Chennai

7) Acknowledgement copy of the CTE application submitted to GPCB

8) Various undertakings as per this Department ' s guidelines

9) EIA report, prepared by the Bhagwati Anna Labs Pvt Limited, Hyderabad

The EIA report prepared by Bhagwati Anna Labs Pvt Limited, Hyderabad includes the

details like Project Description (chapter - 2), Baseline Environment Status( Chapter 3),

Anticipated Environmental Impact and its mitigation measures( Chapter 4 ), Analysis of

Alternatives(Chapter 5), Environmental Monitoring Program(Chapter 6),

Environmental Management Plan(Chapter 8) .The Bhagwati Anna Labs Pvt Ltd has

also included one chapter as Summary and Conclusion(Chapter 10)

The main findings of the EIA report prepared by the Bhagwati Anna Labs Pvt Ltd,

Chennai are summarized as follows:-

!. The project activities include excavation of soil in the ROU for laying of the

pipeline and construction of the pump station/delivery stations. Excavation

activities ('dig-ups ') undertaken to expose a section of pipe requiring repair or

replacement. Excavations are generally performed for corrosion or stress

corrosion cracking (SCC) repair activities, coating refurbishment work,

installation of new anode beds and projects requiring new tie in facilities.

Excavations usually occur on the pipeline easement or in designated compounds

and are a short term, temporary event.

II. Movement of vehicles along the pipeline corridor and associated access tracks.

Vehicles regularly travel along access tracks and the pipeline easement while

undertaking inspection and maintenance activities. Theses unsealed tracks are

predominantly located on station properties where public access is restricted.

III. Storage, use, collection and transport of hydrocarbons and chemicals. A variety of

hydrocarbons and chemicals are used for maintenance activities (e.g. diesel fuel ,

lubricants for machinery, degreasing agents, paints, etc.) . Waste hydrocarbons are

also generated via the collection and removal of product contaminants in the

pipeline (via filters or 'pigging' operations) and maintenance activities on

machinery and vehicles . All waste hydrocarbons are collected and removed for

2

disposal at a licensed waste facility. All maintenance and collection activities are

undertaken in accordance with APA procedures which include spill prevention

measures.

IV. Operation and maintenance of the pipeline may result in potential adverse effects

to soil and terrain like soil inversion and resulting loss in soil fertility or structure,

erosion of disturbed sandy soils and the fine powdery sub-soils, particularly by

wind, erosion of banks and channels of watercourses, compaction of soils and

contamination of soils by oil or chemicals. It is considered that these impacts can

be appropriately managed through the implementation of the mitigation measures

like preserving top soil and restoration of the area to near original conditions after

completion of construction, reinstating surface contours and natural drainage

patterns, reinstating watercourse banks as soon as practicable and applying bank

stabilization techniques as necessary, restricting the use of heavy machinery to the

minimum necessary to complete the task, restricting vehicle use in wet or boggy

conditions, monitoring for erosion, evidence of inversion and compaction and

minimizing oil spills, chemicals and wastes in a manner that minimizes the risk of

spills to the environment. Thus, the impact on the land environment during the

construction phase is reversible and insignificant. During the operation phase of

the project, the presence of the pump stations/delivery stations will be the only

visible impact on the existing flat/barren topography. As the pipeline will be

underground no impact is envisaged on the topography along the pipeline

alignment during the operational phase of the project.

V. The impact on ambient air quality is assessed hereunder considering the existing

baseline air quality. The ambient air quality levels along the proposed pipeline

corridor and around the pumping station/terminal stations are observed to be well

within the stipulated standards applicable for residential/rural and sensitive areas.

VI. During the construction phase of the project, the major impacting activities

includes, earth work excavation, embankment formation, handling, laying and

jointing of pipelines - these activities would cause a general increase in levels of

dust and suspended particulate matter in the ambient air. However, this increase in

concentration would be of temporary nature and localized. Water sprinkling will

be carried out for dust suppression. Movement of vehicles for transpm1ation of

construction material and usage of diesel generators - These activities would

cause a marginal increase in the levels of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide

3

and hydrocarbons. The construction vehicles would have a valid PUC certificate

and the DG sets would be provided with stack of adequate height.

