Rice is the main crop of the zone constituting approximately 80% of the cropped area with pulses millets and oil seeds at various places.

3.2.2 Drainage Pattern

The drainage system of the study area is covered by one major river and their tributaries i.e. the Mahanadi. The Mahanadi enters the Sambalpur area is the northwest and discharged into the Hirakud water body and Ib river originate from Hirakud dam and flows towards Jharsuguda. The main tributary of river Mahanadi before discharging into Hirakud reservoir is the IB river. Other important tributaries of river Mahanadi in the east are the moltijhor, Harad Jamli. To the west, the principal tributaries of the river Mahanadi in the extreme south. Kuchinda area is drained by four important rivers namely Sapai, Bhedan Kharla and Malti. The study area also covered drainages of IB river, Bheden river, and Lilari nalla. The area of water-shed of Mahanadi cover 20 sq.km and IB river covered 9 sq.km respectively. The drainage network of study area is shown in Figure 3.2.1.

3.2.3 Geology

Geologically the area is covered by Archean as well as Gondwana formation. The region is situated under the IB valley and it comprises of the Kampani Talchir and Barakar formations, which belonging to the Gondwana super group. The rocks and mostly sandstone shale and coal seams. The Talcher and Barakar formations are typically of the western flank of Jharsuguda covering the Brigrajnagar and Belpahar area. The region on the right flank of Jharsuguda comprises Augengeneiss and magmitite of Archean age. The Belpahar region comprising the cold field is characterized by ridges and valleys. The rock types present are Quartizites, Quartzide schist, Mica schists, Sand stone, Shale, phyllite.

3.2.4 Hydrogeology

The hydrogeological studies to understand the local geology, geomorphic features, drainage network, aquifer characteristics and yield of water. Accordingly various components controlling the hydrogeological regime of the study area. Nature of Occurrence of Ground water Ground water systems are a result of the complex combination of different lithological and structural types within an area that together constitute an aquifer within which ground water accumulates and moves. Rather than describing individual lithologies and their tendencies to form aquifers or otherwise, it is useful to describe the ground water as one continuous across various lithological types (Kulkarni and Deolankar, 1995).

In general, the groundwater occurs in the study area is under unconfined to semi confined conditions. The ground water is restricted to weathered residuum and fractured zones and having yield of 2 to 10 litre/second.

3.4 Soil Characteristics

The baseline information on soils in the area is essential to determine the impact of steel and iron plant along with their associated activities for assessing the current impacts of steel and iron plant on the soil quality and the anticipated impacts in future. Accordingly, the assessment of the soil quality has been carried out.

3.4.1 Data Generation

For studying soil quality in the region, sampling locations were selected to assess the existing soil conditions in and around the plant area representing various land use conditions. The physical, chemical and heavy metal concentrations were determined. The samples were collected by ramming a core-cutter into the soil up to 90 cm depth. Six locations were identified within the study area for soil sampling. At each location, soil samples were collected from three different depths viz. 30 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm below the surface and homogenized. The homogenized samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics. Soil samples were taken at six locations once during the study period.

The details of the sampling locations are given in Table-3.4.1 and are shown in Figure-3.4.1. The soil quality for all the locations during study period is tabulated in Table-3.4.2. The results are compared with standard classification as given in Table-3.4.3.

3.5 Meteorology

The meteorological data recorded during the monitoring period is very useful for proper interpretation of the baseline information as well as for input prediction models for air quality dispersion. Historical data on meteorological parameters will also plays an important role in identifying the general meteorological regime of the region.

The year may broadly be divided into four seasons:

� Winter season : December to February � Pre-monsoon season : March to May � Monsoon season : June to September � Post-monsoon season : October to November

On-site monitoring was undertaken for various meteorological variables in order to generate the site-specific data. The central micro-meteorological station was installed at a height of about 10 m from ground level free from any obstruction. Data was collected at every hour continuously from 16th 2015 to 15th February 2015 representing part of winter season. The data generated is then compared with the meteorological data generated by nearest India Meteorological Department (IMD) station Jharsuguda located at a distance of 16 km from the plant area. The available meteorological data of IMD, Jharsuguda station has been collected and analyzed.

