5 Impact of the new development on the surrounding areas1. Traffic management atpeak hours

Construction Phase: Increased potential for traffic hazards on the primary roads andvillage roads of the area, due to the construction activities. The condition of roads maydeteriorate during the construction phase due to frequent movement of heavy vehiclesand equipment. Disruption of traffic is anticipated on connecting roads due to unplannedentry to the site, parking of trucks, breakdowns, etc.

Operation Phase: The potential impacts on traffic and transport for proposed projectinclude the following:

· Increase in Traffic volume due to proposed developments Random parking ofvehicles around the project site

2. Provision of service roads UER II (100 m ROW) and Site, ii) Dwarka Sector road (80 m) (Towards Sector 22&23) andSite and iii) Dwarka Sector road (60 m) (towards Sector 19)

Notification has been issued by Ministry of Urban Development dated 12th May, 2016describing the modification in the land use of land proposed for development of ECCfalling in Zone-II (Dwarka). According to the notification, the land use is Public, SemiPublic and socio-cultural facilities.

6 State briefly impacts predicted on the quality and quantity of natural resources from the proposed new development:- Air quality Construction Phase: During the construction phase, the major pollutant of concern will be

particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) from:· PM emissions from excavation activities;· NOx, SO2 and CO emissions due to operation of construction equipments,


DMICDC

AECOM

machinery and vehicular movement.· PM, NOx, SO2 and CO emissions from operation of Diesel generator set.· The dust emissions will vary substantially from day to day based on the level of

activity, the specific operations and the prevalent meteorological conditions.

Operation Phase: Existing baseline condition reveals that concentration of CO, NOx, SO2

are below the prescribed limits by NAAQS. However, concentrations of PM 10 and PM2.5exceeds the limits by NAAQS of 100µg/m3 and 60µg/m3 respectively. It is proposed thatpower will be mainly supplied from the State Electricity supply; however scenarios ofpower failures are expected during operation phase of the project. Diesel generator setshave been proposed to provide the power back up for the proposed facility. All the aboveactivities will generate emissions and may affect the local air quality.

- Vegetation The project construction activities will necessarily comprise of removal of vegetation.Clearing of vegetation on the site will involve removal of local floral species found on thesite.

Potential Loss of Green spaces: Concreting of the huge land area would reduce thenatural greenery of the area. However, the large landscaping planned and suggested inthe Master plan for the project, would compensate for this loss.

- Animal/Aquatic life Construction Phase:Species identified in the survey area will be temporarily affected and may be migrated tonearby areas. However, the degree of impact will be low as the disturbance is going toconfine to the construction period only.

Air, noise and visual disturbance generated during the site development can affect thebehaviour of fauna (especially bird, butterflies and other insects, reptiles and very smallmammalian species) of the adjacent habitats.

- Surface/ Ground Water Construction Phase:Waste water generated from the site during the construction contains suspendedmaterials, spillage and washings from the areas that may percolate in the ground.. Theconstruction activities will result in disturbance of topsoil rendering it vulnerable toerosion and runoff.

The potential impact on water quality can be due to the runoffs from the site which canlead to contamination of adjoining land and ground water. However, the project hasplanned for proper management of waste water to be generated during constructionphase. The Civil Contractor shall be responsible for construction of garland drains aroundthe construction site. The contractor will ensure that the surface water is trained anddrained off the site, in proper temporary drains developed during the construction phaseto prevent erosion and contamination.

Unplanned disposal of sewage from construction site: It is expected that duringconstruction phase there will be generation of sewage from portable toilets. About198KLD of sewage is expected to be generated due to working of 5500 labours at theconstruction camp site. Improper disposal of sewage can also lead to contamination ofnearby water sources. It has been planned that adequate number of portable toilets, soakpits shall be provided onsite for disposal of sewage as per the design aspects of Bureau ofIndian Standards. The workers shall be strictly instructed and informed to avoid randomdisposal of wastewater.

Operation Phase: The recycled water will be used for the non-potable waterrequirements of the region such as flushing and HVAC requirements. The use of treatedwastewater to meet the water requirements for the project shall reduce the stress on thewater resources in the region. The entire treated wastewater shall be reused and therewill be no discharge of untreated sewage on land or in any surface water body.With the project proposing to implement the rainwater harvesting for the ground waterrecharge, conservation through awareness programs to bring about greater waterefficiency, and reuse of treated wastewater on the proposed site during operation of theproject for use in horticulture and other auxiliary purpose, the impact on water resourceswould be minimized.

