3.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT
3.1 BASELINE SCENARIO
In order to assess the current environmental setting and likely impact of the
project on the surroundings, baseline study is carried out by M/s. Pridhvi
Envirotech (P) Limited. Ground water, ambient air, noise and soil samples
were collected and analyzed. The results are presented in the following
sections.
3.2 METEOROLOGY
Hot steppe type climate prevails over Hyderabad. The mean daily
temperature varies from 300C to 430C from April to June and from 200C to
240C in the months of December and January. The climate is pleasant from
November to February. The summer months of April and May are
uncomfortable due to oppressive heat. The period from July to September
is warm, humid and uncomfortable.
More than 75 per cent of the rainfall is received during the south-west
monsoon season, i.e., from June to September, July being the month when
it rains. September is the month, when there are rains. The south-west
monsoon sets in by 2nd week of June. Its advent is sudden and the rainfall
increases from less than 5 per cent (of the annual) in May to 15 per cent in
June.
Humidity in the morning is high exceeding 80 % from July to September. In
the dry months of March, April and May, humidity is generally low with an
average of 25 to 30 % and decreases to 20 % at individual stations. June to
October is the period when more than half of the sky is covered with
clouds, while only about 2/8 of the sky is clouded from January to March.

3.5 HYDROGEOLOGY
Ground Water Conditions
Ground water occurrence, movement and recharge to aquifers are
controlled by degree of weathering, fracture pattern, geomorphological
setup and rainfall. Granites and Gneisses of peninsular gneissic group
constitute major aquifers in the area. Ground water occurs in phreatic
condition in the weathered zone and under semi-confined condition in the
fractured and jointed rock formations.
Due to urbanization, exponential growth in population and industrial units,
demand for water has resulted in indiscriminate drilling of bore wells in
recent years. This has resulted in depletion of ground water levels, drying
up of age old dug wells mainly due to the over exploitation of the ground
water resources. Due to increase in number of bore wells and
overdevelopment of ground water the yields in the area have fallen
leading to failure of wells. The depth of the bore wells in the area varies
from 50 to 100 m, and even some were drilled down to 150 m. The ground
water yields generally range from < 1.0 lps to 3.0 lps (liters per second), with
some instances of up to 5.0 lps. The transmissivity of aquifer range from 19
to 190 m2/day and the specific yield of phreatic aquifer range from 0.01 to
0.4 (CGWB, 2007 & 2013).
The common ground water abstraction structures are dug wells, dug-cum-
bore wells and bore wells and their yields mainly depends on the recharge
conditions in the area. Two bore wells ( 6” or 152 mm diameter) are drilled
side by side (just < 2 m apart) in the premises, which were reported to have
been drilled down to 70 to 80 m, and is giving a moderate yield of < 2.0
lps. The depth to water level is 8.0 m bgl. The two bore wells at the site
are being pumped for about 2 hrs/day and the water is presently used for
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.

construction purposes. Water sample of the borewell was collected for
hydrochemical analysis.
A dug well section was observed in the adjacent northern premises (Jain
Function Hall) of the site. The large dug well is about 8m x 8m in
dimensions, with a depth of about 20 m bgl (below ground level). The well
section indicate about 0.7 m thick brownish soil zone, 3.0 m thick
weathered zone, and further underlain by the fractured grey granite
gneiss. The depth to water is 6.2 m bgl, and water is occasionally being
used for gardening.

Ground Water Levels
Behaviour of ground water level is essentially controlled by physiography,
lithology and rainfall. There is general decline and rise of water during pre-
and post-monsoon season. The rises are due to the general buildup of
water levels in response to rains, and declines are due to erratic monsoon,
less recharge (due to urbanization), and exploitation of groundwater
resources.
The depth to water levels in the area varies from 5 to >15 m bgl. The dug
wells usually show phreatic, and the borewells indicate semi-confined
conditions. During the field visit on 25th March 2016, the borewell located
in the site has the depth to water level of 8.0 m below ground level (bgl),
and the dug well located in the adjacent premises has static water level at
6.20 m bgl.
The long term fluctuation data of two representative Central Ground
Water Board (CGWB) monitoring stations situated near to the project site
were analyzed. These are located at Saroornagar and Vanasthalipuram
areas and the analyzed plots are shown. The CGWB has constructed
piezometer (bore) wells specifically to monitor the ground water levels.

