Chapter 3: ENVIRONMENTAL BASE LINE DATA

3.1 INTRODUCTION

EIA report should contain a description of existing environment that would be or might be affected

directly or indirectly by proposed project. Environmental baseline monitoring is a very important

stage of EIA. Environmental baseline monitoring, during the operational phase, helps in judging

the success of mitigation measures in protecting the environment.

Environmental facets that are considered in relation to Commercial Complex “Spaze Boulevard II”

can be categorized into following groups:

a) Ambient air quality

b) Noise quality

c) Water quality

d) Soil quality

e) Topography

f) Land use

g) Biological Environment

h) Socio-economic status

i) Traffic density

The intention of environmental baseline monitoring is not just to describe all baseline conditions

but to focus the collection and description of baseline data on those environmental conditions

that are important and are likely to be affected by the proposed project activities and is included

in impact assessments.

For the present study, all the sampling locations are marked with the help of topographical maps.

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite imagery,

topographical maps, Survey of India and ground truth information. The baseline environmental

quality has been assessed for one Month (February 2018). Meteorological data of IMD station at

Palam, Pune has been used for the study. Samples of air, water and soil from the site and nearby

areas has been collected and analysed for the study of existing. Primary and secondary data


PROJECT PROPONENT:


Page

collection has been done by the Ecology and Biodiversity team for the study of flora and fauna in

the core and Buffer Zone.

3.2 METHODOLOGY

The baseline data is generated through field study within the impact zone (Core Zone and Buffer

Zone) for various components of the environment viz. Air, Noise, Water, Land, Ecology and

Socioeconomic. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed one Month (February

2018) in a study area of 10 Km radius distance from the project site. While generating the baseline

status of physical and biological environment of the study area, the concept of impact zone has

been considered. The impact zone selection is based on preliminary screening and modelling

studies. The methodology for measurement of various environmental indices is as follows:

i. Ambient Air Quality: The ambient air quality monitoring was done to assess the

ambient air quality in one season. Monitoring was carried out in the one Month

(February 2018). The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given

in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were followed.

ii. Water Quality: To assess the water quality of the proposed area, sampling was done

as per the standard practice. Grab and Integrated sampling was done for ground and

surface water. Water samples were taken as per the Standard Methods (IS & APHA,

23rd Edition 2017). Necessary precautions were taken for preservation of samples. The

physical parameters viz. pH, temperature and conductivity were measured at site using

portable water analyser.

iii. Ambient Noise Quality: At each station noise level was monitored for 24-hours

simultaneously. For each measurement, dB (A) readings was taken for every 15

minutes for 24 hrs ones in a season to get Leq values.

iv. Soil Quality: For soil, augur method was used and samples were collected at 15 cm

depth after removing the upper crust.

3.3 METEOROLOGY

Meteorological parameters are observed through secondary as well as primary sources. The data

through secondary source helps in deciding the location of air monitoring stations. It also helps in

assessment of impact on air quality on long term basis. The important parameters considered are

temperature, humidity, wind speed & direction and rainfall for both secondary as well as primary

(micro-meteorological parameters measured along with the measurement of air quality) sources.

3.5 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY

The ambient air quality monitoring was done to assess the ambient air quality. Monitoring was

carried out at Six stations for the month of February 2018.

The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were

followed. These guidelines state that, “when the objective of air sampling is to identify the

contribution from specific sources of pollution, the sampling locations should be in upwind and the

downwind of such sources”.

The location of air quality monitoring stations should satisfy the following conditions:

The site should be representative of the area selected;

The station should be set up and operated so as to yield data that can be compared with

those from stations within the network; and,

Certain physical requirements should be satisfied at the site.

Sampling Stations

To select the air sampling locations, meteorological data with respect to temperature, relative

humidity, wind speed and direction plays a vital role. Predominant wind direction plays an

important role in determining location of monitoring stations. The monitoring station located in

area that is Downwind from the source. Location of Air sampling stations is shown below:

Time averaged in – situ sampling was adopted by passing a known volume of air through a trap,

and a collecting medium (filter paper and bubbler). Respirable Dust Sampler was used for the

purpose.

This procedure was adopted because there are no short-term variations and low concentration of

gaseous pollutants was expected.

