2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Goal and Objective of the Proposed Project

The objectives of the EIA study are as follows:

To describe the proposed project and associated works together with the requirements for carrying out the proposed development.

To identify and describe the elements of the community and environment likely to be affected by the proposed developments.

To establish the baseline environmental and social scenario of the project site and its surroundings.

To identify, predict and evaluate environmental and social impacts expected to rise during the construction and usage of the project in relation to the sensitive receptors.

To develop an Environmental Management Plan that identifies the negative impacts and develops mitigation measures so as to minimize pollution, environmental disturbance and nuisance during construction and operation of the development.

To design and specify the monitoring requirements necessary to ensure the implementation and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures adopted.

2.2 Significance of the Proposed Project at Regional Level

The real estate sector in India assumed greater prominence with the liberalization of the economy, as the consequent increase in business opportunities and labour migration led to rising demand for commercial and housing space. At present, the real estate and construction sectors are playing a crucial role in the overall development of India’s core infrastructure. Residential/Commercial real estate industry has witnessed stupendous growth in the past few years owing to the following reasons: Continuous growth in population Migration towards urban areas Ample job opportunities in service sectors Growing income levels Rise in nuclear families Easy availability of finance

Demand for houses increased considerably whilst supply of houses could not keep pace with demand thereby leading to a steep rise in residential capital values especially in urban areas. Despite slowdown of the economy, the demand for housing continues to be strong in the country.




At the same time, the government's decision to open up foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail will also give boost to demand in several cities, including those in the NCR. At the same time, FDI in real estate has also started picking up as the sector has emerged as one of the best sector for investment. According to a report by Cushman and Wakefield, the total FDI in construction development has seen a significant fall since 2008. But the current year has seen a strong rebound. According to the report, the first half of 2012 recorded nearly Rs 27,600 crore inflow, which is close to breaching the total level in 2011.

As investment increase in the sector, the construction activities are also likely to further pick

up in the coming years. This will certainly add to fresh supply in the housing sector. But at

the same time, the demand for residential/commercial real estate has also picked up in the

country.

2.3 Significance of Proposed Project at Local Level

Achieving land potential in a rational and judicious manner is one of the prime objectives of this group housing/commercial development. This will be done by minimizing the impact on environmental resources, enhancing the infrastructure quality to allow uninhibited freedom for human resource development and provide gainful economic opportunities for employment. Urban environment on sustainable lines will be developed, by harnessing the existing environmental resources, adopting state of the art technologies to minimize waste generation (through recycling) and dependency on motorized modes of transportation. This part is experiencing new and an upgraded emerging trend in terms of improvement in infrastructure, new roads development etc with a real urgency of new area development. As the area will achieve good connectivity through the sector level road development, it is likely to attract the building construction sector to come up to provide the better infrastructure facility for the increased population. The proposed project will lead to following benefits.

Improvement in social infrastructure by providing additional employment opportunities

to the skilled as well as unskilled people;

Trigger growth in the district and in the region as the area will be developed and will

result in associated development;

The planned development with modern infrastructure facilities and source of income

would improve quality of life of local community.

Provision of residential/commercial development to cater to the increased.

3.0 Legal and Administrative Framework

The 1972 United Nations (UN) Conference on Human Development at Stockholm influenced the need for a well-developed legal mechanism to conserve resources, protect the environment and ensure the health and well being of the people in India. Over the years, the Government of India has framed several policies and promulgated number of Acts, Rules and Notifications aimed at management and protection of the environment. As a result, our country now has a fairly comprehensive set of environmental legislation aimed at ensuring that the development process meets the overall objective of promoting sustainability in the long run. Moreover, the Indian Constitution has also incorporated specific articles to address environmental concerns through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment of 1976. As stated in the Constitution of India, it is the duty of the state (Article 48 A) to ‘protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country’. It imposes a duty on every citizen (Article 51 A) ‘to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife’. Reference to the environment has also been made in the Directive Principles of State Policy as well as the Fundamental Rights.

3.1 Environmental Policies Several environment policy statements have been formulated in the last few decades as a part of the Government’s approach to integrate environmental and developmental aspects of planning. The policies reflect a gradual shift in emphasis from pollution abatement and control to proactive and voluntary approaches for pollution prevention in keeping with global paradigm shifts and trends in environment management. Following are some of the key policies that have been laid down by the Central Government:

National Forest Policy, 1988; o National Conservation Strategy and Policy Statement on Environment and

Development, 1992;

Policy Statement on Abatement of Pollution, 1992.

National Environmental policy, 2006

Despite these policy documents, a need for a comprehensive policy statement had been evident for some time in order to infuse a common approach to the various sectoral and cross-sectoral, approaches to environmental management. As a result, a National Environment Policy (NEP, 2006) has been drawn up as a response to our national commitment to a clean environment, mandated in the Constitution in Articles 48 A and 51 A (g), strengthened by judicial interpretation of Article 21. The policy is still in draft form and addresses environmental concerns in all-developmental activities.

3.2 Legal Provisions for Environment Related to Building / Construction / Area Development & Township Projects

The proposed project is governed by various Acts, Rules and Regulations set by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) at the Central level and other regulatory agencies at the State and local level. Various environmental standards, specifications and guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State level agencies will also be applicable.




It is important to note that the Central government framed “umbrella legislation”, called the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to broadly encompass and regulate an array of environmental issues. The overall purpose of EPA is to establish an overall coherent policy and provide a basis for the coordinated work of various government agencies with operational responsibility for the environment and natural resources. This legislation also invests authorities with regulatory powers to address specific issues affecting the environment. The Act does not allow any person to establish an industry, operation or process that discharges or emits any environmental pollutants in excess of standards prescribed under specific rules and notifications. The Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable to environmental aspects of the construction and operational phase of proposed project is summarized in Table 3.1 and briefly described in the following sections. Table 3.1: Summary of Environmental Legislation concerning Proposed Project

Siting Guidance Follow Siting Guidance as far as practicable Avoid sites which are environmentally sensitive

3.3 Siting of Projects

The siting of developmental projects in India is managed by Siting Guidelines for activities and projects delineated by the MoEF and the CPCB. The overall purpose of the guideline is to aid proponents in judiciously selecting project sites, keeping in mind various environmental sensitivities. However, the guidelines for siting are not legally enforceable except for areas which are ecologically fragile (as notified by certain specific notifications). Additionally, State Governments sometimes formulate State wide siting guidelines for development planning.

3.4 Environmental Clearance of Developmental Projects The requirement involved in the setting up of select development projects (projects with potential to cause significant environmental impacts) in India is through the Environmental Clearance (EC) Process affected on the basis of an Environmental Impact Assessment study/filling up of necessary forms. The EC process is mandated by the EIA notification dated September 14, 2006 and is administered by the State level regulatory and government bodies (as the State Pollution Control Board and the Environment Departments) and the Ministry of Environment and Forests (until formation of committee as mandated by EIA notification of September 14, 2006) at the Central Government level. The following projects or activities shall require prior environmental clearance from the concerned regulatory authority, which shall hereinafter referred to be as the Central Government in the Ministry of Environment and Forests for matters falling under Category ‘A’ in the Schedule and at State level the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) for matters falling under Category ‘B’ in the said Schedule, before any construction work, or preparation of land by the project management except for securing the land, is started on the project or activity: 1. All new projects or activities listed in the Schedule to this notification. 2. Expansion and modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the Schedule to

this notification with addition of capacity beyond the limits specified for the concerned sector, that is, projects or activities which cross the threshold limits given in the Schedule, after expansion or modernization.




