3.1.2 Description of the Sampling Locations

The samplers were fixed on top of a residential building/gram panchayat at a height of

about 4.0 m above the ground level ensuring there are no obstructions to the free flow of

wind for all Air Quality Monitoring locations. This location was selected to assess the

dispersion of the pollutants considering the prevalent meteorological conditions.

3.2 Ambient air Quality The ambient air quality was monitored in the study area as per MoEF guidelines. The study area represents mostly rural and semi urban environment. The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to assess the existing ambient air quality of the area.

Methodology Adopted for the study Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at 3 locations. AAQ locations were selected in downwind, cross wind and upwind direction of the proposed project location. The details of the monitoring stations are given in Table (C)

At each sampling station monitoring was carried for a frequency of 2 days per week for 4 weeks in a month during study period. The Common air pollutants namely Respirable Particulate Matter (PM<2.5µ, PM<10µ), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and the oxides of nitrogen (NOx), were sampled on 8/24 hourly and results were averaged to 24 hours to meet the requirements of the MoEF and compared with the standards stipulated by CPCB.

Chapter - 4 Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures

4.0 Introduction The purpose of the impact assessment study is to provide information on the nature and extent of environmental impacts arising from the proposed project during construction and occupation. This information shall contribute decisions on the following;

Overall acceptability of any adverse environmental consequences that are likely to arise as a result of the proposed project.

Conditions and requirements for the detailed design, establishment and operation of the proposed project to mitigate against adverse environmental consequences wherever practicable and

Acceptability of minimized impacts after the proposed mitigation measures is implemented. The environmental impact assessment of the proposed activity shall cover all developments within the proposed project site and any other works associated with these developments outside the project area. The impact prediction shall include specific impacts namely; air quality impact, water pollution impacts, noise impacts, ecological impact and socio-economic impacts. The impact assessment is carried out for the construction phase and operation phase.

4.1 Air Quality Impacts An assessment of air quality impacts associated with the construction and occupation of the proposed project is been carried out. Worst case impacts on the representative receivers have been assessed. Three major sources of air pollution have been identified namely construction dust emission, road traffic emissions and DG set emissions.

1. Construction Phase: Construction works include site clearance, site formation, building works, infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure activities. The major air pollution source during this activity is dust generation as a result of the above activities.

2. Occupation Phase: The major sources of air pollutants are the vehicle emissions from traffic on roads internal and neighboring roads, air pollutants emitted from operation of DG sets and other mechanical equipments used for day to day activities proposed at these project.

The representative air sensitive receivers within the study area represent the future and existing sensitive receivers likely to be affected by the project.




4.2

4.1.1 Construction Phase Impacts The principal potential source of air quality impact arising during construction period is fugitive dust generation. The dust, measurable as Total Suspended Particulate Matter and Respirable Suspended Particulates would be generated as a result of construction activities. The construction program of the project shall commence immediately after obtaining statutory clearances.

The potential dust sources associated with construction activities are loading and unloading of the materials, top soil removal, travel over unpaved roads and wind erosion etc. The construction works associated with the proposed development are broadly given below.

i. Site development and foundation works ii. Dust generation due to vehicles bringing raw materials iii. Un loading of raw materials, removal of un wanted waste material from site iv. Civil constructions and provision of infrastructure required for various activities

proposed at each project.

Among all the construction activities, site formation has the highest potential for causing dust nuisance to the nearby air sensitive locations. During the construction of the project, existing houses nearby may be subject to the potential dust impacts.

4.1.2 Mitigation Measures proposed For the proposed project, site leveling and grading will be carried out for construction apartments, where ever possible natural elevations will not be disturbed, only leveling activity will be carried out for providing roads, sewage network, storm water system, and places required for providing buildings According to the engineering assessment; most of the excavated material (for providing basements) shall be reused within the project boundary, if any excess will be disposed through local contractors for filling low lying areas or road laying purposes, etc. The movement of cut and fill material will be limited. Broad estimation shows that there would not be more than 20 vehicles from the construction site within a day, since all the excavated material shall be reused at the site itself.

Most of the construction dust will be generated from the movement of construction vehicles on unpaved roads. Unloading of cement, sand, etc, and removal of soil material shall also act as a potential source for dust nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below:

Regular water sprinkling on haul roads in the project area, this activity will be carried out at least twice a day, if need arises frequency will be increased on windy days, in this way around 50% reduction on the dust contribution from the exposed surface can be achieved.

The duration of stockpiling will be as short as possible as most of the material will be used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.




4.3

Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the site of dust generation or all around the project site as barrier for dust control.

Tree plantations around the project boundary will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.

All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin / plastic sheet, unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.

To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighborhood the external part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets

Vehicles having pollution under control certificate will be allowed.

Drivers of the Vehicles will be instructed to follow speed limits (<20 kmph), reducing the speed of the vehicle will reduce generation of dust to large extent.

Speed limit boards will be displayed at entrance gate, speed breakers will be provided if needed.

Given the implementation of proper control measures for dust suppression, no adverse impacts are expected and compliance with the Ambient Air Quality is achieved at ASR’s (Air pollution Sensitive Receivers) at all time. 4.1.3 Occupation Phase Impacts As the proposed project being a construction project there are no major point source emissions like industries. The major air pollutants associated with this project is from incoming and outgoing vehicles and visitors. In addition to this the other source is use of DG set during power failure as back up source for lighting and other emergency needs.

The use of DG set will be as minimum as possible as it is used during power failure as a backup. The Details of the DG set stack height calculation, stack provided, pollutants expected is given in Table 4.1.3.

4.2 Water Quality Impact Assessment This section highlights the assessment of water quality impacts associated with the proposed project. The assessment is based on the worst case scenario. The potential impacts during construction and occupation phase are assessed and practical mitigation measures are recommended.

