Sewage Treatment Plant Details
The sewage treatment plant consists of pre treatment, secondary treatment (MBBR) and tertiary
treatment of activated carbon/sand filter and disinfection.
Pre-treatment consists of separation of floating and suspended organic and inorganic material by
physical process such as (a) screening by which materials larger in size than the openings of the
screening device is strained out, and (b) grit removal by which coarse particles of ash and other
inert material which have subsidence velocities substantially greater than those of organic
putrescible solids are removed. The secondary treatment consists of Moving Bed Biofilm
Membrane Reactor (MBBR). The MBBR is combination of both suspended growth and attached
growth systems.
When communities of microorganisms grow on surfaces, they are called biofilms. Microorganisms
in a biofilm wastewater treatment process are more resilient to process disturbances compared to
other types of biological treatment processes. Thus, biofilm wastewater treatment technologies are
considerably more robust especially when compared to conventional technologies like activated
sludge.
In the MBBR biofilm technology the biofilm grows protected within engineered plastic carriers,
which are carefully designed with high internal surface area. These biofilm carriers are suspended
and thoroughly mixed throughout the water phase. With this technology it is possible to handle
extremely high loading conditions without any problems of clogging, and treat industrial and
municipal wastewater on a relatively small footprint.
The MBBR biofilm technology is efficient, compact and easy to operate. It can be an excellent
solution as a stand-alone process. The MBBR biofilm technology is based on specially designed
plastic biofilm carriers or biocarriers that are suspended and in continuous movement within a
tank or reactor of specified volume. The design of associated aerators, grids, sieves, spray nozzles
and other integral parts to the reactor is also of great importance in making up the system as a
whole.
The domestic sewage is led to the MBBR treatment reactor where biofilm, growing within the
internal structures of the biocarriers, degrade the pollutants. These pollutants that need to be
removed in order to treat the wastewater are food or substrate for growth of the biofilm. The
biocarrier design is critical due to requirements for good mass transfer of substrate and oxygen to
the microorganisms. An aeration grid located at the bottom of the reactor supplies oxygen to the
biofilm along with the mixing energy required to keep the biocarriers suspended and completely
mix within the reactor.

Treated water flows from reactor through a grid or a sieve, which retains the MBBR bio-carriers in
the reactor. Depending on the wastewater, the reactors are may be equipped with special spray
nozzles that prevent excessive foam formation.
The biologically treated water will be finally treated in activated carbon/sand filter and part of the
treated water reused after disinfection and part is discharged into the public sewers.
The sludge from anaerobic sludge digester is sent to filter press, and the sludge from here sent to
greenbelt.

Rain water harvesting details
All along the road network of the proposed project, storm water drains would be provided to
collect water during rains. They would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site. It is
proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top rainwater and rain water
of paved surface at respective apartment and villas. Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be
provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit. Overflow from the harvesting pit and storm water
of road / open space will be collected through road side storm water drains. For better infiltration
of rainwater into ground, storm water drains will be provided with check dams at every 100m. The
storm water drains are connected to nearby natural drain.
The details of rainwater harvesting calculation are given in below:
The rainwater harvesting pits will be provided adjacent apartment blocks and villas, so that the
roof water can be directly sent to nearest Rainwater harvesting pit. The excess water if any from
the rainwater harvesting pits is diverted to storm water drains.

Management Plan for Greenbelt Development
In construction projects the plants and the natural vegetation of the construction site is going to be
severely damaged, however in the present case only small bushes are present, no major trees or
vegetation is present. Hence, there are no chances of losing any valuable biodiversity. When the
construction project is fully developed over a period of few years, lots of greenery comes up in the
form of avenue trees, ornamentals, fruit trees and lawns. As a result, the loss of carbon
sequestration capacity due to the loss of few bushes 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 trees proposed to be included for the development of parks, green
belt and avenue plantations are given in Table below:
Shrubs are usually woody or semi-woody perennial plants, their branches arise from the base of
the plants and grow up to the height of 3 to 4 m. Many shrubs, which are more or less prostrate,
make excellence ground flower. Availability of a large no of species & cultivars, a wide range of
variation in shape & size of the plants, diversified types of leaves & growth habit, remarkable
ranges of size, shape & colour of flower and the variety of fragrance have made the shrubs as
important garden plants. Several species of shrubs have usually attractive colors.
Most of the shrubs are hardy & grow in all types of soil with little attention. Although some plants
flower almost throughout the year, in most cases they are seasonal. A selection can be made in
such a way that some plants in the shrubbery will be in bloom in any season of the year. Some of
them are sweet scented. Most of these plants are fairly quick growing and when vegetatively
propagated, start flowering in the first year.
Shrubs are classified into three groups according to the requirement of the sunlight for growth and
flowering
Show normal growth & flowering in full sun
Grow only in partial shade
Grow well in both in sun and semi shady condition
Before planting shrubs, location and size of the plants should be considered. Plant them in a place
where they should not obstruct other flowerbeds, plants, etc., though we can prune them but
carefully think about the size when they will be fully grown so that they should not towered over
other plants.

Planting stocks are readily available from the social 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 man power for development and
maintenance are provided in the plan. The Greenbelt layout plan is given in Figure below:

Conclusion & Recommendation
A. FOR Seven Storied Building:
BH-1,BH-2,BH-5,BH-6,BH-9,BH-13,BH-17,BH-18,BH-19,BH-20,BH-22,BH-23,BH-24 & BH-25:
From the sub-soil profile as per bore logs, site observation & test results of the sub-soil strata at the
proposed project site it is concluded that
1. A high expansive clay strata is present from existing G.L. to 6.0m depth in BH-1, BH-2, BH-5,
BH-22 & BH-23 whereas in BH-6, BH-9, BH-13, BH-17, BH-19, BH-20 & BH-25 this expansive
clay strata is existing upto 4.5m depth below the existing G.L., but in case of BH-18 & BH24 the
expansive clay strata is existing upto 9.0m depth.
2. The ground water table is found at 1.0m to 1.5m depth below the existing G.L.
3. In this site, it is proposed to build the 7 storied building with a single basement. The basement
floor may be kept at 3.0m to 3.5m depth below the existing G.L.
4. For all practical purposes the lowest SBP (Safe bearing pressure for 40mm settlement) value
evaluated from the bore holes correspond to each structure may be adopted for design purposes.
5. Special arrangement may be adopted to pump out the ground water during excavation.
6. Type of footing will depend on the loading pattern of the structure. Provision of mat foundation
will be more appropriate from SBC consideration as well as checking seepage of ground water for
a building with single basement floor.
B. For two Storied Building:
a. BH-4, BH-8 & BH-10:
From the sub-soil profile as per bore logs, site observation & test results of the sub-soil strata at the
proposed project site it is concluded that
A moderate expansive clay strata is present from existing G.L. to 6.0m depth (max. depth of
explored).
The ground water table is found at 1.0m to 1.5m depth below the existing G.L.
In this site, it is proposed to build the 2 storied building without basement.
The foundation (isolated/combined footing) may be kept at 2.0m depth considering the lowest
SBP (Safe bearing pressure for 40mm settlement) value evaluated from the bore holes
correspond to each structure may be adopted for design purposes.
b. BH-3, BH-7, BH-11, BH-12, BH-14, BH-15, BH-16 & BH-21:
From the sub-soil profile as per bore logs, site observation & test results of the sub-soil strata at the
proposed project site it is concluded that
1. In BH-3 a high expansive clay strata is present from existing G.L. to 3.0m depth whereas in
BH-11, BH-12, BH-14, BH-15, BH-16 & BH-21 this expansive clay strata is present upto
4.5m depth. But in BH-7 high expansive clay strata is present upto 6.0m depth below the
existing G.L.

2. Similarly, here the ground water table is found at 1.0m to 1.5m depth below the existing G.L.
3. In this site also it is proposed to build the 2 storied building without basement.
4. The foundation (isolated/combined footing) may be kept at 2.0m depth considering the lowest
SBP (Safe bearing pressure for 40mm settlement) value evaluated from the bore holes
correspond to each structure may be adopted for design purposes, but the following
precaution should be adopted during the construction of building
a. In the location of BH-3: The foundation should be excavated upto 3.0m depth below the
existing G.L... Then filled the foundation pits upto 2.0m depth by saturated coarse sand. Then
place the foundation on this saturated coarse sand at 2.0m depth. Here care may be taken that
the foundation should not be come in contact with the virgin soil.
b. In the location of BH-11, BH-12, BH-14, BH-15, BH-16 & BH-21: Similarly in these
locations, the foundation should be excavated upto 4.5m depth below the existing G.L. Then
filled the foundation pits upto 2.0m depth by saturated coarse sand. Then place the foundation
on this saturated coarse sand at 2.0m depth. Here care may be taken that the foundation
should not be come in contact with the virgin soil.
c. In the location of BH-7: In this location, the foundation should be excavated upto 6.0m
depth below the existing G.L. Then filled the foundation pits upto 2.0m depth by saturated
coarse sand. Then place the foundation on this saturated coarse sand at 2.0m depth. Here care
may be taken that the foundation should not be come in contact with the virgin soil. Or Bore
cast insitu under reamed piles (short piles) may be adopted at the location of BH-7 for the
design of the foundation of structure.
Note:
However, foundation type will be decided by the structural engineer based on the loading
transmitted to the ground.
This general recommendation is not structure-specific and the designer is therefore at
liberty to decide the depth and other parameters basing on the sub-soil characteristics
made available in this report and the type of foundation intended.
There should be sufficient gap in between two adjacent footings to avoid over stress.