3.6 GROUND WATER RESOURCES ESTIMATION
In collaboration with the state departments, Central Ground Water Board
(CGWB) carried out ground water resource estimation and categorization
studies for the Saroornagar Mandal of Ranga Reddy District for the year
2008-09. The CGWB has categorized the area as ‘safe’ with the stage of
ground water utilization of 24%, indicating further scope for ground water
development. These details are applicable to the study area also, as it is
part of this Mandal.
3.7 WATER QUALITY
The ground water in the Saroornagar Mandal area is generally suitable for
domestic, irrigation, and industrial purposes with few exceptions such as

NOTE: All values except pH are expressed in mg/l.
The results of the hydrochemical sampling indicate that the quality of
ground water is good, potable, alkaline with a pH of over 7, total
dissolved solids (TDS) generally below 700 mg/l, and chloride
concentrations less than 200 mg/l. The salient features found in the
ground water sample of the project site are as follows:
In chemistry Hydrogen Ion Concentration (pH) is a measure of
the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Solutions with a pH
less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater
than 7 are basic or alkaline. Pure water has a pH very close to 7.
The pH concentration of the water sample collected from the study
area has 7.36, and is within acceptable limits.
The total dissolved solids (TDS) are 635 mg/l, and are within
permissible limits of 2000 mg/l indicating its suitability for drinking,
domestic, and industrial use. High concentrations of TDS create
gastro-intestinal problems, and even may not suitable for certain
industrial applications.
Chloride concentrations are within the acceptable limits (250 mg/l).
High concentrations (>1000 mg/l) can affect taste and palatability,
and industrial corrosion of pipes.
The dominant cation is Na, and the dominant anions are HCO3
and SO4.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 28
The sodium concentrations are 123 mg/l, which is within the
acceptable limits of 200 mg/l.
Sulphates concentrations are 88 mg/l, which is within the
acceptable limits of 200 mg/l.
Health hazards of high hardness are insignificant. But high hardness
(Ca + Mg) can cause scaling of pipes and hot water appliances,
but here the total CaCO3-hardness 228 mg/l, which is slightly higher
than the acceptable limits of 200 mg/l, but within the permissible
limits of 600 mg/l..
Regionally there is wide variation in the Fluoride concentrations.
Fluoride concentration at the project site is within the acceptable
limit of 1.00 mg/l, indicating its healthy concentration (< 0.86
mg/l), and thus leaving no scope for the spread of water-borne
diseases like fluorosis, osteosclerosis, etc.
Nitrate concentrations are 62 mg/l indicating the area is marginally
affected with the activities of local pollution. High concentration
over 45 mg/l nitrates can be related to the anthropogenic sources
(point and diffused) pollution from septic tanks, sewerage waste,
application of nitrogen-rich fertilizers, and agricultural processes.
Metallic ionic concentrations like iron and manganese are 0.17
and 0.05 mg/l, which is within the acceptable limits.

Core zone: The project site is a private land with manmade ecosystem with
few selected trees, shrubs and herbs. Entire area is with terrestrial
vegetation is without any forest or agriculture land and it was devoid of
any ecologically sensitive biological resources. There are no REET species
present in the core zone. No migratory corridors or breeding grounds for
faunal species present here.
At present there are few ornamental tree grown within their site premises.
Some space was allotted to raise specific plants in core zone. No special
precautions were made towards conservation of faunal diversity. The
common butterflies, dragonflies, birds and smaller mammals were sighted
here. The campus premise was naturally grown species such as Roystonia

