runoff may not be very significant except during rainy season. Further

construction of garland drains will reduce the runoff from the stockpiles.

Site Workshop

The repair and maintenance of equipment/ vehicles on site would generate waste containing oil and

grease. The wastewater stream would also be generated from vehicle washing. The impact can be

mitigated to a great extent by installing oil and grease traps during construction phase.

Construction of Roads &Parking areas

The impact from the road construction depends upon the construction practices and the type of

material used and is likely to create significant impact. This type of waste would be stock piled and

disposed properly.

4.4.4 Impact on Air Quality

Potential impacts on the air quality during the construction stage will be due to the fugitive dust and

the exhaust gases generated in and around the construction site due to vehicular movement and DG

set operations.

Dust is major component of air pollution, generated mainly from the following construction activities:

Site clearance and use of vehicles and machinery / equipment etc. at construction site;

Storage & Handling of construction materials such as sand, cement, etc. at the construction

site;

Other gaseous emissions during construction resulting from operating of construction

vehicles, plant, equipment, and DG set.

The impacts will be short term and limited in nature. Selection of appropriate location of plant and

machinery and their regular maintenance shall minimize such impacts.

4.4.5 Noise Pollution

Noise is perceived as one of the most undesirable consequences of construction activity. Though the

level of discomfort caused by noise is subjective, the most commonly reported impacts of increased

noise levels are interference in verbal communication and disturbance in sleep.

Due to the various construction activities, there will be short-term adverse noise impacts in the

immediate vicinity of the project corridor. The construction activities include:

Overall, the impact of noise on the environment will be insignificant, reversible and mainly confined

to the day hours. Noisy construction activities will be carried during the day time only and this will

effectively reduce the night time ambient noise level.

As per best practice all the noise generating activities shall be undertaken during day hours and

enclosure shall be provided wherever applicable to further minimize noise pollution.

These impacts will be short term during construction phase, with provision of proper enclosures for

high noise generation sources and use of proper personal protective devices i.e. ear plug and ear muff

will marginalize the impact.

Mathematical modeling is carried out for DG sets. These DG sets are assumed to be operating for four

hours in day during peak loads i.e. two hours in morning and two hours in evening.

4.4.6 Traffic Congestion/ Increase

During the construction phase, no vehicle is allowed to park / halt outside the construction area.

Designated parking bays with loading and unloading area will be plan. Moreover, the site is well

connected by national highway NH 1; traffic plan will be prepared for the movement of construction

vehicles to ensure there shall be no disruption of existing traffic.

4.4.7 Public Health and Safety measures to be adopted during construction

Construction related activities will be confined only to project site area, hence no health related

impact are envisaged within the project influenced area during the construction stage and will be

limited to occupant levels.

At the project site workers shall be engaged in the construction activities, direct exposure to dust

generation and high noise generation sources likely to cause occupant health related impact such as

asthma, bronchitis and noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) etc. on the construction workers. In order to

offset such effects the following measures will be adopted.

Construction Camp

A conceptual layout of a typical construction site has will be prepared and based on this layout, the

contractor will provide, erect and maintain necessary (temporary) living accommodation and ancillary

facilities for worker up to a certain standard and scale as approved by the project engineer. It shall

ensure that uncontaminated water as per IS 10500:2012 is available for drinking, cooking and

washing. Adequate sanitation facility such as washing and bathing places shall be provided, and kept

in clean and drained condition. Construction camps are to be sited away from vulnerable people and

adequate health care is to be provided for the work force.

Shelter at Workplace

Provision of shelter will be made at every workplace and have provision of meal as well as resting

place along with provision of drinking water. The height of shelter shall not be less than 10 m from

floor level to lowest part of the roof. Sheds shall be kept clean and the space provided shall be on the

basis of at least 0.5m2 per head.

First Aid Facilities

A readily available first-aid unit including an adequate supply of sterilized dressing materials and

appliances will be provided as per the prevailing rules. Provision of intermittent medical facility with

first aider (24 hours) and medical doctor will be made for every 270 workers. Provision of ambulance

(24 hours) will be provided to facilitate taking injured and ill persons to the nearest hospital. The First

Aid facility should minimum medical equipment / medicines as per norms to tackle first-aid

requirements or minor accidental cases. There will also be tie-ups with nearest higher order hospital to

refer patients of major illnesses or critical cases.

