24 °C and 45 °C respectively.
B. Relative Humidity:
During study period at project site during study period, the relative humidity was
recorded as 55 %
C. Wind Pattern during Study Period
Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere has significant
impacts on neighborhood air environment. The dispersion/dilution of the released
pollutant over a large area will result in considerable reduction of the concentration of
a pollutant. The dispersion in turn depends on the weather conditions like the wind
speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, mixing height, cloud cover and
also the rainfall in the area.
Wind speed and direction data recorded during the study period is useful in
identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Wind roses on
sixteen sector basis have been drawn. Wind directions and wind speed frequency
observed during study period is given in Table 3.5 and wind rose was given in
Figure 3.4 (Chapter-3 in EIA Report)
The following observations can be made from the collected data:
• Calm period is observed to be 16.7 % during the time of monitoring.
• The predominant wind direction is W & NW.

2.18 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS, IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES OF
PROPOSED INDUSTRY
1. Aspect: Process gases such as NH3 & CO2 Emissions, DG Set emissions & Boiler
emissions into atmosphere.
Impact: Air pollution.
Mitigation measures: During production, the released gases from reactor vents will be
passed through double stage scrubber to scrub the gases with miscible liquid. The
scrubber will have polypropylene rings as packing media to increase the contact surface
area between gases and use proper scrubbing solution to increase the absorption of
gas. Scrubbing solution will pass through the scrubber counter currently.
NH3 gas will be scrubbed with chilled water to convert into ammonium solution.
DG set emissions will be monitored regularly to maintain the emission limits within the
CPCB limits. As per norms the stack height will be provided around 8.0 mts to have
proper emission dispersion. In case, the limits are crossing the combustion engine will
be taken for service.
Boiler flue gases emissions will be monitored regularly to maintain the flue gases
emission limit as per CPCB Standard. The stack height of 20 m will be provided to have
proper dispersion of flue gases.
2. Aspect: Organic & inorganic impurities from process & inorganic impurities, High TDS
water & High COD water from utilities, floor washings entering into water stream.
Impact: water pollution (contamination of natural resources)
Mitigation measures: The generated High & Low TDS water will be collected in
separate streams at generation point and collected in to respective dedicated tanks. The
high TDS water sent through the MEE System to remove COD and TDS and later
passed with Low TDS water through the Biological treatment plant to remove BOD and
finally through the RO plant to get reusable water quality. This water will be used for
Cooling tower and floor washings etc. This will minimize the fresh water requirement to
26.08 KLD.
3. Aspect: Noise from DG Set, Boiler & Electric motors more than 75 dB.
Impact: Noise pollution.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – II Page 29
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
Mitigation measure: DG set will have acoustic enclosure and drives will have proper
maintenance to minimize vibrations and internal parts will be servicing to minimize the
sound pollution.
4. Aspect: Spillages of chemicals during loading /unloading, Solvents spillages at storage
tanks, spillage of Oils from DG Set & Air compressor/ Refrigeration compressor on to
the ground.
Impact: Soil pollution.
Mitigation measure: To avoid any spillage of chemicals the working area of loading &
unloading area is barricaded and the floor will be made with acid proof tiling with a slope
towards a small pit so as to collect the spilled chemicals in the dedicated pit. This results
in avoiding the spillage of chemicals on to the ground.
Effluent water will be transferred through the dedicated pipe lines from plant to BTP
plant. This will eliminate soil contamination with effluent water.
Each solvent storage tank area will have dyke wall and the floor will have cement
concrete with slope towards a pit. Hence, spillage of solvent will be avoided on the
ground.
The DG set /Air compressor/ refrigeration compressor area will be placed in Utilities
building with cement concrete floor. The filling and draining of Oils from respective
equipment will be done by trained technical person to avoid any spillage of oil on to the
floor/ ground.
5. Aspect: Improper Storage of hazardous waste (organic waste, inorganic waste, spent
carbon) results in leakage/ Spillage on to the ground.
Impact: Soil pollution
Mitigation measure: The hazardous waste in containers will be stored in dedicated
area as per its category with proper flooring having slope towards a pit to collect any
spilled material. The entire area will be barricaded with a dyke wall and only authorized
personnel will be allowed to do operations in storage area. This avoids soil pollution.
6. Aspect: Establishment of industry may release gases emissions, effluent water leakage
to surrounding areas.
Impact: 1. Flora & Fauna, Water Bodies, Agriculture & Human habitation.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – II Page 30
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
2. The positive impact is generation of employment to skilled & unskilled people
of nearby villages and economic development.
Mitigation measure: The gaseous emissions will be released into the atmosphere after
pollution control measures taken. The industry will have dedicated effluent treatment
(MEE, Biological treatment plant, RO system) to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge system.
This will eliminate effluent leakage to surrounding area of the plant.
7. Aspect: Improper Storage of Flammable chemicals Toluene causing leakage of
flammable chemical.
Impact: Presence of ignition source catches fire, risk to plant personnel due to thermal
radiation, release of CO, CO2 and toxic gases in to the atmosphere and global warming.
Mitigation measure: Each solvent storage tank will have dyke to contain entire
contents. This will avoid leakage of solvent to the outside of dyke wall. The tanks will be
monitored regularly for any corrosion at valve joints, valve gland leakages. The storage
tanks will have fire alarm system. In case if it catches fire, it will be extinguished with
DCP, fire extinguishers and fire hydrant water. This will minimize the thermal radiation
and release of CO, CO2 and toxic gases to the atmosphere. The solvent/ chemical
storage tanks provided with vent condensers by circulated chilled water will minimize the
loss of chemical/ solvent in the storage tank.
The industry will conserve rain water by adopting rain water harvesting system in the plant
to the tune of 457 m3/ annum.
2.19 ASSESSMENT OF NEW & UNTESTED TECHNOLOGY FOR RISK OF
TECHNOLOGICAL FAILURE
No new or untested technology will be used in the proposed project but the manufacturing
process may be altered for better yields after successful lab tests and R&D.

3.2 Geological & Hydrogeological Environment
Scope and Methodology
In any given environment the occurrence and movement of ground water and its quality
and quantity is chiefly controlled and governed by many factors such as geographical set-
up, climate and rainfall conditions, hydrological features, topography, soil characteristics,
the nature and thickness of underlying rock formations and other related aspects that
prevail in an area. Therefore the study envisages indentifying the existing ground water
conditions comprising both quality and potential within the project site and its
neighborhood, relating the projected utilization for the production, identifying the likely
impacts on surface and ground water resources and indicating mitigation measures. In
order to accomplish the proposed objective of the study, the scope and methodology
adopted is as follows:
Collection of the relevant data contained in the EIA and EMP Reports, from the
reports and maps of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Geological Survey of
India (GSI) and Indian Meterological Department (IMD) other Institutions and
Departments.
Identify Inter- related and Inter – dependent key factors that play vital role in the
occurrence of ground water its quality and potential.
Identify surface water resources in the project site and its catchment area.
Assess the ground water resource potential in the catchment area of the project
site.
Bring out various events and processes that comprise the project activity.
Identify the site specific environmental issues and mitigation measures and
Compile a consolidated, comprehensive and meaningful report of the Project site
and its catchment area.

Initially the data and scientific information available in the EIA and EMP reports and reports
of Central Ground Water Board have been collected. Subsequently field investigation was
carried out to study surface rock outcrops, geological cross sections in the road cuttings
and open wells. Inventory of wells representing the Project area and Study area was
carried out and Hydrogeological data of about 12 wells was collected. Water levels were
recorded in the bore wells in the Project area and Study area.
The inventoried well data showed that the depth to water level ranging between 15-40 m
below ground level.
Information already available and the data collected during the survey is collated and
analyzed to comprehend the overall ground water situation in the area. An attempt is made
to predict the likely changes that could occur on account of withdrawal of groundwater by
the proposed bulk drug industry and certain mitigation measures have been indicated to
avoid adverse effect on the ground water environment.
3.2.1 TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE
The site is a part of Plateau weathered sloping South at an altitude of + 470 m MSL. The
project area and Study area has good network of streams and tanks. All the streams are
ephemeral in nature and carry water during monsoon period. Most of the tanks were
observed to be dry and few tanks have little water that caters to needs of drinking water to
animals. Drainage pattern observed is sub- parallel and to some extent Dendritic near the
vicinity of major rivers. Nannaj Odha and Sina River are the major rivers draining the
Project area and Study area. The Project area and Study area is falling in Sina catchment
area.
3.2.2 Geomorphology and Soil Type
The district is comprised of Bhima sub-basin and has undulating topography. The elevation
in the district is ranges from 400 to 600m Above Mean Sea Level. The district is typically
characterized by the morphology of Deccan basaltic flows. The major rivers flowing in the
district are the Bhima, The Sina, The Man and The Bhargavati Rivers. The Sina and The
Man River’s are the tributaries of the Bhima and the Bhogawati River is tributary of Sina.
Dendritic drainage has been observed only in the vicinity of major Rivers where alluvial
deposits or thick soil cover is present. However all the streams and Rivers which flow in
the district are effluent in nature.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – III Page 34
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
The soil prevailing in Solapur district is mainly derived from Deccan basalts. The soil of the
district is underlain by partially decomposed basaltic rock locally known as “Murum” which
overlies parent rock. Due to more of less complete absence of leaching, the soils are base-
saturated. The lime reserve in the soil is fairly high (3.5 to 10%). The soils exhibit varying
degrees of erosion and truncated profile is a common occurrence. The soils can be broadly
classified in the four main categories on the basis of depth and structure.
Vary shallow with depth less than 7.5 cm.
Shallow soils between 7.5 to 22.5 cm depths.
Medium deep soils between 22.5 and 90 cm depths.
Deep soils with depth more than 90 cm.
3.2.3 Regional Geology
The area exposes ten Basaltic Lava Flows of Diveghat Formation belonging to Sahyadri
Group of Deccan Traps (Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene). These lava flows on
account of differential weathering give rise to undulating relief. Alluvium is confined to
major Rivers. There are no evidences of any structural disturbances like folding and
faulting. However, Few joints were observed in the Study area area.
Stratigraphy of the Area:
Alluvium - Quaternary
Basalt Flows (Diveghat Formation) Sahyadri Group Upper Cretaceous to Eocene
(Ten Flows) (Deccan Traps)
Local Geology: The area is occupied by single litho unit Basalt of Deccan Traps.
3.2.4 Hydrogeology
The entire Solapur District is occupied by lava flows of Deccan Basalt formation, Which
constitute the main rock formation of the district. The important Water bearing formations
are Deccan Trap basalt and Alluvium.
Groundwater in Deccan Traps mostly occurs in the weathered and fractured parts down to
10-15 m depth bgl. At places potential zones are encountered at deeper levels in the form
of fractures and inter flow zones which are generally confined down to 60-80 mts in the
district. The weathered portions of both vesicular and massive units have better porosity
and permeability. Intensity of weathering is less in hilly regions of the district while it is

higher in plain areas. The yield of dug wells tapping phreatic aquifer ranges between 18-
150 Cum/day, which have 1-12 mts depth range. The above wells are generally drilled
down to 40-60 mts tapping weathered and fractured vesicular zones, these wells have a
discharge of 120 -150 lpm. It is noticed and reported that the yields of wells drastically get
reduced in summer months beginning from March up to June end.
The width of the streams is narrow and follows the weak planes within the hard rock
formations. A geomorphology, geology and structural map of the area around the proposed
plant is shown in Figure 3.1.