Coconut, Pithacalobium duslce and Plumaria rubra. Bamboo trees,
Phyllanthus acidus, Mangifera indica, Bougainvillia, Carica papaya are
also grown in some corner of the site entrance. The most commonly seen
herbs are Acheranthus aspera, Alternentra sissalis, Tridax procumbence,
Euphorbia hirta etc and few weeds are commonly seen at few places are
Tephrocia purpuria, Lucas aspecra, Casia uniflora, Euphorbia hirta, Croton
bonplantianum, and Tridax procumbance.
The faunal composition generally with arboreal and semi arboreal based
animals. Some very common small animals like Squirrels, bats, rats, skinks
and lizards are generally found here. In aves, Mynas, White headed
babblers, Sparrows, Black drango and Indian Robin are seen. On
Pithecalobium dulsi, several fruit bats are resided.
Buffer Zone
Buffer zone is mostly with human habitations. Buffer area is mainly urban
environment with few aquatic bodies (River Musi, Saroornagar Tank). Most
of the region is covered with roads and residential colonies. Hence
vegetative survey mainly conducted at road side for trees and near parks
and other places for herbs and shrubs. There are no endangered and
endemic plants present in the buffer and core zones. There are no

faunal species present in the buffer zone is mentioned.
IVI and Species Diversity
The diversity indices of the core and buffer zones were 3.174 and 3.529
respectively. The indexes show that the core zone is less diverse area than
buffer zone.
Endemic, Threatened and Endangered Species
In the floristic checklist, the study area shows rich floristic diversity. Number
of floral species in the study area are 228. A good number of species are
commercially cultivated in orchards. Number of plant species have
medicinal value and also important for other non-timber produces. From
the present survey it appears that none of the terrestrial species are under
endangered and threatened species, and not listed in the Schedule I of the
Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 as amended in 1991.

4.2 AIR EMISSION SOURCES
Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate between areas
depending upon the wind direction and speed.
4.2.1 IMPACT OF AIR EMISSIONS
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the construction phase, PM is expected to be the main pollutant
associated with on-site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles and
material handling. In this case, pollution emission sources shall be
distributed throughout the project site and shall fall under the category of
area source. The land acquired is fairly flat, so extensive formation work is
not expected during this phase. It is assumed that most of the excavated
material shall be used within the project, with minimal cut and fill material
to come from outside the site.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 36
Due to the confined nature of heavy construction activity during this
limited period, tailpipe emissions from construction equipment are
assumed to be essentially negligible.
OPERATIONAL PHASE
During the operational phase, the diesel generator sets to be operated for
back-up power supply are the major source of air pollution. From this point
source, the following pollutants are expected;
PM10, PM 2.5 SO2, NOx and CO
Diesel Generator Set Fuel Combustion - Point Source
To serve as an emergency power back-up, one diesel generator of 500
KVA connected to individual stacks shall be installed. The diesel generator
sets are operated only during power failure thus conserving fuel and
reducing the pollution.
As a worst-case scenario, emissions were predicted assuming an operation
time of 24 hours. The emissions from the diesel generators are provided in
the following table:

Characteristics of noise source (instantaneous, intermittent, or
continuous in nature, with the latter contributing the least to noise
pollution);
Time of day at which noise occurs; and
Location of noise source with respect to noise sensitive receptor.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The description of construction activity as detailed in Section 4.2.1 (with
regards to spatial phasing and type of sources) is also pertinent to the
noise emissions emitted in the construction phase. Sources of noise
emissions are expected from various types of construction equipment.
General noise levels generated from the operation of equipment and
machinery are provided in Table 4.3 below:

4.4 WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
4.4.1 WATER REQUIREMENTS
Water requirement during the construction phase will be met from water
tankers. The required water during the operational phase will be sourced
from Borewell located within the site.
Also it is proposed to collect rain water duly and use it for construction
purposes. It is also emphasized that exploitation of ground water shall be
minimized during construction & Operational phases.
The water requirements during various phases of the project are discussed
below:
A) Construction Phase
The project implementation would involve various construction activities.
The following section summarizes the water requirement, its sources and
management of wastewater.
Site development:
Development of site for the proposed development involves excavation,
leveling of the ground surface and stock piling. However as the project site
is flat with no vegetation cover, the leveling activities would result in very

