The combined outfall quantity of ~921.4 MLD will be discharged into sea through outfall pipes.
4. Habitat/wildlife Issues of concern Actions proposed to be taken
a. Impact on Flora The detailed flora fauna has been carried out by engaging a reputed wild lift scientist with working experience from Gujarat Ecological and Education, Research Foundation (GEER). None of the plant species recorded from the core area belongs to the Rare/Endangered / Endemic / Threatened category. However, in Project influence area Plants having medicinal values Commiphora wightii and Tribulus terrestris were observed.
Since patches of forest plantation are located in buffer area, it will be taken utmost precautions not to further degrade these areas by constructing temporary roads, dumping materials, solid wastes, garbage or any other form of material in to the surrounding grasslands. Rest of the project activities may not have any significant impacts on the vegetation of project area and surrounding area, in general, and on the plant species of higher conservation significance, in particular. Plantation of Commiphora wightii by involving local forest department or community
b. Impact on Fauna None of the Faunal species recorded from the core area belongs to the Rare/Endangered / Endemic / Threatened category. However in Project influence area, the species such as Olive Ridely Seaturtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) (VU), Green Seaturtle (Chelonia mydas) (EN), Long-billed Vulture (Gyps indicus) (CR), White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) (CR), Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) (EN) were reported.
Terrestrial Reptiles: Rehabilitation of Terrestrial Reptiles. Local biologist or trackers can be consulted in rehabilitating these individuals from their burrows. Birds: Laying of transmission lines for evacuation of the power to the SEZ and associated structures and facilities shall be planned carefully. The power lines shall be kept at a safe distances from sensitive bird habitats such as water bodies and forest plantation areas in order to avoid bird mortalities due to collisions. It will be ensured that no pollutants discharged into the nearby water bodies. Mammals: Maximum precautions will be taken so that the waterholes/water bodies and forest nursery and other forest areas in the study area are also not disturbed. Sea Turtles: In Kutch coast sporadic nesting is reported. The Wildlife Conservation Plan has provided some mitigations measures to conserve sea turtles though the nesting is reported to be very sporadic in the project area;
Environmental Appraisal Questionnaire (EAQ) for New Industrial Estates
Page 8
The artificial beachfront lighting problem may be the most manageable of the human-caused sea turtle disturbances. Although some lighting is necessary for safety and security, light management measures can help prevent interference with sea turtle nesting habitat while still addressing human safety concerns. These measures include following: Using lamps with a narrow area of
focus i.e. lamps with a narrow field of scattering light
Turning off unnecessary lights during the nesting season.
Using a smaller number or lower wattage of lights; repositioning, shielding, redirecting, lowering, or recessing fixtures so light does not reach the beach;
Moreover, sea turtles are less affected by red, yellow, and low-pressure sodium-vapor lights, which can be substituted for ordinary lights.
Construction activities shall be avoided in peak breeding/nesting season of sea turtles (December, Venkatesan et al. 2004).
Intake and outfall system shall be designed keeping in view of avoiding the entanglement issues of turtles.
Wild life conservation were prepared and authentication from CWLW were also obtained. Some of the Species specific recommendations are

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background:
M/s. Sealand Ports Private Limited (SPPL) & Avash Logistic Park Private Limited
(ALPL) propose to develop a Multi-Product Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a Free Trade
and Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) and a Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) at Layja Mota in Kutch
District, Gujarat. Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited (IL&FS) is promoter
of this project. M/s. Nana Layja Power Company Limited (NLPCL), a Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV) of IL&FS Energy Development Company Limited (IEDCL) proposed to
develop 4000 MW TPP, 60 MLD Desalination Plant and 2000 MW CCPP in the proposed
Multiproduct SEZ/FTWZ.
IL&FS Maritime Infrastructure Company Limited (IMICL), a subsidiary of IL&FS is co-
developing a Shipyard cum Captive Jetties including LNG Terminal at Nana Layja in
Mandvi Taluka, Kutch District, Gujarat through its subsidiary Gujarat Integrated
Maritime Complex Private Limited (GIMCO) and SPPL. This proposed Shipyard cum
Captive Jetties including LNG Terminal is located about 8.0 km south of proposed
Multiproduct SEZ/FTWZ. The requirements of SEZ/FTWZ such as Coal for 4000 MW TPP,
Gas for the 2000 MW CCPP and other import/exports of SEZ industries are proposed to be
met from the Captive Jetties and LNG Terminal proposed at Nana Layja.
In this context, project proponents had approached National Institute of Oceanography
(NIO), which is one of the authorized agencies by MoEF for carrying out the HTL, LTL, CRZ
demarcation and mapping in the Project area near Layja Mota and open coast near Nana
Laya Villages of Mandvi taluk, Kutch district. Regional Centre of NIO, Visakhapatnam has
carried out the required surveys and field measurements for the demarcation of HTL, LTL
and CRZ during the period from 01.12.2010 to 05.12.2010 and 06.02.2013 to 10.02.2013
and 27.02.2013 to 02.03.2013.