Sewage Treatment Plant Details- 750 KLD
The sewage treatment plant consists of pre treatment, secondary treatment (MBBR) and tertiary
treatment of activated carbon/sand filter and disinfection.
Pre-treatment consists of separation of floating and suspended organic and inorganic material by
physical process such as (a) screening by which materials larger in size than the openings of the
screening device is strained out, and (b) grit removal by which coarse particles of ash and other
inert material which have subsidence velocities substantially greater than those of organic
putrescible solids are removed.
The secondary treatment consists of Moving Bed Biofilm Membrane Reactor (MBBR). The
MBBR is combination of both suspended growth and attached growth systems. When
communities of microorganisms grow on surfaces, they are called biofilms. Microorganisms in a
biofilm wastewater treatment process are more resilient to process disturbances compared to other
types of biological treatment processes. Thus, biofilm wastewater treatment technologies are
considerably more robust especially when compared to conventional technologies like activated
sludge.
In the MBBR biofilm technology the biofilm grows protected within engineered plastic carriers,
which are carefully designed with high internal surface area. These biofilm carriers are suspended
and thoroughly mixed throughout the water phase. With this technology it is possible to handle
extremely high loading conditions without any problems of clogging, and treat industrial and
municipal wastewater on a relatively small footprint.
The MBBR biofilm technology is efficient, compact and easy to operate. It can be an excellent
solution as a stand-alone process.
The MBBR biofilm technology is based on specially designed plastic biofilm carriers or
biocarriers that are suspended and in continuous movement within a tank or reactor of specified
volume. The design of associated aerators, grids, sieves, spray nozzles and other integral parts to
the reactor is also of great importance in making up the system as a whole.
The domestic sewage is led to the MBBR treatment reactor where biofilm, growing within the
internal structures of the biocarriers, degrade the pollutants. These pollutants that need to be
removed in order to treat the wastewater are food or substrate for growth of the biofilm. The
biocarrier design is critical due to requirements for good mass transfer of substrate and oxygen to
the microorganisms.
An aeration grid located at the bottom of the reactor supplies oxygen to the biofilm along with the
mixing energy required to keep the biocarriers suspended and completely mix within the reactor.
Treated water flows from reactor through a grid or a sieve, which retains the MBBR biocarriers in
the reactor. Depending on the wastewater, the reactors are may be equipped with special spray
nozzles that prevent excessive foam formation.
The biologically treated water will be finally treated in activated carbon/sand filter and part of the
treated water reused after disinfection and part is discharged into the public sewers.
The sludge from anaerobic sludge digester is sent to filter press, and the sludge from here sent to
greenbelt.

Details of the Building Material
Building Materials
The building materials chosen for the proposed project are as per the recommendations of
the climatic standards.
To achieve the maximum energy value, a balance between the availability of building
materials locally and skilled labourers will be achieved.
Burnt brickwork with fly ash for the walling and plastering reduces the thermal
penetration by 20-30%.
The RCC roof is covered with Brickbat concrete and terracotta weather tiles, which
reduces the heat penetration by 18%.
Annexure 12
Energy Saving-Glass Characteristics/ Low-E Glazing
Low-e glass
Low-emission glass (Low-E) is a clear glass; it has a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide,
when the glass leaves the tin bath (at 650°C). This allows the sun's heat and light to pass through
the glass into the building. At the same time it blocks heat from leaving the room, reducing heat
loss considerably. This is a clear glass which has received, on one of its faces, a silver coating
applied by magnetically-enhanced cathodic sputtering. This type of Low-E must be used
exclusively in insulating glass, with the coating on an internal face. It can be tempered and
laminated.
How Low-E Glass Works
In the winter, Low-E Glass is designed to work in two ways: First, it transmits the sun's short-wave
energy. This means it allows the sun's energy (which provides visible light and invisible heat) in
through the windows, which helps heat a home in winter. Second, once the sun's heat is inside a
home, the coating works to reduce the amount of heat transferred through the glass to the colder
exterior. As a result, less of this heat, as well as the heat produced by a furnace, is transmitted back
through the glass to the outside, helping to reduce heating bills in winter.
In the summer, heat enters a house through ordinary clear glass to the cooler interior. This happens
in two ways: first, through direct short-wave sunlight; and second, by long-wave radiation
generated by sidewalks, drive ways, and other elements which have absorbed heat from the sun.
Low-E Glass effectively reduces this unwanted radiant heat gain by reflecting a significant portion
of long-wave radiation back to the outside, helping to keep homes cooler and reduce cooling costs
in summer.
Reduction of Heat Loss in winter
Low-E Glass reduces heat loss to the cold outdoors by dramatically reducing radiant heat transfer
and actually reflecting interior heat back into the room.

A Source of Free Energy In addition to its low U-value, Low-E Glass has a high shading coefficient. Compared to other
low-E glass products with lower shading coefficients, Low-E Glass allows more of the sun's rays
to enter a home as solar energy to be converted into usable heat in winter.
Reduced Heat Gain in summer
The same effect of keeping interior heat inside in the winter helps reduce the flow of hot outside
air into the cooler interior in summer.
Lower Utility Bills
The bottom line is that Low-E Glass helps reduce the number of heating and cooling BTUs needed
to keep a house at a comfortable temperature. That means furnace and air-conditioning systems
work less, and that can add up to significant energy savings.
Reduction of UV Rays
Low-E Glass significantly reduces transmission of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, one of the
leading causes of premature fading and degradation of fabrics, upholstery and carpeting.
Comfort
Consumers want comfort and savings. No one enjoys sitting near a cold, drafty window in winter.
Low-E Glass works to raise the inside glass surface temperature in winter, to help minimize cold
spots and keep homeowners more comfortable.
Larger Window Areas
Because Low-E Glass is an energy-efficient, high performance glass, architects, builders, and
homeowners have the freedom to incorporate larger window and glass areas in their designs,
without the resulting excessive energy costs.
Appearance
Today’s Low-E Glass is color-neutral. Homeowners can enjoy the great looks as well as the great
performance of windows made with Low-E Glass.
Low E Terminology. With Low E, solar selective Low E, hard-coat, soft-coat, sputtered, and
pyrolytic terminology to deal with, you need the facts on Low E.

3.0 Introduction
Baseline environmental status in and around proposed project site depicts the existing
environmental conditions of air, noise, water, soil, biological and socio-economic environment.
With proposed project as the center, a radial distance of 10 Km is considered as ‘study area’ for
baseline data collection. Baseline data was collected for various/environmental attributes so as to
compute the impacts that are likely to arise due to proposed developmental activity.
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.
3.1 Site Descriptions and Environs
The proposed project lies in between Latitude 17043’20.2” to 17
043’32.4”N Longitude 83
011’39.8
to 83011’54.2”E.The site is located at Narava (V), Jaggayyapalem (M), Visakhapatnam District.
The Visakhapatnam District is one of the North Eastern Coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. It is
bounded on the North partly by the Orissa State and Partly by Vizianagaram District, on the South
by East Godavari District, on the West by Orissa State and on the East by Bay of Bengal. The
nearest airport is Visakhapatnam Airport 2.7 Km E. The nearest railway station is Simhachalam
Rly Station 3.5 km, N.
The study area map showing Air, Water, Noise & Soil sampling locations is shown in Figure
3.1.2.
3.2 Climate Conditions
Visakhapatnam experiences a tropical climate with little variation in temperature through the year.

