environment its due place in the decision making process by clearly evaluating the

environmental consequences of a proposed activity before action is taken. Thus, the

main objective of EIA is to determine as precisely as possible, within the present limits

of knowledge and expertise, the likely environmental impacts of a planned

development activity and incorporate efficient environmental protection measures right

at the planning stage of project in such a way that the residual adverse effects becomes

acceptable or almost none. The objectives of the present environmental impact

assessment study briefly described below:

The objective of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is to understand

the prevailing physical and biological environment.

The purpose of any EIA exercise is to identify and asses the adverse impacts of a

project in the planning stage itself, so that necessary mitigation measures to

prevent or minimize these adverse impacts can be planned early and cost-

effectively.

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

Page 11: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

2.10SOLVENT REQUIREMENTS & RECOVERY SYSTEM

The industry proposes to manufacture synthetic organic chemicals (Bulk Drugs

& Drugs Intermediates), which require solvents during various unit processes. The unit

intends to use various solvents viz. Methanol, Toluene, Acetone etc are tabulated below.

The spent solvent generated during the manufacturing process will be recovered by

way of distillation and reused in the process.

The process of the solvent recovery system is described hereunder;

After the completion of the reaction, the spent solvent/mother liquor will be

separated by centrifuge and pumped to distillation reactor. It will be subjected to

distillation to separate and recover solvent.

Firstly, the mass will be distilled at required temperature where pure solvents will

be distilled out depending on their boiler points and it will be collected in the

recovered solvent storage tank and reused in the process

Measures for achieving maximum solvent recovery:

The entire manufacturing activities & distillation process will be carried out in the

totally closed system.

Maintenance of the pipeline and valves & fittings will be carried out regularly to

avoid any leakages.

Reactor will be connected with two numbers of condensers where cooling water

and chilled water will be used as media and also equipped with vacuum system as

per requirement.

The condenser will be provided with the sufficient HTA and residence time to

achieve more than 90% recovery.

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.

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.

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.

2.11.4 NOISE & VIBRATION

Compressors, Boilers and DG sets are the major noise generating units in the

plant. Out of these, the generator will be functioning at the time of power failure. The

noise levels of the DG sets will be well within the limits as these will be installed with

built-in acoustic enclosures. However the workers in this area will always be provided

with ear muffs. All the equipment in the plant would be designed to have a total noise

level not exceeding 85-90 dB (A) as per the requirement of OSHA (Occupational Safety

and Health Administration) standards.

Proposed modification project site boundary with greenbelt is located in Kolhar

Industrial area, Kolhar (V), Bidar Taluk in Bidar District, Karnataka, which is about

700m from Kolhar village; no impact of noise will be felt at these habitations. As per

factory act, under the general health checkup scheme, the workers will be examined for

any Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) by a trained ENT Doctor. The noise levels in

the work place environment will be monitored periodically and action will be taken in

the form of regular maintenance schedule to reduce noise and vibration in generating

sources. Noise Attenuation targeted & achieved with 3-4 m greenbelt of Pure Species

Monoculture.

However, adequate precautionary measure for noise and vibration control

measures as described below will be taken by the unit;

Periodical monitoring is being carried out on regular basis.

DG sets are enclosed with built-in acoustic enclosures.

Noise generating unit like boiler etc. A Regular maintenance is practiced for plant

machinery and equipment‟s which helps to avert potential noise problems.

Page 131: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 130

Future enhancement and installation of the plant machinery will be done after due

consideration to design noise levels and noise mitigation measures.

The green belt developed helps in reducing noise levels in the premises as a result

of attenuation of noise generated due to plant operations and transportation.

There are no major sources of industrial noise; minor noise is being generated from

the industrial operations which are being controlled by proper maintenance and

technology.

Proper mitigation measures are taken for the reduction of noise levels i.e. acoustic

enclosures and the workers are provided with personal protective equipment‟s.