3. Any change in product - mix in an existing manufacturing unit included in Schedule beyond the specified range.

Building /Construction projects/Area Development projects and Townships projects have been categorized under Item 8 of the Schedule.

8 (a) Any building and construction projects with builtup area 20000 sq.mtrs and <1,50,000 sq.mtrs. would require filling up of Form I, Form IA & Conceptual Plan.

8 (b) Any Townships and Area Development projects having builtup area more than 1,50,000 sqm or covering an area ≥ 50 ha would require Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study apart from Form I and Form IA.

The Consent to Establish (also termed as the No Objection Certificate or NOC) under the Air and Water Acts would be an independent work.

3.5 Urban Planning & Land Use Planned urban development is encouraged by successive Five Year Plans and State Governments that have promulgated Urban Town Planning Acts to provide for proper zoning for residential, commercial and industrial areas, control on slums and urban sprawl, design and development of civic amenities (such as sewerage and waste disposal) and development of Master Plans for important urban areas in their respective States. The provisions of the Acts generally regulate the following principal issues related to urban development:

Declaration of Planning Areas and constitution of Planning and Development Authorities;

Formulation and statutory approval of Land Use and Development Control Plan; Manage the development of land according to Land Use and Development Control

Plans; Power to acquire land for urban development under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894; Levy penalty for unauthorized development in nonconformity with plans.

The proposed project conforms to provisions of the State level Acts and local bylaws.

3.6 Air Quality The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 including Rules 1982 and 1983 was enacted to prevent, control and reduce air and noise pollution. According to Section 21 of the Act, no person shall establish or operate any activity, which can cause air pollution without obtaining Consent to Establish (CTE) as per the Air Act. The Act also lays down national ambient air quality standards for common pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Lead (Pb) with the intent of managing air quality for different category of areas (residential, industrial and sensitive). The EPR also specifies source emission standards determined on the basis of the impact of pollutants on human health, vegetation and property for activities, which can pollute the air. The project would not contribute much to air pollution, The relevant standards are presented in Annexure 3.3. The SPCBs, on a case to basis, can also make the emission standards more stringent on the considerations of the carrying capacity of a specific air shed and the existing pollution levels of ambient air quality.




It may be noted that normally the CTE for the Air and Water Act is provided in the form of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the project proponent when the project falls under the 32 categories of activities covered by the EIA notification.

3.7 Noise Level With the objective of regulating ambient noise level in the environment, the Central Government has notified the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, dated 26th December 1989 and amended in February 14, 2000 under the EPA. The noise standards for different category of areas is based on the “A” weighted equivalent noise level (Leq) are as presented in Annexure 3.4. Noise standards in the work environment (would be relevant for construction phase of the project) are specified by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, USA), which in turn are being enforced by Government of India through model rules framed under the Factories Act and Rules. The standards are presented in Appendix - IV. The EPR also lays down equipment specific noise emission standards for Air conditioners and Construction Equipment, which would be in use for the proposed project. Specific standards for control of noise from traffic and other sources and measures to be taken for reduction of noise by using acoustic treatment, exhaust muffler have also been specified through the Environment (Protection) Second Amendment Rules, 2002 notified through notification GSR 371 (E) on 17th May, 2002.

3.8 Solid and Hazardous Waste Management A monitoring committee (see section 7), would be responsible for collection and handling of domestic solid waste to an approved waste disposal site as per the provisions of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. The following provisions would apply to the project:

Organize collection of solid wastes through any of the methods, like community bin collection (central bin), building to building collection, collection on regular pre-informed timings and scheduling.

Ensure that bio-medical and other hazardous wastes are not mixed with municipal solid wastes and that such wastes follow the rules (the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Amendment Rules, 2016 and the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2016) separately specified for the purpose;

Separately collect and dispose horticultural, construction and demolition waste in accordance with local legislation, bylaws or directives issued by the authorities concerned.

Organize awareness programmes in cooperation with the municipality for segregation of wastes, promote recycling/ reuse of segregated materials and encourage community participation in waste segregation.

Establish storage facilities by taking into account quantities of waste generation in the complexes and locate them in such a way that it is accessible to the residents.

Ensure that such storage facilities are aesthetically acceptable and user-friendly and designed in a way that wastes stored are not exposed. The storage facilities or ‘bins’ should also be of ‘easy to operate’ design for handling, transfer and transportation of waste. Bins for storage of biodegradable wastes shall be painted green, those for storage of recyclable wastes shall be printed white and those for storage of other wastes shall be printed black.

Manual handling of waste shall be prohibited. If unavoidable due to constraints, manual handling shall be carried out under proper precaution with due care for safety of workers.




The Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 require facilities to classify wastes into categories, manage them as per the prescribed guidelines and obtain prior authorization from the SPCB for handling, treatment, storage and disposal of Hazardous Wastes. The project has the potential to generate hazardous waste during its construction and operational phases and such waste generation should be properly monitored and managed. The following kinds of hazardous waste may be generated from the construction phase of the project:

Spent oil and lubricants from construction equipments;

Paint residues during the painting of the buildings;

Asbestos Contaminated Material (ACM) generated from dismantling of temporary housing for construction workers.

3.9 Operation of Motor Vehicles

The Central Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) and Rules, 1989 (MVR) prescribe that vehicles falling in the category of transport vehicles (buses, trucks, taxis and auto rickshaws) undergo an annual fitness certification. The motor vehicle inspectors attached to the State Transport Department generally carry out this function. Additionally, vehicle owners also have to obtain Pollution under Check Certificate (PUCC) from a recognized testing center and display it on their vehicles. Additionally, to address the problem of risk associated with transportation of hazardous substances by road and the consequences of transportation emergencies, should they arise, provisions have been laid down in the MVR. Accordingly, any road carriage involved with the transportation of hazardous goods which can be harmful to human life or which can possibly cause damage to the environment in case of accidents and spillage shall have to comply with the labeling requirements and safety guidance specified in the MVR.

3.10 Institutional Framework Whereas the legislative branch of the government (Parliament) is responsible for the enactment of environmental law and the judiciary for its enforcement in the case of transgression, it is the function of the executive branch (ministries, regional and local authorities) to determine policies and administer environmental law in actual practice. Also, since an environmental dimension has now become a part of all economic activities, an effective mechanism of coordination and control is the responsibility of the central environmental agency so that environmental policies can be translated into action. The Government of India took a major step in 1972 when it constituted the National Committee on Environmental Planning and Coordination (NCEPC). Later in 1980, the Government of India established a new Department of Environment on the recommendation of a committee constituted by the Indian Parliament. The Central and State Pollution Control Boards were set up and entrusted with the task of air and water pollution control in 1974.

3.10.1 Ministry of Environment & Forests In view of the growing importance of environmental affairs, the Government of India set up a Department of Environment in November 1980 under the portfolio of the Prime Minister. The Department later renamed as the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) plays a pivotal role in environmental management for sustained development and for all environmental matters in the country. The major responsibilities of MoEF include:




Environmental resource conservation and protection, including environmental impact assessment of developmental projects;

Co-ordination with the other ministries and agencies, voluntary organizations and professional bodies on environmental action plans;

Policy-planning;

Promotion of research and development, manpower planning and training and creation of environmental awareness;

Liaison and coordination with international agencies involved in environmental matters. Developmental project proponents are also required to submit Environmental Impact Statements/Assessments to establish that installing adequate pollution control and monitoring equipment plan preventive measures, and that effluent discharged into the environment will not exceed permissible levels. The MoEF appraises these statements/assessments and approves the project from the environmental angle. The respective State Pollution Control Board is to give a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before the EIA exercise is undertaken.

