1.5 PURPOSE OF EIA STUDY
The concept of EIA has corollaries in the long run for almost all development
activity because sustainable development depends on protecting the natural resources
which is the foundation for further development. The main purposes of doing
environmental impact assessment study are:
To assess the prevailing environmental status within the study area around the
project site.
To critically analyze the various activity of the proposed project and identify
potential source of environmental pollution.
To assess the impacts of the proposed project on the environment.
To identify and assess significant impacts of proposed project on environmental
components through matrix method.
To suggest preventive and mitigation measures to minimize or avoid the adverse
impacts on the environment and to maximize the beneficial impacts.
To prepare Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and delineate post-project
environmental monitoring program to be pursued by the industries.
To prepare an EIA Study report and utilize it for applicable statutory clearances
for proposed project and/or any other management purpose.
Thus, the present EIA study will help the proponent in their planning of effective
control measures to avoid or minimize the likely adverse impacts on environment due
to their proposed project.
1.6 EIA – BACKGROUND
Any new industrial project or modification/modernization of existing one are
likely to affect the quality of surrounding environment. The nature and magnitude of
impacts on different components of the environment depend on the nature and size of
project as well as topographical conditions at the proposed project site. The final net
impact due to the proposed project on environmental components can be quantified
through Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Studies within the study zone prior to
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 10
its implementation. The results of EIA studies form the basis for preparation of a viable
Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
The EIA studies can be broadly divided in to three phases.
The first phase involves identification of significant environmental components
in the area where the project is located and assessing their baseline (pre-project
or existing) status within the study zone. In case of existing projects,
environmental performance of existing manufacturing/ pollution control plants
is also required to be covered.
The second phase involves prediction of impacts using dispersion models on
various identified significant environmental parameters due to proposed project.
Data regarding the proposed manufacturing activities, design capacity of the
pollution control units; fuel consumption; solid or hazardous waste, effluent
generation, characteristics of each disposal medium and topography of the
impact zone is also assessed to evaluate project related impacts.
The third phase includes the evaluation of final impacts and delineation of an
Environmental Management Plan to mitigate adverse impacts on the quality of
surrounding environment.
In order to have scientific assessment of projects, Ministry of Environment &
Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India (GOI) passed a Notification (called the EIA Notification)
in January 1994 (now replaced by New Notification Dated 14.09.2006) making it
mandatory for new projects/modification of existing ones in identified sectors to
conduct a Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study & submit an Environment
Management Plan on the basis of the same. The MoEF then scrutinizes the studies
carried out & the EMP prepared & then grants Environmental Clearance for the project.
Environmental Clearance is required to be taken „prior‟ to all other clearances.
Manufacture of Bulk Drugs unit & any new project/ modification/ modernization of
existing one require Environmental Clearance to be obtained from MoEF.

2.11POLLUTION POTENTIAL AND MANAGEMENT
The proposed project will have potential of pollution mainly due to the
wastewater generation& disposal, gaseous emission from process, flue gas emission
from utilities and hazardous waste generation & disposal. These potentials of pollution
are described below under respective heading with necessary details.
2.11.1 WATER POLLUTION
Water during operation phases for the proposed modification project is procured
through KIADB. Daily water requirement during operation phase is estimated as
31.5KLD, out of which approximately 1.5 KLD of water required for domestic
consumption, 4 KLD is for gardening and remaining 26KLD for industrial use. The
breakup of daily water requirement for operation phase is given in Table-2.10.
The total water required after modification would be about 31.5 KLD. The total
water requirement will be met from KIADB. Treated effluent will be recycled/reused
from ETP-ZLD in utility make-up thereby fresh water consumption will be reduced.
The proposal is to minimize the effect on the level of water table by working out reuse
of the treated water wherever it is possible thereby reducing the fresh water
requirement. The proposed wastewater generation will be 12.61 KLD from process.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 123
individual effluent will be pumped to the RCC lined tanks for storage and
neutralization then sent to ETP-ZLD.
Proposed MEE treatment plant will be constructed / installed above the ground
with water proof lining. This individual effluent will be pumped to the RCC lined tanks
for storage and neutralization then sent to ETP-ZLD of 20 KLD capacity within the
premises.
ETP–ZLD facility with primary (equalization and neutralization), secondary
(stripper with MEE, ATFD & biological) and tertiary treatment (PSF, ACF & RO) will be
provided. Domestic wastewater will be sent to biological treatment. Concentrate from
MEE system will be sent to ATFD.
2.11.2 AIR POLLUTION
The main source of air pollution will be flue gas emission and process gas
emission from the proposed project. There will be also chances of fugitive emission due
to manufacturing activities and storage, handing & transportation of raw materials
&products. Various potential of air pollution are described hereunder;
Gaseous emission from fuel burning, which consists of common pollutants like
SO2, NO2 and PM, would be discharged into atmosphere through 30 m height
stack with Multi-cyclone separator followed by Bag filter. All reactor vessels are
protected by primary and secondary condenser with circulation of cooling and
chilled water in order to prevent emission of volatile solvent. Reactors also
connected to multi-stage scrubbers to control the process emissions during the
reaction.
The hazardous chemicals and volatile organic solvents are carefully handled in a
closed system, thereby preventing any discharge of these chemicals into the air.
All internal roads are Cement concrete to reduce the fugitive emissions
Green belt will be further developed at the plant boundary as dust preventive
barrier.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 124
Flue Gas Emission:
Boilers and DG sets are the main sources which contribute to emissions from the
plant. The existing boiler will be utilized after the proposed project. Coal is being used
for steam generation, Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx) will be the major pollutants. The various measures proposed to
minimize the pollution from the boiler are: Multi-cyclone separator followed by Bag
filter is be installed to control the particulate (PM) emissions within statutory limit of
100 mg/Nm3. To facilitate wider dispersion of pollutants, suitable stacks height for each
boiler will be installed.
The NOx emissions from the boilers will be controlled by controlling combustion
measures, which will be approached by way of low NOx burners or by air staging in
boiler. The NOx emissions will be restricted to below 500 mg/Nm3.

All efforts will be made by the industry to carryout R&D on the wastes to recycle
/reuse wherever possible. However, R&D is a continuous process, where
improvements in the processes adopted by the industry, waste minimization etc. will be
worked out as the project progresses.
Following are some of the recycling options proposed by the industry.
Industry uses Zero liquid discharge plant to reuse all treated effluents as makeup
water for utilities like Cooling Tower/ Boiler. Thereby reduce the fresh water
consumption.
Industry proposing dedicated reactors for all products thereby reducing the
reactor washings
All solvents are recovered to the extent possible and reused in the process.
Organic residue and spent carbon will be sent to KSPCB Authorized Cement
industries to burn in Cement Kiln.
Boiler ash will be sold to Cement Brick manufacturing units.
Waste/Used oil will be sent to KSPCB Authorized Waste / Used oil Reprocessing/
recycling units.
Waste Lead acid batteries will be sent back to suppliers on buy- back basis.
Conservation of energy by implementing energy conservation methods/systems.

3. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
Baseline data describes the existing environmental status of the identified study
area with reference to the prominent environmental attributes. An area covering 10 km
radius, with project site as centre, is considered as the study area. The study area of 10
km radius around project is covered in survey of India topo sheet no. 56G/5, 56G/9
(1:50,000).
The existing environmental setting is considered to establish the baseline
conditions which are described with respect to geology, hydrogeology, climatic,
atmospheric conditions, water quality, noise quality, soil quality, vegetation pattern,
ecology, land use and socioeconomic profile of people.
The site-specific primary data were monitored for the identified parameters and
supplemented by the available secondary data. Secondary data was collected from
various Government and Semi – Government organizations. Baseline environmental
status is the most important study based on which probable impacts from the project
are predicted.
The EIA report incorporates the baseline data monitored for three months
covering Pre Monsoon Season (during October 2018 to December 2018). The study has
been conducted in accordance with the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF)
guidelines.
The main objectives of characterization are as follows:
To assess the existing baseline status of air, water, noise, land, biological and socio-
economic environments within the project site and around 10 km radius of the
study area.
To identify and quantify significant impacts due to the proposed activity on various
environmental components through prediction of impacts.
To evaluate the beneficial and adverse impacts of the proposed activity.

3.1.1 LAND USE PATTERN
Geology: The entire district forms a part of the Deccan Plateau and is made up
mostly of solidified lava. The northern part of the district is characterized by expanses
of level and treeless surface punctuated here and there by flat and undulating hillocks,
black soils and basaltic rocks. The southern half of the district is a high plateau about
715 m above mean sea level and is well drained. The average elevation of the district is
between 580 to 610 m above mean sea level. Alluvial deposit is normally found along
the banks of the Manjra River and its main tributaries.
The soils covering this region are black to deep brown in color which are rich in
humus and form some of the most valuable fertile lands in the country well suited for
cultivating pulses.
Physiographically, the district can be divided into two regions. They are northern
low lands and southern high lands. The southern high lands are popularly known as
Bidar plateau, which is made up of laterite.
The district is entirely covered by the Deccan trap flows of the tertiary period.
The Deccan trap is composed of horizontal flows of basaltic lava. They generally form
flat-topped hillocks and terrace-like features. The physical characteristics of individual
flows show considerable variations. Some flows are hard and massive while others are
weathered, soft and friable. This character has resulted in terraced landscape, suddenly
ending in escarpments. The traps are seen generally 618 m above mean sea level. These
are jointed and show the characteristics of spherical weathering leaving massive hard
cores. Columnar jointing is predominantly developed in these rocks, besides horizontal
joints, which impart to the rocks bedded appearance. The top layers of the Deccan trap
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 137
in parts of Bidar and Humnabad Taluk are altered to reddish vesicular laterite, forming
and extensive undulating plateau.
The minerals found in the area are Bauxite, Kaolin and Red ochre. A deposit of
highly siliceous bauxite clay has been located about three kilometers south of
Basavakalyan. Similar deposits are noticed near Alwal and Kamthana Villages of Bidar
taluk. A large deposit of Kaolin is located near Kamthana village. Red ochre deposits
are found near Sirsi and Aurad Village.
Soils: Two types of soils founds in the district are Lateritic red soil and black
cotton soil. Aurad and BhalkiTaluks have mainly black cotton soil. Bidar and
Humnabad Taluks have mainly lateritic red soil. Basavakalyan Taluk has both types of
soils.
Ground studies were conducted to identify the land use in and around 10 km
radius of the site. Representative soil samples were collected from- eight sampling
locations within an area of 10 km radius in and around the proposed project site for
analysis of the Physico chemical characteristics to assess the cropping pattern, microbial
growth etc. standard procedures were followed for sampling and analysis.
Soil samples were collected at different locations (Boreholes) within the Study
area; the sampling locations are given in table 3.3 and there locations on Topo sheet are
shown in figure 3.2
LABORATORY TESTING:
Following laboratory tests were conducted on soil samples for 9 sampling
locations as per the IS: standards and the results are tabulated in the Table-3.4.
The soil sampling locations are given in table 3.3.

