enhanced manufacturing capacity in line with market dynamics, now HPL has drawn
aggressive plans to not only further supplement its manufacturing capabilities with expanded
production capacity of some antioxidants, core bulk blowing agent ADC but also to introduce
a few new products namely antioxidants for Oils and Lubricants and Clarifying agents for
Polymer industry to complement its product basket.
Expansion of the plant is mainly for increasing the manufacturing capacities with its
Antioxidants; K-10, K-30, K-135L, K-57L, K-18L, K-28, K-DA; HC-301, Hydrazine, Hydrazo-
dicarbonamide (HDC), Azo-dicarbonamide (ADC) and Adipic dihydrazide (ADH) other by-
products. Currently the unit is only producer of Hydrazine with a capacity of 110 MT/ month.
After proposed expansion the unit would produce 2253 MT/ month of products cumulatively.
The proposed expansion of antioxidant production as well as production of various newer
polymer additives will generate large number of job opportunity for skilled as well as semi or
un-skilled workers during construction phase for temporary purpose and regular purpose
during operation stage.

Project Description
2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT
The proposed project of HPL Additives Limited at their Bhagwanpur, Derabassi unit in SAS
Nagar, Punjab is basically an expansion Plan. The company had planned for expansion of
their chemical processing unit with increment of production capacity of existing product as well
as addition of newer product. The existing unit is a global producer of organic polymer
additives such as hydrazine hydrate, which normally used as polymerisation initiators and
pharmaceutical intermediates. Thus, the project attracts EIA requirement for the expansion
and requires Environment Clearance prior to the project under activity 5(f) – “Synthetic organic
chemicals industry (dyes & dye intermediates; bulk drugs and intermediates excluding drug
formulations; synthetic rubbers; basic organic chemicals, other synthetic organic chemicals
and chemical intermediates)”. Additionally, the proposed project location is situated very close
to the inter-state boundary of Punjab & Haryana, thus, the project comes within the ‘A’
category.
The project would not involve any additional land acquisition as the existing unit has 90% of
open area and planning & design has been made accordingly. The existing product of the unit
is Hydrazine Hydrate, having production capacity of 110 MT/ month, which will increase to 295
MT/month. There will be addition of 8 more products has been planned, which are namely,
Kinox-30, Kinox-10, HC-301, 3,4 DMB, Lube Antioxidants, HDC, ADC, ADH. Those products
mainly having phenolic derivatives and some raw materials having hazardous characters as
per the MSIHC amendment rules, 2016, thus the proposed project requires extensive study to
identify the impacts. Company shall deliver leadership towards identification of hazards &
implementation of impact mitigation concepts.
2.2 NEED OF THE PROJECT
HPL Additives has planned for expansion of their existing production as well as newer
products as per market demand in their Derabassi plant at Bhagwanpur village in Punjab.
Requirements of expansion and details of products are described below:
Justification of the Expansion
Spotting opportunities at global scale, in 2006 company had made a quantum leap forward
with a five-fold increase in its manufacturing capacities for Polymer Additives at its plant at

village, Dudhola, Tehsil & District Palwal. The project was completed with in record time of 10
months and conceived and fully executed by HPL own team culminated in a state-of-art plant,
incorporating contemporary technology rather surpassing international benchmarks in many
critical domains.
The technology and support for successful absorption thereof for manufacturing these
products Anti-oxidants and UV Stabilizers was provided by company’s R&D centre.
Antioxidants and UV stabilizers play a vital role in the life cycle of polymer. The success of
anti-oxidants and UV Stabilizers depends on high purity, the presence of minimum impurities
and minimum residual catalyst. R&D team integrated technological tools like bench marking
for each product; impurity profile analysis and good manufacturing practices to achieve this.
As development and manufacturing of these products is complicated and involve high level of
automation as well as process control during manufacture of these Antioxidants, process
innovations were made to ensure right quality for its international market. HPL is the only
producer of these products in India through indigenously developed technology.
To optimize available resources and to take advantage of geographical site locations HPL has
now ear marked an ambitious expansion plant to triple capacities of some of the antioxidants
and to start producing an ADC intermediate at its raw material source at its Plant at Derabassi
in Punjab. HPL shall also change / readjust production portfolio of its Antioxidants currently
produced at its Dudhola plant so as to accommodate expansion of production facilities of some
other products, if so required.
HPL market its products across the world. As stated elsewhere around 50% of its turnover is
from exports, primarily to developed market like Europe and USA. Per Capita consumption of
plastics in India is quite low in comparison to world average consumption and way below per
capita consumption in developed countries. It is obvious that with projected economic growth,
per capita consumption of plastics in India shall grow substantially. Natural growth from larger
number of consumers from normal population growth shall be another add-on. With increase
in consumption/ production of Plastics, demand of additives shall also increase
proportionately.
Significant to add that HPL Additives product basket has an international foot-print as well and
is not limited to domestic market.