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 40
less water usage. Water requirement for any use at this stage would be
provided from water tankers. Similarly, the generation of domestic
wastewater can be managed on site.
Construction of building infrastructure:
The construction of building infrastructure that includes residential and
other units, Offices, restaurants and multiplex would require water and may
generate waste water too. Water demand during construction phase
would be for:
Construction activities.
Domestic use.
Construction phase may last for a period of approximately two years in
order to complete the earthwork, foundation lying, superstructure
development, service provision and finishing.
The total water requirement for construction activity would be 100 KLD. It is
proposed to source water from ground water resources either through
bore well or though water tankers from outside parties
B) Operational Phase
Daily Water Requirement and Sources:
It has been mentioned before that the domestic water requirements will
be met from the Bore-well and municipal supply. The water requirement for
Flushing, Gardening, Landscaping and other purposes would be met from
duly treated recycled water. However, in case of failure of water
requirements are planned to be met partly through private tankers. Rain
water will be recharged to the ground to augment the water table in the
area.

Sewage Treatment Process Description:
SEWAGE treatment plant is designed to treat 230cum of Sewage per day.
This Sewage shall be generated across the 3 shifts. The proposed scheme is
depicted in the figure attached below.
Primary treatment: The Sewage is collected and led via drain to the
treatment plant site. In the drains, screens shall be provided for retaining
coarse matter. The screens are manual type and are to be cleaned at
regular intervals. Two stages of screens are provided i.e. coarse screen
followed by fine screens. The Sewage is then taken to grit chamber for
removal of grit. Following removal of grit, the Sewage is taken to an
equalization tank for attenuation of variation in waste flow rate and
characteristics. It is proposed to have equalization tank with holding
capacity of 6 hours DT. For mixing, and to avoid solids from settling, air shall
be bubbled in the equalization tank through a grid placed at the base of
the tank. The equalized Sewage is pumped at a uniform and constant rate
for further treatment.
Secondary treatment: Sewage from the primary stage treatment is
subjected to bio-chemical oxidation in aeration tank. An attached growth
fluidized bed aerobic system working as an extended aeration system is
proposed. Air for aeration is supplemented by means of blowers
connected to air diffusers. For immobilizing the microbes, high surface area
to volume ratio synthetic media shall be provided in the aeration tank. This
system has the following advantages:
a) Smaller foot print area
b) Ease in operation and maintenance
c) Operator skills required are minimal
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 44
d) System less susceptible to upset conditions (shock loading, power
failure etc.)
e) Lower energy requirements
f) No clogging or chocking of the media.
Following bio-chemical oxidation, the Sewage from the aeration tank is
taken to a tube-deck (secondary settling tank) for solid-liquid separation.
The sludge collected in the hopper bottom of the settling tank is
periodically withdrawn to sludge sump tank. Overflow from the settling
tank is subjected to tertiary treatment. Overflow from the secondary
settling tank is taken to chemical oxidation tank for chemically oxidizing
the residual contaminants. Chlorine shall be added for chemical oxidation.
For adequate contact time a chlorine contact chamber with 30 minutes
detention time and mixing arrangement is proposed.
Tertiary treatment: The Sewage from chlorine contact chamber is then
collected in a sump and pumped to a pressure sand filter for removal of
particulate matter. The Sewage is then taken through an activated carbon
column for removal of trace organics and pollutants (chlorine, color, trace
organics etc.).
Sludge Treatment: Sludge from the settling tank shall be transferred to
sludge sump tank. By using filter press feed pumps we transfer the sludge
from sludge sump tank to filter press. The water from the filter press is
recycled into the equalization tank.

