Note: CO & VOC: Below Detectable Limit

Analysis of ambient air samples revealed that the Air quality is found well within the

prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality standards.

The main source of gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attached to

Thermic Fluid Heater and D. G. set.

Imported coal / Briquettes will be used as a fuel & fuel requirement shall be 3.36

MT/Day. Adequate stack height will be provided for proper atmosphere dispersion of

pollutant. The probable emitted pollutants will be PM, SO2 & NO2. Cyclone separator

followed by Bag Filter will be provided as APCM for the Thermic Fluid Heater. Diesel

will be used as a fuel for D. G. Set (back–up system). Therefore, the flue gas emission

will also be well within prescribed norms and there is no need of any air pollution

control measures for D. G. Set.





3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Analysis of ground water and surface water samples revealed that it is suitable for

domestic activity including agricultural activity. Ground water quality as well as

surface water quality in the area meets the Water Quality Standards (IS 10500) for

drinking water except for parameters like Turbidity, Chloride, Total Hardness, Calcium,

Magnesium, Sulphate & TDS.

Water Requirement

The total water requirement for the proposed project will be 17.5 kl/day. Out of this

water quantity 2.0 kl/day will be used for domestic purpose, 8.0 kl/day will be used for

greenbelt development purpose and 7.5 kl/day will be used for industrial activities.

The required water will be obtained through outside tankers.

Wastewater Generation and its Disposal

The domestic wastewater generation will be 1.7 kl/day from the proposed project

activity. The domestic wastewater generated will be disposed off through septic

tank/soak pit system.

The total industrial effluent generation from proposed project activity will be 1.8

kl/day, which will be from cooling tower purge, process and washing. Effluent

generated from Cooling tower (0.7 kl/day), Process (0.9 kl/day) & Washing (0.2 kl/day)

will be collected and treated in Effluent Treatment Plant. The treated effluent will be

evaporated in an evaporator system. Therefore, no effluent will be required to be

discharged and the stated process would be a ZERO DISCHARGE process.

4. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution on soil

causes direct / indirect effect on soil.

As all necessary air pollution control steps will be provided and based on the results of

the dispersion model for the Ground Level Concentrations of various pollutants (after

commissioning of the proposed project) it can be concluded that there will not be any

adverse impact of air pollution on soil.





It may be noted that there will be no disposal of untreated effluent on land. So, there

will be no adverse impact on land / soil due to water.

All necessary control steps will be provided for handling, storage and disposal of

solid/hazardous waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be any

significant impact of solid/hazardous waste on the soil environment.

5. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise level was recorded at eight locations within the study area to provide the

baseline data to describe the existing situations.

Results of noise level monitoring in the study area revealed that the day time & night

time noise level are within the permissible limit.

6. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

An assessment of socio-economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA study.

Socio-economic environment – demographic & related socio-economic data was

collected from District Census Handbook to assess socio-economic status of the study

area.

For proposed project activity, total 25 nos. of skilled and semi-skilled

employees/workers will be required. The indirect employment will be generated by

way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment for many people.

Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in the

plant. Economic status of the local people will improve due to the increased business





opportunities, thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical and housing

facilities in the study area will considerably improve.

7. ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY

The study area was dominated by agriculture landscape.

Major agricultural crops in the study area are Juwar, Lemon, Wheat, Aeranda, Karela,

Bajri, Bajaro, Marchi, Bhinda, Tomato, Ringan, Dadam, Kapas, Magphali and Ambo.

The commonly spotted bird species of this area were Indian Peafowl, Comb Duck,

Common Hoopse, Indian Roller, Common Kingfisher, Asian Koel, Rose-ringed Parakeet,

Grater Coucal, Rock pigeon, Green Bee-eater and House Swift.

The wild mammals found other than domesticated ones from study area were Nilgai,

Grey Mongoose, Golden Jackal, Striped Hyena, Indian Porcupine and Wild Bear.

8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The main hazardous waste generation will be ETP Sludge + Evaporation Residue, Used

Oil & Discarded Plastic Bags/Barrels.

ETP Sludge + Evaporation Residue will be disposed off at approved TSDF site. Used Oil

will be reused within premises as a lubricant or sold to registered recycler. Discarded

Plastic Bags/Drums will be reused within the premises / sold to authorized vendor.

Unit will provide storage area for hazardous wastes having roof, pucca flooring with

leachate collection system. Leachate, if any will be collected and treated in effluent

treatment plant. Unit will take membership of TSDF site after commencement of

proposed project.

Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will be adequate and

there will not be any major impact on the environment due to hazardous waste.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared for mitigation of the adverse

impacts.





The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management’s plan for

proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for pollutants

and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of green belt,

proper safety of workers, environmental monitoring plan, rain water harvesting, fire

protection system and measures etc.

An Environmental Management Cell will be formed for effective implementation of

Environmental Management Plan.

10. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAME

Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes in the

environmental status at various locations and effectiveness of the mitigative

measures. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring of ambient

air quality, stack emissions, analysis & monitoring of water environment and noise

level will be carried out as required / specified by statutory authority.

11. RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk analysis and study have been carried out for identification of hazards, selection of

maximum credible scenarios, risk mitigation measures etc. All the hazardous

chemicals will be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines. Personal protective

equipments will be provided to the workers.

12. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Based on risk assessment study, preventive measures are identified to ensure good

health and safety of workers. Such measures include: Provision of PPEs like ear plug,

ear muff etc. where noise levels in excess then 80 dB (A); Regular medical check-up of

workers; Provision of basic infrastructure i.e. drinking water, sanitation, first aid etc. to

workers. Use of proper PPE’s during plant operation, hazardous waste handling,

chemical handling etc.

13. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Total land area of 3,229 m2 (34.95 %) has been allotted for greenbelt development.

This will contain common tree species found in study area which is tolerant to

pollutants as well as acts as noise absorbers. This will not only mitigate the ecological

problem but also enhance the beauty of project area that will attract avifauna, small





mammals & insect species, and by this way ecological balance can be maintained to

great extent.

14. PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area or community in

terms of infrastructural development, social development, employment and other

benefits.

The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi-skilled and

unskilled employees during construction phase as well as operation phase. A total 25

nos. of person is likely to get employment due to the proposed project. The project

will earmark 2.0 % of total capital investment for socio-economic development

activities in surrounding villages.

15. CONCLUSION

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air

pollution control measures will be provided.

No ecological damage will occur.

No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

Local employment opportunities will increase.

Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuary and

Religious / Historical Places will not be affected.

Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollutant

parameters and Environment Management Cell has been set-up to ensure that

these parameters do not exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.

After commissioning of the proposed project the Environmental Management Cell

will take care of all the pollution control measures.

It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation

measures and environmental management plan during the construction & operational

phase, there will be negligible impact on the environment.
