Permissible limit[NAAQ standards 2009]

60 g/m3 100 g/m3 80 g/m3 80 g/m3

Note: CO: Not Detected; VOC: Below Detectable Limit

Analysis of ambient air samples revealed that the Air quality is found wellwithin the prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality standards.

The main source of gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attachedto Steam Boiler and D. G. set.

Agro Waste / Briquettes will be used as a fuel & fuel requirement shall be 60kg/hr. Adequate stack height will be provided for proper atmospheredispersion of pollutant. The probable emitted pollutants will be PM, SO2 &NO2. Multi cyclone separator will be provided as APCM for the Steam Boiler.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 ofany air pollution control measures for D. G. Set.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Analysis of ground water and surface water samples revealed that it is suitablefor domestic activity including agricultural activity. Ground water quality inthe area meets the Water Quality Standards (IS 10500) for drinking waterexcept for parameters like Iron and Residual Chlorine whereas surface waterquality in the area meets the Water Quality Standards (IS 10500) for drinkingwater except for parameters like pH, Turbidity and Residual Chlorine.

Water RequirementThe total water requirement for the proposed project will be 18 kl/day. Out ofthis water quantity 1 kl/day will be used for domestic purpose, 3 kl/day will beused for industrial activities and 14 kl/day will be used for greenbeltdevelopment purpose. The required water will be obtained through Borewell.

Wastewater Generation and its DisposalThe domestic wastewater generation will be 0.8 kl/day from the proposedproject activity. The domestic wastewater generated will be disposed offthrough septic tank/soak pit system.

The total industrial effluent generation from proposed project activity will be1.2 kl/day, which will be from boiler blow down, cooling tower purge andwashing. Effluent generated from Boiler (0.07 kl/day), Cooling Tower (0.13kl/day) & Washing (1 kl/day) will be collected and treated in EffluentTreatment Plant. The treated effluent will be evaporated in an evaporatorsystem. Therefore, no effluent will be required to be discharged and the statedprocess would be a ZERO DISCHARGE process.

4. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution onsoil causes direct / indirect effect on soil.






As all necessary air pollution control steps will be provided and based on theresults of the dispersion model for the Ground Level Concentrations of variouspollutants (after commissioning of the proposed project) it can be concludedthat 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 effect on land / soil due to water.

All necessary control steps will be provided for handling, storage and disposalof solid/hazardous waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be anysignificant 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 thebaseline data to describe the existing situations.

Results of noise level monitoring in the study area revealed that the in day timenoise level are higher than the permissible limit at Dehgam, Kadjodra &Sanoda location where transportation activities are on higher side whereasduring night time noise monitoring results are slightly higher than thepermissible limit at Dehgam location which is nearer to highway where trafficmovement is also continue during night time.






6. SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

An assessment of socio economic environment forms an integral part of an EIAstudy. Socio economic environment – demographic & related socio economicdata was collected from District Census Handbook to assess socio economicstatus of the study area.

For proposed project activity, total 10 nos. of skilled and semi skilledemployees/ workers will be required. The indirect employment will begenerated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employmentfor many people.

Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs inthe plant. Economic status of the local people will improve due to the increasedbusiness 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.

Domestic tree species found in the study area are Baval, Neem, Arduso,Gulmohar, Asopalav, Shirish, Mango, Nilgiri, Shisham and Garmalo. Foresttree species found in the study area are Kher, Khakhro and Mahudo. Majorcrops in the study area are Cotton, Castor, Lemon, Sapodilla, Rice, Wheat andMillet.

The commonly spotted bird species of this area were House Sparrow, BlueRock Pigeon, Bulbul, Asian Koel, Common Myna, Rose ringed Parakeet,Shikra, Peacock, Cattle Egret, Black Headed Ibis and Common Kingfisher.

The wild mammals found other than domesticated ones from study area wereNilgai, Grey Mongoose, Hanuman Langoor, Golden Jackal, Hyena and WildBoar.






8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The main hazardous waste generation will be ETP Sludge + EvaporationResidue, Used Oil & Discarded Plastic Bags/Drums.

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 registeredrecycler. Discarded Plastic Bags/Drums will be sold to authorized vendor.

Unit will provide storage area for hazardous wastes having roof, pucca flooringwith leachate collection system. Leachate, if any will be collected and treated ineffluent treatment plant. Unit will take membership of TSDF site aftercommencement of proposed project.

Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will beadequate and there will not be any major impact on the environment due tohazardous waste.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared for mitigation of theadverse impacts.

The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management’splan for proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control systemfor pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includesdevelopment of green belt, proper safety of workers, environmentalmonitoring plan, rain water harvesting, fire protection system and measuresetc.

An Environmental Management Cell will be formed for effectiveimplementation of Environmental Management Plan.

10. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAME

Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes inthe environmental status at various locations and effectiveness of the mitigative






measures. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring ofambient air quality, stack emissions, analysis & monitoring of waterenvironment and noise level will be carried out as required / specified bystatutory 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 thehazardous chemicals will be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines.Personal protective equipments will be provided to the workers.

12. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Such measures include: Provision of PPEslike ear plug, ear muff etc. where noise levels in excess then 80 dB (A); Regularmedical check up of workers; Provision of basic infrastructure i.e. drinkingwater, sanitation, first aid etc. to workers. Use of proper PPE’s during plantoperation, hazardous waste handling, chemical handling etc.

13. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Total land area of 4,457 m2 (34.2%) has been allotted for greenbelt development.This will contains common tree species found in study area which is tolerant topollutants as well as acts as noise absorbers. This will not only mitigate theecological problem but also enhance the beauty of project area that will attractavifauna, small mammals & insect species, and by this way ecological balancecan be maintained to great extent.

14. PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area orcommunity in terms of infrastructural development, social development,employment and other benefits.






The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi skilledand unskilled employees during construction phase as well as operation phase.A total 10 nos. of person is likely to get employment due to the proposedproject. The project will earmark 2.0 % of total capital investment for socioeconomic development activities in surrounding villages.

15. CONCLUSION

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary airpollution 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 thepollutant parameters and Environment Management Cell has been set upto ensure that these parameters do not exceed the norms set out by theconcerned authorities.After commissioning of the proposed project the EnvironmentalManagement Cell will take care of all the pollution control measures.

Chapter-3: Description of Environment 3.1

CHAPTER - 3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

3.1 Introduction

Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) needs a datum on which theevaluation can be done. It is necessary to collect data about different environmentalcomponents like air, noise, water, land, flora and fauna and socio economic factorsthat are being affected by the operation of any project activity, which, in turn, definesan existing environmental quality to serve as the datum.

Baseline data requirement is also necessary to identify environmentally significantissues as well as to enumerate the critical environmental change that is likely to occurdue to the project activity. Here an attempt has been made to collect the informationabout an existing environment on the below mentioned six major environmentalattributes:

Air EnvironmentWater EnvironmentNoise EnvironmentLand & Soil EnvironmentBiologcal EnvironmentSocio – Economic Environment

An effective methodology is important for baseline data collection and impactprediction to develop an efficient environment management plan. In this regard, it isimportant to understand the ground realities of the site and surrounding by theexperts involved in preparation of EIA. Accordingly, a team of experts visited theproposed site to understand the site surrounding and possible impacts from theactivities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation with therespective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TORsprescribed by the EAC, New Delhi.





Subsequently, the field monitoring was undertaken during October to December,2017 by the T. R. Associates Laboratory. The collected data were analysed andinterpreted.

3.2 Air Environment

Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significantimpacts on the neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms animportant part of impact assessment studies. The ambient air quality status withrespect to the study area of 10 km radius from the plant site will form the baselineinformation over which the predicted impacts due to the proposed plant can be superimposed to find out the net (final) impacts on air environment. From the final impactsa viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the impactstatement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality canbe assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network.The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has to bebased on the following considerations.

Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale.Topography of the study area.Representation of regional background levels.Representation of plant site.Representation of cross sectional distribution in the downwind direction.Influence of the existing sources if any, are to be kept at minimum.Inclusion of major distinct villages to collect the baseline status.

3.2.1 Micrometeorological Data

Micro meteorological data within the project area during the air quality monitoringperiod is an indispensable part of air pollution study. The meteorological datarecorded during monitoring period is very useful for proper interpretation of thebaseline information as well as serves as an input, to predictive models for air qualityimpacts.





To understand meteorological scenario primary and secondary data are collected. Thisdata is used in the interpretation of wind scenario. The data collected from the bothsources are summarized as follows:

Table 3.1: Period of Meteorological Data Collection

MeteorologicalData

Primary data (October to December 2017): Parameters like WindSpeed, Wind Direction, Temperature, Humidity and Precipitationcollected for project site using Automatic Weather Station.Secondary data (Entire Year): Secondary data has been collectedfrom the nearest IMD source (Ahmedabad) for Temperature,Humidity, Rainfall, Wind Speed.

3.2.1.1 Meteorological Data from Secondary Sources

The Gandhinagar district experiences semi arid type of climate. The rainy season lastsfrom June to September and coincides with south west monsoon. Winter season lastfrom November to February and summer season from March to June. About 95% ofthe annual rainfall is received during south west monsoon season (June to Sept.), Julybeing the heavy rainfall month. There is no climatological station in Gandhinagar,however, the IMD Station located at Ahmedabad Airport is quite close to Gandhinagarand is representative for the district. The annual normal rainfall (1930 60) for theAhmedabad IMD Station is about 823 mm. The climatological data for AhmedabadIMD Station is given in Table 3.2.

The general temperature in Gandhinagar district increases rapidly from February toMay, the later being the hottest month with mean daily maximum and minimumtemperature as 41° and 26°C respectively. The district is sometimes affected by coldwaves due to western disturbances that pass across north India causing minimumtemperature to drop the freezing point. In the monsoon months, the relative humidityis generally 65% or more. However, the rest of the year is comparatively dry. Marchand April are the driest months where the humidity in less than 45% dropping to 20%or less in the afternoons.





Winds are generally light except in the late summer and in early part of southwestmonsoon period when they are moderate to stormy especially in the southwestdirection (about 10 km/h).