2.4 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
HPL Additives Limited has 4 production unit in India, one is in Bhagwanpur, Derabassi
(proposed expansion unit), one in Dudhola, Haryana and other 2 in Ballabhgarh, Haryana.
The proposed project requires 15,725 sq. meter area for infrastructure, 10,000 sq. meter area
for road and paved structure. The 3 units of HPL Additives Ltd. other than Bhagwanpur unit
don’t have that much of open space to install the same planned facility, whereas, the
Bhagwanpur unit has only 5,391.25 sq. meters of build-up area out of 67,414.57 sq. meters of
owned land. Thus, in respect of land availability the Bhagwanpur, Derabassi unit is ideal to
materialized the plan.
On the other hand, the other units have less roadways connectivity than the Bhagwanpur unit.
The proposed unit has very good roadways connectivity with local market as well as market
from raw materials would be brought. As, the area available in proposed unit is owned by the
proponent and the use of the land is industrial type, thus in case of expansion within the
existing premises might not requires any additional alternative land identification.

• K30, K-10 & K-28
These are specialty grades of product category – Antioxidants, which are added to specific
synthetic polymers to retard oxidative degradation processes so that their physical properties
are retained and to ensure adequate life time.
Polyolefin account for roughly 60% of global demand for polymers. Polyolefin is a collective
name for hydrocarbon polymers including polyethylene. These are two of the widely used
polymers and account for more than half the total plastics world consumption, due to their low
cost and excellent versatile properties including strength, flexibility, lightness and easy
process ability. Antioxidants are used in polyolefin both for processing and long stability of
finished goods.
Global demand for polyolefin is very large. From a small base of 24 MMT (Million Metric Tons)
in 1983, it had reached 132 MMT in 2013 and currently expected to grow @ 6-7% per annum.
Faster growth albeit on a small demand base is taking place in India as well. India produced
7.3 MMT in 2013. Demand is growing @more than 10% per annum but very large
manufacturing capacity is coming alive in India in next one year or so i.e. OPAL at Dahej,
GAIL in Assam, MRPL in Mangalore and IOCL in Paradip.
HPL is the only Indian manufacturer of Antioxidants and is primed to take advantage of
domestic market growth.
• K-30- Stabilizers for Polypropylene film and tape application which require low water
carry over.
• K-10- is a long-term stabilizer for Polyolefin, Olefinic copolymer, Polyacetal, Polyamide
and synthetic adhesive.

Hydrazine Hydrate by continuous process
Current production process of Hydrazine Hydrate (HH) is based on batch production, wherein
4% Hydrazine is produced by reaction of Sodium hypochlorite with technical Urea followed by
treatment with caustic flakes. This process requires physical addition of solid caustic soda
flakes in a tank which is laboursome and prone to manual handling hazard due to labour
intervention.
HPL Additives Limited has now developed a new continuous process for the production of
intermediate HDC directly through in-situ manufacturing of dilute Hydrazine solution, wherein
caustic soda lye will be used and there will be no requirement of solid caustic flakes and the
process will involve mechanical handling, thus, it will safer to handling.