Analytical methods followed for ambient air quality monitoring:

Particulate Matter (PM2.5): (USEPA Quality Assurance Hand Book (Vol.II) Part II, Quality Assurance

Guideline Document,2.12): Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was analysed by Gravimetric Method.

Particulate matter was collected on the 37 mm dia glass micro fiber Filter Paper. PM2.5 value is

determined from the values of volume of air passes through Ambient Fine Dust Sampler.

Particulate Matter (PM10) (IS: 5182 Part 23:2006): Particulate Matter (PM10) was carried out by

Respirable Dust sampler as per IS: 5182(Part 23):2006. Particulate matter was collected on the

GF/A Filter Paper. Particles with aerodynamics diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are

collected by the filter. The mass of these particles is determined by the difference in filter weight

prior to and after sampling.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) (IS: 5182; Part – II – 2001): Sulphur dioxide is absorbed by aspirating a

measured air sample through a solution of Potassium or sodium tetrachloromercurate, TCM. This

procedure results in the formation of a dichloro sulphite mercurate complex. The Sulphite Ion

produced during sampling is reacted with sulphamic acid, formaldehyde and pararosaniline to

form an azo dye and then determined colorimetricaly.

Nitrogen Oxides (IS: 5182; Part – VI – 2006): Nitrogen dioxide is collected by `6+-bubbling air

through a sodium hydroxide- sodium arsenite solution to form a stable solution of sodium Nitrite.

The Nitrite Ion Produced during sampling is reacted with hydrogen peroxide, Sulphanilamide and

NEDA to form an azodye and then determined calorimetrically.

Data Interpretation

The ambient air quality results are summarized in above tables. The Core zone results are

discussed below —

Core zone:

A1: West direction of site, the mean value of SO2(6.9 µg/m3), NOX (25.0 µg/m3) & PM2.5 (56.7)

µg/m3) are within the limits of National ambient air quality standards. However, the mean value

of PM10 (142.3 µg/m3) is higher than the National ambient air quality standards due to vehicular

activity at Approach Road (Sohna Gurgaon Road).

A2: East direction of site, the mean value of SO2(6.7 µg/m3), NOX (24.3 µg/m3) & PM2.5 (55.1

µg/m3) are within the limits of National ambient air quality standards. However, the mean value

of PM10 (138.2 µg/m3) is higher than the National ambient air quality standards due to vehicular

moment at approach road (Sohna Gurgaon Road).

The Buffer zone:

A3: Tikri Village, the mean value of SO2 (7.2 µg/m3), NOX (26.0 µg/m3) & PM2.5 (59.0 µg/m3) are

within the limits of National ambient air quality standards. However, the mean value of PM10 (147.8

µg/m3) is higher than the National ambient air quality standards due to vehicular moment of nearby

SH 248A.

A4: South City II, the mean value of SO2(7.4 µg/m3), NOX (26.7 µg/m3) are within the limits of

National ambient air quality standards. However, the mean value of PM2.5 (60.6 µg/m3) & PM10

(152.0 µg/m3) is higher than the standard limits of National ambient air quality standards due to

vehicular moment at Vikas marg & dust from nearby vicinity.

A5: Ghasaula Village, the mean value of SO2(7.5 µg/m3), & NOX (27.2 µg/m3) are within the limits

of National ambient air quality standards. However, the Mean Value of PM10 (154.7 µg/m3) and


PROJECT PROPONENT:


Page

285



PM2.5 (61.7 µg/m3) are higher than the limits of National ambient air quality standards due to

Fugitive dust emission by vehicular movement at Southern peripheral Road which later on merges

to the SH-248 A.

A6: Begampur Khatola, the mean value of SO2(7.6 µg/m3), & NOX (27.7 µg/m3) are within the limits

of National ambient air quality standards. However, the Mean Value of PM10 (154.7 µg/m3) and

PM2.5 (62.8 µg/m3) are higher than the limits of National ambient air quality standards due to

Fugitive dust emission by vehicular movement at nearby behrampur road & Delhi Gurgaon Road.