3.2.5 Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater occurs under water table conditions in shallow aquifer and semi- confined to
confined conditions in fractured zones (Deeper Aquifers). The fractured jointed vesicular
basalt and massive basalt when overlain by red bole bed of considerable thickness
develops semi confined to confined conditions. Hence, the red bole bed acts as a confining
layer. The red bole bed being clayey in nature also acts as a good barrier for the
downward movement of water. The weathered and jointed zone of massive basalt unit and
vesicular basalt unit constitute the unconfined aquifer, which are generally tapped by dug
wells. The semi confined to confined aquifers is tapped by dug cum bore well and bore
wells. Twelve bore wells were inventoried in the Project area and Study area area to
assess the groundwater conditions. The depth to water levels was found to be 15- 36 m
during pre monsoon while in summer it is reported between 20-40 m with yield ranges of
50 – 150 lpm. The quality of water is found to be potable.
The proposed area is categorized as safe by the Central Groundwater Board and scope for
development & stage of groundwater is 60%. MIDC Supplies water to the industry. The
Management already adopted roof top harvesting of monsoon by constructing artificial
recharge pit. The industry enclosure has vast open space which itself acts as natural
recharge pit. However, the artificial recharge structures which might be taken up by the
Management in consultation with local government authorities.
3.2.6 Drainage Pattern of Study Area
Dendritic drainage indicates homogenous rocks, the trellis, rectangular and parallel
drainage patterns indicate structural and lithological controls. The coarse drainage texture
indicates highly porous and permeable rock formations; whereas fine drainage texture is
more common in less pervious formations. Weathering profile controls of ground water and
above all discharge of surface water along the major streams and rivers. Fractured pattern
and other structural features control drainage pattern in hard rocks. Slope / gradient of
area coupled with drainage density decide the weathering profile. These two factors
synthesized with rainfall (of a given area) provide information on the ground water potential
(weathering profile, structural factors) and discharge of surface water along streams.
Weathering profile increases groundwater potential, slope/gradient together with runoff
controls the thickness of weathered zone. Major faults, lineaments sometimes connects
two are more watersheds (Drainage Basins) and act as conduits (Interconnecting channel

ways). Flow of groundwater along these week zones is an established fact. A proper
understanding of the major faults, their influence of groundwater flow has to be understood
from drainage system and its controls. The study of the drainage for the present purpose is
to understand that, to what extent the ground water would be affected by the water
pollutants. Survey of India Topomaps, satellite data of summer season are the main input
data for preparation of drainage map. The drainage map is prepared using Toposheets of
Survey of India on 1:50,000 scale and updated using latest satellite data wherever
deviations and new developments are observed.
Step I: All the rivers its tributaries and drainage network shown on the Toposheets are
captured. The boundaries of all rivers/water bodies with names appearing are captured
from Toposheets. The drainage is drawn from whole to part, i.e., from the rivers to
tributaries to first drains to second order drains to third order drains.
Step II: Based on the post monsoon satellite image extent of water spread and dry parts
are updated. The water bodies which did not exist at the time of survey of Toposheets, if
any are also captured based on satellite imagery. The study area forms part of Mahanadi
river basin the southern of the area from western part, towards East. All these rivers and
rivulets get dry for major part of the year and carry heavy floods during rainy season. The
drainage map of study area has showing in Figure 3.1.

This Draingae map consists of all water bodies, rivers, tributaries, perennial & ephemeral
streams, reservoirs, tanks, ponds and the entire drainage network from first order
originating in the area to the last order joining the rivers, tributaries and tanks based on
topography. Understanding the importance of drainage depends on the purpose and the
objective of the project. For the present study purpose the following factors have to be
understood and extracted from the study of the drainage pattern. Drainage network helps
in delineation of watersheds. Drainage density and type of drainage gives information
related to runoff, infiltration relief and permeability.

Meteorological Data for Project Site:
The meteorological data recorded during the study period is very useful for proper
interpretation of the baseline information as well as for input to prediction models for
air quality dispersion. Historical data on meteorological parameters will also play an
important role in identifying general meteorological regime of the region.
Automatic weather station was installed in the project site at about 10 m above the
ground level. On-site monitoring was undertaken for various meteorological variables
in order to record the site-specific data. Data was recorded every hour continuously
from March to May, 2019.

The critical weather elements that influence air pollution are wind speed, wind
direction, temperature, which together determines atmosphere stability. The details
of the temperature, relative humidity and rainfall observed during study period
(March to May, 2019) are given below.
A. Temperature:
During the study period the minimum and maximum temperatures were recorded as
24 °C and 45 °C respectively.
B. Relative Humidity:
During study period at project site, the relative humidity was recorded as 55 %
C. Rainfall
Rainfall during the Study Period at the Project Site is 26.1 mm. Normal annual
rainfall is 742.5 mm. (Source: IMD Climatatological Normals, Solapur 1981 - 2010)
D. Wind pattern
Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere has significant
impacts on neighborhood air environment. The dispersion/dilution of the released
pollutant over a large area will result in considerable reduction of the concentration of
a pollutant. The dispersion in turn depends on the weather conditions like the wind
speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, mixing height, cloud cover and
also the rainfall in the area.
Wind speed and direction data recorded during the study period is useful in
identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Wind roses on
sixteen sector basis have been drawn. Wind directions and wind speed frequency
observed during study period is given in Table 3.5 and wind rose are given in Figure
3.2.
The following observations can be made from the collected data:
• Calm period is observed to be 16.7 % during the time of monitoring.
• The predominant wind direction is W & NW.
• Other than predominant wind directions wind was blowing in SE direction.
• Average wind speed is 2.73 m/sec.

3.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The ambient air quality with respect to the study area of 10 km radius around the
plant site forms the baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the
region are industrial, traffic and rural activities. This will also be useful for assessing
the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the plant operation. The
study area represents mostly rural environment.
The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a
scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of
monitoring network in the air quality surveillance programme has been based on the
following considerations:
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale.
Topography of the study area.
Representation of plant site.
Influence of the existing sources (if any) are to be kept at minimum.
Inclusion of major distinct villages to collect the baseline status.
Representation of down wind direction.
Representation of upwind direction.
Representation of cross sectional distribution in the down wind direction.
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of CPCB. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
(AAQM) was carried out at eight locations for 2 days per week for 12 weeks during
study period and the locations are shown in Figure 3.5. The locations of the different
stations with respect to its distance and direction from project site are shown in

3.6. NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Noise, often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication,
causes annoyance, distracts from work, and disturbs sleep thus deteriorating quality
of human environment. Noise levels in the study area have therefore been
measured, at selected points, to provide the baseline data to describe the existing
situation.
Measured noise levels displayed as a function of time provides a useful scheme for
describing the acoustical climate of a community. Noise levels records at each
station with a time interval of about one hour are computed for equivalent noise
levels. Equivalent noise level is a single number descriptor for describing time
varying noise levels.
3.6.1 Noise Monitoring Stations
In order to assess the noise levels in the study area, monitoring was carried out at
eight different locations within 10 km radius of the study area. The noise monitoring
locations are shown in Figure 3.13 and distances & directions of monitoring location
mentioned in Table 3.19. Noise levels were recorded and computed for equivalent
noise levels for day-equivalent, night-equivalent & day-night equivalent.
Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) measurements were recorded at eight locations. The
readings were taken for every hour for 24-hrs. The day noise levels have been
monitored during 6 am to 10 pm and night noise levels during 10 pm to 6 am at all
the locations covered in the study area.
The noise recording stations and the summary of the minimum, maximum, day -
equivalent, night - equivalent and day-night equivalent values computed for various
location in the study area is given in Table 3.20.

3.6.2 TRAFFIC STUDY
Anthropogenic emissions not only contribute to the green house effect but also
participate in the reaction that results in photochemical oxidants. The effect of
photochemical oxidants is well known for forming smog particularly in the urban
areas.Among the anthropogenic sources of pollutants forming the green house
gases, burning of fossil fuels constitute a major source. Highway mobile sources that
contribute significantly to poor quality have been regulated for the past two decades
in countries like India. The absence of regulation in developing countries has caused
a global concern regarding potential environmental damage on a larger scale.

The traffic survey was carried out on the NH-9 (Solapur to Pune Road) which is 3.3
km (SW) to the Project site. Vehicular traffic counts were performed on either side of
the studied roads to provide background values of traffic density, and correlate such
data to the levels of air pollution along the road. Vehicular traffic on these roads
included heavy vehicle, light vehicle, three wheelers, and two wheelers. The
additional traffic due to the project would also occur in this time duration only. A

3.8.2 LAND USE / LAND COVER MAP
Land use / land cover map is prepared by visual interpretation of high-resolution
satellite data with the help of Survey of India Topographic maps on 1:50,000 scale.
One season data (Rabi, year: 2019) is used for the delineation of different units. The
units are confirmed by the ground truth/field visits.
Level-II classification of National (Natural) Resources Information System (NRIS)
has been followed for the delineation of units.
Land use/ Land cover map of the study area is integrated with village map and
analyzed with the help of GIS to get the village wise findings of the present land use
of the study area, which is given elaborately in the following tables:
Land use refers to man’s activities and various uses, which are carried on land. Land
cover refers to natural vegetation, water bodies, rock/soil, artificial cover and others
resulting due to land transformation. Although land use is generally inferred based
on the cover, yet both the terms land use and land cover are closely related and
interchangeable. Information on the rate and kind of change in the use of land
resources is essential to the proper planning, management and regulation of the use
of such resources.
Knowledge about the existing land use and trends of change is essential if the nation
is to tackle the problems associated with the haphazard and uncontrolled growth. A
systematic framework is needed for updating the land use and land cover maps that
will be timely, relatively inexpensive and appropriate for different needs at national
and state level. The rapidly developing technology of remote sensing offers an
efficient and timely approach to the mapping and collection of basic land use and
land cover data over large area. The satellite imageries are potentially more
amenable to digital processing because the remote sensor output can be obtained in
digital format. Land use data are needed in the analysis of environmental processes
and problems that must be understood if living conditions and standards are to be
improved or maintained at current levels.

3.8.2.1 Basic Concepts of Land Use
Clawson has given nine major ideas or concepts about land. These are:
Location or the relation of a specific parcel of land to the poles, the equator,
and the major oceans and landmasses. There is also relationship between
various tracts of land, as well as a political location.
Activity on the land, for what purpose this piece of land or tract is used.
Natural qualities of land, including its surface and subsurface characteristics
and its vegetative cover.
Improvements to and on the land. This is closely related to the activity.
Intensity of land use or amount of activity per unit area.
Land tenure, i.e. who owns the land, which uses it.
Land prices, land market activity and credit as applied to land.
Interrelations between activities on the land and other economic and social
activities.
Interrelations in the use between different tracts of land.
3.8.2.2 Methodology for land use / land cover mapping
The land use / land cover map is prepared by adopting the interpretation techniques
of the image in conjunction with collateral data such as Survey of India topographical
maps and census records. Image classification can be done by using visual
interpretation techniques and digital classification using any of the image processing
software. For the present study, ERDAS 9.1 version software is used for
preprocessing, rectification, enhancements and classifying the satellite data for
preparation of land use land cover map for assessing and monitoring the temporal
changes in land use land cover and land developmental activities.
The imagery is interpreted and ground checked for corrections. The final map is
prepared after field check. Flow chart showing the methodology adopted is given in
the different land use / land cover categories in the study area has been carried out
based on the NRSC land use / land cover classification system.
For analysis and interpretation, and preparation of LU / LC map, two types of data
are needed:
1. Basic data 2. Ground data

3.9 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Ecological studies are one of the important aspects of Environmental Impact
Assessment with a view to conserve environmental quality and biodiversity.
Ecological systems show complex inter-relationships between biotic and abiotic
components including dependence, competition and mutualism. Biotic components
comprise of both plant and animal communities, which interact not only within and
between themselves but also with the biotic components viz. physical and chemical
components of the environment.
Generally, biological communities are good indicators of climatic and edaphic
factors. Studies on biological aspects of ecosystems are important in Environmental
Impact Assessment for safety of natural flora and fauna. The biological environment
includes terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Objectives of Ecological Studies
The present study was undertaken with the following objectives to assess both
terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the study area
To assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project site
• To assess the flora & fauna in the study area;
• To ascertain the migratory routes of fauna, presence of breeding grounds and
sensitive habitats in the study area, if any;
• To assess the presence of protected areas in the study area;
• To review the information from secondary sources and discuss the issues of
concern with the relevant authority and stakeholders;
• Impact prediction based on primary and secondary data sources to formulate
mitigation measures.
3.9.1 Detailed Description of Flora and Fauna
According to the Forest and Wildlife Department, the project site is located at an
aerial distance of 2.45 Km from the Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary (GIBS), Solapur.
The GIBS is one of those exclusive places in India which is the home to the Great
Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps). The GIBS was established in 1979 and it
spreads across an original area of 8,469 Sq Kms. This vast grassland attracts a few
migratory birds, along with the Great Indian Bustard. Also, the sanctuary has a good

population of Blackbuck, Wolf, Indian Fox, Jackal, etc. but none of them was seen
during the recent years. Only one female GIB was spotted during 2018 by Aditya
Kshirsagar, a marine engineer, who has collected data of flora and fauna of Solapur.
It may be mentioned that the GIBS is a large area and our survey is limited to the
Study area 10Km. During the period of survey (May 2019), the part of the GIBs that
falls within the study area was devoid of any green cover. The area was colonized
mainly by scattered thorny bushes and they were totally leafless during the survey.
The forest is classified as Southern Thorn Forest. The whole ground was visible and
there were no GIBs or Blackbucks or Spotted deer but jackals were seen by locals in
some areas at a distance of over 9 Km from the MIDC.
Animals within the 10 Km Study area of the project site. Forests and water bodies
present in the Study area are listed in Table 3.29. There are no perennial reservoirs
in the study area.

