Introduction
1.1 PREFACE
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the
possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on
the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social and
economic aspects. It is an assessment and management tool that
evaluates the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project
may have on the environment. EIA systematically examines both beneficial
and adverse consequences of the project and ensures that these effects
are taken into account during project design.
The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers
consider the ensuing environmental impacts when deciding to proceed with
a project.
As India is a developing country, lots of industrialization has been came in
focus since last few decades that ultimately leads the bigger issues related
the environmental quality of the country. Hence, it is needful for
Government of India to control the haphazard industrial development by
providing sustainable development under the legislation.
In India, Ministry of Environment and Forests has defined elaborated
„Environmental Clearance (EC)‟ framework along with requirements for
preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the
Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 (Environmental Impact Assessment
Notification, 2006) for establishing/expanding and industry/development
projects although it supports development but only if the development
does not hamper the environment over a defined threshold limit.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
Industrial development in India has increased economic growth and
improved living standards of people. These growths are achieved through
industrialization, infrastructure development. The industrialization has
played a major role in development of the country. This industrialization is
also has many other benefits. Although the industrial development leads to

EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 1-2
rapid consumption of natural resources, fuel etc. in day to day operational
activity. These will deteriorating resources and increase emissions of waste
in terms of solid, liquid and gaseous. To control the pollutions from
industrial activity, government has framed regulations which are governed
by Ministry of Environment and Forest in India.
Environment Impact analysis is mandatory as per the Environment Impact
Assessment (EIA) notification issued by Ministry of Environment and
Forests (MoEF), New Delhi dated 14th September 2006, for setting up a
new projects or activities, or expansion or modernization of existing
projects or activities based on their potential environmental impacts as
indicated in the Schedule to the notification, being undertaken in any part
of India, unless prior environmental clearance has been accorded.
M/s. Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. falls under the category of 5(b) of
schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 “Pesticides industry and pesticides
specific Agrochemical intermediates (excluding formulations)” and

Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.
Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of Boilers (out
of which one will be treated as standby) due to combustion of fuel. FO will
be used as fuel in boiler.
Process emission will be from stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin
reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor.
Emitted pollutants from flue gas stacks will be SPM, SO2 and NOx and
pollutants from process stacks will be HCl, Cl2 & SO2.
Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity which will be treated
as standby and use in case of non-availability of power and or emergency,
where HSD will be used as a fuel. Probable pollutants likely to emit will be
SPM, SO2 and NOx, but it will not the constant source of emission as it will
be used in case of power failure only. Details of the stacks are given in
Table 2.8.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 2-8
Sources of fugitive emission:
In proposed activities, there will be chances of generation of VOCs, acid
fumes from material handling area, process area, solvent storage area etc.
There will be also changes of generation of PM (Dust) from packing/
finishing area. Details of fugitive emissions (estimated) are given in Table
2.8 (d).
2.14.3 Hazardous/Solid waste generation
There will be six types of Haz. Waste generation from the proposed
activities i.e. ETP sludge, waste carbon, process residue, Off specific
products, Discarded containers/ liners, Used Lubricating Oil.
The quantity of ETP sludge will be 112 MT/month, Waste Carbon-1.0
MT/month, Process Residue-65.0 MT/month, Off specific products,
Discarded containers- 1000 Nos./month, Liners will be 0.2 MT/month; used
oil will be estimated around 1.0 kl/year. The details of the hazardous
wastes with its category are given in Table 2.11.
2.14.4 Noise generation
The main sources of noise pollution will be from operation of boiler, D.G.
set, process plant, APCM and other machineries etc. The noise level in the
unit will be well within the prescribed limit.
2.15 POLLUTION CONTROL STRATEGY
The unit is equally conscious about the pollution control strategy. The
details of pollution control strategy for various parameters are given
hereunder,
2.15.1 Effluent Management
The main source of the industrial wastewater generation will be process
effluent, washing and utilities. Entire quantity of wastewater will be treated
in ETP having primary and tertiary treatment units. Treated water from ETP
will be passed through RO & reject of RO will be sent to MEE for further
treatment. RO permeate & Condensate from MEE will be reused for utility &
greenbelt development, so there will be no effluent discharge outside the
premises from unit. Design details of ETP are given in Table 2.13 and flow
diagram of ETP is given as Figure 2.2.
Other source of wastewater generation will be domestic wastewater of 5.0
KL/day; which will be disposed to soak pit followed by septic tank.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 2-9
2.15.2 Air Pollution Control Measures
Sources of emissions will be flue gas emission from one common stack of 2
nos. of boilers (out of which one will be treated as standby) and one
standby D. G. Set due combustion of fuel. FO will be used as fuel in boiler
and HSD for D. G. Set. There is no need to install APCM as FO is an
environmental friendly fuel and emission will be well within the prescribed
norms. Emitted pollutants from flue gas stack will be SPM, SO2 and NOX.
Alkali scrubber followed by water scrubber will be installed to the stack
attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor. Main
pollutants emitted from process will be HCl, Cl2 and SO2.
Unit also proposes adequate stack height to flue gas stacks & process
stacks for proper dispersion of gaseous emission as per SPCB guideline.
Thus, air pollution control system proposed by the unit will be adequate to
meet gaseous emission norms. The details of stacks with their APC
measures & height are given in Table 2.8.
Fugitive Emission Control
To control fugitive emission, following steps will be implemented in the
proposed unit:
Adequate scrubbing system to absorb the process gas, condensing
systems.
Entire process will be carried out in closed reactors.
Pneumatically transfer of liquid raw material in rector.
Raw material will be stored in the covered structure.
Regular maintenance of valves, pipes etc.
PPE will be provided to the workers.
Frequent work area monitoring will be done ensure fugitive emissions
level.
Greenbelt will be developed around the plant to arrest the fugitive
emission.
2.15.3 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management
Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as per
Hazardous waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary Movement)
Rules, 2008, amended time to time.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 2-10
ETP sludge will be disposed by land filling at approved TSDF site. Waste
carbon, process residue will be incinerated at CHWIF (Common Hazardous
Waste Incineration Facility) approved by RSPCB or send to cement
industries for co-processing. Off specific products will be sent for
Incineration at CHWIF (Common Hazardous Waste Incineration Facility)
approved by RSPCB. Spent oil will be sold to actual users and Drums &
liners will be sold to registered recyclers.
Entire quantity of the hazardous waste will be stored in the isolated
hazardous waste storage area within premises having leachate collection
system and roof cover. Details of hazardous waste disposal are given in
Table 2.11.
2.15.4 Noise Pollution Control
The main noise generating sources in the plant will be boiler, reaction
vessels, APC system, D.G. set, plant & machinery etc. All these sources will
generate continuous noise. However, the noise transmitted outside the
plant boundary will be low because most of the noise generating
equipment will be in closed structures with low noise sources. Ear muff, ear
plug will be provided to all workers working at noisy area.
2.16 RESOURCE CONSERVATION
2.16.1 Rain Water Harvesting
Rain Water Harvesting is a method of utilizing rain water for domestic and
agricultural use is already widely used throughout the world. It is a method
which has been used since ancient times and is increasingly being accepted
as a practical method of providing potable water in development projects
throughout the world. Improve the ground water in Industrial area is one
of the main problems which is being faced by developed countries of the
world.
In Industrial area, charging of underground water in natural way like rural
areas is not taking place due to large sprawl of Industrial activities. But it is
feasible by injecting the water by percolating wells. To considering the
Industrial area and various types of activities may contaminate the rain
water, recharging the rain water by injecting the rain water to underground
aquifers is not advisable. Unit will partial reuse the rain water collect from
rooftop during the rainy season.

3.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF BASELINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
COMPONENTS
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies need a significant amount
of primary and secondary baseline environmental data.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-6
The primary baseline environmental data are those which need to be
collected in the field to define the status of environment (like air quality
data, water quality data, noise quality etc.).
The secondary baseline environmental data are those data which have
been collected over the years and can be used to understand the existing
environmental scenario of the study area by any recognized agencies.
(Such as used IMD data for micrometeorological data- rainfall, humidity
and Census data for Socio Economic etc.)
The environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies are conducted over a
short period of time and therefore the understanding the environmental
trends based on few months of primary data has its own limitations.
Ideally, the primary data has to be considered along with the secondary
data for complete understanding of the existing environmental status of
the area.
3.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified on
the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various process
operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely to be
discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air quality.
The baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions of the
area surrounding the project site have been generated through an
appropriately designed network for monitoring of Ambient Air Quality
(AAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.
3.3.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
The following criteria were taken into account while designing the ambient
air quality-monitoring network:
Topography/Terrain of the study area
Populated areas within the region
Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely
occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions
Representation of regional background
Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind
direction.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-7
3.3.2 Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air
environment in the study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ survey,
within 10 km radial study area around the plant was to establish the
existing ambient air quality levels. Eight Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
(AAQM) stations including project site were selected based on the criteria
used for designing the network. The locations (relative directions and
distances) of these stations with respect to project site are given in Figure
3.6 and details of these stations are described in Table 3.7.
Particulate Matter (PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2),
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), CO, HC (methane & non methane), HCl, Cl2 &
VOCs were identified as significant parameters for ambient air quality
monitoring, particularly because these are likely to be emitted from the
industries and for which ambient air quality standards are prescribed.
The micrometeorological data on wind speed, wind direction, temperature
and relative humidity were collected through a weather monitoring station
for the study period. The baseline status of air quality was monitored
within the study area i.e. 10 km radial distance from project site as per the
terms of reference.
3.3.3 Micrometeorology of the area
The micrometeorological conditions at the project site will regulate the
transport and diffusion of air pollutants released into the atmosphere. The
principle meteorological variables are horizontal convective transport
(average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport
(atmospheric stability, mixing height) and topography of the area.
The data on surface meteorological parameters (hourly average wind speed
and direction) in the study area were collected during the 20th March,
2015 to 15th June, 2015 using portable weather monitoring station
placed at industry site. The sensors of this equipment were kept at about
10 m above ground level with free exposure to the atmosphere all through
the study period in pre monsoon season. In addition, data on temperature
as well relative humidity were also recorded simultaneously using a data
logger.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-8
Wind Rose (Secondary data)
The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind direction and
speed collected for pre monsoon season in the study area. The same, as
depicted in Figure 3.7, shows the predominant wind directions are WNW,
W, WSW & NW implying that wind blows from these directions for most of
the time during the study period. The wind speed class 1-5 kmph occurred
for 3.22%, 6-10 kmph about 27.17%, 11-15 kmph 31.52% and above 15
kmph and below 35 kmph occurred for 28.96% of the study duration and
of the time. The calm condition (below 1 kmph) prevails 9.13% of time.
The wind data generated at site were also compared with the
climatologically data obtained from the closest Indian Meteorological
Department station at Udaipur.
Temperature (Primary data)
During the study period the maximum and minimum temperatures were
recorded as 46.0°C and 21.0°C respectively.
Relative Humidity (Primary data)
During study period at project site during study period, the maximum
relative humidity was recorded as 72% and minimum as 2%.
Rainfall (Primary data)
No rainfall during the study period in the study area except 0.1 mm to 0.2
mm rainfall on 03.06.15 in some part of study area.
Ambient Air Quality Survey
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at eight AAQM
locations, with a frequency of twice a week to assess the existing
sub-regional air quality status in pre monsoon season. The Respirable Dust
Sampler and Fine Particulate Sampler along with the analytical methods
prescribed by CPCB were used for carrying out air quality monitoring. At all
these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO, HC (methane & non
methane), HCl, Cl2 & VOCs were monitored to enable the comparison with
ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control
Board. The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for
different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation,
minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile values.