VII. There will be no air emissions during the operation phase from pipeline operation.

Thus, the impact on air quality during pipeline operations is negligible. Dust

generation from light vehicles and activities associated with the maintenance and

monitoring of the pipeline does occur. Minor emissions from the pipeline are

likely at above-ground facilities during maintenance operations. Remote operation

of valves (in the event of damage or programmed maintenance) uses Ethane

pressure to drive valve actuators and will result in the release of small amounts of

Ethane. Minor emissions from scraper stations will occur during loading and

removal of the pipeline pigs, which would normally occur once every five to ten

years. Fugitive emissions are extremely low from pipeline operations. The risk of

pipeline ruptures or leaks is also extremely low due to the implementation of

protection measures and the routine monitoring, inspection and maintenance that

will be carried out. Given the isolated nature of potential emission generation,

impacts on air quality associated with the pipeline are expected to be low.

VIII. Activities related to transportation, operation of construction plant and machinery,

operation of DG sets etc. add noise to the ambient levels. The noise levels due to

construction activities are estimated to be around 70-90 dB(A). Such onetime

exposure is not expected to last for more than few weeks and shall not exceed the

stipulated standards of CPCB. However, base camp will be established away from

habitation area to reduce the noise impact. Major construction work will be

carried out during the daytime. Noise generation is temporary and is restricted to

construction site.

IX. Most of the pipeline IS passmg through open area with sparse or negligible

population within the pipeline corridor (200m on either side) it is expected that

the noise exposure to the workers will be at levels well below the stipulated

norms. Impacts of noise on surrounding population due to construction activities

are expected to be insignificant and will be only temporary.

X. Due to the proposed pumping/delivery stations operation, there may be marginal

increase in noise levels in the immediate vicinity of the pumping stations. Such

marginal increase in the resultant noise levels would not alter the noise

environment significantly and in any case the noise levels beyond the pumping

station boundary would be below the permissible limits. The nearest settlement

4

would be at least 500 m away from the pumping/delivery station, where the

impact due to proposed operations at the pumping/delivery stations would be very

less. Thus no significant impact on the ambient noise quality is envisaged. The

pumps will be provided with enclosures to reduce the noise. People working at the

pumping station will be provided with PPE. There is an existing green belt at

DMD where the pump station will be located, which will reduce the impact of

noise due to operation of pumps on the surrounding areas around the pumping

station/terminal stations.

XI. Most of the rivers encountered enroute the pipeline alignment are seasonal and

will be crossed by open cut method. Horizontal Direction DRGPLling (HDD) will

be used for all crossings involving perennial rivers and major lined canals. Block

valves will also be provided at regular intervals to sectionalize the mainline and at

major river/canal crossings. Due to these measures no impact is envisaged on the

present water quality of the major river/canal crossing the pipeline alignment

during construction phase. Hence, there will not be any impact on the river water

quality of the major rivers and canals coming across the pipeline alignment.

XII . Drinking water required at the base camps during construction phase - The water

will be made available through local supply system. The domestic sewage from

the construction camps will be either disposed off into soak-pits/in consultation

with local authorities. Wastewater generation during construction phase of the

pipeline will be minimal and temporary in nature.

XIII. Water required during hydrostatic testing of pipeline - There will be one time

water requirement for hydrostatic testing. Efficient use of water will be made to

reuse the test water in different test sections. Water will be tapped from different

sources along the pipeline route, without unduly disturbing its normal users .

XIV. The total water requirement during construction phase is 491 KLD. There will be

a one-time requirement of 4,800 m3 of water per section of hydrostatic testing ( ~

30 km). This water will be reused in different test sections to an extent practically

feasible. The magnitude of impact on water environment during construction

phase will be minor and temporary. The water requirement will be only at Pump

Station at the starting location, intermediate ML V s, IPSs and termination

locations. For Pump station and M&R Station, water will be used from RGPL's

respective manufacturing division plant, as applicable. Local water sources with

due permissions from relevant authorities for ML V, IPS & pipeline laying.

