Standby Power There are existing 3 nos. of DG sets (capacity: 500 KVA, 500 KVA, 1010 KVA) as standby source of

electricity in case of power supply failure

For existing production, Natural gas, High Speed Diesel, Diesel, LSHS & coal or Biomass or Mixture of both areused as fuel.



Executive Summary


After proposed expansion in Rubber chemicals, the fuel requirement of RUC plant shall be fulfilled entirely by Multi-fuel boiler of 14TPH capacity.Hence there shall be no additional requirement of steam for the expansion thereby no additional requirement of coal/ briquettes.

Coal is supplied by Adani Mining Pvt. Ltd.Briquettes are supplied by local supplier near Rajpipla (Dist. Bharuch)

Water requirementWater is supplied from GIDC reservoir for which LANXESS has been granted total permission for 6280.5 KLD waterusage for all products. (Copy of CCA is attached as annexure – 26)

The existing domestic water consumption remains much less than 99 KLD granted in CC&A of the unit.For antioxidants, there is water consumption as process water and direct steam.For accelerators, there is water consumption only for Vulkacit MBT/MBT/C and MBT-RS/CThere shall be no water addition from utilities and washing since the expansion is in existing plant.No additional quantities of water consumption are therefore requested in the Environmental Clearance andproponent is committed to maintain the water consumption within permissible limits of CC&A. (6280.5 KLD)

Wastewater Generation And Disposal

The sewage is treated in STP and then sent for green belt development. Approx. 75 manpower per day shall berequired for expansion. The existing sewage generation remains less than 89.1 KLD granted in CC&A of the unit.Hence after expansion, the sewage shall not exceed consented quantity of CTO.

Industrial effluent is treated in own ETP and treated effluent is discharged into underground pipeline connected toJhagadia FETP of M/s. NCTL.

Unit has consent for discharge of 4966.7 KLD however, GPCB has restricted the effluent discharge quantity as 2500KLD till Jhagadia pipeline project is operational.The existing effluent generation of the unit does not exceed 1100 KLD as per last three years record.

The water requirement for greenbelt enhancement and maintenance shall not increase since treated sewage fromSTP shall be used for watering of green belt.

Hence it is concluded that after proposed expansion, even after addition of 11 KLD process effluent, the total effluentquantity shall not increase 2500 KLD.

Flue Gas Emissions

No new boiler is proposed for the expansion.The Multi-fuel boiler which shall cater the steam requirement of proposed expansion is supplied by Forbes Vyncke,complete with conveying system and ESP. OEM contract is also given to Forbes Vyncke. Crushed coal is usedand crushing is not done at site.The ESP is designed for inlet SPM of 15000 mg/Nm3 and outlet concentration of SPM as < 100 mg/Nm3.The Stack height is 40 m and verified to be adequate based on the SO2 emissions. Online monitoring system isinstalled for SPM concentrations in exit flue gas.

Process Emissions

Additional process emissions after proposed expansion : The SPM emission from HS packing silo shall increase after proposed expansion of vulkanox HS

production. However, the rate of emission shall remain the same. Hence the existing bag filter shall beadequate.



Executive Summary


There shall be SPM emission from Accelerator silo packing area. To control these emissions, bag filter will beprovided.

There is no process emission from Antioxidants and Accelerator manufacturing process No change in existing process emissions of other products.

storage and disposal. Existing wastes shall not exceed the authorized quantity after proposed expansion Unit is member of TSDF and Common Incineration facility of M/s. BEIL, Ankleshwar.

Baseline Environmental StatusFollowing the final TORs as issued by SEAC, the impact or study area has been considered to be the area withinradius of 5 km from the project site.There is Jhagadia Mega Industrial Estate of GIDC and 17 village areas identified within the study area.Baseline data for the following environmental attributes are collected for this study:

• Meteorology• Ambient Air Quality• Surface and Ground Water Quality• Ambient Noise Quality• Hydrology and Geological Data• Land use pattern• Ecological Information• Socio-economic status• Infrastructure facilities

Meteorology Since this is a Rapid EIA study, the study period from 1st February 2015 to 31st May 2015 has been

considered, incorporating winter and summer season. Looking at the recordings of temperature, it can be said that the weather in the study area is of the nature

suitable for plume rise. The average relative humidity in the study area was found to vary between 44.1 to 57.5% within the study

period. The maximum relative humidity recorded during the monitoring was 95.2% in the month of April2015.