3.3.4 Baseline Status
The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO, HC
(methane & non methane), HCl, Cl2 & VOCs are presented in Tables 3.9
to 3.13 with interpretation of statistical analysis of observed ambient air
quality data for eight locations. Below results, represent the cross sectional
distribution of baseline air quality status of the study region.
Particulate Matter (PM10)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all the
locations varied between 58.2-65.6 g/m3 and 62.2-72.0 g/m3, which are
well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 100 g/m3.
Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM2.5 values at all the
locations varied between 26.6-37.3 g/m3 and 29.5-40.5 g/m3, which are
well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 60 g/m3.
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic
mean at all the locations ranged between 7.8-13.6 g/m3 and 8.7-15.8
g/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated standards of 80
g/m3.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of arithmetic
mean at all the locations ranged between 9.1-15.9 g/m3 and 10.5-18.8
g/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the standards i.e. 80
g/m3, stipulated by CPCB.
3.4 HYDRO-GEOLOGICAL STATUS OF THE STUDY AREA
Udaipur district is located between 23o46’ & 25o05’ North latitude and
73o09’ & 74o35’ East longitude covering an area of 11630.66 sq. km. The
district is part of Udaipur Division and is divided into seven sub-divisions
namely Girwa, Dhariyawad, Mavali, Vallabhnagar, Kotra, Jhadol and
Salumbar. Administratively the district is divided into 10 tehsils and 11
development blocks.
Rainfall & Climate Average annual rainfall of the district is 657.0 mm.
The southern part of the district receives slightly more rainfall. The mean
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-10
annual rainfall is 854.4 mm at Dhariyawad and minimum average rainfall is
566.7 mm at Sarada.
The climate of the district is dry except S-W monsoon season. The cold
season is from December to February and is followed by summer from
March to June. From mid of September to end of November constitute post
monsoon season.
Geomorphology & Drainage
The district is characterized by undulating topography. Towards the
western part of district, series of Aravalli hills run along NE-SW direction. A
typical plain of gneisses and granites without any alluvium cover is
observed to the east of Aravalli ridges.
The district has a well-developed drainage system. The main rivers of the
district are Jakham, Som, Wakal, Sei, Sabarmati, Gomti and Berach. These
are monsoon fed rivers and flow more rigorously in rainy season.
Jakham, Gomti and Som drain the south eastern plains of the district.
Wakal, Sabarmati and Sei rivers flow through the valley region of Aravalli
ranges in the south west of the district. These rivers have been dammed at
various sites and thus several artificial lakes have been created in the
district. Important ones are Jaisamand, Udaisagar, Pichhola, Fatehsagar,
Som Kagdar and Jakham.
Drainage density in most part of the district varies from 0.5 to 0.7 km/km2.
Drainage density is from 0.7 to more than1 km/km2 in the south eastern
and south western part of the district. In the north central part of the
district its low and ranges between 0.3 to 0.5 km/km2
Geology: The oldest formation exposed in the area belongs to Bhilwara
Super group of Arachean age. The central and western part of the district
is occupied by the younger formations of Aravalli super group and Delhi
super group of Proterozoic age. Quaternary and recent alluvium overlies
most of the formations in isolated patches, along river courses and in the
shallow depressions. Lithology of region is Phyllite, mica schists, meta
siltstone, quartzite, dolomite, gneisses & migmatites.
Hydro-geology: The occurrence of ground water in the district is mainly
controlled by the topographic and structural features present in the
geological formations. Groundwater occurs mainly under unconfined
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-11
condition to semi-confined in saturated zone of rock formation. Its
occurrence is controlled by topography. Physiography and structural
features of the geological formations. The movement of the groundwater in
hard rock areas is governed by size, openness, interconnection and
continuity of structural weak planes while in unconsolidated rocks
groundwater movement takes places through pore space between grains.
The eastern part of the district is underlain by rock belonging to Bhilwara
super group. These aquifers occur predominantly in Bhinder, Salumbar,
Sarada, Mavli Blocks. Few intrusive are also found which have low
permeability. Groundwater in these rocks occurs under water table
conditions in the zone of weathering and fracturing, joints and foliation
planes. When schists are inter mixed with gneisses it forms a better
aquifer. The rate of recuperation is slow in gneisses and schist; it is
comparatively faster in granites. The depth of dug wells ranges from 15 to
35 metres. The depth to water level in the area tapping this aquifer ranges
from 3 m to 35 m. The depth to water level varies widely depending upon
topography, drainage, bedrock geology etc. Depth to water varies from
less than 2 m to more than 31m bgl. In the Mavali area DTW varies from
10 to 20 m.
3.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT
Water is one of the essential requirements of living as well as non-living
elements. Also it is an essential requirement for many of the industrial
activities. The change in quality of water may bring about an adverse
impact on the entire environment. Due to their physical, chemical and
biological interrelations, change in water quality parameter may trigger
changes in other variables. Physico-chemical parameters have been
analyzed to ascertain the baseline status of fresh water.
There are mainly two types of water available in the region: surface water
and ground water.
Surface water: There are surface water bodies like River, lakes, village
pond/reservoir in the study area. Samples are collected from ponds from
Fatehnagar & Wasnikhurd villages. Results of surface water are given in
Table 3.16.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad

3.6 NOISE ENVIRONMENT (PRIMARY DATA)
3.6.1 Introduction
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and
hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise annoying.
The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has an adverse
effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also disturb
natural wildlife and ecological system.
Sound is mechanical energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by cyclic
series of compression and rarefaction of molecules of the materials through
which it passes. Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids and
solids. The number of compressions and refractions of the air molecules in
the unit of time is described as its frequency. Frequency is expressed in
hertz (Hz), which is the same as the number of cycles per second.
3.6.2 Methodology
To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was
conducted using Sound Level Meter at each of the eight locations including
the plant site as shown in Figure 3.9.
3.6.3 Day-Time and Night-Time Noise Levels
Noise survey was carried out once at each of the eight locations in the day
and night time during the study period. Table 3.18 depicts average
Leq(day) and Leq(night) noise levels for all locations.
3.6.4 Ambient Air Quality Standards in Respect to Noise
Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the ambient standards in
respect of noise in Gazette of India dated 14th February, 2000. Table 3.19
depicts these standards in respect of noise.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 3-14
3.6.5 Ambient Noise Levels in the Study Area
The Leq values of noise levels during day-time varied from 47.4 dB(A) to
66.8 dB(A). Highest Leq daytime value was recorded near project site due
to industrial activities. The Leq values of noise levels during night time
varied from 38.3 dB(A) to 60.4 dB(A). Highest Leq value during night time
was also recorded near project site.
3.6.6 Conclusions
The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area
show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement,
commercial and domestic activities in the study area. Generally noise levels
in public places like Bus Stop have higher values in day time. In the study
area higher Noise value during day time was noted near project, due to
industrial activities and it is less than the Ambient standards of industrial
area for day time {75 dB (A)}. Highest results in night time was also
recorded near project site, which is less than the prescribed limit of
industrial area for night time {65 dB (A)}.
3.7 Soil Environment (Primary data)
3.7.1 Introduction
Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a
natural medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated mineral
matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic and
environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for plants and
crops and provide mechanical anchorage and favorable tilth.
The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil locally known as Goradu.
Goradu are nothing but alluvial soils of older origin while Bhatta soils are of
recent origin deposited chiefly along the banks of river. The soils of this
group are moderately deep, well drained, calcareous fine soils on very
gently sloping alluvial plain with slight erosion and moderate salinity;
associated with deep, moderate well drained, calcareous, fine soils with
moderate erosion. The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil with the
following physical and chemical characteristics.

3.7.2 Soil Characteristics
Samples of soils were collected from 6 locations (Project site, Sadipura,
Changeri, Girdharipura, Fatehnagar & Bhumlawas) during the study period
and these locations are shown in Figure 3.10.
The values of important physical and chemical parameters of these soil
samples are depicted in Table 3.20. From the tabulated values, the
following conclusions can be made about the physical and chemical
characteristics of these soil samples.
3.7.3 Corollaries
Physical Parameters
Particle Size: A Particle size of the different constituents (clay, silt, sand
and gravel) controls the porosity and water holding characteristic of the
soil. Clay (size<0.002 mm) amount in the soil samples ranges from 13% to
21%; Silt (size 0.002 to 0.075 mm) in the soil samples is 23% to 29% and
Sand (size 0.075 to 0.475 mm) in the soil samples is 31% to 41%, while
Gravel (size>4.75 mm) in the soil samples is 15% to 26%. Analysis shows
that the soil has moderate water holding capacity.
Porosity: Porosity is a measure of space in between soil particles caused
by structural conditions and determined under identical conditions. Porosity
of soil samples of the study area ranges from 42.5% to 45.7%.
Water Holding Capacity (WHC): Water Holding Capacity (WHC) of soil
samples of the study area ranges between 34.8% to 41.3% and these
being sandy soils are not capable of retaining sufficient water during
irrigation for facilitating the plant growth.
Bulk Density: Bulk Density of soils in the study area is found to be in the
range from 1.34 to 1.42 g/cm3. Bulk density is of greater importance for
characterizing the physical behavior of soils. Generally, soils with low bulk
density have favorable physical conditions (porosity and permeability)
whereas those with high bulk density exhibit poor physical conditions.
Chemical Parameters
pH: pH was determined by taking 1:5 ratio of soil and distilled water. pH of
soils in the study area is found to be in the range of 7.29 to 7.84.
Chloride: Chloride content in soils of the study area is found to be in the
range of 254 to 374 mg/kg.

3.8.2 Period of the study
The baseline study, for the assessment of the floral and faunal biodiversity
of the terrestrial environment of the study area, within 10 km radius from
the site was conducted during 20th March, 2015 to 15th June, 2015.
3.8.3 Study methodology
The study region was earmarked for 10 km radius area and its relevant
baseline data was collected from the Census data book. The survey
methodology was based on the flora and fauna species identification in
personal and recently recorded and found in the region by the localities.
Sampling of grass species was carried out by quadrat sampling method to
examine the species distribution and its frequency in the region.
Quadrat Sampling Method:
A quadrat (or plot-based) survey is a quantitative examination of species
distribution and abundance. Quadrats are more likely to detect
inconspicuous or threatened species because a smaller area is sampled in a
concentrated search. This survey technique also provides a basis for
subsequent monitoring. The survey was carried out for the vegetation
ground cover found in the road edges by 1 m2 quadrat and study on the
edge effect due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. The results and
findings of the same are discussed in the following sections.
3.8.4 Floral species in the study area
This biodiversity is the natural biological capital of the earth, and presents
important opportunities for all nations. It provides goods and services
essential to support human livelihoods and aspirations and enables
societies to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.
In addition, biodiversity maintains the ecological balance necessary for
planetary and human survival.
Species of Herbs, Shrubs, and Trees:
The species of trees, herbs, shrubs and major crops observed in the study
area were identified and presented in the Table 3.22 of this report.
3.8.5 Cultivated plants in the study area
A single crop in kharif is the predominant cropping system in the project
area. In the project site practices legume-wheat- based cropping system.