3.10.2 Central & State Pollution Control Boards The Central Pollution Control Board is directly responsible for pollution control throughout the national territory. In addition to the control of air, noise and water pollution it is also responsible for to ensure effective control on disposal of hazardous wastes and storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and substances. Additionally, with the enactment of air and water pollution laws, states have set-up their own Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) to monitor industrial emissions and effluents and to approve the operation of new industries after careful scrutiny. The functions of the SPCBs include:

The planning of comprehensive state programs for the prevention and control of air and water pollution and to ensure the implementation thereof.

Inspection of control equipment, industrial plants, etc.

Establishing norms in consultation with the Central Board and having regard to national air quality standards, gaseous emission standards from industrial plants, automobiles, etc. Different emission standards may be laid down for different industrial plants, having regard to the quantity and composition of emissions into the atmosphere from such plants and the general pollution levels in the area;

Advising the State Government on siting of new polluting industry.

3.10.3 Municipalities & the Municipal Corporations The Constitution (74th) Amendment Act of 1994 accorded constitutional status to the urban local bodies (ULBs) and recognized the municipal governments as the third tier of governance. While prescribing a uniform local governance structure that can be applicable across the country, it provides a framework for elected local governments for their effective functioning to ensure provisions of urban services and infrastructure. With the objective of bringing about a basic shift from the existing a “top down” management system to a “bottom up” decentralized and participatory planning approach, the amendment also provided for constitution of Ward Committees in municipalities with a population of more than 300,000 people, Metropolitan Planning Committees and District Planning Committees for consolidation and preparation of plans for spatial, social and economic development. The Amendment Act also provided for




devolution of financial powers from the state government for strengthening of municipal finances. The 12th Schedule of the 74th Amendment Act lists eighteen functions and responsibilities to be carried out by the ULBs including public health, sanitation, conservancy and solid waste management related activities.

3.11 Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) Commercial/Residential building sector in India is expanding rapidly at over 9% per year spurred largely by the strong growth in the services sector. Electricity consumption in the commercial sector in India at present accounts for about 8% of the total electricity supplied by the Electricity Utilities, and has been growing annually at about 11-12%. This is mainly attributed to the increasing energy intensiveness of newly constructed commercial buildings; Several studies in the country have shown that energy efficiency is not getting adequate attention when the new buildings are designed. Incorporation of energy efficiency provisions at the design stage of the new buildings is critical and so will be made mandatory by Ministry of Power by 2012 for all new buildings.– Better to be proactive than keeping in view the Energy Conservation Act 2001 (EC Act), Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) with technical support from USAID under its Energy Conservation and Commercialization (ECO) Project, has developed Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC) Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). ECBC, considering five climatic zones in India, sets the minimum energy performance standards for large commercial buildings that have a connected load of 500 kW or greater or a contract demand of 600 kVA or more, having conditioned area of 1000 sq. m. or more. Annual energy consumption in the conditioned commercial buildings in the country is estimated to be about 200 kWh or more per sq. m of floor area. Electricity consumption in ECBC compliant buildings can be brought down to 120-160 kWh per sq. m., showing energy saving potential of 20- 40 % depending on the hours of building use during the day, climatic conditions, etc. Ministry of Power, Government of India launched ECBC 2007 on 27 May 2007 for its implementation in commercial buildings on voluntary basis all over India, with a view to make this mandatory in the next couple of years depending upon the experience gained during the voluntary period. ECBC encourages energy efficiency for all building components and systems such as building envelope, lighting, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), service water heating, and electric power and motors within the building facilities, while enhancing the thermal and visual comforts and productivity of the occupants. ECBC mandates/prescribes U-factor and R values of insulation assembly for five climatic zones in India, Solar Heat Gain Coefficients and Visible Light Transmission levels for fenestration, energy efficiency levels of air conditioning systems, and number of other parameters for ECBC compliance in commercial buildings. In this context, good understanding of ECBC features and application of several developed products and technologies could play an important role in improving energy efficiency in the buildings, leading to energy cost savings for the building owners/users.

3.12 Manual on norms & standards for large construction projects The manual has been development by Ministry of Environment and Forests, GoI to assist the developers and project proponents measures and quantify environmental impacts of proposed




construction, and derive mitigation options to minimize impacts. The manual also shall enable evaluation of construction projects by the expert appraisal committee. The proponent have use mitigation options, other than the ones described in the manual, to mitigate environmental impacts of the project. The manual provides a range of environmental issues that had been considered in assessing the environmental impacts of projects and how to identify and assess the issues pertaining to the project. The measures are suggestive and intended to assist project specific environmental management practices. The manual details out the submittals required to fulfill requirements of EC Application (Form 1 and 1A). This manual also comprises of a list of mandatory and expected criteria that needs to be adopted in a project for getting necessary clearance from regulatory authority

4.8 SOIL QUALITY 4.8.1 Soil characteristics

Impacts on land environment from construction activities can be mainly attributed to disposal of solid/hazardous waste and discharge of wastewater either onto land (direct impacts) or into water bodies, which are also used as irrigation water resources (indirect impacts). Moreover impacts on land/vegetation are also expected due to fallout of air pollutants. Accordingly for environmental impact assessment it is pertinent to study the characteristics of soil, the resulting changes in soil due to disposal of harmful substances on land and the resultant behaviour of the surrounding soil environment.

The soils in the region are sandy clay loam in texture and were deposited in the earlier times with no recurring deposits in present time. The pre project status with respect to soil characteristics (physical, chemical and bacteriological), land use pattern in the impact zone around the project site forms the baseline status of the land environment. The basic consideration for designing soil quality surveillance program include

Physical and chemical properties of the area;

Erosion potential;

Storm water run-off quality;

Agricultural productivity of land;

Soil quality analysis has been done in one location at project site i.e. project site, to assess the soil condition in the project influenced area and soil analysis was carried out as per guidelines of USDA and IS: 2720. The average analysis report of soil sample is presented in Table-4.5 In order to understand the physico-chemical properties of the region, soil sample was taken for one season i.e. post monsoon. Soil quality monitoring location are shown in Figure-4.5.

4.8.1.1 Observations

Soil of the area is slightly alkaline with its pH value 7.9. The baseline concentrations of important parameters like nitrogen content, potassium content

and phosphate etc were evaluated in the study area. The soils in the region are primarily sandy in texture.

4.9 Seismicity

Based on the tectonic features and records of earthquake, a Seismic Zoning map has been developed for the country by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). The area under study falls under seismic Zone-IV (refer Figure-4.6) and thereby almost stable in nature. However suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions will be adopted while designing the structures. Seismicity of the proposed site will be taken into consideration during designing of the structural components of the development in the construction phase. The depth of the foundation, footing of the structural components, the bending moment calculations shall adhere to the criteria of seismic load. Necessary seismic factors, suggested by Indian Meteorology Department (IMD IS1893-Part I, 2002) shall be incorporated suitably, while designing the structures to safeguard against earthquake risks.

4.10 AIR ENVIRONMENT Assessment of prevailing ambient air quality status in the vicinity of proposed project site is an important part of environmental impact assessment study. The tropical climatic conditions, especially monsoon winds prevailing in India mainly control the transport and dispersion of air pollutants during different seasons. According to the Indian climatology, for all practical purposes in air pollution studies, there are three seasons in a year, viz. winter, summer and post-monsoon. Significant changes are observed in predominant winds and weather conditions during these seasons (seasonal variation) apart from the local topographical influences, which ultimately control the air pollution impacts.

The baseline studies for air environment covers reconnaissance, identification of specific air pollutants expected to have impacts from the proposed project and assessing their prevailing levels in ambient air at representative locations within the core study area (500 m) around the project site.

During the construction phase of the project, the following pollutant is anticipated to emitted: PM10, PM2.5 from all construction activities.

