3.6 STORM WATER DRAINS:

All along the block of the housing complex, storm water drains would

be provided to collect water during rains. They would adequately sized

to prevent over flooding of the site. Storm water collection sump is

proposed before discharging to municipal sewers.



4.0 RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 WATER REQUIREMENT:

As per National Building Code, 2005 (NBC), water requirement for

occupants is 135 litres/day/ person and for visitors the requirement is

15 litres/day/person. The total population likely to be accommodated

would be around 8500 people. Another 20 people would be there like

security and other support staff. Thus total water requirement for

inmates is estimated at 1150 KLD. Quantity estimated for guests and

visitors is estimated at another 10 KLD. Considering washings of floors

and other requirement, a total requirement is estimated at 1170 KLD.

Out of this, it is estimated that 270 KLD of water would be required for

toilet flushing’s and rest for other uses. Also it is estimated that about

100 KLD of water is required for landscaping and plantation purposes.

Thus total water requirement would be 1270 KLD.

It is proposed to source water from HMWS & SB and the treated waste

water would be recycled for toilet flashings and green belt. Any

additional treated waste is there, same will be connected to municipal

sewer.

The total sewage water generated is 1035 KLD. It is proposed to treat

the sewage in STP of capacity of 1200 KLD. The treated waste water is

used for Flushing & gardening (370 KLD). Rest of the 665 KLD of

treated water would be send to municipal sewer. Thus the total fresh

water requirement during occupational stage is would be 900 KLD as

detailed below

4.3 BACK-UP POWER DETAILS:

It is proposed to provide emergency power back up for lifts, water

pumping and common area lighting with two DG sets of 6 X 500

KVA capacities.

4.4 FUEL REQUIREMENT:

The fuel requirement for 6 x 500 KVA is 900 Liters/day for 8 hours

operation of DG sets due to power outage. The fuel used in DG sets is

High Speed Diesel (HSD).

4.5 MAN POWER REQUIREMENT:

The maximum man power required for the development of proposed

project during construction phase is 100 persons. And during

occupational phase it would be around 20 people



5.0 POLLUTION SOURCES – CHARACTERISTICS &

5.2 AIR EMISSION SOURCES

Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate between areas

depending upon the wind direction and speed.

5.2.1 PREDICTED AIR EMISSIONS FROM THE SITE

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During the construction phase, PM is expected to be the main pollutant

associated with on-site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles and

material handling. In this case, pollution emission sources shall be

distributed throughout the project site and shall fall under the category

of area source. The land acquired is fairly flat, so extensive formation

work is not expected during this phase. It is assumed that most of the

excavated material shall be used within the project, with minimal cut

and fill material to come from outside the site.

Due to the confined nature of heavy construction activity during this

limited period, tailpipe emissions from construction equipment are

assumed to be essentially negligible.



OPERATIONAL PHASE

During the operational phase, the diesel generator sets to be operated

for back-up power supply are the major source of air pollution. From

this point source, the following pollutants are expected;

• PM, SO2, NOx and CO

Diesel Generator Set Fuel Combustion - Point Source

To serve as a emergency power back-up, 6 diesel generators of 500

KVA connected to individual stacks shall be installed. The diesel

generator sets are operated only during power failure thus conserving

fuel and reducing the pollution.

As a worst-case scenario, emissions were predicted assuming an

operation time of 24 hours. The emissions from the diesel generators

are provided in the following table:

5.3 NOISE EMISSIONS SOURCES

The assessment of the impacts of noise on the surrounding community

depends upon:

� Characteristics of noise source (instantaneous, intermittent, or

continuous in nature, with the latter contributing the least to

noise pollution);

� Time of day at which noise occurs; and

� Location of noise source with respect to noise sensitive receptor.



CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The description of construction activity as detailed in Section 4.2.1

(with regards to spatial phasing and type of sources) is also pertinent

to the noise emissions emitted in the construction phase. Sources of

noise emissions are expected from various types of construction

equipment.

General noise levels generated from the operation of equipment and

machinery are provided in Table 5.3 below:

OPERATIONAL PHASE

During the operational phase, the diesel power generators will be the

major source of noise.

Diesel Generator Sets

Noise Limit for Generator sets run with Diesel

Noise limit for diesel generator sets (6 X 500 KVA) manufactured on or

after the 1st January, 2005.

The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel

generator (DG) sets with rated capacity 6 X 500 KVA, manufactured on

or after the 1st January, 2005 shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 meter from the

enclosure surface.

Noise control for diesel generator will be as follows:-

Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic

enclosure or by treating the room acoustically, at the users end.



