2. Project background

Telangana is the twelfth largest State in India both in terms of area and population. Telangana is an

important Textile hub in India and has major locational advantages with international airport at

Hyderabad, extensive railway and road network, stable power situation, improved telecommunication

system and plenty of natural resources.

The major cities in Telangana are Hyderabad, Warangal, Mahabubnagar, Karimnagar, Nizamabad,

and Khammam. 15 National Highways of length 2,495 km cross Telangana and 24 State Highways of

length 1,815 km cover the State. South Central Railway headquartered at Secunderabad is the

second highest revenue earning zone in Indian Railways. The international airport at Hyderabad

connects domestic and international destinations and handles cargo to all over the world and major

cities in India.

Telangana is one of the largest producers of long staple cotton with production of around 50 lakh

bales per annum. The State stood at third position in the country in cotton production during the year

2014-15. The State is known for skilled Textile workers but due to absence of industry, they migrated

to other states for their livelihood.

There are 33 spinning mills with capacity of 10 lakh spindles, which consumes only about 20% of the

cotton grown in the State with the rest 80% going to other states for spinning. Capacity utilization of



weaving industry in the State is negligible and there is not much processing capacity available in the

State. There is no further downstream facility like processing and garmenting.

After bifurcation of the State, 75% of the pre-division cotton growing areas have remained in the State

while only 20% of the pre-division spinning capacity remains in the State. Thus, most of the cotton

goes to neighboring states for value addition, and so does the majority of the cotton yarn. The

availability of high cotton production and labour force presents an opportunity to create large

integrated Textile manufacturing capacities in the State. This will also support overall industrial

development in the State.

3. Proposed project

The MTP is proposed to be located in a district which is a major cotton producing district and trading

centre in the State. The region has a strong presence of Textile clusters (Warangal Durries) and

skilled manpower. The proposed Project envisages ploughing back economic benefits of the Park to

the local populace by catering to all activities in the Textile value chain.

TSIIC is a progressive Government organization responsible for planning and development of

industrial infrastructure in the State. TSIIC is known for creating landmark infrastructure projects in the

State, which are fueling economic growth. On 1190 acres of land with world class integrated

infrastructure which shall broadly include:

(i) Common Infrastructure

(ii) Built-Up Physical Infrastructure

(iii) Common Facilities

(iv) Social Infrastructure

The proposed MTP shall be implemented in a phased manner depending on the market demand. Due

to the large size of the Project, a long term strategy shall be adopted for the complete implementation

of MTP. The phasing approach shall not only help in ensuring sustainable development of the Park

but also in ensuring availability of fabric, accessories and man power for 75% of sales value of

garments.

4. Description of Environment

As described of baseline studies of the 10 km radius of surrounding of project site area. The data

collected has been used to understand the existing environment scenario around the proposed

project against which the potential impacts of the project can be assessed. The present activities will

not have any adverse impacts on the surrounding environment.

Environmental data has been collected for monitoring of:-

a) Air

b) Water

c) Noise

d) Soil

e) Socio-economic

f) Biological

.

b) Water Quality

The analysis results indicate that the pH of the ground waters was to be in the range of 7.1 at

Katrapalli (GW4) and 7.8 at Shayampet (GW2). The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were found to be

in the range of 335 mg/l at Shayampet (GW2) and 1684mg/l at Sangem (GW5). Major samples were

above Acceptable limits and all are within the permissible limits. Other parameters like Chlorides and

Sulphates were observed to be well within the acceptable limits. It is seen that the physic chemical

analysis for all the parameters has within the standards as per IS: 10500:2012.

c) Noise Levels

It is observed that the day equivalent and night equivalent noise levels at all locations are within

prescribed CPCB standards.

Day equivalent noise levels (Ld) ranged between 51.8 to 53.9 dB (A) and Night equivalent

noise levels (Ln) ranged between 40.9 to 43.1 dB (A) for residential areas.

Sangem is the only residential cum commercial location where the Day equivalent noise

levels (Ld) is 52.9 dB (A) and Night equivalent noise levels (L

n) is 42.8 dB (A).



d) Soil Quality

The soil samples are analysed and results are obtained is compared with the standard soil

classification given Agriculture Soil Limits. It has been observed that the soils are sandy clay in

texture and neutral in nature. The nutrient and organic matter contents are medium and the soil is

normally fertile. The available Nitrogen is varies from 148 Kg/ha (Kanaparti) to 251 Kg/ha (Project

Site) is indicating low range. The available Phosphorous varies from 6.9 Kg/ha (Chintalapalli) to

11.4 Kg/ha (Venkatapuram) is indicating medium range and available Potassium is varies from 264

Kg/ha (Chintalapalli) to 372 Kg/ha (Mondrai) is indicating High range in the study area.

e) Socio-economic

The information on socio-economic aspects of the study area has been compiled from secondary

sources & Field work, which include various public offices, as indicated in the above section. The

sociological aspects of this study include human settlements, demography, social such as Scheduled

castes and Scheduled Tribes and literacy levels besides infrastructure facilities available in the study

area. The economic aspects include occupational structure of workers.

f) Biological

The area is devoid of vegetation and wildlife. The proposed project site is confined for Mega Textile

Park with an area of 1190 acres. Major scale of flora – fauna activities will be affected by the

proposed activity. There is no Wild Life Sanctuaries (WLS) within 10km from the project site. There is

no Reserve Forest (RF) or Protected Forest (PF).

5. Anticipated Environmental Impacts, Mitigation Measures EMP

The growth of any Industrial sectors and infrastructure developments in villages and towns is bound

to create its impact on socio-economic aspects of the local population. The impacts may be positive

and negative, large and small, long term and short term, reversible and irreversible impacts

depending upon the developmental activity.

Evidently, Economic, social and environmental change is inherent to development. Whilst

development aims to bring about positive change it can lead to conflicts. In the past, the promotion of

economic growth as the driver for increased well-being was the only focus, thus, with caving little

emphasis on adverse social or environmental impacts. The need to avoid adverse impacts and to

ensure long term benefits led to the concept of sustainability. Sustainability becomes also an

essential feature of development as it aims to increase well-being and greater equity in fulfilling basic

needs of present and future generations. Mankind, as developed today, cannot live without taking up

developmental activities for his food, security and other needs. Consequently, there is a need to

harmonize developmental activities with the environmental concerns.



6. Proposed Infrastructure

The facilities in the Park have been designed considering the activities and capacities of the proposed

units being set up in the Park. The list of facilities planned in the Park is given below:

S No. Infrastructure Components

1 Enabling Basic

Infrastructure

Road network including Footpaths & Utility Corridors

Storm Water Drainage System

Domestic & Industrial Water Supply System

Environmentally complaint Sewerage & Effluent Collection &

Treatment System

Market Place for Finished Goods & Product Display Centres

Testing Laboratory

3 Social

Infrastructure

Workers’ Hostel

Housing Zone

Crèche, Medical Facility

Commercial Centers / Recreational Center etc.

4 Built up

Infrastructure

Standard Plug n Play Factory sheds

Considering that the Project shall be implemented over five phases, the Project Cost mentioned

above has been further bifurcated for respective phases based on the total area to be developed in a

particular phase.

Phasing of Mega Textile Park development is essential in reducing financial uncertainty and boosting

potential investors’ confidence; through the minimization of initial capital outlay and risk, and

facilitation of development at manageable pace. Development will begin from a mini-estate and



gradually expand with changing rates of land occupancy. This will ensure practical expansion and

development with organized location of industries throughout Mega Textile Park (MTP).

The phasing plan provides a general guide for development of the MTP and shall be adopted with

flexibility depending on the market demand. The proposed Development Phasing needs to be

reviewed periodically in response to market demand; particularly in the development of new

units/sectors in the future.

7. Support Sought from Government of Telangana (GoT)

GoT has a vision for developing a strong Textile and Apparel Industry in the State which will facilitate

development of the entire value chain with added focus on creation of employment to local people.

The incentives have been suggested through estimation of operational risks and costs and

challenges inherent to the location. Warangal when compared to other Textile hubs in India may not

have a strong presence of complete value chain activities and value adds activities. The propose site

location being in a landlocked area may increase accessibility issues and transportation costs. The

non-availability of desired skill set, the Government may need to announce attractive fiscal and non-

fiscal incentives to lure investments.

As the MTP proposes to house units of various sizes engaged in wide range of Textile and Apparel

activities, the Project seeks additional fiscal and non-fiscal incentives apart from those available under

Telangana Industrial Policy and proposed Textile Policy of the State. Government incentives are

important to attract investments to relocate or expand to a certain identified location.

8. Conclusion

Warangal is the highest cotton growing district in Telangana and has one of the largest cotton market

yards in the region. Apart from cotton, presence of cotton ginning & pressing facilities, availability of

water and good railway & road connectivity make Warangal an attractive destination to establish the

MTP Project. In terms of availability of skilled manpower, it has been seen that majority of skilled

workers in Textile sector who migrated to other Textile hubs such as Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu

and Maharashtra are originally from Warangal.

The MTP will establish state-of-the-art infrastructure, modern plug and play facility and world class

common facilities. The Park will be developed on a vertical integrated model to cover complete Textile

chain in one place. The Project shall meet the Industry standards and compliances and thereby

allowing the member units to complete globally. The Project will help in positioning Telangana as a

global sourcing hub for large scale buyers.

Chapter – 1 Introduction

1.1 Preamble

Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) is a Telangana State Government

initiative for development of industrial areas. TSIIC was incorporated on 4th September 2014, vested

with the objective of providing industrial infrastructure through the development of industrial

Estates/Parks/Areas.

TSIIC has developed mega infrastructure projects including SEZs, biotech parks, MSME clusters,

NIMZ, etc. and also developed other infrastructure projects apart from Industrial Parks on its own.

TSIIC has so far developed over 150 Industrial Parks with areas ranging from 15 acres to 2500 acres.

TSIIC has presence in each and every District.

TSIIC proposes to develop Mega Textile Park (MTP) with state of art manufacturing facilities in

Warangal District, Telangana. TSIIC has identified required land at Shayampet Village of Geesugonda

Mandal and Chintalapalli village of Sangem Mandal; Warangal Rural District. The land acquisition is

almost completed.

1.2 Purpose of the report

TSIIC, a Government of Telangana State undertaking, proposes to setup a Mega Textile Park at

Warangal Rural district, which is a major cotton producing district and trading centre in the state.

The setting up of the park is expected to provide a major boost to the state’s textile sector by

ensuring a fair share of export revenues and also by enabling increased value addition to the cotton

production and employment generation raising the living standard of workers.

The setting up of the park is also expected to bring about a marked improvement in the operational

efficiency of the textile units in the state and reduce the monopoly of merchant exporters. The

proposed Mega Textile Park will be developed with all amenities required for environmental friendly

operation of Textile units, and other units which can be occupied by the industrialists without any

administrative hassles associated with setting up of an industry.

As per the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification dated 14th September’2006 and its

subsequent amendments, the proposed developmental activity of establishing Mega Textile Park

which is less 500 Ha of the area falls under the category ‘B’ of Project Activity 7(c).

In line with the said Notification, a meeting was held in SEAC, Telangana on 21st February’2017 for

finalization of Terms of Reference (ToR). SEAC, Telangana has issued ToR for preparing EIA report

vide letter No: SEIAA/TS/OL/WGL/-18/2017-3543 Dated: 17th March, 2017.

1.3 Identification of project and Project proponent

The proposed MTP is being planned as per global standards to boost productivity, augment

efficiencies, enhance quality and increase competitiveness of the textile industry. The project will

offer an ecosystem for complete textile value chain and set up eco-friendly integrated facility for all



textile related activities. The development strategy of the proposed project is based on the Fibre to

bales per annum. The state stood at third position in the country in cotton production during the

year 2014-15. The state is known for skilled textile workers but due to absence of industry, they

migrated to other states for their livelihood. The proposed MTP shall be planned as an integrated

textile park covering all the trades of textile viz. from yarn to finished product with all requisite

infrastructure facilities to provide a conducive working environment to the units in the Park and also

to the workforce. The Park shall be an environment friendly eco-system comprising of physical and

common infrastructure components interwoven with green spaces.

The proposed MTP shall be implemented in a phased manner depending on the market demand.

Due to large size of the project, a long term strategy shall be adopted for the complete





implementation of the project. The phasing approach will help in ensuring sustainable development

of the park and also in ensuring availability of fabric, accessories and man power.

1.7 Need/Justification for the Project

Telangana is one of the largest cotton producing states in India but only 20% of the cotton produced

in the State is used by Industry present in the State. The remaining 80% of the cotton produced by

Telangana goes to other states for spinning and thereby losing the opportunities for value addition,

employment creation and socio-economic up-liftment of the local population. Looking at the

potential for value addition in the State, an integrated MTP shall not only help in strengthening the

economy but also help in stemming the migration of skilled textile workers to other states with

Textile industries. It has been found that more than 5 lakh workers in Textile centers such as Surat,

Bhiwandi, Sholapur are originally from Telangana and migrated for jobs.



With an objective to address the gap in present Textile Industry in Telangana, TSIIC envisages setting

up of a MTP in Warangal Rural District. The Park will house common infrastructure, plug and play

facilities, common facilities and social infrastructure to support all activities in textile value chain.

The Project will be developed with the objectives to help the Indian Industry and particularly the

units in Telangana to become globally competitive and to help the State in creating employment and

thereby addressing the issue of labour migration.

In order to provide the Textile Industry with world-class infrastructure facilities for setting up their

Textile units at potential growth centers; Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP) was approved in

July 2005. The Government of India (GoI) has decided to continue SITP in the 12th Five Year Plan. All

the units related to the entire supply chain of Textile Industry are eligible, Government of Telangana

(GoT) proposes to develop a Greenfield “Mega Textile Park” at Warangal, leveraging the inherent

strengths in the sector visà-vis industry presence and high cotton production. GoT has appointed

TSIIC as the nodal agency for the Project. The Project is proposed to be funded by TSIIC with financial

support from GoI under SITP. Some of the support facilities like CETP etc.; will be developed in a

Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.

TSIIC now intends to undertake a comprehensive programme for development of MTP and thereby

facilitate the economic development in the State. TSIIC envisages that developing Textiles parks in

the backdrop of successful implementation will facilitate additional investment, employment

generation and increase in Textiles production. TSIIC has engaged IL&FS Clusters Development

Initiative Limited (IL&FS Clusters) to facilitate the programme development and implantation of the

Project.

1.7.1 Demand Assessment

Warangal is the highest cotton growing district in Telangana and has one of the largest cotton

market yards in the region. Apart from cotton, presence of cotton ginning & pressing facilities,

availability of water and good railway & road connectivity make Warangal an attractive destination

to establish the MTP Project. In terms of availability of skilled manpower, it has been seen that

majority of skilled workers in Textile sector who migrated to other Textile hubs such as Andhra

Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are originally from Warangal.

The annual cotton production in Telangana is 43 lakh bales per annum, equivalent to 85 lakh quintals

of lint. Though, spinning is already in excess capacity nationally, Warangal has a unique advantage of

availability of cotton and is one of the prominent hubs for cotton trade in the country. Presently,

cotton after sizing is transported to far of places like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat

majorly for spinning and value added services. In this context, there is a natural demand for spinning

and value added services which could be explored in the Textile Park.


common facilities. The Park will be developed on a vertical integrated model to cover complete

Textile chain in one place. The Project shall meet the Industry standards and compliances and

thereby allow the member units to complete globally. The Project will also help in positioning

Telangana as a global sourcing hub for large scale buyers.



1.8 Project Development Plan

The development of the MTP is a long term strategy and it is important to phase the Project to

ensure sustained development of the Park. The phasing will ensure availability of fabric, accessories

and manpower for 75% of sales value of garment. The Project marketability shall also be focused and

it will be important to identify entrepreneurs with experience in the manufacturing and willing to

establish new units or reallocate part of existing units. The region proposed for MTP is well suited for

export to Japan and other Eastern countries.

Phasing of mega textile park development is essential in reducing financial uncertainty and boosting



gradually expand with changing rates of land occupancy. This will ensure practical expansion and

development with organized location of industries throughout MTP.

1.9 Scope of the study

The primary objective of the EIA studies is to internalize and integrate the environmental concerns /

aspects, and mitigation measures into the project planning stages like basic design, detailed design,

and construction and operation phases of the project. Monitoring and feedback on Health, Safety

and Environment (HSE) and training activities can be planned thoroughly and effectively with the

help of these studies. To achieve the above objectives the following strategy is recommended.

1. EIA is to be prepared with baseline data collection and making use of preliminary design

specifications/data of the proposed operations.

2. The findings and recommendations of the study are to be incorporated into the project

planning, design, construction and operation stages of the project.

3. The EIA will cover one season baseline environmental data, as per ToR issued by SEAC. The

scope includes collection of baseline data with respect to major Valued Environmental

Components (VECs); defined as fundamental elements of the physical, biological or socio-

economic environment, including the air, water, soil, terrain, vegetation, wildlife, birds and

land use that may be affected by a proposed project along with the parameters of human

interest and prediction and evaluation of environmental impacts to delineate Environmental

Management Plan (EMP).

In order to assess the likely impacts arising out of the proposed project on the surrounding

environment and recommending environmental safeguards to alleviating the likely negative

impacts, TSIIC has engaged M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. (RESPL) as their environmental

consultant. RESPL had carried out the Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) studies for

various environmental components and submitting REIA, which are likely to be affected and

suggested EMP.

The scope of study includes detailed characterization of existing status of environment in an area of

10 km from the proposed project as its centre for various environmental components.

Any developmental activity in general is expected to cause impacts on surrounding environment of

the project site during its implementation and operation phases, which can be both positive and



negative. The nature and intensity of impacts on different components of environment depend on

the type of project activities and geographical conditions of the study area. The impacts of the

project activities on environmental components can be quantified through EIA Studies within the

impact zone of the project activities. The results of EIA Studies form the basis for the preparation of

a viable EMP for mitigation of the impacts.

Figure 2.1 Location map of the proposed project site



Figure 2.2 Conceptual Master Plan for the Mega Textile Park



The master plan has been conceptualized considering the opportunities and constraints of the site. To

summarize, the design philosophy revolves around prioritizing various aspects viz., circulation, land

suitability, environmental sustainability and topography to optimize various land uses. Such an approach

shall ensure that various stakeholders of the project as well as the environment are benefited.

2.4.1 Planning considerations

Planning for the proposed project is carried out based on the concept of zoning. Zoning of area for

industrial use, common utilities, entrance and exit, access roads, utility corridors, etc. is done based

on the following.

a) Site topography: The site is predominantly plain sloping towards the north east. The maximum

difference in levels in the site is 14m. These topographical aspects were considered for water,

wastewater and storm water management.

The terrain of the Project site is generally flat. The land area of the Project site is mostly vacant land

with grass, open scrub other mixed vegetation. Agricultural land of corn, maize, cotton and paddy

cultivation is available in and around the Project site. There are also mango groves in the area. Some

parts of the Project site are rocky in nature. There is no forest area in the Project site. There are no

national parks, marine parks, sanctuaries, wild life habitats, biosphere reserves, within 15 km of the

proposed Project boundary. The Warangal Fort and other structures of archaeological importance

and heritage sites located in Warangal are at a distance of about 8 km (aerial distance) from the

boundary of the project site.

Canal from the Sri Rama Sagar Project (SRSP) adjoins the Project site on the west and south. The

SRSP is an Indian flood-flow Project on the Godavari River. SRSP is an irrigation Project across river

Godavari in Telangana to serve irrigational needs in Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad, Nalgonda, and

Khammam districts.

b) Existing and Proposed Road Network: The project site is about 21 Km from Warangal city. It can

be accessed by road via Warangal – Narsampet road which also leads to Khammam, Kothagudem &

Bhadrachalam. This road is a two lane highway with divided carriageway at some portions and

without a divided carriageway at few stretches. The already existing roads were taken into

consideration while proposing to expand the road network.

There is also an alternative road connectivity that goes through Shayampet & Vanchanagiri villages.

This road is longer in distance and narrow in width for RoW.

