zone of seismicity.

Air Environment

AAQM was carried out in 8 locations on 24 hourly average basis as per guidelines of CPCB

and NAAQS within 10 km radius of the study area. PM10 and PM2.5 was found in the range of

71 to 92 μg/m3 and 32 to 43 μg/m3 respectively. SO2 found in the range of 19 to 34 μg/m3 and

NOx: 35 to 48n μg/m3. The PM10, PM2.5, SO2 &NOx parameters are found within the

permissible limit as per NAAQS level. Other parameters like VOCs, Heavy metals, Benzene

etc. were found within permissible limit.

Noise Environment

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. A total of 8 locations were identified for ambient

noise monitoring in the study area. The daytime varied from 42 dB(A) to 70 dB(A) and night

EIA REPORT


Page 16


time noise varied of 46 dB(A) to 68 dB(A). Both daytime noise and night time noise were found

within the limit.

Water Environment

In order to establish the baseline water quality, 8 ground water and 3 surface water samples

were collected and analyzed in the study area. The analysis result for ground water samples

were within drinking water limit as per IS 10500: 2012. The surface water quality is within

NAAQs November 2009 as per classification of water quality criteria.

Soil Quality

Soil samples were collected from 8 locations in the study area and analyzed for physico-

Chemicals characteristics. Soil quality was found to be normal.

Particle Size: Particle sizes of the different constituents (clay, silt, sand and gravel) control the

porosity and water holding characteristic of the soil. Clay (size < 0,002mm) amount in the soil

samples is 14% to 15% and Sand (size 0.002 to 0.075mm) in the soil sample is 68% to 70%.

All the samples in the study area are free of gravel (size > 4.75mm). Analysis shows it is

sandy soil with less water holding capacity Biological Environment.

Land Use/Land Cover of the Study Area

The basic purpose of land use pattern and classification in an EIA study is to identify the

manner in which different parts of land in an area are being utilized or not utilized. Remote

sensing data provides reliable accurate baseline information for land use mapping, as it is a

rapid method of acquiring up-to-date information of over a large geological area.

Biological Environment

Biological environment includes flora and fauna including aquatic species found in the study

area of 10 km radius.

Flora: Dominant families of plants recorded in the study area are Caesalpiniaceae,

Mimosaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Papilionaceae. The area showed overall 71

plant species from 60 genera and 32 families.

EIA REPORT

Fauna: The various animal species in the study area are found, detailed study is given in

Baseline Chapter-3. Field observations of fauna were carried out. The commonly available

mammals, amphibians, reptiles, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies within 10 km

surroundings were enumerated

Socio-economic Environment:

Socio-economic data were collected from within 10 km radius of the Project site. These include

30 villages as per census of India 2011. According to the 2011 national census, the population

of Ankleshwar was declared to be 3,15,596 With regards to Sex Ratio in Ankleshwar, it stood

at 892 per 1000 male compared to 2001 census figure of 933. The average national sex ratio

in India is 940 as per latest reports of Census 2011 Average literacy rate of Ankleshwar in

2011 were 85.74 compared to 78 of 2001. If things are looked out at gender wise, male and

female literacy were 79.51 and 70.69 respectively. For 2001 census, same figures stood at 55

and 45 in Bharuch District.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures

Air Environment

In order to estimate the ground level concentrations due to the emission from the

proposed project, AERMOD View – Lake Environmental Software has been

employed.

These predicted ground level concentrations when added to baseline scenario, the

overall scenario levels of PM10, SO2, NOx, are well within the permissible limits

specified by CPCB.

1.4.3. Importance to country, region

Ankleshwar & Surrounding area has emerged as major chemical manufacture city with a presence in

global market. Chemical industry in the state contribute more than one third to the country total

production.

Raw materials purchase from indigenous production. This helps in the economic development of the

country to a great level. Thus, to decrease the dependency on imports, the project can work in a positive

manner.

Our products have good demand in national markets. We shall export the products & in local market as

well as in Asia Pacific Region.

1.5. Scope and Methodology of the study

The scope of the EIA study is based on the generic structure of environmental impact assessment

document as stated in the Appendix III of the EIA Notification 2006 (S.O. 1533), Ministry of Environment

and Forests, Government of India.

The scope of the study includes a detailed characteristic of environment in the study area associated

with the proposed development on various environmental components. For the purpose of

environmental assessment, areas within 10 km radius of the project have been studied and the following

methodology will be adopted:

Generation and collection of baseline data for valued environmental components as per the EIA

guidelines.

Identification and quantification of significant environmental impacts due to the project and

associated activities.

Evaluation of impacts due to proposed expansion activities and preparation of an environmental

impact statement

CHAPTER 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1. Introduction

This section of the report describes the features of the proposed project in detail to allow an assessment

of its environmental impact. A complete description is important to understand the potential

environmental implications of the initiative and accordingly addressing issues in an appropriate manner.

Description of the proposed expansion project components and activities are presented together with

the aspects during the construction and operation phase of the project which are also important from the

environmental perspective.

This chapter highlights the features of proposed chemical manufacturing plant with respect to storage

yard for storage of raw materials, utilities, infrastructure facilities and sources of waste generation, their

quantity, treatment and safe disposal of the waste.

2.2. Type of project

The project is neither an interlinked project nor an interdependent project. The proposed project is a new

manufacturing unit for the production of Various Chemicals & Intermediates. For the manufacturing of

the new products, some equipments and machinery will be utilized. The project falls under category ‘B’,

section 5(f) “Synthetic organic chemical industry” of EIA notification 2006 and subsequent amendments.

2.3. Need for the Project

This report highlights the details of the selected site, raw materials, availability of water, fuel and

electricity, features of the main plant equipment, environmental aspects, estimates of the project cost

and the schedule for the project implementation.

2.4. Justification of Project

M/s Vishwa Chemicals has been incorporated with main object to manufacture SO chemicals &

Intermediates which have a good export potential. The Proposed expansion unit is tolocated at, Baroda

– Ankleshwar Express Highway, A/p –Ankleshwar GIDC Estate. The site is well connected by roads and

close to National Highway (NH-8), Railway station (Ankleshwar ,2.1 km) and Airport (Surat - 54 km). The

raw material required for this plant is easily available from and within local markets of Gujarat.