conducted for the study area of 10 km radius. A faunal biodiversity with
their scientific names and common names is presented in Table 3.23.
3.9 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
An essential part of environmental study is socio-economic environment
incorporating various facts related to socio-economic conditions in the
area, which deals with the total environment.
Socio economic study includes demographic structure of the area, provision
of basic amenities viz., housing, education, health and medical services,
occupation, water supply, sanitation, communication, transportation,
prevailing diseases pattern as well as feature of aesthetic significance such
as temples, historical monuments etc. at the baseline level. This would
help in visualizing and predicting the possible impact depending upon the
nature and magnitude of the project.
Socio-economic study of an area provides a good opportunity to assess the
socio-economic conditions of an area. This study will possibly make a
change in living and social standards of the particular area benefitted due
to the project.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts &
Mitigation Measures 4.1 GENERAL
Environmental Impact can be defined as any change in environmental
conditions which may be adverse or beneficial; occurred due to action or
set of actions under consideration.
Environmental impact can be assessed by identifying the sources of the
impact and predicting the same. The identification of environmental
impacts has been made by co-relating the relationship between project
activity and environmental parameters. The project activities of the
proposed project are usually divided into two phases: Construction Phase
and Operation Phase. The activities like building construction,
transportation of construction material, etc. are usually considered in the
construction phase. While in the operation phase, the activities like
manufacturing process, transportation and storage of raw materials and
finished products, resource consumption, emergency, disaster and
greenbelt development has been considered.
The next step is prediction of impacts, which is an important component in
environmental impact assessment process. Several techniques and
methodologies are in vogue for predicting the impacts due to proposed
industrial development on physical, chemical, biological and socio-
economic components of environment. Such predictions delineate
contribution in existing baseline condition for the proposed project. The
additional impacts due to proposed activities are analyzed by keeping in
mind the baseline status. This helps to assess the assimilative capacity of
the environment and in turn the gravity of the impacts. The third important
component of the environmental assessment is the evaluation. Based on
the identification and prediction of the nature of impact the environment,
the impact can be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively.
As such it becomes important to estimate the peak incremental
concentrations of gaseous pollutants caused due to the emissions from the
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-2
proposed activities. Chapter 2 of this report discusses the details of
pollution sources from the plant.
There are various types of impacts arise arising due to the proposed
activities which will be evaluated considering the following parameters in
construction and operational phase,
Impact on Topography
Impact on Air Environment
Impact on Noise Environment
Impact on Water Environment
Impact on Land Environment (Hazardous/solid waste generation)
Impact on Ecology (Flora and Fauna)
Impact on Socio-Economic Environment
4.2 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
Project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and
construction of shed and storage facilities. The area of the proposed plant
is flat terrain. During construction, excavated soil will be restored to its
original shape. Thus the impact during the construction is reversible, for
short term and insignificant.
During the operation phase of the project, no impact is envisaged on the
topography. Thus, topography will remain unchanged after proposed set up
of unit.
4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Sources of Impact
There are chances of impact on the air environment due to installation of
machineries during construction phase and due to gaseous emission from
the flue and process gas stacks and fugitive emission during operational
phase.
4.3.1 Prediction of impact during Construction Phase
The source of air emission during the construction will include dust from
site cleaning, excavation of the plant area, construction activity etc. These
emissions are expected to result in change in baseline air quality, primarily
in the working area only. Dust and other emissions are not likely to spread
in wider area and not affect homes and other properties. Dust will generate
within working areas and measures will be taken to protect workers. Some
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-3
fugitive emission will generate from transportation of raw material within
the plant premises for construction and vehicular movement. To mitigate
the impact of fugitive emission due to Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),
regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the construction
activities.
4.3.2 Prediction of Impact during Operational Phase
Mathematical model used for predictions of impact includes steady state
Gaussian Plume Dispersion model designed for multiple point sources.
The impacts on air quality from project depend on various factors like
design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be
used, air pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart
from the above, other activities associated with any project, viz.,
transportation of fuel, raw materials and finished products, storage
facilities and material handling within the plant premises may also
contribute to air pollution.
(a) Sources of Air Pollution (Point Source)
Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.
Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of Boilers (out
of which, one will be treated as standby) due to combustion of fuel. FO will
be used as fuel. There will be no need to install APCM as FO is an
environmental friendly fuel.
Process emission will be from stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin
reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor. Alkali scrubber followed by water
scrubber will be installed to the stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin
reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor.
Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity which will be treated
as standby and use in case of non-availability of power and/or emergency,
where HSD will be used as a fuel.
Emitted flue gas pollutants will be SPM, SO2 and NOx and main pollutants
from process stacks will be HCl, Cl2 and SO2. Adequate stack height to the
flue gas stack and process gas stack has been provided for proper
dispersion of gaseous emission. Estimated emission levels of stack are
given in Table: 4.1. The results show that all parameters are well within
the stipulated norms.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-4
(b) Fugitive Emission
The fugitive emissions may be from leakage through valves, fittings,
pumps, etc. Excess use of solvent may also results in the fugitive emission
from the process vessels. The fugitive pollutants such as RPM, Acid fumes,
VOCs are likely to emit from process area. However it will be within
acceptable level.
Unit proposes to adopt following measures:
Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipments to
prevent leakage and thus minimize the fugitive emissions of VOCs.
Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with proper
maintenance of pressure and temperature.
Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive
emission.
PPE will be provided to the workers.
To mitigate the impact due to Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),
following control measures will be implemented:
Paved road will be developed inside the plant premises.
Regular monitoring of housekeeping will be carried out.
Speed of the vehicle will be controlled.
Construction material will be stored separately and covered to control
dust emission due to wind.
Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery will be carried out.
PUC certified vehicles will be used.
Ambient air quality monitoring will be done at strategic location.
To reduce the pollutant emitted during transportation, the unit will
adopt the practice of regular check-up and maintenance of vehicular
engines for complete combustion of the fuel.
Water sprinkler will be provided to reduce the dusting from road
transportation.
4.3.3 Dispersion Modeling of Emissions from the plant
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level
concentration during the operation of proposed activities and its impact on
ambient air quality of the area. The ground level concentrations of
pollutants have been computed using computer simulation model Industrial
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-5
Source Complex Short Term (ISCST-3) of United State Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) and considering guidelines stipulated by CPCB
for air pollution dispersion modeling. The key emitted pollutants will be
Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen
Oxide (NOx), HCl & Cl2.
4.3.4 Micrometeorology
The hourly wind speed, solar insolation and total cloudiness during day
time and wind speed and total cloudiness during night time were used to
determine the hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by Pasquill and
Gifford as A to F, A being most unstable and F being most stable). The
hourly stability classes were determined based on the technique suggested
by Turner.
Turner’s system used for determining the stability classes is as follows:
- For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling <7000
ft (2134 m), NR=0
- For night-time (defined as period from one hour before sunset to one
hour after sunrise):
a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2
b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1
- For daytime: determine isolation class number (IN)
a) If TC<5/10, use NR=IN
b) If TC>5/10, modify IN by the sum of the following applicable criteria
If ceiling<7000 ft (2134m), modification = -2
If ceiling>7000 ft but <16000 ft (4877 m), modification = -1
- If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification = -1, and let modified
value of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1.
During the study period, stability calculated based on above-mentioned
Turner method gives average stability as A-B class during Day time and E
class during Night time. Average micro meteorological data of 20th March,
2015 to 15th June, 2015 is used.
4.3.5 Air Quality Modeling and Predictions using the Gaussian Model
(ISCST-3)
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level
concentration during the operation of proposed plant and its impact on
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-6
ambient air quality of the area. The impact on air quality due to emissions
from single source or group of sources is evaluated by use of mathematical
models. When air pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere, they are
immediately diffused into surrounding atmosphere, transported and diluted
due to winds. The air quality models are designed to simulate these
processes mathematically and to relate emissions of primary pollutants to
the resulting downwind air quality. The inputs include emissions,
meteorology and surrounding topographic details to predict the impacts of
conservative pollutants.
The impacts of air pollutants were predicted using Gaussian air dispersion
model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple point sources
within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the project site. The
Gaussian air dispersion model has been developed to simulate the effect of
emissions from point sources on air quality. Gaussian model is extensively
used for predicting the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) of conservative
pollutants from point, area and volume sources. The impacts of primary air
pollutants are predicted using this air quality model keeping in view the
plain terrain at the project site. The micrometeorological data monitored at
project site during study period have been used in this model.
The Gaussian model provides estimates of pollutant concentrations at
various receptor locations. It is, an hour-by-hour steady state Gaussian
model which takes into account the following:
Terrain adjustments
Stack-tip downwash
Gradual plume rise
Buoyancy-induced dispersion, and
Complex terrain treatment and consideration of partial reflection
Plume reflection off elevated terrain
Building down wash
Partial penetration of elevated inversions is accounted for Hourly
source emission rates, exit velocity and stack gas temperature
Gaussian air dispersion models were used to estimate the ambient air
quality levels at the different monitoring stations due to stack emissions.
Only two stability conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-7
to calculate the theoretical maximum ground level concentration.
Comparing the actual data and data generated from mathematical
modeling, it highlights that the stability condition E & A-B were
predominant in the region. Using the estimated stack emission data and
wind speed directions, a mathematical model was prepared to establish the
ground level concentration in the region.
4.3.6 Details of Air Dispersion Model
Prediction of GLC values are made by using Industrial Source Complex
Short Term Model Version-3 (ISCST-3) software approved by U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This model uses a steady state,
sector-averaged Gaussian plume equation for application in complex
terrain (i.e. terrain stack or release height) and is run using stability
classes developed by Pasquill and Gifford.
Following are the assumptions made while using the model:
- No dry and wet depletion of pollutants
- Receptors are on flat terrain with no flag pole
(a) Input data for air quality modeling
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term
incremental GLC values of PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 using one season
meteorological data collected at site during 20th March, 2015 to 15th
June, 2015. Input data is given in Table 4.1.
(b) Source Characteristics/Release Characteristics
The details of stack emissions (with and without APCM) are given in Table
4.2 and cumulative Concentrations at various locations are given as Table
4.3.
(c) Meteorological Parameters
Hourly meteorological data collected at site for the period of 20th March,
2015 to 15th June, 2015 have been used for computing the
meteorological parameters.
(d) Dispersion Modeling Results
The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from
proposed project have been computed for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2
considering topographical features around the proposed plant and
applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-8
for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 from proposed plants are given in Table 4.4 to
Table 4.8. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in Figure 4.1 to
Figure 4.5.
4.3.7 Predicted GLCs of Proposed Plant
It is predicted that highest 24–hourly incremental GLC value for SPM, SO2,
NOx, HCl and Cl2 are 0.370 g/m3, 0.118 g/m3, 0.105 g/m3, 0.042 g/m3
and 0.011 g/m3 respectively. The point of maximum concentration by unit
would be 1.41 km from center of industry in SE direction.
With this marginal contribution due to the proposal of the project, the
levels of PM10, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 will remain well below the 24 –hourly
ambient air quality standards for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM10 (100 g/m3),
PM2.5 (60 g/m3), HCl, Cl2 (norms not prescribed by CPCB) prescribed by
CPCB. The 24-hourly average GLC Values for SPM, SO2 and NOX are
reported in Table 4.4 to Table 4.8. The operation of proposed plant is not
likely to cause any significant impact on the ambient air quality of the
study area.
4.4 WATER ENVIRONMENT
(A) Sources of Impacts
The main sources of impact on water environment will be due to
requirement of fresh water during construction and operation phase. These
are discussed below:
Prediction of Impact during-
Construction phase
During construction activities, required quantity of water will be met
through tanker from local bodies. No disposal of construction waste outside
the plant and no leaching are anticipated. Thus, the quality and quantity of
ground water will not have any adverse impact during construction phase.
Operational Phase
Total water demand during operational phase will be 216.5 KLD. Out of
which, 143 KLD will be fresh water requirement and 73.5 KLD will be met
from recycle/treated water (permeate from RO and condensate recovery
from MEE). Fresh water will be required during operation of the plant for
process, utilities, washing & domestic purpose. Raw water requirement for
proposed project will be met through tanker from local bodies. However,
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-9
unit will also recharge ground water through ground water recharging
structures.
(B) Impact Assessment
As fresh water will be met from through tanker from local bodies, there will
be slight impact on the ground water table. However, it will be balanced by
recharging ground water during the monsoon season. For that, Industry
has proposed to develop recharging sump at low lying area which will be
connected to the storm water drainage system to recharging the ground
water during the rain. Thus, by recharging the ground water during the
rain, unit will contribute to balance groundwater.
Entire quantity of generated wastewater will be treated in ETP. Treated
water from ETP will be passed through RO & reject of RO will be sent to
MEE for further treatment. RO permeate & Condensate from MEE will be
reused for utility & greenbelt development, so there will be no effluent
discharge outside the premises from unit. The other source of wastewater
generation will be domestic wastewater of 5.0 KL/day; which will be
disposed off to soak pit through septic tank. Thus, there will not be any
major impact on the water environment due to proposed activities.
4.5 NOISE LEVEL IMPACT
Any unwanted sound that creates disturbance in hearing is termed as
Noise. Hence, it is important to assess the present noise quality of the area
in order to predict the potential impact of future noise levels due to the
proposed project. During construction phase, the impact on noise
environment will be due to construction equipments and machineries while
during the operational phase the impact on noise environment will be due
to boiler, D.G. set, manufacturing activities, transportation etc. activities.
4.5.1 Prediction of Impact during Construction Phase
The noise generates during construction phase may have significant impact
on the existing ambient noise levels. As this is a new project, construction
activities will be carried out as per the plant design. Furthermore, noise will
also be generated due to installation of new machineries and equipments.
However, these impacts will be very minor and temporary in nature. The
noise impact will be relatively more on construction workers during their
duty hours, which will be mitigated by use of personal protective devices
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-10
like ear muffs/plugs etc. All over the impact will be very minor and
temporary in nature.
4.5.2 Prediction of Impact during Operational Phase
The main sources of noise within the plants will be operation of boiler, D.G.
Set, material handling systems & other machineries, process plant.
Suitable noise control system will be provided to ensure that noise does
not exceed the limit. Noise level shall, however, exceed the above limits for
a short period during start-up of equipments. Other sources of noise are
the movement of vehicles along the road. However, proper noise
preventive measures have been taken to minimize the noise pollution like
ear plugs, dampers to the boilers, efficient silencers to the vehicles, etc.
The results of baseline monitoring carried out in the region have been
presented in Chapter-3. The results are below the standards prescribed for
Industrial environment. It can be concluded that, the impact on noise
environment will be long term but insignificant. The mitigation measures
proposed for minimising impacts on noise quality are provided in Chapter
10.
4.6 LAND/SOIL ENVIRONMENT
The main source of impact on land and soil environment will be due to
construction activities and hazardous waste disposal.
4.6.1 PREDICTION OF IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
As this is a new project, there will be construction activities to be carried
out. There will also be installation of new machineries and equipments. But
all this would not make a huge damage to the present condition of land.
Further the area of the plant is flat. Leveling would not be required. Thus,
topography will also remain unchanged after execution of the proposal.
Thus, the impact on the land/soil during the construction will for short
terms and insignificant.
4.6.2 PREDICTION OF IMPACT DURING OPERATION PHASE
(SOLID/HAZARDOUS WASTE)
Hazardous/solid waste generation will be the main source of impact on the
soil environment. Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and
disposed as per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans
boundary movement) Rules’2008, amended time to time.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-11
Source of haz. waste generation will be ETP sludge, waste carbon, process
residue, Off specific products, Discarded containers/liners, Used Lubricating
Oil. ETP sludge will be disposed by land filling at approved TSDF site.
Waste carbon, process residue will be incinerated at CHWIF (Common
Hazardous Waste Incineration Facility) approved by RSPCB or send to
cement industries for co-processing. Off specific products will be sent for
Incineration at CHWIF (Common Hazardous Waste Incineration Facility)
approved by RSPCB. Spent oil will be sold to actual users and drums &
liners will be sold to registered recyclers.
Entire quantity of the hazardous waste will be stored in the isolated
hazardous waste storage area within premises having leachate collection
system and roof cover. During the operation phase, there are chances of
spillage of raw materials/chemicals. This may also contaminate soil and
land. Thus, after taking adequate steps for the hazardous waste storage,
there will be insignificant impact on the environment due to proposed
project activities.
4.7 ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS (FLORA AND FAUNA)
Impacts of the proposed activities on the ecological environment like
natural vegetation, crops, species diversity is summarized here. This is a
Greenfield project; hence cutting of trees/shrubs will be done to clean the
area. However, it will be balance by developing greenbelt within premises
and along the roads. Various trees, shrubs and herbs are found in and
around it, a list of which is given in baseline. None of the plants are in the
list of endangered plant species. Also, the trees are identified for their
sensitivity & pollution tolerance capacity.
This concept helps to plan the greenbelt of the area making it less polluted
and a pollution absorber.
The high stomatal Index of Azadirachta indica, makes them susceptible to
SO2. However, the SO2 emissions from the industry will be within limits.
Hence, no major adverse impact is expected on these plants with the
increased emissions. The high SPM levels may harm leaves by blocking
stomata and thus interfering with exchange of gases during photosynthesis
and respiration. The site is not subjected to high-speed winds and the
plants can be expected to be free from any major impacts of SPM on
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 4-12
plants. Thus, there will not be any significant impact on ecological
environment due to proposed project activities.
4.8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT
Proposed project will be of large scale, but no rehabilitation and
resettlement will be involved. The operation of plant will require educated
and trained manpower. The surrounding area has got good educational
facilities at Udaipur. The operation of the plant requires total workforce of
70 persons. Thus, increasing industrial activity will boost up the
commercial and economical status of the locality to some extent.
Thus, overall impacts on socio-economic environment due to the existence
of plant are long term and positive in nature.