3.6 HYDRO-GEOLOGY & GEOLOGY

Hydrology

The major part of Gurgaon district is underlain by Quaternary alluvium consisting of sand, clay and

silt. The quartzite ridge trending NE-SW is located on the southeast corner, ground water occurs

in fractures, joints and crevices. Sandy layers at various depth form major water bearing horizons

above the crystalline basement. Ground water in the block occurs in unconfined and semi-

confined condition. As per CGWB report, the upper zone of saturation consists of fine sand with

silt varying from place to place. In Udyog vihar and city area (close to north eastern periphery of

buffer zone), the depth of first aquifer varies from 34 to 43 mbgl. However, in industrial area of

Manesar top most aquifer can be encountered at 20 m. The thickness of sandy layer is limited.

The draw-down are generally high indicating absence of highly potential ground water bearing

aquifers. Tube wells in the depth range of 45 to 90 m bgl have been installed by different agencies

in the area. The yield of these tube-wells varies in different areas ranging within 129 to 606 lpm.

The water level ranges between 20 and 30 m in major parts. Deeper water level has been observed

in Gurgaon and northern parts of Sohana area, which is due to Urbanization and industrialization

in these areas. The seasonal fluctuation is between –3.0 m to +4.10 m.

Geology

Major soil type in Gurgaon is loamy sand soil which covers around 84.2 % of total geographical

area. The alluvium in the area comprises silt, sand, gravel, clay and kankar.


PROJECT PROPONENT:


Page

111 of

285



Soils of the area are classified as tropical and brown soils. The soils are medium textured loamy

sand is the average texture. The organic content is 0.2 to 0.40 percent and falls in low category.

Groundwater Development

The water supply to the Gurgaon district is mainly based on ground water through tube-wells.

Entire (100 %) urban population is covered under drinking water supply scheme. The water supply

to the villages is catered through the installation of hand pumps by the village households as spot

and convenient source of water. The shallow tube-wells for irrigation purpose in the district range

from 45 to 70m deep, tapping the aquifer from 31m to 80 m. with a discharge of400 to 1000 lpm.

According to the CGWB report, the stage of ground water development for the Gurgaon block is

308% implying that the buffer zone falls in over-exploited categories.

The details of ground water development in the relevant Gurgaon block is shown in the table given

ahead –

Sl. No.

Blocks Net ground water availability (in ham)

Stage of ground water develop ment

1 Gurgaon 7585 23382 17128 -15797 308

The above table clearly depicts that the ground water is under with declining water levels. There

is hardly any scope for further ground water development. Various measures should be taken to

reduce on the dependence on ground water and to enhance the ground water resources.

Water Conservation & Artificial Recharge-

There is an urgent need to take measures to arrest the decline of ground water level. The artificial

recharge to ground water is one of such measures. Whole of the district is suitable for artificial

recharge to ground water. Excess rain water in agricultural field, surplus canal water and rooftop

rain water can be recharged to ground water system. Recharging shafts and injection wells are

Sampling procedure & Analysis:

Augur method was used and samples were collected at 15 cm depth after removing the upper

crust. Sample from each spot were well mixed with hand on a clean polythene sheet. About 1 kg

of soil was retained after process of quartering. This sample was kept for some time for air-drying

at room temperature, stored in polythene bag with label at the top.

The soil samples were separately analysed for physical and chemical parameters. The physical

parameters included – colour, texture, physical composition, moisture content, conductivity, bulk

density and porosity. The chemical parameters included 15 parameters, the key parameters

included - pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and organic contents. As mentioned

above, in all 13 samples (1 from core zone and 12 from buffer zone) were taken. The analysis report

is being given in 2 parts – Part 1 (Table 3.22A - S1 to S4 Physical Quality; Part 2 (Table 3.23A - S1 to

3.9.1 Data Interpretation

Results are summarized in above tables.

Data interpretation of Soil Quality results core & buffer zone - Physical Quality

Texture of soil is Silt Loam & silt clay loam. Soil texture is one of the most important physical

properties of soil that affects its fertility and productivity. The whole soil environment is regulated

by soil texture. Soil texture governs most of the properties of the soil, its permeability, its capacity

to retain water, its degree of aeration, its ability to make the nutrients stored in the clay-humus

complex available to plants, its ability to withstand mechanical working of the top soil, and finally,

its ability to support a permanent plant cover. In present case soil texture clearly indicates that

the soil in core zone contains high percentage of silt which cannot hold water and nutrients and

makes soil less fertile. So, the trees which can grow in these conditions can be planted. There was

no significant difference in the physical quality of core and buffer zone samples.