Manpower required is easily available and which in turn will generate employment. Products are

primarily meant for export for which import and export facilities are available in Gujarat. Moreover, this

will result in revenue generation and socio-economic upliftment through CSR activities.

Step-1: Charge N,N-Dimethylformamide to reactor then charge sodium hydride (50% inparafin oil) to it lot wise while chilling water circulation to jacket.mix the mass. Now charge N-methyl formamide to it. Maintain the reaction mass at 25-30°C. Now charge 1chloromethylnaphthalene solution in toluene. Maintain the reaction mass at 40-45°C.Once the reaction is over quench the mass to water. Add toluene to reaction mass & extract with toluene. Separate organic layer & distill out toluene completely to get N-methyl-N(1-Naphthylmethyl)-formamide which is directly used in next step. Step-2: To the reactor containing N-methyl-N-(1-naphthylmethyl)-formamide charge 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide and heated at 60-70°C for a period of 7hr. Cool the reaction mass and extract with toluene. Separate organic layer and extract with Hydrochloric acid. Decolorize the aqueous layer with activated charcoal. Filter the mass & collect the filtrate. Add 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide and toluene to it. Separate the organic layer. Distill out toluene completely to get Methyl-1-naphthalene-methaneamine. Pack to carboys.

2.11.6. Details of Solids Waste

During Operation Phase:

Total domestic waste will be generated during the operation phase is about 2.5 kg/day. The generated

waste that is bio-degradable waste (1.5 kg/day) and Non bio degradable waste (1.0 kg/day) will be

handed over to authorized vendors or sent to disposal site as per Solid Waste Management Rules,

2016.

2.12. Green Belt Development

Total 257 m2 area will be earmarked as green belt in premises. Suitable local plants of variety of

species are planted with adequate spacing.

2.13. Rain Water Harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is already provided in the project to conserve the storm water. Adequate care

has been taken while making efficient planning for percolation of rainwater into the sub- surface

without directly draining it outside and conserving maximum extent of rain water within the facility.

In order to allow percolation of rainwater into the ground, rainwater harvesting structures along the

boundary of the project has been provided to enhance the groundwater potential while raising the

water table in the area.

Run off from the proposed project site is calculated using rational formula:

Q= C x I x A

Q = Run-off in m3/hr

A = Catchment Area (sq.mt) C = Coefficient of Run-off

I = intensity of Rainfall in m/hr

CHAPTER 3. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

3.1. Introduction

The baseline environmental qualities of various environmental components like air, noise, water, land,

flora and fauna and socio-economic form an important and integral part of any environmental study. The

baseline data forms the basis for predicting/assessing the environmental impacts of the proposed

project. The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field surveys within the impact zone as

well as secondary data for various components of the environment, viz., air, noise, water, land and

socio-economics.

M/s Vishwa Chemicals is proposing manufacturing of new products in existing facility at Plot No

4801/A/13, G.I.D.C. Ankleshwar, Dist: Bharuch .The coordinates of site are Latitude 21°61'80.22" N and

Longitude 73°03'81.92" E.

The present report comprises the data collected during the sampling period of three months, from

March’17 to May’17. Various environmental components were monitored and samples were analyzed.

The baseline quality of various components of the environment, viz. air, noise, water, land, biology,

meteorological and socio-economic is assessed within the impact zone of about 10 km around the

proposed site. Secondary data has also been incorporated from authentic sources viz.

Government/Non-Governmental Agencies, Universities, Indian Meteorological Department (IMD),

Ground Water Board etc. Various environmental components were monitored and samples analyzed.

3.2. Methodology

The methodology for conducting the baseline environmental survey has been obtained from the

guidelines provided in the “EIA Guidance Manual for Synthetic organic chemicals Industry” issued by the

Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). Environmental attributes and frequency of monitoring is

given in Table 3.1.

3.3. Topography

Ankleshwar is located near South side of Gujarat; therefore, most of the land is dry and arid in

nature. Moreover, the topography of Gujarat is characterized by the small hilly tracts especially

around the Rann of Kutch region. Thus spread over a vast area, the topography of Gujarat is

divided into 3 major regions, namely, (1) The Peninsular - the region, which is also known as

Saurashtra, is essentially a hilly tract. (2) The Kutch - It is a barren and rocky area containing

the great Rann. The Rann is further divided into the Greater Rann and the Lesser Rann. (3)

The mainland that extends from the Rann of Kutch and the Aravalli hills to the river

Damanganga. The Gujarat has six major drainage systems namely, (1) Narmada River, (2)

Sabarmati River, (3) Tapi, (4) Purna, (5) Damanganga, (6) Rukmavati, etc.

3.5. Geomorphology & Soil types

Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth crust that serves as a natural medium for the

growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated mineral factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients

for plants and crops. It also provides mechanical anchorage and favorable filth.

The study area has alluvial sandy loamy soil locally known as Goradu (or Gorat) or Bhatta.

Goradu are nothing but alluvial soils of older origin while Bhatta soils are of recent origin

deposited chiefly along the banks of river. The soils of this group are very deep, well drained,

fine soils on very gently sloping alluvial plain with moderate erosion; associated with deep,

moderately well drained, calcareous, fine-loamy soils with moderate erosion.

3.6. Hydrogeology

The geology of the area is underlain by recently placed alluvium, brown sand and millolite sand.

As per the Geo-Environmental Regions of Gujarat, the study area falls in the Northern Alluvial

Plains.The average elevation of thestudyarea is about 72 m above mean sea level. There are

no hills or hillocks in thestudy area. The entire area of the district is underlain by the

basalticlavaflow so fupper Cretaceousto lower Eoceneage. The shallow alluvial formation of

Recentage also occurs as narrow stretcha long the major rivers flowing in the area.

3.7. Seismology

According to the seismic-zoning map of India, the project area falls in Zone III-Moderate Risk zone of

seismicity. The region has experienced quite of few earthquakes from past decades.

As per the Seismic Zone classification by IS 1893 (Part-I): 2002, Ankleshwar falls under

Seismic Zone III (Figure 3.2) which falls under Moderate Risk Zone.

3.9. Meteorology

Observation on Meteorology: The meteorological parameters play a vital role in transport and

dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere.

3.10. Climate: The climate of Gujarat is varied, as it is moist in the southern districts

and dry in the northern region. The Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Khambhat in the west

and the forest-covered hills in the east soften the rigours of climatic extremes,

consequently reducing the temperature and render the climate more pleasant and

healthy. The mean minimum temperature is about 20°C and means maximum

temperature is about 42°C. The normal annual rainfall over the district about 852 mm.