Introduction

The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) envisages strengthening the Indian economy bycreating internationally-recognized, architectural icon with an innovative design and green building concepts, whichenhances foreign investments and promotes sustainable development. Amongst various other planned developments suchas Investment Regions, Industrial Parks, Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), DMICDC has proposed to undertakedevelopment of a world class Exhibition and Convention Centre (hereafter referred to as ECC) at Sector-25 in Dwarka, NewDelhi.

The project’s vision is to offer a well-organized and quality setting for international as well as national meetings,conferences, exhibitions and trade shows. It is planned that the proposed ECC will have exhibition halls, convention centre,banquet halls, hotels, service apartments, Food and Beverages (F&B) outlets and retail services. The proposed ECC site isstrategically located at a distance of approximately 11 km (by road) from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport and 3kmfrom Bijwasan railway station.

Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which wasincorporated as the Project Development Agency under Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry ofCommerce & Industries, Government of India for project planning, development and implementation of variousinfrastructure projects in India through developing and disseminating appropriate financial instruments, negotiating loansand advances of all nature, and formulating schemes for mobilization of resources and extension of credit forinfrastructure.

The EIA Notification, 2006, requires the all new projects and expansion and modernization of existing projects, as listed inthe Schedule of the said Notification, are to obtain prior environmental clearance from the concerned regulatory authority,i.e. Central Government in the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEFCC) for matters falling under Category ‘A’ in theSchedule and at State level the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) for matters falling under Category‘B’ in the said Schedule, before any construction work is started on the project, or preparation of land by the projectmanagement except for securing the land.

DMICDC has developed a conceptual master plan for the proposed development and intends to ensure environmentalcompliance and embed elements of environmental good practice in the master planning stage itself. The envisaged projectis spread over an area ≥ 50 ha, it falls under Item 8 (b) of the Schedule “Area Development projects and Townshipsprojects” as per the EIA Notification, 2006. However, as per the subsequent amendment in the EIA Notification 2006, videGazette Notification S.O.3999 (E) dated 9th December 2016, the envisaged project has been categorized as Category Aunder Item 8 (b) , since it has built up area of more than 3,00,000 sq. mtrs. Therefore, an EIA report along with Form 1,Form 1A, Model Terms of Reference and Conceptual Plan has been prepared for the purpose of submission to MoEFCCEnvironmental Appraisal Committee (EAC) for seeking Environmental Clearance. Therefore, Form 1, Form 1A, Model Termsof Reference and Conceptual Plan was submitted to MOEFCC for the purpose of “Scoping” (F. No. 21-102/2017-IA-III;Proposal Number: IA/DL/NCP/62768/201 dated 24th Feb, 2017). After incorporation of the submitted TOR, prescribedTOR conditions, the EIA report has been prepared for the purpose of submission to MoEFCC’ s Environmental AppraisalCommittee (EAC) for seeking Environmental Clearance. The project has already obtained the following statutory/ otherapprovals/ compliances from concerned Authorities:

· Layout Plan Approval from South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) vide resolution no. 499 dated 23-02-17.· Obtained AAI Clearance for maximum height (Building Block Wise )· Obtained concept plan approval from Delhi Urban Arts Commission (DUAC)· The Land for the project is already in Possession of Department of Industrial & Promotion (DIPP);· As per the Land use as per Master Plan Delhi 2021, the land parcel is categorised as Public, Semi Public and socio-

cultural facilities, as per Notification issued by MoUD dated 12th May, 2016, hence the development shall be incompliance to the Master Plan Delhi 2021.

· No protected/ reserved forest falling within the site; no diversion of forest land required.

Site Selection

Three alternatives for site selection were considered for development of the proposed ECC project. The analysis was basedon a ranking system developed while taking into account topography and land use, water resources and their availability,socio-economic factors, environmental sensitivity and connectivity. A set of seven parameters were considered and eachparameter was assigned a score and weight based on its significance in selection of a site. The sites designated for PublicSemi Public (PS-1, socio-cultural facilities), in the Master Plan of Delhi 2021 and its amendments were considered preferredsite locations as there will not be any changes in the land use due to the project development. Proximity to ecologicallysensitive areas such as Reserved/ Protected Forest, sanctuaries/National Park, wetland, mangrove, migratory corridor andother notified areas were considered as important factor for site selection. Reserved/Protected forest within or inproximity were less preferred as they may get exposed to residual noise and air impacts. Source of water and sewage forthe project should be identified before commencing of the project. Site with dependable allocation for water werepreferred during scoring. Based on the site suitability analysis, Site 1 - Sector 25 Dwarka is the best option for developmentof ECC.

