occupants is 135 litres/day/ person and for visitors the requirement is 15

litres/day/person. The total population likely to be accommodated would



be around 1945 people. Another 10 people would be there like security

and other support staff. Thus total water requirement for inmates is

estimated at 262 KLD. Quantity estimated for guests and visitors is

estimated at another 5.0 KLD. Considering washings of floors and other

requirement, a total requirement is estimated at 267 KLD. Out of this, it is

estimated that 80 KLD of water would be required for toilet flushing’s and

rest for other uses. Also it is estimated that about 5.0 KLD of water is

required for landscaping and plantation purposes. Thus total water

requirement would be 272.0 KLD

It is proposed to source water from Bore wells. As water availability from

Municipal sources is also available, municipal authorities would be

approached for supply of fresh water

The treated waste water would be recycled for toilet flashings and green

belt. Any additional treated waste is there, same will be connected to

municipal sewer

The total sewage water generated is 230 KLD. It is proposed to treat the

sewage in STP of capacity of 280 KLD. The treated waste water is used for

Flushing & gardening (85.0 KLD). Rest of the 145 KLD of treated water would

be send to municipal sewer. Thus the total fresh water requirement during

2.11 SITE DESCRIPTION

2.11.1 GEOMORPHOLOGY

The site is in the Lingojiguda village of Rangareddy district, and is located

about one kilometer south of Saroornagar, 4 km northwest of

Vanasthalipuram, and also approachable from NH9 (National Highway).

The site is bounded by the Bambino factory on the southeastern side, Jain

Function Hall on the northern side, and built up areas on other sides. Sri

Ramalayam temple is located at 50 m southeast. The area is as well shown

in the Toposheet No. 56/K/SW of the Survey of India.

FIGURE - 2.5: PROJECT SITE LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS

The area is distinguished by the pediment-inselberg complex with gently

undulating plain abounding with a number of small hills, mounds, tors,

dykes, etc. The area around the project site constitute matured,

dissected, undulating and rolling topography with erosional landscape

covered by a layer of yellowish-brown loamy soil of varied thickness. Most



of these land forms are getting flattened because of intense construction

activity in the area. Physiographically the land site area forms a pediment

area with gentle slope towards Musi River located at about 3.0 km north.

The area is underlain by weathered granite gneisses with general elevation

in the range of 500 m above mean sea level (amsl).

FIGURE - 2.6: PROJECT SITE LOCATION

2.11.2 DRAINAGE

Major part of the pediment-inselberg complex is dissected by streamlets

flowing in a general northern direction, and forming part of the

catchment area of the Musi River Basin. Some small and medium size

tanks and some water bodies are situated, and most of which are

connected by small ephemeral nallahs (streamlets). The Saroornagar tank

is the largest one covering an area of about 2.50 sq. km (Figures 1 and 3).



The area is regionally characterised by dendritic drainage, with a gentle

slope towards Musi River. The water bodies in the area are gradually

getting reduced over the years with the slowing down of inflows, erratic

rain fall, as well the construction activity.

FIGURE - 2.7: PHYSIOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE DISTRIBUTION OF THE AREA

2.11.3 GEOLOGY

The area comprises of Archaean granites and gneisses comprising older

metamorphic rocks, peninsular gneissic complex (migmatites) and younger

intrusive rocks. The lithological units include granites, gneisses, schists,

younger granites, dolerites, and amphibolites.

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.



Half of the days in July and August have overcast skies. About 10 to 13

days in the months of January, February and March, the skies are free from

clouds, clear weather.

The ambient temperature ranges between 13oC to 44oC with average

temperature being 25oC. The relative humidity ranges from 28 to 65% with

average humidity being about 45%.

3.3 AIR QUALITY:

The ambient air quality in the study area was measured at project site and

analysed for PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NOx. The air quality at main entrance of

the site is presented below.

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



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.

A Well Section showing Soil and Weathered Zone underlain by the Fractured Granite

Gneiss



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



Nitrate and Fluoride. Fluoride concentration in ground water in the area

varies from < 0.5 to about 1.50 mg/l (CGWB, 2007).

The quality of ground water in and around the project site is potable.