3.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT
Water environment includes two environmental settings, i.e. ground andsurface.
Baseline data with regard to these environmental settings should be generated.
Industrialization at any region is contingent on the availability of sufficient water
resources as there would be a continuous requirement of water for various industrial
activities. The potential for exploitation and contamination of either or both surface and
ground water resources in the project area would increase through discharge of
effluents. In order to identify the possible impacts on water environment in the study
area due to the major industrial development project, the available water resources
have been collected and analyzed to assess the existing quality to represent the baseline
status of water environment.
The significant representative sampling locations for ground water and surface
water are chosen through reconnaissance of project area to determine the pre-project
status of the water quality in the study area. Physico-chemical and biological
parameters having relevance to public health and aesthetic significance are selected to
assess the water quality status with special attention to raw water resources for
proposed project. The standard methods prescribed for surface, groundwater sampling
as well as the analytical procedures for individual parameters is followed in this study.
DRAINAGE PATTERN
The drainage pattern in the district varies from sub-dendritic to dendritic and
some streams have a sub parallel drainage to the main river.
Major parts of the district are covered by Godavari basin, drained by its two
major tributaries the Manjara and the Karanja Rivers. The Manjara River is Perennial
River flows over a distance of 155 km in the central parts of the district and flow eastern
direction with a meandering course. The Karanja River flows in northern-western
direction for 74km with Karanja reservoir being major water source. The river
Mullamari takes its origin near Matala village of Basavakalyan Taluk flows from west to
east length of 38 Sqkm and then flows into Gulbarga district and joins the river Kagna.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 143
The KagnaRiver is one of the main tributary of Bhimariver. Besides, there are several
streams, which are of ephemeral in nature. The drainage pattern in the district varies
from sub-dendritic to dendritic and some streams have a sub parallel drainage to the
main river. Drainage map of the study area showing 5 Km is shown in Figure - 3.4
FIGURE-3.4: DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF THE STUDY AREA
HYDROGEOLOGY:
The entire district is underlain by lava flows of the Deccan trap except small area
covered with the laterites capping. Deccan trap consists of successive lava flows, almost
horizontal in disposition. Individual flows show considerable variation in physical
character, thickness, nature and extent of weathering etc. The basaltic lava flows are
generally dark, grey, hard and compact. Each lava flows normally consists two units
lower massive basalt and upper vesicular basalt. Secondary minerals like zeolites,
quartz, calcite or some earthy or ferruginous material fill the vesicles. Well-developed
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 144
columnar joints and spherical weathering are characteristic features of the massive
basalt. The massive basalt and vesicular basalt are similar in term of compositionally
and texturally.
3.2.1 GROUND WATER
Ground water is the accumulation of water below the ground surface, caused by
rainfall and its subsequent percolation through pores and crevices. Percolated water
accumulates till it reaches the impervious strata consisting of confined clay/rocks.
Occurrence of ground water is controlled by landform, structure and lithology. These
resources are predominantly exploited in most of the nearby villages only for domestic
and agricultural purposes. Ground water abstraction is by means of bore wells.
3.2.2 SURFACE WATER
The district has two river basins, the Godavari and the Krishna. Major parts of
the district are covered by Godavari basin, drained by its two major tributaries the
Manjra and the Karanja Rivers. The Godavari basin extends to over 4,411 Km2 of which
Manjra covers up to 1,989 Km2 and Karanja up to 2,422 Km2. The Manjra River is
Perennial River flows over a distance of 155 Km in the central part of the district and
flows in eastern direction with a meandering course. The Karanja River flows in
northwestern direction for 74 Km with Karanja reservoir being major water source.
Mainly the source of water in the region in from the groundwater and there are
no surface water body with in the study area, therefore groundwater samples are
collected from 9 different locations along with project site area and analyzed. The
description of the water sampling locations is as given in the table 3.5.
3.2.3 RECONNAISSANCE
To establish the baseline status of water environment, existing representative
sampling locations for surface water and ground water within a radial distance of 10
Km radial from the site, have been selected as per CPCB guidelines of Water Quality
Monitoring through an adequate survey of the project area. The prevailing status of
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 145
water quality at 9 sampling locations each for ground water and surface water has been
assessed during October 2018 to December 2018.
Grab samples were collected once during the study period. Physico-chemical and
microbiological parameters have been analyzed to establish the baseline status of
ground water resources in the study area. Methods as per IS (IS 10500:2012) were
adopted for analysis of these parameters. The sampling protocol specified in the
Guidelines for Water Quality Management, of CPCB was followed for sampling,
preservation and transport of samples to the lab.
Following are the water quality monitoring stations where the water samples
were collected for analysis during the study period.

3.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
3.3.1 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
The meteorological data recorded during the study period is very useful for
proper interpretation of the baseline information and selection of air quality monitoring
locations. Historical data on meteorological parameters will also play an important role
in identifying the general meteorological regime of the region.
The representative months for climate are divided into four seasons winter lasts
from January to February, summer lasts from March to May, South-West monsoon
rains from June to September and North-East monsoon rains from October to
December. (Ref: Assessment of Impact to Air Environment: Guidelines for Conducting
Air Quality Modeling, Central Pollution Control Board)
METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted for monitoring surface weather parameters is as per
the norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS:8829) and India Meteorological
Department (IMD). The study of micro-meteorological conditions of a particular region
is of utmost importance to understand the variations in ambient air quality status in
that region. The prevailing micrometeorology at project site plays a crucial role in
transport and dispersion of air pollutants released from the pollution sources. The
persistence of the predominant wind direction and wind speed at the project site will
decide the direction and extent of the air pollution impact zone.
Secondary information on meteorological conditions for the Bidar region was
collected from the IMD station at Bangalore. Data of previous years have been collected
and analyzed. Meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction,
maximum, and minimum temperatures, Relative humidity, atmospheric pressure,
recorded on monthly basis continuously covering the entire months. Wind speed &
Wind direction data recorded during the study period were used for computation of
relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions. The meteorological data
thus collected has been used for interpretation of the existing Ambient Air Quality
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 152
status, and the same data has been used for prediction of impacts of future scenario due
to the activities of the proposed scheme.
FIGURE - 3.7: WIND ROSE DIAGRAM
3.3.2 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING
The major objective of baseline air monitoring is to evaluate the existing air
quality of the area. Formulation of baseline Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) data of the
study area occupies a significant role in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies
in assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the
construction and operation of the proposed project.
RECONNAISSANCE:
The predominant monsoon winds persisting in India dictates the transport and
dispersion of air pollutants during different seasons. As per the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 153
Climatologicalconditions prevailing in India, the seasons accounted for carrying out air
pollution studies are winter, summer and post-monsoon seasons. After reconnaissance
of the area and observing the topographical features and review of the available
meteorological data and local conditions the sampling sites were chosen which will be
the representative of the local areas under study.
A preliminary survey was conducted at 9 AAQM locations along with the
project site (within the radius of 10 km) that were chosen based on the well-designed
ambient air quality stations network. The baseline status of air environment has been
assessed through ambient air quality monitoring (AAQM) network covering 9 sampling
locations considered based on the following criteria:
Micrometeorological conditions-Persistence of wind direction and speed,
atmospheric stability
Predominant upwind and downwind directions
Identification of regional background
Location of industries, their emission magnitude and topography of the study
area.
Determination of sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, thickly populated
residential localities.
Consideration of all the major conventional air pollution parameters as per latest
NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards)
An intensive monitoring was carried out as per CPCB guidelines (twice a week
sampling and 24 hour continuous sampling) to generate the baseline monitoring status
of air environment within the study area during the period of October 2018 to
December 2018.
The ambient air quality has been monitored for all the parameters as per NAAQS
notified on 16th September, 2009. The major air pollutants monitored on 24 hourly bases
are, Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5 µg/m3), Sulfur dioxide and oxides of Nitrogen.
Sampling and analysis of the above variables is according to the guidelines of Central
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 154
Pollution Control Board. Following are the air quality monitoring stations which were
identified during the study period.

3.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly evolved from industries,
constructions and transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise
and rail noise, poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution.
The noise generated due to operation of individual process units at an industrial
project site cause significant impacts on the surrounding environment including nearby
human habitats. Such operations fall in the category of continuous point sources of
noise generation. There is also some secondary noise sources associated with almost all
types of large scale industrial projects, which are mainly vehicles used for
transportation of materials as well as employees and material handling equipment at
the project site. However, such sources could be categorized as intermittent/continuous
noise sources depending on frequency/intensity.
The objective of noise pollution survey in the study area was to assess the impact
of noise generated by the existing noise sources in the region especially on the human
settlements. The noise levels of a region can be estimated from the cumulative noise
pressure levels considering all the noise pollution sources in the region and the
prevailing environmental conditions.
A reconnaissance survey was conducted with a view to establish the baseline
status of the environment with respect to the noise levels in the region particularly with
respect to industrial activity in the region, sound pressure levels (SPL) were measured
using precision sound level meter.
Survey was carried out in the following steps:
Reconnaissance
Measurement of background noise levels in the study area
Identification and characterization of noise sources
Measurement of prevailing noise levels due to vehicular movements
The impact of noise on the health of an individual depends on physical dose of
noise viz. Noise level, frequency spectrum, annoyance etc and human factors viz sex,
age health status, type of activity, occupational exposure etc. The impacts also depends
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 161
on psychological and physiological status of individuals, the impact due to noise do not
undergo seasonal variations except some directional changes depending upon the
environmental wind direction.
The baseline studies for noise environment have been carried out through
reconnaissance followed by field observations to identify the major activities
contributing to noise within the study area. A reconnaissance was conducted with a
view to establish the baseline status of the environment with respect to noise levels of
the plant area, surrounding villages and other centres of human activities.
Ambient noise monitoring was carried out in residential, commercial, silence
zones and roadside in the study area. The terrain of project site as well as in the
surrounding impact zone is highly undulated with hilly terrain and the area is under
the influence of noise generated by heavy traffic on highways as well as from
commercial activities in the individual villages.
The prevailing ambient noise levels were monitored using precision noise level
meter in and around 10Km distance in 9 locations during October 2018 to December
2018. The details of sampling locations are depicted in figure 3.10 and described in table
3.11.

3.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Study of biological environment is one of the most important aspects for
Environmental Impact Assessment, in view of the need for conservation of
environmental quality and biodiversity. Ecological systems show complex inter-
relationships between biotic and abiotic components including dependence,
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 165
competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises of both plant and animal
communities which interact not only within and between themselves but also with the
abiotic components viz. Physical and Chemical components of the environment.
Generally, biological communities are the good indicator of climatic and edaphic
factors. Studies on biological aspects of ecosystems are important in environmental
impact assessment for safety of natural flora and fauna information on the impact of
environmental stress on community structure serves as an inexpensive and efficient
early warning system to check the damage to a particular ecosystem. The biological
environment includes mainly terrestrial ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem.
An ecological survey of the study area was conducted particularly with reference
to recording the existing biological resources. Secondary data was collected from forest
department.

