M/s. Jeevika Spakchem Pvt. Ltd. is an up-coming Organic Chemicals manufacturing industry having the

following aspects:

1. M/s Jeevika Spakchem Pvt Ltd, is planning to manufacture Organic Chemicals like

Easters/Surfactants/Defoamer/Antifoamers/Emulsifying agents.

2. The unit is coming up in MIDC, Butibori (Dist- Nagpur) having all infrastructure facilities viz.

CETP, Water, Power and labour.

3. The manufacturing process adopted by M/s Jeevika Spakchem Pvt ltd is simple and already a

proven process.

4. The chemicals which will be manufactured by the unit holds good market in Explosive

manufacturing units, Resin manufacturing units, Aluminum manufacturing units, Sugar

industries, Fertilizers industries etc., in India as well as outside India. The company has

confirmed orders from a foreign company namely Spic N Clean, located in Sydney Australia.

5. Defoamers/Antifoamers holds good demand from fertilizers industries particularly from

Southern part of India like Coramandel Fertilizers, Paradeep Phosphate, Sterlite Industries

etc. These chemicals also find use in the in oil drilling rigs and in sugar industry in their

Distilliery units. Similarly Sorbitol Easters like SMO is used for explosion in mining areas like

Chandrapur, Singrauli etc. Units of Premeir Explosives, Gulf Oil Corporation, Ideal Explosives,

Solar Explosives etc. are into mining industries and requires the product in Bulk quantities.

6. Nagpur is centrally located in the country and has big location advantage. Raw material

availability in the nearby areas is very good. The promoters of the unit are well educated

and highly experienced. The chief promoter has more than 40 years of industrial experience

of shop floor and as an Industrial consultant. The investment will be brought in as foreign

Direct Investment (FDI) by one of the directors of the company.

2.3 Need for the project

India is a major producers of organic chemicals after the list of leading producers like USA, Germany, UK,

Japan and China. Few Latin American countries such as Brazil and Chile are increasing their presence in

global organic chemicals market. There are important numerous varieties of organic chemicals. Organic

chemicals manufactured and exported from India are methanol, acetic acid, formaldehyde and

phenol. Availability of natural gas for use as feedstock is a critical part of the entire production process.

Formaldehyde and acetic acid are important methanol derivatives and are used in numerous industrial

applications. Phenol is an aromatic compound and derived from Cumene, a benzene and propylene

derivative. Major organic chemicals in India are methanol, acetic acid, formaldehyde and phenol. These

four chemicals constitute more than 60% of domestic capacity for organic chemicals. Methanol has the

maximum share accounting for 20% of the total domestic capacity followed by acetic acid and

formaldehyde with 19% and 16% share respectively.

2.4 Importance to the Country and Region

Organic chemical is one of the important sectors of the Indian chemical industry. It has played a vital

development role by providing chemicals and intermediates as inputs to other industrial sectors like

paints, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, dye stuffs and intermediates, leather chemicals and pesticides.

Global production of organic chemicals is around 400 Mn metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa).

Production was just 15 Mn metric tonnes fifty years back. Major producers of organic chemicals are

USA, Germany, UK, Japan, China and India. Few Latin American countries such as Brazil and Chile are

increasing their presence in global organic chemicals market. There are important numerous varieties

of organic chemicals. Therefore, the chemical that M/S Jeevika Spakchem Pvt. Ltd. will surely have a

good market potential. They will surely have clients for Defoamer , Sulphosuccinate formulations from

fertilizer industry in Southern India and Sorbitan Mono Oleate (SMO) will attract Explosive market from

Chandrapur, Singrauli and Andhra Pradesh.

2.5 Employment Generation (Direct or Indirect due to the project)

Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the surrounding region. Unit

will use good faith efforts to employ local people from the nearby villages depending upon the

availability of skilled & un-skilled man-power surrounding the project site.

In operation phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-technical and

5

technical persons. Migration of highly education and skilled experience will result in increase of

2.7 PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION

2.7.1 Products: The capacities of the products are given in Table No.-2.4.

Table 2.4 List of products along with production capacity


1 Esters 50 MT/ M




2.7.2 Technology and Process Description:

2.7.2.1 Manufacturing Process

The product mix considered is as under:-

1. Esters – 50 MT / Month



11

2. Sulphosuccinate / Surfactants -30 MT / Month

3. Defoamers / Antifoamers – 50 MT / Month

4. Emulsifying Agents – 20 MT / Month

1. Esters :- Manufacturing process of sorbiton Ester or Glycerol / Polyol Esters are almost

same. Fatty acid and Sorbital ot Glycerol is charged in reactor and temp. is raised with

stirring. At 180 degree C catalyst is added and again temperature is raised and maintained

at certain high temperature to get required reaction level which is determined either by

acid value or viscosity. Then the whole mass is cooled and bleached if required. The

reaction takes place at atmospheric pressure and under nitrogen purging. After completion

of process material is filled in drums. In sorbiton esters app.122 Kg of water effluent comes

out and similarly about 10 kg of fatty matter comes out. Hence total quantity of effluent

comes out from the process per day based on 6MT installed capacity would be 450/500

liters max. and the fatty matters(oil & proteins) which normally floats on the waste water

would be around 10 kg/day.

2. Sulphosuccinate / Surfactants :- Sulphosuccinate is manufactured two step reaction. In

first step Octanol and Maleic Anhydried is charged in reactor with catalyst and temperature

is raised to approx. 130 degree C and maintained until required acid value is achieved. In

second step a part of 1st step is charged in reactor with sodium Bisulphite and temperature

is raised a little until the reaction starts. It is a exothermic reaction and temperature is

maintained below 100 degree C by cooling. Then material is diluted with water and

methanol mixture to get required strength. In this reaction no water effluent comes out

from the process as all the raw materials get consumed in the process.

3. Foamers and Defoamers: - Defoamers and antifoamers are manufactured by blending

esters and Sulphosuccinate with water. During blending nothing comes out. For blending

purpose of P.P. tank of 3000 liters capacity has been considered.

4. Surfactants: - Shampoo surfactants is two step reaction. In 1st step DMAPA and coconut

oil/PK oil are charged in reactor with catalyst and temp. is raised to appox. 150 degree C

with stirring and temperature is maintained until required amine value is achieved. Then

whole mass is cooled. In second step 1st step material is charged in reactor with soft water,

caustic soda and moniochloro acetate. Temperature is raised with stirring to 70-80 degree

and temperature is maintained to get required quality. Then mass is cooled and filled in

drums/carbuoys. During process nothing comes out.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the existing environmental status of the study area with reference to the

prominent environmental attributes. The study area covers the area falling within 10-km radius from

the center of the proposed project area.

The existing environmental setting is considered to adjudge the baseline environmental conditions,

which are described with respect to climate, hydro-geological aspects, atmospheric conditions, water

quality, soil quality, vegetation pattern, ecology, socio-economic profiles of people, land use. The

objective of this section is to define the present environmental status which would help in assessing

the environmental impacts due to the proposed project.

This report incorporates the baseline data generated through primary surveys for three months during

1st October 2011 to 31st December 2011 representing post-monsoon season.

3.2 Methodology

Methodologies followed to prepare this EIA / EMP report is outlined below:

• Conducting reconnaissance surveys for knowing the study area and

• Selecting sampling locations for conducting various environment baseline studies.

• Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests on EIA.

