1.4 Brief Description of the Project

1.4.1 Nature and size of the project

Proposed manufacturing unit for production of food preservatives of capacity 25000 MTA by

M/s. Fine Organic Industries Ltd. at Plot No.E-73 Additional Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad,

Maharashtra

As per EIA Notification dated 14th September, 2006 and its amendment thereof comes

under category “B”activity - 5(f) Synthetic organic chemicals industry (dyes & dye

intermediates; bulk drugs and intermediates excluding drug formulations; synthetic

rubbers; basic organic chemicals, other synthetic organic chemicals and chemical

intermediates).

However, project falls under general condition that any project or activity specified in

Category ‘B’ will be appraised at the Central Level as Category ‘A’, if located in whole or in

part within 5 km from the boundary of: (i) Protected Areas notified under the Wild Life

(Protection) Act, 1972 (53 of 1972). Karnala Bird Wildlife sanctuary falls within 5 km radius

of the study area. Hence, proposed project will be approved at EAC Ind-II, MoEFCC.

1.4.2 Location of the project

The project is proposed at Plot No E-73, Additional Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad,

Maharashtra. The Geographical location of this plot is at 18°52'30.22"N Latitude and 73°

09'48.79"E Longitude with an elevation of 10 meter above sea level MSL. This site is in

premises of MIDC Estate which is meant for these types of Industries. MIDC letter is attached

in annexure. Land is on plain contour, it is flat terrain. Land ownership is with project

proponents. The Land is reserved for Industrial use & the proposed project shall be at the

same plot. Presently there is an existing warehouse on the site admeasuring around 1500

sq.m. of area from that of the plot area. The existing Infrastructure around the site like

water, electricity, telephone facility, roads already available. Other Infrastructure like,

hospital, school, housing, entertainment, daily needs are available easily. There is no other

sensitive establishment in the vicinity such as health resort, hospital. Karnala Bird sanctuary

is within 5 km from the project area.

1.5 Importance to country region

India is a major manufacturing house for bakery products and is the third- largest biscuit

manufacturing country after USA and China (NPCS, 2013). The Indian bakery market is

valued at Rs. 3,295 crore and out of this, bread and biscuits hold 82% of the share

(Assocham, 2012).

India bread market stood at $ 570.73 million in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of

over 11.29%, in value terms, during 2017-2022, to reach $ 974.39 million by 2022. Market

forces and demographic trends are continuously influencing supply and demand; expanding

working population and increasing number of health-conscious consumers are aiding India

bread market. Changing lifestyles due to increased disposable income in advanced countries

led to an increase in demand for processed foods (Wilkinson, 1987). Changes in food

consumption patterns contribute to the development of food processing industry (Gopalan,

1994). Processing not only reduces the perishability but also increases shelf life of a product

and makes it available to the consumer in a ready-to-consume and convenient form

throughout the year is some of the other factors expected to propel demand for bread over

the next five years i.e. 2022.

Thus the proposed product finds its increasing demand in Bakery Industry especially Breads

and Cake application. Present manufacturing facility at Dombivali is falling short for catering

the increasing demands of domestic needs for these additives and also meets the additional

export market needs. Thus company have decided to initiate this proposed project at

additional MIDC, Patalganga.

Export Possibility

Fine’s range of innovative additives have expanded their applications in food, plastics,

cosmetics, textiles, paints, inks, rubber and many more. Thus, 80% of our products are

exported to various countries. Thereby company is adding value to our nation’s Global

business & also benefiting the economy. Similarly the proposed products of this project will

find its export business to cater the increasing demand of bread industry. Thus the

establishment of the proposed project is very well beneficiary & justified.

2.3 Project Description with Processes Details

Brief Process Description:

Process I - Spray Drying method

It is a Neutralization process where Propionic acid or Acetic acid is neutralized with mixture

of hydrated Lime + water in case of Calcium Propionate and Calcium acetate resp. Whereas

in case of Sodium Propionate Propionic acid is neutralized with Sodium hydroxide (Caustic

soda) + water and similarly for Potassium propionate is neutralized with KoH. All the starting

raw materials are mixed till they get completely neutralized. After this the neutralized

mixture is passed through a Filter press to obtain the semi-finished product in liquid phase.

This is then spray dried to obtain the Calcium Propionate / Sodium Propionate powder as

finished product. The steam formed due to drying process will be scrubbed to trap the fines

& then condensed to recycle the condensate, if any, and it will be again recycled at the stage

of neutralization of next batch of product. Process flow diagram for food preservatives by

Spray drying method is given below,

3.5 Physiography

The area fall under Konkan Region of Maharashtra. The district has a long indented coastline.

The Sahayadri ranges in the east send several transverse numbers of subsidiary hills

westwards denying the plains of a uniform level and continuous character. Many of the

subsidiary hills of varying heights reach the coastline to form headlands or promontories.