5.1 PROLOGUE:
Alternative analysis is the process of analyzing the proposed locating for
suitability for basic necessities to operate the plant safely, this analysis
also covers the environmental aspect of pollution prevention and
improvement in quality of life nearby the project vicinity. The project
alternative is the course of action in pace of another, that would meet the
same purpose and need, but which would avoid or minimize negative
impacts and enhance project benefits.
Such projects may result in specific impacts which can be avoided or
mitigated by adherence to certain predetermined performance standards,
guidelines or design criteria. Alternative approaches may therefore be more
effective in integrating environmental and social concerns into the project
planning process.

Industrial area, Village: Sanwad, Tehsil: Mavli, Dist.: Udaipur, Rajasthan
(India). Above activities falls under 5(b) category - Pesticides industry and
pesticides specific Agrochemical intermediates (excluding formulations) and
therefore prior EC is required.
5.3 SITE ALTERNATIVE
The project site is in proximity of Udaipur district of Rajasthan State. Site
is located in notified/designated Industrial estate developed by Rajasthan
State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation (RIICO).

Availability of suitable and adequate land;
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 5-2
Availability of all basic facilities like infrastructure, communication,
medical facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled & skilled manpower,
raw materials, road network etc.
As the proposed project is in the notified/designated Industrial estate
there is no rehabilitation and resettlement involved.
Nearest city Udaipur is @55.0 km away from the location, which is
having connectivity with other parts of the country by road, rail & air.
Availability of good communication and transportation facilities.
No National park or wildlife habitat falls within 10 km radial distance
from proposed project site.
No critically polluted area falls within 10 km radius.
The location of project is best suited to start above manufacturing
activities. So no alternative for site is analyzed.
5.4 ALTERNATIVE FOR TECHNOLOGIES
Particular Proposed Technology Alternatives
Water Effluent treatment plant
consisting of primary and
tertiary treatment units
followed by RO & MEE.
Domestic wastewater will be
disposed off to soak pit
followed by septic tank.
Proposed ETP is adequate to
achieve norms fixed by
concern authorities.
Air No need to provide APCM to
flue gas stacks as FO will be
used as fuel; which is an
environment friendly fuel.
Alkali scrubber followed by
water scrubber proposed for
process stacks.
Not recommended as
proposed APCM is adequate
to keep emission within limit.
Solid/
Hazardous
waste
Haz. Waste will be stored in
separate storage area and
finally disposed to approve
TSDF site, to CHWI facility &
disposal by selling to
registered recycler.
As proposed disposal facilities
are safe disposal facilities and
also guided by authority. No
thoughts are required to
switching on other alternative.

Environmental Monitoring Program
6.1 PRELUDE
Environment monitoring is the sampling and analysis tool to know the
environment conditions at particular time. The record of environmental
monitoring is most important as the environmental changes are slow in
nature and impact appears after many years. Environmental Monitoring is
the technical heart of assessment of environmental and social impacts
arising due to implementation of the proposed project. An equally essential
element of this process is to develop measures to eliminate, offset or
reduce impacts to acceptable levels during implementation and operation
of projects. The integration of such measures into project implementation
and operation is supported by clearly defining the environmental
requirements within an Environmental Management Plan.
Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. (RCPPL) proposed to start pesticides
and pesticide specific intermediates manufacturing activities at Plot No. G-
154, 155, 156, 157, 164, 165, 166, 167, RIICO Industrial area, Village:
Sanwad, Tehsil: Mavli, Dist.: Udaipur, Rajasthan (India).
Environment Monitoring Program:
The continuous monitoring of Environmental parameters like air, water,
noise, soil and meteorological data and performance of pollution control
facilities and safety measures in the plant are vital for proper
environmental management of any industrial project. Therefore, the
company shall create environmental monitoring facilities by the
environmental and safety department to monitor air and water pollutants
as per the guideline of SPCB and CPCB. Moreover; air, water and soil shall
be monitored by outside agencies authorized by SPCB at regular
frequencies. This department shall also carry out periodical checkup of fire
and safety equipments.
6.2 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN
The basic objective for implementing a monitoring plan on a regular basis
is as follows:
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 6-2
Know the pollution status within the plant and its vicinity.
Generate data for corrective action in respect of pollution.
Correlate the production operations with emission and control
mechanism.
Examine the performance of pollution control system.
Assess the Environmental impacts.
Remedial measures and environment management plant to reverse
the impacts.
6.3 SCHEDULES FOR ENVIRONMENT MONITORING
The environmental monitoring will be scheduled on regular interval to
assess the conditions. The record of these monitoring will be compared
with the baseline study to know the changes in environmental conditions.
The post-project environmental monitoring suggested herewith should be
as per the following guideline. The highlights of the integrated
environmental monitoring plan are:
The stack monitoring facilities like ladder, platform and porthole at all
the stacks will be maintained in good condition.
Regular monitoring of all gaseous emissions from stacks/vents.
The performance of air pollution control equipment evaluated based
on these monitoring results.
Water consumption will be recorded daily.
As far as possible, noise curbed at its source, with the help of
acoustic hoods and other such noise reducing equipment. Regular
noise level monitoring will be carried out.
Greenbelt will be properly maintained and new plantation
programmes will be undertaken frequently.
Continuous environmental awareness programmes will be carried out
for the employees and also in the surrounding villages.
6.4 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING
Scheme for monitoring of ambient air quality stack emissions and fugitive
emissions are proposed. The ambient air quality monitoring systems are
recommended for monitoring the ground level concentrations and fugitive
emissions around the plant. Unit should install three monitoring stations
around its array limit (at 1200 as per guideline) for monitoring PM, SO2 and
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 6-3
NOx. The combined data will provide overall characteristic and emission
from the industry. For this, the following equipment is recommended to be
procured or hire the services from Environmental consultant by the project
proponent for implementing the above mentioned monitoring schemes:
Respirable Dust Sampler
Blower - 1.0-1.5 m3/min capacity with adapter for uniform suction
through filter and a properly calibrated manometer assembly for the
determination of flow rate through filter paper.
Rota meter - For gaseous sampling calibrated Rota meter (0-5 LPM) for
maintaining flow rate should be provided.
Main housing - The main housing should be rectangular with a stand of
about 1.25 m height. Besides this, stack emissions monitoring as per SPCB
guidelines shall be carried out.
Water Environment
Entire quantity of wastewater will be treated in ETP. Treated water from
ETP will be passed through RO & reject of RO will be sent to MEE for
further treatment. RO permeate & condensate from MEE will be reused for
utility & greenbelt development, so there will be no effluent discharge from
unit.
Noise Environment
Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of maintenance
schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise protection
measures. A good quality digital sound level meter is essential for this
purpose.
Transportation:
All the necessary precaution will be taken while carrying out transport of
the materials as per the Hazardous rules of transportation, Central Motor
Vehicle Act-1988 & 1989. The vehicle for transportation of raw materials
and products will be parked at specified loading facilities where there will
be a provision of fire extinguishers.