3.2.1.2 Primary Meteorological Data (Duration: October December, 2017)

Meteorology of the study area plays an important role in the study of air pollution.Micrometeorological conditions at the project site regulate the dispersion anddilution of air pollutants in the atmosphere. For this purpose, a weather station wasinstalled near the project site for the period October to December, 2017 and recordedhourly observations for the parameters like Temperature, Relative Humidity, WindSpeed, Wind Direction and Rainfall.

Meteorological conditions, of the site, regulates the transport and diffusion of airpollutants released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, winddirection and atmospheric stability are called primary or basic meteorologicalparameters because the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly onthese Parameters. Humidity, precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondarymeteorological parameters as this control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectlyby affecting primary parameters.

The hourly recorded observations during above stated study period are used incomputing percentage frequencies and are depicted in the form of ‘wind roses’ inFigure 3.3. Primary meteorological data are shown in Annexure 3. Based on thestated wind rose diagram it can be interpretated that seasonal downwind directionof the study area lies between South West (NE) to East (E).

3.3 Noise Environment

Noise word come from the Latin word ‘nauseas’, is a loud outcry or commotion that isunpleasant, unexpected, or undesired with various frequencies over the audible rangedue to the regular activities of the mankind primarily noise pollution (orenvironmental noise) is displeasing human, animal or machine created sound thatdisrupts the activity or balance of humans or animals life. The source of most outdoornoise worldwide is mainly evolved from industries, constructions and transportationsystems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise, poor urbanplanning may give rise to noise pollution.

Industrial noise resulting to noise pollution has many reasons such as industries beingclose to human habitats which prevent the noise from decaying before it reacheshuman ear.

A determination is made of the micro scale impact by predicting anticipated noiselevels for each alternative during both construction and operational phases. Predictednoise levels are compared with applicable standards or criteria in order to assess theimpact.

The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency.Noise in general sound which comprises of many frequency components withdifferent variations in loudness over the audible frequency range.

Various noise scales have been introduced to describe, a single number, the responseof an average human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at differentloud levels, the response of the human ear to sound is dependent on the frequency ofthe sound and this has led to the concept of weighting scales. In the A weightingscale, the sound pressure levels for the lower frequencies and higher frequencies arereduced by certain amounts before they are being combined together to give one singlesound pressure level value. This value is designated as dB (A). The dB (A) is oftenused as it reflects more accurately the frequency response of the human ear. Aperceived loud noise has a high dB or dB (A) value and a soft noise has a low one. The





human ear has peak response around 2,500 to 3,000 Hz and has a relatively lowresponse at low frequencies.

3.3.1 Existing Noise Levels

Pre project noise levels have been monitored at different points within the study zoneand on the spot measurement device manufactured by LUTRON SL 4033 SD was usedfor this purpose. Keeping in view of various local activities such as residential andindustrial activities 8 noise level measurement locations were identified and the sitesare depicted in the Figure 3.6 & Table 3.8.

3.3.2 Baseline Status of Ambient Noise Quality

The minimum noise level measured in the study area was 40.1 dB (A) in day time and36.9 dB (A) in night time. The maximum noise level measured in the study area was74.5 dB (A) in daytime and 52.1 dB (A) in night time. The noise levels (Leq) of the





residential area within the impact zone varied from 53.8 – 64.8 dB (A) in the daytimeand 40.8 – 47.9 dB (A) in the night time. Based on the noise monitoring results it can beconcluded that in day time noise level are higher than the permissible limit at Dehgam,Kadjodra & Sanoda location where transportation activities are on higher side whereasduring night time noise monitoring results are slightly higher than the permissiblelimit at Dehgam location which is nearer to highway where traffic movement iscontinuous during night time.





3.4 Water Environment

Studies on Water Environment aspects of ecosystem is important for EnvironmentalImpact Assessment to identify sensitive issues and take appropriate action bymaintaining ‘ecological homeostasis’ in the early stages of development of the project.The objective of this report is to define the present environment in which the proposedaction is to occur, to evaluate all possible eventualities, to ensure that all negativeimpacts are minimized, and to demonstrate that proposed project has beenappropriately announced to all interested parties so that their concerns can beconsidered.

Water quality studies have been carried out in the study area to understand theavailability of water resources, possibility of water contamination and existing waterquality.

3.4.1 Water Quality

Water of high quality is essential to human life, and water of acceptable quality isessential for agricultural, industrial, domestic and commercial uses; in addition, mostrecreation is water based; therefore, major activities having potential effects on surfacewater are certain to be of appreciable concern to the consumers.

3.4.1.1 Sample Collection and Analysis

The water resources in the study area may be classified into two major categories i.e.Surface and Ground water sources

Water samples were collected at 16 locations, out of which 8 samples were selectedfrom surface sources and 8 samples selected from ground water sources for physicochemical and biological parameters. Parameters like pH, Temperature and DOanalysed at the time of sampling at the site itself. For other Parameter analysis thesamples were preserved as per the recommended techniques for various Elementaldeterminations as per `IS: 3025 (part I) 1987’. These parameters were analyzed as perthe procedures specified in ‘Standard Methods for Examination of Water andWastewater’ Published by American Public Health Association (APHA) / IS 3025.





Ground water & Surface water samples results were compared with IS: 10500specifications.

Method of Water Sampling

The following procedures were followed while sampling:Washing the bottles/cans with distilled water prior to the samplingBefore collection of water the bottles/cans are again washed 2 3 times with thesame water.For surface water, bottles were lowered to a minimum depth of 30 cm belowwater surface.At each point different sets of water samples were collected so as cover all theparameters.Proper attention is taken in proper numbering at the site.Sterilized bottles were used for the samples that are to be analyzed for bacteria.Civil supply water pipeline taps are sterilized before collection for bacteriologicalanalysisParameters like pH, conductivity and temperature were analyzed in the fieldconditions and the results were reconfirmed after getting to the laboratory. DO isfixed in the field itself. Appropriate preservatives are added, depending upon theelements to be analyzed and marked accordingly (IS: 3025 (part I) 1987)All the water samples collected in the ice box, were immediately transported tothe laboratory and freezed at < 5oC for analysisField observations were noted in the field notebookAs far as possible photographs were taken in almost all sampling points.Sampling & analysis of all the parameters are as per APHA, 22nd Edition & IS:3025.

3.5 Soil Environment

Natural soils are the product of physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Thephysical properties are formed during the course of formation and the subsequentexistence is depending upon the topography, hydro meteorological condition andhuman interference. Soil characteristics of a terrain are more important aspects sincethey play a major role in ground water recharge and meet the basic needs of allagricultural production.

3.5.1 Soil Type

The soils in the Gandhinagar district are generally sandy loam type with grey tobrown colour. They are generally deep and have moderate to good permeability anddrainability. In the western part of the Gandhinagar district the soils are alkaline typeand saline. They are typically deep, grey, calcareous sandy loam of very lowpermeability.

3.5.2 Methodology of Sample Collection and Analysis

For soil quality analysis 8 sampling sites were chosen to understand physico chemicaland biological status of the soil. Sampling sites selected for sample collection aremarked in Figure 3.12 and photographs showing soil sampling is shown in Figure3.13. This will establish the baseline characteristics and will facilitate identifying thecontamination if any due to the proposed project.

Collection of soil samples and analysis

Disturbed soil samples were collected with the help of the rotary cuttings and bailersand also from split spoon samplers. Un disturbed tube samples were collected usingthin walled tubes. Soil samples were collected such that structure and moisture contentof the soil do not get altered. In accordance with IS: 2720, split samples were carefullyextracted from the samplers.

Meticulous was paid to collect adequate amount of composite soil samples foranalysis. The samples were packed in dependable, waterproof containers and markingspecified accurately and distinctly. All the soil samples and core boxes were carefully





transported to the testing laboratory. Soil sampling and analysis has been done as perthe Indian Standard IS – 2720.

3.6 Geo Hydrological Features

Introduction

Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar cities are an important major inland city in the Gujaratstate, and is the sixth largest city in the country. Rapid urban, AUDA, industrialgrowth and its continuous expansion has created problems related to water supplysewage/effluent disposal leading to ground water depletion and pollution.

The present report incorporates Urban & AUDA hydrogeology and ground waterscenario based on the scientific information gathered from CGWB, GWSSB, GWRDCand other state agencies with special reference to surrounidgs of HappinessPharmaceuticals Ltd., Gandhinagar to envisage appropriate remedial measureskeeping environmental impact of Urban & AUDA development in view.

The average annual dependable rainfall (1961 1995) is 897 mm. contributed mainly bysouthwest monsoon active from mid June to mid September. The area has semi aridclimate with drought frequency of 34%.

The area forms part of North Gujarat Alluvial Plain with elevations ranging from 40 to60 m MSL with southerly master slope. River Sabarmati passes through the centralpart of the area and is ephemeral.

General Information of Taluka Dehgam:

Total number of Villages = 97Total area of Taluka in Sq. Kms.= 619.50Saline area = NILFresh water area = 619.50 Sq.Kms.Hard rock area = NIL.Aluminum area = 619.50 Sq.KmsFeasibility =Deep Tubewell (D.R.)Quality of Groundwater = Potable waterGround water Balance – 76.36 MCM/ Year





Climate & Rainfall

The climate of the area is semi arid and is characterized by a hot summer and generaldryness except during the south west monsoon between the months June andSeptember. There is a meteorological observatory at Ahmedabad managed by IMD.May is the hottest month with mean daily maximum temperature of 41.3 °C and themean daily minimum temperature of 26.3 °C. The highest maximum and lowestminimum temperature recorded at Ahmedabad are 47.8 °C (1961) and 2.2 °Crespectively.

Dependable Rainfall = 897 mm = 0.897 m.Last 30 year average Rainfall = 740 mm

Hydrogeology

The district forms a part of Cambay basin and is occupied by quaternary alluviumcomprising mainly of Sand, Gravel, Silt Clay and Kankar etc. The ONGC hasestablished that the thickness of alluvium in the North Gujarat is about 700 m.However, as per the studies carried out by CGWB under UNDP Project the Mioceneformations were encountered within 611 m at the deepest borehole drilled in thedistrict at Sardhao. There is a sequence of alternating layers of granular sandy andclayey horizons, the uppermost granular zone varies in thickness from 5 to 65 m. It isunderlain by a thick clay bed followed by alternating sequence of arenaceous andargillaceous horizons. The granular horizons occurring at various depths formspotential aquifers. The aquifer system of the district is described below.