As the city is located on the Bay of Bengal, the humidity remains high throughout the year. The
total annual rainfall is around 945 mm, the bulk of which is received during the South-west
monsoon. October is the wettest month with around 204 mm of rainfall.
3.3 Meteorology
The study of meteorological conditions forms an intrinsic part of the environment impact
assessment study. The meteorological conditions of an area and the project activities are both
intertwined and each has a definite influence over the other. Favorable weather conditions and
normal surroundings help the successful running of tourism project, while the tourism activity
influences the environment in both positive as well as negative ways.
Dispersion of different air pollutants released in to 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

Based on the meteorological data wind roses, the diagram 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 (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW,
SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, and NNW) have been drawn for 01-24 hours.
Overall wind pattern in the study area is assessed using the IMD data. It is observed that air masses
flow from the NW. In general serious pollution episodes are not directly caused by sudden increase
in the emission of pollutants but result from unfavorable meteorological conditions. These
unfavorable conditions may reduce the ability of the atmosphere to disperse pollutants, transport
pollutants from other areas or may be combination of both situations.
The frequency occurrence of wind in various speed categories was calculated on the basis of total
number of observations recorded in that particular wind speed category during the study period
and given in Table 3.3.1, and the wind rose is shown in Figure 3.3.1.
A glance at the wind rose diagram reveals that the most dominant wind direction is SW with a
percentage frequency recording of 14.99% of the total time followed by 11.32 % in S direction and
9% in SSW direction respectively. Calm conditions prevailed for about 12.45% of the total time.
Most of the time the wind was blowing with an average speed of 2.55 m/sec.

3.4.1 Regional Scenario
3.4.1.1 Particulate Matter
Particulate Matter (PM) particles originate from a variety of sources, such as power plants,
industrial processes, and diesel trucks, and they are formed in the atmosphere by transformation of
gaseous emissions. Their chemical and physical compositions depending on the location, time of
year weather. Particulate matter is composed of both coarse and fine particles.

Page: 3.6
Coarse particles (PM10) have an aerodynamic diameter between 2.5µ and 10µ. They are formed by
mechanical disruption (e.g. crushing, grinding, and abrasion of surfaces) evaporation of sprays,
and suspension of dust. PM10 is composed of alumiosilicate and other oxides of crustal elements,
and major sources including fugitive dust from roads, industry, agriculture, construction and
demolition, and fly ash from fossil fuel combustion. The lifetime of PM10 is from minutes to hours,
and its travel distance varies from <1Km to 10 Km.
Fine particles have an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5µ (PM2.5). They differ from PM10 in
origin and chemistry. These particles are formed from gas and condensation of high temperature
vapors during combustion, and they are composed of various combinations of sulfate compounds,
nitrate compounds, carbon compounds, ammonium, hydrogen ion, organic compounds, metals (Pb,
Cd, V, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe), and Particle bound water. The major sources of PM2.5 are fossil
fuel combustion, vegetation burning, and the smelting and processing of metals. Their lifetime is
from days to weeks and travel distance ranges from 100s to >1000s Km.
The minimum and maximum level of PM <2.5 µ recorded within the study area were in the range
of 18.3 to 27.1 µg/m3. The minimum and maximum level of PM <10µ recorded within the study
area were in the range of 44.8 to 58.8 µg/m3. The 24 hourly average values of PM <2.5µ & PM
<10µ were compared with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and found that all sampling
stations recorded values were within the applicable limits.
3.4.1.2 Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide gas is an inorganic gaseous pollutant. Sulfur dioxide emissions are expected to be
emitted wherever combustion of any fuel containing elemental sulfur takes place. The sulfur in the
fuel will combine with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. Sulfur trioxide and Sulfuric acid mist are the
other important pollutants in the sulfur group.
The minimum level of SO2 recorded in the study area was 10.5µg/m3 and maximum level recorded
was 18.6µg/m3. The 24 hourly average values of SO2 were compared with the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards and it was found that recorded values were lower than the applicable limit
i.e. 80µg/m3.
3.4.1.3 Oxides of Nitrogen
Oxides of nitrogen are also an inorganic gaseous pollutant. Oxides of nitrogen are expected to be
emitted at high temperatures. Nitrous oxide and Nitric acid mist are the other important pollutants
in the inorganic nitrogen group.
The minimum level of NOx recorded was 16.4µg/m3 and maximum level recorded was 24.1µg/m
3.
The 24 hourly average values of NOx were compared with the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards and it was found that recorded values lower than the applicable limit of 80µg/m3.
3.5 Water Environment
The study of water environment aspect in the ecosystem is to identify sensitive issues, and to take
preventive measures by maintaining ecological homeostasis in the early stages of development of
the project. Bore well and Well water samples were collected within the site for assessment of

3.6 Noise Environment
Noise can be defined as unwanted sound or sound in the wrong place at the wrong time. It can also
be defined as any sound that is undesirable because it interferes with speech and hearing, is intense
enough to damage hearing or is otherwise annoying. The definition noise as unwanted sound
implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment, including land,
structures, and domestic animals. Noise can also disturb natural wildlife and ecological systems.
Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids, and solids. Noise impacts can be of concern
during the construction and the operational phases of projects. Noise should also be considered in
relation to present and future land use zoning and policies.
Construction noise can be a significant source of community noise. Of concern are impacts on
people near the construction site, who are totally unrelated to construction activities. Factors
which are important in determining noise levels that will potentially impact such populations
include distance from the noise source, natural or man-made barriers between the source and the
impacted population, weather conditions which could potentially absorb, reflect, or focus sound
(such as wind speed, direction, temperature inversions), and the scale and intensity of the
particular construction phase (excavation, erection, or finishing). The Environment/health impacts
of noise can vary from noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of
noise levels and tolerance levels of individual. The main sources of noise in the study area are
domestic activities, commercial activities, and vehicular traffic.
Baseline noise levels have been monitored at different points within the study area using a noise
level meter. Five noise monitoring stations were identified for the assessment of the existing noise
levels keeping in view the nature of the monitoring location i.e. residential areas in villages,
schools, bus stations etc.
The distance and the direction of the noise monitoring locations with reference to the site are given
in the following table.

Baseline monitoring was carried out in all the surrounding villages of the study area for 24 hours
to study the impact of the noise on the local environment. The day levels have been monitored
between 6.00 AM to10.00 PM and the night levels have been monitored between 10.00 PM to 6.00
AM.

ranging from 42.1 to 54.6 dB (A), which can be taken as the existing baseline status. The day
equivalent values calculated considering the noise levels recorded from 6 AM to 10PM. Similarly,
night equivalent noise levels were calculated using the noise levels recorded from 10 PM to 6 AM.
From the results it can be seen that the Day equivalents and the Night equivalents were within the
Ambient Noise standards of residential areas.

3.8 Traffic Survey
A detailed traffic survey was conducted in the study area at major traffic intersections in order to
arrive at the traffic density in the study area and also to evaluate the impacts of the increased traffic
due to the proposed activity.
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.
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 volume count surveys have been conducted at One Location near the Proposed Project Site.
The traffic volume counts were conducted for 15 hours (from 7:00 am to 22:00 pm on the day) at
NH-5. Manual count method was adopted for vehicular counts. At every one hour interval, the
number and category of vehicles passing through each arm of the intersection were recorded in the
survey form.
As per the IRC: 106-1990 recommendations a 2 lane, 2 way road (Arterial road) can accommodate
1500 PCUs per hour. At NH-5(Gajuwaka to Airport Route) as per our traffic survey the no. of
PCUs expected during peak hour are 5156 PCUs and at Road connecting from NH-5 to site road
the no of PCUs expected during peak hour are 28.

4.0 Introduction
The purpose of the impact assessment study is to provide information on the nature and extent of
environmental impacts arising from the proposed project during construction and occupation. This
information shall contribute decisions on the following;
Overall acceptability of any adverse environmental consequences that are likely to arise as a
result of the proposed project.
Conditions and requirements for the detailed design, establishment and operation of the
proposed project to mitigate against adverse environmental consequences wherever practicable
and
Acceptability of minimized impacts after the proposed mitigation measures is implemented.
The environmental impact assessment of the proposed activity shall cover all developments within
the proposed project site and any other works associated with these developments outside the
project area. The impact prediction shall include specific impacts namely; air quality impact, water
pollution impacts, noise impacts, ecological impact and socio-economic impacts. The impact
assessment is carried out for the construction phase and operation phase.
4.1 Air Quality Impacts
An assessment of air quality impacts associated with the construction and occupation of the
proposed project is been carried out. Worst case impacts on the representative receivers have been
assessed. Three major sources of air pollution have been identified namely construction dust
emission, road traffic emissions and DG set emissions.
1. Construction Phase: Construction works include site clearance, site formation, building
works, infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure activities. The major air
pollution source during this activity is dust generation as a result of the above activities.
2. Occupation Phase: The major sources of air pollutants are the vehicle emissions from
traffic on roads internal and neighboring roads, air pollutants emitted from operation of
DG sets and other mechanical equipments used for day to day activities proposed at these
project.
The representative air sensitive receivers within the study area represent the future and existing
sensitive receivers likely to be affected by the project.
4.1.1 Construction Phase Impacts
The principal potential source of air quality impact arising during construction period is fugitive
dust generation. The dust, measurable as Total Suspended Particulate Matter and Respirable

