PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The guiding principles for the spatial development of the IT Park Project are:
An ideal hub offering world class technologies within its extent
A destination, that is the most sought after, not only for business but also for its high
standard of livability
An oasis, where nature and technology coexist in harmony and the synergy paving
way for a better future
2.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPOSED PROJECT AT REGIONAL LEVEL
National Capital Region (NCR) has emerged next only to Bangalore as the commercial
hub of the nation. NCR alone accounts for over 35% of the total FDI inflows into India
(Source: CII).
NCR share is estimated to be around 20 Million sqft (of new built up area), given the
projection estimate of 2 million jobs moving to India (10% within the NCR) in the
next five years.
A large number of Fortune 100 companies are now exploring commercial facilities
from India. Within the commercial market, opportunity areas that emerged during
2002 were engineering design, biotech research, research outsourcing, customer
analytics, market research, equity research.
Areas around Delhi are the fore-runners in this success story. Faridabad has come a
long way, from being a satellite township of Delhi to being the hub for commercial,
Design companies, and MNCs dealing in software and IT services. Faridabad is fast
emerging as a commercial hub, with several large companies operating on a large
scale.
2.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT AT LOCAL LEVEL
Achieving land potential in a rational and judicious manner is one of the prime
objectives of this development. This will be done by minimizing the impact on
environmental resources, enhancing the infrastructure quality to allow uninhibited

freedom for human resource development and provide gainful economic opportunities
for employment. Urban environment on sustainable lines will be developed by
harnessing the existing environmental resources, adopting state of the art technologies
to minimize waste generation (through recycling) and dependency on motorized modes
of transportation.
This part of the district of Faridabad is slowly experiencing new and an upgraded
emerging trend in terms of improvement in infrastructure, new roads development, etc.
As the area will achieve good connectivity through sector level roads development by
HUDA and through the existing southern peripheral road and NH-2 road and
railways/metros, hence these factors are likely to attract the commercial sectors to come
up and set their office. The proposed project will lead to following benefits:
Improvement in social infrastructure by providing additional employment
opportunities to the skilled as well as unskilled people;
Trigger growth in the district and in the region as the area will be developed
and will result in associated development;
The planned development with modern infrastructure facilities and source of
income would improve quality of life of local community.

Sullage Generation & Treatment
It is expected that the project will generate approx. 139 KLD of wastewater. The wastewater
will be treated in onsite STP of 170 KL capacity. The treated effluent will be reused for
flushing & horticulture. Surplus treated effluent will be discharged to external sewer.
10% of the waste water that is to be treated is removed from the STP in form of sludge as
well as vapors.
Out of this 10%, approx. 98% of the untreated waste water is removed as wet sludge,
which is then dewatered by passing through a filter press and extracted water is added back to
the collection chamber of the STP. Somewhat around 40% of the moisture of the sludge is
retained, and the sludge thus generated is further processed by drying the same on a non-
permeable bed, which upon drying can be used as manure in the green area provided within
the project site. The wet sludge is generally removed during the processes of primary
treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment or scrubbed off of the collection tank.
Remaining 2% of waste water is evaporated from the system during treatment process and
thus cannot be converted into sewage.

c. Treatment Technology
The technology is based on attached growth aerobic treatment followed by clarification by a
tube settler. Lime will be dosed in for suppression of foaming tendencies. The clarified water
will be filtered in a pressure sand filter after dosing of coagulant (alum) for removal of
unsettled suspended impurities. This water will be passed through an activated carbon filter
for removal of organics. The filtered water from ACF is then UV treated& stored in the
flushing tank.
The attached growth fluidized aerobic bed reactor (FAB) process combines the biological
processes of attached & suspended growth. It combines submerged fixed film with extended
aeration for treatment of the waste water.
The waste water after screening is collected in an equalization tank. The equalization tank is
required for preventing surges in flow & facilitating equalization of characteristics over the
entire quantity of effluent in a given time. A provision for pre-aeration is made in the
equalization tank in order to ensure mixing & to prevent the sewage from going septic.
The equalized sewage is then pumped into the FAB reactor for biological processing. The
water enters the bottom of the reactor & flows up through the fixed film media which grossly
enhances the hydraulic retention time & provides a large surface area for growth of biological
micro – organisms. The FAB reactor is aerated by fine pore sub – surface diffusers which
provide the oxygen for organic removal. The synthetic media floats on the water & the air
agitation ensures good water to micro-organism contact.
The FAB treatment is an attached growth type biological treatment process where in, the
majority of biological activity takes place on the surface of the PVC media. Continuous
aeration ensures aerobic activity on the surface of the media. Micro – organisms attach
themselves on the media & grow into dense films of a viscous jelly like nature. Waste water

passes over this film with dissolved organics passing into the bio-film due to concentration
gradients within the film. Suspended particles & colloid may get retained on this sticky
surface where they are decomposed into soluble products. Oxygen from the aeration process
in the waste water provides oxygen for the aerobic reactions at the bio-film surface. Waste
products from the metabolic processes diffuse outward & get carried away by the waste water
or air currents through the voids of the media.
The aerated effluent passes into a tube deck settler for clarification. The theory of gravity
tube settler system is that the carrier fluid maintains laminar flow in the settling media at
specified maximum viscosity. These two parameters of a carrier fluid, flowing through a
hydraulic configuration, will determine the velocity gradients of the flow, the height of
boundary layer at the inclined surface and the residence time within the media.
The carrier fluid must be viscous Newtonian, exhibiting a Reynolds number of less than 1000
and preferably, a number under 400. The laminar flow, through the inclined tubes, will
produce velocity gradients sufficiently large to form an adequate boundary layer, where the
velocity of fluid approaches zero. Boundary layers are necessary in functioning tube settlers,
to allow suspended solids to separate from the viscous carrier fluid. Under gravitational
forces, they will settle to the hydraulic surface of the tube and subsequently from the clarifier
media.
Since the tubes are inclined at 60 degrees, solids settled on the tubes are continually
discharged down. This downward rolling action increases particle contact and hence further
agglomeration, which increases the sludge settle ability. Studies show that these
agglomerated sludge particles can have a settling rate in excess of ten times the settling rate
of the individual floc particles in the influent. These heavy agglomerated masses quickly slide
down the 60 degree inclined tube and settle at the bottom of the tank.
At the bottom of the Tubedeck, where the sludge leaves the Tube surface, the larger
agglomeratedcaptures smaller particles in the upcoming stream. This solid contact
phenomenon greatly enhances the capture efficiency.
Stages of Treatment: The treatment process consists of the following stages:
Equalization
Bio- Degradation
Clarification & Settling
Filtration

Sewer System
The alignment and slope of the sewer line will follow the road network, drains or natural
ground surface and will be connected to the trunk sewers. The discharge point will be a
treatment plant, a pumping station, a water course or an intercepting sewer. Pumping stations
would be provided at places where the natural slope of the terrain is insufficient to permit
gravity flow or the cost of excavation is uneconomical to do the same.
2.13.3 Rainwater Harvesting System
The storm water collection system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any
collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends upon
many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary
area and the time required for such flow to reach the drains. The drains shall be located near

the carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the
rainfall run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various plots/shall
be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins. Therefore, it has been
calculated to provide 8 rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations, which will catch the
maximum run-off from the area.
1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm
water pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought
down through rain water pipes.
2) Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and seepage pits at
regular intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging.
3) The peak hourly rainfall of 45 mm/hr shall be considered for designing the storm
water drainage system.
4) For basement parking, the rainwater from ramps will be collected in the basement
storm water storage tank. This water will be pumped out to the nearest external storm
water drain.
Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the guideline of CGWA. Peak
hourly rainfall has been considered as 45 mm/hr. The recharge pit of effective diameter and
depth, of a Recharge pit is 3 m and 4 m respectively is constructed for recharging the water.
The ground water level in the area is 40-52 meters bgl. The bottom of the recharge structure
will be kept 5 m above the water table. At the bottom of the recharge well, a filter media is
provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain water
harvesting plan are as follows:
Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning.
The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be damaged
allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been avoided since most
paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.
All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device would be
installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic
bags and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to prevent

contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall is
flushed off.
No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system.
No wastewater from areas likely to have oil, grease, or other pollutants has been
connected to the system.
Calculations for storm water load
Roof-top area = Ground Coverage = 13,323.818 m2
Green Area = 10,003.812 m2
Paved Area = Total Plot Area – (Roof-top Area + Green Area)
= 33,346.044 – (13,323.818 + 10,003.812)
= 10,018.414 m2
Runoff Load
Roof-top Area = 13,323.818 × 0.045 × 0.9
= 539.61 m3/hr
Green Area = 10,003.812× 0.045 × 0.2
= 90.03 m3/hr
Paved Area = 10,018.414 × 0.045 × 0.7
= 315.58 m3/hr
Total Runoff Load = 539.61 + 90.03 + 315.58 m3/hr
= 945.22 m3/hr
Taking 20 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 945.22/3
= 315.07 m3
Taking the effective dia and depth of a Recharge pit 3 m and 4 m respectively,
Volume of a single Recharge pit = π d2h/3 = 3.14 × 3 × 3 × 4 / 3 = 37.68 m
3
Hence No. of pits required = 315.07/37.68 = 8.36 Pits Say 8 Pits.
As 1 pit/acre is required so, total 8 rain water harvesting pits will be required for 8.24
acre land.
Total of 8 Rain Water Harvesting pits are provided for artificial rain water recharge
within the project premises.

CHAPTER-3
DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the existing environmental settings in the study area. In order to identify
any potential impact on and to the natural and socioeconomic environment, it is essential to have
a thorough understanding of the nature of the existing environment prior to commencement of
the proposed activities. This acts as a need to characterize the existing baseline environmental
and socio-economic conditions through primary monitoring, undertaking focused surveys and
the collection of secondary information from various published sources. The major purposes of
describing the environmental settings of the study area are:
· To assess the existing environmental quality, as well as the environmental impacts of the
future developments being studied;
· To identify environmentally significant factors or geographical areas that could preclude
any future development.
Additional purposes of the baseline studies are to provide sufficient information so that decision
makers alien with the general location can develop an understanding of the project.
The project needs Environmental characteristics of the study area.
The following section describes the environmental setting of the site, period, components and
methodology for the baseline studies in detail.
3.1.1 METHODOLOGY OF CONDUCTING BASELINE STUDY
The guiding factors of the present environmental baseline study are the requirements laid down
by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and guidelines as per the Environmental Impact
Assessment Notification.
Baseline environmental data generation for air, noise and soil quality monitoring at and around
the project site of January 2018 has been prepared for the project.
The baseline environmental monitoring has been carried out during pre-monsoon season of
January 2018 for a period of one month and the data have been used for EIA study.
![Page 45: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

The environmental baseline monitoring has been carried out through MoEF&CC/NABL
accredited laboratory GRC Analytical Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. For the purpose of the EIA study, the
general impact zone for the proposed implementation shall confine within a radius of 10 km and
specific impact within the project area from the center of the project site.
The studies were conducted by considering the following:
The various environmental attributes were divided into primary and secondary studies.
Primary attributes such as micro-meteorology, air environment, water, soil, noise, traffic,
flora and fauna and socio-economic aspects were assessed and on-site monitoring and review
of the past studies conducted; and
Secondary attributes such as land use studies, geology, physiological characteristics have
been assessed by literature review of studies conducted in the past and by various
government publications.
The baseline studies started with reconnaissance survey and site visits in the study area for
fixing the monitoring locations for collecting the primary data. Various Government, Semi-
Government departments were approached for getting information for the secondary data
generation.
3.1.2 CRITERIA FOR BASELINE ENVIRONMENT STUDY
For the purposed of EIA study, the study area has been classified into general study area and core
study area. The general study area extend upto 10 km radius from the site and has been studied
for any likely general impacts. The core area for the proposed implementation shall confined
within a radius of 500 m from the boundary of the project site, since the nature of the project is
such that most of the potential impacts are likely to occur within this area.
Environmental baseline monitoring has been conducted during pre-monsoon season of January
2018 for a total period of one month (January 2018 ). The location of the baseline monitoring has
been selected with respect to proposed land-use and environmental susceptibility of the critical
areas.

3.4.2 Air Environment
The prime objective of the baseline study with respect to ambient air quality is to establish the
present air quality and its conformity to National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This data has been
further used during impact assessment to predict the final air quality. This section describes the
sampling locations, frequency of sampling and methodology adopted for monitoring ambient air
quality.
To quantify the impact of the project on the ambient air quality, it is necessary at first to evaluate the
existing ambient air quality of the area. The existing ambient air quality, in terms of Particulate
Matter – 10 (PM10), Particulate Matter- 2.5 (PM2.5), Sulphur-dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen
(NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO), has been measured through a planned field monitoring.

3.4.2.1 Monitoring Schedule
Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out twice a week with a frequency of 24 hours for
4 weeks.
3.4.2.2 Methods of Sampling and Analysis
Fine particulate Sampler APM MFC550 was used for monitoring Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and
PM10); gaseous pollutants like SO2, and NO2 was collected by Gaseous Pollutant Sampler
APM 433 and CO was monitored by Serinous 30 CO Analyser with NDIR detector.
3.4.2.3 Method for measurement of Particulate matter, SO2 & NO2
Method for measurement of Particulate Matter (PM10) in ambient air is done by Cyclonic Flow
Technique. Particles with aerodynamic diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are collected
by a filter. Ambient air at the monitoring location is sucked through a cyclone. Coarse and non-
reparable dust is separated from the air stream by centrifugal forces acting on the solid particles
and these particles fall through the cyclone's conical hopper and get collected in the sampling cap
placed at the bottom. The fine dust (<10 microns) forming the particulate matter (PM10) passes
the cyclone and is retained on the filter paper The mass of these particles is determined by the
difference in filter weights prior to and after sampling. The concentration of PM10 in the

designated size range is calculated by dividing the weight gain of the filter by the volume of air
sampled. A tapping is provided on the suction side of the blower to provide suction for sampling
air through a set of impingers for containing absorbing solutions for SO2 and NO2. Samples of
gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.2 liters per minute. The APM MFC 550 is used for PM2.5.
This system is a manual method for sampling fine particles (PM2.5 fraction) and is based on
Impactor designs standardized by USEPA for ambient air quality monitoring.
PM2.5 & PM10 have been estimated by gravimetric method (IS- 5182 part XXIII 2006). Improved
West and Gake method (IS-5182 part-II, 2001 & reaffirmed 2006) has been adopted for
estimation of SO2 and Modified Jacobs-Hochheiser method (IS-5182 part-X, 2006) has been
adopted for the estimation of NO2.
3.4.2.4 Method for measurement of Carbon Monoxide – NDIR method
Instrument used: Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide
This analyser is used to measure CO in ambient air, in the range of 0-200 ppm (220mg/m3) to a
sensitivity of 0.05 ppm 55µg/m3). The Serinus 30 combines the benefits of Microprocess control
with Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectro-photometery technology (IS-182 part X 1999, reaffirmed
2003). CO Concentration is automatically corrected for gas temperature and pressure changes.
3.4.2.5 Results and Discussion
The results of AAQ are given in details and summarized in the tabular form. The results when
compared with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of Central Pollution
Control Board (CPCB) for "Industrial, Residential, Rural and Other Areas" show that the

3.4.3 Noise Level
Noise is one of the most undesirable and unwanted by-products of our modern life style. It may not
seem as insidious or harmful as air and water pollutants but it affects human health and well-being
and can contribute to deterioration of human well-being in general and can cause neurological
disturbances and physiological damage to the hearing mechanism in particular. It is therefore,
necessary to measure both the quality as well as the quantity of noise in and around the site.
3.4.3.1 Methodology
The intensity of sound energy in the environment is measured in a logarithmic scale and is
expressed in a decibel, dB (A) scale. In a sophisticated type of sound level meter, an additional
circuit (filters) is provided, which modifies the received signal in such a way that it replicates the
sound signal as received by the human ear and the magnitude of sound level in this scale is

denoted as dB (A). The sound levels are expressed in dB (A) scale for the purpose of comparison
of noise levels, which is universally accepted by the international community.
Noise levels were measured using an Integrating sound level meter manufactured by Pulsar
Instruments Plc, Model NO. 91 (SL.No.B21625). It has an indicating mode of Lp and Leq.
Keeping the mode in Lp for few minutes and setting the corresponding range and the weighting
network in “A” weighting set the sound level meter was run for one hour time and Leq was
measured at all locations.
The day noise levels have been monitored during 6.00 am to 10.00 pm and night noise levels,
during 10.00 pm to 6.00 am at all the 5 locations, which covers residential areas, commercial,
industrial areas, Silence area if available within 10 km radius of the study area.
3.4.3.2 Sampling Locations
A preliminary survey was undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area.
The noise survey was conducted to assess the background noise levels in different zones.
Gazettes Notification (S.O. 123(E)) of MoEFCC dated February 14, 2000 on ambient air quality
standards has different noise levels for different zones viz. project site, industrial, and residential
zones. Four sampling locations were selected for the sampling of noise levels. The sampling

3.4.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT
Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of life and degradations of land due to
industrialization, urbanization and population growth is a matter of concern. Therefore, it is
necessary to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize the land use as well as
minimize degradation due to the developmental activities. Also it is necessary to the
landform of the project site and the quality of the soil as soil erosion further deteriorates the
quality of the land. Soil erosion can be prevented by following methods:
Planting vegetation which stabilizes the soil and prevent erosion.
Applying a layer of mulch to the soil top which stabilize the soil as well as to reduce
the storm water runoff.
Using Geo-textiles which help in stabilizing soil.