Health Care

Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care services

through medical doctor which will be supported by First Aider (24 hours) engaged during

construction. Provision shall also be made to facilitate MCW (Mother and Child Welfare) for treating

mothers and children.

Day Crèche Facilities

The provision of a day crèche shall be worked out so as to enable women to leave behind their

children. At construction sites where 20 or more women shall be ordinarily employed, Crèche Facility

will be provided for use of children under the age of 6 years belonging to such women. The crèche

facility shall have sufficient openings for light and ventilation, drinking water, toilets. It shall be

ensure that crèche facility shall be kept the places clean round the clock. There shall be maidservants

(or ayes) in the satisfaction of local medical, health, municipal or cantonment authorities. Size of

crèches shall vary according to the number of women workers employed.

4.4.8 Socio-economic Impacts

The social impacts during the construction stage could result due to influx of some migrant workers

and associated induced development etc. This will ensure a rise in the consumption of consumer

goods in the local area, which will tend to boost up the local economy.

As local labours will be hired from the villages in vicinity of the project site, initial conflict is not

envisaged. As far as possible local labour within the project influenced area shall be utilized for the

construction purpose and all the activities related to construction worker shall be confined to the

project site only, hence no adverse social impacts are envisaged due to the proposed project. Children

below 14 will not be appointed for construction.

4.5 IMPACTS DUE TO PROJECT OPERATION

During the Operation phase, there might be impacts on the air, water and land environment and socio-

economic aspects. The subsequent sections present the adverse, beneficial, short term and long term

impacts due to the operation of the proposed project.

4.5.1 Air Environment

Air pollution can cause significant effects on the ambient environment, and subsequently on

humans, animals, vegetation and materials. It primarily affects the respiratory (e.g. by fine dust),

circulatory (e.g. by carbon monoxide) and olfactory (e.g. by odors) systems in humans. In most

cases, air pollution aggravates pre-existing diseases or degrades health status, making people

more susceptible to other infections or the development of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular

diseases. Environmental impacts from air pollution can include acidic deposition and reduction in

visibility.

Assessment of prevailing ambient air quality status in the vicinity of proposed project site is an

important part of environmental impact assessment study. The tropical climatic conditions,

especially winds prevailing in India mainly control the dispersion of air pollutants during different

seasons.

Atmospheric dispersion modelling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse

in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that solve the mathematical

equations and algorithms which simulate the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used

to estimate or to predict the concentration of air pollutants emitted from sources on the desired

area. Such models are important to governmental agencies tasked with protecting and managing

the ambient air quality. The models are typically employed to determine whether the ambient air

quality level due to proposed project will compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality

PARSVNATH

LANDMARK

DEVELOPERS LTD



DELHI

EIA

98

Standards (NAAQS) or not. Over and above models also serve to assist in the design of effective

control strategies to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants.

Methodology

For the proposed atmospheric dispersion modelling study, United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) approved and also recommended by the Ministry of Environment

and Forests (MoEF&CC), Government of India, regulatory air quality model AERMOD is

applied to predict ground level incremental concentrations (GLCs) of concerned critical

pollutants. Prior to air quality modelling exercise, meteorological condition during one season

over project site is extensively studied. Concentrations are estimated for the critical pollutants

assessed over appropriate averaging times (i.e. 8 hours and 24 hours) based on the applicability of

the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Meteorology

Meteorology is the fluid mechanics applied to the atmosphere. Meteorological conditions play an

important role in determining existing air quality and environmental conditions. The essential

relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersion involves the wind in the broadest

sense of the term. Wind fluctuations over a very wide range of time and space scales accomplish

dispersion and strongly influence other processes associated with them. The characterization of

the existing meteorological conditions near a source of pollutants is, therefore, a critical aspect for

assessing air quality in the ambient environment. For the rapid air quality impact assessment

meteorological data for the desired season/period over the project region are used for air quality

modelling. The following subsections describe the prime meteorological parameters during the

observation period which govern the dispersion of pollutants.