Water conservation:
Water conservation is an important part of sustainable living and in order to
optimize the water requirement in the project, the developers would
incorporate the component of water conservation by means of rainwater
harvesting and water recycling using fixtures which are low flow and water
efficient models such as 3 litre capacity WC flushing system, sensor
operated urinals and taps to minimize the wastage of water along with
employee education and awareness programme and selective use of dry
type urinals. As per the approved plans from GHMC, various mitigative
measures shall be proposed to further minimize the impacts.
Storm Water Management & Rain Water Harvesting Structures
It is proposed to channelizing the storm water by constructing water drains
leading to the storm water sump. In order to minimize the surface runoff
loss, groundwater recharging through groundwater recharge pits at the
project site has been planned. Appropriate design considerations have
been taken while designing the recharge pits.
Calculating Runoff for Water Harvesting
Calculating runoff is an important step in designing your water harvesting
system. You should determine both your water supply and your water
demand. Use this worksheet to determine your rainwater supply.
Catchment Area: the area in which rain directly falls (i.e. a roof, a
driveway, or a landscape). The area is the same regardless of slope; you
can also think of the area as seen from a birds-eye view or as the horizontal
surface space occupied.
Runoff Coefficient: the average percentage of rainfall that will run off a
particular surface (i.e. a metal roof has a runoff coefficient of 0.8 or 80%
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 47
runoff). The runoff coefficient will vary depending on the composition of
the surface and the rainfall intensity.
Annual Rainfall: the average amount of rainfall over one year period for
your location.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 54
are no Rare or Endangered or Endemic or Threatened (REET) species
present in core or buffer zone.
The direct impacts: No direct impact on present vegetation. No
destruction of biodiversity within core zone and natural ecosystems
through removal of natural soils, plants and the floral dependent animals.
No wildlife population is present in the study area except the common
type of birds and domestic animals. No significant long-term residual
impacts on fauna due to project are expected.
Indirect Impacts: No indirect impact on present vegetation. The impact
intensity may be moderate at initial stage but it might be high when it is in
full stretched operation condition. The terrestrial habitat is going to be
modified as per the green belt plan. The proposed activity is not going to
affect the local plants, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The producers are
grass species, herbs, shrubs and trees. The consumers are reptiles, aves and
lesser mammals.
4.8 OTHER STRESSORS LEADING TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Change in Landscape of the site: The landscape of the area will change
with the coming up of proposed project. The large vista, interconnected
lawns and open green areas will change the aesthetics of the local area.
4.9 IMPACT OF TRAFFIC
Total Parking facility provided is 492 four wheelers and 389 two wheelers.

CHAPTER – 6
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed
to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable
manner where all contractors and subcontractors, including consultants,
understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed
project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. EMP also
ensures the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the
design by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce adverse
environmental impacts during its life cycle.
The plan outlines existing and potential problems that may adversely impact
the environment and recommends corrective measures where required. Also,
the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors
who are charged with the responsibility to manage the site.
The EMP is generally:
Prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MOEF and
the Telangana Pollution Control Board;
To ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance
with the design;
Process that confirms proper operation through supervision and
monitoring;
System that addresses public inconvenience during construction and
operation of the facility; and
Plan that ensure remedial measures are implemented immediately.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 67
The key benefits of the EMP are that it provides the organization with means
of managing its environmental performance thereby allowing it to contribute
to improved environmental quality. The other benefits include cost control as
improved relations to the stakeholders.
EMP includes four major elements;
Commitment & Policy: Project proponents will strive to provide and
implement the EMP that incorporates all issues related to air, land and
water for the project.
Planning: This includes identification of environmental impacts, legal
requirements and setting environmental objectives.
Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the
developers, accountability of contractors, training of operational staff
associated with environmental control facilities and documentation of
measures to be taken.
Measurement & Evaluation: This includes monitoring, corrective actions,
and record keeping.
It is suggested that as part of the EMP, a Monitoring Team should be formed
by the project proponent comprising of the site in-charge, project planning
group representative and project implementation team representative. This
committee’s role would be to ensure proper, operation and management of
the EMP including the regulatory compliance.
6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be required to mitigate the
adverse environmental impacts during construction and operation phase of
the project and these are as below:
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.