Methodology
Detailed survey was conducted to evaluate faunal composition of the study area (core and buffer
zone) within the project area. Primary data like faunal composition was recorded during site visit
and secondary data was collected from the Forest department to get the correct picture of the
study area. The major portion of the study consists of agricultural field and human settlements
which support wildlife habitat insignificantly.
The survey methods used for faunal assessment are:
1. Walkthrough method
2. Direct Count Method- birds, mammals
3. Pugmark method – mammals
The major part of the study area lies under agriculture field and human settlements which
restricted the wildlife habitat significantly. Most of the mammalian species reported in the study
area are common fox, and Indian hare. There is neither any wildlife sensitive area nor any
corridor for the movement of wildlife present in the study area. There are many small ponds
present in the buffer zone of study area which are the major attraction sites for avifauna. Common

3.5 SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACTASSESSMENT
3.5.1 Background
INTRODUCTION
Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) refers to the systematic analysis of various social and
economic characteristics of the human beings living in the geographical/study area around the
proposed project location. SEIA is carried out separately but concurrently with Environment Impact
Assessment (EIA) study. The SEIA focuses on the likely effects of the project on social and
economic well-being of the community. The impact(s) may be direct or indirect, positive or
negative. In this section of the EIA Report an attempt has been made to assess the composite Socio-
Economic Impact of the project –Village Sarai Anangpur, Faridabad, Haryana.
OBJECTIVES OF SEIA
The prime objective of the current study is to assess the likely impact of the project on socio-
economic characteristics of people living in the study area. Further, it is to be gauged whether the
impact would be direct or indirect and whether the said impact would be positive or negative. Lastly,
it is to be comprehended if the impact is negative and how the same could be mitigated.
SCOPE
The Scope of the study is as follows:
![Page 72: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

a) Collection of baseline data of the study area.
b) Collation of data, analyses and generation of tables.
c) Comprehension of socio-economic status of the people living in the study area.
d) Identification and inventory of probable impacts of the project on social and economic aspects in
the study area.
e) Assessment of the probable impacts of the project on the people living in the study area.
f) Facilitation of sustainability of positive impact by recommending community development
initiatives in the study area.
g) Suggestion of mitigation measures in case of adverse impact
METHODOLOGY
For composite Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of projects, GRC India carries out systematic
analysis of the various socio-economic characteristics, both in terms of quality and quantity.
Accordingly, both qualitative and quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The
secondary data was collected from the published data/information of the Census Authority. Records
of the state and district administration were also referred to.
For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study area which spans a radius
of 10 km from the periphery of the boundary of the project site. In each selected habitation, a
specified number of representative households were selected for collection of information through
face to face interviews with head of the household or any responsible member of the family.
Census-cum-Sample Survey
To assess the likely impacts of the project, a Census-cum-Sample Survey was conducted for the
collection of socio-economic data. It is treated as a census survey because all habitations
located in the area were considered for the collection of information. Further, in each
habitation a household survey was conducted by drawing representative sample of households.
Since, collection of information from all the households in a habitation is time consuming and
expensive, the sample survey approach was adopted for collection of information from the
selected households in the village(s)/town(s).
Sample Design
![Page 73: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

M/s DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 62
Two-Stage Sampling Design was adopted in the study area. The First Stage Units were Census
village(s)/town(s) and the Ultimate Stage Units were households in the selected village(s)/town(s).
Method of selection of First Stage Units
Probability Proportional to size without replacement and vicinity to the project site was taken into
consideration while selecting the habitations from the list of Census village(s)/town(s).
Method of selection of Ultimate Stage Units
The ultimate stage sampling unit is households. The households for survey are selected by simple
random sampling technique.
Sample Size
While deciding the sample size the following factors were taken into account: Confidence Level
(95%, Table value: 1.96); Degree of precision (Δ): 0.5; Variation in population/ Standard Deviation
(σ); The sample size at each level (village and household) was decided by using the formula n = √
{(1.96*σ)/Δ}; where n=Sample Size, 1.96 is the Table Value of Confidence Limit, σ = Standard
Deviation and Δ = Degree of Precision.
Survey Instruments
The following Schedules/Questionnaires were developed for collection of primary data from the
households and villages/towns:
Questionnaire/Schedule for Village/Town Particulars
Questionnaire/Schedule for Household Details and Project Perception
Each of these data instruments has segment blocks and there are both open-ended and closed-
ended questions.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
Impact on Demographic Composition
The proposed project will make some change in the demographic composition of the study area as
the estimated additional population of 8662 including staff and visitor will increase after the
completion of the project. Whereas the work force recruited during the construction and operation
phase will be met locally to the maximum extent. Local laborers from nearby area will be employed
during the construction phase. In the operation phase, most of the expected occupants will be from
the surrounding areas. Hence, the project will lead to a redistribution of occupants within the city.
Thus, no significant influx of people is envisaged.
Employment Opportunities
Local labor will be hired from nearby areas during construction phase. It is a positive impact of the
project since it will provide employment opportunities to the local people. Similarly, in the operation
![Page 79: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER” VILLAGE- SARAI ANANGPUR, DISTRICT FARIDABAD, HARYANA EIA/EMP REPORT
M/s DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 68
phase of the project, opportunities for employment will arise from the expected business, trading etc.
activities for the local people of the area.
Impetus to Trade & Business in Construction Materials
The proposed project will give much impetus to trade and business on construction materials in the
nearest market to the project area. It is expected that trading and business will flourish of various
construction materials namely coarse sand, fine sand, stone aggregate, cement, reinforcement steel,
pipes, bricks, conduit pipes, glaze & floor tiles, hardware, stainless steel sink, etc.
Impetus to Infrastructure Development
The project will pave the way for various infrastructure developments that includes roads, parks,
play grounds etc. This is a positive impact which will create further employment opportunities for
the local people.
Impact on Agriculture
There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking place on the proposed
area. The area is likely to be free from annual floods, which destroy standing crops land and
property.
Impact on Traffic Movement
The site has good connectivity to Golf Course extension road. Only internal roads, paths will be
developed for vehicular movements for transportation of construction material during construction
phase whereas internal tracks and paths will be developed for traffic circulation during operational
phase. Since the site is adjacent to Rajesh Pilot Road, which has low traffic density, there will be no
need for diversion or closure of existing traffic routes. During the construction phase, about 15-20
trucks are estimated per week. Adequate parking space within the project site for loading and
unloading of materials will be provided.
Adequate parking space (2466 ECS) will be provided for operational phase within the project
premises.

M/s DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 69
Impact on Law & Order
As most of the workers to be employed in the proposed project are local residents so no law and
order problem is envisaged. It is expected that the workers will attend to their duties from their
residence and return to their homes after the day’s work. However, to meet any untoward incident
one police post may be set up close to the project site.
Impact on Health
There are no chances of any major diseases due to the construction work. Suitable drainage and
waste management measures (with frequent spray of insecticides etc.) will be adopted in both the
construction and operational phase such that there will be no stagnation of water or accumulation of
waste. This will effectively restrict the reproduction and growth of disease vectors.
However, to meet any emergency situation few safety measures are outlined below:
a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure health and safety of all the
employees at work. All efforts will be made to provide and maintain a safe working environment
and ensure that the machinery and equipment in use is safe for employees. Further, it will be
ensured that working arrangements are not hazardous to employees.
b) Provision of First Aid: In case of any accidents arising out of the proposed construction works,
timely and prompt first aid treatment is the most important aspect. Suitable first aid arrangements
shall be made at the site for rendering immediate first aid in case of any injury. The first-aiders
will be well trained in handling patients working in the project.
c) Regular Medical Examination: For all the construction workers, medical examination will be
made on regular basis.
d) Health Education: Adequate health education and information related to the work will be
provided to the workers so that their health and safety can be ensured.
e) Tie-up with the Nearest Hospital for Medical Assistance: To meet the medical needs of the
construction workers in case of accidents, tie-up with nearest hospitals will be made. Efforts will
be made to reserve a few beds in the said hospitals for the workers to meet any emergency. This
will ensure timely medical aid to the affected persons.

f) Supply of Mask and Gloves: The workers exposed to dust will be provided with dust masks
to prevent them from getting affected by respiratory diseases. Gloves will be provided to workers
working with hand tools, to ensure their safety. Small quantities of fugitive emissions are envisaged
during transport and handling of construction materials. Such emissions will be temporary and
controlled by the use of water sprinkling and other viable techniques like covering of loose material
with tarpaulin.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to responsibility of a company to ensure positive
impact on environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of
public sphere. CSR is a way of conducting business by which the corporate entities visibly
contribute to the social good. The CSR activities are increasingly being taken up by the project
proponents not only as fulfilling of mandatory provisions but also for the formation or enhancement
of brand image. Besides the above, CSR is seen more as a responsibility towards society rather than
a business promotional activity. It is the need of the day for expansion of occupational welfare. It is
expected that this will improve the socio-economic status of the people and at the same time the
popularity of the project proponent will enhance. The activities to be undertaken for the local people
under CSR have been identified. For the local community in the study area the project proponent
should take-up the following development initiatives for the betterment of the local people:
1. Skill Development and Women Empowerment
Skill Development Programme for students and unemployed on employability.
Providing training to the women for improving employability skills and enhancing their
self-dependency.
2. Infrastructure Development
Renovation of Government schools in the study area.
Sanitation Facilities including construction of girl’s toilet in schools.
3. Improvement of Health Status
Health Checkups and medical camps.

CHAPTER-4
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses identification and appraisal of various environmental impacts due to the
Commercial Project. Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary
or secondary. The construction and functional phase of the project comprise various activities,
each of which may have some adverse impact on environmental parameter. Various impacts
during the construction and operation phase on the environmental parameters have been studied
to estimate the impact on environment.
In development phase, basic infrastructure facilities like internal road, Piling and storm water
drainage, etc. was developed.
For proper evaluation and assessment of the environmental impacts due to construction and
functional phase of proposed project understanding to the various activities associated with the
project is essential. Various activities related to the project would be different, in terms of nature
during the construction and functional phase.
The impact identification and prediction process aims to:
Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of project.
Characterize the potential impacts affecting a target or receptor (physical, human and
socio-economic).
Assess the potential of changing likely-hood of impact through Environmental
Management Plan (EMP)
Prediction of the impacts due to the construction and functional activities encompass the
developmental processes to be undertaken during construction and functional phases.
For each category of environmental receptor (such as ambient air quality, water quality, soils,
land etc.) the potential impacts of activities has been assessed and discussed in detail in
following sub sections. In each case, cognizance has been taken for mitigation measures
inherited in the construction and operation phases.

Figure 4.1: Elements of Mitigation
An EIA practice requires technical understanding of relevant issues and measures that work in
such circumstances. The priority of selection of mitigation measures should be in the following
order:
Step One: Impact avoidance:
This step is most effective when applied at an early stage of project planning. It can be
achieved by:
Not undertaking certain projects or elements that could result in significant adverse
impacts
Avoiding areas that are environmentally sensitive; and
Putting in place the preventative measures to stop adverse impacts from occurring,
for example, release of effluent from a project to water bodies.
Step Two: Impact minimization
This step is usually taken during impact identification and prediction to limit or reduce the
degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts. It can be achieved by:
scaling down or relocating the proposal
redesigning elements of the project
taking supplementary measures to manage the impacts
Step Three: Impact compensation:
AVOIDANCE
MINIMIZATION
COMPENSATION
Common Preferable
Rare, Undesirable

Actions during design, construction,
operation to minimize or eliminate
impacts

This step is usually applied to remedy unavoidable residual adverse impacts after a project has
become operational. It can be achieved by rehabilitation of the affected site or environment, for
example, by habitat enhancement.
restoration of the affected site or environment to its previous state or better.
replacement of the same resource values at another location.
4.2 POLLUTION SOURCES
Pollutants generated from the development of the project during both the construction and
operational phase will be solid, liquid and gaseous in nature. Also, the generation of pollution
could be continuous, periodic or accidental. Sources of pollutants and their characteristics during
the construction and operation phase are given below in Table 4.1.