This continuous process for the production of HDC offers the potential to increased efficiencies
and consistent product quality, on the other hand the process will also reduce the
manufacturing costs and run in more environmentally viable manner. With continuous
operation and ongoing inline analysis, process parameters are more closely will be monitored
and maintained at optimal values, leading to more consistent processes and product quality,
which in turn will reduce waste generation, product losses and downtime.
Hydrazodicarbonamide (HDC) – ADC Intermediate
Preparation of reaction solution: Hydrazine hydrate will neutralize with Sulphuric acid to
make Hydrazine sulphate. Urea will be hydrated in water to prepare aqueous urea solution in
70 degrees Celsius. After completion of solid urea addition, the temperature will be raised to
80 degrees Celsius to make the solution more homogeneous by dissolving urea properly.
Process: The first process will be neutralization of Hydrazine hydrate in presence of urea with
the boiling reactor. By raising the temperature with the help of controlled steam flow, ammonia
will be liberated during reaction process and the same will recover by Ammonia recovery
system having columns, condensers, PHE and Ammonia circulation system.
HDC Washing: There will be requirement of washing of produced HDC, and it will take place
by transfer of HDC slurry from boiling reactor to washing reactor. The detail washing process
is given in flow diagram.

intermediate. ADC capacities are limited to the extent of HDC availability/capacities which in
turn is dependent on Hydrazine availability. HPL Additives currently producing Hydrazine
Hydrate at its Derabassi plant, but capacities are much lower than requirements. Keeping in
mind the increasing demand of ADC in international as well as in domestic market, HPL plans
to expand ADC capacities. To meet Hydrazine/HDC requirements HPL is taking up HDC and
ADC manufacturing (in-situ production of HDC) plans at Derabassi site which shall enable it
to meet additional ADC requirements.

3.2 CLIMATE & RAINFALL
Derabassi has humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) characterised by a seasonal rhythm:
very hot summers, mild winters, unreliable rainfall and great variation in temperature (−1 °C
to 46 °C OR 30.2 °F to 114 °F). The average annual rainfall is 1110.7 mm. The city also
receives occasional winter rains from the Western Disturbance originating over
the Mediterranean Sea.
The western disturbances usually bring rain predominantly from mid-December till end of April
which can be heavier sometimes with strong winds and hails if the weather turns colder (during
March–April months) which usually proves disastrous to the crops. Cold winds usually tend to
come from the north near Shimla, capital of Himachal Pradesh and from the state of Jammu
and Kashmir, both of which receive their share of snowfall during wintertime.
The area experiences the following seasons and the respective average temperatures:
• Spring: The climate remains the most enjoyable part of the year during the spring
season (from February-end to early-April). Temperatures vary between (max) 13 °C to
20 °C and (min) 5 °C to 12 °C.
• Autumn: In autumn (from September-end to mid-November.), the temperature may rise
to a maximum of 30 °C. Temperatures usually remain between 10° to 22° in autumn.
The minimum temperature is around 6 °C.
• Summer: The temperature in summer (from Mid-April to June-end) may rise to 44 °C.
The temperatures might sometime rise to 44 °C in mid-June. Temperatures generally
vary between 40 and 42 °C.
• Monsoon: During monsoon (from early-July to mid-September), Derabassi receives
moderate to heavy rainfall and sometimes heavy to very heavy rainfall (generally during
the month of August or September). Usually, the rain bearing monsoon winds blow from
south-west/south-east. Mostly, the city receives heavy rain from south (which is mainly
a persistent rain) but it generally receives most of its rain during monsoon either from
North-west or North-east. Maximum amount of rain received by the city of Chandigarh
during monsoon season is 195.5 mm in a single day.

According to the baseline data of climate station at proposed unit premises, the November
month experiences as much as 34.2 degree Celsius on 29th of November, and as low as 9.5
degree Celsius on 9th November. December month also experiences some hot days with
highest maximum temperature rise up to 33.2 degree Celsius on 01.12.2017. During these
months, the lowest temperature was minus 0.5 degree Celsius on 9th of January during mid
night, the only day, when temperature goes down below the zero degree.
Rainfall
According to historical data, these monsoon month also experiences rainfall due to the
western disturbance with average of 4.8 rainfall days cumulatively in the season. But, during
our climatological monitoring, the monitoring station only experiences a single rainfall day on
11th of December, 2017 with only 5.7 mm of precipitation. Whereas, the historical data claims
that during these 3 months, the area got about 64.4 mm of rainfall. Thus, the present season
has drift of about 58.7 mm of rainfall. Thus, it is could be said that the area got very less rainfall
during monitoring phase with compare to average historical rainfall. The below compare chart
describes historical rainfall average by ‘Orange line’, and actual rainfall by ‘Blue bar’.