The project site is located in an Industrial estate (MIDC) but it is adjacent to the GIBS
and the project site is 2.45 Km away from the boundary of the GIBS, Kondi. GIBS is
an ecologically sensitive area. The Project area or the project site is a non-forest
and non-agriculture wasteland converted for industrial use. Two Schedule I including
one CR species have been reported from the GIBS. The proposed industry a zero-
liquid discharge (ZLD) unit and hence its impact on the Schedule I and REET
category aquatic fauna located in the study area are negligible.

3.9.2 Vegetation and Flora of the Project area
Project area which is going to take the direct impacts of the proposed development
and it is the area which is owned by the project proponent and hence it is under his
control for implementation of EMP.
The project site is levelled and filled with transported soil. Owing to the clearance,
levelling and filling, most of the original and natural flora of the Project area was lost.
A list of plants found in the project site during the survey is given in Table 3.30.

Vegetation and flora of the Study area:
As summarized in Table 3.29, there are reserved forests within the 10 Km Study
area of the project and the GIBS is located in the same forest. Other than GIBS,
there no Wildlife Sanctuaries or National Parks or Biosphere reserves or other eco-
sensitive areas. The croplands were devoid of any vegetation cover owing to dry, hot
summer during the survey period. The flora of the Study area is represented mainly
by cultivated avenue trees and tropical thorn forests / scrub jungles. Many
ornamental shrubs and fruit trees were grown within the premises of the industries in
MIDC.
Forest vegetation and flora of the Study area
Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary (GIBS), established in 1979as the Jawaharlal Nehru
Bustard Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary for the great Indian bustard (Ardeotis
nigriceps) at Nannaj, near Solapur, Maharashtra, India is located in a drought-prone
and semi-arid rewgion. It is a part of the Kathiawar-Gir dry deciduous forests eco
region. The forest is an open tropical thorn forest. The species found in the GIBS
include Acacia leucophloea, Acacia nilotica,Prosopis juliflora, Albizia lebbeck,

The forests of the study area can be classified under two sub groups namely 5A -
Southern tropical dry deciduous forests and 6A-Southern tropical thorn forests,as per
the classification of Champion and Seth (1968). They are mainly dry deciduous and
have scrub type vegetation. Thorny plants occur and tend to increase in proportion
with heavy grazing, to which most of the area is subjected. Prosopis juliflorawas the
easily the most abundant, dominant and widespread bush in all vacant sites in the
study area. A list of Trees, Shrubs and perennial climbers found in the Study area

Most of the annual herbs and therophytes had completed their life cycle and
withered away. Hence, no green herbs / annuals could be noticed in the study area.
3.9.3 Terrestrial fauna of the study area
The study area includes the project site, the MIDC, the GIBS and the adjacent
wastelands and croplands. The study area extends up to 10 Km radius from the
project area. The whole area except the MIDC was more like a arid or semiarid
region. As the animals, especially vertebrates and the winged invertebrates move
from place to place in search of food, shelter, mate or other biological needs,
separate lists for Project area and Study area are not desirable. The study area is
subjected to anthropogenic disturbances and biotic pressures of grazing. According
to the Forest and Wildlife Department, the project site is located at an aerial distance
of 2.45 Km from the Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary (GIBS), Kondi. The GIBS is one
of those exclusive places in India which is the home to the Great Indian Bustard
(Ardeotis nigriceps). Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) belonging to Schedule
I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, is a critically endangered (CR) bird while the
Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) and the Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes or Canis
indica) do belong to any of the REET categories (they are included under the LC
category) of the IUCN (vide IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group 2017. Antilope
cervicapra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2017) though this is placed in
Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act. Both are reported from the GIBS
only whose boundary is adjacent to the boundary of the MIDC.
Other than the GIBS, there are no other Sanctuaries, National Parks, Tiger Reserve
or Biosphere Reserve or Elephant Corridor or other protected areas within 10 Km of
radius from project area. The Great Indian Bustard, Blackbuck, Wolf, Indian Fox and
Jackal have been reported from the GIBS. Among the birds, Indian Bush lark,
Shrikes, Bush Quails, Buzzards, Francolins, Doves, Babblers, and Owls have been
reported.
It is evident from the available records, reports and circumstantial evidence that the
entire study area including the project and study areas were free from any animals
except the GIBS. Among the Mammals, only Squirrels, Mongoose, Rats, Bandicoots
and Rabbits were noticed during the survey. Monkeys were also rare. Among the
reptiles, Lizards, Garden lizards were common. No snake was seen during the

survey. Other reptiles were very rare. The amphibians were also rare. A list of
Mammals, Reptiles and Amphibians either found or reported from the area is given
in Table 3.32. There were no resident birds other than Crows, Parrots, Doves, and
Weaver birds, Swifts, Quails and Mynas. A list of birds either spotted or reported or
recorded from the area under consideration is given in Table 3.33. The data is verified
with Avibase and there are no REET species or but there was one Schedule I species
(Great Indian Bustard). It also belongs to the CR category of the IUCN.

Note: CR stands for Critically Endangered as per the IUCN 3.9.4 AQUATIC FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE STUDY AREA
The study area was totally dry during the period of survey in May 2019. As there was
no assured (canal irrigation) and as the area was dry and hot, there were no crops.
Hence no aquatic or semiaquatic plants were found during the survey. Published
literature on Flora of the Solapur district do not reveal the presence of any REET
species. As shown in Table 3.29, Sina River is the only river that runs in the study
area. The Sina River is the largest tributary of Bheema River and it is the major left
bank feeder of the Bhima River. The total length is 55 Km and it is seasonal river.
The river was totally dry during the period of survey and hence no aquatic flora or
fauna could be noticed.
The Project area was completely dry and there were only pools of water in ponds
and lakes (vide Table 3.29). The project area was devoid of any aquatic species. A
list of fishes caught / reported / recorded from the Sina River is given in Table 3.34.
The Fishbase indicates the absence of any RET species in the study area.

Rarity may not be an indication of decline or disappearance of a species. There are
volumes of research on rarity. Rarity seems to have an advantage for certain
species. There are no rare species in the study area. They are common and
widespread. They are found in similar ecosystems in wide geographical areas. With
the sole exception of the Great Indian Bustard, no endangered or threatened species
of fauna (IUCN Red Data) was reported or recorded from the study area. Apart from
the GIBS, Blackbuck and Wolf are the other Schedule I species reported from the
GIBS. Though included in Schedule I of the WPA, the Blackbuck and the Wolf are
placed under the LC (least concern) category by the IUCN. The Great Indian Bustard
is a critically endangered ground nesting bird for whose conservation the GIBS is
meant for. According to a confirmed report, only one female GIB was spotted during
2018 and till now in 2019, none was spotted.

CHAPTER - IV
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
& MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Environment and development should be considered as mutually Complementary,
interdependent and an instrument of reinforcing the quality of life. Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) is the important aspect of overall environmental
management strategy and an important tool for sustainable development. It identifies
major impacts of Industrial and associated activities on environment and provides
guideline to prepare the necessary control measure termed as Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).
The identified impacts for various components of environment viz., Air, Noise, Water,
Land, Socio-Economy, etc. are presented herewith. EIA is an activity or an attempt
to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the
activity/project on the environment.
Based on results [Baseline Data] of prediction and evaluation, pollution abatement
and control measures in order to mitigate the adverse impacts on the environment
are delineated in an Environmental Management Plan
The proposed project is likely to create impact on the environment in two distinct
phases:
• During the construction phase, which may be temporary and short term; and
• During the operation phase that would have long-term effects.
4.2. INVESTIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DUE TO PROPOSED
PROJECT
The environmental impact assessment is accomplished by identification and
prediction of impacts and their assessment. Potential impacts of proposed project on
various environmental attributes given below are predicted;
• Air environment
• Water resources and quality
• Noise levels
• Land use
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 105
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• Soil quality
• Solid waste
• Terrestrial and aquatic ecology
• Demography and socio-economics.
• Hydrology & Geology
4.3. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the construction phase, the activities which are likely to contribute to impact
on various environmental components which are temporary in nature are site
clearing, leveling, construction of various structures of Drug manufacturing activities,
lying of internal roads, erection of equipment etc.
The construction activities will be confined within the project area of 1.48 acres.
The environmental impacts and management plan during construction phase are
detailed below.
4.3.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE
Presently land is using for industrial purpose. No major changes in land use pattern
will occur due to the project activities.
4.3.2 IMPACT ON SOIL ENVIRONMENT
The activities of proposed project will be confined within the site premises. During
construction works, top soil generated from various activities like excavation etc. will
be stored and preserved to use it during restoration period as far as possible.
The construction activities will result in loss of topsoil and earthen material to some
extent in the plant premises. However, it is proposed to use the soil and earthen
material in greenbelt development.
No solid or hazardous waste will be generated during construction thus no impact on
soil environment is likely.
4.3.3 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
The proposed site is barren land and during the construction phase there would be
proper leveling of the proposed site. There is no additional stress expected due to
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 106
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
this project activity on topography and soil strategy of the project site and its
surroundings.
Since it is a new project, changes occur in topography due to excavation of soil in
the proposed project area and construction of buildings and facilities. During
construction, excavated soil will be restored to its original shape. Thus the impact
during the construction is reversible, for short term and insignificant.
4.3.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT
The sources of air emissions during construction phase will be due to development
of site, emissions from vehicles used for transportation of men and materials and
emission from construction equipment’s. These activities are likely to result in
emission of SO2, NO2, CO and Particulate matter. However, the quantity of these
will be very negligible and that too only for a very short period. Hence no adverse
impact on air quality is likely to occur.
4.3.5 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT
No surface water body is located in the vicinity of the project site; hence project
related impact on water environment would mainly be limited to the groundwater
resources. The potential impacts during construction phases are assessed based on
the various activities.
● Improper disposal of construction debris may lead to off-site contamination of
water resources.
● Unaccounted disposal of domestic wastewater from temporary labour camps.
● Spillage of oil and grease from the vehicle maintenance activity and wastewater
stream generated from activities, such as vehicles washing and maintenance.
Site Workshop:
The repair and maintenance of equipments/ vehicles at 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.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 107
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
Construction of Roads and 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, painting
and flooring may create significant impact. This type of waste would be stock piled
and disposed off to authorized vendor.
Development of the proposed site could lead to stockpiling and excavation activity on
site, thereby causing erosion of base soil. The run-off 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
Domestic Wastewater generated during construction, which will be collected in
sewage collection tank [septic tank].
The contamination of groundwater might occur due to the irrational disposal of liquid
wastes. The overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to
proposed project is likely to be short term and insignificant. There seems no impact
on the water environment of the study area.
4.3.6 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVELS
Noise will be generated due to construction traffic for loading and unloading,
fabrication and handling of equipment and materials are likely to cause an increase
in the ambient noise levels. The areas affected are those close to the site. However,
the noise will be temporary and will be restricted mostly to daytime.
4.3.7 IMPACT ON ECOLOGY
Prediction of impacts is based both on the direct and indirect; short-term as well as
long-term; irreversible and irreversible impacts that are most likely to occur owing to
the proposed industrial activity during establishment and operation. The ecological
factors that are considered most significant as far as the impact on flora and fauna
are concerned:
1. Whether there shall be any reduction in species diversity
2. Whether there shall be any habitat loss or fragmentation
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 108
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
3. Whether there shall be any additional risk or threat to the rare or endangered
or endemic or threatened (REET) species
4. Whether there shall be any impairment of ecological functions such as (i)
disruption of food chains, (ii) decline in species population and or (iii)
alterations in predator-prey relationships.
As stated earlier, there is no REET plant or animal species in the project area, and
hence no REET species is going to be lost on account of the proposed product
manufacturing by the industry. The plants list given in Table 3.30 chapter - 3 are
going to be lost during the development of the greenbelt. As there are no REET
species, the proposed changes in the project are not going to pose any threat to the
flora and fauna of the project area as these species are very common and of
widespread occurrence. As mentioned repeatedly, one bird (GIB) and two mammals
(Blackbuck and Wolf) of Schedule I have been reported from the GIBS. But only the
GIB belongs to the REET (CR) category of the IUCN. The proposed industry is a
ZLD unit and hence it is not going to discharge any treated or untreated effluents.
Hence, it is not going to have any direct or indirect impacts on the Schedule I / REET
species that are most likely to occur in the study area of the project site. No direct or
indirect damage is expected to the flora and fauna of the Study area. Further, as
there are no rare or endangered or endemic or threatened (REET) terrestrial animal
species within the project area, the project does not pose any direct threat to the
flora and fauna of the study area. As the industry is required to operate and maintain
the emissions within the limits specified by the CPCB / MSPCB, the effects of the
industry on the flora and fauna of the Study area may be negligible. Neither the
storm water nor the effluent water nor any other kind of rain or waste water from the
industry shall get in to the water resources. Further, the greenbelt is going to be
developed in 35.8% of the total project area. Hence, the anticipated environmental
impacts on the flora and fauna of the study area are negligible and easily reversible.
It is not going to create any kind of environmental stress to the local flora and fauna.
4.3.8 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Due to proposed project there is no major negative impact on socio economic
environment. The proposed project will requires a workforce of 100 persons during
plant operations. Thus industrial activity will boost up the commercial and
economical status of the locality to some extent. And, the overall impacts on socio-
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 109

economic environment due to the proposed project are positive in nature and accrue
to the community on the long-terms basis.