The sampling locations have been selected on the basis of the following:

• Air quality based on predominant wind directions recorded by the IMD.

• Existing topography

• Drainage pattern and location of existing surface water bodies like lakes/ponds, rivers,

sea and streams

• Location of villages/towns/sensitive areas; and

• Areas, which represent baseline conditions

The field observations have been used to:

• Assess the positive and negative impacts due to the proposed site; and

• Suggest appropriate mitigation measures for negating the adverse environmental impacts, if

any; and

• Suggest post-project monitoring requirements and suitable mechanism for it.

3.3 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

3.3.1 Geology and Geomorphology

Geomorphology (Physiography and Drainage)

The northernmost part of the area is occupied by hill range surrounding with an opened

towards southeast. The northern limb of the hill range is covered by Bid Sukli, Dongargaon/ Injoli and

Junapani reserved forests. The area is mainly very gently undulating to almost flat country with a

general slope towards south. A few small hillocks are prominently seen rising above the surrounding

plains. A few isolated conical hills disconnected from the hill range are also seen around Junapani. The

minimum elevation in the area is 220m above. m.s.l.

The drainage of the area is mainly controlled by the Vena River and its tributary nallas. Vena

River Flows roughly southwest along the central- eastern part and takes a westerly course in the South

eastern part of the area The general drainage pattern in the area is dendritic to sub-dentritic with the

general direction of the subsidiary streams towards southeast. Bor main canal along its distributaries

passes through a part of the area.

Geology

The project area and its surrounding areas are occupied by Deccan Trap basaltic flows of

cretaceous to Eocene age. Nineteen flows of basalt are demarcated in the area. Recent deposits like

calcareous sand and conglomerate with calcareous cement, Kankar soil and alluvium occur as thin

veneer and discontinuous patches over the flows. All the flows demarcated in the area are ‘aa’ type.

The flows show well developed fragmentary top and impresting clinkery pockets. The top of the flow

at some places is vesicular. The vesicles are surrounded to irregular and are usually filled with

secondary silica and zeolites. The fragmentary top in general is 0.5 to 3m thick with grayish to ash

colour and with a rough irregular surface.

The middle massive part of the flows is generally hard, compact, dark grey, fine grained and

non to sparsely porphyritic. The massive part at place show well developed columnar –jointing,

polygonal/sheet jointing and generally show spheroidal weathering. The bole representing the top of

a flow are red, green, brown, grayish to black in colour and range in thickness from a few cms to as

much as 2.5-3m. They are gray fine grained clay friable, show typical cubical structure and at places

show spheroidal structure.



28

The contact between the bole bed and the overlying flow is generally sharp. At places the

intertrappean beds are seen at the contact of the flows. They generally consist of chert, cherty

limestone and clays of varying colours and at places are fossiliferous. Their thickness varies from a few

cm upto 2.5m. Three sets major joints are observed in the flows. The basalts also show columnar

joints, polygonal and curved sheet joints.

Table 0.1 Geological Area Sequence as per GSI

Mineral Aspect

There is no significant mineral deposit in the area. The fresh, unweathered massive parts of

the flows are in general quarried and are mainly used as road metal and construction material. The

clay and silt along river banks and major nalas is used for local brick making.

3.3.1.2 Geomorphology

The various landforms discernible on the satellite imagery can be broadly classified into

i) Structural ,

ii) Denudational and

iii) Fluvial units,

Based on the major geomorphic processes and agents involved in their transformation. These units

differ from one another in respect of lithology, structure and age of their evolution. In all geomorphic

units have been delineated on the basis of visual recognition elements viz., color/tone, texture and

vegetation.

Geomorphologically, the area can be divided into three regions viz., i) Units of structural origin like

structural hills/structural ridges, mesa, butte and dissected plateaus in the northern, western and

southeastern portions which are developed on quartzite and Deccan trap basalts, ii) near plain to

undulating topography with denudational units like pediments, pediplains in the central, eastern and

south-central portion developed over the metamorphites, Gondwana and Deccan Trap basalts, and iii)

units of fluvial origin viz., the valley hills and the alluvial plains occurring along the rivers of

Wainganga, Kanhan and their tributaries.

3.4.3 Land use in Study Area

Butibori is an industrial suburb of Nagpur, India and is developed as 5 Star Industrial district by

Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Butibori's total area acquired is 23.12 square

kilometres out of which 14.94 km² is developed. The area is developed economic development of

Nagpur city. The area receives water supply from Wadgaon Dam. Butibori also claims Maharashtra's first

Food-Park. In order to invite textile industries a common effluent treatment plant is also built.

It is just 14 km from the Municipal limits of Nagpur city. Units like Indo Rama, Acc Nihon, Woolworth,

Fabworth, Whirlpool, Morarjee Mills, KEC, Dinshaws have already commenced operation with other

industry giants waiting in the wings.

Hence, the 10 km area covered from the site is comprises of mix land use pattern i. e. industrial,

commercial & residential. The land use/ land cover details are given in Table 3.1 below and also as

3.5 SOIL CHARACTERISTICS

It is essential to determine the potentiality of soil in the area and to identify the impacts of

urbanization and Industrial on soil quality. Accordingly, the soil quality assessment has been carried

out.

3.5.1 Data Generation

The sampling locations have been identified with the following objectives:

• To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area;

• To determine the impact of proposed project on soil characteristics; and

• To determine the impact on soils more importantly from agricultural productivity point of

view.

For studying soil characteristics of the region, soil sampling locations were selected to assess the

existing soil conditions in and around the project area representing various land use types. The

physical & chemical were determined. The samples were collected by ramming a core-cutter into the

soil up to a depth of 90 cm.

3.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

The initial Environmental study begins with the Study of biological environment while

considering the need for conservation of environmental quality and biodiversity. The basic factors that

play an important role to maintain an ecosystem show complex inter-relationships between biotic and

abiotic components including dependence, competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprise

of both plant and animal communities which interact not only within and between themselves but

also with the abiotic components viz. Physical and chemical components of the environment. Mostly,

biological communities are the good indicators of climatic and edaphic factors. Studies on biological

aspects of ecosystems are important in Initial Environmental Examination for safety of natural flora

and fauna. Information on the impact of environmental stress on the community structure serves as

an inexpensive and efficient early warning system to check the damage to a particular ecosystem. The

biological environment includes mainly terrestrial ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem.



35

Biological communities are dependent on the environmental conditions and resources of its

location. It may change if there is any change in the environment. A number of variables like

temperature, humidity, rainfall, soils characteristic, topography, etc., are responsible for maintaining

the homeostasis of the environment. A change in any one of these variables may lead to stress on the

ecosystem. The animal and plant communities exist in their natural habitats in a well-organized

manner. Their natural settings can be disturbed by any externally induced anthropological activities or

by naturally induced calamities or disaster. So, once this setting is disturbed, it becomes practically

impossible or takes a longer time to come to its original state. Plants and animals are more susceptible

to environmental stress. A change in the composition of biotic communities is reflected by a change in

the distribution pattern, density, diversity, frequency, dominance and abundance of natural species of

flora and fauna existing in the ecosystem. These changes over a span of time can be quantified and

related to the existing environmental factors. The specific parameters in the study of biological

environment are biological characteristics through quadrate method. The sensitivity of animal and

plant species to the changes occurring in their existing ecosystem can therefore, be used for

monitoring Preliminary Environmental Examination studies of any project.

3.5.1 Study Area:

The survey included all the villages coming around the 10 Km radius of the project site.