On the basis of variation in local relief and other characteristics the district can be grouped

into six physiographic divisions i.e. (i) Sahayadri Hills, (ii) Konkan Forested Hills, (iii) Sudhagad

Plateau, (iv) Ulhas Basin, (v) Kal-Savitri Valley and (vi) Raigarh Coast. Raigarh district has six

main drainage systems namely Ulhas, Patalganga, Amba, Kundlika, Savitri, Bhogavati rivers

etc. originated in Sahyadri ranges and flows from east to west.

http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Maharashtra/Raigarh.pd, http://mahenvis.nic.in/pdf/Soer/soer_cor6.pdff

3.5.1 Geology

The geology of the area consists of dark colored volcanic lava and laterites which date back

to Mesozoic period. These are spread out in the form of horizontal sheets and beds and have

innumerable spurs, hills, ridges, peaks and plateau. In the plains and valleys, the lava flows

occurred below a thin blanket of soil which varies in thickness from place to place.

The basalt is a predominant rock formation of the district. The basalts are usually dark grey

to grey in color and are hard compact and tough and fine to medium grained structure.

Deccan Trap rock which is completely impervious to percolation, these causing an accuse

shortage of water in summer. Beds of laterite, usually formed by mechanical and chemical

disintegration brought by atmospheric agencies on the underlying trap, cap of several picks

and lofty ridges in the district.

3.5.2 Hydrology

The district drained most by short westward flowing parallel streams which originate in the

Sahayadri hills in the east and flow into the Arabian Sea. All the rivers are tidal for a

considerable extent. Industrial Estates developed by MIDC namely Additional Patalganga

MIDC located in catchments of Patalganga River Basin A-II class. The Patalganga receive the

tail waters of the Khopoli hydel power station. The depth to water levels during pre-monsoon

ranges between 5-10 m bgl. The depth to water levels during post monsoon ranges between

2-5m bgl. Drainage system of the proposed project study area is given in below figure.

3.5.3 Topography

An uneven topology is an important feature of the district. The proposed site is located near

Patalganga River around 0.6 km. Wildlife sanctuary falls within 5 km radius i.e. around 2 km

in west. Coastline is around 25 km in west. So, there is uneven topology found in the study

area. Digital elevation map of the project site and the study area is given in Figure 3.4.

3.6 Land Use Pattern

Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a

certain land cover type to produce, change, or maintain it. Definition of land use in this way

establishes a direct link between land cover and the actions of people in their environment.

"Grassland" is a cover term, while "rangeland" or "tennis court" refer to the use of a grass

cover; and "Recreation area" is a land use term that may be applicable to different land cover

types: for instance sandy surfaces, like a beach; a built-up area like a pleasure park;

woodlands; etc.

3.6.1 Land Cover of the study area

Land cover is the observed (bio) physical cover on the earth's surface. When considering land

cover in a very pure and strict sense, it should be confined to the description of vegetation

and man-made features. Consequently, areas where the surface consists of bare rock or bare

soil are land itself rather than land cover. Also, it is disputable whether water surfaces are

real land cover. However, in practice, the scientific community usually includes these

features within the term land cover.

Land Use/Land cover for 10 km radius from project site of were delineated based on the

Landsat ETM+ satellite data; the land use/Land cover classes are categorized based on the

ground trothing and site visit. The land is classified in vegetation, barren land, Built up area

and water Body etc. classes, detailed distribution of units showing in the below map, table

and graph.

These images provide the information about the land use pattern of the study area. The

different color represents the settlement or built up land Vegetation (include Agriculture and

forest) area, barren Land and water bodies.

Built up land

It is defined as an area of human habitat developed due to non-agriculture use. The built-up

land in 10 km radius from project site comprises of villages, towns, panchayat and revenue

villages that include buildings, Industries, factories, transport, communications, utilities in

association with water and vegetation. Out of total 24 % (total 76.16 sq.km) of area cover in

Built up class.

Table No. 3.3. Land use land cover statistics of the study area

Vegetation & Agricultural

The vegetation class use is a function of land productivity and land utilization practices over

a period of time. It is an area within the notified forest boundary bearing an association of

predominantly of trees and other vegetation types capable of producing timber and other

forest produces. These lands are generally occupying the topographically high regions.

Vegetation area 24 % of the area.

Water Bodies

This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds,

lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the

satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water. These

areas were identified and mapped as water bodies; this unit is spatially distributed, 3.83

sq.km which is 1 % of the study area.

Open Land and Fallow land

It is described as degraded land which can be brought under vegetative cover with

reasonable effort and which is currently under-utilized and land which is deteriorating due

to lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of natural causes.

Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed constraints such as, by location, environment,

chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints. 51 % of

the Open and Fallow Land are identified in study area.

3.7 Seismology

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has prepared a seismic zoning map of India based on

tectonic features and records of past earthquakes. Approx. 59% of the land area of India is

liable to seismic hazard damage. In India, seismic zones are divided into four zones i.e. II, III,

IV and V.

Zone – V: Very High Risk Zone

Zone – IV: High Risk Zone

Zone – III: Moderate Risk Zone

Zone – II: Low Risk Zone

The site is located in Zone-III Moderate as per the seismic map given in

The concentrations of PM10 PM2.5, SO2 and NOx (Table 3.8 ) were found within the National

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQ).

Interpretation

Particulate matter emission (PM10& PM2.5): After completion of baseline survey it was found

that all ambient air quality parameters are within the NAAQ standards of Central Pollution

Control Board. At Ambivali tarf Wankhal and Borivali, it was found that high percentage of

particulate matter as compared to other monitoring locations as it is densely populated area

and vehicular movement and local activity are higher compare to other.