Data interpretation of Soil quality results core & buffer zone

Core Zone:

The result shows that colour is Brown, pH is 8.5. The availability of many plant nutrients in the soil

changes as a result of reactions in the soil, which are largely controlled by soil pH.

Amount of primary nutrient like Organic matter 0.20 %, the available nitrogen 65.2 mg/kg is lower

in range, available potassium 32.0 mg/kg is lower in range while the available phosphorus 29.6

mg/kg is High in range. Primary nutrient profile shows that soil is low in fertility due to the

availability of low amount of nitrogen and potassium. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer

element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above ground

vegetative growth and gives a deep green colour to the leaves & Potassium is the third essential

fertilizer element and it is essential for photosynthesis, for protein synthesis, for starch formation

and for the translocation of sugars. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the fertility of soil.

Buffer Zone:

The result shows that texture of soil has silt Loam & silty clay loam texture. Colour varies from light

Brown to Dark Brown, pH ranges from 7.6 to 8.1. Amount of primary nutrient like Organic matter

0.60% to 0.90%, the available nitrogen 75.3 mg/kg to 110.3 mg/kg, the available phosphorus is 39.0

mg/kg to 66.6 mg/kg is medium to high in range while available potassium 25.2 mg/kg to 45.0 mg/kg

is lower in range, Primary nutrient profile shows that soil is low in fertility due to the availability of

low amount of nitrogen, available potassium.

Primary nutrient profile shows average fertile soil along the stretch. Nitrogen is the most important

fertilizer element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above


129


ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green color to the leaves & Potassium is the third

essential fertilizer element and it is essential for photosynthesis, for protein synthesis, for starch

formation and for the translocation of sugars. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the

fertility of soil.

3.10 TOPOGRAPHY

The area is by and large flat topography, excepting mild ruggedness on the southern part of buffer

zone. This area is marked by NE-SW trending ridges and corresponding valleys. The highest point in

this undulating land is about 325 mRL on the southern part of the buffer. The buffer zone depicts a

general slope towards north-west. The lowest point of buffer zone is 212 mRL situated close to

periphery in the north-west. The proposed site or core zone is situated on a land having max RL

around 230 m and minimum Rl around 229 m.

Drainage Pattern-

The drainage of the district is typical of the arid and semi-arid areas. It comprises of large

depressions and streams. The important depressions in the level of the district in this region are

Khalipur, Chandaini, Sangel-Ujina, Kotla Dahar Jheels and Najafgarh lake. Sahibi and Indrani are two

important seasonal streams of the district.

3.11 LANDUSE

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using digital classification of

imagery. Based on the methodology developed for the present land use/ land cover, categories

have been grouped under the following major land use/land cover categories. The data analysis

process involves examining the data using various image processing techniques by a digital

computer. Its application in the field of environmental management is of great prominence.

METHODOLOGY

The methodology applied comes under following steps:

Image Extraction:

Satellite imageries for the Area of Interest were created through Image processing software.

Geo-Rectification:

Geometric correction includes correction for geometric distortions due to sensor, earth geometry

variations and conversion of the data to real world coordinates (e.g. Latitude and Longitude) on the


130


Earth’s surface. The satellite imagery was geometrically rectified with reference to the geo-

referenced toposheets and vector data.

Image Enhancement:

Image enhancement is one of the important image processing functions primarily done to improve

the appearance of the imagery to assist in visual interpretation and analysis. Various options of

image enhancement techniques were tried out to get the best image for visual interpretation.

Histogram equalized stretch enhancement techniques was applied to the imagery of the study area

for better interpretation of different features in the satellite imagery.

INTERPRETATION OF SATELLITE IMAGE

Visual interpretation technique has been used for digitization of geographical feature for different

land use and vegetation cover classes based on spatial pattern of geographic feature. Spectral

signature represents various land use class. Image interpretation keys are developed based on

image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, association etc, which

enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Statics of geographic feature has been

developing for impact assessment due to project activity.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using digital classification of

Imagery. Based on the methodology developed for the present land use/ land cover, categories

have been grouped under the following major land use/land cover categories.