4.3 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION
The primary function of an environmental impact assessment study is to predict and
quantify potential impacts, assess and evaluate the magnitude and their importance in order
to develop an environmental management plan to mitigate the impacts. Environmental
impacts could be positive or negative, direct or indirect, local or regional and also
reversible or irreversible. The areas of environmental concern for which the impacts and
their predictions are taken into consideration are mainly:
Air Environment
Water Environment
Noise Environment
Land Environment
Biological Environment
Socio economic Environment
The impacts can be further categorized as positive impacts and negative impacts depending
upon their nature, potential and magnitude.
This chapter discusses the incremental environmental impacts on the environmental parameters
during the construction and operation phases of the project. The potential impacts have been

4.4 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING DEVELOPMENT
AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE
4.4.1 Topography
The proposed development will involve considerable change in the topography of the area, as
the proposed land is an undulating terrain with a contour difference of 1.381 m in the highest
and lowest part of the land. The proposed activity during the construction phase would
involve excavation work and leveling of proposed site. Since the proposed project involves
the construction of basements earth will be required to be excavated. The cut & fill will be
balance by volume of earth which would be excavated and for filling low lying area and
construction of embankment for roads.
The construction activities was proceed in a manner to maintain the natural slope of the area
by creating basements.
No additional stresses will be imposed by the project on these parameters and hence no
significant impacts are expected.
4.4.2 Land Use Pattern
The existing land use of the acquired site does not support any agricultural practices;
although, some of the small bushes and seasonal vegetation exist within the site. Further,
the said land has already been granted license for development of Commercial Project by
DTCP, Haryana.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the proposed development will not cause any loss to
agricultural productivity.
The proposed facade of the project was designed with climate responsive elements,
sensitive use of stone, water and greenery to create an efficient and aesthetic work
environment. Planned environment friendly development would create a positive impact
on the aesthetics and visual appeal of the region.
The proposed development on the project site include development of large inter
connected landscaped areas and open spaces at various levels which would enhance the
overall aesthetics of the area.
![Page 94: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER”

DISTRICT FARIDABAD, HARYANA EIA/EMP REPORT
M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 83
The change in aesthetics and visual appeal of the region will also be positive, wherein
unplanned development will give way to a planned, environment friendly and sustainable
urban habitat.
4.4.3 Land Environment
Impact: To avoid loss of top soil during excavation, it is proposed to temporarily store the top
soil in an earmarked area which will be used to be laid over areas to be used for plantation.
Rest of the soil was transported by road to fill up low lying areas elsewhere. Proper drainage
system is provided to channelize storm water. Hence the impact on soil during construction
phase was reversible in the nature.
Mitigation: To ensure minimum or temporary disturbance to soil, it is proposed to remove
vegetative cover only from the specific area on which construction has taken place and
minimize disturbance to the vegetation in adjacent areas. Land clearing activities only
confined to necessary areas. The top soil was stripped from constructional areas and
stockpiled for later use in landscaping. The number, frequency and area of movement of
heavy vehicles will be restricted on soil surface.
4.4.4 Water Environment
4.4.4.1 Surface Water Quality
Impact: The primary concerns relating to surface water quality associated with construction
activities are pointed out below:
Runoff related to unpaved and excavated areas during the rain shower.
Sediments transported to runoff from the construction site.
Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other materials are stored, used and
disposed, off.
Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site.
The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from
excavated site only causing increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water
from the site. However, this impact will be minimized by planning garland drains and settling
pits to collect sediments and discharge only clean water to natural water bodies. Also, this will
be temporary in the nature and would be observed in first rain only and after the first
monsoon, the excavated soil at site would be stabilized. Hence, more precautions are required.

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 84
Mitigation Measures:- The impact on surface water quality can be minimized by adopting
following measures;
Excavation during dry season and proper management of excavated soils,
Clearing all debris from site as soon as construction is over.
By providing hutment and toilet facilities for construction labour,
Through the proper disposal of wastewater generated at site.
Canal is bundled from the sides to prevent any kind of pollution to enter.
4.4.4.2 Ground water Quality
Impact: No hazardous chemical and material was used used during construction phase of
Commercial Project. Debris and wastes generated during this phase was collected and
disposed suitably. Therefore, possibility of contamination of ground water will be negligible.
Hence, no impact was anticipated on the ground water quality during the construction phase.
Mitigation: A well planned solid waste management plan was followed during the
construction phase including timely collection, segregation and disposal as per legal
requirements.
4.4.4.3 Surface and Ground Water Hydrology
Surface Water Hydrology
Impact: Runoff during rains take way to natural drains and storm water drains laid in the
area.
Mitigation Measures: Project proponent will ensure no interception on water runoff flow
routes and drainage pattern of the area throughout the construction by providing adequate
water channels.
Ground Water Hydrology
Impact: Water requirement during construction phase was varying depending upon
construction activities and was met by STP at the project site. Water wias required for site
preparation activities, dust settlement, consolidation, compaction and curing as well as
building construction and drinking water requirement. The requirement of construction water
did not put sudden pressure on the available ground water resources of area as other source of
water supply was private water tankers. Therefore, impact on ground water resource was
insignificant during construction of the project
![Page 96: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

VILLAGE- SARAI ANANGPUR,
DISTRICT FARIDABAD, HARYANA EIA/EMP REPORT
M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 85
Mitigation Measures: Although no significant impact is anticipated on the groundwater
regime, it is proposed to carry out the following to further minimize the demand on freshwater
resources:
Curing water will be sprayed on concrete structures and free flow of water not
allowed.
After liberal curing on the first day, all concrete structures was painted with curing
chemicals to save water to stop daily water curing hence save water.
Concrete structures was covered with thick cloth/gunny bags and then water sprayed
on them to avoid water rebound and ensure sustained and complete curing.
Ponds was made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water flowing away from the
flat surface while curing.
Water ponding was done on all sunken slabs. This highlight the importance of having
an impervious formwork.
4.4.5 Air Environment
Emissions Source: The potential sources of air emissions during the construction and
development phase of the project as follows:
Dust was from earth works (during site clearance and preparation);
Emissions from power generator at site;
Emissions was from the operation of construction equipment and machines;
Fugitive emissions from vehicles running to site;
Fugitive emissions was during the unloading of material at the site;
Fugitive emissions was during mixing of cement with other building materials during
development and construction activities;
Air emissions other than dust arise from combustion of hydrocarbons. The pollutants
of concerns are NO2, SO2, CO, particulate etc.
Air emission by the various stacks of industries.
Potential Impacts: Ambient air quality effects are normally assessed in relation to their
potential to cause;
Health deterioration and nuisance in local communities
Health deterioration amongst onsite workers
![Page 97: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 86
Assessment of the impacts from Dust Emissions: During the excavation of channels,
foundations, unloading of construction material, cement bags and mixing of cement with other
building materials such as brick and silica dust, wood dust, fugitive dust emissions may be
emitted at construction site. During construction, dust suppression by water spraying was
done and curtaining floors from all sides was done to prevent cement dust from becoming
airborne. It may be noted that all the emissions was in the form of coarse particulate matter
and settle down ultimately in close vicinity of construction site. Therefore, no significant
impact was anticipated due to dust emission during development and construction phase.
Assessment of the impact from Diesel Generators: Emissions from the D.G. Set during
construction phase caused some localized impact on ambient air quality for short duration, as
it was only operated during power failure only. It may be noted that the D.G. Set power was
used to operate construction equipment only if required. Adequate height of stacks and
acoustic erective is provided to the D.G. Set as per guidelines of CPCB to facilitate the
dispersion of flue gases into the atmosphere.
Mitigation Measures: It is proposed to provide adequate dust control systems in the form of
installation of batch plants, and loose material handling in covered sheds. Dust suppression
system is also to be provided where necessary. It is also proposed to cover scaffolding, hosing
down road surfaces and cleaning of vehicles especially during the dry season. Avenue and
curtain plantation on the internal roads and peripheral plantation around the site is initiated
from the beginning of construction activities.
4.4.6 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
During the construction phase of project, noise was generated from the various sources.
Some major sources of noise generation at project site are listed are under:
Generation of noise was during movement of vehicles carrying materials and loading
& unloading activities.
Generation of noise was from excavation machines, concrete mixer and other
construction machines,
Generation of noise during the operation of D.G. Set,
Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.
The noise emission sources during construction phase included construction
machineries/equipments to be employed at site.

Prediction Model
For an approximate estimation of propagation of noise in the ambient air from the area or
point source, a standard mathematical model for sound wave propagation has been used which
is as follows:
Noise (Receptor) = Noise (Source) - 20 Log [distance (Receptor) / distance (Source)]
The incremental noise level during the construction phase was predicted using the CPCB
approved noise model DHAWANI, applicable for stationary point sources. For the modeling
purposes, worst case scenario has been considered assuming a flat terrain and absence of
sound absorbers.
It may also be noted that the most of the construction activities was carried out only during the
daytime. The expected noise levels from various activities are given hereunder:

Resultant Noise Level:
The combined effect of above sources can be determined as per the following equation:
Lp (total) = 10 log (10(Lpl/10)
+ 10(Lp2/10)
+ 10(Lp3/10)
+……..) ……. (1)
Where: Lp1, Lp2 and Lp3 are noise pressure level at a point due to different sources in dB (A).
For an approximate estimation of dispersion of noise in the ambient air from the sources
point, a standard mathematical model for sound wave propagation is used. The sound level
generated by noise source decrease with increasing distance from the source due to wave
divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level from the source is expected due to
atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path.
For hemispherical sound wave propagation through homogenous loss of free medium, noise
levels at various locations can be calculated due to different sources using model based on the
first principles as per the following, equation:
Lp2 = Lp1 -20 log (r2/r1) ………. ( 2 )
Where: Lp2 and Lp1 – Sound Pressure Level (SPLs) at distance of r2 and r1 from the source
respectively in dB (A).
Assuming no environmental attenuation factors, noise modeling has been done, which shows
that additional noise level will not be much above the baseline noise level with in short
distance.
The noise produced during, development and construction phase will have temporary impacts
on the existing, ambient noise levels at project site but restricted to small distance and only

during daytime. Therefore, the impact of noise levels on surrounding area will be
insignificant during the development and construction phase.
Mitigation: To minimize impacts of noise generation from construction activities, the
workers was provided with ear muffs and other protection devices. D.G. Sets with proper
acoustic enclosure for controlling noise was installed at the project site. Avenue and curtain
plantation on the internal roads and peripheral plantation around the site servea as an
attenuator and was initiated from the beginning of construction activities
4.4.6 Biological Environment
Impact: There is no loss of forestland due to the construction of the proposed project. No
tree felling was involved, Birds and other domesticated biodiversity observed near the project
site are common and already adapted to thrive in human - colonized habitats. The project did
not have any significant negative ecological impact. There is no forest near the project site and
therefore there is no effect on the ecology of the area.
Mitigation Measures: However, Developed extensive green areas in the project site to
improve the aesthetics of the area which helps in reduction of air pollution, noise pollution
and provide suitable habitat for local birds and animal species.
4.4.7 Economic Impacts
Impact: Relatively long-lived economic impacts of the development and construction phase
are likely to be experienced in local area for the duration of construction phase of workers was
be hired every day from local traders in nearby areas. This is likely to give a short-lived
stimulus to the traders that may disappear as soon as the construction is complete. Noticeable,
flow-on economic impacts will be experienced in other sectors of economy as a result of
purchase of construction materials and the payment of wages and salaries to the personnel
engaged in the development and construction of project. Once the development and
construction of the project will complete, there will be long-term positive impact on the
economic structure of the area. People in the area will get direct and indirect employment
opportunities and other benefits from the Proposed Project. Therefore, overall positive impact
is anticipated on economy of the area due to development and construction activity of the
project

4.4.8 Socio-Economic
During the construction phase, about 300 workers got direct employment opportunity, and
during operational phase about 8500 workers will get direct employment which will have
beneficial impact on the local people and improve socio-economic conditions of the area.
4.4.9 Construction Camp
Impact: During the development and construction phase, most of the laborers was from local
areas. Therefore, temporary laborer camps was constructed to accommodate the laborers at the
project site..
Mitigation: Suitable measures was taken at the construction camps to mitigate anticipated
impacts due to temporary accommodation of laborers such as provision of clean drinking
water, adequate toilet facilities, water and solid waste disposal system.
Other safety precautions was also maintained at work site including provision of PPEs,
guarding of dangerous machine parts, maintenance of equipments as hoists and lifts etc, and
adequate provision of different types of fire extinguishers was made. All applicable rules and
regulations pertaining to workplace health and welfare of workers will be adhered to.
4.4.10 Solid Waste Management
Impact: The construction waste includes debris, concrete (often recycled and reused at the
site), steel and other metals, pallets, packaging and paper products, fluorescent tubes, wood
beams, joists, studs, baseboards, cabinets and cupboards, railings, brick, doors and casings,
interior windows, bathroom fixtures, light fixtures, ceiling grid and tile, furnishings, replant
trees, shrubs. All waste generated during the construction phase was collected and segregated
for disposal as per the standard practice.
During the development and construction phase, some amount of debris, cuttings of
construction materials was observed at construction site. However, the quantity of these
waste materials was very small and limited up to the construction site only. There was no
contamination due to this waste as it was collected time to time during construction phase and
disposed accordingly.
Mitigation Measures: After due waste segregation, recyclable wastes was sold off to scrap
dealers and vendors. Hazardous wastes was disposed off as per the provisions of the
Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016.

Impact: During development and construction phase, construction labour and construction
materials bringing vehicles was approach the project site. The Commercial Project is well
connected to neighborhood, where public transport facility, like, buses and minibuses are
available as transport linkage. During construction phase, some impact is anticipated on the
transport linkage of the area, however increase in traffic will not adversely affect the local
traffic pattern since the site is well connected by road of adequate width
Mitigation: Through careful planning, the movement of the heavy vehicles will be scheduled
to reduce incremental load on existing traffic such that the peak hours are avoided. It shall
also be ensured that all the vehicles to the site will be provided with Parking space such that
there is no waiting time along the access roads.
4.5 ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING POST
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
4.5.1 Land Environment
During the operation phase, carefully designed landscaped areas and plantation will be
maintained. No significant impact is expected on the soils on and around the site, due to
the following management measures:
i. All solid and hazardous wastes from the project will be properly collected,
stored and disposed. An integrated solid waste management plan will be
developed as per the details given in Chapter 6.
ii. Wastewater will be treated and disinfected and reused for various purposes on
site and will not be discharged outside the premises.
iii. Storm water will be used to recharge the aquifer after filtration of silt and sand.
iv. Secondary containment will be provided in fuel, oil and other material storage areas.
v. The entire site area will be well paved and thus there will be no leaching of any
substances in case of spills.
Hence, no negative impact on soil quality in the study area is expected due to the project
activities.

4.5.2 Water environment
4.5.2.1 Surface water hydrology
Impact: The waste water generated from the proposed activity, will be collected through the
lined network for treatment in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The treated wastewater will
be reused and no discharge of polluted water will be made into any surface water body.
Therefore, impact on the surface water hydrology was insignificant during the post
construction phase.
Mitigation: In absence of any storm water drainage, the rainfall often finds its way into the
surface water bodies. To avoid the same, a well planned rain water harvesting plan was
proposed that collect the rain water, as ground water level is shallow at site and by doing this,
it is possible to recharge ground water as well as maintain water in river to meet demands of
the people living near by the river.
4.5.2.2 Ground water hydrology
Impact: Underground water tank of required capacity is provided and over head tanks also
provided for water storage. Therefore, no significant impact is anticipated on ground water
resources due to the project as it water level in the area is shallow.
Mitigation Measures: It is proposed that rain water will be collected and conveys the same
to recharge pits through proper drainage channel, as ground water level is shallow at site and
by doing this, it is possible to recharge ground water as well as maintain water in river to meet
demands of the people living near by the river. Treated wastewater from the site will be
recycled for landscaping, flushing to further reduce demand on freshwater resources.
Water meters conforming to IS standards shall be installed at the inlet point of water uptake
and at the discharge point to monitor the daily water consumption. To further lower the water
consumption, options of Low Flow Flushing systems, sensor based fixtures, waterless urinals,
and tap aerators etc will be explored.
4.5.2.3 Surface Water Quality
Impact: The wastewater generated from the project will be collected through the lined
network, and treated in a STP will be provided in module wise. No discharges from the
project site will be made to any surface water body.
Mitigation Measures: Effluent will be discharged after proper treatment.