The wind speed in the project site remained moderate during February 2015 and then increased to a smallextent during March, April and May with few high stormy hours around the rainy days. The wind directionalso has variations during daytime and nighttime.

Max. wind speed was 25.7 kmph in the month of March 2015, while the average wind speed varied from 3.7to 5.9 kmph. The wind class distribution was about 65% for the range 1.8 to 13.0 kmph.

Wind roses for the study period indicate the predominant wind direction was found to be NE to SW duringFebruary and March 2015 and SW – NE and W – E during April and May 2015. The calm periods werearound 25% during February and March while decreased to 16% in April and were very less (5%) in May2015 as per the climatic conditions of this zone. It is to be noted that the predominant wind direction for thesummer and monsoon seasons remains SW to NE.

PM10 & PM2.5The 98th percentile values of PM10 at Dadheda, Talodara, Selod, Jhagadia and project site are close to NAAQSpermissible limit of 100 µg/m3.

The 98th percentile values of PM2.5 at all stations have remained in the range of 32 µg/m3 (Sardarpura) to 48 µg/m3

(Jhagadia) except for Dadheda, Selod and Gumandev where the values are close to the NAAQS permissible limit of60 µg/m3.

The probable contribution can be traffic vehicular emissions since the locations are near to SH – 165, SH-64 as wellas industrial emissions from the estate. The other contributions to PM10 and PM2.5 at all the AAQM locations wereprimarily due to ongoing construction activities, vehicular movement, and domestic activities such as natural dustdue to manual activities and prevailing wind.

SO2 & NOxSO2 concentrations (98th percentile) & NOx concentrations (98th percentile) at all the locations were observed to bewithin stipulated standards of CPCB for residential/rural region at all of the air quality monitoring locations during thestudy period. The 98th percentile values of SO2 ranged from 21-34 g/m3. The 98th percentile values of NOx



Executive Summary


ranged from 28-37 g/m3, locations near SH -165 and SH 64 have comparatively more NOx concentrations asexpected.

BTX & Benzene98th percentile BTX values were in the range of 1.3 to 2.2 g/m3 at Vakhatpura, Sardarpura and Gumandev whereasat Dadheda, Talodara, Selod, Fulwadi, Jhagadia and Project site the 98th percentile values were in the range of 2.6to 5.0 g/m3 with max. at Jhagadia & Selod, owing to highway.

Benzene concentration (98th percentile) were high (3.4 g/m3) at Selod owing to traffic emissions, however withinstipulated standards of CPCB (5 g/m3) during the study period. While at other locations it ranged from < 0.5 to 1.8g/m3.

Benzo(a)pyreneBenzo(a)pyrene at all the locations were observed to be less than 0.5 ng/m3 and within stipulated standards ofCPCB during the study period (1 ng/m3)

AmmoniaAmmonia at all the locations was observed to be less than 15 g/m3 and within stipulated standards of CPCB duringthe study period (400 g/m3). It can be concluded that no major ammonia liberating sources such as conjustedanimal husbandry areas are present in the study area.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)The 98th percentile values of CO were in the range of < 0.5 to 1.2 mg/m3 as against the specified limit of 2 mg/m3.The main contribution to CO in ambient air is considered to be traffic vehicular emissions and flue gas stacks.

HCl & ChlorineHCl concentrations (98th percentile) at all the locations were observed to be less than 10 g/m3 and within stipulatedstandards of CPCB (200 g/m3)Chlorine concentrations (98th percentile) at all the locations were observed to be less than 5 g/m3 and withinstipulated standards of CPCB (100 g/m3)These gases have been monitored in ambient air since they are process emissions from the existing manufacturingactivities.