4.2.1 Potential Impacts from Construction Activities The proposed development will involve various construction activities. The following section summarizes the activities likely to be undertaken during the proposed development and describes the potential impacts on water quality from each activity.

i) Site formation Preparation of designated area of land for subsequent development activities involves leveling of the ground surface, removal of vegetation, stockpiling and generation of construction waste. Construction of temporary infrastructure such as drainage culverts may be required. The site formation may produce large quantities of run-off with high suspended solids loading in the absence of appropriate mitigation measures. This potential problem may be aggravated during rainy season.

ii) Construction of apartment and villas In rainy season during the construction phase due to construction of various civil structures site runoff results significant pollution in the receiving water bodies. And washing of various construction equipments will also result in water pollution.

iii) Presence of workers During construction, the work force on the site is estimated to be about 400 to 500 during peak period, although the number may vary over the construction period. Impacts from the workers include waste and wastewater generated from eating areas, and sewage from temporary sanitary facilities. Sewage is characterized by high levels of BOD, ammonia and E. coli. Significant




4.5

water quality impact will happen only if the sewage is discharged directly into the receiving waters without any prior treatment. 4.2.2 Mitigation Measures during Construction During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the site gets collected to working pit and if any over flow is will be diverted to nearby greenbelt / plantation area. During construction activity all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for construction purposes, and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc. The waste generated from the site work shop will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc and disposed to authorized recyclers the waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc will be disposed to municipal bins. The domestic wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the work force will be diverted to septic tank followed by soak pit. If the wastewater generation is high a mobile STP will be hired from the local suppliers. 4.2.3 Potential Impacts from Occupation Phase During this period only domestic sewage is the wastewater which requires treatment. The total wastewater is collected in STP and treated to meet online discharge standards. Part of the treated water is reused and part is discharged into public sewers.

4.2.4 Rainwater Harvesting & Storm Water Runoff All along the road network of the proposed project, storm water drains would be provided to collect water during rains. They would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site. It is proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top rainwater and rain water of paved surface at respective apartment and villas. Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit. Overflow from the harvesting pit and storm water of road / open space will be collected through road side storm water drains. For better infiltration of rainwater into ground, storm water drains will be provided with check dams at every 100 m. The storm water drains are connected to nearby natural drain.




4.8

The details of rainwater harvesting calculation and storm water calculation are given in Table 4.2.4 (A) and Table 4.2.4 (B) The rainwater harvesting pits will be provided adjacent apartment blocks and villas, so that the roof water can be directly sent to nearest Rainwater harvesting pit. The excess water if any from the rainwater harvesting pits is diverted to storm water drains. The storm water drains will be acting as recharge trench as the bottom will not be lined and intermittent check dams will be provided in the storm water drains, so that maximum amount of rainwater infiltrate into the ground. The excess water will be diverted into the common storm water drain.

4.3 Noise Level Impacts Sound pressure level generated by noise source decreases with increasing distance from the source due to the wave divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the source is due to atmospheric effect or interaction with the objects in the transmission path. It is also affected by the environmental conditions. The noise generation during construction phase and occupation phase will be different. The construction phase will be temporary in nature where during occupation phase it will be on continuous.




4.10

4.3.1 Impact during Construction The major activities which produce periodic noise, during construction phase are as follows:

Foundation laying construction

Fabrication of structures

Operation of construction equipment

Movement of vehicles 4.3.2 Mitigation Measures All noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement. Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Therefore, impact on noise environment due to proposed project would be insignificant. All vehicles entering into the project will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow horns unless it is required. 4.3.3 Impacts during Occupation phase The major noise expected at the site is due to traffic movement and operation of DG set during power failure. 4.3.4 Mitigation Measures To minimize the noise due to vehicular movement all the vehicles will be advised to get serviced regularly so that the noise due to movement of vehicles will be minimum, they will also be advised not to blow horns unless it is required. All noise generating machines like pumps, compressors, etc. will be properly serviced and mounted on anti-vibration pads to reduce the noise generation. The DG set will be provided by Acoustic enclosure. In addition to this, the entire open areas along the boundary, along the main road and internal roads shall be provided with adequate green belt to diffuse the noise dispersion. Trees with heavy foliage, strong leafy will be planted on both sides of carriage way to absorb the noise, shrubs and creepers will be planted for additional protection between tree trunks. 3.4 Solid Waste Impact Assessment The present section presents an assessment of solid waste impacts associated with the Construction phase and Occupation phase of the project. The sources of solid waste generation at the different phases of the development are categorized as follows.

i. Construction phase: Construction and demolition waste is generated during the construction activity. Activities such as site clearance, site formation, building works,




4.11

infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure activities. It consists mostly of inert and non-biodegradable materials such as concrete, plaster, metal, plastics etc.

ii. Occupational phase: The most common solid waste generated in the construction

project is municipal solid waste containing biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. 4.4.1 Solid Waste Generation during Construction phase This category of waste in the proposed project are due to different types of raw materials being used during establishment stage in general may comprise the following

i. cement concrete ii. Bricks, Tiles, iii. Cement Plaster iv. steel (from RCC, door/ window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase etc) v. rubble, sand, vi. Stone (Marble, granite, sand stone) vii. Timber/Wood viii. Paints/Varnishes

Besides above there are some major and minor components namely conduits, pipes, electrical fixtures, panels, etc in all the proposed projects. In addition the packing material used for packing of various items used in creation of infrastructure and others also constitutes the solid waste. 4.4.2 Mitigation Measures during Construction Phase The solid waste generated during this period being predominantly inert in nature, construction and demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution. Hence maximum effort would be made to reuse and recycle them. Most of the solid waste material can be used for filing/ leveling of low-laying areas. All attempts should be made to stick to the following measures.