Drainage Pattern

The area has a drainage pattern which is of the parallel and trellis type and which iscontrolled by the topography and structure and tectonics of the region. All the smallstreams flow from the higher grounds and meet ultimately Meshwo River which flowfrom south to north direction to south west direction near project area. The areadrainage ultimately meets with Gulf of Khambhat.

Area has diverse landscape made up of small hills, valley, drainage flow, Platue andalluvium plain. The terrain slope is southly in the north and westernly in the south





number of major river drains the area. Due to terrain constraint, it is necessary toadopt proper soil conservation and sand water development and management practicefor w/s in sustained basis. Because of short span of monsoon season and limitedstorage capacity and rapid cut flow for hard rock aquifers, there is a need to provideground water recharge facilities to supplement its whith drawl at a time of summer.

As various components of the hydrologic system catchment runoff, base flow andground water an integrated at the level of river basins, river basin should be the unit ofgovernance and management of water resource, Such a system of governance willensure integration of physical sustainability consideration and the social economicaland environmental consideration in water resources management planning whichultimately result in good governance.

The depth of most prolific and most exploited aquifers in the district range from about50 m to more than 300 m. The depth of tubewells gradually increases from east towest. The Dug cum bore wells and shallow tubewells (<100m) are feasible in theeastern part. However, in the western part only deep tubewells are feasible. Thefeasible depth of tube wells ranges from less then 100 m in the eastern part to morethan 300 m in parts of Mansa Taluka.

PROJECT SITE





3.7 Land Use Status

Introduction

The land use & land cover map of the 10 km radius study area from the project site hasbeen prepared using Sentinel Satellite image procured from NRSC (National RemoteSensing Centre), Hyderabad. Land use pattern of the study area as well as thecatchment area was carried out by standard methods of analysis of remotely senseddata and followed by ground truth collection (Benchmark) and interpretation ofsatellite data. The outcome of land use study has been presented below in subsequenttable and figures. The data was processed through Q GIS Software tools available withESRI Package. The land use map of the 10 km study area is presented in Figure 3.15.

Land Use & Land Cover Classification Results

Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (it include grass, asphalt,trees, bare ground, water, etc.) whereas Land use is the human use of land.

Land Use involves the management and modification of natural environment orwilderness into built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements. It has alsobeen defined as the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certainland cover type to produce, change or maintain it .

There is no one ideal classification of land use and land cover, and it is unlikely thatone could ever be developed. There are different perspectives in the classificationprocess, and the process itself tends to be subjective, even when an objective numericalapproach is used.

Concepts concerning land cover and land use activity are closely related and in manycases have been used interchangeably. The purposes for which lands are being usedcommonly have associated types of cover, whether they are forest, agricultural,residential, or industrial.





The present Land use / Land cover map for the proposed project activity is preparedby current vintage of satellite image. This report thus will enable assessing the impacton land use pattern in the study area due to the proposed project activity.

(A) Data Used

Current vintage data of Indian Remote Sensing satellite sentinel image FCC (FalseColor Composite) has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land cover thematicmap of study area. Survey of India toposheet as a reference map on 1:50,000 scalehas been used for preparation of base layer data like road, rail network, villageand mine site and for geo referencing of satellite image.

Technical DetailsSatellite Image Sentinel Satellite image.Satellite Data Source NRSC, HyderabadSoftware Used Earth Resources Data Analysis System (ERDAS) Imagine andQ Gis.

(B) Methodology

Land use / Land cover map preparation, Base map creation; Geometric andRadiometric correction of satellite image has been processed using ERDASImagine Software.

Salient features of the adopted methodology are given below:Acquisition of satellite data.Preparation of base map from Survey of India toposheets.Data analysis using visual interpretation techniques.Ground truth studies or field checks.Finalization of the map.Digitization using heads up vectorisation method.Area calculation for statistics generation.





(C) Interpretation of Remote Sensing Data

Satellite images are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value thatis known as digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel thatcaptures reflectance of ground features represented in terms of Digital number,each representing specific land features. Using image classification technique, thesatellite data is converted into thematic information, map based on the user’sknowledge about the ground area. Hybrid technique has been used i.e. visualinterpretation and digital image processing for identification of different land useand vegetation cover classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature.

Spectral signature represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keysare developed based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture,pattern, shadow, association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite imagesfor ground feature. Training sites are then assigned based on their spectralsignature and interpretation elements. Using image classification algorithm landuse map is generated.

A total of seven land use/land cover classes have been demarcated in the studyarea following Level I, II and III classification (Table 3.17). A thematic map suitablefor 1:25,000 scale map generation incorporating these classified categories has beenprepared and considering that the area of the project is considerably small a largescale map is prepared (Figure 3.15). The area as a whole represents plain area withvery gentle sloping to nearly level area & to the north of area flowing from southto north and it is also observed that the major stream (Khari & Meshwo River) arelinked with these two main drainage that debouche into the Gulf of Khambhat.Medium level industrial zone covered for 1.15 sq. km., the total land area of scrubland covered 3.24 sq. km. and 261.90 sq. km. area covered under agriculture landas well as agriculture plantation 1.78 sq. km. has developed mainly in the areaadjacent to the rivers.

The adjoining area of project site is totally agricultural land including Kharif, Rabiand Summer crop, constitute the dominant category of land use covering as muchas 261.90 sq. km. of the total area. Active river canal forming the perennial water





body together with the numerous open & wastelands form a major and minor landcover category. Active river and its tributaries flowing into it cover about 5.25 sq.km. of the total project area. Due to large seasonal variation in discharge of theserivers, the area coverage of this category various in space and time. Theconsistently shifting nature of the river and consequent bank migration hasresulted in large uncultivated & rural settlement along the active plain areatowards the site location. These areas (1.23 sq. km.) are village pond andwaterbody in the development area of the project site and are located within theuncultivated land areas significant distribution. The land use for settlement ismostly confined to the ‘rural and urban settlement’ (built up rural) 12.05 sq. km.and land without scrub feature 14.06 sq. km. of the total area & as such there is nocurrent fallow land because the satellite used is of March month when most of thecrop is towards senence or maturity.

3.7.1 Topography

The topographic feature & drainage pattern of the study area have been studied fromSRTM3, 2008 data having resolution of 3 arc seconds. The toposheet have beenanalysed using QGIS application to generate the contour line at interval of 10 kmsconsidering one elevated area in the study region. Further, the digital elevation datahave been analysed to determine the slope & elevation profiles of the each individualvillages of the study area as well as whole study area to ascertain the landform of thevillages and study area.

It has been observed that the major area of study area is levelled plain to nearly levelwith small slopes. Two areas in the study region have been noticed with considerablygentle slope near Village Antroli making the landform of small slopes indicating smallplain with the elevation profile. Over all slope direction of the study area is noticedtowards south to north.

The maximum elevation and higher slope is found near northern part of Palaiya,Harakhjina Muvada and Dehgam village where a medium height is situated.

The generated streams indicated that the most of the area are covered by two mainstream i.e. Khari & Meshwo river flowing North to South

Topography of the area is characterized by dominating plain area with very gentlesloping to nearly level area.

Digital Elevation Model

Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over aspecified area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the Bare Earth . The intervalsbetween each grid points will always be referenced to some geographical coordinatesystem. This is usually either latitude longitude or UTM (Universal TransverseMercator) coordinate systems. The closer are together the grid points, more detailedinformation will be in the file. The details of the peaks and valleys in the terrain will bebetter modelled with small grid spacing than when the grid intervals are very large.Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file.





As a result peak points and valley points not coinciding with the grid will not berecorded in the file. For practical purpose this Bare Earth DEM is generallysynonymous with a Digital Terrain Model (DTM)

Data Used

DEM Data: Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) dataSoftware Used: ERDAS Imagine & Q GIS. .

Physiography and Drainage Pattern

The area of the project site is located in the Northern part of Gandhinagar District ofGujarat state. Topography of the area is characterized by very gentle sloping area tolevel to nearly level. A Seasonal river i.e. Khari & Meshwo drains through the studyarea and merges into Gulf of Khambhat.

3.8 Ecology & Biodiversity

In order to understand the status of biodiversity (flora and fauna) in different habitats inand around the Happiness Pharmaceuticals Ltd. project area, the field work was carriedout during March 2017.

3.8.1 Macro Level Approach Secondary Data Collection

After first consultation with client we had discussed with our team andstanderdised our approach for each component of project including biodiversityand ecological status of project and its environs sites.We received all site specific information including maps, toposheets, projectrelated documents etc. from client. In addition, we had also discussed with localresource government and non government organization and collected informationon ecological status of project sites.Collection and collation of project related secondary information.Rapid survey of the project area to identify existing major habitat types within it(Wilderness area: in and around the riverine areas of Meshwo, Devkaran NaMuvada etc.; Agriculture: Lavad, Palundra , etc., Wasteland: within study area andWetlands, i.e., Village ponds, reservoirs and riverine i.e. Meshwo rivers and smallrivulets).

3.8.2 Micro Level Approach Field Data Collection

After various meeting with project authority and EIA consultant, we finalized ourfield level approach and methodology for collection of primary data onbiodiversity components including floristic and faunal survey.This fileld approach involved mainly the survey based primary data collection onvarious biodiversity components of the project objectives.The field data collection mainly included biodiversity assessment of different lifeforms of floral species such as; trees, shrubs & climbers, herbs and grass. Faunaldiversity was also assessed by inventorying the major group like herpetofauna,birds and mammals.For biodiversity assessment we followed standered methods for each componentlike for plants survey, we laid a plots at various site specific habitat and





paramulated method also been employed to document each plant species withtheir phynological details if any and other important details like collectedmedicinal value of selected plant species from local villagers, associated habitat,local name etc.While, for faunal species survey, we followed total count method for aquaticspecies (Bhupathy 1991) and point counted survey (Bibby et al., 1992) employed tosurvey terrestrial species.In case of herpetofauna, method suggested by Welsh (1987) been employed andintensive time constrained search been employed for each dominant habitat.Daniels (1992) and Burnham et al., (1980) methods have been followed to searchmammalian species through direct count and indirect count, respectively.In addition, published and un published review on various faunal componentsand various suggected site specific and species specific methods also beenemployed to document overall status of fauna in and around the project sites.The floral & faunal diversity varies with the season. The data was collected in oneseason however, in order to obtain the seasonal variations, the data published bythe Forest Department, Govt. of Gujarat was collected.