Groundwater and HydrologyBoth primary data as well as secondary data from Geological survey of India were gathered for groundwater tableand hydrology of the study area.Total 5 wells were inventoried in and around the study area in the month of May 2015

The static water level is ranging between 4.5m to 24.39 m from the existing ground surface. The contour map ofreduced water level was prepared. The general groundwater flow direction is found to be NW.

Groundwater & Surfacewater QualityThe baseline water quality status in the region is established by analyzing surface water and ground water samples.Water requirement at the project site is met through GIDC supplyThe average annual rainfall in the region is about 800 mm.Ground water resources are predominantly exploited in most of nearby villages only for agricultural purposes.

Summary of Hydrology and Groundwater survey The Lanxess site is located in GIDC Jhagadiya, District Bharuch Geologically, entire study area comprises Alluvium of Holocene age and Sedimentary rocks of Tertiary The short term (1991-2013) average annual rainfall is 797 mm. Maximum rainfall observed in 1994 is

1322mm and minimum rainfall in 2012 is 402mm. The Narmada is the major river in the study area The Amravati and Kaveri rivers are comparatively small and shallow rivers The rivers do not receive any industrial discharges and are primarily used only for animal bathing and

washing purposes. There is eutrophication observed during the sampling period (May 2015) indicatingaddition of urinal and sewage to the rivers

The general groundwater flow is in NW direction The static water level varied between 4.50m to 24.39m Groundwaters are used for drinking water in almost all villages through borewells, tubewells and openwells The quality of borewell waters is analysed to conform to drinking water standards except for Total coliforms

which can be attributed to contamination coming from storage tank. The general topographic slope is in NW direction

Mild to Heavy eutrofication was observed in all ponds surveyed. Domestic sewage, detergents and fertilizers addedthrough domestic run-offs are major sources of eutrofication, as per information gathered from villagers. The pondsare presently used only for animal bathing and cloth washing.

Soil QualityThe soil samples were collected from the study area to determine their physical properties such as grain sizeanalysis, moisture content, porosity, permeability and soil texture.The soil found in the study area is of clayey type and porosity ranging between 36.4% to 39.6%.

Geologically, entire study area comprises Alluvium of Holocene age and Sedimentary rocks of Tertiary Soil of the study area is of clayey type and believed to be product of underlying Tertiary rocks The general topographic slope is in NW direction The physical and chemical analysis of the soil samples indicate that the soil of entire study area falls

suitable for agricultural purpose. The soil type of the study area is of Loamy and Clayey type Phosphate in Selod village soil sample is high. This may be due to use of fertilizer in agricultural field

The max. noise level measured in the residential area under the impact zone was 55 dBA at Jhagadia andSelod villages in daytime and 44 dBA in night time at Fulwadi which were within the stipulated standards ofCPCB, but at the border line.

The noise levels of the residential within the impact zone varied from 42- 55 dBA in the daytime and 38-44dBA in the night time, which are also below the specified limits.

Dadheda, Valia and Kondh which are residential-industrial areas within the impact zone had noise levels inthe range of 42- 53 dBA in the daytime and 37-42 dBA in the night time, which are also below the specifiedlimits.

The noise level at outside of the factory premises was measured to be 68 dBA at daytime and 56 dBA atnighttime and was within the permissible limits for industrial zone.

The noise levels in the study area are primarily due to movement of considerable vehicles on the mainroads, SH 64, SH165 as well as industrial activities in the estate.

Land use PatternFor determining the baseline land use pattern, at and around the project site, Land use classification is done onsatellite imagery of IRS-R2 received from NRSA and supported with ground checks and ground truth verification.

Land use Pattern of the study area About 62% of total land area under the region of interest is occupied for agriculture purpose while about 19% is

scrubland i.e. it is uncultivated The habitant and settlement area comprising of villages is only about 4%. The total land under industrial development including Jhagadia industrial estate of GIDC comprises of 7%. There is a small portion of Ratanpore Reserve forest covered in the study area (only about 3% of study area).