1. All construction waste shall be stored within the site itself. A proper screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.

2. Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.

3. Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, leveling, making roads/ pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land filled.

4. The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.

The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high potential




4.12

for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled materials. Construction waste can be used in the following manner.

i. Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible and depending upon their conditions.

ii. Sale/ auction of materials which cannot be used at the site due to design constraint. iii. Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal etc can be sent for recycling. iv. Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as leveling, under coat of lanes

where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads. v. Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas. vi. Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material vii. The unearthed soil can be used for leveling as well as for lawn development viii. The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for leveling in the building or can

be disposed off ix. The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be disposed

off

4.4.3 Solid Waste Generation during Occupation The generation of food and trade wastes due to the Occupation of the project will be more or less a continuous process. The various day to day activities may discard packing materials, spoiled and half eaten foods. The schematic diagram of the solid waste management scheme proposed is given as Figure 4.4.3

As per Manual, on Municipal Solid Waste Management. Central Public Health & Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), Ministry of Urban Development, GOI, for estimation of future per capita waste quantity the following municipal refuse generation rates are suggested. The quantity of waste produced is lesser than that in developed countries and is normally

observed to vary between 0.2-0.6 kg/capita/day. Value upto 0.6 kg/capita/day Residential refuse: 0.3 to 0.6 kg/cap/day Commercial refuse: 0.1 to 0.2 kg/cap/day Street sweepings : 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day Institutional refuse: 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day The typical composition of the solid waste in low income and middle income countries as follows.

Composition (% by weight) Low Income Countries Middle Income Countries Metal 0.2 - 2.5 1 - 5 Glass, Ceramics 0.5 - 3.5 1 -10 Food & Garden waste 40 - 65 20 - 60 Paper 1-10 15- 40 Textile 1 - 5 2 - 10 Plastics/Rubber 1 - 5 2 -6

The air pollution emitted by various sources settles on the ground and vegetation of surrounding area. The plants interact with both gaseous and particulate pollutants and to great extent absorb them and thus, remove them from the atmosphere. This pollution removal property of the plants has been known for a long time. For many years tree planting has been promoted by city planners for the purpose of reducing ground level air pollution. The proposed project being construction project there are no major air pollution sources like industries, power plants, mines, etc. The only air pollutants expected are from vehicles used by the residents / visitors coming to the see them. The DG sets used during power failure also generate air pollutants. To minimize the air pollution from this type of activities landscaping and adequate greenbelt will be developed. The details of the land allotted for greenbelt and landscaping is given in Table 4.5.1 (A)

Hence, there are no chances of losing any valuable biodiversity. When the construction project is fully developed over a period of few years, lots of greenery comes up in the form of avenue trees, ornamentals, fruit trees and lawns. As a result, the loss of carbon sequestration capacity due to the loss of few bushes could be compensated. There is no plan to introduce new exotic species except those that have become naturalized. Preference will be given to native and local trees. A list trees proposed to be included for the development of parks, green belt and avenue plantations are given in Table 4.5.1 (B). Shrubs are usually woody or semi-woody perennial plants, their branches arise from the base of the plants and grow up to the height of 3 to 4 m. Many shrubs, which are more or less prostrate, make excellence ground flower. Availability of a large no of species & cultivars, a wide range of variation in shape & size of the plants, diversified types of leaves & growth habit, remarkable ranges of size, shape & colour of flower and the variety of fragrance have made the shrubs as important garden plants. Several species of shrubs have usually attractive colors. Most of the shrubs are hardy & grow in all types of soil with little attention. Although some plants flower almost throughout the year, in most cases they are seasonal. A selection can be




4.16

made in such a way that some plants in the shrubbery will be in bloom in any season of the year. Some of them are sweet scented. Most of these plants are fairly quick growing and when vegetative propagated, start flowering in the first year. Shrubs are classified into three groups according to the requirement of the sunlight for growth and flowering.

Show normal growth & flowering in full sun

Grow only in partial shade

Grow well in both in sun and semi shady condition Before planting shrubs, location and size of the plants should be considered. Plant them in a place where they should not obstruct other flowerbeds, plants, etc., though we can prune them but carefully think about the size when they will be fully grown so that they should not towered over other plants. Planting stocks are readily available from the social Forest Department as well as from the local private nurseries. All plants are locally adapted and the present site can support their growth with suitable horticultural practices. Sufficient space, resources and man power for development and maintenance are provided in the plan. The Greenbelt layout plan is given as Figure 4.5.1

4.6 Demography and Socio-Economics Investment in a region has multifold effects on the overall economy of the region. Development of the well-planned Construction project makes a powerful contribution to the formation and strengthening of linkages with other sectors of the economy and, in the process, stimulates the creation and expansion of micro enterprises at the local level, and helps to generate adequate socio-economic benefits to the local people and also supplementary cash income opportunities for the women & other disadvantaged groups. Any measure of such economic impact can be an indicator of improvement in the overall economic well-being of the study area, which is one of the major goals of developmental efforts and deployment of resources in the construction project. The project will lead to multi-facet benefits for the society and some of the benefits are as given below:-

Economic gain (Increase in taxes to government)

Employment generation;

Infrastructural developmental works, such as improved access to potable water, communications, roads (access to markets), and improved health and education services;

Increased personal income and wealth creation (i) Economic gain The proposed project brings not only the local people, but also the people from the other regions thereby generate direct & indirect economic gains to the people. The residents will be paying taxes and services charges for the services extended by local municipal authorities. (ii) Employment generation The development of the project is also going to generate pro-poor employment (direct as well as indirect) because; it is a highly labor-intensive industry housemaids, drivers, helpers. Indirectly children will join nearby schools; residents will shopping in nearby shops, some of them may hire other services like laundry, cleaning, etc. (iii) Infrastructure creation In addition to employment and business opportunities, construction projects often brings with it improved infrastructure, security, communications, community development. Health and education services for the poor can also be improved since government revenues generated from such project activities may subsequently be invested in these services.