4.5.2.4 Ground Water Quality
Impact: The storm water from the site will be channelized to recharge pits for the reason as
explained above. The wastewater from the site is proposed to be used for landscaping only
after adequate treatment in existing Sewage Treatment Plant. Hence, no adverse impact is
anticipated on the groundwater quality form the project.
Mitigation Measures: Solid waste management practices is adopted and followed to prevent
groundwater pollution through leaching.
4.5.3 Air Environment
AIR ENVIRONMENT
Air Emissions Sources
Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate from one place to another place
depending upon the wind direction and speed. The sources of air emission can be grouped
into three categories of point, area and line sources:
1. A pollutant source that can be treated in a dispersion model as though pollutants
were emitted from a single point that is fixed in space. Example: the mouth of a
smoke stack.
2. An array of pollutant sources so widely dispersed and uniform in strength that
they can be treated in a dispersion model as an aggregate pollutant release from
a defined area at a uniform rate. Such sources may include vehicles and other
small engines, small businesses and household activities, or biogenic sources,
such as a forest, that release hydrocarbons.
3. An array of pollutant sources along a defined path that can be treated in
dispersion models as an aggregate uniform release of pollutants along a line.
Example: the sum of emissions from individual cars traveling down a highway
can be treated as a line source.
Prediction of Impacts
Vehicular emissions and DG set emissions was the major sources of air pollution. During the
post construction phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be owned by the population of such
project. Ground Level Concentration of pollutants (as added by the project) will depend upon
the following:
![Page 105: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)

Emission of pollutants from additional traffic on the roads due to the project.
Meteorological conditions.
Emission sources from D.G. Sets.
Industry specific emissions
PM, NO2, SO2 and CO will be the main pollutants of primary concern released from traffic
movement, DG sets emissions. The dispersion of vehicular emissions would be confined
within limited distance from the road and concentration will decrease with the increase in
distance from road as worked out by the line source model. It was anticipated that the
contribution of vehicular emissions from the exhaust in ambient air quality will be marginal
as Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certified vehicles and branded vehicles with low sulphur
diesel will be used. Ground Level Concentration (GLC) of pollutants are found to be well
within the stipulated National Ambient Air Quality Standards due to traffic movement and
vehicles used inside the premises. Air modeling for DG set using ISCST3 model has been
done for prediction of impacts caused by DG sets operation during Operation Phase. Stack &
emission data was used as per design value provided by standard make and stipulated
standards. Other primary data used as input for model were hourly meteorological data of
Wind speed & direction, temperature, cloud amount and mixing height. Mixing height used in
the model was taken from secondary data source “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height
Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India published in 2008 by IMD, Delhi”. Hourly
meteorological monitored at site during study period data was compared with long term data
available from the nearest IMD Station.
Power requirement will be met from DHBVN. Back-up power supply will be provided by
installing 5 nos. sets of combined capacity = 7,000 KVA (4 x 1500 KVA + 1 x 1000 KVA).
This will cause emission of PM, SO2, NO2 and CO in the ambient air quality. In the project,
D.G. set will be used only during power failure and low sulphur diesel will be used as fuel to
minimize SO2 emission. Incremental load in the ambient air environment will be found to be
very low as given in the report. An adequate stack height for D.G. sets is provided as per the
stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/ National Building Code
Manual to facilitate adequate dispersion of pollutants and to minimize the impact on Ambient
Air Quality under the influence of local meteorology.
Meteorology - Hourly Meteorological data of wind speed & direction, temperature, cloud
amount and rainfall were monitored at site for 1 months for the dispersion model. Wind rose
was prepared in sixteen directions as per standards. It was observed that westerly and north-

northwesterly wind was the prevalent wind direction during the study period. Average wind
speed was 3.02 m/s and calm condition was 0% during pre-monsoon.
Fig 4.2 Windrose Diagram
Model details and Frame work of Computation:
The predictions for air quality during operation phase was carried out using
CPCB/MoEF&CC approved USEPA, Industrial Source Complex (Version - ISCST3)
Dispersion model developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for
prediction of pollutants dispersion from single or multiple point sources using emission and
hourly meteorological data of the study period. Assumption used in the model was as
follows:
The plume rise is limited to that of the mixing layer as published by IMD in the Catalogue of
Atlas of Mixing Heights in India for the site
Stack down-wash is not considered.
Flat terrain is used for computations;
It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical transformation.

Chemical and scavenging process occurred in the atmosphere in the pollutants released
at the stack exit is not considered.
Prediction is based on single/multiple point sources, pollution released at stack exit
and dispersed on the ground under influence of local meteorological conditions during
the season.
ISCST3 dispersion model was used to predict GLC caused by a single point source (1 stack)
at each receptor of 100 m x 100 m of grid network covering total area of 2000 m x 2000 m
around the proposed source with stack & emission values and 1-hourly meteorological data.
It was observed that SO2, NO2, Co and PM were significant pollutants released from the fuel
of the D.G. sets. Emission of PM, CO and SO2 were found insignificant with low values
compared to NO2. In this proposed project, NO2 was the worst affected pollutant released into
the atmosphere. 24-h GLC were predicted for SO2, NO2, CO and PM but isopleth of NO2 is
only presented in the report as GLC of other pollutants were lower under similar
meteorological conditions.
Discussion of Results
ISCST3 - Dispersion model was used to predict GLC of NO2 with stack & emission and
hourly meteorological data. NO2, being the predominant source, 24-hours average maximum
incremental GLC of NO2 was predicted to be 3.077 µg/m3 which will occur at X= 1400m, Y=
0 m from the DG sets fitted with 66 m chimney. It was found that GLC of NO2 was less than
the permissible limit of 100µg/m3
(as per CPCB guidelines) even under worst meteorological
condition (Table 4.5).

Spatial distribution of NO2 is shown in isopleth Figure 4.4. It was observed that GLC closed
to the proposed source will be not significant. 24-h maximum value was 3.077 µg/m3
occurring at the distance 1200 m West of the prediction point.
Conclusion
Incremental 24-h GLC of NO2 was 3.077 µg/m3. High to moderate wind speed and minimum
stack height of 66 m facilitates dispersion at the distance of 1200 m West under the influence
of local meteorology.

Mitigation Measures: The project proponent will develop a green belt inside the premises of
the project site and along the internal road, which will work as barrier for the movement of
pollutants and help in pollution control.
Different native varieties of plants will be planted i.e. for parks, parking area, avenues etc.
Common trees which are going to be planted are Neem, Amaltus, Pipal, Pilkhan and
Maulsiri,Samel & Alstonia. Road-side plantation will be carried out.

4.5.4 Noise Environment
Impact: The main sources of noise from the project are running of D.G. Set. D.G. Set
installed will provide emergency electricity supply during power failure. This will be
intermittent and for short durations. The PUC certified will be allowed to enter the site.
Mitigation Measures: D.G. Sets will be fitted in suitable acoustic enclosures Adequate
personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to the personnel engaged in D.G. Set
room. The traffic noise will diminish within a short distance from the source of origin.
Honking within the site will be discouraged. Proposed rows of plantation will further restrict
the noise on other side of the plantation i.e. outside the boundary.
4.5.5 Terrestrial Ecology
Impact: The project proposes 10,003.812 Sq. m of green area that will be planted with local
species with aesthetic appeal that will attract local bird and insect species.
Mitigation Measures: Various kinds of plantation such as curtain, avenue and ornamental
plantation and lawns was started during the construction phase itself and maintained during
the operation phase. Open space and Parks will be fenced through the grasses and ornamental
plants. Local and low water demanding plants that will also be effective as sinks for various
pollutants and attract birds will be grown in the site that will contribute in positive to the local
ecology.
4.5.6 Socio-economic Impact
IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Positive Impacts
Better Physical Infrastructure
At present the Project area is devoid of adequate physical infrastructure. There is lack of good
quality roads, communication and transport, and water facilities in the project area. The
project will involve road upgrading and better power and water supply in the area. This would
enhance the existing infrastructure and also encourage further development in the
surroundings. It is likely that with better communication and accessibility infrastructure, there

will be increase in the number of local people indulging in trade, commerce and allied
services.
Better Social Infrastructure
The design of proposed project has recognized the important role that social infrastructure
plays in the creation of strong, healthy and sustainable communities. Sustainable communities
require good schools, good health services, good parks, transport choices, flourishing
businesses as well as a range of housing types. The design includes: office spaces and plenty
of open spaces and green area that will reduce vehicles congestion and air pollution etc. It will
provide the following benefits:
Better conducive environment for living
Enhance confidence of foreign investors in Gurgaon
Green initiatives :- reduce traffic congestion / fuel consumption / pollutions
Employment Potential:
During the Construction period, there was requirement of workers thus providing
opportunities for employment. The proposed project will provide employment to local
residents. Besides this, local building material industries supplied cement, sand stone and
other materials. The construction of project will increase the movement of workers and
people in the area, providing a greater exchange of technology and business opportunities.
Generation of additional economic activity is expected to create employment opportunities for
the local population during operation phase. The service industry will have a corresponding
increased market base. Money spent within the local economies will have a multiplier effect
as the money is spent throughout the community. This will improve the business base in the
region and will lead to additional services being provided.
Other Benefits
Benefits to women: The proposed facility has generated jobs for the women laborers
during construction as well as operation phase. The women would also have the
opportunities for administrative or other supervisory jobs, closer to their place of stay.
Increase in land value: With the proposed project coming in the area the prices of the land
will increase considerably. Hence the proposed project will have beneficial impact.
![Page 112: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 101
Better health and educational facility: The proposed facility is well planned and would be
designed to incorporate the state of art health facility and therefore would provide
emergency services. Similarly Private educational resources in the study area would
provide for the better education.
Wider economic growth: This project will increase the economic activities around the
area, creating avenues for direct/indirect employment in the post project period. There
would be a wider economic impact in terms of generating opportunities for other business
like workshops, marketing, repair and maintenance tasks etc.
Aesthetics Environment: The architectural character of the new building, the vistas and
landscaped areas created would improve the aesthetics of the area.
Additional Revenues: The development of land for any purpose creates both an immediate
demand for services and a flow of revenues to the community from a variety of sources.
For example property tax, licenses and permits fee etc.
Negative Impacts
Traffic and Transport: During the construction phase, truck movement due to construction
activities taken place. In order to minimize any inconvenience that may arise, the movement
of trucks was only allowed during night and non-peak hours. During the operation phase, the
traffic in the area is likely to increase. This may lead to traffic congestion and inconvenience
for pedestrians and residents accessing the localities. The traffic study and Transportation
Management Plan being developed for the project will mitigate these impacts to a large extent
Transit Labor population: Laborers for the project were from surrounding areas. About
400 laborers were working on the site and most of them were on contract or from the
neighboring settlements. No significant pressure on local infrastructure is envisaged.
Negligible Impacts
Resettlement & rehabilitation issues: Since there is no existing settlement at the project site,
hence there is no issue of resettlement or rehabilitation.
Demography: During construction and operation phase, some of the work force is likely to be
nonlocal. It is highly unlikely that this will affect or alter the existing demographic profile and
population density.

CHAPTER-5
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the assessment of various options that may be available for different
components of the project in terms of environmental suitability. Lately, there are a number of
options available for the use of building materials, means of energy conservation and methods of
transportation. The various applicable options are thus evaluated for their suitability to project
and environment.
5.2 BUILDING MATERIALS
The choice of building materials plays an important role in terms of energy efficiency of the
building. The manufacture of building materials should also be assessed to ensure the use of
environment friendly and recycled/ recyclable construction materials.
5.2.1 Wall
Conventionally, sun burnt clay bricks are cemented in the construction of walls. The strength of
these construction materials cannot be compromised which will otherwise pose a threat to the
life and property of the occupants. However, presently, materials with similar properties are
easily available that are made of waste products, thereby reducing the waste burden and
conserving natural resources. Thus, the project proposes the use of the following for walls:
Brick and block products with waste and recycled contents such as fly ash (15 to 35%),
blast furnace slag (20 to 25%), sewage sludge, waste wood fiber etc.
Fal-G products – are manufactured by use of two waste products being fly ash, calcite
gypsum (a byproduct of phosphorgypsum or natural gypsum) along with lime.
Perforated bricks
Materials proposed for use in the wall openings such as doors and windows include:
Precast thin lintels, use of fibrocement-sunshade cum lintel etc.
Renewable timber
Steel manufactured from recycled content
Aluminum manufactured from verified recycled content
![Page 118: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER”
VILLAGE- SARAI ANANGPUR,

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 107
Saw dust based doors and window frames
Ferro cement shutters, PVC doors and windows, Rice husk boards, Natural fibre-
reinforced
Polymer composite door panels
The finishing for the openings will be by the use of Fly ash, Ceramic tiles, and Terrazzo
floors.
5.2.2 Roof
The conventional material used for roofing is RCC, as it is suitable for longer spans. The
constituents of RCC, i.e. cement, sand, aggregate and steel are energy intensive materials and
high embodied energy content.
Alternately, it is proposed to use lightweight synthetic aggregates such as fly ash based
aggregates, which is suitable for manufacture of brick, blocks, and is good substitute for clinker
and natural aggregates. When pre-cast/aerated cellular concrete walling blocks and roofing slabs
are used in multi- storied structures, they reduce the weight, resulting in a more economical
design. They have high rating to fire resistance and provide better insulation and thus improved
energy efficiency. These are manufactured by the aerated cellular concrete manufacturing
process.
5.2.3 Superstructure
Structural frame of building comprises of footing, columns, beams and lintels, over which the
envelope of building is supported. A variety of metals are used in buildings, but the major
building material used structurally is steel. Steel has a high-embodied energy and recyclable
content, as well as scrap value. Aluminum forms the second most common material used for
roofing sheets, window frames, and cladding systems, which has the highest recyclable content.
Hence, bulk of the metal needs for the building shall be met by steel and aluminum. Problem
with RCC. The choice of cement will be:
Use of fly ash and/or blast furnace slag concrete: The amount of cement used in
concrete can be reduced by replacing a portion of the cement with coal fly ash (waste
![Page 119: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)

material from coal burning power plants) and/or GGBF (ground granulated blast furnace)
slag in conventional mixes.
Recycled aggregates: Recycled aggregates include crushed concrete, brick, glass, or
other masonry waste can also be used in conventional mixes
Lightweight concrete: Aluminum powder when added to lime reacts and form hydrogen
bubbles, and a lightweight cementations material is formed which could be used in
conventional mixes.
5.2.4 Roads and open spaces
Roads and open spaces consist of compound walls, grills, roads, sidewalks, parking lots, drains,
curbs, landscaped areas, street furniture, tree covers, and flowerbeds.
In line with environment friendly design it is proposed to provide:
Permeable paving- Permeable (porous) paving will be provided to control surface water
runoff by allowing storm water to infiltrate the soil and return to the ground water. The
traffic areas will however continue to be impermeable.
Gravel/crusher fines- Loose aggregate materials from masonry wastes will be used to
cover pedestrian surfaces.
Use of grass pavers on the road, parking and pedestrian areas to reduce the heat island
effect.
Use of steel in fencing, grills, tree covers, and benches and even in streetlights will be
replaced by bamboo in the parks and green landscaped areas.
5.3 NATURAL HAZARD PRONE AREAS
The project is situated in earthquake risk area (Seismic zone- IV). Special attention is thus given
to the structural design of foundation, elements of masonry, timber, plain concrete, reinforced
concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and structural steel. All applicable guidelines was also be
followed in this regard to ensure safety of the building and its occupants.