Around 8 villages were present in the current study area; all the villages were surveyed for their ecology andbiodiversity.the current study area falls under the ‘Semi-Arid’ Biogeographic zone and therefore the vegetation in general was byand large dry deciduous type but a good diversity of evergreen trees was also observed. In all the villages surveyed,agriculture was observed to be the major occupation followed by animal husbandry. Patches of fallow land weremuch less and that largely the land use pattern was cultivation and settlement except for the region in extremenortheast block which had patch of Reserved Forest being covered in the study area.

Standard methods described in the literature for sampling of flora and fauna were followed in the current study. Theobservations were recorded as per the objectives and guidelines issued by MoEFCC in the interest of integrity andpurity of environment. All observations were taken for both qualitative and quantitative representation of the species.The secondary data was collected from the concerned government departments and the same was validatedthrough the ground reality by collecting the primary data.

An in-depth assessment of flora including documentation of rare and endangered species around theproject site was done; Assessment of ecological indices viz. Species Diversity, Density, Abundance etc. within thestudy area was performed based on the available secondary data from state forest department.

Agriculture:The pattern of agriculture observed in the study area was mixed cropping type. People took two crops in

per year, a ‘Rabi’ crop and a ‘Kharif’ crop. However, Sugarcane – Saccharum officinarum was observed to be thepredominant crop followed by Cotton – Gossypium herbacium, both are important cash crops. Apart from these twocash crops, cereals like Jowar and Bajara were also cultivated but these crops largely formed the fodder for thecattle. Cultivation of pulses was observed to be less. In addition to these crops, fruit orchards of Mango – Mangiferaindica and Chickoo – Achrussapota were observed in couple of locations and also recorded were Banana andPapaya plantations. Sugarcane was harvested from majority of the fields while few fields still had a standing crop.The fields from where sugarcane was harvested were being prepared for the sowing of cotton as monsoon wasapproaching and this region receives its first showers by mid June.

Status of Protected Areas:In the entire radius of 5 km, no protected areas viz. National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Conservation

Reserves, Community Reserves, Biosphere Reserve or any protected forests were observed.

Faunal Survey results Common species of native habitat have been observed in the study area which have ecological relationship

with the floral diversity of the area A checklist of flora and fauna observed in the study area is given in EIA report, chapter 3. In the current study none of the species recorded was covered under the IUCN Red List.

Livestock:Apart from the wild mammals, the livestock also comprised mainly of mammalian representative. People

from all the villages were involved with animal husbandry along with agriculture. The livestock mainly included thecattle, goat, poultry and animals as beast of burden. The cattle included Cow and Bulls – Bosindicus, Buffalo –Bubalus bubalis, and Goat – Capra hircus. The poultry included the local breed of chicken – Gallus domesticus. Theanimals as beast of burden included Horse – Eqqus caballus, Donkey – Eqqusasinus and Camel –



Executive Summary


Camelusdromedarius. In addition to these livestock animals, feral animals like feral dogs – Canisfamiliaris, house cat– Felis sylvestris and feral pigs – Susscrofa were also recorded from the study area.The Inland Fishery was practiced in some of the village ponds, however that too was not on a large scale. The inlandfishery was practiced only in villages for the local consumption only.

The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972:In the current study, only a few species from the recorded list were included in the Schedules I to III of the WPA1972. Moreover, the species that were not sighted directly but their presence in the area was confirmed throughsecondary data or secondary information also were covered under these schedules.

To mention a few are, Leopard (Panthera pardus), Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), Marsh Crocodile (Crocodylus palustris),Indian Flap-shell Turtle (Lissemyspunctata) and Bengal Monitor Lizard (Varanus bengalensis) were the Schedule Ianimals that were known to occur the study area.

