Note: CO: Not Detected; VOC: Not Detected

Analysis of ambient air samples revealed that the Air quality is found well within the

prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality standards.

The main source of gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attached to TFH.

Diesel will be used as a fuel & total fuel requirement for proposed project will be 0.5

MT/Day. Adequate stack height will be provided for proper atmosphere dispersion of

pollutants. The probable emitted pollutants will be PM, SO2& NO2. Cyclone separator will be

provided with stack attached to TFH as APCM. Since HSD is used as a fuel for D. G. Set

(back–up system) the flue gas emission will also be well within prescribed norms and there is

no need of any air pollution control measures for D. G. Set.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Analysis of ground water and surface water samples revealed that it is suitable for domestic

activity including agricultural activity. Ground water quality in the area meets the Water

Quality Standards (IS 10500) for drinking water except for parameters like Magnesium, TDS

and Total Hardness whereas surface water quality in the area meets the Water Quality

Standards (IS 10500) for drinking water except for parameters like Chloride , Total Hardness,

Calcium, Magnesium, BOD , pH and TDS.

A. Water Requirement

The total fresh water requirement for the proposed project will be 3.88 kl/day. Out of this said

fresh water quantity 0.4 kl/day will be used for domestic purpose, 1.25 kl/day will be used for

industrial activities and 2.23 kl/day will be used for greenbelt development purpose. The

required water will be obtained through Borewell.

B. Wastewater Generation and its Disposal

The total generation of domestic wastewater will be 0.36 kl/day. The domestic wastewater

generated will be sent to soak pit via septic tank.

The total industrial effluent generation will be 0.61 kl/day, which will be from cooling tower

blow down, process and washing. Industrial effluent will be collected in Collection cum

Neutralization Tank for neutralizing the effluent characteristics. After completion of

neutralization treatment, effluent will be taken to Nutch filter/Filter Press for sludge

separation. Separated dried sludge will be collected, stored and disposed of at approved

TSDF site. Filtrate water from Filter Press will be taken in the holding tank and then effluent

will be evaporated using Evaporator through heat energy. Therefore, no effluent will be

generated and the stated process would be a ZERO DISCHARGE process.

4. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution on soil causes

direct / indirect effect on soil.

As all necessary air pollution control steps are provided and based on the results of the

dispersion model for the Ground Level Concentrations of various pollutants after proposed

project, 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 are provided for handling, storage and disposal of solid/hazardous

waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be any significant impact of

solid/hazardous waste on the soil environment.

6. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

An assessment of socio-economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA study. Socio-

economic environment – demographic & related socio-economic data was collected from

District Census Handbook to assess socio-economic status of the study area.

For proposed project activity, total 6 nos. of skilled and unskilled employees/workers will be

required. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers

and other casual employment for many people.

Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in the plant.

Economic status of the local people will improve due to the increased business opportunities,

thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study

area will considerably improve.

7. ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY

mamamals from the buffer zone of Niser Industies. However, no threatened biodiversity

reported with highest density or richness from the core and buffer zones of the study area.

In addition, no true multi species forest type was recorded in the vicinity of the two-five

kilometer radius in and around the project site. It clearly indicates the low productive

potential of the terrestrial ecosystem. Since the project associated activities do not required

any additional land, the terrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related

impacts.

8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The main hazardous waste generation will be ETP Sludge + Evaporation Residue, Used Oil

and 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 registered recycler. Discarded Plastic

Bags/Drums will be sold to authorized vendor.

The unit will provide isolated area for the storage of hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste

management system provided by the unit will be adequate and there will not be any major

impact on the environment due to hazardous waste.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared for mitigation of the adverse

impacts. The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management’s plan for

proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for pollutants and for

maintaining the environment. It also include development of green belt, proper safety of

workers, environmental monitoring plan, rain water harvesting, fire protection system and

measures etc. An Environmental Management Cell will be formed for effective

implementation of Environmental Management Plan.

10. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM

Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes in the

environmental impacts at various locations and their mitigative measures. To ensure the

effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring of ambient air quality, stack emissions,

analysis & monitoring of water environment and noise level will be carried out as required /

specified by statutory 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 the hazardous chemicals will

be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines. Personal protective equipment’s will be

provided to the workers.

12. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

A greenbelt of approximately 742 m2

will be developed within the project site to minimize

the air pollution, noise pollution, balancing eco-environment, soil erosion / protection etc.

Greenbelt area is 37.66 % of the total plot area.

13. PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area or community in terms

of infrastructural development, social development, employment and other benefits.