4.20

(iv) Increased personal income and wealth creation Due to development of these projects, the property values in the region would also be a reflection of economic impact of the project. As discussed earlier, the project would create new employment and business opportunities. Also the spin-off effects of the projects in the neighborhood area would also increase the business volumes of existing businesses. These new opportunities would result in increased personal income and better standards of living. With the increase in personal income and new opportunities, the property values in the nearby areas would increase, thus resulting in wealth creation for the nearby community. It is also important to note that when property values go up, the buying class is generally the richer class of the society or business entities. This phenomenon, though difficult to quantify at this stage, would redistribute wealth within the society and create opportunities for the people owning property in the nearby region.

5.1 Introduction No alternate site has been considered as the land required for the project is suitable for residential use. The main advantages for proposing the project at this site are the site is plain without few undulations, and free from big plants/trees. The site is nearer to railway station and airport Hyderabad, NH-9 is the major highway passing at about 1.3 km E, no forest land and R&R issues are involved. 5.1.1 Planning The layout will be designed meeting the existing guidelines of HUDA. The roads are planned to meet the traffic needs of the residents and smooth movement of fire engine to all corners of the layout. Necessary parking will be provided for all apartments in the basement. To improve aesthetics and minimize air and noise pollution greenbelt along the boundary and roads will be provided. The wastewater generated will be collected and treated in STP and part of the treated water is reused for flushing, greenbelt development, etc, and the excess treated water is discharged into public sewer. Rainwater harvesting is proposed at respective buildings and storm water drains along the roads and boundary of project area to avoid flooding and to improve the ground water recharge. 5.1.2 Building Materials For apartments following building materials are proposed, depending upon the availability and cost some of them will be considered.

Brick and block products with waste and recycled contents such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, sewage sludge, waste wood fibre, etc.

Perforated bricks or Fly ash based lightweight aerated concrete blocks for construction of walls.

Use of precast thin lintels, use of ferro-cement-sunshade cum lintel, etc

Use of renewable timber for doors and windows

Use of steel manufactured from recycled content

Aluminum frames, rods, etc manufactured using recycled aluminum

Saw dust based doors and window frames.

Ferro-cement shutters, PVC doors and windows, Rice husk boards, Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite door panels.



5.2

Bamboo based products, bamboo strips boards

Alternatives for finishes include fly ash, ceramic tiles, terrazzo floors, etc 5.1.3Roads and Open spaces Conventionally the open spaces between boundary walls and buildings are covered impermeable structures. Permeable paving should be used to control surface water runoff by allowing storm water to infiltrate the soil and return to the ground water. The following measures are proposed to surface water infiltration into ground water.

Loose (gravel/crusher fines) aggregate material will be used to cover pedestrian surfaces

A porous asphalt (bituminous concrete) layer constructed with open grades aggregate (small fines removed) which leaves voids between the large particles unfilled by smaller fine.

Porous concrete mix without the fine aggregate, and with special additives for strength Permeable paving is not intended to replace the standard impervious paving like roads used for movement of vehicles, etc. Where tar or cement roads are proposed to with stand the traffic and weir and tare. 5.1.4 Energy Conservation To minimize the use of energy and to conserve the energy some of the energy efficient technologies are to be followed. The concept of passive solar design emphasizes architectural design approaches that minimize the energy consumption by integrating conventional energy efficient devices, such as mechanical and electrical pumps, fans lighting fixtures, and other equipment, with passive design elements, such as building siting, an efficient envelope, appropriate amounts of fenestration, increased day lighting design, and thermal mass. The basic idea of passive solar design is to allow daylight, heat and airflow into a building only when beneficial. Some of the advanced solar passive techniques proposed to be used are given below.

Glazed windows are located to face the south to receive maximum sunlight in winter. To reduce heat losses during the night these windows are double glazed and have insulating curtains.

Planning to bring maximum day light into a building and distributing it in a way that provides more desirable and better quality illumination than artificial light sources. This reduces the need for electrical light sources, thus cutting down on electricity use and its associated costs and pollution.

Energy efficient lighting devices are planned such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), CFLs, tube lights in place of incandescent bulbs.

Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan

7.1 Risk Assessment Risk assessment is defined in this study as a technique that aims to identify and estimate risks to personnel and property impacted upon by a project. Traditional risk assessment for construction has been synonymous with probabilistic analysis. Such approaches require events to be mutually exclusive, exhaustive, and conditionally independent. However, construction involves many variables, and it is often difficult to determine causality, dependence and correlations. As a result, subjective analytical methods that rely on historical information and the experiences of individuals and companies have been used to assess the impact of construction risk and uncertainty. 7.2 Major Hazards The major hazards anticipated in any major building and construction projects are illustrated below.

Hazardous pertaining to fires in buildings

Fire in diesel storage areas, garbage storage areas and disposal areas

Natural disasters viz. Earthquakes, flooding, etc

LPG gas leak

Electrical accidents

Flooding from man-made causes

7.3 Disaster Management Plan (DMP) Emergency prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection are essential to reduce the probability of occurrence and consequential effect of such eventualities. The overall objective of the DMP/Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following.