Basically the project site is coming in the Village named Tembhari. The ecological survey was

conducted in villages named Satgaon, Khapri (More), Kharpri (Gandhi), MIDC area in Butibori, Butibori

village, Takalghat, Wakeshwer, Mandva, Salia Dhabha, Vadgaon and Gumgaon. The study area was a

10 km radius around the proposed site. The general topography of the area is gradually undulating to

flat. Most of the area were bare or with very scanty vegetation and agricultural land was present

everywhere except in Satgaon as it is a rehabilitated village. There are three Reserve Forest coming in

the study area. Bid Sukali RF (5-6 km from the project site), Junapani RF (8-9 km From project site) and

Dongargaon RF/ Ingoli RF. Most of the area were bare or with very scanty vegetation. The Reserve

Forests occurring in this area are dry deciduous forest. Most of the Reserved Forests are mostly

invaded by Acacia catechu and open places. The ecological studies were conducted to understand

terrestrial ecosystems around the proposed site.

3.5.2 Terrestrial Ecology



36

Thorny or prickly shrubs capable of drought resistance, represents the major composition of

the vegetation. Trees are very few and scattered. The study area best represents as arid or semi-arid

region. Majority of the area represents open agriculture land.

The survey has resulted in documenting 112 plant species. The list of the plants is given in the

Table 3.6. The land use in the area is agriculture with crop like Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Cotton

(Gossypium hirsutm). The farms are interspersed with human habitation, i.e. villages. The vegetation

in the surrounding was natural.

3.5.3 Description of the flora / vegetation within 10 km radius:

1. Agricultural crops:

The main land use around 10 Km radius of the proposed site was agriculture, mainly cultivated

with crops like Wheat (Triticum aetivum), Soyabean (Glycin max), Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum),

Red gram (Cajanus cajan) and Groundnut (Arachis hypogea) as cash crops. The crops cultivated in this

area are listed in Table 3.7. The other crops taken were Bajara (Pennisettum sp.), Sunflower

(Helianthus annuus) and Jawai (Sorghum vulgare). The leafy vegetable crops were Cabbage (Brassica

oleracea var capitata), Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and Amaranthus

sp. Occasionally the farmer were cultivating the fruit vegetables like Tomato (Lycopersicon esculenta),

Brinjal (Solanum melongea) and Capsicum (Capsicum annum).

The important fruit plants were Mangifera indica (Mango), Carica papaya (Papita), Psidium

guyava and Syzigium cumini (Jamun). Occasionally, Achras sapota (Chiku) was found grown nearby the

houses. The farms were interspersed with human habitation, villages and townships.

The agricultural land also shows some sparse vegetation. The vegetation sampling was,

therefore, carried out in Agricultural land and scrublands.

good diversity of flora, there were no reports of any species falling in endangered category as per the

IUCN and BSI record.

4. Endemic Species:

The endemic species are those, which have restricted distribution to particular geographical area. This

area was rich floristically, however, it do not show any local endemic species. No species of plants

which are endemic to India were reported from this area.

5. Medicinal Plant in Study area

The local communities directly influence the terrestrial ecosystems in the form of their access to

fulfill the needs of collection of medicinal plants, as well as other economically important plants such

as Madhuca indica (Mahua), Phyllanthus emblica (Awla), Syzygium cumini (Jamun), Diospyrus

melanoxylon (Tendu). Most important medicinal plants from the study area are Achyranthes aspera,

Solanum xanthocarpum, Tribulus terrestris, Abutilon indicum, Argemone mexicana, Adhatoda vasica,

3.5.4 Description of fauna (non-domesticated):

Faunal studies help to understand the well being of a nature and functioning of ecosystems. It

helps to monitor biological richness or heritage quality, habitat change and quantifying threatening

species. The Faunal components such as Arthropods, Pisces, Birds and Mammals are very sensitive to

the change in the ecosystem, therefore are best used as indicators of the ecosystem function and

considered crucial in the ecology and management of the Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems.

Animals and birds in the study area were documented using following means:

• Secondary sources and published literature

• By interviewing local people

• Actual sighting

• Indirect evidence (pallets, dung, droppings, scat, mould, marking on the stems etc.)

• Nesting (birds, burrows for small mammals)

The records for the birds, mammals and other faunal groups were made at the same site where

vegetation sampling was carried out. Most of the records of the mammalian and reptilian fauna are

opportunistic, nonetheless very useful to understand habitat specificity and interrelationship between

certain floral and faunal elements and also between certain geological and faunal features.

3.5.4.1 Avifauna



43

Birds are important to human welfare in various ways including seed dispersal agents. Despite

the human activities, the study sites have fairly good avifaunal diversity. The field survey resulted in

documentation of many bird species, which are listed in the Table 3.9 b.

A total of 28 birds species were observed in the study area at 9 sampling locations Table 3.9

a . A species list was prepared by walking through the areas, listing taxonomic position of each species

encountered, recording relative abundance and absolute number in study area. Birds like Painted

sand grouse (Pterocles indicus), Common sand grouse (Pterocles exustus), Painted partridges

(Francolinus pictus) , Crane (Grus antigone), Cattle egrets ( Bubulcus ibis)and Spotted bill duck (Anas

poecilorhyncha) were seen near the water bodies.

3.5.4.2 Mammals:

The study area was a place of poor mammalian diversity. Wild boars were of common

occurrence in this area. The area represent good habitat for this animal. At places, the damage

caused by them to agriculture and plantations make them vulnerable to control. Few species of

mammals have been recorded during visit from the study area. The mammalian species recorded are

listed in the following Table 3.10 along with their schedule in which they are placed according to the

Wildlife Act 1972.

3.5.4.5. Amphibians

There were two species of Amphibians seen within the study area they are Indian Bull Frog

(Rana trigrina) and Common Indian Toad (Bufo melanostictus).

3.5.4.6 Prediction of Impacts

There were no ecologically sensitive areas like national parks or wildlife sanctuaries, Tiger

Reserves within the study area.

The impacts due to proposed Chemical Industry Manufacturing Unit at ButiBori in this region

will not cause any adverse impacts on flora and fauna as the vegetation identified in the study area is

in the form of dense vegetation cover of grass, herb, shrub and trees. For fauna in the study area, the

insects, animals, birds and reptiles are encountered. The flora and fauna is evenly distributed in the

study area. The density, diversity, frequency and abundance of all species of flora (as herb, shrub, and

trees) and fauna falling in the study area are low. Further there is no exotic, endangered threatened

and rare species enlisted on observable and identified species of flora in this region.

3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT

3.6.1 Meteorology

The meteorological data recorded during the monitoring period is very useful for proper

interpretation of the baseline information as well as an input for prediction models for air quality



48

dispersion. Historical data on meteorological parameters also plays an important role in identifying

the general meteorological regime of the region.

The year may broadly be divided into four seasons:

Winter season : December to February

Pre-monsoon season : March to May

Monsoon season : June to September

Post-monsoon season : October to November

3.6.2 Methodology

The methodology adopted for monitoring surface observations was as per the standard norms laid

down by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS: 8829) and India Meteorological Department (IMD). On-site

monitoring was undertaken for various meteorological variables in order to generate the site-specific

data. The generated data was then compared with the meteorological data generated by IMD.

3.6.3 Methodology of Data Generation

The automatic meteorological instrument was installed at the project site to record wind speed,

direction, relative humidity and temperature. Cloud cover was recorded by visual observation. Rainfall

was monitored by rain gauge.