3.5.1 Meteorological Data Generated at Site The meteorological parameters were recorded on hourly basis during the study period and comprises of parameters like wind speed, wind direction (from 0 to 360 degrees), temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall and cloud cover. The maximum, minimum and average values for all the parameters except wind speed and direction are presented in Table-3.5.1.

3.6 Air Quality

The ambient air quality with respect to the study zone of 10 km radius around the plant forms the baseline information. There are no industries in the study area and present major source of air pollution in the region is due to domestic activities and rural conditions. The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to assess the existing air quality of the area. The study area represents mostly rural environment.

This section describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology adopted for sampling, analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. The applicable environmental standards are given in Annexure-VI and methodologies of the samplings and analysis are given in Annexure-VII. The results of monitoring carried out for study period from 16th January 2015 to 15th February 2015 covering part of winter season are presented in Annexure-VIII.

3.6.1 Methodology adopted for Air Quality Survey

3.6.1.1 Selection of Sampling Locations

The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a scientifically designed ambient air quality-monitoring network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has been based on the following considerations:

• Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale; • Topography of the study area; • Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; • Representatives of likely impact areas.

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at six locations with due consideration to the above mentioned points. Table-3.6.1 gives the details of environmental setting around each monitoring station. The location of the selected stations with reference to the project site is given in the same table and shown in Figure-3.6.1.

3.6.1.2 Frequency and Parameters for Sampling

The ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out with a frequency of two days per week at all locations for study period from 16th January 2015 to 15th February 2015. The baseline data of air environment is generated for the following parameters:

• Particulate Matter (PM10); • Particulate Matter (PM2.5); • Sulphur dioxide (SO2); • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2); • Carbon monoxide (CO); • Ozone (O3); • Ammonia (NH3); • Nickel (Ni); • Arsenic (As); • Lead (Pb); • Benzene (C6H6); and • Benzo Pyrene (BaP).

3.8 Noise Level Survey

The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency. Noise in general is sound which is composed of many frequency components of various loudness distributed over the audible frequency range. Various noise scales have been introduced to describe, in a single number, the response of an average human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at different loudness levels. The most common and universally accepted scale is the A weighted scale which is measured as dB (A). This is more suitable for audible range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. The scale has been designed to weigh various components of noise according to the response of a human ear.

The impact of noise sources on surrounding community depends on:

• Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous in nature). It can be observed that steady noise is not as annoying as one which is continuously varying in loudness;

• The time of day at which noise occurs, for example high noise levels at night in residential areas are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance; and

• The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive land use, which determines the loudness and period of exposure.

The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise. The environmental impact assessment of noise due to construction activity, and vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological responses, annoyance and general community responses. Noise monitoring has been undertaken for 24 hrs duration at each location.

3.8.1 Identification of Sampling Locations

A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area. Noises at different noise generating sources have been identified based on the activities in the village area and ambient noise due to traffic.

The noise monitoring has been conducted for determination of noise levels at eight locations during the study period as per the TOR suggested by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi. The noise levels at each of the locations were recorded for 24 hours during each season.

The environment setting of each noise monitoring location is given in Table-3.8.1 and shown in Figure-3.8.1.

3.8.2 Methodology of Data Generation

3.8.2.1 Instrument Used for Monitoring

Noise levels were measured using integrated sound level meter manufactured by Quest Technologies, USA (Model No.2900). The integrating sound level meter is an integrating/ logging type with Octave filter attachment (model OB-100) with frequency range of 31.5 to 16000 Hz. This instrument is capable of measuring the Sound Pressure Level (SPL), Leq and octave band frequency analysis.

3.8.2.2 Method of Monitoring

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements were measured at all locations. The readings were taken for every hour for 24 hours. The day noise levels have been monitored during 6 am to 10 pm and night levels during 10 pm to 6 am at all the locations covered in 10 km radius of the study area.