The rest of the birds belonged to Schedule IV, while mammals like Common Mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii) andJungle Cat (Felischaus) were Schedule II species, also snakes like Indian Cobra (Najanaja), Rat Snake(Ptyasmucosus) and Checkered Keelback (Xenochropispiscator) were included under Schedule II.

Animals like Nilgai or Bluebull (Boselephus tragocamelus) and Indian Wild Pig (Susscrofa) were Schedule IIIspecies. Whereas animals like fruit bats, rodents and birds like crow are the Schedule V species, which areconsidered as Vermin animals or problematic animals.

It was evident from the land use pattern that the major portion of the study area was dominated by the crop fieldsand cash crops like sugarcane and cotton are grown in this belt, and hence the population of pest species wasobserved to be low.

Although nearly 90 % of the current study area was observed to be terrestrial environment, some of the villages hadsmall village ponds and these were taken into account for the aquatic biology studies, whereas minor rivers passedthrough the study area and the samples therein were also collected for the analysis of plankton communities.Benthic communities were not taken into consideration in the current study.

The entire study area did not show presence of any wetlands that could harbour the migratory waterfowl but theresident waterfowl was recorded in a scattered pattern as the study period was summer month. It is thereforerecommended to conduct a winter survey so as to ascertain the occurrence of migratory waterfowl if any in thisregion. The wetlands sustaining migratory waterfowl may not be present but the water bodies like river Narmada andthe minor rivers might be used by the waterfowl on transitory basis on their path of migration.

Demography and Socio-EconomicsPrimary data collection was done through community survey based on personal interviews and questionnaire in total8 ( eight) villages falling within a radial distance of 5 km from the project site, namely –

Executive Summary


Population DensityIn study area, the total population is significantly high in Jhagadia village compare to other villages. The reason ismigration from nearby villages as well as nearby regions of Gujarat as well as from other states such as Dahod ,Godhara, Narmada, U.P, Bihar, M.P due to rise in employment in upcoming industries in Jhagadia estate areas.Jhagadia is a preferred location for settlement because of developed civic amenities and good transport access,compared to other villages of this area is a preferred location for settlement because of developed civic amenitiesand good transport access, compared to other villages of this area.

The general population is significantly high in Jhagadia village compare to other villages. The general population isabove 1000 in Fulwadi,Selod,Talodra,Dadheda. & below 1000 in Gumandev, Sardarpura, & Vakhatpura, village.Population of ST & SC is more in Jhagadia village. Total Population is high in Jhagadia Village & low in Gumandevvillage.

Out of the villages surveyed Jhagadia is biggest village in the study area with 2453 hectares, but the populationdensity is scare (only 2.16) Fulwadi, Selod, Dadheda, and Talodra are also bigger villages around 150 to 2,000hectares and Gumandev,Sardarpura,Vakhatpura are smaller villages with areas around 50 to 200 hectares.However the population density of Vakhatpura and Dadheda are very high compare to Talodra and Sardarpuraowing to settlement of contract labour and unskilled and skilled manpower from other regions of Gujarat as well asfrom other states such as Dahod , Godhara, Narmada, U.P, Bihar, M.P, due to the immense employmentopportunities opened up by upcoming industries in Jhagadia estate and GIDC areas.

LiteracyThe literacy rate is a major factor, which influences the socio-cultural condition of a particular place.As per Census 2011, the literacy rate of Jhagadia Taluka is about 74.66 %. The literacy rates in the villages underthe study ranged from 55-78%, Jhagadia having the highest rate whereas Gumandev having the lowest literacy rate.However, owing to the continuous development of the Industries in Jhagadia GIDC, the awareness for literacyamong the local population is increasing in this area. Also new schools and colleges are coming up and existingeducational facilities are being upgraded as part of CSR activities by industries and GIDC.

Occupational Structure Agriculture is the main occupation but due to industrial development and associated developments people

are shifting their occupation in industrial associated development like transportation, construction work,domestic supplies, as a labour in industries also. While Fulwadi, Dadheda, Talodra and Sardarpura beingnear to the industrial areas, have a significant population engaged in industrial and commercial activities.

