facilities such as connectivity, roads, open space, water supply, drainage and Sewer etc.

keeping in view the land use as per Master Plan. All construction activities will be

confined within the project area. There will be no physical changes outside the project


Page 4

boundary. Development and Construction of proposed project will be done as per

applicable norms/byelaws.

1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence &instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence,seismicity etc may be given).

Soil Type:

Type of soil: Loamy clay with fine sand

There will be no significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence orinstability. The area is fairly plain and subsoil strata are alluviums deposited bywater courses, geologically the litho log sections show dominant of sandpercentage.

Erosion / Subsidence: Project will provide ample green space. Therefore, it will not cause any soil

erosion, subsidence or instability problems.Seismicity:

According to the Indian Standard Seismic Zoning Map, the area under studyfalls in Zone-IV. Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and verticaldirections will be adopted while designing the structures.

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details ona contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).

There will be no alteration of natural Drainage System. The area is fairly plain and the

natural slope will be towards the Hindon River.

1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity cutting,filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved,transport of fill materials from outside the site etc).

It is estimated that approximately 3, 00,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated

during initial construction phase for foundations & basement. Excavated earth shall be

reutilized into backfilling and leveling. Very little cutting & filling will be done as the

site is fairly plain. The top soil excavated during construction will be first temporarily

stored in an area earmarked and then partly shall be used to fill up low lying areas

around the project site and rest of the soil shall be transported to the designated disposal

site in tune with the local norms.

1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the constructionperiod.

Source of water: Municipal water supply will be the primary source of water

requirement during construction phase and incase of shortage of water, water

tankers will be procured from local market to cater the need of water supply.


Page 5

Construction Debris (Bricks, Cement, Concrete and Mortar) generated will

be reused in road construction, backfilling and leveling, spare debris (if any)

will be disposed off as per the norms.

Ready mix concrete will be used.

The fertile top soil will be reused for horticultural purpose.

Spillage of oil from the machineries will be properly collected and disposed off.

Septic tank with soak pit shall be provided to take care of waste water generated

from site (labor camps and site office)

Domestic solid waste generated will be managed as per MSW (M & H) Rule.

1.8 Will the low-lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lyingand wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity).

No wetland or low lying area within project site. However, Hindon River situated at

One Kilometer from proposed project site. Thus no change is envisaged in wetland.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard?(Give quantities of various types of wastes generated during constructionincluding the construction labour and the means of disposal)

Wastes which will be generated during the construction phase include the following:

Excavated materials from earthworks (e.g. cuttings, basement excavation, foundation

etc), general construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and

empty cement bags); hazardous wastes generated by general site practices (e.g. vehicle

and plant maintenance/servicing); and Municipal wastes generated by site workers.

Most of the construction waste will be reused in road construction and surplus will be

sold to recyclers.

Excavated Materials from EarthworksIt is estimated that approx. 3, 00,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during

initial construction for foundations & basement etc. Maximum percentage of excavated

material will be re-used within premises for different purposes. The excess earth would

only be the construction wastes and will not cause any health hazards.

Municipal Waste & Other wasteMunicipal wastes comprise food wastes, packaging and waste paper. Generation rate of

solid waste from labour colony will vary from place to place due to habits and living

condition. Approximately 0.25 Kg/capita/day of municipal waste may be expected

during construction phase. The domestic waste water generated from construction

camps shall be disposed off through septic tank / soak pit or municipal sewer.


Page 6

Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials may be observed at

construction site. However the quantity of their waste materials would be very small

and limits up to the construction site only. Contamination by these wastes would be

negligible and would be collected time to time during construction phase and disposed

off accordingly.

The Impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature.