Proper maintenance, padding, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals

is done to reduce generation of noise.

To reduce the noise generation during the transportation activities; the transport

contractor will be instructed kept vehicle periodically serviced and maintain as per

the requirement of latest trend in automobile industry. Only those vehicles

withPUC‟s will be allowed for the transportation.

2.11.5GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the source of

pollution and the surrounding areas. The green belt helps to capture the fugitive

emissions and to attenuate the noise generated apart from improving the aesthetics.

Development of green belt and other forms of greenery will also prevent soil erosion

and washing away of topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem

and further to make the climate more conducive and to restore water balance.

• Green belt helps in achieving biodiversity by providing possible habitats for

birds and animal, thus recreating hospitable nature in an otherwise drab urban

industrial scene.

• Green belts increase the aesthetic value of the site.

Industry is proposed to develop Greenbelt in an area of 40% i.e., 5615 Sqmt of

total area of the project. Local species are planted as per the guidelines in consultation

with the local horticulturist.

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

Page 138: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 144: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 145: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 146: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

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

Page 154: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted 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

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

Page 162: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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,

Page 166: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 169

Industrial area. The nearest habitation Kolhar Village (W) is 2.3km away from the

proposed project site.

The socio-economic study includes various facets, viz. demographic structure,

availability of basic amenities such as housing, education, health and medical services,

occupation, water supply, sanitation, communication power supply and places of

tourist attraction, monuments of archaeological importance; and identifying, predicting

and evaluating the likely impacts due to the proposed project activity in study area.

RECONNAISSANCE:

The proposed developmental projects will be commissioned within the

Industrial area premises. The study area covering 10 km radial distances around the

project site fall under Bidar Taluk. Major part of study area is covered with highly

undulated/hilly terrain mostly covered with natural vegetation as well as agro forestry

especially in lower parts of hill slopes. In the study area, this is covered with number of

small/medium scale industries. The infrastructure facilities including road network

consisting SH-105(Bidar-Humnabad road), Bidar Airport and Bidar Railway (network)

are well developed in project region. Keeping in view the existing

industrial/commercial activities in Kolhar Industrial area (along SH-105), this belt has

been merged into urban agglomeration of Bidar city in 2011 census.

Baseline Status:

The latest available data has been complied to delineate the baseline socio-

economic profile in study area. The data base thus compiled from secondary sources of

The secondary data is compiled from authentic secondary sources, Viz., District

Primary Census Abstracts - 2011, Bidar District, Karnataka. The primary data was

collected through; field survey as well as field observations were made during the site

visit.

Demographic Structure:

An official Census 2011 detail of Bidar, a district of Karnataka has been released

by Directorate of Census Operations in Karnataka. Enumeration of key persons was

also done by census officials in Bidar District of Karnataka.

In 2011, Bidar had population of 1,703,300 of which male and female were

870,665 and 832,635 respectively. In 2001 census, Bidar had a population of 1,502,373 of

which males were 771,022 and remaining 731,351 were females. Bidar District

population constituted 2.79 percent of total Maharashtra population. In 2001 census,

this figure for Bidar District was at 2.84 percent of Maharashtra population.

There was change of 13.37 percent in the population compared to population as

per 2001. In the previous census of India 2001, Bidar District recorded increase of 19.63

percent to its population compared to 1991.

The proposed modification project site is situated in Kolhar Industrial Area,

Kolhar (V), Bidar Taluk & Bidar District, Karnataka State. The study area is falling in

Bidar Taluk of Bidar District, Karnataka. The demographic details of the study area

were collected from District Primary Census Abstracts - 2011, Bidar District, Karnataka.

There are 86 villages, 2 Town Municipal Council in the study area. The summary of the

demographic details such as number of households, sex ratio, percentage of SC & ST

population and occupational pattern, number of literates, number of households, main

& marginal workers including non-working population etc are presented in Table 3.16.