The rationale for selecting included- No change in land use pattern required; the site’s accessibility to regional destinationsby rail and air is excellent. The site has good connectivity with Indira Gandhi International Airport and Bijwasan railwaystation. Though, the option 2 is free from any encumbrances and lies in proximity to metro stations, bus stands and metroconnectivity, however the land use is designated as open and green space and the conversion of land use will bechallenging; and Limited issues of resettlement and rehabilitation as the land are already under the possession of DIPP.

Project Description

DMICDC has planned to develop an Exhibition-cum-convention Centre (ECC) at Sector- 25 of Dwarka, in Southwest Districtof Delhi, spreading over 89.72 Ha land. The proposed ECC will be an integrated complex with a host of activities likeexhibition halls, convention centre, banquet halls, arena, hotels and service apartments, food &beverage outlets and retailservices. The ECC will serve as the medium for sponsoring/ holding international and national meetings, conferences,exhibitions and trade shows. As per the Demand and Gap Assessment report of ECC project, once the facility is functional,it will draw a demand for integrated Grade office space and High value organized Mall-format retail space.

The ECC campus, being planned in close proximity to the international airport terminal will also capture hotel roomdemand from foreign tourists arriving in Delhi. The project shall be developed as a leading (Meetings, Incentives,Conferences, and Exhibitions destination, (MICE), combining business-cum-entertainment experience. The destinationcreation will include strategic placement and brand creation for the proposed facility to enhance the experience of MICEevents by creating a unique mix of enabling land uses which are not comparable to any existing exhibition venue.

Construction of exhibition centre will start along with construction of1300 rooms of five star hotels, 800 rooms of four starhotels, 1000 rooms of three star hotel and 500 service apartments. Simultaneously, there will be development of 2, 15,000sqm of office spaces and 1, 70,000 sq.m of retail spaces. Approx. 2,00,000 sq.m of exhibition space, 60,000 sqm ofconvention centre and 50,000 sq. m of Arena will also be constructed as a part of ECC.

The total built up area of the proposed project is 10.20,000 sqm. Proposed project will be constructed in two (2) phases:Phase I with construction of total built up area of 4,25,000 sqm which will be followed by construction of Phase whichcovers built up area of 5,95,000 sqm.

POPULATION & EMPLOYMENT ESTIMATION

The overarching economic goals for DMIC are to double employment, triple industrial output and quadruple exports in fiveyears. It is estimated, that the total employment generated by the project will be 53,074. The total visitor population forthe project has been estimated 3, 87,970.

WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

During Construction Phase, the water requirement for domestic purpose and workers at site will be approximately 45 LPCDwhich will be 247.5 KLD.

The water required for both drinking and construction activities during the construction phase will be sourced from DJBthrough water tankers. It is expected that during construction phase, approximately 198 KLD (for about 5500 labourers) of


DMICDC

AECOM

sewage will be generated. The sewage generated from the portable toilets will be vacuum-collected and emptied into themain sewerage system of the area. Soak pits will provide at the construction areas to absorb wash waters and otherdomestic waste water.

It has been estimated that the total water demand of the project is approx. 16 MLD water (6.0 MLD for Phase I and 10.0MLD for Phase II). This will be met by using fresh water 7.5 MLD (2.6 MLD for Phase I and 4.9 MLD for Phase II) and recycledtreated sewage water 8.5 MLD (3.4 MLD for Phase I and 5.1 MLD for Phase II). Fresh water will be used for domesticpurposes.

It is proposed that the proposed ECC project will be a zero discharge project and all the sewage generated will be treatedto various degrees to be used for flushing and as make-up water in cooling towers of air conditioning system and of DG setsand for horticulture for external areas.

It has been proposed that two STPs will be installed with capacities 4.3 MLD for Phase I and 6.5 MLD for Phase IIrespectively.

POWER

The power demand is calculated after considering the different types of needs for heating, lighting, and cooling facilities/requirements for different land uses and power assumptions. Many of the services in the Exhibition Centre, ConventionCentre, Arena (Theme Destination) will be unmanned and fully automated, requiring a significant amount of electricalpower.

