0.5 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES AIR ENVIRONMENT

(a) During Construction and Commissioning phase

• Impacts on air quality in form of increase in PM level due to dusting & air borne particle of construction materials during site preparation, demolition of existing structure & construction work. It is recommended that to reduce carryover of particulates from construction area temporary barricading structures the construction site & water sprinkling arrangement should also be provided.

• Impacts on air quality in form of increase in PM, NOx & CO level due to movement of raw material for construction through vehicles and use of fuel fired machines/equipment engaged in construction works. Proper upkeep and maintenance of construction vehicles, machines & equipment should be ensured and machines of idle vehicles & machineries/equipment should be turned off to reduce the emissions.

(b) During Operation phase


Executive Summary Page | i

• Baseline data indicates that Ambient Air Quality is well below the limits as prescribed under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS, 2009) and hence the impacts in terms of change in prevailing ambient air quality status, if not too high can be acceptable for the proposed project.

• In existing operations, the process emissions are generated in the form of HCl, H2S, HC & HCN gas. For which water, alkali & acid scrubbers are utilized. After the proposed expansion, the process emissions will be generated in the form of HCl, NOx, SO2, NH3, H2S, HBr, HC & HCN gas, for which Multi Stage Scrubbers (Acid, Alkali & Water) will be installed in addition to the existing water, alkali & acid scrubbers to control process emissions.

• Fugitive emissions likely to occur during handling & transferring of materials, products & likely to occur from storage tanks. Close handling system will be provided to reduce fugitive emissions.

• In existing operations, the company has already installed 2 nos. of boilers having capacities 850 kg/hr and 600 kg/hr & one D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity. Natural gas is used as fuel in boilers & HSD in D.G. set. After the proposed expansion, the company will install one boiler having 1.5 TPH & one TFH of 4 lakh kCal/hr capacity. After proposed expansion project, existing boilers will be used as stand-by arrangement. Natural gas will be used as fuel after proposed expansion project.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT


• Generation of noise due to excavation work, construction equipment, transportation of equipment and material, installation of plant equipment and machinery etc. may cause hearing problems in workers involved with the activity. Also, it can become source of disturbance to local population. The construction site should be barricaded & excavation activities should be avoided during night time as far as possible to avoid nuisance.


• Increase in ambient noise level during continuous operation of utility installations & manufacturing operations which may give hearing problems, headache etc to employees. The major noise producing equipment will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Noise generating equipment should be mounted on sturdy concrete foundations with proper & suitable rubber padding to reduce noise generation.

WATER ENVIONMENT


• The water requirement for proposed expansion project will be fulfilled by GIDC water supply department. No ground water will be abstract to fulfil the water requirement.

• There would not be any kind of effluent generation during construction phase except sewage generated from domestic activities of construction manpower. However, existing sanitation facilities will be utilized by the construction worker. Thus, it has been manifested that there will be no significant impacts on water in terms of water quality.

• During commissioning phase, temporary impacts on water are mainly anticipated because of water consumption & wastewater generation. It is suggested to commission the project only after provision for management of wastewater from the commissioning phase.


• For the proposed project, the total water requirement will be @1810 kL/day, from which 1650 kL/day will be fresh water & remaining 160 kl/day will be recycled water. The fresh water will be sourced from GIDC water supply department.

• The total wastewater generation from proposed project will be 1030 kL/day.


Executive Summary Page | j

• The total wastewater generated from the existing operations is 441 kL/day (Domestic: 75 kL/day & Industrial: 366 kL/day). The industrial effluent about 441 kL/day effluent is treated in in-house ETP and out of this 320 kL/day is discharged to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea and 121 kL/day is treated in RO followed by MEE. Permeate from RO along with MEE condensate @120 kL/day is recycled as cooling tower makeup.

• After proposed expansion projects, about 1030 kL/day wastewater will be generated (Domestic: 130 kl/day & Industrial: 830 kL/day). The high TDS stream generated from process & scrubber bleed off will be diverted to MEE & organic stripper. The MEE condensate with the other lean streams like domestic, low COD/ low TDS process effluent & plant washing water about 862 kL/day will be treated in in-house ETP. Total 862 kL/day will be discharged to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea.

• Remaining 178 kL/day effluent generated from utility streams like boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown, DM plant & softener plant regeneration will be treated in 2 stage RO system. Permeate from RO @160 kL/day will be recycled as cooling tower makeup & 18 kL/day RO reject will be sent to MEE. From MEE, condensate will be sent to ETP for treatment.

• Thus, looking to the overall scenarios of water consumption & wastewater management, no major adverse impacts on the water environment is envisaged due to proposed project.

LAND ENVIONMENT


• The proposed project is to be established in notified industrial estate of GIDC, Ankleshwar which is designated for industrial use. Hence, there will be no change in the land use/land cover in the study area after the establishment of the proposed project.

• The excavation work, filling of foundation activity & construction work will generate debris and if not properly managed could affect the topography of the site. Demolition & construction solid waste should be collected, segregated, stored and disposed as per the ‘Construction & Demolition Waste

Management Rules, 2016’.


• The secondary impacts on land use-vegetation/plantation area may occur due to PM, SO2, NOx, & HCl generated from project on leaves of plants & tree of the surrounding area. Long term impacts on vegetation may result in loss or reduction in vegetation area or poor quality of vegetation area. To prevent these impacts all necessary mitigation measures suggested for control of emission to be provided.

• Development of greenbelt will generate positive impact.

SOIL QUALITY


• The improper disposal of demolition waste & construction waste may cause impact on the top soil layer. Demolition & construction waste will be disposed as per Construction & Demolition Rules 2016.

• Soil contamination may occur due to spillage of concrete mixture containing additives & plasticizers and construction materials containing heavy metals, paints, coating, liners etc. Proper lining should be provided to avoid soil contamination.



Executive Summary Page | k

• Impact on soil quality due to toxic materials may disturb NPK level of soil. Such increase may result in many changes in quality due to reactivity of the hazardous material mixed with soil due to accidental release. All the operations of material handling, storage and transportation should be done with utmost care and adequate storage & transfer facilities should be provided & maintained.

• The improper storage & disposal of hazardous waste & poorly treated or untreated effluent may increase level of toxic compound in soil. Such toxic compound loading in soil will result in low fertility of the soil of the contaminated area. The company will provide adequate storage area & proper disposal facilities for proper storage of hazardous/non-hazardous waste & effluent generated during operational phase.

• Settling of air borne dust will lead to change in porosity, permeability & other such physical characteristics of soil of the area. Hence, it is suggested to ensure that adequate pollution control devices and measures as suggested for the air pollution should be provided/ implemented.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIONMENT


• The project to be established at notified industrial estate of GIDC Ankleshwar. Hence, no resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) is required.

• Since the project is well connected with the state highway, therefore neither project site nor any part of industrial area will be disturbed during the entire life of the project.

• The air pollution due to the particulates emission from construction activities can have impacts on respiratory system of humans in the immediate vicinity. Barricading structure & water sprinkling arrangement is/will be provided to restrict & control the air borne particulate within the site.

• Maximum number of local people will be employed during construction/ commissioning phase as well as operational phase.


• Impacts on social environment are likely to occur mainly due to the pollution potentials of the project, competing use of water resources, hazardous material handling & storage, hazards associated with hazardous chemical & operations of the project, noise generation, traffic load on local approach road.

• The water will be supplied through GIDC and the wastewater generated during the operations will be treated with adequate treatment facility.

• The hazardous materials & waste will be managed efficiently in line with statutory requirements for hazardous substance transportation, handling, storage & use as well as hazardous waste handling, storage, transportation & disposal reducing issues of public nuisance/ aesthetics.

• Risk Assessment study has been conducted and required mitigation measures are suggested. It is suggested that proponent shall ensure implementation of all safety & disaster/emergency management measures and provision of all safety & emergency facilities which are required to overcome the issue of hazards associated with the project.

• Thus, it is foreseen that impacts on social environment due to the proposed expansion project operation would not be major. The minor impacts on social environment can occur due to occupational hazards which will be managed/ controlled/ mitigated by efficient implementation of safe work procedures, hazard control/prevention measures, emergency action plan and provision of PPEs for all employees etc.

• Social development program will be conduct as the part of CSR activities. • In addition to direct employment, the project will also have potential of indirect employment due to

the increased transportation activities, contractual works as well as opportunity of trade & services.

Effluent from collection sumps at the production units shall be pumped to the Equalization tank of the proposed ETP. The incoming process effluent shall be passed through a Bar screen & held in an oil trap chamber. The equalization tank shall be provided two chambers which work in filling & processing mode.



The contents of the equalization tank shall be agitated with air blowing. The effluent shall thereafter be subjected to primary treatment by coagulation & flocculation to remove the suspended matter & partly reduce the non-biodegradable component of organic matter. Subsequently the primary treated water shall be subjected to biological treatment in an Aerobic two stage Activated Sludge system using diffused aeration. The bioreactors shall be provided with membrane diffusers and air distribution grid located at the bottom of the tank. The air supply shall be by dedicated air blowers. The air supply is required for sustaining aerobic biological activity as well as to maintain the biomass in suspension. The first stage bio-reactor shall be operated under high rate regime while, the second stage bio-reactor is operated under extended aeration. The overflow of the bioreactor shall be passed through the bio-clarifiers to separate the biomass. The biomass is returned to the bio-reactors by re-circulation pumps. The tertiary treatment system will comprise of flocculator and clarifier in a re-activator clarifier for the purpose of polishing treatment to reduce the residual COD, improve the clarity of effluent and remove the turbidity. The treated effluent from the tertiary treatment stage shall be collected in Hold tank and disinfected with chlorine prior to polishing filtration in sand filter unit & ACF unit, & finally discharged to to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea. The excess bio-sludge from primary, secondary & re-activator clarifiers shall be discharged to a sludge thickener tank. The combined sludge shall be thickened & finally all sludge is centrifuged to separate the sludge in a continuous decanter centrifuge unit. There shall be a single front compartmental MCC panel or PLC system in the operator room to operate the plant. The cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown, DM plant regeneration water & softener regeneration water will be sent to RO for recovery. Reject of RO will be sent to MEE. The RO permeate will be recycled for cooling tower makeup. The sludge from ETP & Inorganic salt from MEE will be sent to TSDF for disposal.

Chapter-3: Description of the Environment Page | 3.1

3. Description of the Environment 3.1 PRELUDE Prior to implementation of any major developmental project or expansion of existing project, it is very important to monitor/collect the prevailing environmental quality status of the region, where the project is to be established.

The environmental baseline data collected, helps in identifying the significant environmental issues and assess the likely changes in the environmental quality after implementation of the proposed project. The baseline environmental quality and the predicted impacts also help in determining the mitigation measures that needs to be adopted to maintain the environmental quality of the region. It is therefore, necessary to collect baseline environmental data for different environmental attributes that are likely to be affected due to the proposed activity.

The baseline environmental monitoring study has been conducted for various environmental components like air, water, noise, land use, biological & social environment, as delineated in the awarded TOR by MoEF&CC for the proposed expansion project.

The details of the study for establishment of baseline environmental status are described in subsequent sections of this chapter.

3.2 METHODOLOGY Primary survey at project site and surrounding area (10 km around project site) and the secondary data taken from various sources has been used to derive the baseline environmental setting of the region. The baseline monitoring for soil quality, land use/ land cover, hydrogeological aspects, water quality, meteorology, ambient air quality, noise levels, ecological environment and socio-economic studies has been carried out during the study period i.e. summer season (March’17-May’17) by Precitech Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.

The methodology of data collection is specified in table 3.1 and satellite image of study area is shown in figure 3.1.

3.3 PHYSIOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY AND SOIL 3.3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY

Bharuch District is situated on the Bank of Narmada river, the lifeline of Gujarat. The district is well known for its well-developed industrial estates. Bharuch district is covering an area of 9045 sq. km which has a population of 3069610. It is bounded in the north by Vadodara district, in south by Surat district, in east by Maharashtra state and in the west by the Arabian sea. The district can be divided into three geomorphic units. (a) hilly area in the east (b) alluvial plain and (c) coastal zone. The major perennial rivers of the district are the Narmada and the Kim debauching into the Arabian sea. The northerly flowing Karjan, Amravati and Kaven rivers and southwesterly flowing Bhuki and Bhadra rivers merge with the Narmada river. The area is well connected by roads and rails and experiences about 86 cm average annual rainfall.

3.3.2 GEOLOGY

The Bharuch district comprises mainly of Deccan basalts overlying the infratrappen Bagh formation. The fault-controlled inliers of the Bagh Formation comprise a sequence of thickly-bedded and cross-bedded sandstone, limestone and shale. The deccan volcanic, overlying the Bagh sediments are mainly basaltic in composition with localized occurrences of rhyolite and alkali basalt. The basalts are intruded by swarms of dolerite, basalt and gabbro dykes along ENE-WSW to E-W direction. Small plug-like bodies of basalt and dacite are also present. The Deccan Volcanic are non-conformably overlain by the Tertiary rocks represented by vagadkholi, Nummulite, Tarkeshwar, Baba Guru, Kand and Jhagadia formations in the ascending order of superposition. These formations comprise clay, sandstone, limestone, marl, siltstone and conglomerate. The quaternary sediments have been differentiated in the basis of their environment of deposition. Within the study area they comprise of flood plains deposits of katpur formation representing fluval environment of deposition. The Bouger Gravity anomaly varies between -30 to 0m Gal. the area of the district lies in the moderate risk zone (Zone-III) of seismicity.

3.3.4.3 OBSERVATIONS FROM SOIL ANALYSIS

The following observation are made based on the comparison of test results of soil samples with standard soil classification of Hand Book of Agriculture, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. The standard soil classification is attached as Annexure-12.

The pH of soil was found to be varying in the range of 7.3 to 7.7 which indicates that soil in the area are “neutral” to “moderately alkaline”.

Organic Carbon content ranged was found in the range 0.21% to 0.43% which indicates that organic carbon in soil were “less” in range.

Total Nitrogen was found in the range of 140.4 kg/ha to 216.6 kg/ha which indicates that nitrogen content of soil in the study area is in the range of “good” to “better”;

Total Phosphorous content was found in the range 2.8 kg/ha to 5.7 kg/ha which indicates that phosphorus content of soil in the study area is “Less” in range.

Potassium content ranged was found in the range 264 kg/ha to 309.4 kg/ha which indicates that potash content of soil in the study area is in the range of “good” to “better”.

All the heavy metals were found within the acceptable range.

Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the soil in the study area is suitable for agricultural purposes, however the soil needs to be enriched with some phosphorous enriched fertilizers to upgrade its quality.

3.4 LANDUSE/ LANDCOVER 3.4.1 METHODOLOGY

The project site is located in the GIDC notified industrial area of Ankleshwar. This region has very good infrastructure facility. The resources are also readily available.

3.4.3 OBSERVATIONS

Study area is relatively a flat terrain. Since it is already in a notified industrial area many industrial activities can be seen in the vicinity. The area surrounding the industrial estate is largely an agriculture area covering around 65% of the total study area out of which the cultivated areas are nearly 29.84% while remaining 35.13 % are current fallow or uncultivated areas. Tree cover in the study area is around 0.06% only. The site is nearly 8 km away from the main river which is covering nearly 2.43 % of the study area. Wasteland is 9.91% while road network occupies nearly 6.82% of the total study area which includes Roads (Major & Minor roads), State Highway, National highway way connecting to Ahmedabad. As connectivity to the industrial area there is a railway network available within 10 km



radius of the site, the closest station is Ankleshwar which is approx. 4 km from the site and in just West of the industrial estate. Build-up area in total occupies around 12.67% out of which 3.88% comes under industrial zone, the rest of it being mostly others settlement like residential and commercial areas. Water body, floodplains and canal network occupies the remaining portion of the total study area.

3.5 GEOHYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES 3.5.1 GEOHYDROLOGY

Different types of drainage and stream order are very important for understanding the infiltration and runoff of the water, especially in Perennial River observed near proposed area. These different types of drainage pattern mainly depend on the local geography, geology, structures and tectonics and also it depends on the slope of the area. The area is under the influence of the river Narmada being the main recharging source & controlling the drainage pattern. The study area lies under the basin of this river. The tributaries of this river pass from the north and south of the existing industrial estate. Overall the drainage pattern of the area is dendritic.

3.5.2 GROUND WATER

The principal river draining the area is the Narmada on the NNW side of project site around 10 km away from site.

As per CGWB vide its Ref. book “DYNAMIC GROUND WATER RESOURCES OF INDIA, June 2017 (Data up to 31st March 2013), Ankleshwar taluka falls under safe zone for groundwater exploitation. However, there is no ground water exploitation in the project and its surrounding as the area fall under notified industrial zone.

The geohydrological investigation work carried out in & around the study area reveals that the area is covered with layer of flood plain deposits and sandstone. The ground water in the area is found to occur under semi-confined conditions in shallow aquifers. The depth to water level at places has been found to be around 10 m to 15 m deep.

Water in the Bore wells in the surrounding area of the industrial estate with TDS ranging from 1000 ppm up to 1300 ppm and is used for variety of purposes from domestic drinking, washing clothes to agriculture purposes. The bore well depth within the study area ranges from 250ft to around 500 ft.

3.5.2.1 METHODOLOGY

8 nos. of ground water samples were taken from ground water sources viz. bore-wells, falling in the study area in carboys/glass bottles and preserved as per the techniques explained by APHA in ‘Standard Methods for Examination of Water & Wastewater’. The preserved samples were brought to

the laboratory and analysed. The samples have been analysed as per the procedures specified in ‘Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater’ published by American Public Health

Association (APHA – 22nd Edition) and Bureau of Indian Standards. The methodology for sample analysis was followed as mentioned in Annexure-12.

The details of monitoring locations are given in figure 3.8 and table 3.6.

3.8 NOISE MONITORING The most common and universally accepted scale of measuring noise levels is the ‘A’ weighted scale

which is measured as dB(A). The scale has been designed to weigh various components of noise according to the response of a human ear.

3.8.1 METHODOLOGY

Noise level monitoring was carried out once at each location for 24 hours at hourly intervals, during the study period. The day time limit has been considered between 6 am to 10 pm and night time limit has been considered 10 pm to 6 am. The noise levels were monitored in industrial, commercial, residential and silence zones. Sound Level Meter from Envirotech (Model SLM100 type II dB(A)) was used for noise level monitoring. The methodology for sample analysis has been followed as per the techniques mentioned in Annexure-12.

3.9 ECOLOGY AND BIO-DIVERSITY The term biodiversity is used to refer to life in all its forms and the natural processes that support and connect all life forms. Biodiversity is not easily defined because it is more than just the sum of its parts, as all of its elements, regardless of whether to understand their roles or know their status, are integral to maintaining functioning, evolving, resilient ecosystems. Complex concepts such as biodiversity are often easier to grasp if reduced to their component pieces. While this approach does not give a complete picture of how these species interact and combine to create biodiversity, it helps us understand different aspects of biodiversity.

Species are a complete, self-generating, unique ensemble of genetic variation, capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. They (and their subspecies and populations) are generally considered to be the only self-replicating units of genetic diversity that can function independently.

Thus, biodiversity is the foundation of a vast array of ecosystem services essential for human well-being. Since the exhaustive study would certainly require of one year with one overlapping season. However, this report attempts to comprise the possible macro-biodiversity and the present data produced in the report consist of reconnaissance survey and the database of the areas available in the literatures that have been compared and mentioned.

The Area fall in “Semi-Arid” Biogeographic zone (Code 4) having Biotic province of “Semi-Arid: Gujarat Rajputana” (Code: 4B).

The Area fall in Ecoregion Zone 5 of India described as “Lowland Sub-Dry Ecoregion”. Further, the

area falls in Terrestrial ecoregion of “Khathiar-Gir Dry Deciduous Forests” (UNID 40206) of

biogeographical Realm of “IM”.

The Agro Ecoregions of the area is “Central Highlands (Malwa), Gujarat Plain and Kathiawar Peninsula, Semi-Arid” with soil type of “Medium And Deep, Clayey Black Soils (Shallow Black Soils As Inclusion)”.

This agroecological area is described as “Hot Moist Semi-Arid” area with medium to high available

water content. The average crop growing period is 120-150 Days.

The details of the ecological layout of the study area are presented in following sections and tables.

3.9.1 PROTECTED AREA/ FOREST AREA

Bharuch area is characterized by tropical dry deciduous forests. The total forest area of district is 233.44 sq. km. The study area does not have any identified endangered species also does not have any designated forest, national park, wildlife sanctuaries etc. (Source: forest.gujarat.gov.in).

3.9.2 PLANT BIODIVERSITY

Among the plant biodiversity none of the species belong to IUCN red list. The floral species observed/ reported in the region include 93 types of trees, 18 types of shrubs, 6 types of bamboos, 7 types of grasses, 6 types of agro crops and 5 types of aquatic flora. It is observed that the family Fabaceae is the most abundant family amongst the observed families in the study area.

3.9.3 ANIMAL BIODIVERSITY

The fauna species observed/ reported in the region include 6 types of butterflies, 42 types of avifaunas, 6 types of amphibian, 17 types of reptiles and 13 types of mammals. The list of all observed & reported fauna are given in table-2 of Annexure-14.

Common flora of the region is given as table -1 of Annexure-14 (a). There are two Schedule-I species viz. Flap shell turtle & Common Indian monitor as per Wild Life Protection Act (WLPA) in the study area. The conservation plan of these species is given as Annexure – 14 (b).



3.9.4 AQUATIC ECOLOGY

For the purpose of the aquatic ecology study, qualitative survey of some water bodies for identification of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton have been carried out. The study was conducted once in the study period (summer 2017). Only qualitative assessment for identification of the aquatic flora & fauna has been conducted. The study for determination of aquatic ecological layout of the area was conducted for locations as given in Table 3.17 & Figure 3.13. The samples for plankton study were conducted following the method suggested by NIO & APHA. The samples for phytoplankton were collected using plankton net of 25-micron net size using measured bucket. The samples of zooplankton were collected using plankton net of 200-micron size. For each sample, 30 litres of samples were passed/filtered through the plankton net to collect 100 ml concentrated sample.

The total sex ratio of Surat district (788) and Ankleshwar taluka (882) is more skewed towards male population and in rest areas (includes Project Area) the total sex ratio is above 900 females per 1000 males population. This is because both Surat district and Ankleshwar taluka have industrial hubs with maximum influx of male population for their livelihood. Likewise, total sex ratio, a similar situation also exists for rural sex ratio but for the urban areas, its vice versa except in project area (906 females per thousand males). The proportion of urban population in project area remains second highest (71%) after Surat district (79.7%). The maximum proportion of Scheduled Tribes population is confined to Valia taluka (78.2%) followed by Jhagadia taluka (68.7%). However, the proportion of Literate population is the highest in Surat district (86.6%), and for project area (76.8%) it is vice versa among these areas. While the female literacy rate is modest compared to other areas. The work participation rate is highest in Bharuch taluka (69.9%).

The demography within the project area indicates that the highest population is witnessed in Bharuch town with 169007 persons and lowest in Sharfuddin village with 416 persons, while the average population with in the project area is 7994 persons. The population density is highest in Borbhatha Bet village with 27714 persons per sq.km and the lowest is 46 persons per sq.km in Piprod villages with an average population density to be 1236 persons per sq.km. The total sex ratio in highest in Bhadi village (1050 females per 1000 males) and the lowest is Sanjali CT villages (416 females per 1000 males). The average of total sex ratio in the project area is 904 females per 1000 males. The sex ratio for population of 0-6 cohort in Piraman (Part) village (1234 female per 1000 males) and vice versa in village Sardarpura (407 females per 1000 males) with an average sex ratio (889 females per 1000 males) more inclined to male population for 0-6 cohort in the project area of radial distance of 10 km from the project site.

The proportion of Scheduled Tribes (ST) is more compared to Scheduled Caste. Village Amrutapura has the highest proportion of ST population (98.8%) and lowest in Ankleshwar INA (2.4%) and average ST population in the project area is 19.3%. The proportion of total literate population is highest as



observed in Ankleshwar INA (84.6%) and the lowest is in Samor village (54%), with an average of total literate population to be 76.8%. The proportion of female literacy is just the half of the total literacy rate in the project area. The highest female literacy rate is in village Diva (39.4%) and the lowest 20.7% in Sanjali CT, thereby making average female literacy rate to be 34.5% as indicated in Annexure-15.

3.10.4 TRADE AND COMMERCE

In ancient times, Bharuch was main centre of trade between India and the markets of western Asia. Articles of gold and silver, pearls, dates, wine, cloth, etc. were imported. The exports from Bharuch were going to northern Arabia and Egypt. It included rice, butter, sesame oil, cotton, sugar, muslin and sashes, brass articles, horns, sandal wood, etc.

Being in the centre of a cotton growing tract, Bharuch even now carries on a fair amount of coastal trade with other coastal areas of India and is appreciable amount of inland trade with other trade centers of the country by roads and railways. Main articles of imports in the district are building materials, cereals, pulses, edible oils, jiggery sugar, ghee, tea, salt, spices, kerosene, petrol, textile products, metal sheets, utensils, medicines, etc. The exports consist of cotton, lang (a coarse grain), cotton seeds, vegetables, fish, and handloom and power loom products.

The General Merchants and Commission Agents, known as Kariyana Merchants deal in all kinds of food grains and pulses, jiggery, sugar, edible oil, oil seeds, cotton seeds and lang. Bharuch serve as the chief receiving and distributing centre for the whole of the district. There are regulated markets at all taluka headquarters of the district.

Besides, Gujarat has the distinction of being the first state to enact the Special Economic Zone Act-2004. SEZs are growth engines that can boost manufacturing, augment exports and generate employment and Dahej is a leading SEZ of Gujarat. The Government has enacted Special Economic Zones Act of 2004 - to provide hassle free operation regime and encompassing state of the art infrastructure and support services. Board of approval in Ministry of Commerce and Industries, New Delhi has accorded approvals to 60 SEZs in Gujarat at the end of March -2011. The Total proposed investment by SEZ Developers is around Rs. 267373.45 crore (Gujarat-Census 2011).

While, Surat is mainly known for its textiles and diamond processing industries. The district is emerging as a potential hub for IT/ITeS sector in Gujarat. Hazira and Magdalla Ports in the district provide logistic support to industrial operations in the state. Industrial development in Surat district could be attributed to the presence of a large number of diamond processing, textiles and chemical & petrochemical industries. There are over 41,300 small and medium industries functioning in the district. It is also known as synthetic capital of India. Surat–The synthetic capital of India hosts over 45,000 powers looms and provides over 7 lakh jobs. It contributes 18% to the total manmade fibre exports and 40% of manmade fabric production in India.

Maximum number of (nearly 24,000 units) in small and medium enterprises is related to textile industry in the district, followed by repairing and service industry with more than 11,000 units. Most of the small-scale industries are located in Chorasi (Western Surat), Mangrol and Olpad (Northern Surat), Mandvi (Central Surat) and Palsana (Southern Surat) tehsils of the district. Surat has been very successful in attracting a sizeable amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in various sectors like energy, oil and petroleum. A significant investment of INR 3,000 crore (USD 726 million) in Hazira LNG terminal project is one of the largest Greenfield FDIs in India.

As per district census handbook 2011, the four most important establishments are related to manufacture of (1) Textiles (2) Trading Activities (3) Other and Service Activities and (4) Leather Products. In the year 2009-10, the four most important establishments are related to manufacture of (1) Textiles (2) Machinery and parts except electrical (3) Other Activities and (4) Chemical & chemical



Products. It can be observed that average number of persons employed per day has also increased in 2010-11 as compared to the year 2009-10.

3.10.5 ECONOMIC STATUS

As per 2011 Census, among the registered establishments, the most important establishments are related to manufacture of (1) Basic Metal Industries (2) Service activities (3) Chemical & chemical Products (4) Engineering are largely confined to Bharuch district. While in Surat district, it is related to (1) Textiles (2) Machinery and parts except electrical (3) Other Activities and (4) Chemical & chemical Products. It can be observed that number of establishment and average number of persons working per day has increased in 2010-11 as compared to the year 2009-10. Since Dehaj, Vilayat and Jhagadiya has a industrial hub in Bharuch district, there is large influx of population due to industrialization specially in Dehaj industrial area and adjoining Ankleshwar taluka. The work participation rate of project area, native Vagra taluka, Bharuch district and the State of Gujarat remain near to 40%. This happened, due to steady or slow pace of industrialization in Vagara taluka of Bharuch district in the radial distance of 10 km from the project site.

The percentage of main worker in project area is the highest (99.6%) in Kukarwada village and lowest is in village Naldhari (30.4%), while the average percentage of main worker is 90% in the villages located in the 10 km radial distance from the project site. However, the work participation rate is maximum in the village Untia (67.3%) and the minimum is in village Kharod (27.7%); while the average work participation rate is 35.9% in the villages located in the radial distance of 10 km from the project site. The population largely engaged in service sector (52%); followed by Cultivators (16%). Agricultural Labour (14%); Casual Labour (10%); and Petty Business (9%). The detailed villages’ wise demographic

and work participation status is indicated in Annexure -15.

3.10.6 EDUCATION STATUS

The education status was explored in 10% of the sample villages, which was discussed with Panchayat members or school teacher for adult working population only.

It also includes population having degree of under Graduate and schoolings but are not working.

Table 3.19 shows the rough idea of possible employment opportunity among the industries located in the project areas. It is to be noted that the Skill gaps in the industries for persons having skilled degree jobs are largely fulfill by the urban areas while the persons with unskilled jobs are largely taken up from surrounding villages during construction and operation stage of the industries.

Since Ankleshwar is notified industrial area, most of the workers over here are migrants. Even the highly qualified population largely lives in the nearby Ankleshwar/Bharuch city. Overall, it is concluded that the highly educated people work in Ankleshwar industrial are daily shunting from nearby town. While the working population with graduate/post-graduation degree, are found resident of the villages.

4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts &

Mitigation Measures 4.1 PRELUDE The Environmental Impact Assessment task starts with identification & prediction of impacts and then evaluation of the impacts on the environment due to the project. These involve objective and subjective assessment of the project components, environmental attributes and their interrelationship. Main aim of conducting impact assessment is to establish sustainability of project by ensuring efficient mitigation measures for identified & predicted impacts. In doing so, environmental consequences must be characterized early in the project cycle and accounted for in the project design with necessary mitigation measures. Thus, the objective of EIA is to foresee the potential environmental problems that would arise out of a proposed development and address them in the project's planning and design stage with necessary mitigation to eliminate or minimize the impacts.

The main procedural steps can be summarized as follows:

Identification

This involves identification of the major activities, the environmental attributes, the impacts of the activities on the environmental attributes and formulation of ‘cause & effect’ matrix,

Prediction

This involves prediction of the nature, magnitude and significance of the impacts. It also includes analysis of the possibilities and/or probabilities of occurrences of the impacts,

Evaluation

This involves assessment and designation of the significance to the impacts, formulation of the assessment matrix and helps deriving decision on implementation of the mitigation measures for the anticipated impacts due to the Project.

Communication

This allows for the communication of activities under the proposed project, their impacts, nature, significance, & magnitude of impacts and proposed/ suggested alleviating measures for all probable/ possible negative impacts among:

a) The project proponent; b) The regulatory agencies; c) All stakeholders and interest groups through public consultation, if applicable.

During the present study, efforts have been made by the team of experts engaged in EIA study to identify, predict and evaluate the overall impacts of the project on the various environmental attributes, in line with the MoEF guidelines on Environmental Impact Assessment study and the same has been presented in the successive discussions.



4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTING ACTIVITIES In the inception of impact assessment stage of present study, proposed activities & components which can have probable impacts, have been identified from the project description. For ease of study, the activities have been distributed in four main phases of the proposed project viz. Construction & commissioning phase, Operation phase, Decommissioning phase and Natural calamities. The activities are then categorised under the relevant phase. It is noted that proposed plant site is in seismic zone-3 (moderate zone) & flood zone. Tsunami & cyclones are not observed in study area. The details of the identified impacting activities & components of the construction & commissioning and operation phases are tabulated in table 4.1.

4.3 IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES Impact assessment is an activity designed to identify and predict the impacts on the environment including human health & well-being, physical components and surrounding, taking into account the requirements of legislative policies. Environmental changes, expected out of any physical development, can result in adverse and/ or positive end results.

The activities, under execution of this project, are likely to affect the environment in varying degrees. The relevant parts of the receiving environment have been subjectively singled out, as ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES, and the impact due to various activities on these attributes have been studied. The typical set of environmental attributes and their relative importance, adopted for the present study, has been presented at Table 4.2.

4.5 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES The identified environmental impacts in Section 4.4 belong to different components of the environment. All these impacts need to be aggregated to get a total score of the environmental impact of the proposed project. Such aggregation may however involve considerable subjectivity. In the following paragraphs, procedure of ‘Quantitative Evaluation Matrix’ is followed, as it is a simple and

reliable method. The criteria for evaluation of quantitative matrix are presented herewith:

(a) Negligible Impacts (Score 1): It signifies that the actions have some effect, but it will not cause any quantifiable damage or benefit to the environmental parameters concerned.

(b) Moderate Impacts (Score 2): The activities and their environmental Impacts are judged to be slightly significant or significant but for short term, the score is assigned to be 2.

(c) Significant Impacts (Score 3): If the activities and their environmental Impacts are judged to be significant or reversible, the score is assigned to be 3.

(d) Highly Significant Impacts (Score 4): If the activities and their environmental Impacts are judged to be significant and irreversible, the score is assigned to be 4.

The (+) sign signifies positive impact and (-) sign signifies negative impact on the concerned environmental attributes. The environmental impact evaluation matrix, for the proposed project, without any mitigation measures and with the proposed mitigation measure for all the adverse impacts, have been formulated in subsequent sections. Their respective cumulative impact matrices are presented at Table 4.24 & Table 4.25.



An attempt has been made to predict the significance and magnitude of the identified impacts using logical reasoning and available scientific knowledge. Use of mathematical tools/ models has also been made wherever possible.

The attribute wise details of the task of prediction of the significance and magnitude of the identified impacts are presented in subsequent sections.

4.5.1 AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT

Meteorology, air quality & noise are attributes of ambient environment.

4.5.1.1 Meteorology

No impact is anticipated on meteorological condition of the area due to proposed project.

4.5.1.2 Ambient Air

In existing operations, the process emissions are generated in the form of HCl, H2S, HC & HCN gas. Water, alkali & acid scrubbers are utilized depending upon the gas generated. Bleed off from scrubbers sent to ETP for further treatment.

After the proposed expansion, the process emissions will be generated in the form of HCl, NOx, SO2, NH3, H2S, HBr, HC & HCN gas, for which Multi Stage Scrubbers (Acid, Alkali & Water) will be installed in addition to the existing water, alkali & acid scrubbers to control process emissions. Bleed off from scrubbers will be sent to ETP for further treatment.

Fugitive emissions likely to occur during handling & transferring of materials, products & likely to occur from storage tanks. Mainly VOC are anticipated as fugitive emission. Fugitive emissions are reduced by closed transfer and handling of all hazardous solvents and chemicals

In existing operations, the company has already installed 2 nos. of boilers having capacities 8000 kg/hr, 2 nos. of NG based captive power plant having capacities of 1.4 MW & 2.7 MW, one incinerator and one D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity. After the proposed expansion, the company will install 2 nos. of boiler having 25 TPH & 10 nos. of D.G. Set of 1500 kVA capacity. D.G. Set will act as standby unit incase of power emergency. Natural gas is/ will be used as fuel in boiler & captive co-gen plant and HSD is/ will be used as fuel in DG sets.

To evaluate the probable impacts of emission on air quality, modelling was conducted using the ISCST3 model for stack emissions from the plant and separately for emissions due to transportation. The air dispersion modelling report is attaches as Annexure - 16.



Table 4.7: Identification of Impacts & Mitigation Measures for Ambient Air Environment

Impact Mitigation Fugitive emissions: Hazards occurring in the storage & handling of hazardous chemicals in terms

of fugitive emission may have significant impacts on ambient air quality and there by on human & ecological health due to temporary increase in level of PM, VOC, NH3, HCl, H2S, HCN, SO2, HBr & HC.

Vehicular emissions: Impact on local air quality due to increased frequency of vehicular movement

which may result in increase in PM, NOx & CO due to vehicular emission. The truck/ tanker trips during the operation phase will be around 4 truck trips per day.

Uncontrolled high emissions resulting in temporary increase of pollutants (PM,

SO2, VOC, NH3, HCl, H2S, HCN, SO2, HBr & HC) due to temporary breakdown of control equipment or emergency conditions.

Positive impact on ambient air quality due to greenbelt development.

Air quality is partly attributed to significant increase in airborne pollutants

4.5.1.3 Noise Level

There will be no major activities due to which noise would be generated other than Air compressors, DG sets & pumps. D.G. set will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Noise level generation would be limited to 85 dB(A) within plant. An attempt has been made to model the likely impacts of noise generating sources on the noise environment in the modelling report attached as Annexure-17. From noise modelling studies, it is observed that the predicted incremental values were lower than the baseline values at all receptors. However, there is increase in the resultant noise levels at the project site (R_1) and also at the four corners of the project site (R_10 to R_13). There is no increase in the predicted cumulative noise levels at other locations. All the predicted cumulative noise levels are well within the prescribed CPCB standards.

Hence, though there will be an increase in noise levels within the project site, it will be within the premises and it will not affect the surrounding habitations in the study area.



Table 4.9: Identification of Impacts & Mitigation Measures for Ambient Noise Environment

Impact Mitigation measures Construction & commissioning phase Generation of noise due to construction equipment (like concrete mixture,

For the proposed project, the fresh water requirement will be @1810 kl/day. The fresh water will be sourced from GIDC water supply department.

The total wastewater generation after proposed project will be 1030 kl/day. The total wastewater generated from the existing operations is 441 kl/day (Domestic: 75 kl/day &

Industrial: 366 kl/day). The high TDS stream generated from process is diverted to MEE. The MEE condensate with the other lean streams is treated in in-house ETP and out of this 320 kl/day is discharged to NCTL for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea and 133 kl/day is treated in 2 stage RO. Permeate from RO @120 kl/day is recycled as cooling tower makeup & 13 kl/day RO reject is sent to MEE. From MEE, condensate is sent to ETP for treatment.

After proposed expansion projects, about 1025 kl/day wastewater will be generated (Domestic: 130 kl/day & Industrial: 900 kl/day). The high TDS stream generated from process with scrubber bleed off & RO reject will be diverted to MEE & organic stripper. The MEE condensate with the other lean streams like domestic, low COD/ low TDS process stream & plant washing water about 862 kl/day will be treated in in-house ETP. Total 862 kl/day will be discharged to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea.

Remaining 178 kl/day effluent generated from utility streams like boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown, DM plant & softener plant regeneration will be treated in 2 stage RO system. Permeate from RO @160 kl/day will be recycled as cooling tower makeup & 18 kl/day RO reject will be sent to MEE. From MEE, condensate will be sent to ETP for treatment.



Table 4.11: Identification of Impacts & Mitigation Measures for Water Environment

Impact Mitigation Construction & Commissioning Phase No impact on groundwater as groundwater will not be extracted.

Impact on fresh water resource due to water consumption for curing of

foundations, construction work & domestic purposes etc. However, looking to the moderate construction work for the project and GIDC water supply department as a source of water supply during construction work, impact on water quantity will be negligible.

The impact in terms of water quality due to disposal of domestic wastewater without any treatment through increase in level of BOD, SS & residual chlorine in receiving water resources.

Surface water runoff from site which may carry cement, sand etc. required

for construction will cause increase in turbidity level of receiving water resource by contaminating the GIDC storm water line.

Soil contamination due to spillages of oil/chemicals, vehicle washing areas etc. can cause contamination of groundwater as secondary impact.

As GIDC water supply department will be source of water supply during construction work.

Optimal utilisation of water for construction & commissioning phase to be ensured.

The construction work should be undertaken on existing operating site itself and hence existing sanitation facilities will be used for the disposal of domestic wastewater.

Provision of proper bunds or concrete flooring at storage areas, and vehicle washing areas to be ensured to avoid surface and groundwater pollution by runoff/ spillage.

Operation Phase Significant impacts on water quality, if spillage/ leakage of material,

spillage & catastrophic accident from overhead tank, which can contaminate surrounding water bodies (surface water/ ground water). It may also affect ecological system.

Impact due to water consumption for manufacturing activities, utilities,

domestic purposes & irrigation of greenbelt etc.

Positive impact due to recycle of wastewater after treatment which reduces fresh water consumption. Approx. 10% of fresh water requirement will be recycled.

Contamination of CETP If untreated effluent/ poorly treated water will be

sent to it. If untreated/ poorly treated effluent will be discharged from CETP

Impact Mitigation Construction & commissioning phase The plant layout worked out considering optimum utilization of available

area of open industrial land for the proposed development can be considered as a beneficial impact.

The construction work will generate solid waste and if not properly managed could affect the topography of the site.

Dedicated storage areas should be provided for storage of construction materials/ debris.

Construction solid waste should be collected, segregated, stored and disposed as per the ‘Construction & Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016’.

Operation phase As can be seen from the results of the summary of the Quantitative Risk

Analysis study, the Fatality distance due to Scenario 34 Hydrogen Cylinder Skid Rupture dispersion of 302.25 meter at 0.2068 bar, 369.75 meter at 0.1379 bar and 1551.76 meter at 0.02068 bar. Total of around 2.4% of the total study area falls under these risk scenario threat. (The details of the area that can be affected by the risk scenarios are presented in the figure below and tabulated in the area table. Since other scenarios are of smaller scale and falls within the risk area of Hydrogen risk scenario, only the largest has been considered)

The proposed project may have impact on land use/ land cover due to some activities mainly as secondary impacts arising out due to deposition of air pollutants.

The impacts on land use-vegetation/plantation area may occur due to PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, H2S, HBr & NH3 generated from project on leaves of plants & tree of the surrounding area. Long term impacts on vegetation may result in loss or reduction in vegetation area or poor quality of vegetation area.

Development of greenbelt will generate positive impact.

Collapse of building & structures from earthquake will generate debris and

From the Risk Analysis studies conducted, it would be observed that by and large, the risks are confined within the factory boundary walls in case of fire, explosion and spillage of chemicals.

4.5.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The proposed project is to be in notified industrial estate of GIDC, Ankleshwar which is designated for industrial use. Hence no resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) is required.

Since the Project is well connected with the state highway and there will be no requirement of additional infrastructures, therefore neither project site nor any part of study area will be disturbed during the entire life of the project.

Minor change in traffic pattern is envisaged due to transportation of materials for proposed project.

4.5.4.1 ADEQUACY OF EXISTING ROAD NETWORK

There will be an increase in number of vehicles for transportation of raw-materials, products and fuel through the existing road network due to the proposed project. There will also be an increase in the number of vehicles for movement of additional man-power.

The additional traffic anticipated due to the proposed expansion is given in Table 4.18.

for: Two-wheeler = 0.75, Three-wheeler = 2.0, Car/Jeeps = 1.0, Truck/Buses/Tractors = 3.7 LMW = Light motor vehicles, HMV = Heavy motor vehicles

The maximum PCU on the Rajpipla Chokadi to Project Site after the proposed expansion will be

575 PCUs. The maximum PCU on the NH8 to Rajpipla Chokadi after the proposed expansion will be 784

PCUs.

As per IRC, the carrying capacity of NH8 to Rajpipla Road is 900 PCU and that of the approach road (Rajpipla Road to project site) is 900 PCU. Thus, the existing road-network is capable to carry the additional traffic due to the proposed project.



Table 4.20: Identification of Impacts & Mitigation Measures for Socio-economic Environment

Impact Mitigation Construction phase Impact on human health due to deterioration in local ambient

environment quality due to increase in PM, NOx, CO & noise from construction work, fabrication work, vehicular movement for transportation of equipment. PM may cause lung disease, asthma, CO may block oxygen uptake, Nitrogen dioxide may give respiratory tract irritation and noise may give headache, stress etc.

Unsafe practices during construction work & installation of machineries,

equipment & utilities can lead to accidents/ injury to workers.

Beneficial impacts to economy & positive to economic environment as the proposed project will provide direct and indirect employment to the local population, which will have a positive impact. Approx. 300 workers will be benefited in terms of contractual employment due to the proposed project. This will marginally improve the quality of life of the people in the region.

Vehicular movement for the proposed project on access GIDC roads to

Deccan from NH can cause traffic congestion, if not managed properly.

Barricading should be provided to control transfer of dust outside premises. Also, water spraying should be undertaken during constructions.

All requisite PPEs should be provided for safe execution of work. Covered construction vehicles, PUC certified vehicles should be ensured. Periodic preventive maintenance of transportation vehicles should be

undertaken. All employees / workers should be properly trained / supervised for their

scope of work. All requisite PPEs should be provided for safe execution of work. Medical facilities to be in place for emergency. Preference for direct/contractual employment should be given to the locals

based on their skills and aptitude. Local contractors should be hired. Traffic Management to be done properly.

Operational Phase During operation phase, impacts on social environment may occur

mainly due to pollution of environment, competing use of water resources, hazardous material handling & storage, hazards associated with proposed project, noise generation, traffic generation.

The site is in industrial estate and away from the locality. The water requirement will be met through the water supply network of GIDC. Moreover, Implementation of appropriate pollution abatement and control measures should be ensured.

To control noise levels, necessary mitigation like acoustic enclosures, housing of noise generating machineries in closed area/ room, proper maintenance & lubrication has been proposed by the proponent. Besides, necessary PPEs will be provided to the employees to prevent any kind of impacts on human/occupation health due noise.



Impact Mitigation

The traffic movement would increase marginally after the proposed project. However, the impacts on road network will not be major as the site is well connected with state & national highway network.

The improper storage and handling facilities of raw-materials, products and fuel may result in spillages, contamination or accidents and ultimately damage to the total environment including human health.

The risk assessment study indicates that by and large, the risks are confined within the factory boundary walls in case of fire, explosion and spillage of chemicals. o Fire & explosion Scenario: Potentially lethal (within 60 sec) zone

is up to 25 m & 2nd degree burn (within 60 sec) zone is up to 35 m in worst case scenario.

o Toxic dispersion Scenario: TWA8hr (Permissible Exposure Limit) zone is up to 1500 meters, IDLH is 2800 m in worst case scenario for chlorine gas only.

o Other scenarios are of smaller scale and falls within the risk area of chlorine risk scenario.

Beneficial impact by the proposed project as the direct employment

opportunities will increase which will help in uplifting the economic status of the region. The proposed project will provide direct and indirect employment to the local population, which will have a positive impact. o Approx. 100 persons will be benefited in terms of direct

employment due to the proposed project during regular operation phase.

o During regular operations about 200 indirect un skilled employment will also be generated as helpers for maintenance

Change in population density and diversity through the immigrants may cause certain adverse social changes in the region. Also, social security problems may increase in the community due to influx of population.

Local population will be benefited by the proposed project, as the indirect employment/trade opportunities will increase which will help in uplifting

Post project monitoring should be carried at regular intervals alongwith the regular health checkup of factory workers.

Traffic management to be done properly.

All safety measures to be provided, and all required essential plans to be implemented for emission reduction from storage & handling, safety, disaster & emergency action as mentioned in RA Report for proposed expansion project.

Preference for direct/contractual employment should be given to the locals based on their skills and aptitude.



Impact Mitigation the economic status of the region for the following:

o Transport sector - vehicular movement at stretch to bring the raw material and finished goods to all over India as well export at international level;

o Labour sector: Proposed employment generation from expansion project will be create indirect employment opportunity on labour contract.

Occupational health, employment & traffic movement will get affected

due to collapse of structure, spillage of materials, and breakdown of pollution control measures due to earthquake, cyclone & flood.

Flood can give impacts on occupational health if accidentally spilled material will be mixed with storm water

Social development program should be conducted as the part of CSR.

Demolition waste should be disposed as early as possible.

Plant should be immediately stopped in case of flooding.

Decommission Phase Risk to community health due to dust and noise generation during

dismantling. The site should be barricaded. Provision of PPEs (ear plugs, ear muffs) to all employees/labour involved

4.5.5 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

The proposed expansion project is to be located in notified industrial estate of GIDC, Ankleshwar which is designated for industrial use. Hence, there is no clearing of vegetation required and issue of impacts on ecology due to siting of proposed project is not envisaged.

There is no ecologically important area within the buffer area of 10 km. except the considerable cultivated land and water bodies.

No major considerable impacts on water & land environments are noticed by the proposed project. All impacts studied are found minor & acceptable range except the impacts caused due to emissions & hazards of the proposed project

Considerable impacts are anticipated mainly due to the storage of hazardous raw materials of the project which may occur in terms of chemical & physical structures of ecology as well as toxicological effects on biotic factors of ecology.



Table 4.22: Identification of Impacts & Mitigation Measures for Ecological Environment

Impact Mitigation Construction & commissioning phase Impacts of PM on local Terrestrial flora & fauna (terrestrial & aves) may

occur due to dust generated during construction work.

Also, noise generated during construction phase may create discomfort & hearing problems to fauna (terrestrial & aves) dwelling in vicinity of the site.

Such impacts of dust & noise generation and transportation would occur only for short period and would be restricted within close vicinity of the project site which is situated in the industrial estate devoid of any ecologically important habitat.

No impacts on aquatic ecology are anticipated.

During commissioning phase, impacts due to pollutant release in environment would be considerably higher for a specific period of commissioning time which may affect the terrestrial flora fauna especially due to gaseous emissions from utility, process & fugitive emissions.

In initial stage of this phase, effluent with high pollutant load may find its

way to the aquatic habitat if not managed properly. This may result in considerable impacts on aquatic ecology like increase in Acidity, pH shift to acidic, eutrophication, increase in BOD & COD, decrease in DO. All this chemical change in aquatic habitat may result in unexpected change in ecological balance of the habitat as well as mortality of many aquatic organisms.

The construction site should be barricaded, and water sprinkling arrangement should be provided to restrict & control the dust emissions.

Silencer to be provided to construction equipment. To control noise level provision of necessary mitigation like acoustic

enclosures, housing of noise generating machineries in closed area/room, proper maintenance & lubrication shall be ensured.

Efficient installation & operation of pollution control measures for air, water & hazardous waste should be provided before commissioning.

Operation phase



Impact Mitigation Impacts may occur on terrestrial flora (in case of exposure to toxic

materials) and aquatic flora & fauna if accidental spillage of material get its path to nearby water body during transportation. This may result in considerable impacts on aquatic ecology like increase in Acidity, pH shift to acidic, eutrophication due to HCl increase in BOD & COD, decrease in DO. All this chemical change in aquatic habitat may result in unexpected change in ecological balance of the habitat as well as mortality of many aquatic organisms.

The transportation of materials may also result in impact on the flora and fauna of the transport route due to increase of PM, NOx & CO. This impact is likely to occur only during the case of accident of transport vehicle.

Uncontrolled emission of gaseous pollutants generated from utility, process & fugitive emission may produce secondary pollutant results photochemical smog & abundant sunlight which may create shrivel problem to flora & vision problem to fauna.

The process & fugitive emission would be mainly in form of NH3, HCl, H2S, HCN, SO2, HBr, HC and Fumes/vapour of raw materials & products. These may have chemical specific effects on terrestrial & aquatic habitat. The effects of the products would be significant as these are causing unexpected serious toxicity to lethal toxicity in untargeted exposed fauna if it will be consumed by them which will result in imbalance of the terrestrial & avian ecology of affected area.

Similarly, if the emitted pollutants may settle in water body due to wet deposits, serious toxic effects on aquatic habit may also occur resulting in ecological imbalance of affected aquatic habitat.

Impact (like impaired hearing, hearing loss, pain in head) may occur on terrestrial fauna & avi fauna dwelling near the project site due to high noise.

Impacts on terrestrial flora & fauna due to accidental leakage of untreated wastewater on land resulting in contamination of soil and so flora which may get propagated in food chain.

Contamination of surface water bodies and associated aquatic biodiversity

Proper transport practices and use of suitable vehicles shall be done. All safety measures should be provided and all required essential

plans will be implemented for emission reduction from storage & handling, safety, disaster & emergency action as mentioned in RA Report for proposed expansion project.

Process gases should be scrubbed through multistage scrubbing system.

All liquid raw materials should be unloaded through fixed line and pumps, into the designated storage tanks.

Workplace monitoring should be carried at regular intervals Also, there will be no significant adverse impact on the surrounding

ecological area due to utility & process emissions from the proposed project, as the resultant GLC’s will be well within the stipulated CPCB/GPCB standards.

To control noise level, necessary mitigation like acoustic enclosures, housing of noise generating machineries in closed area/room, proper maintenance & lubrication shall be done.

Utmost care should be taken for control of leakage & spillage.

Proponent shall also provide all other mitigation measures (including



Impact Mitigation may occur, if the untreated effluents will be discharged in it. This may result in considerable impacts on aquatic ecology like increase in Acidity, pH shift to acidic, eutrophication, increase in BOD & COD, decrease in DO. All this chemical change in aquatic habitat may result in unexpected change in ecological balance of the habitat as well as mortality of many aquatic organisms.

The toxic effects causing health issues or lethal toxicity may occur in flora &

fauna (terrestrial & aves), aquatic flora & fauna and ecological habitat, only in case of improper storage and disposal of waste.

All impacts mentioned for other activities would occur at higher or maximum level causing threat to terrestrial, avian & aquatic ecology during the period of breakdown of control equipment which gives uncontrolled release of pollutants.

Beneficial impacts on terrestrial flora & fauna due to increase in plant

species.

During the tenure of natural disaster, major & highly significant impacts are likely to occur in term of toxic effects of the stored hazardous chemicals which may escape from storage facility due to failure/rupture. The toxic effects may vary from chemical to chemical as per their hazardous properties as given in table 7.2 of Chapter-7.

structural & operational) as suggested for prevention of pollution of water.

Solid/hazardous waste management should be done as per statutory requirements/guidelines.

Regular maintenance of pollution control measures shall be done to minimise breakdown of control equipment.

Immediately stop manufacturing process till control equipment will be inline.

Implementation of measures and emergency facilities as mentioned in DMP and Emergency action plan.

Proper arrangements to reduce/elimination of chances of failure of hazardous chemical storage for prevention of escape of chemicals during natural disaster.

Decommissioning Phase The impacts of decommissioning phase would be mainly due to change in

air quality, disposal of untreated wastewater and high noise generation. The impacts would be similar to those mentioned in various activities of construction & commissioning phase as well as impacts of hazard in storage area.

The toxic effects of air pollutant, wastewater and hazardous waste would be higher or maximum.

The site under decommissioning work shall be ensured with all necessary mitigation measures suggested for prevention of emission & water pollution.

Noise reduction measures should be provided.

All tanks and storage area should be cleaned properly and wastewater generated from these activities shall be treated prior to disposal. All solid/ hazardous wastes and chemicals should be disposed of through mode which are permitted as per regulatory provisions.

Chapter-6: Environment Monitoring Plan Page | 6.1

6. Environment Monitoring Plan 6.1 PRELUDE Post-project environmental monitoring is an essential tool for ensuring effective implementation of environmental management plan & mitigation measures. It is also very essential to keep updating the environmental management system for effective conservation of environment along with ongoing project activities/ operation. The environment monitoring plan also gives an early indication, highlighting the need to strengthen the existing environmental management system to enable for improvement & conservation of various environmental attributes. It provides the status on the quality of environment and helps in providing guidance on which environmental attributes, the mitigation measures need to be improved. Hence, monitoring of critical parameters of environmental quality is very essential during the project operations to assess the changes in the environment.

The objectives of monitoring are delineated hereunder:

Monitoring & tracking the effectiveness of Environment Management Plan. Assessment of the changes in environmental quality post project operations and plan

additional mitigation measures, if any.

This chapter discusses various components & aspects of environmental monitoring plan designed for DFCIPL.

6.2 POST PROJECT ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN DFCIPL already has an environmental monitoring programme for various environmental attributes, which is being conducted in and around the plant on a regular basis, since the inception of the plant. The environmental monitoring programme includes stack monitoring, ambient air quality monitoring, water and wastewater quality monitoring and noise level monitoring. The details of the monitoring program post operational phase of the proposed project are given below in Table 6.1.

Table 6.1: Post Project Environment Monitoring Plan

Component Parameter Frequency Treated effluent monitoring

pH, TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, Oil & Grease.

Daily treated effluent from treated effluent tank before disposal

Ambient air monitoring

PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, HC, H2S, NH3 .

Monthly once at 3 locations (within plant premises).

Stack monitoring Utility Stack: PM, SO2 and NOx

Process Stack: HCl, HC, NOx, SO2,

CO2, NH3, H2S, HBr & HCN

Monthly once for all stacks

Noise monitoring Noise levels in dB(A) Monthly once within plant premises and at the boundary of plant.


6.3 BUDGETARY PROVISION FOR EHS The Capex for implementation of Environmental Management Systems will be Rs. 19.81 crores and Opex for environment protection & continual improvement will be Rs. 12.97 crores/annum.

7.4.4 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

The details of probable hazards and consequences analysis for the probable hazards associated with the hazardous materials of the proposed project are described below.

7.4.4.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Risk assessment process rests on identification of specific hazards, hazardous areas and areas vulnerable to effects of hazardous situations in facilities involved in processing and storage of chemicals.

In fact the very starting point of any such assessment is a detailed study of materials handled & their physical / chemical / thermodynamic properties within the complex at various stages of manufacturing activity. Such a detailed account of hazardous materials provides valuable database for identifying most hazardous materials, their behavior under process conditions, and their inventory in process as well as storage and hence helps in identifying vulnerable areas within the complex.

Hazardous posed by particular installation or a particular activity can be broadly classified as fire and explosive hazards and toxicity hazards. Whether a particular activity is fire and explosive hazardous or toxicity hazardous primarily depends on the materials handled and their properties.

7.4.4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS AREA

A study of process as given in the report indicates the following:

All Plants and products will batch process plant. All hazardous liquid raw materials will charged in reactor by pumping, vacuum, gravity or by nitrogen

pressure, etc. Powder raw materials will be charged through hoper in reaction tank. No inventory of any chemicals in process area.

Various raw materials used in the manufacturing processes are listed in Table-7.1. It can be readily seen that raw materials even though hazardous in nature, will be used in small quantities & storage quantities will also very low at process plant. Most of hazardous chemicals are stored in dedicated Explosive license premises. Hazardous properties of the chemicals are provided in Table-7.2.

Hazardous material release scenarios can be broadly divided into 2 categories

Catastrophic failures which are of low frequency and Ruptures and leaks which are of relatively high frequency.

Releases from failure of gaskets, seal, rupture in pipelines and vessels fall in the second category whereas catastrophic failure of vessels and full bore rupture of pipelines etc. fall into the first category.

Table-7.10: Typical failure frequencies

Hoses Rupture 3.5 x 10-2 /m.yr

Table-7.11: Estimated Frequencies of Vapour Cloud Explosion (From Less, 1996):



Table 7.12: Failure rates for pressure storage

Evaluation of Process Areas:

All raw material and finished product will be stored finished product raw material in tank farm area and drum storage area and required material will be charged in process through pump and in close circuit.

Maximum Seven days running products raw material inventory will be kept in drum storage area.

List of chemicals stored in larger quantities is provided in Table- 7.1, hazardous properties are provided in Table-7.2 and Occupational health impact to employees and emergency action plan provided in Table 7.16.

Considering this, the risk analysis and consequences studies are concentrated on below area.

PESO Road Tanker Unloading point PESO Tank Farm storage Area Tank Farm storage Area Drum storage area Warehouse storage area Ammonia, DMA cylinder, Cl2 tonner Storage area.

7.4.4.3 MODES OF FAILURE

Liquid release due to catastrophic failure of storage vessel or road tanker. Liquid release through a hole/crack developed at welded joints/flanges / nozzles / valves etc. Vapour release due to exposure of liquid to atmosphere in the above scenarios. Gas release due to catastrophic failure of Ammonia cylinder or outlet valve/line failure.



Event Causes Tank on Fire/ - Catastrophic failure of tank + Ignition availability Pool fire - Failure of liquid outlet line + Ignition availability Fire Ball/BLEVE Flash Fire UVCE

- Catastrophic failure of road tanker/ storage tank Vapour generation due to substrate and wind Vapour cloud generation and about 15 % of total vapour mass Above the UEL-LEL % Ignition availability

Toxic gas dispersion - Toxic Gas release due to catastrophic failure of tonner/bullet/ Tanks and ignition not available within LEL- UEL range.

Considering the quantity of storages & nature of Toxic nature and Flammable storage, following scenarios were taken up for detailed analysis & safe distances computed:

Failure cases considered for consequence analysis are representative of worst-case scenarios. Probability of occurrence of such cases is negligible (less than 1 x 10-6 per year) because of strict adherence to preventive maintenance procedures within the complex. General probabilities for various failure is provided in Table-7.9, 7.10 and 7.11, but consequences of such cases can be grave & far reaching in case such systems fail during life history of the company. Hence such scenarios are considered for detailed analysis. It is to be noted however that such situations are not foreseeable or credible as long as sufficient measures are taken. Also, consequence analysis studies help us evaluate emergency planning measures of the Company.

Consequence assessment is conducted to understand the impact of identified scenarios in terms of Thermal radiation (Jet fire, Flash Fire), Explosion (vapor cloud explosion- UVCE). A range of potential consequences are assessed for each of the release scenarios identified. This step identifies the fatality probability, based on hazard type and caused by each release case, to personnel at a range of distances.

Estimate of damage or impact caused due to thermal radiation, explosion overpressure and toxic effects is generally based on the published literature on the subject. The actual potential consequences from these likely impacts can then be visualized by superimposing the damage effect zones on the proposed layouts and identifying the elements within the project which might be adversely affected, should one or more hazards materialize in practice. The damage criteria used in the present study is described in the following sections.

7.4.4.5 DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR HEAT RADIATION

Damage effects vary with different scenarios. Calculations for various scenarios are made for the above failure cases to quantify the resulting damages.

The results are translated in term of injuries and damages to exposed personnel, equipment, building etc.

Tank on fire /Pool fire due to direct ignition source on tank or road tanker or catastrophic failure or leakage or damage from pipeline of storage facilities or road tanker unloading arm, can result in heat radiation causing burns to people depending on thermal load and period of exposure.

All such damages have to be specified criteria for each such resultant effect, to relate the quantifier damages in this manner, damage criteria are used for Heat Radiation.

7.4.4.6 EXPLOSION/ OVER PRESSURE

In case of vapour cloud explosion, two physical effects may occur: A flash fire over the whole length of the explosive gas cloud; A blast wave, with typical peak overpressures circular around ignition source.

7.4.4.7 EFFECTS OF RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

Hazardous substances may be released as a result of failures / catastrophes, causing possible damage to the surrounding area. In the following discussion, an account is taken of various effects of release of hazardous substances and the parameters to be determined for quantification of such damages.

In case of release of hazardous substances the damages will depend largely on source strength. The strength of the source means the volume of the substance released. The release may be instantaneous or semi-continuous. In the case of instantaneous release, the strength of the source is given in kg and in semi-continuous release the strength of the source depends on the outflow time (kg/s.).

In order to fire the source strength, it is first necessary to determine the state of a substance in a vessel. The physical properties, viz. Pressure and temperature of the substance determine the phase of release. This may be gas, gas condensed to liquid and liquid in equilibrium with its vapour or solids.

Instantaneous release will occur, for example, if a storage tank fails. Depending on the storage conditions the following situations may occur.

The source strength is equal to the contents of the capacity of the storage system.

In the event of the instantaneous release of a liquid a pool of liquid will form. The evaporation can be calculated on the basis of this pool.

FIRE

Jet Fire:

Jet fire causes damage due to the resulting heat radiation. The working level heat radiation impact will vary widely depending on the angle of the flame to the horizontal plane, which mainly depends on the location of the leak. The flame direction was considered horizontal for consequence analysis of leaks and ruptures from process equipment. Jet fire heat radiation impacts were estimated for the identified credible and worst case scenarios.

Upon accidental leakage, the pressurized fluid will disperse as a jet, initially moving forward in the spatial direction of the leak till the kinetic energy is lost and gravity slumping or lifting of the cloud occurs, dependent upon whether the fluid is heavier or lighter than air.

Tank on Fire/Pool Fire:

In the event of the instantaneous release of a liquid a pool of liquid will form. The evaporation can be calculated on the basis of this pool.



The heat load on object outside a burning pool of liquid can be calculated with the heat radiation model. This model uses average radiation intensity, which is dependent on the liquid. Account is also taken of the diameter-to-height ratio of the fire, which depends on the burning liquid. In addition, the heat load is also influenced by the following factors:

Distance from the fire The relative humidity of the air (water vapour has a relatively high heat-absorbing capacity) The orientation i.e. horizontal/vertical of the objective irradiated with respect to the fire.

Flash Fire:

The vapour / gas release from a pool would disperse under the influence of the prevailing wind; with material concentration in air reducing with distance. At a particular location downwind, the concentration will drop below its lower flammable level (LFL) value. If ignited within the flammable envelope, the mass of the material available between the LFL and ½ LFL will be likely to burn as a flash fire; rapidly spreading through the cloud from the point of ignition back to the source of release.

Although flash fires are generally low intensity transitory events, the burning velocity is quite high and escape following ignition is not possible. Flash fires often remain close to the ground, where most ignition sources are present. It is assumed that personnel caught inside a flash fire will not survive while those outside suffer no significant harm. If other combustible material is present within the flash fire it is also likely to ignite and a secondary fire could result.

Explosion:

Late Explosion (UVCE):

The magnitude of the vapour cloud explosion is dependent on the size of the gas cloud that has formed and the degree of congestion in the area, as these determine the acceleration of the flame front.

The TNO GAMES model is used for modelling of vapour cloud explosions, as the model incorporates the characteristics of the explosion, such as the type of fuel, its reactivity, the effect of obstacles in the congested region, etc. Turbulence is the governing factor in blast generation, which could intensify combustion to the level that will result in an explosion. Obstacles in the path of vapour cloud or when the cloud finds a confined area, as under the bullets, often create turbulence. Insignificant level of confinement will result in a flash fire. The VCE will result in overpressures.

It may be noted that VCEs have been responsible for very serious accidents involving severe property damage and loss of lives. Vapour Cloud Explosions in the open area with respect to Pure Methane is virtually impossible due to their lower density.

Ball Fire / BLEVE:

This happens during the burning of liquid, the bulk of which is initially over rich (i.e. above the upper flammable limit.). The whole cloud appears to be on fire as combustion is taking place at eddy boundaries where air is entrained (i.e. a propagating diffusion flame). The buoyancy of the hot combustion products may lift the cloud form the ground, subsequently forming a mushroom shaped cloud. Combustion rates are high and the hazard is primarily thermal.

7.4.5 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

In the risk analysis study, probable damages due to worst case scenarios were quantified and consequences were analyzed with object of emergency planning. Various measures taken by the company and findings of the study were considered for deciding acceptability of risks.

MCA assume maximum inventory of hazardous chemicals and worst weather condition prevailing at the time of failure. Further, no credit is given for the safety features provided in the facility to determine



maximum possible damage from the scenario selected. In reality, leakage of hazardous chemical will be smaller in magnitude. Also the leakage will be detected immediately by plant operating staff then initiate various mitigation measures to prevent any disastrous situation.

7.4.6 CONCLUSIONS

Flash Fire Cases

Flash Fire is usually dispersion case, where the extent of cloud until the flammability limits (LEL, UEL) is measured. The important factor in measuring the extent of cloud is atmospheric stability & wind speed. As the wind speed increases, the cloud tends to move further down & gets diluted which results in lower quantity of material in the flammability limits i.e. lower strength of flash fire. The highest damage distances for flash fire are for isolatable is Scenario 2 Methanol 20 KL Road Tanker Catastrophic Rupture at 1.5F weather condition. The maximum damage distance for Flash Fire is 113.30 meter (0.073 F) & 211.53 meter



(0.0365 F) – 1.5F of whether condition. UFL is defined as burning zone, which means people caught within the burning zone are exposed to a fatality rate of 100%.

Source: * Figure taken from District Census Hand book of Bharuch & Surat district 2011; ** Field survey data from FGDs in 10% of villages. It also includes population having degree of under Graduate and schoolings but are not working.

The above table shows that the proximity of industrial units in Ankleshwar, Kosamba, Bharuch, Surat, Kim etc. tends the population more towards service sector. Table 8.1 shows that on an average about, 52% of working population are engaged in service sector and are resident of urban area for high skilled jobs and the villages near urban areas are largely occupied with the un-skilled service sector jobs. The causual labour fluctuate inbetween agriculture and industrial sector.

Owing to the pattern of employment existing in the area and the proposed demand of manpower for the expansion within the factory premises, it is suggested that the proponent should employ highly skilled manpower from urban areas, while mid level technorates from both urban as well rural areas and unskilled workforce are mostly from rural areas.

8.2 CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT RESPOSIBILITY The total cost of the project is Rs. 437.7 Crores and the company has proposed to allot about 0.81% of the budget for the CER activities, which comes around Rs. 3.55 crores.

11.5 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES AIR ENVIRONMENT


Impacts on air quality in form of increase in PM level due to dusting & air borne particle of construction materials during site preparation, demolition of existing structure & construction work. It is recommended that to reduce carryover of particulates from construction area temporary barricading structures the construction site & water sprinkling arrangement should also be provided.

Impacts on air quality in form of increase in PM, NOx & CO level due to movement of raw material for construction through vehicles and use of fuel fired machines/equipment engaged in construction works. Proper upkeep and maintenance of construction vehicles, machines & equipment should be ensured and machines of idle vehicles & machineries/equipment should be turned off to reduce the emissions.


Baseline data indicates that Ambient Air Quality is well below the limits as prescribed under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS, 2009) and hence the impacts in terms of change in prevailing ambient air quality status, if not too high can be acceptable for the proposed project.

In existing operations, the process emissions are generated in the form of HCl, H2S, HC & HCN gas. For which water, alkali & acid scrubbers are utilized. After the proposed expansion, the process emissions will be generated in the form of HCl, NOx, SO2, NH3, H2S, HBr, HC & HCN gas, for which Multi Stage Scrubbers (Acid, Alkali & Water) will be installed in addition to the existing water, alkali & acid scrubbers to control process emissions.

Fugitive emissions likely to occur during handling & transferring of materials, products & likely to occur from storage tanks. Close handling system will be provided to reduce fugitive emissions.

In existing operations, the company has already installed 2 nos. of boilers having capacities 850 kg/hr and 600 kg/hr & one D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity. Natural gas is used as fuel in boilers & HSD in D.G. set. After the proposed expansion, the company will install one boiler having 1.5 TPH & one TFH of 4 lakh kCal/hr capacity. After proposed expansion project, existing boilers will be used as stand-by arrangement. Natural gas will be used as fuel after proposed expansion project.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT


Generation of noise due to excavation work, construction equipment, transportation of equipment and material, installation of plant equipment and machinery etc. may cause hearing problems in workers involved with the activity. Also, it can become source of disturbance to local population. The construction site should be barricaded & excavation activities should be avoided during night time as far as possible to avoid nuisance.


Increase in ambient noise level during continuous operation of utility installations & manufacturing operations which may give hearing problems, headache etc to employees. The major noise producing equipment will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Noise generating equipment should be mounted on sturdy concrete foundations with proper & suitable rubber padding to reduce noise generation.

WATER ENVIONMENT


The water requirement for proposed expansion project will be fulfilled by GIDC water supply department. No ground water will be abstract to fulfil the water requirement.



There would not be any kind of effluent generation during construction phase except sewage generated from domestic activities of construction manpower. However, existing sanitation facilities will be utilized by the construction worker. Thus, it has been manifested that there will be no significant impacts on water in terms of water quality.

During commissioning phase, temporary impacts on water are mainly anticipated because of water consumption & wastewater generation. It is suggested to commission the project only after provision for management of wastewater from the commissioning phase.


For the proposed project, the total water requirement will be @1810 kL/day, from which 1650 kL/day will be fresh water & remaining 160 kl/day will be recycled water. The fresh water will be sourced from GIDC water supply department.

The total wastewater generation from proposed project will be 1030 kL/day. The total wastewater generated from the existing operations is 441 kL/day (Domestic: 75 kL/day &

Industrial: 366 kL/day). The industrial effluent about 441 kL/day effluent is treated in in-house ETP and out of this 320 kL/day is discharged to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea and 121 kL/day is treated in RO followed by MEE. Permeate from RO along with MEE condensate @120 kL/day is recycled as cooling tower makeup.

After proposed expansion projects, about 1030 kL/day wastewater will be generated (Domestic: 130 kl/day & Industrial: 830 kL/day). The high TDS stream generated from process & scrubber bleed off will be diverted to MEE & organic stripper. The MEE condensate with the other lean streams like domestic, low COD/ low TDS process effluent & plant washing water about 862 kL/day will be treated in in-house ETP. Total 862 kL/day will be discharged to NCT for final treatment & ultimate disposal to deep sea.

Remaining 178 kL/day effluent generated from utility streams like boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown, DM plant & softener plant regeneration will be treated in 2 stage RO system. Permeate from RO @160 kL/day will be recycled as cooling tower makeup & 18 kL/day RO reject will be sent to MEE. From MEE, condensate will be sent to ETP for treatment.

Thus, looking to the overall scenarios of water consumption & wastewater management, no major adverse impacts on the water environment is envisaged due to proposed project.

LAND ENVIONMENT


The proposed project is to be established in notified industrial estate of GIDC, Ankleshwar which is designated for industrial use. Hence, there will be no change in the land use/land cover in the study area after the establishment of the proposed project.

The excavation work, filling of foundation activity & construction work will generate debris and if not properly managed could affect the topography of the site. Demolition & construction solid waste should be collected, segregated, stored and disposed as per the ‘Construction & Demolition Waste

Management Rules, 2016’.


The secondary impacts on land use-vegetation/plantation area may occur due to PM, SO2, NOx, & HCl generated from project on leaves of plants & tree of the surrounding area. Long term impacts on vegetation may result in loss or reduction in vegetation area or poor quality of vegetation area. To prevent these impacts all necessary mitigation measures suggested for control of emission to be provided.

Development of greenbelt will generate positive impact.



SOIL QUALITY


The improper disposal of demolition waste & construction waste may cause impact on the top soil layer. Demolition & construction waste will be disposed as per Construction & Demolition Rules 2016.

Soil contamination may occur due to spillage of concrete mixture containing additives & plasticizers and construction materials containing heavy metals, paints, coating, liners etc. Proper lining should be provided to avoid soil contamination.


Impact on soil quality due to toxic materials may disturb NPK level of soil. Such increase may result in many changes in quality due to reactivity of the hazardous material mixed with soil due to accidental release. All the operations of material handling, storage and transportation should be done with utmost care and adequate storage & transfer facilities should be provided & maintained.

The improper storage & disposal of hazardous waste & poorly treated or untreated effluent may increase level of toxic compound in soil. Such toxic compound loading in soil will result in low fertility of the soil of the contaminated area. The company will provide adequate storage area & proper disposal facilities for proper storage of hazardous/non-hazardous waste & effluent generated during operational phase.

Settling of air borne dust will lead to change in porosity, permeability & other such physical characteristics of soil of the area. Hence, it is suggested to ensure that adequate pollution control devices and measures as suggested for the air pollution should be provided/ implemented.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIONMENT


The project to be established at notified industrial estate of GIDC Ankleshwar. Hence, no resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) is required.

Since the project is well connected with the state highway, therefore neither project site nor any part of industrial area will be disturbed during the entire life of the project.

The air pollution due to the particulates emission from construction activities can have impacts on respiratory system of humans in the immediate vicinity. Barricading structure & water sprinkling arrangement is/will be provided to restrict & control the air borne particulate within the site.

Maximum number of local people will be employed during construction/ commissioning phase as well as operational phase.


Impacts on social environment are likely to occur mainly due to the pollution potentials of the project, competing use of water resources, hazardous material handling & storage, hazards associated with hazardous chemical & operations of the project, noise generation, traffic load on local approach road.

The water will be supplied through GIDC and the wastewater generated during the operations will be treated with adequate treatment facility.

The hazardous materials & waste will be managed efficiently in line with statutory requirements for hazardous substance transportation, handling, storage & use as well as hazardous waste handling, storage, transportation & disposal reducing issues of public nuisance/ aesthetics.

Risk Assessment study has been conducted and required mitigation measures are suggested. It is suggested that proponent shall ensure implementation of all safety & disaster/emergency management measures and provision of all safety & emergency facilities which are required to overcome the issue of hazards associated with the project.



Thus, it is foreseen that impacts on social environment due to the proposed expansion project operation would not be major. The minor impacts on social environment can occur due to occupational hazards which will be managed/ controlled/ mitigated by efficient implementation of safe work procedures, hazard control/prevention measures, emergency action plan and provision of PPEs for all employees etc.

Social development program will be conduct as the part of CSR activities. In addition to direct employment, the project will also have potential of indirect employment due to

the increased transportation activities, contractual works as well as opportunity of trade & services.

ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT


The project to be established at notified industrial estate of GIDC Ankleshwar. The land is designated for industrial purpose. Hence, issue of impacts on ecology due to siting of proposed project is not envisaged.

There is no ecologically important area within the buffer area of 10 km. except the considerable patches of reserve forest area, cultivated land and water bodies.

No major considerable impacts on water & land environments are noticed by the proposed expansion project. All impacts studied are found minor & acceptable range.

During construction phase very minor impacts on local flora and fauna would occur due to dusting, noise and transportation activities as the project is sited in industrial estate.

Such impacts of dust & noise generation and transportation would occur only for short period and would be restricted within close vicinity of the project site which is situated in the industrial estate devoid of any ecologically important habitat.


As observed, emission from project would not be significant due to use of cleaner fuel i.e. Natural Gas in utility. Adequate height will be provided by the proponent to meet the emission up to prescribed norms generated from the utilities.

Proponent shall also provide all other mitigation measures (including structural & operational) as suggested for prevention of pollution of Air, Water, Land/Soil and Noise.

Adequately designed closed storage facilities will be provided to reduce the chances of emission of the hazardous materials from storage area.

All safety measures will be provided, and all required essential plans will be implemented for emission reduction from storage & handling, safety, disaster & emergency action as mentioned in RA Report for proposed expansion project.

Dense greenbelt development around & within premises will be ensured in as much area as possible.

Night transportation will be prevented/avoided.

Contribution should be made to ecological welfare & forest development activities conducted by Govt. Organization, NGOs and other such organizations.

Regular monitoring of Valued Environmental Components as per Environmental Monitoring Programs designed for the project.

11.6 POST PROJECT MONITORING PLAN As a part of EIA study, a post-project monitoring plan has been prepared and necessary suggestion & guidelines for post project monitoring are provided therein. The capital cost for proposed project will be Rs. 4376.70 crores. The CAPex for implementation of environment management system will be Rs. 19.81 Crores and OPex for environment protection and continuous improvement will be Rs. 1296.25 lakhs/annum. Post project monitoring plan covers sampling & analysis of water, air, emission,



wastewater, noise, hazardous wastes. The environmental compliance report will be prepared and submitted as per the regulatory guidelines.

11.7 ADDITIONAL STUDIES The Risk Assessment study involving consequence analysis related to Fire/ toxic dispersion due to storage/ handling of specific hazardous chemicals has been carried out. Accordingly, a Disaster Management Plan has been prepared. The suggestions cited in RA report should be implemented for fire & explosion hazard prevention, emergency management, other potential occupational health hazard prevention, safety gear etc. A Safety & environment management cell has to manage the responsibilities delineated to the cell.

The proposed expansion will be set up in existing site and land just across the road to the existing premises, which is located in notified industrial estate of GIDC Ankleshwar, hence there will not be any resettlement & rehabilitation due to the proposed project. Therefore, R&R study has not been conducted for the proposed project.

Public consultation is not applicable to the proposed project. Public Hearing has been exempted as per Section 7(i), III Stage (3), Para (i) (b) of the EIA Notification 2006 as the proposed project will be sited in a notified industrial estate of GIDC Ankleshwar.

11.8 PROJECT BENEFITS The proposed products manufacturing in the country will be very much economical compare to imports of the same and also the export of the same will earn extra revenue generation for our country. The proposed products have huge demand in the domestic as well as international market. From the proposed project, employment opportunities will be generated directly as well as indirectly. Local people will be benefited from the proposed project. Additional 300 persons will be employed from the proposed project.

The construction and commissioning phase will require a substantial man-power and resources. The unit proposes to employ local contractual services for these phases. Hence, with the growth in the economic conditions the project may lead to growth in the social stature & improvement of the quality of life in the surrounding area.

The total cost of current expansion is Rs. 437.6 Crores and about 3.55 crores i.e. 0.81% they have allocated for CER Programs. The entire amount would be spending in 5 years.

11.9 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Environmental Management Plan has been formulated as a part of the EIA study. The major issues of predicted impacts of proposed expansion project have been considered for delineation of necessary action plan. The EMP has been formulated considering all necessary mitigation measures to prevent/minimization/elimination of environmental impacts as well implementation and responsibilities. Necessary action plans for ecological conservation & welfare, social upliftment by CER, greenbelt development, energy efficiency & conservation and resources conservation through “Cleaner

Production Activities” have been covered in the EMP prepared for the proposed project.

11.10 CONCLUSION As evaluated and shown at Chapter 4, the cumulative value of significance of the project, in terms of the impacts on the environment, without mitigation measures and with mitigation measures works out to be, (-) 31.60 and (-) 8.00 respectively, which indicates that with the implementation of the mitigation measures, the negative impacts of the project can be reduced significantly and brought down to acceptable level.

The proponent of the project has agreed to proceed in line with the EIA agency’s comments and

suggestions to mitigate the adverse impacts to the most techno-economically viable extent.