A dedicated corridor will be developed for the project originating at Gangadevipally; a village on the

Warangal Narsampet Road. This requires a new alignment to be developed from the main road up

till reaching the existing road after bypassing Parvathagiri, Mariyapuram and Ookal Villages which is

beneficial as social issues will be minimised and also the corridor will be more or less straight in

alignment without many kink/bends. Approximately 2.4 km length of land will need to be acquired

for the access road from Gangadevipally till the existing road. The alignment mostly traverses

through fields;



The new alignment also envisages a RoB over the railway line through the project site and onto the

other side into existing project lands, thereby enabling direct access and connectivity into the

project site.

Figure 2.3 Proposed Dedicated Access Road

Figure 2.4 Regional Road connectivity



2.4.2 Overall Project Site zoning

The proposed project area of 1190 acres is proposed to be divided into following 5 zones. Based on

the zoning concept, land use is prepared incorporating the current plot divisions and possible future

sub divisions. The industrial plots, common utilities, infrastructure services are conveniently located

based on the site boundary, contour and other factors. In the land designated for industrial

activities, industrial clusters are preferred to individual industries which results in synergy and co-

existence and optimal sharing of industry related facilities.

2.4.2.2 Proposed Production Process

Textile manufacturing process involves long and complicated processes. Textile fibers are converted

to yarn and grey fabrics. The grey fabric is then converted into finished fabrics to finally manufacture

garments.

1. The basic manufacturing process flow chart is given below.

Figure 2.8 Basic Textile Manufacturing process flow chart

a. Textile Fibers Fibre is any substance that has high length to width ration. However apart from having high

length to width ration, Textile fibers have suitable characteristics for being processed into

fabric.

b. Yarn Yarn is a continuous strand which is made by natural or synthetic Fibre or material twisted or

laid together that can be made into a textile fabric. Yarn may be divided into two groups

depending on their use – weaving yarn and knitting yarn.

c. Grey Fabric

A cloth of flexible planar substance constructed from solutions, fibers, yarns in any

combination. Grey fabric is the fabric before finishing such as dyeing, printing or any other

finishing activities. Generally grey fabric is not ready for making garments.

d. Finished Fabrics

The fabric that is comes as a result of dyeing, printing or any other finishing process is called finished.

e. Garments

Garments are final step of Textile processing.

2. The main processes involved in manufacturing of Textile products are given below.

a. Spinning

Spinning is the first step in Textile processing. The process of making yarns from Textile

fibers is called spinning. Spinning from fiber to yarn is a very complex process. The

process flows involved in spinning process given in below Figures.

Figure 2.9 Process flow chart for cotton yarn ring spinning

Figure 2.10 Process flow for Cotton Yarn Open end spinning

b. Knitting

The process by which fabric is produced by set of connected loops from a series of yarn in weft or

wraps direction is called knitting. Knitted fabrics are produced by knitting technology. The process

c. Weaving

The process of producing a fabric by interlacing warp and weft threads is known as weaving. The

machine used for weaving is known as weaving machine or loom. Weaving is an art that has been

practiced for thousands of years. Weaving machines are classified according to their filling insertion

mechanism. They are mainly classified into two categories – shuttle and shuttle-less. The basic

process flow chart of weaving shown in Figure 2.12.

d. Yarn dying

Yarn dyeing is slightly difference from woven or knit dyeing. Dyed yarns are used for making stripe

knit or woven fabrics or solid dyed yarn fabric or in sweater manufacturing. Yarns are dyed in

package form or hank form by yarn dyeing process. The process flow chart for yarn dyeing is shown

below Figure 2.13.

Figure 2.12 Basic process flow chart of weaving

Figure 2.13 Yarn dying

e. Garmenting

Various units would sew different parts of the garment, such as the sleeves, hand sewing or

trimming, as required. The product would thereafter pass through quality control, ironed and hand

tagged before being put into the inventory for shipment. The process of embroidery involves putting

patterns/designs on the garment. The process for manufacturing of woven garment process flow

2.5.1 Water supply system

2.5.1.1 Water demand

Water resources for the proposed Project are of two fold. There is the SRSP canal which runs close to

the Project site. The SRSP canal is a perennial source of water mainly used for irrigation purposes.

The other source of water at the Project site is the Bhagiratha project, which is a drinking water

project for every household in Telangana. Bore water, will also be used to sustain the Project needs.

The proposed park comprises units in textile value chain, common facilities, social infrastructure and

fire safety. The water requirement is calculated based on the requirement for the processing and

domestic usage. The calculated aggregate ultimate water requirement for the MTP is about 40 MLD.

The total water balance as follows:

Domestic water assumptions: Employees 190000 @45LPD; Workers in quarters 1500 @ 135 LPD; Greenbelt @ 10KLD/acre Source of water: SRSP Canal & Ground water

The industrial water demand within the park is estimated at 31.20 MLD, out of which about 20.6

MLD shall be for textile processing units. Though the total water requirement is 40 MLD, the treated

effluent from the CETP and CSTP to the tune of about 18 MLD shall also be topped up in the system

for textile processing units and rest of the treated water will be used greenbelt, flushing, dust

suppression, etc. Domestic water requirement is estimated at 8.80 MLD which includes the potable

and non-potable needs of industrial workers. Firefighting demand in the Park is estimated at 0.11

MLD.

2.5.1.2 Reuse of Water

An underground sewerage network has been designed to collect sewage from each building and

convey it to a sewage treatment plant. At the STP, the sewage would be treated to acceptable

standards and the treated sewage could be used for irrigation purpose within the proposed park, for

greenbelt development.

2.5.2 Sewage Treatment System

a. A sewage treatment plant of 15 MLD (2.5MLD x 4 units) capacities using attached growth activated sludge process has been proposed for the MTP.

b. When the CSTP reached the about 70% of the capacity, the next phase of CETP shall be proposed.



c. The STP shall have a screen and grit removal mechanism followed by an equalization tank, aeration tanks with extended aeration and sludge recycling facility, secondary clarifier with sludge removal mechanism, sand and activated carbon filters and a treated sewage tank.

d. Bleaching powder doses will be used for chlorination before disposal of the treated sewage. It is proposed that treated sewage will be used to the extent possible for landscaping and flushing of toilets.

2.5.3 Effluent Collection and Treatment System

The core textile processing facilities and the other textile units in the park are expected to generate

about 20.6 MLD. The waste water so generated will be conveyed through pipes and discharged into

the effluent treatment plant. The effluent collection network would be of about 22607m in and

would be separated from the domestic sewage collection system. The proposed CETP shall be

phased out as 5 MLD x 4 units. When the CETP reached the about 70% of the capacity, the next

phase of CETP shall be proposed.

The treatment process proposed is a biological treatment. Effluent shall be processed using

extended aeration technology with aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers with sludge handling and

processing units. The treated effluents shall be used for mass foresting in that area.

2.5.3.1 Design Basis and Treatment Scheme – CETP with Units and Equipment

After studying the topographic survey, collection and conveyance points’ survey, geotechnical

investigation reports and pollution load after sampling and analysis, the subsequent step is to work

out the treatment scheme and the design basis and specification of equipments of the proposed 20

MLD CETP.

2.5.3.2 Major components of CETP

The Major components in a ZLD based CETP includes, Collection and conveyance system, Pre-

treatment section, RO section and Evaporator section. The schematic flow chart of CETP is given in

Figure 2.15.

Figure 2.15 CETP schematic flow chart



2.5.3.3 Collection & Conveyance System

Collection and conveyance system would comprise DI/HDPE/Cement pipe line to transport the raw

effluent from member units, manholes for cleaning, collection sump to receive effluent and effluent

transfer pumps to pump the untreated effluent to the CETP. The choice of pipeline material depends

on the nature (acidic/alkaline/ corrosive) of the effluent and costs. In some clusters, tankers are used

for transportation of effluents. Transportation with tankers may be viable where it is difficult to lay

pipelines and the volume of effluents to be transported is low, along with close monitoring (with GPS

tracking) & licensing, to avoid illegal discharges. In this Project, no transportation of effluent through

tankers are envisaged. The conveyance system for the Project would be through the following

pipeline networks:

a. Untreated or raw effluent collection and discharge network from the individual units to the CETP

b. Recovered water conveyance systems for return of recovered water from CETP to individual units

c. Recovered brine solution from CETP to member units

This consists of sewer network with gravity pipeline, Collection wells, intermediate pumping stations

& Online monitoring instruments including Electro Magnetic Flow Metering system (EMFM). DI pipes

with cement mortar coating have been used for Raw Effluent system and recovered water and HDPE

pipes have been used for Brine solution. The raw effluent from ember units is collected and

transferred to the Storage and Homogenization tank followed by Pretreatment, Reverse Osmosis

and Thermal Evaporation process. The entire systems are monitored through PLC/SCADA which is

connected with the website. The above collection and conveyance system is presented in the

schematic diagram Figure 2.16.

2.6 Storm water management

2.6.1 Design Considerations

Designing of the storm water disposal system would be a key design aspect of the proposed Park.

Considering the topographic features and the levels at the site with the corresponding off-site

drainage network, a network of storm water drains parallel to the proposed road network has been

planned to drain the storm water.

2.6.2 Design parameters

The following factors are taken into consideration for planning of the storm water drainage system:

The pattern of natural slope of the site, its extent and direction.

Strom water drained towards the ponds, thus natural drainage system in the downstream area.

The road network system envisaged and level of the roads.

The rain fall run off from plots/units, and other covered areas into catch basin connected to branch drain lay along the road adjacent property line. The branch drain carries the water into lateral, which in turn carries it to the trunk drain.

The rainwater from open spaces and from isolated places, flow over the ground following the natural slope and get into the nearest drain through the vertical grating.

As a camber of 2.5% on the pavement is provided, the runoff from the ROW shall flow towards the drains provided at either side of road.

For design of storm water drainage system for the park, following design parameters are considered:

- Rainfall Intensity: 45mm / hr for a return period of 2 years

- Runoff factor: 60% runoff factor from the total area

- Minimum gradient: 1 in 300

- Minimum velocity: 0.6 m /sec

2.6.3 Proposed drainage system

The network shall be designed to drain away the runoff from the plots and the roads would

comprise of open rectangular RCC drains with PCC floor. The storm water flow will finally drain into a

lead off storm water drainage system connected to the road system.

2.7 Integrated waste Management The main goal of Integrated Waste Management (IWM) planning in the Park is to optimise waste

management by maximizing efficiency, and minimizing associated environmental impacts and

financial costs. The waste hierarchy in IWM starts with waste prevention and minimization followed

by recycling/reuse, finally treatment and disposal. The system should be planned considering the

safety of workers and safeguard public health by preventing the spread of disease.

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) proposed for the park envisages a comprehensive

waste management system comprising collection & segregation, reuse/ recycling, temporary storage



and disposal. To accomplish this adequate numbers of bins, pickup vans, dumpers, compacters,

manpower, etc. will be employed. A primary collection system shall be put in place wherein

dedicated staff will be provided with tri-cycles and engaged in street sweeping activities Collection

bins would be located at convenient locations and such waste shall be transferred by the staff to the

nearest bin which would be collected by the tractor-cum-trailer.

The solid waste generated from street sweepings, packaging and other commercial activities in the

industrial units which is dry in nature and does not include the process wastes from the industries

shall also be collected and stored in segregation.

The overall collection activity itself would also involve segregation and as suggested in the table

above, the waste collected would be stored in a temporary storage facility which shall be designed

as per the CPCB/ MoEF guidelines and would have storage capacity of up to 90 days. Organic waste

segregated during collection itself will be sent to nearest composting facility and industrial dry waste

to any waste recycling facility. The rest will be sent for final disposal to a secured landfill facility.

2.8 Power supply

The following are the feasible options for drawing from grid.

2.8.1 Power Demand

The aggregate power demand of the Park is estimated to be approximately in the order of 210 MW

for the textile units, common amenities, social infrastructure, street lighting etc. including common

infrastructure. For the purpose of estimation the internal distribution of the complete park is

considered, including the cost of distribution transformers.

2.8.2 Transmission of Power

Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited (TSNPDCL) shall be responsible for

distribution and bulk supply of power in this area. There are three existing substations close to the

Project site;

a. 33/11 kV substation at Geesugonda at approximately 4 km (aerial distance from closest

project boundary).

b. 33/11 kV substation at Vanchanagiri at approximately 2.5 km (aerial distance from closest

Project boundary).

c. 132 kV substations at Geesugonda at approximately 4 km (aerial distance from closest

Project boundary).

TSNPDCL will be requested to setup the proposed sub-station as part of external infrastructure

assistance under the Industrial Development Policy.

2.8.3 Primary Distribution

a. 33 KV/ 11 Receiving stations: These stations are to be located in the load centres for sourcing of power to each utility area. 11 KV level as transformed from 33 KV level would be reticulated as ‘HV (11 KV) distribution system’ within the entire project area.



b. Maximum Capacity of each 33/ 11 kV station is 15 MVA as per norms and nos. of stations would thus depend upon the anticipated load demand as projected.

c. 11/ 0.415 KV Plinth/ Pole mounted Stations: These 11 KV stations would be located for sourcing of power to all residential units/ plots and commercial/ public amenities with load demand less than 75 KW (each). These numbers will be considered on approximate basis.

d. 132/ 33/ 11 KV Transmission link to large/ medium and small Industrial units from Grid Station. Substation of these industrial units will be located within each industrial unit. However, route of each capacity/ voltage rating transmission link would be along the road and this aspect would be considered at Master Planning stage.

e. Route of 33 KV Transmission link whether underground or overhead would be along internal roads and this aspect would be considered at planning stage of all type of roads.

2.9 Manpower

The manpower requirement during operations basically depends on the industries proposed to be

located in the park. The estimated total manpower requirement on completion of the project work

during operation of all the industrial units in the park is projected in Table 2.6

Table 2.6 Manpower

Details Total

Direct & Indirect Employment in industries 184539

Direct and Indirect employment Amenities (common services) 3000

2.10 Project Cost

Phasing of mega textile park development is essential in reducing financial uncertainty and boosting



gradually expand with changing rates of land occupancy. This will ensure practical expansion

and development with organized location of industries throughout the MTP.

The phasing plan provides a general guide for development of the MTP and shall be adopted with

flexibility depending on the market demand. The proposed Development Phasing needs to be

reviewed periodically in response to market demand; particularly in the development of new

units/sectors in the future. The component like CETP will be taken up on Public Private Partnership

(PPP) mode.

2.11 Site Development

Ground development is required before commencement of any construction activity at site. This

activity would consist of cutting, removing and disposing of all materials such as bushes, shrubs,

stumps, roots, grass, weeds, top organic soil, rubbish, etc. from the area of work.

Ground development would also include necessary excavation, backfilling of pits resulting from

uprooting of trees and stumps to required compaction, handling, salvaging, and disposal of cleared

materials, etc. All excavations below the general ground level arising out of the removal of trees,

stumps, etc., shall be filled with suitable material and compacted thoroughly so as to make the

surface at these points conform to the surrounding area.

The site shall be accessible by a Gate House structure with entry/exits and a security office.



Chapter – 3

Description of the Baseline Environment 3.1 Introduction

Baseline environmental status in and around the proposed project depicts the existing conditions of

air, water, noise, soil, ecological studies, land utilization and socio-economic environment. The

baseline data was collected for various environmental components to compute the impacts that are

likely to be arising out of the industrial activities covering an area of 10 km radially, from the

proposed Mega Textile Park at Warangal.

3.2 Baseline environmental studies

The main aim of the impact assessment study is to find out the impact of the project on the

environment. This study is carried out during the project planning stage itself, so that the proponent

can implement the project in a technically, financially and environmentally viable way.

The success of any impact assessment study depends mainly on two factors. One is assessment of

the environmental condition and the second one is estimation of impact from proposed project on

the environment. Both are key factors to arrive at the post project scenario. The estimated impact

due to the project can be superimposed over the existing conditions to arrive at the post project

scenario. The scope of the baseline studies includes detailed characterization of following

environmental components which are most likely to be influenced by setting up an industry:

Meteorological conditions Ambient air quality Noise levels Water quality (surface + ground)

Soil quality Ecological studies Socio economic studies Land utilization

3.2.1 Monitoring period

Meteorological data was collected for the study area during the months of winter season (December

2016 to February 2017). Wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and relative humidity were

recorded on hourly basis during the study period. Secondary meteorological data has been collected

from the nearest IMD station of Hanamkonda.

3.3 Meteorology

Regional meteorological scenario helps to understand the trends of the climatic factors. It also helps

in determining the sampling stations in predicting the post project environmental scenario.

Meteorological scenario exerts a critical influence on air quality as the pollution arises from the

interaction of atmospheric contaminants with adverse meteorological conditions such as

temperature inversions. Atmospheric stability and topographical features like hills, canyons and

valleys.



The climate in the project area is generally dry, humid and hot. During the winter season, the

predominant wind direction recorded was south to north closely follow by South East. The calm

percentage recorded is 12.5% and the average wind speed for the season i.e. winter season is 2.41

m/s. The maximum temperature recorded is 12.8°C and minimum is 36.2°C with a maximum

humidity level of 88%.

The study of meteorological conditions forms an intrinsic part of the environment impact

assessment study. The meteorological conditions of an area have a definite influence over the other.

Summary of the climatological data (Station at Hanamkonda) is taken from India Meteorological

Department (IMD), Climatological data (from 1981 to 2010) given in Table 3.1. An average

temperature and rainfall details of Warangal from 2010-2016 are shown in Figure 3.1 and 3.2.

3.3.1 Climatic Conditions

The climate in the study region is generally dry, humid and hot and is characterized with seasonal

variations as follows:

Summer March to May Post monsoon September to November

Monsoon June to August Winter December to February



Project area falls under the hot temperate climate zone and hence it experiences very hot and dry

climate. Summer season start from March stays till May. Rainy season due to the monsoon starts

from June to August and Post monsoon is from September to November. The critical weather

elements that influence air pollution are wind speed, wind direction, temperature, which together

determines atmosphere stability. Hence it is an indispensable part of any air pollution studies and

required for interpretation of baseline information. The details of the temperature, relative humidity

and rainfall observed during study period as micro meteorological data is given in Table 3.2.

3.3.2 Wind Pattern during study period (winter season)

Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere has significant impacts on

neighborhood air environment. The dispersion/dilution of the released pollutant over a large area

will result in considerable reduction of the concentration of a pollutant. The dispersion in turn

depends on the weather conditions like the wind speed, direction, temperature, relative humidity,

mixing height, cloud cover and also the rainfall in the area. Normally the impacts surrounding the

project site are studied in detail.

Site-specific meteorological data was generated during the study period winter season, 2016-17

(December 2016 to February 2017). Automatic weather station was installed at Shayampet village

(near project site) to record the meteorological parameters during the study period. Meteorological

parameters recorded include temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity and rainfall

to understand the prevailing surface and upper air conditions for Air Quality modelling. The

parameters like wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, station pressure, cloud cover, ceiling

height, precipitation and temperature, etc. have been considered as a meteorological input to the

model.

Wind speed and direction data recorded during the study period is useful in identifying the influence

of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the IMD meteorological data, wind roses that

is the diagrammatic representation of wind speed and wind direction along with their persistence

for a fractional period of occurrence at a given location is constructed. Wind roses on sixteen sector

basis have been drawn. Wind directions and wind speed frequency observed during study period for

winter season is given in Table 3.3 wind rose diagram is given in Figure 3.3.

3.4 Sampling Locations

In order to identify the baseline quality of Air, Noise, Water (Surface and Groundwater) and Soil in

surroundings of the project area, sampling locations are identified.

3.4.1 Basis for Selection of the Monitoring Locations

The selection criteria for monitoring locations are based on the following:

- Topography/Terrain

- Meteorological conditions

- Residential and sensitive areas within the study area

- Representatives of regional background air quality/pollution levels and

- Representation of likely impacted areas.

3.5 Ambient air quality monitoring stations

To evaluate the baseline air quality of the study area, Ten (10) monitoring locations have been

identified as per MoEF&CC guidelines. A map showing the monitoring locations and the details of

the locations are given below.

3.5.1 Ambient Air Quality monitoring Techniques and frequency

3.6 Ambient noise levels

Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at Ten (10) locations. The

noise monitoring locations in the study area was selected after giving due consideration to the

various land use categories. The land use categories include commercial, residential and rural areas.

Noise levels were recorded on an hourly basis for one complete day at each location using pre-

calibrated noise levels. A map is showing the monitoring locations and the details of the same are

given in Table 3.6.

3.6.1 Noise Levels in the Study Area

Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the day equivalent (Ld) and

night equivalent (Ln) were calculated.

Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 am hours to 10:00 pm hours

Ln: Average noise levels between 10:00 pm hours to 6:00 am hours

The Day-Night (Ldn) equivalent noise levels were calculated using the US Environmental Protection

Agency Formula.

Ldn = 10 Log [0.0416 {16(10Ld/10) + 8 (10Ln+10/10)}]

The comparison of day equivalent (Ld) and night equivalent noise levels (Ln) with the respective CPCB

stipulated noise standards for various categories and results are shown Table 3.7 and monitoring

locations map is shown in Figure 3. 5.

levels (Ld) is 52.9 dB (A) and Night equivalent noise levels (Ln) is 42.8 dB (A).

3.7 Water Environment

Surface and groundwater samples were collected from different sources within the study area and some important physical and chemical parameters including heavy metals were considered for depicting the baseline status of the study area.

3.7.1 Water quality assessment

Selected water quality parameters for water resources of the study area have been used for

describing the water environment and assessing the quality of it. To assess the water quality, water

resources in the area have been grouped into 2 classes.

a. Ground water resources in the deeper strata of the ground b. Surface water resources

About 10 no. of ground water and 07 no. of surface water samples were collected from the study

area to assess the water quality during the study period. The ground water samples were drawn

from the hand pumps and tube wells/ bore wells being used by the villagers for their domestic needs

not drinking purpose.

Surface water sampling was carried out from major tanks/ponds/lakes within 10 km of the proposed

project site. The details of the locations are given in Table 3.8, results are given in Table 3.9, 3.10

The soil analysis results are presented in Table 3.12. The result obtained is compared with the

standard soil classification given Agriculture Soil Limits. It has been observed that the soils are sandy

clay in texture and neutral in nature. The nutrient and organic matter contents are medium and the

soil is normally fertile.

3.9 Traffic Study

Anthropogenic emissions not only contribute to the greenhouse effect but also participate in the

reaction that results in photochemical oxidants. The effect of photochemical oxidants is well known

for forming smog particularly in the urban areas.

Among the anthropogenic sources of pollutants forming the greenhouse gases, burning of fossil fuels

constitute a major source. Highway mobile sources that contribute significantly to poor quality have

been regulated for the past two decades in countries like India. The absence of regulation in

developing countries has caused a global concern regarding potential environmental damage on a

larger scale.

In countries like India automobiles especially two-wheelers are a very popular mode of personal

transport for socio-economic reasons. They constitute to about 70-95% of the total passenger’s

vehicles. About the same percentage of two-wheeler vehicles are powered by two-stroke engines

because of low initial and maintenance costs. However these two stroke engines have high emission

levels which are of the major concern. Moreover, these emissions are concentrated in urban area,

further contributing to already polluted “heat islands”. Poor public transportation and high

transportation fares, increasing cost of living and greater demand for mobility may be attributed to a

surge in the number of personal vehicles during the last decade.

The objective of traffic study and emission quantification is to assess the magnitude of the emissions

resulting from two-wheelers, three wheelers, and four wheelers that are extensively used as a

means of common transport within the urban areas.

A detailed traffic survey was conducted in the study area and also to evaluate the impacts of the

increased traffic due to the proposed activity.

Vehicular emissions are the major source of air quality impacts in the study area. The principal cause

of air pollution during the construction phase is the diesel-powered vehicles used in haulage of

aggregates, earth and other construction material. Air quality could be affected by dust & particulate

matter arising due to site clearing, vehicular emissions etc. Gaseous emissions like SO2, NOx, and CO

might be released from the vehicular movement, which has a direct impact on the environment.

Increase in the traffic in the study area has a direct impact on the resources as a heavy release of

automobile exhaust is envisaged which has a direct impact on the air quality and the ambient noise

levels in the study area.

3.9.1 Details of traffic study

The methodology adopted for carrying out the traffic study was to select the major roads around the

project site and count the various categories of vehicles moving on these roads. The traffic survey



was carried out at 3 locations. 1. On Warangal – Narsampet road (2lane 2way) road, 2. On site

approach road at Ookal junction (2lane 2way), 3. On site approach road at Vanchanagiri junction (2

lane 2 way) via Shayampet which were connecting to project site.

Vehicular movement observed & recorded on the roads as below:

3.11 Biological Environment

3.11.1 General description of the study area

The study area was divided in two major parts namely the Core area/Project area and buffer area.

Core Area: the core area is mostly comprised of project site and the area is flat with fallow

agriculture land with barren patches.

Buffer Area: The buffer area i.e. area around the project site is majorly occupied by the agriculture

fields. The board categories of the land use types in the buffer area include fallow agriculture fields,

waste land, water bodies and scrubs.

3.11.2 Objectives of Ecological Study

The objectives of the present study are intended to:

Generate baseline data from field observations from various terrestrial and aquatic

ecosystems

Compare the data so generated with authentic past records to understand changes a

Characterize the environmental components like land, water, flora and fauna.

3.11.3 Methods for the study

To accomplish the above objectives, a general ecological survey covering an area of 10 km radius

from the proposed project boundary was done as follows:

Reconnaissance survey for selection of sampling sites in and around the site on the basis of meteorological conditions

Generation of primary data to understand baseline ecological status, important floristic elements

Generation of primary data to understand baseline fauna structure and

Collection of secondary data from Forest Working Plan and Gazetteers.

Compilation of secondary data from published literature of Forest DivisionPrimary data generation through systematic studies which was done through:

Generation of primary data to understand baseline ecological status, fauna structure

and important floristic elements;

Preparing a checklist of plants observed at the site.

Determining the bird population by taking random readings at every location.

Observing mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects through their calls, droppings,

burrows, pugmarks and other signs.

Interaction with local residents



3.11.3.1 Review of secondary data and environmental setting of the project site

With reference to the vegetation of the district, dry deciduous type of forests is observed the study

area. Natural factors include factors such as the altitude, the soil conditions, the quantity and

regularity of the rainfall. All the acquired lands would be used for industrial purposes.

3.11.3.2 Ecological Status

3.11.3.2.1 Terrestrial vegetation and flora of the core zone: Environmental setting and flora of the area identified for the Industrial Park: The area identified for

the TSIIC Mega Textile Park is referred to hereafter as the core area while its surroundings extending

up to 10 Km radius is referred to as the buffer zone. Total area of the park is 1190 Ac (481.85 ha).

The core area comprises of non-forest wastelands and seasonal agriculture lands. It is sparsely

covered by a few shrubs, thorny bushes and some trees. There are no plantations or orchards. Major

part of the land was under dry rain-fed cultivation before it was acquired by the TSIIC for the Mega

Textile Park as evidenced by the existence of field bunds. There will be permanent change of land

use from agriculture/farming land to industrial use. Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), Ber (Ziziphus

nummularia), Musti (Strychnos nux-vomica), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Babul (Acaia nilotica),

Lantana camara, Agave americana, Nirgundi (Vitex negundo) Anisomeles indica, Calotropis procera,

Cassia auriculata, Waltheria indica, Solanum xanthocarpum, were common wild plants found in the

core area and the maize (Zea mays) crop & cotton plantation (Gossypium arboreum) is observed in

the proposed site area.

3.11.3.2.2 Vegetation and Flora of the Buffer zone:

Land use and land cover of the buffer zone reveals the absence of any National Parks or Wildlife

Sanctuaries or Biosphere Reserves or Important Bird Areas (IBAs) or Protected Wetlands within 10

Km radius of the project site. The core area is surrounded mainly by croplands, fallow lands,

degraded vegetation and plantations, irrigation tanks and built-up area. Major Water bodies like

Sangem lake 3.0 Km (S), Yelgur lake 3.5 Km (SE), Gadepally lake 1.5 Km (W), Bhadrakali lake 11.5 Km

(NW) are present in the buffer zone are usually dry in summer, but due to heavy rains in monsoon

season 2016, and the “Mission Kakatiya” Programme of Telangana Government for revival and

restoration of Minor Irrigation Sources in Telangana State, results to collection of good amount of

water in the many of tanks in the district. There are no major streams existing within the site. But,

the SRSP Kakatiya canal is passing adjacent to the site boundary (West and South).

Paddy is the main crop, after paddy, cotton occupies next priority, other crops like sorghum,

sunflower and chilies, maize and pigeon pea, all vegetables, flowers, cereals especially Raagi, pulses

and oil seeds are grown in the buffer zone. But there are many non-cultivable wastelands sparsely

covered with thorny bushes of Maytenus emarginata, Prosopis juliflra, Acacia nilotica as well as

Lantana indica, Calotropis gigantea, Calotropis procera, Cassia auriculata and others. Tamarindus

indica, guava and pomegranate are the other major fruit trees. Eucalyptus and teak are the main

pulpwood and timber plantations respectively. All common avenue and agroforest species are grown

along the roadsides.

There are no rare, endangered and threatened (RET) species existing under wild conditions within

the buffer zone of the MTP. They range in plant cover from open to moderately closed. The major

trees observed are Tamarindus indica, Borassus flabellifer, Albizia procera, Species of Accacia,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossypium_arboreum



Holoptelea integrifolia, Strychnos nux-vomica, Lagerstroemia, Ficus species, Bamboo, Wrightia

tinctorea, Carissa spinarum, Cassia auriculata, Capparis decidua, etc. are common in these fallow

and barren areas. A list of trees, shrubs and perennial climbers found in the buffer zone is given

3.11.3.2.3 Terrestrial fauna of the Core area and the Buffer zone:

As the animals, especially vertebrates and the winged invertebrates move from place to place in

search of food, shelter, mate or other biological needs, separate lists for core and buffer areas are

not feasible. There are no forests or wildlife habitats within the core area. As such there are no

chances of occurrence of any rare or endangered or endemic or threatened (REET) species within

the core area.

There are no Sanctuaries, National Parks, Tiger Reserve or Biosphere Reserve or Elephant Corridor or

other protected areas within 10 Km buffer zone. It is evident from the available records, reports and

circumstantial evidence that the entire study area including the core and buffer areas were free

from any endangered animals. Among the mammals, only Squirrels, Mongoose, Rats, Bandicoots

and Rabbits were seen but rarely during the survey. Monkeys were also rare. Among the reptiles,

Lizards, Garden lizards were common. No snakes or Monitor lizard was seen during the survey.

The amphibians were seen frequently in and around the water bodies. A list of Mammals, Reptiles

and Amphibians either found or reported from the area is given in Table 3.21. A list of birds is given

in Table 3.22. There were no resident birds other than Crows, Parrots, Doves, and Weaver birds,

Swifts, Quails and Mynas. It is apparent from the list that none of the species either spotted or

reported is included in Schedule I of The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

3.11.4 Identification of Environmentally sensitive places/ local protected species

As per Botanical Survey of India records and available published literature pertaining to the study

area and current detailed study of project site, no threatened, endangered and rare plant species

were observed from the study area. There is no national park, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserve

within 10 Km of the study area. As per The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, no critically

endangered, threatened or rare species of wildlife are present within the buffer zone. The archeological

importance & heritage site of Warangal fort is located at a distance of about 8.0 Km (NW) from the

project site. The sensitivity map of the project site is shown in Figure 3.12.

3.11.5 Greenbelt development

Most of the human activities generate pollution of one or other types and of different magnitudes,

to which all the organisms are exposed. More often than not, exposures to some pollution types are

considered unavoidable. Resistance of organisms helps them to overcome the hazards caused by

such exposures. The air pollution emitted by various sources settles on the ground and vegetation of

surrounding area. The plants interact with both gaseous and particulate pollutants and to great

extent absorb them and thus, remove them from the atmosphere. This pollution removal property

of the plants has been known for a long time. For many years tree planting has been promoted by

city planners for the purpose of reducing ground level air pollution.

Out of the total project area of 1190 Acres, 33% of the land will be allotted for greenbelt

development all along the boundary, along the roads & block plantations. (10% at TSIIC park level &

23% Individual Industry level) All along the roads, on both sides avenue trees will be grown at the

rate of 400 per every Km of road at a distance of 5 m.

The Industrial plotted area represents 63.63% (757.67 Ac) of the total land. Besides the common

greenbelt, avenue plantations and block plantations, every industry is required to develop industrial

greenbelts of 5 to 15 m width on all sides in an area of at least 23% of the individual site of the

industry. Thus the total area under Green buffer / greenbelt shall reach 33%. But the trees grown

within the premises of the industries have the potential to make the area green. Once the area is

occupied, the Mega Textile Park under consideration will have more than the stipulated green cover

and industrial greenbelts.

The details of the land allotted for greenbelt and landscaping works are given in Table 3.25.

local species will be planted in 15 m along site boundary

and 2 m along the road.



Warangal rural and urban Districts. The methodology adopted for data collection includes review of

published secondary data such as district census statistics of 2011, which includes: demography,

occupational structure, literacy profile and Social structure, etc.

Similarly, the primary data was collected through administering structured questionnaire, focused

group discussions, observation and key stakeholder interactions in the Core zone of project area

villages. The salient features of the demographic and socio-economic aspects in the Core and Buffer

Zone (hereafter referred as Study area) has been described in the following sections.

3.12.3 Demographic Aspects

3.12.3.4 Sex Ratio

The configuration of male and female indicates that the males constitute to about 50.2% and 49.8%

females of the total population. The sex ratio i.e. the number of females per 1000 males indirectly

reveals certain sociological aspects in relation with female births, infant mortality among female

children and single person family structure, a resultant of migration of industrial workers. The study

area on an average has 993 females per 1000 males.

3.12.4 Social Structure

3.12.6 Occupational Structure

The occupational structure of residents in the study area is studied with reference to main workers,

marginal workers and non-workers. The main workers include 4 categories of workers defined by the

census department consisting of cultivators, agricultural laborers, those engaged in manufacturing,

processing and repairs in household industry; and others including those engaged in household

industry, construction, trade and commerce, transport and communication and all other services.

The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period of less than six months

during the reference year prior to the census survey. The non-workers include those engaged in

unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents, beggars, vagrant’s etc. institutional

inmates or all other non-workers who do not fall under the above categories.

As per 2011 census records, there is a total of 43% main workers in the study area. The marginal

workers and non-workers constitute to 7.4% and 49.6% of the total population respectively.

Therefore, non-workers are predominant in the total distribution of workers by occupation. The

work participation rate is estimated as 50.4% in the study area villages. The occupational structure of

the study area is given in Table 3.30.

3.12.6.1 Dependency Ratio

Based on the occupational structure of the study area the dependency rate of non-workers on the

workers category has been estimated at 1. Hence some economic generating activities should be

developed so that most of the pupils can engage in employment opportunities.

3.12.6.2 Infrastructure and accessibility, Primary Observations in the Core Zone

The following sections ascertains the current existing infrastructural details in surveyed villages in

the core zone, which includes educational institutions, working profile, housing typology and social

composition.

Demographic aspects

As it is illustrated in the table 3.25, the sex ratio in the core zone observed as decent as 1019 women

for 1000 men, and the total socially weaker sections amounts to 24.9 in the core zone.

Occupational Structure

It is also observed that 42% main worker in the total population, whereas marginal workers and non-

workers constitute to 12% and 45.6% of the total population respectively. The distribution of

workers by occupation in the core zone indicates that the non-workers are the predominant

population.

It is also observed that majority of population is dependent on Agriculture and allied activities in the

core area villages. The study also observed the presence of salaried employees in these villages who

has been working as Teachers, employees in the revenue, police departments and road Transport

Corporation.

There are no industries in the core zone, baring few rice mills in the core project area villages. A lot

of un-employed youth travel to Warangal or Hanamkonda to work as daily labour, carpenters,

tailors, construction workers etc.

Literacy Profile:

The male literacy rate is observed as 57.6 and female literacy rate is observed as 42.4 and hence the

total literacy rate is 58.2 has been recorded.



Health Care Facilities and Accessibility:

It 80% of the population are accessed to govt. hospitals and else 20% are accessed to Private

hospitals in the core zone. Majority of the villages has Primary Health Centres as well as

private/registered medical practitioners.

Accessibility to Educational Institutions:

It was observed, that 80% of villages have primary schools, secondary schools and some even have

junior collages which provides education up to Intermediate level. In short, the educational

infrastructure is developed due to closer proximity to major municipal corporations, and district

headquarters. Many students travel to Hanamkonda and Warangal for higher studies.

Water Resources:

Major water sources in our surveyed villages are Water Tanks, Hand pumps, Bore wells, and wells

which have been observed in the core zone. It is observed that few villages also have taps in the core

zone.

Housing Typology:

The 70% of typology of housing is observed as pucca and other 30% is kutcha in the core zone.

Communication Facilities:

The transport and communication facilities are both public and private owned. People travel by

personal vehicles.

Post offices:

80% of villages surveyed are accessed with postal services, while other 20% of villages have to access

nearby town to get postal benefits in the core zone.

Electricity:

All villages are accessed with electricity supply for both phases in the core zone.

Bank facilities:

No village is accessed with bank facilities within the villages.

Heritage/pilgrim interests:

Some of the villagers have accessed with temples

Awareness about Government Schemes and Programs:

Most of the villages surveyed in the core zone are benefitted by government schemes such as old

age pension schemes, widow pensions, MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment

Guarantee Act), housing schemes, mobile health service-104 services etc. The villagers are also

aware of the developments so far as the welfare schemes and measures of the government is

concerned.



Other Observations in the Core Zone

The primary study revealed that 80% of households generate income through cattle rearing and goat

farming. These villages are also connected with existing milk value chain. The local dairy act as a

facilitating channel to enable additional incomes for the village community. Some village Punchayats

also set up veterinary hospitals, which are funded by NABARD. The Gopala Mitra/Para Vet services

are provided all over the cluster of villages.

The socio-Economic study revealed that the youth in the core zone are devoid of employment

opportunities. The employment scenario has been observed as a critical issue in these villages.

Although there are many educated youth in the village, they do not get gainful employment

throughout the year. Many of them work in local companies as casual labour/contract employees for

a period of 2 to 4 months.

During the FGD, it is also observed that many are educated youth in the village of core zone. Some of

them have studied till ITI. As the job scenario is not promising, many of them are migrating to nearby

towns and cities. These youth can be a potential source of workers with minimum handholding and

vocational education skills. The youth have expressed their willingness to setting up of industries in

the area as it provides them gainful employment opportunities. Similarly, this would also trigger

many direct and indirect benefits for economic advancement and social up liftment of project area.

The study also noted an active presence of self-help-groups in the villages. Many of these groups are

acting as micro-finance entities, rotating small amount of loans among the group members.

3.12.7 CSR Works would Carry Out in Future

There has been a possibility of development through CSR and community service in and around the

villages of industrial park. This would develop health, education, skill development, environmental

management of villages in the project area.

3.12.8 Suggestions for Improvement of Socio-Economic Status

The socio-economics status of the population in the project area shall be improved through CSR and

focused community development interventions. Some of the salient activities are illustrated below:

Periodical health checkup camps need to be conducted along with regularization of 104 services which are currently meeting the health care needs of the villages.

The social investment on providing capacity building trainings and strengthening of SHG activities.

Distribution of vitamin and de worming tablets to anganwadi and school going children, distribution of iron tablets to women will bring a tremendous change in the health of women and children.

Fruit distribution to anganwadi children on certain days in a week, construction of child friendly toilet with water facility in the anganwadi etc. will have positive impact.



Providing skill trainings for rural women in tailoring, manufacturing household items like: detergents, soap, toilet cleaners and room fresheners etc. would enhance their income; thereby create better livelihood opportunities for the rural women. These products can be purchased by company will provide additional employment opportunity of the rural women & adolescent girls.

Veterinary camps and para-vet services to enhance the milk production of existing milk producing households.

Chapter – 4

Anticipated Environmental Impacts &

Mitigation Measures

4.1 Introduction

In this chapter the environmental impacts associated with the proposed set-up of Mega Textile Park

(MTP) are identified, characterized, and evaluated systematically. The extent of impact on air, water,

soil, flora and fauna will be evaluated in relation to the environmental pollution. The impacts will be

distinctly direct and indirect, positive and negative, reversible and irreversible. The prediction of

impacts on various environmental parameters during preoperational, operational, and post-

operational activities assists in effective identification of mitigation measures to minimize the

adverse impacts on environmental quality. The prediction of impacts on different sectors has been

studied using scientific tools and the results are anticipated. Such predictions are superimposed over

the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to develop the ultimate (post-project)

scenario of the environmental conditions. The successful environmental impact assessment process

requires proper identification, prediction, assessment, and also communication of the significant

environmental impacts to the public. The details on impact of the project activity on each of the

disciplines mentioned above are discussed below.