3.11. Relative Humidity: The mean monthly average of Relative Humidity values for

Ankleshwar station was recorded & Relative Humidity is generally high during the

period from March to May, 2017. The diurnal variations are least during monsoon

season. The diurnal variation is highest during summer period. Relative humidity is

maximum 76 % and minimum 28 %.

3.12. Cloudiness: The skies are heavily clouded to overcast during the south-west

monsoon season. In May and October, the clouding is moderate. Clear or very lightly

clouded skies are common in the rest of the year.

Winds: Wind data are as mentioned in table No. 3.2

Ambient Air Quality

Reconnaissance: The quality of ambient air depends upon the background concentrations of

specific contaminants, the emission sources and meteorological conditions. The study on

baseline ambient air quality status in the project area is an essential and primary requirement

for assessing the impacts on air environment due to any proposed developmental activity.

The baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution

parameters expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in ambient

air within the impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study

area, monitoring is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air.

Methodology for air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored

on 24 hourly average bases twice in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS.

Theconventional and project specific parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less

than 10 µm), particulate matter PM2.5 (size less than 2.5µm), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides

of Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored.

Selection of Stations for Sampling: For EIA, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline

pollutant concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain

quality of air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10

km radius study area.

The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant

installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 8 locations to generate representative

ambient air quality data.

Observations on Ambient Air Quality:

It could be noticed from the results, the air quality of the study area is within NAAQS November 2009, in µg/m3

Values of PM10 in the background environment ranged from 71 µg/m3 to 92 µg/m3. Average

values of PM10 found to be around 81.5 µg/m3 was observed to be within the permissible limit of

100 µg/m3.

The values of PM2.5 range from 32 µg/m3 to 43 µg/m3. The average value of PM2.5 was 37.5

µg/m3 and found to be within NAAQ standard of 60 µg/m3.

The values of Sulphur dioxide levels were found to vary from 19 µg/m3 to 34 µg/m3. The

average values of SO2 26.5 µg/m3were found to be well within NAAQ standard of 80µg/m3. The

value of Nitrogen oxide ranged from 35 µg/m3 to 48 µg/m3. The average values of oxides of

Nitrogen 41.5 µg/m3were observed to be well within the NAAQ standard of 80µg/m3. The value

of VOC ranged from 1 µg/m3 to 3.9 µg/m3.

The Value of HCL ranged from 1 µg/m3 to 9 µg/m3.

Noise Environment

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and hearing. If intense

enough, it can damage hearing, or is otherwise irritating. The definition of noise as unwanted

sound implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can

also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.

The objective of the noise pollution survey in the study area is to identify existing noise sources

and to measure background noise levels.

Reconnaissance

In order to measure the existing noise sources and to identify the background noise levels, the

noise pollution survey around the proposed site was carried out. The collection of baseline noise

environment data included Identification of noise sources and to measure background noise

levels and Measurement of noise levels due to transportation and other local activity.

3.13. Soil Environment

Soil is our most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from the

earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay & water. Soil

is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc. These are very

beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by which essential

nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made-up of two main parts:

Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in color

and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.

Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms, roundworms,

insects, etc. Actually more living organisms live in the soil than above it.

For general characterization of soil a few random samples from the study area to the depth of about

15-cm may sufficient. Deeper soil samples may be needed only for the study of soil profile.

Methodology

The soil samples were collected from 8 selected locations during monitoring season. The samples

collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub-locations

were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below the surface. It

was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples. The samples about 500-gms were

packed in polythene bags labeled in the field with location, number and sent to the laboratory for the

analysis of physicochemical parameters.

Soil Sampling Locations

Soil sampling was conducted once during the study period of monitoring season. 8 soil samples were

collected from selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. For studying soil quality

environment in the study area, sampling locations were selected to assess the existing soil conditions

in and around the existing plant area representing various land use conditions. The homogenized

samples were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics.

Analysis of Soil Samples

The soil samples were examined for various physicochemical parameters, to determine the existing

soil characteristics of the study area.

Interpretation of Analytical Results & Conclusions

It is observed from the analysis report that;

Particle Size: Particle sizes of the different constituents (clay, silt, sand and gravel)

control the porosity and water holding characteristic of the soil. Clay (size < 0,002mm)

amount in the soil samples is 14% to 15% and Sand (size 0.002 to 0.075mm) in the soil

sample is 68% to 70%. All the samples in the study area are free of gravel (size >

4.75mm). Analysis shows it is sandy soil with less water holding capacity

3.14. Biological Environment.

Biological resources of the area are an indicateor of quality/health of the environment of the area.

Therefore, the study of the same is an omporant aspect to minimize the distribution due to the

intervention of the proposed project to accept in a sustainable approach. To achieve the goal, EIA

study was conducted during the month of March to May, 2017 to cover all the biological parameters.

Nature supports a great variety of living beings under a structural and functional unit called

ecosystem. In any natural ecosystem, there are several components which exist in harmony and

survive only by interdependence. These components may be either biotic or abiotic. Developmental

There are no protected areas in the vicinity of the project area. There are also no monuments of

historical and archaeological importance within the study area.

c) Aquatic

Preamble

Plankton is an important component of ecosystem, which responds to ecosystem alterations

rather rapidly. It is due to the fact that planktonic organisms, which react to different types of

water pollution, play a key role in turnover of organic matter and energy through the ecosystem.

This reaction is very rapid because of relatively short lifetime and high reproduction rates of the

organisms.

Water sample within 10km periphery were collected fromSabarmatiRiver. To enumerate

phytoplankton, unfiltered surface waters were collected from the water bodies. Phytoplankton

samples were immediately fixed after collection in Lugols Iodine solution so as to prevent

adverse effects of light and temperature which might cause rapid decay of organisms. Further

microscopic analysis was undertaken in laboratory. For zooplankton, desired volumes of water

were filtered through plankton net having mesh size of 75µ to represent all the available groups.

Drop count method for the analysis were followed, as prescribed in APHA (1995).

Phytoplankton

Amongst 5 groups, Chlorophyceae dominated over Cyanophyceae and Bacillariophyceae.