During the operational phase of the project, the following pollutants are anticipated to be emitted: NOx, PM10, PM2.5 and CO from vehicle exhaust within the project site and on the sector

road adjacent to the site NOx, PM10, PM2.5,, CO and SO2 from diesel generator

Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind blows and is based on surface observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows in all directions with varying frequencies. Certain directions, which occur more frequently than others, are known as the prevailing wind directions. Pollutant concentrations typically decrease with increasing wind speed as a result of dispersion. However, when wind speeds are high, while there is good dispersion of gases and particles, there is more potential for re-suspending surface dusts. Wind speed near zero, indicating low turbulence and may lead to very high pollutant concentrations near the ground. Wind speed increases with height as surface friction reduces. Ground level pollutant concentration is inversely proportional to the wind speed. Hence, during the higher wind speed month, the ground level pollutant concentration would be less and vice. The wind data has been obtained from nearest IMD station for the period 1993-2002. The Analysis of wind records during 1993 – 2002 shows that the winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It can be seen that the annual mean wind speed varies from 3.9 to 9.4 Km/h. The strongest winds are observed during the months of May – June i.e. Summer Season and the weakest during October – November. The monthly mean values of the various




meteorological parameters for the period 1993-2002 and Year-wise monthly mean value from year 2000 to 2005 are presented in Table 4.13

4.12 Atmospheric stability

The amount of turbulence in the ambient air has a major effect upon the rise and dispersion of air pollutant plumes. The amount of turbulence can be categorized into defined increments or "stability classes". The most commonly used categories are the Pasquill stability classes A, B, C, D, E, and F. Class A denotes the most unstable or most turbulent conditions and Class F denotes the most stable or least turbulent conditions. The frequency of stability classes during the monitoring period is provided in Table 4.15.

Stability Class Frequency (%)

A – Extremely Unstable 18.6

B – Unstable 16.3

C – Slightly Unstable 5.8





D – Neutral 6.5

E – Slightly Stable 12.1

F – Stable to Extremely Stable 40.7

TABLE-4.15: FREQUENCY OF STABILITY CLASSES

The data indicate that during the monitoring period, the site exhibited trends of primarily stable to extremely stable conditions. Stable conditions exhibit poor vertical mixing, and low levels of contaminant dispersion. Use of this stability data for modeling purposes will produce higher concentrations of pollutants at a given receptor (i.e. more conservative results).

4.13 Mixing height Mixing Height (MH) is the vertical extent through which the contaminant plume can be mixed. Forecasting of mixing height is done with the aid of the vertical temperature profile. The MH is a function of stability. In unstable air, the MH is higher and in stable air the MH is lower. With a lower MH, there is a smaller volume of air in which the pollutant can be dispersed, resulting in higher concentrations in the ambient environment. There is a seasonal variation of MH. During summer daylight hours, MH can be few thousand feet whereas for winter it can be a few hundred feet. It varies also in the course of a day. It is lowest at night and increases during the day.

4.14 Averaged Meteorological Data

The meteorology of the area plays an important role in the air quality surveillance programmes. The micrometeorological parameters regulate the transport and diffusion of pollutants into the atmosphere. The Meteorological study has been carried at the project site for one season i.e. Oct, 2018 to Dec, 2018. The measurements of wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and rainfall are important parameters used in the study of air quality monitoring results and to further understand the chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere. Meteorological monitoring is used to predict air pollution events such as inversions, high pollutant concentration days.

4.15 Windrose Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period (Oct, 2018 to Dec, 2018) is useful in identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the collected meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions are calculated and plotted as wind roses of eight directions viz., N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW for eight hourly and twenty four hour duration respectively. Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage relative humidity were recorded simultaneously. A windrose has been plotted for average of 24 hours for 3 successive months that shows the predominant wind direction and has been presented in Figure-4.10.

Wind direction is North – West Wind speed was in the range of 5.7- 8.8 m/s. During the construction and operation phase of proposed project, air pollution causing agents can be vehicular movement and occasional use of DG sets. Stacks for DG sets will be provided with proper height as per CPCB Guidelines and emissions from DG sets will meet the stipulated norms as per NAAQS.

4.16 Ambient Air Quality

The prime objective of collecting baseline air quality data is to assess the ambient air quality of the project influenced area. Ambient air quality monitoring locations were selected based on the representation of population, material and ecosystem exposure monitoring for the pollutants emitted from the project and the compliance monitoring for compliance of National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Standards. The baseline study of air quality within the project-influenced area of 10 km has been carried out by selecting the monitoring locations based on the following criteria:

Meteorological condition on a synoptic scale

Topography of the project influenced area

Representation of the regional background levels

Representation of the site

Influence of the existing sources

Major human settlement in the project influenced area Ambient air quality monitoring (24 hrs –average result for monitoring period) has been carried out during one season i.e. Oct, 2018 to Dec, 2018 at 05 locations. The parameters for air quality were selected as per the stipulated National Ambient Air Quality standards, MoEF&CC and these were Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µg/m3 (PM2.5), Particulate Matter less than 10 µg/m3 (PM10), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) etc. were monitored and average results are as tabulated in Table-4.16. Map showing the ambient air quality monitoring locations is shown in Figure-4.11.

4.16.1 Observations

It is observed that PM 10 and PM 2.5 exceed at all locations. All other parameters are found within the NAAQS limits as specified by CPCB.

4.17 Water Environment

Water environment consists of water resources such as ground water, ponds, streams, rivers etc. Water quality assessment is one of the essential components of EIA study. Such assessment helps in evaluating the existing health of water body and suggesting appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the potential impact from development projects. Water quality of ground water has been studied in order to assess proposed water- drinking, and horticulture purpose. During the survey samples of water within the periphery of 10 km. radius were analyzed.

4.17.1 Water Quality In order to assess the existing water quality, ground water sample was collected from nearby project site and analyzed as per standard methods for examination of water and wastewater published by American Public Health Association/ American Water Works Association and the




Bureau of Indian Standards (APHA/ AWWA & BIS) and compared with permitted desirable standards set by BIS (IS 10500: 1991). The surface and ground water monitoring locations have been shown in Figure-4.13. The important surface water parameters were analyzed and the average results are produced in Table-4.18 & Table-4.29.

4.18 Noise Environment

The noise level prevailing at a particular location in the outdoor environment is contributed by all kinds of sources at various distances around that location. Continuous, temporal and spatial variations occur in ambient noise levels depending on the type of surrounding activities. The impact of noise on the health of individual depends on physical dose of noise viz. noise level, frequency, intermittency etc. and human factors viz. sex, age, health status, type of activity, occupational exposure etc. The intensity also depends on psychological and physiological state of individuals. The impact due to noise does undergo seasonal variations except some directional changes depending upon the predominant wind direction. Noise levels have been measured for five locations. The baseline study of noise levels in the study area of 10 km has been carried out by selecting the noise monitoring locations based on the following criteria:

Source of noise

Proximity of the noise generating source to the human settlements

Exposure time

Time-scaled dose response ratio of individual receptor

4.18.1 Noise Quality Unwanted noise and unpleasant sounds are generally classified as noise pollution. Normally a person begins to identify sounds when a level of 10 to 15 dB is reached. The other end of the scale is known as the threshold of pain (140 dB), or the point at which the average person experiences pain. Noise is generally measured in frequency-weighted scales and noise quality measurements are generally represent in the ‘A’ level and reported as dB (A). Methodology of Background Noise Quality Monitoring A site–specific background noise quality monitoring program was conducted for the existing project site.