3.8.2.3Parameters Measured During Monitoring For noise levels measured over a given period of time interval, it is possible to describe important features of noise using statistical quantities. This is calculated using the percent of the time certain noise levels are exceeding the time interval. The notation for the statistical quantities of noise levels are described below: • L10 is the noise level exceeded 10 per cent of the time; • L50 is the noise level exceeded 50 per cent of the time; and • L90 is the noise level exceeded 90 per cent of the time.

Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq):

The Leq is the equivalent continuous sound level which is equivalent to the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound measured in the same period. This is necessary because sound from noise source often fluctuates widely during a given period of time.

This is calculated from the following equation:

(L10 - L90)

2 Leq = L50 + ------------ 60 Lday is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during

day (6 am to 10 pm).

Lnight is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during night (10 pm to 6 am).

VIMTA Labs Limited, Hyderabad 40

Day-Night Sound Level (Ldn):

The noise rating developed for community noise from all sources is the Day-Night Sound Level (Ldn). It is similar to a 24 h equivalent sound level except that during night time period (10 pm to 6 am) a 10 dB (A) weighting penalty is added to the instantaneous sound level before computing the 24 h average. This night time penalty is added to account for the fact that noise during night when people usually sleep is judged as more annoying than the same noise during the day time. The Ldn for a given location in a community may be calculated from the hourly Leq's, by the following equation. Ldn = 10 log {1/24[16(10

Ld/10) + 8 (10(Ln+10)/10)]} Where Ld is the equivalent sound level during the day time (6 am to 10 pm) and Ln is the equivalent sound level during the night time (10 pm to 6 am).

3.8.4 Presentation of Results

The statistical analysis is done for measured noise levels at eight locations for once during study period. The parameters are analyzed for Lday, Lnight, and Ldn. These results are tabulated in Table-3.8.2.

3.9 Ecology and Biodiversity

3.9.1 Introduction Ecological evaluation aims at developing and applying methodologies to assess the relevance of an area for nature conservation. As such, it is to support the assessment of the impact of a proposed development by providing guidance on how to describe the ecological features within the area affected, how to value them, and how to predict the value losses caused by the development. The evaluation of the ecological significance of an area can be undertaken from different perspectives and consequently with different objectives. One of such perspectives focuses on the conservation of the biological diversity or biodiversity. Among the human activities that pose the highest threat to the conservation of biodiversity are the developmental projects in particular. Such projects represent artificial elements that cut through the landscape and interfere with the natural habitat and its conditions by emissions that may be solid, liquid and or gaseous. This in turn influences the abundance and distribution of plant and animal species, i.e., the biodiversity of the areas impacted. Most of the background data needs to be acquired from the governmental agencies or the scientific literature. This information is typically complemented by field visit, site surveys and sample collection. The description of the actual ecological assessment provided by the ecological baseline study serves to set a reference for the subsequent impact analysis. Moreover, it helps decision-makers and EIA reviewers to become familiar with the environmental features and the needs of the study area

3.9.2 Objectives of the study The present study was undertaken with the following objectives to assess both terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the study area: To assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the existing project site. • To assess the flora and fauna in the study area. • To understand the ecology of the water bodies. • To ascertain the migratory routes of fauna, presence of breeding grounds and

sensitive habitats in the study area, if any. • To assess the presence of protected areas in the study area. • To review the information from secondary sources and discuss the issues of

concern with the relevant authority and stakeholders. • Impact prediction based on primary and secondary data sources to formulate

mitigation measures.

3.9.3 Methodology To achieve the above objectives a detailed study of the area was undertaken with the existing site as its centre. The different methods adopted were as follows:

• Generation of primary data by undertaking systematic ecological studies in

the study area; • Primary data collection for flora through random sampling method for trees,

shrubs and herbs from the selected locations to know the vegetation cover qualitatively.

• To spot the fauna in the study area and also to identify the fauna by secondary indicators such as pugmarks, scats, fecal pallets, calls and other signs.

• For ecological information, the secondary sources such as local officials, villagers and other stakeholders were interviewed.

• Sourcing secondary data with respect to the study area from published literature.