The present report details the methodology followed in physical demarcation of High Tide
Line (HTL), Low Tide Line (LTL) and delineation of CRZ boundaries along the coastline
near Nana Layja in Mandvi Taluka, Kutch District of Gujarat. While demarcating various
aspects like HTL, LTL and CRZ boundaries, the procedures given in the guidelines of MoEF
were followed. After mapping, the locations of HTL (identified to be associated with
shoreline morphological features), LTL and the locations have been transferred on to a
map. Various designated boundaries of Coastal Regulation Zone were delineated and
marked on the map.
National Institute of Oceanography Regional Centre (NIO-RC) has conducted the
necessary field works and submitted the report in two parts.

Materials and Methods
2.1 Definition of LTL and HTL
For the purpose of meeting the requirement of the CRZ notification, the High Tide
Line (HTL) means the line on the land up to which the highest water line reaches during
the spring tide. Here the word “highest water line reaches during the spring tide” refers to
the mean high water spring (19 years average of spring water) that is the regular water level
fluctuations caused by changes in relative position of Sun, Moon and the Earth.
Coastal stretches of sea, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and back waters which are
influenced by tidal action (on land ward side) are included in Coastal Regulation Zone
(CRZ). Highest range of spring tide and its horizontal run up on the land was identified by
way of morphological features, permanent vegetation line, monsoonal crest and flotsam
along the open sea and along the creek as per the existing guideline of MoEF. Delineation
of HTL was carried out by using the Differential Global Positioning System techniques
(Hemisphere) and Total Station, the data were collected by following the established
principles in survey of this nature. For demarcation of Low Tide Line (LTL), we have
considered surf zone spot bathymetry observations at low tide time.
2.2 The Projection System
The WGS-84 Datum and Transverse Mercator Projection have been used for
presenting the HTL, LTL on the map and also for preparing the CRZ classification map.
Finally the positions of HTL, LTL and CRZ boundary lines were marked on the CRZ maps in
1:25000 and 1: 4000 scale (Figs. 2 &3&4).

2.2.1 Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS)
The horizontal positioning of the mobile unit was
carried out using Hemisphere R100 Series DGPS Beacon
Receiver. It combines high-performance GPS reception with
a DGPS-capable receiver in a lightweight, durable housing and comes with a separate
antenna. It gives the horizontal position to an accuracy of close to 1 m. The GPS receiver
also contains technology enabling WAAS/EGNOS, OmniSTAR or Beacon real time
differential capabilities. When used with a Real- time Kinematic (RTK) Base station, the
GPS receiver provides RTK positioning for high-accuracy, centimeter-level applications. A
standard GPS receiver provides the following features:
• 10 Hz (10 positions per second) output rate
• 12 GPS (C/A-code L1, C/A code L2 (for the OmniSTAR XP/HP and RTK models))
tracking channels, code carrier channels
• Sub meter differential accuracy (RMS), assuming at least five satellites and a PDOP
(Position Dilution of Precision)of less than four (when used with Satellite Based
Augmentation Systems (SBAS) correction).
The system configuration is enabled with:
• LED display and keypad
• Outputs a 1 PPS (pulse per second) strobe signal on both ports. This signal enables
an external instrument to synchronize its internal time with a time derived from the
very accurate GPS system time.
• SBAS such as WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) differential correction 1
• Beacon differential correction
• Omni STAR VBS capability
• Omni STAR XP/HP capability in the XP/HP and RTK models (also available as an
upgrade)
• RTK positioning capability, In the RTK model only (also available as an upgrade)

• EVEREST ™ multipath rejection technology
• Two connectors that support both CAN 2.0B and RS-232:
• –CAN: J1939 and NMEA 2000 messages
• –RS-232:
• NMEA-0183 output: GGA, GLL, GRS, GST, GSA, GSV, MSS, RMC, VTG, ZDA (the default
NMEA messages are GGA, GSA, VTG, and RMC).
2.2.2 ELECTRONIC TOTAL STATION
In the improved method, to obtain the geographical
positions of baseline points “A” and “B”, “HEMISPHERE”
differential global positioning system was used. This
instrument computes geographical position of any point
using the raw data collected from four satellites in the
horizon. Also, it receives transit time error corrections from nearby land based marine
beacons. After applying these corrections, the final position is obtained which has an
accuracy within a meter. These positions can be entered in electronic total station to get
the azimuth of the baseline “AB”. Electronic Total Station of “TOPCON” make and “GPT-
3002N” model was used for obtaining geographical co-ordinates and elevation of every
point sighted with respect to G.T.S. benchmark “A”. Electronic Total Station uses both an
invisible Pulse Laser Diode for distance measurement and a visible Red Laser Beam as a
laser pointer to identify the measurement point at the center of the cross hair lines of the
telescope. The instrument has a keyboard containing 24 keys, which makes it easier and
quicker to key in codes and other alphanumeric characters. The output contains several
displays based on user’s choice. The output contains measured field data display listing
horizontal angle, vertical angle and laser measured slant distance, computed co-ordinate
data display listing geographical location of the point surveyed (Easting, Northing) and
elevation of the surveyed point with respect to the instrument station elevation and so on.
A dual axis compensator sensor is included in this model, which automatically corrects the