As per preliminary calculations, total electrical load for entire complex is estimated as 100 MW (Phase I - 40 MW and PhaseII- 60 MW). The Complex shall receive power supply from Delhi Transco substation through dual feeder, EHT from thenearby EHV substation as per information received. Cauterized DG power backup shall be provided for the Exhibition Halls,Convention Centre, Arena, Administration and common utility complex only.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The types of waste likely to be generated from the project are municipal, commercial, institutional, biomedical – hazardousand non-hazardous in nature. The characterization of the waste for the proposed project has been done based on thedifferent sources of waste generation including residential, commercial, offices, hotels and open areas. Each source willhave different characteristics of waste. With the objectives of maximum recovery of useful material and optimisation ofwaste recycling, the waste expected to be generated in the project, is broadly classified into the following categories:

1. Biodegradable waste;2. Recyclables; and3. Inert & Others

As per the estimates, a total of 75-80 TPD of municipal waste is expected to be generated during peak season from ECCduring its operation phase.

PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE

The site is well connected to NH-8 which runs parallel to the site in east direction, at a distance of approx. 5.5km, throughUER-II. The site has excellent transit connections with the Delhi Metro Station from Sector 21 which is less than a kilometreaway. The Delhi–Rewari railway line is in the proximity of the project site with a railway station at Bijwasan, which isapproximately 3 km from the project site.

Proposed Road Network

· Urban Extension Road II (Arterial Roads) with ROW of 100 m

The proposed 100m ROW UER II will be connecting the National Highway No.8 (NH 8) and National Highway No. 1 (G.T.Karnal Road) crossing National Highway No. 10 (Rohtak Road) and passing from NH 8 (Gurgaon Road) via Dwarka Sub-city-Village Bhartal-Village Dhulsaras - Village Chhawla - Village Tajpur - Village Goyla Khurd-Deenpur-Roshanpura-Najafgarh-Masoodabad-Village, Nangli Sakrawati- Village Dichaon Kalan-Village Baderwara and village Mundka connecting NH 10Rohtak Road).

· Urban Extension Road I (Arterial Roads) with ROW of 100 m

A third concentric circle to ring road that runs parallel to the UER II (as mentioned above) is also proposed by DDA and alsounder the road development plan for NCR; which is referred to as Urban Extension road one (UER I).

Proposed Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT)

The Transport Department of the NCT of Delhi has proposed to develop an Interstate Bus Terminal (ISBT) is locatedtowards the north-east side of the site. It is envisaged that this terminal will help decongest traffic by restricting buses fromHaryana and Rajasthan to Delhi with handling capacity of 60,000 daily passengers.

Baseline Environment

An NABL and MOEFFCC accredited monitoring agency M/s NETEL India Private Limited was engaged for a period of 8weeks, (29th April 2017- 29th June, 2017) after receiving prescribed TOR from MoEFCC and also avoiding the onset ofmonsoon season. The fresh environmental monitoring supplemented the monitoring conducted for the project for aperiod of four (4) weeks from Oct 2016-Dec 2016. (The monitoring was carried out prior to the Notification SO 3999, andhence was considered as Category B project, to be appraised on the basis of Form1, Form 1A, Conceptual Plan and EIAreport). The baseline data generation included site visits, primary environmental monitoring, ecological surveys, socialsurveys and interviews, processing of satellite imagery and secondary data review from established sources such as IndianMeteorological Department, Census of India etc. The details given below:

Topography: The project area has a flat terrain and comprises of agricultural fields and dry degraded forest area andplantation trees. The average plain elevation of the district is about 215.5 – 221.5 meters above mean sea level. Theproject site has minimal variations in contour levels with the present topography depicting the drainage towards theexisting Najafgarh drain which is around 3 km from the site.

Physiography and Drainage: The study area lies in south west district of Delhi, which broadly forms the part of Delhi ridgewhich is the northernmost extension of Aravalli Mountain. It consists of quartzite rocks and extends from southern parts ofthe territory to western bank of Yamuna for about 35 kilometres. The alluvial formations overlying the quarzitic bedrockhave different nature on either side of the ridge. Ecologically, the Ridge acts a barrier between the Thar Desert and theplains and slows down the movement of dust and wind from the desert. The ridge may be said to enter Delhi from thesouth west. The eastern part of the ridge extends up to Okhla in the South and disappears below Yamuna alluvium in thenorth east on the right bank of the river.

As per the seismic zoning map of India (IS: 1893, Part-1, 2002), the project site is located in the Zone IV, classified as MSKVIII i.e., area having high damage risk zone. The design of all the proposed facilities in the project will take into account therequired seismic resistance.

Drainage has two aspects – flood protection and storm water discharge, which are interrelated. The storm water and floodprotection in Delhi are not local but have regional bearing including areas of Haryana and Rajasthan. From drainage pointof view Delhi can be divided into six drainage basins as namely - (i) Alipur Block North Delhi (ii) Kanjhawala Block WestDelhi, (iii) Najafgarh Block South West Delhi, (iv) Mehrauli Block South Delhi, (v) Trans Yanuma Area North East and EastDelhi- (vi) Sanctuary Area. The Study area lies in Najafgarh block which is mainly drained by Najafgarh drain. Also,topography of Delhi creates a drainage system that carries rain and storm water from the higher elevations of the West tothe Yamuna, providing a natural drainage.