Suspended Particulates would be generated as a result of construction activities. The construction
program of the project shall commence immediately after obtaining statutory clearances.
The potential dust sources associated with construction activities are loading and unloading of the
materials, top soil removal, travel over unpaved roads and wind erosion etc. The construction
works associated with the proposed development are broadly given below.
i. Site development and foundation works
ii. Dust generation due to vehicles bringing raw materials
iii. Un loading of raw materials, removal of un wanted waste material from site
iv. Civil constructions and provision of infrastructure required for various activities proposed
at each project.
Among all the construction activities, site formation has the highest potential for causing dust
nuisance to the nearby air sensitive locations. During the construction of the project, existing
houses nearby may be subject to the potential dust impacts.
4.1.2 Mitigation Measures proposed
For the proposed project, site leveling and grading will be carried out for construction apartments
and villas, where ever possible natural elevations will not be disturbed, only leveling activity will
be carried out for providing roads, sewage network, storm water system, and places required for
providing buildings According to the engineering assessment; most of the excavated material (for
providing basements) shall be reused within the project boundary, if any excess will be disposed
through local contractors for filling low lying areas or road laying purposes, etc. The movement of
cut and fill material will be limited. Broad estimation shows that there would not be more than 20
vehicles from the construction site within a day, since all the excavated material shall be reused at
the site itself.
Most of the construction dust will be generated from the movement of construction vehicles on
unpaved roads. Unloading of cement, sand, etc, and removal of soil material shall also act as a
potential source for dust nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below.
Regular water sprinkling on haul roads in the project area, this activity will be carried out
at least twice a day, if need arises frequency will be increased on windy days, in this way
around 50% reduction on the dust contribution from the exposed surface can be achieved.
The duration of stockpiling will be as short as possible as most of the material will be used
as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.
Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the site of dust
generation or all around the project site as barrier for dust control.
Tree plantations around the project boundary 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 / plastic sheet,
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.

To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighborhood the external
part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets
Vehicles having pollution under control certificate will be allowed.
Drivers of the Vehicles will be instructed to follow speed limits (<20 kmph), reducing the
speed of the vehicle will reduce generation of dust to large extent.
Speed limit boards will be displayed at entrance gate, speed breakers will be provided if
needed.
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.
4.1.3 Occupation Phase Impacts
As the proposed project being a construction project there are no major point source emissions like
industries. The major air pollutants associated with this project is from incoming and outgoing
vehicles and visitors. In addition to this the other source is use of DG set during power failure as
back up source for lighting and other emergency needs.
The use of DG set will be as minimum as possible as it is used during power failure as a backup.
The Details of the DG set stack height calculation, stack provided, pollutants expected is given in
Table 4.1.3 (A).

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the environmental impact assessment
studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of
developmental activities on ecological and socio-economic environments. Such predictions are
superimposed over the baseline status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate scenario of
environmental conditions. The prediction of impact helps to prepare the environmental management
plan required to be executed during the on-going activities for the project to minimize the adverse
impacts on environmental quality.

The mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe the cause-effect relationships
between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In case, mathematical models
are not available or it is not possible to identify/ validate a model for a particular situation, predictions
could be made through available scientific knowledge and judgments.
A) Details of Mathematical Modeling
An attempt has been made to predict impacts of the emissions on ambient air quality by means of air
quality simulation models. The ultimate step in such an approach is to run the available data through a
screening model where a rough computation of the worst case scenario is obtained. In the present case
computation of 24 hour average ground level concentrations were carried out using All Terrain
Dispersion Model (ATDM). ATDM is a Breeze Air product of Trinity Consultants, Texas. The model
is based on algorithms contained in two USEPA dispersion models, ISCST3 and COMPLEX1 and
also incorporates the procedure used in the POSTIT post processor to calculate concentrations in
intermediate terrain.
ATDM is based on Guassian dispersion which incorporates the Pasquile-Gifford (P-G) dispersion
parameter for estimating horizontal cross wind and vertical dispersion.
The All Terrain Dispersion Model (ATDM) is a hybrid Gaussian dispersion model that calculates
concentrations from point, area, and volume source emissions in simple, intermediate, and complex
terrain.
For receptors located in simple terrain (terrain below stack top) ATDM uses the dispersion
algorithms from the ISCST3 model.
For receptors located in complex terrain (terrain above plume centerline), ATDM uses the
dispersion algorithm from the COMPLEX1 model.
For receptors located in intermediate terrain, ATDM uses both the ISCST3 and the
COMPLEX1 algorithms to estimate the one hour average concentration at each receptor
location and reports the larger of the two values as the calculated concentration.
ATDM calculates the plume rise and plume centerline elevation for a given source to determine
whether a receptor is located in a simple, complex or intermediate terrain with respect to that source.
Depending on the terrain regime of the receptor, the model then uses one of the three approaches
described below to calculate the one-hour average concentration at that receptor resulting from the
emissions from the source.
b) Input data for the model
Modeling has been carried out for DG Set emissions based on the emission data given in Table
4.1.3(A) as a worst case to study the predicted increase in ground level concentrations due to the
proposed project. Not much of emissions are generated from DG Set as they are used only during
power failures.
c) Meteorological Data
For each hour the meteorological information fed into the model included the following:

4.2 Water Quality Impact Assessment
This section highlights the assessment of water quality impacts associated with the proposed
project. The assessment is based on the worst case scenario. The potential impacts during
construction and occupation phase are assessed and practical mitigation measures are
recommended.
4.2.1 Potential Impacts from Construction Activities
The proposed development will involve various construction activities. The following section
summarizes the activities likely to be undertaken during the proposed development and describes
the potential impacts on water quality from each activity.
i) Site formation
Preparation of designated area of land for subsequent development activities involves leveling of
the ground surface, removal of vegetation, stockpiling and generation of construction waste.
Construction of temporary infrastructure such as drainage culverts may be required. The site
formation may produce large quantities of run-off with high suspended solids loading in the
absence of appropriate mitigation measures. This potential problem may be aggravated during
rainy season.
ii) Construction of apartment and villas
In rainy season during the construction phase due to construction of various civil structures site
runoff results significant pollution in the receiving water bodies. And washing of various
construction equipments will also result in water pollution.
iii) Presence of workers
During construction, the work force on the site is estimated to be about 400 to 500 during peak
period, although the number may vary over the construction period. Impacts from the workers
include waste and wastewater generated from eating areas, and sewage from temporary sanitary
facilities. Sewage is characterized by high levels of BOD, ammonia and E.Coli. Significant water
quality impact will happen only if the sewage is discharged directly into the receiving waters
without any prior treatment.

Page: 4.9
4.2.2 Mitigation Measures during Construction
During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the site
gets collected to working pit and if any over flow is will be diverted to nearby greenbelt /
plantation area.
During construction activity all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to
arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for construction purposes,
and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc.
The waste generated from the site work shop 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.
The domestic wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the work force 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.
4.2.3 Potential Impacts from Occupation Phase
During this period only domestic sewage is the wastewater which requires treatment. The total
wastewater is collected in STP and treated to meet online discharge standards. Part of the treated
water is reused and part is discharged into public sewers.

The sewage treatment plant consists of pre treatment, secondary treatment (MBBR) and tertiary
treatment of activated carbon/sand filter and disinfection.
Pre-treatment consists of separation of floating and suspended organic and inorganic material by
physical process such as (a) screening by which materials larger in size than the openings of the
screening device is strained out, and (b) grit removal by which coarse particles of ash and other
inert material which have subsidence velocities substantially greater than those of organic
putrescible solids are removed.
The secondary treatment consists of Moving Bed Biofilm Membrane Reactor (MBBR). The
MBBR is combination of both suspended growth and attached growth systems.
When communities of microorganisms grow on surfaces, they are called biofilms. Microorganisms
in a biofilm wastewater treatment process are more resilient to process disturbances compared to
other types of biological treatment processes. Thus, biofilm wastewater treatment technologies are
considerably more robust especially when compared to conventional technologies like activated
sludge.

