Limit

Remarks

1. PM10

(µg/m3)

69.52 to

70.36

100µg/m3 The level of emission is observed on the

higher side due to the movement of

dumpers & trucks on the site & on

approach road.

2. PM2.5

(µg/m3)

40.48 to

42.12

3. SO2

(µg/m3)

14.98

to 15.45

80µg/m3 The emissions are well below the

maximum permissible limit. SO2 Emission

is mainly due to DG Sets & Vehicular

low SO2 emissions.

4. CO

(µg/m3)

0.73 to

0.74

4.0µg/m3 The emission is well below permissible

limits. CO emissions are mostly because

of incomplete combustion of fuels. There

is no direct fuel usage on site. CO

emission is mainly because of Vehicular

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS &PREVENTIVE ACTIONS

FOR DEVIATIONS(CAPA)

In this project, Construction has started and is in its initial phases. Excavation and levelling

work is in progress for 2 towers. Mainly following pollutants were observed

1. PM10 & PM2.5: Ranging between 69.52 to 70.36 µg/m3 and 40.48 to 42.12

respectively, is approaching the CPCB permissible limit of 100 µg/m3 for PM10 and 60

µg/m3 of PM2.5and reasons of this are: a) Movement of trucks and dumpers on site for carrying equipment/ machinery

and construction raw material. b) Fossil fuel burning in Vehicles and in DG set used at site. c) Demolition of temporary site structures d) Muck/ Soil stored at site for landscaping

Impact of higher Particulate matter

This higher value can cause disease related to lungs like breathing problems,

silicosis, asthma, irritation in eyes, and suffocation to the workers working onsite.

Remediation Measures:

1. Dust suppression to be done by water sprinkling 2. Using spent concrete on haul road inside the project site to provide friction

and to bind some soil to reduce fugitive dust emission. 3. By installing sheets/ dust screen to contain dust inside and to prevent

outside dust to come inside. 2. Ozone: Ranging between 53.00 to 55.3 µg/m3is less than one third of CPCB permissible

limit of 180µg/m3 due to construction activities like Transportation through Vehicles,

Welding, metal cutting and due to sparking of electricity etc.

Impact of higher value of Ozone: Excess inhalation of ozone may lead to

following disorders:

1. Induction of respiratory symptoms

2. Decrements in lung function

3. Inflammation of airways Respiratory symptoms can include: 1. Coughing 2. Throat irritation 3. Pain, burning, or discomfort in the chest when taking a deep breath 4. Chest tightness, wheezing, or shortness of breath

Remediation Measures:

1. Vehicles are to be maintained regularly 2. Welding should be done in open areas or well ventilated spaces. Closed

rooms, shed areas and low roof areas should be avoided to carry out

welding operations

Chapter- 6

3. Using prefabricated or modular structures to minimize welding operation as

much as possible. 4. Use of facial masks and other safety equipment to prevent direct exposure

to workers

3. Organic & Inorganic Solids: It was found to be 1249.00 ppm &127.00 ppm

respectively against the permissible value of 3000 ppm & 200 ppm of CPCB

permissible limit. Sample was collected from water tank, being used for construction. This

water is not being used for drinking purpose.

Impact of higher value of Inorganic & Organic Solids: The higher value of

Organics & Inorganics in water used for construction may cause the following

problems.

1. Reduced performance of Concrete. 2. Fouling smell from water & near water storage tank. 3. Objectionable stains & unsightly deposits on surface may occur.

Remediation Measures:

1. Water Treatment Plant for Construction phase should be installed for pre-treatment of water purchased from Authority.

2. Use of Filter Beds & Plate Filters to clean water prior to use of supplied water in construction.

SUGGESTIONSFORIMPLEMENTATION

Based on the present working procedures on site & data analysed during January 2014 to

June 2014, the major deviations observed are discussed already in the previous chapters. A

consolidated suggestion scheme based on the same is as follows:

1) Increase frequency of Water Sprinkling for dust suppression within the Project site &

approach road. It can be increased to 3-4 times per day from existing 2 times per

day.

2) Regular sprinkling on stacked soil should be done to prevent fugitive dust emission.

3) Open space should be used for Welding, metal cutting and bending.

4) Frequent monitoring of DG Set Stacks for any kind of soot or other particulate matter

which may be an indication of incomplete burning of fuel.

5) All the machineries should be PUC certified

6) Scheduled preventive maintenance of all construction equipment, trucks/dumpers, DG

Sets, Welding Equipment and Water tankers.

7) Installation of Water Treatment Plant should be done and maintained by keeping

records for the entries.

8) As the workers increases at site they should be provided safety training on their joining

and regular safety drills are important.

9) Provision of testing /monitoring of constructed building parts to check for any defects

arising due to high contamination of organic / inorganic solids in water.

10) Scheduled Audits for various parameters to be conducted with respect to all the

conditions stated in Environment clearance Letter.