Hourly average, maximum, and minimum values of wind speed, direction, relative humidity, rainfall,

and temperature were recorded continuously.

3.6.3.1 Sources of Information

Secondary information on meteorological conditions has been collected from Meteorological

Department of India for year 2010. Temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction

are noted down twice a day viz., at 0830 and 1730 hr from the source. The wind speed and direction

data of IMD station has also been obtained for the past available 10 years. Data on Cloud cover is

compiled from the climatologically tables for the IMD station.

3.6.3.2 Presentation & Analysis of Secondary Data

3.6.3.2.1 Climate

Nagpur's farness from the sea is responsible for its dry and mildly humid climatic conditions that

remain for most part of the year. It experiences primarily three main seasons-summers, winters and

monsoon with fluctuations in temperature.



49

Summers arrive usually during March and lasts till June characterized by dryness and high

temperature shooting up to 43 degree C in the month of May.

The South-westerly monsoons set in June and the city gets heavy rainfall till September.

The annual average daily maximum temperature in year 2010 was 43°C whereas annual average daily

minimum temperature is 13°C. Average Relative Humidity recorded in year 2010 in the month of August

was 80 % & Relative humidity was recorded as 24 in the month of April. The Rainfall was the highest in

the month of July & August, 352 and 278 mm respectively.

3.6.4 Air Quality

The ambient air quality with respect to the study zone of 10-km radius around the project site forms the

baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the region are industries, commercial, and

vehicular traffic. The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to assess the existing air

quality of the area. This section describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology adopted for

sampling, analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. Monitoring for baseline parameters was



51

carried out for year 2010.

3.6.4.1 Methodology adopted for Air Quality Survey

Selection of Sampling Locations

The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a scientifically designed

ambient air quality-monitoring network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance

program has been based on the following considerations:

• Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale

• Topography of the study area;

• Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and

• Representatives of likely impact areas.

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at Six locations with due consideration to

the above mentioned points.

Table-3.14 gives the details of environmental setting around each monitoring station. The location of

the selected stations with reference to the project site is given in the same table and shown in Figure-3.7

& 3.8.

3.6.4.2 Frequency and Parameters for Sampling

Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out with a frequency of two days per week at all

locations for study period from October 2010 to December 2010. The baseline data of air environment is

generated for the following parameters:

• Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM);

• Sulphur dioxide (SO2);

• Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx);

3.6.4.3 Duration of Sampling

The sampling duration for RPM, SO2, and NOx was one twenty four hourly continuous sample twice in

week. This was to allow a comparison with the present revised standards mentioned in the latest

National Ambient Air Quality Standards Notification of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)

(November 18th, 2009).

3.6.4.4 Method of Analysis

The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central Pollution Control Board

(CPCB), IS: 5184 and American Public Health Association (APHA).



53

3.6.4.5 Selection of Instruments for Air Quality Sampling

Respirable Dust Samplers have been used for monitoring Respirable fraction (<10 microns) and gaseous

pollutants like SO2 and NOx.

3.6.4.6 Sampling and Analytical Techniques

3.6.4.6.1 Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSPM), CO, SO2 and NOx

RPM present in ambient air is sucked through the cyclone. Coarse and non-respirable dust is separated

from the air stream by centrifugal forces acting on the solid particles. These separated particulates falls

through the cyclone's conical hopper and collect in the sampling cap placed at the bottom. The fine dust

(<10 microns) forming the respirable fraction of the TSPM passes the cyclone and is retained by the filter

paper. A tapping is provided on the suction side of the blower to provide suction for sampling air

through a set of impingers. Samples of gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.2 liters per minute (lpm).

3.7 NOISE LEVEL SURVEY

The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency. Noise in general is

sound which is composed of many frequency components of various loudness distributed over the

audible frequency range. Various noise scales have been introduced to describe, in a single number, the

response of an average human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at different loudness



54

levels. The most common and universally accepted scale is the A weighted Scale which is measured as dB

(A). This is more suitable for audible range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. The scale has been designed to weigh

various components of noise according to the response of a human ear.

The impact of noise sources on surrounding community depends on:

• Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous in nature). It can be

observed that steady noise is not as annoying as one which is continuously varying in loudness;

• The time of day at which noise occurs, for example high noise levels at night in residential areas

are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance; and

• The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive land use, which determines the

loudness and period of exposure.

The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced Hearing Loss

(NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise. The environmental impact assessment of noise

due to construction activity, and vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various

factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological responses, and annoyance and general

community responses. Noise monitoring has been undertaken for 24-hr duration at each location.

3.7.1 Identification of Sampling Locations

A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources

in the area. Noise at different noise generating sources has been identified based on the activities in the

village area, ambient noise due to industries and traffic and the noise at sensitive areas like hospitals and

schools. The noise monitoring has been conducted for determination of noise levels at five locations in

the study area.

3.9 DEMOGRAPHY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE

3.9.1 Socio-economic Environment

3.9.1.1 Reconnaissance

The study of socio-economic component incorporating various facets related to socio-economic conditions

of the project area is an integral part of the EIA. The socio-economic component of the environment with

reference to human interests, aesthetic and cultural attributes needs to be studied while delineating

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for achieving desired targets without impairing the quality of life. In

order to carry out such studies information on issues such as land acquisition, compensation and assistance,

effect on employment and income generating facilities etc. along with parameters of health and risk was

collected. The project does not involve land acquisition therefore issues such as compensation,

3.9.5 Socio-economic Survey



63

The social structure of the study area was assessed by selecting respondent (Stratified random sampling

method) from the villages through set of interview schedule.

The observations of the respondents during survey work are as under:

• Social changes have been observed in rural communities which reflect the positive impact of

development of project area.

• All the respondents are aware of activities of project and have favourable opinion for the

project.

• The people of the villages are anticipating better job opportunities and improvement in the

basic amenities

• Literacy level among the respondent is satisfactory.

• Educational facilities are adequate to improve level of literacy which is indicated by literacy

rate of 65%.

• Private vehicles, Auto, Tractor are the main mode of transportation. Bus, service is available in

all villages.

• All the villages are connected with each other by Pucca as well as Kutcha roads. The road

conditions are very poor in some area which leads to poor transportation during rainy season.

• The employment rate is very low (34.67%). Agriculture plays an important role in rural area;

the work force availability for the agricultural activities is low. People are engaged in the

secondary source of employment like industries, construction activities etc.

• People are having very few acres of land with them. The land is not enough to meet their

needs & therefore the workforce prefers to work in the industries and construction related

activities. Their earning is not enough to meet their requirement and therefore indebtedness

has been observed in the study area.

• 55% of houses in the study area are “Kutchha”. Generally people are using clay tiles for roof,

wooden strips and mud for construction of walls. RCC construction has been observed in

some villages.

3.9.6 Energy Consumption Pattern

The quantity of the fuel requirement for cooking depends on various factors such as no. of persons in the

family, food habits, income of the family & Cost of fuel. The fuel that is being used by villagers is fire wood,

cow dung cakes (Goari), Kerosene, LPG gas. The supply of kerosene is controlled by government and

supplied through fair price shops approved by government. As a result most of the villages used more than

one type of cooking fuel.