Atmospheric stability

A measure of the tendency of air to move upward or downward within the atmosphere generates

turbulence. The atmosphere may be more or less turbulent at any given time, depending on the

amount of incoming solar radiation as well as other factors. There are six defined Pasqual

atmospheric stability classes, from A to F, each representing a different degree of turbulence in the

atmosphere. When moderate to strong incoming solar radiation heats air near the ground, causing it

to rise and generating large eddies, the atmosphere is considered unstable. Unstable conditions are

associated with atmospheric stability classes A, B and C. In this stability class air has strong

tendency to move up or down, and the atmosphere is more turbulent. When solar radiation is

relatively weak or absent, air near the surface has reduced tendency to rise and less turbulence

develops. In this case, the atmosphere is considered stable, the wind is weak, and the stability class

would be E or F. Stability classes D represents conditions of neutral stability (moderately turbulent).

Neutral conditions are associated with relatively strong wind speeds and moderate solar radiation.

The frequency of stability classes during the study period is provided in Table-4.4.

Table 4.4 Frequency of Stability Classes

Stability Class Frequency (%)

A – Extremely Unstable 5.5

B – Unstable 23.6

C – Slightly Unstable 12.9

D – Neutral 9.0

E – Slightly Stable 15.1

F – Stable 33.9

PARSVNATH

This data indicates that over the monitoring period, the site exhibits trends of slightly stable

atmospheric conditions with 15.1% time during monitoring period. Stable conditions exhibit poor

vertical mixing, and low levels of contaminant dispersion. Use of this stability data for modeling

purposes will produce higher concentrations of pollutants at a given receptor (i.e. more conservative

results).

Mixing height

Mixing Height (MH) is the vertical extent through which the contaminant plume can be mixed.

Forecasting of mixing height is done with the aid of the vertical temperature profile. The MH is a

function of stability. In unstable air the MH is higher and in stable air the MH is lower. With a lower

MH, there is a smaller volume of air in which the pollutant can be dispersed, resulting in higher

concentrations in the ambient environment. There is a seasonal variation of MH. During summer

daylight hours, MH can be few thousand feet whereas for winter it can be a few hundred feet. It

varies also in the course of a day. It is lowest at night and increases during the day. Secondary

information has been used to determine the mixing height over the study region for the study period

(Mar-2019 to May-2019) and it varies from 50-2500 meters (IMD).

Potential Air Environment Impact Assessment

During operation phase of project will provide DG capacity of 5270 KVA

(1X1250+2X1010+1X750+2X500+1X250) as the main air pollution sources of air pollution. DG

sets will be expected to run as back-up power supply during power failure. Thus, for air quality

modeling study, it is assumed that the DG sets will be operated as on average four hours (0900-

1200 Hrs) during daytime and four hours (1900-2200 Hrs) in the evening time per day. PM, SO2,

NO2 and CO will be expected as prime criteria air pollutants during the operation phase of the

project.

PM, SO2, NO2 and CO will be expected as prime criteria air pollutants during the operation

phase of the project. Modeling result envisages that incremental ground level concentrations of

modeled pollutants during operation phase of proposed project during the operation phase are

negligible. The resultant concentration level of SO2, NO2 and CO pollutants are expected to be

well within the NAAQS.

4.5.5 Socio Economic Impacts

Positive Impacts on Infrastructure

The operation of the project, provide value addition to the existing infrastructure facility such as,

commercial spaces, public transport, water supply, telecommunications, etc.

Job opportunity: The occupational profile of the region is such that the villagers can be a good

source of work force during construction and operation phase. This community can look forward to

benefit due to more jobs and also better access to utilities. The benefit relate to the direct employment

associated with the construction.

Considering the increasing emphasis of employment and education in the village, the locals would

have the opportunities for administrative, facility management or other supervisory jobs, closer to

their place of stay. Expenditure incurred by those employed at the project will boost local economy in

the village. Jobs would be created for unskilled, semi skilled as well as skilled labor category, for

which locals would be given preference and there by the overall development of the region is

envisaged.