The Vasant Kunj-Najafgarh storm water drain carries drainage from study area and draining it off into the Najafgarh Drain,3km west of the site.

Climate and Meteorology: The rainfall is fairly well distributed throughout the monsoon season starting from July whichends in September; with annual average rainfall over period of five years is 532mm.

During the summer months of April, May and June, temperatures rises to 40-45°C; winters are typically cold withtemperatures during December and January falling to 4 to 5°C. February, March, October and November are climaticallythe best months. The average of mean monthly maximum temperature as assessed from the Climatological data gatheredfrom IMD surface station at IGI Airport, Palam, Delhi is 30.4°C and average of mean monthly minimum temperature is14.1°C. The average of monthly relative humidity is 61.5%.

The predominant wind direction in May (during hot & dry condition) is North-West and in June & July (during monsoonseason) the predominant wind direction is from Southeast.

Ambient Air Quality: PM 10: The PM-10 concentration recorded at all the five sampling locations exceeds the limits ofprescribed CPCB limits of 100µg/m3. The minimum value recorded was 94µg/m3 at Project site (AQ-1). The maximum valuerecorded was 388.8µg/m3 at Kapashera (AQ-5). The 98 percentile values ranged from 260µg/m3 to 386.5µg/m3. Theaverage values varied from 185.1µg/m3 to 256.5µg/m3. High values of PM 10 recorded can be attributed to disruption indispersion process due to low winds and high temperatures. Site specific meteorology carried out during April-June, 2017indicates presence of around 40% of calm period at a low wind speed of 0.69m/sec. When winds are light, there is lessturbulence and mixing, so the concentration of pollutants is higher.

PM-2.5: The PM-2.5 concentrations as observed in the study area varied from a minimum of 45.1µg/m3 recorded atBamnoli (AQ-2) to maximum of 309.5µg/m3 at Kapashera (AQ-5). The 98 percentile values ranged from 150.2µg/m3 to289.6µg/m3. The average values of PM-2.5 ranged from 110.6µg/m3 to 156.1µg/m3. All the values were observed to exceedthe prescribed CPCB standards of 60µg/m3.

Dust Fall: Dust fall is the rate at which dust is deposited from the air on a horizontal surface. It is calculated by dividing theweight of material (soluble / insoluble) collected in the container (in milligrams) by the cross-sectional area of thecontainer (square metres) and the number of days over which the sample was taken. Dust fall collected at the monitoredlocations falls in range of 1220 to 1540 mg/m²/day. Minimum dust fall was recorded at Rangpuri (AQ-3) while maximumdust fall is recorded at project site (AQ-1).

Sulphur dioxide: The concentrations of sulphur dioxide in the study area were observed to be in the range of 9.8µg/m3 to19.6µg/m3. The minimum value was recorded at Kapashera (AQ-5) and the maximum value of SO2 was also recorded atKapashera (AQ-5). The average values ranged from 13.9µg/m3 to 15.5µg/m3and 98 percentile values varied from16.4µg/m3 to 19.6µg/m3. All the values were observed to be within the prescribed limit by CPCB.

NOx: The maximum NOx concentration observed was 48.7µg/m3 at project site (AQ-1). The minimum value recorded was16.7µg/m3 at Rangpuri location (AQ-3). The 98 percentile values measured were in the range of 35.2µg/m3 and 47.7µg/m3.The average values ranged from 28.4µg/m3 to 34.3µg/m3. The NOx concentrations at all the locations were well within theprescribe norms of 80 µg/m3 as per NAAQS guidelines.

Carbon monoxide: The concentrations of carbon monoxide in the region were observed to be in the range of 499µg/m3 to1462µg/m3. The minimum value was recorded at Project Site (AQ-1) and the maximum value of SO2 was also recorded atProject Site (AQ-1). The average values ranged from 729.3µg/m3 to 1047.6µg/m3and 98 percentile values varied from962.2µg/m3 to 1330.9µg/m3. The CO concentrations were within the prescribe norms of 2000µg/m3 as per NAAQSguidelines.

Methane: The values of Methane range between minimum of 0.9 ppm and maximum of 2.1 at Kapashera (AQ-5). Theaverage concentrations range between 1.4 - 1.7 ppm and 98 percentile values ranges between 1.9-2.1 ppm. The MinimumDetection Limit (MDL) for Methane is 0.5ppm.

Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC): NHMC Concentrations at the locations are Below Detection Limits at all thelocations. The Minimum Detection Limit (MDL) for NMHC is 0.5ppm.

Water Resources and Quality: Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is the Water Utility department responsible for all water treatment anddistribution (including sewage collection and treatment) in Dwarka. DJB has six underground reservoirs (UGRs) for the K-IIzone as per the MPD-2021, and each of these is designed to cater to a 0.15-0.20 million population, with a reservequantum to meet the demand for commercial area development. These UGR capacities vis-à-vis the demand allocation tothe same for the usage of non-residential areas shall therefore be studied to assess the availability of potable water tomeet the demand for the proposed development.

According to Central Ground Water Board, the net annual ground water availability of nine districts of NCT Delhi sub-regionis 0.28 BCM. The total annual estimated ground water extraction is of the order of 0.48 BCM. The annual ground waterextraction & use is highest in the South-West district.

As per secondary sources, the ground water in the areas around the Delhi Ridge falling in Central, New Delhi, South andSouthwest districts is fresh water at all depths. The thickness of fresh water zones is limited in most parts of west andsouthwest. The fluoride contamination in groundwater has been noticed in samples of groundwater collected from SouthWest district and West districts. The high fluoride levels are mostly found in areas where groundwater is brackish to salinein nature.

According to the 2011 Census, the total population of the South Western District of Delhi was 2292958 (7.32%) whereinmales comprised of 1246046 (54.34%) and females of 1046912 (45.66%) respectively. The sex ratio of females to every1000 males was 866. The total household in the area was 494439 and the density of the population was 11,297 per sq. km.

The total population of Dwarka Sub City is 11, 00,000. The density of population in the area is around 160-200 per personper hectare.

According to the 2011 Census, the total Scheduled Caste (SC) population of South Western District of Delhi was 13.89%,out of which males comprised 53.46% and females 46.54%.

There are four villages namely, Bhartal, Bamnoli, Dhul Siras and Pochanpur villages within the 1 km radius of the projectsite. Informal interactions were undertaken with community members belonging to the four villages Bhartal, Bamnoli, DhulSiras and Pochanpur to understand the socio-economic status of the village. It was informed during interactions held thatall the four village’s lack basic amenities like drinking water, electricity, road etc.

The local communities know that the land is acquired by DDA about a decade ago, which has been lying vacant since then.On learning about the proposed project, the local communities showed interest in it and considered it as a goodopportunity for the development of their villages as well as for the local communities residing in the vicinity of the projectsite. In their opinion, once the project is completed it will be beneficial for the local communities as well, as they were ofthe view that their access to drinking water, transportation, electricity, road connectivity and street light etc. will improve.In addition, they informed that the project would create employment opportunities which will in turn, increase the rate ofemployment among the local communities as unskilled and semi- skilled jobs will increase in the area.

Construction Phase: Impacts Assessment and Mitigation Measures

Air Quality: During the construction phase, the major pollutant of concern will be particulate matter (PM10 andPM2.5).The dust emissions will vary substantially from day to day based on the level of activity, the specific operations andthe prevalent meteorological conditions. The construction activities will involve: PM emissions from excavation activities;NOx, SO2 and CO emissions due to operation of construction equipment’s, machinery and vehicular movement, PM, NOx,SO2 and CO emissions from operation of Diesel generator set. Dust Control Measures including wet suppression todisturbed surface areas on a daily basis especially during dry and windy days, downwash of trucks (especially tyres) to bedone prior to departure from site to reduce the mud and dirt carryout. The overall impact is assessed to be moderate,however with the implementation of mitigation measures the impact can be contained with minor residual impacts.

Noise Quality: During the construction phase of the site, the sources of noise pollution are expected mainly fromconstruction equipment and machinery engaged for construction activities (such as excavation, grading, erectingequipment, piling, etc.) such as air compressors, backhoe, concrete mixer, concrete mixer, cranes, dump-truck, pile driver,radial arm saw, DG set etc. The operation of heavy equipment is likely to temporarily increase the ambient noise levels ofthe area. An increase of 1 to 3 dB (A) noise levels of is expected in the adjoining area during day time during peakconstruction activities. The potential impacts include noise disturbance to the local population, workers working close tohigh noise area can be exposed to occupational hazards of noise depending on the duration of exposure.

The suggested mitigation measures include provision of rubber padding in the construction machinery for vibrationcontrol, regular maintenance of its vehicles and repair of its equipment/ machinery, provision of plugs/ ear muffs to theconstruction workers working near high noise generation.