Additional Studies (Risk Assessment)
A. HAZARDS ANALYSIS & RISK ASSESSMENT
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Industrial plants deal with materials, which are generally hazardous in
nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their operating
temperatures or pressures or a combination of these. Fire, explosion, toxic
release or combinations of these are the hazards associated with industrial
plants using hazardous chemicals. More comprehensive, systematic and
sophisticated methods of Safety Engineering, such as, Hazard Analysis
and Quantitative Risk Assessment have now been developed to improve
upon the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial plants.
The primary emphasis in safety engineering is to reduce risk to human life,
property and environment. Some of the more important methods used to
achieve this are:
Quantitative Risk Analysis: Provides a relative measure of the
likelihood and severity of various possible hazardous events by
critically examining the plant process and design.
Work Safety Analysis: The technique discerns whether the plant
layout and operating procedures in practice have any inherent
infirmities.
Safety Audit: Takes a careful look at plant operating conditions, work
practices and work environments to detect unsafe conditions.
Together, these three broad tools attempt to minimize the chances of
accidents occurring. Yet, there always exists, no matter how remote,
probability of occurrence of a major accident. If the accident involves
highly hazardous chemicals in sufficiently large quantities, the
consequences may be serious to the plant, to surrounding areas and the
populations residing therein.
7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
M/s. Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. (henceforth RCPPL), proposes to
manufacture different types of crop protection products (Pesticides) at Plot
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-2
No. G-154, 155, 156, 157, 164, 165, 166, 167, RIICO Industrial area,
Village: Sanwad, Tehsil: Mavli, Dist.: Udaipur, Rajasthan (India).
A three „levels‟ risk assessment approach has been adopted for the RCPPL
facilities. The risk assessment levels are generally consistent with the
practices encountered through various assignments for medium and large
chemical complexes. The brief outline of the three tier approach is given
below:
Level 1 - Risk Screening
This is top-down review of worst-case potential hazards/risks, aimed
primarily at identifying plant sites or areas within plant, which pose the
highest risk. Various screening factors considered include:
Inventory of hazardous materials;
Hazardous Materials properties;
Storage conditions (e.g. temperature and pressure);
Location sensitivity (distance to residential areas/populace).
The data/information is obtained from plant. The results provide a relative
indication of the extent of hazards and potential for risk exposure.
Level 2 - Major Risk Survey (Semi - Quantitative)
The survey approach combines the site inspection with established risk
assessment techniques applied both qualitative as well quantitative mode.
The primary objective is to identify and select major risks at a specific
location in the plant considering possible soft spots/weak links during
operation/maintenance. Aspects covered in the risk usually include:
Process Hazards;
Process Safety Management Systems;
Fire Protection and Emergency response equipments and
programs.
Security Vulnerability;
Impact of hazards consequences (equipment damage, business
interruption, injury, fatalities);
Qualitative risk identification of scenarios involving hazardous
materials;
Risk reduction measures.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-3
Selection of critical scenarios and their potential of damage provide means
of prioritising mitigative measures and allocate the resources to the areas
with highest risks.
Level 3 – Quantitative Risk Assessment (Deterministic)
This is the stage of assessment of risks associated with all credible hazards
(scenarios) with potential to cause an undesirable outcome such as human
injury, fatality or destruction of property. The four basic elements include:
i. Hazards identification utilising formal approach (Level 2, HAZOP
etc.);
ii. Frequency Analysis. Based on past safety data (incidents/accidents);
Identifying likely pathway of failures and quantifying the toxic /
inflammable material release;
iii. Hazards analysis to quantify the consequences of various hazards
scenarios (fire, explosion, BLEVE, toxic vapour release etc.).Establish
minimum value for damage (e.g. IDLH, over pressure, radiation flux)
to assess the impact on environment.
iv. Risk Quantification: Quantitative techniques are used considering
effect/impact due to weather data, population data, and frequency of
occurrences and likely hood of ignition/ toxic release. Data are
analysed considering likely damage (in terms of injury/fatality,
property damage) each scenarios is likely to cause.
QRA provides a means to determine the relative significance of a
number of undesired events, allowing analyst and the team to focus
their risk reduction efforts where they will be beneficial most.
M/s. Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. (RCPPL) proposed manufacturing
activity may involve few hazardous process steps/materials under adequate
safety parameters as required therein. The QRA for this plant is based on
Level 1 and Level 2.
Chapter 2 (Project Description) gives the bulk storages of liquid and
gaseous raw materials and their monthly consumption.
7.3 RISK SCREENING APPROACH
Proposed Plant: Risk screening of M/s. Rotam Crop Protection Pvt.
Ltd. (RCPPL) plant was undertaken through process study and study of
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-4
data/information provided by RCPPL. Data of major/ bulk storages of raw
materials, intermediates and other chemicals were collected. MSDS of
hazardous chemicals were studied vis a vis their inventories and mode of
storage. RCPPL plant will be using number of hazardous chemicals and also
producing pesticides and all are hazardous in nature. The chemicals stored
in bulk (liquid or gaseous) and defined under MSHIC Rule will be considered
for detailed analysis.
All RCPPL pesticides are hazardous in nature. However, hazards potential
(for damage) of products and other materials to plant personnel,
environment and off-site area is different for different materials. RCPPL will
be using nearly large number of raw materials but only 12 are liquid
chemicals stored in bulk. In addition, hydrogen gas is also used in one of
the process in small quantity. It is procured in small cylinders (0.5 kg
each). Most of these bulk stored chemicals are listed under “List of
hazardous and Toxic Chemicals” category under MSIHC Rules, 1989. The
raw materials coming under hazardous category as specified by MSIHC
Rules, 1989 (including subsequent amendments) is given in Table 7.1

As detailed in the above table, out of 11 hazardous raw materials stored in
bulk; four are toxic (HCl, Caustic Soda, Toluene and Methanol), seven are
inflammable, all except one (DMF) are listed in MSIHC Rules. Hydrogen
though stored in small quantity is highly inflammable/explosive gas.FO is
the main fuel stored in bulk.
Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs)
AEGL-3 is "the airborne concentration of a substance above which it is
predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,
could experience life-threatening adverse health effects or death."
AEGL-2 is "the airborne concentration of a substance above which it is
predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,
could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health
effects or an impaired ability to escape."
AEGL-1 is "the airborne concentration of a substance above which it is
predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,
could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic
non-sensory effects.
Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPGs)
The 3 ERPG tiers are defined as follows:
ERPG-3 is "the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects."
ERPG-2 is "the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health effects or
symptoms which could impair an individual's ability to take protective
action."
ERPG-1 is "the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing other than mild transient health effects or perceiving a clearly
defined, objectionable odor."
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-9
Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits (TEELs)
TEELs are used in similar situations as the 60-minute AEGLs and ERPGs.
However, in situations where the concentration varies over time, the
TEEL developers recommend using a conservative 15-minute time-
weighted average concentration. A chemical may have up to 4 TEEL
values, each of which corresponds to a specific tier of health effects.
The 4 TEEL tiers are defined as follows:
TEEL-3 is "the maximum concentration in air below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects."
TEEL-2 is "the maximum concentration in air below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or developing
irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms that could impair
their abilities to take protective action."
TEEL-1 is "the maximum concentration in air below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing other than
mild transient health effects or perceiving a clearly defined objectionable
odor."
TEEL-0 is "the threshold concentration below which most people will
experience no appreciable risk of health effects."
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) defines
an immediately dangerous to life or health condition as a situation "that
poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants when that exposure is
likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health
effects or prevent escape from such an environment."
The IDLH limit represents the concentration of a chemical in the air to
which healthy adult workers could be exposed (if their respirators fail)
without suffering permanent or escape-impairing health effects.
7.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE
The solid raw materials will be received in bags or drums and will be stored
in chemicals godowns. The products (liquid or solid) will be packed in drums
and stored in product godowns as per market demand. The bulk storages of
liquid hazardous materials are given in the Table 7.2 below:

The solid products powder or granules spillage can results in polluting small
area only. The damage to personnel can be through ingress- dermal (if
individual come in contact), oral (if individual food gets infected through
fugitive dust) or inhalation (fugitive dust). The main route is fugitive dust
which in covered area will move to short distance only.
The risk is through liquid products which are volatile material. The toxic
vapours due to spillage of such material can travel to some distance (as
they are stored in covered godowns) and cause damage. The liquid
products will be packed in drums (50 litres, 100 litres or 200 litres drums).
Gaseous materials are more prone to spread to long distances and can have
adverse impact depending upon GLC and toxicity/ flammability.
7.5 QRA Approach
Identification of hazards and likely scenarios (based on Level-1 and Level-2
activities) calls for detailed analysis of each scenario for potential of
damage, impact area (may vary with weather conditions/wind direction)
and safety system in place. Subsequently each incident is classified
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-11
according to relative risk classifications provided in Table below as Table
7.3:
Table 7.3 Risk Classification
Stage Description
High
(> 10-2/yr.)
A failure which could reasonably be expected to occur within the
expected life time of the plant.
Examples of high failure likelihood are process leaks or single
instrument or valve failures or a human error which could result
in releases of hazardous materials.
Moderate
(10-2 --10-4/yr)
A failure or sequence of failures which has a low probability of
occurrence within the expected lifetime of the plant.
Examples of moderate likelihood are dual instrument or valve
failures, combination of instrument failures and human errors,
or single failures of small process lines or fittings.
Low
(<10-4)
A failure or series of failures which have a very low probability
of occurrence within the expected lifetime of plant.
Examples of „low‟ likelihood are multiple instruments or valve
failures or multiple human errors, or single spontaneous failures
of tanks or process vessels.
Minor Incidents Impact limited to the local area of the event with potent for
„knock – on- events‟
Serious
Incident
One that could cause:
Any serious injury or fatality on/off site;
Property damage of $ 1 million offsite or $ 5 million onsite.
Extensive
Incident
One that is five or more times worse than a serious incident.
Assigning a relative risk to each scenario provides a means of prioritising
associated risk mitigation measures and planned actions.
7.6 THERMAL HAZARDS
In order to understand the damages produced by various scenarios, it is
appropriate to understand the physiological/physical effects of thermal
radiation intensities. The thermal radiation due to tank fire usually results in
burn on the human body. Furthermore, inanimate objects like equipment,
piping, cables, etc. may also be affected and also need to be evaluated for
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-12
damages. Table 7.4, Table 7.5 and Table 7.6 (below), respectively give
tolerable intensities of various objects and desirable escape time for
thermal radiation.
Thermal hazards could be from fires or explosion. Fire releases energy
slowly while explosion release energy very rapidly (typically in micro
seconds). Explosion is rapid expansion of gases resulting in rapidly moving
shock wave. Explosion can be confined (within a vessel or building) or
unconfined (due to release of flammable gases).
BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion) occurs if a vessel
containing a liquid at a temperature above its atmospheric boiling point
ruptures. The subsequent BLEVE is the explosive vaporisation of large
fraction of its vapour contents; possibly followed by combustion or
explosion of the vaporised cloud if it is combustible.
Thermal hazards have been considered for various scenarios including:
Fire in inflammable chemicals storage tanks.

7.7 DAMAGE DUE TO EXPLOSION
The explosion of a dust or gas (either as a deflagration or detonation)
results in a reaction front moving outwards from the ignition source
preceded by a shock wave or pressure front. After the combustible material
is consumed the reaction front terminates but the pressure wave continues
its outward movement. Blast damage is based on the determination of the
peak overpressure resulting from the pressure wave impacting on the
object or structure. Damage estimates based on overpressure are given in
Table 7.7 below:

7.8 TOXIC RELEASE
Hazardous materials handled and stored in bulk in RCPPL complex are one
gas Hydrogen and liquids (as detailed in Table 7.2). The hazardous nature
of these bulk stored materials are defined in MSHIC rules and indicated in
Table 7.1. Some of these chemicals are stored in tank farm.
Most of the pesticides products are new molecules with unique properties.
The main use of these pesticides molecules are to kill insects, pests or
other small organism which are harmful or do damage to the human
system directly or indirectly. The new pesticides molecules are made
because harmful organisms are becoming immune to existing pesticides or
the existing pesticides are doing more damage to human than giving
benefits.
7.8.1 Data Limitations
It is also observed that very little data or information (regarding physical
properties required for modelling) is available about the pesticides
products. Considering these aspects modelling are based on the physical
properties of solvents or other chemicals (more volatile) used in the
manufacture of pesticides.
7.8.2 Likely Failure Scenarios
Few likely failure scenarios have been selected after critical appraisal of
raw materials, the hazardous nature and storage inventories. Failure
scenarios selected are as given in Table 7.8 below:

B. QUANTATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT & CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
7.9 PREAMBLE
In the previous Chapter, we have carried out the hazards analysis of the
RCPPL complex considering various aspects including bulk storages of
hazardous chemicals, plant process system, plant incidents/accidents
records, critical appraisal and discussion at site for soft spots in the plant etc.
Based on the hazards analysis, 7 critical scenarios have been selected for
QRA and consequence analysis. QRA quantifies vulnerable zones for a
conceived incident with various levels of severity. Consequence calculations
for risk assessment are invariably in terms of percentage of fatalities but for
emergency handling, fatalities are of no interest saving lives is the main
objectives then. The injury criteria have to be agreed in terms of thermal
load or toxic concentration versus exposure duration in the first instance.
In consequence calculation, use is made of a number of calculation models to
estimate the physical effects of an accident (spill of hazardous material) and
to predict the damage (lethality, injury, material destruction, other property
damage). The risk assessment modelling can be roughly divided into three
groups:
Determination of source strength parameters;
Determination of consequential effects;
Determination of damage or damage distances (with specific severity
rates)
7.9.1 Weather Effect
The effect of ambient conditions on the impact of fire/ heat radiation and
GLC of hazardous/toxic material can be beneficial as well as harmful. A high
wind (turbulence) can dilute the toxic material while stable environment can
extend the reach of IDLH or IT (inhalation LC50 rats for products)
concentration to long distance. Any inflammable gas/vapour release in
turbulent weather will soon dilute the hazardous gases below LEL and thus
save the disaster.
7.10 INCIDENTS IMPACTS
The identified failure scenarios (Table 7.8) have been analysed (Using
ALOHA and EFFECT Modules) for the impact zones considering damage due to

thermal and toxic impacts. Similar impacts are considered for expansion
units. Each incident will have Impact on the surrounding environment which
in extreme case may cross plant boundary. The impact zones for various
scenarios are given in Table 7.9.