Benefits to women: The proposed project would generate jobs for the women in terms of retail staff

during operational phase.

Increase in Land Value: The prices of the land are likely to increase with the coming up of the

project. Hence the proposed project will have beneficial impact.

Negative Impacts on Infrastructure

Traffic and Transport

With the development of the proposed project, the traffic in the area is likely to increase, particularly

during the operation phase. The increase in traffic may create congestion, potential delays. However

this probability of inconvenience faced due to the movement of trucks during construction phase

would be negligible, since the trucks would be allowed to transport construction material during night

and non-peak hours. The traffic study and Transportation Management Plan being developed for the

project would further reduce the negative impact of the traffic increment during the operation phase.

Transient Labor population

Workforce for the project would be mostly from surrounding areas or from the neighboring

settlements. No significant pressure on local infrastructure is envisaged if a small percentage of labors

settle in and around the project site during the operation phase.

5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (TECHNOLOGY & SITE)

5.1 USE OF ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY MATERIALS

Eco friendly building materials and construction technology will be used to the extent possible in the

expansion area:

i. Use of Ferro Cement: Reducing material use by use of Ferro-cement wherever possible.

These are energy efficient and also help reduce the dead load of a building.

ii. Use of Fly Ash Bricks: Emphasis will be given on using eco- friendly materials like fly ash

bricks in this project. There are lot of advantages which fly ash brick and fly ash lime brick

enjoys over conventional bricks and are enlisted below:

Cost less to produce – at least 10% less than concrete bricks and 20% less than clay

bricks.

Save construction cost – Due to the uniform shape and size of the fly ash brick, it saves

labor work load in laying bricks by about 15%.

Use less energy – High amount of energy is consumed in heating clay bricks in kilns. By

using fly ash bricks instead of clay bricks, energy is saved in brick manufacturing.

Reduce air pollution – Fossil fuel is used in heating clay bricks in kilns. Burning such

fuel generates air pollution and greenhouse gas (CO2), contributing to global warming. By

manufacturing fly ash bricks (at room temperature) instead of clay bricks (at over 2,000

oF), emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gas is avoided at brick plants, which helps

to reduce air pollution and global warming.

Cleans indoor air – Recent research has shown that by using fly ash bricks indoors, the

bricks adsorb mercury from the indoor air, causing the indoor air to be cleaner than the

outdoor air.

iii. Use of low VOC paints and adhesives and use of materials that prevent leaching.

iv. Material that are exceptionally durable, or require low maintenance e.g. PVC pipes will be

used.

v. Perforated bricks will be used for wall structures.

vi. Brick panel with joists, fillers lab roofing, brick funicular shell roofing, RCC channel units,

micro-concrete roofing tiles are some of the alternative techniques for roofing.

vii. Some of the alternate materials for openings in construction are:-

Use of precast thin lintels, use of Ferro-cement, sun shade cum lintel etc.

Use of engineering wood / renewable timber for doors and windows.

Use of steel manufactured from recycled content.

Figure 5-1 Design of STP

Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during the project planning and operation stages. The

conservation efforts would consist of the following:

5.3.1 Solar Passive Technique

For the additional tower, orientation of building to the extent possible will be taken into

consideration in order to avoid the direct exposure to solar radiation from east and west

during summer months. Provision of shading devices such as balcony will be made in the new

tower.

The design features of the building will consider adequate cross ventilation within and outside

the buildings by providing doors and windows on both the windward and leeward sides of the

building.

Proper thermal insulation of roof structures will be followed to reduce the U value

5.3.2 Architectural Design Techniques

The existing designed has captured the positive seasonal climatic forces to mitigate building‟s

resource consumption and environmental impacts. Various measures which have been included in the

design are as follow:

Glass with improved U- value and SHGC to reduce energy demand in perimeter spaces and to

reduce localized solar gains and urban heat island effect.

Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air-conditioning.

Design for Day lighting- building façade configuration to allow for deeper penetration of

natural daylight.

Building massing to allow for self-shading of exposed surfaces.