Euglenophyceae and Pyrophyceae were rarely present. Genera like, Anabaena sp., Phormidium,

&Oscillatoria from cyanophyceae and Spirogyra, Chlorella, Ankistrodesmus, Pediastrum,

Scenedesmus, Microspora, Cosmarium, Oedogonium, Sorastrum and Ulothrix from

Chlorophyceaewere dominant.

3.15. Socioeconomic Environment

Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance has been done to assess socio-economic status in the study area. The study

area is rural however basic amenities were observed to be available.

Methodology

Detailed socio-economic data were collected within 5 km radius of the existing Project site.

Preliminary information was collected during field investigation followed by secondary data from

the census of India 2011.

Socioeconomic Assessment

Socio economic status of the population is the indicator of the change in the life style due to the

developmental activities taking place in the region. The villages which appears within the 5 km

radius from the centre of the proposed Project site are considered for socioeconomic study.

Demography

There are 37 villages in the study area. The demographic pattern of all the settlements as per

2011 census is given in Table 3.22.

Chapter 4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures

4.1 Prelude

Prediction of environmental impacts is the most important component in the impact assessment

study, as it provides quantitative information on anticipated environmental impacts from a project

well in advance. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are available for

predicting impacts from developmental projects on the surrounding physicochemical, ecological

and socio-economic components of environment. The results obtained from the predictions are

superimposed over the baseline data (pre-project) to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of

environmental quality status in the study area around the proposed project site. The quantitative

impacts derived from predictions are also essential to delineate effective environmental

management plan for minimizing the adverse impacts on the surrounding environment during

construction and operation phases of the project.

The following sections identify the potential impacts on the environment from the proposed

project based on the nature and extent of the various activities associated with the project

implementation and operation, as well as the current status of the environmental quality at the

project site. Both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts are considered.

4.2 Valued Environmental Components and Potential Impacts

The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air, water,

soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed

manufacturing of synthetic organic Chemmicals intermediates and require focused evaluation are

summarized in the following sub-sections, considering both construction phase as well as

operation phase of the project:

4.3.1 Potential Impacts during Project Operation

Impact on Air Environment

Impact on Noise Environment

Impact on Water Environment

Impact due to Solid Waste/ Hazardous Waste

Impact on Terrestrial Ecology

Impact on Land Environment

Impact on Socio-economic Environment

EIA REPORT



4.3 Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Project Implementation (Construction phase)

4.3.1 Air Environment, Noise Environment, Land Environment, Solid and Hazardous

waste, Site Security and Safety, Water Environment, Soil Environment, Socio- economic Environment, Health and Well-being of Construction Workers

There will not be any significant environmental impacts on the above aspects because there is

minimal construction and/or machenary installation work involved in the proposed project. The

proposed project is a new manufacturing unit of Synthetic Organic chemicals&Intermediates. For

the proposed production capacity, some machinery such as reactors, centrifuge, mill, etc. will be

installed & some foundation work will also be carried out as per requirement.

4.4 Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Operation phase

Some of the potentially significant environmental impacts from the proposed project will be in

Water environment, Land environment, Air environment, Soild- Hazardous waste, Soil quality,

socio-economics, Ecology &biodiversity, Odour problem and Energy conservation.

4.4.1 Air Environment

Air environment is likely to be affected due to emissions from combustion of fuels used in

machineries, vehicles, Boiler and DG Set. Point and non point source of pollutants will be there

which may cause serious threat to the air quality and it can result in many secondary impacts like

occupation & social health, corrosion of metallic structures of area etc.

Mitigation Measures:

DG set will be operated as a power back-up only.

Stack of adequate height as per CPCB norms will be erected.

Periodical monitoring will be carried out.

To control the fugitive emission proper practices regular maintenance of plant and similar

measures will be practiced for proposed project.

Scrubber is installed for process emissions. Another scrubber will also be installed for further

expansion project.

The air quality impacts have been predicted for the proposed plant assuming baseline air quality.

Site-specific meteorological parameters have been recorded by continuous monitoring. Short

term 24 hourly GLC's incremental values were estimated using the site-specific meteorological

conditions.

EIA REPORT



Model and Methodology for Computation

AERMOD View – Lake Environmental Software, which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric

dispersion algorithm for estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the

Ground Level Concentrations (GLC’s) of TSP, SO2 and NOx due to proposed plant activity. The

GLC’s were predicted on 24 hourly average basis keeping in view the prescribed national

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).

Data used for Modeling

The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for

prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.

4.4.2 Noise Environment

Impact:

Operational phase impacts will mainly result from the operation of compressor and transfer

pumps. Noise level near the compressor has been predicted to exceed 75 dB(A), therefore site

workers shall be provided with personal protective equipments (PPEs). Also, it has been

envisaged that noise impacts on local community due to proposed project activities will be

insignificant as noise levels of less than 45 dB(A) have been predicted at a distance of one

kilometerthe impacts will be insignificant. Noise may also be generated due to movement of

heavy vehicles, medium vehicles and automobiles during operational phase. However, it has

been envisaged that increase in noise impacts due to vehicular movement will be temporary and

marginal to be considered for their impacts on nearby human settlement.


Rubber pads or any other noise absorbing materials will be provided around noise

generating sources like pumps and blowers etc.

Workers will be provided with PPEs like ear plugs, ear mufflers etc.

EIA REPORT



Periodic maintenance of machinery shall be undertaken to reduce the noise impact.

In case of Power failure, DG sets will be used with acoustic enclosures.

Sufficient green area will be maintained in & around the project site, which will act as a

noise barrier.

4.4.3 Water Environment

Total water requirement of the project for domestic & Industrial activity during operation phase

will be 13.0 KLD. Water requirement for the industrial purpose will be 9.0 KLD, for the domestic

purpose will be 2.0 KLD and 2.0 KLD for green belt. Main source of water supply is GIDC Estate.

Waste water will be generated from domestic activities (3.0KLD) and washing activity (0.35 KLD).

Washing water will be collected and reused and domestic wastewater will be disposed in Soak

pit.

4.4.4 Storm Water

Impact: The rain water from the building roofs, paved areas and other areas will be directed

through closed pipeline to natural drainage.

4.5 Mitigation Measures:

It will be ensuring that no plant area water get mixed with storm water drain. Surface run-off from

the site is channelized through storm water drains and treated in new ETP.