SO2 emission: SO2 emission is found at Ambivali tarf Wankhal and Borivali due to vehicular

movement.

NOx emission: NOx emission at all monitoring location are within the NAAQ standards. At

Ladivali it was found that high percentage of NOx as compared to other monitoring. Nitrogen

dioxide is a large scale pollutant, with rural background ground level concentrations in some

extent. Nitrogen dioxide plays a role in atmospheric chemistry, including the formation of

troposphere ozone. Nitrogen dioxide is also produced naturally during electrical storms. The

term for this process is "atmospheric fixation of nitrogen". The rain produced during such

storms is especially good for the garden as it contains trace amounts of fertilize

Inference

A review of the above chemical analysis reveals that water from Patalganaga River not

suitable for drinking purposes due to presence of MPN in the surface water samples

collected. This is due domestic activity carried out near river bank. Domestic activity like

washing of utensil, cloths, animal cleaning, human and animal excreta etc. are dumped in

river water. Rest all the constituents are within the limits prescribed for drinking water

standards promulgated by Indian Standards (10500: 2012).

Inference

Higher electrical conductivity of water sample was recorded in bore well, hand pump water

dug well in Karade (Kh.) due to increase in concentration of dissolved ions in water in summer

season. Increasing TDS concentration, hardness is due to salts enter groundwater through

dissolution of soil, rock, and organic material. In summer season might be due to low water

level and high rate of evaporation of water and addition of calcium and magnesium salts.

Heavy metals are not detected in all the samples.

3.12 Soil Environment

Soil is the unconsolidated material on the earth surface that serves as a natural medium for

plant growth. Medium black and deep black soil is observed in the project area.

Methodology

Site visit and collection of soil sample

Manual sample collection using hammer and container bags for collecting

undisturbed top soil.

Sample was taken from the surface to plough depth 0-22 cm

Recently fertilized, old bunds, marshy spots, near trees, compost heaps and farm

sheds etc. these locations are avoided at the time of sampling.

Each Sample collected was a uniformly thick 2 cm slice of soil from the exposed soil

face V in shaped hole.

Selection of locations of soil sample is done on the basis nearest impact zone and

possibility to alter the characteristics of soil due to failure of pollution control

equipment and runoff.

Sampling location & frequency

Soil samples were collected from eight different locations within the study area as shown in

Table 3.15 and Fig 3.11 once in May 2018.

3.13.2 Faunal Studies

Faunal studies were restricted to major groups such as reptiles, birds, and mammals. For

preparation of the checklist of fauna of the project area, direct sightings during various

baseline studies, discussion with local communities regarding presence or absence of species

and literature studies were taken into consideration. The areas reported for the presence of

the species were visited during the day as well as night. Apart from the direct sightings of the

animals during visits, indirect signs such as dry skin, pugmarks, calls, and droppings were also

considered as an indicator for the presence of the species. Field reference book namely ‘Birds

3.14 Socio-Economic Environment

In order to study the socio-economic aspects of the communities living in and around

proposed project, the required data has been collected from the publications of Census

Department, (2011 Census) Government of India.

The growth of any economy is dependent on various factors which include availability of

natural resources, presence of feasible climatic conditions, skilled man-power, infrastructural

support and a steady orientation and research towards growth and development. A vast

range of developmental projects have been carried out in the country. Their sole purpose has

been improving the living conditions of the citizens.

All developmental activities are primarily centered on human development. However, when

a country needs to grow in terms of its industrial and technological standing, infrastructural

development is necessary. Infrastructure ranges from providing resources to employing sets

of skilled manpower for obtaining the desired results. All these elements when balanced at

an international level bring about global development.


EIA report


At a local level when such activities are to be scoped socio-economic surveys play a key role.

They not only emphasize the individual standing of a community but also delineate the

possible socio-economic outcomes of any project. They include all the elements; from the

conditions of the people living in that area to their working status. When developmental

activities are about to occur in any area the socio-economic standing of the locality comes to

the forefront.

A socio-economic survey highlights all the characteristics that jointly constitute a community.

To conduct this study both primary and secondary data sources are used. The methodology

applied for primary data collection is as follows

Sampling Method

A purposive random sampling method has applied for selection of respondents from various

sections of the society. The purposive random sampling method is helpful to choose right

samples for the study.

Data Collection Method

In order to assess and evaluate the likely impacts arising out of any developmental projects

on socioeconomic environment, it is necessary to gauge the apprehensions of the people in

the project area.

Field survey and observations

Field Survey and Observations is made at each sampling village and the quality of life of that

region is studied. The census data is collected from census department. A thoughtful

questionnaire is prepared and during survey the questions were asked to the respondents

and given information is recorded.

Interview Method

The interview method has the advantage that almost all perfect sample of the general

population can be reached and respond to the approach. Interview method helps to collect

more correct and accurate information as the interviewer is present during the field survey.


EIA report


The respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the region and also of their

opinion about the impacts of the proposed project area which is an important aspect of socio-

economic environment, viz. job opportunities, education, health care, housing,

transportation facility, and economic status.

The salient observations recorded during survey in the study area:

Majority of the respondents are engaged in Working in Industry, Cultivation activity

and other work.