Efficient lighting to reduce the installed lighting power (Watt/m2) thereby reduces the

building electric use

characteristics of the Roof and Wall, respectively as specified in the Energy Conservation Building

Code (ECBC) as applicable for such buildings.

Table 5-1Thermal Characteristics of the Roof

The roof will also have the application of High SRI (Solar Refractive Index) Paints. The roofs with

high SRI Paints are capable of delivering high solar reflectance (the ability to reflect the visible,

infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, reducing heat transfer to the building) and high

thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed or non-reflected solar energy). The benefits

associated with roofs with High SRI Paints (Cool roofs) include reduced cooling energy load, reduced

air pollution and greenhouse gas emission, and improved human health and comfort. They may

extend the roof service life and help mitigating the urban heat island effect. It also achieves cooling

energy savings in hot summers.

7.1 RISK ASSESSMENT

RISK

A probability or threat of damage, injury, liability, loss or any other negative occurrence that is caused

by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be avoided through preemptive action.

HAZARD

A hazard is any object, situation, or behavior that has the potential to cause injury, ill health, or

damage to property or the environment.

RISK HAZARD & ITS CONTROL MEASURES

It is attempted to plan and construct the buildings 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

activity during construction and operation phase along with mitigation measures are given in Table-

7.2 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (DMP)

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, social care and other necessities

of life.

Disasters can be divided into two main heads. In the first head, the disasters result from natural

phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storm surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods,

avalanches, landslides, forest fires.

The second head includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon the

environment. Examples are armed conflict, industrial accidents, radiation accidents, factory fires,

explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other

structural collapses, air, sea, rail and road transport accidents and can reach catastrophic dimensions in

terms of human loss.

There is no set criteria for assessing the gravity of a disaster in the abstract since this depends to a

large extent on the physical, economic and social environment in which it occurs. However, all

disasters bring in their wake similar consequences that call for immediate action, whether at the local,

national or international level, for the rescue and relief of the victims.

The project encompasses the lives of a large number of people. It also involves installation of various

structures and machineries that meet the comfort and need of its population but may also pose serious

threat to the occupants in case of an accident. It is thus considered necessary to carry out a risk

assessment and disaster management plan for the project.

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

PARSVNATH

LANDMARK

DEVELOPERS LTD



DELHI

121

effective implementation of the Disaster Management Plan, it should be widely circulated and

personnel training through rehearsals/drills.

To tackle the consequences of a major emergency inside the site or immediate vicinity of the site, 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 project site and the outside services to achieve the following:-

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.

7.3 EARTHQUAKE

7.3.1 Seismicity

Based on the tectonic features and records of earthquake, a Seismic Zoning map has been developed

for the country by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). The area under study falls under seismic Zone-IV

(refer Figure-7.1) and thereby almost stable in nature. The map showing the peak ground acceleration

(PGA) in the region vis a vis project site is shown in Figure 7.2. However suitable seismic

coefficients will be adopted while designing the structures.

Seismicity of the proposed site will be taken into consideration during designing of the structural

components of the development in the construction phase. The depth of the foundation, footing of the

structural components, the bending moment calculations shall adhere to the criteria of seismic load.

Necessary seismic factors, suggested by Indian Meteorology Department (IMD IS1893-Part I, 2002)

shall be incorporated suitably, while designing the structures to safeguard against earthquake risks

7.3.2 Response Procedures for Occupants

If indoors:

i. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.

ii. 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.

PARSVNATH LANDMARK

DEVELOPERS LTD



DELHI EIA


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

i. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.

ii. 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.

i. Provide first aid where appropriate and not to move seriously injured persons unless they are

in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.

ii. Remember to help those first who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly, and

people with disabilities.

iii. Stay out of damaged buildings.

iv. Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

7.3.3 Response Procedure for Emergency Team

i. Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response.

ii. Using the public address system, inform occupants of response procedures discussed above.

iii. Inform the necessary authorities for aid.

iv. Ensure no person is stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure.

v. Ensure that all occupants standing outside near the buildings are taken to open areas.

vi. Ensure that the first aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if necessary.

vii. Inform the nearby hospitals if there are any injuries.

viii. Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage.