Water Quality: The potential impact on water resources and quality from the construction phase of the project arisesfrom: Water usage, Sediment run off from construction area and unplanned disposal of sewage from construction camps.It is expected that during construction phase there will be generation of sewage from portable toilets. About 198 KLD ofsewage is expected to be generated due to working of 550 labours at the construction camp site. Improper disposal ofsewage can also lead to contamination of nearby water sources.

Mitigation measures include prevention of runoff from stockpiles generated during excavation, garland drains to beconstructed, segregation and pre-treatment of oil and grease containing effluents from machinery (e.g. use of a greasetrap)shall be undertaken prior to discharge into sewer systems, silt fencing to be provided to protect the water quality inthe nearby water bodies from sediments.

Soil Resources: The potential impacts on soil due to construction activities are from installation of heavy constructionmachinery causing soil compaction, soil contamination, soil erosion, waste management.


DMICDC

AECOM

Mitigation Measures include removal of topsoil (upper 30 cm) shall be removed prior to commencement of bulk earthworkand reused later for landscaping purpose .This is done to ensure that the good quality top soil is not lost. Minimumclearance of vegetation shall be carried out and the vegetative cover shall be redeveloped wherever possible. Theexcavated soil material shall be stacked in earmarked areas only. Excavated soil shall be used for filling low lying areasat the site.

Ecology: Generally the main ecological impacts during the construction phase of any project result from removal of thepresent vegetation cover, alteration of the existing topography, and other environmental facets like air, water and soilquality, ambient noise and vibrations etc.

The natural vegetation of the project area, as described in the ecological baseline report, directly acts as a habitat forvarious animals, mainly small terrestrial mammals, birds and reptiles. It indirectly creates microhabitats for many smalleranimals such as earthworms, snails, beetles and butterflies by creating shade, retaining soil-moisture and stabilizing soilaround the rooting-zone. Removal of the vegetation will thus may result in loss of such faunal habitats. This impact can bemitigated by selectively removing only the most obstructive trees and shrubs, post-construction restoration of ground-cover wherever feasible, and compensatory in-situ plantation of native species.

Alteration of the existing topography may alter the existing drainage pattern of the land-surface. Existing water-flows mayget disrupted resulting in water-logging in present-day dry areas or drying up of present-day waterbodies, either seasonalor perennial. Thus, the various land levelling or grading activities are likely to change the existing water regime of the area,leading to loss or degradation of existing habitats. This impact will be mitigated by the landscape approach used for themasterplan plan which will ensure preservation of the key water-channels. Reduced percolation of water, increasedsurface run-off and increased soil-erosion, resulting from compaction of soil-layers and paving, concretization or buildingover of soil-surfaces, alters the existing soil-moisture and water-recharge, as well as, the natural turbidity and siltation ofwater-bodies. All these changes can lead to degradation of the ephemeral seasonal monsoon habitats typical to this region.This impact can be mitigated by confining vehicular movement to pre-designated routes, opting for seamed paving insteadof seamless covering of soil-surfaces, wherever possible, and leaving as much soil-surface as possible in the form of plantedopen-spaces.

Ambient Air Quality: The major impacts on ambient air could be due to vehicular emissions from increase in traffic volumeand emission from power backup/ DG sets. It is proposed that power will be mainly supplied from the State Electricitysupply; however scenarios of power failures are expected during operation phase of the project. Diesel generator sets havebeen proposed to provide the power back up for the proposed facility.

Detailed air dispersion modelling was conducted to assess the potential impacts associated with above mentionedpollutants (four pollutants namely, NOx, SO2, CO and PM10). The air dispersion modelling study estimates Ground LevelConcentrations (GLC) of pollutants produced by DG units, under normal operative conditions. High levels of GLC - NOxabove 5.00mg/m3, to a large extent, are limited to area covering immediate vicinity of the project boundary on the easternside. Isopleth area in the immediate vicinity of the project. High levels of GLC - SOx above 30.00mg/m3, to a large extent,are limited to area covering immediate vicinity of the project boundary on the eastern side. High levels of GLC – CO above70.00mg/m3, is limited to area within the project boundary on the north-eastern side. High levels of GLC – PM10 above0.90mg/m3, to a large extent, are limited to area covering immediate vicinity of the project boundary on the eastern side.