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

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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)

Industry proposed several steps to minimize the solvent vapour emanations and

recovery procedures. However, leak detection system will be provided at storage/day

tank and loading/unloading operations. Vent solvent vapours will be identified and

precautionary measures will be taken for leak proof operations. Identified vent solvent

vapours (storage, reactor & day tanks etc.) sent to effective condensing system on

multiple stage basis to recovery effectively. Recovery of solvents from spent solvents

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

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.

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.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 194

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.

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

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.

Page 201: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 202: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 204: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 205: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 207: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 208: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

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

Page 210: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 211: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

containers to prevent volatile emission and carrying out chemical reactions in

closed chambers.

CHAPTER 5

5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited is an existing industrial unit and the proposed project

will take place within the existing premises having all the infrastructure facilities, land,

water sources, material transportation, power etc. After the proposed project existing

infrastructure facilities will be utilized with the addition of new machineries and

therefore, no alternative for the site was considered. This is existing unit and therefore

Alternate sites are not considered for the proposed modification project. Availability of

the supporting facilities include skilled manpower is available in abundance since plant

is close to Bidar. Rehabilitation and Resettlement is not applicable to this project site as

the modification site is existing industrial land. Land is in possession of project

proponent.

Unit proposes to manufacture various Bulk Drugs & Drug Intermediates

(Synthetic Organic Chemical) and manufacturing process involves various chemical

reactions and physical operations. For the proposed products, unit will adopt latest and

best technology available so far in the market.

Moreover, the unit is very concerns and conscious about the product quality and

equally about the environmental protection and resource conservation; and hence they

put their efforts for replacing/ upgrading their existing plant and machineries from

time to time with the best available technology.

CHAPTER 6

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

Page 215: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

(SPCB) related to air emission and liquid effluent discharge as per air and water

pollution control act/ laws

Review, improve and update environmental management procedures and

standards

Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environmental management

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

Page 217: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

6.3.2 MONITORING SCHEDULES DURING OPERATION PHASE

The control measures that will be undertaken during the operation phase to

mitigate the impacts that may be caused during the operation of the project are as

follows: Periodic monitoring of the environmental attributes to check the adequacy and

effectiveness of the pollution control measures employed

The major sources of emission are D.G sets, boiler stack, production block

(reactor) scrubber stacks which will be of adequate height to disperse the

pollutants. Adequate green belt has been developed to mitigate the pollution

arising due to movement of vehicles. Regular monitoring of DG-Stack and

Ambient air quality will be carried out.

Appropriate treatment of liquid effluents generated at the site-Domestic

wastewater will be treated in biological treatment system. The high TDS

wastewater generated from the process will be subjected to MEE Plant for

treatment.

Noise pollution will be curbed by using proper acoustic enclosures for D.G sets

and reactors; thereby the ambient noise levels will be maintained below the

CPCB limits of 75 dB for industrial areas. Personal protective equipments will be

provided to those workers who work in areas of high noise.

Rainwater harvesting system has been designed to utilize the underground

water system sustainably.

Proper maintenance of greenbelt will be ensured.

Adequate safety measures conforming to the occupational health and safety

policy will be taken to prevent accidents/hazards to the workers.

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

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

Page 224: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 225: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 227: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

CHAPTER 10

10. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

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.

Page 245: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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:

Page 246: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 247: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

during working hours.

10.2.5 LAND ENVIRONMENT

Following steps are proposed to task to take care of impact of construction

activity on project land area.

On completion of civil work, all debris etc. will be completely removed from site

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.

Mainly local labourers will be employed for construction activities. No labour camps

Page 248: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 247

are envisaged for the modification project. The following facilities will be provided to

the construction work force:

First Aid: At work place, first aid facilities will be provided at accessible place.

Potable Water: Adequate quantity of cool potable water fit for drinking will be

provided at suitable places at the construction site.

Rest Shelters: Rest shelter will be provided to workforce.