5.4 ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT
Without compromising on the safety and comfort of the occupants, care was taken to achieve an
energy efficient, water conscious project the benefits of which will be enjoyed in monetary terms
by the employees and other intangible benefits will result for the society at large. This will be
achieved by:
a. Minimal disturbance to landscapes and site condition
The project aims to integrate the new development with the local existing surroundings. Efforts
are made to minimize on-site tree cutting by careful and detailed layout planning. Tree felling
shall be undertaken only after receiving requisite permissions and under strict supervision. The
original landscape of the site has also been integrated with the design of the project such that
there is no alteration the site topography.
b. Resource Conservation and Environmental Friendly Building Materials
To reduce the ecological footprint of the development, use of recycled material for construction
and conserving natural resources is of primary importance. In this light, the use of recyclable
building materials has been proposed for various building materials. It is also proposed to reuse
building components, minimization of construction wastes etc.
The project is also committed towards conservation of water. This includes use of treated
sullage, rainwater harvesting, provision of low water flow fixtures and raising awareness on
means of water conservation. There will be provision of dual plumbing in the office and separate
line for flushing in the office. Treated water will be used for flushing used in the dual plumbing.
Sullage generated will be treated to the tertiary level till it will conform to the standards.
c. Efficient use of Water and Water Recycling
The need for water conservation in the face of impending water crisis cannot be overemphasized.
The project will follow a three pronged management for water resource viz water resource
development, minimize use of water and recycle sullage generated within the site.
Rainwater harvesting across the entire project area is proposed to recharge groundwater. A
detailed storm water drainage system and water harvesting procedures are proposed to achieve
this.
![Page 121: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER”

DISTRICT FARIDABAD, HARYANA EIA/EMP REPORT
M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 110
The water demand is proposed to be brought down by the use of water efficient fixtures,
implement best management practices for horticultural activities. An important means for
achieving this is spreading awareness to the occupants for generating water conservation
awareness.
To reduce the freshwater demand of the project, sullage from site will be treated in a CSTP and
recycled for landscaping, flushing, etc.
d. Use of Energy Efficient design and Eco-Friendly Equipment
The project was designed such that there is optimal solar energy utilization, especially for natural
light availability. Shading was provided on sides that will otherwise reduce the energy
efficiency of the building. Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during the planning,
development, and post construction stages.
Use of Renewable Energy
The electrical supply is largely dependent on thermal power plants that are largely responsible
for accelerating the phenomenon of global warming and consumption of limited natural
resources. It is of paramount importance to shift focus on other renewable sources of energy to
achieve sustainable development in the energy sector. The project area in Faridabd receives
adequate hours and intensity of sunlight for effective solar energy generation. Taking full
cognizance of the availability of natural sunlight and technology, the project proposes the use of
solar energy to reduce the power demand of the project.
Solar energy will be used for the purpose of heating of the water.
e. Indoor Air Quality for Human Safety and Comfort
To provide the occupants with a safe building is the primary responsibility of a developer. Indoor
pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air
quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not
bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying
indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase
![Page 122: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)

concentrations of some pollutants. Likewise, it is proposed to use all user safe building materials
such as:
i. The buildings will be painted with low VOC, ammonia free paints.
ii. Asbestos will not be used.
iii. Adequate ventilation will be provided in floor.
iv. Adequate openings for sunlight to enter the building, thereby reducing chances of
microbial growth.
v. All building maintenance and cleaning materials will be kept in an isolated and well
ventilated room with restricted entry.
f. Effective Controls and Management Systems
It is proposed to establish a Management System that will comprise modern equipment’s as well
as an efficient team of maintenance staff.
i. All essential services such as water supply will be provided with power back up.
ii. A security system for the project will be provided comprising intercom facility, closed
circuit camera to the entrance and round-the-clock manning.
iii. Separate entries and exits of employees from the visitors are proposed. The staff vehicles
will be provided with identification stickers while visitors’ vehicles will be monitored
through security guards at the entrances.
The project further proposes extensive green areas as avenues, parks and roadside plantations.
The plants not only serve various direct environmental facilities, but also have indirect positive
environmental impacts such as reduction in overall energy use in buildings. The balcony garden
is a natural development of the balcony’s role as a link between interior and exterior
environments. Efforts will be made to cover walls with climbers, as feasible.
5.5 COMMUNITY ISSUES
Apart from the site occupants, all efforts will be made to ensure that the exiting neighborhood is
not adversely affected by the project.

5.6 ENERGY CONSERVATION
To achieve conservation of energy, appropriate design of a building is of paramount importance.
Accordingly, it is proposed to incorporate the guidelines of Energy conservation Building Code,
2005 for the building structures.
The concept of passive solar design emphasizes architectural design approaches that minimize
building energy consumption by integrating conventional energy-efficient devices, such as
mechanical and electrical pumps, fans, lighting fixtures, and other equipment, with passive
design elements, such as building sitting, an efficient envelope, appropriate amounts of
fenestration, increased day lighting design, and thermal mass. The basic idea of passive solar
design is to allow daylight, heat, and airflow into a building only when beneficial.
The project layout has been finalized after careful sitting consideration of optimize availability of
natural sunlight. Advanced Solar Passive Techniques are employed to achieve energy efficiency.
Glazed windows are located to receive maximum sunlight in winter. To reduce
heat losses during the night these windows are often double-glazed and have
insulating curtains.
Thermal storage wall is placed between the glazing and habitable space to prevent
solar radiation from directly entering the living space.
Passive cooling systems i.e. cooling directly from evaporation, convection
radiation without using any intermediate electrical devices.
Provisions for use of desert cooler (Indirect evaporative cooling which comprises
water, evaporative pads, a fan and a pump).
Effective measures have been incorporated to minimize the energy consumption in following
manners:
Use of LED lamps instead of GLS lamps for Common area.
Compliance to HAREDA norms.
5.7 TRANSPORTATION
A well planned road network is proposed within the project premises. Adequate parking was
provided during construction phase to ensure that all heavy vehicles visiting the site are
![Page 124: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)

provided parking space within the site. There parking was not access the roads. The movement
of the vehicles were also be scheduled such that the peak hours was avoided.
In the operation phase, entry and exits will be from separate gates to minimize disturbance to the
approach roads to the project site. To avoid congestion of the approach roads, space will be
provided for vehicles waiting checking. Adequate parking is also proposed to ensure there is no
parking along the roads. Within the site, wide roads are proposed. To achieve the same, speed
humps will be provided. Water sprinklers will be applied to reduce the diffusion during loading /
unloading and transportation of construction materials. Green areas of suitable width and species
will be planted to reduce the air & noise pollution generated due to traffic movement. Plant
species will be selected as per the norms.

Important information
The primary purpose of the on- site emergency plan is to control and contain the incident and so
to prevent it from spreading. To cover eventuality in the plan and the successful handling of the
emergency will depend on appropriate action and decision being taken on the spot.
Construction of the buildings was done with following all safety norms. However, it is not
always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and random failures of equipment or
human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with
mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. A detailed
table showing activities during construction and operation phase along with mitigation measures
are given in Table 7.1:

7.2.1.4. Objective of on-site Emergency Plan
Risk analysis and risk assessment should provide details on risk posed to people who
work inside or live near hazardous facilities, and to aid in preparing effective emergency
response plans by delineating a Disaster Management Plan (DMP) to handle on-site and
off-site emergencies. Hence, Risk analysis and risk assessment is an invaluable method
for making informed risk-specific for any plant is complex and needs extensive study
that involves process understanding, hazard identification, consequences probability
data, vulnerability models/data, local weather and terrain conditions and local
population data. Risk analysis and risk assessment will be carried out to serve the
following objectives:
Identification of safety areas
Identification of hazard sources
Generation of accidental release scenarios for escape of hazardous materials from the
facility
Identification of vulnerable units with recourse to hazard indices
Assessment of risk on the basis of above evaluation against the risk acceptability criteria
relevant to the situation
Suggest risk mitigation measures based on engineering judgment, reliability and risk
analysis approaches
Delineation/upgradation of DMP
Safety reports: with external safety report/occupational safety report
The risk assessment report may cover the following in terms of the extent of damage with
analysis and delineation of risk mitigations measures with an approach to DMP.
Hazard Identification- identification of hazardous activities, hazardous materials, past
accident records, etc.

7.2.1 Emergency
A major emergency in any situation is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or
loss of life, which may cause extensive damage to the structure in vicinity and environment and
could result in serious disruption to normal operation both inside and outside the industry
premises. Depending on the magnitude the emergency, service of the outside agencies may also
be damage.
The management has to take effective steps to assess, minimize and wherever feasible eliminate
the risk to large extent. Accident may still occur and it is necessary to be fully prepared to tackle
all such emergencies if and when they occur.
It is likely that the consequences of such emergencies will be confined to the units concerned or
may affect outside. If the consequences are confined within the plant boundary, it will be
controlled by Chief Emergency Controller. The most widely used techniques in practice will
based on experience accumulated over many year and safety audits.
7.2.1 STORAGE & HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
Both the hazardous & non hazardous material generated within the Project Site, shall be
temporarily accommodated in necessary units placed within the premises in line with the
Safety, Health and Environmental standards.
The size of these temporary units will depend on the quantity and the type of Hazardous waste
materials like asbestos, PCB, oils, fuels etc. with appropriate storage capacities are placed in the
Estate following Hazardous Waste Management and Handling Rules (2016). Also, if gas
cylinders will be stored in the project premises, the Gas Cylinders Rules under explosives Act
![Page 137: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)

will be followed. Later, these materials will be disposed off at a centralized disposal facility
with utmost care following safety norms.
7.2.2 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION: Hazard is the characteristic of any system or process
which has the potential for accident
The typical methods for hazard identification employed are:
Identification of major hazardous units based on Manufacture, Storage and Import of
Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 of Government of India (amended in 2000)
Identification of hazardous wastes based on Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling
and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008, as its amendments.
Hazardous substances may be classified into three main classes.
7.2.3 HAZARD ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION: A preliminary hazard analysis shall be
carried out to identify the major hazards associated with storages in the facility. This is followed
by consequence analysis to quantify these hazards. Following are the vulnerable zones of
accident:
Frequent causes of accidents:
Fire and explosion: explosives, flammable materials
Being struck by falling objects
Caught in or compressed
Snapping of cables, ropes, chains, slings
Handling heavy objects
Electricity
Poor illumination
Falls from height
Struck by moving objects
Slipping on wet surfaces
Sharp objects
Oxygen deficiency in confined spaces
Hazardous substances and wastes:
Heavy and toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, etc.)
![Page 138: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)

Organometallic substances (tributyltin, etc.)
Lack of hazard communication (storage, labelling, material safety data sheets)
Batteries, fire-fighting liquids
PCBs and PVC
Welding fumes
Volatile organic compounds (solvents)
Inhalation in confined and enclosed spaces
Physical hazards:
Noise
Extreme temperatures
Vibration
Radiation (UV, radioactive materials)
7.2.4 Hazard Seasonality Map
Catastrophe like floods, cold wave, drought, hailstorms etc. are climatic hazards and therefore
have seasonal probability of occurrence. Mishaps like fires and chemical accidents can occur
any season. Similarly, occurrence of earthquake is highly unpredictable and can occur in any
season of the year, so its probability is throughout the year.
Hazards like road accidents and rail accidents have high probability in the months of December
and January as during these months there is dense fog all over the district may result into
accidents. Similarly, hazardous chemicals transporting also have similar risk. The above
mentioned list of hazards in Faridabad, show a pattern depending upon the probability and
severity of occurrence during various months of the year. The following table shows
probability and seasonality of hazards.
7.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A disaster is a catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged into helplessness
and suffering and, as a result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and
other necessities of life. The Disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life,
protection of Environment, protection of installation, restoration of production and salvage
operations in this same order of priorities. For effective implementation of the Disaster

Management Plan, it should be widely circulated and a personnel training is to be provided
through rehearsals/drills. To tackle the consequences of a major emergency inside the plant or
immediate vicinity of the plant, a Disaster Management Plan has to be formulated and this
planned emergency document is called Disaster Management Plan.
The objective of the Disaster Management Plan is to make use of the combined resources of the
plant and the outside services to achieve the following:
Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
Safeguard other people;
Minimize damage to property and the environment;
Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;
Identify any dead;
Provide for the needs of relatives;
Provide authoritative information to the news media;
Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected area;
Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent inquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the Emergency.
In effect, it is to optimize operational efficiency to rescue rehabilitation and render medical
help and to restore normalcy.
Disaster Management Plan should include Emergency Preparedness Plan, Emergency
Response Team, Emergency Communication, Emergency Responsibilities, Emergency
Facilities and Emergency Actions
7.4 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (ERP)
The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use of the
combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:
1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it;
2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;
3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
4. Safeguard other people;
5. Evacuate people to safe areas;
6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities;
7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency;
9. Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence
The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards can arise and
the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The plan
takes into account the maximum credible loss scenario - actions that can successfully
mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require
less effort and resources to control and terminate emergencies.
Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fires in buildings and
fire in diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage and an ERP pertaining to these is
described in the following section.
7.5 RESPONSE IN CASE OF EARTHQUAKE
7.5.1 Response Procedures for Occupants
If indoors:
1. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.
2. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to
try to leave the building because objects can fall on you.
If outdoors:
Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the
open, stay there until the shaking stops.
If in a moving vehicle:
Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees,
overpasses, or utility wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid
bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.
After the quake
1. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.
2. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may
bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks,
or even months after the quake.

7.8 RESOURCE CONSERVATION
The project will lead to utilization of various natural resources. As an environmentally
responsible corporate, the developers endeavor to conserve these resources by judicious
management and recycling and strive to build up these resources where possible.
Water Resources: The project had water from Private Water tanker during the construction
phase & from HUDA during operation phase of the project. The national water scenario, where
availability if fresh water is fast dwindling, judicious use of the same cannot be over
emphasized. Following means are proposed to be adopted for conservation of this life
sustaining resource:
Reduced use of water: To further minimize the use of available freshwater, various low flow
fixtures may be provided such as Low flow flushing systems, sensor based fixtures, waterless
urinals, tap aerators. Awareness will also be spread amongst the employees and employees on
the following lines:
Timely detection and repair of all leakages;
Avoiding use of running water while hand-washing;
Watering of lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day (early morning or
late evening, hours) when temperature and wind speed are lowest. This reduces
losses due to evaporation.
Planting of native and/or drought tolerant grasses, ground covers, shrubs and
trees. Once fully grown, they need not to be watered frequently.
Setting sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only, not the street or sidewalk;
Avoiding installation or use of ornamental water features unless they recycle the
water and avoiding running them during drought or hot weather;
Installation of high-pressure, low-volume nozzles on spray washers;
![Page 146: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)

Replacement of high-volume hoses with high-pressure, low-volume cleaning
systems;
Equipping spring loaded shutoff nozzles on hoses.
Treatment and Recycling: The wastewater generated from the site will be treated in an on-site
Common Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP). This will enable the treated wastewater to be used
for flushing, landscaping, DG cooling etc, thereby reducing the requirement of freshwater for
these purpose.
Rainwater harvesting: It is proposed that rain water from the project will be collected and
conveyed to RWH pits though storm water drainage channel.
Construction material: The project has used various kinds of natural minerals such as sand,
gravel etc. It is proposed to do prior estimation of required quantities of these materials and
procurement only as per requirement. This will also result in cost-efficiency. Excavated soil
from the project site will be used within the site to the extent feasible. Excess soil will be made
available to the nearby construction sites and surplus, if any, will be disposed through local
vendors.
Energy: To conserve the energy resources, good practices will be followed such as turning off
lights and equipments when not in use, ensuring fuel efficiency of motors and vehicles through
proper maintenance and minimal work at night, efficient lighting system.
7.9 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Incidents, accidents and contingency preparedness should be accounted during ship recycling
process. This will be a part of EMS. According to these guidelines, an environmental
emergency plan would essentially provide the following information:
Assignment of the duties and responsibilities among the authorities, participating
Agencies, the response team and coordinators and/or those responsible for the
pollution incident;
Relationship with other emergency plans;
A reporting system that ensures rapid notification in the event of a pollution incident;
The establishment of a focal point for co-ordination and directions connected to the
implementation of the plan;

Response operations; should always cover these four phases:
– Discovery and alarm
– Evaluation, notification and plan invocation
– Containment and countermeasures
– Cleanup and disposal
Identification of expertise and response resources available for assistance for the
implementation of the plan;
Directions on the necessary emergency provisions applicable to the handling,
treatment or disposal of certain pollutants;
Link to the local community for assistance, if necessary;
Support measures, such as procedures for providing public information, carrying out
surveillance, issuing post incident reports, review and updating of the plan, and
periodic exercising of the plan.
Emergency response:-
Various activities within the project site are always subjected to accidents and incidents
of many kind. Therefore, a survey of potential incidents and accidents is to be carried out.
Based on this, a plan for response to incidents, injuries and emergencies should be
prepared. Response to emergencies should ensure that:
The exposure of workers should be limited as much as possible during the
operation
Contaminated areas should be cleaned and if necessary disinfected
Limited impact on the environment at the extent possible.
Written procedures for different types of emergencies should be prepared and the entire
workforce should be trained in emergency response. All relevant emergency response
equipment should also be readily available. With regard to dangerous spills, associated
clean-up and fire-fighting operations should be carried out by specially allocated and
trained personnel.