The people of Bidar District speak many languages and dialects. The erstwhile
rule of Nizams and the geographical location of the district next to Andhra Pradesh and
Maharashtra (Telugu and Marathi speaking States) have influenced the people to adopt
and speak Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Urdu and Telugu languages. The official language
Kannada is known to majority of the people. Education is imparted mostly in Kannada
but there are Urdu and Marathi medium schools as well. The Kannada language spoken
in the area differs widely from the one spoken in other parts of the State.
LITERACY AND EDUCATION
Bidar district has a good education background. The Mahmud Gavan Madrasa is
an evidence of that background. It has a comparatively better position with regard to
literacy and education. The literacy rate was 60.9 in 2001, which is lower than the state
average of 67.04 but is above that of the other two districts in the region. There are no
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 172
wide variations across the Talukas the Maximum-Minimum Ratio is 1.2:1, and
Humnabad, Basavakalyan and Aurad are below the district average. The lowest literacy
rate is in Aurad Taluk i.e. 57.9 per cent. The literacy rate has improved due to the efforts
under the D.P.E.P. programme and the literacy drive campaign. The urban literacy is as
high as 80 per cent in Bidar Taluk. But the quality of education has not improved, which
can be observed from the S.S.L.C. results where the district‟s rank is always the lowest.
It is also evident from the deteriorating teacher-student ratio in the district. The number
of students per teacher has increased from 39 in 1971 to 58, which is well above the ideal
norm of 40. This indicates the increasing enrolment of students but lower increase in the
number of teachers. The average number of students per primary school is 219.
Education:
As per 2011, village directory record excepting Kolhar village of Bidar Taluk all
the villages of study area are having educational facilities in the form of primary school.
Some village having Middle school and Secondary Higher Educational schools facility.
Infrastructure:
The infrastructure resources base of the study area with reference to education,
medical facility, water supply, post & telegraph, transportation & communication,
power supply facility is presented in subsequent sections. The infrastructure resources
details have been abstracted from village Directory CD-2011 of Karnataka state.

CHAPTER 4
4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTAND
MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental Impact Assessment is one of the tools available with the planners
to understand the impact that would emanate from the proposed expansion project.
The objective of Impact Assessment is to foresee the potential environmental problems
that would arise out of a proposed development and address them in the project‟s
planning and design stage. Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as
either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those which are attributed directly by
the project, secondary impacts are those which are indirectly induced and typically
include the associated investment and changed patterns of social and economic
activities by the proposed action.
Environmental Impact is any change in the environmental attributes, adverse or
beneficial, caused or induced by the proposed action or set of actions. The predicted
adverse impacts during each stage of project development are superimposed over the
baseline status of the existing environmental quality to infer the scenario of
environmental conditions in the post-project stage. The main purpose of identifying the
impacts is that it helps in adopting appropriate mitigation measures for the adverse
consequences if any. This chapter focuses on predicting and evaluating the various
significant impacts that are likely to occur. The impacts on the environmental indices
viz. air, water, soil, noise, biological and socioeconomic conditions are scrutinized
methodically and assessed. The most likely impacts on the environment due to the
proposed project need to be appraised during the two different phases of the project
namely pre-operation/construction phase and operation phase. The particulars on
impacts that could be triggered on the environmental attributes by the activities of the
proposed project are discussed below.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report

IMPACT NETWORK
The purpose of identifying the impacts is that it aids in making appropriate
decision to mitigate the adverse consequences if any. It may be pointed out that the
distinction between magnitude and importance of impact should be appreciated. Thus
the degree of extensiveness and scale of impacts and consequences based on value
judgments are generalized while identifying impacts. As it is imperative that the impact
will normally lead to a chain of reactions. The construction of network charts brings out
to certain extent the appropriate levels of risks that may occur due to the interventions
while interacting with hydrological, biological and social system. The identified impacts
for various components of environment viz. air, noise, water, land and socio-economic
aspects.

4.3 PREDICTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Prediction of impacts involves determination of nature and extent of impacts due
to the various activities to be involved in the proposed project. Generally, impacts are
classified as follows;
1. Positive or Negative
2. Short term or Long term
3. Direct or indirect
4. Reversible or irreversible
5. Quantifiable or non-quantifiable
6. Acceptable or conditionally acceptable or unacceptable
The proposed project is for expansion in existing manufacturing activities and
looking to themagnitude of project and pollution potential, impacts have been predicted
for following two classifications;
1. Positive or Negative
2. Short term or Long term
Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts are
quantitatively and qualitatively assessed. Prediction of impacts for the both
construction &operation phase is given in Table 4.2(a) and Table 4.2(b).

parameter
Impacts Mitigative measures
1 Water Short term
negative impacts
due to water
consumption &
sewage disposal
Water requirement for construction phase will be
very minor and for short period and that will be
fulfilled by same source as utilized for existing unit,
i.e. from through tankers. 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.
• Greenbelt development will have positive impact
on ground water table.
• Measures will be implemented to prevent seepage
of liquid materials into ground where it could
contaminate groundwater and soil.
Ensure prompt cleaning up of accidental spillages
Measures will be followed to prevent the contamination of hydrological features by diesel, grease, oil, etc. derived from the working area
The machinery / equipment will be maintained in a good operating condition
Specially designated areas will be created for vehicle maintenance
• Provisions will be made to ensure the construction
vehicles stick to the access track to prevent mud &
dirt being deposited on roads.
• All mud & dirt deposited on the roads from the
construction activities will be cleaned.
• Adopting good construction and engineering
practices will help in mitigating the water pollution.
2 Air Sort term
negative impacts
because of dust
emission due to
site cleaning,
road laying,
earthwork,
As this is the modification project, changes will be
carried out within the existing premises, very
negligible site cleaning will be required.
• Construction confined to proposed project site
will be carried out as per the requirement.
• The emissions will be temporary and confined
within proposed project boundary. It is not expected
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 186
transportation &
construction
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 raw material at site
The heights, from which materials will be dropped, will be the minimum practical height to limit fugitive dust generation.
Use of water sprinkling system at site for dust suppression
Provision of barricade sheet of steel sheet/ tin sheet of minimum 3 m heights to protect the surrounding area from the dust
All transportation vehicles will be suitably covered with tarpaulin & overloading of the vehicles will be avoided.
PUC certified vehicles will be used to avoid the exhaust emission.
• The construction activity will be carried out
during day time only.
• Existing greenbelt will have significant impact in
reduction of dust dispersion. Proposed Greenbelt
development will be started from the construction
phase.
3 Land Short term
negative impact
due to change in
top layer of soil
Modification will be carried out within the existing
premises. Therefore no change will occur in land
use pattern as well as there will not be any
significant topographical change. However,
temporary change in top layer of soil will be
occurred but the construction activity will help in
fixation of soil, thereby reducing the soil erosion.
• Top soil to be generated during construction
activity will be preserved and used for the green
belt development. Other excavated earth from the
construction activity will be used for the backfilling
and leveling in low laying area.
• Greenbelt development will have significant
impact in reduction of the soil erosion.
4 Noise Short term
negative impact
due to increase
in noise level by
site cleaning,
The noise impacts due to construction activities will
be local; limited to the premises and for very short
period of time.
• The noise generated from construction machinery
will be kept low by keeping the moving parts
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 187
4.5PREDICTION OF IMPACTS DURING OPERATION PHASE
Prediction of environmental impacts is the most important part of EIA study as it
provides quantitative information related to projection of possible environmental
consequences/impacts from a proposed modification project well in advance, i.e. prior
to its implementation based on the estimated pollution loads and surrounding local
conditions, viz. topography, existing environmental quality, type of effluent etc. Several
mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are available for predicting
impacts from any proposed developmental project on the surrounding physico-
chemical, ecological and socioeconomic components of environment.
The quantitative impacts derived through predictions are also essential to
delineate pragmatic environmental management plan, especially pollution mitigation
measures required to be implemented at different stages of proposed modification
project, i.e. detailed engineering stage, construction and operation phases for
minimizing the possible adverse impacts on the surrounding environment.

serviced and properly lubricated.
• The construction activity will be carried out
during day time only.
• Vehicular movement carrying raw 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.
• PUC certified vehicles will be used.
• Greenbelt development will have significant
impact in reduction of the noise.

6 Ecology Long term
positive impact
due to green belt
development
Unit has already provided greenbelt area in existing
premises and the same will be increased after the
proposed modification which will have positive
impact on local flora & fauna.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 188
The following activities related to operation phase will have various impacts on
the environment and are considered for impact assessment:
• Topography and Climate
• Air quality
• Noise levels
• Liquid Effluent Generation
• Solid / Hazardous Waste Generation
• Ecology
• Demography and Socio-economics
• Transportation
• Public Health and Safety
4.5.1IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
The major topographical changes envisaged would be manmade structures like
erection of production blocks, raw material storage space, civil structures, water /
wastewater storage tanks, etc. However, it will also invite some positive benefits in the
form of developed greenbelt in the plant premises. From the proposed modification
project the impact on the climate due to the exhaust gas temperature will be envisaged.
The maximum temperatures of the exit gas from the stack will be restricted to 150°C
during normal conditions. Normally, this will not cause any thermal imbalance. Impact
on the climatic conditions from the proposed plant will be marginal which can be
nullified / reduced by existing green belt.
4.5.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The main raw materials required for the proposed project are various chemicals,
solvents, etc., for production of Synthetic Organic Chemicals, Coal for boilers & and
Diesel for DG sets. The main sources of pollution envisaged from the proposed project
are as follows.
• Fugitive emissions
• Process emissions
• Boiler & DG set emissions (Flue Gas)

will be effectively by distillation unit for purity and can be reused. In case of mixture of
spent solvent, fractional distillation may be made to recovery on stage wise basis.
Other source of fugitive emissions, coal handling places and related dust
emanation is to be minimized by storing in the covered area and water spray system if
required especially during loading / unloading operations and at stock yard.

Apart from these, spillover of raw material in production units is to be avoided,
if any, relevant specific procedure to be followed to clean up the spill over material and
disposed environmental friendly after neutralizing or diluting effectively.
The solvents will be stored in drums and bulk quantities will be stored in above
storage tanks of suitable capacities. Solvents are handled in closed conditions thereby
reducing the losses in the form of evaporation. The industry will take measures for
reduction of fugitive emissions and further reduction will be achieved by providing
vent condensers to the tanks. Chilled brine circulation will be carried out to condensate
the solvent vapor and to the receivers of the solvent vapors which ensures the
maximum recovery 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 double condensers with receivers.
Solvent vapours from the Centrifuge and Catch pots will be connected to vent
condensers. Vent condensers will be provided to the solvent receiver tank and height of
the vent is above production block roof level and the diameter is 20 mm. The solvent
loss is depending on the boiling point of the solvent.
Solvent management for effective recovery:
Reactor will be connected to double condensers with Cooling and chilled
water/brine condenser system
Reactor and solvent handling pump will have mechanical seals to prevent
leakage.
Condensers will be provided with sufficient Heat Transfer Area (HTA) and
residence time so as to achieve maximum recovery
Solvents will be stored in a separate space specified with all safety measures.
Proper earthling will be provided in all the electrical equipment wherever
solvent handling is done.
Low boiling solvents storage tanks are insulated
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 192
Entire plant where solvents are used, the equipment‟s/pumps/fittings will be of
flame proof. The solvent storage tanks will be provided with vent condensers
and breather valve with nitrogen blanketing system to prevent losses.
FIG-4.6: SOLVENT RECOVERY BY DISTILLATION COLUMN
Mitigation Measures
To control the fugitive emissions generated during various operations in the
industry, the following mitigation measures will be adopted.
Dedicated pipe lines for transfer of solvents from respective solvent storage tanks
to day tanks and then to reactors in the production blocks.
All solvent storage tanks will be provided with vent condensers having cooling
or chilled water circulation.
All reactors will be provided by double condensers.
Mechanical seals will be provided for all the reactors for improving emission
control measures.
Mother liquors will be collected in closed drums.
Standby scrubbers will be kept ready for emergency use.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 193
Wherever possible pressure nutsche filters (PNF) will be used in place of
centrifuges to contain the solvents thereby reducing the solvent emissions.
4.5.2.2 PROCESS EMISSIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals will result in gaseous emissions.
Maximum Process emissions with their quantities and treatment method are presented
in Table 4.5. Gaseous emissions will be scrubbed in multi stages with water /caustic /
dilute HCl solution based on the characteristics of gases.
Mitigation Measures
The quantities of these gases will be insignificant and are not generated
continuously. These emissions are only product based and will be emitted only when
the specific product is under production. The acid mist emissions are liberated from the
process. The scrubbed solutions are sent for ETP for further treatment and reuse. The
vents of the scrubber‟s gases will be dispersed into atmosphere through a stack above
the production block.