The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled

employees during operation phase. A total of 6 persons are likely to get employment due to

the proposed project. The project gives 2% of project cost for socio-economic development

activities in surrounding villages which will be continued further.

14. CONCLUSION

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air pollution

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 the pollutant

parameters and Environment Management Cell will be set-up to ensure that these

parameters do not exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.

After commissioning of the proposed project, the Environmental Management Cell

will take care of all the pollution control measures.

It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation

measures and environmental management plan during the construction & operational phase,

there will be negligible impact on the environment due to the proposed project.

M/s. Niser Industries has a total land area of 1,970 m2. Out of the stated land area

approximately 742 m2 will be developed as a green belt area (approx. 37.66 % of the total land

area). The land use change/conversation details i.e. Non Agricultural (NA) permission is

attached as Annexure – 2. The total estimated cost of project is Rs. 140 lakh. Total budget

allocation towards Environmental Management Facilities will be approximately Rs. 19.2 Lakh.

1.2 Purpose of the EIA Report

The products like Phenol Formaldehyde Resin, Urea Formaldehyde Resin and Unsaturated

Polyester Resin are newly proposed products (all being synthetic organic chemicals) and fall

under Category 5(f) as stated in Environment Impact Assessment Notification Published on 14th

September, 2006. Further, the location of proposed project is outside the notified industrial

estate and it does not fall in Small Unit criteria as per the Notification dated 25th June 2014. As a

part of this procedure, Public Hearing is also required to be carried out as per the notification

dated 25th June, 2014. Hence, project proponent has to obtain the Environmental Clearance

from the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), New Delhi.

As per the requirements of the notification, an application was submitted to Ministry of

Environment, Forests & Climate Change on 14th February, 2019 along with Form-1, Pre-

Feasibility Report and draft Terms of Reference (TOR). MoEF&CC has issued the TOR vide letter

no. J-11011/52/2019-IA-II(I) dated 24th March, 2019 (Attached as Annexure – 1). Based on

the TOR letter issued by MoEF&CC, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report has been

prepared covering all aspects of the TOR.

The purpose of the preparation of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report is not only to

obtain Environment Clearance from Ministry of Environment Forests & Climate Change, New

Delhi, but also to understand the likely impacts and to take Environment

Protection/Management measures during and after commissioning of the project.

1.3 Promoters and their Background

1.4 Need of the Project and its Importance to the Country

Resins are used predominantly in the wood based product manufacturing industry as adhesives.

Growth of the resin market is strongly correlated to construction/remodeling activity (which

accounts for over 50% of consumption), and to a lesser degree, to the automotive industry.

Phenol formaldehyde resin and urea formaldehyde resin are mainly used as wood adhesives, in

foundry, molding and laminated/decorated sheets1. Unsaturated polyester resins are used

predominantly in making trays, shower stalls, boats, swimming pool, water tanks, etc.

Unsaturated polyester resin is the largest consumed resin, representing 83% of total Indian

composites market. The total estimated consumption of UPR in India for the composite markets

was around 1,55,210 MT in 20182.

In India, good quality raw materials are available at cheap rates, enabling the manufacturing at

low cost. This increases the profit margin as compared to other players in the world. To meet

the current and future market demand, the project proponent intends to start a new unit.

Looking to the market demand, the proposed project is feasible at stated location.

The burgeoning market demands of urban and semi-urban India are estimated at Rs. 5 Lakh

Crore. The demand-supply gap has already attracted foreign players to India; and the e-retailing

boom offers immense business opportunities. But a mere 15% of India's polymer industry is

organized. Its semi-skilled decorators, self-styled interior decorators and small-scale local

1.3

manufacturers need to be trained and organized to meet future market demands and exploit

business opportunities.

Indian polymer resin trade has become global place as the consumption of different imported

plastics or fiber plastics are on the rise. Unlike before, Indians are now welcomed by polymer

resin manufacturers of china. Earlier India was a self-dependent country for commercial or high

quality polymer resins, but sharp drop in domestic manufacturing output has resulted in

material sourcing from countries like Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Vietnam etc. Now

Indian polymer market is somehow curtailed or competed by incoming polymer products from

China. Be it film face, decorative, laminate or everything is now being imported partially or

more and is sold. Indian industrialist must understand the fact that it’s no more a regional shift,

it is a global shift. Indian technology should be upgraded an updated at par with international

standards.

The global phenolic resin market was USD 11.30 billion in 2016, and is projected to reach USD

15.01 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Advanced properties and

increasing demand from tire industry is expected drive the market during the forecast period.