Facilities for Women: Facilities as per applicable rules will be provided to the women

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

Page 249: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 249

Organics process effluent, scrubber will be segregated and will sent to ETP-ZLD

facility with primary (equalization and neutralization), secondary (stripper with MEE,

ATFD & biological) and tertiary treatment (PSF, ACF & R.O) will be provided. Design

report of biological treatment system with 15 KLD capacity.

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.

Page 251: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 252: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 253: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

Page 254: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 255: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 256: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted 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

collected separately in MS/HDPE drums and stored in the designated area for further

disposal to SPCB authorized Used/Waste oil re-processers using 7-copy manifest

system. Used Batteries will be replaced with the new batteries and sold to suppliers on

buy-back basis.

Name boards will be provided in all dedicated areas for Hazardous/solid waste

storage and maintain records for waste generation quantity, handling& storage and

disposed quantity. All records will be summarized and sent to SPCB monthly for

Page 257: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 256

information and records. Form IV statement comprising of all Hazardous waste

disposal details for the financial year will be submitted to SPCB annually as per

Hazardous & other wastes (M & TM) Rules, 2016 and its amendments there under.

Industry will be ensured for disposal of the Hazardous waste on priority.

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

Page 258: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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).

Proposed modification project site is located in Kolhar Industrial Area, Kolhar

Village, Bidar Taluk & District, Karnataka. Plant boundary with greenbelt is about 1 km

from nearest habitation; no impact of noise will be felt at this habitation. The noise

levels in the work place environment will be monitored periodically and action will be

taken in the form of regular maintenance schedule to reduce noise and vibration in

generating sources. Noise attenuation targeted & achieved with greenbelt of pure

Species Monoculture.

10.3.5LAND ENVIRONMENT

Chorus Labs has social obligation to recreate the environmental status by

providing thick green cover to suppress fugitive emission and provide aesthetic beauty.

Trees form the important part of the biosphere in the Eco-system. This will help in

reducing the concentration of pollutants and will also be effective in attenuating noise

levels.

Page 259: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 258

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.

10.3.6SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

M/s. Chorus Labs, Bidar has generated direct and indirect employment for 20

persons including the existing after modification. The modification project provides an

opportunity for the local people to get employment directly or indirectly and helps in

the up-liftment of the socio-economic status of the area. The project proponents propose

to involve in social activities of the stakeholders/surrounding community by planning

the betterment of neighboring social conditions through awareness and welfare

to ensure meeting the plant standards.

A sound preventive and predictive maintenance program will be established to ensure

the integrity of the piping, joints and gaskets. Pumps seal and other rotating equipment

will be periodically inspected, replaced, serviced and maintained so that leak and spill

will be prevented.

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).

Page 265: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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

Page 266: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

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.

CHAPTER 11

11. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

SUMMARY:

The proposed project is expansion and modification of manufacturing of drug

product & intermediates in the premises; existing product and addition of new drug

products is proposed to manufacture the products. The industry is located at Plot No.

23-B, KIADB Kolhar Industrial Area, Bidar Taluk & District, Karnataka.

The project is falling under item activity 5 (f) of Category-B projects of MoEF as

per the EIA Notification dated 14th September 2006 and the amendments thereof,

proposed manufacturing of bulk drugs requires Environmental Clearance from MoEF

(Ministry of Environment & Forests) for its modification of production capacity.

As per the TOR prescribed by the State Expert Appraisal Committee dated on

15thJune, 2018 and as per the CPCB standard references, EIA (Environmental Impact

Assessment) study has been carried out towards the proposed project.

An environmental Impact Assessment Study has been carried out and assessed

for the proposed project based on the ToR and baseline quality data collected for the

study area. Identification and anticipation of the potential environmental impacts due

to the proposed project with a delineation of appropriate impact mitigation measures in

an Environmental Management plan during both construction and operation phases is

provided in the EIA report prepared.