In the MBBR biofilm technology the biofilm grows protected within engineered plastic carriers,
which are carefully designed with high internal surface area. These biofilm carriers are suspended
and thoroughly mixed throughout the water phase. With this technology it is possible to handle
extremely high loading conditions without any problems of clogging, and treat industrial and
municipal wastewater on a relatively small footprint.
The MBBR biofilm technology is efficient, compact and easy to operate. It can be an excellent
solution as a stand-alone process.
The MBBR biofilm technology is based on specially designed plastic biofilm carriers or
biocarriers that are suspended and in continuous movement within a tank or reactor of specified
volume. The design of associated aerators, grids, sieves, spray nozzles and other integral parts to
the reactor is also of great importance in making up the system as a whole.
The domestic sewage is led to the MBBR treatment reactor where biofilm, growing within the
internal structures of the biocarriers, degrade the pollutants. These pollutants that need to be
removed in order to treat the wastewater are food or substrate for growth of the biofilm. The
biocarrier design is critical due to requirements for good mass transfer of substrate and oxygen to
the microorganisms.
An aeration grid located at the bottom of the reactor supplies oxygen to the biofilm along with the
mixing energy required to keep the biocarriers suspended and completely mix within the reactor.
Treated water flows from reactor through a grid or a sieve, which retains the MBBR biocarriers in
the reactor. Depending on the wastewater, the reactors are may be equipped with special spray
nozzles that prevent excessive foam formation.
The biologically treated water will be finally treated in activated carbon/sand filter and part of the
treated water reused after disinfection and part is discharged into the public sewers.

4.2.4 Rainwater Harvesting & Storm Water Runoff
All along the road network of the proposed project, storm water drains would be provided to
collect water during rains. They would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site. It is
proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top rainwater and rain water
of paved surface at respective apartment and villas. Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be
provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit. Overflow from the harvesting pit and storm water
of road / open space will be collected through road side storm water drains. For better infiltration
of rainwater into ground, storm water drains will be provided with check dams at every 100 m.
The storm water drains are connected to nearby natural drain.
The details of rainwater harvesting calculation and storm water calculation are given in Table
4.2.4 (A) and Table 4.2.4 (B)
The rainwater harvesting pits will be provided adjacent apartment blocks and villas, so that the
roof water can be directly sent to nearest Rainwater harvesting pit. The excess water if any from
the rainwater harvesting pits is diverted to storm water drains.

4.3 Noise Level Impacts
Sound pressure level generated by noise source decreases with increasing distance from the source
due to the wave divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the
source is due to atmospheric effect or interaction with the objects in the transmission path. It is also
affected by the environmental conditions.
The noise generation during construction phase and occupation phase will be different. The
construction phase will be temporary in nature where during occupation phase it will be on
continuous.
4.3.1 Impact during Construction
The major activities which produce periodic noise, during construction phase are as follows:
Foundation laying construction
Fabrication of structures
Operation of construction equipment
Movement of vehicles

Page: 4.14
4.3.2 Mitigation Measures
All noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement.
Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise
generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Therefore, impact on noise
environment due to proposed project would be insignificant.
All vehicles entering into the project will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow horns
unless it is required.
4.3.3 Impacts during Occupation phase
The major noise expected at the site is due to traffic movement and operation of DG set during
power failure.
4.3.4 Mitigation Measures
To minimize the noise due to vehicular movement all the vehicles will be advised to get serviced
regularly so that the noise due to movement of vehicles will be minimum, they will also be advised
not to blow horns unless it is required. All noise generating machines like pumps, compressors, etc
will be properly serviced and mounted on anti vibration pads to reduce the noise generation. The
DG set will be provided by Acoustic enclosure.
In addition to this, the entire open areas along the boundary, along the main road and internal roads
shall be provided with adequate green belt to diffuse the noise dispersion.
Trees with heavy foliage, strong leafy will be planted on both sides of carriage way to absorb the
noise, shrubs and creepers will be planted for additional protection between tree trunks.
4.4 Solid Waste Impact Assessment
The present section presents an assessment of solid waste impacts associated with the Construction
phase and Occupation phase of the project. The sources of solid waste generation at the different
phases of the development are categorized as follows.
i. Construction phase: Construction and demolition waste is generated during the
construction activity. Activities such as site clearance, site formation, building works,
infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure activities. It consists mostly of inert
and non-biodegradable materials such as concrete, plaster, metal, plastics etc.
ii. Occupational phase: The most common solid waste generated in the construction project
is municipal solid waste containing biodegradable and non biodegradable waste.
4.4.1 Solid Waste Generation during Construction phase
This category of waste in the proposed project are due to different types of raw materials being
used during establishment stage in general may comprise the following
i. cement concrete
ii. Bricks, Tiles,
iii. Cement Plaster
EMP for Proposed High Rise Residential Apartments & Individual

Page: 4.15
iv. steel (from RCC, door/ window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase etc)
v. rubble, sand,
vi. Stone (Marble, granite, sand stone)
vii. Timber/Wood
viii. Paints/Varnishes
Besides above there are some major and minor components namely conduits, pipes, electrical
fixtures, panels, etc in all the proposed projects. In addition the packing material used for packing
of various items used in creation of infrastructure and others also constitutes the solid waste.
4.4.2 Mitigation Measures during Construction Phase
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 would
be made to reuse and recycle them. Most of the solid waste material can be used for filing/ leveling
of low-laying areas. All attempts should be made to stick to the following measures.
1. All construction waste shall be stored within the site itself. A proper screen will be
provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
2. 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.
3. Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, leveling, making roads/
pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land
filled.
4. 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.
i. Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible and
depending upon their conditions.
ii. Sale/ auction of materials which cannot be used at the site due to design constraint.
iii. Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal etc can be sent for recycling.
iv. Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as leveling, under coat of lanes
where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
v. Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas.
vi. Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
vii. The unearthed soil can be used for leveling as well as for lawn development
viii. The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for leveling in the building or can
be disposed off
ix. The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be disposed
off

4.4.3 Solid Waste Generation during Occupation
The generation of food and trade wastes due to the Occupation of the project will be more or less a
continuous process. The various day to day activities may discard packing materials, spoiled and
half eaten foods. The schematic diagram of the solid waste management scheme proposed is given
as Figure 4.4.3
As per Manual on Municipal Solid Waste Management. Central Public Health & Environmental
Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), Ministry of Urban Development, GOI, for estimation of
future per capita waste quantity the following municipal refuse generation rates are suggested.
Residential refuse: 0.3 to 0.5 kg/cap/day
Commercial refuse: 0.1 to 0.2 kg/cap/day
Street sweepings : 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day
Institutional refuse: 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day

4.5 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 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.
EMP for Proposed High Rise Residential Apartments & Individual

The proposed project being construction project there are no major air pollution sources like
industries, power plants, mines, etc. The only air pollutants expected are from vehicles used by the
residents / visitors coming to the see them. The DG sets used during power failure also generate air
pollutants. To minimize the air pollution from this type of activities landscaping and adequate
greenbelt will be developed.
The details of the land allotted for greenbelt and landscaping is given in Table 4.5.1 (A)

4.5.1 Management Plan for Greenbelt Development
In construction projects the plants and the natural vegetation of the construction site is going to be
severely damaged, however in the present case only small bushes are present, no major trees or
vegetation is present. Hence, there are no chances of losing any valuable biodiversity. When the
construction project is fully developed over a period of few years, lots of greenery comes up in the
form of avenue trees, ornamentals, fruit trees and lawns. As a result, the loss of carbon
sequestration capacity due to the loss of few bushes 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 trees proposed to be included for the development of parks, green
belt and avenue plantations are given in Table 4.5.1 (B).
Shrubs are usually woody or semi-woody perennial plants, their branches arise from the base of
the plants and grow up to the height of 3 to 4 m. Many shrubs, which are more or less prostrate,
make excellence ground flower. Availability of a large no of species & cultivars, a wide range of
variation in shape & size of the plants, diversified types of leaves & growth habit, remarkable
ranges of size, shape & colour of flower and the variety of fragrance have made the shrubs as
important garden plants. Several species of shrubs have usually attractive colors.
Most of the shrubs are hardy & grow in all types of soil with little attention. Although some plants
flower almost throughout the year, in most cases they are seasonal. A selection can be made in
such a way that some plants in the shrubbery will be in bloom in any season of the year. Some of
them are sweet scented. Most of these plants are fairly quick growing and when vegetatively
propagated, start flowering in the first year.
Shrubs are classified into three groups according to the requirement of the sunlight for growth and
flowering
Show normal growth & flowering in full sun
Grow only in partial shade
Grow well in both in sun and semi shady condition
Before planting shrubs, location and size of the plants should be considered. Plant them in a place
where they should not obstruct other flowerbeds, plants, etc., though we can prune them but

carefully think about the size when they will be fully grown so that they should not towered over
other plants.
Planting stocks are readily available from the social 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 man power for development and
maintenance are provided in the plan. The Greenbelt layout plan is given as Figure 4.5.1

4.6 Demography and Socio-Economics
Investment in a region has multifold effects on the overall economy of the region. Development of
the well-planned Construction project makes a powerful contribution to the formation and
strengthening of linkages with other sectors of the economy and, in the process, stimulates the
creation and expansion of micro enterprises at the local level, and helps to generate adequate
socio-economic benefits to the local people and also supplementary cash income opportunities for
the women & other disadvantaged groups.
Any measure of such economic impact can be an indicator of improvement in the overall
economic well-being of the study area, which is one of the major goals of developmental efforts
and deployment of resources in the construction project.
The project will lead to multi-facet benefits for the society and some of the benefits are as given
below:-
Economic gain (Increase in taxes to government)
Employment generation;
Infrastructural developmental works, such as improved access to potable water,
communications, roads (access to markets), and improved health and education services;
Increased personal income and wealth creation
(i) Economic gain
The proposed project brings not only the local people, but also the people from the other regions
thereby generate direct & indirect economic gains to the people. The residents will be paying taxes
and services charges for the services extended by local municipal authorities.
(ii) Employment generation
The development of the project is also going to generate pro-poor employment (direct as well as
indirect) because; it is a highly labor-intensive industry housemaids, drivers, helpers. Indirectly
children will join nearby schools; residents will shopping in nearby shops, some of them may hire
other services like laundry, cleaning, etc.