Ground water sample was collected on 25th March 2016 from the borehole

located at the project site, and the sample was analysed in the Chemical

Laboratory at the Pridhvi Envirotech Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad. The results are

summarised in Table 3.3.

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.

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.

3.9 FLORA & FAUNA

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



regia (Royal palm), Caryota urens (Fish tail palm), Polyalthia longifolia,

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



medicinal, timber / fuel wood, fodder and other socio-economic purposes.

The faunal composition was also estimated based on the direct and

indirect evidences.

Among the flora, Albizia procera, Albizia lebbeck, Sammania samman,

Delonix regia, Azadirchta indcia, Peltoforum sp., Terminalia catapa,

Psidium guava, Dalbergia sisso and Tamarindus indica are predominant

near road side. Mangifera and coconut and other common fruit yielding

trees are very common here. Phoenix aculis, Borassus flabellifera,

Azadirachta indica, Prosopis spicegera, P. cenera, Ficus sp, Acacia sp,

Tribulus terrstris, Achyranthus aspera, Euphorbia caudifolia, E. tirucelli.

Opuntia, are mainly restricted to waste lands. A detailed list of floral and

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.



Aquatic Ecosystem: The biological resources of aquatic system were

studied near Musi River belt and the other major water bodies such as

Hussain sagar, Saroor nagar tank, Miralam Tank and small other tanks

present in buffer area. A total of 65 species of fishes, Five amphibians have

been recorded in the study area by secondary source of information.

None of the aquatic fauna is threatened or endangered,

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.



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:

4.3 NOISE EMISSIONS SOURCES

The assessment of the impacts of noise on the surrounding community

depends upon:



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:

Noise limit for diesel generator set (1 X 500 KVA) manufactured on or after

the 1st January, 2005.

The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator

(DG) set with rated capacity 1 X 500 KVA, manufactured on or after the 1st

January, 2005 shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 meter from the enclosure surface.

Noise control for diesel generator will be as follows:-

Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure

or by treating the room acoustically, at the users end.

The acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room shall be

designed for minimum 25 dB (A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient

noise standards, whichever is on the higher side ( if the actual ambient

noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the

performance of acoustic enclosure/ acoustic treatment. Under such

circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction upto

for Insertion Loss may be done at different points at 0.5 m from the acoustic

enclosure/ room. The DG set shall be provided with proper exhaust muffler

with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A).These limits shall be regulated by

the State Pollution Control Boards and the State Pollution Control

Committees.

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

http://www.cpcb.nic.in/



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.



4.5 ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

a). Waste Water Generation & Management:

Total quantity of wastewater generation is likely to be 230 KLD. The

generated waste water is collected and treated in in-house Sewage

Treatment Plant of 280 KLD capacity. Out of the total treated water, 85.0

KLD is used for Gardening & Flushing and rest would be discharged to

municipal sewers. The water balance details are presented below.

The waste water generated from residential complex i.e 230 KLD which will

be treated in S.T.P. The available recycled water after treatment @ 85.0

KLD will be used for Gardening & Flushing and the rest will be disposed to

sewer system. It should therefore be concluded there is no significant

impact on surface water quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed

rainwater harvesting scheme stabilizes the groundwater table in the area.



FIGURE - 4.1: WATER BALANCE DIAGRAM

b). Sewage Treatment Plant (STP):

A sewage treatment plant of 280 KLD capacity based on Fluidized Aerobic

Bio-Reactor (FAB) technology is proposed to treat 230 KLD of sewage

water generated in the proposed project .After treatment the water will be

used for Gardening & Flushing.

The design of the STP shall be based on the parameters given in below

table.

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



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.



FIGURE – 4.2: PROPOSED SCHEME OF TREATMENT



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%



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.

The total annual rainwater harvesting potential of the project site is 250.07

Cum/per annum. The rainwater is proposed to be channelized for

groundwater recharging through the Harvesting pits. 22 no’s of Rain Water

Harvesting pits are provided at four corners of the site.

