In addition 3 MLD of treated wastewater from shipyard cum captive jetties will be discharged through marine outfall system. 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;

Page 11: KUTCH G U J A R A T - Welcome to Environment · Mandvi and Bhuj (15.1 km, East) SH-49 connecting Bhuj and Naliya (25.8 km, North) SH-48 connecting Bhuj and Mundra (36.5 km, East)

Environmental Appraisal Questionnaire (EAQ) for New Industrial Estates

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

Name Recommendations

Green Seaturtle/ Olive Ridley

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.

study area. Physical demarcation of HTL, LTL was carried out along the open coast near

Nana Layja and Kharod Nadi and creeks in the study area. The proposed project site is

located at 8.0 km north of coastal area of Nana Layja. The project site does not fall under

CRZ area, whereas utility corridor will be passing the CRZ area and seawater intake and

marine outfall facilities will fall under CRZ area. The project site and utility corridor area

comprises of mostly land without scrub, single crop agriculture land, gullied and ravenous

land comprises of barren lands and stony waste area (Plates 1 to 4). The proposed project

site is in Non CRZ area as the distance between HTL and project site is about 8 km and

about 6 km away from tidal influenced (CRZ) area of Kharod nadi.

Seawater intake and marine outfall facilities will fall in CRZ IV and the utility corridor

containing seawater, marine outfall pipelines, coal conveyor, gas pipelines, transmission

lines and road etc., will pass through CRZ I (B), CRZ IV and CRZ III zones as per CRZ

notification, 2011. The project site and proposed seawater intake, marine outfall facilities

and utility corridor does not fall under any environmentally sensitive areas like Natural

Parks, Sanctuaries, Coral reefs or areas rich in genetic diversity and Mangroves.

Summery and Conclusions

Based on the observations made during the field visits and also as per the policy,

practice and procedure of MoEF, the following conclusions have been drawn.

• Physical demarcation of HTL, LTL and CRZ boundaries relevant to the project site

were carried 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.

• Land use mapping using the Satellite imagery was prepared.

• The whole stretch of relevant High Tide Line (HTL) is supported by the

geographical features such as terrestrial vegetation and sandy coast.

• The position of HTL, LTL and CRZ boundaries are demarcated in the scales of 1:

25000 (Fig. 2), 1: 4000 (Fig. 3&4) respectively.

• Approved CZMP of Government of Gujarat was referred for the preparation of this

report.

• Land use map of the area (Fig. 5) shows the existing land use features in 15 km

radius. The area mapped is a coastal strip on either side of Kharod nadi near Nana

Lajya village of Mandvi Taluk in Gujarat.

• The project site and utility corridor area comprises of mostly land without scrub,

single crop, gullied and ravenous land and stoney waste area.

• The area between HTL and 500 m set back line near the utility corridor is comprises

of thorny bushes.

• On either side of Kharodi nadi, CRZ area is comprises of tidal flats and thorny

bushes.

• The area in the 7 Km radius of the study area comprises of thorny bushes, creeks,

land with scrub, single crop agriculture lands, stoney waste area and settlements.

• The proposed project site falls under non CRZ area as the distance between HTL

and project site is about 8 km and about 6 km away from tidal influenced (CRZ) area

of Kharod nadi.

• The proposed utility corridor containing seawater, marine outfall pipelines, coal

conveyor, gas pipelines, transmission lines and road etc., will pass through CRZ I(B)

and CRZ III zones.

• The project site and proposed seawater intake, marine outfall facilities and utility

corridor will not fall under any environmentally sensitive areas like Natural Parks,

Sanctuaries, Coral reefs or areas rich in genetic diversity and Mangroves.

• The proposed fuel transportation system and wastewater conveyance system etc.,

in the utility corridor is a permissible activity as per the CRZ Notification, 2011.