7.11 CONSEQUENTIAL IMPACTS
The consequential impacts from each incident scenarios can be though
thermal, over pressure wave and toxic route. The damage can be on plant
personnel (and neighbouring residents in case incident crosses boundary),
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-19
property and also loss in production. The impact zones for some of the
hazards are shown in the figures. In RCPPL none of the incidents are likely to
cross plant boundary.
7.11.1 Thermal and Explosion Hazards
Incidents involving thermal hazards are mainly due to raw material fire (in
tank farms). The impact (1st degree burn) is limited to 16 m only (i.e. within
plant boundary). However the consequences can go to worse if the incidents
lead to domino effect to other tanks.
The fire near hydrogen skid can be disastrous if the hydrogen cylinders (at
very high pressure ~ 150 atm.) get overheated and explode. The impact in
such cases cannot be predicted.
7.11.2 Toxic Hazards
Toxic hazards are mainly due to methanol; acetonitrile and toluene vapours
leakage and their impact are not likely to cross the plant boundary. Toxic
impacts due to pesticides products are to be considered and all safety
measures are to be taken for controlling dust (in case of powder product)
and vapours (in case of liquid product).
7.11.3 Other Hazards
The other hazards in the plant include (but not limited to):
Other toxic hazards due to acids/other toxic spillages (mainly limited
to spillage area only.).
Mechanical hazards due to machines/equipment.
Hazards due to individual soft spots like walking casually and noticing
a pit and falling or colliding/stumbling or slipping (not noticing a wet
place etc.).
7.11.4 Other Toxic Hazards
Acid spillage-its impact will be limited to spillage area. The spillage if comes
in contact with metal parts will produce hydrogen which is highly flammable
gas. Any person moving in area and getting splash will get the injury. In
addition the spillage will cause pollution problem. The spillage is to be
collected and neutralized for toxic contents before disposal.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-20
7.12 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
RCPPL will have a well-equipped first aid post. It will also have staff
personnel trained in first aid. Injured personnel will be immediately rushed to
hospital after giving first aid. All employees will have regular medical checkup
as per norms. An emergency vehicle/ambulance will always (round the clock)
available for meeting any eventuality.
7.12.1 Treatment of workers affected by accidental spillage of chemicals
There is a wide range of chemicals present in the Chemical plants. The safe
cleanup of a chemical spill requires some knowledge of the properties and
hazards posed by the chemical, and any added dangers posed by the location
of the spill.
Treatment of workers affected by accidental spillage of chemicals
Employees must notify their immediate supervisor of injury by spillage of
chemicals or exposure to hazardous materials. All injuries that may be work
related must be reported. Supervisor is responsible for reporting any injuries
or occupational illnesses to the management.
Following steps will be immediate taken by the Supervisor
Identify spillage/leakages of hazardous chemicals
Chemical Exposure to Skin:
Immediately flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes. If there are no
visible burns, remove the cloth from burning part of body. Seek medical
attention if a exposure/spillages occurs major possible problems.
Chemical Exposure to Skin – Serious:
Remove all contaminated clothing. Locate the nearest emergency shower and
soak for at least 15 minutes. Have someone contact the Hospital for
immediate medical attention.
Chemicals in Eyes:
Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with tempered water from emergency
eyewash station. Remove contact lenses if there is. Notify the management
and immediate medical attention.
Acid Fumes:
Anyone overcome by fumes should be removed by fresh air. Never attempt to
enter a location where potentially dangerous fumes might place you at risk. If
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-21
someone is down, contact emergency personnel and let them enter. Self-
breathing apparatus is requiring to whom enter in the acidic fumes area. Seek
medical attention for exposure as soon as possible.
Chemical Spills
There is an HCl present in the chemical plant. The safe clean-up of an acid
spill requires some knowledge of the properties and hazards posed by the HCl
and any added dangers posed by the location of the spill. If you believe a spill
is beyond your capacity to clean up, do not attempt to do so by your own,
immediately contact to nearest fire/emergency station. Spill kits with
instructions, absorbents, neutralizing agents if applicable, protective
equipment, and sealable waste buckets should be present in plant area.
Following steps to be taken for ensuring health and safety of workers
engaged in handling of toxic materials
Identify chemicals to be used, amounts required, condition followed as
per the MSDS guideline.
Evaluate the hazards posed by the chemicals and the process conditions.
The evaluation should cover toxic, physical, reactive, flammable,
explosive as well as any other potential hazards posed by the respective
chemicals.
Select appropriate controls to minimize risk, including use of engineering
controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment
(PPE) to protect workers from hazards. The controls must ensure that
OSHA‟s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
Avoid Underestimation of Risk of handling and its reaction.
Before working with chemicals, know the facility‟s policies and procedures
for how to handle an accidental spill or fire. Emergency telephone
numbers should be posted in a prominent area. Know the location of all
safety equipment and the nearest fire alarm and telephone.
Provide popper Ventilation in the plant/process area.
Toxic or corrosive chemicals that require vented storage should be stored
in vented cabinets instead of in a chemical hood.
Local exhaust ventilation devices should be appropriate to the operations
in the plant.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-22
Chemicals should be separated and stored according to hazard category
and compatibility.
A risk assessment should be conducted prior to beginning work with any
hazardous chemical for the first time.
7.13 Precautions during storage and transportation of hazardous
chemicals
A systematic approach to safety requires an efficient flow of information from
the suppliers to the users of chemicals on potential hazards and correct
safety precautions. The supplier should provide an employer with essential
information about hazardous chemicals in the form of a chemical safety data
sheet. This chemical safety data sheet or material safety data sheet (MSDS)
describes the hazards of a material and provides instructions on how the
material can be safely handled, used and stored. MSDSs are produced by the
manufacturer or importer of hazardous products. Manufacturer and their
representatives should have a right to an MSDS and to receive the written
information in forms or languages they easily understand. Because some of
the required information might be intended for specialists, further clarification
may be needed from the employer. The MSDS is only one source of
information on a material and, therefore, it is best used along with technical
bulletins, labels, training and other communications.
Details of the type of information that should be required are given below:
Chemical product and company identification
Information on ingredients (composition)
Hazard identification
First-aid measures
Firefighting measures
Accidental release measures
Handling and storage of Chemicals
Exposure controls and personal protection
Physical and chemical properties
Stability and reactivity

Regulatory information
7.14 Safe Practice for handling, storage, transportation and unloading of
chemicals
Continuous efforts to improve safety during the transport and the associated
handling of chemicals are part of the overall aim to improve safety
performance of both the chemical industry and the transport industry. It is
therefore essential to increase safety during loading and unloading. A safety
management system is meant to identify hazards, to control risks and to
measure effectiveness of mitigating actions. The safety management system
therefore should also cover the entire loading operation from gate to gate
and take into account each of the subsequent steps including Emergency
response plan, applicable legislation and Communication skills of drivers and
operators. Before starting loading, operators should ensure that loading site
are stowed and secured in an adequate way so that they cannot damage the
goods to be loaded.
Hazardous chemicals should be stored under appropriate conditions, taking
into account the chemicals‟ specific properties. Instructions on safe storage of
chemicals and important note if there are conditions under which hazardous
reactions may occur. Chemicals that can react together to form unstable or
toxic products, or produce heat, should be kept segregated. Chemicals known
to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction should be kept under
strict control. The compatibility of different chemicals like oxidizing chemicals
should be kept separate from flammable liquids or other flammable
chemicals.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-24
C. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
The hazard analysis and risk assessment of few possible selected incident
scenarios indicates that such incidents mostly are not limited to plant battery
limits and have impact on adjoining plants. There are possibilities of domino
effect and the secondary scenario not predictable can be worse than the
primary one. None of the scenarios are likely to cross the RCPPL plant
boundaries. The direction of impact will be in down wind direction (wind
direction and speed varies with season).
Some of the recommendations for Tank farm storage system are as given
below:
Provision of flame detectors/ thermal sensors at strategic locations in
the tank farm area.
Auto water deluge system on each bulk storage tank for inflammable
liquids. The system should automatically start taking signal from
flame detectors or thermal relay.
Fixed foam system with adequate capacity.
Toxic Hazards are due to pesticides, Methanol, Acetonitrile and other organic
solvents. Regular „Hazard Survey‟ ensures the detection of leakage in the plant.
Safe Handling of Hydrogen
Hydrogen store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other
ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. Close valve after each use and when
empty. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop.
Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Store in a segregated and
approved area. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials. Cylinders should be stored
upright, with valve protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling
or being knocked over. Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52°C (125°F).
1. Physical Properties of Hydrogen: Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless,
tasteless and highly combustible gas. Gas sensors can only detect presence.
2. Flammability & Explosive Nature: Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and
will auto ignite when in contact with air at Hydrogen concentrations ranging
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-25
from 4% to 75%. Hydrogen gas leaking into air may ignite spontaneously.
Hydrogen fire is extremely hot and invisible, thus leading to severe accidental
burns. Under the optimal combustion condition (a 29% hydrogen-to-air volume
ratio), the energy required to initiate hydrogen combustion is much lower than
that required for other common fuels. Hydrogen leaks into closed spaces and
unventilated areas can very quickly pose danger of explosion.
3. Typical reasons for accidents
Reasons for Hydrogen related accidents are similar to reasons for accidents
related to other combustible gases. Human error, or overlooking to perform
Gas handling operations as per prescribed safe practices, lead to most
accidents.
Hydrogen is a very small molecule with low viscosity, and therefore prone to
leakage. Unless dense metal forms, e.g., forgings or killed steels are used,
Hydrogen being the smallest molecule permeates out of tanks and cylinders.
Many metals embrittle due to prolonged contact with Hydrogen leading to
failure due to metal fatigue. Hence, inadequate equipment design
considerations can lead to failures and accidents.
Real time exercise with controlled release of Hydrogen
To attend the leakage in cylinder
To transfer leaky cylinder
To attend leaky cylinder with „safety Kit‟
Train staff in attending such scenarios.
Human Factors: RCPPL should have well equipped fire fighting system and also
safety department - safety practices. Human factors role in safety cannot be
ignored. Odd hours working and over/long hours work can drain out individual.
It shows in lack of efficiency and also the lack of apt attention the modern
chemical complex demand. They are to be closely looked into and avoided.
„Safety‟ has unique features:
a. If no accident has happened so far probability of incident/accident
occurring increases.
b. „No accident‟/good safety record develops complacency inertia/over
confidence in the team. This attitude gives rise to gaps/soft spots in the
system giving chances to incidents/accidents.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-26
c. Safety requires novelty. Routine training practices get stale with no
positive results. Look for novel scheme of training/ safety practices to
build up fresh impetus in safety. Involvement of employees with
refreshed outlook for safety is to be achieved.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 7-27
7.15 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Disaster/Emergency Management Plan is essential for a chemical plant as the
processes adopted for manufacturing are classified under Factory Act as
Hazardous due to handling and storage of toxic, flammable and explosive
hazardous materials. Over the years, the chemical process plant has created
adequate infrastructure and adopted risk mitigation measures to tackle any
emergency that may arise during the manufacturing process. The important
aspect in emergency planning is to control an emergency by technical and
organizational means, minimize accidents and consequent losses. Emergency
planning also brings to light deficiencies, such as, lack of resources necessary
for effective emergency response. It also demonstrates the organization's
commitment to safety of employees and physical property as well as
increases the awareness among management and employees.
Disaster Management Plan for the plant is necessarily a combination of
various actions which are to be taken in a very short time but in a pre-set
sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or
major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men, material,
plant/machinery etc. to the minimum.
A major emergency in a pesticide plant is one, which has the potential to
cause serious injury or loss of life. It may cause extensive damage to
property and serious disruption of both inside and outside the plant.
Sometimes, it would require the assistance of outside emergency services to
handle it effectively. Although the emergency at the plant may be caused by
a number of different factors, e.g. leakage of toxic and flammable materials
from piping/tanks, total/partial power failure, earthquake or sabotage, it will
normally manifest itself in fire/toxic release.
Primarily, DMP is prepared to furnish details which may require at the time of
the emergency, to delegate responsibility, to estimate the consequences in
advance and to prepare ourselves to control any type of emergency.
The plan explains basic requirements as follows:

7.15.1 Definitions
Various definitions on different analogy used on On-site & Off-site Emergency
Plan are as follows:
Accident: An accident may be defined as “an undesirable and unplanned
event with or without or major damage consequence of life and /or property.
Major Accident: It is a sudden, unexpected, unplanned event resulting from
uncontrolled developments during an industrial activity, which causes or has
the potential to cause, death or hospitalization to a number of people,
damage to environment, evacuation of local population or any combination of
above effects.
Emergency: This can be defined as any situation, which presents a threat to
safety of person's or/and property. It may require outside help also.
Major Emergency: Occurring at a work is one that may affect several
departments within and/or may cause serious injuries, loss of life, extensive
damage to properly or serious disruption outside the works. It will require the
use of outside resources to handle it effectively.
Disaster: Disaster is a sudden calamitous event, bringing great damage, loss
or destruction.
Hazards: Hazard may be defined as “the potential of an accident”. Hazard
exists in man and the system of materials and machines.
Chemical Hazards: It is a hazard due to chemical(s) (including its storage,
process, handling, etc.) and it is realized by fire, explosion, toxicity,
corrosively, radiation, etc.
Risk: Risk may be defined as the combination of consequence and probability
or likelihood of an accident being caused in a given man-material – machine
system.
On-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and control
emergencies within the factory and not affecting outside public or
environment.
Off-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and control
emergencies affecting public and the environment outside the premises.