Page: 4.22
(iii) Infrastructure creation
In addition to employment and business opportunities, construction projects often brings with it
improved infrastructure, security, communications, community development.
Health and education services for the poor can also be improved since government revenues
generated from such project activities may subsequently be invested in these services.
(iv) Increased personal income and wealth creation
Due to development of these projects, the property values in the region would also be a reflection
of economic impact of the project. As discussed earlier, the project would create new employment
and business opportunities. Also the spin-off effects of the projects in the neighborhood area
would also increase the business volumes of existing businesses. These new opportunities would
result in increased personal income and better standards of living. With the increase in personal
income and new opportunities, the property values in the nearby areas would increase, thus
resulting in wealth creation for the nearby community. It is also important to note that when
property values go up, the buying class is generally the richer class of the society or business
entities. This phenomenon, though difficult to quantify at this stage, would redistribute wealth
within the society and create opportunities for the people owning property in the nearby region.

5.1 Introduction
No alternate site has been considered as the land required for the project is suitable for residential use.
The project site is adjacent to VUDA approved layout (BPL No, 205) for residential units. The site is
outside the Visakhapatnam bowl area (critically polluted areas as identified by CPCB). The
boundaries of the Visakhapatnam bowl area are Yarada Hill range in the south to Simhachalam Hill
range in north, sea on the east and the present NH 5 in the west direction.
The main advantages for proposing the project at this site are the site is plain without any undulations,
and free from big plants/trees. The site is nearer to railway station and airport Visakhapatnam, NH 5 is
around 200 m. no forest land and R&R issues are involved.
5.1.1 Planning
The layout will be designed meeting the existing guidelines of VUDA. The roads are planned to meet
the traffic needs of the residents and smooth movement of fire engine to all corners of the layout.
Necessary parking will be provided for all apartments in the basement and villas in their respective
plots. To improve aesthetics and minimize air and noise pollution greenbelt along the boundary and
roads will be provided. The wastewater generated will be collected and treated in STP and part of the
treated water is reused for flushing, greenbelt development, etc, and the excess treated water is
discharged into public sewer. Rainwater harvesting is proposed at respective buildings and strom
water drains along the roads and boundary of project area to avoid flooding and to improve the ground
water recharge.
5.1.2 Building Materials
The proposed project being a mixture of villas and apartments, the building materials for villas will be
decided by the individual owners however advice will be given to villa owners to use environment
friendly building materials for construction, whereas for apartments the following building materials
are proposed, depending upon the availability and cost some of them will be considered.
Brick and block products with waste and recycled contents such as fly ash, blast furnace slag,
sewage sludge, waste wood fibre, etc.
Perforated bricks or Fly ash based lightweight aerated concrete blocks for construction of walls.
Use of precast thin lintels, use of ferro-cement-sunshade cum lintel, etc
Use of renewable timber for doors and windows
Use of steel manufactured from recycled content
Aluminum frames, rods, etc manufactured using recycled aluminum
Saw dust based doors and window frames
Ferro-cement shutters, PVC doors and windows, Rice husk boards, Natural fibre reinforced
polymer composite door panels
Bamboo based products, bamboo strips boards
Alternatives for finishes include fly ash, ceramic tiles, terrazzo floors, etc

5.1.3Roads and Open spaces
Conventionally the open spaces between boundary walls and buildings are covered impermeable
structures. Permeable paving should be used to control surface water runoff by allowing storm water
to infiltrate the soil and return to the ground water. The following measures are proposed to surface
water infiltration into ground water.
Loose (gravel/crusher fines) aggregate material will be used to cover pedestrian surfaces
A porous asphalt (bituminous concrete) layer constructed with open grades aggregate (small
fines removed) which leaves voids between the large particles unfilled by smaller fine
Porous concrete mix without the fine aggregate, and with special additives for strength
Permeable paving is not intended to replace the standard impervious paving like roads used for
movement of vehicles, etc. Where tar or cement roads are proposed to with stand the traffic and weir
and tare.
5.1.4 Energy Conservation
To minimize the use of energy and to conserve the energy some of the energy efficient technologies
are to be followed. The roofs and opaque walls should comply with the maximum assembly U factor
or the minimum insulation R value as given in Table 5.1.4

The concept of passive solar design emphasizes architectural design approaches that minimize the
energy consumption by integrating conventional energy efficient devices, such as mechanical and
electrical pumps, fans lighting fixtures, and other equipment, with passive design elements, such as
building siting, an efficient envelope, appropriate amounts of fenestration, increased day lighting
design, and thermal mass. The basic idea of passive solar design is to allow daylight, heat and airflow
into a building only when beneficial. Some of the advanced solar passive techniques proposed to be
used are given below.
Glazed windows are located to face the south to receive maximum sunlight in winter. To reduce
heat losses during the night these windows are double glazed and have insulating curtains.
Planning to bring maximum day light into a building and distributing it in a way that provides
more desirable and better quality illumination than artificial light sources. This reduces the need
for electrical light sources, thus cutting down on electricity use and its associated costs and
pollution.
Energy efficient lighting devices are planned such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), CFLs, tube
lights in place of incandescent bulbs.

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program
The main objective of environmental monitoring program is to check the efficacy of the EMP
(Environmental Management Plan) and mitigation measures implementation and take corrective
action needed. A well defined environmental monitoring program would be followed for the proposed
project. It would be ensured that trained and qualified staff supervises (by hiring third party) the
monitoring of ambient air, stack gases, effluents, noise etc. to see that prescribed standards laid down
are obtained.
The monitoring Plan will have two components:

Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan
7.1 Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is defined in this study as a technique that aims to identify and estimate risks to
personnel and property impacted upon by a project. Traditional risk assessment for construction has
been synonymous with probabilistic analysis. Such approaches require events to be mutually
exclusive, exhaustive, and conditionally independent. However, construction involves many variables,
and it is often difficult to determine causality, dependence and correlations. As a result, subjective
analytical methods that rely on historical information and the experiences of individuals and
companies have been used to assess the impact of construction risk and uncertainty.
7.2 Major Hazards
The major hazardous anticipated in any major building and construction projects are illustrated below.
Hazardous pertaining to fires in buildings
Fire in diesel storage areas, garbage storage areas and disposal areas
Natural disasters viz. Earthquakes, flooding, etc
LPG gas leak
Electrical accidents
Flooding from man-made causes
7.3 Disaster Management Plan (DMP)
Emergency prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection are essential to
reduce the probability of occurrence and consequential effect of such eventualities. The overall
objective of the DMP/Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined resources at
the site and outside services to achieve the following.
Localize the emergency on property and people
Minimize effects on property and people
Effective rescue and medical treatment
Evacuation.
7.4 Hazards Control Measures
7.4.1 Fires
To increase the level of safety in apartments/villas, installation of smoke alarms or automatic fire
detection /alarm systems will be proposed as an early warning of fire to the occupants. Smoke alarms
to be positioned in circulation areas between sleeping spaces, in places where fires are most likely to
start such as kitchens or living rooms, to pick up smoke in the early stages of a fire, close enough to
bedroom doors to be effective when people are asleep.

