Noise Levels (Monitoring done at project site )
11. L DAY(dB(A)) 63.8 75 dB The noise levels are below permissible
limit. Noise at Site is due to Welding
work, Fabrication work, Iron Bar Cutting

etc.
12. L NIGHT(dB(A)) 51.3 65 dB Construction Activities in the nearby sites
at night results in the 49.9 dB levels.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS &PREVENTIVE ACTIONS
FOR DEVIATIONS(CAPA)
In this project, Construction has started and is in its initial phases. Excavation and levelling
work is in progress for 2 towers. Mainly following pollutants were observed
1. PM10 & PM2.5: Ranging between 69.52 to 70.36 µg/m3 and 40.48 to 42.12
respectively, is approaching the CPCB permissible limit of 100 µg/m3 for PM10 and 60
µg/m3 of PM2.5and reasons of this are: a) Movement of trucks and dumpers on site for carrying equipment/ machinery
and construction raw material. b) Fossil fuel burning in Vehicles and in DG set used at site. c) Demolition of temporary site structures d) Muck/ Soil stored at site for landscaping
Impact of higher Particulate matter
This higher value can cause disease related to lungs like breathing problems,
silicosis, asthma, irritation in eyes, and suffocation to the workers working onsite.
Remediation Measures:
1. Dust suppression to be done by water sprinkling 2. Using spent concrete on haul road inside the project site to provide friction
and to bind some soil to reduce fugitive dust emission. 3. By installing sheets/ dust screen to contain dust inside and to prevent
outside dust to come inside. 2. Ozone: Ranging between 53.00 to 55.3 µg/m3is less than one third of CPCB permissible
limit of 180µg/m3 due to construction activities like Transportation through Vehicles,
Welding, metal cutting and due to sparking of electricity etc.
Impact of higher value of Ozone: Excess inhalation of ozone may lead to
following disorders:
1. Induction of respiratory symptoms
2. Decrements in lung function
3. Inflammation of airways Respiratory symptoms can include: 1. Coughing 2. Throat irritation 3. Pain, burning, or discomfort in the chest when taking a deep breath 4. Chest tightness, wheezing, or shortness of breath
Remediation Measures:
1. Vehicles are to be maintained regularly 2. Welding should be done in open areas or well ventilated spaces. Closed
rooms, shed areas and low roof areas should be avoided to carry out
welding operations
Chapter- 6
3. Using prefabricated or modular structures to minimize welding operation as
much as possible. 4. Use of facial masks and other safety equipment to prevent direct exposure
to workers
3. Organic & Inorganic Solids: It was found to be 1249.00 ppm &127.00 ppm
respectively against the permissible value of 3000 ppm & 200 ppm of CPCB
permissible limit. Sample was collected from water tank, being used for construction. This
water is not being used for drinking purpose.
Impact of higher value of Inorganic & Organic Solids: The higher value of
Organics & Inorganics in water used for construction may cause the following
problems.
1. Reduced performance of Concrete. 2. Fouling smell from water & near water storage tank. 3. Objectionable stains & unsightly deposits on surface may occur.
Remediation Measures:
1. Water Treatment Plant for Construction phase should be installed for pre-treatment of water purchased from Authority.
2. Use of Filter Beds & Plate Filters to clean water prior to use of supplied water in construction.
SUGGESTIONSFORIMPLEMENTATION
Based on the present working procedures on site & data analysed during January 2014 to
June 2014, the major deviations observed are discussed already in the previous chapters. A
consolidated suggestion scheme based on the same is as follows:
1) Increase frequency of Water Sprinkling for dust suppression within the Project site &
approach road. It can be increased to 3-4 times per day from existing 2 times per
day.
2) Regular sprinkling on stacked soil should be done to prevent fugitive dust emission.
3) Open space should be used for Welding, metal cutting and bending.
4) Frequent monitoring of DG Set Stacks for any kind of soot or other particulate matter
which may be an indication of incomplete burning of fuel.
5) All the machineries should be PUC certified
6) Scheduled preventive maintenance of all construction equipment, trucks/dumpers, DG
Sets, Welding Equipment and Water tankers.
7) Installation of Water Treatment Plant should be done and maintained by keeping
records for the entries.
8) As the workers increases at site they should be provided safety training on their joining
and regular safety drills are important.
9) Provision of testing /monitoring of constructed building parts to check for any defects
arising due to high contamination of organic / inorganic solids in water.
10) Scheduled Audits for various parameters to be conducted with respect to all the
conditions stated in Environment clearance Letter.