Growth of automotive industry, building & construction industry, furniture market will

generate the great export markets for Indian resin manufacturing units. Also, growth of

applications such as wood adhesives, foundry, molding, laminates and insulation is expected to

offer lucrative opportunities. But as liquid resins are quite expensive for export, we have only

local sale market for distribution.

2.6.2 Urea Formaldehyde Resin


The polymerization reaction of Urea Formaldehyde Resin takes places in two stages. The

first stage is an addition polymerization in which Urea & Formaldehyde (37%) undergo

addition reaction, which takes place in neutral or slightly alkaline condition (i.e., pH – 7.5

to 8.0) at elevated temperature (i.e., 95 °C to 100°C).

Methyl Urea formed in the first stage is allowed to reach further by lowering the pH (i.e., 4

to 6) by addition of acetic acid where reaction takes place faster and leads to the

formation of long chain polymer.

The mixture is heated at a temperature between 80 ˚C and the reflux temperature,

preferably for 15 minutes to 1 hour.

The reaction is allowed to proceed further keeping the temperature at or above 80 ˚C for

achieving the desired viscosity and the reaction is arrested midway by raising the pH of

the resin solution to 7.5 to 8.0 by adding the caustic soda and then the reaction is cooled

down to the room temperature and stored in sealed container.

Check viscosity, tolerance, pH, gel time of the required batch of the resin.

Method – 1 (Using Poly Ethylene Terephthalate as main Raw Material)


A mixture of 1 mole Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) & 1.5 moles Propylene Glycol is

fed to a reactor equipped with stirrer, thermometer and nitrogen gas introducing tube

with condenser.

The mixture is mechanically stirred and heated to 150 ˚C to 170 ˚C under nitrogen gas

stream. When reaction mass become clear, it is allowed to cool at room temperature and

then 0.6 mole Maleic Anhydride (MA) is added and continuously heated up to 200 ˚C – 210

˚C until an acid number reaches below 10.

During esterification reaction water is formed as a part of reaction, which is continuously

removed from the reaction mass as it inhibits the reaction rate.

Then the produced unsaturated polyester resin is cooled to 160 ˚C. Then add 50 mg of

Hydroquinone as inhibitor. When resin temperature is dropped below the boiling point of

reactive diluent (i.e. Styrene), the polyester resins are mixed with Styrene. This mixture is

ready for packing.

CHAPTER - 3

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

3.1 Introduction

Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report requires identifying potential

environmental impacts due to the proposed project and that needs a datum on which the impact

identification can be done. For generating baseline conditions, it is necessary to collect primary and

secondary data for different environmental components like air, noise, water, land, socio-economic

factors, ecology & biodiversity which will be affected by the operation of any project activity.

The objective of establishing baseline conditions is “To compile authentic and relevant information

on the environmental components in the study area, which are likely to undergo change due to the

project-related activities in both the short as well as long term and have potential of causing

environmental impacts.” This necessitates ensuring focus on capturing the information which is

relevant, appropriate, authentic and credible.

The elaborate monitoring for generating baseline scenario is generally preceded by a well-planned

desk work and reconnaissance survey of the study area by the concerned functional professionals

in consultation with the EIA team leader and proper documentation of the observations/findings.

An effective methodology is important for baseline data collection and impacts prediction to

develop an efficient Environmental Management Plan. In this regard, it is important to understand

the ground realities of the core zone and buffer zone by the experts involved in baseline studies.

The team of experts visited the proposed project site to understand the site surrounding and

possible impacts from the activities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation

with the respective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TOR

prescribed by the MoEF&CC. An attempt has been made to collect the relevant and authentic

information about existing environmental conditions concerning the below mentioned six major

environmental attributes:

Air Environment

3.1.1 Baseline Study Area

To carry out Environment Baseline Monitoring and to generate baseline environmental data, study

area of 10 km radial distance from proposed project site has been selected. Base line data of

ambient air quality, water quality, land use & land cover, topography, ecology as well as socio

economic status was collected for study area of 10 km.

3.1.2 Methodology of Baseline Study

For the generation of baseline data, guidelines proposed by MoEF&CC as well as specific TORs

issued by MoEF&CC has been taken into consideration. Relevant secondary data available for

different environmental components were collected and analyzed.

Baseline planning has been described in Table 3-1 in brief.

3.2 Air Environment

Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significant impacts on the

neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms an important part of impact

assessment studies. The ambient air quality status with respect to the study area of 10 km radius

from the plant site will form the baseline information over which the predicted impacts due to the

proposed plant can be super imposed to find out the net (final) impacts on air environment. From

the final impacts a viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the

impact statement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality can be

assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of

monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has to be based 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.

Inclusion of major distinct villages to generate the baseline status.