The acoustic enclosure or 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 ( if the actual

ambient noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the

performance of acoustic enclosure/ acoustic treatment. Under such

circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction

upto actual ambient noise level, preferably, in the night time).The

measurement for Insertion Loss may be done at different points at 0.5

m from the acoustic enclosure/ room. The DG set shall be provided

with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB

(A).These limits shall be regulated by the State Pollution Control Boards

and the State Pollution Control Committees.

5.4 WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

5.4.1 WATER REQUIREMENTS

Water requirement during the construction phase will be met from

water tankers. The required water during the operational phase will be

sourced from HMWS & SB. However, in the event of non availability of

water or for any excess requirement of water during the operational

phase, the proponents are proposing backup with the aid of rainwater

collection in the reservoirs which will be duly treated, water recycling

and water tankers (in case of water supply failure). It is also

emphasized that at any stage of the project, groundwater reserves

would not be exploited for the water requirement. The water

requirements during various phases of the project are discussed below:

A) CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The project implementation would involve various construction

activities. The following section summarizes the water requirement, its

sources and management of wastewater.



Site development:

Development of site for the proposed development involves excavation,

leveling of the ground surface and stock piling. However as the project

site is flat with no vegetation cover, the leveling activities would result

in very less water usage. Water requirement for any use at this stage

would be provided from water tankers. Similarly, the generation of

domestic wastewater can be managed on site.

Construction of building infrastructure:

The construction of building infrastructure that includes residential and

other units, Offices, restaurants and multiplex would require water and

may generate waste water too. Water demand during construction

phase would be for:

• Construction activities.

• Domestic use.

Construction phase may last for a period of approximately two years in

order to complete the earthwork, foundation lying, superstructure

development, service provision and finishing. The water requirement

during construction phase would be around 200 KLD. The water

requirement is being met from the water tankers.

B) OPERATIONAL PHASE

Daily Water Requirement and Sources:

It has been mentioned before that the domestic water requirements will

be met from the HMWS&SB Water supply scheme. The water

requirement for Flushing, Gardening, Landscaping and other purposes

would be met from duly treated recycled water. However, in case of

failure of HMWS&SB, water requirements are planned to be met partly

by ground water & through private tankers. Rain water will be



recharged to the ground to augment the water table in the area. Water

tankers will be used only in case of any emergency or failure of water

supply by HMWS & SB or insufficiency of the water reservoir.

Water conservation: Water conservation is an important part of sustainable living and in

order to optimize the water requirement in the project, the developers

would incorporate the component of water conservation by means of

rainwater harvesting and water recycling using fixtures which are low

flow and water efficient models such as 3 litre capacity WC flushing

system, sensor operated urinals and taps to minimize the wastage of

water along with employee education and awareness programme and

selective use of dry type urinals. As per the approved plans from

GHMC, various mitigative measures shall be proposed to further

minimize the impacts.

Storm Water Management & Rain Water Harvesting Structures

It is proposed to channelizing the storm water by constructing water

drains leading to the storm water sump. In order to minimize the

surface runoff loss, groundwater recharging through groundwater

recharge pits at the project site has been planned. Appropriate design

considerations have been taken while designing the recharge pits.

5 .5 2 WASTEWATER QUANTIFICATION AND CHARACTERISTICS

The wastewater generation during construction and operational phase

is described below:


Waste water generation during construction period shall be from

construction labours and construction activities. Wastewater generation

due to construction activities would be very less. Since the project lies

in an urban stretch, preference would be given to the employment of

labours local to the area. This would result in settlement of less labour

colonies in the project site and hence less wastewater generation from



the transit labour settlements. Wastewater generation from labour

toilet shall not exceed 20 KLD. Temporary toilets are planned for labour

during construction phase and waste water would be disposed to

municipal drain


During this phase, it has been assumed that 80 % of the water supplied

will be discharged as wastewater (Source: Manual on sewerage and

sewage treatment, published by Government of India). Hence

approximately 225.0 m3 per day of domestic effluent would be

generated.

Wastewater generated is expected to have characteristics and pollution

load as shown in Table 5.5

TABLE 5.5

EXPECTED WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS AND POLLUTION

Quantity KLD 1035

pH -- 6.5 – 8.5

Oil & Grease Mg/l 20

TSS Mg/l 200

BOD Mg/l 300

COD Mg/l 500

The wastewater with the foresaid characteristics can neither be

discharged into in land surface water nor reused. Suitable treatment

would be given to the wastewater so as to meet CPCB requirements

depending upon the end use. It is proposed to install a sewage

treatment plant of capacity 1200 KLD, to recover the recycled water of

quality suitable for use in flushing and gardening. A sewage treatment



plant of 1200 KLD capacity based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor

(FAB) technology is proposed to treat 1035 KLD of sewage water

generated in the proposed project. After treatment the water will be

used for Flushing & Gardening.