METHOD OF SURVEY:
First, the geographical positions of both “A” and “B” were obtained accurately in
WGS-1984 UTM co-ordinates using DGPS instrument. Electronic Total Station was set up
over Point “A” and all initial settings such as leveling, etc. were done very accurately. The
U.T.M. (Universal Transverse Mercator) co-ordinates and elevations of both “A” and “B”
were entered through the keyboard of the Total station. The height of the optical centre of
the instrument with respect to mean sea level of Point “A” and the height of the reflector
prism were measured accurately and entered. The reflector prism was exactly placed over
Point “B” and measurement was taken to compare the DGPS values of Point “B” with that of
Total station’s computed values of “B”. After confirming the position matches, the HTL and
LTL surveys were commenced using Total station. By aiming the survey points accurately
and releasing the laser pulse, geographical positions (in UTM) as well as the elevation
values of all survey points were computed by the instrument and recorded into the
memory. The data thus collected was downloaded from the memory to a computer using
data transfer cable, for further processing and preparation of CRZ maps.

Results 3.1 CRZ GENERAL RULES
The Central Government, with a view to ensure livelihood security to the fishing
communities and other local communities living in the coastal areas; to conserve and
protect coastal stretches, its unique environment and its marine area and to promote
development in sustainable manner based on scientific principles taking into account the
dangers of natural hazards in the coastal areas including sea level rise due to global
warming, has declared the coastal stretches of the Country and the water area upto its
territorial water limit, excluding the islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep
and the marine areas surrounding these islands upto its territorial limit, as the Coastal
Regulation Zone. Setting up and expansion of any industry, operations or processes and
manufacture or handling or storage or disposal of hazardous substances are restricted in
the CRZ. The following areas are declared as CRZ:
(i) The land area from High Tide Line (HTL) to 500 m on the landward side along the
sea front.
(ii) Land area between HTL to 100 m or width of the creek whichever is less on the
landward side along the tidal influenced water bodies.
(iii) The land area falling between the hazard line and 500 m from HTL on the landward
side, in case of seafront and between the hazard line and 100 m line in case of tidal
influenced water body.
(iv) Land area between HTL and Low Tide Line which is termed as the intertidal zone.
(v) The water and the bed area between the LTL to the territorial water limit (12 Nm)
in case of sea and the water and the bed area between LTL at the bank to the LTL on the
opposite side of the bank, of tidal influenced water bodies.
A key component of the coastal regulation zone is the setback lines measured from the high
tide line through which coastal development is regulated in a protected zone contiguous to
HTL. These setback lines are with reference to the HTL and act as buffer zones between the

ocean and the upland property. Thus precision is required in delineating the HTL which
forms the base to define the setback.
3.2 Survey Details
The HTL and LTL were demarcated by physical survey in the study area as per the
MoEF guidelines. The horizontal position of HTL, associated with wave run up at preceding
high tides and forming geomorphic features and the features such as boundary of
perennial natural terrestrial vegetation, flotsam, drift wood and embankments have been
considered. The identification of these markings enabled a reasonably accurate assessment
of High Tide Line. Low Tide line was demarcated from the surf zone bathymetry. On
demarcation of High Tide Line, Low tide line and CRZ boundaries, the plan annexed to this
report was prepared in the scales of 1: 25000 (Fig. 2), and 1: 4000 (Fig. 3&4). Physical
demarcation of HTL, LTL and the delineation of CRZ boundaries relevant to the project site
was carried out. Approved CZMP plan of Gujarat Government was referred. Land use map
(Fig 5) was prepared based on the satellite imagery.
3.3 Presentation of maps
The observations in respect of HTL, LTL and other setback lines are presented on
the maps of 1: 25000 (Fig. 2), 1: 4000 (Fig.3&4) scale. The legend for different
demarcations like HTL, LTL and project facilities are also given in the CRZ map. Along the
open coast the setback lines of 200 m and 500 m from the HTL and 100 m setback line for
Kharod nadi and creeks were demarcated as per CRZ notification.