The environmental impacts associated due to the proposed MTP are classified into two phases and

the possible impacts are assessed.

1. Impacts during construction phase

2. Impacts during operation phase

4.2 Impact during construction phase

Activities during constructional phase include site clearance, site formation, building works,

infrastructure provision, and any other infrastructure activities.

4.2.1 Impact on air quality

Up gradation of existing roads and construction of new roads approaching the proposed MTP

involves leveling of the earth work, within the proposed MTP, cutting and leveling activity would be

required for providing roads, sewage network, storm water system and administrative buildings for

proposed project.

The potential source of air quality impact arising from the establishment/construction of the

proposed project is fugitive dust generation. The dust, measurable as particulate matter (PM<2.5

µm, PM<10 µm), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) would be generated as a result of

construction activities. During construction, the existing houses nearby may be subjected to the

potential dust impacts.



The potential dust sources associated with the constructional activities are loading and unloading of

the materials, top soil removal, vehicular movement over unpaved roads, and wind erosion, etc. The

possible constructional activities that contribute to the environmental impacts broadly given below:

Dust generation during leveling of earth

Dust generation due to the movement of vehicles on unpaved roads

Emission of pollutants from vehicular exhaust

Unloading of raw materials and removal of unwanted waste material

Accumulation of excavated earth material

4.2.1.1 Proposed mitigation measures

The impact of the above mentioned activities would be temporary and will be restricted to the

constructional phase. However, the impact is generally confined to the proposed project and is

expected to be negligible outside the boundary of the MTP. Nevertheless, the following mitigation

measures will be adopted to limit the environmental impact during constructional phase:

Regular water sprinkling will be done to avoid the dust materials entering into the atmosphere. Furthermore, during windy days, the frequency of the water sprinkling will be increased.

The vehicular movement will be minimized, with a planned scheduling, to reduce the emission of pollutants.

Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed site as a barrier for dust control.

The excavated material shall be reused within the boundary and the movement of cut and fill material will be limited.

Plantation of trees around the proposed boundary and it will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.

All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin or plastic sheet and the unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.

4.2.2 Impact on water quality

The proposed project involves various construction activities and the impact on water quality

associated with each of these construction activities are described below:

Site formation

The preparation of land required for the subsequent development activities generates a significant

amount of construction waste. The site formation may produce large quantities of runoff with high

suspended solids in the absence of appropriate mitigation measures. This potential problem will be

intensified during rainy season.



Construction of buildings

During rainy season, due to the construction of various civil structures, the site runoff results in

significant pollution in the receiving water bodies and washing of different construction equipment

will also result in water pollution.

Site workshop

The storage of used engine oil and lubricants as waste materials has a potential to create impacts if

spillage occurs. Waste oil may infiltrate into the surface soil layers or in the form of runoff into local

watercourses which increases the hydrocarbon levels.

Presence of workers

Wastewater will be generated from eating areas and the sewage will be generated from temporary

sanitary facilities. Significant impact on water quality is envisaged if the sewage is discharged directly

into the receiving waters without any prior treatment.

4.2.2.1 Mitigation measures

During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the site

gets collected in a working pit. If any over flow occurs, the excess water will be diverted to nearby

greenbelt or plantation area.

The domestic wastewater generated from cleaning of equipment and from eating areas will be

collected and diverted to the working pit in which the suspended solids, if any, will be separated. The

settled water will be reused for constructional purposes and for sprinkling on roads to control the

dust emissions.

The wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the workforce will be diverted to septic

tank followed by soak pit. If the wastewater generation is high, a mobile STP will be hired from the

local suppliers. Therefore, impact on water quality due to proposed MTP would be insignificant.

The waste generated from the site workshop like used oil and lubricants etc., will be segregated and

disposed to authorized recyclers. The waste like soiled cotton and/or paper will be disposed to

municipal bins.

4.2.3 Impact on noise levels

The major activities which produce periodic noise during construction phase are as follows:

Foundation works

Fabrication of structures

Plant erection

Operation of construction equipment

Movement of vehicles


The impact on noise environment can be made insignificant by adopting the following mitigation

measures:



Noise generating equipment will be used during daytime for a brief period as per requirements.

Wherever possible the noise generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation.

Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3 m) will be erected around the proposed site as barrier for minimizing the noise travel to surrounding area.

All the vehicles entering into the proposed site will be informed to maintain speed limits and not to blow horns unless it is required.

The workers involved in operating major noise generating equipment will be provided with ear plugs or ear muffs.

4.2.4 Impacts due to solid waste generation

During the constructional stage, the solid waste generated is required to be disposed in an

appropriate and environmentally acceptable manner. The wastes generated from different activities

of constructional phase include the following:

Vegetation and demolition waste from site clearance

Excavated materials from earthworks like cuttings, grading, and foundation works

General construction waste like wood, scrap metal and concrete debris

Domestic waste generated by site workers

Bricks, tiles, etc.

Cement plaster

Steel (from RCC, door, window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase etc.)

Rubble and sand

Stone (marble, granite and sandstone)

Timber and/or wood

Paints and/or varnishes

Besides above there are some major and minor components namely conduits, pipes, electrical

fixtures, panels, etc., also constitutes the solid waste.


The solid waste generated during this period being predominantly inert in nature, construction and

demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution. Hence, maximum effort will be

made to reuse and recycle them. The most of the solid waste material can be used for filing and/or

leveling of low-lying areas. All attempts should be made to stick to the following measures:

All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site itself. A proper screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.

Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.



Materials which can be reused for purpose of construction, leveling, making roads and/or pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land filled.

The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.

The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of the

separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high potential

for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled materials.

Construction waste can be used in the following manner.

Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc., to the extent possible and depending upon their conditions.

Sale or auction of materials which cannot be used at the site due to design constraint.

Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal etc., can be sent for recycling in the industries.

Rubble or brick bats can be used for building activity, such as leveling, under coat of lanes where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.

Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low lying areas.

Fine material such as sand, dust, etc., can be used as cover material.

The unearthed soil can be used for leveling as well as for lawn development.

The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for leveling in the building or can be disposed of.

The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be disposed of by authorized PCB verndors.

4.2.5 Impact on land use

The Present land use is covered with open scrubs, agricultural, barren land, current follow land etc.

The existing vegetation in the proposed industrial park is predominantly bushes and ground level

shrubs/grasses. There are no matured trees within the site and therefore, no major loss of biomass

is envisaged during the construction phase. The land use pattern of the site will be converted to

industrial activities. Furthermore, the impact on surrounding land use during the constructional

activity is negligible, as all the raw materials required will be stored in the designated area within the

boundary of the proposed MTP.

4.2.6 Impact on demography and socio-economics

The impact due to the proposed MTP on demography and socio economic conditions of the study

area will be as follows.

Increase of floating population



Additional strain on civic amenities like road, transport, communication, drinking water, sanitation and other facilities to meet the work force requirement.

Increase in demand for services like hotels, lodges, public transport, and so on

Employment opportunities for construction laborers; skilled and unskilled workers.

Economic up-liftment of the area.

Raising of home rents and land prices and increase in labour rates

Rapid growth of service sector will result in increase of incomes in the area.

More work to civil construction and transportation companies

Expanding of services like retail shops, banks, automobile workshop, schools, hospitals, and so on.

Increase in literacy rates

4.3 Impacts during operation

The major areas identified to assess the environmental impact due to the proposed MTP are:

Topography and climate

Ambient air quality

Water quality

Soil quality

Noise quality

Solid waste generation

Ecology

Demography and socio-economics

Impact on health

4.3.1 Impact on topography and climate

The major topographical changes envisaged would be the manmade structures like erection of plant

sheds, raw material storage space, civil structures, water reservoirs, etc. However, it will also invite

some positive benefits in the form of up gradation of existing roads, land leveling, tree plantations,

greenbelt development, and so on in the proposed MTP vicinity. Being an industrial park, the impact

on the climate due to the exhaust gas could be envisaged. However, the impact on the climatic

conditions from the proposed MTP will be marginal which can be nullified and/or reduced by

developing greenbelt and by adopting pollution prevention equipment like bag filters and mix of

others.

4.3.2 Impact on air quality

The main raw materials required for the proposed MTP are water and power. PM, SO2 and NOx are

major air pollutant generated from the proposed development of MTP. However PM, SO2 and NOx

emissions are anticipated during the usage of DG sets and boilers.

4.3.2.1 Emission details

Emissions generated during process activities will be properly managed by the member industries.

However, the PM, SO2 and NOx emissions are generated from proposed industrial park are from



diesel generator sets and boilers are properly dispersed into the atmosphere by providing the stack

at sufficient height.

4.3.2.2 Simulation model for prediction

AERMOD version 7.0.3 Gaussian plume dispersion models for prediction of ground level

concentrations (GLC’s) of Sulphur dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from point source

emissions of proposed MTP.

Where C = Plume contaminant concentration (µg/m3)

Q = Pollutant emission rate (g/s)

u = Average wind speed (m/s)

y = y direction plume standard deviation (m)

z = z direction plume standard deviation (m)

y = y position (m)

z = z position (m)

H = Effective stack height (m)

It should be noted that the vertical term includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation,

plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of

particulates (with diameters greater than about 0.1 microns).

AERMOD is used extensively to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of

sources. It is a regulatory steady-state plume modeling system with three separate components:

AERMOD View (AERMOD dispersion model), AERMAP (AERMOD terrain preprocessor), and AERMET

(AERMOD meteorological pre-processor). The AERMOD model includes a wide range of options for

modeling air quality impacts of pollution sources.

Some of the modeling capabilities of AERMOD include the following:

1. The model is used to analyze primary pollutants.

2. Source emission rates can be treated as constant or may be varied by month, season, hour-of-day, or other optional periods of variation. These variable emission rate factors may be specified for a single source or for a group of sources. For this, project all emission rates were treated as constant. The model can account for the effects of aerodynamic downwash due to buildings that are nearby point source emissions.

3. Receptor locations are specified as gridded and/or discrete receptors in a Cartesian or polar coordinate system.

4. Site location involving elevated terrain, the AERMAP terrain pre-processing program is incorporated into the model to generate hill height scales as well as terrain elevations for all receptor locations.



5. The model contains algorithms for modeling the effects of settling and removal (through dry and wet deposition) of large particulates and for modeling the effects of precipitation scavenging for gases or particulates.

AERMOD requires two types of meteorological data files, a file containing surface scalar parameters

and a file containing vertical profiles. These two files are provided by AERMET meteorological pre-

processor program.

4.3.2.3 Model inputs and results

The inputs used to run the model are stack details, emission details, and twenty-four hours mean

meteorological data. The meteorological data is given in Table 4.1; stack emission details and

predictions are given in the Table 4.2, 4.3 and isopleths are shown in Figures 4.1 to 4.3.

The predicted maximum ground level concentration of 24-hour average of PM, SO2 and NOx

concentrations considering 24-hour mean meteorological data of study season are superimposed on

the maximum baseline concentrations obtained during the study period to estimate the post-project

scenario, which would prevail at the post-operational phase.

The major air pollutants generated from the proposed industrial park are given below:

Particulate matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from DG set and boiler

stack emissions. To control PM, SO2 and NOx emissions from DG set and Boiler stacks sufficient

height will be proposed according to MoEF&CC guidelines and proper pollution control equipment’s

such as electrostatic precipitator (ESP), bag filter, wet scrubber and so on will be installed at each

industry level.

The air pollution in the proposed MTP arises mainly from the vehicles used for transportation of men

and materials. The main air pollutants like PM, NOx and CO will be released from the transportation

operations.

4.4 Impact on odour

The different types of industries that are coming in the proposed MTP will have an impact on the

odour either by means of its process or product of manufacturing such as different product mix units

of textile & apparels units like spinning, weaving, Knitting, processing & Apparel etc., are among

contributors to odour pollution. Improper sewage treatment practices will produce unpleasant

odour. Vehicular sector also has its share in odour pollution. Rapidly growing vehicular population as

well as pollutants emitted by them generate harmful and pungent odour that have marked effects

on pedestrians as well as near-by residents.



4.4.1 Sources of odour

Odour-producing compounds are hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, carbon disulfide, mercaptans, phenols

and some petroleum hydrocarbons. Most offensive odour is created by the anaerobic decay of wet

organic matter. Warm temperature enhances anaerobic decay and foul odour production. Odour

sources can be classified as:

• Point sources: Point sources are confined emissions from vents, stacks and exhausts.

• Area sources: Area sources may be unconfined like sewage treatment plant, waste water

treatment plant, solid waste landfill, composting, household manure spreading, settling lagoons,

and so on.

• Fugitive sources: In this source of odour, emissions are of fugitive nature like odour emissions

from soil bed or bio-filter surface.

Though foul odour may not cause direct damage to health, toxic stimulants of odour may cause ill

health or respiratory symptoms. Secondary effects, in some, may be nausea, insomnia and

discomfort. Very strong odour can result in nasal irritation; trigger symptoms in individuals with

breathing problems or asthma.

1. Developing green buffer around source

2. Nozzles and sprayers containing chemicals (eg. chlorine dioxide)

3. Rotary water atomizers

In case of point sources such as that of industries, the odour-causing gas stream can be treated after

collecting through piping and ventilation system. Different treatment technologies are available for

control of odour from gas streams collected through process ventilation systems etc.

These include:

1. Dispersion method—Release odorous gases from tall stack is the simplest of the methods that

can be adopted for odour abatement. It results in normal dispersion in the atmosphere and

consequent decrease in ground-level concentration below the threshold value.

2. Mist filtration—while gases cause most odors, problem may also result from aerosols in the

fumes. Odorous air streams frequently contain high concentration of moisture. If the vapor

discharge can be cooled below 40°C, a substantial quantity of the water vapor will condense

thereby reducing the volume of gases to be incinerated. Mist filters can be used for this purpose.

3. Greenbelt development— Greenbelts are used to form a surface capable of sorbing and forming

sinks for odorous gases. Leaves with their vast area in a tree crown, sorbs pollutants on their

surface, thus effectively reduce their concentrations in the ambient air and source emissions.

4.4.2 Odour mitigation measures

Mitigation measure for odour related impacts depends on type of sources – area source or point

source. Some of the control measures from odour emitting from area source such as holding ponds,

lagoons and effluent treatment plants are:



Weightage is to be given for native species while developing greenbelt. Few plants which

counteract odour are:

Eucalyptus can be used as green belt and also as per odour source

Tulasi, Turmeric can also be used for counteracting odour

4.4.3.1 Wastewater generation

The water demand includes all forms of water use such as water required for production units,

workers, commercial use and landscape irrigation and also firefighting. The details of total water

required and wastewater generated details are given in Table 4.4 and the characteristics of treated

water are given in Table 4.5 and 4.6.

Parameter Units



4.4.3.2 Reuse of water An underground sewerage network has been designed to collect sewage from each building and

convey it to a sewage treatment plant. At the STP, the sewage would be treated to acceptable

standards and the treated sewage could be used for irrigation purpose within the proposed park, for

greenbelt development.

4.4.3.3 Sewage Treatment System

a. A sewage treatment plant of 15 MLD capacity using attached growth activated sludge process has been proposed for the MTP.

b. When the CSTP reached the about 70% of the capacity, the next phase of CETP shall be proposed.

c. The STP shall have a screen and grit removal mechanism followed by an equalization tank, aeration tanks with extended aeration and sludge recycling facility, secondary clarifier with sludge removal mechanism, sand and activated carbon filters and a treated sewage tank.

d. Bleaching powder doses will be used for chlorination before disposal of the treated sewage. It is proposed that treated sewage will be used to the extent possible for landscaping and flushing of toilets.

4.4.3.4 Effluent Collection and Treatment System

The core textile processing facilities and the other textile units in the park are expected to generate

about 20.6. The waste water so generated will be conveyed through pipes and discharged into the

effluent treatment plant. The effluent collection network would be of about 22607m in and would

be separated from the domestic sewage collection system. The proposed CETP shall be phased out

as 5 MLD x 4 units. When the CETP reached the about 70% of the capacity, the next phase of CETP

shall be proposed.

The treatment process proposed is a biological treatment. Effluent shall be processed using

extended aeration technology with aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers with sludge handling and

processing units. The treated effluents shall be used for mass foresting in that area.

4.4.3.5 Design Basis and Treatment Scheme – CETP with Units and Equipment

After studying the topographic survey, collection and conveyance points’ survey, geotechnical

investigation reports and pollution load after sampling and analysis, the subsequent step is to work

out the treatment scheme and the design basis and specification of equipment’s of the proposed 20

MLD CETP. This section would further look into this aspect.

4.4.3.7 Collection & Conveyance System

Collection and conveyance system would comprise DI/HDPE/Cement pipe line to transport the raw

effluent from member units, manholes for cleaning, collection sump to receive effluent and effluent

transfer pumps to pump the untreated effluent to the CETP. The choice of pipeline material depends

on the nature (acidic/alkaline/ corrosive) of the effluent and costs. In some clusters, tankers are used

for transportation of effluents. Transportation with tankers may be viable where it is difficult to lay

pipelines and the volume of effluents to be transported is low, along with close monitoring (with GPS

tracking) & licensing, to avoid illegal discharges. In this Project, no transportation of effluent through

tankers are envisaged. The conveyance system for the Project would be through the following

pipeline networks:

a. Untreated or raw effluent collection and discharge network from the individual units to the CETP b. Recovered water conveyance systems for return of recovered water from CETP to individual units c. Recovered brine solution from CETP to member units

This consists of sewer network with gravity pipeline, Collection wells, intermediate pumping stations

& Online monitoring instruments including Electro Magnetic Flow Metering system (EMFM). DI pipes

with cement mortar coating have been used for Raw Effluent system and recovered water and HDPE

pipes have been used for Brine solution. The raw effluent from ember units is collected and

transferred to the Storage and Homogenization tank followed by Pretreatment, Reverse Osmosis

4.4.3.6 Major components of CETP

The Major components in a ZLD based CETP includes, Collection and conveyance system, Pre-

treatment section, RO section and Evaporator section. The schematic flow chart of CETP is given in

Figure 4.5.

Figure 4.5 Schematic flow diagram of CETP



4.4.3.8 CETP – Treatment system

The pre-treatment system would include all the treatment processes before the Reverse Osmosis

System, and comprises of the following processes and components:

i. Storage & Homogenization Tank

ii. Biological Treatment

iii. Tertiary Filtration system comprises Quartz filter, UF, Colour removal resin filter & Softener

filters.

iv. Side stream Lime-Soda Softening Brine Solution

Pre-treatment system involves screening of the effluent for removal of trash & floating solids

followed by a storage and homogenization tank to reduce the temperature of dye bath effluents to

ambient temperature and is subsequently passed through a neutralization tank for pH adjustment.

The next step is the physio-chemical process involving physical separation of suspended solids from

textile dyeing effluent. This process enhances the reduction of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and

associated Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels and prepares the waste for the next

downstream treatment processes. The prime objective is to remove settleable solids by plain

sedimentation and by addition of coagulants and removal of materials that float (scum) by

skimming. Approximately 25 to 50% of the insoluble BOD, 50 to 70% of the total suspended solids

(TSS), and 65% of the oil and grease are removed during this treatment. In addition to this, organic

nitrogen, phosphorous and heavy metals are also removed and settled as sludge.

Next to physio-chemical process, biological treatment, which involves decomposition of suspended

and dissolved organic matter in waste water using microbes. The mainly used biological treatment

processes are suspended culture type activated sludge process or attached culture methods.

Microbes use the organic compounds as both a source of carbon and as a source of energy.

Biological treatment can be either aerobic where microbes require oxygen to grow or anaerobic

phase where microbes grow in absence of oxygen or facultative where microbes can grow with or

without oxygen. In this case, aerobic biological treatment has been considered and a Biological

Oxidation Tank would be used.

We next have the tertiary filtration system which plays a significant role in the final polishing of the

secondary treated effluent. This comprises of Quartz filter, Ultrafiltration, Colour removal resin filter

and Softener filters.

Ion exchange is a process of exchange of ions between solid and liquid interface. Ion Exchange is

widely used to remove colour and calcium and magnesium ions present in the textile effluent. There

are two types of ion exchange systems, the anion exchange resins and the cation exchange resins.