3.8.2.1 Floral Status

Status of floral diversity was assessed in representative habitats of each type like;wastelands which include: open scrub forest and Prosopis Juliflora mixed thickets,semi wilderness area, agricultural hedge, near human habitation, plantation, streamand river beds and wetlands (inland).

3.8.2.2 Faunal Status

Herpetofauna

Status of herpetofauna was assessed using Intensive Time Constrained Search Methodcovering different micro habitats (Welsh, 1987, Welsh and Lind 1991). This intensivesearch was made in different habitat types randomly selected.





Birds

Avifaunal status was assessed both in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Total count orflock count method was adopted to assess the status of aquatic birds in the existingwater bodies (Sridharan 1989 and Bhupathy 1991). Point count method was used toassess the status of terrestrial birds (Bibby et al., 1992 and Hutto et al., 1986). Thesecond technique adopted was area search method (Dieni and Jones 2002), a time areaconstrained survey technique that has been widely and commonly used in several birdmonitoring programs.

Mammals

Status and distribution of different mammal species was quantified using Direct countVehicle transects (travelling between the sampling location) (Burnham et al. 1980) andindirect evidences within the survey areas (Rodgers 1988 and Sale and Berkmuller,1988). Indirect evidences like, Pellet, dung, tracks (Thommpson et al 1989, Allen et al1996), scat count (Henke and knowlton 1995) and other signs were enumerated usingstandered method for nocturnal species (Daniels 1992). Presence of different faunalspecies was also substantiated by interviewing the local people and experts withpictorial representation.

C. Status of Mammals

As discussed with local people, within buffer zone only seven species ofmammalian fauna was reported and each belongs to separate family/group.None of the family reported more than one species and showed low speciesrichness (Table 3.25). Since the study area dominated by agriculture habitat,mammalian fauna showed low species richness.

3.8.4 Conclusion

This study reported a total of 136 plant species, 7 herpetofauna, 38 birds and 6species of mamamals from the buffer zone of M/s. Happiness PharmaceuticalsLtd.. However, no threatened biodiversity reported with highest density orrichness from the core and buffer zones of the study area.

No true multi species forest type was recorded in the vicinity of the 10kilometer radius in and around the project site. It clearly indicates the lowproductive potential of the terrestrial ecosystem.

Since the project associated activities do not required any additional land, theterrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related impacts.

In addition, all the terrestrial systems are dominated by resident species.Common mammalian species like Jackal, Nilgai, Hanuman Langoor and WildBoar were more abundant close to the project sites.





3.9 Socio Economic Environment

3.9.1 Introduction

Any developmental activity will influence the socioeconomic conditions of thepopulation in the region and thus the Quality of Life (QOL). Socioeconomic survey isnecessary in EIA/EMP report preparation to predict the changes on social andeconomic status. Hence baseline data for demographic characteristics, education,health, amenities and sensitive locations existing in and around the project area havebeen studied in the study area. For the study of socioeconomics 10 km radius aroundthe site is selected.

The study area is mostly agricultural land. The major language is Gujarati, Hindi andEnglish with an accumulation of different cultures like the Hindus, Muslims and theChristians. It is the centre of Gujarati cultural activities and diverse traditions ofdifferent ethnic and religious communities

3.9.3 Households

A household is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take theirmeals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them





from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both.However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take theirmeals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a commonhousehold. Each such person was to be treated as separate households. Theimportant link is finding out whether it was a household or not was a commonkitchen. There may be one member households, two member households or multimember households.

There are nearly 77,852 House Holds (HH) found in the study area. The details ofHouseholds are given in Table 3.27.

3.9.4 Population

Village/ town wise population composition as per 2011 census is listed in Table 3.27.The total population of villages covered in 10 km radius is 3,90,586. The male &female population is 2,00,204 (51.3%) and 1,90,382 (48.7%) respectively.

The summarized data of population distribution is given in Table 3.27 andrepresented in Figure 3.21.

3.9.5 Occupational Structure

Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with orwithout compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/ormental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effectivesupervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work onfarm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged inwork as defined above are workers. Persons who are engaged in cultivation or milkproduction even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers.Occupational structure is divided in to 3 categories viz., Main workers, Marginalworkers and Non workers.

The distribution data for workers and non workers is given in Table 3.28 and Figure3.22.





Main workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the referenceperiod (i.e., 6 months or more) are termed as Main Workers. There are total 1,30,629main workers in this area.

Marginal workers: Those workers who have not worked for the major part of thereference period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as marginal workers. The totalmarginal workers are 29,565.

Non workers: All workers, i.e., those who have been engaged in some economicactivity during the last one year, but are not cultivators or agricultural laborers or inHousehold Industry, are Other Workers (OW) . The type of workers that come underthis category of OW include all government servants, municipal employees,teachers, factory workers, plantation workers, those engaged in trade, commerce,business, transport banking, mining, construction, political or social work, priests,entertainment artists, etc. In effect, all those workers other than cultivators oragricultural laborers or household industry workers are other workers. The total nonworkers are 2,30,392.

3.9.8 Conclusion

The socio economic studies has been conducted in order to study the present SocioEconomic conditions prevailing around the plant site for the establishment of aninteractive environment between the residents of the area with the proponent whichwould be helpful for the proponent for the assessment of the required developments ofthe area.

This study was done by looking and maintaining a good understanding of that localityas well as their socio economic status which can help in the assessment of their SocioEconomic status, costumes, and requirements for the development etc. Based on thestudy carried out it can be interpreted that proposed project would contribute toimprovement in the Quality Of Life (QOL) in the region to some extent in followingmanner.





Industrial growth will improve economic status of the people either directly orindirectly.Creation of employment generation is an another positive impact anticipated fromthis plantThe development of infrastructure (roads, lighting etc.) may not only helpful fortransportation but also to improve aesthetic value of the site.The proposed green belt plan also generates some employment (labor forplantation development) and provide hygienic environment.Non workers comprises of 59% of the total population in the study area. Thisintense unemployment fate can be reduced to some extent.





3.10 Traffic Survey

Traffic counts are important to calculate the existing and proposed load on the existing

road due to upcoming Project.

Project site is to be located near to Lavad Sampa Road which further connect to

Dahegam – Bayad Highway (State Highway 69). The industry will utilize the stated

Dahegam – Bayad Highway for transportation purpose. Thus, traffic survey has been

carried out on above stated highway. Studied route is shown in below given figure:

Figure 3.24: Image showing Traffic Surveying Location

Dahegam – Bayad Highway (State Highway 69)

Details regarding the traffic survey are:

Traffic counts were collected and recorded in 4 hours intervals.

Morning period (pick hours) survey was carried out from 10.00 to 14.00 hrs.

Evening period (pick hours) survey was carried out from 16:00 to 20:00 hrs.

Chapter-4: Env. Impacts & Mitigation Measures 4.1

CHAPTER - 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS &

MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Preamble

The most important part of Environmental Impact Assessment Report is theprediction of impacts. Several scientific techniques and methodologies areavailable to predict impacts of project developmental activities onenvironment. Such predictions are overlaid on the baseline status ofenvironmental quality to derive the ultimate scenario of environmentalconditions. It helps to prepare the Environmental Management Plan (EMP)which is required to be executed during the on going activities for theproposed project to minimize the adverse impacts on environmentalquality.

The mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe thecause effect relationships between sources of pollution and differentcomponents of environment. In case, mathematical models are not availableor it is not possible to identify/validate a model for a particular situation,predictions could be made through available scientific knowledge andjudgments. The environmental impacts can be categorized as either Primaryor Secondary or Tertiary. Primary impacts are those, which are linkeddirectly to the project, secondary and tertiary impacts are those, which areindirectly induced and typically include the effects on social and economicpatterns of the surrounding.

The proposed project would create impact on the environment in twodistinct phases.

Temporary or short term effects caused during construction phaseLong term effects caused during operational phase

Environmental Impact Assessment Study for the proposed project includes:Identification of all components of the project and prediction of impactsthat may be caused by the proposed project





Classification of the probable impacts i.e. positive or negative, reversibleor irreversible, short term or long term.

Evaluation of the impacts i.e. quantitative & qualitative assessment ofthe impacts

The construction and operational phase of the proposed project comprisesof various activities each of which may have an impact on some or otherenvironmental components, which have been studied to estimate the impacton the environment.

4.2 Prediction and Evaluation of Impacts

An impact can be defined as any change in Physical, Chemical, Biological,Cultural and Socio economic environment that can be attributed to activitiesrelated to alternatives under study for meeting the project needs. Impactassessments provide an organized approach for prediction and assessingthese impacts. In most of cases, the prediction consists of indicating merelywhether there will be degradation, no change or enhancement ofenvironment quality. In other cases, quantitative ranking scales are to beused.

Prediction requires scientific skill drawn from many disciplines. Predictionof ecological components is often uncertain, because their response toenvironmental stress cannot be predicted in absolute terms. Scientifictechniques and methodologies based on mathematical modeling areavailable for studying impacts of various project activities on environmentalparameters.

The impact of the proposed project on the environment has been consideredbased on the information provided by the proponents and data collectedfrom the study area during study period. The environmental impacts havebeen categorized as long or short term and negative or positive. Primaryimpacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project onenvironmental components while secondary impacts are those, which areindirectly induced. The operational phase of the proposed project comprisesseveral of which have been considered to assess the impact on one oranother environmental parameters.





The nature of the impacts due to said project activities are discussed indetail. Each parameter identified is singularly considered for the anticipatedimpact due to various project activities. The impact is quantified usingnumerical scores. In order to assess the impact accurately, each parameter isdiscussed in detail covering project activities likely to generate impact andquantification and prediction of impact.

A. Construction Phase

Generally construction phase involves activities like Site Cleaning,Excavation, Construction, Installation of Plant Machinery, Raw MaterialTransportation and Handling, Greenbelt Development and LabourEmployment. Green belt development is proposed to be taken up at theinitial stage and hence it has been considered in this phase.