The basic considerations for designing noise quality surveillance programme include: Vehicle Movement Within the Impact Zone Activities in surrounding villages / settlements/nearby areas Ecologically Sensitive Locations

Based on the above mentioned criteria, noise monitoring was conducted at 05 locations within the impact zone. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements were automatically recorded to give the noise level for every hour, continuously for 24 hours in a day. Accordingly one full day (i.e. 24 hourly values) of data was collected at each of the locations. The standards of equivalent noise levels viz. Leq-day and Leq-night, have been prescribed by the CPCB as given in Table-4.20.

Table-4.20: Ambient Noise Standards as per CPCB

Area Code Category of Area/ Zone Limits in dB(A) Leq*

Day Time Night Time

(A) Industrial area 75 70

(B) Commercial area 65 55

(C) Residential area 55 45

(D) Silence Zone 50 40

1. Day time shall mean from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. 2. Night-time shall mean from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. 3. Silence zone is defined as an area comprising not less than 100 m around hospitals, educational institutions and courts. The silence zones are zones, which are declared as such by the competent authority. Noise levels were calculated using the following equation:

Where Li = levels observed at n equally spaced times during interval T.

4.18.2 Sources of Noise Emissions Surrounding the Site

The major source of noise in the site surrounding area is the vehicular movement along Southern peripheral road and construction activities in the vicinity of the site. The impacts from these sources are expected to be captured in the levels of noise measured in the site-specific background noise monitoring study.

4.18.3 Noise Level in the Project Influence Area

The hourly noise levels were recorded for one season i.e. Oct, 2018 to Dec, 2018. Baseline monitoring of noise was carried out at five selected monitoring locations for 24 hours considering. The monitoring average results have been summarized in the Table-4.21. Map showing the noise quality monitoring locations with coordinate are shown in Figure-4.14.

Moderate Negative Impact

5.3 Impacts Due to Project Location 5.3.1 Displacement of People

Since, the project and its associated activities are limited to acquired and approved area of 52160 sq m and is free from encroachment, and ready for development of project in all respect. Rehabilitation and resettlement activity has already been done during previous Environment Clearance. No portion of the site comes under forest/ reserve forest or agricultural land.




5.3.2 Change of Land use

The development in the entire project influenced area is as per the local development plan of DDA, hence there will be no change in designated land use. The plot of project will be developed as per the local building by-laws.

5.3.3 Landscaping and Shelterbelt Development

Tree cutting is involved in this project. There are 79 trees are available on site. Out of which 20 trees will be cut for which permission from Forest Department has been obtained & 59 trees will be retained. Compensatory plantation will be done per norms of Forest Department. Under landscaping and tree plantation 19627.04 sqm of Plot Area has been provided for development of green area.

5.3.4 Impact on Archaeological Property

There are no anthropological or archaeological sites or artefacts located near the project site. Since all the activities related to project during construction or operational stage shall be confined to the designated site, and the nature and magnitude of the activities is envisaged to be temporary and insignificant, hence no major or long term impact to any archaeological property is anticipated.

5.4 Impact Due To Project Construction 5.4.1 Pressure on Local Infrastructure

During the construction stage, demand for basic amenities, such as water, power etc., for the construction labour will take place. Thus, the proposed project is supposed to have benefic ial impacts along with the requirement of construction activities, put pressure on the existing infrastructure. Considering the nature of the project, impact shall be short term and low in magnitude and are limited to construction phase only.

5.4.2 Denudation & Contamination of Soil

The major problem associated with the construction project is the excavation of soil. Quantities of earthwork involved in cutting, filling, etc. The soil has been collected separately and preserved in stacks with side slopes not exceeding 1:5. The topsoil (soil on the top 20 cm depth) will be collected & preserved separately in a stack covered by tarpaulin. Efforts will be made to reinstate the soil for backfilling purposes. Topsoil will be reused for horticultural areas.

The spillage of oil from the machinery or cement residue from concrete mixer plants might contaminate the soil if not properly collected and disposed off. Thus most stringent safety and construction management norm will be implemented at site.

5.4.3 Impact on Water Quality

Since all construction related activities will be confined to the enclosed construction area, no major impacts on the water bodies present in project influenced area are anticipated. Whatever




impact due to accidental spills or due to bad construction practice, will be short term and low in magnitude and confined to the construction period only.

Construction & development of site Development of the proposed site could lead to stockpiling and excavation activity on site, thereby causing erosion of base soil. The runoff from the site may contain high quantity of suspended solids (SS). The impact of runoff may not be very significant except during rainy season. Further construction of garland drains will reduce the runoff from the stockpiles.

Site workshop The repair and maintenance of equipments/ vehicles on site would generate waste containing oil and grease. The wastewater stream would also be generated from vehicle washing. The impact can be mitigated to a great extent by installing oil and grease traps during construction phase.

Construction of roads & parking areas The impact from the road construction depends on both the construction practices and the type of material used. Construction waste of electrical installation, DG sets, painting and flooring is likely to create significant impact. This type of waste would be stock piled and disposed properly.

Labour Colony During construction phase, wastewater shall be generated from labour colony. High levels of BOD, SS, Nitrogen and E. Coli would characterize wastewater generated. Significant water quality impact will occur. The sewage generated from mobile toilets will be treated in mobile STP and treated water will be used for sprinkling on roads for dust suppression.

5.4.4 Impact on Air Quality

Potential impacts on the air quality during the construction stage will be due to the fugitive dust and the exhaust gases generated in and around the construction site due to vehicular movement and DG set operations.

Dust is major component of air pollution, generated mainly from the following construction activities:

Site clearance and use of heavy vehicles and machinery / equipment etc. at construction site;

Storage & Handling of construction materials such as sand, cement, etc. at the construction site;

Other gaseous emissions during construction resulting from operating of construction vehicles, plant, equipment, and DG set.

The impacts will be short term and limited in nature. Selection of appropriate location of plant and machinery and their regular maintenance shall minimize such impacts.




5.4.5 Noise Pollution

Noise is perceived as one of the most undesirable consequences of construction activity. Though the level of discomfort caused by noise is subjective, the most commonly reported impacts of increased noise levels are interference in verbal communication and disturbance in sleep.

Due to the various construction activities, there will be short-term adverse noise impacts in the immediate vicinity of the project corridor. The construction activities include:

Operation of DG sets, concreting and mixing Excavation for foundations with excavator (if used); Construction plant and heavy vehicle movement. Piling and hammering activities

The areas affected are those close to the project site. At the peak of construction, marginal increase in the noise level is expected to occur.

Table-5.3: Typical Noise Levels from Construction Equipment

Description Typical Noise Level Range , dB (A)

Reference Distance, m

Front loaders 72-84 1.0

Backhoes 72-93 1.0

Tractors 76-96 1.0

Scrapers, Graders 80-93 1.0

Pavers 86-88 1.0

Trucks (>1200 cc) 82-94 1.0

Concrete mixers 75-88 1.0

Concrete pumps 81-88 1.0

Crane (moveable) 75-86 1.0

Crane (derrick) 86-88 1.0

Pumps 69-71 1.0

Compressors 74-86 1.0

Overall, the impact of noise on the environment will be insignificant, reversible and mainly confined to the day hours. Noisy construction activities will be carried during the day time only and this will effectively reduce the night time ambient noise level.

As per best practice all the noise generating activities shall be undertaken during day hours and enclosure shall be provided wherever applicable to further minimize noise pollution. These impacts will be short term during construction phase, with provision of proper enclosures for high noise generation sources and use of proper personal protective devices i.e. ear plug and ear muff will marginalize the impact.

Mathematical modeling is carried out for 10 DG sets (06X625+1X380+3X320). These DG sets are assumed to be operating for four hours in day during peak loads i.e. two hours in morning and two hours in evening.