10.1 INTRODUCTION
An Environment Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared to minimize
negative impacts and is formed on the basis of prevailing environmental
conditions and likely impacts of this project on various environmental
parameters. This plan will also facilitate monitoring of environmental
parameters.
Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to
implementation of the proposed project activities is the technical heart of
EIA process. An equally essential element of this process is to develop
measures to eliminate, offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels during
implementation and operation of projects. The integration of such
measures into project implementation and operation is supported by
clearly defining the environmental requirements within an Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).
From the previous chapter, it can be said that the proposed project has
significantly less pollution potential. For abatement of environmental
pollution, the unit would adopt several measures, which are summarized in
this chapter.
10.2 OBJECTIVE OF ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Unit through its head project contractor will provide the necessary
infrastructural facilities to the labour. The following factors would be given
consideration to maintain good environmental quality during construction
phase:
This is a proposed unit; hence excavation work will be carried out as per
requirement. There will also be installation of new machineries and
equipments that ultimately lead adverse impact on environment. But it will
be temporary in nature. Installation work shall generate noise and dust but
it will within working areas. Therefore, measures will need to be taken to
protect workers.
To mitigate the adverse environment impact due to the construction phase,
following measures will be taken:
Regular sprinkling of the water will be recommended along with the
construction activities.
Regular preventing maintenance of machinery and transportation of
vehicles during construction to reduce noise pollution.
Provision of silencer, to modulate the noise generated by the machine, if
required.
Reduce the exposure time of workers to the higher noise level by job
rotation.
To protect workers working in noisy area, personal protective
equipments like earmuffs/earplugs will be provided.
The domestic sewage generated during the construction activity will be
routed to soak pit followed by septic tank.
Tree plantation will be proposed periphery of plant premises and along
the roads.
Water Environment
During construction phase, provision for infra-structural services including
water supply, sewage, drainage facilities and electrification will be made.
The construction site would be provided with suitable toilet facilities for the
workers to allow proper standards of hygiene. These facilities would be

construction workers mobilized by the contractors. Unit will also supply
potable water for the construction workers. The safety department will
supervise the safe working of the contractor and their employees. Work
spots will be maintained clean, provided with optimum lighting and enough
ventilation to eliminate dust/fumes.
Socio-economic Environment
Management will give preference to local people through both direct and
indirect employment.
10.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING THE OPERATIONAL
PHASE
EMP proposed for implementation is detailed under the following heads:
Air Pollution Control
Wastewater Management
Solid/Hazardous Waste Management
Noise Management
Greenbelt Development
Occupational Safety and Health
Implementation of EMP and monitoring programme
10.5.1 Air Pollution Management
10.5.1.1 Source of air pollution and control measures
Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.
Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of Boilers (out
of which one will be treated as standby) due to combustion of fuel. FO will
be used as fuel in boiler hence no needs to install APCM; as FO is an
environmental friendly fuel. Emitted pollutants from flue gas stack will be
SPM, SO2 and NOX.
Process emission will be from stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin
reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor. Alkali scrubber followed by water
scrubber will be installed to the stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-5
reactor and Fenpropimorph reactor. Main pollutants emitted from process
will be HCl, Cl2 and SO2.
Adequate stack height to the flue gas stack and process gas stack has been
provided for proper dispersion of gaseous emission.
Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity which will be treated
as stand by and use in case of non-availability of power/emergency, where
HSD will be used as a fuel.
However, in order to achieve the reduction, it is suggested that during
operational phase, regular maintenance and periodic tuning of the burner
system should be done to ensure proper atomization and subsequent
minimization of any unburned combustibles. Besides reduction in
particulate emissions, it would also result in better operating efficiency of
APC measures.
In order to minimize the air pollution the unit will develop greenbelt on and
around its premises considering the following guidelines,
i) Green cover should be created at all the available open spaces.
ii) Strict surveillance is made to increase the survival rate of the trees.
iii) Plants with higher height, medium and low height should be planted to
ensure thick belt for attenuation of fugitive emission. This activity
demands expert advice and guidance.

10.5.2 Water Environment
The unit will satisfy its fresh water requirement through tanker from local
bodies. Total water requirement of the plant will be 216.5 KLD, out of
which 143 KLD will be fresh water requirement and 73.5 KLD will be met
from recycle/treated water (permeate from RO and condensate recovery
from MEE). Wastewater generation will be from process, utilities, washing.
Total industrial wastewater generation will be 76.5 KLD.
Entire quantity of wastewater will be treated in ETP. Treated water from
ETP will be passed through RO & reject of RO will be sent to MEE for
further treatment. RO permeate & condensate from MEE will be reused for
utility & greenbelt development, so there will be no effluent discharge from
unit.
Sewage generation will be approximately 5.0 KLD, which will be disposed
through soak pit followed by septic tank.
The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water environment
in general includes following:
- Minimization of water use
- Treatment philosophy to achieve mandated standards
- Reuse/recycle w/w after treatment
Some of the measures, which are to be implemented, include:
- Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the amount
of wastewater generated.
- Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of improvement
in operation of processing units.
- Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the ETP.
10.5.3 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management
The Waste Management plan includes:
- Classification of waste
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-10
- Collection, storage, transportation, disposal & sell to approved TSDF
site/CHWIF/appropriate recycler &/or reuse.
- Data Management and Reporting
- Personnel Training
- Waste Minimization
The source of solid/hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge, waste
carbon, process residue, Off specific products, Discarded containers/ liners,
Used Lubricating Oil.
ETP sludge will be disposed by land filling at approved TSDF site. Waste
carbon, process residue &off specific products will be sent for Incineration
at CHWIF (common hazardous waste incineration facility) approved by
RSPCB. Spent oil will be sold to actual users and Drums & liners will be sold
to registered recyclers. Entire quantity of the hazardous waste will be
stored in the isolated hazardous waste storage area within premises having
leachate collection system and roof cover.
10.5.4 Noise Control Technique
The main sources of noise generation will be from installation of new
machineries and equipments, APC system, D.G. set. However, these
impacts will be very minor and temporary in nature. The impact on the
environment during the operational phase will be long term but of
insignificant.
However, to minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes the following
noise control measures,
Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or
protective measures should be provided, if required (wherever noise
level is more than 90 dB (A)).
Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like
earplugs or earmuffs. Earplug should be provided to all workers where
exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.
The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid unnecessary
speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.
Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried
out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-11
The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with
specification of low noise levels.
Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated where
possible and will include prominently displayed caution boards.
Greenbelt area will be developed within industrial premises and around
the periphery to prevent the noise pollution in surrounding area.
By taking measures as mentioned above, it is anticipated that noise levels
in the plant will be maintained below the permissible limit.
10.6 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the air
pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement of the
area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere. The unit proposes to
develop the green belt on 2825 m2 area, which will be around 33% of the
utilized area of the project. Greenbelt will be developed by planting
drought resistant trees suitable for local climate. Moreover, avenue trees
will be planted all along the roads and local species are recommended. The
density of tree will be 1000 tree per acres i.e. 1 tree per 4 m2 to minimize
the effect of air and noise pollution and to improve overall environment.
These trees are planted in open and close patches in multiple rows.
The plantation of trees in and around the company are meant mainly to
reduce air pollution caused by factory emissions, to absorb sound, to
prevent soil erosion and to maintain aesthetic value for healthy living. For
the development of greenbelt, plants having simple big leaves and native
species are preferred to the plants.
The plants are suitable for greenbelt development based on gaseous
exchange capacity of foliage which is ascertained by the following
characteristics:
- The plant should be fast growing.
- It should have thick canopy cover.
- It should be perennial and evergreen.
- It should have large leaf area index.
- It should be indigenous.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-12
- It should be efficient in absorbing pollutants without significant effects
on plant growth.
The objectives of the industrial greenbelt are to improve the micro-
environment. The success depends on the type of land available and
selection of suitable tree species for pollution control. Selection of tree
species for industrial areas is influenced by the nature of industry. The
objective should be to ensure a green cover tolerating pollutant gases and
solid particulates present in the atmosphere. It is also advisable to select
suitable tree species and adopt simple techniques which require minimum
investment and care.
Design of Green Belt
As far as possible, following guidelines will be considered in greenbelt
development.
The spacing between the trees will be maintained as per SPCB
guideline i.e. 1 tree/4 sqm.
Spaces, so that the trees may grow vertically and slightly increase the
effective height of the green belt.
Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered orientation.
The short trees (< 10 m height) will be planted in the first two rows
(towards plant side) of the green belt. The tall trees (> 10 m height)
will be planted in the outer three rows (away from plant side).
Planting methodology
The plantation shall be done in pits. Pits of about 50 cm dia shall be dug in
grid of 0.5 m x 0.5 m up to a depth of 0.3 m. The pit shall be refilled with
soil after the planting. The sampling of healthy, nursery raised, seedlings in
polythene containers shall be transported in baskets. Planting shall be done
after first monsoon showers.
The level of soil is about 10 cm above of ground level. The soil around the
plant shall be pressed to form a low through. About 25 gm chemical
fertilizers shall be added in ring of 25 cm radius around the plant. Watering
shall be continued after plantation if any dry spells follows. Planted area
shall be inspected and mortality rate ensured for each species. The dead
and drying plant shall be replaced by fresh seedlings.

step towards waste-minimization.
Unit will recycle around 34% of treated wastewater as close loop; by this
way unit will contribute reduce natural resource. Additionally, waste
carbon-12 TPA and process residue-780 TPA will be sent to cement
manufacturer for co-processing.
Unit shall also implement the concept of waste minimization circle
including:
Good House Keeping: Proper house keeping practices makes the system
easier and less costly.
Solid wastes e.g. powders, spills, etc. in process and packaging are to
be separately collected and disposed off instead of allowing these to
effluent streams. This will reduce load and increase the efficiency of
treatment system.
Liquid wastes from various sections should be collected and treat with
effluents.
Rain water harvesting system shall be adopted to reduce the fresh
water requirement.
Other cleaner production technology shall be adopted for the resource
conservation and pollution control.