The industrial Estates generate ample employment for skilled as well as unskilled manpower. GIDC hasstarted Skill Development Center at Jhagadia

There is a section of the population which raises its income by working in different sectors of the industrialarea viz. labour, housekeeping, packaging, technicians, construction activities etc. The industrial area alsohas an effect on the type of education taken by the youth in this region.

Trade and Commerce, construction and communication services have also taken up in these areas. Transportation services (Buses, vans, cars, etc.) and automobile and construction equipment supply and

accessories are also newly developed industrial services by local population to cater to upcoming newindustries.

Hotel business is picking up in this area, as on date, there are 2 hotels. of other small and medium hotelsbeing constructed along the Jhagadia road. This is indicating that catering and hospitality business maybecome significant in the coming years.

Significant observations with respect to availability of amenities in study area are as follows.

A significant part of villagers live in kacha houses with no good roof and flooring. The upgradation ofhousing is required in almost all the villages surveyed.

Education facilities in study area are quite good because all villages have primary schools. There aresecondary and higher secondary school in Jhagadia, govali, Talodra and valia. Ankleshwar and Valia havemany gujarati and English schools as well as International education based schools. And also engg.Colleges and ITI are available in Vallia and Bharuch. A Skill upgradation centre is also under development



Executive Summary


by GIDC for imparting training in different technical areas. Other engg. and medical colleges are inAnkleshwar, Vadodara and Surat. For other college education, students have to travel to Ankleshwar,Bharuch and Vadodara, Surat at the nearest. Good quality education is expected to develop in this regionowing to contributions from industries and GIDC as part of their CSR plans as well as through GUJARATPCPIR WELFARE SOCIETY which covers 14 villages in Jhagadia.

There is a general hospital having necessary capacity and facilities for medical treatment in Jhagadia andVallia. Nearest multi disciplinary hospitals are at Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Surat and Vadodara. PHCs andprivate dispensaries are available in Fulwadi, Talodra.

In the study area drinking water facility is good as borewell and tap water is available almost in all thevillages.

Except Jhagadia all other villages in study area are poor in postal and telegraph facilities. But mobilephones are available mostly all villages.

All villages are well connected through a network of Pucca road as well as Kaccha approach road. Bus isthe main mode of transportation and bus stands are provided at all villages. Private jeep service is alsoavailable.

Electricity for all purposes (agriculture as well as domestic and commercial) is available in all villages andtown in the study area.

No Irrigated Water Facility so Agriculture productivity is normal but this area owing to industrialdevelopment and associated development for it. People migrate to nearby cities and town formiscellaneous jobs.

GIDC is actively involved in the welfare and upgradation of the villages in this area and have already initiatedfollowing activities :

Construction of roads in the villages : Govali,Jhagadia,Gumandev, Fulwadi,Sardarpura, Vakhatpur, Talodra,Selod, Limbet, Vallia, Sengpur, Kondh

Water conservation measuresAbout 11 KL/day of fresh water consumption is estimated from expansion. About 23 KL/day process effluent shallbe generated after expansion.The process water requirement is optimized and possible reuse and recycle options have been considered.Following are suggested to further reduce water consumption :-

Water meters should be provided at main areas of consumption to maintain records and to conduct wateraudit from time to time

Drip irrigation for watering of green belt Dry sweeping of passages and building floors inplace of washing with water Water saving faecets in toilets and washrooms

Wastewater generation, treatment and disposal To direct cargo operators for proper maintenance of cargo ships and prevent oil spillages into water Adequate ETP provided with P+S+T treatment. The ETP components are evaluated for hydraulic and

design parameters and shall remain adequate after proposed expansion since there is no significantchange in effluent quality and quantity.

There shall be sufficient holding capacity for storage of treated and untreated effluent (approx. 3400 KLequiv. 3 days effluent generation)

The final treated effluent conforming to prescribed limits shall be discharged into GIDC u/g drainageconnected to Final pumping station from where it shall be conveyed into the deep sea by undergroundpipeline laid by GIDC.

