more than 400 sqm, it will be made mandatory to provide rain water

harvesting system to recharge the rainwater of roof top into

groundwater.

The total power requirement will be 20 MVA on the consumption criteria

of 1.35 watt/sq. feet. The required energy demand will be sourced from

66 KVA Grid Substation located at Mullanpur. There is no proposal to

install D.G sets.

Parking area will be provided @ 1.50 ECS for every 120 sq. yards of

built-up area of all floors by each plot holder.

The monitoring of ambient noise levels was carried out at project site

and the equivalent noise levels during day & night times were found to

be 53.7 dB(A) and 42.9 dB(A), respectively, against the prescribed

standards of 55 dB(A) leq and 45 dB(A) leq. Similarly, at Kurali Road, the

equivalent noise levels during day & night times were found to be 58.8

dB(A) and 46 dB(A), respectively, against the prescribed standards of 55

dB(A) leq and 45 dB(A) leq. As far as the noise of the vehicular traffic

moving on the Kurali-Mullanpur road is concerned, the residential plots

are located at a distance of about 200 m from the said road. Therefore,

the anticipated impact of noise due to vehicular movement on the said

road at the residential houses will not be too high, however, to attenuate

the same a green buffer will be provided.

Each plot holder will be imposed a condition in the allotment letter that

he/she will comply with the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC)

guidelines.

38

For the proper handling/managing the hazardous material, if any,

including electronic waste will be sent to existing hazardous waste

management facility located at Nimbua in Dera Bassi Block.

EMP has been prepared for construction as well as operation phase of

the project.

GMADA will assume the powers and responsibilities for overall

environmental monitoring and management plan both during

construction & operation phase of the project.

The baseline Environmental Quality Monitoring (soil, surface water,

groundwater, noise and meteorological) was carried out in the month of

March, 2011.

Samples of groundwater were collected near from the project site and

the quality of water is found potable in nature.

As per topographical map, there is a level difference of 7 m and the

natural terrain of the site is towards the Jayanti Devi Ki Choe passing

along the site. The surface runoff from this project site has been

proposed to be drained off into this choe through properly designed

storm water drainage system along the major roads. Further, this project

is part of Mullanpur Town and there will be no boundary wall around the

project site. The site will be integrated with the peripheral services.

Therefore, there will be no hindrance to the natural surface runoff.

The SEAC in the said meeting observed that GMADA has not

addressed the following observations in the final rapid EIA report:

1. No land has been earmarked in the layout plan for construction of a

guard pond to be used in case of failure of STP in compliance to TOR.

2. No green buffer has been proposed between the project site and TT site

in compliance to TOR.

3. In compliance to TOR, no possibility has been explored to produce bio-

gas from biodegradable solid waste.

39

4. How much land has been earmarked for installation of STP has not been

prescribed in the EIA study report so as to ascertain as to whether

adequate land area has been kept for installation of STP or not ?

5. No details have been given about house to house collection of solid

waste as per the provisions of Municipal Solid Waste (Management &

Handling) Rules, 2000. Furthermore, no area has been earmarked in the

layout plan for primary collection centres of solid waste and waste

storage depot. No synchronization of the waste storage depot with

primary collection centres and transportation system has been made.

6. No ambient air monitoring has been carried out at the nearest residential

plot from Kurali Road (i.e. at a distance of about 200 m) to assess the

impact of vehicular movement.

After detailed deliberations, the Committee observed that the

GMADA is required to incorporate the reply of above noted observations

in the rapid EIA study report and is required to submit the final EIA

report. The SEAC, therefore, decided to defer the case till the GMADA

submits final rapid EIA report containing the reply of above noted

observations. The decision of the Committee was conveyed to GMADA

vide letter no. 782 dated 09.01.2012.

7. Thereafter, the GMADA vide letter dated 10.01.2012 has informed that

the reply of the observations of the SEAC is being prepared and final EIA

report after incorporating the reply of the same will be submitted by

17.01.2012.

8. The GMADA was requested by the SEAC vide letter No. 5172 dated

28.12.2011 to attend its 55th meeting on 30.12.2011. Accordingly,

following were present in the meeting on 20.01.2012 on behalf of the

project proponent to present the reply of the observations of the SEAC:

i) Sh. Devinder Singh, Executive Engineer (PH), GMADA

ii) Sh. Sandeep Garg, Environmental Advisor, GMADA

iii) Sh. Sanjeev Satyanarayan, Environmental Consultant of M/s Krishna Ganga Enviro System Pvt. Ltd.,

40

Sh. Devinder Singh, Executive Engineer (PH), GMADA, presented

pointwise reply of the observations of the SEAC as under:

1. The estimated quantity of wastewater is 5198 KLD, for the treatment of

which three modules of STP of total capacity 6 MLD will be installed. The

treated wastewater from this STP will be utilized for Horticulture & Flushing

purposes in residential as well as Commercial area, public/semi-public areas

of Eco City. Besides this, Greater Mohali Area Development Authority

(GMADA) being responsible for city level development activities on behalf of

Govt. of Punjab, has proposed a city level Sewage Treatment Plant for

Master Plan of Mullanpur, along which the provision of guard pond will be

kept. He also stated that it has been proposed to construct a treated

wastewater storage tank of capacity 6 MLD and the same will be divided into

appropriate size to use it as a guard pond.

2. A 30 m wide green buffer will be provided between the project site and

Truck Terminal site on the side of Truck Terminal since the same is to be

developed by GMADA.

3. The estimated generation of MSW is 24.75 MT/Day (450 gms/person/day),

which will be collected from house to house and segregated at source. Two

sites have been earmarked in the layout plan for temporary storage of the

same. The GMADA is in the process of developing Integrated Municipal Solid

Waste Management facility in the revenue estate of Village Samgauli, District

SAS Nagar. In the said facility the solid waste will be converted into RDF,

compost, recyclable waste and inert waste. The proposal for generation of

bio-gas from municipal solid waste at site was looked into and not found

feasible. Further, there is already a proposal to produce compost from the

biodegradable component of the solid waste at the Integrated Municipal

Solid Waste Facility to be developed at Village Samgauli, Tehsil Dera Bassi,

District SAS Nagar.

4. About 1.5 acre of land area has been earmarked for installation of STP of 6

MLD capacity.

5. The ultimate MSW generation from Eco city is estimated to be 24.75 MT/Day

(450gms/person/day), which will be collected from door to door and waste

41

will be segregated at source itself. The MSW collection in the Eco-city is

proposed to be conducted in a two stage process. The primary collection

system will take care of collecting solid waste from street sweepings and

door to door waste collection from Residential and Commercial areas by

Municipal workers/private workers and disposed off in near by dustbins or

secondary collection point. GMADA has proposed two secondary collection

points, which have been shown in the layout plan.

6. Ambient Air Monitoring has been carried out at a distance of about 200 m

from Kurali Road, the analysis results of which reveal that the concentration

of various parameters, such as PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO and NH3 is within

the prescribed standards. The ambient noise level was also monitored during

day time at the said site and the same has been measured as 54.8 dB(A) leq

against the prescribed standards of 55 dB(A) leq.

The Committee further observed that the project proponent has

provided adequate and satisfactory clarifications of the observations raised by it,

therefore, the Committee awarded 'Silver Grading' to the project proposal and

decided to forward the case to the SEIAA, with the recommendation to grant

environmental clearance to the project proponent for plotted accommodation in an

area of 412 acres, subject to the following conditions in addition to the proposed