Every pressure vessel will be provided with minimum one or more
pressure relief devices. The design of the valve is made in such a way
that the breakage of any part will not obstruct force discharge of the
liquid under pressure. Moreover, relief valves are tested and a periodic
schedule for their testing shall be maintained. The defective valves will
be removed if found unsafe for the operation.
10.8.1 Possibility of occupational health hazard, its control &
Occupational surveillance
An occupational hazard is a thing or situation with the potential to harm a
worker. Occupational hazards can be divided into two categories: safety
hazards that cause accidents that physically injure workers, and health
hazards which result in the development of disease. Hazards can be rated
according to the severity of the harm they cause - a significant hazard
being one with the potential to cause a critical injury or death.
Chemical agents: There are possibility to generate gases, vapours and
aerosols (dusts, fumes, mists). We will take care to reduce it at optimum
minimum level and advices to workers to use PPE who work in such
identify area.
Noise: Noise is considered as any unwanted sound that may adversely
affect the health and well-being of individuals or populations. Aspects of
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-16
noise hazards include total energy of the sound, frequency distribution,
duration of exposure and impulsive noise. Noise might result in acute
effects like communication problems, decreased concentration, and
sleepiness and as a consequence interference with job performance.
Exposure to high levels of noise (usually above 85 dB(A)) over a significant
period of time may cause both temporary and chronic hearing loss.
Permanent hearing loss is the most common occupational disease in
compensation claims. There will be no high noise level issue. However, unit
will identify such areas like D.G. Sets, utilities area and advice to workers
to not enter without PPE.
Occupational surveillance involves active programmes to anticipate,
observe, measure, evaluate and control exposures to potential health
hazards in the workplace. Depending upon the occupational environment
and problem, two surveillance methods can be employed: medical and
environmental.
1. Medical surveillance is used to detect the presence or absence of
adverse health effects for an individual from occupational exposure to
contaminants, by performing medical examinations and appropriate tests.
2. Environmental surveillance is used to document potential exposure
to contaminants for a group of employees, by measuring the concentration
of contaminants in the air, in bulk samples of materials and on surfaces.
Medical surveillance is performed because diseases can be caused or
exacerbated by exposure to hazardous substances. So periodic medical
check-up will be carried out.
10.8.2 Preventive Measures
The methods of protecting the work force from exposure to toxic agents
in the workplace:
Enclosures or special ventilator control of processes;
Good general ventilation - particularly important if the solvent is used
in a confined space;
Personal protection - Protective clothing should be worn, including
gloves. Suitable respiratory protection is necessary like Panorama gas
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-17
mask with cartridge suitable for the chemicals we will be handling,
Breathing air apparatus and Air hood with instrument air connection.
Keep Emergency alarm systems in confined area.
Emergency preparedness plan.
10.9 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMME
Unit will employ well qualified and experienced safety manager and make
arrangement for part time/full time doctor for regular checking of health of
the employees. Also, plans to become member of any local hospital for
emergency need. Annual health check for employees will be carried out
and record will be maintained. Regular training to plant personnel in safety
fire fighting and first aid will be provided.
Unit will maintain a healthy work environment. This is accomplished
through the identification, evaluation and control of workplace
environmental factors which may cause sickness, impaired health or
significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers. Environmental
factors such as noise, physical hazards toxicity/chemical hazard and
ergonomic hazards are monitored on a periodic basis. Workers exposed to
noise and toxic materials will be evaluated against applicable recognised
exposure levels in the Factories Act. Hearing protection aid will be provided
to workers who work in the high noise areas, during construction of the
proposed facilities and also to those who will continue through the life of
the facility.
(A) Exposure of workers with major chemicals
Mainly Solvents, acids will be the major chemicals where workers are
directly exposed. All workers are directly or indirectly comes with above
chemicals are aware about the hazardousness of such chemicals and all
have provide Personnel protective equipments and also provide appropriate
training for use it.
(B) List of chemicals, their threshold limit and measures
Unit will use numbers chemicals where workers are directly or indirectly
exposed in work area. Details of hazardous chemicals characteristics are
summarized in Chapter-7 of RA report. Unit will handle above chemicals
with proper handling process suggested in MSDS. Estimated work area
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-18
quality with TWA limit is summarized in Table 2.8(d) of Chapter-2.
Measured value indicates that exposure of such chemicals are within the
Threshold Limit Values (TLV)/Permission Exposure Levels as per ACGIH
recommendation.
(C) Details of Pre-placement and periodical medical monitoring of
workers
Pre-employment Medical Examinations
There are two main purposes of pre-employment medical examinations:
1. To provide base-line health data against which subsequent
changes after employment can be evaluated
This is important for assessment of the effectiveness of preventive
measures at work. For example, where the hearing threshold of a worker,
which is normal before employment in a noisy occupation, is found to have
increased after employment, this possibly indicates noise-induced hearing
loss and a review of the hearing protection measures would be required.
On the other hand, if the pre-employment hearing threshold of the workers
has not been assessed, it would be difficult to ascertain whether the
worker’s high hearing threshold after employment is due to excessive noise
exposure at work or to his own hearing problem before employment. Pre-
employment health data is also important in substantiating or negating
employees’ compensation claims since it provides evidence of the health
status of claimants before employment.
2. To ensure medical fitness for work
Pre-employment medical examinations identify those persons who are
medically unfit for employment in particular occupations. Persons with
certain underlying medical conditions are particularly vulnerable to the
effects of certain health hazards and are not suitable for employment in
particular occupations. Persons with certain underlying medical conditions
are particularly vulnerable to the effects of certain health hazards and are
not suitable for employment in work with such exposures. For example,
workers with thalassemia (a genetic disease of the blood) should not be
engaged in work involving lead exposure which may aggravate the
anaemia. Workers may fail to meet the specific health requirements for
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-19
particular job so that they cannot undertake the jobs safely without risks to
themselves or others.
Periodic Medical Examinations
Periodic medical examinations aim to detect susceptible workers for whom
corrective actions are required before they develop overt occupational
diseases. The frequency of periodic medical examinations depends on the
nature of the occupational hazards. For most hazardous exposures,
however, these examinations are conducted annually.
Requirements of Medical Examination
The requirements of medical examinations depend on the nature of the
hazardous exposures of workers. In general, the doctor will take a detailed
occupational and medical history, conduct a physical examination and
prescribe a range of ancillary laboratory and/or radiological investigations
such as urine test, blood test, X-ray, lung function test and audiometric
test.
Liver Function Test (LFT)
Clinical examination and Pre-placement medical examination carried out in
every 12 months. Liver function tests including serum bilirubin, alkaline
phosphatase estimations every 12 months are required.
Occupational Health and First aid measures
Unit is using numbers of chemicals/solvents, which if handled in safe ways
with all precautions (as detailed in respective MSDS) will not cause harm to
employees. However, in rare case of exposures, immediate action is to be
taken to save life and reduce the extent of damage. Unit has first aid
facilities and calling base ambulance facilities as and when required.
Industry will appoint part time doctor for periodically health check-up.
Instructions for immediate actions to exposures to some of the chemicals
will be given to employees.
Mitigation Measures:
Entire materials will be transfer either pneumatically or closed manner and
charging the raw materials in reactor with deep charges so that chances of
un-reacted materials are minimized.
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-20
Engineering controls
Engineering controls are the preferred method of controlling exposure to
workplace hazards. They can be placed in three categories:
Substitution includes the use of a less hazardous material, a change in
the process equipment used, or a change in the process itself. Care must
be taken to ensure that the substitution actually does result in less
hazardous conditions.
Isolation is a method of limiting exposure to those employees who are
working directly with the hazard, often by enclosing them within a
containment structure. While isolation will reduce the risk to those outside
the isolated area, it should be accompanied by appropriate controls to
ensure that those within are not faced with an increased exposure to the
hazard.
Ventilation is most important for the control of airborne hazards. It
involves the removal (from the workplace) of air that contains a hazardous
contaminant and its replacement with uncontaminated outside air. There
are two types: local exhaust and general dilution. A properly designed local
exhaust system can capture a contaminant where it is generated and
remove it before it is dispersed into the work environment.
Unit have focus on above three areas to maintain work air quality in work
zone area.
10.9.1 Occupational Health and First aid measures
Unit will use numbers of chemicals/solvents, which if handled in safe ways
with all precautions (as detailed in respective MSDS) will not cause harm to
employees. However, in rare case of exposures, immediate action is to be
taken to save life and reduce the extent of damage. Unit has first aid
facilities and ambulance facilities are available round the clock. Industry
has appointed part time doctor for periodically health check-up of workers.
Instructions for immediate actions to exposures to some of the chemicals
will be given to employees.
10.9.2 Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety
A hazardous chemical directory is being developed to maintain information
on the hazards associated with each chemical used. Copies of Material
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 10-21
Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous materials at the existing/proposed
facility will be kept at the unit and will be available for employee review.
Specific programs and procedures for the control of health hazards
associated with potentially harmful materials such as Acids, Alkali and
solvents etc. will be followed. The hazard communication program will
serve as the basis for selection of personal protective equipment such as
gloves, goggles, face shields, etc. A select group of employees at the
proposed facilities will receive first aid training to provide an immediate
response and medical care for injuries.
Material handling areas should be clearly defined.
The workers should be made aware about the hazards associated with
manual material handling.
A written process safety information document should be compiled for
general use.
The document compilation should include an assessment of the hazards
presented including (i) Physical data (ii) Thermal data (iii) Process and
mechanical design.
Personnel engaged in handling of hazard activities should be trained to
respond in an unlikely event of emergencies.
The plant should check and ensure that all instruments provided in the
plant are in good condition and documented.
10.10 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to voluntary actions
undertaken by company/organization to either improve the living
conditions (economically, socially, environmentally) of local communities or
to reduce the negative effects of the project. By definition, voluntary
actions are those that go beyond legal obligations, contracts, and license
agreements.
Socio-economic development activities is a concept of organization
whereby organizations serve the interests of society by taking
responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, employees,

11.9 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Air Environment
Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.
Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of Boilers due to
combustion of fuel. FO will be used as fuel in boiler. There will be no need to
install APCM as FO is an environmental friendly fuel. Emitted pollutants from
flue gas stack will be SPM, SO2 and NOX.
Process emission will be from stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin reactor
and Fenpropimorph reactor. Alkali scrubber followed by water scrubber will
be installed to the stack attached to Lambda Cyhalothrin reactor and
Fenpropimorph reactor. Main pollutants emitted from process will be HCl, Cl2
and SO2.
Adequate stack height to the flue gas stack and process gas stack has been
provided for proper dispersion of gaseous emission.
Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 250 kVA capacity which will be treated as
stand by and use in case of non-availability of power/emergency, where HSD
will be used as a fuel. Hence no need of APCM.
Air Quality Modelling and Predictions
It is predicted that highest 24–hourly incremental GLC value for SPM, SO2,
NOx, HCl, Cl2 are 0.370 g/m3, 0.118 g/m3, 0.105 g/m3, 0.042 g/m3 and
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 11-7
0.011 g/m3 respectively. The point of maximum concentration by unit would
be 1.41 km from center of industry in SE direction.
With this marginal contribution due to the proposal of the project, the levels
of PM10, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 will remain well below the 24 - hourly ambient
air quality standards for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM10 (100 g/m3), PM2.5 (60
g/m3), HCl & Cl2 (norms not prescribed by CPCB) prescribed by CPCB.
Water Environment
The unit will satisfy its fresh water requirement through tanker from local
bodies. Total water requirement of the plant will be 216.5 KL/day, out of
which 143 KLD will be fresh water requirement and 73.5 KLD will be met
from recycle/treated water (permeate from RO and condensate recovery
from MEE). The main source of the industrial wastewater generation will be
from process, washing and utilities. Total industrial wastewater generation
will be 76.5 KLD.
Entire quantity of wastewater will be treated in ETP. Treated water from ETP
will be passed through RO & reject of RO will be sent to MEE for further
treatment. RO permeate &condensate from MEE will be reused for utility &
greenbelt development, so there will be no effluent discharge from unit.
Sewage generation will be approximately 5.0 KLD, which will be disposed
through soak pit followed by septic tank.
Thus, there will not be any major impact on the water environment due to
proposed project activities.
Hazardous Waste Management
The entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as per
Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary Movement)
Rules'2008, amended time to time. Main source of hazardous waste
generation will be ETP sludge, waste carbon, process residue, Off specific
products, Discarded containers/ liners, Used Lubricating Oil.
ETP sludge will be disposed by land filling at approved TSDF site. Waste
carbon, process residue & off specific products will be sent for Incineration at
CHWIF (common hazardous waste incineration facility) approved by RSPCB.
Spent oil will be sold to actual users and Drums & liners will be sold to
registered recyclers. Unit will provide isolated storage area for the storage of
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad
EIA report of Rotam Crop Protection Pvt. Ltd. 11-8
hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste management system proposed by
the unit will be adequate and there will not be any major impact on the
environment due to hazardous waste management.
Noise Control Measures
The main sources of noise pollution will be from operation of boiler, D.G. set,
process plant, APCM and other machineries etc. However, the noise
transmitted outside the plant boundary will be low because most of the noise
generating equipments will be in closed structures provided with acoustic
enclosure. Greenbelt will be developed around the periphery of the plant. Ear
muff, ear plug will be provided to all workers working at noisy area.
Green Belt Development
Total land area is 8560 m2. Unit proposes to develop greenbelt in area of
2825 m2 and it will be 33% of the utilized area of the project. 11.10 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAMME

Passes through the placental barrier in animal. May cause cancer although IARC evidence forcancer in humans shows inadequate data.
Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation with itching, burning, redness, swelling, or rash. It may be absorbedthrough the skin in toxic amounts and cause systemic effects similar to that of ingestion. It may facilitate the absorptionof other chemical substances through the skin. If there is significant potential for skin contact, monitoring should be doneto measure the level of DMF metabolites in urine specimans at the end of the shift. It is common practice to limit end-of-shift metabolites at or below 40 ppm expressed as n-monomethylformamide or a single individual or at or below 20 ppmMMF for several workers doing the same job. Eyes: Causes eye irritation (possibly severe) with tearing pain or blurredvision. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Short-term overexposure by inhalation may affect behavior/centralnervous system (convulsions, muscle weakness and other symptoms similar to that of acute ingestion), respiration (dyspnea).Ingestion: It can cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with heartburn, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. It may alsoaffect the cardiovascular system (hypertension, tachycardia, ECG abnormalities), blood (elevated white blood cell counts), andliver damage (hepatomegaly, jaundice, altered liver enzymes, fatty liver