Land/ Soil
Short term minor negative impact due to change in top layer of soil
The earthen material generated during excavations and site grading periods, will be properly dumped and slope stabilization shall be taken. The topsoil generated during construction shall be preserved and reused for plantations
Greenbelt development will have significant impact in reduction of the soil erosion
3 Ambient Air Quality
Sort term negative impacts because of dust emission due to site cleaning, road laying, earthwork, transportation & construction
The emissions will be temporary and confined within proposed project site boundary. It is not expected to contribute significantly to the ambient air quality However, the unit will take following measures for control of dust emissions: • Use of plastic cover sheet while
transporting construction material at site
• Storage of sand and other such dispersible material by covering with tarpaulin sheet
• Storage of sand and other such dispersible material by covering with tarpaulin sheet
• Keeping minimum inventory/stock of sand and other such dispersible
material at site • The heights, from which materials

• Use of water sprinkling system at site for dust suppression
• During high wind condition, construction activities will be restricted, so that minimum flow of dust particle takes place.
Proposed Greenbelt development will be started from the construction phase
4 Water Quality
Short term, but no significant negative impact
• Water requirement for construction phase will be very minor and for short period and that will be fulfilled by ground water source Thus, there will not be any significant impact on water environment
• The wastewater generation will be from the domestic activities. Domestic effluent will be disposed of through septic tank into soak pit.
• Measures will be implemented to prevent seepage of liquid materials into ground where it could contaminate groundwater and soil.
• Fence will be constructed around the site to trap sediments whilst allowing the water to flow through.
• All mud & dirt deposited on the roads from the construction activities will be cleaned.
5 Noise
Short term negative impact due to increase in noise level by site cleaning, road laying, earthwork, transportation & construction activities
• The noise generated from construction machinery will be kept low by keeping the moving parts serviced and properly lubricated.
• The construction activity will be carried out during day time only.
• Vehicular movement carrying materials will be avoided during night time.
• The vehicles will be regularly maintained and optimum use of the same will be made.
• Adequate PPE’s (ear plugs, ear muffs helmet, mask etc) will be provided to the workers
• Greenbelt development will have

4.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The impacts on air quality from project depend on various factors like design
capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be used, air
pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart from the above, other
activities associated with transportation of fuel, raw materials and finished products,
storage facilities and material handling within the plant premises may also contribute
to air pollution.
4.6.1 Source of Air Pollution
The operational phase activities are expected to have long - term impacts on the air
quality. The main sources from project are detailed below.
A. Flue gas Emissions
Boilers and DG set are the two main sources of emissions from the plant. Industry
proposed to install 2.0 TPH Coal fired boiler.
The industry is proposed to install 1 x 125 KVA DG Set during power failures.
PM, SO2 and NOx are the main air pollutants generated from the boiler and DG set.
The emissions from the boiler stack and DG Set Stack are given in Table 4.3 & 4.4.

B. Process Emissions
The Predicted Process emissions are
• CO2 [Carbon dioxide] – Pollutant
• NH3 [Ammonia] – Pollutant
The above mentioned emissions will liberate from the manufacturing process of
proposed products. The process emissions are based on reactants quantity and
chemical reactions between them in relation with desired product output.
C. Fugitive emission
The main sources of fugitive emissions from project are
• Storage & Handling of raw materials
• Storage & Handling of Solvents.
• During reaction period
• During Product filtrations & Finished operations
The raw materials will be stored in PP bags, Fibre drums and HDPE drums in
elevated flat from under the roof. Bulk quantities will be stored in storage tanks with
vent condensers to avoid the fugitive emissions. Solvents are handled in closed
conditions thereby reducing the losses in the form of evaporation.
4.6.2 Prediction of Impacts on Air Environment
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level concentration
during the operation of plant and its impact on ambient air quality of the area.
Air quality assessment is done by integrating the measurement techniques and
modeling tools. The air modeling tools are routinely used in the environmental impact
assessments, risk analysis, emergency planning, and source apportionment studies.
Recent strategies for air pollution control in industries have largely neglected the
emission reduction measures which are the prime polluting sources. To accomplish
this, various air dispersion models have been developed and used worldwide so far
for different applications under different scenarios. The Gaussian plume model is a
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 115
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
standard approach for studying the transport of pollutants due to turbulent diffusion
and advection by the wind. Applications of such models have been made mandatory.
In this study, the AERMOD (the American Meteorological Society/Environmental
Protection Agency Regulatory Model Improvement Committee’s Dispersion Model,
Gaussian dispersion model is selected to predict the ground level concentrations
(GLC’s) of Particulate Matter (PM10) µg/m3, Particulate Matter (PM2.5) µg/m3, Sulphur
dioxide (SO2) µg/m3 and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) µg/m3 from point source emissions
will be investigated in the study area.
Methodology
Prediction of GLC values are made by using AERMOD software approved by U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and has adopted it as its regulatory
model since 2005. In point source emissions, the stacks are subjected to plume rise
which again is dependent on force of buoyancy and momentum. The higher is the
plume rise or stack, the lesser will be ground level concentrations (GLC’s).The
emissions when released into the atmosphere are subjected to transportation,
dispersion, transformation, and fall out and wash out and finally reach the ground
level at a particular distance and concentrations. The relationship between the
source of emissions and its magnitude with the ground level concentrations (GLC’s)
at receptor points is governed by air dispersion models which take into the account
by the source strength, plume rise, atmospheric stability, mixing height, wind
velocity, terrain and other meteorological conditions. The comparison between the
predicted and field sampled downwind concentrations for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NOX
(µg/m3) will be carried out in this study to predict the average downwind ground level
concentrations (GLC’s)
For the present modeling, it is assumed that the emissions from the existing sources
are already captured in the baseline monitoring therefore only the emissions from the
proposed new sources are considered
Data Used for Computation
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term incremental GLC
values of PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NOx using the meteorological data collected at site
during the March to May, 2019. Details of the data used for computations are given
below:
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 116
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
The details of estimated stack emissions are given in Table 4.3 & 4.4.
Meteorological Data
The meteorological data recorded continuously during the month of March to May,
2019, on hourly basis. AERMOD model requires hourly surface data values for wind
speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and cloud cover. Both data files
for the surface and profile files were then used to generate the meteorological file
required by the AERMOD dispersion model using the AERMET meteorological pre-
processor. This AERMET has three stages to process the data. The first stage
extracts meteorological data and assesses data quality through a series of quality
assessment checks. The second stage merges all data available for 24-hour periods
and writes these data together in a single intermediate file. The third and final stage
reads the merged meteorological data and estimates the necessary boundary layer
parameters for dispersion calculations by AERMOD.
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. As site specific mixing heights were not available, mixing heights based on IMD
publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere
in India”, has been considered to establish the worst case scenario. Secondary
information has been used to determine the mixing height over the study region for
the study period (March to May, 2019) and it varies from 90 - 2350 meters (IMD).
Dispersion Modeling Results
The 1st high – 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from plant
have been computed for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NOx considering topographical
features around the plant and applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly
average GLC values for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NOx from plant are given in Table 4.5.

4.8 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
PREDICTION OF IMPACT
Identification of potential impacts on noise environment from the proposed project is
as important as other components of the environment. The main sources of noise
pollution are Boiler, Reactors, DG Set, Air compressors, and other Noise generating
units. Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading / unloading of raw
materials and finished products and transporting activity may also increase noise
level. Noise levels in the ambient air are well within the permissible limits given by
the National Ambient Noise level standards as confirmed during baseline study. Leq
values of the noise levels within the plant premises will be kept less than 75 – 70 dB
[A] [during day time and night time which will be within the permissible limit.

4.9. LAND/ SOIL ENVIRONMENT
IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS
Infrastructural development for the proposed project as well as subsequent
developments in the nearby area may change the land use pattern of area.
The impact on land and soil environment may be due to effluent disposal, chemical
and hazardous waste storage & handling. Spillage of chemicals during loading,
unloading and transfer, leakage of pumps, flange leakage in pipelines may create
soil/ land contamination.
PREDICTION OF IMPACTS
• The Proposed project will be carried out within the acquired land premises; there
will not be any change in land use pattern, forest cover or vegetation in
surrounding area. Moreover, electricity, water, roads, all basic amenities and
infrastructure are already available in the area.
• There will not be any disposal of untreated effluent on land. Industrial wastewater
will be properly treated and reuse in various activities within the premises.
• Spillage of chemicals during loading, unloading and transfer, leakage of pumps,
flange leakage in pipelines may create soil/land contamination. However, the
regular maintenance of pumps and flange connections in the pipelines will be
carried out and proper care will be taken while loading, unloading and transfer of
materials to avoid any soil/land contamination.
MITIGATION MEASURES
• During operational phase, the chances of any enhanced soil erosion are not
anticipated. But improper disposal of toxic wastes and accidental spillages of
toxic chemicals can pose a serious threat to the soil, ground and surface waters.
But the chances of such events cannot be quantified and predicted. Since the
industry is expected all rules and regulations relating to the use, handling and
disposal of all toxic and hazardous chemicals, no additional safety methods are
required especially to prevent contamination of soil.
• Liberal use of locally available farmyard manure will be used for the plants in the
greenbelt and block plantations for improving the productivity, fertility and health
of soils.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 127
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• In case of any spillage, the same will be collected and treated in ETP. The unit
will provide an adequate designated storage area with impervious flooring system
and roof cover with leachate collection system for the storage of hazardous
wastes.
• Leachate, if any will be collected and and treated in ETP. Thus, there will not be
any chances of contamination of soil due to the storage of chemicals and
hazardous waste.
• The hazardous waste generated will be stored and handle as per the Hazardous
Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
• The project does not have any impact on the soils beyond the boundaries of the
project site. Physicochemical characteristics of the soil samples obtained from 7
areas in the study area and one from the project site reveals that all basically
Clay and Silty Clay in nature.
4.10 IMPACT OF SOLID WASTE
The details of hazardous waste to be generated from the proposed project, is
mentioned at Chapter -2. The current practice of storage of generated hazardous
waste, in a closed room having an impervious bottom, and disposed of as per the
prescribed guidelines will be continued for the generation of hazardous waste.
Hence, the impact due to the same will be negligible as the handling of hazardous
waste to be generated will be disposed as per guidelines. The details of Solid &
Hazardous waste details are shown in below Table. The ash from boiler will be used
in the brick manufacturing unit. The ash of 0.5 µm to 45 µm will be used in the
cement manufacturing as a filler material, stabilization of soft soils, mineral filler in
asphaltic concrete, floor and metal castings etc.
MITIGATION MEASURES
To reduce the quantity of solid and hazardous waste generation as well as possible
contamination of land (soil) due to spillages / leaks from the plant operations,
following
Mitigation measures can be implemented:
• There will not be any leakages / spillage from the raw-materials storage and
from the storage of generated effluent from the project.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 128