A good EIA practice requires technical understanding of relevant issues and measures that work
in such given circumstances. The priority of selection of mitigation measures should be in the
order:
Step One: Impact avoidance:
This step is most effective when applied at an early stage of project planning. It can be
achieved by:
not undertaking certain projects or elements that could result in adverse impacts
avoiding areas that are environmentally sensitive; and
Step Two: Impact minimization
This step is usually taken during impact identification and prediction to limit or reduce the
degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts. It can be achieved by:
scaling down or relocating the proposal
redesigning elements of the project
taking supplementary measures to manage the impacts
Step Three: Impact compensation:
This step is usually applied to remedy unavoidable residual adverse impacts. It can be
achieved by:
rehabilitation of the affected site or environment,
replacement of the same resource values at another location. For example, by wetland
engineering to provide an equivalent area to that lost to drainage or infill.
Table 7.4: Typical Mitigation Measures
Impacts Typical Mitigation Measures
Soil Windscreens, maintenance, and installation of
ground cover.
Installation of drainage ditches.
Minimize disturbances and scarification of the

7.11 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT, RESETTLEMENT AND
REHABILITATION
INTRODUCTION
Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) refers to the systematic analysis of various social
and economic characteristics of the human beings living in the geographical area/study area
around the project location. SEIA is carried out separately but concurrently with Environment
Impact Assessment (EIA). The study area consists of core and buffer area around the project
site. The SEIA focuses on the likely effects of the project on social and economic well-being of
the community. The impact(s) may be direct or indirect, positive or negative.
OBJECTIVES OF SEIA
The prime objective of the current study is to assess the likely impact of the project on socio-
economic characteristics of people living in the study area. Further, it is to be established
whether the impact would be direct or indirect. Furthermore, it is to be examined whether the
said impact would be positive or negative. Lastly, it is to be comprehended if the impact is
positive how long it would sustain or if it is negative how soon the same could be eased.
SCOPE
The Scope of the study is as follows:
a) To collect baseline data of the study area
b) To comprehend socio-economic status of the people living in the study area.
c) To assess the probable impact of the project on social and economic aspects in the study
area.
d) To evaluate the likely impact of the project on Quality of Life of the people living in the
study area.
e) To ensure sustainability of the positive impact.

METHODOLOGY
For Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of the project, GRC India carries out systematic
analysis of the various socio-economic characteristics, both in terms of quality and quantity.
Accordingly, both qualitative and quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The
secondary data was collected from the published data/information of the Census Authority.
Records of the state and district administration were also referred to.
For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study area. In each selected
habitation, a specified number of representative households were selected scientifically for
collection of information through face to face interview with head of the household or any
responsible member of the family.
Census-cum Sample Survey in the Core Area
As the likely project impact(s) will traverse a domino alley with greatest impacts in the core area
which diminish progressively when moving away from the core to the buffer of the study area,
a Census-cum-Sample Survey was conducted in the core and buffer area for the collection of
socio-economic data. Further, in each village a household survey was conducted by drawing
representative samples from a list of households prepared. Since, collection of information from
all the households in a village is time consuming and expensive, the sample survey approach
was adopted for collection of information from the selected households.
Sample Survey in the Core & Buffer Area
In the core & buffer areas of the project, the following structured framework was followed for
the collection of information.
Sample Design & Size
Two-Stage Sampling Design was adopted in the study area. The First Stage Units were Census
villages and the Ultimate Stage Units were households in the selected villages.
The sample size at each level (village and household) was decided by using the formula = √
{(1.96 *σ)/Δ}; where = Sample size, 1.96 is the Table Value of Confidence Limit, σ =
Standard Deviation and Δ = Degree of Precision.

Selection of First Stage Units (Villages/Towns)
In the study area the sample villages were selected from the list of Census villages/towns by
adopting the method of Probability Proportional to Size (PPS), the size being number of households
in a given village/town.
Selection of Ultimate Stage Units (Households)
The sample households were selected from the list of households by adopting the method of Circular
Systematic Sampling. This method was adopted since the sampling frame i.e. the complete list of
households was readily available.
SURVEY INSTRUMENTS
The following Schedules/Questionnaires were developed for collection of data – primary from the
households and secondary for the villages:
Schedule/format for Village/Town Particulars
Questionnaire for Household Details and project perception
Each of these data/information instruments has segment blocks and there are both open-ended and
closed-ended questions.

For composite Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of projects, GRC India carries out systematic
analysis of the various socio-economic characteristics, both in terms of quality and quantity.
Accordingly, both qualitative and quantitative data was collected from secondary sources. The
secondary data was collected from the published data/information of the Census Authority. Records of
the state and district administration were also referred to.
For collection of primary data, a sample survey was conducted in the study area which spans a radius
of 10 km from the periphery of the boundary of the project site. In each selected habitation, a specified
number of representative households were selected for collection of information through face to face
interviews with head of the household or any responsible member of the family.
Census-cum-Sample Survey
To assess the likely impacts of the project, a Census-cum-Sample Survey was conducted for the
collection of socio-economic data. It is treated as a census survey because all habitations located in
the area were considered for the collection of information. Further, in each habitation a household
survey was conducted by drawing representative sample of households. Since, collection of
information from all the households in a habitation is time consuming and expensive, the sample
survey approach was adopted for collection of information from the selected households in the
village(s)/town(s).
Sample Design
Two-Stage Sampling Design was adopted in the study area. The First Stage Units were Census
village(s)/town(s) and the Ultimate Stage Units were households in the selected village(s)/town(s).
METHOD OF SELECTION OF FIRST STAGE UNITS
Probability Proportional to size without replacement and vicinity to the project site was taken into
consideration while selecting the habitations from the list of Census village(s)/town(s).
Method of selection of Ultimate Stage Units
The ultimate stage sampling unit is households. The households for survey are selected by simple
random sampling technique.
Sample Size
While deciding the sample size the following factors were taken into account: Confidence Level
(95%, Table value: 1.96); Degree of precision (Δ): 0.5; Variation in population/ Standard Deviation

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
Impact on Demographic Composition
The proposed project will make some change in the demographic composition of the study area as the
estimated additional population of 10,185 including staffs and visitors will increase after the
completion of the project. Whereas the work force recruited during the construction and operation
phase will be met locally to the maximum extent. Local laborers from nearby area will be employed
during the construction phase. In the operation phase, most of the expected occupants will be from the
surrounding areas. Hence, the project will lead to a redistribution of occupants within the city. Thus,
no significant influx of people is envisaged.
Employment Opportunities
Local labourers will be hired from nearby areas during construction phase. It is a positive impact of
the project since it will provide employment opportunities to the local people. Similarly, in the
operation phase of the project, opportunities for employment will arise from the expected business,
trading etc. activities for the local people of the area.
Impetus to Trade & Business in Construction Materials
The proposed project will give much impetus to trade and business on construction materials in the
nearest market to the project area. It is expected that trading and business will flourish of various
![Page 165: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)

construction materials namely coarse sand, fine sand, stone aggregate, cement, reinforcement steel,
pipes, bricks, conduit pipes, glaze & floor tiles, hardware, stainless steel sinks, etc.
Impetus to Infrastructure Development
The project will pave the way for various infrastructure developments that includes roads, parks, play
grounds etc. This is a positive impact which will create further employment opportunities for the local
people.
Impact on Agriculture
There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking place on the proposed area.
The area is likely to be free from annual floods, which destroy standing crops land and property.
Impact on Traffic Movement
The site has good connectivity. Only internal roads, paths will be developed for vehicular movements
for transportation of construction material during construction phase whereas internal tracks and paths
will be developed for traffic circulation during operational phase. Since the site is adjacent to Rajesh
Pilot Road, which has low traffic density, there will be no need for diversion or closure of existing
traffic routes. During the construction phase, about 15-20 trucks are estimated per week. Adequate
parking space within the project site for loading and unloading of materials will be provided.
Adequate parking space (2,466 ECS) will be provided for operational phase within the project
premises.
Impact on Law & Order
As most of the workers to be employed in the proposed project are local residents so no law and order
problem is envisaged. It is expected that the workers will attend to their duties from their residence
and return to their homes after the day’s work. However, to meet any untoward incident one police
post may be set up close to the project site.
Impact on Health
There are no chances of any major diseases due to the construction work. Suitable drainage and waste
management measures (with frequent spray of insecticides etc.) will be adopted in both the
![Page 166: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/166.jpg)

construction and operational phase such that there will be no stagnation of water or accumulation of
waste. This will effectively restrict the reproduction and growth of disease vectors.
However, to meet any emergency situation few safety measures are outlined below:
a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure health and safety of all the
employees at work. All efforts will be made to provide and maintain a safe working environment
and ensure that the machinery and equipment in use is safe for employees. Further, it will be
ensured that working arrangements are not hazardous to employees.
B) Provision of first aid: In case of any accidents arising out of the proposed construction works,
timely and prompt first aid treatment is the most important aspect. Suitable first aid arrangements
shall be made at the site for rendering immediate first aid in case of any injury. The first-aiders will
be well trained in handling patients working in the project.
C) Regular Medical Examination: For all the construction workers, medical examination will be made
on regular basis.
D) Health education: Adequate health education and information related to the work will be provided
to the workers so that their health and safety can be ensured.
E) Tie-up with the nearest hospital for medical assistance: to meet the medical needs of the
construction workers in case of accidents, tie-up with nearest hospitals will be made. Efforts will
be made to reserve a few beds in the said hospitals for the workers to meet any emergency. This
will ensure timely medical aid to the affected persons.
F) Supply of mask and gloves: the workers exposed to dust will be provided with dust masks to
prevent them from getting affected by respiratory diseases. Gloves will be provided to workers
working with hand tools, to ensure their safety. Small quantities of fugitive emissions are
envisaged during transport and handling of construction materials. Such emissions will be
temporary and controlled by the use of water sprinkling and other viable techniques like covering
of loose material with tarpaulin.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to responsibility of a company to ensure positive impact
on environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of public
sphere. CSR is a way of conducting business by which the corporate entities visibly contribute to the
![Page 167: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)

social good. The CSR activities are increasingly being taken up by the project proponents not only as
fulfilling of mandatory provisions but also for the formation or enhancement of brand image. Besides
the above, CSR is seen more as a responsibility towards society rather than a business promotional
activity. It is the need of the day for expansion of occupational welfare. It is expected that this will
improve the socio-economic status of the people and at the same time the popularity of the project
proponent will enhance. The activities to be undertaken for the local people under CSR have been
identified (Rs. 200 Lakhs). For the local community in the study area the project proponent should
take-up the following development initiatives for the betterment of the local people:
1. Skill Development and Women Empowerment
Skill development programme for students and unemployed on employability.
Providing training to the women for improving employability skills and enhancing their
self-dependency.
2. Infrastructure development
Renovation of government schools in the study area.
Sanitation facilities including construction of girl’s toilet in schools.
3. Improvement of Health Status
Health Checkups and medical camps.
Heath awareness workshops/programmes.
3. WORKSHOPS ON ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS / MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
The activities to be undertaken for the local people under CSR have been identified (Rs. 200 Lakhs)
CONCLUSION
The socio-economic standard of people living in the study area will improve due to the creation of
employment opportunities. This will lead to better quality of life and will also set a standard for future
development in the study area.
There will be a positive impact on the socio-economic condition of the study area due to increased
economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities, infrastructural development and better
educational and health facilities.
With the development of the project, associated business activities will increase in the area. The
overall impact of the project is expected to be positive for the local population.

CHAPTER-8
PROJECT BENEFITS
8.1 GENERAL
The project is Located at Village- Sarai Anangpur, District-Faridabad, Haryana . The proposed
development is a Commercial Project and the license for development has been granted by
DTCP, Haryana.
The proposed project site is strategically located within the National Capital Region (NCR) of
New Delhi, in the State of Haryana. The site falls in the Faridabad district of State Haryana,
which is one of the fastest growing Commercial destinations in India. The nearest Railway
Station is Tughalkabad Railway Station (1.79 km, NNE) away from the project site. The nearest
airport is Indira Gandhi International Airport, at 21.51 km, NW from the project site.
8.2 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Despite the common notion about southern dominance in IT, the National Capital Region
(NCR) has emerged next only to Bangalore as the IT hub of the nation. NCR alone
accounts for over 35% of the total FDI inflows into India (Source:CII).
NCR share is estimated to be around 20 Million sq ft (of new built up area), given the
projection estimate of 2 million jobs moving to India (10% within the NCR) in the next
five years.
A large number of Fortune 100 companies are now exploring ITES/ BPO from India.
Within the ITES market, opportunity areas that emerged during 2002 were engineering
design, biotech research, research outsourcing, customer analytics, market research, equity
research. At least nine cities witnessed high ITES/ BPO business penetration, with NCR
drawing the largest number of players.
Areas around Delhi are the fore-runners in this success story. Gurgaon has come a long
way, from being a satellite township of Delhi to being the hub for commercial, Design
companies, and MNCs dealing in software and IT services. Gurgaon is fast emerging as a
call center hub, with several large companies..

8.3 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Achieving land potential in a rational and judicious manner is one of the prime objectives of
this commercial development. This will be done by minimizing the impact on
environmental resources, enhancing the infrastructure quality to allow uninhibited freedom
for human resource development and provide gainful economic opportunities for
employment. Urban environment on sustainable lines will be developed, by harnessing the
existing environmental resources, adopting state of the art technologies to minimize waste
generation (through recycling) and dependency on motorized modes of transportation.
This part of the district of Gurgaon is slowly experiencing new and an upgraded emerging
trend in terms of improvement in infrastructure, new roads development etc. with a real
urgency of new area development. As the area will achieve good connectivity through the
sector level road development by HUDA and through the existing southern peripheral road
and Golf link road, hence these factors are likely to attract the commercial based sectors to
come up to set their office. The proposed project will lead to following benefits.
Improvement in social infrastructure by providing additional employment opportunities
to the skilled as well as unskilled people;
Trigger growth in the district and in the region as the area will be developed and will
result in associated development;
The planned development with modern infrastructure facilities and source of income
would improve quality of life of local community.
8.4 HEALTH & SAFETY
The project will entail positive impact on local economy.
The construction phase of the project will engage a large number of construction workers. The
workers will be provided with drinking water, sheds for resting, medical aid, crèche, etc. as per
norms.