5

XV. The domestic sewage will be disposed off into soak-pits/septic tanks. Water

required for ML V s, IPSs and M&R during operation phase is estimated to be

approximately 500 litres I day I per station, which will be primaRGPLy met by

providing tube well at respective location.

XVI. During construction, solid waste generated wi ll include packaging and wrapping

material, stubs of spent welding electrodes, used rags and housekeeping waste

from the construction camps etc. Site Contractors will be responsible for disposal

I resale of the wastes and these shall be disposed off at Municipality/ Local Body

approved sites.

XVII. All the non-hazardous wastes will be land filled or disposed off in municipality

facilities at approved sites. All the hazardous wastes generated will be disposed

off as per CPCB/State PCB guidelines at nearest TSDF sites. Recyclable wastes

will be sold off to CPCB/ local PCB authorized vendors. Hence impact on the

surrounding environment during construction and operation phase of the project

is not envisaged due to solid waste generation

XVIII. Most ofthe river crossing will be resorted during dry season when majority of the

riverbeds will be dry facilitating construction and minimizing impact. The impact

in the context of biota and fishery resources in the area is not considered to be

significant as most of the rivers are observed to be dry for major part of the year

except during monsoon season. As explained earlier, at the perennial

rivers/canals, Horizontal Direction DRGPLling (HDD) will be done to avoid the

impact on the biotic environment. There will be no discharge of the wastewater to

any water body from the pumping/delivery stations during the operational phase

of the project. The impact of buried pipeline passing through the fresh water

bodies would have least impact on the aquatic ecological status of these water

bodies.

XIX. The present land use of proposed pumpmg station/delivery station area is

uncultivable waste type. There will be positive impact on the present land use as

there will be structures and greenery on this type of land during the operation of

the project. The impact on the land use along the pipeline corridor will be

minimum and temporary as the excavated earth will be refilled back and efforts

will be made to bring back the original land use of the area. After completion of

pipeline construction, the ground will be restored to near original condition and

handed over back to the landowner to continue their regular activities. All sites

6

used for temporary works shall also be restored and returned to the original

landowner.

XX. The proposed land of the pumping station is mostly barren land with less fertility .

Top soil will be removed during the excavation for laying of the pipeline. This

soil cover will be restored back after laying of the pipeline. Hence no negative

impact is envisaged on the top soil cover all along the pipeline alignment.

XXI. The proposed activities will generate indirect employment in the region due to the

requirement of workers in site preparation activities, supply of raw material,

auxiliary and anci llary works, which would marginally improve the economic

status of the people. The activities would result in an increase in local ski ll levels

through exposure to site activities and technology. Residential/bui lt-up land will

not be acquired for the proposed pipeline; hence rehabilitation and resettlement

will not be associated with the project. The pipeline is proposed to be laid in the

RoU of existing pipelines. There will not be major changes in the land use pattern.

The proposed project activities do not involve loss or disturbance to sensitive areas

and cultural heritage.

The proposal of the RGPL was scrutinized by the Technical Committee in its 16th

meeting, which was held on 04-04-2015 , wherein the representative of RGPL made a

presentation about various activities to be carried out in the CRZ area, EIA report

prepared by the Bhagvati Ana Labs Private Limited, Hyderabad, and CRZ map

prepared by the Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai

representative of the RGPL, during the presentation, the Technical Committee asked

the RGPL to submit various details including existence of Forests land involved in the

project

The RGPL submitted details vide its letter dated 11-05-2015 and submitted that the

pipeline will be laid across the CRZ area using horizontal direction drilling (HDD)

Technique at least 5 m below the river bed and there will be no impact on the river

regime. Regarding the existing forest land involved in the project, it is submitted that

the project involved reversion of diverted forest land in RoU of existing pipelines, and

a small section of fresh forest diversion, forest re-diversion ( -0.9 ha) proposal

submitted to State Forest Dept. on 3-Nov-2014 and fresh diversion (-0.2 ha) proposal

submitted on 28-oct-20 14 Application are in advanced stages of approval process.

