1.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT
KIADB identified the land and wanted to develop an industrial area with a purpose to promote
an orderly development of industries in the state.
Any activity aimed at development will have repercussions on the environment, both positive
and negative. Environmental Impact Assessment study is a management tool, which enables
the proponent to identify the negative impacts and to mitigate the negative impacts through
appropriate Environmental Management Plans. Hence KIADB as a part of the compliance to the
regulatory requirement i.e. to obtain environment clearance from EAC- MOEF, have appointed
a consultant to carry out the studies for the development of Gowribidanur IA of phase I & II.

1.12 ROAD NETWORK
The State Highway (SH 9) – Hindpur to the Gowribidanur Adjacent to the project site is passing
towards west from the proposed Gowribidanur IA of Phase I &II.
1.13 TRAFFIC PROJECTION
The transport demand is a function of land use. The land use will be developed in phases and it
has been taken from the approved plan of Industrial area and it will be used for traffic demand
projections. Some broad assumptions have also been made about trip generating potential of
the various land uses in different horizon years. The attraction to the study area from
surrounding areas is based on assumptions. Some of the broad assumptions are as follows
Travel Demand for the Year 2020
Total trip likely to be generated in the industrial area
= Per capita trip rate x Population (Based on appx.125 persons/Ha.)
=1.2 X 36800 X 0.60 (developed area 60 %) = 26496
Work trips internal (70%) = 18547
Other trips from internal to the external industrial area (30%) = 7949
Total through trips on existing road tentatively destined from internal Industrial area (30%
of 7949) to the external = 330 per day (14 PCU/hr)

M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd, Hyderabad 11.14
1.14 EFFLUENT CONVEYANCE SYSTEM
Sewage generation from the proposed site of Gowribidanur IA of Phase I &II, has been assumed
as 80% of the domestic water demand. Sewage and industrial effluents will be collected
through separate network of pipes planned along either sides of road. From the pipes sewage
and industrial effluents will reach Common Effluent & Sewage Treatment Plants for treatment
& disposal. Tertiary treated water will be supplied to the cooling towers for member industries
and for gardening purpose.
1.15 COMMON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Appropriate area of land has been earmarked for CETP & CSTP in the proposed site of
Gowribidanur Industrial Area of Phase I &II. The CETP & CSTP will be designed based on the
effluent characteristics and quantity. Adequate treatment units will be provided to ensure that
the treated effluent meets the prescribed CPCB/SPCB standards.
The member industries will also treat their effluents preliminarily to meet the stipulate
standard as prescribed by the CETP/CSTP which are constructing in the industrial area of phase I
& II.
1.16 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The ground is very undulating & terrain is flat with a gentle slope. While designing storm water
drainage system, all these factors will be considered. Storm water drains will be planned along
the sides of the roads to collect the surface run – off water from the roads and make a plan that
the surface water from the drains will be led into natural valleys.
1.17 HAZARDOUS WASTE / MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
All industries coming up in the proposed Gowribidanur Industrial Area (IA) of phase I & II, if
required will utilize the services of the Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility
(CHWMF) which is already existing in the near Dobaspet on NH 207. All the hazardous waste
from member industries will be transported to CHWMF facility for treatment and for further
safe disposal as per the statutory requirement and procedures. Safe storage and transportation
of the produced solid and hazardous waste is the total responsibility of the member industry.