3.9.7 Health Status

The morbidity pattern in the study area collected from PHC of Butibori is presented in Table 3.27



64

Fever, diarrhea, gastritis, malaria and skin diseases are common diseases and few cases of T.B, Leprosy, RTI,

have been reported in this PHC. During discussions with Medical officer of PHC he pointed out that common

fever, diarrhoea and respiratory disorders are due to seasonal changes. Ring worm infestations are mostly

reported among the patients. The main cause of infestation is the contaminated use of water and lack of

cleanliness.

3.9.8 Economic Resource Base

Agriculture is the basic profession in the study area and plays an important role in economy. Agriculture

production has been lowered down due to insufficient facility and poor resources of irrigation. The impact of

poor agriculture production leads to insufficient income generation and it causes migration, indebtedness,

and people on the move to work as a labour in nearby industry. To develop their economic strength villagers

prefer construction related work, fishery, dairy and other live stock related activity. The agricultural land is

not that much productive hence the yield is not satisfactory therefore local people have developed and

adopted other skills to earn money for their daily requirement. Youth of the project area are literate and

have the capacity to grasp any occupation, hence project area has a potential to develop their economy.

Major khariff crop in the entire project area is cotton and soya bean. The rate of production is approximately

5 to 7 Quintals per acre per year for cotton and 4 to 6 Quintals per acre for soybeans. In some are Gram,

wheat, Maze and vegetable are the secondary crops depends upon the facility of irrigation however all crops

are rainfed.

3.9.9 Awareness and opinion about the project

� The respondents from almost all the villages are aware about the project activity.



65

� The respondents from the nearby villages have shown favourable opinion about activity as it

may lead to increase in infrastructural facilities, job opportunities and business opportunities,

but at the same time people are worried about the likely increase in environmental pollution

in the region.

� Respondent have suggest minimizing the environmental pollution during and after project

activity.

� The project affected population expects permanent jobs in the projects.

� The educated youths opined that the management should give preference to them/local

people for employment as per their educational qualifications.

4.5 IMPACT ASSESSMENT

4.5.1 Impact on Water Environment

Water is essential for human, agriculture, industry and commercial use. The water environment

broadly covers the following points for consideration of impacts:

a) Industrial operations, their effect on water quality and ground water potential of study area.

b) Identifying potential sources of pollutants focusing specifically on discharge of

wastewater.

The total water requirement for the proposed project will be @ 7 KL/day. The detail of water

consumption is shown at Table no. 2.6. The source of water supply for proposed project will be

MIDC, Butibori.

There will not be waste water generated from manufacturing process. The waste water i.e 2

m3/day will be generated only in the form of boiler blow down and washing water. This

generated waste water will be given primary treatment in the proposed ETP of capacity 3

m3/day and then sent to CETP Butibori. Hence, there will not be any discharge of

wastewater from the proposed manufacturing unit.

The generated domestic waste water will to septic tank and soak pits and overflow if any

sewage will be utilized for gardening.

The details of waste water generation for proposed project is shown at Table no.2.8.

As there will be no discharge of effluent into ground or surface water or onto land, no

impact on ground or surface water quality due to wastewater discharge is envisaged for the



69

proposed project.

Some of the mitigation measures to minimize the likely environmental impacts on water

environment, due to operation of the proposed project are described below:

Table No. 4.2 Mitigative Measures for Water Environment

Sr.No. Environmental Attribute Mitigative Measures

1. Water Optimum use of water will be done for construction

activities required for proposed expansion.

Any wastages/leakages will be avoided at all possible

Locations / opportunities.

Proper handling of spillages if any will be ensured by

introducing spill control procedures for various chemicals

Water usage will be carefully monitored and re-use shall

be maximized to the extent possible

Proper facilities for storage of raw materials (i.e. with

roof and pucca floor) will be provided to prevent storm

water contamination during the storage of various

raw materials.

Monitored data will be analyzed and reviewed at regular

intervals and compared with the operating standards so

as to take necessary corrective actions.

Enough care will be taken to prevent any leakages /

accidental spillages from storage tank of generated

waste water from utilities in order to avoid any ground

water resource contamination.

Generated domestic waste water will be treated and

reused for green belt development.

The regular environment monitoring is done through

established laboratory and the same practice will be

4.5.2 Impact on Air Environment

For the control of air pollutants emitted from process gas emission from the proposed

production capacity and to meet with the prescribed norms, necessary Air Pollution Control

measures will be provided.

The details of proposed Air Pollution Control measures for process gas emission is shown at Table No.

4.2.

LDO will be used as fuel for the boiler for proposed manufacturing production capacity.

For the control of process gases emitted into the atmosphere from the proposed

manufacturing production capacity, scrubber will be provided.

Vehicular traffic associated with the construction as well as operation phase of the proposed

project for transportation of raw materials and finished products lead to increased concentration

of SPM, NOx, CO etc., through exhaust gases from their original concentration in the

surrounding environment, affecting the ambient air quality of surrounding areas. However, this

effect remains localized near to the plant site during the time of vehicular movement only. Increased

level of concentration associated with exhaust gases will return to its original state with the

passage of time. Hence, this impact is envisaged as short term negative and reversible in nature.



71

Air quality will deteriorate for small period of time, during transportation, loading & unloading of

various materials etc. This impact will be negative in nature for prevailing ambient air quality but it

will last for short period of time and will remain confined within the plant premises.

Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling of Stack Emissions

To evaluate the impact of emissions from the plant proposed stack on the baseline ambient air

quality of the study area, air pollution dispersion modelling has been carried out and described in the

following sub-sections:

For the purpose of modeling, the movement and dispersion of air emissions, the following potential

emissions from the construction/operational activities at the proposed site have been considered.

Construction Phase:

During the construction phase, SPM is expected to be the main pollutant associated with on-site roads

(paved and unpaved), stockpiles and material handling. In this case, pollution emission sources are

distributed throughout the project site and shall fall under the category of area source. The land

acquired is flat, so extensive formation work is not done during this phase. Surplus excavated material

shall be disposed to the approved dumping site.

Due to the confined nature of heavy construction activity during this limited period, tailpipe emissions

from construction equipment are assumed to be essentially negligible. In the absence of information

regarding the quantity and type of construction equipment to be deployed at any particular time,

emission factors for construction activities were used for emissions estimates. Overall SPM emissions

were estimated using the emission factor of 1.2 tons SPM/ month of activity/ acre as per AP-42

Section 13.2.3.3 (U.S. EPA, 1995). This emission factor is most useful for developing estimates of

overall emissions from construction throughout a geographical area and most applicable to

construction operations with medium activity level, moderate silt contents, and semiarid climate (U.S.

EPA, 1995). The derivation of the factor assumes that construction activity occurs 30 days per month,

for 24 hours making the above estimate somewhat conservatively high for total suspended particulate

(U.S. EPA, 1995).



72

The entire site will be developed in phase manner; therefore different section of the site will generate

SPM in a progressive manner. To achieve most conservative results, it has been assumed that the full

site is under construction activity, emitting particulates.

At the time of construction, by adopting control measures, dust generation can be brought

down by 85-95%. Thus, the dust emission factor given above has been reduced by 90% to arrive at the

expected emissions from the site due to construction activity.

Operation Phase:

Tools and Methods

The major sources of pollutant in the proposed project are point sources due to Stack and the DG sets

installed at the project. The vehicle pollutant dispersion analysis is undertaken based on AERMOD

(version 6.8.3) software. The software enables analysis with respect to CO, NO2 and PM and gives

results in easy to understand graphical format.