3.9.4 General Ecology of the study Area

The study area of the project site predominantly covered by agriculture land followed by natural habitats of various reserve forest. The forest types in the Jharsuguda were broadly categorized into tropical moist mixed deciduous and tropical dry mixed deciduous forests. The forest blocks of Jharsuguda forest divisions are geographically situated within the Northern tropical zone, which are far away from the sea, and the forests fall within the dry deciduous belt. The flora over most of the areas in the eastern region of project site has a predominance of Sal, the crop in areas is mostly paddy along with miscellaneous agriculture practices. Majority of the forest blocks had good percentage of Sal in the past, but due to continuous biotic interference and degradation of forests, the present status of Sal in the forests has suffered and it has now became associated with mixed and bamboo and palash forests in the form of patches and the quality of Sal has become degraded due to edaphic factors. It is the major species in the forests throughout the Reserve forest comprises in the study area.

3.9.5 Forest Blocks in the Study Area

There are eight reserve forests in the study area and there are no wildlife sanctuaries, national parks , biosphere reserves or migratory corridors of any sensitive species in the study area. The nearest wildlife sanctuary was Debrigarh Sanctuary about 34.84 km in SE direction from project site. Details of the forest blocks from the study area are given in Table-3.9.2

3.9.8 Aquatic Biodiversity

Phytoplankton

Phytoplankton forms the basis of food chain in any aquatic water body. The diversity and abundance of phytoplankton mainly depends on the region, type of water body, either lentic or lotic, the nutrient flux in the system and the sunlight available for photosynthesis. These factors together form the dynamics of phytoplankton productivity over the seasons. The phytoplankton of a given water body determines the zooplankton populations and the fish productivity of the ecosystem. Phytoplankton group reported from three locations are Basillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Myxophyceae and Euglenophyceae members. About 11 species of phytoplankton were reported from all the locations. Dominance of Bacillariophyceae members followed by Myxophyceae was observed in the studied samples. The highest percentage was Cymbella sp. and Spirulina sp. and the lowest percentage was of Synedra sp. during study period.

Zooplankton

The zooplanktons of the aquatic water body are the primary consumers and also in cases secondary producers which play an important role for the fisheries of that system. The diversity and abundance of zooplankton also depends on whether the water body is eutrophic or oligotrophic. They also are good representatives of the ecosystem health. The amount and type of pollutants in the water body determine the type of zooplankton species. Species of copepod will usually dominate in the tropical region while more eutrophicated waters with high nutrient or organic loads will harbour high number of crustaceans and arthropods. The less polluted waters will have more of cladocerans and rotifers. A total of 10 zooplankton species occurred in the study area and the percent composition of zooplankton varied among different locations. Among the zooplankton group, Brachionous sp (Rotifera) had highest percentage composition and the lowest percentage composition was of Keratella sp. in the total zooplankton. Cypris sp. and Cyclops sp. also occurred in the sampled water bodies. On the basis of type of species their proportional dominance and the overall diversity of both phyto- and zooplankton it can be concluded that water bodies are oligo trophic to slightly meso trophic due to inflow and runoff from the surrounding areas. The list of plankton recorded in fresh water bodies from the study during the study period are presented in Table-3.9.8 below.

D. Power Supply Facilities Out of total 72 villages, only 3 villages were deprived from electricity facilities, other 69 villages availing power facility in the form of all purposes. Only 01 village was availing electricity for agricultural purpose.

E. Drinking Water Facilities All 72 villages were availing drinking water facility. Major water sources within the study area were tap water, well water and hand pumps. F. Transportation Facilities Roads are the only means for transportation observed in the study area. Out of total 72 villages, only 21 villages were availing bus services facilities, whereas two CT Brajrajnagar & Belpahar were connected with the railway network, moreover 02 villages were availing navigable water way.

Health status Health of the people is not only a desirable goal, but it is also an essential investment in human resources. As per the National Health Policy (1983), Primary Health Care has been accepted as main instrument for achieving this goal of development and strengthening rural health infrastructure through a three-tier system, viz., Primary Health Center (PHCs), Sub Centers and Community Health Center, which have been established the operationalization of these units.

METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS

AVII-1

1.0 Meteorology

The methodology adopted for monitoring surface observations is as per the

standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS:8829) and India

Meteorological Department (IMD).