Sanitation facilities are satisfactory in the study area. There are open drains from

where the domestic waste water is disposed. People are not at all aware and careful

about hygiene and cleanliness, this has resulted to increase of health problems in the

area

Power supply facility is available in almost villages and town in the study area mostly

for domestic purpose

Drinking water sources is mostly from MIDC, wells and hand pump. As regard to the

drinking water facility

Medical facilities in terms of Hospital, primary health center and primary health sub

centers in the rural areas are good. The hospitals are available, have very good

facilities. Doctors and nurse visit the villages for providing medical treatment.

Transportation facility is seen very satisfactory in the study area because the road

conditions are very good and satisfactory.

Almost all the people use LPG and Kerosene as a main source of fuel and few people

use wood for cooking purpose

Sufficient communication facility are available in the study area

Educational facilities are available in the form of primary and middle schools. In some

villages, it is extended up to high school. For higher studies people avail the facility

from the nearest town

Houses of the region are mostly puccha house

Awareness among the people regarding the study region project is poor

Chapter IV: IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION

MEASURES

In this chapter prediction and evaluation of impacts from the various activities during construction and operation

phase of the proposed project are interpreted. The possibility of alteration of environmental conditions or creation of

a new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under

consideration are described in this chapter. Beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts on various components

of environment are identified based on the nature of the various activities associated with proposed project Predictions

are superimposed over baseline environmental status to derive ultimate environmental scenario

4.1 Identification of the Impacts

The purpose of identifying the impacts is that it aids in making appropriate decision to

mitigate the adverse consequences if any. It may be pointed out that the distinction between

magnitude and importance of impact should be appreciated. Thus the degree of

extensiveness and scale of impacts and the consequences based on value judgments are

generalized while identifying impacts; as it is imperative that the impact will normally lead to

a chain of reactions. The construction of network charts brings out to certain extent the

appropriate levels of risks that may occur due to the interventions while interacting with

hydrological, biological and social systems.

The proposed project may influence the environment of the area in two phases:

Construction phase: During the Construction period, the impact may be temporary or short

term. Construction activities are as under,

Site development (Excavation)

Civil and structural construction

Transportation of raw materials labor

Erection and commissioning phase

Transpiration and Installation of machinery

Erecting other infrastructure


EIA report


Operational Phase: During the Operation Phase which may have long term effects

Fuel & raw material consumption

Storage and transportation

Manufacturing process

Resource utilization (power, water, land etc.)

Waste generation (Solid and hazardous waste): handling, storage and disposal

Air emission and its control

Water and waste water minimization, reuse, recycling and final disposal.

Transportation of raw material and end products

Green belt development

Below mentioned environmental parameters are considered while identifying the impact.

Table No. 4.1. Environmental parameter for impact identification

Air Environment

Sources, ambient air quality, emission control, environment and health effects, meteorological conditions

Water Environment

Sources, water & wastewater quality, environment and health effects

Noise Environment Sources, control measures, environment and health effects

Soil/ Land Environment Land use, change in land use pattern, pollution sources, soil quality change, environment and health effects

Biological Environment Flora and fauna of the study area, vegetation and habitat change and control measures

Socioeconomic Environment

Demographical details, economic status, employment status, infrastructure availability, environment and health effects

Occupational health and Safety Environment

Identification of health hazard due to operation, material handling, exposure of hazardous chemical, health and safety plan and disaster management.

Impact criteria will be

Negligible Impacts: It signifies that the actions have some effect, but it will not cause any

harmful quantifiable damage or benefit to the environmental parameters concerned.

Moderate Impacts: The activities and their environmental impacts are to be slightly potential

significant or significant but for short term

Significant Impacts: If the activities and their environmental impacts are to be potential

significant or reversible


EIA report


4.2 Impact identification

4.2.1 During construction and commissioning phase

The construction phase of the project is expected to last for about one year. Hence, all

construction impacts on the environment can be considered short term as compared to the

operational impacts. During construction stage, excavation, material storage and movement,

vehicular movement, mixing operation etc. could affect air quality. However, such impacts

will be minimized by taking appropriate measures as described in EMP. The following

Model accepts hourly meteorological data records to define conditions for plume rise,

transport, diffusion and deposition. The model estimates the concentration value for source

and receptor combination for each hour of input meteorology and calculates user-selected

short-term averages.

Air modeling

Air pollution causes harmful effect on environment and on living organism. Air pollutants

can be in the form of particulate matter which can be harmful to human health. Short-term

effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such

as bronchitis and pneumonia. Others include headaches, nausea, and allergic reactions.

Short-term air pollution can aggravate the medical conditions of individuals with asthma and

emphysema. Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer,

heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys. Continual exposure to

air pollution affects the lungs of growing children and may aggravate or complicate medical

conditions in the elderly.

Air emissions from stacks and other sources can cause health and nuisance problems in the

locality. Air Dispersion Modelling predicts emissions from a site and help explore the effect

of various solutions. The air dispersion model will take the stack emissions and combine these

with the weather conditions and effects of topography (hills, buildings etc.) and then predict

the concentration at ground level of the emissions. The concentration of the substances are

then generally compared to the ambient air quality standards.

EIA report


Methodology

The dispersion modeling studies of proposed pollutant was carried out using AERMOD

version 8.1.2 which is also approved by United States Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) and also recommended by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate

Change (MoEFCC).

