1.5 Importance to country region
India is a major manufacturing house for bakery products and is the third- largest biscuit
manufacturing country after USA and China (NPCS, 2013). The Indian bakery market is
valued at Rs. 3,295 crore and out of this, bread and biscuits hold 82% of the share
(Assocham, 2012).
India bread market stood at $ 570.73 million in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of
over 11.29%, in value terms, during 2017-2022, to reach $ 974.39 million by 2022. Market
forces and demographic trends are continuously influencing supply and demand; expanding
working population and increasing number of health-conscious consumers are aiding India
bread market. Changing lifestyles due to increased disposable income in advanced countries
led to an increase in demand for processed foods (Wilkinson, 1987). Changes in food
consumption patterns contribute to the development of food processing industry (Gopalan,
1994). Processing not only reduces the perishability but also increases shelf life of a product
and makes it available to the consumer in a ready-to-consume and convenient form
throughout the year is some of the other factors expected to propel demand for bread over
the next five years i.e. 2022.
Thus the proposed product finds its increasing demand in Bakery Industry especially Breads
and Cake application. Present manufacturing facility at Dombivali is falling short for catering
the increasing demands of domestic needs for these additives and also meets the additional
export market needs. Thus company have decided to initiate this proposed project at
additional MIDC, Patalganga.
Export Possibility
Fine’s range of innovative additives have expanded their applications in food, plastics,
cosmetics, textiles, paints, inks, rubber and many more. Thus, 80% of our products are
exported to various countries. Thereby company is adding value to our nation’s Global
business & also benefiting the economy. Similarly the proposed products of this project will
find its export business to cater the increasing demand of bread industry. Thus the
establishment of the proposed project is very well beneficiary & justified.

3.5 Physiography
The area fall under Konkan Region of Maharashtra. The district has a long indented coastline.
The Sahayadri ranges in the east send several transverse numbers of subsidiary hills
westwards denying the plains of a uniform level and continuous character. Many of the
subsidiary hills of varying heights reach the coastline to form headlands or promontories.
On the basis of variation in local relief and other characteristics the district can be grouped
into six physiographic divisions i.e. (i) Sahayadri Hills, (ii) Konkan Forested Hills, (iii) Sudhagad
Plateau, (iv) Ulhas Basin, (v) Kal-Savitri Valley and (vi) Raigarh Coast. Raigarh district has six
main drainage systems namely Ulhas, Patalganga, Amba, Kundlika, Savitri, Bhogavati rivers
etc. originated in Sahyadri ranges and flows from east to west.

3.6 Land Use Pattern
Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a
certain land cover type to produce, change, or maintain it. Definition of land use in this way
establishes a direct link between land cover and the actions of people in their environment.
"Grassland" is a cover term, while "rangeland" or "tennis court" refer to the use of a grass
cover; and "Recreation area" is a land use term that may be applicable to different land cover
types: for instance sandy surfaces, like a beach; a built-up area like a pleasure park;
woodlands; etc.
3.6.1 Land Cover of the study area
Land cover is the observed (bio) physical cover on the earth's surface. When considering land
cover in a very pure and strict sense, it should be confined to the description of vegetation
and man-made features. Consequently, areas where the surface consists of bare rock or bare
soil are land itself rather than land cover. Also, it is disputable whether water surfaces are
real land cover. However, in practice, the scientific community usually includes these
features within the term land cover.
Land Use/Land cover for 10 km radius from project site of were delineated based on the
Landsat ETM+ satellite data; the land use/Land cover classes are categorized based on the
ground trothing and site visit. The land is classified in vegetation, barren land, Built up area
and water Body etc. classes, detailed distribution of units showing in the below map, table
and graph.
These images provide the information about the land use pattern of the study area. The
different color represents the settlement or built up land Vegetation (include Agriculture and
forest) area, barren Land and water bodies.
Built up land
It is defined as an area of human habitat developed due to non-agriculture use. The built-up
land in 10 km radius from project site comprises of villages, towns, panchayat and revenue
villages that include buildings, Industries, factories, transport, communications, utilities in

association with water and vegetation. Out of total 24 % (total 76.16 sq.km) of area cover in
Built up class.
Table No. 3.3. Land use land cover statistics of the study area
Vegetation & Agricultural
The vegetation class use is a function of land productivity and land utilization practices over
a period of time. It is an area within the notified forest boundary bearing an association of
predominantly of trees and other vegetation types capable of producing timber and other
forest produces. These lands are generally occupying the topographically high regions.
Vegetation area 24 % of the area.
Water Bodies
This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds,
lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the
satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water. These
areas were identified and mapped as water bodies; this unit is spatially distributed, 3.83
sq.km which is 1 % of the study area.
Open Land and Fallow land
It is described as degraded land which can be brought under vegetative cover with
reasonable effort and which is currently under-utilized and land which is deteriorating due
to lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of natural causes.
Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed constraints such as, by location, environment,
chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints. 51 % of
the Open and Fallow Land are identified in study area.