The proposed project will ensure that the industrial activities relevant to the

project are environmentally sound with no adverse impacts posed on the natural

environment in the surrounding area.

The marginal impacts that might be caused by the proposed activity will be

mitigated by the implementation of the proposed pollution control and environmental

management measures.

Page 276: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 275

In a true and a larger sense, in view of the considerable benefits from the project

with no major impacts, the proposed project is said to be more beneficial to the nation.

With the above summary, the EIA study of the proposed bulk drug

manufacturing has not been identified with any major negative impacts on the site and

on to the local environment.

And while in operation, from the proposed project involved in

processing/manufacturing activities and has proposed new products for the existing

products, whatever the impacts like generation of domestic & industrial wastewater,

solid waste, waste oil, boiler, DG etc., for that proper well planned Environmental

Management Plan has been proposed along with this, for operation phase; other

permanent Environmental Management Plans like well-planned storm water

management, internal transportation management, sufficient parking provision, septic

tank, effluent treatment plant, solid waste management, providing air pollution control

equipment, green belt development plan has been proposed and the same will be

effectively implemented on the proposed project and for the implementation of the

same and its management EMP cell is being framed, along with this environmental

monitoring routine plans are also proposed with estimated budgetary allocations.

The EMP that will be implemented for the construction and operation stages of

the project will include:

• Air Pollution control and Management

• Noise Control and Management

• Hazardous and solid waste Management

• Sewage treatment and Management

• Effluent treatment and Management

• Risk Assessment and Onsite emergency Plan

In order to effectively implement the EMP planned, an environmental

management system will be formulated.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT

It is proposed to have a green belt plantation along the boundary of the plot,

which will intercept the dispersing particulates.

The sprinkling of water is recommended in areas where dust emission is

expected within the plant.

The internal roads of plant are asphalted and hence dust emission shall be to

minimum.

WATER MANAGEMENT The total effluent generated from process, cooling tower, boiler feed and others

shall be treated in ETP followed by MEE and ATFD and the domestic sewage

will be treated in biological treatment system.

NOISE MANAGEMENT

The occasional noise has been attenuated by the development of green belt

around the industrial complex, and ear-protecting devices will be provided to

personnel working in high noise generating zones.

Acoustic enclosure shall be provided to the DG set.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The solid wastes shall be segregated according to their properties, packed,

transported and stored in a separate impervious storage area demarcated for

them. They will then be disposed off according to the requirements of statutory

authorities.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

Masks and other PPE‟s will be provided as additional personal protection

equipment to the workers.

Workers are informed, kept aware and trained about occupational health

hazards, due to such activities and preventive measures.

Workers health related problem if any, will be properly addressed.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 277

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.

CHAPTER - 13

13 ASSESSMENT OF ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE, REMEDIATION

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:

KIADB allotted land to M/s. Bidar Drugs Pvt Ltd in the year of 1987.

Karnataka State Financial Corporation (KSFC), Bangalore taken over the plant by

M/s. Bidar Drugs Pvt Ltd in the year of 1989.

M/s. BSN Pharma Limited purchased the plant from KSFC, Bangalore dated

12/9/2005.

M/s. BSN Pharma Limited obtained CFE for Ibuprofen product with capacity 50

TPM with order dated 22/11/2006.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 281

M/s. BSN Pharma Limited changed the name in the year of 6/8/2009 to M/s.

Chorus Labs Limited.

CFO was issued for manufacturing of Ibuprofen product with capacity 50 TPM

and validity was till 30/06/2010.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited has obtained CFEx for 17 products with the order

dated 20/08/2010. Subsequently CFO was obtained and its validity was till

30/09/2015.

In 11/4/2014, M/s. Chorus Labs Limited proposed to replace 5 projects in the

place of existing products and accordingly filed the application to KSPCB to

obtain CFE.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited obtained CFEx for change of products with order

dated 8/8/2015.