Minor and temporary impacts are expected due to the constructionactivities. Generally, Air, Noise level and Soil are likely to be affected bythese activities. All the impacts of construction phase will be short term onlyand it is very limited as minor construction work is anticipated forrequirement of project.

B. Operational Phase

Generally operation phase involves activities like Raw Material Storage &Handling & Transportation, Production Activity, Product Storage, Handling& Transportation, Gaseous Emission, Water Consumption & WastewaterDischarge, Solid & Hazardous Waste Generation, Labour Employment,Infrastructure Development and Greenbelt Development.

This phase of project is important as it generates long term impact as theproduction starts. The primary impact causing likely deterioration will beon Air, Water, Noise, Soil and Flora – Fauna due to Air Emission, WaterConsumption & Wastewater Generation, Solid/Hazardous WasteGeneration, Noise Generation and Transportation.





4.3 Impact Identification

The impacts of project activities on environment may be numerous whichmay be significant and non significant according to the magnitude ofimpacts. From impact assessment point of view through all impacts areimportant however, we need to take care of significant impacts, in particularto adverse changes, if any from project activities. Identification of significantenvironmental impact is essential in the preparation of EIA report, anattempt has been made here through the use of Activity Effect matrix.

Impact Identification Matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1 (for constructionand operation phase of proposed project). Various activities belonging toindustrial project have been grouped and arranged in rows. Theenvironmental factors, which are being potentially impacted, have beenarranged in columns. A preliminary scrutiny has been done and the cells,which fall at the junction of the “Activity” and “Factor” that have possibleinteraction with each other, have been crossed.

Sulfur Dioxide 0.08 g/sec

Nitrogen Dioxide 0.56 g/sec





B. Primary Meteorological Data:

Primary meteorological data have been used for AERMOD View 9.0.0. The saidprimary data is attached as Annexure 3.

Assessment of Impact on AAQ:

The AERMOD model is used to predict the centerline ground level concentrationsof Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide in the surroundingstudy area. The prediction is done in relation to the source strength andmeteorological conditions for the study period.

The Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) for Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxideand Nitrogen Dioxide in the study area for all the stability conditions are calculatedfor the maximum emission load. For the calculations, meteorological data likeaverage wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, temperature, precipitation,cloud cover and ceiling height for the period of 22/09/2017 to 23/12/2017 andemission rate of PM10, SO2 & NO2 and height & diameter of the stack is considered.

Predicted ground level concentrations of PM10, SO2 and NO2 are presented in theFigure 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and Table 4.8, 4.9 & 4.10.

4.7 Mitigation Measures for Impacts on Environment duringConstruction Phase

During construction phase, major impacts anticipated will be increase in dustcontamination and noise. However, these impacts will be localised andlimited up to construction period only. Impacts during construction phase andits mitigative measures are given in Table 4.11.

Table 4.11: Construction Phase: Impacts & its Mitigation Measures

Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation MeasuresLand Use Any construction activity brings significant change to the site topsoil.

Excavation and construction material waste disposal is likely to affectland. However, such solid wastes are inert in nature and will becollected and utilized in greenbelt development, filling of low lyingareas within the premises of proposed plant and road construction atthe site.

WaterQuality

During construction phase, quantity of waste water generated will bevery less and the same will be disposed off through septic tank /soakpit system.

AirQuality

The main sources of emission during the construction period are themovement of construction equipment at site and dust emitted duringthe levelling grading, earthwork and foundation works. Exhaustemission from vehicles and equipment deployed during theconstruction phase is also likely to result in marginal increase in thelevels of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 & CO.

The impact will be for short duration. This will be confined within theproject boundary and is expected to be negligible outside the projectboundary. The impact will, however, be reversible, marginal andtemporary in nature. Proper maintenance of vehicles and constructionequipment will help in controlling the gaseous emissions. Watersprinkling on roads and construction site will prevent fugitive dust.Project site will be barricaded by the help of tarpaulinsheets/barriers/curtains during construction phase.





Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation MeasuresNoise During construction, construction equipment, including dozer,

scrapers, concrete mixers, generators, vibrators and power tools, andvehicles will be the major noise sources. Construction noise is difficultto predict because the level of activity will constantly change. Most ofconstruction activities are expected to produce noise level within theprescribed limit. The noise generated from various sources will be ofshort duration. Therefore, no significant impact is envisaged in theconstruction phase.

GeoHydrology

During construction phase, the water requirement will be met throughWater Tankers. Therefore, there will be no significant impact ongroundwater. Drainage pattern of the project area will not beabstracted due to establishment of the project on stated land so, therewill be no significant impact on surrounding drainage.

Geology &Soil

During construction activity, the impact on soil will be limited to theconstruction site only. Impact on soil during construction would bemainly due to the left out of construction material used and change insoil structure and texture due to spillage & leakage of fuel will occur.Hence, proper care would be taken so that minimum amount of wasteis produced and most of it gets recycled. The topsoil removed duringthe levelling will be stacked separately and will be used for levelling ofproject site as well as for greenbelt development. During constructionphase, change in soil structure and texture due to spillage & leakage offuel will occur.

Ecologyand

Biodiversity

Various construction activities will be carried out on site for setting upof the project. Greenbelt has been developed to improve the aestheticvalue in the area and to reduce the fugitive dust. However, suchimpacts will be confined to the project site and will be minimizedthrough water sprinkling. Hence there will be insignificant impact onthe ecology.





4.8 Mitigation Measures for Impacts on Environment duringOperational Phase

Impacts during operation phase and its mitigative measures are given inTable 4.12.

Table 4.12: Operation Phase: Impacts & its Mitigation Measures

Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation MeasuresLandUse

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid wastepollution on soil causes direct/indirect effect on soil. As all necessary airpollution control steps will be provided and based on the results of thedispersion model for the ground level concentrations of variouspollutants after the commissioning of the proposed activity, there willnot be any adverse impact on soil.

There will be no adverse effect of wastewater on soil since the treatedeffluent emanating from the ETP will be evaporated in an evaporator.Hence, no wastewater will be discharged from the unit.

All necessary control steps/measures will be provided for handling,storage and disposal of solid/ hazardous waste generated. Industry hasalso developed dense greenbelt within the premises which not onlyincrease the aesthetic of that area but also prevent soil erosion whichmay change the landuse pattern of that area. Thus, there will not be anysignificant impact on land environment.

WaterQuality

Water requirement is to be met from Own Borewell.

Domestic wastewater generated will be disposed off through septic tank/soak pit system. The final treated industrial effluent from effluenttreatment plant will be evaporated in an evaporator. Therefore noeffluent will be required to be discharged and the stated process wouldbe a ZERO DISCHARGE process.

Three will be provision of Rain Water Harvesting structure to capturerain water during monsoon and reuse the same in project activities.

Thus, there will not be any adverse impact on the quantity and qualityof ground water as well surface water during operation phase.





Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation MeasuresAir

QualityThe operational activities are usually expected to have long termimpacts on air quality. The major source of air pollution due toproposed project activity will be flue gas emissions from the boiler. Thefugitive emissions of particulate matter & VOCs will likely to ariseduring various stages of operations such as material unloading, materialtransfer and storage etc. The concentrations of pollutants at the groundlevels have been computed using computer simulation model to assessthe impact of emissions for the proposed activity. Impacts of emissionson air quality have been evaluated using dispersion model (AERMOD

VIEW – 9.0.0) which are described in Section 4.6 of this Chapter.

Multi Cyclone Separator will be provided to the stack attached to Boileras an Air Pollution Control System where Agro waste Briquettes shouldonly be used as fuel. Diesel should only be used as fuel for D.G. Set.Adequate stack height will be provided to control & disperse the airpollutants within the stipulated norms. The unit will develop green beltarea within the factory premises to control the fugitive emissions fromspreading into surrounding environment. Unit will install portabledetection system for VOCs in the process area. Turbo jet ventilators willbe installed on the roof top of the industrial shed area. In addition, unitshould carry out regular work place monitoring. Thus, there will not beany significant impact on air environment.

Noise The specifications for procuring major noise generatingmachines/equipment shall include built in design requirements to haveminimum noise levels meeting Occupational Safety and HealthAssociation (OSHA) requirement. Appropriate noise barriers/shields,silencers etc. shall be provided in the equipment wherever feasible.Noise emanating from noisy equipment shall be adequately attenuatedby enclosure, insulation etc.

GeoHydrology

There should be proper collection and handling of effluent to avoid anyleakages and spillages. It is recommended to provide pucca flooring inthe process area as well as in chemical storage area. Chemical storagearea is to be provided with dyke wall to control or stop the effluentdischarge on land which may contaminate soil. Industry should explorethe possibility of reuse/recycle and other cleaner production options forreduction of waste and to conserve fresh water.





Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation MeasuresSpecific mitigation as the creation of sediment retention basins orplanting of rapidly growing vegetation to improve the moist conditionof soil and control soil erosion. To perform rain water harvesting systemfor ground water recharge purpose as it is simple, economical and ecofriendly. It reduce run off ground water pollution and soil erosion.

Geology &Soil

Most of the impacts of the proposed project on soils are restricted to theconstruction phase, which will get stabilized during operational phase.The impact on the topsoil will be confined to the proposed main projectarea. There are minimal chances that air borne fugitive dust from theproject may likely get deposited in the immediate vicinity. However, theflue gas emissions will be controlled by an effective dust extraction andsuppression system and source emission by installing highly efficientbag filter/ other pollution control facilities at suitable locations.

The storage and handling of raw materials shall be done properly toprevent any spillage & leakage. Hazardous wastes will be stored atearmarked area with impervious flooring, shed and spillage/leakagecollection system to eliminate rainwater contamination, chances ofoverflow / spillages going on to the land and thus land/ soilcontamination. The hazardous waste generated during the operationphase, will properly disposed so that there is no spill and contaminationof land. The hazardous waste will be sent for disposal to authorizedTSDF/CHWIF on regular basis as per the Hazardous Waste Rules.

Ecologyand

Biodiversity

There is no any sanctuary and national park within the 10 km area fromthe proposed project site. Also no rare and endangered flora and faunahave been reported during study in 10 km area surrounding to theproject site. Proposed project will be carried out in open land and novegetation will be required to be cleared.