The impact area experience maximum wind flow on Northern-North-eastern (NNE) and North-
eastern (NE) and moderate wind flow towards western direction. Thus, sampling stations like
Dabkauri village and Derabassi town would be the most affected areas due to the proposed
project. But, significantly result shows that Dabkauri village was not affected that much due to
the existing unit and all the pollutant parameters are well within the prescribed limit in this
place, due to long distance between the project site and village. Interestingly, the sampling
stations near Derabassi-Barwala road and near the Derabassi town showing high
concentration of Particulate matter in the air, thus, it can be concluded that, due to heavy
vehicle movement and high population inference also contributed on the concentration of
Particulate matter. The project site sampling station also showing the high concentration of
dust particle, but below the prescribed limit. During, Construction phase and expanded
production phase, the dust particle concentration would be very high if the proper management
action not taken. The other gaseous pollutant’s concentration was well below the prescribed
limit at all sampling station. It is recommended that, during construction phase, monitoring at
Derabassi and on Derabassi-Barwala road should be continued with regular interval to identify
further mitigation approaches. Additionally, stringent air pollution control mechanism is
suggested to minimise air pollution at source.
3.4 AMBIENT NOISE
Noise attribute to proposed project site and surroundings will depends on factors such as
construction activity, the type and condition of the vehicles active on the road, equipment and
machines in operation etc. Also, some secondary attribution of noise generating factors could
trigger high level of noise, e.g. close proximity of other high noise generating industry, market
area, Military Basecamp, Other construction activity, frequent movement of Earth mover etc.
Excessive high noise levels are major concern for sensitive receptors such as Silence Zone
i.e. eco-sensitive area, Hospital, Educational institute, religious place etc. The proposed
project unit neither have those high noise generating secondary factors nor the Silence zones
within the close proximity.
Ambient noise quality at the project impact area has been assessed by undertaking noise level
monitoring at 8 sampling station comprising at the proposed premises as well as at different
sensitive zone like industrial zone, commercial zone, silence zone etc. The detail sampling
station is given below.

The result shows in the ambient noise quality monitoring during November, 2017 to January,
2018, some of the results crosses the prescribed limit of the specified zone. But, none of the
result at within the proposed unit premises and near the proposed project premises above the
prescribed limit. That means, it could be say that areas having high noise level might be
affected by temporary or time-specific secondary noise issues, like heavy rush and population
influx or movement of vehicles near the silence zone receptor. Thus, it could be concluded
that the proposed project would not interfere massively to the near habitation and location by
high noise generation. Additionally, the proposed project would generate moderately higher
level of noise during construction phase, but those activity shall be restricted in day-time only.
During, operational phase, noise pollution control measures shall be adopted by unit authority
as per the Environmental Management Plan to mitigate the high noise generation at source
itself.
3.5 TOPOGRAPHY
The Topography of the district is even. It is mostly a plain of alluvial type. It also has loam to
heavy loam and sand to sandy loam soils in certain parts of the district. Soil is rich in nutrients
and suitable for crops like wheat, Paddy, Maize, potato and Vegetables etc. The proposed

3.6 GEOMORPHOLOGY & SOIL
Geomorphology of the area mainly identified as alluvial plains which is an outcome of the
alluvial deposit of Indo-Gangetic river systems ranging in age from Pleistocene to recent
Period, comprises of thick sand and silty sand layers interbedded with silt and clay beds. The
soils are mainly developed on alluvium under the dominant influence of climate followed by
topography and time. The deposition of newer alluvium commenced after the final upheaval
of Himalayas (Siwaliks) and continued all through the Pleistocene up to the present.