CHAPTER 9
ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Proper evaluation of the environmental impacts requires a number of conceptual issues to be
carefully considered. These include the correct understanding of the environmental cost, choice
of evaluation technique, setting the time horizon, assessing distributional impacts and inter-
temporal issues and evaluating risks. Environmental externalities costs from a productive or
consumptive process can be identified as the cost resulting from the provision of a resource,
which can be passed on to a third party. These costs are not incorporated into the price of the
productive or consumptive resource, and can cause damage to human health, human life,
materials and ecosystems. Environmental externality costs can occur despite complying with all
national rules and regulations. Therefore, meeting environmental standards does not mean that
there is no unaccounted environmental cost. The cost of compliance is likely to be included as
part of the base cost- hence is treated as a financial cost.
At this early stage of the project, it will not be possible to give exact benefited amount. However
government designated this place for Commercial project after considering many aspects
including environment cost benefit too. However, in case of an environment it will be very
difficult to give proper cost evaluation. Thus from environment point of view, components that
might be evaluated in terms of cost will be:-
Socio Economic
Human health
Air
Land
Water
Out of the five components that have been mentioned, human health is the most important,
however it is the hardest to quantify. This value is also controversial as it is often confused with
values of human life, not risks to human life. Valuation of human life is controversial because for
some, it is unethical. During this study, it has been noted that the valuation of human life is
![Page 171: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/171.jpg)

different from the value of human health risks, and the latter should be estimated. Human health
is directly related with our environment i.e. surroundings in which we live. Surrounding includes
everything, air, water & land etc. Pollution of air, water and land directly and indirectly causes
health issues. Example contamination of ground water, surface water causes many issues and in
the situation when we have nonrenewable resources, it will more important to prevent excess use
and contamination of these resources.
As all the storm water will be collected through RWH pits it will reduce the loss due to
evaporation and hopefully help to sustain the water in for greater duration of time, this even
recharges ground water in natural way.
Green belt development in the area increases the aesthetic value of the area, along with this help
to attenuate noise and reduce pollution.
Socioeconomic conditions of the area will improve due to direct and indirect employment
opportunities in the chain.
9.2 CONCLUSION
Taking the above mentioned points into consideration, it can be concluded that the socio-
economic and environmental impact of the project would be beneficial/neutral.

CHAPTER-10
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure that the environmental quality of the
zone under impact does not deteriorate beyond the expected level due to the construction and
operation of the project. The EMP comprises a set of measures to be taken in different phases of the
project such as construction and operation to reduce adverse environmental impacts to an acceptable
level. Mitigation plans generally evolve around remediation and offsetting.
Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest the mitigation measures which would
play a vital role in prevention of environmental degradation during construction and operational phase
of the Commercial Project. This leads to preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Environmental Management Plan therefore forms an imperative part of EIA process.
Preparation of Environmental Management Plan is required for formulation, implementation and
monitoring of Environmental protection measures during and after commissioning of projects. The
Environmental Management plan is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is
implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner where all contractors and subcontractors,
including consultants if any, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the project and
take appropriate actions to minimize those risks. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is
carried out in accordance with the planned design and by taking appropriate mitigation actions to
reduce adverse environmental impacts during project’s life cycle.
The aims of EMP are:
Overall conservation of environment.
Minimization of waste generation and pollution.
Judicious use of natural resources and water.
Safety, welfare and good health of the work force.
Ensure effective operation of all control measures.
![Page 173: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 162
Vigilance against probable disasters and accidents.
Monitoring of cumulative and long time impacts.
Ensure effective operation of all control measures.
The project will create certain inevitable impacts, during construction and operational phase, although
within permissible limits as mentioned in Chapter 4 and can be reduced significantly with the help of
effective implementation of a well-designed EMP. The parameters which need to be regulated are
mentioned below:
Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants from
operation of DG sets during power failure and vehicular movement;
Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment as well as vehicular
movement;
Water resource management to ensure continuous water supply.
Wastewater generation from industries, sanitary/domestic activities; and
Generation of solid wastes from Offices, maintenance of roads, parks, common areas
including constructional, electrical and plumbing wastes.
Energy conservation methods
Maintenance of Building Management Systems and emergency aids.
To ensure better environment in & around the project site, effective EMP is developed separately for
construction and operational phase.
10.1.1 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PROPOSED PROJECT
The project proponent to manage the key environmental issues associated with the construction and
operation of the project will initiate the Environment Management Plan for the project activities
envisage to outlines the key environmental management and safeguards that. The major concerns for
the EMP of the proposed project activities would be:
![Page 174: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)

Delineation of mitigation and compensation measures for all the identified significant impacts.
Delineation of unmitigated impacts
Physical planning including work programme, time schedule and locations for putting
mitigation and compensation system in place.
EMP is the process to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into the project scope.
These are tools for mitigating or offsetting the potential adverse environmental impacts resulting from
various activities of the project. The EMP would, therefore, consists of following main components:
To integrate potential impacts (positive or negative), environmental mitigation measures
implementation schedule, and monitoring plans.
To describe the potential environmental impacts and proposed management associated with
each stage of the project development.
To control environmental impacts to levels within acceptable standards, and to minimize
possible impact on the community and the workforce of foreseeable risks during the
construction and subsequent operational phases of the project.
To highlight that the environmental mitigation measures will be used in consonance with good
management practices and good engineering design, construction and operation practices.
The EMP would, hence, be a working document that concerned stakeholders need to both understand
environmental concerns and to address associated issues to facilitate environmental management.
10.2 EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT
To minimize the pollutant concentration levels, mitigation measures primarily to minimize the use of
private vehicles would be implemented for further emission reduction as presented in this section. It is,
therefore, assumed that if these measures were implemented, the concentrations of all pollutants as
presented above will be much lower in value and would contribute very less impact on the project site
and at the receptor locations as well.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
10.2.1 Site Preparation
![Page 175: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)

Environmental impacts during construction phase was mainly arised due to civil works such as
site preparation, RCC foundation, construction etc., material and machinery transportation,
fabrication and erection etc. The construction phase impacts are temporary and localized
phenomena except the permanent change in local landscape and land use pattern at the project
site. However, they require due consideration with importance during project execution and also
wherever applicable detailed procedures shall be implemented to prevent/mitigate adverse
impacts and occupational hazards.
To mitigate the impact of dust during the construction phase of the proposed project, the following
measures are recommended for implementation:
A dust control plan; and
Procedural changes to construction activities.
10.2.1.1 Dust Control Plan
Appropriate measures have been recommended and were implemented to mitigate the adverse
impacts of dust on health of construction workers and the settlements around the site. The
following measures have been recommended:
Paving: The major access roads to the site was paved as a part of the overall
development plan. The material storage areas will also be paved for dust control.
Graveling: Locally found gravel were applied to the other access roads to serve as a
protective layer over the exposed soil.
Water Sprinkling: Water sprinkling was carried out for the surfaces exposed to high
wind speeds or heavy vehicular movement.
Reducing Vehicle Speed: High vehicle speeds increase the amount of fugitive dust
created from unpaved areas. Speed bumps will be provided to ensure speed reduction
on unpaved areas.
Material Storage: All material storage areas were adequately covered and contained so
that they are not exposed to high wind speeds on site leading to dust/particulate
emissions. Fabrics and plastics will be used for covering soils and debris to reduce
![Page 176: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)

fugitive dust emissions.
10.2.1.2 Procedural Changes to Construction Activities
Production and Transportation of Material - The transport of materials such as concrete and
asphalt to the construction sites generate significant amount of road dust, especially for sites that
are relatively far from material manufacturers. Setting up temporary portable concrete plants
and/or asphalt plants at construction sites can eliminate haulage of materials.
Idling Time Reduction - Construction equipment is commonly left idling while the operators are
on break or waiting for the completion of another task. Emissions from idling equipment tend to
be high, since catalytic converters cool down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and
carbon monoxide oxidation. Existing idling control technologies, which automatically shut the
engine off after a preset time can reduce emissions, without intervention from the operators.
Improved Maintenance - Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved
through regular equipment maintenance, contractors were asked to provide maintenance records
for their fleet as part of the contract bid and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract.
To mitigate the impacts of DG set operation it will ensure that the DG set would have sufficient
stack height to disperse the pollutants.
10.2.1.1 Noise Environment
To mitigate the impact of noise from the construction equipment’s on site, the following measures
are recommended for implementation:
Time of Operation: Minimum construction activities were scheduled during night time.
Material transport was strictly limited to daytime hours to ensure minimum incremental noise
during night hours.
Job Rotation: Workers employed in high noise areas were engaged in shifts to minimize exposure.
Protective Equipment’s: Earplugs/muffs or other hearing protective wear was provided to
those working very close to the noise generating machinery.
Vibration Control: For vibration control, damped tools were used and the working hours
were limited.
![Page 177: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 166
To mitigate the impacts of noise generation due to DG sets, it will be ensured that DG set is
enclosed in acoustic enclosure and has adequate stack height so as to disperse the emissions.
10.2.1.1 Construction Material Management
The major construction material was used for construction includes bricks, coarse aggregates,
cement, coarse sand, reinforcement steel, structural steel, aluminium doors & windows, granite
and vitrified tiles for flooring and other water supply & sanitary fittings. The material was
loaded and unloaded by the engaged labour on site. The duties of the contractor will include
monitoring all aspects of construction activities, commencing with the storing, loading of
construction materials and equipment in order to maintain the quality.
The work should be completed as per the final construction schedule. Bricks were stacked
neatly at designated place of storage yard. Cement should be stored in stacks. Other material
like aggregate, reinforcement and consumables should also be tidily stored in place and was
released for use without causing litter around.
The contractor shall be responsible for management of such construction material during entire
construction period of the project. Sufficient quantity of materials should be available before
starting the each activity.
The contractor should test the all the materials in the Government labs or Government
approved labs in order to ensure the quality of materials before construction. This is also the
responsibility of the contractor, which would be clearly mentioned in the contractor’s
agreement.
As soon as the construction activity is over the surplus earth shall be utilized to fill up the low-
lying areas, if any. All stationary machines shall be inspected weekly for maintenance and will be
fitted with exhaust pollution control devices.
OPERATION PHASE
To mitigate the impact of pollutants from vehicular traffic during the operational phase of the
site; the following measures are recommended for implementation:
![Page 178: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)

the site to encourage non-polluting methods of transportation.
Greenbelt Development:
Increasing vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air
pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants, act as a barrier to break the wind speed as well
as allow the dust and other particulates to settle out there. It also helps to reduce the noise level
to some extent. Hence, the project will be so developed that approximately 30 % (10,003.812
Sq. m) of the proposed planned area is designated for exclusive green area/landscaping. The
trees for green belt development that are proposed to be grown as barrier to Air pollution are
given in Table 10.1.

Smooth flow of traffic should be ensured on the internal road to avoid idling and honking of
vehicles.
Ambient Noise level monitoring was conducted at suitable locations at periodic intervals
during construction phase to conform to the stipulated standards both during day and night
time. Data were reviewed and analysed by the project manager for adhering to any strict
measure.
Noise levels were also monitored at point sources for occupational noise exposure and
ensuring health risk.
10.3.2 Operation Phase
To mitigate the impact of noise due to vehicular movement during the operational and proper
traffic management is also proposed to be implemented.
10.4 EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT
10.4.1 Construction Phase
To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water source, adequate control measures
had been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any
water body. Following management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during the
construction phase. - Avoid excavation during monsoon season.
- Care should be taken to avoid soil erosion.
- Pit latrines and community toilets with temporary septic tanks were constructed on the site
during construction phase to prevent wastewater from entering the water bodies.
- To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers
should be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling
area should be kept effectively impervious. Any wash off from the oil/grease handling area
or workshop shall be drained through impervious drains, Clarifiers or oil/water separators
shall be constructed and effluent should be treated appropriately before releasing it.
![Page 181: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/181.jpg)

- Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, fertilizer, oils and other wastes.
On-site collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash downs, and
prevention of soil loss and toxic releases from the construction site are necessary to minimize water
pollution.
- All stacking and loading areas was provided with proper garland drains equipped with baffles to
prevent run off from the site to enter any water body.
OPERATION PHASE
In the operation phase of the project, water conservation and development measures need to be
taken including all possible potential for conservation of water, reuse, harvesting and recycling of
water. These could be in the form of the following:
- Water source Development
- Minimizing water consumption
- Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed loop systems for different
water streams.
10.4.2 Water Source Development
Water source development shall be practiced by installation of scientifically design Rainwater
harvesting system as described in Chapter 2.
10.4.2.1 Rainwater Harvesting Design
Rainwater harvesting promotes self-sufficiency and fosters an appreciation for water as a
resource. It is proposed to have recharge structures at 9 locations within the proposed project site.
In order to calculate the potential for Artificial Recharge, rainfall intensity of 45 mm per hour has
been considered for Faridabad. The run-off coefficient parameters considered for calculation of
the run-off are given in Table 10.3.
Table 10.3 Run-Off Coefficient Parameters

2. Landscape Area 0.2
However, for the purpose of design of recharge structure, the higher value of runoff coefficient is
being considered in view of unpredictable nature of rainfall for arriving at total storage volumes.
Rain water Harvesting Plan is attached as Annexure-IX
In the project design, it was ensured that no mixing of the storm water with waste effluent takes
place. All the storm water will be diverted to rain water-harvesting pits proposed in the project.
Minimizing Water Consumption
Water consumption will be minimized by a combination of water saving devices such as
implementing fixtures that are low flow and water efficient models together with other water
conservation measures. Furthermore, to ensure ongoing water conservation, an employee
education and awareness programme will be introduced for the employees of the proposed
project. Following section discusses the specific measures, which shall be implemented;
DOMESTIC USAGE
- Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (low flow toilets and urinals). Water efficient
plumbing fixtures use less water with no marked reduction in quality and service.
- Leak detection and repair techniques.
- Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down for external areas;
- Meter water usage, employ measurement & verification methods. Monitoring water use is a
precursor for management.
- Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and technologies that can be
used for water conservation.
HORTICULTURE

- Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones to match
precipitation heads and emitters.
- Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.
- Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors to account for
seasonal variations, and calibrate them during commissioning.
- Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and fertilizer sparingly also
reduces watering needs.
- Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.
10.4.4 Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment
To promote reuse and development of closed loop system for water, segregation of two
schemes are proposed namely:
(i) Wastewater Treatment scheme
(ii) Storm water management scheme
WASTEWATER TREATMENT SCHEME
Wastewater Treatment Scheme will consist of:
- Wastewater collection & conveyance system.
- Wastewater treatment & disposal arrangement.
Wastewater collection and conveyance system shall be an underground sewer network that the
total wastewater generated from the proposed project will be treated in Existing STP. The dual
plumbing plan for conveyance of fresh water and treated wastewater is attached as Annexure-
X.
10.4.4.1 Storm Water Management:
Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground water recharge, thus
proper management of this resource is must to ensure that it is free of contamination.
Contamination of storm water is possible from the following sources:
Diesel and oil spills in the Diesel Power Generator and fuel storage area
![Page 184: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)

Waste spills in the Solid/ hazardous waste storage area
Oil spills and leaks in vehicle parking lots
Silt from soil erosion in gardens
Spillage of sludge from sludge drying area of sewage treatment plan.
A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider the above
sources. The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include following:
Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.
Cover waste storage areas.
Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.
Secondary containment and dykes in fuel/oil storage facilities.
Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.
Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.
Provision of slit traps in storm water drains.
Good housekeeping in the above areas.
10.5 EMP FOR LAND ENVIRONMENT
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris, biomass from land
clearing activities, waste from the labour camp, and. hazardous waste. Following section
discusses management of each type of waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important
area for which management measures are required.
10.5.1 Construction Debris
Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an important strategy
for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste
generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced
landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is
![Page 185: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER”

M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 174
particularly applicable to the proposed project site as the construction is to be completed in a
phased manner.
Recycled aggregate was used for filler application, and as a sub-base for road construction.
Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, was not used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to
contamination, and will be given to recyclers.
Construction contractors removed metal scrap from structural steel, piping, concrete
reinforcement and sheet metal work from the site. A significant portion of wood scrap can be
reused on site. Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc were sold to
recyclers.
10.5.2 Waste from Labour Colonies
Waste generated from labour camps was mainly comprise of household domestic waste,
which was collected and composted on site along with the biomass from the land clearing
activities. The non-compostable and non-recyclable portion of the waste shall be collected
and transported to the nearest solid waste dumping site.
10.5.3 Topsoil Management
To minimise disruption of soil and for conservation of topsoil, the contractor had taken the
topsoil out separately and stockpile it. After the construction activity is over, topsoil shall be
utilised for landscaping activity. Other measures, which would be followed to prevent soil
erosion and contamination include:
- Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development.
- To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers was used for storage and
transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/grease handling area was drained
through impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal.
- Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development, and re-vegetation of
bare areas after the project.
- Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).