Localize the emergency on property and people

Minimize effects on property and people

Effective rescue and medical treatment

Evacuation. 7.4 Hazard Control Measures 7.4.1 Fires To increase the level of safety in apartments, installation of smoke alarms or automatic fire detection /alarm systems will be proposed as an early warning of fire to the occupants. Smoke alarms to be positioned in circulation areas between sleeping spaces, in places where fires are most



7.2

likely to start such as kitchens or living rooms, to pick up smoke in the early stages of a fire, close enough to bedroom doors to be effective when people are asleep. To prevent fire mishaps and to manage the emergency situation during fire in the proposed project the following activities and precautions are proposed.

Emergency evacuation plans or building evacuation plans are important for all residential buildings, and the same will be prepared as per Fire & Safety rules.

It will be advised to keep oxygen cylinders, medical kits and masks for higher floor occupants to prevent smoke inhalation especially for those with respiratory disorders for whom smoke inhalation can be very dangerous.

Property manager or apartment owners association will be advised to ensure that the fire fighting equipments are in good working conditions.

Every floor will be provided with sufficient fire fighting gadgets (water, soil, cylinders) Simple steps to be followed during emergency are as follows.

Call the fire rescue department: During fire in building/apartment, leave the premises by nearest available exit. Call fire department and do not assume anyone else has called the fire department. Never use lift for leaving the premises or apartment during emergency. If your cloth catches fire, do not get panic or run, stop, drop and roll. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet clean cloth: Stay calm cover your nose and mouth with a wet, clean cloth to prevent smoke inhalation injury and choking. Never jump off or attempt to climb down the side of a tall building as it will mean certain death. Do not run: During a fire, smoke containing poisonous gases such as CO tends to rise up. When you run in a smoke filled room, you tend to inhale the smoke faster. CO dulls the senses and prevents clear thinking, leading to panic. To prevent being asphyxiated, dip tissues or cloth in water and cover your noise with it. Head-count of the occupants: During an emergency, make good use of the evacuation procedure and help each other to reach out of building safely. Ensure nobody is left behind by doing a head-count of occupants. Visitors should read and understand the evacuation plan before going into a building and ensure their safety. 7.4.2 Natural Disasters Disasters occur without notice. Most disasters are natural such as earthquake, floods, hurricanes, sandstorms, landslides, tsunamis and volcanoes. We have no way of stopping them, but we can learn to deal with the difficult situations that arise due to them.



7.3

During disasters like floods, fire, earth quake, landslides, rescue beings at home. Even before external help arrives, people affected by the disasters help each other. The government and many voluntary organizations send teams of workers trained in rescue operations to disaster-affected areas. These teams join hands with the local community helpers such as doctors, nurses, social workers and policemen. Temporary shelters are built for displaced people. Doctors and nurses provide medical aid. They treat the wounded and work to control epidemics. Social workers collect food and cloth from all over the country for the disaster-affected people. The police maintain law and order. Media –persons help in spreading news about the victims and their conditions. They also post advertisements that urge people to donate for victims. In extreme conditions, the army and Air force organize rescue operations. They clear roads, send medical teams and help to move people to safer places. The air force drops food, water and clothes in the affected areas. Organization like UN helps in providing aid during massive disasters. Individually, people from all over the world also come forward to help during a disaster. They donate blood while many donate money. Some even reach the disaster affected places to give an extra hand in the rescue operation. Families adopt children who have lost their parents and thus give them a new home. What you can do in case disaster strikes are given below

If there is a tornado, take shelter in a place without windows.

In an earthquake, remember to crouch under some heavy furniture or stand under the doorframe for cover.

In case of a fire in the building, leave the building by the stairs. Do not use a lift.

If the house is flooded, then climb up to the roof.

Do not use the telephone, except to call for help, so as to leave telephone lines free for the organization of response.

Listen to the messages broadcast by radio and the various media so as to be informed of development.

Carry out the official instructions given over the radio or by loudspeaker.

Keep a family emergency kit ready. In all the different types of emergency, it is better to be prepared than to get ready, to get information so as to get organized, to wait rather that act too hastily

During floods turn off electricity to reduce the risk of electrocution

As soon as flood begins, take vulnerable people (old, children, sick, etc) to upper floor



7.4

Beware of water contamination, wait until the water is declared safe before drinking or boil the water before drinking

Clean and disinfect the room that is flooded

During storms and hurricanes do not go out in a car or a boat once the storm has been announced

If caught outside in a storm, take refuge as quickly as possible in shelter (never under a tree), if there is no shelter, lie down flat in a ditch.

In a thunderstorm keep away from doors, windows, and electrical conductors, unplug electrical appliances and television aerials. Do not use any electrical appliances or the telephone

During earthquake keep calm, do not get panic, People who are indoors should stay there but move to the central part of the building, people who are outside should stay there, keeping away from buildings to avoid collapsing walls and away from electrical cables. Anyone in a vehicle should park it, keeping away from bridges and buildings.

During spread of clouds of toxic fumes, close doors and windows, seal any cracks or gaps around windows and doors with adhesive tape. Organize a reserve of water (by filling wash basins, baths, etc. Turn off ventilators and air conditioners.

7.4.3 LPG Gas Leak Prevention and Precautions during Leakage The safety norms to be followed in the Kitchen for use of LPG fuel for cooking are as follows

1. Kitchen should be properly ventilated with a window and an escape door. 2. Kitchen should be separate and not part of living-room / bedroom. 3.

