However, the land selected for Logistic Support Building complex is under Forest Land classification at village Nargol (Survey No. 97 & 98). Application to Forest Department is already submitted on April 28, 2015. Forest Application Proposal No. FP/GJ/IND/11386/2015

22. Whether there is any Government order/ policy relevant / related to the site?

In 1995, Government of Gujarat (GoG) announced Port Policy encouraging private partnership in development of new ports and integrating it with development of Industrial, Infrastructure and Power sectors. Subsequently in 2011, Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) has planned to develop a Greenfield Port Project along the coast of Gujarat in the Valsad District of Gujarat near Nargol Village adjacent to Umbergaon and invited bids for Public Private Partnership model (BOOT basis).

The wastewater will be treated upto discharge standards and will be used for gardening, trees, foundations, toilet flush makeup etc.,

7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted to air, onto the land or into water

Yes

Air: Vehicular and ships emissions, Fugitive emissions from stackyard, and spillage at handling areas. Appropriate technological mitigation measures will be followed to avoid the deposition of pollutants.

Water: Effluent will be treated in the oil bearing effluent treatment plant and sewage in sewage treatment plant. The wastewater will be treated upto discharge standards and will be used for gardening, trees, foundations, toilet flush makeup etc,.

Land: Wastes and wastewater generated will not be discharged onto the land. Proper waste management facilities will be provided. Contamination of land is not envisaged

7.4 From any other sources No -

7.5 Is there a risk of long term build up of pollutants in the environment from these

No -

with source of information data sources?

8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human health or the environment




8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires, etc. from storage, handling, use or production of hazardous substances

Yes

During construction phase, hazardous material such as welding gases, paints, lubricants, etc. will be stored on site.

During operational phase, there will be storage of coal (Non-Hazardous Material) which may cause fire hazards.

During normal operation no spills are expected during handling of Liquid cargo. No storage of Liquid Cargo is envisaged during Phase 1 and Phase 1 A.

Hazardous materials if any will be stored and handled as per the provisions of the manufacturer, storage and import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules and Amendments thereof to avoid accidents during construction or operational phase.

As per Disaster Management Plan (DMP), the necessary measures will be followed to meet any eventuality and to combat hazards or disasters during port operations.

8.2 From any other causes No -

8.3

Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)?

Yes

The project region is falling in Seismic Zone III (Zone of moderate earthquake). During the design stage, the effects from natural disasters will be considered as per IS: 1893 (Part-1):2002 such as Zone factor (Z) = 0.16 & Importance Factor (I) = 1.5 and necessary precautionary measures would be built-in/implemented.

9. Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which could lead to environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with other existing or planned activities in the locality




9.1

Lead to development of supporting utilities, ancillary development or development stimulated by the project which could have impact on the environment e.g. 1. Supporting infrastructure

(roads, power supply, waste or wastewater treatment, etc.)

2. Housing development 3. Extractive industries 4. Supply industries 5. Other

Yes

Development of the proposed port will lead to overall socio-economic development of region. Necessary supportive utilities, infrastructure, housing, etc. to cater the requirements of the port will be developed as part of the project.

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

No Proposed project would be a permanent establishment

9.3 Set a precedent for later developments

Yes Proposed seaport would attract further investment in the region in terms of industrial and commercial activities.

9.4

Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects

No Cumulative impacts if any will be addressed in the EIA.