To prevent fire mishaps and to manage the emergency situation during fire in the proposed project the
following activities and precautions are proposed.
Emergency evacuation plans or building evacuation plans are important for all residential
buildings, and the same will be prepared as per Fire & Safety rules.
Regular mock drills will be carried out to create awareness on procedures to be followed in
times of evacuation
It will be advised to keep oxygen cylinders, medical kits and masks for higher floor occupants
to prevent smoke inhalation especially for those with respiratory disorders for whom smoke
inhalation can be very dangerous.
Property manager or apartment owners association will be advised to ensure that the fire
fighting equipments are in good working conditions.
Every floor will be provided with sufficient fire fighting gadgets (water, soil, cylinders)
Simple steps to be followed during emergency are as follows.
Call the fire rescue department: During fire in building/apartment, leave the premises by nearest
available exit. Call fire department and do not assume anyone else has called the fire department.
Never use lift for leaving the premises or apartment during emergency. If your cloth catches fire, do
not get panic or run, stop, drop and roll.
Cover your nose and mouth with a wet clean cloth: Stay calm cover your nose and mouth with a
wet, clean cloth to prevent smoke inhalation injury and choking. Never jump off or attempt to climb
down the side of a tall building as it will mean certain death.
Do not run: During a fire, smoke containing poisonous gases such as CO tends to rise up. When you
run in a smoke filled room, you tend to inhale the smoke faster. CO dulls the senses and prevents clear
thinking, leading to panic. To prevent being asphyxiated, dip tissues or cloth in water and cover your
noise with it.
Head-count of the occupants: During an emergency, make good use of the evacuation procedure and
help each other to reach out of building safely. Ensure nobody is left behind by doing a head-count of
occupants. Visitors should read and understand the evacuation plan before going into a building and
ensure their safety.
7.4.2 Natural Disasters
Disasters occur without notice. Most disasters are natural such as earthquake, floods, hurricanes,
sandstorms, landslides, tsunamis and volcanoes. We have no way of stopping them, but we can learn
to deal with the difficult situations that arise due to them.
During disasters like floods, fire, earth quake, landslides, rescue beings at home. Even before external
help arrives, people affected by the disasters help each other.
EMP Proposed High Rise Residential Apartments & Individual

Page: 7.3
The government and many voluntary organizations send teams of workers trained in rescue operations
to disaster-affected areas. These teams join hands with the local community helpers such as doctors,
nurses, social workers and policemen.
Temporary shelters are built for displaced people. Doctors and nurses provide medical aid. They treat
the wounded and work to control epidemics. Social workers collect food and cloth from all over the
country for the disaster-affected people. The police maintain law and order. Media –persons help in
spreading news about the victims and their conditions. They also post advertisements that urge people
to donate for victims.
In extreme conditions, the army and Air force organize rescue operations. They clear roads, send
medical teams and help to move people to safer places. The air force drops food, water and clothes in
the affected areas. Organization like UN helps in providing aid during massive disasters.
Individually, people from all over the world also come forward to help during a disaster. They donate
blood while many donate money. Some even reach the disaster affected places to give an extra hand
in the rescue operation. Families adopt children who have lost their parents and thus give them a new
home.
What you can do in case disaster strikes are given below
If there is a tornado, take shelter in a place without windows.
In an earthquake, remember to crouch under some heavy furniture or stand under the
doorframe for cover.
In case of a fire in the building, leave the building by the stairs. Do not use a lift.
If the house is flooded, then climb up to the roof.
Do not use the telephone, except to call for help, so as to leave telephone lines free for the
organization of response
Listen to the messages broadcast by radio and the various media so as to be informed of
development
Carry out the official instructions given over the radio or by loudspeaker
Keep a family emergency kit ready. In all the different types of emergency, it is better to be
prepared than to get ready, to get information so as to get organized, to wait rather that act too
hastily
During floods turn off electricity to reduce the risk of electrocution
As soon as flood begins, take vulnerable people (old, children, sick, etc) to upper floor
Beware of water contamination, wait until the water is declared safe before drinking or boil
the water before drinking
Clean and disinfect the room that is flooded
During storms and hurricanes do not go out in a car or a boat once the storm has been
announced
If caught outside in a storm, take refuge as quickly as possible in shelter (never under a tree),
if there is no shelter, lie down flat in a ditch.

Page: 7.4
In a thunderstorm keep away from doors, windows, and electrical conductors, unplug
electrical appliances and television aerials. Do not use any electrical appliances or the
telephone
During earthquake keep calm, do not get panic, People who are indoors should stay there but
move to the central part of the building, people who are outside should stay there, keeping
away from buildings to avoid collapsing walls and away from electrical cables. Anyone in a
vehicle should park it, keeping away from bridges and buildings
During spread of clouds of toxic fumes, close doors and windows, seal any cracks or gaps
around windows and doors with adhesive tape. Organize a reserve of water (by filling wash
basins, baths, etc. Turn off ventilators and air conditioners.
7.4.3 LPG Gas Leak Prevention and Precautions during Leakage

7.4.4 Electrical Accidents
Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks, and electrocution which can lead to serious injury and
even death. When dealing with potentially serious electrical hazards, stop and think! Instead of taking
a chance and risking your personal safety, call trained professionals to handle problems.
Many times in residential homes, people prefer to take electrical matters into their own hands. Other
small aspects of electrical repair in a business setting may be taken care of without needing
professional service technicians. If you do decide to take matters into your own hands, safety
precautions can avoid injuries and other losses.
7.4.4.1 Prevention of Electrical Accidents
Flexible cords connected to appliance should be wired to confirm to the international colour code.
Colour of the insulation on the wire is
Brown represents live wire,
Blue represents neutral wire and
Green/yellow stripes represent earth wire.
What you should look for when selecting an electrical appliance are given below
EMP Proposed High Rise Residential Apartments & Individual
Villas, Narava (V), Jaggayyapalem (M), Visakhapatnam, A.P M/s Ramky Estates & Farms Ltd, Hyderabad
Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd., Hyderabad
Page: 7.7
a. The appliance should be suitable for operation on local electrical supply of 240 volts AC and
frequency of 50 Hz.
b. The appliance should preferably be tested and certified by a national or reputed standards
testing authority
c. Look for certified plugs on the flexible cords connected to the appliances. If the appliance is
double insulated and has a 2-pin plug, then it should be fitted with a suitable certified plug.
d. An essential formality when buying any appliances is a duly completed guarantee card with
the dealer's/retailer's official stamp and details of the appliance (serial number, etc.).
Safety precautions to be taken when using electrical appliances
a. Avoid using handheld appliances when your hand and/or body are wet.
b. Do not use or leave appliances where liquid can splash onto them.
c. Flexible cords connecting the appliance and the plug should be in good condition, if the cord
is frayed, chaffed, cut or melted, have the entire cord replaced by a competent person.
d. Check accessories such as plugs attached to appliances for cracks and burnt marks and have
them replaced. If undue overheating occurs or burnt marks appear in any electrical appliance,
have it checked
Some common causes of electrical accidents in the house
a. Faulty house wiring: This usually occurs when unauthorised extension or rewiring is done by
unqualified persons. Some of the usual faults are the omission of earth wires and the reversing
of the live and neutral wires. Without an earth wire, the exposed metal parts of appliances
may deliver a lethal shock to the user when a fault develops.
b. Improper flexible cords: This can be caused by connecting the flexible cord wrongly to the
plug. In the case of appliances which have exposed metallic parts, a 2-core instead of a 3-core
flexible cord is used. When the appliance is faulty, the exposed metal parts may become live
and a fatal accident could result.
c. Faulty appliance: Attempts to repair faults in electrical appliances by people not trained to do
so can result in accidental shock.
To prevent Electrical accidents, the following points should be kept in mind:
All electrical wiring, rewiring or extension work must be carried out by licensed electrical
contractors. On completion, the contractors should test before electricity supply is connected.
Repair of appliances and replacement of flexible cords should be carried out only by
competent persons.
To ensure electrical safety in the house, a current-operated Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
(ELCB) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) set to operate at a very small leakage
current is recommended. (This is usually marked 100mA or 0.1A on the label). In case of
dangerous electrical leakage to earth, it should automatically cur off the supply of electricity.
DO NOT repair your own electrical appliances. Engage the services of a competent
technician.
PREVENT children from meddling with socket outlets. It may cause a tragic accident.

The Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region, includes 5 urban centres namely Viskhapatnam,
Vizianagaram, Ankapalli, Bheemunipatnam and Gajuwaka and also large rural area with 287
villages. The region is under tremendous change due to rapid industrialisation and development.
The proposed project is coming up adjacent to sanctioned layout of VUDA, nearer to Sheelanagar.
The national highway and Airport are close by; hence the demand is ever increasing in this area.
The proposed project consists of apartments and villas, due to this project some of the benefits
expected area as follows.
Improvements of Physical Infrastructure
Improvements in Social Infrastructure
Employment to locals
8.2 Improvements of Physical infrastructure:
Due to the proposed project the revenue of the local municipal will increase because of
permissions and municipal taxes, sales taxes, etc. The business like super markets, provisional
stores, drycleaners, hardware shops, cloths shops, hair cutting saloons, etc will come up to cater
the needs of the residents which will benefit existing nearby village. Small scale units of nearby
areas will get boost and sales will improve because of increased demand for their products.