The district soil can be broadly grouped into two depending upon its geomorphic features as
alluvial fan and alluvial plains. Alluvial fans are deposited by hill torrents with a wavy plain
rather than a steep slope. Adjacent to the alluvial fan are the alluvial plains which forms a part
of large Indo- Gangetic Quaternary basin comprises of thick sand and silty sand layers
interbedded with silt and clay beds. The alluvial plains are of vital economic value as it supports
the dense population of the district. The soils are mainly developed on alluvium under the
dominant influence of climate followed by topography and time. The major soil type of the
district is weakly solonized tropical arid brown soils.
The soil of the proposed project area is sandy slit type containing almost 50% of sand, 42%
of slit and very less clay molecules. The colour of the soil is brown with porosity of 23.4%.
Soil Quality Monitoring
Soil quality has been tested by identifying 8 locations within the proposed project impact zone.
The detail of sampling points for soil quality analysis is given below. The soil samples are
analysed by the Method prescribed in “Manual soil testing in India, Department of Agriculture
& corporation, Ministry of Agriculture Government of India, New Delhi, January’2011 “.

3.8 DRAINAGE
There are 2 main rivers flow within the proposed impact zone of expansion project, viz.
Ghaggar River towards western part, and Tangri River towards Eastern part. Ghaggar river
enters within the state from Haryana near Duffarpur village by merging two stream and flows
South-westerly before getting one flow of Sukhna Choe before Bhankarpur and flows further
westerly and then Southerly to exit the state near sadhanpur, which is almost 21 km away
from the proposed project site. The proposed project unit is situated at left/ east bank of the
Ghaggar river, and safely away from flood basin of Ghaggar. The maximum gauge reading for
Ghaggar river high flood occurrence in past 30 years is 30.4 ft or 9.3 meter, the normal flow
level of Ghaggar river is 280 AMSL, in contrast the proposed unit premises has average 311
meters of elevation from mean sea level, and have minimum distance of 6.5 kilometres
towards North-West, thus, the unit is safe from any flood risk of Ghaggar river basin.
The Tangri river is a tributary of Ghaggar river, flows south-easterly in respect to the proposed
project unit. The river originates from Shivalik range and flows towards south with Punjab-
Haryana border and meets Ghaggar river near Kharkan, extreme south of the state. The left
stream of the river has minimum of 5.45 km distance from the proposed site and the river flows
on 310 m elevation level, which is almost same as the proposed unit elevation. But, the unit
has further elevation for civil structures which would avoid any flood risk.
3.9 SURFACE WATER SOURCE
The proposed unit has not any surface water source availability with close proximity to utilize
the resource within the plant’s activity. There are multiple surface water bodies, but no one
has huge surface area, thus, all are could be considered as small pond. The nearest pond at
kami village also has a distance of 2.4 km from the project unit, thus, it is not feasible that the
water of the pond could be utilize in the unit’s activity. Thus, it is clear that there is no surface
water availability for production usage of HPL Additives Ltd. at Bhagwanpur. The other ponds
identified at the impact zone are situated at Barwala, Palasra, Mauli, Seikhpur kalan,
Bhagwanpur, Dhanauni respectively.
Surface Water Quality
Surface water quality had been assessed by selecting 8 sampling stations in impact zone, 2
samples out of which were river water stream of Ghaggar at upstream and downstream. The
other samples were collected as grab sampling from different ponds within the impact zone.
The details of sampling locations and analysis reports are given below.

The ground water test report shows that the borewell within the proposed unit premises has
affected by Turbidity, the Total hardness, Total Dissolved Solids, Alkalinity in the water sample
exceeded the desirable limit of drinking water. The water reveals that the ground water at the
proposed project area is Hard, turbid and alkaline with containing higher amount of dissolved
solids. Thus, it is not suitable for drinking and industrial purpose without prior treatment. The
unit will require soft water and demineralised water for process needs, with accordingly the
unit will develop pre-treatment facility to minimise the turbidity, alkalinity and dissolved solids
up to 250-300 ppm, for requirement of minimisation of hardness, the facility will install the
softening plant before Boiler use and Process use. For requirement of drinking purpose, the
unit will install the RO system at the point of drinking water usage area to settle down further
the dissolved solids concentration up to 100 ppm.
The groundwater test report of the sampling location – Derabassi reveals that the ground water
of the area is slightly alkaline and not good for drinking use. It is clear that, the alkalinity
increment trend in the area’s ground water is a result of secondary contamination of the water
resource and due to the over-exploitation of the ground water, Thus, it is the responsibility to
the enterprise owners to restrict any contamination due to the industrial activity, as the area is
mainly dependent on ground water resource and the right of it firstly goes to the drinking use.