4.11 IMPACTS ON ECOLOGY
Prediction of impacts is based both on the direct and indirect; short-term as well as
long-term; irreversible and irreversible impacts that are most likely to occur owing to
the industrial activity during establishment and operation. The ecological factors that
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 129
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
are considered most significant as far as the impact on flora and fauna are
concerned:
1. Whether there shall be any reduction in species diversity.
2. Whether there shall be any habitat loss or fragmentation.
3. Whether there shall be any risk or threat to the rare or endangered or
endemic or threatened (REET) species.
4. Whether there shall be any impairment of ecological functions such as (i)
disruption of food chains, (ii) decline in species population and or (iii)
alterations in predator-prey relationships.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS
As there is change in the land use and land cover on account of the proposed
project, the proposed action is not going to have any direct and significant negative
impacts of flora and fauna or biodiversity.
MOST PROBABLE SCENARIO
As stated earlier, it is a new project there will be change in the land use and land
cover within the project site. No damage is going to be done to the existing green
cover within the project site. Except for a few weeds, there are only cultivated plants
and no RET species in the project area. No species is going to be lost on account
of the proposed project. No direct or indirect damage is expected to the flora and
fauna of the Study area. Further, as there are no rare or endangered or
endemic or threatened (REET) species, the project does not pose any threat to
the flora and fauna of the study area. As the industry is required to operate
and maintain the emissions and effluents within the limits specified by the CPCB /
SPCB, the effects of the industry on the flora and fauna of the Study area may be
negligible. Neither the storm water nor the effluent water nor any other kind of rain
or waste water from the industry shall get in to the drinking water resources.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Extensive plantation and green area development of 0.53 Acres (2148.2 Sq. m) is
planned in the proposed project along with landscaping. This is hereby ensured that
the mostly indigenous/ local plants will be planted all around the periphery of the
project area and along the compound wall sides. Plantations would be of large leaf
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 130
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
trees that provide adequate shade and are semi evergreen to evergreen. Various
native and indigenous trees would be planted for mitigation purpose.
4.12 IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES OF LAND USE
4.12.1 IMPACTS ON LAND USE
An effort has been made to identify various environmental, social and ecological
impacts due to proposed project during construction and operation phases
considering present environmental scenario as baseline.
Quantification of Impacts
With the establishment of the proposed project the following changes take place w.r.t
land use within the study area.
• Total land in possession is 1.48 acres. Out of this Greenbelt is 0.53 acres and
Rest is industrial use
• Land Use of 1.48 acres (0.6 Ha.) of land envisaged for the proposed project
will change from Single crop to industrial use.
• Pucca road is available up to the site. No separate road will be laid. Width of
the road will be increased from 5 m to 10m which is very marginal.
• No township is proposed as part of the project. Hence no increase in
habitation area.
• It can be concluded that there will be no increase in an industrial area already
the site is in an existing designated industrial area. Corresponding mitigation
measures will be taken care of the adverse impacts.
4.12.2 MITIGATION MEASURES ON LAND USE
i) Water Bodies
There is a major canal passing with in the 10 kilometers radius from west to South. It
is a recently updated and visible in the satellite imagery. As it is so far away (i.e.
More than 5 Kms) from the industrial site. As it is an existing industrial area and the
unit is going to establish ZLD system, hence there is no impact on the water body by
the proposed activity.
ii) Agriculture
As the single crop and Double crop land is identified nearby the industrial area. As
the present land use by the proposed industrial site is an existing industrial site and
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 131
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
located in a designated industrial area, as the industry is going to establish ZLD
system and there is no adverse impact on surrounding crop land.
iii) Change in Topography of the Land & on Drainage Pattern
As the proposed site is already in the industrial use and located in an Industrial area,
hence there is no topographical change as well as no impact on drainage pattern.
4.13 IMPACTS ON SOCIO- ECONOMY
During the erection phase short term direct or indirect employment will be
generated. Project Proponent shall give first preference to the Local people wherever
found suitable for all the jobs in the plant operations. Economic status of the local
people will improve due to the increased employment & business opportunities,
thereby, making a positive impact to the Local Economy. Educational, medical and
housing facilities in the study area will considerably improve. Thus, the proposed
project will have significant positive impact on the socio-economic environment.
MITIGATION MEASURES
• Due to proposed activity the employment generation will be around 65
persons including, skilled, semi-skilled & unskilled labour and office staff.
Local qualified personnel can be employed.
• Under CSR & CER Budget, the proponent has allotted 10 Lakhs to take up
Environment & welfare activities.
4.14 IMPACTS ON HYDROLOGY & GEOLOGY
• The proposed project activity does not have any impact on Geology as the
project process does not involve any breaking of ground except grading of
land for infrastructure development. The project area is over Basalt.
• The generation of ash from the industry will have sedimentation affect over
the wind ward side on the soil regime as well as the study area over a period
of time affecting the Green cover/ plantation thereby affecting the growth of
plants / crops.
• The chemically loaded waste water leakage from the industry will adversely
affect the soil, surface and groundwater.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 132
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• There is no pumping of ground water on site and the entire water requirement
is met from the MIDC supply as the industry is located in notified Industrial
Park.
• The management is suggested to harvest the roof top water by constructing
water harvesting pit.
• The spillage of chemicals is to be totally avoided at the storage site for
possible contamination with the groundwater.
• Ash generation and storage will be monitored closely to avoid leakages and
will be disposed safely to the brick manufacturing industries and infrastructure
projects.
• The ash spreading in and around the plant will be avoided by storing under
closed conditions at dedicated place till it is disposed to users. The prevention
suggested is not to allow the waste water leakage from the industry by
implementing proper storage tanks for wastewater collection system.

6.6.1 AIR QUALITY MONITORING AND DATA ANALYSIS
Stack Monitoring: The emissions from all the stacks will be monitored for exit gas
temperature, velocity and pollutant concentrations. Any deviation from the design
criteria will be thoroughly examined and appropriate correction/ action will be initiated.
Air blowers will be checked for any drop in exit gas velocity. The monitoring will be done
by authorised laboratory and test result will be submitted to the SPCB.
Work Zone Monitoring: The concentration of air borne pollutants in the workplace/
work zone environment will be monitored periodically. If concentrations higher than
threshold limits are observed, the source of fugitive emissions will be identified and
necessary measures taken. In addition, industry will continue to monitor the VOC in all
process & storage areas on regular basis. In case, the levels are high, suitable
measures as detailed in EMP will be implemented.
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring: The concentrations of PM, SO2, NOX, NH3, VOC and
CO in the ambient air will be monitored at regular intervals. In case of any excess
concentration in the ambient air quality due to the proposed production enhancement,
proponent will take necessary action and follow the air pollution control measures.
Greenbelt will further be developed for minimising dust propagation. The ambient air
quality data will be transferred and processed in a centralised computer facility
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VI Page 143
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
equipped with required software. Trend and statistical analysis will be carried out as per
the CPCB guidelines.
6.6.2 WATER AND WASTEWATER QUALITY MONITORING AND DATA ANALYSIS
To ensure a strict control over the water consumption, flow meters will be installed for
existing and proposed facilities for all major inlets in expansion. All leakages will be
identified and rectified. In addition, periodic water audits will be conducted to explore
possibility of water conservation.
Industry will analyse the basic parameters and the procedures prescribed in "Standard
Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater" prepared and published jointly by
American Public Health Association (APHA), American Water Works Association
(AWWA) will be followed for all the parameters of monitoring. As per the CPCB
guidelines, industry will be installed the online sensors in the treated effluent for pH,
Conductivity, DO with night vision cameras.
Surface and Ground water Monitoring: The monitoring of surface and ground water is
the most important tool to know the variations from the baseline study. This is
indispensable as it provides detection of the presence of waste constituents in ground
water in case of leachate migration. In this project, chances are very less for leachate
as the total effluent is segregated and is sent to ETP – ZLD and the treated effluent will
be reused in cooling tower. The water samples from the nearby surface water bodies
and bore well water will be analysed for relevant parameters as per monitoring program.
Records of analysis will be documented.
Monitoring of Waste water Streams: All the segregated wastewater streams will be
regularly measured for flow rate, physico-chemical, nutrient & demand parameters. The
monitoring will be carried out from stream wise wastewater, raw and treated effluent
characteristics of ETP before recycling it into utilities. These data will be documented
and compared against the design performance values of ETPs for necessary corrective
action/ measures.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VI Page 144
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
The ETP will be operated and maintained by existing & additional skilled and dedicated
personnel. Daily log sheets for no. of hours of the ETP operation, chemicals, electrical
and steam consumption; effluent monitored parameters with their results, etc. will
continue to be maintained.
6.6.3 NOISE LEVELS MONITORING
Noise levels in the work zone environment such as boiler house, cooling tower area,
and DG set will be monitored. The frequency will be once in a month in the work zone.
Audiometric tests will be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the
high noise sources.
6.6.4 SOIL QUALITY
Soil quality will be tested for the parameters given in schedule for every six months.
6.7 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE MONITORING DATA
It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with reference to
the EMP will be undertaken. The environmental monitoring department will co-ordinate
all monitoring programmes at site and data thus generated will be regularly furnished to
the State regulatory agency. The frequency of reporting will be on monthly basis to the
local state PCB officials and six monthly reports to Regional Office of MoEF&CC. The
Environmental Audit reports will be prepared for the entire year of operations and will be
regularly submitted to regulatory authorities in Form-V Environmental Statement.
6.8 ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY
Environmental laboratory will be well-equipped analytical instruments and consumable
items for monitoring of environmental parameters at the site. Alternatively, monitoring
will be continued to be outsourced to a recognized/approved laboratory. The equipment
and consumable items will be made available at the site for environmental monitoring.
The sampling is done as per the standard procedures laid down by IS: 2488. The
equipment’s will be analysed in the Environmental Laboratory are Heating Mantle,
Digital conductivity meter, Digital pH Meter, COD Digestion Apparatus, BOD Incubator,

ADDITIONAL STUDIES
[RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT]
Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd. is proposed to establish a Bulk Drug Intermediates
manufacturing unit at Plot No.: F-24, MIDC, Chincholi Industrial Area, Chincholi
Village, Mohal Taluk, Solapur District, Maharashtra state and is covered under
Category- A of the EIA Notification – 2006.
7.1 ADDITIONAL STUDIES
In order to support the environment impact assessment and environment
management plan, following additional studies have been included in this report.
• Risk Assessment
• Disaster management plan
• Occupational Health
7.1.1 SCOPE OF THIS STUDY
The QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) study has been conducted considering the
Terms of References (ToR) given for Environment Clearance (EC) by SEAC
Committee, GoI, New Delhi.
The study has been carried out with a view to comply ToR points with respect to Risk
assessment.
7.1.2 Methodology
The following parameters are considered to prepare Quantitative Risk Assessment.
1. Discussions were held with Plant officials on proposed individual safety
systems of plant operations.
2. Hazard Identification exercise in coordination with plant officials was
conducted taking into consideration the proposed storage of Hazardous
Chemicals/ Solvents, operating parameters and proposed safety systems.
3. Containment failure scenarios related to flammable chemicals & hazardous
chemicals have been considered for Risk Assessment and consequences in
detail. Thus, this study is mainly oriented towards acute risks rather than
chronic risks.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VII Page 147
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
4. Discussed on proposed Raw materials Hazards and their Risks in handling.
7.2 Risk Assessment
Urmila Chemopharma Private Limited will handle various chemicals, some of which
are hazardous in nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their
operating temperatures or pressures or a combination of them. Fire, explosion, toxic
release or combinations of them are the hazards associated with industrial plants
using hazardous chemicals. More comprehensive and systematic methods have
been adopted in Hazard Identification and Quantitative Risk Assessment to improve
upon the integrity, reliability and safety of the plants. The same has been discussed
in detail under their respective headings.
7.2.1 Objectives of Risk Assessment
Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and
assessment of risks the neighboring populations are exposed to as a result of
hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible
accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc., much of this information is difficult
to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum
credible accident studies.
The risk assessment process is primarily based on likelihood of occurrence of the
risks identified and their possible hazard consequences particularly being evaluated
through hypothetical accident scenarios. With respect to the proposed project, major
risks are leaks from storage tanks, rupture of Pipelines, Spillages from containers
during transfer operations and Storage in the Ware house have been assessed. Risk
associated with the flammable chemicals storages have been determined semi-
quantitatively as the product of likelihood/probability and severity/consequence by
using order of magnitude data (Risk ranking = severity/consequence factor X
likelihood/probability factor). Significance of such project related risks have been
established through their classification as high, medium, low, very low depending
upon risk ranking.
It provides basis for:
• The type and nature of its on-site and off-site emergency plan
• The types of safety measures required
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VII Page 148
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
7.2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS
• Hazard identification is carried out to ascertain the controls required and
available in order to mitigate the risk of exposure to the hazards. This would
be substantially helpful in overcoming costly errors and prolonged delays that
may be caused due to the design changes that may be required on a later
date.
• Hazard assessment in the proposed plant is carried out examining the Liquid
chemicals storage in the ware house such as Nitric acid, Ammonia, Acetic
acid and Flammable liquid chemical such as Toluene. This is to find out the
adequate facilities in place to overcome the Risks of exposure to the Hazards.
Following are the Hazards identified in proposed plant activities:
• Fire Hazards due to Flammable chemicals leakage from storage Containers,
pipe line ruptures during transfer of material which may get ignited due to any
spark.
• Fire hazard due to leakage of flammable chemicals from transfer pumps gland
leaks.
• Spillage/Leakage of Hazardous chemicals -Toluene, Sulfuric acid, Acetic acid,
Ammonia which leads to Air pollution, Water pollution and Soil pollution
The exposure to hazards depends upon the concentration of hazard, Frequency and
duration. The exposure to hazard could be controlled by reducing either the
concentration of hazard, frequency or duration.
After a critical analysis of the chemicals propose to use, stored and for products to
manufacture a defined safe operating procedures will be in place with safety and
mitigation measures to overcome the hazards.
The exposure to the hazard could be controlled by implementing the following:
• Engineering controls at the source
• Environmental controls that remove the hazard from the environment
Inspection of solvent transfer pipeline, Acid transfer lines & Ammonia gas conveying
lines once in a month.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VII Page 149

Earthing to all storage tanks and providing jumpers to transfer pipelines to have
continuity of earthing.
• Providing suitable personal protective equipment
• Employing experienced trained personnel in handling of Acids, Ammonia and
flammable liquid chemical such as Toluene.
All the proposed process reactors will have temperature control and pressure control
system for process as well as suitable Rupture disc followed by a safety valve to
avoid explosion due to excess pressure.

EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
Will Keep away from heat, sparks and flame
Will Keep away from sources of ignition
Ammonia will be stored in well ventilated area away from combustibles, oxidizable
materials etc.
7.4.2 Safety Systems
• Designated areas with proper indication & safety signs
• Double earthling systems for process reactors
• Flame proof transferring pumps for all flammable chemicals
• Pressure Gauges and temperature gauges on each reactor
• Safety valve & Rupture disc on each process reactor.
• Well ventilated warehouse with suitable fire extinguishers will be used for
storage of liquid chemicals.
7.4.3 TRANSPORTATION / UNLOADING
Highly inflammable chemicals will be transported by road. Therefore, adequate
safety precautions for transportation will be followed. During transportation of
hazardous chemicals, MSDS & TREM card will be provided to driver. As per Motor
Vehicle Rules, PESO rules and Factory Rules all safety precautions will be followed
during transportation of hazardous chemicals.
The following safety precautions are suggested during transportation of toxic,
inflammable and corrosive chemicals in tankers, while loading and unloading,
transportation and meeting the emergencies arising out of leakages and spillages of
hazardous materials:
• The name of the chemical along with pictorial sign denoting the dangerous
goods should be marked on the vehicle and the packing material.
• The name of the transporter, his address and telephone number should be
clearly written on the road tanker and on the vehicle.
• Only trained drivers and cleaners should transport hazardous chemicals.
• The Tanker / Vehicle should be checked for its fitness and safe condition
before loading.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 167
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• During loading and unloading, the tanker/vehicle should be braked and
isolated against any movement, while loading/unloading, use safety
appliances.
• Park the vehicle at designated place.
• Stop the engine.
• Check-up spark arrester.
• Provide earthing to tanker securely.
• Ensure that fireman is available near the place with proper equipment‘s.
• Connect the piping properly
• Before start unloading, check that, there should not be any leakage.
• In case of leakage, immediately attend the leakages & rectify it.
• After unloading is over, close the lid properly.
• Vehicle to be started only after removal of all pipelines connected with tanker.
7.4.4 SPILL CONTROL
• For all chemicals spill control procedures will be displayed. Spillage shall be
controlled as per concerned spill control procedure.
• Like any spilled materials to contain, absorb spilled liquid by dry absorbent
clay or vermiculite.
• Collect most of the contaminated absorbent with shovel for further
disposal/incineration.
• If material spills directly on the ground, dig up and remove saturated soil for
disposal/incineration.
7.4.5 EFFECT AND CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
• In the plant handling and storage of hazardous chemicals such as Sulfuric
acid, Ammonia, Nitric acid, Acetic acid and flammable chemical Toluene are
the main hazards and Risks arising in handling of such chemicals and its
consequences.
• If Flammable chemicals are released into the atmosphere, they may cause
damage due to resulting fires or vapor clouds.
7.4.6 INVENTORY
• Inventory analysis is commonly used in understanding the relative hazards
and short listing of release scenarios.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 168
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• Inventory plays an important role in regard to the potential hazard.
• Larger the inventory of a vessel or a system, larger the quantity of potential
release.
• The potential vapor release [source strength] depends upon the quantity of
liquid release, the properties of the materials and the operating conditions
[pressure, temperature].
• If all these influencing parameters are combined into a matrix and vapor
source strength estimated for each release case, a ranking should become a
credible exercise.
7.4.7 LOSS OF CONTAINMENT
• Plant inventory can get discharged to environment due to Loss of
Containment.
• Certain features of materials to be handled at the plant need to the clearly
understood to firstly list out all significant release cases and then to short list
release scenarios for a detailed examination.
• Liquid release can be either instantaneous or continuous.
• Failure of a vessel leading to an instantaneous outflow assumes the sudden
appearance of such a major crack that practically all of the contents above the
crack shall be released in a very short time.
• The more likely event is the case of liquid release from a hole in a pipe
connected the vessel. The flow rate will depend on the size of the hole as well
as on the pressure, which is present, in front of the hole, prior to the accident.
Such pressure is basically dependent on the pressure head in the vessel.
• The vaporization of released liquid depends on the vapor pressure and
weather conditions.
In the study the largest potential hazard inventories have been considered for its
consequence Risk estimation how vulnerable the organization is to a specific
incident consequence.
There are a number of hazards that are present at the proposed project site that may
result in injury to people or a fatality in more serious cases. This study is only
concerned with ‘major hazards’, which are as follows:
• Pool fires, Vapor cloud explosion;
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 169
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• Toxic vapor release
Pool Fires
If a liquid release has time to form a pool and is then ignited before the pool
Evaporates or drains away, then a pool fire results.
Because they are less well aerated, pool fires tend to have lower flame temperatures
and produce lower levels of thermal radiation than some other types of fire (such as
jet fires); however, this means that they will produce more smoke. Although a pool
fire can still lead to structural failure of items within the flame, this will take several
times longer than in a jet fire.
A burning liquid pool can spread along a horizontal surface or run down a vertical
surface to give a running fire. Due to the presence of kerbs, slopes, drains and other
obstacles; pool fire areas and directions can be unpredictable.
Vapour Cloud Explosion
The facility presently stores and also plans to store highly flammable Chemical
Toluene for a maximum credible loss scenario the release of such chemical is likely
to form a vapor cloud. If the cloud encounters an ignition source, the parts of the
cloud where the concentration is within the flammable range will burn and may in
some situations, also create an explosive force (blast wave). The effects of an
explosion, defined by blast overpressure, can be significant.
In most VCEs the expanding flame front travels more slowly than the pressure
Wave; this type of explosion is called a deflagration and the maximum Overpressure
is determined by the expansion ratio of the burning gases. If the flame front travels
fast enough to coincide with the pressure wave then the explosion is called a
detonation and very severe overpressures can be produced. Detonation is most
likely to occur with more reactive gases such as hydrogen.
Toxic vapor release:
Toxic vapor release due to Ammonia leakage the affected area, warehouse will have
more airborne concentration of Ammonia.
7.5 DAMAGE CRITERIA
In consequence analysis, it is made of a number of calculation models to estimate
the physical effects of an accident [spill of hazardous material] and to predict the
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 170
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
damage [lethality, injury, material destruction] of the effects. The calculations can
roughly be divided in three major groups.
• Determination of the source strength parameters;
• Determination of the consequential effects;
• Determination of the damage or damage distances.
TABLE 7.3: SEVERITY CATEGORIES OF CONSEQUENCE AND CRITERIA
Consequence Ranking Criteria Definition
Catastrophic 5 Multiple fatalities/permanent total disability Major 4 Single fatality/permanent total disability
Moderate 3 Short term hospitalization & rehabilitation leading to recovery
Minor 2 Medical treatment injuries Insignificant 1 First Aid treatment
Risk Evaluation
Based on ranking of likelihood and frequencies, each identified hazard has been
evaluated based on the likelihood of occurrence and the magnitude of
consequences. The significance of the risk is expressed as the product of likelihood
and the consequence of the risk event, expressed as follows:
Significance = Likelihood X Consequence
The below table illustrates all possible product results for the five likelihood and
consequence categories while the next table assigns risk significance criteria in three
regions that identify the limit of risk acceptability.
Depending on the position of the intersection of a column with a row in the risk
matrix, hazard prone activities have been classified as low, medium and high thereby
qualifying for a set of risk reduction / mitigation strategies.

RISK CRITERIA AND ACTION REQUIREMENTS S. No.
Risk Significance Criteria Definition & Action Requirements
1 High (16-25)
“Risk requires attention” – Project Management need to ensure that necessary mitigation are adopted to ensure that possible risk remains within acceptable limits.
2 Medium (10-15)
“Risk is tolerable” – Project Management to adopt necessary measures to prevent any change/modification of existing risk controls and ensure implementation of all practicable controls.
3 Low (5-9)
“Risk is acceptable” – Project related risks are managed by well established controls and routine processes/procedures. Implementation of additional controls can be considered.
4 Very Low (1-4)
“Risk is acceptable”- All risks are managed by well established controls and routine processes/procedures. Additional risk controls need not to be considered.
The basic physical effect models consist of the following. Source strength parameters
• Calculation of the outflow of liquid, vapor out of a vessel, in case of rupture.
Also two-phase outflow can be calculated.
• Calculation in case of liquid outflow, of the instantaneous flash evaporation.
• Calculation of the evaporation rate, as a function of volatility of the material,
pool dimensions and wind velocity.
Consequential effects
• Dispersion of gaseous material in the atmosphere as a function of source
strength, relative density of the gas, weather conditions and topographical
situation of the surrounding area.
• Intensity of heat radiation [in KW / m2] due to a pool fire, as a function of the
distance to the source.
• Energy of vapor cloud explosions [in KW / m2], as a function of the distance to
the distance of the exploding cloud.
• Concentration of gaseous material in the atmosphere, due to the dispersion of
evaporated chemical. The latter can be either explosive or toxic.
It may be obvious, that the types of models that must be used in a specific risk study
strongly depend upon the type of material involved:
• Gas, liquid, Solid
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 172
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• Inflammable, explosive, toxic products
• Stored at high/low temperatures or pressure.
Selection of Damage Criteria
• The damage criteria give the relation between extent of the physical effects
(exposure) and the percentage of the people that will be killed or injured due
to those effects
• The knowledge about these relations depends strongly on the exposure. For
instance, much more is known about the damage caused by heat radiation,
than about the damage due to toxic exposure, and for these toxic effects, the
knowledge differs strongly between different materials.
In consequence analysis studies, in principle three types of exposure to hazardous
effects are distinguished:
• Heat radiation from pool fire
• Explosion
• Toxic effect from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.
Heat Radiation
The consequence caused by exposure to heat radiation is a function of:
• The radiation energy onto the human body [KW / m2]
• The exposure duration [sec]
• The protection of the skin tissue [clothed or naked body]
7.6 DAMAGES TO HUMAN LIFE DUE TO HEAT RADIATION
Injuries to People —Definition of Burn Degrees
First Degree: A mild level of skin burn affecting the epidermis, with persistent
redness but no formation of blisters. More severe first - degree burns will produce
some pain, but no permanent damage. Flaking or scaling of the outer skin layer will
occur several days after exposure.
Second Degree: An intermediate level of skin burn characterized by the formation of
blisters. The blister depth may be shallow (epidermis), with only the surface layers of
the skin damaged, or more severe with nearly the full depth of the skin destroyed
(epidermis and dermis).
Third Degree: Deep burns characterized by the destruction of all skin layers and by
charring. The underlying tissue may also be damaged.

EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
TABLE 7.4: HEAT FLUX INTENSITY AND EXPOSURE TIME-DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR PEOPLE
Thermal Radiation Intensity (KW/m2) Type of Damage
1.6 No harm for long exposures. 4 to 5 Pain for 20 seconds exposure; first degree burn 9.5 Second degree burn after 20 Seconds
10 to 15 Potentially lethal with in 1 minute.
25 Significant injury in 10 seconds; 100 % lethality in 1 minute.
35 to 37.5 1 % lethality in 10 seconds. Since in practical situations, only the own employees will be exposed to heat
radiation in case of a fire, it is reasonable to assume the protection by clothing. It can
be assumed that people would be able to find a cover or a shield against thermal
radiation in 10 sec. time. Furthermore, 100% lethality may be assumed for all people
suffering from direct contact with flames, such as the pool fire, a flash fire or a jet
flame.
Explosion
In case of vapor cloud explosion, two physical effects may occur:
• A flash fire over the whole length of the explosive gas cloud;
• A blast wave, with typical peak overpressures circular around ignition source.
As explained above, 100% lethality is assumed for all people who are present within
the cloud proper.
The following damage criteria may be distinguished with respect to the peak
overpressures resulting from a blast wave:
TABLE 7.5: DAMAGE DUE TO OVERPRESSURE
PEAK OVERPRESSURE DAMAGE TYPE 0.83 bar Total destruction 0.30 bar Heavy damage 0.10 bar Moderate damage 0.03 bar Significant damage 0.01 bar Minor damage
7.7 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS ACCIDENT SCENARIOS
A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterized as the worst credible
accident. In other words: an accident in an activity, resulting in the maximum
consequence distance that is still believed to be possible. A MCA-analysis does not
include a quantification of the probability of occurrence of the accident. Another
aspect, in which the pessimistic approach of MCA studies appears, is the
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 174
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
atmospheric condition that is used for dispersion calculations. The Maximum
Credible Loss (MCL) scenarios have been developed for the Facility. The MCL
cases considered, attempt to include the worst “Credible” incidents-what constitutes
a credible incident is always subjective. Nevertheless, guidelines have evolved over
the years and based on basic engineering judgment, the cases have been found to
be credible and modeling for assessing vulnerability zones is prepared accordingly.
The objective of the study is Emergency planning, hence only holistic & conservative
assumptions are used for obvious reasons. Hence, though the outcomes may look
pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept should be borne in mind whilst
interpreting the results.
In Consequence analysis, geographical location of the source of potential release
plays an important role. Consideration of a large number of scenarios in the same
geographical location serves little purpose if the dominant scenario has been
identified and duly considered.
The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios. The details of
software used for MCA analysis are described below.
• A computer based version ALOHA is used to calculate toxic and Thermal
radiation effect of the accidental release of liquid chemicals within the plant
area.
• ALOHA models key hazards-toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation (Heat),
and over pressure (expansion blast force)-related to chemical releases that
result in toxic gas dispersion, fire and/or explosion
7.8 RISK ANALYSIS
Risk Analysis –Ammonia/Nitric acid/Acetic acid/Solvent -Toluene
The main hazard Toxic gas release associated with the storage and handling of
Ammonia gas with respect to the proposed Unit.
Hazards associated with the storage and handlings of Flammable chemicals
Solvent-Toluene is pool fire and VCE’s resulting from the ignition of released
material. The hazards may be realized during drums handling and leaks/failures in
the storage containers and ancillary equipment such as transfer pumps, metering
equipment, etc. all of which can release significant quantities of flammable material
or toxic material on failure.

7.10 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
Hazardous and toxic substances will be defined as those chemicals present in the
work place which are capable of causing harm.
• For handling hazardous chemicals and to take care of employee’s health, and
predictive maintenance looking to the nature of hazardous chemicals being
handled/processed. All the equipments in the plant areas shall be inspected /
tested by an outside agency.
• The various safety equipments like breathing apparatus and critical
instrumentation will be provided on various equipments are inspected and tested
frequently to ensure their operability all the time. Besides, all the first aid, fire
fighting devices will be inspected, tested and maintained by a competent third
party and kept all the time in ready to use condition.
• Health of all the employees in plant area will be monitored by outside physician.
If any abnormality is found necessary treatment is also being given time to time.
Necessary history cards, records will be maintained which is up-dated time to
time.
Common Hazards
• Physical such as ventilation, poor illumination, noise, extreme temperature,
humidity and radiation.
• Biological such as variety of pathogenic bacteria and parasites.
• Chemical due to hazardous gases and dusts.
• Ergonomic.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 182
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
Industrial Hygiene Monitoring
• Industrial hygiene monitoring is to be located and identify source of exposure in
the workplace so that they can be corrected and to quantify the exposure of
employees to chemicals in the air.
• Air monitoring is conducted by industrial hygienists or other trained personnel.
Occupational Health Monitoring System
A. Air samples
Locations of samples – air samples are generally collected in one or three locations:
• At the breathing zone of the worker [Personal sample]
• In the general room air [Area sample]
• At the operation which is generating the hazardous substance [Area sample]
Lengths of samples – Air samples are generally collected for two lengths of time.
• Grab samples [instantaneous] measure conditions at one moment in time and
can be linked to a still photograph. They give only a picture of conditions at one
place at one instant in time.
• Continuous Samples [range from twenty minutes to 8 – 10 Hours].These is
used to evaluate all day exposure by a series of continuous samples.
B. Other sampling methods
Bulk samples
Bulk samples will be collected from settled dust in the work place or from drums or
bags. Their purpose is to analyze and identify the substances present. For example,
bulk samples are used to analyze the percent of asbestos in insulation, dust &
Chemical Powder. Usually, a substance which is greater than one percent of bulk
sample is considered a concern.
Wipe Samples
Wipe samples will be used when skin absorption or ingestion is a suspected route of
exposure. The purpose is to show whether skin, respirators, clothing, lunch rooms,
lockers, etc. are contaminated.
It can show which surfaces are clean and which are contaminated. It can also show
if some surfaces are more contaminated than others.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 183
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
7.10.1 Sampling Devices
The general principle of sampling is to collect an amount of a contaminant onto a
medium from a known quantity of air.
Air samples will be collected using small pumps to suck air from the workroom. The
pump is attached by tubing to a sampling device which contains the sampling
medium; for example a glass tube containing charcoal.
The sampling method will be used depends on the physical form of the substance:
DUSTS –The sampling device is a filter of plastic or paper in s holder:
VAPORS –The sampling device is a glass tube containing activated charcoal
as a medium.
GASES –The sampling device is a bubbler containing a fluid medium to
dissolved or react with the gas
The collected samples will be sent to a laboratory where the amount of the
substance on the sampling medium [filter, tube, etc.] is measured.
In some cases air monitoring will be conducted by using direct reading instrument
such as a monitoring for carbon monoxide these instruments can measure the
amount of a contaminant in the air immediately without being sent to a laboratory.
• PELs [Permissible Exposure Limits] – these are legal’s limits which have been
established by OSHA.
• Recommended PELs – also reference to as RELs [Recommended Exposure
Limits] often these values are based on more recent scientific information than
the legal PELs enforced by OSHA.
• TLVs [Threshold Limit Values] – These are exposure limits put out by a
nongovernmental group, the ACGIH [American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists].
• IDLH [Immediate Dangerous to Life or Health] limits are prescribed by NIOSH
[National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health]
• PAC [Protective action criteria] for Hazardous chemicals prescribed by
Emergency management issues special interest group, UNITED STATES.
• AEGL [Acute exposure guideline levels] values given by U.S. Environmental
protection agency.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 184
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• ERPGs (Emergency response Planning Guidelines) are developed by the
Emergency Response Planning committee of the American Industrial Hygiene
Association.
• OEL (Occupational exposure limits) are set by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).

EMP for the Occupational Safety & Health Hazards: Chemicals exposure can be
kept within permissible exposure level (PEL) / Threshold Limit value (TLV) so as to
protect health of workers.
1. It is proposed to formulate and implement an EMP for Occupational Safety and
Health with following aim:
• To keep air-borne concentration of toxic and hazardous chemicals below PEL
and TLV.
• Protect general health of workers likely to be exposed to such chemicals
• Providing training, guidelines, resources and facilities to concerned
department for occupational health hazards
• Permanent changes to workplace procedures or work location to be done if it
is found necessary on the basis of findings from workplace Monitoring Plan.
2. Proposed EMP will be incorporated in Standard Operating Procedure also
3. The proposed EMP will also include measure to keep air-borne concentration of
toxic and hazardous chemicals below its PEL and TLV, like
• Leak Surveys
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 185
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
• Separate storage for toxic chemicals
• Exhaust Ventilation
• Proper illumination
• Close processes to avoid spills and exposures
• On-line detectors toxic chemical like Anhydrous Ammonia
• Atomization of process operations to hazards of manual handling of chemicals
• Supply of proper PPEs like Air mask, Breathing canisters, Decontamination
procedure for empty drums and carboys.
• Regular maintenance program for pumps, equipment, instruments handling
toxic and corrosive chemicals
• Display of warning boards
• Training to persons handling toxic and corrosive chemicals.
.4. Workplace Monitoring Plan
• It is proposed that a Workplace Monitoring Plan to be prepared &
implemented accordingly.
• Each workplace must be evaluated to identify potential hazards from toxic
substances or harmful physical agents. Air-borne concentration of toxic
chemicals will be measured and record will be kept.
• The current state-of-the-art exposure measurement model is as follows: For
purposes of measuring worker exposure across a single shift it is sufficient to
place a reasonably accurate exposure measuring device near the worker’s
area, within the worker’s breathing zone, and have it operate for nearly the full
shift. Client has been proposed to study the exposure data when the plant is
operative.
5. Health Evaluation of Workers
• It is proposed that management will devise a plan to check and evaluate the
exposure specific health status evaluation of workers.
• Workers will be checked for physical fitness with special reference to the
possible health hazards likely to be present, where he/she is being expected
to work before being employed for that purpose. Basic examinations like
1. Liver Function tests
2. Chest X-ray
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 186
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
3. Audiometry
4. Spirometry Vision testing (Far & Near vision, color vision and any other
ocular defect)
5. ECG, etc. will be carried out.
However, the parameters and frequency of such examination will be decided in
consultation with Factory Medical Officer.
• While in work, all the workers will be periodically examined for the health with
specific reference to the hazards which they are likely to be exposed to during
work. Health evaluation will be carried out considering the bodily functions
likely to be affected during work. The parameters and frequency of such
examination will be decided in consultation with Factory Medical Officer. Plan
of monthly and yearly report of the health status of workers with special
reference to Occupational Health and Safety, will be maintained.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental Management Plan reflects the commitment of the management to
protect the environment within and outside the industrial premises. An environmental
management plan is required for formulation and monitoring of environmental
protection measures during and after construction / Modification and commissioning
of the projects. Hence, the construction and operational phase is considered for
outlining the Environmental Management Plan for the said industry. The plan
indicates the details as to how various measures have been taken by the industry to
mitigate the pollutants generated due to its operations.
The Potential Environmental Impacts from the construction and operational activities
of the industry are summarized below.
A. Construction / Modification Phase:
• Site preparation, sanitation, noise, construction equipment & waste and site
security.
B. Operation Phase:
• Air pollution due to emission of Particulate Matter, Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen
oxide from the boiler stack and D. G. Set.
• Gaseous emissions from process leading to workroom air pollution.
• Noise pollution due to noise generating equipment operation.
• Disposal of effluent generated due to plant operations.

EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
The baseline data collected during the study period indicate that all seven pollutants
namely PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOX, CO, NH3 and VOCs.
The industry proposed to install 2.0 TPH Coal fired boiler for generation of steam.
The fuel requirement of 8.0 TPD will be met from local authorized sources.
DG set is proposed to install 1 x 125 KVA for usage during the power failures.
10.3.1.1 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL / MANAGEMENT
Following are the proposed pollution control schemes and which will be used to
minimize and control the emission of air pollutants as well as their effective
dispersion into the atmosphere.
A. Stack Design
The stack of height 20 mtrs with controlling equipment (cyclone separator followed
by Bag Filters) will be provided for the coal fired boiler with the approximate flue gas
exit velocity of 15 m/s ensures proper dispersion of the flue gas into atmosphere.
This design will ensure the ground level concentration of the pollutants to comply
with the ambient air quality standards.
DG Set Stack emission controlled by providing adequate stacks height to disperse
into atmosphere and maintain the air pollutants within the limits prescribed by CPCB.
B. Fugitive Emissions from Solvents
Various types of solvents will be used in the proposed Bulk Drug Intermediates
manufacturing process. The solvents will be stored in drums and Bulk quantities will
be stored in storage tanks with vent condensers. These are handled in closed
conditions thereby reducing the losses in the form of evaporation. The industry will
take measures for reduction of fugitive emissions by providing Chilled brine
circulation to the condensers, which ensures the recovery of 95% and also controlled
by closed operations and handling methods. Good ventilation will be provided to
reduce the workroom concentrations. The reactor generating solvent vapors will be
connected to condensers with receivers.
C. Storage and Transportation of Raw Materials
The Raw materials / chemicals will be received in Fiber drums, HDPE drums, PP
bags by trucks. The same will be stored in ware house under lock & key

avoided leakages/ spillages. Providing proper roads for transportation to control Dust
and VOCs in air can be minimized by developing Greenbelt in and around the plant
premises.
10.3.2 NOISE POLLUTION
All the equipment in the plant would be designed as per the requirement of CPCB
standards.
NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Compressors, Boiler and DG set will be the major noise generating units in the plant,
of which generator will be functioning only at the time of power failure. There is no
need for the workers to be near the DG set & compressor units continuously. The
Generator sets will be placed in acoustic enclosures to maintain the noise levels as
permitted by CPCB.
NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL / MANAGEMENT

