0.4 Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Soil
During the construction of proposed LPG bottling plant, there will be a small amount
of construction wastes, such as, metal cutting, oil, grease and debris, which may
contaminate soil at the site of construction. However, the extent of contamination will
not be significant. These wastes will not normally contaminate ground water. Their
impact on soil and surface water will be restricted to the construction period in small
area around the construction site during heavy rainfall only.
During operation phase of proposed LPG plant, no process waste will be generated.
About 15 kg solid wastes will be generated from office and canteen. Approx 300 l
used oil will be generated at the time of maintenance of DG sets. For collection,
management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes from the proposed LPG
plant, necessary mitigation measures will be taken same as for proposed LPG Plant.
Water Quality
The construction phase may result in minor soil erosion from the proposed LPG plant
site, as it will clear of ground flora and excavation for construction of proposed LPG
plant. The runoff from the construction site during rainfall may cause some increase
in the quantity of suspended solids and turbidity in the runoff in natural drain.
However, this impact will be of temporary nature and may not last as soon as
excavated soil established and construction debris are disposed of properly.
No process effluents will be generated during operation of proposed LPG Plant.
During operation of the proposed LPG plant, 6 kld domestic waste water will be
generated and same will be treated in properly designed sewage treatment plant.
Treated waste water will be utilized for green belt developed at the proposed LPG
plant.
The wastewater management philosophy will be based on “Zero Discharge”
concept.
Waste water from canteen and toilets at the proposed LPG Plant will be treated in
sewage treatment plant.
Approx 15 kg Municipal wastes (paper plastic, food wastes, etc) generated from
LPG plant will be collected and segregated. Recyclable wastes like paper and
plastic wastes will be sent for recycling, while biodegradable wastes like food and
EIA for Proposed LPG Bottling Plant with 3 X 300 MT Mounded Storage at village Khapri, Tehsil
Tilda, Raipur District in Chhattisgarh State Executive Summary
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt Ltd. vii
vegetable wastes will be disposed in compost pit. Non- biodegradable and non-
recyclable wastes will be sent to common landfill site.
Used oil (300 litres) will be generated from the maintenance of DG sets and same
will be handed over to CECB/MOEF&CC authorized used oil recyclers.
Ambient Air Quality
A certain amount of particulate matter will be generated during the construction phase
of proposed LPG plant. However, the suspended particulate matter in ambient air as a
result of construction activities may be relatively coarse and will be settled within a
short distance. Therefore, the impact will be restricted within the close vicinity of the
construction activity. Further, for construction of proposed LPG plant, construction
activities will be taken place for 18 months only, therefore, impacts will be observed
for short period and reversible in nature.
During operation of proposed LPG plant, there will not be any process emission
sources. No emissions will be generated during the bottling operations as the entire
bottling process will be carried out closed circuit through piping from storage area
to filling shed.
Very small quality of fugitive emissions of hydrocarbon may result from unloading
hose, faulty bottling, leaking cylinders and minor leaks. Gas detectors will be placed
at the proposed LPG plant at strategic locations to detect concentration of
hydrocarbon in the premises. DG sets installed at proposed LPG Bottling plant are
operated occasionally in case of power failure and these are not regular source of
gaseous emissions.
LPG Lorrie and trucks will have pollution under control (PUC) certificates. Regular
maintenance of LPG Lorrie and trucks will be ensured.
Noise
During the construction phase, cold cutting of metal sheets, bending, hammering,
erection of equipment, vehicle movement, DG sets may be major sources of noise
generation during construction of proposed LPG bottling plant. Relatively high noise
levels will be generated during construction phase.
No regular noise generation is expected due to the operation of proposed LPG bottling
plant. DG sets are to be operated only during grid power failure.

Tilda, Raipur District in Chhattisgarh State Executive Summary
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt Ltd. viii
Equipment specification and installation of acoustic enclosure with DG sets ensure
low level of noise generation. All the LPG lorries and trucks will essentially fitted
with silencers to control noise generation.
Peripheral green belt on 35450 sqm (33.9%) will be available around the LPG plant,
which will works as noise barrier.
Terrestrial Ecology
The site of construction of proposed LPG plant is free from trees and shrubs,
therefore, during construction phase, no vegetation needs will be cleared. Therefore,
no impact is anticipated on terrestrial ecology of the area.
At the proposed LPG plant, peripheral green belt will be developed on 35450 sqm
area, which is 33.9% of the total area of the proposed LPG plant. During operation
phase of proposed LPG plant, green belt will have positive impact on the ecology of
the study area. Growth of plantation and development of green belt at the proposed
LPG plant is likely to improve the flora and fauna at the area.
Socio-economic Impacts
During construction phase, only 90 workers will be deployed, mostly from local area.
The construction of proposed LPG bottling plant will not displace any person.
Operation of the LPG bottling plant will not require large work force. Total 50
persons will be sufficient for operation of LPG bottling plant. Therefore, large scale
immigration will not take place and the impact on demography of the area will be
insignificant.
0.5 Alternative Analysis
BPCL has planned to install proposed LPG Plant including 3 nos. of mounded vessels
of 300 MT each.
Alternative for Risk Reduction for LPG
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) handling has many challenges due to its inherent
dangerous properties. Some of the major fires/explosions have underlined the need for
total in depth review of design, procedures maintenance fire fighting and safety
aspects in LPG handling.

The cover of the mound protects the bullets from fire engulfment, radiation from a
fire in close proximity and acts of sabotage or vandalism. The area of land required to
locate mounded system is minimal compared to conventional storage. Mounded
vessels are semi-conventional pressure vessels, covered by a layer of sand and stone
aggregates. The cover of the mound protects the vessel from fire engulfment,
radiation from a fire in close proximity and acts of sabotage or vandalism.
BPCL has direct filling proposal on pilot basis from tank lorries to cylinders. In this
system, compressors will not be required. LPG from tank lorries will be directly
pumped to carousel machine through LPG unloading pump and Knock Out Drum
(KOD). This system is quite safe, quick and energy efficient.
0.6 Environmental Monitoring Plan