The primary objective of using these resin is to produce high quality treated water and for

safeguarding the RO membranes.

4.4.3.9 CETP - Reverse Osmosis System

The pre-treatment system is followed by a 4-stage Reverse Osmosis System with a permeate

recovery of 78-80%. There are two streams of water generated out of the RO process, one is low TDS

permeate water which would be reused in the dyeing process and the other is high TDS reject water.

This reject stream contains high concentration of salt, colour and organics. The RO reject further

passes through an Additional Stage RO recovery between 28-35% followed by a High Pressure RO.

Figure 4.7 Colour and hardness removal system



High Pressure RO (HPRO) system is an alternative and sustainable technology option to avoid

thermal based Evaporators such as MVR-E/reducing the dependency on conventional evaporators by

reducing the brine volume.

4.4.3.10 CETP Evaporator

The RO reject after High Pressure RO is concentrated in the MEE type Evaporators for recovering of

sodium Sulphates through adiabatic chiller. Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) with Falling Film

Evaporators (FFE) and Forced Circulation Evaporators (FCE) and crystallizers are applied for brine

concentrations of up to 350 to 400 gpl for crystallization of salt. Adiabatic chiller is used for recovery

of sodium Sulphates salt at low temperature. Push type centrifuge is used for dewatering of salts

and recovery of chloride and Sulphate salts. An Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) is used for dry salt

recovery through evaporation of highly concentrated mother liquor (from chillers & centrifuges).

4.5 Rainwater harvesting and storm water runoff

All along the road network of the proposed site, storm water drains would be provided to collect

water during rains. They will be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site. It is proposed to

have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top rainwater and rainwater of paved

surface at respective buildings. Treatment for silt, oil and grease removal will be provided to

rainwater harvesting recharging pit.

The storm water drains will be acting as recharge trench as the bottom will not be lined and

intermittent check dams will be provided in the storm water drains, so that maximum amount of

rainwater infiltrate into the ground. The excess water will be diverted into the common storm water

drain. The width and depth of the storm water drains will be maintained depending on the slope or

contour of land.

4.6 Solid waste management

The present section presents an assessment of solid waste impacts associated with the operational

phase of the proposed MTP. The sources of solid waste generation at the different phases of the

development are categorized as follows.

Pre-construction/construction phase: Construction and demolition waste is generated during

the constructional activity. Activities such as site clearance, site formation, building works,

infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure. It consists mostly of inert and non-

biodegradable materials such as concrete, plaster, metal, plastics etc.

Occupational phase: The most common solid waste generated in the proposed project is used

batteries, waste oil, and municipal solid waste containing biodegradable and non-

biodegradable waste.

4.6.1 Solid waste generation during operational phase

Solid waste management involves activities associated with generation, storage, collection,

transport, processing and disposal of waste. Information on nature of waste, its composition, and

the quantities generated are essential for effective waste management.

Solid wastes are principally waste clothes, yarn, waste cotton, chemical waste domestic waste,

waste oil, used batteries which originate in the textile units proposed in the Textile Park. No impact

on Land environment is envisaged. The following table gives the anticipated Wastes generated from

the proposed MTP.

The solid waste generated would be from two key sources:

1. Industrial waste, and

2. Municipal solid waste

Industrial waste is classified as hazardous and non-hazardous. The Hazardous wastes will be treated

as per the Hazardous waste (Management, Handling and Tran’s boundary Movement) Rules, 2008

and its subsequent amendments. Electronic waste will be processed as per E-waste (management

and handling) Rules 2016, the batteries (management and handling) Rules 2010, Bio medical waste

will be processed as per the Bio medical Waste (Management & handling) Rules, 2016.

The hazardous wastes will be sent to the nearby approved TSDF facility where the hazardous waste

is treated to the standards and disposed of in landfill facility. The breakup of industrial waste and

solid waste is given in Table 4.7 and the Non-hazardous waste is given in Table 4.8.

Table: 4.7 Solid Waste Generation Details

Table: 4.8 Solid Waste Generation Details

Recyclable wastes like paper, cartons, plastics, scrap materials etc., will be sold for further reuse and

recycle.

4.6.2 Mitigation measures

The domestic waste will be segregated at source, recyclable (metal, paper, glass, plastic, etc.) will be

sold to local vendors, biodegradable will be sent to vermicomposting and inert (non-biodegradable)

will be disposed of to the nearest municipal bin by the selected local contractor.

4.7 Impact on traffic

The impact on traffic during operation phase of the proposed MTP depends upon the type of

activities and industries that are coming up in the park. The proposed MTP is adjacent to the

Warangal-Narsampet road. The impact of the traffic is assessed on the basis of the following:



1. Incremental traffic due to the proposed project

2. Impact on air quality

3. Adequacy of the existing highway road network

4. Adequacy of the existing internal road network

5. Adequacy of parking facilities

The transport demand is a function of land use. The land use will be developed in phases and it has

been taken from the approved plan of the MTP and it will be used for traffic demand projections.

Some broad assumptions have also been made about trip generating potential of the various land

uses in different horizon years. The attraction to the study area from surrounding areas is based on

assumptions.

Negative impacts would be minimized by allocating the funds for environmental

management plan and CSR

Annually, a minimum of 1% profit from the MTP will be used for taking up CSR activities

From the project capital cost, around 1% will be allocated to environmental budget for

environmental management/environmental mitigation measures

The overall impact on the socio-economic environment will be beneficial.

Table 4.11 Proposed level of service

4.7.1 Mitigation measures

There is an addition of 2102 PCUs (Passenger Car Units) (worst case) in a day during general shift to

the existing traffic (348 PCU/hr) on site approach through Vanchanagiri road. The total PCUs in

future will be projected to 2364 PCUs in peak hour of the day and which is above the IRC-106-1990

Standards for 2 way 2 lane (Roads with no frontage access, no standing vehicles very little cross

traffic). The level of service of the proposed MTP as seen in Table 4.10, the level of service of the

existing road is deteriorating from ‘B’ to ‘F’. The access to the proposed MTP is through two roads

i.e. 7 m wide Ookal road and another 7 m wide road from Dharmaram ; both of which are connected

to Warangal- Narsampet road.

Hence, the existing level of service roads are very poor, it is recommended to development of the

road from 2 way/2 lane to 2 way/4 lane road for better movement of vehicles in the future. Then the

level of service will change from ‘F’ (very poor) to ‘C’ (Good).

4.8 Positive and negative socio-economic impacts in study area

The impacts of the proposed MTP, during operation on demography and socio economic conditions

would be both positive and negative some of them are as follows.

4.8.1 Positive impacts

Increase in employment opportunities and reduction in migrants to outside for employment

Growth in industrial sector of local area

Increase in consumer prices of indigenous produce and services, land prices, house rent

4.8.2 Negative impacts



Out of the total project area of 1190.97 Ac. Out of which 33% of the land will be allotted for

greenbelt development all along the boundary, along the roads & block plantations (10% at TSIIC

MTP level & 23% Individual Industry level). All along the roads, on both sides, avenue trees will be

grown at the rate of 400 per every Km of road at a distance of 5 m.

The Industrial plotted area represents 63.63% (757.67 Ac) of the total land. Besides the common

greenbelt, avenue plantations and block plantations, every industry is required to develop industrial

greenbelts of 5 to 15 m width on all sides in an area of at least 33% of the individual site of the

industry. Thus the total area under Green buffer / greenbelt shall reach 33%. But the trees grown

within the premises of the industries have the potential to make the area green. Once the area is

occupied, the Mega Textile Park under consideration will have more than the stipulated green cover

and industrial greenbelts.

Total land for greenbelt

392.9

@400plants/acre will be planted in greenbelt.

Identified local species will be planted in 15 m along

site boundary and 2 m along the road.

Green belt area includes: - Common greenbelt area at park level-10 %( 119 ac.)

- At individual industrial level-23% [(273 acres)i.e:36% of the allotted land)]

In the proposed MTP, the natural vegetation of the construction site is going to be severely

damaged, however, in the present case only small portion of the land will be used for providing civil

infrastructure. None of the plants or animals of the proposed site (core area) belong to rare or

endangered or endemic or threatened (REET) categories or occur in the buffer zone. Hence, there

are no chances of losing any valuable biodiversity. When the project is fully operational, over a

period of time, lots of greenery will come up in the form of avenue trees, ornamentals, fruit trees

and lawns.

The details of the land allotted for greenbelt and landscaping works are given in Table 4.12.

Table 4.12 Greenbelt and landscaping details

4.9 Greenbelt development

Most of the human activities generate pollution of one or other types and of different magnitudes,

to which all the organisms are exposed. More often than not, exposures to some pollution types are

considered unavoidable. Resistance of organisms helps them to overcome the hazards caused by

such exposures. The air pollution emitted by various sources settles on the ground and vegetation of

surrounding area. The plants interact with both gaseous and particulate pollutants and to great

extent absorb them and thus, remove them from the atmosphere. This pollution removal property

of the plants has been known for a long time. For many years tree planting has been promoted by

city planners for the purpose of reducing ground level air pollution.

4.9.1 Mitigation of impacts by greenbelt



As a result, the loss of carbon sequestration capacity due to the loss of few plants could be

compensated. There is no plan to introduce new exotic species except those that have become

naturalized. Preference will be given to native and local trees. A list of trees proposed to be included

for the development of greenbelt and avenue plantation as per CPCB guidelines are given in Table

4.13.

Planting stocks are readily available from the forest department as well as from the local private

nurseries. All plants are locally adapted and the present site can support their growth with suitable

horticultural practices. Sufficient space, resources and manpower for development and maintenance

are provided in the plan.

Analysis of Alternatives – Site & Technology

5.1 Analysis of Alternative site locations

Telangana is one of the largest producers of long staple cotton with production or around 50 lakh

bales per annum. The state stood at third position in the country in cotton production during the

year 2014-15. The state is known for skilled textile workers but due to absence of industries, they

migrated to other states for livelihood. There are few spinning mills in the state which consume

about 20% of the cotton grown rest 80% is going to other states for spinning. Capacity utilization of

weaving industry in the state is negligible and there is not much processing capacity available in the

state. There are no further downstream facilities like processing and garmenting. To overcome all

this issues Telangana state government through TSIIC has proposed to develop a MTP in Warangal

district.

The Warangal district is major cotton producing district and trading center of the state, the region

has strong presence of textile clusters (Warangal Durries) and skilled manpower. The proposed

project envisages ploughing back economic benefits of the park to the local population by catering

to all activities in the textile value chain.

Telangana state government through TSIIC has proposed to develop a MTP in Warangal district and

identified two locations. These two sites were analyzed for setting up of the proposed MTP in

Warangal; they are Mupparam & Devanoor and Shayampet & Chintalapalli.

5.2 Introduction

In order to help the concerned authorities and the entrepreneurs, Ministry of Environment Forests &

Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India (GOI) has framed certain broad guidelines for

siting an industry/proposed projects. The broad environmental guidelines recommended for siting of

industries/proposed project to ensure optimum use of natural and man-made resources in

sustainable manner with minimal depletion, degradation and or destruction of environment are

given in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1 site selection criteria – areas to be avoided

Land Procurement Sufficient land to meet the demand of greenbelt development, reuse

of treated water, storing of solid waste before final disposal

Coastal areas At least 500 m from high tide line

Estuaries At least 200 m away from the estuary boundaries

Flood plains of the Riverine

system

At least 500 m from flood plain or modified flood plain, or by flood

control systems

Transport /

communications system

At least 500 m from highway and railway line

Major settlements At least 25 km from the project growth boundary of the settlement (3

lakh Population)



Ecologically and or

otherwise sensitive area

At least 25 km (Archaeological monuments, National parks &

Sanctuaries, Biosphere reserves, Hill resorts, Scenic areas, etc

Ecologically and / or otherwise sensitive areas include: 1) Religious & historic places, 2)

Archaeological monuments, 3) scenic areas, 4) Hills resorts, 5) Beach resorts 6) Health resorts 7)

Coastal areas rich in coral, mangroves, breeding grounds of specific species, 8) Estuaries rich in

mangroves, breeding ground of specific species, 9) Gulf areas, 10) Biosphere reserves, 11) National

parks and sanctuaries, 12) Natural lakes, swamps, 13) seismic zones, 14) Tribal settlements, 15)

Areas of scientific and geological interest, 16) Defence installations, specifically those of security

importance and sensitive to pollution 17) Border areas (International), 18) Airports, 19) Tiger

reserves / elephant reserves / turtle nestling grounds 20) Habitat for migratory birds 21) Lakes

/reservoirs / dams

In siting of the proposed MTP, care would be taken to minimise the adverse impact of the proposed

project on the immediate neighbourhood as well as distant places. Some of the natural life

sustaining systems and some specific land uses are sensitive and vulnerable to the outputs. With a

view to protect such sensitive systems, shall maintain the above mentioned guidelines.

5.3 Siting criteria

The Site suitability based on the industrial siting guidelines/criteria of the two locations are given in

Table 5.2.

Though both the sites are meeting the major requirements of the guidelines suggested by MoEF&CC,

the first site is very near to Dharmasagar water reservoir, which is the main portable water source

for Warangal City, as the project site is in higher elevation compared to the reservoir, so during rainy

seasons there are chances of rain water from the project sites entering the reservoir, hence this site

was not considered.

The second site of Shayampet and Chintalapalli was considered and most of the land in the area has

been acquired by the TSIIC following the existing norms of state and central government.

5.4 Site Selection

Overlooking the Environmental Factors during site selection at the project initiation stage will

generally increase the project costs due to the increase in the compliance to environmental

regulations and also will make the project vulnerable to opposition from the public. The selected site

is best suited for the proposed project.



Figure 5.2 Location Map of the Selected Site (Proposed Site)

5.5 Mitigation Measures

Appropriate mitigation measures adopted such as CETP/CSTP, Municipal and Hazardous Waste

management, Storm water management and rainwater water harvesting system, green belt

development etc. will mitigate the impacts on air, water and land environment.

5.5.1 Analysis of Alternatives of Access to the Project Site (Connectivity)

Existing access to the Project site from the Warangal Road - Narsampet Road is through

Mariyapuram and Ookal villages. There is also another alternate road that passes through

Shayampet and Vanchanagiri Villages. These existing road network and connectivity to the project

site can be utilised during construction stage for movement of vehicles. However, on inception of

the Project for transportation of goods, materials, man-power and for movement of vehicles during

operations phase this existing road network will be inadequate not insufficient. The existing road

network will need to be widened and strengthened at several places. This entails land acquisition

through the villages of Parvathagiri, Mariyapuram and Ookal and/or Shayampet and Vanchanagiri

which may cause social related issues and acquisition of property within built-up areas.

Further, there will need to be a separate RoB for access into the project site to cross the railway line.

Therefore, three options were studied for a dedicated connectivity (expressway ~ 150 ft wide

corridors) to the project site. These are detailed here



Option 1: Access from Gangadevipally and Dedicated RoB for the Project Site

In this option, a dedicated corridor will be developed for the project originating at Gangadevipally; a

village on the Warangal Narsampet Road. This option requires a new alignment to be developed

from the main road up till reaching the existing road after passing Ookal. In this case, the access

bypasses the Parvathagiri, Mariyapuram and Ookal Villages which is beneficial as social issues will be

minimised and also the corridor will be more or less straight in alignment without many kink/bends.

Approximately 2.4 km length of land will need to be acquired for the access road from

Gangadevipally till the existing road. The alignment mostly traverses through fields; there is a high

tension power line that goes overhead and a poultry farm nearby, however, the alignment will not

be affected by either of these. Land acquisition will be taken up for the new alignment of road which

will have a width of about 150 ft wide. The total area of land required to be acquired will be around

27.25 acres which considering Rs. 12 Lakhs per acres will cost around Rupees 3.27 Crores.

Once the new proposed alignment meets the existing road (which is already a 7 m wide road), it will

need to be strengthened and widened (to a 45 m wide road) up till the point where the project lands

start (approximately 850 m) and from there on the road will traverse within the project site.

The option also envisages a RoB over the railway line through the project site and onto the other

side into existing project lands. This will be very valuable and advantageous for the project as there

will be direct access and connectivity into the project site. This is the preferred option.

Figure 5.3: Option 1: Access from Gangadevipally and Dedicated RoB for the Project Site

Option 2: Access from Gangadevipally and RoB over LC 67

In this option, the possibility of an RoB within the project site is negated and the entry into the

project site on the other side of railway tracks will be through the RoB already proposed by the

railways at LC 67. In this case, also, the alignment from the main road remains the same and will

originate at Gangadevipally and traverse through the existing road as in Option 1, but the alignment



within the project site will have two alternatives before exiting the and once again traversing

through existing roads to cross over the proposed RoB at LC 67 where there will be a request for the

RoB to turn into the project site.

Figure 5.4: Option 2: Access from Gangadevipally and Proposed RoB over LC 67 (Including two

Alternatives within Project Site)

Option 3: Access from Machapur, bypassing Chintalapalli and RoB over LC 67

In this option, the access to the project site will originate at a village called Machapur on the

Warangal – Narsampet Road. There is an existing 3.6 m road from Machapur to Chintalapalli which

will need to be strengthened and widened. The road connectivity will need to bypass Chintalapalli

town in order to reach the proposed RoB over LC 67 before turning into the project site. For this

bypass of approximately 1.7 km land acquisition will need to be carried out. The total area of land

required to be acquired will be around 19.30 acres which considering Rs. 12 Lakhs per acres will cost

around Rupees 2.32 Crores. This will be in addition to the strengthening and widening of

approximately 5.2 km of existing road from Machapur till the proposed new alignment.

This is not the preferred option as there are a few settlements on the road from Machapur till the

proposed new alignment which might entail acquiring of property. Also Machapur is an additional

distance of 1.7 km from Gangadevipally and 3.0 km from Ookal bus stop on the Warangal –

Narsampet Road. The entire length of connectivity from Machapur is also a whole additional km as

compared to the preferred option 1.



Figure 5.5: Option 3: Access from Machapur, Bypassing Chintalapalli and RoB over LC 67

5.6 Alternative Energy

Solar energy is proposed as an alternative energy. Solar street lights are proposed to be used and the

member industries would be asked to install solar water heaters to feed pre heat water to process.

Street lights (7m high) with a set of solar panels, battery backup (2 days) and 2x20 W bulbs will be

installed every 20m distance on both sides of 45m, 30m and 18m wide roads in the industrial area.

This will help in saving the electric energy. However, solar energy can be utilized only during sunny

days.

5.7 Assessment of Various Treatment Technologies for Textile Dyeing Effluent

An assessment and comparison of the types of treatment technologies for CETP – ZLD has been done

in terms of their capital and operating cost, energy efficiency, solid waste generation & management

and resource recovery and the same has been elaborated in Table 5.3 below.

From the assessment of the above technologies, “Treated Brine reuse based ZLD” stands out above

all due to its lower Capex and opex, specific energy consumption, sludge and waste salt generation.

In addition, the technology enables higher recovery of water and salt.