5.4.6 Traffic Congestion/ Increase

Parking Provisions: Parking for 2116 ECS will be provided. Adequate parking space is provided within the project site on surface, stilt/podium, multilevel car parking and in basements.

Internal Road: Adequate parking space is provided within the project site on surface, stilt/podium, multilevel car parking and in basements.

5.4.7 Public health and safety measures to be adopted during construction

Construction related activities will be confined only to project site area, hence no health related impact are envisaged within the project influenced area during the construction stage and will be limited to occupant levels.

At the project site about 280 workers shall be engaged in the construction activities, direct exposure to dust generation and high noise generation sources likely to cause occupant health related impact such as asthma, bronchitis and noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) etc. on the construction workers. In order to offset such effects the following measures will be adopted. Layout of Construction Camp A conceptual layout of a typical construction site has been presented in Figure-5.1. The contractor during the progress of work will provide, erect and maintain necessary (temporary) living accommodation and ancillary facilities for worker upto a certain standard and scale as approved by the engineer. All temporary accommodation must be constructed and maintained in such a manner that uncontaminated water is available for drinking, cooking and washing. Safe drinking water should be provided to the dwellers of the construction camps. Adequate washing and bathing places shall be provided, and kept in clean and drained condition. Construction camps are to be sited away from vulnerable people and adequate health care is to be provided for the work force. Sanitation Facilities Construction camps shall be provided with adequate number of sanitary latrines and urinals. Sewerage drains should be provided for the flow of used water outside the camp. Drains and ditches should be treated with bleaching powder on a regular basis. The sewage system for the camp must be properly designed, built and operated so that no health hazard occurs and no pollution to the air, ground or adjacent watercourses takes place. Compliance with the relevant legislation must be strictly adhered to. Garbage bins must be provided in the camp and regularly emptied and the garbage disposed off in a hygienic manner. Shelter at Workplace At every workplace, there shall be provided free of cost, four suitable shelters, two for meals and two others for rest, separately for use of men and women workers.

Proper drinking water, sanitation and first aid facility will be provided at the construction site, as specified above, with trained shift supervisors, which will ensure minimum adverse occupational health impacts on the construction worker.




5.4.8 Socio-economic Impacts

As local labours will be hired from the vicinity of the project site, initial conflict is not envisaged. As far as possible local labour within the project influenced area shall be utilized for the construction purpose and all the activities related to construction worker shall be confined to the project site only, hence no adverse social impacts are envisaged due to the proposed project. Children below 14 will not be appointed for construction.

5.5 Impacts Due To Project Operation

During the Operation phase, there might be impacts on the air, water and land environment and socio-economic aspects. The subsequent sections present the adverse, beneficial, short term and long term impacts due to the operation of the proposed project.

5.5.1 Air Environment

Air pollution can cause significant effects on the ambient environment, and subsequently on humans, animals, vegetation and materials. It primarily affects the respiratory (e.g. by fine dust), circulatory (e.g. by carbon monoxide) and olfactory (e.g. by odors) systems in humans. In most cases, air pollution aggravates pre-existing diseases or degrades health status, making people more susceptible to other infections or the development of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Environmental impacts from air pollution can include acidic deposition and reduction in visibility. Assessment of prevailing ambient air quality status in the vicinity of proposed project site is an important part of environmental impact assessment study. The tropical climatic conditions, especially winds prevailing in India mainly control the dispersion of air pollutants during different seasons. According to the Indian climatology, for all practical purposes in air pollution studies, there are three seasons in a year, viz. winter, pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. For the quantitative assessment of the environmental impact on the ambient air environment during these seasons, atmospheric dispersion modelling is required.

Atmospheric dispersion modelling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that solve the mathematical equations and algorithms which simulate the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate or to predict the concentration of air pollutants emitted from sources on the desired area. Such models are important to governmental agencies tasked with protecting and managing the ambient air quality. The models are typically employed to determine whether the ambient air quality level due to proposed project will compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or not. Over and above models also serve to assist in the design of effective control strategies to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants.

1. Methodology For the proposed atmospheric dispersion modelling study, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved and also recommended by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF&CC), Government of India, regulatory air quality model Airmode is applied to predict ground level incremental concentrations (GLCs) of concerned critical pollutants. Prior




to air quality modelling exercise, meteorological condition during one season over project site is extensively studied. Concentrations are estimated for the critical pollutants assessed over appropriate averaging times (i.e. 8 hours and 24 hours) based on the applicability of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

2. Meteorology Meteorology is the fluid mechanics applied to the atmosphere. Meteorological conditions play an important role in determining existing air quality and environmental conditions. The essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersion involves the wind in the broadest sense of the term. Wind fluctuations over a very wide range of time and space scales accomplish dispersion and strongly influence other processes associated with them. The characterization of the existing meteorological conditions near a source of pollutants is, therefore, a critical aspect for assessing air quality in the ambient environment. For the rapid air quality impact assessment meteorological data for the desired season/period over the project region are used for air quality modelling. The following subsections describe the prime meteorological parameters during the observation period which govern the dispersion of pollutants.

3. Atmospheric stability A measure of the tendency of air to move upward or downward within the atmosphere generates turbulence. The atmosphere may be more or less turbulent at any given time, depending on the amount of incoming solar radiation as well as other factors. There are six defined Pasquill atmospheric stability classes, from A to F, each representing a different degree of turbulence in the atmosphere. When moderate to strong incoming solar radiation heats air near the ground, causing it to rise and generating large eddies, the atmosphere is considered unstable. Unstable conditions are associated with atmospheric stability classes A, B and C. In this stability class air has strong tendency to move up or down, and the atmosphere is more turbulent. When solar radiation is relatively weak or absent, air near the surface has reduced tendency to rise and less turbulence develops. In this case, the atmosphere is considered stable, the wind is weak, and the stability class would be E or F. Stability classes D represents conditions of neutral stability (moderately turbulent). Neutral conditions are associated with relatively strong wind speeds and moderate solar radiation. The frequency of stability classes during the study period is provided in Table-5.4.

Table-5.4: Frequency of Stability Classes

Stability Class Frequency (%)

A – Extremely Unstable 5.5

B – Unstable 23.6

C – Slightly Unstable 12.9

D – Neutral 9.0

E – Slightly Stable 15.1

F – Stable 33.9

This data indicates that over the monitoring period, the site exhibits trends of stable atmospheric conditions with 33.9% time during monitoring period. Stable conditions exhibit poor vertical mixing, and low levels of contaminant dispersion. Use of this stability data for modeling purposes will produce higher concentrations of pollutants at a given receptor (i.e. more conservative results).




4. Mixing height Mixing Height (MH) is the vertical extent through which the contaminant plume can be mixed. Forecasting of mixing height is done with the aid of the vertical temperature profile. The MH is a function of stability. In unstable air the MH is higher and in stable air the MH is lower. With a lower MH, there is a smaller volume of air in which the pollutant can be dispersed, resulting in higher concentrations in the ambient environment. There is a seasonal variation of MH. During summer daylight hours, MH can be few thousand feet whereas for winter it can be a few hundred feet. It varies also in the course of a day. It is lowest at night and increases during the day. Secondary information has been used to determine the mixing height over the study region for the study period (Oct, 2018 – Dec, 2018) and it varies from 50-2500 meters (IMD).