Subsequently, industry was visited by Secretary, SEIAA, Karnataka and Member

Secretary, KSPCB on 28th& 29th April 2016 as compliant against industrial

activities subject to pollution of groundwater in and around the Kolhar industrial

area is made to legislation petition committee.

KSPCB has issued closure order to the industry to stop the industrial operation.

Presently plant is closed.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited had applied for an Environmental Clearance and TOR

application is submitted to SEIAA, Karnataka dated on 21.5.2016. (FILE No.

SEIAA 20 IND 2016)

Terms of Reference (TOR) meeting held on 30.8.2016.

SEAC committee members along with KSPCB officers visited the industry for

inspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation.

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 282

Accordingly we have filed the application to MoEF, Delhi with File No: [J-

11011/257/2017-IA-II(I)]

As per the MoEF new Notification dated 8th March 2018, all the violation cases

have been forwarded to individual state subject to Categorization in EIA

Notification 2006.

13.3 Purpose of the study:

The Terms of Reference (TOR) granted to the project by SEIAA vide letter SEIAA 16

IND (VOIL) 2018 dated 15.06.2018 to conduct the EIA studies to obtain the

Environmental Clearance for projects under EIA notification-2006. SEIAA also

recommended to assess the damages caused to the Environmental Attributes like

Air, Water, Soil, Ecology etc as per the Notification No.S.O.804 (E) dated 14th March

2017, Notification No.S.O.1030 (E) dated 8th March 2018 and preparing a remediation

plan and natural resources augmentation plan corresponding to the damages

assessed. In compliance with the above, impacts on environmental attributes due to

change in product mix and respective remedies and mitigation plans are discussed

in this chapter.

13.4 Project & Violation details:

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited was established in the year of 2009 and had CFO for

manufacturing Ibuprofen with a capacity of 50 MTPM. Also the industry had obtained

CFE and CFO for manufacturing additional 17 products which was expired on

30/09/2015. The industry has not obtained Environmental Clearance for any of the

stated productions. As per the EIA Notification 2006, the industry should have obtained

Environmental Clearance to take up the production, but industry started manufacturing

without obtaining Environmental Clearance.

The project falls in the activities listed under the EIA notification, 2006 hence

does require prior Environmental Clearance under the EIA notification. The proposed

project is covered under activity 5 (f) “Synthetic organic chemicals industry” of

Category-“B” of MoEF as per the EIA notification vide gazette no. S.O. 1533 dated

Page 284: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Labs_EIA_02_7_2019.pdfinspection on 4.10.2016 and reported observation as well as recommendation. M/s. Chorus Labs Limited submitted the

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report

M/s. Chorus Labs Limited Page 283

14thSeptember, 2006. Hence the proposed project has to obtain environmental clearance

from SEIAA, Karnataka, without which it is treated as violation. As per the EIA

Notification No.S.O.804 (E) dated 14th March 2017, Notification No. S.O.1030 (E) dated

8th March 2018; the industries who have taken up change of product mix without

obtaining Environmental Clearance are treated as violation.

13.5 Assessment of the Damages and Remediation Plan:

The impacts on the environmental attributes can be broadly classified into two:

13.5.2 Damages during Operational Phase:

M/s Chorus Labs Limited had consents for manufacturing Ibuprofen and other 17

products with a capacity of 50 MTPM. As per the EIA Notification 2006, the industry

should have taken Environmental Clearance before taking up any production, but the

industry started manufacturing activities only by obtaining consents from time to time.

As the industry is established in the year of 2009, environmental management

systems were in place to handle different types of waste including air emissions,

effluent and solid waste generated from the production activity.

Production of Bulk drugs and Intermediates by the industry for the entire period is

within the limits as per consents obtained from KSPCB that is 50 MTPM. Evaluation of

the raw material requirement, production quantity and waste generation has been done

and detailed in tables below. Process description along with material balance is attached

in Annexure-15.