The basis of shortlisting the appropriate technology is given below:

Basis of selection and recommendation of technology (Brine Reuse Technology), based on the

detailed comparison made on various technology configuration which are being currently employed

in the CETPs for treatment of textile effluent to achieve the ZLD, Brine reuse technology has been

selected and recommended to implement in the 20.6 MLD CETP. The following are the reasons for

selection of this technology:



i. Brine reuse technology is successfully operational in TWIC developed CETPs in Tirupur.

ii. Less dependency on thermal evaporation, resulting in significant reduction in the overall O&M cost of the CETP.

iii. Maximum recovery of water (96-97%) and salt (70%-80%).

iv. Low waste salt generation. Further research is on further salt recovery from the waste salt.

v. Purity of salt in the treated brine is far better that Nano Filtration (NF) based brine, where additional salt must be added for reuse in the dyeing process. Also, unlike NF, frequent replacement membranes are not required.

vi. Lower bio sludge generation (due to usage of low loaded extended aeration type reactor with low F/M ratio of 0.06) when compared to conventional biological treatment (Low HRT and F/M 0.15). Moreover, this bio sludge can be used as fuel in the boiler. Recently, field studies have been completed in the presence of IIT, Madras, who has also recommended this option in their report.

vii. Due to implementation of UF, Ion Exchange (IX) resins for colour and hardness removal, there has been a significant improvement in the quality of the liquid brine and this increases the life of RO membranes as well. These unit processes (UF, IX resins) are already in successful operation in the TWIC CETPs.

viii. Lime-Soda softening (LSS) will be used as a side stream treatment for removal of hardness from the regenerated waste, thereby resulting in lower sludge generation. This chemical /lime sludge will have significant concentration of lime and hence shall be utilized in the cement industries for co-processing. Most of the CETPs had implemented this LSS treatment as a main stream treatment. Due to this, enormous quantity of sludge is being generated, which requires sizable investment for disposal. Presently, most of the CETPs have entered into an agreement with local cement industries for co-processing of this sludge.

ix. High Pressure Plate & Tube RO (HPPTRO) has been considered in the proposed treatment scheme for concentrating the RO reject and reducing the volume of brine going to the downstream MEE section, thereby resulting in low Capex & Opex. Also, with this, dependency on thermal energy will be avoided considerably.

x. Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) has also been considered in the proposed scheme to evaporate the mother liquor instead of discharge the same in to the solar pans. Due to installation of ATFD, the dyeing units can continue operation during the rainy season as well or otherwise the overflowing solar pans would contaminate the surface / ground water. Hence solar pans are not considered in the proposed scheme.

xi. After considering the recovery cost of water & salt from the ZLD and savings from the CPP in terms of power and steam, 90% of O&M cost are recoverable.

xii. Fly ash and bottom ash generated from the CPP can be used for fly ash based brick manufacturing.

5.8 Advanced Treatment Technology options for ZLD

In the already implemented ZLD CETPs although it has state-of-art technologies to treat the effluent

and recovery of water & salt, there was some critical issues such as reduction of colour and COD,

High O & M Cost and waste salt & sludge generation. To overcome these issues, TWIC had been

conducting some pilots for advanced technologies such as Electro Oxidation for colour removal (EO),

High Pressure Plate and Tube RO (HPTTR) and Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD). In the proposed

treatment scheme, in addition to the existing successfully operating technologies, the following

three advanced treatment technology options are proposed).

In the proposed treatment scheme, in addition to the existing successfully operating technologies,

the following three advanced treatment technology options are proposed.

5.8.1 Electro oxidation system for color removal

i. Gas chlorination system and colour removal resin are playing significant role in the removal

of colour and COD respectively. However handling of gas chlorination system is a tough task

to the operators, because of some safety issues. Similarly operation of colour removal resin

is expensive. To replace these technologies, An Electro oxidation system has been included

in the treatment scheme. COD and colour reduction shall be reduced up to 51% and 90%

respectively. Apart from this, there is side stream waste generation as in colour removal

resins.

ii. Key benefits of using this technology include:

- Reduction in recalcitrant COD

- No sludge generation

- No waste liquid generation as in colour removal resin

- No waste salt generation as in colour removal resin

- It can be easily operated & there is no safety issues as exist in operation gas chlorine

system.

- Due to reduction in COD, UF and RO feed quality will be increased and which resulting

increased membranes life by eliminating the frequent cleaning.

5.8.2 High Pressure Plate & Tube RO (HPPTRO) Due to several mechanical issues in the MVR system which is currently used in most of the CETPs, a

High Pressure RO system has been incorporated in the proposed scheme to reduce the brine volume

to MEE. In both the system, final reject TDS would be 100 - 110 gpl and feed TDS in range of 55 - 60

gpl. Proposed High Pressure System would comprises cartridge filter, Forwarding pump, 90 bar high

bride RO system and 120 bar Bolt on RO system. HPRO system will be installed as two modules.

HPPTRO system is designed to handle both RO reject stream. These two streams will be operated as

a batch mode to avoid mixing of Sulphate and chloride stream, because of chloride to Sulphate ratio

will be changed and it would affect the sodium Sulphate recovery and yield in the adiabatic chiller. A

field scale pilot trials had been carried to assess the performance and viability of the system and

found that pilot result was good in terms of performance and Capex & Opex.



5.8.3 Replacement of Solar pans with ATFD to avoid overflow of pans

i. ATFD system plays a significant role in the concentration and recovery of mixed waste salt.

Most of the CETP had constructed solar pans as per TNCPB norms, but during rainy season

these solar pans are getting overflowing. To avoid this situation, a detailed pilot study had

been conducted in few CETPs and found that pilot results were good. Based on this ATFD

system has been considered in the proposed treatment scheme.

ii. Key benefits/advantages of Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD)

- Reduced time for Evaporation when compared to solar evaporation pans

- Solar pans can be gradually eliminated after installation of ATFD.

- Condensate with reusable quality can be recovered from the ATFD system and the same can be reused in the dyeing process.

- Manual handling of waste salt can be totally eliminated and minimum manpower is sufficient to bag the salt, instead of engaging huge manpower for cleaning of waste salt from the solar pans.

- During rainy seasons overflowing of solar pans can be avoided by operating ATFD system and waste salt can be recovered as dry salt and shall be bagged & stored in yard. Hence, Dyeing units and CETPs shall be operated continuously without any stoppage during rainy seasons.

- Lower foot print area for installation as compared with solar pans.

- Ground water contamination by seepage/leakages from the solar can be avoided by elimination the solar pans.

5.8.4 Advanced technologies for textile effluent treatment

Conventional Multiple Effect Evaporator system is consuming high amount of thermal and electrical

energy to evaporate the RO brine. To reduce the operating cost, incurred in the reject management

system, some of advanced technologies such as Forward Osmosis (FO), Waste heat Evaporator

(WHE), VSEP shall be used. Detailed pilot studies needs to be done for the technologies such as FO &

VSEP to assess the process economics and suitability for textile effluent management. Waste Heat

Evaporator (WHE), pilot trials had been conducted with various feed streams and TDS and found that

the performance of WHE was good in terms of O&M cost and reduced dependency on thermal

energy.

5.9 Resources recovery from the ZLD CETP

RO system and MEE with salt recovery plays a significant role in recovering of low TDS water and

highly pure sodium Sulphate salt (98 - 99%) respectively from the dyeing effluent. Even though ZLD

operating cost is much higher than the conventional treatment (for discharge of treated effluents), it

is justified through efficient water & salt recovery & therefore 60-80% of the O&M cost is recovered.

The products recovered and their quality and quantity are provided in the below table.

Environmental Monitoring Programme

6.1 Introduction

Environmental Monitoring Programme is an important component during construction and

operational stages of the project. The main objective of environmental monitoring program is to

check the efficacy of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and implementation and take

corrective actions. A well-defined environmental monitoring program would be followed for the

proposed development of MTP. It would be ensured that trained and qualified staff supervises the

monitoring and sampling of ambient air, DG set & Boiler stack gases, common sewage and

trade/Industrial effluents, noise, etc. to see that prescribed standards lay down are obtained.

The monitoring program will be done in two phases

Constructional phase

Operational phase

The project management should always go for a rational approach with regards to environmental

monitoring. This includes judicious decision making in consultation with institutional stakeholders

viz, state pollution control board, industrial units, public, etc.

The following are the main objectives of the environmental monitoring program

Provides information for documentation of monitoring of mitigation measures and impacts.

Tool for the statutory authority of unanticipated adverse impacts or sudden changes in the environmental condition due to the proposed project.

Provides information that could be used for evaluating the effectiveness of implemented

mitigation measures.

Provides information that could be used to verify predicted impacts and thus validate impact prediction techniques.

The efficacy of the mitigation measures being followed during construction and operational phases can be assessed and the measures can be revised, made more stringent and reinforced based on the monitoring results.

Environmental Monitoring can also serve a basic component of a periodic environmental regulatory auditing program for the proposed project.

The programme as detailed in the environmental monitoring programme for construction as well as

operation phases shall be implemented by the MTP officials / individual units. Besides the

monitoring, the compliances to all EC, CFE / CFO conditions shall be monitored and reported

periodically. The likely significant impacts and mitigation measures will be also be monitored.

development:

Development of nursery

Treatment and sowing of seeds

Watering

Transport of seedlings

Planting of seedlings

Fencing of plantation area

Weeding and soil working

Pruning (trimming of plant)

Replacement/ Inter planting

Watch and ward of plantation

During operation phase periodic monitoring of plantation growth, manuring, watering, pruning, and

replacement will be performed in order to properly maintain vegetation, greenbelt, landscape and

green cover. It is suggested to plant shrubs or plants with 1 or 2 m height in utility corridor to avoid

bird nesting/resting on the plants.

6.8 On-site mock drills requirements On-site mock drills are very important as it helps employees to be aware of the safety procedures

and how to react during the time of crisis. Conducting mock drills at regular intervals enhances

preparedness and checks the viability of environmental/ disaster management plan. Mock drills are

essential for the following reasons:



Helps in revising/improving the environmental/disaster management plan

Helps to evaluate whether the responsible officials are trained efficiently for the unforeseen

event.

Helps in evaluating whether the emergency equipment are being maintained at project

premises.

To ensure efficient environmental / disaster management, EHS department/ EMP cell shall conduct

periodic on-site mock drills in case of occurrence of the following activities:

Fire; Natural calamities (cyclones, floods, earthquakes)

Power break down

Oil spill

Bomb threats; War alerts/terrorist attacks

Mock drills should also involve fire department, police, municipal authorities, hospitals and other

department/ agencies that are mandated to provide emergency support. Documenting the outcome

of mock drills is an important aspect as this helps in revising the existing plan more efficiently.

6.9 Budget estimates

In order to comply with the environmental protection measures as suggested in the above sections,

the management has made a budgetary provision for Environmental Protection and Safety measures

in capital cost of the proposed MTP.


1 Roads 91.68





6 Landscaping 8.00



EMP budget: The cost for EMP budget would be 5% of the Total Project Cost.



Chapter 7 Additional Studies

7.1 Safety Management Plan

During construction, erection, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of Mega Textile Park

the important basic requirement are the manpower, materials and machines. The textiles sector

generally has issues related to occupational health and safety. Hence management proposes to take

steps to minimize the impacts from the proposed development of MTP to ensure appropriate

occupational health and safety including fire plans by adapting occupational health & safety measures

as per standard procedures & local guidelines.

Over-exertion, ergonomic injuries and illnesses caused due to repetitive motion and manual

handling are among the most common during construction. The proper steps for their prevention

and control include:

Training workers regarding the lifting of materials & handling, placement of weight limits, planning of work, selection of tools and implementation of administrative controls in the site for the development.

Implementation of good house-keeping practices, such placing loose construction materials or demolition debris in identified areas away from foot paths.

A fall protection plan will be implemented for the persons who will work in heights and also depending on the nature and aspects of the fall hazard.

Appropriate techniques and measures will be taken for the prevention and control of hazards caused by the objects and moving machinery.

Suitable dust suppression techniques will be implemented like water spraying to minimize dust from vehicle movements and also proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used at excessive levels.

7.1.1 Safety Policy

The employee’s safety policy includes the following:

Contact their immediate supervisors according to individual department policies. What happened will be sorted out through the accident reporting and investigation process.

The supervisor or employee should be responsible for the following to be completed:

Obtain names, addresses and phone numbers (work and home) of any witnesses. Interview the witnesses and prepare a report; including statements from the witnesses. The report should include any suggestions to prevent a similar accident or incident from occurring in the future.



Take photographs of the property damage or defect. A sufficient number of photos should be taken to fully describe the damage to a person who has not been at the scene.

Prepare a report of the incident with all necessary information. The reports should be prepared to reflect the seriousness of the incident.

Fill appropriate forms for future use.

If individual department procedures include all of the information required by this policy, that document can be utilized to fulfill these requirements.

This policy is in addition to a workers compensation reporting requirements.

Appropriate risk management strategies will be implemented to protect the community from

physical, chemical or other hazards associated with the site through a combination of Institutional

and administrative controls by adopting the community health and safety measures as per Standard

procedures & local guidelines provided for community health and safety.

To control communicable and vector-borne diseases attributable to the proposed site; which are not

a potentially serious health threat to project personnel and residents of local communities. The

investigation facilities are available to monitor all the employees for the occupational health

diseases expected in the MTP premises and also maintaining periodical check-up of all workers from

a certified industrial & occupational health physician. The MTP will maintain the first aid box with

sufficient medicines to face any emergency in the industrial premises.

The problem of occupational health in the operation and maintenance phase of member industries is

due to noise hearing losses. The personal protective equipment’s will be provided for workers which are

appropriate to their working environment given below:

Safety Helmet

Face shield with replacement acrylic vision

Zero power plain goggles with cut type filters on both ends

Welders equipment for eye and face protection

Ear muffs

Canister gas mask

Self-contained breathing apparatus

of accidents by respective industries, if any. All working personnel are medically examined at least once

in every year and at the end of his term of employment.



7.1.2 Safety plan

Safety of both humans and materials during construction and operational phases is of concern. The

preparedness in the proposed site for the occurrence of possible disasters is known as emergency plan.

A disaster in the proposed site may be possible due to leakage of hazardous fuels like HSD, collapse of

structures and fire/explosion etc.

Keeping in view the safety requirement during construction, operation and maintenance phases,

developer/common facilitator propose to formulate the safety policy and the same will be further

strengthening after establishment of the proposed MTP.

The safety policy is based on the following regulations:

To allocate sufficient resources to maintain safe and healthy conditions of work

To take steps to ensure that all known safety factors are taken into account in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of member industries, machinery and equipment.

To ensure that adequate safety instructions are given to all employees

To provide wherever necessary protective equipment, safety appliances and clothing and to ensure their proper use

To inform employees about materials, equipment or processes used in their work which are known to be potentially hazardous to health or safety

To keep all operations and methods of work under regular review for making necessary changes from the point of view of safety in the light of experience and up to date knowledge

To provide appropriate facilities for first aid and prompt treatment of injuries and illness at work

To provide appropriate instruction, training, retraining & supervision to employees in health & safety, first aid and to ensure that adequate publicity is given to these matters

To ensure proper implementation of fire prevention methods and an appropriate firefighting service together with training facilities for personnel involved in this service

To organize collection, analysis and presentation of data on accidents, sickness and incidents involving people with a view to taking corrective, remedial and preventive action

To promote through the established machinery, joint consultation in health and safety matters to ensure effective participation by all employees

Publish/notify regulations, instructions & notices in common language of employees

To prepare separate safety rules for each type of occupation/processes involved in a proposed activity and to ensure regular safety inspection by a competent person at suitable intervals of all buildings, equipment’s, work places and operations in all member industries.



7.2 Safety in organization

7.2.1 Construction and erection phase

A qualified and experienced safety officer shall be appointed by the member industries and/or for the

entire MTP. The responsibilities of the safety officers include identification of the hazardous conditions

and unsafe acts of workers and advice on corrective actions, conduct safety audit, organize training

programs and provide professional expert advice on various issues related to occupational safety and

health. He is also responsible to ensure compliance of safety rules/ statutory provisions. In addition to

employment of safety officer by industry, every contractor who employs more than 250 workers in the

proposed site for the MTP/member industry shall also employ one safety officer to ensure safety of the

workers, in accordance with the conditions of contract.

7.2.2. Operation and maintenance phase

When the construction is completed the posting of safety officers shall be in accordance with the

requirement of Factories Act and their duties and responsibilities shall be as defined thereof.

A training center shall be set up at the proposed MTP or will utilize the services of external training

center of nearby area. Safety training shall be provided by the safety officer with the assistance of

external faculty members called from professional safety institutions and universities. In addition to

regular employees, contract labors shall also be provided safety training. To create safety awareness,

safety films shall be shown and leaflets containing safety information shall be distributed to workers.

7.3 Risk assessment plan

Risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an event or

sequence of events. Risk (R) can be mathematically expressed as R = fD where R is the risk (individual

or societal), f is the frequency of occurrence of an undesired event and D is the expected damage

distance due to likely occurrence of that unfortunate event. The main objectives of the study are as

follows:

i. Identification of hazard prone area and estimation of damage distance for the Maximum

Credible Accident (MCA) scenarios visualized for storages. ii. Computation of frequency of occurrence of hazards and evaluation of risk. iii. Based on the studies, suggest risk mitigation measures and arrive at guidelines for Disaster

Management and Emergency Preparedness Plan (DMP and EPP).

7.4 Inventory at site

The proposed project being a textile park, there are no major storage of solvents or hazardous

chemicals at site. In case if any individual unit uses any hazardous chemicals, solvents, etc., they will

be required to follow the guidelines of MSIHC Rules 1989 and amended 2000. The inventory at the

project site is given in the Table 7.1

7.5 Hazard identification and preliminary hazard analysis

7.5.1 Introduction to hazard identification

Identification of hazards in the MTP is of primary significance in the analysis, quantification and cost

effective control of accidents involving chemicals and process. A classical definition of hazard states

that hazard is in fact the characteristic of system/ plant/ process that presents potential for an

accident. Hence, all the components of a system/ plant/ process need to be thoroughly examined to

assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which

can be termed as an accident.

7.5.2 Identification of major hazardous units

Hazardous substances may be combustible/ flammable in nature. The HSD characteristics proposed

to be stored at the project site are given in Table 7.2

Table 7.2 Summary table on the Inventories

7.5.3 Classification based on inventory rating

In order to ensure a steady supply of raw materials, process chemicals and fuels, adequate inventory

of all these materials is to be maintained at the project site (details will be provided by individual

units at the time of obtaining CFE from State PCB). The quantities of fuel required for running DG set

used for common facilities of MTP (CETP, CSTP, etc) stored and the degrees of hazard in terms of

National Fire Protection Agency, USA (NFPA) ratings are given below. The NFPA ratings, on scale 0 to

4 (least to worst), hazard rating is used as a tool to assess the preliminary hazard potential of a

material shown in the Table 7.3

7.5.4 Identification of major hazard installations based on Manufacture, Storage and Import of

Hazardous Chemical (MSIHC) Rules 1989 and amended in 2000

Following accidents in the industry in India over the past few decades, a specific legislation covering

a major hazard activity has been enforced by Govt. of India in 1989 in conjunction with Environment

Protection Act, 1986. This is referred here as MSIHC Rules 1989. For the purpose of identifying major

hazard installations the rules employ certain criteria based on toxic, flammable and explosive

properties of chemicals.



A list of hazardous substances with their threshold quantities are provided in Part II of Schedule I of the rules

Schedule II of the rules sets out the threshold quantities for isolated storage units

Schedule III gives a list of hazardous chemicals with their threshold quantities. In this schedule different chemicals are classified into distinct groups viz. Group 1 - Toxic substances, Group 2 -Toxic substances, Group 3 -Highly reactive substances, Group 4 -Explosive substances and Group 5-Flammable substances.

Schedule IV of the rules indicate various operations which are hazardous during production, processing or treatment of organic and inorganic chemicals.

Indicative criteria for identification of toxic, flammable and explosive chemicals (MSIHC Rules 1989,

Amended in 2000) is given in Table 7.4

Table 7.4 Indicative Criteria for Identification of Toxic, Flammable and

Explosive Chemicals (MSIHC Rules 1989, amended 2000)

2. Highly toxic 51-500 201-2000 0.5-2.0

b. Flammable Chemicals

i. Flammable gases: Chemicals which in the gaseous state at normal pressure and when mixed

with air become flammable and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is 20oC or

below;

ii. Highly flammable liquids: Chemicals, which have a flash point, lower than 23oC and the

boiling point of which at normal pressure is above 20oC.

iii. Flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point lower than 650C and which remain

liquids under pressure, where particular processing conditions, such as high pressure and

high temperature, may create major accident hazards

c. Explosives

Chemicals which may explode under the effect of flame, heat or photo-chemical conditions or which

are more sensitive to shocks or friction than dinitrobenzene.

Based on the indicative criteria inventory (liquids/fuels) stored in proposed site has been analyzed

for applicability of MSIHC Rules 1989, amended 2000 and the results are summarized in Table 7.5

quantities

7.6 Short listed hazards

Based on the preliminary hazard analysis, the following scenarios are short-listed for consequence

analysis to quantify the risks involved. The nature of hazards that could occur in proposed site is

presented in the Table 7.6 along with the sources.

7.7 Maximum credible accident analysis

Hazardous substances may be released as a result of failures or catastrophes, causing possible

damage to the surrounding area. This section deals with the question of how the consequences of

the release of such substances and the damage to the surrounding area can be determined by

means of models. A disastrous situation is generally due to outcome of fire, explosion or toxic

hazards in addition to other natural causes, which eventually lead to loss of life, property and

ecological imbalance.