The following steps are involved in the analysis:

1. Inputs are entered into the software as per the general modeling parameters.

2. Information on the roadway network, traffic volume and receptor is added to the software.

3. The analysis process is done by the software

As part of precautionary measure, to minimize the likely environmental impacts on air

environment due to the proposed project, necessary mitigation measures are described below:

Table No. 4.3 Mitigative Measures for Air Environment


1. Air Handling of soils and construction materials will be

carefully managed to minimize the risk of wind-blown

material and dust.

For suppression of dust during required construction

activities, water will be sprinkled at regular interval.

The recovery of solvent is done through effective working

of solvent recovery system to maintain work area air

quality.

For the process area of proposed manufacturing capacity,

proper ventilation will be provided on the shop floor for

proper air circulation to maintain the work area air quality.

Proper preventive maintenance of fuel firing system will be

ensured.

Air - fuel ratio will be optimized

It will be ensured that the vehicles to be deployed at the

site should have PUC certification.

In addition to the above stated process controls, development of green belt will act as a pollutant



78

sink and can help to control the spread of pollution in the surrounding area. It will have positive

effect on the surrounding area. Unit can also participate in community green belt development

programs to compensate the adverse effects on the ambient air surrounding the plant site.

4.5.3 Impact on Land / Soil quality

The proposed production is to be carried out in a land area (@1974 m2 in notified Industrial Area.

Hence, there will not be any change in land use of the proposed project site. So, there is no impact

envisaged on existing land use pattern of the project site.

Solid waste generated from existing production activity will segregated properly. Biodegradable waste

will be sent for composting whereas Non-biodegradable waste will be sold outside. There will not be

any hazardous waste generated. Hence, no significant negative impact is envisaged on the

surrounding soil quality due to presence of solid / hazardous waste within the plant premises.

Necessary mitigation measures to minimize the likely environmental impacts on soil quality / land

environment due to operation of the proposed unit is described below:

Table No. 4.4 Mitigative Measures for Land/Soil Environment


1. Soil Quality & Land

Environment The practice of segregation and storage of solid waste

generated will be done for the proposed project.

Regular record keeping of volumes / weights of wastes

generated and disposed will be maintained for the

proposed project.

There will be no disposal of untreated water on land for

the proposed manufacturing activity.

4.5.4 Impact on Noise Environment

Vehicular movement for transportation of various raw materials and finished products is one of the

sources of noise generation during operation phase of the project. Noise generation associated with

vehicular movement within the plant premises will increase ambient noise levels for shorter

period of time and the negative impact generated due to this will get reversed with the passage of

time.

Because of proposed project, there will be increase in sources contributing to noise generation.



79

Necessary mitigation measures to minimize the likely environmental impacts on noise environment

due to operation of the proposed project is described below:

Table No. 4.5 Mitigative Measures for Noise Environment

Sr.No. Environmental

producing high noise levels, required for proposed expansion.

There will be periodical noise level measurements for verifying

compliance with relevant laws.

Workers exposed to high noise generating operations will be provided with

suitable ear protection devices.

Green belt development will act as a medium for noise absorbance.

4.5.5 Impact on Biological Environment

The proposed production is to be carried out in Notified Industrial Area. Hence, no significant

impact associated with displacement of prevailing floral & faunal species is envisaged on

surrounding biological environment due to proposed project activity.

There will not be any discharge of effluent from the proposed plant directly into any water body;

hence there will not be any impact on aquatic ecology of the surrounding area.

Air emissions generated within the plant premises will be always kept within the prescribed limit and



80

hence no significant impact on terrestrial ecology is expected. There will be development of green

space / green belt within the proposed plant premises, which leads to reversing the various negative

impacts associated with plant operation as well as it can also help develop terrestrial and avian

ecology with positive effect in the long run.

4.5.6 Impact on Socio-economic Environment

Unit will provide employment opportunity to locally available skilled and un-skilled labours within its

manufacturing facility as per the requirement and availability, which is a positive impact on

prevailing socio-economic environment.

Impact in terms of displacement of habitation and settlements due to the proposed project is

totally absent as the unit is to be located within notified industrial area.

Increased vehicular movement associated with the project operation phase will have short

term negative impact on noise and air environment surrounding the plant site.

No loss or disturbance of any historic and cultural heritage is associated with the

proposed project.

Proposed project will provide the surrounding region business potential as well as

subsequent employment opportunities.

Existence of proposed project will lead to increase in the job opportunities for the

qualified and skilled as well as unqualified and unskilled people in project region.

At a large this industrial development along with employment potential poses long-term positive

impact on the socio-economic environment as it provides benefits in terms of economics to the

people employed with it.

4.5.6.1 Actions for Socio - Economic Environment

Locally available man-power will be employed by the management in the manufacturing

activity. A full-flagged emergency preparedness plan will be prepared to deal with fire fighting,

evacuation and local communication. Organization will provide basic amenities viz. safe drinking

water, sanitation facility & medical treatment for workers of the unit.



81

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Regular monitoring program of the environmental parameters is essential to take into account the

changes in the environment. The objective of environmental monitoring program is :

• to verify the results of the impact assessment study with regards to new development.

• to follow the evolution of parameters which have been identified as critical.

• to check the effectiveness of the environment management system in

operation.

• to confirm statutory compliance.

5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING & CONTROL

To implement midterm corrective measures as well as to achieve effective

implementation of the same, environment monitoring and control program is

essential. Regular monitoring of environmental parameters is of immense

importance to assess the status of environment during project operation. With the

knowledge of baseline environmental status, monitoring program will serve as a tool

to assess any deterioration in environmental conditions due to operation of the

project.

Generally the EIA study for any project is carried out over a short period of

time and the data generated cannot bring out all variations induced by natural or human

activities. Hence, regular monitoring program is essential to take into account the changes in the

environment quality.

Scope of the monitoring program generally focuses on various environmental

parameters viz., Air quality, Water quality, Noise, Soil characteristics, Ecology, Land

use pattern and socio-economic environment. For the proposed project, monitoring

of various environmental parameters will be required to assess proper functioning

and efficiency of all the proposed pollution control systems. For the proposed project,

monitoring activity is mainly envisaged for stack emissions to analyze the

performance of air pollution control system and to measure the prevailing noise levels due to plant

operation.

6. PROJECT BENEFITS

The scope and nature of the potential benefits varies between the construction phase

and the operational phase of the project. Potential project benefits such as improvement in

the physical infrastructure, social infrastructure, employment and other tangible benefits

related to these two phases of the project are discussed below.

6.1 IMPROVEMENT IN THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The project site is already located in a notified industrial area MIDC Butibori, Taluka:

Nagpur and is easily approachable by the adjacent MIDC road. So, as per availability of existing

physical infrastructure there are no need for any improvement in the physical infrastructure.

6.2 IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The basic requirement of the community needs will be strengthened by organizing healthcare

camp, educational facilities, skill training to the community, sports activities and other similar in

the area, which will help in uplifting the living standards of local communities. Due to the increase in

utilizing the local habitants there shall be significant changes in the socioeconomic scenario of the

area.

6.3 EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL- SKILLED; SEMI-SKILLED AND UNSKILLED.








6.4 OTHER TANGIBLE BENEFITS

Assessment of the potential socioeconomic benefits during construction

focused primarily on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies, and the

temporary increased demand for services related to the construction project like

food, housing, communications, law enforcement, medical care, local transportation

etc. Due to these, additional revenue to local suppliers for required products and



87

services related to the construction and operation phases of the project will generate.