The representative of RGPL made a presentation before the GCZMA in its 26th

meeting, which was held on 15-05-2015 , and submitted that they have proposed to lay

a pipeline of 440 Km (12 " dia.) from RGPL's Dahej Manufacturing Division , Gujarat

to RGPL 's Nagothane Manufacturing Division, Maharashtra and 46 Km (8 " dia.)

spur pipeline to RGPL ' s Hazira Manufacturing Division for transportation of upto 1.4

MMTPA of liquid Ethane . Out of total 486 Km pipeline, approximately 256 Km

passes through the State of Gujarat. The proposed pipeline passes through tidal

influenced water bodies in Gujarat viz. Bhukhi, Narmada, Purna , Mindhola, Kim-main

line and Kim - Hazira and it is falls under purview of CRZ Notification 2011. The

total length of pipeline passes through CRZ area would be 4864m. Horizontal

Directional Drill (HDD) techniques shall be used for laying of the pipeline across the

water bodies, without disturbing water courses. HDD is a trenchless method with no

impact in the river regime. There is no excavation in the river regime and possible in

soft and hard strata. HDD would be started from outside CRZ Limit. Waste drilling

mud and drill cutting will be disposed off at nearby TSDF. Construction camp will be

located outside the CRZ area. No domestic solid waste /liquid waste will be disposed

off in CRZ water bodies. Construction labours would be provided with septic tank and

soak pit system or portable sewage treatment plants. Treated Sewage water will be used

for dust suppression. All construction equipment will comply with the emission and

noise standards. No construction activities will be undertaken during night time.

The representative of RGPL submitted that the maximum overall risk due to the Dhej

Nagothane Ethane Pipeline facility is found to be 1.0 x 10-5 /year, which is

inacceptable region (ALARP level) as per HSE UK risk acceptance criteria. The

societal risk for overall DNEPL pipeline facility is observed to be in acceptable region

as per the HSE UK Risk acceptable criteria. The impact of thermal radiation on

adjacent buried pipeline will not have potential impact due to adequate soil cover and

separation distance. It was further submitted that installation of SCADA dedicated

optical fibre cable based telecommunication system, leak detection system, Pipeline

Application Software etc would be used as Risk Prevention and mitigation measures.

Forests re-diversion (0.9 ha) proposal submitted to Forests Department on 03-11-2014

and for fresh diversion (0.2 ha) on 28th October, 2014

The representative of the RGPL submitted that the pipeline will be laid across the water

bodies using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HOD) technique, wherein there is no

excavation in the river regime. The pipeline will be laid at a depth of minimum 5 m

8

below the nver bed. Also, no domestic or solid waste, generated during the

construction phase, will be disposed of in the CRZ water bodies. Thus, there will be no

impact on the marine environment. It was further submitted that the Pipeline is the

safest mode transportation of hydrocarbons. Being buried underground, there is no

interference in the existing land usage. They have submitted detail analysis regarding

waste drilling mud & drill cutting and also stated that, Bentonite (natural clay) in dry

(powder) or slurry (mixed with water) form, a non-hazardous, environmentally friendly

and non-toxic in nature, is used during the drilling operation to take ground cuttings out

of the hole. Certificate from Bentonite Supplier M/s Trishul Industries with chemical

composition of Bentonite powder is obtained. It is submitted that the drill cuttings are

also non-hazardous and are recycled and reused and it is proposed to dispose of the

waste drilling mud in nearby low lying areas outside of the CRZ limits, in consultation

with concerned authorities. The representative of the RGPL submitted that the

proposed pipeline will be located upstream of the Kalpasar barrage at a distance of

approximately 4.4 km and they are in the process of filing application for obtaining

NOC from the concerned department.

As per the CRZ map prepared and duly imposed for the proposed route of pipeline,

prepared by the Anna University, Chennai, proposed activities falls in CRZ-I(B), CRZ­