The chances of adverse effect on ecology due to the proposed projectmay occur due to air pollution caused by process and flue gasesemissions. However, unit has proposed adequate environmentalmanagement systems and the same will be efficiently operated duringthe operation of project. Regular monitoring of various parameters willbe carried out. Thus, there will not be any adverse impact anticipated onsurrounding ecology due to the proposed project. On the contrary,





Attributes Impacts and its Mitigation Measuresgreenbelt development will help in containing any emissions and havepositive impact on the surrounding flora and fauna.

SocioEconomic

The proposed project activity will be benefitted by direct & indirectemployment leading to better lifestyle. Standard of living of populationsurrounding the project is likely to be improved as proposed project willgenerate employment for local people of the nearby area. Educational,medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerablyimprove.

No rehabilitation or land acquisition is needed for this industry. Thisproject is not expected to generate any significant public controversy.

Unit will carry out CSR activities in the nearby area in the field ofhealth, sanitation, medical aids, educational aid and contribution ininfrastructural development which will have beneficial impacts onsocio economic environment and would contribute to improvement inQuality Of Life (QOL) in the region to some extent.

Health &Safety

Likely impacts on health and safety could be mainly on the shop floorworkers due to the operation of project activities like processing,storage, and transport facilities. However, the industry has incorporatedall the necessary safety aspects in planning, designing and operation ofthe plant as per standard practices. Hence, there will be minimal impacton this account.

In the proposed unit, drinking water and sanitation facilities will beprovided to workers. All the necessary personal protective equipment(PPE) will be provided for the respective works. Unit will provide sucharrangements to minimize manual handling of chemicals andhazardous wastes. Wherever possible, the automatic chemical transfersystems will be provided to avoid any leakage during hazardousmaterial transfer. Regular health check ups will be carried out for allworkers and record will be maintained. Medical, fire and safetytrainings will be given time to time. Moreover, unit will provide properenvironmental management system and operate the same efficiently.Thus, there will not be any possibility of adverse impact on workershealth. Thus, no significant impact on health and safety will be occurreddue to the proposed project activity.





4.9 Existing Traffic & Vehicular Pollution

Traffic survey has been carried out on Dahegam – Bayad Highway (StateHighway 69). Based on the traffic survey hourly vehicular traffic has beencalculated. Considering worst case scenario, average number of vehiclesobserved during 4 hours has been taken as hourly counts. Passenger CarUnit (PCU) has been calculated by applying PCU factor. Proposed load oftrucks due to the movement of raw materials, fuel and products has beencalculated. A design capacity of road has been taken from the Indian RoadCongress. Assessment of proposed traffic load is given below in Table 4.13.

From the table below, it can be concluded that even for considering the worstcase; there will be minor increase in vehicular load due to the proposedproject. However, the total traffic load even after the proposed project will bevery low compared to the design capacity of roads. Adequate parkingarrangements will be provided within the industrial premises.

As no major increase in traffic due to the proposed project, there will be lesschance of increase in vehicular pollution. However, unit will take adequatemeasures by instructing transporter for using only PUC certifiedtrucks/vehicles and carrying out regular service and maintenance of them.

Chapter 6: Environmental Monitoring Program6.1

CHAPTER – 6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

6.1 Introduction

Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need totake place to characterise and monitor the quality of the environment.Environmental monitoring is an important step for conducting EnvironmentalImpact Assessment as well as in many circumstances in which humanactivities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. Allmonitoring strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which areoften designed to establish the current status of an environment or to establishtrends in environmental parameters. In all cases the results of monitoring willbe reviewed and analysed statistically.

Environmental monitoring program is designed to understand how theenvironmental changes over the time. Therefore, regular monitoring programof the environmental parameters is essential to take into account the changesin the environment. The objectives of environmental monitoring program are;

1. To verify the results of the impact assessment study in particular withregard to new development;

2. To follow the trend of parameters which have been identified as critical;3. To check or assess the efficiency of the pollution control measures;4. To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact

assessment study, do not become critical through the commissioning ofnew installations;

5. To check assumption made with regard to the development and to detectdeviations in order to initiate necessary measures; and

6. To establish a database for future Impact Assessment Studies for newprojects.

Post project environmental monitoring programme will be conducted forvarious environmental components as per the conditions stipulated inEnvironmental Clearance letter issued by MoEF&CC, New Delhi & Consent






to Establish / Consent to Operate issued by GPCB. Six monthly compliancereports will be submitted on regular basis to MoEF&CC, New Delhi.Compliance Report for conditions stipulated in Consent to operate will besubmitted to GPCB on regular basis. Various environmental components andpollution sources, which will be monitored under environmental monitoringprogramme are stack emission, ambient air quality, water quality and noiselevels.

6.2 Environmental Monitoring Program

The various environmental components and pollution sources which wouldbe monitored under environmental monitoring programme includes stackemission, ambient air quality, liquid effluent, soil, noise levels andmeteorological data. Monitoring/sampling and analysis/measurement ofvarious environmental parameters will be carried out as pernational/international standard methods (IS/APHA/validated method).Details of the post project Environmental Monitoring programme whichwould be undertaken for various environmental components, listed in Table6.1.

All the data and reports of monitoring of all parameters as stated inmonitoring program will be properly maintained and timely reviewed bymanagement for taking corrective or preventive actions. Monitoring reportswill be regularly submitted to the concerned authorities as per theirrequirements.

It may be noted that the proposed projectis to be established on Non Agricultural land. The project site is intended for theindustrial purpose and thus no displacement of villagers/people will take place.Therefore, the R&R (Rehabilitation & Resettlement) policy/plan is not requiredand not undertaken. However, the direct financial and social benefits with specialemphasis on the benefit to the local people will be preferred and the proposedbudgets for Corporate Environment Responsibility (CER) activities aresummarized in Chapter 8 /Section 8.5.






7.1 Risk Assessment

7.1.1 Overview of Project

M/s. Happiness Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is proposing to manufacture Liquid CholineChloride (75 %) at Survey No.: 1288, Village: Lavad, Taluka: Dehgam, District:Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The total production capacity of proposed unit for LiquidCholine Chloride (75 %) is 300 MT/Month. Total land area is 13,028 m2.

The total estimated cost of the proposed project is Rs. 3 Crores. Total budgetallocation towards Environmental Management Facilities will be approx. Rs. 20Lakhs. Major plant machinery to be installed are storage tanks, reactors (MOC:MS), utilities which includes Steam and Cooling Towers. Hazardous chemicals aremainly Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Tri Methyl Amine (TMA).

7.2 Surrounding Area

The proposed site is located at Survey No.: 1288, Village: Lavad, Taluka: Dehgam,District: Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Co ordinates of the proposed project site are:Latitude: 23°10 6.66 N and Longitude: 72°52 31.20 E. Nearest village is Lavadwhich is about 1.6 km far from the project site in South direction. State HighwaySH 69 is approx. 1.6 km away in North direction from the project site.

7.2.1 Objective and Scope

Risk Assessment is used for determining the risk of chemicals in use, handling,transport and storage of dangerous substances. QRAs are done if dangeroussubstances are thought to be present at a location (e.g. industrial sites andtransportation routes) in amounts that can endanger the environment. Due tostorage risk posed to people who work inside or live near hazardous facilities, andto aid in preparing effective emergency response plans by delineating a DisasterManagement Plan (DMP) to handle onsite and offsite emergencies.

Scope of the Study:Hazard Identification Identifying sources of accidents involving release ofhazardous material in the atmosphere and the various ways (that is scenarios)






they could occur.Consequence Assessment Estimating the probable zone of impact ofaccidents as well as the scale and/or probability of damages with respect tohuman beings and plant equipment and other structures.Accident Frequency Assessment Computation of the average likelihood ofaccidents.

7.2.2 Risk Analysis Methodology

Information on Location, Layout, Process ParametersHazard IdentificationQuantification of HazardsSelect Most Credible Scenario which can be converted into an accident out ofseveral major and minor.Select Worst Case Scenario which has the highest potential to cause anaccident of maximum damageEstimate Consequences: in the plant in the form of fire, explosion and toxiceffectsEstimate Frequency of OccurrenceEstimate Effect of Damage

7.3 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

The hazard identification and risk analysis is used to identify possible accidentsand estimate their frequency and consequences. While identifying hazards onlythose areas of plants having potential risk are used further for risk analysis.Hazard is considered as characteristic of system/plant/process that presentspotential for an accident. Hence, all the components of a system/plant/process arethoroughly examined to assess their potential for initiating or propagating anunplanned event/sequence of events, which can be termed as an accident.

7.3.1 Hazard Identification Methods

Hazard identification method used or the proposed plant is given below.

Identification of major hazardous units based on Manufacture, Storage and






Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989 of Government of India (asamended in 2000); andPreliminary Process Hazard Analysis: Hazard associated with raw materials,intermediates, final products, plant equipment.

7.3.2 Identification of Hazardous Chemicals used within Premises

Following chemicals to be stored and utilized within the premises falls underManufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989 (asamended in 2000). List of Hazardous Chemicals is given below.

Amongst the below described raw materials and products, some are thehazardous chemicals as per the MSIHC Rules, 2000. Chemical and physicalproperties of raw materials are given in Table 7.1.

7.3.4 Credible Accident Sources/ Worst Case Scenarios

Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) scenario indicates most believable,reasonable, likely or possible accident scenario and damage distance based onit. MCA scenario takes into account the effect of existing control measuresalso. It considers the malfunctioning of the control system, opening of safetyvalve/failure of safety valve, leakages from flange joint, pipe line etc. andfailing of some safety devise.

Worst case scenario (rarely possible) is defined as the release of the largestquantity of a regulated substance from a single vessel or process line failurethat results in the greatest distance to an end point, e.g. catastrophic failure. Itconsiders the failure of all control systems and release of the whole massresulting in maximum damage.

Based on the storage and properties of the chemicals at the proposed resinmanufacturing unit, the some typical scenarios relevant for MCA analysis isgiven in the following Table.

7.4 Consequence Modeling

Hazardous incidents start with a discharge of a flammable or toxic materialfrom its normal containment. Discharge can take place from a crack or fractureof process vessels or pipe work, an open valve or from an emergency vent.The release may be in the form of gas, liquid, or two phase flashing of gasliquid.