OPERATIONAL PHASE
10.5.4 Solid Waste Management
The philosophy of solid waste management at the proposed project will be to encourage the
four R’s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). This
will result in lesser reliance on land filling. Regular public awareness meetings will be
conducted to involve the employees in the proper segregation, storage, recycling and
composting options and techniques.
The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste will focus on two major components
during the life cycle of the waste management system i.e. collection & transportation, treatment
or disposal
Collection and Transportation
During the collection stage, the bio-degradable and non-recyclable/non-biodegradable waste
will be stored and collected separately. The segregation, transportation and disposal of wastes will
be done by the project management or may be outsourced to authorized private waste
management agency.
To minimize littering and odor, waste will be stored in well-designed containers/bins that
will be located at strategic locations to minimize disturbance in traffic flow.
Care should be taken so that the collection vehicles are well maintained and minimize noise
and emissions. During transporting of the waste, it will be covered to avoid littering.
Treatment & Disposal
The waste collected shall be segregated at site into bio-degradable and non-biodegradable. The
non- biodegradable waste shall be disposed off through recyclers / and inert shall be disposed
off to local waste disposal site. The biodegradable shall be treated on-site. The hazardous
waste (used oil from DG Sets) will be stored in HDPE drums in isolated covered facility and
![Page 187: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/187.jpg)

disposed off through registered recycles only as per the Hazardous Wastes (Management,
Handling and Trans Boundary Movement) Rules, 2016
10.6 EMP FOR E-WASTE MANAGEMENT
The e-waste will be generated from the proposed development which will be stored at a
warehouse to be setup within site and will be sent to authorized recyclers or e-waste processing
plants for treatment as per E- Waste [Management & Handling] Rules, 2016.
10.7 Biological Environment
10.7.1 Development and construction phase
During the construction and post construction phase, no tree will be cut and therefore no impact is
anticipated on terrestrial ecology. Site clearing shall be carried out strictly as per plan. Workers shall
be advised against cutting, uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees present in and around the
project site for cooking. Workers shall also be discouraged from wandering in nearby areas with
plantation or dense vegetation.
Further, green belt will be developed on the periphery and along the internal roads of site during the
construction phase itself that will act as a curtain to restrict the movement of pollutants from either
side of the project and improve site aesthetics.
10.7.2 Post construction phase
During the post construction phase, green belt will be developed and maintained. Ornamental plant
species and grasses will be planted in open space within the premises 3.5 acres of area is proposed to
be maintained green in the project site.
Plantation Design
The pattern of plantation around the Industrial Estate is discussed under curtain, avenue, field and
ornamental plantations.

The project will be implemented over a span of 3-5 years, the commencement of construction.
11.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE STUDY AREA
The baseline environmental status was assessed based on primary and secondary data collected
either through in-site field observation or obtained from agencies such as Irrigation Department,
India Meteorological Department (IMD), Central Ground Water Board, Geological Survey of
India, State Ground Water Department, State Pollution Control Board, Census of India and Local
Forest Department, Non -Governmental Agencies. The baseline status established from analysis
of secondary and primary data and predicted impacts are discussed below.
11.4.1Land Environment
The land use pattern of the study area (10 km) is mainly residential, agricultural and open scrub,
open land, forest and vegetation.
The construction phase of any construction project poses the threat of soil contamination and soil
erosion, mainly during the construction phase. Inadequate solid waste management & waste from
industries may also cause soil contamination during operation phase. The estimated waste
generation during operation phase will be 2,026 kg/day.
During construction phase, excavation related work will be avoided during the monsoons and
site clearing will be carried out for specific areas being developed. All wastes from site will be
regularly removed and disposed/sold. An efficient solid waste management is proposed
comprising waste collection, segregation at sold waste management facility within the site, and
their disposal. Solid waste will be disposed by sale of recyclable wastes to vendors, composting
of bio-degradable wastes, transportation of inert waste to local dump site.
11.4.2 Water environment
The water requirement during construction phase met from treated water from Private Water
Tankers
During operation phase, source of water will be HUDA.
![Page 203: At M NFRASTRUCTUR . LTD M 8](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/61c6b84213648e6c940156df/html5/thumbnails/203.jpg)
IT PARK “GATEWAY TOWER”
VILLAGE- SARAI ANANGPUR,
DISTRICT FARIDABAD, HARYANA EIA/EMP REPORT
M/S DOVE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED Page 192
A combination of efficient water management to reduce water consumption, reuse of treated
wastewater to reduce freshwater demand and rainwater harvesting to replenish groundwater is
proposed to have a positive bearing on the water environment of the region.
11.4.3 Air Environment
During construction phase, the major air pollutant of prime concern was PM2.5, PM10 as impacts
of other emissions such as SO2, NO2, and CO was not be significant because the nature of
sources is such that the emissions are distributed spatially as well as temporal. The levels of
PM2.5, PM10, are higher than the standards prescribed by NAAQS at all stations because
agricultural land and project site is adjacent to NH-2. Thus dust emissions from construction
activities required comprehensive mitigation measures and best construction practices.
Adequate stack heights was proposed for D.G. Sets above the ground to provide for sufficient
dispersion of pollutants. Water sprinklers will be used to suppress dust during construction.
During the operation phase, green belt and green area development is proposed to restrict and
absorb air pollutants.
11.4.4 Noise Environment
Noise levels were observed at five locations within the study area. Levels of background noise
monitored in exceed the limits at 55 dB (A) and 45dB (A) for daytime and night time
respectively.
The noise emitted from heavy-duty construction equipments during construction period being
high shall require occupational preventive measures and temporary noise barriers for noise
attenuation. The construction period being about 3-5 year duration approx., will require
significant mitigation measures such as restricted loud noise activities to daytime, provision of
PPEs and acoustic enclosures for D.G. Set.
In the operation phase, noise pollution will be checked through acoustic enclosures of DG Sets
and green belt plantation. It will be the responsibility of the Project proponent to provide suitable
noise control measures (noise control barriers/acoustic enclosures) within the Project site.

11.4.5 Biological environment
There is no protected area, reserved forest or sanctuary in the study area. The proposed
landscaping will include native species that will attract local birds, reduce pollution and improve
aesthetics and micro-climate of the region.
11.4.6 Socio-economic environment
The population of the project is approx. 8,662 which include staff and visitors. The study area
has access to adequate transportation facilities. Please refer EMP for details.
11.4.7 Energy efficiency
Power requirement during operation phase will be met by Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam
Limited which is approx. 7,125 KVA. Various provisions are made to reduce the energy
efficiency of the building such as use of solar energy, provision of low energy fixtures, design
features to maximise sunlight and use of materials to improve energy efficiency.
11.4.8 Other
Resource Conservation: A concerted effort is made towards resource conservation by way of
using recycled building materials, fly-ash bricks, reduced water consumption and improving
energy efficiency of the building.
Indoor Air Quality: Special attention will be given to maintaining indoor air quality through
use of low VOC paints, provision of adequate ventilation, proper storage of chemical and
cleaning materials.
Safety: A network of manned security gates, security men, closed circuit TV and intercom
facilities are proposed to ensure safety of the occupant. The buildings will also be provided with
adequate fire tenders, fire alarms and water sprinklers.

11.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Adequate environmental management measures was incorporated during the entire planning and
operating stages of the project to minimize any adverse environmental impact and assure
sustainable development of the area.
For the effective and consistent functioning of the campus, an Environmental Management
System (EMS) was established at the site including an Environmental Management cell for
implementation of the EMP and monitoring plan, training and awareness, audits and
maintenance of records.
Based on the environmental assessment, the associated potential adverse environmental impacts
can be mitigated to an acceptable level by adequate implementation of the measures as stated in
the EIA and the EMP. Some of the features of the project are:
Use of fly ash bricks.
Use of steel manufactured from recycled content
Provide permeable paving to control surface water runoff
Meet all requirements for buildings in moderate earthquake prone areas.
Provision of fire alarms and water sprinklers
Provision of welfare schemes to workers
Commitment to engaging local people and businessmen for maintenance and
repair work
Hence, it may be concluded that the project will have significant positive economic and social
impact on the local community without bearing any significant adverse environmental impacts.

13.3 Impact/Damage Assessment:
The study reveals the extent of environmental damage caused by the project construction without
formal statutory approval. The measurable impacts have been ascertained with the extent of
damage done with the financial liabilities to bridge gap of stipulated environmental norms.
Environment damage & assessment has been studied in comparison to the earlier environmental
status before the start of the activity considering the following parameters:
Ecological Environment
Air Environment
Water Environment
Land Environment
Noise Environment
13.3.1 Ecological Environment
The construction activities may involve removal of native flora from project site.
13.3.1.1 Methodology
Approach followed for ecological impact assessment is as described below:
Obtain information on initial/baseline ecological conditions of site (prior to the development
of project, from the date of allotment/purchase of land) through satellite imagery.
Description of the ecological conditions of site - pre and post project
Analysis of the preliminary variation between pre and post project conditions of site in order
to identify, quantify the impact in terms of types/species, girth and number of trees.
Baseline environment monitoring through an NABL accredited and MoEFCC recognized
laboratory.
Site survey for establishing ground truth and prepare subsequent final assessment report.

13.3.1.2 Analysis of Site Specific Ecological Impact & Management Plan:
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The construction was started in September, 2012 after grant of Mining Permission on 13th
Sep.,
2012 and 54.37% of built up area was completed up to November, 2013.
It is evident from the satellite imagery depicted in Figure 13.1 that no trees existed at site prior to
the development of project. Most of the land at project site was fallow land before start of
construction work with small patches of herbs, shrubs.
Figure 13.1: Project site (prior to development of project: 21.01.2008)
Figure 13.2 below is the current status of project site. Certain portion of land at site are still intact
as in evident from the satellite image.
We selected the untouched areas of project site to carry out field survey for Biodiversity (Flora
and Fauna) study.
The flora and fauna species recorded from project site are common and widely distributed.
The detailed list of floral and faunal species (in and around the project site), have been provided
in Chapter – 3 of the EIA/EMP report.

13.3.1.3 Conclusion:
The recreated biodiversity study for the present project clearly shows that most of the species
recorded are common and widely distributed and the range of occurrence extended to wide
geographical area. Therefore, it can be concluded that the biodiversity loss due to the construct
ion of the present project is not much significant or is negligible.
In order to restore the ecology, 25 no. of native tree species have been planted and 150 more
trees are proposed to be planted during and after completion of the project for enhancement of
biodiversity of the region.
An amount of INR 2 lakh on capital cost and INR 0.5 lakh x 5 years (INR 2.5 lakh) as recurring
expenses has been spent by the project proponent for development of green area. The total
amount spent on account of green area development is INR 4.5 lakh.
Current site photos depicting green area are shown in Figure 13.3:

13.3.2.3 Conclusion:
From the above analysis, it may be concluded that the ambient air quality has not been affected
significantly w.r.t. Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides.
The increase in particulate matter concentration may be attributed to the building construction
and other infrastructural developments as well as increase in vehicular emissions that has
occurred in the vicinity of project site (500 m radius) in last one decade.
In order to limit the dust emissions (PM 10 & PM 2.5), the project proponent had adopted
following measures during construction phase:
Site was enclosed with barricade along the project boundary.

Water sprinkling was done.
Transportation of construction material and excavated earth was done through covered
trucks.
Roads leading to project site were paved.
Tree plantation initiated during construction phase.
Low sulphur diesel based D.G. sets were used.
Maintenance of construction machinery and vehicles was done.
Transportation of construction material and waste through covered trucks.
An amount of INR 4 Lakh as capital cost and INR 3.5 Lakh x 2 years (INR 7 Lakh) as recurring
expenditure has been spent by project proponent on above-said measures.
Thus the total expenditures done on air pollution control during construction phase is INR 11
Lakh.
13.3.3 Water Environment
13.3.3.1 Analysis of Hydrogeology
CGWB has carried out hydro-geological studies in the district of Faridabad.
The data of ground water table and quality reveals that the under groundwater table is receding
due to overexploitation and the quality of water is also deteriorating due to contamination.
Ground water level data of the region for the year 2008 is presented below in Table 13.12:

The present classification status of ground water resources of the district is Critical. However,
since groundwater is not proposed to be used for the project. There will be no impact on ground
water resources.
The data of surface water quality of the region (Agra Canal) has been monitored by CGWB
during 2009 and the results are presented below in Table 13.14:

13.3.3.2 Conclusion
Since ground water was neither used for Construction activities nor proposed to be used during
Operational Phase of the project, there will be no impact on ground water resources as a result of
the project.
In order to augment the ground water resources, the project proponent proposes to provide 8 no.
of RWH pits for artificial ground water recharge.

An amount of INR 24 Lakh as capital cost has been spent by project proponent for construction
of recharge pits. Additionally, recurring cost of maintenance will also be incurred during
Operational Phase of the project
As regards Surface Water quality, there is no stream or drain flowing through the project site or
within 500 m radius of site, hence, no impact expected to have occurred on water environment.

13.3.4.2 Topography
The development work at site was carried out keeping in mind the topography of site. Negligible
cutting and filling has been carried out and the natural topography of site has been retained.
The project proponent had adopted the following measures during construction phase to prevent
contamination of land environment:
.
Topography retained.
Top soil was preserved and used for landscape development.
13.3.4.3 Conclusion
From the comparative soil analysis, it has been observed that there are marginal changes with
respect to texture of soil (might be due to mixing), chemical constituents and nutrient load in
terms of NPK value. The soil quality in both ways show moderate productivity and nutrient
status. However sufficient measures will be taken to provide nutrients in the form of domestic
sludge (STP) to support the nutrients in the form of organic matter and nitrogen and phosphorus
for the plantation. Overall, there was no any adverse effect observed on land environment due to
project activity. There is no change in the topography.

13.5 Natural & Community Resource Augmentation Plan
Natural and Community resources include Schools, Heritage buildings, Railway Stations, Public
Buildings, Open Spaces, Water bodies, Sarai/Shelter homes, Bus stands, Health Care centres,
Forest, Orchards, Village Abadi, Religious places, Markets, etc.
The extent of impacts are inevitably proportionate to the scale of development and thus it is
proposed that for smaller developments [8(a) projects], the natural & community resource
augmentation activities should be undertaken upto a radius of 500 m (affected area) from the
project site in coordination with local authorities.