3.12 FLORA AND FAUNA

Introduction on Ecology and Biodiversity:

A natural ecosystem is a complete community of living organisms and non-living constituents in a

given area and their interactions. An ecosystem has self-sustaining ability and controls the number

of organisms at any level by cybernetic rules. The basic purpose to explore the biological

environment under Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to assess the potential ecological

impacts of the proposed project upon ecology and develop adequate mitigation measures to keep

ecological impacts within acceptable limits. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted,

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

conditions in the study area. The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed at assessing the

existing flora and fauna components in the study area. Data has been collected through extensive

survey of the area with reference to flora and fauna.

With the change in environmental conditions, the vegetation cover as well as animals reflects

several changes in its structure, density and composition. The present study was carried out

separately for floral and faunal community of core and buffer zone respectively.

Need to study:

The present study was undertaken with the following objectives:

• To assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project site (within 10

km. radii)

• To assess the animal life spectra (within 10 km radii)

To achieve the above objectives a study area was undertaken. The different methods adopted were

as follows:

• Compilation of secondary data with respect to the study area from published literature and

various government agencies;

• Generation of primary data by undertaking systematic ecological studies in the area.

3.13 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCENARIO

Objective of Study

The objective of the socio-economic survey is to study the impact of construction/expansion of

commercial complex “Spaze Boulevard II” on the inhabitants of nearby areas.

Approach & Methodology adopted for conducting Socio Economic Study

Study has been conducted based on the details collected through secondary sources (mainly census

2011) and through primary data collected from the site visits. The socio-economic profile has been

compiled from census data, 2011, while primary verification has been carried out by using sample

survey.

For secondary data, as the study area is large so the study has been carried out at district/ tehsil

level representing the whole study area for detailed socio-economic analysis. The analysis was done

using data from census of India, 2011 as secondary source and using physical site survey as primary


141


data. For field survey, 4 villages were selected for conducting the survey from nearby areas of the

site.

Concept & Definitions

a. Study Area: The study area, also known as impact area has been defined as the sum total of

core area and buffer area with a distance of 10 Kilometres from the periphery of the core

area. The study area includes all the land marks both natural and manmade, falling therein.

b. QoL: The Quality of Life (QoL) refers to degree to which a person enjoys the important

possibilities of his/her life. The ‘Possibilities’ result from the opportunities and limitations,

each person has in his/her life and reflect the interaction of personal and environmental

factors. Enjoyment has two components: the experience of satisfaction and the possession

or achievement of some characteristic.

c. Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a

common kitchen are called a household. Persons living in a household may be related or

unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of related or unrelated persons live in a

house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not part of a

common household. Each such person is treated as a separate household. There may be one

member households, two member households or multi-member households.

d. Sex Ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of females to males in a given population. It is expressed as

'number of females per 1000 males'.

e. Literates: All persons aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with

understanding in any language are taken as literate. It is not necessary for a person to have

received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard for being

treated as literate. People who are blind but can read in Braille are also treated as literates.

f. Literacy Rate: Literacy rate of population is defined as the percentage of literates to the total

population aged 7 years and above.

g. Labour Force: The labour force is the number of people employed and unemployed in a

geographical entity. The size of the labour force is the sum total of persons employed and

unemployed. An unemployed person is defined as a person not employed but actively

seeking work. Normally, the labour force of a country consists of everyone of working age


142


(around 14 to 16 years) and below retirement (around 65 years) that are participating

workers, that is people actively employed or seeking employment. People not counted

under labour force are students, retired persons, stay-at home people, people in prisons,

permanently disabled persons and discouraged workers.

h. Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or

without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental

in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and

direction of work. The work may be part time, full time, or unpaid work in a farm, family

enterprise or in any other economic activity.

i. Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers. Persons who are engaged in

cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as

workers.

j. Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period

(i.e. 6 months or more in the case of a year) are termed as Main Workers.

k. Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the reference

period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers

l. Work participation rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the labour force

and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range). In the

present study the work participation rate is defined as the percentage of total workers (main

and marginal) to total population.

Study Area

The study area means villages in 10 km radius of the proposed project. Topographical map and

Google earth maps were used to identify the villages/ wards in 10 km radius.