Major hazards posed by hazardous chemical storages can be identified taking recourse to MCA

Analysis. MCA analysis encompasses certain techniques to identify the hazards and calculate the

consequent effects in terms of damage distances of heat radiation, toxic releases, vapor cloud

explosion, etc. A host of probable or potential accidents of the major units in the complex arising

due to use, storage and handling of the hazardous materials are examined to establish their

credibility. Depending upon the effective hazardous attributes and their impact on the event, the

maximum effect on the surrounding environment and the respective damage caused can be

assessed.



Various models for calculating the physical effects of the incidental release of hazardous substances

are detailed subsequently. First, attention is paid to the factors, which are decisive for the selection

of the models to be used in a particular situation, after which the various effect models are

discussed.

7.8 Injuries resulting from flammable liquids

In the case of flammable liquids such as HSD for immediate ignition of a pool fire will occur. The

injuries in this case are mainly caused by heat radiation. Serious injuries as the result of the shock

wave generally do not occur outside the fire ball zone. Fragmentation of the storage system can

cause damage up to distance of over 50m depending on the capacity of the affected storage tank. If

the gas is not ignited immediately, it will disperse into the atmosphere. If the gas cloud ignites it is

assumed that everyone present within the gas cloud will die as a result of burns or asphyxiation.

Outside the gas cloud the duration of the thermal load will be too brief to cause any injuries. In the

event of very rapid combustion of the gas cloud, the shock wave may cause damage outside the

limits of the cloud. Explosive combustion will only occur if the cloud is enclosed to some extent

between buildings and obstacles. The mathematical models and analytical models for hazard analysis

of the flammable liquids in the proposed site are as given in Table 7.7, damage criteria in Table 7.8,

radiation exposure and lethality in Table 7.9

7.9 Pool fire analysis of HSD tanks

The detailed computations of F&EI (Fire and Explosion Index) for HSD (High Speed Diesel) at

proposed site are given in Table 7.10.

The Health (Nh), Flammability (Nf), Reactivity (Nr), and MF (Material Factor) for HSD fuel under

consideration was derived from NFPA codes. The GPH (General Process Hazard Factor) and SPH

(Specific Process Hazard Factor) was calculated accordingly. Based on F & EI (Fire and Explosion

Index), the HSD fall under light degree of hazard category and nil toxicity. Thus, risk assessment and

hazard analysis has been carried out due to fire hazard for HSD storage tanks by carrying out MCA

(Maximum Credible Accident) analysis.

Table 7.10 F&EI of fuels used for the proposed MTP

Chemical/Fuel NFPA Classification

GPH SPH F&EI F&E Category Nh Nf Nr MF

F&EI 1 to 60 F&E Category Low;

F&EI 60 to 90 F&E Category Medium:

F&EI 60 and above F&E Category Severe

Two storage tanks of HSD with a capacity of 2500 liters are considered for the proposed MTP. Tank

fire would occur if the radiation intensity is high on the peripheral surface of tanks leading to

increase in internal tank pressure. Pool fire would occur when fuel oil collected in the dyke due to

leakage gets ignited. As the tanks are provided within the dyke the fire will be confined within the

dyke wall.

A perusal of the above table clearly indicates that 37.5 KW/m2 (100%) lethality occurs within the

radius of the pool which is computed at less than 10 m tank on pool fire. This vulnerable zone will

damage all fuel storage equipment falling within the pool radius.

Similarly the threshold limit for first degree burns is 1.6 KW/m2; this vulnerable zone in which the

thermal fluxes above the threshold limit for first degree is restricted to 88m in case fuel storage area

catches pool fire.

Disaster Management Plan (DMP)

A Disaster is called when following one or the other or more incidents occur:

Risk of loss of human lives-ten or more in one single situation

A situation which goes beyond the control of available resources

Loss of property as a consequence of the incident is over Rs. 1 Crore and/or bears a potential

to the above

A situation which may not have much loss but its long-term severity can affect loss of life,

production and property.

Disasters occur due to:

Emergencies on account of Fire, Explosion, Spillage of toxic chemicals, Electrocution

Natural calamity on account of Flood, Earthquake/Cyclone/Storm/Cloud burst/ Lightning

External factor on account of Food poisoning, Sabotage

The objective of the study is to assess the likely hazards and risk associated with process and

preparation of preliminary Disaster Management Plan (DMP).

These guidelines would be in addition to the guidelines issued by the NDMA which are available at

http://ndma.gov.in/ndma/guidelines.html. The main objectives of DMP are:-

To control and contain the incident/accident and if possible, eliminate it

To minimize the effects of the incident on persons, property and environment

If an accident/incident takes place within the MTP and its effects are confined to the premises,

involving only the persons working in the MTP and the property inside the MTP, it is called as on-site

disaster.

7.9.2 Damage distance computations for MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) analysis

The major hazard scenarios identified for the possibility of occurrence are mainly concerned with

HSD Storage tanks.

The most credible failure is the rupture of the largest pipe connecting to the storage tank. As worst

case, it is assumed that total quantity of HSD is leaked and the entire contents leak out into the dyke

forming a pool, which may catch fire on finding a source of ignition.

7.12 Geological and hydrogeology

7.12.1 Introduction

Geological and hydro-geological studies were conducted within the proposed project site of the MTP

to evaluate the hydro-geological setting of the study area. The study is mainly oriented towards the

topographical conditions, existing natural drainage, planning of storm water drains, geological and

hydrogeological setting along with proposal of suitable artificial recharge structures for

improvement of groundwater in and around the proposed project area.



7.12.2 Topography

Geographically, site is located in eastern part of Warangal district near Chintalapalli village, and from

Warangal city it is 20 km towards southeastern direction.

Topographically, the area consists of isolated rocky hills, plain lands, seasonal ponds and shrub

forests. The major portion is occupied plains with a moderate slope of 5-10 degrees. The maximum

elevation is 270 m and the minimum elevation contour values 250 m in 3 km radius area. The

contour map of study area for 3 km radius from site is shown in Figure 7.3. In this area, the land is

mostly agricultural land, scrub lands, barren lands and rain fed-waterbodies. The site area is mostly a

plain land with undulations at some places.

Hydrologically, there are no major rivers in the area and most of the minor rivers present are

ephemeral in nature. The drainage pattern is dendritic to sub-dendritic following straight courses.

Sriram Sagar Flood Flow Canal (SRSP Kakatiya Canal) is passing adjacent, and a Shayampet pond is in

northwestern direction and is outside the project site. Drainage map is shown in Figure 7.4.

Figure 7.3 Contour map



7.12.3 Soils

The major soil type in the area is red soil; and also found black and lateritic soils. In the site area, the

soils are mostly red morrum. The red soils are strong brown to reddish-brown in colour and these

are sandy loams, sandy clay loam and clay loam in texture found most commonly. Also found are

sandy and gravelly textured soils. The alluvial soils are found at shallow depths covered in the flood

plains along the major streams only.

7.12.4 Geology

The area is mainly covered with crystalline rock of archaean age. These rocks mainly consisting of

granites and gneisses with several intrusions like quartz and pegmatite veins. Few dolerite dykes are

present in the north eastern part outside the textile park. Most of the granites are exhibiting

porpheritic texture. Grey granites are more common formations occurring within the industrial park.

The generalized stratigraphic succession is shown below:

Age Lithology

Recent etc. River alluvium, sands —less unconsolidated rock materials of sand, silt, clays

Archean Granites, gneisses, quartzite’s, laterites

7.12.5 Hydrogeology

The crystalline rocks like granite and gneisses lack primary porosity. They develop secondary porosity

through fracturing and weathering over ages and thus become water bearing. The movement of

ground water is controlled by the degree of inter-connection of secondary pores/voids. The depth to

Figure 7.4 Drainage map



bed rock varies from few meters to 30 m bgl. Ground water occurs under unconfined conditions in

weathered zone and under semi confined conditions in the fractures and fissures. The deeper

fractured aquifer is developed through bore wells. The fractured aquifers are potential up to 100 m

depth in general, the occurrence of fractures decreases drastically beyond 100m depth. Potential

fractures are encountered only along the lineaments and at other favorable location. The deeper

water levels of more than 20 m bgl are observed in and around the Textile Park.

7.12.5.1 Hydrological Assessment:

In order to have detailed understanding about the surface topographical conditions and catchment

area assessment within the MTP and in an area of about 5km radius of the study area has been

generated. Based on the developed drawings the hydrological assessments including runoff

calculations and suggestive rainwater harvesting system were made for the textile park.

It is observed there are three secondary grade streams are passing across the Textile Park. These

streams are designated as Stream 1, Stream 2 and Stream 3 based on their presence from west to

east respectively. Topographically the area is basically a negative zone for development of deep cut

stream valleys. Most of the site area is located over a water divide. The existing streams are not

perennial and are only seasonally flowing streams. These streams are connected to the surface tanks

existing further south from the MTP area. In order to protect the existing streams it is suggested to

have 50 m buffer zone on either side of the streams by considering all protective measures. Only

clean water has to be released into the streams during rainy period. The map revealing the surface

profile within the MTP is shown in Figure 7.5. The demarcated catchments for existing streams in the

site are shown in Figure 7.6. The lineament map is shown in Figure 7.7. The map of micro watershed

is shown in Figure 7.8. Map showing buffer zone for existing streams for protection is shown in

Figure 7.9.

Figure 7.9 Map showing buffer zone areas for existing stream protection



7.12.5.2 Groundwater mode and occurrence

Groundwater occurs in open spaces of weathered fractures and fissures of gneisses and granites

which are below the soil horizon. There are found only limited aquifers. In weathered zone,

groundwater occurs under confined and in fractured and jointed formations, it occurs under semi-

confined to confined conditions. The mode of groundwater extraction is mainly through bore wells

with few only open wells existing. Due to over exploitation in many areas, groundwater in

weathered zone was dried-up, semi-confined to confined aquifer conditions are formed due to

fractures and fissures in hard rocks in greater depths. In hard rock areas, depth to water in wells

varying from 5 to 20 m bgl during summer, and below 2 to 5 m bgl during post monsoon. The yield

ranges from 20 to 60 cu. m/day. The deeper fractured aquifer developed through bore wells are

mostly potential upto 100 m depth, the occurrence of fractures decreases drastically beyond 100m

depth. Potential fractures are encountered only along lineaments and at other favorable locations.

Discharge of successful bore wells ranges from 0.5 lps to 4 lps. Transmissivity values range from 2.36

to 12.65 cu. m/day. In alluvial areas, yields of shallow wells varying from 30 to 60 cu.m/day, and of

dug wells and dug-cum-bore wells are upto 300 cu.m/day. The depth of alluvial sands varies from 5

to 20 mbgl. [CGWB studies, Sep. 2013]. Groundwater level fluctuations trend (2012 CGWB data) is

showing a rise of more than 4 m bgl.

7.12.6 Groundwater classification as per the Central Ground Water Authority

According to Groundwater Resource Estimation Studies (GEC 97) carried out by Central Ground

Water Board (CGWB), the net annual groundwater resources available in Warangal district is

1854.18 MCM with a groundwater draft of 1376.45 MCM (million cubic meter) and the ground water

balance is 511.39 MCM in command and non-command areas respectively. Based on this draft, the

stage of groundwater development in Hanamkonda mandal is categorized as 'critical' due to 95% of

resource overexploitation. (CGWB southern region, information booklet, Warangal district, Andhra

Pradesh, in September, 2013).

Total net groundwater availability (Hanamkonda mandal) 3387 ham

Existing gross groundwater draft for irrigation 2800 ham

Existing gross groundwater draft for domestic and industrial water supply 4333 ham

Existing gross groundwater draft for all uses 3233 ham

Provision for domestic and industrial requirement supply to 2025 546 ham

7.12.7 Storm water drainage system and run off estimate

Based on rainfall intensity of proposed site, storm water drainage system will be designed. The graph

of rainfall trend of Warangal is shown in Figure 7.10. The site is planned with well-designed

network of open surface drains and rainwater harvesting pits along the drains, so that all the storm

water is drained off without any water logging. It is planned to achieve proper utilization of

rainwater by using appropriate water harvesting mechanisms. Rainwater harvesting will be done by

construction of harvesting pits all along the storm water drainage network at a definite pitch.

Necessary expert advice will be taken in this regard. The collected storm water will be pre-treated

and diverted to raw water storage tanks for harvesting and, the excess if any will be used for

greenbelt/gardening purpose. The estimated surface runoffs for streams is shown in Table 7.14

and for project site the runoff estimate and rainwater harvesting shown in Table 7.15.

There is an imbalance between runoff load and carrying capacity of stream 1. Under this circumstances in-fact the width of stream should be increased.

But the estimation is made under vacant condition of the site. After development of industrial park the runoff load will come down to more than 60% since each individual industry will hold their runoff for ground water recharge purpose. Under these circumstances the left out runoff will be accommodated within the existing stream hence, no improvement of stream is recommended.

Per day extraction limit of groundwater is 3923 cu. m/day



Chapter – 8 Project Benefits

8.1 Introduction

The proposed Mega Textile Park (MTP) will be developed as a world class destination for attracting

investors from across the world. The Government of Telangana is keen to develop the MTP with

state-of-art site planning, incorporating appropriate concepts of eco-industrial Park and sustainable

development. By attracting investment from potential investors for the project, in addition, it is

bound to bring significant benefits to the local people and also to overall project region. The

proposed project will enhance economic growth and empower region development.

A comprehensive understanding of the project area evolved through socio-economic baseline and

social impact assessment studies carried out. Thus, a Comprehensive Intervention Plan for the

project area containing all the measures that need to be implemented in the different stages of

construction and operation of the project was formulated. This chapter addresses the Project

benefits due to implementation of the project to the local communities and to the country as a

whole.

8.2 Infrastructure facilities

There will be an increase in the infrastructure resources due to the project in the region by the way

of additional/improved transport, communication, health facilities and other basic facilities being

created. Creation of new infrastructure or up gradation of the existing infrastructure is likely to

create a boost to the local economy and enhance the quality of life of the people living in the project

region.

8.2.1 Physical and social infrastructure

The demand on the facilities in the surrounding villages due to the proposed project and the influx of

migrants can create a lot of pressure on existing infrastructure such as water, solid waste

management system and social infrastructures such as education facilities, health facilities, etc.

In order to meet the additional strain on existing infrastructure, a non-processing area is proposed in

project premises which will cater to the needs of employees of the industries such as schools, health

care facilities, commercial activities and recreational/entertainment facilities. Proposed facilities in

the non-processing zone shall be shared with the nearby settlements such as Shayampet,

Chintalapalli, Venkatapuram and Sangem, etc., in the region. The proposed social infrastructures like

Banks, ATM’s, Post Office & fire stations shall serve the region and other nearby towns. Hence strain

on existing water sources is minimised.

8.3 Induced development

Due to proposed Textile Park, surrounding villages and region would get maximum benefits. The development will be realised on several fronts.

Ensured and reliable supply of power to upcoming park and surrounding region.



Benefits may be realized either as upcoming of industries and its allied ancillary units would be a boon for development of the region.

Implementation of the project will improve the existing connectivity and thus expected to benefit the locals.

Enhancement in the standard of living of the local people improving the income status.

Better quality of educational and medical facilities to the local people.

Improvement in the trading, marketing as well as value addition of local products.

Project development will also attract hotel business, banking sector, small eateries, construction, transport and other supply services.

Generation of varied direct and indirect employment catering to the available skilled and unskilled manpower in the surrounding region.

Provision of skill development activities to the employable youth in the region, thereby generating opportunities for fruitful income.

The proposed project will also cater to the growing demand-supply gap of physical and social infrastructure.

Thus, the proposed project is further acting as catalyst to industrialization and urbanization of the region.

8.4 Improved socio economic condition

Assessment of the potential socioeconomic impacts due to the proposed project focused primarily

on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies and increase in industrial activity, traffic,

increase in demand for services related to food, housing, communications, law enforcement,

medical care and local transportation, etc. The proposed project is likely to have a positive impact on

the socio-economic conditions of the region. The social structure in the region is likely to change due

to the creation of more job opportunities and avenues for income generation. People will have

higher incomes due to direct employment as well as indirect employment and will have higher

earning and buying capacities.

8.4.1 Quality of life

The quality of life in the region is likely to improve due to the creation of several job opportunities

for the local people so that the dependency changes and there will be more than one earning

member in the family, which will provide economic freedom. Higher income will provide better

opportunities for enjoying higher standard of living with better facilities. The employment

generation also reduces the migration of local people to other regions.

8.4.2 Health facilities

As a part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, it is envisaged to create health

infrastructure in the form of Mobile Medical Unit and Community Outreach Centres, which will be



beneficial to the employees and also to the local people living in the region as their dependency on

nearby towns and cities for quality medical treatment will be reduced. As part of CSR, it is also

proposed to conduct periodic health camps and carryout health and nutrition related programmes

which will create health awareness and lead to better health conditions of the people.

8.4.3 Skill development activities

The village educational status among the overall population has lower preference for higher

education which degrades the social development in the region and discourages the female

education. This is true the other way also; such that if the female education is lower, the parameters

of social upliftment of females and development of the region is affected negatively.

With globalization, Indian industries are now opening to the world, resulting in growing demand for

world-class quality workmanship and deployment of latest technologies to enhance technical skill

and productivity. Intense training to workforce and equipping them with required knowledge and

skill will ensure quality and higher level of productivity of men and machines.

Realizing this, as part of CSR, it is proposed to provide vocational training in professional manner and

to develop highly trained workforce that suits requirement of various industries. Structured training

programmes will be conducted to enable both new entrants and less experienced workers in order

to improve their skill levels, knowledge and competency.

8.5 Employment opportunities

The proposed project would have beneficial impacts through provision of direct and indirect

employment opportunities. At the time of construction and operational phases, there would be

requirement for large number of skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled work force. Proposed project will

open up new avenues of development through creation of direct and indirect employment

opportunities. It is imperative that local people would be employed based on their skills and

educational qualifications.

Expected direct employment from proposed project, its ancillary units and common utilities is

around 1,90,000. In addition, there is wide variety of jobs that are generated in form of indirect

employment (e.g. businesses, hotels and eateries, construction work, transportation work, etc.). This

project may generate indirect employment up to 1.5 times of direct employment.

There would also be a significant number of spin-off opportunities created within the region in other

establishments catering to the needs of the project that will also employ a substantial number of

people. Furthermore, Capacity Building and Skill Development trainings will be imparted to the local

youth populace, thereby enabling them to be engaged in fruitful employment opportunities. This will

definitely bring a reduction in the existing unemployment level in the region. Thus, the proposed

project will have a positive impact on socio-economic condition of the overall region.

8.6 Revenue generation

The exposure of economies to trade and its related activities gave prominence to the development

of Industrial estate. Industrial Estates/Parks can be considered as the engines of growth for any



country. The importance of Industrial estate/Parks and its related infrastructure plays a vital role in

the growth of a nation and its economy.

The project construction and operation will generate revenue for the State and Central Government

by way of payment of royalty, tax etc. In addition to the above, Industrial estate/park development

will attract investments into the region and thereby contribute to economic growth of Warangal

District and the State of Telangana and the country as a whole.

8.7 Implementation and funding

After the establishment of industries the based on the qualification of the individuals and the

requirement of the industries recruitment shall be done by the upcoming industries.

Financial help will be provided to local youth (tuition fees, hostel charges, books, examination fees,

etc.) of the study area in getting them trained in industrial training institutes/centers, polytechnics in

various trades like electricians, plumbers, fitters, drivers, etc. An approximate amount of 1% of the

total project cost (around Rs.25 lakhs for first year) is earmarked towards CSR activities.

TSIIC shall develop the park by providing the required infrastructure while the Upcoming industries

shall comply with the CSR activities.



Chapter 9

Environmental Management Plan

9.1 Introduction

The development of the proposed Mega Textile Park (MTP) needs to be intertwined with utilization

of natural resources within the limits of permissible assimilative capacity. The Environmental

Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development of the proposed MTP to

meet these objectives.

The EMP is an action plan aiming to control pollution at the source level to the maximum possible

extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they

are discharged. It encompasses the mitigation measures that are proposed in order to synchronize

the economic development of the study area with the environmental protection of the region.