7.4 FLOOD

Flooding occurs when an extreme volume of water is carried by rivers, creeks and many other

geographical features into areas where the water cannot be drained adequately. Often during times of

heavy rainfall, drainage systems in the region are not adequate, or unchecked civil development

severely impedes the functionality of an otherwise acceptable drainage system. Floods cause

PARSVNATH LANDMARK

DEVELOPERS LTD



DELHI EIA


extremely large numbers of fatalities in every country, but due to India's extremely high population

density and often under development standards, a large amount of damages and many deaths

occurred. India witnesses flood due to excessive rain which then results in overflow of rivers, lakes

and dams, which adds to cause large amounts of damage to people's lives and property.

As per Flood Hazard Map of India (Fig: 7.3), The project site and vicinity does not falls under flood

prone area. Hence flood possibilities are very minimal. Figure 7.3 shows the Flood Hazard Map of

India.

On sighting a fire, it should be immediately informed to the facility manager giving the exact

location and type of fire in detail.

Initiate the Emergency Response Team for fires.

If the fire is small, engage in extinguishing the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher.

Guide the Emergency Response Team staff to the emergency assembly point.

The Emergency Response Team should immediately inform the nearest dispensary and

security force. If required a fire tender should be summoned.

The response team should immediately move to the point of fire and 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.

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.

Fire Protection Measures

Adequate fire fighting system is proposed for the project as per norms to prevent and control fire

outbreaks. The fire fighting system will consist of portable fire extinguishers, hose reel, wet riser, yard

hydrant, automatic sprinkler system for the project, and manual fire alarm system.

9 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 PREAMBLE

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the

project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all contractors and

subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the

proposed project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. The plan outlines existing

and potential problems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective

measures where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and

contractors who are charged with the responsibility to manage the project site. The EMP is:

To detail out the present environmental scenario.

To prepare a detailed action plan for implementation of mitigation measures and to comply

with environmental rules and regulation.

To suggest a monitoring programmed to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

To suggest the formation of an Environmental Management core group (Environment

Management Cell) responsible for implementation of environmental control & protective

measures as well as monitoring of such implementation.

To prepare an estimate of capital cost and annual recurring cost for Environmental

Management Plan.

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

The key benefits of the EMP are that it provides the organization with means of managing its

environmental performance thereby allowing it to contribute to improved environmental quality. The

other benefits include cost control and improved relations with the stake holders.

Commitment & Policy: The proposed project management will strive to provide and

implement the Environmental Management Plan that incorporates all issues related to air,

noise, land, and water.

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

setting environmental objectives.

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

10 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

M/S PARSVNATH LANDMARK DEVELOPERS LTD, intends for Proposed Expansion of Group

Housing Project "La Tropicana" at Magazine Road, Khyber Pass, New Delhi

The plot area will be 68158.35 sq. m. The project, as planned, will have a total built up area of

293649.690 sq. m. The project comprises of 552 Nos. saleable dwelling units and 500 Nos. of EWS

Units. Facilities have been planned in the campus to make it self-sufficient and take care of day-to-

day requirement of the people residing in the campus. The project is in conformance with Delhi

Master Plan 2021 earmarked for residential development. The proposed site is selected as per the

sitting guidelines.

The REIA report has been prepared as per the approved term of reference vide letter dated 09th June,

2021.

For this study, the impact zone shall confine within the radius of 10 km from the project boundary.

For the purpose of certain environmental components, the radius has extended up to 10 km as well.

The EIA is conducted using the baseline monitoring data collected from March 2019 to May2019,

assessing the potential impacts on different environmental components, designing the mitigation

measures so as to keep impacts within acceptable limits and strengthening the positive impacts. The

project will create an environment to ensure sustainable development.

It can be concluded from the assessment of impacts that the proposed project would have an overall

positive impact. The project will not have any significant negative environmental impacts. The

associated potential adverse environmental impacts can be mitigated to an acceptable level by

adequate implementation of the measures as stated in the Environmental Management Plan. After

incorporation of environmental management plans, the environmental sustainability will be improved.

Hence, the proposed project is a welcome development and may be accorded environmental

clearance.