8.4 Employment Potential
The main advantage of the construction sector is direct employment generation (i) absorbs rural
labour and unskilled workers (in addition to semi-skilled and some skilled); (ii) provides
opportunity for seasonal employment thereby supplementing workers’ income from farming; and
(iii) permits large-scale participation of women workers both during construction and operation
phase. The maximum benefit will be for local villagers as they are easily accessible.
Additionally it is estimated that good number of jobs will be created as an indirect employment
opportunities at local/regional level due to contractual, marketing and associated jobs directly with
the project. The other related employment due to transportation requirement, supply of essential
items and services to the project site and other community services will be plenty.
Employment in these sectors will be permanent based on own initiatives and interest of the
individual. Involvement of unskilled labour requirement will be continuous basis depending on the
requirement of contractor at site. A major part of this labor force will be hired from local villages.
The construction sector has major linkages with the building material industry since construction
material accounts for sizeable share of the construction costs of the project. These include cement,
steel, bricks/tiles, sand, aggregates, fixtures, fittings, paints, construction equipment, petro-
products, timer, mineral products, aluminium, glass and plastics.

9.0 Introduction
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the
area of the proposed project site. Hence, it needs proper Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
to meet these objectives.
The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent
with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are
discharged. The following mitigation measures are proposed in order to synchronize the economic
development of the study area with the environmental protection of the region. The Environmental
Management Plan is an action plan aiming to control pollution at the source level to the possible
extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they
are let out/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.
9.1 Environmental Management during Construction
The impacts during the construction phase on the environment would be basically of temporary
nature and are expected to reduce gradually on completion of the construction activities.
9.1.1 Air Quality Mitigation Measures
For the proposed project site levelling and grading will be carried out if required, where ever
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
construction of villas/apartments. According to the engineering assessment; most of the excavated
mud generated for providing basement in apartments shall be reused within the project boundary
for levelling during road formation, the excess if any will be given to local contractors for disposal
in low lying areas, road constructions, etc.
Most of the construction dust will be generated from the movement of construction vehicles on
unpaved roads. Unloading and removal of soil material shall also act as a potential source for dust
nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below.
1 Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the project area will be done, this activity will be
carried out at least twice a day, if need arises frequency will be increased on windy days, in
this way around 50% reduction on the dust contribution from the exposed surface will be
achieved.
2 The duration of stockpiling of excavated mud will be as short as possible as most of the
material will be used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.
3 Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the site of dust
generation or all around the project site as barrier for dust control.

4 Tree plantations around the project boundary will be initiated at the early stages by
plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation or by regular watering so that the
area will be moist for most part of the day.
5 All vehicles carrying raw materials will be instructed to cover with tarpaulin / plastic sheet,
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
6 To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighbourhood the external
part of the building 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.
9.1.2 Water Quality Mitigation Measures
During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the site
gets collected to working pit and if any over flow is, will be diverted to near by greenbelt /
plantation area
During construction activity all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to
arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for construction purposes,
and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc.
The waste generated from the site work shop 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.
The domestic wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the work force 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 unit would be
insignificant.
9.1.3 Noise Mitigation Measures
Noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement.
Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise
generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Temporary tin sheets of
sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the noise generating activity or all around the project
site as barrier for minimizing the noise travel to surrounding areas. Therefore, impact on noise
environment due to proposed project would be insignificant.
All vehicles entering into the project will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow horns
unless it is required.
Personal protective equipment like earmuffs, helmets covering ears would be provided to the
workers working near noise generating equipment and would see that workers use the protective
gadgets regularly.

9.1.4 Solid Waste Mitigation Measures
The solid waste generated during construction period being predominantly inert in nature,
construction and demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution. However
maximum effort would be made to reuse and recycle them. The most of the solid waste material
will be used for filing/ levelling of low-laying areas, as road construction material, if any excess
given to local contractors for lifting and dumping in low lying areas. All attempts would be made
to stick to the following measures.
1 All construction waste shall be stored within the site itself. A proper screen will be
provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
1 Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible and
depending upon their conditions.
2 Sale/ auction of materials which can not be used at the site due to design constraint
3 Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal, used cement bags, etc can be sent for recycling in the
industries.
4 Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as levelling, under coat of lanes
where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
5 Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas.
6 Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
7 The unearthed soil can be used for levelling as well as for lawn development
8 The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for levelling in the building or can
be disposed off
9 The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be disposed
off.
9.1.5 Ecological Aspects
During construction period, there could be clearing of vegetation in order to prepare the site for
construction, the top soil from the construction area will collected and will be stored separately and
will be used for greenbelt development. A comprehensive green belt program will be planned to
improve the ecological condition of the region.

9.1.6 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. Round the clock security personnel
will be appointed to restrict entry of unwanted people to the site.
9.2 Management during Occupation Stage
Necessary control measures will be undertaken at the design stage to meet the statutory
requirements and towards minimizing environmental impacts.
During project implementation period special emphasis will be made on measures to minimize
effluent generation and dust control at source. The specific control measures related to air
emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, solid waste disposal etc. are described
below:
9.2.1 Air Quality Management
The main activities from the proposed project which cause air pollution are as follows:
Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen oxide from DG set
Dust particulates due to movement of vehicles and road sweepings
The following methods of abatement will be employed for the air pollution control.
DG set will be provided with a stack height meeting MOEF Guidelines or 1 m above
the tallest structure in the project area for proper dispersion of sulfur dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen.
Internal roads will be concreted / asphalted to reduce dust emissions
Speed restriction will be followed within the project and speed breakers will be
provided at entry and exit points
9.2.2 Water and Wastewater Quality Management
The source of water for the proposed project is ground water from borewell/open well within the
site or Municipal supply. During rainy season the roof water will be collected and diverted for
fresh water tank, the excess will be diverted to rainwater harvesting structures.
The wastewater generated will be collected by closed pipes and diverted to STP, the part of the
treated water from STP will be used for flushing, gardening, washing vehicles, etd. The excess
treated water will be discharged into public sewers.
9.2.3 Rainwater Harvesting and Storm Water Management
The rainwater harvesting structures are proposed to use roof top rainwater and rain water of paved
surface at adjacent of respective buildings. Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be
provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit, the required quantity of the treated rainwater will
be diverted into fresh water storage tank. Excess rainwater if any will be diverted to storm water
drains.

Page: 9.5
Storm water drains will be provided along the roads and along the boundary wall of the proposed
project to collect rain water from open areas and greenbelt areas during rains. The storm water
drain would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site, the storm water drains would
contain check dams at appropriate distances to retain water for maximum in filtering of the
rainwater into ground so that the aquifer can get maximum recharge.
9.2.4 Noise Level Management
The specifications for procuring major noise generating machines/equipment would include built
in design requirements of 85 dB (A) to have minimum noise levels meeting Occupational Safety
and Health Assessment (OSHA) requirement
The major sources of Noise Pollution are as follows:
DG set
Water Pumps
The DG set will have silencer and will be provided with an acoustic enclosure. Similarly the Water
pumps will be kept in closed room and will be provided with noise barriers/shields and mounted
on anti vibration pads. Regular maintenance will be carried out as per the schedule prescribed by
the manufacturer for smooth functioning.
9.2.5 Solid Waste Management
The municipal / domestic solid waste generated will be collected from all apartments and villas
and brought to one place, and it will be segregated into recyclable, compostable and non-
compostable. The recyclables will be disposed to local vendors and compostable will be sent
compost plant, where as the non-compostable solid waste will be disposed into local municipal
bins.
9.3 Green Belt Development
Green belt 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 green belt is being proposed for the following objectives.
Mitigation of fugitive dust emissions
Noise pollution control
Prevention of soil erosion
Balancing eco environment
Aesthetics
The green belt will be covered along the plant boundary and along the roads. 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:
EMP for Proposed High Rise Residential Apartments & Individual

M/s. Ramky Estates & Farms Ltd, Hyderabad
Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd., Hyderabad
Page: 9.6
Trees growing up to 10 m or more in height with thick canopy cover and perennial foliage
would be planted along the boundary.
Planting of trees would be done in rows with minimum three rows encircling perimeter of
the project. While planting the trees care would be taken that the buildings 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 trunk being free foliage up to a height of 2 to 3 m, it is proposed to grow shrubs in
front of trees so as to give coverage to the open portion.
Sensitive species like Mangifera indica would be planted in patches along the entire green
belt to work as an indicator of pollution potential.
A list of plants identified for greenbelt and three tier plantations is given in Table 9.3.1.