7.4.1 Damage Criteria

The storage and unloading at the storage facility may lead to fire andexplosion hazards. The damage criteria due to an accidental release of anyhydrocarbon arise from fire and explosion.

A. Fire Damage

Table 7.6 tabulates the damage effect on equipment and people due tothermal radiation intensity whereas; the effect of incident radiation intensityand exposure time on lethality is given in Table 7.6.

Table 7.6: Damage Due to Incident Radiation Intensities

Sr.No.

B. Damage due to explosion

Explosion is a sudden and violent release of energy accompanied by thegeneration of pressure wave and a loud noise. The rate of energy release is verylarge and has potential to cause injury to the people, damage the plant andnearby property etc.

BLEVE fireball

A Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) occurs when there is asudden loss of containment of a pressure vessel containing a superheated liquidor liquefied gas. It is sudden release of large mass of pressurized superheatedliquid to atmosphere. The primary cause may be external flame impinging onthe shell above liquid level weakening the vessel and leading to shell rupture.Calculations are done for diameter and duration offer ball and the incidentthermal flux.






Pool Fires and Jet Fires

Pool fires and jet fires are common fire types resulting from fires over pools ofliquid or from pressurized releases or gas and/or liquid. They tend to belocalized in effect and are mainly of concern in establishing potential for dominoeffects and employee safety. ALOHA Models are used to calculate variouscomponents burning rate, pool size, and flame height, in jet fire modeling thesteps followed for the thermal effects are calculation of the estimated dischargerate, total heat released, radiant fraction/source view fraction, transmissivity andthermal flux and thermal effects.

Vapor Cloud Explosion

When gaseous flammable material is released a vapor cloud forms and if it isignited before it is diluted below its lower explosive limit, a vapor cloudexplosion or a flash fire will occur. Insignificant level of confinement will resultin flash fire. The vapor cloud explosion will result in over pressures. Table 7.6tabulates the damage criteria as a result of peak over pressure of a pressurewave on structures and people.

5 8 100% lethality 0.3 Heavy(90% damage)

3.5 –5 50% lethality 0.1 Repairable (10% damage)

2 3 Threshold lethality 0.03 Damage of Glass

1.33 2 Severe lung damage 0.01 Crack of Windows

1 11/3 50% Ear drum rupture

Source: Marshall, V.C. (1977) How lethal are explosives and toxic escapes .

C. Effect due to toxic gas release

Various approaches are used to determine the consequences of toxic gases:• IDLH• ERPG






IDLH (“Immediate Danger to Life or Health”) is the maximum concentrationfrom which escape is possible within 30 minutes without any escape impairingsymptoms or irreversible health effects.

7.4.2 Details of Model Used for Consequence Analysis

ALOHA provide output as amount of chemical discharged from the source aswell as its concentration in air it takes into account different levels ofconcentrations for a specified chemical.

Software used for calculation is ALOHA (AREAL LOCATIONS OFHAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES) which is a computer program designedespecially for use by people responding to chemical accidents, as well as foremergency planning and training. ALOHA can predict the rates at whichchemical vapors may escape into the atmosphere from broken gas pipes, leakingtanks and evaporating puddles. It can then predict how a hazardous gas cloudmight disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release.

ALOHA provides output as amount of chemical discharged from the source aswell as its concentration in air it takes in to account different levels ofconcentrations for a specified chemical. Different concentration levels are givenbelow:

ERPG 1: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed thatnearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencingother than mild transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined,objectionable odor.

ERPG 2: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed thatnearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing ordeveloping irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms which couldimpair an individual s ability to take protective action.

ERPG 3: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed thatnearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing ordeveloping life threatening health effects.






IDLH: The Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) level. A chemical sIDLH is an estimate of the maximum concentration in the air to which a healthyworker could be exposed without suffering permanent or escape impairinghealth effects.

Input data for ALOHA are as below:

Weather Data:Average Wind Speed: 5 m/sec & 1.5 m/secAverage Ambient Temperature: 400C, 220CAverage Humidity: 44%, 66%Atmosphere Stability Class: D (windy day time), F (Extreme calm, night time)

Chemical Properties:Chemical properties of each hazardous chemical stored within premises are given inTable No.: 7.1.

Storage Details:Storage quantity and type of storage of chemicals is given in Table No.: 7.2.

7.5 Failure Frequency

Fire under a tank may lead to the instantaneous release of the completeinventory of the tank. Various causes of failure may lead to a fire under a tank:

Leakage of the connections under the tank followed by ignition. Thisevent only occurs for tanks loaded with flammable substances. Thefrequency is equal to 1 × 10 5 per year for atmospheric tanks. (ReferencePurple Book: Guidelines For Quantitative Risk Assessment, 2005)

The best available estimates of leak frequencies for atmospheric tanks aresummarised in Table 7.10.

Reference: Storage incident frequencies International Association of Oiland Gas Producers (UK: HSE)

All the threat zones in the proposed unit are super imposed on Google image.Figure 7.1 and 7.10 shows the map of vulnerable areas corresponding todifferent individual outcome cases. Figure 7.4 gives the location, whereindividual risk is found to be a maximum at locations within premises. Abroadly acceptable level of individual risk as per the ALARP (AS LOW ASREASONABLY PRACTICABLE) concept of HSE, UK is 10 6/year.

7.7 Summary

It may be noted that in dispersion modeling, the wind direction and airtemperature, atmospheric stability are found to be the deciding factors for thethreat zones.

The present risk assessment study shows that proposed unit of M/s.Happiness Pharmaceuticals Ltd. having storages of hazardous chemicalsmainly Ethylene Oxide and Tri Methyl Amine could have potential fordamage to those inside and outside the industry. Workers working withinpremises of industry as well as of adjoining small unit may affect in case ofaccidental leakages from Ethylene oxide storage tank.

Fire modeling shows that the hazardous distances for Ethylene Oxide andTri Methyl Amine storage tank extended up to 111 meters in worst case






scenario, In case of pool fire it is within 36 meters which might preventeffective fire fighting arrangements to be provided .

A maximum threat zone of approximately 2.2 kilometers is observed inthe case of release of Ethylene Oxide. This threat zone can be shortened byreducing the inventory or storing Ethylene Oxide in smaller tanks.

Chapter-10: Environmental Management Plan 10.1

CHAPTER - 10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 Introduction

To formulate and monitor Environmental Protection measures during andafter commissioning of project, preparation of Environmental ManagementPlan (EMP) is required. The development of sound EnvironmentManagement Plan is important to mitigate any adverse impacts of theproposed project. The plan should indicate the details as to how variousmeasures have been or are being proposed to be taken including costcomponents as may be required. Cost of measures for environmental safeguards should be treated as an integral component of the project cost andenvironmental aspects should be taken in to account at various stages of theproject.

Conceptualization: Preliminary environmental assessmentPlanning: Detailed studies of environmental impacts and design of safeguardsExecution: Implementation of environmental safety measuresOperation: Monitoring of effectiveness of built in safe guards

The maximum amount of pollution load that can be discharged in theenvironment without affecting the designated use and is governed bydilution, dispersion and removal due to natural physico chemical andbiological processes is the assimilative capacity of the study area. The mainobjective of Environmental Management Plan is to warrant that the industrialdevelopment in an identified particular study area needs to be entangled withjudicious utilization of non renewable resources and to ensure that thestress/load on the ecosystem is within its permissible assimilative capacity i.e.its carrying capacity.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainabledevelopment in the area of the proposed plant. Hence, it needs to be an allencompass plan for which the proposed industry, government, regulatingagencies like Pollution Control Board working in the region and moreimportantly the affected population of the study area need to extend their co






operation and contribution. The identification and quantification of impactsbased on scientific and mathematical modelling.

The Environmental Management Action Plan aims at controlling pollution atthe source level to the possible extent with the best available technologyfollowed by treatment measures before they are discharged. The recyclingand re use of industrial waste not only reduces the waste generated but canbe an economic gain to the industry.

10.2 Objective of Environmental Management Plan

The objective of the Environmental Management Plan is summarized as under:

To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverseimpacts.To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and hazardouswaste with adoption of adequate and efficient technology.To comply with all the norms and standards stipulated by GujaratPollution Control Board/Central Pollution Control Board.To create good working conditions.To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management plan.Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for acleaner and better environment.

10.3 Components of Environmental Management Plan

EMP for the proposed project covers following aspects:

Description of mitigation measures which are proposed for proposedoperation phase onlyDescription of monitoring programInstitutional arrangementsImplementation schedule and reporting procedures

All above aspects and objectives are kept in the view and considering the sameEMP is prepared for two major fields,

10.3.1 Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

Unit is well aware of environmental requirements for planning andimplementation of the project and set up a department with trained






personnel headed under the qualified EHS officer. As indicated in theimpact and mitigation chapter of this report, the environmental impactdue to the proposed activity is very marginal release of pollutants due toproposed activity.

10.3.2 Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)

Chemical industries prefer an integrated approach and makeenvironmental management a part of overall Environment, Health andSafety (EHS) Management system. This model EHS system suggests andaddresses EMS issues such as:

Management system expectationManagement leadership, responsibilities and accountabilityRisk assessment and managementCompliance and other requirementsPersonnel, training and contractor servicesDocumentation and communicationsFacilities design and constructionOperation, maintenance and managementCommunity awareness and emergency responseEHS performance monitoring and measurementIncident investigation reporting and analysisEHS management system auditManagement review and audit

10.3.3 Environmental Management Cell (EMC)

For effective implementation of the monitoring program, it is necessaryto have a permanent organizational set up. Thus, unit will set uppermanent Environmental Management Cell (EMC) for the effectiveimplementation and monitoring of environmental management systemas given below.

EMC will monitor all project activities to ensure the appropriateimplementation of all environmental mitigation activities and toidentify areas where environmental management plan compliance isnot satisfied. Responsibilities will be assigned to officer from variousdisciplines to perform and co ordinate the activities concerned with






management and implementation of environmental control measures.Director of the company will be responsible for overall environmentalmanagement. EHS officer will inform all the matter regardingenvironmental management including reporting of non compliances /violations of environmental norms.