5.6 Potential Air Environment Impact Assessment

During operation phase of project 10 no. of DG sets (06X625+1X380+3X320) will be expected as the main air pollution sources during. DG sets will be expected to run as back-up power supply during power failure. Thus, for air quality modeling study, it is assumed that the DG sets will be operated as on average four hours (0900-1200 Hrs) during daytime and four hours (1900-2200 Hrs) in the evening time per day. PM, SO2, NOx and CO will be expected as prime criteria air pollutants during the operation phase of the project. The isopleths showing the concentration of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and CO are shown in Figure-5.2 through Figure-5.6 respectively. Modeling result envisages that incremental ground level concentrations of modeled pollutants during operation phase of proposed project during the operation phase are negligible. The resultant concentration level of SO2, NOx and CO pollutants are expected to be well within the NAAQS.

Table-5.5: Resultant Concentration Level of Pollutants 5.7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Any unpleasant sound is classified as noise pollution. Sound possesses three definite properties: intensity, frequency and duration. Intensity is the loudness of a sound, or the pressure it exerts through the ear. It is measured in decibels (dB). In assessing noise, a special measurement empirical parameter called "dB (A)" is used to assess the impacts on the human ear. The higher the dB (A) number, the greater is the risk of damage to hearing. Loud noise may adversely affect people in many ways. For example noise may interfere with sleep, speech, communication and can cause annoyance and other physiological problems. Occupational noise exposure, is also the most common cause of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), threatens the hearing loss among the individuals exposed to noise pollution for longer periods of time, at a less intense level.

5.7.1 Noise Impact Assessment The assessment of the impacts of noise on the surrounding community depends upon:

Characteristics of noise source (instantaneous, intermittent, or continuous in nature)

Time of day at which noise occurs

Location of noise source with respect to noise receptor For an approximate estimation of propagation of noise in the ambient air from the area or point source, a standard mathematical model for sound wave propagation used is as follows: Noise (Receptor) = Noise (Source) - 20 Log [distance (Receptor) / distance (Source)] For the modeling purposes, terrain is considered flat and there are no sound absorptive materials are present in the direction of the sound wave propagation so as to formulate the worst-case scenario. For the modeling purposes, terrain is considered flat and there are no sound absorptive materials are present in the direction of the sound wave propagation so as to formulate the worst-case scenario. For predicting noise emissions impacts due to proposed project, the noise emission sources are examined during both construction and operational phases. The noise levels during both distinct phases are predicted using the CPCB approved noise model DHAWANI applicable for stationary point sources.

5.7.2 Construction Phase

The project is expected to have large scale construction activities. Sources of noise emissions are expected from various construction equipments. The major noise generating sources envisaged during construction phase and their typical noise level value are given in Table-5.6.

5.8 WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL

The estimated wastewater generation during the operation phase from entire project will be 1506 KLD, which shall be treated in onsite sewage treatment plant (STP) of capacity 1805 KLD. The STP will be provided with primary, secondary and tertiary treatment facilities and is based on MBBR technology. The schematic flow diagram of the STP is shown as Figure-5.7.

About 1205 KLD of treated effluent will be generated, out of which 560 KLD of treated water shall be used in gardening, DG cooling, HVAC & flushing purposes. This will reduce the domestic water demand efficiently. Regular maintenance check shall be carried out by the project proponent staff. Hence no major adverse impact on the water environment is envisaged. Surplus treated water, i.e., 645 KLD shall be shall be discharged into the Public Sewer after getting prior permission from the concerned authority. Sludge generated from the STP will be domestic in nature. Total volume of the sludge will be approx. 996 kg/day. The digested sludge will be stored in a room with RCC bottom and will be disposed off later on as manure in horticulture.

Figure-5.7: Schematic flow diagram of STP proposed




5.8.1 Solid Waste The proposed project will use effective sustained eco-friendly waste management systems that will have no negative impact on the environment. During Construction Phase: Topsoil will be separately stacked under tarpaulin cover and reused for landscape. Excavated earth will be reused for grading, backfilling, road construction etc Workers handling the solid waste shall be provided with protective gear During Operational Phase Solid Waste As per the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO)

Manual on municipal solid waste, the estimated quantity of solid waste generation from the entire project during operation phase is 12.65 TPD.

The solid waste will comprise of biodegradable waste e.g. domestic waste, food waste, horticultural waste etc. and recyclable waste, like plastic, paper, tin, glass etc.

Different colored bins will be used for collection of biodegradable and non biodegradable waste as per SW rules, 2016.

Bio-degradable wastes will be composted in onsite organic waste converter. Non-biodegradable fraction like plastic, tin, glass etc. will be sold to local recyclers Horticultural waste shall be collected and disposed off with biodegradable waste. Rest inert Hazardous Waste Generation (DG Waste Oil) will be handed over to municipal

corporation for final disposal 5.8.2 Hazardous Waste

5.9 Socio Economic Impacts 5.9.1 Induced Development

This section discusses the project activities and the extent of the potential impacts anticipated from these. Based on the nature and type of impacts, the assessment has been divided into three category i.e. positive, negative and negligible impacts. For example the positive impacts are: job creation for men and women, better utilization of land, preservation of environment, and infrastructure development. Long term impacts have taken into account i.e. relocation,




demography, aesthetics, accessing utilities, and impact on archaeological sites. Negative impacts include adverse impacts on health, air pollution including noise, road safety, etc.

5.9.2 Positive Impacts on Infrastructure The operation of the project, provide value addition to the existing infrastructure facility such as, office spaces, public transport, water supply, telecommunications, etc.

Job opportunity: During the social impact assessment process, meetings were held with the neighboring local settlements to listen to their specific concerns. The key question raised by the local community was the employment opportunities that would be generated in the area. The occupational profile of the region is such that the villagers can be a good source of labor during construction phase. This community can look forward to benefit due to more jobs and also better access to utilities. The benefit relate to the direct employment associated with the construction. Considering the increasing emphasis of employment and education in the village, the locals would have the opportunities for administrative or other supervisory jobs, closer to their place of stay. Expenditure incurred by those employed at the project will boost local economy in the village. Jobs would be created for unskilled, semi skilled as well as skilled labor category, for which locals would be given preference and there by the overall development of the region is envisaged.

Benefits to women: The proposed project would generate jobs for the women laborers during construction. Women are also likely to get job during construction phase. This will considerably reduce their travel time and therefore enable them to attend to their children and also other household chores. Increase in Land Value: The prices of the land are likely to increase with the coming up of the project. Hence the proposed project will have beneficial impact.

5.9.3 Negative Impacts on Infrastructure

Traffic and Transport With the construction of the proposed project, the traffic in the area is likely to increase, particularly during the operation phase. The increase in traffic may create congestion, potential delays and inconvenience for pedestrians and residents accessing the localities. However this probability of inconvenience faced due to the movement of trucks during construction phase would be negligible, since the trucks would be allowed to transport construction material during night and non-peak hours. The traffic study and Transportation Management Plan being developed for the project would further reduce the negative impact of the traffic increment during the operation phase. Transient Labor population Laborers for the project would be mostly from surrounding areas. About 280 labors would be working on the site and most of them would be on contract or from the neighboring settlements. No significant pressure on local infrastructure is envisaged if a small percentage of labors settle in and around the site during construction phase.




6.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1 Preamble The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all contractors and subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigation actions to reduce adverse environmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines existing and potential problems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective measures where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors who are charged with the responsibility to manage the project site. The EMP is generally: Prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the MOEF and State Pollution Control

Board; To ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance with the design; A process that confirms proper operation through supervision and monitoring; A system that addresses public complaints during construction and operation of the facility;

and A plan that ensures remedial measures is implemented immediately.