6.2.1 EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT
A) Construction Phase
To mitigate the impact of PM (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.
TABLE 6.1: DUST CONTROL PLAN
S.No Fugitive Dust
Source Category
Dust Control Actions
1. Earth-moving - For any earth moving which is more than
30m from all property lines, conduct
watering as necessary to prevent visible
dust emissions from exceeding 100m in
length in any direction.
2. Disturbed surface areas
(except completed
grading areas)
- Apply dust suppression in a sufficient
quantity and frequency to maintain a
stabilized surface;
- Areas, which cannot be stabilized, as
evidenced by wind driven dust, must
have an application of water at least
twice per day to at least 80 percent of
the unstabilized area.
Disturbed surface areas
(completed grading
areas)
- Apply water to at least 80 percent of all
inactive accessible disturbed surface
areas on a daily basis when there is
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 69
evidence of wind driven fugitive dust.
3. Inactive disturbed surface
areas
- Apply dust suppressants in sufficient
quantity and frequency to maintain a
stabilized surface.
4. Unpaved roads -Water all roads used for any vehicular
traffic at least twice per day of active
operations; OR
- Water all roads used for any vehicular
traffic once daily and restrict vehicle
speed to 30 kmph.
5. Open storage piles - Apply water to at least 80 percent of the
surface areas of all open storage piles on
a daily basis when there is evidence of
wind driven fugitive dust.
6. Track-out control -Downwash of trucks (especially tyres)
prior to departure from site.
The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water
tends to be readily available on a construction site. Water can be applied
using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems.
Furthermore, incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in
transport, especially if material is transported off-site.
Procedural Changes to Construction Activities
Material Production - The transport of materials such as concrete and asphalt
to construction sites generate significant amounts 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.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 70
Emission Control for Equipment- Control equipment such as particle filters can
be used to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions.
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 will
be asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet as part of the
contract bid and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract. A
monetary incentive/disincentive provision will be established to encourage
contractors to comply with regular maintenance requirements.
Reduction of On-site Construction Time - Rapid on-site construction would
reduce the duration of traffic interference and therefore, reduce emissions
from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of structural components can also
enhance the quality of work, as the production takes place in controlled
settings and external factors such as weather and traffic do not interfere.
B) Operation Phase
To mitigate the impact of pollutants from diesel generator sets during the
operational phase of the site the following measures are recommended for
implementation:
Diesel generator set emission control measures; and
Greenbelt development.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 71
Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measures
The most important pollutant requiring further control is NOx, as the impact of
SO2 emission is minimal because of the use of low (~0.05%) Sulphur in diesel as
fuel.
The following mitigation measures are proposed for NOx reduction:
add-on emission control technologies; and
NOx retarder
Among the above-mentioned options, inherent low NOx emissions
technologies (i.e. a temperature retarder) and better dilution through higher
stack are preferred cost effective mitigation measures. The add-on emission
control technologies are not considered as it leads to pollution transfer to
another media and shall require further mitigative measures.
Greenbelt Development
Green belt is recommended as one of the major components of
Environmental Management Plan. The total area of plant is 3.92 acres. Out of
this, green belt is developed in 0.39 acres. Proper attention and
management is required to maintain the survival rate of the planted species.
Around 23 plant species suggested under the green belt plan and around 20
lakhs financial budget is proposed to develop the habitat. Species such as
Roystonia regia (Royal palm), Caryota urens (Fish tail palm), Polyalthia
longifolia, Collistemon linearis (Bottle brush), and Plumaria rubra can be
raised in large number in all the directions. Species such as Ficus
benghalensis, Ficus religiosa, Ficus glomerata, Phyllanthus emblica,
Pterocarpus santalinus, Anona squamosa, Bauhinia recemosa can be raised
in buffer areas. Small herbs, ornamental species and common flowering