10.5 Biological Conservation Plan for Indian Peafowl (Peacock)

An Indian Peafowl or Peacock (Pavo Cristatus) is a large pheasant justifiablydeclared as the National Bird of India in 1963 due to its flagship valuefounded on its glorious position in mythology and its widespread distributionand grandeur. In India, it is given the utmost protection by inclusion inSchedule 1 of Indian Wildlife Act, 1972 (2002). Being a wide spread species,apart from the various urban habitats, it is also found in agriculture field,along stream with good vegetation and close to human habitation in semi –feral conditions. In the present study area this species have been confirmedfrom various habitats located near the village periphery.

Appearance:Male peacock has a spectacular glossy green long tail feathers that may bemore than 60% of the total body length. These feathers have blue, goldengreen and copper colored eyes. The long tail feathers are used for matingrituals like courtship displays. The feathers are arched into a magnificent fanshaped from across the back of the bird and almost touching the found onboth sides. Female do not have these graceful tail feathers. They have to fanlike crest with whites face and throat, chestnut brown crown and hind neck,metallic green upper breast and mantle, white belly and brown back rumpand tail. Their primaries are dark brown.

Study Approach:Since the buffer zone of the proposed synthetic organic chemical mfg. unitreported with Schedule 1 Species named as Pavo cristatus commonly known aspeacock, a systematic study was conducted to assess their status in terms ofmovement and habitat use of the species. At first, a detailed biological surveyof the core & buffer zone was carried out to understand the status distributionof the species in the study area. Also, questionnaire survey was carried out tounderstand the recent status of peacock sighting and their movements.Villagers from Lavad, Lihoda, Kadjodra, Devkaran Na muvada, VasanaRathod, Dahegam and Sanoda interviewed randomly. The conclusion of thesurvey discussed the potential sighting & habitat use, and movement andfood habitats of peacock in the study area.






Sighting and Habitat Use:From the Core Zone no any peacock was sighted. However, direct sighting ofthe peacock were located near the human dominated and associated surroundhabitats like agriculture fields and near water bodies. This species is welladapted to natural village environment setting. According to the villagers(interview), during day time that temporally move towards the surroundingareas like agricultural fields or water bodies for feeding while during nighttime roosts on the trees present in vicinity of the human settlement and alsoroad side trees. Some villages emphasized that, sometime peacock roosts onthe roof of the houses.

Figure: 10.2 Photographs showing Indian Peafowl (Peacock) sighting

Near Gola Pond Agricultural Fields near Malav Pond

Food and Feeding Habitats:Peafowls are omnivores, eating plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, insects,and other arthropods, reptiles and amphibians. In the study area dense treecanopy cover supports good insect diversity which is very common food forpeafowls.

Habitat Improvement Action Plan:Habitat improvement program will include plantation of various plantspecies like Bassia latifolia (Mahua), Mangifera Indica (Ambo), Lagerstroemiaparviflora (Seja), Tamarindus Indica (Ambli) and other species reported from thestudy area should be taken into priority. In order to improve vegetation cover,it is suggested to carry out extensive afforestation program in differentphases. These species will help to provide habitat for faunal diversity, andalso increases the species diversity and maintain the naturalness of thesurrounding area.






Seed Distribution among the Villagers:During this habitat improvement programme the seed of Bassia Latifolia(Mahua), Tamarindus Indica (Ambli) and other seeds will be distributed inthe various villages of the study area. Compost packets will be also providedat the intervals of the every six months by the proponent (in consultation offorest department).

Water Filing in the existing Water Bodies during Summer:Water will be filled in the existing (selected by forest department) waterbodies by water tankers (five number in each water body).

Inference – Buffer Zone as Peacock Habitat:Presented survey of the peacock in the buffer zone of the project site showsthat, peafowl is well adapted to the existing rural setting of the study area.However, the following points can give an insight on the overall status ofpeafowl in the study area and thereby plan for better management strategiesrelated to proposed activities.

Local resident of the study area well aware of the movement pattern ofpeafowl in their surrounding habitats.Peafowl uses agriculture and various rural habitats as a feeding groundduring day time while during night time they take shelter on the treesas well as on the roof of the houses. It clearly indicates peafowlnormally uses ecosystem or habitats adjacent to village.

From the above said facts, it can be inferred that, some villages of the bufferzone provide roosting and feeding ground for peafowl, while core zone donot have potential habitat for roosting or feeding ground for peafowl.Therefore, it has been visualized that, the proposed project will not have anysignificant impact on peacock in terms of their normal movements and otheractivities. However, it is necessity to take some management option likehabitat improvement in the villages located in the immediate vicinity of theproject site. So, habitat improvement programme (Plantation of recommendedand local plant species) will be under taken in (in consultation of forestdepartment) different villages located in the close vicinity of the project area.Under this programme sampling will be distributed in the nearby villageswith the consultation of the local forest department.






In consultation of the forest department, following conservation measureswill be adapted for peacock conservation:

1. Habitat improvement programme in the different villages will beundertaken in the buffer zone area for shelter and roosting of peacocks.This will be achieved by plantation of local varieties of the tree speciesnear villages in buffer area. Plantation will also be carried in someforest patches identified by local forest department.

2. School level awareness programme will be conducted for conservationof peacock by organizing competition during “Wildlife Week” and“Van Mahotsav” celebration.

Further suggestion/ recommendation:Restricted uses of pollutants in their habitat.Stopping the increased vehicle pollution, wildlife road fatalities anddamaged to precious habitat by people to start movement towards theseareas.To carry annual census research project to ecology and habitat use bypeacock.By making provision of veterinary care and cages for injurious or sickdeformed birds.

10.6 Greenbelt Development Plan

The main objective of the greenbelt is to provide a barrier between the plantand the surrounding areas. The greenbelt helps to halt soil erosion, make theeco system more sustainable, make the climate more conductive and restorewater balance. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emissions and toattenuate the noise generated in the plant apart from improving the aestheticsof the plant site.

The unit proposes to create the peripheral greenbelt within the project site aswell as outside the project premises considering the CPCB guidelines.

Out of total plant area 13,028 m2, Unit will develop thick greenbelt in 4,457 m2

area (about 34 %). Considering the environmental status of project area fourmain parameters like salinity, draught, fire resistance, native species withfaster growth rate and ever green nature have been considered while selectingthe species. Facts considered during selection of plant species for greenbeltdevelopment are:

Agro climatic zone (arid to semi arid climate) of the project areaEvergreen species to mitigate cumulative impacts due to otherindustries.Type of pollutant (mainly air) likely to disperse from project activities.Biological–filter Efficiency: Absorption of gases, Dust capturing andNoise control.

The green belt development program will go simultaneously in phasedmanner along with the civil activities. It may be noted that this activitydemands expert advice and guidance. Details of the selected plant species fordevelopment of greenbelt are given in the Table 10.2.

10.7 Rain Water Harvesting Scheme

Rainwater Harvesting is generally recharging rainwater in to theunderground formation, where it will be stored in underground reservoirs(Aquifer) so that we can draw it whenever we need it.

Rain water harvesting means arresting rainwater during monsoon and storingit in natural reservoirs (aquifers) and artificial/ manmade reservoirs (tanks).The rain is available everywhere in India and the end user can store this waterat marginal cost. The harvested rainwater can be used for flushing, washing,gardening, irrigation, fire fighting and even consumption with necessarytreatment. Rainwater is the purest form of water available to us. Experts opinethat the major source of water, rain must be saved to solve the problem ofwater scarcity.






Need for Rainwater HarvestingTo reduce ground water pollutionTo augment the ground water storage and decline of water levelTo improve the quality of ground waterTo reduce the soil erosionTo avoid flooding on roads

Advantages of Rainwater HarvestingProvides self sufficiency at least reduces load on water supplyReduces the cost of pumping of ground water as it raises ground watertableImproves quality of ground water through dilution when recharge toground waterReduces soil erosion in alluvium areaRainwater harvesting systems are simple which can be adopted byindividuals

Available TechnologyStorage in artificial above or underground tanks.Recharging aquifer directly through tube wells with necessary treatment.Recharging aquifer by percolation / Soakage in the ground.

Method of Rain Water HarvestingIn arid and semiarid areas rain water forms the only source of domestic watersupply. This is an ideal solution to water problem where there is no groundwater (Saline ground water) and surface sources are very far. This is ideallysuited from the economical point of view. Rain water is bacteriologically pure,free from, organic water and soft in nature. To meet drinking water demandduring the critical dry period of 90 120 days roof top water harvesting is veryuseful. Ground water recharge or storage from house of 100 m2 of roof topwill be 55,000 liters in one year, sufficient for a period of four months for afamily of five members.

In roof top rain water harvesting the rain water is collected from roof of thebuildings and stored in water tank for beneficial use in future. The size of thecatchment area and tank should be enough to supply sufficient water for theusers during this period.






VolumeVolume of tank can be calculated by the following formula.V= (t x n x a) tat whereV= Volume of tank (litters)T= Length of the dry season (days)N= Number of people using the tankA= Consumption per capita per days (litters)ET= Evaporation loss during the dry periodSince evaporation from a closed storage tank is negligible theevaporation loss (et) can be ignored (=Zero)

Essential Components of the systemRoof CatchmentGutters for collection of roof waterDown pipe to convey rain water from gutter to storage tank“Foul Flush” to divert the contaminated run off from roof (forinitial wash out before taking to storage tankFilter/MeshStorage tank under groundWater withdrawal arrangement (Hand Pump)Dis infection arrangement

Design ConsiderationIn the design system, the main criterion is the most economical combinationof the storage tank volume, systematic analysis of rainfall records andconstruction costs.

Selection of SiteSite should be close to the house to reduce the cost of down pipeSite should have good drainage and should be away from the cattleshed and soak pits etc. for cleanliness and hygiene surrounding thetankSite should be away from tress to prevent litters falling on the roofand structural disturbance to the tank by roof propagationSite should be easily accessible for tapping water






Runoff Calculation & Provision of Rainwater TanksThe area under investigation for M/s. Happiness Pharmaceuticals Ltd. atVillage: Lavad, Taluka: Dehgam, District: Gandhinagar is 13,028 m2. Thedependable rainfall of the project area is 897 mm i.e. 0.897 m. Calculation ofrain water to be harvested based on yearly rainfall and runoff is given inTable 10.3.