Thus, construction activities will provide numerous new, although temporary, work opportunities

for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as contribute significantly to the local economy.

Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and other fees.

An added benefit to the proposed project will result in considerable growth of stimulating the

industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small and medium scale industries may be further

developed as a consequence.

7. RISK ASSESSMENT

7.1 INTRODUCTION

M/s. Jeevika Spakchem Pvt. Ltd., will be manufacturing Organic Chemicals i.e Esters, Surfactants /

Sulphosuccinates, Defoamers / Antifoamers and Emulsifying agents.

Hazard is defined as a chemical or physical conditions those have the potential for causing

damage to people, property or the environment. The potential hazards at the plant are

enumerated below:

Hazard identification is the first step in the risk analysis and entails the process of collecting

information on:

• the types and quantities of hazardous substances stored and handled,

• the location of storage tanks & other facilities,

• Potential hazards associated with the spillage and release of hazardous

chemicals.

7.2 QUANTITIES OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

Methanol is the only hazardous chemical stored at the plant. It is stored in tanks at isolated

storage area.

7.3 CHARACTERISTIC OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Methanol:- Methanol is a colorless liquid that boils at 64.96° C (148.93° F) and solidifies at -93.9° C (-

137° F). It forms explosive mixtures with air and burns with a non luminous flame. It is a violent

poison; many cases of blindness or death have been caused by drinking mixtures containing it.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) is enclosed as Annexure-II.

7.4 HAZARDS FROM STORAGE AND HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

Pool Fire:

A leak or spill of sufficient size of flammable liquid will result in an accumulation of flammable

liquid on the ground or in bund or dyke. If ignited, the resulting fire is known as spreading or fixed

pool fire. Objects coming in contact with the flame above the pool will be severely damaged or

destroyed and personnel exposed to flame will suffer extensive burn injuries. Objects and

personnel outside the actual flame volume may also be affected or injured by radiant heat.

The extent of damage or injury depends on the heat flux and duration of fire and exposure. If a

large area of the body receives second and third degree burns, it can result in fatalities.



89

The extent of injury to people depends on the heat flux and duration of exposure. The extent of

damage to property or environment depends on the size of the pool and the duration of fire.

Vapour Cloud Explosion :

If released flammable vapour are not ignited immediately, the cloud of

vapour will spread in the surrounding area. As long as the concentration of

vapour is between the lower and upper flammability limits, the vapour cloud

may be set on fire by an ignition source. For generation of over pressure

effect, some degree of confinement of the flammable cloud is required.

Flash Fire :

When released quantities of flammable vapours are not ignited

immediately, vapour cloud of flammable vapours spreads in the surrounding area, some amount of

flammable vapours concentration will be between the

lower and upper flammable limits, the vapour cloud may be set on fire by an

ignition source in entire length of flammable vapour cloud resulting flash fire.

In the event of flash fire, essentially, no over pressure effect is occurred.

7.5 HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

As a result of release of flammable liquid followed by immediate or delayed ignition,

following hazardous conditions may be encountered at and surrounding the plant.

Thermal Effects :

In case of pool fire, thermal effect is likely to cause injury or damage to people and objects. A

substantial body of experimental data exists and forms the basis for thermal effect estimation. The

consequence caused by exposure to heat radiation is a function of:

• Radiation energy onto the human body [kW/m2];

• Exposure duration [s];

• Protection of the skin tissue (clothed or naked body).

Delayed Ignition & Explosion :

In case of delayed ignition of flammable inventories, two physical effects may occur in following

ways:



90

• Flash fire over the whole length of vapour cloud;

• Vapour cloud explosion that results in blast wave with typical peak overpressures

in circle around the ignition source. For vapour cloud explosion some degree of confinement

essential.

7.6 RISK MITIGATION MEASURES :

For risk mitigation / reduction, attempts should be made to either reduce inventories that could

get released in the event of loss of containment or failure likelihood’s or both as feasible. Risk analysis

identifies the major risk contributors, which enables prioritization of the plant that deserve special

attention in terms of inspection and maintenance in particular and over all safety management as a

whole.

For the risk reduction at the plant, the following salient suggestions and recommendations are made:

• Emergency response plan should be prepared and circulated to concern persons.

• Personnel at the proposed plant and public in surrounding area should be made aware about

the hazardous substance stored at the plant and risk associated with them.

31.78-105 mg/L.

2.6 FLORA AND FAUNA

An ecological survey was conducted in and around a proposed site at MIDC Butibori. The study area

was a 10 km radius around the proposed site. The general topography of the area is gradually

undulating to flat. Most of the area were bare or with very scanty vegetation. There are three

Reserve Forest coming in the study area. Bid Sukali RF, Junapani RF and Angoli RF. Most of the area

were bare or with very scanty vegetation. The Reserve Forests occurring in this area are dry

deciduous forest. Most of the Reserved Forests are mostly invaded by Acacia catechu and open

places. The ecological studies were conducted to understand terrestrial ecosystems around the

proposed site

2.6.1 Flora

The survey has resulted in documenting 112 plant species. The list of the plants is given in theEIA

report. The land use in the area is agriculture with crop like Wheat (Triticum aestivum),Cotton

(Gossypium hirsutm). The farms are interspersed with human habitation, i.e. villages. The vegetation

in the surrounding was natural.

2.6.2 Fauna

The records for the birds, mammals and other faunal groups were made at the same site where

vegetation sampling was carried out. Most of the records of the mammalian and reptilian fauna are

opportunistic, nonetheless very useful to understand habitat specificity and interrelationship

between certain floral and faunal elements and also between certain geological and faunal features.

2.7 DEMOGRAPHY AND SOCIO - ECONOMIC PROFILE

The significant observations are as follows:

The total population of the villages surveyed is 66257

The ratio of Female/Male is 877/1000 for the villages surveyed as compared to the national average

of 933/1000 which is very low.

Literacy level among the respondent is satisfactory as the educational facilities are adequate in the

villages surveyed. The literacy rate is 65%.

The percentage of scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) population is 13.9% and 16.91%

respectively in the study area.

The employment rate is 34.67% & marginal workers are 10.%.

Major air pollution source will be due to stack emissions within the project site. There will be only

one stack provided i.e. for boilers. The fuel used in boiler is LDO. Whereas for the DG set Dieselis

been used. The major pollutant from stack emissions are expected to be Particulates, NOx, CO, Sox.

3.1.4 Noise Pollution & Control Measures

During the operation, major sources of noise pollution are expected to be from machinery.

The machinery and techniques used for manufacturing process would be such that there is no

nuisance of noise in the surrounding region.


11

The D.G. Sets will be only used in case of emergency. Proper acoustic enclosures will be provided for

avoiding any noise problem.

The expected noise level from proposed project would be much less than the statutory requirement,

i.e. less than 75 dB (A) during day time and less than 70 dB (A) during night time.

Methanol

3. Hazards Identification

Routes of Entry:

Skin Contact: Moderate Eye Contact: Moderate Ingestion: Major Inhalation: Major

Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure:

Inhalation: Inhalation of high airborne concentrations can also irriate mucous membranes, causeheadaches, sleepiness, nausea, confusion, loss of consciousness, digestive and visual disturbances and even death. NOTE: Odour threshhold of methanol is several times higher thanthe TLV-TWA. Depending upon severity of poisoning and the promptness of treatment, survivors may recover completely or may have permanent blindness, vision disturbances and/or nervoussystem effects. Concentrations in air exceeding 1000 ppm may cause irritation of the mucousmembranes.