Water Resource and Quality: The project will use water from the allocated underground reservoirs of Delhi Jal Board tomeet the requirement for commercial development as per Delhi Master Plan 2021.No ground water usage will be made forany of the activities. The recycled water will be used for the non-potable water requirements of the region such as flushingand HVAC requirements. The use of treated wastewater to meet the water requirements for the project shall reduce thestress on the water resources in the region. The entire treated wastewater shall be reused and there will be no dischargeof untreated sewage on land or in any surface water body. With the project proposing to implement the rainwaterharvesting for the ground water recharge, conservation through awareness programs to bring about greater waterefficiency, and reuse of treated wastewater on the proposed site during operation of the project for use in horticulture andother auxiliary purpose, the impact on water resources would be minimized.

Ecology: The main ecological impacts during the operational phase are likely to be in the form of the reduction of theerstwhile habitat area available to the local flora and fauna occurring within and around the upcoming ECC facility. This

impact can be best mitigated by developing and maintaining green buffers around the facility and planting of trees indesignated recreation zones in the area. The effectiveness of such plantations could be further enhanced by opting to usenative species of trees, shrubs, climbers and herbs, as far as possible.

Noise Quality: The proposed development will involve activities that will generate noise, such as vehicular traffic due todevelopment of the Facility, which will increase the noise level at intersections and highways, noise generated due to theregular loading and unloading of goods, noise generated from the landing and take-off of aircraft at the nearby Airport canbe a cause for physical and mental fatigues to the people residing / using the ECC facilities.

Traffic and Transportation: The proposed road circulation shall provide for safe, convenient, and efficient movement ofpeople and goods integrated into a motorized and non-motorized transport system. The project SPV shall ensure and verifythat all roads are constructed as per the master plan design.

Solid Waste Generation: The project will generate approximately 75-80 tonnes of solid waste per day during peak season.The potential impacts associated with disposal of solid waste include-inadequate collection and treatment of solid wastewhich can lead to unhygienic conditions leading to spread of diseases and other vectors, odour nuisance, clog drains due tosilt deposits.

Socio Economic: There will be positive impact from increased employment and business opportunities. Improvement ininfrastructure, increased income levels is also envisaged. There is potential for unplanned secondary development in theadjoining areas leading to unhygienic surroundings.

Disaster Management Plan

A disaster is an event trigger by natural or man-made causes that lead to sudden distribution of normalcy of life, causingwidespread damage to life and property. Distribution can be caused due to occurrence of frequent hazards likeearthquakes, fires, cyclones, terrorism, and chemical explosions. Level of risk majorly depends upon the various hazards forwhich any specific area is prone to also on the various physical, social-economic and institutional parameters. Possibleemergency situations and details on preparedness for the emergency have been highlighted in Chapter-7 of EIA report. ECCwill have HSD storage area of 80.0 X 13.5 m for storage of 1.5 day demand. Roles and Responsibilities of the staffresponsible to handle any such emergencies have also been presented and described in detail in EIA report. Specificemergency response procedures for Fire, Earthquake and bomb threat have been described. Based on the risk assessmentof various hazards, disaster management plan has been formulated.

Environment Management Plan

The Environment Management Plan with the mitigation measures and management strategies for construction andoperation phases of the proposed project has been prepared which shall be implemented by project SPV through itsdesignated officers. The EMP includes the mitigations suggested for adverse environmental and social impacts andassociated risks and also the personnel responsible for implementing the mitigation measures at various stages of theproject.

Various Management Plans have been formulated as part of EMP:

· Management and Disposal Plan for Used Cooking Oil from Restaurant· Management Plan for Excavated Soil· Pollution control measures to be taken to control fugitive emissions during construction phase including

marble/stone cutting· Solid Waste Management Plan· Management Plan for Excavation and Dewatering to Ensure Compliance to the CGWA Guidelines and Regulation· Water Management Plan

Environmental Monitoring

To ensure the effective implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), it is essential that an effectivemonitoring program should be designed and carried out. It provides basis for evaluating the efficiency of mitigationmeasures and suggest further actions that need to be taken to achieve the desired effect. Chapter-6 of the EIA Report

provides details on the environmental parameters suggested to be periodically monitored along with their monitoringfrequency. The Chapter also suggests the types of records to be maintained.

Conclusion:

The EIA study has assessed the overall significance of environmental and social impacts likely to arise from the proposeddevelopment.

It can be concluded from the impact matrix that the proposed project would have an overall positive impact. Theassociated potential adverse environmental impacts are mostly minimal and can be mitigated to an acceptable level byadequate implementation of the measures as stated in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). After incorporation ofenvironmental management plans, the environmental sustainability will be improved.

Hence, the proposed project is a welcome development and may be accorded environmental clearance.