4.5.1 Surface Water Quality

Impact: It is proposed to treat all the industrial wastewater generated from the proposed plant in

the ETP which will be reused in different activities. Thus, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) will be

achieved. Hence, proposed project will not have any impact on surface water resources.

4.6.1 Land Environment

Impact:

During operation phase spillage or leakage in any form may destroy the quality of soil around the

plant. Impact of chemicals will be taken into consideration while handling materials. Every

precaution will be taken to prevent spillage. Solid wastes will be segregated and handed over to

authorized vendor. Thus no significant impact is envisaged on soil environment.


EIA REPORT



The green area development and tree plantation will help in enhancing the aesthetics of the

plant.

4.7.1 Solid and Hazardous Waste

Wastes like process waste and organic waste are to be separately collected & sent for safe

disposal or sold to the authorized vendor. The final hazardous wastes from the plant as classified

under Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules,

2016will be disposed off in the common hazardous waste secured landfill site or send to the

authorized vendors/to the authorized recycler.


Hazardous waste generated from the facility shall be disposed off in suitable manner as per the

Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. The

hazardous wastes generated such as used oil, Distillation residues, Waste residues, spent

solvents, ETP Sludge, Oil & grease skimming, Filter material, discarded product material (R & D

basis) and Discarded containers generated from the proposed project shall be collected and shall

be sold to the authorized recyclers or CHWTSDF site or authorized vendor identified by the

GPCB/CPCB. Authorization from GPCB has already taken for Hazardous Waste disposal to

authorized vendor.

Solid waste management includes following:

Measures to minimize waste generation

Operation of waste handling, treatment and disposal facilities

The hazardous solid wastes generated from the proposed expansion projectwill be sent to

disposal siteas per GPCB/CPCB guidelines. The waste management plan includes:

Waste inventory

Classification of waste

Packaging, storing and transporting wastes to disposal site

Data management and reporting

Contingency plan

Personnel training

Waste minimization

The requirements, which will be specified in the Authorization from MPCB, will be followed. The

manifest system will also be implemented for control and record keeping.

EIA REPORT



Resource Conservation/ Waste Minimization:

The unit shall also implement the concept of waste minimization circle including:

Volatiles in the by-products will be condensed and reused.

Volatile raw materials and solvents will be separated by fractional distillation and will be

recycled into process.

Good House Keeping:

Proper housekeeping practices make the system easier and less costly. Some of these are as

follows:

Solid wastes generated from the process and packaging are to be separately collected

and disposed off instead of allowing these to join effluent streams. This will reduce load

and increase the efficiency of treatment system.

Liquid wastes from various sections such as scrubbing facility, recovery and purification of

final product shall be collected and stored separately and released at a regulated rate so

as to avoid shock loads to the treatment plant.

Minimizing Solid Wastes Disposal:

The following points are suggested to facilitate solid wastes disposal:

Efficient collection and transportation mechanism for disposal of solid wastes.

Search for future recycling schemes and evaluate their worth and implement such

schemes wherever a promise of economic feasibility exists.

Discarded Container/ Barrels/ Liners Management:

Discarded containers/ barrels will be kept at a designated place with paved surface.

These will be decontaminated (washed/cleaned) and after that will be stored in the

designated area in storage yard. Later on these will be sold to the authorized vendors/

recyclers as per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary

Movement) Rules, 2016.

The record of discarded containers/ barrels stored in storage yard will be maintained and

also, inventory of their selling to the registered recyclers will be maintained.

EIA REPORT



4.8.1 Socio-Economic Environment

Impact:

The proposedproject will have some positive impact on the industrial growth in the region. It is

anticipated that during the operation phase, the proposed project will generate some direct and

indirect employment due todifferent activities.


The overall project will have a long term benefit and hence no mitigation measure is required.

However, as per the skills, preference to local people shall be given in employment.

4.9.1 Ecology and Biodiversity

Impact:

The project activity does not require tree cutting during land clearing and the plant activities are

not expected to have any impact on the ecology and biodiversity.


A total of 257 m2area has been earmarked for greenbelt development, which will help in

development of biodiversity. The indigenous plants are planted along with ornamental

trees/shrubs to provide an aesthetic environment within and around the plant. The maintenance

of the greenbelt developed will be ensured and survival rate of the plants will also be studied

every half yearly. Treated water will be used for greenbelt development.

4.10.1 Odour Problem

Impact:

Some of the processes and wastes generated from the plant may release high odour.

Undesirable odourcontributes to air quality concerns and affect human lifestyles. On the

economic front, loss of property value near odour-causing operations/industries and odorous

environment is partly a consequence of offensive odour. Odour is undoubtedly the most complex

of all the air pollution problems. Mainlyodour generated by the industries varies enormously since

they can be generated during the production, processing, or even in the waste water treatment

areas of the plants.

EIA REPORT




Control of VOCs and fugitive Emissions:

Sampling points will be provided with double valve followed by suction hoods which will

be connected to ducting system leading to scrubbing system.

Odour causing raw materials will be charged in closed chambers with exhaust of

chambers connected to ducting system leading to scrubbing system.

All waste storage tanks and waste preparation and raw material storage tanks will be

connected to vacuum system. These off gases will be connected to scrubbers.

Additional Measures

“Odour rounds” by non-plant personnel will hold regular meetings and odour rounds in the

factory premises for ensuring effective implementation of odour control measures.

As a long term measure to improve the environment, plantation of trees within factory

premises as well as along the nearby roads is done.

All critical vessels, pumps and reactors which have potential to generate odour will be

fitted with mechanical seals to prevent leakage and therefore odour.

De-odorizer solution will be sprayed through special network, which will be laid around the

plant. It will help in neutralizing the fugitive emissions.

Beneath all sample points/ drain points, spill control powder containing trays will be kept

so as to adsorb even slightest of leakage, if at all arises from these points. The spill

control powder will then be sent for disposal as a solid waste.

4.11.1 Energy Conservation

During the operation phase of the project, energy resources will be required for operating various

pumping machineries for water & wastewater, internal road lighting, common utilities etc.

The following options can be used for energy conservation:

Energy efficient machineries shall be used during operation phase as per Energy

Conservation Building Code 2007.

Wherever possible in the plant, utilization of renewable sources of energy for

conservation of non-renewable sources of energy shall be ensured.

Sufficient care shall be taken to prevent/ minimize energy losses at each stage of

development.

EIA REPORT



Every year energy audit shall be conducted through competent authority nominated by

Govt. of India.

4.12.1 Safety Provisions

All the provisions as per the Factories Act, 1948, Manufacture, Storage and Import of

Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 and amendments thereafter and also, the

Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016

CHAPTER 5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

5.1 Introduction

It is the best practice that the EIA should consider project alternatives and their relative potential

impact on the environment. Alternatives must, however, be both practical and reasonable, within

the overall constraints of the proposed project development. The project alternative is the way of

action in pace of another, that would meet the same purpose and need, but which would avoid or

minimize negative impacts and enhance project benefits.

Project activities may consume natural resources and discharge wastes, which are likely to have

serious consequence to the environment. A number of alternative options may be available to

carry out many of these activities. An option with least or nil adverse environment impacts is to

be selected. Critical analysis is therefore required for selection of the right alternative. Alternative

Analysis (AA) has been done for critical aspects of the project.

M/s Vishwa Chemicalshasproposedfor manufacturing capacity of synthetic organic chemicals &

Intermediatesat the new facility. While selecting this site for manufacturing of new products,

Vishwa ChemicalsIndustries has considered following factors:

5.2 Analysis of Site Alternative

The project is in proximity of Bharuch district of Gujarat State. Site is located near the Baroda –

Ankleshwar Express Highway. Proponent is very well familiar with the surrounding environment as

it is an expansion project; therefore, it becomes easy for the unit to expand the production

capacityon above said location.

The other supporting features are briefly summarized hereunder,

Availability of all basic facilities like infrastructure, communication, Transportation, medical

facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled & skilled manpower, raw materials, road network etc.

Nearest town Hifajatnagar 2.48 km away from the project site, which are very well

connected with other parts of the country by road & rail;

Minimal additional construction or plant/ equipment/ machinery are required for proposed

expansion and addition of new products.

As the proposed project is an expansion project, there is no Rehabilitation& Resettlement

involved;

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAME

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Programme

Environmental Monitoring describe the processes and activities that need to take place to

characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental Monitoring is used in the

preparation of the environmental impact assessment, as well as in many circumstances in which

human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring

strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the

current status of an environment and prediction of the impact of future development and/or

alteration in the operation and design of existing installation. Environmental Monitoring Network is

operation phase of the project for monitoring of various Environmental parameters like air, water,

Noise, soil etc.

M/s Vishwa Chemicalsis located at Plot No 4801/A/13, G.I.D.C. Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Gujarat.

Usually, as in the case of the present study, an impact assessment study is carried out over a

short period of time and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by natural or by human

activities. Environmental Monitoring Program will be modified as per requirement after the

proposed expansion at existing plant.

6.2 Objectives of Monitoring

To comply with the statutory requirements of monitoring for compliance with conditions of

EC, NOC and CC&A.

To comply with the provision of factory Act.

To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to new

development.

Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition to plan

additional mitigation measures; if & as required.

To check or assess the efficiency of the controlling measures.

To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment

study, do not become critical through the commissioning of new project.

To establish a data base for future impact assessment studies for new project.

6.3 Environmental Monitoring Program

Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during construction and operation phase of the

project.

EIA REPORT



6.3.1 Monitoring and Reporting Procedure

Regular monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters is of immense importance

to assess the status of the environment during an operational phase. With the knowledge of

baseline condition, the monitoring program can serve as an indicator for any deterioration in

environmental conditions due to operational phase and suitable mitigation steps could be taken in

time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since

the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. The proposed monitoring

program gives below:

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

Both ambient air quality and stack emission will be monitored. The ambient air quality with respect

to NOx, SO2, suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) will be monitored in at least 3-5

location in and around the project site through a reputed environmental laboratory recognized by

MoEF/NABL. Monitoring will be carried out for quarterly in operation phase. Similarly, all the

stacks in the proposed unit will be monitored once in three months with respect to NOX, SO2,

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) level.

Waste water monitoring

The wastewater emanating from the different stream of industry will be monitored once in a month

for physico-chemical characteristics. Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and

periodically check the Physical, chemical as well as biological parameter as per drinking water

standard IS: 10500:2012.

Noise level monitoring

Monitoring of the noise level is essential to assess the effectiveness of Environmental

Management Plan implemented to reduce noise levels. A good quality sound level meter and

noise exposure meter may be procured for the same. Audiometric tests shall be conducted

periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. The noise levels due to

machines and equipments will be monitored regularly.

Monitoring Equipment and Consumables

A well-equipped laboratory with consumable items will be provided for monitoring of important

environmental parameters. Alternatively, monitoring can be outsourced from MoEF/NABL

recognized laboratory.

CHAPTER 7: ADDITIONAL STUDIES

7.1 Risk Assessment

Accidental risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an

event or sequence of events resulting into fire, explosion or toxic hazards to human health and

environment.

The hazard potential and estimation of consequences in case of its accidental release are the

issues of immediate relevance to be considered. It is therefore, imperative to carry out Maximum

Credible Accident (MCA) analysis at the first stage, which identifies vulnerable areas around the

facility and suggests a set of recommendations to improve safety.

The work undertaken consists of the following stages:

Collection of relevant data on project description and proposed activities.

7.1.1 Hazard Identification& Risk Assessment (HIRA)

The regulations require the employer, in consultation with employees, to identify:

a. All reasonably foreseeable hazards that may cause a major accident; and

b. The kinds of major accidents that may occur, the likelihood of a major accident occurring

and the likely consequences of a major accident.

HIRA must address potentially rare events and situations that ensure the full range of major

accidents and their causes. To achieve this, employers should:

a. Identify and challenge assumptions and existing norms of design and operation to test

whether they may contain weaknesses;

b. Think beyond the immediate experience.

c. Recognise that existing controls and procedures cannot always be guaranteed to work as

expected; and learn lessons from similar organisations and businesses.

The HIRA worksheet is presented as below.

7.2 Disaster Management Plan

7.2.1. Introduction to Disaster Management Plan

The various controls including engineering, procedural and administrative are provided to control

the manufacturing activities at the industries; however, things may go wrong even with the best

arrangements. The Disaster Management Plan is prepared to control and minimize the effect of

any emergency which may occur within the industrial premises affecting the employees or the

people in the surrounding; it may also affect the environment.

The disaster/emergency may arise as a natural calamity such as Floods, Earthquakes, etc. or

may be a Man-Made Disaster such as a Leakage/Spillage of Hazardous Chemicals/Gases or

Fire and Explosion.

A Disaster Management Plan is an action plan drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be taken

by various groups to contain the disaster/emergencyincident within shortest possible time and

with minimum losses to people, material, property and environment.

It is the responsibility of the establishment/industry that the disaster/emergency plan is widely

circulated for benefit / training of all the employees within the premises and the individuals

residing in the surrounding areas of the premises It is the responsibility of all the individuals in

their respective areas to ensure the success of this plan.

Objective

The main objectives of preparing the On Site / Off Site Emergency Plan are:

1. To define and assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment.

2. To establish the procedures to handle emergency situation that may arise due to spillage and

fire while handling plant & equipment.

3. To control and contain incidents within shortest possible time and to restore normalcy.

EIA REPORT



4. To safeguard employees and people in vicinity and to minimize damage/loss to property

or/and the environment.

5. To inform employees, the general public and the authority about the hazards/risks assessed,

safeguards provided, residual risk if any and the role to be played by them in the event of

emergency.

6. To be ready for 'mutual aid' if need is arised to help neighboring unit. Normal jurisdiction of

an OEP is the own premises only, but looking to the time factor in arriving the external help or

off-site plan agency; the jurisdiction must be extended outside to the extent possible in case

of emergency occurring outside.

7. To establish procedures to appraise District Administration / Civil authorities/ and mutual aid

centres etc. in order to ensure prompt relief for execution of Emergency Response Plan.

8. To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore normalcy.

9. To provide authoritative information to the news media.

10. To preserve records, equipments etc., and to organize investigation into the cause of the

emergency and preventive measures to stop its recurrence.

11. To ensure safety of the works before personnel re-enter and resume work.

12. To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide for emergency

preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of the plan.

Definition

An emergency could be defined as any situation which presents a threat to safety of persons

or/and property. It may require outside help also.

A major emergency occurring at a work is one which may affect one or several sections of the

plant and possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries that may cause serious injuries, loss of

life, and extensive damage to property or serious disruption outside the works. It will require the

use of outside resources to handle it effectively.

Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many

instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and as a

result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life,

such as -

EIA REPORT



1. Disasters resulting from natural phenomena like earthquakes volcanic eruptions, storm,

surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, landslides, forest fires and massive insect

infestation. Also in this group, violent drought which will cause a creeping disaster landing to

famine, disease and death must be included.

2. Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon the

environment, such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires, explosions and

escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural

collapses; air, sea, rail and road transport accidents, aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles

carrying inflammable liquids, oil spills at sea, and dam failures.

The on-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies within

the factory and not affecting outside public or environment.

The off-site emergency plan will deal with measures to prevent and control emergencies

affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should provide the

necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such incidents.

Level of disasters

The NDMA Guidelines categorize the levels of disasters, based on the ability of various

authorities to deal with them. In order to facilitate the responses and assistances to States and

Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows.

1. L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation,

prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation

and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this time.

2. L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State and

Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed.

3. L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State,

mobilization of its resources for management of resources.

4. L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District

authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government for

reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other response and

recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster as determined by

the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department (IMD)/ Indian

EIA REPORT



National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for the declaration of

L3 disaster.

Scope

The M/s Vishwa Chemicals has prepared Disaster Management Plan in order to provide proper

guidance to plant operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental spillage or fire /

explosion / bursting of vessel/tank or any natural calamity or sabotage.

With this objective comprehensive information has been gathered and analyzed on the synthetic

organic chemicals & Intermediates handling plant and equipment which includes the hazardous

properties of materials/chemicals, fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures incorporated

in the plant, emergency procedures and finally regarding the constitution & responsibility of

Emergency Rescue Team (Emergency Response & Management Team / Task Force).

The potential hazards which may cause emergency includes:

Chemical Fire / Explosion in the plant or storage area

Electrical Fire in the plant or storage area.

Accidental spillages and leakages during handling of material and plant / equipment failure

causing severe health hazard due to employees’ exposure to the hazardous substances.

Methodology

A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life,

extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.

This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and

quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should be

self-evident.

No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety

procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of

emergencies.

The Disaster Management Plan describes the Organization & procedures for dealing with

potential accidents arising from the operations of M/s. Vishwa Chemicals.

Experiences of accidents that have occurred in various other similar plants were considered in

the preparation of DMP especially storing & handling the materials identical to this plant. This

EIA REPORT



plan will need periodic review & modification following emergency exercise, or include any new

information relating to changes to the facilities.

The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every

occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for

his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity of

the plant.

Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the same

time, it must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards for

working consistence with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.

7.2.2. Information on risk evaluation preliminary hazard analysis

The DMP is needed to respond to a variety of emergencies / disasters:

i. Disasters due to emergency on account of:

a. Fire or Explosion

b. Electrical Fire

c. Spillages and Leakages

a. Fire or explosion: The organization is storing &handlingbulk drug & intermediates which can

ignite if exposed to source of heat / ignition. The various sources of heat / ignition include hot

work, mechanical frictions, naked flames, static electricity, hot surfaces etc.

b. Electrical Fire: The Electrical fire may be caused due to generation of static charge during

charging of materials. The other reasons for fire include use of faulty or inappropriate

electrical equipment, transformers, DG sets etc. Also dry grass is normally avoided in the

premises and it will be ensured that there is no grass (dry) at any point of time by ensuring

better housekeeping

c. Spillages and Leakages: During handling of material and plant / equipment failure causing

severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous substances. Spillages

and leakages of flammable substances may also lead to fire.

ii. Disaster due to natural calamities such as:

a. Flood

b. Landslides & Mud flow

c. Earth quake

EIA REPORT



d. Heat Wave:

iii. Disaster due to external factors such as:

Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism: No solution can be offered to eliminate either terrorist

threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope with them when such

incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and implement both good physical

security and a comprehensive bomb threat response plan.

The action plan responding to an emergency situation depends very much on the level of the

emergency which, itself is defined by the consequences arising from the types of hazard

identified.

7.2.3 Disaster preparedness

This section highlights the Organization for disaster preparedness. For an industry storing /

handling flammable substances, it is essential to prepare a good effective disaster plan to control

On Site – Off Site emergencies and to mitigate losses. The disaster management plan

(emergency response plan) ensures that all available resources, facilities etc., are enforced into

services at right time to tackle an emergency.

It is not possible to envisage and detail every action which should be taken in emergency and to

harness the basic elements of emergency preparedness such as Gravity of emergency,

Communication of information, on-site action for process and emergency controls, Mobilization of

internal and external resources for fire and spillage etc.

Emergency Organization is set up specifying duties and responsibilities of all to make best use of

all resources and to avoid confusion while tackling the emergency.

Disaster Management Plan / On-Site Emergency Plan (Emergency Response Plan) highlights

the flow of information and co-operation among various action groups within the factory. Off-site

Emergency Plan indicates various action groups at district levels which will be engaged in case

of off-site emergency.

Emergency organization and arrangement include:

CHAPTER 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 Prelude

Environmental Management is basically resource management and environmental planning is

similar to development planning. The conventional resource management and development

planning look at the issues from narrow micro-economical point of view while environmental

management views the issues from the broader prospective of long term sustainable development

option, which ensures that the environment is not desecrated. An Environmental Management Plan

is prepared for construction phase, post construction phase (commissioning and operation) and for

post project phase. The environmental management plan is prepared to minimize the impact of

atmospheric emissions, liquid effluents, solid wastes & noise generation on the surrounding

environment.

The baseline settings of different relevant environmental components in the study area are

analyzed and potential impacts on those components due to the proposed project are documented.

The impacts on environment are found to be minimal during the study; however additional

measures are documented for operation phase for further improvement of Environmental Quality in

the form of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)

It is of utmost concern for a company to conduct its business in a manner that will promote

the protection of the occupational Health & Safety; Welfare of its employees and others

involved in or affected by its business operations and address the environmental concerns

regarding sustainable development.

To be a responsive and responsible corporate citizen, we shall strive to achieve an

organizational culture of Safety, Health and Environmental excellence.

As an integral part of the company’s business performance, the company shall declare full

commitment to achieve high levels of performance in Health, Safety and Environment.

Continual improvements in Safety, Health and Environment shall be recognized as essential

for the future success of the company.

9.2 The Environmental Management Plan

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared to mitigate and manage various

environmental impacts identified. The EMP presents the project specific guidelines on:

Environmental management strategies

Spill prevention and control

EIA REPORT



Management of wastes and hazardous chemicals

Air, water and soil quality protection

Noise control

Soil erosion control and slope stabilization

Vegetation, wildlife and habitat protection

Socio-economic and welfare considerations

Risk and disaster management plan

To prepare a checklist for statutory compliance

Due to its complexity and implications, the implementation of the EMP must be executed utilizing a

specific EMS framework. Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the basis for

environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the appointed personnel.

With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation

measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for all the environmental components.

The environmental management plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potentially

detrimental impacts on the environment, during an operation phase of the project. It is also

necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations is ensured.

9.3 Objectives of Environmental Management Plan

While developing an EMP within the framework of an EMS, it is imperative to have clear

environmental objectives and delineate them. The key environmental management objectives for

this project are to avoid significant adverse environmental impacts and to ensure that where

impacts do occur they are mitigated. In addition, the project proponent aims to meet the following

specific objectives:

To adopt operational methods that will limit environmental degradation.

To protect physical environmental components such as air, water and soil.

To improve workplace conditions for employees by reducing every kind of pollution and

improving workplace environment/atmosphere.

To make budgetary provision and allocation of funds for environment management system

and to timely revision of budgetary provisions.

To implement & ensure effective implementation of research and development program for

the innovative technologies for better environment, resource conservation/

recovery/recycling/reuse.

To eliminate/reduce the possibilityof potential hazard due to operations.

To incorporate the views and perceptions of the local inhabitants in the project.

EIA REPORT



To generate employment opportunities wherever possible and feasible.

To provide advanced sophisticated safety system to ensure safety of the public at large.

To establish a long term program to monitor effects of the project on the environment.

9.4 EMP for Construction Phase

There will not be any Environmental management plan required because there is no construction

and/or machenary installation work involved in the proposed expansion.

9.4.1 Air Environment, Noise Environment, water environmrnt, soil/Land Environment,

management of Solid and Hazardous waste, management of Socio- economic

and cultural Environment.

There will not be any significant environmental impacts on the above aspects because there is

minimal construction and/or machenary installation work involved in the proposed expansion

project. The proposed project is an expansion of existing products as well as addition of new

products to the existing manufacturing unit of Synthetic Organic Chemicals& Intermediates. For

the expansion of production capacity, existing facilitieswill be utilized and some machinery such

as reactors, centrifuge, mill, etc. will be installed & some foundation work will also be carried out

as per requirement. Adequate mitigation measures will be taken wherever feasible.

9.5 EMP for Operational Phase

Routine operational activities of the project would be associated with the following potentially

significant environmental impacts. These activities associated with the impacts as listed hereunder:

Routine production activities:

Domestic and industrial waste water treatment

Management of Air, noise, land, water environment

Transport of material

Storage of raw material

Fire/Explosion

The operational phase activities due to proposed expansion project have the potential to cause

long-term environmental impacts. Cumulative impacts due to the air pollution are predicted using

simulation models as discussed in chapter 4.

Several control measures have been incorporated to minimize the generation of wastes and

subsequent environmental impacts during the operational phase. Strict adherence to these pollution

prevention and control measures will moderate the environmental impacts to the minimum possible

level during an operational phase. In general, the environmental management plan during

operational phase of the plant will be directed to the following:

EIA REPORT



It will be ensured that all the pollution control/environment management systems are

commissioned before the commencement of operation of the project.

Wherever possible, the control systems will be interlinked with the operational units, so that

failure of the control system will shut down the respective operational unit.

Regular performance evaluation of the control systems will be undertaken to ensure their

optimum performance.

Preventive maintenance schedule of the control systems will be matching with that of the

respective operational unit.

Regular monitoring for various components of environment will be undertaken to ensure

effective functioning of pollution control measures as well as to safe guard against any

unforeseen changes in environment.

Efforts will be made to ensure the maximum utilization of wastes generated.

During the operational phase, there will not be any significant impacts on various

environmental components. Hence, the following Management Plan is recommended to

mitigate adverse impacts during operation phase:

9.5.1 Management of Air Environment