The treated wastewater shall meet the standard required for discharge

on land for horticulture. Table 5.6 gives the comparison of the

standards that would be met by the treated wastewater and quality

norms prescribed for discharge on land by irrigation.

5.6 SOLID AND OTHER WASTES

Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out

to estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to proposed project during construction and

operation phase. The estimated quantity and quality of waste would

serve as a baseline for designing collection, transportation, treatment

and disposal options for solid waste generated due to proposed project.

Waste quantification has been done based on the activities proposed in

the project master plan. The waste generation for each activity has

been estimated based on National and International standards

applicable in similar setting. The following section gives the details of



the type of waste generated by different activity, waste generation

factors and assumptions used for estimating waste generation.

Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out

to estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to the proposed project activity during the

construction and operation phase.

5.6.2 WASTE QUANTIFICATION


Construction activities create solid wastes that need to be disposed.

Such wastes include sand, concrete, gravel, stone, bricks, plastic,

paper, wood, metal and glass. According to a report prepared by the

Technology Information, Forecasting, and Assessment Council (TIFAC),

estimated waste generation during construction and demolition

operations is 60 kg/m2 and 500 kg/m2 respectively (TIFAC, 2001). This

waste after sorting can be used for backfilling in the basement and for

leveling purposes.


Waste quantification has been carried out based on the activities

proposed in the project master plan. Waste generation factors for each

activity are as per the National and International standards applicable

in similar setting. Following section outlines details of the type of waste

generated by different activities.

Residential waste: Domestic garbage is anticipated from the

residential complex. Total solid waste estimated @ 1 Kg/day per house

hold. Thus total garbage anticipated from the complex will be 2121

kg/day which is proposed to be disposed to municipal solid waste



disposal facility of MCH through local municipal authorities. About 100

Kgs/Day of solid waste anticipated from sewage treatment plant and

same will be used as manure.

Garden and open spaces: Waste from open spaces and garden

comprise of horticultural waste that will be generated by periodical lawn

mowing and trimming of trees. Horticulture waste generated is based

on the experience in other projects with similar setting. Assumed waste

generation factor for horticulture waste is 15 kg/acre / day or .0037 kg/

sq m /day. Table 5.8 gives detail of the estimated waste generation

5.6.3 WASTE CHARACTERIZATION

Waste characterization for the proposed project has been carried out on

the basis of waste characterization studies in similar settings. The

following section details the estimated waste generation for proposed

project during construction and operation phases.


During the construction phase, a considerable quantum (90%) of waste

generated at the project site would be inert waste, which largely

comprising of clay, sand, gravel, untreated wood (natural wood, no



paint), brick, concrete, concrete block, asphalt, pipes, conduits and

light steel material. A major portion of this waste will be used for

backfilling the basement and other leveling purposes.

Table 5.9 gives an estimate of the average composition of waste that

shall be generated from the onsite construction activities.

5.7 OTHER STRESSORS LEADING TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

5.7.1 Change in Landscape of the site: The landscape of the area

will change with the coming up of proposed project. The large vista,

interconnected lawns and open green areas will change the aesthetics

of the local area.

5.7.2 Stress on Road Network

As it is anticipated about 5000 vehicles are likely to be added to road

net work, there is possibility of stress on road network due to be

implementation of the project

5.7.3 Energy utilization & Conservation :

The total energy load requirement for the site is 9922.5 KVA. Out of

this Energy load for common areas, Lifts, Water Motors, ETP, Cellars &

Basements and Roads and garden area requirement is 167.25 KVA. It

is proposed to adopt the following energy saving measures to save

20% of total load

• LED Lighting

• Energy Efficient 5 star rated Motors for water and ETP



• Energy Efficient 5 star rated Motors for Lifts

• Solar lighting for roads and Garden area

• Solar water heating system for blocks

• Other measures of natural ventilation & Lighting

5.7.4 Safety and Emergency handling system

Elaborate fire fighting system which include fire hydrant system,

portable fire extinguishers, smoke detection & Alarm systems are

proposed for all the residential blocks and cellars. Adequate fire water

is maintained as per the norms prescribed. Adequate set backs are

planed for easy movement of fire fighting vehicles in case of

emergencies