8.0 RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1 Preamble A disaster is a catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and as a result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical, social care and other necessities of life. Disasters can be divided into two main heads. In the first head, the disasters result from natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storm surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, avalanches, landslides, forest fires. The second head includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon the environment. Examples are armed conflict, industrial accidents, radiation accidents, factory fires, explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural collapses, air, sea, rail and road transport accidents and can reach catastrophic dimensions in terms of human loss. There is no set criteria for assessing the gravity of a disaster in the abstract since this depends to a large extent on the physical, economic and social environment in which it occurs. However, all disasters bring in their wake similar consequences that call for immediate action, whether at the local, national or international level, for the rescue and relief of the victims.

8.2 Objectives of Disaster Management Plan (DMP)

Group housing encompasses the lives of a large number of people. It also involves installation of various structures and machineries that meet the comfort and need of its population but may also pose serious threat to the occupants in case of an accident. It is thus considered necessary to carry out a risk assessment and disaster management plan for the project. The Disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of environment, protection of installation, restoration of production and salvage operations in this same order of priorities. For effective implementation of the Disaster Management Plan, it should be widely circulated and personnel training through rehearsals/drills. To tackle the consequences of a major emergency inside the site or immediate vicinity of the site, a Disaster Management Plan has to be formulated and this planned emergency document is called "Disaster Management Plan". The objective of the Disaster Management Plan is to make use of the combined resources of the project site and the outside services to achieve the following:-

Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;

Safeguard other people;

Minimize damage to property and the environment;

Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

Identify any dead;

Provide for the needs of relatives;




Provide authoritative information to the news media;

Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected area;

Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent inquiry into the cause and circumstances of the Emergency.

8.2.1 Risk Hazard & its control measures

It is attempted to plan and construct the buildings following all safety norms. However, it is not always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and random failures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. A detailed Table showing activity during construction and operation phase along with mitigation measures are given in Table-8.1.

8.3.1 Response in case of Earthquake 8.3.1.1 Response Procedures for Occupants

If indoors: 1) Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you. If outdoors: Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. If in a moving vehicle: Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.




After the quake 1) After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.

2) Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring

weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

Help injured or trapped persons. 1) Provide first aid where appropriate and not to move seriously injured persons unless they

are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.

2) Remember to help those first who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

3) Stay out of damaged buildings.

4) Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

8.3.1.2 Response Procedure for Emergency Team 1) Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response.

2) Using the public address system, inform residents of response procedures discussed

above.

3) Inform the necessary authorities for aid.

4) Ensure no person is stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure. 5) Ensure that all occupants standing outside near the buildings are taken to open areas.

6) Ensure that the first aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if necessary.

7) Inform the nearby hospitals if there are any injuries.

8) Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage.

8.3.2 Response in case of Fire

Required response during in the event of a fire should be described in signs located in the

lobby.

On sighting a fire, it should be immediately informed to the facility manager giving the exact location and type of fire in detail.

Initiate the Emergency Response Team for fires.

If the fire is small, engage in extinguishing the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher.




Guide the Emergency Response Team staff to the emergency assembly point.

The Emergency Response Team should immediately inform the nearest dispensary and security force. If required a fire tender should be summoned.

The response team should immediately move to the point of fire and take all necessary steps to stop the fire. If the fire is not controllable and spreads then the manager in charge should inform the district authorities and call for external help.

The Emergency Response Team will provide immediate relief to the injured residents at the scene of incident. Any injured persons should be evacuated on priority to the dispensary or one of the nearest hospitals based on their condition.

8.3.2.1 Instructions for occupants

1) Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible. 2) Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating, stay low to the ground.

3) If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases.

4) Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire.

5) If in a room with a closed door.

6) If smoke is pouring in around the bottom of the door or if it feels hot, keep the door closed.

7) Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue.

8) If there is no smoke at the bottom or top and the door is not hot, then open the door slowly.

9) If there is too much smoke or fire in the hall, slam the door shut.

10) Stay out of damaged buildings.

Adequate fire fighting system is proposed for the project as per norms to prevent and control fire outbreaks. The fire fighting system will consist of portable fire extinguishers, hose reel, wet riser, yard hydrant, automatic sprinkler system for group housing, and manual fire alarm system.

8.4 Resource Conservation

The project will lead to utilization of various natural resources. As an environmentally responsible corporate, the developers endeavor to conserve these resources by judicious management and recycling and strive to build up these resources where possible. Water Resources: The project will not use groundwater resources during both the construction and operation phases of the project. Given the national water scenario, where availability if




fresh water is fast dwindling use of the same cannot be emphasized. Following means are proposed to be adopted for conservation of this life sustaining resource: No withdrawal of groundwater: The project will avail treated STP water for construction purposes and DJB water supply during operational phase. Reduced use of water: To further minimize the use of freshwater, various low flow sanitary fixtures may be provided. Awareness will also be spread amongst the residents for conserving the water. Treatment and Recycling: The sewage generated from the site will be treated in onsite Sewage Treatment Plant. The treated wastewater will be used for flushing, DG cooling, HVAC and landscaping thereby reducing the requirement of freshwater for the project. Rainwater harvesting: It is proposed to harvest this rainwater runoff to recharge the ground aquifer while reducing the burden of storm water management of the city and eventually natural water bodies. Apart from the open spaces, it is proposed to harvest the roof top rainwater. The storm water will be passed through an oil and grease trap and allowed to flow through layers of sand and gravel for filtration prior to reaching ground aquifer.

Construction materials: The project will require various kinds of natural construction materials such as sand, gravel etc. It is proposed for prior estimation of required quantities of these materials and procurement only as per requirement. This will also result in cost-efficiency. Excavated soil from the project site will be used within the site to the extent feasible. Energy: To conserve the energy resources, good practices will be followed during the construction phase such as turning off lights and equipments when not in use, ensuring fuel efficiency of motors and vehicles through proper maintenance and minimal work at night. The principles of energy conservation will also be embedded in the buildings through use of energy efficient fixtures, maximum availability of natural light and use of solar energy for street lighting.

8.5 Resettlement and Rehabilitation

Resettlement and rehabilitation activity has already been done during previous EC.




9.0 ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY

9.1 Use of Environment Friendly Materials

Eco friendly building materials and construction technology will be used for the Project.

a. Use of Ferro Cement: Reducing material use by use of ferro-cement wherever possible. These are energy efficient and also help reduce the dead load of a building.

b. Use of Fly Ash Bricks: Emphasis has been given on using eco friendly materials like fly

ash bricks in this project. There are lot of advantages which fly ash brick and fly ash lime brick enjoys over conventional bricks and are enlisted below:

Cost less to produce – at least 10% less than concrete bricks and 20% less than clay bricks.

Save construction cost – Due to the uniform shape and size of the fly ash brick, it saves labor in laying bricks by about 15%.

Use less energy – High amount of energy is consumed in heating clay bricks in kilns. By using fly ash bricks instead of clay bricks, energy is saved in brick manufacturing.

Reduce air pollution – Fossil fuel is used in heating clay bricks in kilns. Burning such fuel generates air pollution and greenhouse gas (CO2), contributing to global warming. By manufacturing fly ash bricks (at room temperature) instead of clay bricks (at over 2,000 oF), emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gas is avoided at brick plants, which helps to reduce air pollution and global warming.

Cleans indoor air – Recent research has shown that by using fly ash bricks indoors, the bricks adsorb mercury from the indoor air, causing the indoor air to be cleaner than the outdoor air.

c. Use of low VOC emissions such as cement and use of materials that prevent leaching. d. Material that are exceptionally durable, or require low maintenance e.g. PVC pipes will be

used. 9.2 Building Materials

Use of alternative technologies for each component of the buildings of envelope, superstructure, finishes and the road and surrounding areas will follow National Building Code 2016 (N B C - 2016). Some of these are given below:
