2.7 Give details of the water requirements met form water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created.

The water harvesting will help in raising the ground water table.

Rainwater Water Harvesting: The rainwater shall be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface/underground drainage network. The entire area shall be sub divided for recharging structures. It has been proposed to provide desilting tanks and recharge wells for the desired purpose. The rainwater will be diverted into the desilting tank to remove impurities and the outflow of the desilting tank will be taken into the recharge well. Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface layer of coarse sand to allow standing water to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these desilting chambers shall also be used for horticulture use. The recharge well consists of length 6 m, breath 3.1 m and depth 3 m. 160 mm dia perforated PVC pipe will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be filled in 3 layers of 500mm each consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. The quantity of annual harvested rainfall at the project site at present is 2292.42 cum. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 50 mm/hr for designing of rainwater harvesting pit. 12 recharge pits of length 6 m, breath 3.1 m and depth 3 m are proposed.

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?

At present the site is barren land. Due to the construction of building and road paved area will increase thereby the run off will increase quantitatively but no qualitative change is expected. No flooding & water logging is expected due to the proposed project.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any. During construction and operation phase, ground water will be abstracted for various usages. The project site falls under the ground water level more than 20 m gbl in Pre-Monsoon season and 15-20 m gbl during post monsoon season. Hydro geological data indicates that the area is underlain by deposits of high porosity and permeability, with excellent recharge capacity. The approval from competent authority will be taken if need be.



Form 1A

2.10 What precautions / measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts)

During the construction phase, surface & ground water quality may get affected due to soil erosion from excavated area during rains leading to generation of wastewater. Construction site run-off (wastewater) would be routed through catch pit/ sedimentation basin prior to final / ultimate disposal. The impact on land and ground water quality will be minimized by adopting following measures: • Excavation during dry season only and proper management of excavated soils • Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains • Covering of waste storage areas • Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season • Secondary containment and dykes in fuel/oil storage facilities • Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness • Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage • Provision of silt traps in storm water drains

2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels)

The project site level is plain. Adequate storm water channel will be provided at the site to provide proper drainage facilities and to avoid flooding at the site and in area. A storm drainage system will be laid. The storm drains will collect, convey and dispose to natural drainage system.

2.12 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation) No, the deployment of construction laborers will not lead to any unsanitary conditions as all the necessary precautions will be taken including provision of mobile toilet. The facilities to be provided at the labour camp include the following: • During construction phase, mobile toilet will be provided. Hence there is no possibility of unsanitary

conditions around the project site • Regular segregation and disposal of solid waste generated by these workers as per local practices • Proper housekeeping will be maintained throughout the premises • First aid and medical facilities will be provided to all the concerned people working on the site.

2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal) Approximately 1458 KLD of wastewater will be generated during the operation phase of the project which will be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant of 2000 KLD. It is expected that approximately 1312 KLD of treated



Form 1A

sullage will be recovered from the STP which will be recycled for horticulture and flushing within the project premises surplus. Surplus treated water 772 KLD (during non-rainy season) and 803 KLD (during rainy season) will be used at nearby construction site and discharged to the municipal sewer. The STP will be based on MBBR Technology.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated wastewater is used for flushing of toilets or any other use

Dual Plumbing will be provided for flushing of toilets, landscaping and miscellaneous activities.

33.. VVEEGGEETTAATTIIOONN 3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem with its unique features, if any)

No, threat on bio-diversity is envisaged due to proposed project. No major forest land exists in its vicinity and no ecologically important habitats were observed in the study area (Nearest wildlife sanctuary is Okhla Bird sanctuary which is about 6.9km away in SW direction from the project site) of the project.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project) The proposed site is earmarked for residential development and therefore it is devoid of any vegetation. So the project will not involve clearing or modification of vegetation.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?

As the project does not involve clearing of any vegetation, therefore the project is not expected to cause any major impact on the vegetation structure. Moreover, the project has proposed development of greenbelt over an area of 32,290.651 m2 which, apart from creating an aesthetic effect, will also make the environment clean and healthy. The species for green belt development has been selected according to the existing climate and soil type. The following species of trees and shrubs have been recommended for greenbelt development (Table 18).

44.. FFAAUUNNAA 4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details.

The proposed site is earmarked for residential development. The site is free from any major vegetation. The site is surrounded by residential areas, educational institutes and barren land. NH-91 is passing at a mere distance of 3.0 km from the project site. Due to high interaction of the people in the area, site is free from any major fauna. Therefore, no displacement of fauna and their movement is envisaged by the proposed project. PROJECT PROPONENT: ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT: Supertech Limited Greencindia Consulting Private Limited


Form 1A

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.

Since the activities involved in a construction project are mainly confined to the project site, therefore the project is not expected to cause any direct impact on avifauna of the area. Moreover, the solid waste generated from the project during construction and operation phase will be properly segregated and disposed/treated as per prescribed norms. Hence the project will not cause any indirect impact on avifauna of nearby area.

4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc. to mitigate adverse impacts on fauna.

No interface with the fisheries activity and/or fauna is envisaged. Hence, no mitigation is required.

55.. AAIIRR EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT 5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)

The proposed project will be developed at Plot no 06, Sector 16B, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh over an area of 85.20 ha. The proposed development may create some air pollution during construction phase due to emission of fugitive dust and during operation phase due to operation of DG sets. However, efforts have been made to maintain a green layer wherever possible. This green layer will help in reduction of air pollution associated with development activities of the project. The green cover and landscaping will further improve the atmospheric concentration of the surroundings. The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at different locations in the study area shown in Table 19 & Figure No 1a.13.

The average meteorological data of Dec month was considered as met input for model study. The 24-hourly contribution to GLCs (Ground Level Concentrations) from the pollutants (PM, SO2, NO2 and CO) was predicted over the study area due to the continuous emissions from the generators sets and considering

The impacted GLCs were also superimposed on baseline monitored GLCs to assess the resultant GLCs in worst scenario.

As observed from modeling study and incremental concentration isopleths, the maximum project impact will be limited upto 2km from the location so DG sets. After this distance impact will get diluted with the ambient air. The horizontal motion of the pollutants may also take place in special weather conditions (High stability class). However, the maximum impact will limited to the same area. Ithaira & Roza Yakubpur & Roza Jalalpur are villages which are likely to affect by maximum incremental concentration of pollutants outside the project boundary. The incremental concentrations in these villages under worst case scenario (Worst wind pattern and Worst stability class) will 0.063, 0.0013, 1.472 and 0.721 for PM, SO2, NOX and CO respectively. The possibility of occurrence of this worst case scenario is limited to 1 day out of 90 days meteorological conditions. The level of pollutant will remain well within the prescribed standards even during worst case scenario. However, DG set is expected to be used only for 2-3 hours a day. The Impact isopleths lines are shown as Figure 1a.14, 1a.15, 1a.16 and 1a.17 for SPM, SO2, NO2 and CO respectively.

(i) Construction Phase: During construction phase dust, smoke, odours, fumes and other hazardous gases will be discharged mainly from the various construction activities and by the vehicles used at the construction site for the loading and transportation of the materials. These activities and vehicles will discharge different pollutants in the form of gases and liquids which will directly impact the health of the workers at the site and the people of surrounding area also. It will create different types of health injury like headache, high blood pressure, respiratory problems and other allergical problems etc.

(ii) Operation Phase: During operation phase dust, smoke, odours, fumes and other hazardous gases will be discharged mainly from the stationary (DG sets) and mobile sources (vehicular emissions). These sources can emit different pollutants in the form of gases and liquids which will directly impact the health of the residential occupants and staffs at the site in the form of various health injuries like headache, high blood pressure, respiratory problems, and other allergical problems etc. For the mitigation and control of these impacts, proper

5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks, pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each category.

The proposed group housing complex project will be connected to existing roads by a 12 m wide proposed road. Moreover, the proposed internal roads will manage the vehicle circulation inside the project premises.

5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.

No, there will be no substantial increase in traffic noise and vibrations during construction and operation phase. However, the additional traffic generation during construction & operation phase is required to be managed. The traffic management measures as described below.

(i) Construction Phase: During the construction phase of the project, noise will be generated from various sources such as movement of vehicles carrying construction materials, loading & unloading activities, excavation machines, concrete mixer, DG sets and other mechanical operations like drilling, fitting, etc. Noise from all these sources will be intermittent and occasional. Most of the construction activities will also be carried out during the daytime only. The site will be encapsulated from all the four sides. DG sets will be fitted with acoustic enclosures that conform to applicable noise standards.

(ii) Operational Phase: The major sources of noise during the operational phase are DG sets, compressor and internal traffic. The DG sets will be procured with acoustic enclosure and the other compressors and pumps will also be acoustically covered. The traffic during operation will be planned in a manner such that there are least idling and bottle necks. Roads will be designed so as to result in free flow of traffic. Moreover, greenbelt development in and around the site will result in reducing noise level effectively.

5.6 What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration & ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.

the noise levels recorded at various stations are marginally higher in the day time than the permissible level for residential areas in few locations.It is observed from Table 3.10 that the noise levels (Leq) ranges from 58.3 dB (Yakubpur village) to 62.6dB (Ithaira village) in daytime and 34.8 dB (Yakubpur Village) to 37.4dB(Ithaira village) at night time. The factor attributing to the increase level of noise may be the traffic movement in nearby highway. The noise monitoring was carried out at different locations in the study area shown in Figure

Construction Phase

During the construction phase of the project, noise will be generated from various sources like movement of vehicles carrying construction materials, loading & unloading activities, excavation machines, concrete mixer, DG sets and other mechanical operations like drilling, fitting, etc. Noise from all these sources will be intermittent and occasional. The level of discomfort caused by noise is subjective. The most commonly reported impacts of increased noise levels are interference in oral communication and disturbance in sleep. All the construction activities will be carried out during the daytime only.

The expected noise levels from DG sets & other equipment during construction phase are given in Table 23.

The impacts associated with construction activities are temporary in nature and also the noise generating equipments will be acoustically enclosed if possible.

Operation Phase

The major sources of noise during the operational phase are

• DG sets, compressor and traffic

• Operation of various pumps, fans and motors

The sound pressure level generated decreases with increase in distance from the source due to wave divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the source is expected, due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path. During the operational stage, DG sets, cooling towers, pumps and vehicles are the major source of noise pollution. Table 24 highlights the noise levels emanating from various equipments during the operation stage.

Table 24: Typical Noise Level from Various Equipments

S. No. Type of Equipment Noise Level - dB(A)

1 DG Sets 75

2 Pumps 70 - 75

3 Cooling Towers 65 - 70



Form 1A

The DG sets will be used during power failure for controlling emergency operations. In order to predict ambient noise levels due to the proposed power plant the propagative modeling has been done. The project proponent will use silent DG sets, with built in acoustic enclosure.

It has been estimated taking a baseline noise level of 60 dB(A). The excess noise level is realized at distance upto12m from the source considering 20 DG sets at one place. Therefore, due to the masking effect significant increment in the noise level is not expected beyond 4m from the location of DG set. Moreover, as these calculations does not account for the attenuation and / or absorption produced by the concrete walls and the acoustic absorbing material, the actual noise level realized will be far less than the predicted one.

The plan indicates the details as to how various measures have been or are proposed to be taken. EMP is a plan of actions for avoidance, mitigation and management of the negative impacts of the project. Environmental enhancement is also an important component of EMP.

Physical Environment The impacts associated with the physical environment of the project site are described below:

Topography Construction Phase: Topography around the proposed project site is a flat land. It shall be ensured that the natural drainage pattern of the area is not affected so that there will not be any water logging.

Operational Phase: There are no impacts anticipated on the topography during the operational phase. Hence, no management plan is proposed.

Soil Construction Phase: The earth stockpiles would be provided with gentle slopes to prevent soil erosion. Drains and settling pond will be provided to collect the surface runoff. Regular watering and maintenance would be undertaken to ensure green cover restoration of the area.



Form 1A

To avoid soil compaction along the transportation routes and parking spaces, only identified haulage roads will be used for transportation. During the transportation of construction materials, vehicle parking will not be done on the sides of the road over the green areas.

As the project doesn’t involve construction of any fueling station for vehicles, contamination of soil from oil and lubricants is not envisaged. However to maintain quality of soil, all constructional wastes will be collected and stored at designated places and will be used in constructional activities and landscaping to the extent possible.

Operational Phase: Regular maintenance of the planted trees will be carried out to achieve the green cover as planned and good housekeeping practices will be followed. Garbage will not be dumped in the open areas but stored and disposed off only as per proposed plan.

Air Pollution Construction Phase: All dust producing construction materials will be transported to site with proper cover of tarpaulins. Water will be sprayed in the cement and earth mixing sites as well as after compaction. Dust suppression foam may also be used to minimize use of water. In high dust areas, workers will be provided and encouraged to use nose masks. Emissions check from equipment and machineries will be carried out periodically. Only PUC certified vehicle will be deployed for the project. The truck at the construction site will be passed through an artificial water drain. The dust accumulated in tyres will get washed off in this drain. Hence, no dust will transport outside the project boundary with tyres.

Operational Phase: Plantation will be carried out within the proposed site. To further minimize vehicular pollution, good road conditions shall be maintained. The DG sets shall be provided with stacks of adequate height as per CPCB guideline.

Green Area Development: Increasing vegetation in the form of green area is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants, reduce the flow of dust and reduce noise pollution. Species for air pollution abatement via green area development are given in Table 28.

Noise generation levels will be considered during selection and procurement of construction equipment. The construction equipment will be provided with adequate noise control measures. Regular maintenance of vehicles and equipments will be carried out and corrective action taken in case of any deviation. Operational Phase: Plants are also often proposed as a natural way to reduce outdoor noise levels. Scattering and ground attenuation are the principal factors in sound attenuation by vegetation. Both factors attenuate relatively less sound as distance from the sound source increases. Vegetation is also an effective sound screen, particularly at high frequencies. There is much evidence to show that the visual shielding of the noise source has a considerable psychological effect as well.

• Provision of slit traps in storm water drains • Good management in the above areas. Operation Phase: All the drains should be underground and covered. Biological Environment Vegetation Construction Phase: Planning should be done such that minimal cutting of trees is required. Plantation of trees should be initiated as early as possible using local species. During the construction period, it is to be ensured that there is no exploitation of trees in and around the project area especially for obtaining fuel wood by the workers. Guards may be deputed to ensure the same. The following plants species are suggested for plantation in different areas are as given in Table 18. Operational Phase: The green area should be properly maintained and dead plants should be regularly replaced.

Operational Phase: Energy Saving Measures will be done for Fenestration, Roofs, Building walls, Ventilation, Water Heating System, Lighting, Building material, Air Infiltration, Above all, all efforts will made towards energy conservation In Compliance with “Energy Conservation Building Code (draft) 2006”. Solar lighting system will be provided in common areas. The buildings will be designed to ensure that natural ventilation and light is promoted with lesser dependence on artificial sources. Awareness shall also be created amongst the residents/management staff for conservation of electricity. The proposed project will follow the U-factors and R-factors related to the building envelopes. Risk Assessment & Disaster Management The project involves installation of various structures and machineries that may pose serious threat to the occupants in case of an accident. It is thus considered necessary to carry out a risk assessment and disaster management plan for the project. It is attempted to plan and construct the building following all safety norms. However, it is not always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and random failures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following: • To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it; • To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property; • Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties; • Safeguard other people;



Form 1A

• Evacuate people to safe areas; • Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities; • Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control; • Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and circumstances of

the emergency; • Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence. The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The plan takes into account the maximum credible loss scenario - actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require less effort and resources to control and terminate emergencies, should the same occur. Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fire in building, earthquake and LPG leakage and an ERP pertaining to these is described in the following section. Response in case of Earthquake: Procedure for Occupants If indoors: • Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on. • Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the

building because objects can fall on you. If outdoors: • Move into the open, away from building, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the

shaking stops. If in a moving vehicle: • Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility

wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.

After the quake • After the quake be prepared for aftershocks • Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring weakened

structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Help injured or trapped persons • Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate

danger of further injury. Call for help. • Remember to help those who may require special assistance- the elderly, and people with disabilities. • Stay out of damaged buildings.



Form 1A

• Use the telephone only for emergency calls. Response Procedure for Emergency Team • Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response. • Using the public address system, inform residents of response procedures discussed above. • Inform the necessary authorities for aid. • Ensure no person is stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure. • Ensure that all occupants standing outside near the building are taken to open areas. • Ensure that the first aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if necessary. • Inform the nearby hospitals if there are any injuries. • Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage. Response for LPG Leakage • The affected area should be evacuated and cordoned off immediately. • Initiate an Emergency Response Team for LPG leakage. • Shut down the main valves in the gas bank. • Ensure that only concerned personnel are present in the affected area and all other personnel and visitors

are moved to the nearest assembly points. • Rescue trapped personnel, also check if any personnel are unconscious in the area and immediately move

them outside and provide first aid. Ambulance should be summoned to take injured personnel to the nearest hospital.

• Personnel in the nearby buildings to close all doors and windows to prevent entry of the leaked gas. • Source of leakage to be traced and isolated from all the other areas. And if required use pedestal fans to

bring down the gas concentration. • In case of a fire follow the instructions. Fire Fighting System The fire safety measures to be adopted in the proposed project are given in Clause 9.10 of Form IA. Response In Case of Fire • Required response during in the event of a fire shall be described in signs located in the building. • On sighting a fire, it shall be immediately informed to the environment manager giving the exact location

and type of fire in detail. • Initiate the Emergency Response Team for fires • If the fire is small, engage in extinguishing the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher. • Guide the Emergency Response Team staff to the emergency assembly point. • The Emergency Response Team shall immediately inform the nearest dispensary and security force. If

required a fire tender shall be summoned. PROJECT PROPONENT: ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT: Supertech Limited Greencindia Consulting Private Limited


Form 1A

• The response team shall immediately move to the point of fire and take all necessary steps to stop the fire.

If the fire is not controllable and spreads then the manager in charge shall inform the district authorities and call for external help.

• The Emergency Response Team will provide immediate relief to the injured residents at the scene of incident. Any injured persons shall be evacuated on priority to the dispensary or one of the nearest hospitals based on their condition.

Instructions for occupants • Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible. • Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating, stay low to the ground. • If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases. • Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire • If smoke is pouring in around the bottom of the door or if it feels hot, keep the door closed. • Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue. • If there is no smoke at the bottom or top and the door is not hot, then open the door slowly. • If there is too much smoke or fire in the hall, slam the door shut. • Stay out of damaged buildings. • Check that all wiring and utilities are safe. Monitoring Programme The purpose of the monitoring programme is to ensure that the specified mitigative measures defined in the EMP are complied with and leads to the desired benefits for the target area and its population. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP and to gauge the efficiency of the mitigative measures, monitoring will be undertaken both during the construction and operation period of the project.