The ground water quality of Fatehpur Viran village shows that, it is affected by total hardness
issue, as the result of TH exceeded the desirable limit of it, also, the water is not good for
drinking use without any treatment. All the other sampling stations report showing that the
ground water quality of those area is not acceptable for drinking use, thus minimum filtration
facility is required after tube or bore well facility to provide the villagers drinkable water, as
most the villages within the impact zone are depends only on ground water resource. The
development of high productive agricultural practices, industries and changing life style of
people have taken place which has affected the quality of surface and ground water and
making the resource more prone to deterioration. The ground water in the project impact area
is alkaline in nature with medium to high salinity. Thus, it is also suggested that the unit should
adopt a plan for water resource optimisation and provide training to the villager within close
proximity for better understanding of water resource.
3.11 BIODIVERSITY
The proposed unit has almost 1800 large trees having different age with almost 55,000.00
square meters of open and green field area. During expansion process, some of the plant
would be cutting down for purpose of clearance of land within the premises. But, in contrast,
after expansion, there will be almost 31,000. 00 square meters of area available for plantation,
and 16,000.00 sq. meters of land area has already been identified as green coverage
according the proposed layout plan. Additionally, the unit management will adopt the regular
social plantation plan to achieve the CO2-O2 balance. The existing trees are common wood
and fruit bearing trees, no one are endemic or endangered in nature. The detail list of trees is
given below.

Species occurring very rarely in the Punjab Shivalik’s include 3 species of Algae, 2 species of
Fungi, 5 species of Pteridophytes, and 44 species of Angiosperms (PSoER, 2005). Species
like Terminalia bellirica and T.chebula seem to be the victims of overexploitation for medicinal
purpose. Likewise, Grewia optiva (leaves used as fodder), Pueraria tuberosa (edible tubers e)
and Bauhinia vahlii (leaves used for making food plates) have suffered extensive damage
because of the utilization of different parts for various purposes. The native and dominant flora
of the semi-arid Punjab like Prosopis cineraria and Tecomella undulata find a prominent place
under the 'threatened' category because of levelling of sand-dunes for agricultural purposes
(Sharma, 2002). Amongst fauna the globally threatened species are 2 types of reptiles,
namely, brown river turtle, Indian rock python; 6 species of birds – White-rumped vulture (Gyps
bengalensis), Long-billed vulture or griffon (Gyps indicus), Oriental Darter (Anhinga
melanogaster), Ferruginous Pochard (Aythya nyroca ), Pallid Harrier (Circus macrourus) and
Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) ; and 2 species of mammals, Smooth coated Otter
(Lutrogale perspicillata) and Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata ) (Source: ZSI).
As per the ZSI report, the unit has 2 plant species at their premises, which are categorised as
local victim due to over-exploitation for medicinal use, the unit would not have any such use,
but due to site clearance activity, plant species would be cut down, the special care is
suggested to deviate the specific species cutting to maximum extent. On the other hand, there
are no bird corridor within the impact area, no other endangered fauna’s breeding centre also
located within the impact area. The impact area only crossing the very little part of the Chattbir
Zoological park, but the distance the location is almost 9.8 km from the proposed project site