4.5.2.3 FLUE GAS EMISSIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
During operational stage of the plant, Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide
(SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions would be the major criteria air
pollutants. However, the emission concentrations are insignificant. The impact on
ambient air quality is assessed hereunder considering the following:
Air quality impacts have been predicted assuming that the pollution load due to
the existing activities covered under baseline environmental monitoring Site-specific
meteorological parameters have been recorded by using continuous recorders. Short-
term 24 hourly GLC's incremental values were estimated using the site-specific
meteorological data.
Multicyclone separators and bag filters with a suitable stack height of 30m is
installed for controlling the Particulate emissions within statutory limit of 100 mg/Nm3
from the proposed coal fired boilers of 2TPH.
Stack emissions in this unit are from boilers and DG sets, which will be released
to atmosphere at elevated level at considerable level. DG sets will be used as standby
during power failure.

High efficiency particulate control system such as multi cyclone followed by bag
filter may be applied with guaranteed efficiency of 99.5% design, where in
appropriate cone length for efficient control of coarse particles in Multi cyclone
andbag filter design filtration velocity will be less than 1.5 m3/min/ m2 area.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 195
Regarding NOx emissions apart from low NOx burner, flue gas recirculation
system and stage based burning system may be applied, so that 25-30% of
further reduction of NOx can be achieved.
4.5.2.4 AIR QUALITY MODELING
The mathematical model stimulates the relationships between air pollutants
emitted from the source and their impact on surrounding air quality. Prediction of
impacts on air environment has been carried out employing mathematical model based
on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for multiple point sources
for short term.
In the present case, the software provided by „M/s Lakes Environment‟, Canada
ISC-AERMOD view is used for prediction of pollutants. It is a complete and powerful
air dispersion modelling package which seamlessly incorporates the popular U.S.EPA
models ISCST3, ISC Prime and Aermod into one interphase without any modifications
to the models.
AERMOD dispersion model is a steady state Gaussian plume model which can
be used to assess pollutant concentrations from a wide variety of sources associated
with an Industrial Source Complex.
POLLUTANTS/MODEL OPTIONS CONSIDERED FOR COMPUTATIONS
The model simulation deal with major pollutant emitted from the proposed
stack. The model options used for computation is as follows
i) The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always
limited to that of the mixing layer;
ii) Stack tip down-wash is not considered;
iii) Buoyancy Induced Dispersion is used to describe the increase in plume
dispersion during the ascension phase;
iv) Calms processing routine is used by default;
v) Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';
vi) Flat/elevated terrain is used for computations;
vii) It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 196
transformation and that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;
viii) Washout by rain is not considered;
ix) Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations; and
x) The model computations have been done for 10-km with 500-m interval.

Mitigative Measures
Presently unit uses coal as a fuel. An adequate stack height of 30.0 meter is
provided for proper dispersion of pollutant, which will also be adequate.
The adequate scrubbing system like water scrubber followed by alkali scrubber is
proposed to control the process gas emission from manufacturing activity.
In addition to the above, unit will take following adequate measures for the control
of fugitive emissions:
The entire manufacturing activity will be carried out in closed reactors/vessels
and regular checking and maintenance of the same will be carried out to avoid
any leakages.
All the motors of pumps for the handling of hazardous chemicals will be
flameproof and provided with suitable mechanical seal with stand-by
arrangement.
The control of all parameters on a continuous basis will be done by adequate
control valves, pressure release valves and safety valves etc.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 200
All the flange joints of the pipe lines will be covered with flange guards.
All the raw materials will be stored in isolated storage area and containers will
be kept tightly closed.
Precautionary measures will be taken while handling various hazardous
chemicals.
There will also provision of adequate ventilation system in process plant and
hazardous chemical storage area.
A regular preventive maintenance will be planned to replace or rectify all
gaskets, joints etc.
The unit will also expand green belt area within the factory premises to control
the fugitive emissions from spreading into surrounding environment.
Hence, there will not be any significant impact on air environment due to
proposed project.
4.5.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
With respect to water environment; three aspects are generally considered in
EIA, availability & requirement of fresh water, wastewater generation and its disposal.
Fresh Water Requirement:
Total water requirement for the proposed project is 31.5 KLD which will be met
from KIADB.
Unit will regularly check and maintain water consumption records after
proposed modification. The area falls in industrial zone, specifically chemical &
pharmaceutical industries and looking to the lot of sub-surface pollution in and around
the area and proposed handling of hazardous chemicals by the unit, it is not advisable
to recharge aquifer directly through the recharge well. However, recharge through
pond/tank or plantation is preferred in this area because in that case soil will act as
purifying media. Rain water can also be stored and utilized for plantation and other
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 201
purposes. Thus, it is suggested to collect, store and utilize the rain water for plantation
and other industrial purposes and/or to recharge aquifer through pond /tank.
Hence, there will not be any adverse impact on water environment due to water
availability and water requirement for the proposed project.
Wastewater generation:
Two different streams of effluent will be generated that is 1.3 KLD of domestic
waste water, 12.61 KLD of industrial effluent and cooling towers from the project.
Disposal of Effluent:
Two different streams of effluent will be generated and will be treated in
different treatment plant. Domestic sewage will be treated in biological treatment.
Effluent will be treated in ETP followed by MEE and AFTD.MEE flow diagram is
attached as ANNEXURE-10.
The unit has proposed to install their own Effluent treatment plant (ETP)
comprising of primary, secondary & tertiary treatment which will be adequate to
achieve the discharge norms prescribed by KSPCB. Treated water will bemused for
secondary purposes such as gardening purposes within the premises.
Separate drains for storm water and wastewater collection. Open drains for
storm water should be provided and be kept neat and clean all the time and free of any
cross connection from process source.

FIG-4.11: ZLD EFFLUENT TREATMENT FLOW SCHEME
The effluent generated from the industrial production process was treated using
forced evaporator. Forced evaporator is the system where the water heated up to the
temperature of 1150C to 1200C, than concentrated wastewater is cooled to room
temperature and filtered through nutch filter and then solid waste sent to the hazardous
waste disposal site. The filtrate generated is once again sent back to the forced
evaporator. And now wastewater generated from the industrial process and utilities is
taken to the treatment unit which is Multiple Effective Evaporator with Stripper and
ATFD. This individual effluent will be pumped to the RCC lined tanks for storage and
neutralization then sent to ETP-ZLD of 20 KLD capacity within the plant premises. The
wastewater contains some organic residues which will be stripped at the stage of
stripping and taken in to further stage. The stripped wastewater will be sent to solvent
recyclers for recovery of the solvent.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 203
As the industry is required to operate and maintain the effluents quality within
the limits specified by the CPCB/SPCB, the effects of the industrial effluents may be
negligible. Regular monitoring of these parameters in effluent generated by industry
will help in keeping check in any contamination or surpassing of any set standard and
thus treated quality of water will be maintained. Thus, it can be concluded that there
will not be any adverse and negative impact on the surrounding environment due to
the treated effluents from the industry.
There will not be any discharge of wastewater on the land. Besides, there will be
separate storm water and industrial wastewater drains to eliminate chances of mixing
of rainwater with wastewater. Hazardous wastes will be stored, managed and handled
as per hazardous wastes rules. All bulk chemicals and fuel storage areas will be
provided with dyke wall/bunds to eliminate chances of any spillages/leakages
entering into the storm water drain. No significant adverse impact on the surface and
ground water or soil quality is envisaged in view of the proposed mitigation measures.
4.5.4IMPACT ON LAND USE
The modification unit has been proposed in existing area consist of Built-up area,
greenery, BT/CC roads area, Parking area and Open / lawn area etc., which is under
possession of project proponent. Hence, there are no R&R issues involved in the
proposed project as it is Notified Industrial area. About 40% of the land area will be
developed as greenbelt.
There is no ecologically sensitive area within 10 km of radial distance from
proposed project boundary. No wildlife sanctuaries, National parks, Tiger or elephant
reserves exist in10 km radius. Also no migration route of avifauna present in 10 km
radius. 4 reserved forests blocks are at a distance of within6 km from project boundary
of the project site.
4.5.4.1 IMPACT ON SOIL
Spillages such as wastewater/solid wastes/raw materials are expected /possible
and the risk of this would be limited to within the premises of the manufacturing
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 204
facility. A precautionary measure like spillage control management is practiced in the
industry. Hence, there is no impact on the top soil.
The Hazardous / solid waste generated will be stored in the covered area till it is
disposed the SPCB authorized Cement industries/ TSDF. Hence, apart from very few
localized construction impacts at the plant site, no significant adverse impact on soil in
the plant premises area is anticipated.
4.5.4.2 IMPACT DUE TO HAZARDOUS / SOLID WASTE GENERATION
All process waste is considered as hazardous waste and segregated into process
organic residues, Inorganic salts and spent carbon. The organic residues and spent
carbon disposed to cement units, agreement copy is attached as ANNEXURE-7 for use
as alternate fuel either in the solid or liquid form as recommended by CPCB. Inorganic
salts are sent to landfill at TSDF. Solid waste generated from the different sections of
proposed Synthetic Organic Chemicals plant is presented in Table 4.8. Hazardous /
Solid waste will be segregated, detoxified and collected in the HDPE drums/bags and
will be stored in the covered and raised platform with leachate collection system till its
disposal. Boiler ash will be sold to brick manufacturers. All wastes including hazardous
& non-hazardous wastes will be disposed through the method approved/permitted by
the competent authority.
Hence, issues of impacts on land due to the solid/hazardous waste are not
envisaged. In addition to these mitigation measures, proponent will be dedicated to
maintain healthy greenbelt, which can have beneficial impact to land use, land cover
and for prevention of erosion of topsoil.