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 72
plants as per the availability can also be raised near the paths and corridors
of the existing plants.
6.2.2 EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT
A) Construction Phase
To mitigate the impact of noise from construction equipment during the
construction phase of the site the following measures are recommended for
implementation:
Noise Shields - Construction equipment producing the most amount of noise
should be fitted with noise shields. This shield is a physical barrier (composed
of brick and mud, with a non reflective internal plastering), approximately 3
meters in height, which will provide adequate noise attenuation.
Time of Operation - Noisy construction equipment should not be permitted
during night hours.
Job Rotation and Hearing Protection - Workers employed in high noise areas
will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs, or other hearing protective wear will be
provided to those working very close to the noise generating machinery.
B) Operation Phase
To mitigate the impact of noise from diesel generator sets during the
operational phase the following measures are recommended for
implementation:
Noise emissions control technologies; and
Greenbelt development.
Noise Emissions Control Technologies: All the diesel generators will be housed
in a suitable acoustic enclosure so that noise levels at a distance of one
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 73
meter do not exceed 75 dB(A) at 75% load (as per CPCB norms). The diesel
generator set housing will be equipped with walls and ceilings lined with glass
wool to acoustically treat the noise levels. This acoustic insulation shall be
designed to meet the mandatory standards based on a 25 dB(A) insertion
loss.
Greenbelt Development: The following species can be used in a greenbelt to
serve as noise breakers:
Tectona grandis (Teak);
Butea monosperma (Palash);
Leucana leucocephala (Subabual);
Mangifera indica (Aam); and
Dalbergia Sissoo (Shisham).
6.2.3 EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT
A) Construction Phase
To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water source,
adequate control measures have 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.
No discharge of treated wastewater to soil and ground water body.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 74
Waste water channels from the site would be connected to septic tank
during construction 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.
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 should be provided with proper garland
drains equipped with baffles to prevent run off from the site to enter
any water body.
B) 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, rainwater collection in reservoirs, and recycling of waste water.
These could be in the form of the following:
Water source Development
Minimizing water consumption
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 75
Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed
loop systems for different water streams.
Water Source Development
Water source development shall be practiced by installation of scientifically
designed artificial water recharging structures. The objective is to develop the
water sources of the region, such that sustainable water supply to the
proposed project is maintained. Following methods normally do artificial
recharge;
Area Treatment
Spreading Methods
Open Well and Shafts
Drilled wells and Bore Holes
The suitability of a particular method is based on hydro-geological condition,
quality of source and proposed use of recharge water. In the proposed
project, groundwater recharge pits are planned for groundwater recharging.
It is envisaged that recharging to ground water will improve the water quality
in the area, as the rainwater is fresh and without any pollution. It is planned to
effectively harvest water by rainwater harvesting mechanism.
Minimizing Water Consumption
Water consumption will be minimized by implementing water efficient fixtures
such as 3 litres WC flushing cistern and taps to minimize the wastage of water
together with other water conservation measures. Furthermore, to ensure
ongoing water conservation, an employee education and awareness
programme will be introduced for the employee of the mall. Dry type urinals