FIGURE - 4.3: RAIN WATER HARVESTING STRUCTURE

c) Solid & Hazardous Waste Details:

Domestic garbage is anticipated from the residential complex. Total solid

waste estimated @ 0.5 Kg/day per person and 0.15 Kg/day per visitor. Thus

total garbage anticipated from the complex will be 1010 kg/day which is

proposed to be disposed to municipal solid waste disposal facility of MCH

through local municipal authorities. About 30 Kgs/day of solid waste



anticipated from sewage treatment plant and same will be used as

manure.

The hazardous waste generated will primarily be waste lube oil from

maintenance of DG sets of about 100 liters per annum and 40 liters per

annum of transformer oil from transformers. This waste oils will be collected

in barrels and disposed off through parties authorized by TSPCB / CPCB.

2 no’s of per annum of used batteries will be disposed of by a buy-back

arrangement with the battery supplier.

4.6 CONSTRUCTION WASTE & DEBRIS

Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out to

estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to proposed project during construction and

operation phase. The estimated quantity and quality of waste would serve

as a baseline for designing collection, transportation, treatment and

disposal options for solid waste generated due to proposed project.

Waste quantification has been done based on the activities proposed in

the project master plan. The waste generation for each activity has been

estimated based on National and International standards applicable in

similar setting. The following section gives the details of the type of waste

generated by different activity, waste generation factors and assumptions

used for estimating waste generation.

Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out to

estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to the proposed project activity during the

construction and operation phase.

4.6.2 WASTE QUANTIFICATION


Construction activities create solid wastes that need to be disposed. Such

wastes include sand, concrete, gravel, stone, bricks, plastic, paper, wood,

metal and glass. According to a report prepared by the Technology



Information, Forecasting, and Assessment Council (TIFAC), estimated waste

generation during construction and demolition operations is 60 kg/m2 and

500 kg/m2 respectively (TIFAC, 2001). This waste after sorting can be used

for backfilling in the basement and for leveling purposes.

B) OPERATIONAL PHASE

Waste quantification has been carried out based on the activities

proposed in the project master plan. Waste generation factors for each

activity are as per the National and International standards applicable in

similar setting. Following section outlines details of the type of waste

generated by different activities.

Residential waste: Domestic garbage is anticipated from the residential

complex. Municipal solid waste disposal facility of MCH through local

municipal authorities. About 30 Kgs/Day of solid waste anticipated from

sewage treatment plant and same will be used as manure.

Garden and open spaces: Waste from open spaces and garden comprise

of horticultural waste that will be generated by periodical lawn mowing

and trimming of trees. Horticulture waste generated is based on the

experience in other projects with similar setting. Assumed waste generation

factor for horticulture waste is 15 kg/acre / day or .0037 kg/ sq m /day.

4.6.3 WASTE CHARACTERIZATION

Waste characterization for the proposed project has been carried out on

the basis of waste characterization studies in similar settings. The following

section details the estimated waste generation for proposed project during

construction and operation phases.


During the construction phase, a considerable quantum (90%) of waste

generated at the project site would be inert waste, which largely

comprising of clay, sand, gravel, untreated wood (natural wood, no paint),

brick, concrete, concrete block, asphalt, pipes, conduits and light steel

material. A major portion of this waste will be used for backfilling the

basement and other leveling purposes.

4.7 IMPACT ON FLORA & FAUNA

Prediction of Impact on local flora and fauna

There are no migratory corridors, nesting and Breeding sites within the core

zone. No need to take any mitigation measures in this connection. One

must be very concern towards ecology of the area while altering the

habitats. From the list of floral and faunal species it is very clear that there



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.




east direction from the site. Considering the no. of vehicles anticipated

from the complex, the impact will be minimum on the road.

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.



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:



6.2.1 EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT


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



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.



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.



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



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


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



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


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.



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



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



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.



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.



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


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.



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.



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.


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.



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.


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.



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



6.3. The plants should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to

be selected for plantation.

i. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum

penetrability.

ii. The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted.

iii. The species should form a dense canopy.

iv. As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally

available

v. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SPM, SO2 and NOx should be

preferred.

vi. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and

mixing within the belt.

vii. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.

viii. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on

both the surfaces.

ix. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.

x. Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter).

xi. Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing.

xii. Bird and insect attracting tree species.