9.2 Environmental management during constructional stage

The impacts during the constructional stage of the proposed MTP on the environment would be

basically of temporary in nature and are expected to reduce gradually on completion of the

constructional activities.

9.2.1 Air quality mitigation measures

For the proposed MTP, levelling and grading will be carried out, wherever possible to maintain the

natural elevations they will not be disturbed, only levelling activity will be carried out for providing

roads, sewage network, storm water system, and places required for providing buildings for

administration, production/manufacturing plant and other utility erections. According to the

engineering assessment; most of the excavated material shall be reused within the proposed MTP.

Most of the construction dust will be generated by the movement of carrying vehicles on unpaved

roads. Unloading and loading of constructional materials shall also act as a potential source for dust

nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below:

Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the proposed MTP will be done; this activity will be carried out at least twice a day. If need arises (such as on windy days), the frequency will be increased; in this way around 50% reduction on the dust contribution from the exposed surface will be achieved.

The duration of stockpiling of excavated material will be as short as possible; as most of the material will be used as backfill material for road development.

Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3 m) will be erected around the proposed construction site as barrier for dust control.

Tree plantations around the boundary, along the roads will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old samplings using drip irrigation / watering at regular intervals so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.



All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin/plastic sheet and the unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.

To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighbourhood the external part of the building under construction will be covered by plastic sheets.

Given the implementation of proper control measures for dust suppression, no adverse impacts are

expected and compliance with the Ambient Air Quality is achieved at ASR’s (Air Pollution Sensitive

Receivers) at all time.

9.2.2 Water quality mitigation measures

During the development of proposed MTP necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff

water from the proposed site gets collected in working pit and if any over flow, it will be diverted to

nearby greenbelt/plantation area.

At the time of construction in the proposed MTP, all the equipment washed water will be diverted to

working pit to arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for

constructional purposes, and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission.

The waste generated from the proposed project site, will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc.,

and disposed to authorized recyclers. The waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc., will be disposed to

municipal bins or sold-out to the authorised agencies. The domestic wastewater generated from

temporary toilets used by the work force will be treated through sewage treatment plant and

reused. Therefore, impact on water quality due to the proposed MTP would be insignificant.

9.2.3 Noise mitigation measures

Noise generating equipment will be used during daytime for brief period of its requirement. Proper

enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, wherever possible the noise generating

equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height

(3 m) will be erected around the noise generating activity or all around the proposed site as barrier

for minimizing the noise travel to surrounding areas. Therefore, impact on noise environment due to

proposed MTP would be insignificant.

All vehicles entering into the proposed site will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow

horns unless it is required. Personal protective equipment like ear-muffs, helmets covering ears

would be provided to the workers working near noise generating equipment and will see that

workers use the protective gadgets regularly.

9.2.4 Solid waste mitigation measures

The solid waste generated during constructional period being predominantly inert in nature,

construction and demolition waste does not create any chemical or biochemical pollution. However,

maximum effort would be made to reduce, reuse and recycle them. The most of the solid waste

material will be used for filling/levelling of low-lying areas. All attempts will be made to stick to the

following measures.



All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site itself. A proper screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered

Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated

Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making roads/pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land filled.

The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number of skip containers/trolleys on hire

The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of the

separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high potential

for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled materials.

Construction waste can be used in the following manner.

Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings, and so on, to the extent possible and depending upon their conditions.

Sale/auction of materials which cannot be used at the proposed site due to design constraint.

Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal, used cement bags, etc., can be sold-out to the authorised agencies.

Rubble/brick bats can be used for building activity, such as levelling and under coat of lanes, where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.

Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filling-up of low lying areas.

Fine material, such as sand and dust, can be used as cover material

Unearthed soil can be used for levelling as well as for lawn development

Broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for levelling in the building or can be disposed off

Unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be disposed of to the authorised agencies

9.2.5 Ecological aspects

In the proposed project site, no major vegetation is present and hence there will not be any negative

impact on the existing plantation. However, the proponent is going for plantation along the boundary,

along the roads during construction activity. A comprehensive greenbelt program will improve the

ecological condition of the region.



9.2.6 Site security

Adequate security arrangement would be made to ensure that the local inhabitants and the stray cattle

are not exposed to the potential hazards of construction activities.

9.3 Management during operational stage

Necessary control measures will be undertaken at the design stage to meet the statutory

requirements towards minimizing environmental impacts.

The design basis for all member industries will lay special emphasis on measures to minimize the

effluent generation and emission control at source. The specific control measures related to gaseous

emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, solid waste disposal etc., are described

below:

9.3.1 Air quality management

a) Reduction of emissions at source

To control the dust particulates from the stacks to meet the MoEF&CC standards through

appropriate air pollution control equipment’s are proposed. To control SO2 and NOx emissions from

DG set stack of member industries, stack of sufficient height is proposed to meet the MoEF&CC

guidelines.

b) Air pollution control

The main sources of air pollution from the proposed MTP are diesel generator (DG) and Boiler

emissions. The DG and Boilers are being proposed and operated by the member industries in the

MTP. The DG sets will be used by respective individual units and common utilities during power

failure for emergency requirement, whereas the boilers are used for steam requirement of

individual units and common utilities. The air pollution control measures to be adopted are

summarized in Table 9.1.

Table 9.1: Air pollution control measures

S. No. Air pollutant Source Control

As common facilities

1. PM10/PM2.5/SO2/NOx and CO DG Sets & boiler Stack height and air pollution control equipment meeting MoEF&CC regulations.

At individual industry

2. Process emissions of member industries

Fugitive in nature during material flow

Standardization of equipment and accessories (engineering standards)

3. PM10/PM2.5/SO2/NOx and CO

DG sets and boilers of member

industries

Stack height and air pollution control equipment meeting MoEF&CC regulations.

c) Particulate emissions

The Permissible AAQ standard as per ministry of environment, forests and climate change for

industrial, residential and other areas are 60 µg/m3 for PM - (<2.5 µm ) and 100 µg/m3 for PM - (<10

µm ) using respirable/fine dust sampler (RDS) by gravimetric method.



The DG Sets and Boilers used by member industries and common utilities operating in the proposed

MTP, as part of an agreement - must include the provision air pollution control equipment’s to attain

the prescribed limits of NAAQ Standards, 2009—industrial, residential, rural and others for

particulate matter (<2.5µm and <10µm).

d) Control of gaseous emissions

To minimize the Sulphur dioxide emission on ambient air, the stack height for letting of flue gases at

safe dispersion height has to meet the standards laid down by MoEF&CC. The majority source of SO2

emission will be due to DG set and boiler operations by the member industries. Advanced

combustion technology with low NOx burners will be provided to limit NOx emissions to 200 g/GJ.

9.3.2 Water and waste water quality management

a) Water management

The primary source of water for the proposed MTP is industrial water supply by Government of

Telangana. The major part of this water will be supplied to the member industries used for industrial

needs and the minor part of this water will be used for domestic requirement.

b) Wastewater generation

It is proposed to install full-fledged treatment plant for treating the industrial effluents and sewage

generated by the member industries and from common utilities in the proposed MTP. All the

upcoming member industries have to treat their wastewater in their respective industrial units up to

meeting inlet standards of the proposed CETP.

Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) and Common Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP) for treating

the industrial effluents and sewage generated from member industries is proposed so as to meet the

statutory requirements for disposal and reuse of the wastewater.

9.3.3 Rain water harvesting and storm water management

Based on the rainfall intensity of the proposed site, storm water drainage system will be designed. It

consists of well-designed network of open surface drains and rainwater harvesting pits along the

drains so that all the storm water is drained of without any water logging. It is planned to achieve

proper utilization of rainwater by using appropriate water harvesting mechanism. Rainwater

harvesting will be done by the construction of harvesting pits all along the storm water drainage

network at a definite pitch. Necessary expert advice will be taken in this regard.

Under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity, to improve the recharging capacity of the

aquifer, greenbelt development will be taken up by individual industries

9.4 Noise level management

All the noise generating equipment in the MTP will be designed not to exceed the noise levels 85-90

dB (A) as per the OSHA (occupational safety & health administration) standards. The equipment shall

be provided with acoustic shields/enclosures to minimize the sound level inside the member

industries of the proposed MTP. Greenbelt will be developed along the boundary, along the roads,

within setback areas of industrial units to prevent noise generation beyond the MTP boundary.



The following measures are suggested to keep the noise levels within the permissible standards in

member industries:

Noise barriers will be placed around the stationary noise generating equipment of the

proposed MTP and also along the side of moving objects

All noise generating machines like pumps, compressors, etc., shall be properly serviced and

mounted on anti-vibration pads to reduce the noise generation

The DG sets shall be provided by acoustic enclosure

Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles will be done

In addition to this, the open areas in the proposed MTP shall be provided with adequate greenbelt to

minimize the noise levels. The proponent of member industries during operation of their plants

would monitor the noise levels within and outside the plant on a regular basis to attain national

standards for noise quality are strictly adhered to. Corrective action would be initiated immediately

in case of any deviations are found during the course of monitoring.

9.5 Solid waste management

The waste generated by the member industries/manufacturing units can be classified as:

Manufacturing process waste—may fall under the hazardous and non-hazardous waste

category

Waste from utilities such as ash, paper and plastic and other packing waste

Pollution control facilities—primary STP/ETP sludge

All the member industries coming up in the proposed MTP, with respect to the category and type of

waste, will segregate and store the waste temporarily in an earmarked area. If required, the services

of the common hazardous waste management facility (CHWMF) which already exists in Dundigal,

Hyderabad will be utilized. All the hazardous waste from member industries will be transported to

CHWMF facility for treatment and for further safe disposal as per the statutory requirement and

procedures. Safe storage and transportation of the produced solid and hazardous waste is the total

responsibility of the member industry.

Municipal solid waste would be collected and stored in an earmarked storage yard and further hand

over to the authorized facility for treatment and disposal by the member industries and by the

developer.

9.6 Greenbelt development

In order to comply with the MoEF&CC guidelines for greenbelt development within the proposed

MTP, management will develop thick greenbelt of tall and evergreen plants 15 m along the

periphery, 2m along the roads and within setback areas of the individual industrial units.

MTP official will also instruct and make an agreement (MoU) with member industries to develop

greenbelt and along the periphery of the member industries. Sufficient space, resources and man

power for development and maintenance of greenbelt are provided in the plan. Greenbelt

development is one of the most effective environmental pollution control measure. Trees play vital

role in the environment in preventing the horizontal dispersion of the pollutants to the surrounding

areas. They are very effective in trapping the pollution causing agents viz., dust and gaseous



pollutants. They are also considered to be excellent indicators of excessive ground level

concentrations. The greenbelt is being proposed for the following objectives.

Mitigation of fugitive dust emissions

Noise pollution control

Prevention of soil erosion

Balancing eco-environment

Aesthetics

Apart from the bulk plantation in vacant areas, roadside avenue plantations, parks will also be taken

up. The placement of the plants would be designed as follows:

Trees growing up to 10 m or more in height with thick canopy cover and perennial foliage would be planted around the proposed MTP

Planting of trees would be done in rows with minimum three rows encircling perimeter of the installation. While planting the trees care would be taken that the installation structure would be difficult to see through foliage when seen from a point outside the green envelope. For preventing the horizontal dispersion of pollutants, if any, the trees planted in alternate rows would fall in straight line.

Trees would be planted on roadside for containment of vehicular traffic emissions and fugitive emissions due to the movement of vehicles.

Tree trunks being free foliage up to a height of 2 to 3 m, it is also proposed to grow shrubs in front of trees so as to give coverage to the open portion.

Sensitive species like Mangifera indica will be planted in patches along the entire greenbelt to work as an indicator of pollution potential.

9.7 Fire protection services

Fire protection is one of the most essential services in the proposed MTP and overhead water

storage tanks with a required storage capacity shall be constructed at park level, individual member

industries will also should maintain sufficient water within their premises in overhead tanks for

emergency needs.

All the member industries within the proposed MTP are expected to have their own unit or site

specific fire protection system and the common fire protection system as additional backup and

support required combating any eventualities due to fire accidents. In addition to this, a fire station

is recommended with adequate fire protection personnel and other standard fire protection devices

to attend the fire calls from the industries within the MTP or strengthen the services of the common

fire station available nearby appropriately to the requirement of the MTP and use their services as

and when required.

The firefighting facilities listed above are planned for combating the fire emergencies in the MTP.

However, during the allotment of lands/approvals for setting up of the units, the MTP management

shall inform respective industry to comply with the guidelines laid down in the safety policy of the

proposed MTP.



Chapter – 10 Summary & Conclusion

10.1 Project objectives

The State Government of Telangana through Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation

Limited (TSIIC) proposes to develop a Mega Textile Park (MTP) with state-of-the-art manufacturing

facilities for ginning, spinning, weaving, knitting and Textile processing at Shayampet village of

Geesugonda mandal and Chintalapalli village of Sangem mandal in Warangal district. The proposed

MTP will be implemented in five phases in 1190 acres of land.

TSIIC envisages establishing world class integrated common infrastructure in the proposed Park with

plug and play built up infrastructure and common facilities to support the Textile and Apparel

Industry to move up in the value chain. The Master Plan for the Project is prepared with an objective

to cover all activities in the Textiles value chain and help the Industry in Telangana in achieving

economies of scale.

10.2 Project background

Telangana is the twelfth largest State in India both in terms of area and population. Telangana is an

important Textile hub in India and has major locational advantages with international airport at

Hyderabad, extensive railway & road network, stable power situation, improved telecommunication

system and plenty of natural resources.

The major cities in Telangana are Hyderabad, Warangal, Mahabubnagar, Karimnagar, Nizamabad,

and Khammam. 15 National Highways of length 2,495 km cross Telangana and 24 State Highways of

length 1,815 km cover the State. South Central Railway (SCR) headquartered at Secunderabad is the

second highest revenue earning zone in Indian Railways. The international airport at Hyderabad

connects domestic and international destinations and handles cargo to all over the world and major

cities in India.


bales per annum. The State stood at third position in the country in cotton production during the

year 2014-15. The State is known for skilled Textile workers but due to absence of industry, they

migrated to other states for their livelihood.

There are 33 spinning mills with capacity of 10 lakh spindles, which consumes only about 20% of the

cotton grown in the State with the rest 80% going to other states for spinning. Capacity utilization of

weaving industry in the State is negligible and there is not much processing capacity available in the

State. There is no further downstream facility like processing and garmenting.

After bifurcation of the State, 75% of the pre-division cotton growing areas have remained in the

State while only 20% of the pre-division spinning capacity remains in the State. Thus most of the

cotton goes to neighboring states for value addition, and so does the majority of the cotton yarn.

The availability of high cotton production and labour force presents an opportunity to create large

integrated Textile manufacturing capacities in the State. This will also support overall industrial

development in the State.

10.3 Proposed project

The MTP is proposed to be located in a district which is a major cotton producing district and trading

centre in the State. The region has a strong presence of Textile clusters (Warangal Durries) and

skilled manpower. The proposed Project envisages ploughing back economic benefits of the Park to

the local populace by catering to all activities in the Textile value chain.

TSIIC is a progressive Government organization responsible for planning and development of

industrial infrastructure in the State. TSIIC is known for creating landmark infrastructure projects in

the State, which are fueling economic growth. TSIIC proposes to develop the MTP in Warangal.

TSIIC proposes to establish the MTP on 1190 acres of land with world class integrated infrastructure

which shall broadly include

(i) Common Infrastructure

(ii) Built-Up Physical Infrastructure

(iii) Common Facilities

(iv) Social Infrastructure



The proposed MTP shall be implemented in a phased manner depending on the market demand.

Due to the large size of the Project, a long term strategy shall be adopted for the complete

implantation of MTP. The phasing approach shall not only help in ensuring sustainable development

of the Park but also in ensuring availability of fabric, accessories and man power for 75% of sales

value of garments.

10.4 Description of Environment

As described of baseline studies of the 10 km radius of surrounding of project site area. The data

collected has been used to understand the existing environment scenario around the proposed MTP

project against which the potential impacts of the project can be assessed. The present activities will

not have any adverse impacts on any of the common property resources of the village communities,

as the project area is not being used for any purpose by any section of the society in this region.

the society in this region.



b) Water Quality

The analysis results indicate that the pH of the ground waters was to be in the range of 7.1 at

Katrapalli (GW4) and 7.8 at Shayampet (GW2). The TDS were found to be in the range of 335 mg/l at

Shayampet (GW2) and 1684mg/l at Sangem (GW5). Out of the 11 samples only 3 samples

Shayampet (GW2), Chintalapalli (GW3) and Mondrai (GW11) were within the acceptable limits and

remaining was within the permissible limits. Other parameters like Chlorides and Sulphates were

observed to be well within the acceptable limits. It is seen that the physico-chemical analysis for all

the parameters are within the standards as per IS: 10500:2012.

c) Noise Levels



Day equivalent noise levels (Ld) ranged between 51.8 to 53.9 dB (A) and Night equivalent noise levels (Ln) ranged between 40.9 to 43.1 dB (A) for residential areas.

d) Soil Quality The soil samples are analysed and results are obtained is compared with the standard soil

classification given Agriculture Soil Limits. It has been observed that the soils are sandy clay in

texture and neutral in nature. The nutrient and organic matter contents are medium and the soil is

normally fertile. The available Nitrogen is varies from 148 Kg/ha (Kanaparti) to 251 Kg/ha (Project

Site) is indicating low range. The available Phosphorous varies from 6.9 Kg/ha (Chintalapalli) to 11.4

Kg/ha (Venkatapuram) is indicating medium range and available Potassium is varies from 264 Kg/ha

(Chintalapalli) to 372 Kg/ha (Mondrai) is indicating High range in the study area.

e) Socio-economic

The information on socio-economic aspects of the study area has been compiled from secondary

sources & Field work, which include various public offices, as indicated in the above section. The

sociological aspects of this study include human settlements, demography, social such as Scheduled

castes and Scheduled Tribes and literacy levels besides infrastructure facilities available in the study

area. The economic aspects include occupational structure of workers.

f) Biological

The area is devoid of vegetation and wild life. The proposed project site is confined for Mega Textile

Park with an area of 1190 acres. Major scale of flora – fauna activities will be affected by the

proposed activity. There is no Wild Life Sanctuary within 10km from the project site. There is no RF.

The detailed biological environment described in Chapter-3 of Section 3.11.

The study area was divided in two major parts namely the Core area and buffer area.

Core Area: the core area is mostly comprised of project site and the area is flat with fallow

agriculture land with barren patches.

Buffer Area: The buffer area i.e. area surrounding the project site is majorly occupied by the

agriculture fields. The board categories of the land use types in the buffer area include fallow

agriculture fields, waste land, water bodies and scrubs.



10.5 Estimated project cost

Based on the block estimates for the various facilities proposed in MTP, the aggregate cost of the

Project was presented the Table below.

Considering that the Project shall be implemented over five phases, the Project Cost mentioned

above has been further bifurcated for respective phases based on the total area to be developed in a

particular phase. The component like CETP will be taken up on Public Private Partnership (PPP)

mode.


1 Roads 91.68

EMP budget: The cost for EMP budget would be 5% of the Total Project Cost.

10.6 Proposed means of finance

The Promoters of the Project proposes to place the MTP for approval of grant/funding from

Government of India and Government of Telangana under suitable schemes.

10.7 Conclusion

Warangal is the highest cotton growing district in Telangana and has one of the largest cotton

market yards in the region. Apart from cotton, presence of cotton ginning & pressing facilities,

availability of water and good railway & road connectivity make Warangal an attractive destination

to establish the MTP Project. In terms of availability of skilled manpower, it has been seen that

majority of skilled workers in Textile sector who migrated to other Textile hubs such as Andhra

Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are originally from Warangal.


common facilities. The Park will be developed on a vertical integrated model to cover complete

Textile chain in one place. The Project shall meet the Industry standards and compliances and

thereby allowing the member units to complete globally. The Project will help in positioning

Telangana as a global sourcing hub for large scale buyers.

By considering the entire baseline data collected during December, 2016 - February, 2017 as part of

the EIA study conducted in the study area and by evaluating all the possible environment impacts of

the project, it can be concluded that project activities during construction and operation phase of

this proposed Project will not have any significant negative impact on environment. If all the

environment management plans, Disaster management plan given is strictly followed. More over

this project will have a positive impact on the socio economy of this region as source of

employment.