As a matter of fact, maximum surrounding area is part of rural inhabitation. A total of 33 villages

and six urban area in Gurgaon district falls within the study area. The total population of the study

area is 1012929 constituting 231026 households. The sex ratio of the study area as per census 2011

records at 848, whereas the sex ratio of the districts Gurgaon involved is 854.

Chapter 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment

studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of

developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such

predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to

derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts

helps to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project

execution.

Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary

impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project and secondary impacts are those,

which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investment and changed patterns

of social and economic activities by the proposed actions.

For the proposed project, the impacts assessment shall be performed in following steps:

• Identification of interactions between activities and environmental receptors.

• Identification of potentially significant environmental impacts.

Chapter 6: ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN

An Environment Monitoring Plan is prepared for construction as well as the operation phase. It

provides a delivery mechanism to address the adverse environmental impacts of a project during

its execution, to enhance project benefits, and to introduce standards of good practice to be

adopted for all project works. An environmental monitoring program is important as it provides

useful information and helps to:

• Assist in detecting the development of any unwanted environmental situation, and thus,

provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures, and

• Define the responsibilities of the project proponents, contractors and environmental

monitors and provides means of effectively communicating environmental issues among

them.

• Define monitoring mechanism and identify monitoring parameters.

• Evaluate the performance and effectiveness of mitigation measures proposed in the

Environment Management Plan (EMP) and suggest improvements in management plan, if

required,

• Identify training requirement at various levels.

6.1 DETAILS OF MONITORING TO JUDGE EFFECTIVENESS

As the project is Commercial Complex. “Spaze Boulevard-II” there are various studies considered

which directly or indirectly affects the construction and operation stage of the project. The studies

assessed for the following additional Details Includes

• Risk Assessment

• Geo Technical Investigation

• Traffic Study

• Public Consultation – Not Applicable

7.1 Risk Assessment

Risk is a potential that a chosen action or activity will lead to a loss of human or property. However,

Hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life health or environment.

Risk assessment is a term used to describe the overall process or method where you:

Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm.

Analyse and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.

Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when the hazard cannot be

eliminated.

A risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those things, situations,

processes, etc. that may cause harm, particularly to people. After identification is made, you analyse

and evaluate how likely and severe the risk is. When this determination is made, you can next,

decide what measures should be in place to effectively eliminate or control the harm from

happening.

Risk assessment involves the following:

• Hazard Identification

• Vulnerability Analysis

• Risk Analysis

• Emergency Preparedness Plan


193

SCHEME OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT:

As stated earlier the wastewater generation from complete complex shall be 70 KLD which shall

be treated in 100 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant based on MBBR Technology. The Sewage

Treatment Plant based on MBBR technology offered has some distinct advantages over

conventional activated sludge processes. The scheme is proven, under a variety of operating

conditions, and is highly flexible in operation.

TREATMENT PROCESS:

It is proposed to treat the complete wastewater in a scientific manner through a properly planned

treatment plant. The objective is to stabilize the decomposable organic matters present in sewage

so as to get an effluent and sludge having characteristics which are within safe limits. To have an

efficient treatment system, this aeration system is proposed consisting of MBBR Technology. The

sewerage treatment plant can be constructed in such a way that it becomes viable by providing

Treated water and sludge that can be used as for manure for further use.

Following are the benefits of providing the Sewage Treatment Plant in the present circumstances:

• It is mandatory as per the latest requirements to provide the Sewage Treatment Plant.


233


• Reduced net daily fresh water requirements from various sources, by utilizing the treated

water.

• Reduced dependence on the public utilities for water supply and sewerage systems.

• Solid waste generated from the Sewage Treatment Plant shall be rich in organic materials

and is an excellent fertilizer for horticultural purposes.

Different Components of the Plant

In the proposed treatment scheme the following component unit shall be provided:

➢ Screen chamber

➢ Bar screen /Grit chamber within effluent collection sump.

