Details of Environmental Monitoring
2.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING
2.1.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out at 1 location; near Main Gate of the project site. This
will enable to have a comparative analytical understanding about air quality and the changes in the air
environment in the study area with respect to the condition prevailing. The location of the ambient air
quality monitoring stations is given in Table 2.1.

AAQ-1: Near Main Gate
The sampler was placed near Main gate and was free from any obstructions. Surroundings of the sampling
site represent industrial environmental setting
2.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology
Monitoring was conducted in respect of the following parameters:
Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5)
Particulate Matter 10 (PM 10)
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Ammonia (NH3)
Lead (Pb)
Benzene (C6H6)
Benzo(a)pyrene
Ozone (O3)
Arsenic (As)
Nickel (Ni)
The duration of sampling of PM 2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOx was 24 hourly continuous sampling per day and
CO was sampled for 8 hours continuous, thrice in 24 hour duration monitoring. The monitoring was
conducted for one day at the location. This is to allow a comparison with the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards.

The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central Pollution Control Board
(CPCB) and IS: 5182. The techniques used for ambient air quality monitoring and minimum detectable levels
are given in Table 2.2.
Fine Particulate Sampler instruments have been used for monitoring Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5 i.e. <2.5
microns), and Respirable Dust Sampler was used for sampling Respirable fraction (<10 microns), gaseous
pollutants like SO2, and NOx. Bladder and Aspirator bags were used for collection Carbon
Monoxide samples. Gas Chromatography techniques have been used for the estimation of CO.

2.3 GROUND WATER QUALITY MONITORING
2.3.1 Ground water Quality Monitoring Locations
Keeping in view the importance of ground water, sample of ground water was collected from the project
site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the groundwater quality.
Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various parameters to compare
with the standards for Ground water as per IS: 10500 for Groundwater sources. The details of water sampling
locations are given in Table 2.8.

2.3.2 Methodology of ground water Quality Monitoring
Sampling of ground water was carried out on April, 2014. Samples were collected as grab sample and
sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to
preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured
for appropriate temperatures. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. Sample
collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological analysis
was collected in sterilized glass bottles.
Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were
transported by road to Vardan Enviro Lab, Gurgaon for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing
and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for
different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.
The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The
analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of ground water are given in Table 2.9..

The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project activities on soil quality
and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of various constructions allied activities.
Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil quality has been carried out.
To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the Physico-chemical characteristics
of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the same. Single
sample of soil was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics, the location of which is
listed in Table 2.12.