3.7 Seismology
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has prepared a seismic zoning map of India based on
tectonic features and records of past earthquakes. Approx. 59% of the land area of India is
liable to seismic hazard damage. In India, seismic zones are divided into four zones i.e. II, III,
IV and V.
Zone – V: Very High Risk Zone
Zone – IV: High Risk Zone
Zone – III: Moderate Risk Zone
Zone – II: Low Risk Zone
The site is located in Zone-III Moderate as per the seismic map given in

Chapter IV: IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION
MEASURES
In this chapter prediction and evaluation of impacts from the various activities during construction and operation
phase of the proposed project are interpreted. The possibility of alteration of environmental conditions or creation of
a new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under
consideration are described in this chapter. Beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts on various components
of environment are identified based on the nature of the various activities associated with proposed project Predictions
are superimposed over baseline environmental status to derive ultimate environmental scenario
4.1 Identification of the Impacts
The purpose of identifying the impacts is that it aids in making appropriate decision to
mitigate the adverse consequences if any. It may be pointed out that the distinction between
magnitude and importance of impact should be appreciated. Thus the degree of
extensiveness and scale of impacts and the consequences based on value judgments are
generalized while identifying impacts; as it is imperative that the impact will normally lead to
a chain of reactions. The construction of network charts brings out to certain extent the
appropriate levels of risks that may occur due to the interventions while interacting with
hydrological, biological and social systems.
The proposed project may influence the environment of the area in two phases:
Construction phase: During the Construction period, the impact may be temporary or short
term. Construction activities are as under,
Site development (Excavation)
Civil and structural construction
Transportation of raw materials labor
Erection and commissioning phase
Transpiration and Installation of machinery
Erecting other infrastructure

4.2 Impact identification
4.2.1 During construction and commissioning phase
The construction phase of the project is expected to last for about one year. Hence, all
construction impacts on the environment can be considered short term as compared to the
operational impacts. During construction stage, excavation, material storage and movement,
vehicular movement, mixing operation etc. could affect air quality. However, such impacts
will be minimized by taking appropriate measures as described in EMP. The following
activities given in matrix among others are likely to contribute towards impacts on the
surroundings during construction phase

Air modeling
Air pollution causes harmful effect on environment and on living organism. Air pollutants
can be in the form of particulate matter which can be harmful to human health. Short-term
effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such
as bronchitis and pneumonia. Others include headaches, nausea, and allergic reactions.
Short-term air pollution can aggravate the medical conditions of individuals with asthma and
emphysema. Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer,
heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys. Continual exposure to
air pollution affects the lungs of growing children and may aggravate or complicate medical
conditions in the elderly.
Air emissions from stacks and other sources can cause health and nuisance problems in the
locality. Air Dispersion Modelling predicts emissions from a site and help explore the effect
of various solutions. The air dispersion model will take the stack emissions and combine these
with the weather conditions and effects of topography (hills, buildings etc.) and then predict
the concentration at ground level of the emissions. The concentration of the substances are
then generally compared to the ambient air quality standards.

7.3.12 Consequence Analysis
7.3.12.1 Introduction
The accident scenarios as identified during HAZOP study are divided in two categories
considering the consequence seriousness and occurrence frequency.
Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS)
Worst Possible Scenario.
7.3.12.2 Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS)
Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) is one of the methodologies evolved to access the
events in realistic and practical way. An MCLS can be described as the worst “credible”
accident or as an accident with a maximum damage distance, which is still believed to be
probable. Minor Leaks from hose/ piping failure are quite probable events. Such accidental
release is considered as MCLS.
Worst Possible Scenario
Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) Accident Scenario accidental
release of Acetic acid release followed by dispersion down wind and fire/explosion is
considered as Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident).

environment. The EMC also undertake periodical monitoring or survey of various
environmental parameters including monitoring and analysis of effluent, air, water and noise
to ensure that these parameters are maintained within the prescribed limits. If any deviation
observed, they will inform to initiate corrective action by the concern department or they
will do themselves if required.
They also undertake the physical survey of the green belt to ensure required growth and
survival rate of the plant. They will also inform the concern department for corrective action
if any to have proper growth of the plants.
Environmental monitoring: EMC will ensure that pollution is well below the prescribed limits
or there is no much difference between the present concentrations and baseline data. If wide