2.2 What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water?

Dynamic Ground Water Resources of Uttar PradsehAnnual Replenishable Ground water Resource 76.35 BCMNet Annual Ground Water Availability 70.18 BCMAnnual Ground Water Draft 48.78 BCMStage of Ground Water Development 70 %

Hydrogeologically, the States can be divided into Five units namely (1) Bhabar (2) Tarai (3)

Central Ganga plains (4) Marginal alluvial plains and (5) Southern Peninsular zone. The first one

is in the extreme north followed successively by the rest southwardly. The yield of tubewells

tapping Bhabar and Tarai zones ranges between 100-300 m3/hr and 100-200 m3/hr, respectively.

The water level is deep in Bhabar where as in Tarai auto flow conditions are noticed with

piezometric head of 6-9 m bgl. The Central Ganga plain is characterized by low relief and

numerous alluvial features. There are four major aquifers in the depth range of 700 mbgl. The

yield of these tubewells ranges from 90 to 200 m3/hr. The thickness of sediments in Marginal

alluvium is 50-300 m and yield of tubewells is between 35 to 70 m3/hr. The yield prospects of

Vindhyan & crystalline rocks in the southern peninsular region are limited.

2.7 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of thefacilities created.

Rain Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater

collected from the rooftop will be conveyed into the rainwater harvesting system consisting of

Desilting-cum-filter Chamber, oil and grease separators and Recharge wells for recharge into the

groundwater. Rain water from green and paved area will percolated into ground and augment the

water level. Location of Rain water harvesting chamber will be between two adjacent towers. No

demand will be met from the process.

Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period of

years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given

frequencies. The longer the record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In Indian

conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 15 mm/hr to 40 mm/hr.

The intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr. Refer

Annexure 17 for Rain Water Harvesting Details; RWH plan is enclosed as Annexure: 10


Page 10

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project onthe runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the postconstruction phase on a long-term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding orwater logging in any way?

Maximum storm rainfall of 25 mm has been assumed on the past experience. No adverse impacts

are envisaged due to proposed project on the run off characteristics of the area as adequate

arrangements have been made to trap the rainwater and suitable storm water drainage system has

been provided.

During the post-construction phase, runoff from the project shall not be allowed to stand and

create water logging or enter into the road side or nearby drain. Adequate measures shall be taken

to collect such run off and either shall be reuse or stored in recharging pits. Suitable garlanding

drain as per the existing contours of the plot will be developed. There is no landscape change

planned. The project will not aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way, as

the topography is plain.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of groundwater; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtainedfrom competent authority, if any).

There will be no impact on the groundwater by the proposed project; fresh water shall be supplied

from Municipal water supply.

Actually the groundwater will be augmented further as rainwater harvesting is proposed. The rain

water collected from Roof top areas will be sent for ground water recharging through 12 nos. of

RWH pits. 214.776 m3/hr of water is available for ground water recharge which will be recharge

through RWH pits and percolation from paved & unpaved area. A major part of the area is

under green or open land. Therefore, most of the rain water will be directly infiltrated through

these open/green areas. Hence no adverse impacts are envisaged due to the project on the

ground water quality and the level. Maximum recharging of the underground aquifer will be

done to compensate the extracted water.

Detail Ground water study will be carried out and submitted with EIA report, if required.

2.10 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activitiespolluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid theadverse impacts).

Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the run off from the project site. The

impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated site,


Page 11

only to increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of run off water from the site. However,

this impact will be temporary in nature and would be observed in first rain only and as soon as the

rain is over, excavated soil at site would be stabilized therefore the surface water quality during

rains will be impacted marginally for very short duration. Plantation of trees will be start from

construction phase. No runoff will be disposed outside the project boundary except in rare

conditions to municipal drains.

2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoidflooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layoutindication contour levels).

Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water pipedrains has been planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down throughdrain water pipes. Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drains, catch basins and seepagepits at regular intervals for rain water harvestings and ground water recharging. The storm rainfallof 100 mm/hr. has been considered for designing the storm water drainage system.

2.12 Will the deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead tounsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).

Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from temporary labour camps on site, which will betemporary in nature during the initial construction phase. Bins should be placed near the campsfor solid waste collection. The solid waste will be properly disposed as per MSW Rules 2000. Thesewage will be disposed through septic tank or municipal sewer. Therefore during, constructiontheir will not be any unsanitary conditions around the project area.

2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage?(Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities withtechnology & facilities for recycling and disposal).

Sewer network will be used for collection of sewage. 1133.8 KLD waste water will be generatedfrom the project will be treated in STP.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system, if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or anyother use.Dual Plumbing will be provided for utilization of recycled water for flushing of toilets. Designand details of dual plumbing shall be provided.

3. VEGETATION3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local

ecosystem with its unique features, if any).Bio diversity rich area like Hindan River at a distance of about 1 km from proposed site (aerialdistance). Details of the Flora-Fauna shall be provided with EIA report.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide adetailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).

There are no significant vegetations, except some ground cover within the site.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on importantsite features? (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of waterbodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale).

Total landscaped area proposed for project is 10% of the plot area. A combination of evergreen

and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground covers will be planted along the sides

of the roads and in open spaces & sat back area within the complex. Layout Plan showing Green

area is attached as Annexure-11.

Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper landscaping

reduces direct sun from striking the buildings and heating up building surfaces, prevents reflected

light carrying heat into a building from the ground or surfaces, creates different airflow patterns

and can be used to direct or divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference.

Shade created by trees and the effects of grass and shrubs reduce air temperature adjoining the

building and provide evaporative cooling. A study shows that the ambient air under a tree is 20C

to 2.50C lower than that for adjacent un-shaded areas.

Parks & Avenue PlantationOrnamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for students/staff torelax and suitable patches of lawns shall be provided. The following trees proposed to be plantedin the proposed project.

Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.

Trees with branching at 10 feet and above. Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic, fruit trees to be

avoided because children may obstruct traffic and general movement of public.

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate,elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and having significantimportance are provided in Table-5. The plants should exhibit the following desirablecharacteristic in order to be selected for plantation.

Disposal

Generated Solid waste shall be segregated at site and transported to the nearest landfill site by the

waste management agency. Biodegradable waste shall be subject to composting (Bio-

composting/In-vessel composting) and ready manure will be sold to open market. Inert waste

shall be utilized for preparation of brick & paved block. However, the MSW management

approach will be towards zero landfill by reducing the amount of inert waste.

E-Waste

E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2011,12th May) Electronic waste, popularly known as

‘e-waste’ can be defined as waste electrical and electronic equipments whole or in part or reject

(such as CDs, floppies, keyboards, monitors, power plug, batteries, etc.) which have become

obsolete due to:

Advancement in technology

Changes in fashion, style and status

Nearing the end of their useful life.

Responsibility of Consumer or Bulk Consumer

According to E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2011) responsibility of Consumer or Bulk

Consumer is given below:

Consumer or Bulk Consumer of electrical and electronic equipment shall ensure that e-

waste generated by them is channelized to authorized collection centers or registered

dismantlers or recyclers or is return back to the pick-up or take back services provided by

the producers.

Bulk consumers shall maintain records of e-waste generated by them in Form-2 and make

records available to UPPCB.

The e-waste generated from the proposed project would be suitably managed through assistance

from E-parisira.

The mantra of "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" applies here also.

Reduce generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good maintenance.

Reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating or selling it to someone who can

still use it.

Recycle those components that cannot be repaired. To identify organizations who reuse or

recycle electronics.

resulting in significant amount of energy saving.

9.6 Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been usedto maximize the shading of Walls on the East and the West and the Roof? How much energysaving has been effected?Shading options wherever feasible will be used for energy saving. Roofs will be either having

waste white tiles or painted with reflective, aluminum based paints with solar reflectance ranging

from 0.3-0.6. This will result in less absorption of sunlight causing 40% back reflection and less

heating of building structures during summer season. This will effectively reduce the heat load of

the building envelope.