Fly ash utilization with its action plan:
In the present case generation fly ash from boiler is around 0.3MTPD. Hence,
collection and storage system may be given due importance i.e. not to emanate to
atmosphere and contaminant to water and soil. Stored bulk material should be utilized
in brick manufacturing units through respective users and disposed accordingly.
Industry has entered into an agreement with Brick manufacturing industries
(Annexure-8).
Development of Green Belt
The unit has been developing green belt in the area admeasuring 5615 Sqmt
(40%) within the existing premises. The green belt area will not only improve the
landscape and environment but also enhance soil conditioning, prevent soil erosion
which gives slight beneficial impact on the land usage.
4.5.5 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVEL
In general any industrial complex has several sources of noise in clusters or
single. These clusters/single sources may be housed in buildings of different
dimensions made of different materials or installed in open or covered sheds. The
material of construction implies different attenuation co-efficient. The major sources of
noise pollution are from the proposed modification plant is due to stationary sources.
There is no major noise generating operations envisaged in the plant. The only
noise generating sources are DG sets, motors and rotating machinery like
pumps/blowers/compressors etc. DG sets will be installed with inbuilt acoustic
enclosures.
Low noise and noise reduction will be a part of design specification for all future
plant equipment‟s. The limiting noise level of 85-90 dB (A) will be binding for all
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 206
machinery under inspection and is an integral part of the routine preventive
maintenance. Noise generating units are isolated and sensitive areas like canteen,
administration building and plants are provided with enclosure doors. The noise levels
at the plant boundary with Greenbelt are significantly below 55 dB (A). There is a
considerable distance between the surrounding community and the plant boundary to
effect adequate noise attenuation.
The findings indicate that no significant impacts due to noise pollution are
expected, due to the enhancement in production capacity. Besides this other noise
control measures are as follows:
Noise attenuating devices like earplugs and earmuffs have been provided to the
workers exposed to high noise level area like DG Sets.
Sufficient green belt is being maintained in & around the plant premises.
Regular monitoring of noise level is being carried out and corrective measures in
concerned machinery are being adopted accordingly.
4.5.5.1 IMPACT ON COMMUNITY
Greenbelt developed around the periphery of the premises will also act as a
barrier to the propagation of noise from the factory premises. This will further reduce
the noise levels from the generation sources. The cumulative impact of all noise sources
at boundary will be less than 55 dB (A). There will not be much effect on the nearest
village (habitation), which is 1 km distance from the project boundary. Hence, no
significant impact is envisaged.
It is, therefore, expected that noise level at the plant boundary will be within the
prescribed norms of CPCB due to operation of the proposed modification project and
hence no significant adverse impact on noise environment is expected.
4.5.5.2 IMPACT ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH (WORK ZONE)
The noise sources include boiler, cooling tower, DG sets and compressors etc. It
is observed that noise levels inside the process units will not exceed 65 dB (A).
However, impacts on the working personnel are not expected to be significant on
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 207
account of the regular maintenance of the plant, which means that workers will be
exposed for short duration only and that too intermittently. However, exposure to noise
to individual workers will be below 90 dB (A) (for 8 hours shift) because of use of
earmuffs.
The noise generation during operation phase would be at source itself through
different measures such as inspection, operation and maintenance at regular intervals.
The noise control measures described in environmental management plan will be
followed. The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of 8-hourly time
weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standards (<90dB(A)). Hence, the impact on
occupational health of workers would be insignificant.
4.5.6 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The impact due to the proposed project on the ecological parameters like natural
vegetation, crops, forests and species diversity is summarized in below texts:
The proposed modification is carried out within the existing industrial premises.
Hence, there will not be any cutting of natural vegetation due to proposed
modification. On the contrary, the industry will expand its green belt area within
and surrounding periphery.
Necessary environmental protective measure have been planned under EMP for
air, water and hazardous waste management systems and regular environmental
surveillance will be carried out so as to prevent any short-term or cumulative
effect on the crops and natural vegetation of the area.
Industrial treated effluent conforming to the discharged norms by KSPCB will be
utilized for greenbelt development within the premises.
There is no national park or sanctuary within the study area.
No rare and endanger flora & fauna is reported within the study area.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 208
4.5.7 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The proposed project is in a well-established and industrial notified estate. Thus,
the said project will not have any significant impact on Socio-economic pattern of the
surrounding region. The project shall generate indirect employment opportunities,
which will contribute to social upliftment of the people in surrounding area.
a) Employment Opportunity:
Prediction of the socio-economic impacts of site would be totally a positive
mainly due to the employment opportunities. At present total 20 nos. of workers are
placed for management and production department for existing unit, which there will
be no increased in population after modification. The preference will be given to local
population for employment in the semi-skilled and unskilled category; this will increase
the employment opportunity in the surrounding area. Secondary jobs are also bound to
be generated to provide day-to-day needs and services to the work force. This will also
increase the demand for essential daily utilities in the local market and ancillary
business development to some extent for the local population. Thus, the proposed
project is expected to create a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic
environment.
b) Industries:
During the operation activities, the required resources are consumed maximum
from the local area and same practice will continue after the modification. The
increasing industrial activity will boost the commercial and economical status of the
locality, to some extent.
c) Public Health:
Same as the existing plant, workers will be provided after proposed
modificationwith basic amenities like safe water supply, low cost sanitation facilities,
first aid, required personal protective equipments, etc.; otherwise there could be an
increase in diseases related to personal hygiene. Moreover unit is carrying out CSR
activities in nearby villages in the field of medical facilities, public health and green belt
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 209
development; this has contributed to improve the public health in the region to some
extent. The unit also intends to continue such activities with the increased budget in the
region after the modification project.
4.5.8 LAND ENVIRONMENT AND ASTHETICS
The required plant & machinery for the full production capacity will be installed
within the said premises. No new land is to be acquired for the proposed project. Thus,
no adverse impact is likely to be generated on the land environment and general
aesthetics of the area.
Construction Phase is for small period during erection and installation of
machineries and therefore there is no question of impacts on land use pattern. During
operational phase, there will not be any effect on land.
Adequate air pollution control equipments at various pollutant generation
sources shall be proposed. Adequate height of the stack will help in dispersing the
pollutants emitted from the stacks effectively into the atmosphere.
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC AMENITIES
The impact of economic development on civic amenities will be substantial as the
industry is located in Notified Industrial Area. The area has already experienced a good
network of roads and communication. Industry is about 700m from State Highway No.
105. Many villages have been electrified during the last decade. Although the level of
existing communications and support services in the area are adequate, modification of
the proposed unit would further strengthen these services. After modification vehicle
movement of the industry will be no increase in numbers of vehicles. Industry
earmarked the adequate parking area for the above vehicles separately. Hence, it can be
said that the proposed modification project will have a positive impact on the study
area.
Traffic management
The project site is connected to the SH-105 at the West side of the project site. The
project site is having well established internal road with the tar finishing and they are in
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 210
good condition. Traffic movement is controlled within the project site by monitoring the
movement of the vehicle and proper signage boards are provided for smooth running
of the vehicle. To analyze the traffic level, traffic survey has been carried out on the SH-
105 and details as follows.

4.5.9 ODOUR CONTROL MEASURES
All operations will be carried out in closed system, vents of the batch tanks and
solvents will be connected to scrubber to avoid every possibility of odour
escaping into atmosphere.
Green belt will be developed covering 40% of the total project area, around the
plant boundary as dust preventive barrier and help to reduce odour.
The operation of centrifuging/ filter will be done in closed system to avoid any
vapors coming out in the local atmosphere. The vents of centrifuges/filters will
be connected to scrubbers.
Most effective way of controlling odour is by storing volatile materials in closed

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental monitoring is an essential tool for sustainable development
&ensuring effective most implementation & monitoring of environmental management
plan& mitigation measures. It is also very essential to keep updating the environmental
management system for effective conservation of environment along with ongoing
project activities/operation. The environment monitoring plan enables environmental
management system with early sign of need for additional action and modification of
ongoing actions for environment management, improvement & conservation. It
provides exact idea for mitigation measures to be implemented as it is linked with
actual distraction of environmental quality due to the project activities. Hence,
monitoring of critical parameters of environmental quality is very essential in the
routine activity schedule of project operation. An Environmental Monitoring
Programme shall be scheduled for the following major objectives:
Assessment of the changes in environmental conditions, if any, during the
project operation/activities.
Monitoring & tracking the effectiveness of Environment Management Plan&
implementation of mitigation measures planned.
Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental
condition to plan additional mitigation measures
The primary aim of environmental monitoring program is to formulate a
systematic, site-specific plan for monitoring the environmental parameters within the
impact area, during and after commissioning of the project, which would aid in
assessing the effectiveness of mitigation and environmental protection measures
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 214
implemented for the proposed project based on the existing environmental scenario and
the probable environmental impacts appraisal.
For each of the environmental attributes, the monitoring plan specifies the
parameters to be monitored, location of monitoring sites, frequency and duration of
monitoring and it also denotes the applicable standards, implementation and
supervising responsibilities.
6.2 OBJECTIVES OF MONITORING
Ensure day to day operational activities are conducted in a manner in
compliance with the applicable regulatory approvals including legislation and
industry standards
Evaluate the adequacy of mitigation and pollution control measures
implemented for reducing the adverse impacts caused during the construction
and operation stage and suggest additional mitigation measures, if appropriate,
in the light of the results
Define a detailed framework to monitor and document for achieving full
compliance with statutory requirements
Encourage good environmental management practices through planning,
commitment and continuous improvement
Develop clearly defined environmental monitoring program designed to assess
the nature and extent of environmental impacts of the proposed operations and
progressively refine such programs against the targets.
To handle hazardous wastes as per the Hazardous Waste (Management and
Handling) Rules, 1989 and subsequent amendments
Define roles and responsibilities of site personnel and ensure that all people
onsite are fully informed of their responsibilities and accountabilities with regard
to the environment

expenditure, Continuous development and search for innovative technologies
for a cleaner and better environment
6.3 MONITORING SCHEDULE
Environmental Monitoring Schedules are prepared covering various stages of
project advancement such as constructional phase and regular operational phase.
6.3.1 MONITORING SCHEDULES DURING CONSTRUCTIONAL PHASE
Environmental impacts during the construction phase can be attributed to the
site preparation activity and the mobilization of workforce. The impacts of the
construction phase on the environment would be basically of transient nature and are
expected to wear out gradually on completion of the construction programme.
However, once the construction of the project is completed and its operations started,
these operation stage impacts would overlap the impacts due to the construction
activities.
In order to mitigate such impacts and restrict them within tolerable levels, the
following measures shall be adopted:
Proper and prior planning of approach and access roads, and appropriate
sequencing and scheduling of all major construction activities.
Adoption of appropriate soil conservation programme and its timely
implementation in the proposed project site.
Initiation of an appropriate landscape programme including plantation of trees
and flowering plants in and around the project site particularly, at all available
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 216
spaces which would serve the dual purpose of controlling fugitive dust and
abatement of noise levels in addition to improving the aesthetics of the area.
Water sprinkling in the vulnerable areas to suppress the dust generated during
leveling and other operations.
Use of properly tuned construction machinery & vehicles in good working
condition with low noise & emission and engines turned off when not in use.
Control of quality of construction wastewater within the construction site
through suitable drainage system with traps for arresting the sediment load for
its proposed disposal into the main natural drainage system around the site.
Implementation of suitable disposal methods of sediment at designated places to
avoid water logging at construction site.
Provision of protective gears such as ear mufflers etc. for construction personnel
exposed to high noise levels and locating the temporary labour sheds for housing
the construction laborers away from the construction site.