7.4.4 Electrical Accidents Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks, and electrocution which can lead to serious injury and even death. When dealing with potentially serious electrical hazards stop and think! Instead of taking a chance and risking your personal safety, call trained professionals to handle problems. Many times in residential homes, people prefer to take electrical matters into their own hands. Other small aspects of electrical repair in a business setting may be taken care of without needing professional service technicians. If you do decide to take matters into your own hands, safety precautions can avoid injuries and other losses. 7.4.4.1 Prevention of Electrical Accidents Flexible cords connected to appliance should be wired to confirm to the international colour code. Colour of the insulation on the wire is:

Brown represents live wire,

Blue represents neutral wire and

Green/yellow stripes represent earth wire. What you should look for when selecting an electrical appliance is given below:

a. The appliance should be suitable for operation on local electrical supply of 240 volts AC and frequency of 50 Hz.

b. The appliance should preferably be tested and certified by a national or reputed standards testing authority.

c. Look for certified plugs on the flexible cords connected to the appliances. If the appliance is double insulated and has a 2-pin plug, then it should be fitted with a suitable certified plug.

d. An essential formality when buying any appliances is a duly completed guarantee card with the dealer’s/retailer's official stamp and details of the appliance (serial number, etc.).

Safety precautions to be taken when using electrical appliances a. Avoid using handheld appliances when your hand and/or body are wet. b. Do not use or leave appliances where liquid can splash onto them. c. Flexible cords connecting the appliance and the plug should be in good condition, if the

cord is frayed, chaffed, cut or melted, have the entire cord replaced by a competent person. d. Check accessories such as plugs attached to appliances for cracks and burnt marks and have

them replaced. If undue overheating occurs or burnt marks appear in any electrical appliance, have it checked

Some common causes of electrical accidents in the house a. Faulty house wiring: This usually occurs when unauthorised extension or rewiring is done

by unqualified persons. Some of the usual faults are the omission of earth wires and the reversing of the live and neutral wires. Without an earth wire, the exposed metal parts of appliances may deliver a lethal shock to the user when a fault develops.



7.8

b. Improper flexible cords: This can be caused by connecting the flexible cord wrongly to the plug. In the case of appliances which have exposed metallic parts, a 2-core instead of a 3-core flexible cord is used. When the appliance is faulty, the exposed metal parts may become live and a fatal accident could result.

c. Faulty appliance: Attempts to repair faults in electrical appliances by people not trained to do so can result in accidental shock.

To prevent Electrical accidents, the following points should be kept in mind:

All electrical wiring, rewiring or extension work must be carried out by licensed electrical contractors. On completion, the contractors should test before electricity supply is connected.

Repair of appliances and replacement of flexible cords should be carried out only by competent persons.

To ensure electrical safety in the house, a current-operated Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) set to operate at a very small leakage current is recommended. (This is usually marked 100mA or 0.1A on the label).

In case of dangerous electrical leakage to earth, it should automatically cut off the supply of electricity.

DO NOT repair your own electrical appliances. Engage the services of a competent technician.

PREVENT children from meddling with socket outlets. It may cause a tragic accident. DO NOT use multi-way adaptors. Over loading can cause fire. One socket outlet is for one

appliance only. DO NOT carry out wiring extension by your-self. Engage a licensed wiring contractor for

the work. DO NOT use a two-way lighting adaptor for any extension. DO NOT connect any electrical appliance to lighting outlets. A lighting outlet does not

have an earth wire to prevent danger. ENSURE the switch is in "OFF" position before changing bulbs. DO NOT make joints to lengthen the lead of the electrical appliances. If the lead wire is

worn out or too short, replace it with a new wire. DO NOT drive nails carelessly on the wall. There may be concealed wiring inside. USE individual socket outlet for every electrical appliance. KEEP AWAY from danger areas such as a substation for whatsoever reasons. CHECK before carrying out excavation work to prevent damaging any underground cable.

The operator may receive severe electric shock or even be electrocuted. TAKE PRECAUTION when working in the vicinity of overhead lines to avoid any

unforeseen incident. DO NOT meddle with any broken overhead wire. Report the matter immediately to the

nearest electric office.



7.9

DO NOT climb any electric pole. You may receive an electric shock or get electrocuted. DO NOT throw anything onto the overhead lines. NEVER attempt to retrieve anything stuck to overhead lines by whatever means. DO NOT climb transmission line towers. No one is safe from its high voltage shock. DO NOT erect any structure close to transmission lines. DO NOT fly kites close to overhead lines. TAKE PRECAUTION when working in the vicinity of overhead lines to avoid any

unforeseen incident. NEVER stand on a damp or wet surface when using electrical equipment. USE a portable electrical tool, which is properly earthed. DO NOT tap electrical power without a proper plug. DO NOT use any electrical tool which has a damaged casing, cap, switch, lead or plug. BEFORE using portable electrical appliances and tools, always check for:

o Worn or defective insulation o Loose or broken connection o Earth wire connection

7.4.4.2 First Aid and Emergency Procedures Burns are caused by dry heat such as fire, electricity, strong acids and alkalies.

Table 7.4.4.2 First Aid for Burns Burns Covering Small Area Burns Covering Extensive Area

i. Allow cold tap water to run gently over the area or immerse in cold water.

ii. It may be necessary to cover with gauze or a clean handkerchief, and bandage.

i. Allow person to lie down. ii. Cover burned areas with sterile dressing or

clean cloth and lightly bandage. iii. If clothing is adhering, do not disturb; leave

the clothing alone. iv. Keep person warm. If person is not

nauseated, he may have sips of water. v. Arrange for immediate medical care. (Call

108 for ambulance.) Note: Do not use ointments, greases, pastes or powder on burned area. Do not prick the blisters caused by burns. Tetanus Immunization Protection against tetanus should be considered whenever the skin is broken by injuries



7.10

Against electrical shock i. If possible switch off current.

ii. If not, remove casualty from contact with electric source using non-conductive articles like a dry broom handle or dry rope.

iii. Do not touch patient directly, with object that conducts electricity. (Examples of electric conductors: iron, metal, wet clothing, etc.)

iv. Give Rescue Breathing (Artificial Respiration if breathing has stopped.

v. Arrange for emergency medical care. (Call 108 for ambulance.)