➢ Submersible type raw effluent re-lift pumps

➢ Equalization tank

➢ MBBR tank/ Aeration tank

➢ Tube settler

➢ Clarified Water, Filtered Water & Soft Water Storage Tanks

➢ Filter feed pump

➢ Tertiary Treatment Units (Filtration, U.V treatment)

➢ Treated Water Supply Pumps

➢ Sludge return pump

➢ Sludge holding tank

➢ Centrifuge for solid waste management

➢ Sludge loading pumps

➢ Sludge drying beds, Centrifuge/Filter Press

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

a) Raw sewage from main sewer line should be collected through gravity pipes into the screen

chamber. This manually cleaned screen should be provided to remove floating and big size

particles which may otherwise choke the pumps and pipe lines.


234


b) After screening, the waste water should be allowed to pass through a grit chamber to remove

the grit material. The screens and grit chambers shall be accessible so that they may be

manually cleaned from time to time.

c) The screened waste water from the Grit chamber should then pass into the equalization tank

to homogenize the waste water quality and also even out flow fluctuations and feed waste

water of uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units.

Air mixing should be provided to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble

aeration grid should be provided to mix the contents of the equalization tank and also to avoid

septic conditions in the tank. From the equalization tank the wastewater will be pumped into

an MBBR Tank.

d) The MBBR process uses small plastic carrier elements to provide growth sites for bacteria

attachment in a suspended growth medium. The carrier elements shall allow a higher biomass

concentration to be maintained in the reactor. This shall increase the biological treatment

capacity for the given reactor volume.

e) The carrier elements shall be continuously kept in suspension by the aeration system. The

agitation pattern in the reactor shall be designed to provide an upward movement of the

carriers across the surface of the retention screen which creates a scrubbing effect to prevent

clogging. Combination of fine & coarse bubbles may be provided to provide oxygen as per

detailing.

f) From the MBBR tank mixed liquor shall flow by gravity into the Tube settler. The solids will

settle in the tank. The sludge that settles down shall be transferred to sludge holding tank via

sludge loading pumps, with provision of sludge return to the bioreactor if necessary.

g) From the tube settler, treated wastewater will be fed by means of filter/softener feed pump

sets to pass through dual media filters, activated carbon filters and softeners and stored in the

filtered water and soft water storage tanks. The activated carbon filters shall ensure removal

of all coloration and odours present in the treated effluent.

h) The filtered, clean and odourless water from filtered water tank is then fed through a variable

frequency drive hydro-pneumatic system to the external treated effluent rings as per the

master plan, from where connections are taken to the garden hydrant system and to each unit

for flushing water as per detailing.


235


i) Excess sludge from the tube settler will be taken periodically into sludge holding tank. In this

tank sludge will be aerated for self-stabilization. Air will be shut off periodically and

superannuate water will be transferred to the aeration tank creating stabilized sludge. The

final sludge shall be de-watered through a centrifuge mechanism. Sludge loading

arrangements shall also be provided for direct disposal of sludge to sludge tankers / trolleys.

9.3 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

2 nos. of Rain Water Harvesting pits are proposed in the complex which has already been installed.

Scheme for Ground Water Recharging

The rainwater will be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface /

underground drainage network. The entire campus will be sub divided for recharging structures.

The rainwater will be diverted into the de-silting tank to remove inorganic impurities and the

outflow of the de-silting tank is taken into the recharge well.

De-silting Tank

The de-silting tanks will be used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater. De-

silting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow.

Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge

structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand) to allow standing

water to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these de-silting chambers shall be

utilized for horticulture.


237


Recharge well

The Recharge Well consist the pit with 150 mm UPVC perforated pipe will be lowered in the middle

of the boreholes and the pit will be filled with gravel and pebbles consisting of boulders, gravel

and coarse sand. The mouth of the PVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The

depth of the bore will depend on the soil condition/water strata. The schematic diagram is

enclosed. It should be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water

quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the

groundwater table in the area.

The following characteristics are taken into consideration while selecting plant species for green

belt development and tree plantation.

• They are fast growing and tall trees.

• They are perennial and evergreen.

• They have thick canopy cover.

• They have large leaf area index.

Since tree trunks are devoid of foliage, scrub should form there to give coverage to the trunks.

The landscape plan is enclosed as Annexure 13

9.7.1 Plantation Programme Layout.

Plantation in the project area helps to arrest the particulate matter in the area and hence

attenuate the pollution to a great extent and contribute positively to the environment. The trees

also help in maintenance of regional ecological balance and conform to soil and hydrological

conditions. Indigenous species are preferred for the purpose.