and the eco-sensitive zone is a well-protected amusement cum zoological park. Thus, it would
have predicted that no effect will disturb the wildlife of the zoo.
3.12 HAZARD PROFILE
In upper to mid reaches of the Indus Basin, rivers like Jhelum and Chennab are the cause of
flooding. Major flooding is generally associated with the monsoon low depression that
develops in the Bay of Bengal and move across India in west/north-westerly direction to enter
Pakistan. Apart from river floods that particularly affect districts of Sialkot, Narowal, Mandi
Bahuddin, Sargodha, Khushab, Shikhupura, Layyah, Rajanpur, D.G. Khan, Jhang,
Muzaffargarh and Jehlum, flash floods also hit hilly and mountain areas of Punjab, which may
cause landslides and road erosion. The confluence of river basins, the canal irrigation network
and interrupted drainage system are some of the major reasons for flooding in Punjab. Thus,
the proposed location would not have any Flood risk at all.
Drought is a slow on set phenomenon that affects various sectors in the vulnerable areas.
They affect large geographic areas than floods or other hazards. Drought has many definitions
but the common one is the meteorological drought that is characterised by a reduction in
rainfall over a region for a specified period (day/month/season/year) below a specified amount,
usually defined as some proportion (percentage) of the long-term average for the specified
time period. The main arid rangelands in the province include Cholistan, D. G. Khan and Thal
areas. Rainfall variation during different seasons is also considerably high. Climate in lower
southern part of the province is arid and hyper-arid. Low rainfall and precipitation resulted in
the lowest water levels recorded in Pakistan. In the year 2000 the rainfall was 14 percent lower
than that in 1999, following on from declines of 13.2 percent and 26.2 percent in 1999 and
1998 respectively. 21% of Punjab province's economy was affected by the drought of 1998-
2002. According to the Meteorological Department, the districts of Rawalpindi, Chakwal,
Jhelum, Bahawalpur, R.Y. Khan, D.G. Khan, Khushab, Multan, Attock, Mianwali,
Bahawalnagar, Bhakkar, Layyah, Rajanpur, Narowal and Muzafargarh are prone to drought
hazard. Thus, the proposed project area does not have any high drought risk.
The term landslide is used in its broad sense to include downward and outward movement of
slope forming materials (natural rock and soil). It is caused by heavy rain, soil erosion and
earth tremors and also happens in areas under heavy snow. The proposed project area is out
of any landslide risk, as the terrain is more or less plain, and does not have any river flow
within close proximity.

As the unit has very close proximity to the highway and Derabassi-Barwala road, the road has
frequented heavy vehicle movement, and the unit also have regular heavy vehicle movement,
thus, the industry requires freight movement management scheme to minimise the risk of road
accident.
The unit is prone to industrial accident risk as the industry deals with multiple hazardous
chemicals. The unit is accredited with BS OHSAS 18001:2008 management system, and
additional Disaster management plan has already been designed and prepared with reflection
to the additional chemicals after proposed expansion. The unit will manage and run as per the
guidelines prescribed by the MOEFCC and OSHA.
The proposed Project area is lies within the seismic zone IV, thus the area would have risk of
earth quake with moderately high effect. The expansion construction shall be incorporated as
per the approved building plan.
3.13 SOCIAL STRUCTURE
In 2011, the district had population of 994,628 of which male and female were 529,253 and
465,375 respectively. The density of the state increased to 909 persons per square kilometres
from 629 persons in 2001, thus, the area experiences huge population growth due to massive
development from agricultural dominance to industrial growth. It is resulting the job potential
conflict also, the unit will require almost 330 nos. of human resource after expansion, thus, it
will be beneficial to area’s demographic and social growth. The district has sex ratio of 879
with literacy rate of 83.80 percent. The area is well developed with industrial infrastructure.
The proposed unit has close connectivity with social commodities like Hospital, School, Bank,
Post offices etc.
3.14 ARCHEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL PLACES
Fateh Burj
Chappar Chiri, has 35 kilometres of distance from proposed project unit, has a special place
in Sikh history. It was here that Banda Singh Bahadur, one of the most respected Sikh warriors,
won a decisive battle against Wazir Khan, commander of the Mughal army.

A grand memorial, Fateh Burj, set amidst a vast landscaped complex to mark that victory, is
a befitting tribute, albeit a few centuries late. It stands at the centre of the field where the battle
was fought in 1710. I have some reasonably decent visuals from a recent visit.

Mohali Cricket Stadium
The proposed unit has close proximity to the Mohali cricket stadium. The stadium has 25 km
of distance from the proposed unit. The stadium has been hosted multiple prestigious national
and international cricket matches.
Chhatbir Zoological Park
Chhatbir Zoo (formally Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park), is a zoological park situated
close to Zirakpur, India. The zoo was constructed in the 1970s and is home to a large variety of
birds, mammals and reptiles. The zoo was inaugurated on 13 April 1977 by the then governor of
Punjab Mahendra Mohan Choudhry, and it was christened as Mahendra Chaudhury Zoological
Park. Initially the zoo was populated by a small number of animals brought from Guwahati
Zoo, Assam. The zoo has an almost 17 km roadways distance from the proposed project site.