Skin Contact: Methanol is moderately irritating to the skin. Methanol can be absorbed throughthe skin and harmful effects have been reported by this route of entry. Effects are simialr to those described in “Inhalation”

Eye Contact: Methanol is a mild to moderate eye irritant. High vapour concentration or liquid contact with eyes causes irritation, tearing and burning.

Ingestion: Swallowing even small amounts of methanol could potentially cause blindness or death. Effects of sub lethal doses may be nausea, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting and visualdisturbances ranging from blurred vision to light sensitivity.

Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure: Repeated exposure by inhalation or absorption maycause systemic poisoning, brain disorders, impaired vision and blindness. Inhalation may worsen conditions such as emphysema or bronchitis. Repeated skin contact may cause dermal irritation,dryness and cracking.

Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Emphysema or bronchitis.

4. First Aid Measures

Note: Emergency assistance may also be available from the local poison control centre.

Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses if worn. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes withplenty of clean running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelidsoccasionally. Obtain medical attention.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, remove contaminated clothing. In a shower, wash affectedareas with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs orpersists. Wash clothing before reuse.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, restore or assist breathing if necessary. Obtain medical attention.

Ingestion: Swallowing methanol is potentially life threatening. Onset of symptoms may be delayed for 18 to 24 hours after digestion. If conscious and medical aid is not immediately


Methanol

available, do not induce vomiting. In actual or suspected cases of ingestion, transport to medicalfacility immediately.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Acute exposure to methanol, either through ingestion or breathing highairborne concentrations can result in symptoms appearing between 40 minutes and 72 hoursafter exposure. Symptoms and signs are usually limited to CNS, eyes and gastrointestinal tract.Because of the initial CNS’s effects of headache, vertigo, lethargy and confusion, there may be an impression of ethanol intoxication. Blurred vision, decreased acuity and photophobia are common complaints. Treatment with ipecac or lavage is indicated in any patient presenting withintwo hours of ingestion. A profound metabolic acidosis occurs in severe poisoning and serumbicarbonate levels are a more accurate measure of severity than serum methanol levels.Treatment protocols are available from most major hospitals and early collaboration with appropriate hospitals is recommended.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash point: 11oC (TCC)

Autoignition temperature: 385oC (NFPA 1978), 470

oC (Kirk-Othmer 1981;

Ullmann 1975)Lower Explosive Limit: 6% (NFPA, 1978)Upper Explosion Limit: 36% (NFPA, 1978), 36.5% (Ullmann, 1975)Sensitivity to Impact: Low

Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Low

Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic gases and vapours; oxides of carbon andformaldehyde.

Extinguishing Media: Small fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray Large fires: Water spray, AFFF(R) (Aqueous Film Forming Foam (alcoholresistant)) type with either a 3% or 6% foam proportioning system.

Fire Fighting Instructions: Methanol burns with a clean clear flame that is almost invisible in daylight. Stay upwind! Isolate and restrict area access. Concentrations of greater that 25% methanol in water can be ignited. Use fine water spray or fog to control fire spread and cooladjacent structures or containers. Contain fire control water for later disposal. Fire fighters mustwear full face, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or airline and appropriateprotective clothing. Protective fire fighting structural clothing is not effective protection frommethanol. Do not walk through spilled product.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) HAZARD INDEX:

HEALTH: 1

FLAMMABILITY: 3

REACTIVITY: 0

6. Accidental Release Measures

Overview: Flammable liquid which can burn without a visible flame. Release can cause animmediate risk of fire and explosion. Eliminate all ignition sources, stop leak and use absorbentmaterials. If necessary, contain spill by diking. Fluorocarbon alcohol resistant foams may be applied to spill to diminish vapour and fire hazard. Maximize methanol recovery for recycling orre-use. Restrict access to area until completion of cleanup. Ensure cleanup is conducted by


Methanol

trained personnel only. Wear adequate personal protection and remove all sources of ignition.Notify all governmental agencies as required by law.

Personal Protection: Full face, positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or airline,and protective clothing must be worn. Protective fire fighting structural clothing is not effective protection from methanol.

Environmental Precautions: Biodegrades easily in water Methanol in fresh or salt water mayhave serious effects on aquatic life. A study on methanol’s toxic efffects on sewage sludge bacteria reported little effect on digestion at 0.1% while 0.5% methanol retarded digestion.Methanol will be broken down to carbon dioxide and water.

Remedial Measures: Flammable liquid. Release can cause an immediate fire/explosion hazard.Eliminate all sources of ignition, stop leak and use absorbent materials. Collect liquid with explosion proof pumps. Do not walk through spill product as it may be on fire and not visible.

Large Spills: If necessary, contain spill by diking. Fluorocarbon alcohol resistant foams may beapplied to spill to diminish vapour and fire hazard. Maximize methanol recovery for recycling orreuse. Collect liquid with explosion proof pumps.

Small Spills: Soak up spill with non-combustible absorbent material. Recover methanol and dilutewith water to reduce fire hazard. Prevent spilled methanol from entering sewers, confined spaces,drains, or waterways. Restict access to unprotected personnel. Full. Put material in suitable,covered, labeled containers. Flush area with water.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling Procedures: No smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. Use explosion proof electrical equipment. Ensure proper electrical grouding procedures are in place.

Storage: Store in totally enclosed equipment, designed to avoid ignition and human contact.Tanks must be grounded, vented, and should have vapour emission controls. Tanks must be diked. Avoid storage with incompatible materials. Anhydrous methanol is non-corrosive to mostmetals at ambient temperatures except for lead, nickel, monel, cast iron and high silicon iron. Coatings of copper (or copper alloys), zinc (including galvanized steel), or aluminum are unsuitable for storage. These materials may be attacked slowly by the methanol. Storage tanks of welded construction are normally satisfactory. They should be designed and built in conformancewith good engineering practice for the material being stored. While plastics can be used for short term storage, they are generally not recommended for long-term storage due to deteriorationeffects and the subsequent risk of contamination.

Corrosion rates for several construction materials:

<0.508 mm/year Cast iron, monel, lead, nickel <0.051 mm/year High silicon iron Some attack PolyethyleneSatisfactory Neoprene, phenolic resins, polyesters, natural rubber, butyl rubberResistant Polyvinyl chloride, unplasticized

8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: In confined areas, local and general ventilation should be provided to maintain airborne concentrations beloew permissable exposure limits. Ventilation systems must be designed according to approved engineering standards.


Methanol

Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved supplied air respirator when airborne concentrationsexceed exposure limits.

Skin protection: Butyl and nitrile rubbers are recommended for gloves. Check with manufacturer. Wear chemical resistant pants and jackets, preferably of butyl or nitrile rubber.Check with manufacturer.

Eye and Face Protection: Face shield and chemical splash goggles when transferring is taking place.

Footwear: Chemical resistant, and as specified by the workplace.

Other: Eyewash and showers should be located near work areas. NOTE: PPE must not be considered a long-term solution to exposure control. PPE usage must be accompanied by employer programs to properly select, maintain, clean, fit and use. Consult a competent industrialhygiene resource to determine hazard potential and/or the PPE manufacturers to ensure aadequate protection.