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 76
will also be used selectively. Following section discusses the specific
measures, which shall be implemented;
Residential Usage:
Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ultra flow toilets and urinals,).
Water efficient plumbing fixtures use less water with no marked
reduction in quality and service. To install water less W.C. flushing
cistern helps in conserving water.
Leak detection and repair techniques
Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down
for external areas;
Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and
technologies that can be used for water conservation
New employees will be issued a standard water information packet.
The information should include water conservation plans, water
conservation methods being adopted in the complex and a list of
essential and non-essential water uses.
Office Manager will periodically remind the staff of water conservation
efforts and notify staff of recurring problems with compliance or any
changes in policy. As new conservation efforts are implemented, the
manager will communicate these changes to the employees.
Proper methods of water use will be placed in the toilets and other
areas of water consumption.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 77
Horticulture:
Drip irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green area.
Drip irrigation can save between 15-40% of the water use, compared
with other watering techniques.
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.
Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment and Development of Closed Loop
Systems
To promote reuse of Water after Treatment and development of closed loop
system for water, segregation of two schemes namely (i) Wastewater
Treatment scheme; and (ii) Storm water management scheme have been
suggested.
Harvested storm water as discussed in earlier section, shall be utilized for
artificial recharge of ground water sources as well as to augment the project
water requirements. Recycled wastewater shall be reused on site for flushing,
and gardening.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 78
It is estimated that reusing wastewater will save approximately 30 to 35 % of
portable water per day in the shopping mall. Following section details the
wastewater treatment scheme suggested for the project.
6.2.4 EMP FOR LAND ENVIRONMENT
A) Construction Phase
Waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris,
biomass from land clearing activities (if any), waste from the labour camp,
and. other waste. The following section discusses management of each type
of waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important area for which
management measures are required.
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
particularly applicable to shopping mall project as the construction is to be
completed in a phased manner.
Recycled aggregate will be used for filler application, and as a sub-base for
internal road construction. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not
be used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will be
given to recyclers.
Construction contractors shall remove 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 shall be sold to recyclers.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 79
Solid and Other waste
Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints,
solvents, wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Such wastes
generated during construction phase shall be stored in sealed containers,
labeled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Wastes Management,
Handling and Transboundary Movement Amendment Rules (MoEF, 2009).
Some management practices to be developed are;
Herbicides and pesticide will not be over applied (small-scale
applications) and not applied prior to rain;
Paintbrushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be
cleaned within a contained area and shall not be allowed to
contaminate site soils, watercourses, or drainage systems.
Adequate storage facilities for such waste shall be provided and the
waste collection containers conveniently located. A separate
designation to earmark such waste will be made so that the waste
storage areas are away from storm drains or watercourses.
Clearly label all such waste containers with the waste being stored and
the date of generation.
Educate employees and subcontractors on waste storage and
disposal procedures.
Soil Management
Measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and
contamination include - Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping
and green belt development.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 80
To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers
should be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash
off from the oil/grease handling area shall be drained through
impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal.
Vegetation of bare areas after the project.
Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).
Construction of erosion prevention troughs/berms.
B) Operational Phase
The philosophy of solid waste management at the shopping mall will be to
encourage the four R’s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and
recovery (materials & energy). This will reduce in lesser reliance on land filling.
Regular public awareness meetings will be conducted to involve the
occupants and the employees to ensure proper segregation, storage and
collection of waste as per the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and
Handling) Rules 2000.
The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste focuses on the
Segregation, Storage at source and Collection of the waste management
system.
Segregation and storage at source
Segregation of waste at source should be made mandatory for the complex.
Segregation or sorting waste at its source should be practiced in order to
encourage reuse/recycling. With segregation at source recyclables do not
lose their commercial value due to cross contamination.
Residential Complex M/s. Madhavaram Constructions, Sy.No 42, 43 & 44, Lingojiguda (v), Saroornagar(M),Rangareddy(D), Telangana State.
Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 81
Waste generated at the complex should be segregated as: bio degradable,
inert cum mixed waste, recyclables and waste from changing oil. The entire
waste stream from the complex should be stored and collected separately.
Collection
The Recyclables from the shopping mall would be given to the waste
itinerant buyers or rag pickers, whereas segregated bio-degradable waste
and inert cum mixed waste shall be sent to the nearest landfill site for
processing and final disposal. Wastes, such as spent oils, paint residues etc.
from the site would be collected separately & would be properly disposed
off.
6.2.5 EMP FOR BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Construction activities change the natural environment. But it also creates a
built environment for the surrounding. The project requires the
implementation of following choices exclusively or in combination.
A) Construction Phase
Restriction of construction activities to defined project areas, which are
ecologically less sensitive.
Restrictions on location of labour camps and offices for project staff
near the project area to avoid human induced secondary additional
impacts on the flora and fauna species.
Cutting, uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees present in and
around the project site for cooking, burning or heating purposes by the
laborers will be prohibited and suitable alternatives for this purpose will
be found.

Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Ltd,Hyderabad. Page 82
Along the major construction work the peripheral greenbelt should be
developed, so that; it will grow to become a full-fledged green cover
by the time the construction is over.
B) Operation Phase
Enhancement of current ecology at the proposed project site will entail the
following measures:
Plantation & landscaping
Green Belt Development
Park & avenue plantation
The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the
above objective.
Plantation & landscaping
Selection of the plant species will be based on their adaptability to the
existing geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the
forest type of the region.
During the development of the green belt within the project area, it has to be
emphasized that those native plant species should be planted which are
having good ornamental values and fast growing with excellent canopy
cover.
Selection of plant species for Green belt development
The selection of plant species for the development depends on various
factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can
be suitably planted, and having significant importance are provided in Table