The AERMOD atmospheric dispersion modeling system

Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants

disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include

algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The

dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration of air

pollutants or toxins emitted from sources. They can also be used to predict future

concentrations under specific scenarios.

Prior to air quality modeling exercise, meteorological condition of one season within the

study area was studied. Concentrations were estimated for the critical pollutants over 8 and

24 hours and compared with NAAQS.

Potential Air Environment Impact Assessment

During operation phase, three Thermo pack 15 lac kcal/hr will be proposed with separate stack.

The main air pollution source and SO2 and NOx may be expected as prime criteria air pollutants.

Based on the model simulation result under observed meteorological condition, 24 hours

average maximum GLC of SO2 and NOx due to proposed boilers are predicted to be

approximately 11.0 and 11.12 µg/m3 respectively and occurs at a distance at about 750 m from

the common stack location in the SE and W direction. Model simulated result envisages that

incremental ground level concentrations of critical pollutants due to proposed plant operation

may be expected minimal and the resultant concentration level of SO2 and NOx pollutants may

also be expected well within the NAAQS.

administration etc. are available with existing MIDC. Community facilities such as quarters,

medical services, education and training facility etc. are also available at site.


EIA report


Environmental features of site

There are no biosphere, mangrove, national parks etc. or protected monuments, historical

places within 5 km from the site. Karnala Bird Wildlife sanctuary falls within 5 km radius i.e

around 2.5 km in west. Hence, proposed project will be apprised at EAC Ind-II, MoEFCC.

Patalganga River is flowing at a distance of 0.6 km in North West from the project site. Nearest

village is Karade Village at 0.30 km., nearest town Mohopada at 3 km, Panvel at 13 km.

5.2 Technology Alternatives

The technology selection is done on the basis of following considerations

Indigenous technology

Least stress on resources

Reduce, recycle and reuse of wastes

Reduce the pollution from the industry

No risk to human and property

Technology selection has been done on the basis of efficient utilization of raw material, water,

electricity, fuel, and considering the recycle and reuse of wastes generated from industry.

Proposed industry will be manufacturing food preservatives i.e. Calcium Propionate / Sodium

Propionate powder/ calcium acetate through spray drying method and mixing method.

Proponent has proposed, use of clean fuel PNG. At present Add. Patalganga MIDC does not

have PNG gas provision. Whenever, PNG come to MIDC, factory management will switch to

PNG, so as to reduce air emission from the stack.

5.3 Conclusion

This chapter described possibility for alternative of site location and technology. Proponent

has considered efficient utilization of raw material, water, electricity, fuel, and considering

the recycle and reuse of wastes generated from industry. Due care will be taken from the

factory management to adopt newer technology which will reduce consumption of the

resources which ultimately reduce carbon foot print.

7.3.12 Consequence Analysis

7.3.12.1 Introduction

The accident scenarios as identified during HAZOP study are divided in two categories

considering the consequence seriousness and occurrence frequency.

Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS)

Worst Possible Scenario.

7.3.12.2 Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS)

Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) is one of the methodologies evolved to access the

events in realistic and practical way. An MCLS can be described as the worst “credible”

accident or as an accident with a maximum damage distance, which is still believed to be

probable. Minor Leaks from hose/ piping failure are quite probable events. Such accidental

release is considered as MCLS.

Worst Possible Scenario

Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) Accident Scenario accidental

release of Acetic acid release followed by dispersion down wind and fire/explosion is

considered as Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident).

7.3.13.1 Event Tree

Event trees begin with an initiating event and work toward a final result. This approach is

inductive. The method provides information on how a failure can occur and the probability of

occurrence. Frequency of the incident is estimated by Event Tree.

POOL FIRE EVENT FREQUENCY: 1 X 10-4 per Year

Figure No. 7.1. Event Tree


EIA report


Initiating event frequency/yr range (all causes included) is 1 x 10-2 to 1x 10-3 typical frequency

values assigned to initiating events. (Raf: Table 11.3, Chemical process safety fundamentals

4 Diesel pool fire 1.0 × 10-4

It is reasonable to assume this frequency however it should be noted it depends heavily upon

the maintenance of the hardware and of the management procedures; neglect of either will

lead to loss of protection and the rating will rise to the original estimate (a ) indicated above

7.3.14 Impact Assessment

7.3.14.1 Toxicity Impact

ALOHA modeling of the vulnerable zones is superimposed on satellite site maps Called

MARPLOT for acetic acid release is as follows

Figure No. 7.2. Marplot: Vulnerable Zone: Acetic acid release


EIA report


Short Term Exposure: Can cause severe irritation, burns, and permanent eye damage. Skin

contact can cause severe irritation and burns. Breathing can cause irritation of the mouth,

nose, and throat; coughing; and shortness of breath. Higher exposures can cause

bronchopneumonia and pulmonary edema, a medical emergency. Medical observation

recommended for 24_48 h following inhalation overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be

delayed.

Figure No. 7.3. Marplot: Vulnerable zone: Acetic acid release

Short Term Exposure: Corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Contact can cause

severe eye burns, leading to permanent damage. Skin contact causes skin burns. Inhalation

can cause irritation of the respiratory tract with mild cough; asthmatic response was found in

medical reports of acute exposure of workers.


EIA report


Figure No. 7.4. Marplot: Vulnerable Zone: Propionic Acid Release

IMPACT

Acetic acid and Propionic acid release - ERPG 3 concentration prevails up to 117 and 75

m downwind respectively and immediate evacuation of the area is required

It is reasonable to assume that well trained employees within the vulnerable zone are

likely to move out of this zone in less than 10 minutes hence avoiding fatality.

It should be noted that depending the prevailing atmospheric conditions at the time of

the event the impact will undergo change.

The event if not controlled immediately has potential of serious off site consequences

affecting surrounding population.

Acetic acid can react with water and/or water vapour. This can affect the downwind

dispersion estimate.

7.3.15 Thermal Radiation Impact

Release of Flammable material leading to Pool fire at tank farm will result in thermal

radiations and likely to have direct impact on the personnel in vulnerable zone with burn

injuries and even fatality as given in below table,

7.3.15.1 Impact

Acetic acid and Propionic acid release followed by pool fire is estimated to be resulting 30

% and 31 % damage within 9.9 and 10.5 m radius zone respectively.

Thermal radiations of 10 Kw/m2 from Acetic acid and Propionic acid are likely within 10 and

20 m radius zone respectively, which is mainly tank farm. It is reasonable to assume that well

trained employees within the vulnerable zone are likely to move out of this zone within 90

seconds hence avoiding fatality. Continued exposure to heat flux of 4.0 KW/m2 level of heat

flux or greater is considered sufficient to cause injury. Hence, injury risk is likely up to 10 m

around the pool fire it may be noted that thermal effect of a pool fire is usually limited to a

distance of 2 to 3 times the pool diameter. Acetic acid and Propionic acid pool fire impact at

Assembly point will not be significant.

7.3.15.2 Over Pressure Impact

ALOHA modeling of the vulnerable zones are superimposed on satellite site maps called

MARPLOT for estimation of impact Flammable vapors cloud in flammable range finding

source of ignition resulting into vapor cloud explosion is considered as Worst case scenario

EIA report


7.4 Conclusion

The potential consequences from the hazardous scenarios identified are determined and the

impact zones modeled using ALOHA and PHAST software tools. The primary consequence

types are pressure wave, thermal radiations, and toxic gas release. The stable atmospheric

stability conditions, ambient temperature of 30oC, wind speed was 1.5 m/s. and humidity

(50%), No inversion used for Consequence Analysis.

Consequence analyses is carried out modeling propionic acid evaporating pool, dispersion

down wind, and pool fire is considered as worst possible scenarios having potential for serious

off site consequence are considered for further quantities risk estimation . Consequence

analyses of furnace oil and Diesel storage tanks pool fire are also carried out.

Apart from the maximum credible releases, the conservative approach appears in adoption

of atmospheric conditions, used in the dispersion calculation. In general, the assumptions/

conditions will result in the largest damage distances. Hence, it must be remembered that this

analysis will be pessimistic & conservative in approach & is only a planning tool. Its use should

not be extended without understanding its limitations. Estimation of the event frequency of

event is carried by developing Event tree for spill of Acetic acid, Propionic acid & Fuels at

storage tank installation. Initiating event frequency as available from the literature is

considering while developing the Event tree. The vulnerable zones as obtained during

consequence analysis are superimposed on the satellite image of site plan termed as

MARPLOT to assess the impact on the site activities and surroundings. The individual risk

considering 80 employees engaged in site operations is estimated. The site is located in MIDC

industrial Area hence assuming the same population density as that of the site societal risk of

fatality is estimated data collected for constructing F-N curve. It should be noted that the risk

estimation is for unmitigated risk. A series of risk mitigation measures are of two types 1) to

reduce the probability of undesired event and 2) reducing the severity of the consequences.

As a part of risk mitigation measures in order to address the residual risk after providing risk

mitigation measures following disaster control plans are prepared. Emergency Preparedness

Plan, On Site Disaster Control Plan and Off Site Disaster Control Plan. In essence these plans


EIA report


are relevant to emergency level 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The offsite disaster control plan gives

fact sheet and other dove tailing data for further use by the disaster Management Authorities.

The study reveals that the risk posed by the proposed site activities are at reasonably

acceptable level however, it should be noted it depends heavily upon the maintenance of the

hardware and practicing of the management procedures; neglect of either will lead to loss of

protection and the rating will rise to the higher level .

Chapter X: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a system to address potential adverse impacts and to instruct project

proponent to introduce standards of good practice to be adopted for all project activities. EMP will ensure that the

project will be implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner and where all concerned persons of the industry

as well as contractors, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project to implement

appropriate actions so that risk can be managed properly. Detail description pertaining to identification of pollution

sources, its assessment, and related impact along with mitigation measures are given in Chapter IV

10.1 Introduction

Environmental Management is a resource management and environmental planning similar

to development planning. Suitable environmental management measures need to be

incorporated during the entire planning, construction and operating stages of the project to

minimize any adverse environmental impact and assure sustainable development of the area.

Proposed project is a manufacturing unit for food preservatives and it is well connected all

cities nearby. Details of the proposed project are covered in Chapter II whereas; various

existing environmental scenarios are presented in Chapter III Deliberations and prediction

of environmental impacts and its analysis are made in Chapter IV. Environmental Impact

Analysis carried out in Chapter IV indicated that proposed developmental project would

have less significant impact on the environmental attributes. On the other hand, it will have

beneficial impacts on socio-economic features, and occupational structure provided

following measures are undertaken. The EMP is generally:

Prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MoEFCC and the State

Pollution Control Board

To ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance with the design

Process that confirms proper orientation through supervision and monitoring

System that addresses public complaints during construction and operation phase

Plan that ensure remedial measures are implemented immediately.


EIA report


The key benefits of the EMP are that, it provides the organization with means of managing its

environmental performance thereby allowing it to contribute to improved environment

quality. The other benefits include cost control and improved relation to stakeholders.

EMP includes four major elements

Commitment and Policy: of proposed project will strive to provide and implement

the Environmental Management Plan that incorporates all issues related to air, land

and water.

Planning: This includes identification of environmental impacts, legal requirements

and setting environmental objectives.

Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the developers,

accountability of contractors, training of operational staff associated with

environmental control facilities and documentation of measures to be taken

Measurement and Evaluation: This includes monitoring, corrective actions, and

record keeping.

During study of the environmental attributes it was seen that all the aspects would be

considered to promote the better development in case of future aspects of project as

well as environmental aspects.

10.2 Environmental management during construction phase

The construction activities of the proposed unit will increase dust concentrations and fugitive

emission. The following control measures are recommended to mitigate the probable adverse

impacts.

10.2.1 Site preparation

The development of site for erections of plant structure, office building & other allied

activities shall require careful management planning as the construction activities shall be

located in plain barren land owned by the project proponent. It is necessary to control the

dust nuisance that would be created by excavation, leveling and transportation activities so

that impacts on the various components of environment would be minimized. Minor


EIA report


vegetation clearance will be required at site along with soil excavation. Regular sprinkling of

water around vulnerable areas of the construction sites to control the dust spread or emission

into the atmosphere. However identified impacts would be of temporary type and within the

plant boundary. Excavated soil will be covered with tarpaulin sheet or shall be kept in such

way that dust emission will be avoided. Green belt area shall be developed to reduce air and

noise pollution impacts. Top excavated soil be used in greenbelt development, rest hard rock

will be used in leveling work. First aid facilities shall be made available during construction.

10.2.2 Noise

Though level of construction activities shall not be very high, still some specific sources of

noise like welding, transportation, movement of earth movers, tractors, concrete or asphalt

mixing etc. should be carried out in a controlled manner. Neither the plant nor the

construction workers should be exposed to excessive noise levels. No idling of machine shall

be allowed during construction activities night time construction activities and vehicular

movement shall not be allowed. Personal protective equipment like ear muffs or ear plugs,

masks etc. will be provided to workers who will be exposed to high noise.

10.2.3 Construction equipment and waste

Transport vehicles as well as transport routes should be properly maintained during whole

construction phase to minimize smoke / dust emission from vehicle exhausts and unpaved

roads. Composite solid wastes including metal scrape, earthwork, other wastes, getting

generated in construction process should be disposed of in safe manner. Certain hazardous

waste materials, though the requirement of such materials shall be small, should be stored

safely and be disposed of properly.

10.2.4 Site security

To ensure that the local inhabitants are not exposed to these hazards, the site shall be secured

by fencing and manned entry points. It will be fully illuminated during nighttime

Necessary care will be taken as per the safety norms for the storage of the chemical products

Contractor will supervise the safe working of their employees.


EIA report


Barricades and fences will be provided around the construction area personnel

protective equipment’s e.g. safety helmet, goggles, gumshoes, etc. will be provided

to the workers.

Accidental spill of oils from construction equipment and storage sites will be

prevented.

Tree plantation will be undertaken during the construction phase to prevent air

pollution.

Provision of mobile toilet facilities during construction period

10.3 Environment Management Plan for Operation Phase

Factory proposes comprehensive environment management plan to combat pollution arising

from the project activities. Detailed EMP is described below for various environmental

parameters.

10.3.1 Air Pollution Management

Baseline ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out during the month of March

2018 to May 2018. It is observed that the concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and

VOC’s are well within the prescribed limits as per the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards. The major sources of air emissions from the proposed projects include non-

point and point source emissions.

The major sources of air pollution from the proposed projects will be from flue gas

emission, process emission and vehicular emissions. There will not be any air emission

anticipated from the process.

10.3.5 Greenbelt Development

Development of greenbelt in and around the industrial complex is an effective way to

attenuate air pollution. The degree of pollution attenuation depends upon height, width,

foliage, surface area of leaf and density of planted trees. Greenbelt will be developed as per

CPCB guidelines. Taking into consideration ecological perspectives and availability of space

and other aspects greenbelt development has been planned for the proposed project. This

will help in increasing the aesthetic effect of the environment. Greenbelt will be developed

along most of the periphery of the project area as well as along roads for avenue plantation.

Area under plantation will be 1491 sq. m. (33 % of the open available plot area). The following

characteristics have been taken into consideration while selecting plant species for green belt

development and tree plantation.

Fast growing

Thick canopy cover

Perennial and ever green

Large leaf area


EIA report


Preferably Indigenous

Resistant to pollutants and should maintain ecological balance for soil and geo-

hydrological conditions of the region.

Abundance of surfaces on bark and foliage through roughness of bark, epidermal

outgrowth on petioles, abundance of auxiliary hairs, hairs or scales on laminar

surfaces and protected stomata (by wax, arches, rings, hairs, etc.)

Since, the greenbelt development will be done as per the requirement i.e. type of activity

performed at a particular area/ block/ plot, thus the tree spacing will vary from plot to plot.

Therefore, approx. 320 plants (including trees and shrubs) are proposed for the greenbelt

development. The general guidelines for development of greenbelt will be as follows:

Trees growing up to 5 m or more will be planted along the plant premises and along

the road sides

Planting of trees will be undertaken in rows.

Open areas inside the plant boundary will be covered with grass.

The spacing between the trees will be maintained slightly less than the normal spaces,

so that the trees will grow vertically and slightly increase the effective height of the

green belt.

Since the trunks of the tall trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to have

shrubs in front of the trees so as to give coverage to this portion.

Shrubs and trees will be planted in encircling rows around the project site.

The small trees (<10 m height) will be planted in the first two rows (towards plant side)

of the green belt. The tall trees (>10 m height) will be planted in the outer three rows

(away from plant side).

Trees should be planted along road sides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise pollution.

10.3.6 Rainwater Harvesting Plan

The Rain Water Harvesting (RHW) program can helps in many ways starting from conservation

of natural resources to prevention of soil erosion. Rainwater is very helpful to industry in

terms of saving of economy of water consumption. The rainwater collection by roof top

harvesting has been preferred at present for the proposed project. Proponent has planned to

conduct a detailed study after inception of proposed project for assessment feasibility,

suitability of available techniques for implementation of rainwater harvesting program.

Proponent has decided to conduct rainwater harvesting. The collected rain water will be used

for groundwater recharging. The probable available catchment areas worked out to be

approximately 12000 m2. The calculated harvesting potential details are provided in Table

10.6.

Storm Water Drainage Line: Channels will be installed wherever required to collect and

transport rain water to the storage tank. Drainage will be semi-circular and will be made using

Galvanized Iron sheet folded to required shapes. Drainages will be fixed using Iron Brackets.

Conduits: Pipes will be used to carry rain water from catchment to the recharge pit, passing

through filter. A valve will be put at the end of wall for first flushing.

Filter: Sand Filter will be used to remove suspended pollutants from the rainwater.

Recharge: After filtration, water will be recharged using percolation pit, filled with pebbles or

brick and river sand and covered with perforated concrete slabs. Depth of recharge pit will be

designed according to ground water table of the area.

10 The quantum of water that could be harvested in the study area is calculated using the

formula,


EIA report


Harvesting potential = Catchment Area (m2) * Runoff Coefficient * Annual Rainfall (mm)

RWH Quantification

Runoff coefficient for calculating flow for rainwater design based on Central Pollution Control

Harvesting potential (m3) Rooftop area 7893.11547 15966.34 m3/year Road area 4525.35

Open area 3547.8744

Recommendations: Owing to the nature of aquifer rock, i.e. moderately weathered,

fractured/jointed at most of the places, it is having moderate potential for recharge of

aquifers.

1. Based on the survey and sec. information area shallow recharge structures such as

recharge bores of limited depth around 2-5 m are suitable for the area.

2. Recharge pit around the dug well is recommended on site.

3. A recharge pit of 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.5 m depth should be constructed around the with filter

media.

Surrounding recharge pits and filter media as provided in the design can be sufficient to

recharge the aquifer area available on site in a scenario of reasonable distributed rainfall in

the season.

http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Maharashtra/Raigarhf


EIA report


The surface run off is not directly led into the recharge bore, to avoid chances of

contamination of groundwater. Instead rainwater is collected in a recharge pit which will

be 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.5 m depth. After the excavation the pits are filled with pebbles,

boulders as well as coarse sand which act as filter. The size of the filter material is generally

taken as:

Coarse sand – 1.5 to 2 mm

Gravels – 5 to 10 mm

Boulders- 5 to 20 cm

The filter material should be filled in graded manner. Boulders at the bottom, gravels in the

middle and coarse sand at the top. Inside this tube well a perforated casing should be inserted

up to the depth where the upper loose strata give way to the hard strata. The annular space

between the tube well and the slotted casing should be filled with gravel.

11.8 Project and Environmental Cost Benefits

Proposed Project has a demand in bakery industries especially breads and cake application.

Other Unit of Fine Organic Industries at Dombivali is falling short for catering the increasing

demands of domestic needs for these additives and also meets the additional export market

needs. Thus company has decided to initiate this proposed project at additional MIDC,

Patalganga. Nearly 80% of the products will be getting exported to different countries which

are certainly increasing the foreign exchange. Also many of our products are equal or better

in quality to that of certain imported products. This reduces the dependency as well as money

of our customers by importing the products. In social benefit project will open an avenue for

the young generation of our nation by generating employment at our project site.

Factory proposes zero liquid discharge method for waste water treatment. Maximum waste

water will be recycled back into the system. Factory will be reuse of process water, recycling

of ETP treated water, recycling of used oil, use of power saving equipment’s, natural

ventilation designs in construction phase, use of thermal insulations wherever heat transfer

is anticipated, CFL lighting, photosensitive switches, rainwater harvesting.