Artificial Respiration, Rescue Breathing Technique To be used for a person who has CEASED BREATHING due to drowning, choking, electric shock or other causes.

i. Wipe out any fluid vomitus, mucus or other objects from the mouth with fingers. Be certain to reach into the throat with finger in case there is an object blocking the throat. Remove clothing to expose chest.

ii. Place person on his back, place hand or soft object under neck, and keep the head tilted back as far as possible.

iii. Grasp the angles of the jaw below the ears and lift the jaw so that it juts forward. This will keep the tongue away from the back of the throat, so that air can get in.

iv. Pinch nose with your fingers and blow breath into mouth with smooth, steady action until the chest is felt of seen to rise.

v. Allow lungs to empty. This action should be repeated at the normal breathing rate, i.e. 12-15 times a minute.

8.2

8.4 Employment Potential The main advantage of the construction sector is direct employment generation.

1. Absorbs rural labour and unskilled workers (in addition to semi-skilled and some skilled);

2. Provides opportunity for seasonal employment thereby supplementing workers’ income from farming; and

3. Permits large-scale participation of women workers both during construction and operation phase. The maximum benefit will be for local villagers as they are easily accessible.

Additionally it is estimated that good number of jobs will be created as an indirect employment opportunities at local/regional level due to contractual, marketing and associated jobs directly with the project. The other related employment due to transportation requirement, supply of essential items and services to the project site and other community services will be plenty.

Employment in these sectors will be permanent based on own initiatives and interest of the individual. Involvement of unskilled labour requirement will be continuous basis depending on the requirement of contractor at site. A major part of this labour force will be hired from local villages.

The construction sector has major linkages with the building material industry since construction material accounts for sizeable share of the construction costs of the project. These include cement, steel, bricks/tiles, sand, aggregates, fixtures, fittings, paints, construction equipment, petro-products, timer, mineral products, aluminium, glass and plastics.

9.0 Introduction The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the area of the proposed project site. Hence, it needs proper Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to meet these objectives. The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are discharged. The following mitigation measures are proposed in order to synchronize the economic development of the study area with the environmental protection of the region. The Environmental Management Plan is an action plan aiming to control pollution at the source level to the possible extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are let out/discharged. It encompasses the mitigation measures that are proposed in order to synchronize the economic development of the study area with the environmental protection of the region. 9.1 Environmental Management during Construction The impacts during the construction phase on the environment would be basically of temporary nature and are expected to reduce gradually on completion of the construction activities. 9.1.1 Air Quality Mitigation Measures For the proposed project site levelling and grading will be carried out if required, where ever possible to maintain the natural elevations they will not be disturbed, only levelling activity will be carried out for providing roads, sewage network, storm water system, and places required for construction of apartments. According to the engineering assessment; most of the excavated mud generated for providing basement in apartments shall be reused within the project boundary for levelling during road formation, the excess if any will be given to local contractors for disposal in low lying areas, road constructions, etc. Most of the construction dust will be generated from the movement of construction vehicles on unpaved roads. Unloading and removal of soil material shall also act as a potential source for dust nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below.

1 Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the project area will be done, this activity will be

carried out at least twice a day, if need arises frequency will be increased on windy days, in this way around 50% reduction on the dust contribution from the exposed surface will be achieved.



9.2

2 The duration of stockpiling of excavated mud will be as short as possible as most of the material will be used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.

3 Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the site of dust generation or all around the project site as barrier for dust control.

4 Tree plantations around the project boundary will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation or by regular watering so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.

5 All vehicles carrying raw materials will be instructed to cover with tarpaulin / plastic sheet, unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.

6 To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighbourhood the external part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets

Given the implementation of proper control measures for dust suppression, no adverse impacts are expected and compliance with the Ambient Air Quality is achieved at ASR’s (Air pollution Sensitive Receivers) at all time. 9.1.2 Water Quality Mitigation Measures During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the site gets collected to working pit and if any over flow is, will be diverted to near by greenbelt / plantation area. During construction activity all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for construction purposes, and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc. The waste generated from the site work shop will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc and disposed to authorized recyclers the waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc will be disposed to municipal bins. The domestic wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the work force will be diverted to septic tank followed by soak pit. If the wastewater generation is high a mobile STP will be hired from the local suppliers. Therefore, impact on water quality due to proposed project would be insignificant. 9.1.3 Noise Mitigation Measures Noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement. Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the noise generating activity or all around the project site as barrier for minimizing the noise travel to surrounding areas. Therefore, impact on noise environment due to proposed project would be insignificant.



9.3

All vehicles entering into the project will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow horns unless it is required.

Personal protective equipment like earmuffs, helmets covering ears would be provided to the workers working near noise generating equipment and would see that workers use the protective gadgets regularly.

9.1.4 Solid Waste Mitigation Measures The solid waste generated during construction period being predominantly inert in nature, construction and demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution. However maximum effort would be made to reuse and recycle them. Most of the solid waste material will be used for filing/ levelling of low-laying areas, as road construction material, if any excess given to local contractors for lifting and dumping in low lying areas. All attempts would be made to stick to the following measures.

1 All construction waste shall be stored within the site itself. A proper screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.

2 Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.

3 Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making roads/ pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land filled.

4 The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.

The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high potential for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled materials. Construction waste can be used in the following manner.

1 Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible and depending upon their conditions.

2 Sale/ auction of materials which can not be used at the site due to design constraint 3 Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal, used cement bags, etc can be sent for recycling in the

industries. 4 Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as levelling, under coat of

lanes where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads. 5 Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas. 6 Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material 7 The unearthed soil can be used for levelling as well as for lawn development 8 The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for levelling in the building or

can be disposed off 9 The unused/ remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused/can be disposed off.