CHAPTER 7
7. ADDITIONAL STUDIES
7.1 RISK ASSESSMENT
Hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the various
hazards (unsafe conditions) that exist in the plant. On the other hand, risk analysis deals
with the identification and quantification of risks, the plant equipment and personnel
are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the hazards present in the plant.
Risk analysis involves the identification and assessment of risks to the
neighbouring populations is exposed to as a result of hazards present. This requires an
assessment 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.
In the sections below, the identification of various hazards, probable risks
involved in the chemical industry, maximum credible accident analysis, consequence
analysis are addressed which give a broad identification of risks involved in the
process. Based on the risk estimation for fuel and chemical storage, Disaster
Management Plan (DMP) has been prepared.
There is always possibility of occurrence of incidents in an industry which
requires properrisk assessment and proper safety preparedness. Activities requiring
assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident
are both onsite and off-site.
On-site:
Exposure to fugitive dust, Chemicals, noise, and other emissions
Housekeeping practices requiring contact with solid and liquid wastes
Emission/spillage etc. from storage & handling
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 222
Off-site:
Exposure to pollutants released from offsite/ storage/related activities
Contamination due to accidental releases or normal release in combination with
natural hazard
Deposition of toxic pollutants in vegetation/other sinks and possible sudden
releases due to accidental occurrences
Risk assessment often requires the synthesis of risk profiles, which represent the
probability distribution of total annual loss due to a certain set of events or activities.
These assessments usually involve estimation of losses for several sub-classifications of
the overall process and synthesis of the results into an aggregate risk profile.
An important element of mitigation is emergency planning, i.e. identifying
accident possibility, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the
emergency procedures, both on site and off site that would need to be implemented in
the event of an emergency.
Impact of the project
Major risks involved in the chemical industry are:
Fire in Electric Panels, oil room and chemical storage.
Waste treatment processes.
Cleaning of barrels, which have held chemical substances.
Cable rooms, transformer, unit, auxiliary transformers, oil tanks, etc. within the
plant are the likely areas for which disaster management plan is to be made to deal with
any eventuality of fire. Stores, workshop, canteen and administrative building will be
included.
7.2 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A major emergency in an activity/project is one which has the potential to cause
serious injury or loss of life. It may cause extensive damage to property and serious
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 223
disruption both inside and outside the activity/project. It would normally require the
assistance of emergency services to handle it effectively.
An important element of mitigation is emergency planning, i.e. identifying
accident possibility, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the
emergency procedures, both on site and off site that would need to be implemented in
the event of an emergency.
Emergency planning is just one aspect of safety and cannot be considered in
isolation from the proposed project and hence before starting to prepare the plan, works
management will ensure that the necessary standards, appropriate to safety legislation,
are in place.
OBEJECTIVE
The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be:
To localize the emergency and, eliminate it; and
To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property.
Elimination will require prompt action by operations and works emergency staff
using, for example, fire–fighting equipment, water sprays etc.Minimizing the effects
may include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation and giving information
promptly to people living nearby.
Safety Measures for Storage & Handling of Chemicals:
The chemicals will be directly fed to the bottling unit mechanically and no
manual handling will be involved which will reduce the risk of spillage in the storage
area. Following precautionary measures would be taken for safety:
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keeping away from heat, sparks and open flame, care will
be taken for avoidance of spillage, skin and eye contact, well ventilation, Use of
approved respirator if air contamination is above acceptable level will be promoted. For
Storage and handling following precautions will be taken:
Keeping away from oxidizers, heat and flames.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 224
Avoidance of plastics, rubber and coatings in the storage area.
Cool, dry, & ventilated storage and closed containers.
Grounding of the container and transferring of equipment to eliminate static
electric sparks.
In case of any emergency following measures would be taken:
First Aid Measures: For Skin contact, Eye contact, & Inhalation.
Fire Fighting Measures:
Use of extinguishing media surrounding the fire as water, dry chemicals, Sand, etc
Foam system for fire freighting will be provided to control fire from the chemical
storage tank. The foam thus produced will suppress fire by separating the chemical
from the air (oxygen), and hence avoiding the fire & explosion to occur in the tank.
Foam would blanket the fuel surface smothering the fire. The fuel will also be
cooled by the water content of the foam.
The foam blanket suppresses the release of flammable vapors that can mix with the
air.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures; Keeping the fire upwind. Shutting down of all
possible sources of ignition, keeping of run-off water out of sewers and water
sources. Avoidance of water in straight hose stream which will scatter and spread
fire. Use of spray or fog nozzles will be promoted, cool containers will be exposed
to flames with water from the side until well after the fire is out.
RISK MITIGATION MEASURES:
The material handled at the proposed installation is inflammable and reactive
substance and based on the consequence analysis; the following measures are suggested
as risk mitigation measures
Smoke and fire detectors should be suitably located and linked to fire fighting
system to reduce the response time and ensure safe dispersal of vapours before ignition
can occur.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 225
Training in fire fighting, escape action, operation of emergency switches etc. is
vital. Emergency procedures should be well rehearsed to achieve state of readiness.
7.3 EMERGENCY PLANNING
General: Disaster Management Plan for an industrial unit is necessarily a
combination of various actions which are to be taken in a very short time but in a
present sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or
major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men, material, plant/machinery etc. to
the minimum.
The main functions of the Disaster Management Cell are to prepare a detailed
Disaster Management Plan, which includes:
Identification of various types of expected disaster depending upon the type of the
industrial unit.
Identification of various groups, agencies, departments etc. necessary for dealing
with a specific disaster effectively.
Preparation– by intensive training of relevant teams/groups within the
organization to deal with a specific disaster and keep them in readiness.
Establishment of an early detection system for the disaster.
Development of a reliable instant information/communication system.
Organization and mobilization of all the concerned
departments/organizations/groups and agencies instantly when needed.
A major disaster that can be expected due to fire in this proposed distillery.
Objective of the plan: The plan is developed to make best possible for the proposed
plant were:
Rescue the victims and treat them suitable.
Safe guard others (evacuating them to safer places).
Contain the incident and control it with minimum damage.
Identify the persons affected.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 226
Preserve relevant records and equipment needed as evidence incase on inquiry.
Rehabilitate the affected areas.
IDENTIFICATION OF MAJOR HAZARDOUS: From the preliminary risk assessment study
presented in above chapter of this report, some of the possible hazards are Methanol.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN: The plan will set into action immediately after a fire occurs
inside the plant. However fire hazard will be restricted to fuel tank storage area only
and hence to major disaster is envisage.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
All non-routine work etc. should be carried out under a permit system.
Adequate number of caution boards high lighting the hazards of chemicals to be
handled, eye bath and emergency showers should be provided at critical location.
Adequate number of absorbents should be placed at accessible locations in the tank
farm area as well as in the pump house that would enable to contain spills
immediately.
Adequate color coding and labeling of the pipelines should be provided for easy
identification of products proposed to be handled through them.
The damage distance due to any failure could be reduced, by reducing the time
required to stop the leak, which in turn would reduce the quantity of spillage. The
response time could be reduced by installing/maintaining instruments, effective
communication system, etc.
It is recommended that rubber mats be provided in front of electrical panel of the
entire plant with a view to prevent employees from receiving electric shocks.
It is suggested that all type of fire extinguishers be placed at appropriate places for
easy access in case of emergency.

10.1 INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable
development in the study area of the proposed modification plant, hence it needs to be
an all encompassing plan for which the plant authorities, Government, regulating
agencies like Pollution Control Board etc., working in the region and more importantly
the population of the study area need to extend their cooperation and contribution.
The details/data provided by project proponent about the proposed
modification project (technical data, approach to environmental protection etc.) and the
pre-project (baseline) environmental status monitored through field surveys by M/s
ENVIRO RESOURCES Mumbai and Lab teams during post - monsoon season (October
2018 to December 2018) have formed the basis to predict the impacts on all individual
componentsof environment. In view of the above, project proponent will maintain the
specifications/details/ data as provided for preparation of this report or may try to
improve further towardsenvironmental betterment protection during various phases of
implementation of proposedmodification project. The environmental management plan
relevant to construction andoperation phases is delineated in the following sections:
The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to
the maximum possible extent with the available and affordable technology followed by
treatment measures before they are discharged/recycled/reused. Specifically, the EMP
lays stress on key environmental aspects with mitigation measures and issues of the
modification project during construction and operation phase by:
Identifying potential environmental impacts.
Recommending mitigation measures for the negative impacts.
Identifying opportunities for enhancement measures.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 244
Upgrading the organizational framework for operating environmental
management system and other functions of the modification project by assigning
roles and responsibilities for existing environmental monitoring and
management.
Formulating Environmental Action Plans (EAPs) which specify mitigation,
periodic and annual monitoring activities during modification project
implementation and operation.
The potential environmental impacts from the proposed modification project are
identified and the magnitude of these impacts also predicted. The potential
environmental impacts to be regulated from the proposed modification plant are
summarized below:
Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter, sulphur dioxide & oxides
of nitrogen mainly from boilers, DG sets and process emissions from
manufacturing products.
Fugitive emissions for material / solvent handling.
Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment.
Wastewater generation from processing units as well as from domestic activities.
Hazardous/Solid waste generation from manufacturing/utilities/warehouse etc.
In order to minimize these adverse impacts and to ensure that the environment
inand around the project site as well as the neighboring population is well protected;
aneffective EMP is developed for construction phase as well as operation phase of the
project.
10.2 CONSTRUCTION PHASE
10.2.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The construction activities and vehicular traffic contribute increase in PM, SO2
and NOx concentrations. The mitigation measures recommended to minimize the
impacts are:
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 245
Water will be sprinkled on loose topsoil to re-suspension of dust in to ambient
air due to movement of vehicles etc.
Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment.
Since electrical power is available in the project site, attempts will be made to
utilize the electrically powered machinery to the extent possible to minimize the
gaseous emissions during construction and
As far as possible, construction activities will be restricted to daytime only to
minimize disturbance during night time.
10.2.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The wastewater from construction equipment will contribute to increase in
pollutant concentration like oil and grease. However, the following mitigation measures
are recommended to minimize the impacts:
Provision of sanitation facilities in the modification project for the workforce
with a provision of sending sewage to effluent treatment plant (ETP) and
Waste oil collected in the oil trap will be sold to authorized recyclers for off-site
recycling.
Utilizing the wastewater back into the utilities/construction purpose.
10.2.3 SOLID WASTE
Solid waste generation during construction work will be construction debris like
rubble, brick bats, debris, steel scrap, wooden scrap, sand gravels etc. However these
materials are inert in nature and will not leaching of any substances or constituents.
These materials will be properly stored and will be used with in premises for
filling of low lying area. Wooden scrap, steel scrap will be given to scrap dealers. On
completion of civil work, all debris etc. will be completely removed from site to avoid
any incompatibility with future use.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 246
10.2.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Operation of construction equipment and vehicular traffic contribute to the
increased noise level. The noise effect on the nearest inhabitants during the construction
activity will be negligible, as the noise levels will be dissipated within the project site
area itself. Nevertheless, the following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Good maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment.
Restriction of construction activities to day time only.
Trees planted around the plant boundary to attenuate the noise and
All construction workers working in high noise area will be provided
appropriate Personal Protective Equipments like ear muffs and to wear them

to avoid any incapability with future use.
Other materials like paints, diesel etc. will be properly stored and handled by
prevent any spillage on land.
All the wastes are stored at a designated site within the premises to prevent
scattered discharge on land.
10.2.6 ECOLOGY
The proposed project shall come up in the existing premises. Hence, no tree
cutting exercise will be there and no major impact on ecology is anticipated.
However possibility of rising of green-belt along with construction activity will
be explored so that greening of area can be started at the beginning of project.
10.2.7 SITE SECURITY AND MIGRANT LABOURERS
The modification site is secured with compound wall and manned entry points.