10.4 HAZARDOUS & SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Generation of hazardous & Solid Wastes
The hazardous & solid waste generation from process, spent carbon, used oils, ETP
sludge, Evaporation Salts, ash from boiler; will be sent to TSDF/ Cement plants/
Brick manufacturers as per respective waste category.
Resource Conservation / Waste Minimization
The unit will also implement the concept of waste minimization circle including:
• Volatiles in the by-products will be condensed and reused.
• Volatile raw materials will be separated by rectification and these can be
recycled into process.
• Good House Keeping practices make the system easier and less costly.
Some of these are as follows:
Solid wastes e.g. powders, spills, etc. in process, and packaging will be
separately collected and disposed off instead of allowing these to join
effluent streams. This will reduce load and increase the efficiency of
treatment system.
• Search for future recycling schemes and evaluate their worth and
implement such schemes wherever a promise of economic feasibility
exists.
Discarded Container / Barrels/ Liners Management
• Discarded containers/ barrels/ liners will be kept at a designated place
with paved surface.
• These will be decontaminated (washed/ cleaned) and stored in the
designated area in scrap yard. Washed water sent to BTP.
• These will be sold to the actual users/ recyclers as per the Hazardous
Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules,
2016.
• The record of discarded containers/ barrels/ liners stored in scrap yard
shall be maintained and also, inventory of their selling to the registered
recyclers shall be maintained. The same shall be reviewed by the HSE
Department of the project.
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – X Page 225
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
Handling of Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste

accumulated, Organic Waste will be sent to Cement Industry for
incineration and Inorganic waste will be sent to TSDF for further
treatment and safe land fill.
• Industry will enter into an agreement with concerned Hazardous Waste
Management unit.
10.5 EB [ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY]
The project activity does not require tree cutting. Also, the study zone does not have
any ecologically sensitive location and hence, the plant activities are not expected to
have any impact on ecology and biodiversity.
Air emissions, liquid effluent disposal and solid waste generation are likely to have
some impact on terrestrial ecosystems. However there will be no net increase in air
pollution. Proponent will develop greenbelt around 35.8 % of its total area.
Management
• Raw material dispensing stations will be equipped with vacuum duct
hoods with top cover.
• All tanks vents being used for storage flammable chemicals will be
connected to respective condensers to avoid VOCs in the plant area.
10.6 SE [SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS]

10.7 HG [HYDROGEOLOGY, GROUND WATER & WATER CONSERVATION]
The entire Solapur District is occupied by lava flows of Deccan Basalt formation,
which constitute the main rock formation of the district. The important Water bearing
formations are Deccan Trap basalt and Alluvium.
Groundwater in Deccan Traps mostly occurs in the weathered and fractured parts
down to 10-15 m depth bgl. At places potential zones are encountered at deeper
levels in the form of fractures and inter flow zones which are generally confined
down to 60-80 mts in the district. The weathered portions of both vesicular and
massive units have better porosity and permeability. Intensity of weathering is less in
hilly regions of the district while it is higher in plain areas. The yield of dug wells
tapping phreatic aquifer ranges between 18-150 Cum/day, which have 1-12 mts
depth range. The above wells are generally drilled down to 40-60 mts tapping
weathered and fractured vesicular zones, these wells have a discharge of 120 -150
lpm. It is noticed and reported that the yields of wells drastically get reduced in
summer months beginning from March up to June end.
The width of the streams is narrow and follows the weak planes within the hard rock
formations.
Ground Water Conditions
Groundwater occurs under water table conditions in shallow aquifer and semi-
confined to confined conditions in fractured zones (Deeper Aquifers). The fractured
jointed vesicular basalt and massive basalt when overlain by red bole bed of
considerable thickness develops semi confined to confined conditions. Hence, the
red bole bed acts as a confining layer. The red bole bed being clayey in nature also
acts as a good barrier for the downward movement of water. The weathered and
jointed zone of massive basalt unit and vesicular basalt unit constitute the
unconfined aquifer, which are generally tapped by dug wells. The semi confined to
confined aquifers is tapped by dug cum bore well and bore wells. Twelve bore wells
were inventoried in the project and study area to assess the groundwater
conditions. The depth to water levels was found to be 15- 36 m during pre monsoon
while in summer it is reported between 20-40 m with yield ranges of 50 – 150 lpm.
The quality of water is found to be potable.

EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
The proposed area is categorized as safe by the Central Groundwater Board and
scope for development & stage of groundwater is 60%. MIDC Supplies water to the
industry. The Management already adopted roof top harvesting of monsoon by
constructing artificial recharge pit. The industry enclosure has vast open space which
itself acts as natural recharge pit. However, the artificial recharge structures are
depicted on EMP Map Plate-5 which might be taken up by the Management in
consultation with local government authorities.
Possible Impacts on Ground water & Mitigation
• The proposed project activity does not have any impact on Geology as the
project process does not involve any breaking of ground except grading of
land for infrastructure development. The project area is over Basalt.
• The generation of ash from the industry will have sedimentation affect over
the wind ward side on the soil regime as well as the study area over a period
of time affecting the Green cover/ plantation thereby affecting the growth of
plants / crops.
• The chemically loaded waste water leakage from the industry will adversely
affect the soil, surface and groundwater.
• There is no pumping of ground water on site and the entire water requirement
is met from the MIDC supply as the industry is located in notified Industrial
Park.
• The management is suggested to harvest the roof top water by constructing
water harvesting pit.
• The spillage of chemicals is to be totally avoided at the storage site for
possible contamination with the groundwater.
• Ash generation and storage will be monitored closely to avoid leakages and
will be disposed safely to the brick manufacturing industries and infrastructure
projects.
• The ash spreading in and around the plant will be avoided by storing under
closed conditions at dedicated place till it is disposed to users. The prevention
suggested is not to allow the waste water leakage from the industry by
implementing proper storage tanks for wastewater collection system.

10.9 SC [SOIL CONSERVATION]
The site is already isolated from the adjacent area by a compound wall. There is a
gentle gradient from west to the east. As the site located in a dry semiarid region
there are no chances of flooding or water logging. Natural drainage pattern shall be
maintained by retaining the present slope. Runoff water shall be diverted to the
greenbelt for percolation, soil and nutrient retention. The greenbelt area shall be kept
at lower level than the rest of the area in order to divert the rain water to the
greenbelt for trees and percolation. Suspended solids as well as the dissolved solids
shall be trapped in the greenbelt plots in which trees are grown. The plant litter shall
also be used as mulch and as organic fertilizer. Thus, it is proposed to integrate
greenbelt development with soil, nutrient and water conservation and rain water
harvesting. Farmyard manure and compost shall be applied liberally to enhance
porosity of the soil.
Top soil: Entire topsoil is going to be used within the project site for leveling.

10.11 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT
10.11.1 OBJECTIVE
The purpose of a green belt around the plant site is to capture the fugitive emissions
emanating from Plant operations, attenuate the noise generated and improve the
aesthetics.
Environmental protection has been considered as an important domain for industrial
and other developmental activities in India. Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has taken several policy initiatives and promoted
integration of environmental concerns in developmental projects. One such initiative
is the notification on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of developmental
projects issued in 1994 and further revised notification in year 2006 under the
provisions of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 EIA Guidance Manual for building,
construction, townships and area development projects proactively talks about the
importance of greenbelts in such projects.
Greenbelt in India refers to a Study area created beyond which industrial activity may
not be carried on. This concept has developed through a long line of cases and
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – X Page 230
EIA Report Urmila Chemopharma Pvt. Ltd.
today, greenbelts are present not only for the purpose of protecting sensitive areas
to maintain ecological balance, but are also be found in urban areas so as to act as a
sink for the harmful gases released by vehicles and industries operating in the city
area. In this regard, comprehensive Guidelines for Developing Greenbelts have been
compiled by the Central Pollution Control Board.
10.11.2 ACTION PLAN
The primary objective of management of flora and fauna is to conserve RET species,
if any. One CR bird (GIB) and two Schedule I mammals (Blackbuck and Wolf) have
been reported from the GIBS. But the boundary of the GIBS and the boundary of the
MIDC are contiguous and there are several industries within a short distance of about
100 m from the boundary of the MIDC. Compared with the established and existing
units adjacent to the GIBS, the proposed industry is at a distance of 2.45 Km from the
GIBS. It is a green field project and a thick greenbelt of 7 m is proposed to be
developed on all sides of the project site. Out of the total project site of 6000 Sq. m,
greenbelt shall be developed in an area of 2148 Sq. m (35.8% of total project site of
6000 Sq. m) at spacing of 2 m x 3 m (1500 trees per Ha). A total of about 320 trees
can be grown in the greenbelt after leaving some space for movement of men and
materials. Pits of 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm shall be dug out along the boundary and
filled with a mixture of garden soil, farmyard manure or compost up to a depth of 20
cm. The porous laterite rocks can be easily removed to make the pits. The final depth
of the pits shall be 30 cm and after transplantation of the saplings, the depth over the
top of the soil shall be 10 cm. This will serve to retain water and nutrients around the
saplings. Runoff water shall be diverted to the plantation easily and there is adequate
natural gradient. Because of the presence of porous laterite rock, rain water easily
percolates into the ground. Work on greenbelt shall be undertaken after the required
alternations / modifications and repairs. An amount of Rs. 4,00,000/- is allocated for
greenbelt and the amount will be spent in four years after construction, erection and
fabrication of the industrial units at the rate of Rs. 1,50,000/- each during the first two
years and Rs. 50,000/- each during the third and fourth years. Thereafter, the
Environment management cell will take care of maintenance.
A list of plants suitable for greenbelt and to the local agroclimatic conditions is given in
Table 10.1. Neem (Azadirachta indica), Peepal (Ficus religiosa) and Saptaparni
(Alstonia scholaris) are extensively gown and performing well in the area.

that the correct chemical received as well as discharged into the dedicated
tank.
• Barriers and flags should be positioned to warn personnel at the unloading.
• Brakes should be set and the wheels chocked.
• The truck should be earthed.
• Tanker should be kept under inert gas flushing through vent while unloading
• Make sure that the inert gas valve remains open during the entire unloading
period of delivery is by gravity or by pumping.
• Connect the flexible hose to the tanker and to the transfer pump
• Check liquid level gauge on storage tank to ensure liquid is being transferred
• When tanker is empty, stop pump and close valves on tanker, close valves in
transfer line.
[For flammable material, stop inert gas purge]
• Disconnect flexible hose and put into proper catch container to ensure no
product is lost on to the ground.
• Remove choked warning signs, earthing and switch locks
• Read storage tank liquid level gauge and record reading
ii) Storage/ handling/ transferring
Storage Tanks
• 2 or 3 Square meter condenser [depends on solvent volatility] with cooling
water circulation is connected to each solvent storage tank to prevent solvent
vapors escaping from tank surface in to atmosphere. The condensed solvent
will go to respective tank. This results in recovery of solvent and prevention of
VOCs into the atmosphere.
• The solvent pump which is having mechanical seal will be used for
transferring the solvent to the Day Tank of the respective reactor as and when
required. The entire solvent transfer takes place in a closed system. There is
no manual handling.
The above management will results in recovery of solvent more than or equal to
95%.

there is no loss of solvent during transfer.
iii) Reaction /Recovery
• During reaction stage the solvent vapors will be sent to a primary condenser
having cooling water circulation and later to secondary condenser having
temperature < 50 C chilled brine circulation.
• Above system will eliminate solvent losses during reaction stage and recovery
will be the maximum extent possible.
The above management will results in recovery of solvent more than or equal to 95%.
Solvents
• Solvent drums will be stored in ware house below 25 ⁰C
• As and when required the solvent drums in closed condition will be transferred
to the respective reactor. By using AODD pump the solvent will be transferred
in to the reactor. Hence, there is no loss of solvent during transfer.
• During reaction stage the solvent vapors will be sent to two primary
condensers which are arranged in parallel having cooling water circulation
followed by a secondary condenser having brine circulation at temperature of
5 ⁰C.
System will eliminate solvent losses during reaction and recovery will be the
maximum extent possible.

10.22 PROPOSED ROOF WATER HARVESTING
To augment the declining ground water levels and water harvesting is the need of
the hour.
Rainwater harvesting is a mechanism involved in collecting, storing and using. A
rainwater harvesting system comprises various stages – flow of rainwater through
pipes or drains, filtration and storage in tanks for reuse or recharge. There are five
components in rainwater harvesting namely catchment, conveyance, filtration,
storage and recharge.
Roof top area is considered for harvesting rainwater for this project and other areas
are excluded due to possibility of chemical contamination. Roof top rainwater
harvesting is one of the appropriate options for augmenting ground water recharge/
storage in urban areas where natural recharge is considerably reduced due to
increased urban activities and not much land is available for implementing any other
artificial recharge measure. Roof top rainwater harvesting can supplement domestic
requirements in rural areas as well.