9.4

9.1.5 Ecological Aspects During construction period, there could be clearing of vegetation in order to prepare the site for construction, the top soil from the construction area will collected and will be stored separately and will be used for greenbelt development. A comprehensive green belt program will be planned to improve the ecological condition of the region. 9.1.6 Site Security Adequate security arrangement would be made to ensure that the local inhabitants and the stray cattle are not exposed to the potential hazards of construction activities. Round the clock security personnel will be appointed to restrict entry of unwanted people to the site. 9.2 Management during Occupation Stage Necessary control measures will be undertaken at the design stage to meet the statutory requirements and towards minimizing environmental impacts.

During project implementation period special emphasis will be made on measures to minimize effluent generation and dust control at source. The specific control measures related to air emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, solid waste disposal etc. are described below:

9.2.1 Air Quality Management The main activities from the proposed project which cause air pollution are as follows:

Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen oxide from DG set

Dust particulates due to movement of vehicles and road sweepings

The following methods of abatement will be employed for the air pollution control.

DG set will be provided with a stack height meeting MOEF Guidelines or 1 m above the tallest structure in the project area for proper dispersion of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.

Internal roads will be concreted / asphalted to reduce dust emissions

Speed restriction will be followed within the project and speed breakers will be provided at entry and exit points

9.2.2 Water and Wastewater Quality Management The source of water for the proposed project is ground water from bore-well or Municipal supply. During rainy season the roof water will be collected and diverted for fresh water tank, the excess will be diverted to rainwater harvesting structures.

The wastewater generated will be collected by closed pipes and diverted to STP; part of the treated water from STP will be used for flushing, gardening, washing vehicles, etc. The excess treated water will be discharged into public sewers.



9.5

9.2.3 Rainwater Harvesting and Storm Water Management The rainwater harvesting structures are proposed to use roof top rainwater and rain water of paved surface at adjacent of respective buildings. Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit, the required quantity of the treated rainwater will be diverted into fresh water storage tank. Excess rainwater if any will be diverted to storm water drains. Storm water drains will be provided along the roads and along the boundary wall of the proposed project to collect rain water from open areas and greenbelt areas during rains. The storm water drain would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the site, the storm water drains would contain check dams at appropriate distances to retain water for maximum in filtering of the rainwater into ground so that the aquifer can get maximum recharge. 9.2.4 Noise Level Management The specifications for procuring major noise generating machines/equipment would include built in design requirements of 85dB(A) to have minimum noise levels meeting Occupational Safety and Health Assessment (OSHA) requirement

The major sources of Noise Pollution are as follows:

DG set

Water Pumps

The DG set will have silencer and will be provided with an acoustic enclosure. Similarly the Water pumps will be kept in closed room and will be provided with noise barriers/shields and mounted on anti vibration pads. Regular maintenance will be carried out as per the schedule prescribed by the manufacturer for smooth functioning. 9.2.5 Solid Waste Management The municipal / domestic solid waste generated will be collected from all apartments and brought to one place, and it will be segregated into recyclable, compostable and non-compostable. The recyclables will be disposed to local vendors and compostable will be sent compost plant; where as the non-compostable solid waste will be disposed into local municipal bins. 9.3 Green Belt Development Green belt development is one of the most effective environmental pollution control measure. Trees play vital role in the environment in preventing the horizontal dispersion of the pollutants to the surrounding areas. They are very effective in trapping the pollution causing agents viz. dust and gaseous pollutants. They are also considered to be excellent indicators of excessive ground level concentrations. The green belt is being proposed for the following objectives.



9.6

Mitigation of fugitive dust emissions

Noise pollution control

Prevention of soil erosion

Balancing eco environment

Aesthetics The green belt will be covered along the site boundary and along the roads. Apart from the bulk plantation in vacant areas, Roadside avenue plantations will also be taken up. The placement of the plants would be designed as follows:

Trees growing up to 10 m or more in height with thick canopy cover and perennial foliage would be planted along the boundary.

Planting of trees would be done in rows with minimum three rows encircling perimeter of the project. While planting the trees care would be taken that the buildings would be difficult to see through foliage when seen from a point outside the green envelope. For preventing the horizontal dispersion of pollutants, if any, the trees planted in alternate rows would fall in straight line.

Trees would be planted on roadside for containment of vehicular traffic emissions and fugitive emissions due to the movement of vehicles.

Tree trunk being free foliage up to a height of 2 to 3 m, it is proposed to grow shrubs in front of trees so as to give coverage to the open portion.

Sensitive species like Mangifera indica would be planted in patches along the entire green belt to work as an indicator of pollution potential.

A list of plants identified for greenbelt and three tier plantations is given in Table 9.3.1.

10. 4 Conclusion The EMP study has made an overall assessment of the Potential Environmental Impacts likely to arise from the proposed Residential Project. The impact predictions indicate the maximum GLC levels of SO2, and NOx, values were well within the prescribed limits of CPCB standards. The Mitigation measures are proposed to minimize the adverse impacts likely from this activity in the form of EMP. The EMP recommends a two pronged approach of cleaner production and pollution control. 10. 5 Advantages from the project

1. Due to establishment of the project the infrastructure in this part of Hyderabad will be improved. The important areas where we can observe the growth are public transport, telecommunications, public wealth etc.

2. Once the proposed area is established there will more positive impact in the vicinity area like development of roads, other infrastructure facility.

10.6 Disadvantage from the project Once the project is establish there would be negative impacts from project is due to the vehicular movement. This can be controlled by providing green belt at the site roads.