1.1 Methodology of Data Generation

The Central Monitoring Station (CMS) equipped with continuous monitoring

equipment was installed at site at a height of about 10 m above ground level to

record wind speed, direction, relative humidity and temperature. The

meteorological monitoring station was located in such a way that it is free from

any obstructions and as per the guidelines specified under IS:8829. Cloud cover

was recorded by visual observation. Rainfall was monitored by rain gauge.

The continuous recording meteorological instrument of Dynalab, Pune (Model

No.WDL1002) has been used for recording the met data. The sensitivity of the

equipment is as given in Table-1.

TABLE-1

SENSITIVITY OF METEOROLOGY MONITORING STATION

Sr. No. Sensor Sensitivity

1 Wind speed Sensor ± 0.02 m/s

2 Wind direction Sensor ± 3 degrees

3 Temperature Sensor ± 0.2oC

Hourly maximum, minimum and average values of wind speed, direction and

temperature were recorded continuously with continuous monitoring equipment. All

the sensors were connected to filter and then logged on to datalogger. The readings

were recorded in a memory module, which was attached to datalogger. The

memory module was downloaded in computer through Dynalab software. The

storage capacity of memory module was 256 KB. Data was downloaded every

fortnight into the computer. The data was recorded continuously. The recovery of

data was about 98%. The rest of 2 % data gaps were filled by referring to IMD data

and daily weather reports in the local newspapers. However, Relative Humidity and

Rainfall were recorded manually.

1.2 Ambient Air Quality

The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central

Pollution Control Board (CPCB), IS: 5184 and American Public Health Association

(APHA).

The techniques used for ambient air quality monitoring and minimum detectable

level are given in Table-3.

collected for metal content were acidified with 1 ml HNO3. Samples for

bacteriological analysis were collected in sterilized glass bottles. Selected physico-

chemical and bacteriological parameters have been analyzed for projecting the

existing water quality status in the study area. Parameters like temperature,

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and pH were analyzed at the time of sample collection.

The methodology for sample collection and preservation techniques was followed as

1.4 Soil Quality

At each location, soil samples were collected from three different depths viz. 30

cm, 60 cm and 90 cm below the surface and are homogenized. This is in line with

Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America). The homogenized

samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics. The soil samples

were collected and analyzed once in each season.

The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for

physico-chemical parameters. The heavy metals have been analyzed by using

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and Inductive Coupled Plasma Analyzer.

The methodology adopted for each parameter is described in Table-6.

1.5 Noise Levels

1.5.1 Method of Monitoring

Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours with one hour

interval starting at 0030 hrs to 0030 hrs next day. The noise levels were monitored

on working days only and Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays were not

monitored. During each hour Leq were directly computed by the instrument based

on the sound pressure levels. Lday (Ld), Lnight (Ln) and Ldn values were computed

using corresponding hourly Leq of day and night respectively. Monitoring was

carried out at ‘A’ response and fast mode.

Parameters Measured During Monitoring

For noise levels measured over a given period of time interval, it is possible to

describe important features of noise using statistical quantities. This is calculated

using the percent of the time certain noise levels exceeds the time interval. The

notation for the statistical quantities of noise levels is described below:

• Hourly Leq values have been computed by integrating sound level meter.

• Lday: As per the CPCB guidelines the day time limit is between 07:00 hours to

22.00 hours as outlined in Ministry of Environment and Forest Notification S.O.

123 (E) dated 14/02/2000.

• Lnight: As per the CPCB guidelines the night time limit is between 22:00 hours to

07.00 hours as outlined in Ministry of Environment and Forest Notification S.O.

123 (E) dated 14/02/2000.

A rating developed by Environmental Protection Agency, (US-EPA) for specification

of community noise from all the sources is the Day-Night Sound Level, (Ldn).

Ldn: It is similar to a 24 hr equivalent sound level except that during night time

period (10 PM to 07 AM) a 10 dB (A) weighting penalty is added to the

instantaneous sound level before computing the 24 hr average. This nighttime

penalty is added to account for the fact that noise during night when people usually

sleep is judged as more annoying than the same noise during the daytime.

The Ldn for a given location in a community may be calculated from the hourly Leq’s,

by the following equation.
