Yes The operation of various construction equipment requires combustion of fuel. Normally diesel is used in such equipment. The major pollutant which gets emitted as a result of fuel

Form 1


14



combustion is SO2. The SPM emission is minimum due to low ash content in diesel. The short term increase in SO2, even assuming all the equipments are operating at a common point is expected to be quite low. Thus, no adverse impacts on ambient air quality is anticipated

5.2 Emissions from production processes

No -

5.3 Emissions from materials handling including storage or transport

Yes During construction phase there will be increase in vehicular movement. Construction material will be brought and stored at various sites. Due to blowing of wind, especially when environment is dry, some of the stored material can get entrained in the atmosphere. However, impact on this account is not expected to be significant.

5.4 Emissions from construction activities including plant and equipment

Yes The operation of various construction equipments requires combustion of fuel. Normally diesel is used in such equipments. The major pollutant which gets emitted as a result is SO2. The SPM emission is minimum due to low ash content in diesel. The short term increase in SO2, even assuming all the equipment are operating at a common point is expected to be quite low. Thus, no adverse impacts on ambient air quality is anticipated

5.5 Dust or odours from handling of materials including construction materials, sewage and waste

development or development stimulated by the project which could have impact on the environment e.g.: Supporting infrastructure (roads, power supply, waste or waste water treatment, etc.) Housing development Extractive industries Supply industries Other

likely to deploy during construction phase. The availability of infrastructure could be a problem during the initial construction phase. As a part of Environmental Management Plan, following facilities shall be developed for the construction staff/ technical staff likely to be deployed during project construction phase :

Potable water supply

Community toilets and sewage treatment

Free fuel like LPG/ Kerosene

Solid waste management

Dispensary/First-aid post

9.2

Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment

No -

9.3 Set a precedent for later developments

Yes Increase in agriculture production During project operation phase, the cropped and irrigated area in increase significantly. The increase in cropping and irrigation intensities will increase the agricultural production, with a corresponding increase in the remuneration from agriculture. The increased income levels will have a quantitative effect on the quality of demand for various facilities, which will facilitate improvement in the infrastructure sector. The increased income levels would lead to demands for better communication, health, education and other services. The increased income levels would also provide an impetus for development of these facilities. Improvement in livestock The improvement in the socio-economic status of the population in the command area will indirectly improve the quality of livestock. The main reasons could be improvement in the supply and availability of the veterinary services along with the betterment in the infrastructure facilities in the area.

Form 1


18



During project operation phase project food grain production will increase significantly. The increase in agriculture would correspondingly increase the availability of agriculture by products. Assuming even 20-30% of agriculture by product is usable as fodder; a huge quantity of fodder will be available. This will reduce the pressure on the existing forests or vegetation of the area, which is a significant positive impact. The project would also improve the water availability for livestock. This coupled with improved fodder availability is likely to improve the livestock status of the area. Employment generation The increase in the irrigation intensity in the command area would improve the employment scenario to a large extent. The introduction of irrigation requires a greater amount of labour in fields. This would improve the employment scenario not only for the local farmers, but would also increase the demand for agricultural labour. On average, labour demand in irrigated and un-irrigated field is 200 man days/year/ha and 100 man days/ha/year. It is a well-established fact that with the introduction of irrigation, the manpower requirement per unit of agricultural land increases. Thus, with the increase in the irrigation intensity, manpower requirement in the agriculture sector would increase significantly. Thus, the increased irrigation intensity will ensure employment to a large number of rural populations, which is a significant positive impact. Urbanization The commissioning of the project will increase the gross money flow in the command area. This will lead to

Form 1


19



significant impacts in the project area. The area will have increased demands for services, such as sewerage system, communication, transportation, medical and educational facilities, etc. It is presumed that all these developments would result in generation of additional employment. Thus, with the increased income level, there will be a greater impetus for urbanization in the command area. Industrialization The cropping pattern proposed for the command area envisages significant increase in the production of safflower, sunflower, wheat, cotton, groundnut, etc. The increased production will lead to mushrooming of small scale agro-industries. The increased level of industrialization would provide greater employment opportunities. The industrialization will also increase the demands for improvement in infrastructure facilities. This will lead to improvement in roads, communication, markets, storage yards, service yards, etc. as ancillary benefits. Other changes With the improvement in irrigation intensity, there will be an increase in the agricultural production of the command area. This, subsequently, will increase the money flow in the command area as well as in the surrounding areas. The increased agricultural production will automatically lead to industrialization and demand for better infrastructural facilities. There will be an increased migration in the command area, as it will provide better economic avenues in comparison to the surrounding area.

Form 1


20



The influx of migrants in the area will slightly change the population composition. The influx of migrants along with the increasing pressure on land and greater influx of money in the command area will lead to a diversification of occupational profile. Small scale industrial units and commercial establishments are likely to come in the area. The command area will have increased demands for services, such as sewerage system, communication, transportation, recreation, schools, hospitals, etc. The benefit of all these development is generation of additional employment. This array of services can provide amenities hitherto lacking and stimulate changes in the tasks performed by women in society and to the status of women within the society The details of the above referred impacts will be assessed and quantified to the extent possible as part of EIA study.