workforce. Separate toilets for women are provided and marked in a vernacular
language with conspicuous letters for women only. A poster showing the figure of a
man and woman will also be exhibited at the entrance to toilets.
10.3 OPERATION PHASE
During operation stage the major pollution from the proposed modification is
from liquid effluents from process, utilities and domestic facilities. Air pollution from
combustion of fuels (Boilers & DG sets) and production process. The effluent treatment
system will separate most of the solids from liquid effluents by way of evaporation salts
and ETP sludge.
The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to
the extent possible, with the available facilities and affordable technology, followed by
treatment measures before they are recycled/discharged.
The majority of effluent generated will be from process and it will have
considerable amount of COD & TDS load and suspended solids, which has treated in
ETP. The air pollution is caused due to combustion of fuels and product process
reactions.
10.3.1 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Water during operation phases for the proposed modification project is procured
from KIADB. Daily water requirement during operation phase is estimated as 31.5
KLD, out of which approximately 1.5 KLD of water required for domestic consumption,
4 KLD is for gardening and remaining 26 KLD for industrial use. Water balance chart is
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 248
shown in Chapter-2. In 26 KLD of industrial usage, cooling tower water requirement is
4 KLD, process water 11.5 KLD, Boiler feed 8 KLD, washing 2.5 KLD. From the
industrial usage, the total wastewater generated will be 12.61 KLD. This generated
wastewater will be diverted in to the MEE plant and flow diagram shown below. From
the MEE, condensate water istaken in to the cooling tower makeup and dried solid will
be sent to TSDF. Totalcapacity of the Multiple Effective Evaporator proposed for the
project will be20KLD andMEE drawing is attached as ANNEXURE-10.
The effluents generated in the process, separation techniques and during
purification contain organic residues and inorganic raw materials, solvents and
products. Hence the effluents contain both organic and inorganic salts in various
quantities leading to high COD and TDS levels. Estimated effluents are 14.61 KLD from
process, washings, Scrubbing media; Segregated effluent will be collected by gravity
into a collection tank separately. Flow diagram of the HTDS wastewater treatment
system is shown below

Domestic wastewater is treated in biological treatment system and the overflow to
ETP (biological treatment). Concentrate from MEE system will be sent to ATFD and the
salts from the evaporation system will be collected and it will be sent to TSDF.
The measures recommended for minimising the impacts and conservation of fresh
water are:
Proposed to recycle treated effluent as makeup water for utilities like cooling
tower to reduce fresh water consumption.
Separate provision for storm water collection system and send the run-off water
during rainy season to rain water harvesting tanks. This stored water will be reused to
reduce the fresh water requirement.
Rainwater harvesting structures
Rain Water harvesting system:
Rainwater harvesting system will be adopted within the project site to manage the
rainwater with in the premises. Separate collection system will be implemented for the
rooftop water to conserve the water. Potential of the rainwater harvesting within the
site is calculated as follows.
Major building block within the project site includes Production block one and
two,Admin block, with the total area of 774sqm.
Rainfall intensity in Bidar – 885mm/year
By considering 60 days of rainfall average rainfall = 885/60days= 14.75 mm/day
By considering maximum two hours of rainfall event
Harvestable rainfall from the rooftop area Q =C I A
Where, C is runoff coefficient. I is intensity of rainfall in mm. A is area in sqm.
Therefore, Total rainfall = 0.9x774 x 14.75= 10.3 m3 say 11 m3.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 250
Project activity involves transportation of chemicals from one place to another place and
unloading and loading at different location may lead to the leakage of the chemicals
which may mix with the rainwater. Following measures has been adopted to avoid the
same.
All the raw material including solid and liquid storage area should be covered
shed and the floor should be lined so that there will not be any percolation of the
same in to the ground.
If any chemical spill occurs that has to be washed and separate collection system
should be provided so that the water can be taken into the treatment unit.
Separate drains shall be provided to carry the rain water and percolation pits
shall be provided at the suitable place.
10.3.2 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM
The manufacturing process consists of reaction, separation and purification. The
reaction is conducted in closed reactors, while the separation is conducted in closed
centrifuge, filtration equipment etc. The purification would be conducted in reactors or
filtration equipment. The transfer of materials will be through closed pipelines. Various
sources of emissions are identified from process operations.
The main source of air pollution will be flue gas emission and process gas
emissionfrom the proposed project. There will be also chances of fugitive emission due
tomanufacturing activities and storage, handing & transportation of raw materials
&products. Various potential of air pollution are described hereunder;
10.3.2.1EMISSIONS FROM UTILITIES
The gaseous emissions will be from fuel burning, which consists of common
pollutants like SO2, NOx and PM10, would be discharged into atmosphere through
Multicyclone separators and bag filters with a suitable stack height for controlling the
particulate emissions within statutory limit of 115mg/Nm3 from the proposed &
existing coalfired boilers of 2 TPH.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 251
Multicyclone separator with 30 m stacks will be installed for coal fired boiler.
Stack will be provided to the proposed DG sets of 1x250 KVA. DG sets will be used
asstandby during power failure.
10.3.2.2PROCESS EMISSIONS
The sources of process emissions are reactors, where gaseous products are
released, or excess gaseous raw material used in production, which mainly contain
inorganic gases. The emissions are generated from the process. H2 emissions vents from
the reactor will be connected to multi stage scrubber with suitable chilled or room
temperature liquid water/caustic/dil. HCl to scrub the emissions effectively and the
scrubbing liquid sent for further treatment. H2 will be diffused with flame arrestor. The
scrubbed solutions will be sold/captive consumption/sent for recycle and ETP for
further treatment. Proposed gaseous emissions will bescrubbed in stages with suitable
liquid based on the characteristics of gases.
10.3.2.3FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
Fugitive emissions are the air pollutants released in the air other than those from
stacks or vents; Any chemical or mixture of chemicals, in any physical form, which
represents an unanticipated or spurious leak from anywhere on an industrial site.
Solvents are used for extraction of products and as reaction medium.
Solventsconstitute major consumable material of synthetic organic chemicals, mainly
used as reaction medium. The used solvents constitute major wastestream of synthetic
organic chemical manufacturing. Hence it is proposed to recycle thesolvents by
distillation for reuse in process, thereby reducing total solvent consumption in theplant
and reducing the waste quantity to be disposed. The distillation column is mainly
provided to remove moisture and impurities from spent single solvents and mixed
solvents.
The recycled single solvents are reused in the process, while the mixed solvents
are sold toend users. Distillation process generates residues which are mainly organic in
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 252
naturecontaining significant calorific value and can be sent to cement plants as alternate
fuel forco-processing.
To control fugitive emissions from process/ reaction, all reactors will be
equipped withtwo condensers – primary condenser and secondary condenser. All vents
of condensers will be connected to the scrubber to minimize loss of solvents/process
emissions in to the atmosphere. All the receiver tanks will be provided with
ventcondensers using chilled water circulation.
Storage of all solvents/ chemicals will be in drums/ storage tanks. Vent
condensers willbe provided to all storage tanks. Drums will be kept in covered roof
with elevated platform toreduce the direct contact of sunlight thereby reducing the
internal pressure and reducing thefugitive emissions from storage area while handling
of any solvents in dispensing area. Transferof solvents will be in closed conditions to
further reduction of fugitive emissions as well as toreduce solvent losses during
handling of solvents. Fugitive dust emissions due to trafficmovement will be controlled
by providing paved internal roads, regular cleaning of internalroads, proper
maintenance of vehicles etc.
Fugitive emissions are anticipated from equipment leakage and transfer spills.
Theperiodic maintenance program will ensure integrity of equipment mitigating the
equipmentleakage. The spills however will be managed by adopting the spill
management scheme asmentioned in the respective material safety data sheet (MSDS),
spill control kit will beprovided in storage and production blocks. The fugitive
emissions will be reduced by closedtransfer and handling of all solvents and chemicals.
The ventilation system provided willreduce health impact on the employees by way of
dilution of workroom air and alsodispersion of contaminated air.
Coal for Boiler will be stored in covered shed and fly ash generated from the
boilerthrough pollution control system will be handled through pneumatic pipelines
and stored inclosed / covered areas. Ash will be sent to Brick manufacturers.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 253
Measures to Reduce Fugitive Dust Emissions
All transportation vehicles carry a valid PUC (Pollution under Control) Certificate
All the Roads inside the plant premises are concreted or asphalted.
Regular sweeping of all the roads & floors will be done.
Green belt developed in an area of 40% of the total plant area along theperiphery
and will be maintained.
Ambient air quality is regularly monitored and effective control exercised, so as
tokeep emission within the limits.
Local exhaust unit provided at source of emission.
10.3.2.4DIFFUSE EMISSIONS
Emissions are also released from various operations viz., centrifuge, distillation,
extraction, etc. These emissions mainly contain volatile contents of the materialsent for
processing. The emissions are normally passed through vents equipped
withcondensers/ scrubber before releasing into atmosphere to mitigate odour. The
emissionsfrom distillation are passed through condensers, which mitigate odour /
VOCs emissionsrelease. The transfer pumps will be provided with mechanical seals.
10.3.2.5ODOUR MANAGEMENT
Odour can be defined as the “perception of smell” or in scientific terms as “a
sensation resulting from the reception of stimulus by the sensory system”. Whether
pleasant or unpleasant, odour is induced by inhaling air-borne volatile organics or
inorganics. Physical & chemical characteristic of specific odour are largely affected by
the types of odour sources.
Sources of Odour:
• Wastewater Treatment Plant
• ETP Sludge
• Industrial Processes
• Volatile (organic & inorganic)chemical
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 254
Control of odour :
• Reduction of odour at generation source: Most effective way of controlling odour.
This is done by storing volatile material in closed containers to prevent volatile
emission and carrying out chemical reactions in closed chambers.
• Removal of odour from collection air stream: Effective air cleaning technology like
Scrubbers
• Green Belt development: can help to mitigate the odour
Odour Control Measures
• Exhaust gases are released through stack of appropriate height
• Scrubber installed to adsorb odour emitting gases
• Proper ventilation system is provided to remediate the odour problem
• Incineration of hazardous odour emitting waste is done to eliminate odour
• Activated carbon filter installed to adsorb odour emitting particles from treated water.
• Full-fledged green belt development
Odour is caused mainly by diffuse and fugitive emissions of low boiling
organicchemicals/ compounds releasing VOCs. The above mentioned measures for
mitigation andcontrol of diffuse and fugitive emissions will reduce release of VOC‟s
into atmosphere andthe resultant odour.
10.3.3 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Hazardous/Solid wastes are generated from the process, solvent distillation,
wastewater treatment and utilities. Process residue contains mainly un-reacted raw
materials. These are collected from the reactors and other process equipment and stored
in drums. Solvent residue is generated from distillation units; the residues are tarry
substances with good calorific value and are stored in drums. The other major waste is
salts from MEE withATFD system. These salts are stored in HDPE lined bags. All solid
waste storage containers/drums/bags are labeled showing the source, nature of hazard
and type of wastes. All the hazardous wastes are stored in a covered shed with fire
safety measures, and the shed is provided with a garland drain connected to the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 255
effluent treatment system. The process residue and solvent residue are sent to cement
plants for co-processing.
Hazardous/solid waste will be generated during production from the plant.
Hazardous waste will be segregated and collected in the HDPE drums/bags as
appropriate and will be stored in the covered and raised platform with provision of
leachate collection system before sending to the Cement industries. Solid waste like
boiler ash will be sent to Brick manufacturers.
The organic residues & spent carbon is sent to cement plants as recommended by
CPCB for use as alternate fuels either in the solid or liquid form. Inorganic salts are to
be sent for landfill at TSDF. Hazardous/Solid waste will be segregated, stored and
disposed using manifest system. Mixed solvents will be sent to cement plant for co-
processing, while spent solvents are recovered within plant premises. The other solid
wastes expected from the unit are containers, empty drums which are returned to the
product seller or sold to authorized buyers after detoxification.
Boiler ash will be stored in the Silos and will continue to be sent to Brick
manufacturing units. Empty containers will be collected from all the sources of
processing / warehouse area and will be kept in the covered raised platform with
leachate collection and detoxification area. All containers will be detoxified under
expert supervision. Detoxified containers will be used for storing the hazardous waste
and the balance will be sold to scrap vendors. Wash water from the detoxifying area is
sent to ETP for further treatment.
Used oil generated from the DG sets, Gear boxes, Vacuum pumps etc., will be