Hence, wastewater generation and disposal shall have minimum impact on surface waters and groundwaters.

Proper housekeeping practices shall be followed in the unit to maintain clean and clear environment andprevent contamination of surface runoffs and storm waters.

The plant is provided with well structured storm water drainage network for preventing surface run-offs frommixing into sewers during monsoon.

During monsoon, when the treated water from STP cannot be used for irrigating the greenbelt, it shall bediverted to industrial effluent discharge line ensuring that the discharge quantity does not exceedpermissible limits. Periodic monitoring of storm water shall be carried out to ensure that it is notcontaminated.

For unforeseen waste stream generation due to equipment breakdown or emergency controlCauses or source of generation of wastewater stream can be -- Spillage from drums, bags etc.- Leakage from drums, bags, reactors, tanks, vessels, pipelines, valves, etc.- Vessel washing, container washingFor such effluent generation, following measures are taken,All plant buildings handling chemicals are provided with garland drains which are connected to separatecollection tank for storage of such unexpected effluents. This effluent is analysed in laboratory for givingsuitable treatment in controlled manner in the ETP. Untreatable effluent is sent for incineration.

operations To take utmost care to prevent leakages from pipe fittings, valves etc., garland drains shall be provided at

all plants and tank farms to route such occasional effluents to ETP.



Executive Summary


Spill control procedures to be practiced Maintain the adequacy and efficiency of all ETP components Monitor the performance of ETP by regular analysis The ETP units shall be maintained and leakages and blockages shall be attended immediately.

Further suggestions by EIA Consultant: The inlet effluent quality shall be analysed periodically for consistency in parameters and their values and

suitability of the treatment scheme should be ascertained.

EMP for impacts on Noise LevelsSources of noise generation and resultant increase in ambient noise levels of nearby villages is estimated usingmathematical model. Pl. refer section for prediction and mitigation of impacts on ambient noiseThe prediction indicates that there shall be negligible increase in ambient noise levels after the proposed expansion.For noise abatement, following measures shall be taken -

- Internal village roads shall not be used for transport- Use of acoustic enclosures for boiler installations

For minimizing and controlling noiselevels, following measures are proposed :- Ear muffs and ear plugs to operators- Maintenance of pumps and machinery and all rotating equipment- To avoid use of internal village roads for transport vehicles- Proper loading and unloading procedures- Maintaining the greenbelt since it also helps in reducing noise

EMP for Impacts on Land Environment Land pollution due to industrial wastewater percolation is eliminated through discharge of treated effluent

into underground pipeline which disposes the effluent finally into deep sea. Sewage water shall be treated in STP and treated sewage water shall be reused in gardening & Plant uses. Storm water shall be collected and adequately drained. EIA consultant has suggested to implement pre-

monsoon maintenance schedule for clearing all stormwater drains and take appropriate precautionarymeasures to prevent contaminated run-offs from mixing in storm water by regular analysis and necessarycordoning of process, ETP and storage areas. All such areas which pose contamination of storm watershould be provided with garland drains going to ETP.

Fugitive emissions and fugitive dusts shall be controlled as discussed in section 4.6 Solid wastes are stored in RCC floors with garland drains to contain any spillages. All plant buildings and

sheds are provided with garland drains. Soil contamination through chemical seepages is thus minimized. Internal roads are paved.

Hazardous/Non Hazardous Waste ManagementStorage

Total 16 categories of wastes are presently generated and none of the wastes shall increase due to theexpansion.

Also there is no new category of waste to be generated from proposed new products. Details of existing wastes as per authorization granted by GPCB have been presented in chapter 2

Only Distillation residue is generated from only one product – Vulkanox 4020 @ 1.4 kg/100 kg of product.After proposed expansion, max. 105 MT per annum of distillation residue shall be added considering 15000 MTAproduction of Vulkanox 4020.The existing generation of distillation residue does not exceed 100 MTA as verified from environmental audit reportsof 2013 & 2014.