10.3.4 NOISE CONTROL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Noise is anticipated from motors, compressors, boiler area, pumps, cooling tower
andDG sets. The DG sets will have in built-in acoustic enclosures. The motors and
compressors will be provided with guards and will be mounted adequately to ensure
the reduction of noise and vibration. The employees working in noise generating areas
will be provided with earmuffs. The employees will be trained in the mitigation
measures and personal protection measures to be taken to avoid noise related health
impacts.
An effective hearing conversation program will be undertaken where exposure to
industrial noise is capable of producing hearing loss. The objective is to ensure that an
employee hearing is not affected during his working life to an extent greater than that
usually occurring with age and to preserve it at a level sufficient for normal speed
perception. The following control aspects are identified for further implementation to
reduce noise levels/exposure:
Noise generating sources like motors and compressors will be provided with
Casings and guard to reduce the noise levels
Placing attenuating screens between the operators and the sources
Adequate spacing between noise sources and operators will be provided. In free
field conditions the sound levels roughly varies with the square of the distance.
Reflected noise is reduced by use of absorbent materials on roofs, walls and
floors.
By proper maintenance, which corrects vibrations and other imbalances, will be
taken up
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 257
Training would be imparted to plant personnel to generate awareness about the
damaging effects of noise.
Personal protective equipment‟s (PPEs) such as earplugs and ear muffs
consisting of fine glass wool, ear muffs consisting of ear cups with a soft seal,
fitted with a spring or adjustable headband. Comfort, maintenance and cleaning
are important aspects of use.
Planted trees of tall as well as short trees in and around the plant area will
protect the outside environment from any noise and dust nuisance.
As per the Factories Act, the general health check-up of the workers will be
checked for any Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) by a competent ENT
doctor.
By these measures, it is anticipated that noise levels in the plant will be maintained
well below 75dB (A). The noise levels at the periphery of the plant are likely to be less
than55 dB (A).

GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT
The tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the air
pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics and climatologically
improvement of area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere. It is an established
fact that the trees and vegetation acts as a vast natural sink for the gaseous as well as
particulate air pollutants. Due to enormous surface area of the leaves, it also helps to
attenuate the ambient noise level. The plantation around the pollution sources control
the air pollution by filtering the air pollutant and interact with gaseous pollutant before
it reaches to the ground. The tree plantation also acts as buffer and absorber against
accidental release of pollutants.
The selection of tree species suitable for plantation at the industry shall be
governed by guiding factors as stated below.
The tree shall tolerant to air pollutants present in the area
The tree is able to grow and thrive on the soil of the area, be evergreen,
inhabitant, having minimum of leaf fall.
The tree is tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large and spreading
canopy in primary and secondary attenuation zone.
The tree posse‟s extensive foliar area to provide maximum impinging surface for
continued efficient adsorption and absorption of pollutants.
The tree are fast growing and indigenous, and shall maintain ecological, land
and hydrological balance of the region.

10.4OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ASPECTS
Many workers health and safety hazards are posed by synthesis operations. They
include safety hazards from moving machine parts, pressurized equipment and pipes;
heavy manual handling of materials and equipment; steam, hot liquids, heated surfaces
and hot workplace environments; confined spaces and hazardous energy sources (e.g.,
electricity); and high noise levels.
Acute and chronic health risks may result from worker exposures to hazardous
chemicals during synthesis operations. Chemicals with acute health effects can damage
the eyes and skin, be corrosive or irritating to body tissues, cause sensitization or
allergic reactions or be asphyxiants, causing suffocation or oxygen deficiency.
Chemicals with chronic health effects may cause cancer, or damage the liver, kidneys or
lungs or affect the nervous, endocrine, reproductive or other organ systems. Worker
exposure to chemicals can occur during manufacturing when chemicals spill, leak, or
discharge from the process system and contaminate areas where workers are present.
The most frequently reported industrial exposure occurs during the transfer of
materials. The entry of workers into systems, equipment, or enclosures that are
contaminated may occur inadvertently, but routine servicing, nonscheduled
maintenance, and process monitoring appear to be the kind of activities with potential
for significant exposure. Health and safety hazards may be controlled by implementing
appropriate control measures (e.g., process modifications, engineering controls, and
administrative practices, personal and respiratory protective equipment).
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 264
The process modification will be a constant exercise of the labs of the
organization, resulting in reduced pollution loads and increased yields. The measures
proposed are selection of alternative solvents/routes of synthesis, avoidance of
hazardous chemicals usage and application of green chemistry principles.
The engineering controls proposed for reducing occupational hazards are;
provision of scrubbers, condenser systems for process equipment, piping systems,
insulation to reactors, usage of transfer pumps with mechanical seals, Air Operated
Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps, Lifts and trolleys for transfer of drums or bags,
closed hoods for charging raw materials, dip pipe provision for solvent and liquid raw
material charging, level indicators, pressure and temperature indicators, barrier guards
on moving machine parts, optimization of chemical inventory, control switches and
emergency stop devices to mitigate and avoid physical, chemical, electrical and
mechanical hazards.
Administrative practices proposed for improving occupational safety are
induction training programs, safety training programs, rotation of workers,
implementation of proactive maintenance schedule, provision of standard operating
procedures for all plant operations, access to MSDS for all employees, access to
emergency numbers of contact, and avoidance of crowded work place, and
strengthening of existing occupational health centre.
Personal protective equipment will be provided to all the employees including
contract employees. All the employees will be provided with safety shoe/ gumshoe,
helmet, masks and goggles. The other equipment like ear muffs, gloves, respirators,
aprons etc., will be provided to employees depending on the work area allocated to
them. The personal protective equipment (PPE) selection will strictly follow the
prescribed guidelines of MSDS.
Medical Check-up:
The plant will have a medical program of pre-employment screening, periodic
medical examination, emergency treatment, non-emergency treatment, and record
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 265
keeping and review. The pre-employment screening and periodic medical examination
will follow the guidelines of factories act. The pre-employment screening will obtain
medical history, occupational history followed by physical examination and baseline
monitoring for specific exposures. The existing occupational health centre will be
strengthened to provide emergency and non-emergency treatment, by way of
emergency first aid on site, liaison with local hospitals and specialists, arranging
decontamination of victims, arranging transport of victims to hospitals, and to transfer
medical records, and to provide details of incident and medical history to next care
provider. The proposed occupational health centre will maintain the health records and
will analyze the records for any common symptoms and common health problems
which may be due to exposure to chemicals, and or due to other occupational hazards.

PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMME
The local species will be planted with consultation of local forest department
/horticulturist and follow the CPCB guidelines.
CONCLUSION:
The baseline study carried out for the study area indicates that all the physical,
chemical and biological characteristics of the environmental attributes in the
surrounding area are well within the permissible limits.
Based on this environmental assessment, the possible impacts during both pre
project and post-project phase are anticipated and the necessary adequate control
measures are formulated to meet the statutory compliances.
With very minute negative impacts, the project positively leads to commercial
business opportunities, Employment opportunities, increased revenue and
infrastructural development.
However, modification and expansion of this project has certain beneficial
impacts/effects during the course in operational phase of the project.
Some of the beneficial impacts/effects are:-
It will result in considerable benefits on physical infrastructures like
transportation system, water supply & drainage system, power supply and social
infrastructures like health centers, banking, education as well as small and
medium scale industries like residential developments, hotels, shopping
complexes, retail shops etc,.
Improvement to the general aesthetics of the surrounding area.
It will also bring employment generation to skilled, semiskilled and unskilled; it
is obvious to assume that, all the economic activities in the project area would
induce considerable improvement in the socio-economic levels of people. The
impact of human settlement is expected to be positive, as apart from some people
being directly employed, many others will get indirect employment.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 278
The impacts are identified and evaluated to reduce their negative impacts and
maximize the positive effects on the surrounding environment.
It raises the living conditions of the citizens of the country.
During operation phase, use of eco-friendly methods such as sewage treatment
plant (Septic tank), effluent treatment plant, solid waste management, process
emission control, rain water harvesting & recharging, scientific disposal of
hazardous waste, bio medical waste and e-waste, green belt development and
corporate social activities around the project site will benefit the environment.
Overall, the proposed project will have positive impact on the Environment if,
the recommended Environmental Monitoring, Health & Safety and
Environmental Management aspects are fully implemented by the project
proponents.

PLAN & NATURAL AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE
AUGMENTATION PLAN
13.1 Introduction:
Any change in the environmental attributes contributing in beneficial or harmful
way is an Environmental Impact, which is caused due to proposed or existing
developmental activities such as construction, demolition, renovation, production,
mining etc. Extending an existing structure, increasing in the rate of production in an
existing industry or proposing a new structure or an industry will have a significant
impact on the environmental attributes. Comprehensively predicting and evaluating the
impacts in various aspects that are likely to occur by comparing the existing quality of
environmental attributes with their condition in the post-project stage will help in
adoption of appropriate mitigation measures to overcome the consequences.
This report presents the assessment and quantification of the damages caused
due to expansion and modification of Bulk drugs and Intermediatesproduction by M/s.
Chorus Labs Limited, possible restoration measures that are required to be adopted to
overcome the damages caused and cost incurred in that.
13.2 Chronology of the Industrial Activity:
