2.12.1 Solvent Recovery & Re-Use:
Solvents do not contribute to the effectiveness of the drug, with the exception of forming the
desired solvate in the final product. However, solvents play an essential role in chemical
processing for controlling the reaction rate, facilitating heat and mass transfer and enabling
product separation and purification, which cannot be replaced easily with other alternatives.
Various solvents are proposed to be used during the process of manufacture of the
proposed products. The solvents proposed to be recovered and recycled during the process
of manufacture of each product are detailed inTable 2-8.

2.12.2 Solvent Recovery System:
After the reaction is complete the solvents are recovered by distillation process.
The distillation unit has two condensers in series (shell and tube type).
The first condenser is passed with cooling tower water, while the second condenser
will have chilled brine solution at -10 to -20 °C as coolants.
After the vapors are condensed, the condensate along with un-condensed vapors is
passed through a trap which is cooled externally with chilled water.
The vents of condenser and receiver are connected to scrubber system.
All the reaction vessels and centrifuges are connected to a common line. These
fumes and exhausts are sucked by ID fan and scrubbed by alkali solution.
The air after scrubbing is let out into the atmosphere and the scrubbed water is sent
to MEE for further treatment.
This wet scrubber absorbs acidic vapors, traces of solvents etc. and purified gas
stream is let out into the atmosphere.
CBL achieves ~85 % of solvent recovery with ~ 15 % of loss.The typical solvent recovery system is depicted in Figure 2-7

2.19 Description of Mitigation Measures Incorporated Into the Project to Meet theEnvironmental Standards
2.19.1 Impacts due to Land Acquisition and Location
The proposal is an expansion project within the existing facility in KIADB. Therefore, there
will not be any land acquisition requirement and no impact due to location will arise.
2.19.2 Impacts due to changes in land use pattern
The project site land area is 15659.25 sq m (3.87 Acres). Since this is an expansion project
which involves some construction work there will be little change in existing land use pattern
of the project site.
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during operational phase of
the project on the land environment.
Air emissions will be effectively controlled by use of scrubbers and therefore
deposition of air pollutants in and around the premises and surrounding area is not
envisaged.
Disposal of solid waste will be carried out through authorized vendor.
Plant will be maintained ZLD. No effluent will be discharged directly on land without
treatment., impact on the land environment is not envisaged.
Hazardous materials are prohibited to be drained or dumped in the premises.
Accidental spills will be cleaned, reported and monitored.
Thus, no impact on land is envisaged due to discharge of gaseous emission, solid
waste or liquid effluent from the proposed expansion.
The most likely impacts on the environment due to the proposed project need to be
appraised during the two different phases of the project namely pre-operation/construction
phase and operation phase. The particulars on impacts that could be triggered on the
environmental attributes by the activities of the proposed project are discussed below.
2.20 Construction Phase
Impact assessment during the construction phase of the project is of importance as the
construction activities lead to adverse effects on the environment on a short term basis. The
major activities that are undertaken during this phase are civil works, mechanical works,
machinery works and transportation works.

utilize the rain water for construction purpose.
5. An appropriate water management system will be implemented.
Wastewater Management:
Domestic:
The sewage generated will be sent to sewage collection tank followed by Soak pit.
2.20.4 Noise Environment
Impacts
The major sources of noise generation at the construction site are pneumatic
hammers, DG sets, compressors, concrete mixers, operating machineries, horns &
acoustic signals and communication among workers.
Noise nuisance causes discomfort and health related issues in those who work at the
site and those who reside in the neighboring villages.
Mitigation measures
Barricading the construction site.
The existing green belt will help in reducing the noise levels.

emergency, the transportation activities will be permitted in night time.
The vehicles used for construction activities and transportation of materials will be
provided with the horn of low noise level as recommended by RTO/ concerned
authorities.
Minimization of operation time of noisy equipment and operation of
machineries/equipment that generate high levels of noise only during day time.
Inadequate use of plant and equipment, namely, running on full power when the work
does not necessitate, will be avoided.
Personal protective equipments, education and public awareness and exposure
control through rotation of work will be provided to the workers engaged in
construction activities in the area generating high levels of noise.
2.20.5 Waste Generation
Sources of waste are construction debris such as bricks, steel scrap, wooden
scrap, sand and gravel.
Mitigation measures
Prior to commencement of construction works, assessment of materials required,
location and planning of available space for its storage will be conducted.
Quality control will be implemented to reject defective materials at the time of delivery
thus avoiding later disposal.
Stockpiles of sand, gravel, soil will be situated in such a manner that they do not spill
or washed onto the adjacent roads.
Materials that come in will be labeled and the date of receiving will be recorded.
Preparation of a proper waste management system which includes identification of
wastes, collection, segregation, storage and disposal methods.
Recycling and reuse of certain construction debris.
Spent oils and other lubricants from equipment will be collected in enclosed
containers before disposing it to approved recyclers.
2.20.6 Ecology
The proposed expansion is within the existing facility and is within the industrial area,
hence no impacts have been expected to arise on the biological environment. Except
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
99
for the removal of weeds, the ecological status of the site will be well maintained by
conserving/developing the green belt at the site.
2.20.7 Social Environment
The impacts of construction activities is beneficial on the social environment as it
contributes to the economic and social development by providing employment to
about 10 workers during the construction phase and thereby raising the standards of
living and quality of life.
Procurement of construction materials locally leads to increase in trading
opportunities.
2.21 OPERATION PHASE
From an environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to its
potential to invoke long-term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur during this
operational phase of the project are: Air Pollution (gaseous emissions), Effluent generation,
Noise generation, Solid and hazardous wastes generation.
2.21.1 Land Environment
The land use of the existing facility is already for industrial use. The proposed expansion will
be within the existing facility hence there will be no change in land use pattern.
i. Discharges on Land-Impact
The sewage will be sent to Packaged sewage treatment plant of Jhokosa process 3 KLD
Capacity and treated sewage will be used for green belt development and the industrial
effluent will be treated in ZLD, hence there will be no discharges on land premises.
Mitigation Measures
1. Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines
2. Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken parts of
the conveyance pipeline in case any leakage is detected.
3. Necessary preventive measures for spillage from pipelines, such as surface RCC
channels along the pipelines will be adopted.
4. Lining of effluent collection tank/ETP common guard pond.
5. Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using it for
various requirements.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
100
6. Regarding ETP,there will be institutional arrangement to check the efficiency of Zero
Liquid Discharge.
ii. Impacts- Soil Contamination
Potential impacts on land environment are envisaged due to hazardous and non-hazardous
wastes generated during various operations in the project site. Sludge generated during
production process, chemical waste including toxic waste, burnt fuel waste, oil slurry, Salts
from ATFD etc are the source of hazardous waste. Sludge from ETP will be generated. Poor
management of such materials/wastes from the operations is a potential risk of soil
contamination.
Soil – Mitigation Measures
Good housekeeping and best practices for waste handling will be adopted to
eliminate/minimise the risks of soil contamination. The wastes generated will be stored in
temporary storage facility and transferred to nearby Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility
(TSDF) and also to the approved vendors of Karnataka State Pollution Control Board
(KSPCB) landfill and Co-processing. However, waste minimisation techniques will be
adopted in order to minimise the generation of wastes.
2.21.2 Air Environment
Air pollutants in the form of oxides of nitrogen, sulfur & SPM from generators, boilers & acid
mist/VOCs from the process section, contribute and cause certain impacts on the air quality.
APC measures are adequate to disperse the pollutants. Reactors are provided with
individual scrubbers and the scrubbed gases will pass through stacks (2 nos.) Boiler is
provided with Cyclonic separator to control the pollutants. The same measures will be folloed
for proposed boiler also. Adequate green belt has been developed to mitigate the pollution
arising due to movement of vehicles. Regular monitoring of DG - process and boiler -Stacks
and Ambient air quality will be carried out. Air Pollution Control Measures are provided in

Fugitive emission
CBL adopts the following action plan to control fugitive emission from the reactors and
odour.
The outfall of reactor will be connected to primary condense.
Then outlet of primary condenser is passes through the secondary condenser,
emission passing through condensers will get condensed.
The condensed emission will be recycled to process.
From vapor condenser cloud it will be again recycled to reactor,
Leakage of emission due to damage will be detected manually and repaired.
The process emission from the reactors will be scrubbed to acid/alkali scrubbers and
vented through the stacks of adequate heights.
Thus the fugitive emissions will be controlled.
Odour control
The Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) monitoring is carried out regular intervals and
is being submitted to the Board.
The Environment Health Safety team are trained on Industrial hygiene and sampling /
testing techniques.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
102
Local exhaust ventilation at storage locations will be provided at storage locations
which will be connected to the scrubbers.
Turbo ventilators will be provided at strategic locations.
All the areas are covered with Air Handling units.
Mitigation Measures
All air pollution control measures like scrubbers/bag filters will be provided by the
industry.
Ambient air quality monitoring will be carried out regularly at selected locations in
order to check and compare the predicted concentrations with the measured
concentrations. NAAQS Exceedance if any may be checked thoroughly and
adequacy/Performance of Air Pollution Control measures shall be reviewed.
Water sprinkling will be carried out on road surfaces in the project area.
Adequate Green belt width will be provided.
Trucks with cargo susceptible for fugitive suspension will be covered with tarpaulin.
All the vehicles will be periodically checked to ensure compliance to the emission
standards.
In addition, Environmental Management Cell (EMC) will ensure that unit will install all
essential pollution control measures as stated by KSEIAA/ KSPCB.
2.21.3 Noise Environment
Impact
Noise generation sources during operation phase is classified into two categories:
Stationary sources due to operation of heavy duty machineries at the project site like
Boilers, Compressors, DG sets, Pumps etc.
Mobile sources corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization,
materials, material transportation, liquid / fuel transportation to project site, etc.
Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with the
proposed project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations beyond the site
would be negligible during normal operation phase. However, the impacts on workers
engaged in the plant area would be considerable due to occupational exposure. The
proposed fixed major equipment/units such as boiler house, compressors, pumps,
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
103
DG sets etc., also generate vibrations during operational phase and may cause
exposures to the workers/operators engaged at these units.
Mitigation Measures
The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, Boiler Feed water
pumps etc. will be enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for an insertion loss of
25 dB (A) and silencers for other equipments etc.
Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring
cumulative noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).
The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly time
weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standard limits.
Acoustic silencers will be provided in equipment wherever necessary.
Acoustic design with sound proof glass panelling will be provided for critical operator
cabins / control rooms of individual modules as well as central control facilities.
Use of personal protective equipments/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs etc. will
be strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.
Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental works will be
carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts will be lubricated to
minimise noise emissions.
Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub
plantation; landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle parking areas
and along approach roads.
Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational phase
of the project.
Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet international
standards and foundations will be so designed to minimise vibrations and secured
properly.
Vibration generating sources and their platforms will be maintained properly to
minimize vibrations and related impacts.
Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies like
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS),
which is being practiced and would be continued to mitigate the workers’ health
effects due to vibrations.
Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
104
Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of finished
products and raw materials will be planned in line with the same.
2.21.4 Water Environment
i. Potential Impact due to Location
Impact on Existing Water Resources
During operation phase, water requirement for proposed unit will be mainly for process,
condenser cooling water, DM water for steam generation, service water, domestic use, fire
water, green belt etc.
The water requirement for the existing facility is 8.775KLD, which is met from private water
suppliers. The additional water requirement due to the expansion will be 41.225KLD, and
thus the total water requirement after expansion will be 50KLD. The fresh water requirement
will be met from private water suppliers
The sewage generated will be treated in Pacakged sewage treatment of Jhokosa process 3
KLD and the treated sewage will be used for greenbelt. Wastewater generated from the
project will be treated in ETP and Zero Liquid Discharge will be maintained, hence the
impact due to the proposed project is very minimal.
ii. Impacts To Surface Water Bodies
The surface water and groundwater are the life line of the villages. All the ponds in the area
are working as recharge sites for the under lying groundwater and hence the surface water
and ground water systems are acting like a single unit and therefore cannot be seen in
Isolation.
Any contamination in surface drainage due to operation of project could collapse the system
and will have serious impacts to the water resources especially the availability of potable
water in the PIA area. The impacts will be high in the core area especially the 5.0 km radius
area. Therefore the efficiency of Zero Liquid Discharge will be ensured with proper
regulatory and institutional arrangements.
Mitigation Measures
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report

Though the proposed development will not draw Groundwater, the following measures are
proposed as a part of development to improve the ground water scenario and also to ensure
that ground water is not contaminated.
Strategic plans such as implementing the following structures for rainfall harvesting and
groundwater recharging purposes in project site will be adhered.
Recharge pits
Only roof-top rain water harvesting
Rainwater storage ponds/tanks
Storage cum recharge ponds
Monitoring of water quality and groundwater level variations in the project site.
iii. Impact due to Wastewater Generation
The source of wastewater generation from the project is as follows:
Industrial process wastewater/effluent
Boiler and cooling water blow down
Domestic wastewater/Sewage
Equipment cleaning, floor washings, etc.
The details of wastewater quantities to be generated from the project is given in
Table 2-23. The untreated wastewater if discharged into nearby surface water may affect
the surface water and/or if disposed off on land without treatment may pollute the ground
and surface water.
Wastewater Quality and Quantity with Treatment methods
Existing: The sewage generated is sent to septic tank followed by Soak pit.
Industrial effluents from the plant is stored and neutralized in a collection tank (30 KLD). The
sludge from neutralization tank is dewatered and sent to TSDF and liquid effluent is sent to
forced evaporator (10 KLD), concentrate is sent to centrifuge, the solid is sent to TSDF and
centrifuge drain is mixed with effluents at neutralization tank for further treatment.
Proposed: The sewage will be sent to Packaged sewage treatment plant of Jhokosa
process of 3 KLD Capacity and the treated sewage will be used for Greenbelt.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report

Industrial effluents from the plant will be stored and neutralized in a collection tank (30 KLD).
The sludge from neutralization tank will be dewatered and sent to TSDF and liquid effluent
will be sent to MEE (30 KLD), Condensate after biological treatment will be recycled for
various application as shown in Table 2-14. MEE concentrate will be sent to ATFD, Salt
from ATFD will be sent to TSDF.
The existing wastewater treatment system is ZLD and the proposed system will also be a
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). There will be no discharge to land environment.
The break up in terms of volumetric contribution (for effluent & sewage) is given in

There are 6 no of tanks for each type of wastewater generated and the holding capacity of
each tank is 5 KL.
Mitigation Measures
ETP to treat industrial effluents.
Packaged sewage treatment plant of Jhokosa process 3 KLD Capacity for sewage
treatment and treated sewage will be used for Greenbelt.
ETP is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System. Treated wastewater will be recycled for
various application as shown inTable 2-14.
A storm water drainage system is already developed for the project site.
The runoff from uncontaminated areas will be used for greenbelt area.
The oil contaminated water, if any will be sent to oil water separator; separated oil will
be sent to KSPCB approved vendors and water will be sent to ETP for further
treatment. The treated water will be re used for various applications.
2.21.5 Biological Environment
Impact on Migratory Paths for Wildlife and Forest Blocks
There are no identified migratory paths for major and minor wildlife in the project site and the
study area. The identified fauna which are observed at the project site and in the study area
are local species only. Therefore the proposed project operations are not likely to have any
adverse impact on the paths for avid-fauna.
Mitigation Measures
Discharge of wastes/wastewater without treatment into the water bodies during the
operation phase will not be carried out.
Awareness will be given to workers about the importance and conservation of
terrestrial ecology and biodiversity.
2.21.6 Solid Waste Management
Impact due to Solid Waste Generation
During operation phase, various types of solid waste are likely to be generated which can be
broadly categorized as Hazardous Wastes and Municipal Solid Wastes, generated Municipal
Solid Waste includes biodegradable, recyclable and inert compounds.Munisolid waste
generation may include Biodegradable, Recyclable and Inert compounds. The details of
solid waste generation and its management proposed are discussed in Section 2.14. If the
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
108
solid waste generated is not properly managed and disposed in unauthorized manner, it will
impact on soil quality, groundwater and air quality.
Solid Waste Management
Strict guidelines will be put in place in order to manage the solid waste generation during the
operational phase of the development. The main goals of the guidelines will be to ensure
adopting recycling techniques and encouraging sorting of solid waste at source into organic
and inorganic wastes. Solid waste management concept is given in Figure 2-13.

Natural resources
Climatic conditions, seismic zone characteristics and natural hazard
3.5.1 PIA District Profile
The Bidar district is the northern most part of the Karnataka state with geographical area of
5460 sq.km. It lies between 17°35’ and 18°29’ North latitude and 76°41’ to 77°39’ East
longitude. It is bounded by Nizamabad and Medak districts of Telangana state on the
eastern side, Latur and Osmanabad districts of Maharastra state on the western side,
Nanded district of Maharastra state on the northern side and Gulbarga district on southern
side.Source: http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/BIDAR_brochure.pdf
Note: Andhra Pradesh state was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during
2014.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
119
3.5.2 Climatic Conditions
The district experiences semi-arid climate with extreme summer. The dust storms and
severe heat waves are common in the district between April and May. The temperature
begins to rise towards the end of February till May, which is the hottest month of the year.
Coldest months are December and January. The temperature varies in the district between
20 ºC and 42 ºC The year in the district may be divided into summer season from March to
May, southwest monsoon season from June to September, post-monsoon season from
October to November and winter season from December to February. Generally, the
monsoon sets in the month of June and reaches its climax in the month of September. The
rainfall generally is spread over 39 to 53 days. Nearly 75% to 80% of the annual rainfall is
during the period of Southwest monsoon. A few showers are also received during the North-
East Monsoon, generally in the month of December. Bidar district receives an average
rainfall of 827 mm. The normal annual rainfall over the district ranges from 735 mm to 860
mm.Source:http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/BIDAR_brochure.pdf
3.5.3 Flora & Fauna
The weeds and climber found in the forest of the district are not of much economic
value. Some different type of grass which grows in the area are not of nutrient type for the
cattle and therefore useful for thatching roof of huts and houses. The minor forest produce
consist tupra (beedi) leaves, rousa grass, seetaphal, honey, wax, tamarind and mango fruits.
The most common shrubs are Bikke (Gardenia gummifera, Linn) and Gotti or Challe
(Ziziphus xylopyrus willd). They are mostly used for fencing the fields. The following are the
tree species found in the district: Acacia arabica (Jali or babul), Tamarindus indica, Linn
(Hunase), Butea frondosa, Palash, Anogeissus latifolia, wall (Dindiga), and Hardwickia
binata.
The scantiness of forest accounts for almost a total absence of denizens of the forest
that can be said to belong to the big game variety. There is no tiger. Occasionally, leopard
may be seen. Wolves are found in the craggy portion of the undulating forest. As many as 30
varieties of bats are found in the district. Heads of the small deer appears during winter. The
more important among the domesticated animals are the buffalo, the cow, the sheep, the
goat and the camel. Flora and fauna of PIA are discussed in Section 3.11.Source:https://cdn.s3waas.gov.in/s32ca65f58e35d9ad45bf7f3ae5cfd08f1/uploads/2018/07/20180720

3.5.4 Forest Resources
Bidar is not in any way noted for its forest wealth. As per the Statistics provided by the
Directorate of Economics and Statistics, out of 5,44,800 hectares of total geographical area,
only 27,707 hectares are covered under forest, forming just 5.1 percent of its geographical
area. About 50 percent of the forest area is located in Homnabad taluk. Mangoes, sitaphal
and tamarind besides tupra leaves are the minor products. Of late, there have been
consistent efforts on the part of State Forest Department to encourage natural regeneration
of forests and to introduce forestation measures in the district.

3.5.5 Irrigation
In the district, irrigation takes place from surface water and ground water. The surface water
irrigation is through canals, tanks and from medium and minor irrigation projects. Major
irrigation dam has been constructed across the Karanja river and medium irrigation dam
constructed across Chukkenala and Mullamari rivers. From ground water the irrigation is
through dug wells, dug cum bore wells and bore wells.

3.5.6 Agricultural Resources
According to 2011 Census, 60.0 percent of total workers are engaged in agricultural sector
i.e., cultivators (20.1 percent) and agricultural labourers (39.9 percent). The size of the
agricultural holdings is one of the important factors that determine the productivity of the
land. It is observed that the number of marginal holdings below one hectare and small
holdings of size one to two hectares constitute 66.95% of the total holdings. Only 1.08%
holder own land more than ten hectares.Wheat, paddy, jowar, maize and tur are major crops
grown in the district. Major portion of the area is put under cultivation of wheat and cereals.
Sufficient amount of area is put under cultivation of rice and paddy too. The yield of paddy
under irrigated area is 1,862 kg per hectare whereas, it is 444 kg per hectare under
unirrigated conditions. The yield of wheat is 1,613 kg. per hectare under irrigation and 769
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
121
kg. per hectare under unirrigated conditions. Among the oil seeds, mention may be made of
safflower, groundnuts, sesame, niger seeds and sunflower. Sunhemp, mesta, sugar cane
and cotton are the commercial crops grown in the district. Sizable amount of land is put
under plantation and horticultural crops. Important among them are tomato, onion, banana,
grapes, brinjal, potato, cabbage, pomegranate, guava and mango. The other condiments
and spices produced in the district are dry chillies, turmeric, dry ginger, coriander and garlic,
etc.Sources:https://cdn.s3waas.gov.in/s32ca65f58e35d9ad45bf7f3ae5cfd08f1/uploads/2018/07/2018072

3.5.10 Geology of PIA District
The district is entirely covered by the Deccan trap flows of tertiary period. The Deccan traps
are composed of horizontal flows of basaltic lava. They generally form flat topped hillocks
and terrace like features. The physical characteristics of individual flow show considerable
variation. Some flows are hard and massive, while others are weathered, soft and friable.
The top layers of the Deccan trap in parts of Bidar are altered to reddish vesicular laterite
forming extensive undulating plateau. The entire study area is covered by the Laterite
formation. Geology map of Karnataka marking the project site is given in Figure 3-11.

3.5.12 Hydrogeology of PIA District
The entire district is underlain by lava flows of the Deccan trap except small area
covered with the laterites capping. Deccan trap consists of successive lava flows, almost
horizontal in disposition. Individual flows show considerable variation in physical character,
thickness, nature and extent of weathering etc. The basaltic lava flows are generally dark,
grey, hard and compact. Each lava flows normally consists two units lower massive basalt
and upper vesicular basalt. Secondary minerals like zeolites, quartz, calcite or some earthy
or ferruginous material fill the vesicles. Well-developed columnar joints and spherical
weathering are characteristic features of the massive basalt. The massive basalt and
vesicular basalt are similar in term of compositionally and texturally. The Hydrogeology map

3.5.13 Drainage Pattern in PIA District
The major part of the district comes under Godavari basin, drained by its two major
tributaries, the Manjara and the Karanja River. The Manjara River is perennial and flows
over a distance of 155 km in the central parts of the district and flows towards eastern
direction with a meandering course. The Karanja River flows in northwestern direction for
74km. Karanja reservoir is built on this river. The river Mullamari takes its origin near Matala
village of Basavakalyan taluk and flows from west to east direction for a length of 38 sq.km
and then flows into Gulbarga district before joining the river Kagna. The Kagna River is one
of the major tributary of Bhima River. Besides these, there are several streams, which are of
ephemeral in nature. The drainage pattern in the district varies from sub-dendritic to dendritic
and some streams have a sub parallel drainage to the main river.Drainage map of the study
area is given in Figure 3-15.

3.5.14 Soils in PIA District
Two important types of soil are noticed in the district and they are black soil and lateritic soil.
Major parts of the district comprises of black soils and are derived from Deccan traps. These
are deep black in colour and their texture varies from loam to clay. Lime concentration in this
soil is high resulting in poor infiltration capacities. Their infiltration characteristics are poor to
moderate. This type of soil is found mainly in areas lying below 610 m contour and along the
valley portions. Lateritic soil is confined to the central portion of the district. Lateritic soils are
pale to bright red in colour and clay to clayey loam in nature. This soil has moderate to good
infiltration characteristics. This type of soil is found mainly in areas lying above 610 m
contour. Soil Map of marking the project site is given Figure 3-16.Source: http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/2012/BIDAR_brochure%202012.pdf

3.6 Air Environment
Baseline ambient air quality assessment gives the status in the vicinity of site and is an
indispensable part of Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Significant changes, in
predominant winds and weather conditions are observed in winter, summer and post-
monsoon seasons apart from the local topographic influences. The baseline status of air
environment in the study area is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance
programme.
3.6.1 Meteorological Conditions
The regional air quality is influenced by the meteorology of that region. The principal weather
parameters that influence the concentration of the air pollutants in the surroundings are wind
speed, wind direction and temperature. The meteorological data is useful for proper
interpretation of the baseline data. It is used as input for air quality dispersion models for
predicting the post project environmental scenario i.e. ground level concentrations due to
Utilities such as Boilers, DG sets etc.
3.6.2 Meteorological Data Collection
Available secondary data pertaining to the meteorological parameters was obtained from the
IMD Climatological tables. In addition, baseline meteorological data (primary data) was
generated during Oct-Dec 2018. The methodology adopted for monitoring surface
observations is as per the standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
i.e. IS:8829 and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
3.6.3 General Meteorological Scenario based on IMD Data
The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) station located to project site is Bidar.
The Climatological data for Bidar (17032’N and 77032’E), published by the IMD, based on
daily observations at 08:30 and 17:30 hour IST for a 30-year period, is presented in the
following sections on the meteorological conditions of the region. The monthly variations of
the relevant meteorological parameters are reproduced in Table 3-5.

3.7.2.2 Observations
The ambient air quality has been monitored at 8 locations for 18 parameters including 12
parameters as per NAAQS, 2009 within the study area. The average baseline levels of PM10
(47.1 – 63.1 µg/m³), PM2.5 ( 19.8-26.9 µg/m³), SO2 (6.8 – 12.6 µg/m³), NO2 (15.4 – 26.1
µg/m³), CO ( 0.33-0.85 mg/m3) and some are BDL, all the parameters are well within the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Industrial, Commercial and Residential areas at
all monitoring locations during the study period.
3.8 Noise Environment
The prevailing ambient noise level at a particular location is nothing but the resultant (total)
of all kinds of noise sources existing at various distances around that location. The ambient
noise level at a location varies continuously depending on the type of surrounding activities.
Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at Eight (08)locations in and around 10Km distance from project area during the study period using
precision noise level meter. The noise monitoring locations in the study area were selected
after giving due consideration to the various land use categories. The land use categories
include commercial, residential, rural and sensitive areas. Noise levels were recorded on an
hourly basis for one complete day at each location using pre- calibrated noise levels. The
map showing noise monitoring locations are given in and Figure 3-22.
3.8.1 Results and Discussions
Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the day equivalent
(Ld) and night equivalent (Ln) were calculated;
Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.
Ln: Average noise levels between 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.
The comparison of day equivalent noise levels (Ld) and night equivalent noise levels (Ln)
with the respective CPCB stipulated noise standards for various land use categories are
shown in the Table 3-10.

3.8.1.1 Observations
It is observed that the day equivalent and night equivalent noise levels at all locations are
within prescribed CPCB standards.
In industrial area day time noise levels varied from 58.7 dB(A) to 62.0 dB(A) and 53.0
dB(A) to 59 dB(A) during night time, which is within prescribed limit by MoEF&CC (75
dB(A) Day time & 70 dB(A) Night time).
In commercial area day time noise level was 57.0 dB(A) during day time and 55.0 dB(A)
during night time, which is within prescribed limit by MoEF&CC (65 dB(A) Day time & 55
dB(A) Night time).
In residential area day time noise levels varied from 53.2 dB (A) to 54.7dB (A) and night
time noise levels varied from 44.5dB (A) to 52.0 dB (A) across the sampling stations. The
field observations during the study period indicate that the ambient noise levels were
within the limit prescribed by MoEF&CC (55 dB (A) Day time & 45 dB (A) Night time).

3.9.1 Surface Water Resources
The district has three rivers – Manjara, Mullamiri,Chulkinla. District falls under Godavari river
and the Krishna basin. The Godavari basin extends over 4411 sq.km and the Krishna basin
cover 585 sq.km. the net irrigated area is 16% to the net sown.

3.9.2 Surface Water Quality Assessment
Water quality monitoring and assessment can be used to determine ambient water quality,
the extent and causes of a water quality problem, or to measure the effectiveness of best
management practices being implemented in water system. Monitoring helps to determine
the trends in the quality of the aquatic environment and the impact due to the release of
contaminants, other anthropogenic activities, and/or by waste treatment operations (impact
monitoring).To establish the baseline status of water environment, the representative
sampling locations for surface water within a radial distance of 10Km from project site was
selected as per CPCB guidelines of Water Quality Monitoring through an adequate survey of
the project area. Test methods used for the analysis of water quality parameters is given in
Table 3-11. Water sampling and map showing water sampling are given in Table 3-12 and
Figure 3-23.

3.9.3.1 Groundwater Quality
Groundwater is the principal source for domestic and drinking purposes in almost all
villages near the study area. The quality of the groundwater received is influenced by
pollution of soil and air, industrial and domestic waste disposal, organic components,
pathogenic microorganisms, application of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture, etc. Total
Eight (08) ground water monitoring locations were identified for assessment in different
villages around the project site based on the usage of sub surface water by the settlements/
villages in the study area. The groundwater results are compared with the acceptable and
permissible water quality standards as per IS: 10500 (2012) for drinking water. Groundwater
quality monitoring locations and results are given in Table 3-16 and Table 3-17. Map
showing the groundwater monitoring locations are given in Figure 3-25.Table 3-16 Details of Groundwater Quality Monitoring Locations

4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
4.1 Introduction
Environmental Impact is any change in the environmental attributes, adverse or beneficial, caused
or induced by the proposed action or set of actions. The predicted adverse impacts during each
stage of project development are superimposed over the baseline status of the existing
environmental quality to infer the scenario of environmental conditions in the post-project stage.
The main purpose of identifying the impacts is that it helps in adopting appropriate mitigation
measures for the adverse consequences if any.
Predicting and evaluating the various significant impacts that are likely to occur. The impacts on
the environmental indices viz. air, water, soil, noise, biological and socioeconomic conditions are
scrutinized methodically and assessed.
4.2 Impacts due to Land Acquisition and Location
The proposal is an expansion project within the existing facility in KIADB. Therefore, there will not
be any land acquisition requirement and no impact due to location will arise.
4.2.1 Impacts due to changes in land use pattern
The project site land area is 15657 sq. m (3.87 Acres), located within the Industrial area. Since
this is an expansion project which involves some construction work there will be little change in
existing land use pattern of the project site.
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during operational phase of the
project on the land environment.
Air emissions will be effectively controlled by use of scrubbers and therefore deposition of
air pollutants in and around the premises and surrounding area is not envisaged.
Disposal of solid waste will be carried out through authorized vendor.
ZLD will be maintained . No effluent will be discharged directly on land without treatment.,
impact on the land environment is not envisaged.
Hazardous materials are prohibited to be drained or dumped in the premises. Accidental
spills will be cleaned, reported and monitored.
Thus, no impact on land is envisaged due to discharge of gaseous emission, solid waste or
liquid effluent from the proposed expansion.
The most likely impacts on the environment due to the proposed project need to be appraised
during the two different phases of the project namely pre-operation/ construction phase and
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
199
operation phase. The particulars on impacts that could be triggered on the environmental attributes
by the activities of the proposed project are discussed below.
4.3 Construction Phase
Impact assessment during the construction phase of the project is of importance as the
construction activities lead to adverse effects on the environment on a short term basis. The major
activities that are undertaken during this phase are civil works, mechanical works, machinery works
and transportation works.
During the construction phase, the following activities among many are considered to be important
towards creating environmental impacts:

8. Inadequate use of plant and equipment, namely, running on full power when the work
does not necessitate it will be avoided.
9. Personal protective equipments, education and public awareness and exposure control
through rotation of work will be provided to the workers engaged in construction activities
in the area generating high levels of noise.
4.3.5 Waste Generation
1. Sources of waste are construction debris such as bricks, steel scrap, wooden scrap, sand
and gravel etc.
Mitigation measures
1. Prior to commencement of construction works, assessment of materials required, location
and planning of available space for its storage will be conducted.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
203

4.3.6 Ecology
The proposed expansion is within the existing facility and is within the industrial area,
hence no impacts have been expected to arise on the biological environment. Except for
the removal of weeds, the ecological status of the site will be well maintained by
conserving/developing the green belt at the site.
4.3.7 Social Environment
1. The impacts of construction activities is beneficial on the social environment as it
contributes to the economic and social development by providing employment to about 10
workers during the construction phase and thereby raising the standards of living and
quality of life.
2. Procurement of construction materials locally leads to increase in trading opportunities.
4.4 OPERATION PHASE
From an environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to its potential to
invoke long-term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur during this operational phase
of the project are: Air Pollution (gaseous emissions), Effluent generation, Noise generation, Solid
waste generation etc.
4.4.1 Land Environment
The land use of the existing area is already industrial use. The proposed expansion is within the
existing facility hence there will be no change in land use pattern.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
204
Discharges on Land-Impact
The sewage will be sent to Packaged sewage treatment plant of Jhokosa process 3 KLD Capacity
and treated sewage will be used for green belt and the industrial effluent will be treated in ZLD,
hence there will be no discharges on land premises.
Mitigation Measures
1. Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines
2. Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken parts of the
conveyance pipeline in case of any leakage is detected.
3. Necessary preventive measures for spillage from pipelines, such as surface RCC
channels along the pipelines is adopted.
4. Lining of effluent collection tank/ETP common guard pond.
5. Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using it for various
requirements.
6. Regarding ETP-There will be institutional arrangement to check the efficiency of Zero
Liquid Discharge.
Impacts- Soil Contamination
Potential impacts on land environment are envisaged due to hazardous and non-hazardous wastes
generated due to various operations in the project site. Sludge generated during production
process, chemical waste, oil slurry, Salts from ATFD etc are the source of hazardous waste.
Sludge from ETP will be generated. Poor management of such materials/wastes from the
operations is a potential risk of soil contamination.
Soil – Mitigation Measures
Good housekeeping and best practices of waste handling will be adopted to eliminate/minimise the
risks of soil contamination. The wastes generated will be stored in temporary storage facility and
transferred to nearby Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) and also to the approved
vendors of Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) landfill and Co-processing. However,
waste minimisation techniques will be adopted in order to minimise the generation of wastes.
4.4.2 Air Environment
The major air pollution sources from the industry are DG sets, boilers and reactors. The DG set
and boiler sources are provided with stacks of adequate height so as to disperse the emanating
flue gases containing particulate matters, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen without affecting the ground
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
205
level concentrations. The emissions generated from the reactors are scrubbed out by wet
scrubbers.
4.4.2.1 Meteorological Data
The site specific meteorological data for three months from October 2018 to December 2018 was
obtained from secondary sources. Other data included for AERMET were daily wind speed, wind
direction, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, precipitation, and solar radiation recorded
during the period. AERMET reformats meteorological data so that it can be used as input for
AERMOD model.
Figure 4-1 Windrose Diagram for Study period
4.4.2.2 AERMET Process
For the 3 phase AERMET processing of the meteorological data, specifications of the land use in
the area are required to determine the terrain roughness for modeling. The land use was
characterized for in and around the site. The surface characteristics for the site and surroundings
were selected and used to calculate the albedo, Bowen ratio and surface roughness parameter.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
206
The meteorological data were processed in the AERMET software to generate wind flow pattern &
to generate surface meteorological data and profile meteorological data in a prescribed format that
can be fed to AERMOD for modeling.
4.4.2.3 AERMOD Process
AERMOD Software Version 7.5.0 was used for air dispersion modeling and is applicable to a wide
range of buoyant or neutrally buoyant emissions up to a range of 50 km. In addition to more
straight forward cases, AERMOD is also suitable for complex terrain and urban dispersion
scenarios.
AERMOD is a steady-state plume model. In the stable boundary layer (SBL), it assumes the
concentration distribution to be Gaussian in both the vertical and horizontal. In the convective
boundary layer (CBL), the horizontal distribution is also assumed to be Gaussian, but the vertical
distribution is described with a bi-Gaussian probability density function (pdf). This behavior of the
concentration distributions in the CBL was demonstrated by Willis and Deardorff (1981) and Briggs
(1993). Additionally, in the CBL, AERMOD treats “plume lofting,” whereby a portion of plume mass,
released from a buoyant source, rises to and remains near the top of the boundary layer before
becoming mixed into the CBL. AERMOD also tracks any plume mass that penetrates into the
elevated stable layer, and then allows it to re-enter the boundary layer when and if appropriate. For
sources in both the CBL and the SBL AERMOD treats the enhancement of lateral dispersion
resulting from plume meander. The emissions from existing and proposed additional stacks are
estimated and only proposed additional stack emissions are used for the air dispersion modeling
as shown in Table 4-1. Maximum first 10 highest concentration values obtained by modeling for
SO2, NOx and PM for 24 hrs average is given in Table 4-3 toTable 4-5 and Ground Level
Concentration (GLC) for proposed additional stacks is shown in Figure 4-2 to
Figure 4-4.

4.4.2.4 Conclusion
It was observed that the maximum concentration observed due to proposed expansion for PM, SO2
and NOx are 0.574 µg/m3, 3.104 µg/m3 and 3.593 µg/m3. So it can be concluded that even after the
expansion of the plant the impact envisaged is minimum. The total increase in concentrations
above baseline status due to proposed stacks is estimated and the percentage increase is
summarized in Table 4-6.

Mitigation Measures
All air pollution control measures like scrubbers/Cyclone separators will be provided by the
industry.
Ambient air quality monitoring will be carried out regularly at selected locations in order to
check and compare the predicted concentrations with the measured concentrations.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
211
NAAQS Exceedance if any may be checked thoroughly and adequacy/Performance of Air
Pollution Control measures shall be reviewed.
Water sprinkling will be carried out on road surfaces in the project area.
Adequate Greenbelt width is provided.

vehicles will be periodically checked to ensure compliance to the emission standards.
In addition, Environmental Management Cell (EMC) will ensure that unit will be with
essential pollution control measures as stated by KSEIAA /KSPCB.
4.4.3 Noise Environment
Impact
Noise generation sources during operation phase is classified into two categories:
Stationary sources due to operation of heavy duty machineries at the project site like
Boilers, Compressors, DG sets, Pumps etc.
Mobile sources corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization, materials,
material transportation, liquid fuel transportation to project site, etc.
Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with the proposed
project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations beyond the site would be
negligible during normal operation phase. However, the impacts on workers engaged in the
plant area would be considerable due to occupational exposure. The proposed fixed major
equipment/units such as boiler house, compressors, pumps, DG sets etc., also generate
vibrations during operational phase and may cause exposures to the workers/operators
engaged at these units.
Mitigation Measures
The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, Boiler Feed water
pumps etc. will be enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for an insertion loss of 25 dB
(A) and silencers to other equipment etc.
Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring cumulative
noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).
The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly time weighted
average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) standard limits.
Acoustic silencers will be provided in equipment wherever necessary.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
212
Acoustic design with sound proof glass panelling will be provided for critical operator cabins
/ control rooms of individual modules as well as central control facilities.
Use of personal protective equipments/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs etc. will be
strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.
Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental works will be
carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts will be lubricated to minimise
noise emissions.
Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub plantation;
landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle parking areas and along
approach roads.
Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational phase of the
project.
Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet international
standards and foundations will be so designed to minimise vibrations and secured properly.
Vibration generating sources and their platforms should be maintained properly to minimize
vibrations and related impacts.
Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies like Bureau of
Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS), which is being
practiced would be continued to mitigate the workers’ health effects due to vibrations.
Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.
Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of finished
products and rawmaterials will be planned in line with the same.
4.4.4 Water Environment
4.4.4.1 Potential Impact due to Location
Impact on Existing Water Resources
During operation phase, water requirement of proposed units will be mainly for process, condenser
cooling water, DM water for steam generation, service water, domestic use, fire water, green belt
etc.
The water requirement for the existing facility is 8.775KLD, which is met from private water
suppliers. The additional water requirement due to the expansion will be 41.225KLD, and thus the
total water requirement after expansion will be 50KLD. The fresh water requirement will be met
from private water suppliers
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
213
Sewage generated will be treated in Packaged sewage treatment plant of Jhokosa process 3 KLD
Capacity and the treated sewage will be used for greenbelt. Wastewater generated from the project
will be treated in ETP and Zero Liquid Discharge will be maintained, hence the impact due to the
proposed project is very minimal.
Impacts To Surface Water Bodies
The surface water and groundwater are the life line of the villages. All the ponds in the area are
working as recharge sites for the under lying groundwater and hence the surface water and ground
water systems are acting like a single unit and therefore cannot be seen in Isolation.
Any contamination in surface drainage due to operation of project could collapse the system and
will have serious impacts to the water resources especially the availability of potable water in the
PIA area. The impacts will be high in the core area especially the 5.0 km radius area. Therefore the
efficiency of the Zero waste discharge will be ensured with proper regulatory and institutional
arrangements.
Mitigation Measures
Though the proposed development will not draw Groundwater, the following measures will be
proposed as a part of development to improve the ground water scenario and also to ensure that
ground water is not contaminated.
Strategic plans such as implementing the following structures for rainfall harvesting and
groundwater recharging purposes in project site will be adhered.
Recharge pits
Only roof-top rain water harvesting
Rainwater storage ponds/tanks
Storage cum recharge ponds
Monitoring of water quality and groundwater level variations in the project site.
4.4.4.2 Impact due to Wastewater Generation
The source of wastewater generation from the project is as follows:
Industrial process wastewater/effluent
Boiler and cooling tower blow down
Domestic wastewater/Sewage
Equipment cleaning and floor washings, etc.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
214
The details of wastewater quantities to be generated from the project are discussed in Section4.4.5.4. The untreated wastewater if discharged into nearby surface water may affect the surface
water and/or if disposed off on land without treatment may pollute the ground and surface water.

4.4.5 Biological Environment
Impact on Migratory Paths for Wildlife and Forest Blocks
There are no identified migratory paths for major and minor wildlife in the project site and the study
area. The identified fauna which are observed at the project site and in the study area are local
migrants only. Therefore the proposed project operations are not likely to have any adverse impact
on the paths for avi-fauna.
Mitigation Measures
The wastewater treatment system will be a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). There will be no
discharge to land environment.
Awareness will be given to workers about the importance and conservation of terrestrial
ecology and biodiversity.
4.4.6 Solid Waste Management
Impact due to Solid Waste Generation
During operation phase, various types of solid waste are likely to be generated which can be
broadly categorized as Hazardous Waste and Municipal Solid Waste. Further, the generated
Municipal solid waste will include Biodegradable, Recyclable and Inert compounds. The details of
solid waste generation and its management proposed are discussed in Chapter 2, Section 2.8.5.If the solid waste generated is not properly managed and disposed in unauthorized manner, it will
impact on soil quality, groundwater and air quality.
Solid Waste Management
Strict guidelines will be put in place in order to manage the solid waste generation during the
operational phase of the development. The main goals of the guidelines will be to ensure adopting
recycling techniques and encouraging sorting of solid waste at source into organic and inorganic
wastes. Solid waste management is given in Figure 4-5.

CHAPTER – 6ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING PROGRAM
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
221
6. Environmental Monitoring Program
6.1 Introduction
The primary aim of environmental monitoring program is to formulate a systematic, site-specific
plan for monitoring the environmental parameters within the impact area, during and after
commissioning of the project, which would aid in assessing the effectiveness of mitigation and
environmental protection measures implemented for the proposed project based on the existing
environmental scenario and the probable environmental impacts appraisal.
The plan framed for the intended facility will describe:
The details of the proposed mitigation measures taken for safeguarding the environment
at the project site as well as in the vicinity of the industrial site
Details of management plans (Greenbelt development plan, Solid waste management
plan etc)
Post project environmental monitoring programme to be undertaken after commissioning
of the project.
The associated cost components of the pollution control systems that will be installed at
the site.
For each of the environmental attributes, the monitoring plan specifies the parameters to be
monitored, location of monitoring sites, frequency and duration of monitoring and it also denotes
the applicable standards, implementation and supervising responsibilities.
6.2 Objectives
Ensure day to day operational activities are conducted in a manner in compliance with
the applicable regulatory approvals including legislation and industry standards.
Evaluate the adequacy of mitigation and pollution control measures implemented for
reducing the adverse impacts caused during the construction and operation stage and
suggest additional mitigation measures, if appropriate, in the light of the results.
Define a detailed framework to monitor and document for achieving full compliance with
statutory requirements.
Encourage good environmental management practices through planning, commitment
and continuous improvement.
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
222
Develop clearly defined environmental monitoring program designed to assess the nature
and extent of environmental impacts of the proposed operations and progressively refine
such programs against the targets.
Define roles and responsibilities of site personnel and ensure that all people onsite are
fully informed of their responsibilities and accountabilities with regard to the environment.

with standard operating process in order to comply with the statutory and bring into focus any
infringement of any norms and directives with regards to the SHE and to take further corrective
actions.
10.4 EMP for Construction Phase
Environmental impacts during the construction phase can be attributed to the site preparation
activity and the mobilization of workforce. The impacts of the construction phase on the
environment would be basically of transient nature and are expected to wear out gradually on
completion of the construction programme. However, once the construction of the project is
completed and its operations started, these operation stage impacts would overlap the impacts due
to the construction activities.
In order to mitigate such impacts and restrict them within tolerable levels, the following measures
shall be adopted:
1. Proper and prior planning of approach and access roads, and appropriate sequencing and
scheduling of all major construction activities.
2. Adoption of appropriate soil conservation programme and its timely implementation in the
proposed project site.
3. Initiation of an appropriate landscape programme including plantation of trees and flowering
plants in and around the project site particularly, at all available spaces which would serve
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
275
the dual purpose of controlling fugitive dust and abatement of noise levels in addition to
improving the aesthetics of the area.
4. Water sprinkling in the vulnerable areas to suppress the dust generated during excavation,
levelling and other operations.
5. Use of properly tuned construction machinery & vehicles in good working condition with low
noise & emission and engines turned off when not in use.
6. Control of quality of construction wastewater within the construction site through suitable
drainage system with traps for arresting the sediment load for its proposed disposal into the
main natural drainage system around the site.
7. Implementation of suitable disposal methods of sediment/ construction debris at designated
places to avoid water logging at construction site.
8. Provision of protective gears such as ear mufflers etc. for construction personnel exposed
to high noise levels and locating the temporary labour sheds for housing the construction
labourers away from the construction site.
10.5 EMP for Operational Phase
Monitoring during the operation phase shall reflect those environmental and socio-economic issues
that may persist upon completion of construction activities. Monitoring shall focus on evaluating the
effectiveness of project mitigation measures and continue baseline monitoring and sampling. The
mitigation measures to prevent adverse impact during the operation phase of the project shall
focus on the following:
1. Air quality
2. Noise environment
3. Water quality and water resources
4. Solid and hazardous waste
5. Land environment
6. Ecology
7. Socio Economic

The rain water harvesting/recharging pits along the inner periphery of the boundary provided. Each
recharging pit will be of 3x3x2m (LBD) dimension. These recharging pits are filled with graded
media comprising of boulder at bottom and with coarse aggregates to facilitate percolation of
harvested rainwater to recharge ground water table. The recharge pits are interconnected in such a
way that the rain led to the first recharge pit is also led to the next pit. Rain water harvesting is the
technique through which rain water is captured from the roof catchments with closed pipe system
(without mixing surface water to avoid the spillage contamination) into the recharge pits. The rain
water harvesting and storm water management layout is provided in the Annexure 8.

10.5.4 Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
Solid waste management
The source of Municipal solid waste in the industry will be from the domestic use. Solid wastes
generated will be stored and disposed to municipal authority.
Hazardous Waste Management
The various hazardous waste generated from the process are spent solvent, distillation residues,
chemical sludge from the effluent treatment plant and discarded bags from the raw materials
section. The hazardous wastes will be stored separately in hazardous waste storage area and
disposed to KSPCB authorized vendors within a stipulated period of time. Hazardous waste
materials will be properly disposed as per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and
Transboundary Movement) Rules, 1989 and subsequent amendment in 2016.
Solid and hazardous wastes generated in the facility and their disposal methods are detailed in the
Chapter 2, Section 2.14.
10.5.5 Land Environment
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during operational phase of the
project on the land environment.
Air emissions are effectively controlled by use of scrubbers and appropriate stack heights
for chimneys and therefore deposition of air pollutants in and around the premises and
surrounding area is not envisaged.
Disposal of solid waste is carried out through authorized vendor.
Plant is being maintained ZLD. No effluent is discharged directly on land without
treatment., impact on the land environment is not envisaged.
Hazardous materials are prohibited to be drained or dumped in the premises. Accidental
spills shall be cleaned, reported and monitored.
Thus, no impact on land is envisaged due to discharge of gaseous emission, solid waste
or liquid effluent from the proposed expansion of production capcity and product change.
10.5.6 Ecology
The proposed project is equipped with sewage and effluent treatment systems, and the treated
effluent will be recycled for various application as shown in Table 2-14. Solid wastes generated
during the operation phase are disposed off through authorized vendor and hence no impact is
M/s. Chiral Biosciences Ltd-EIA/EMP report
282
anticipated due to solid waste in and around the site. The air pollution control devices including
greenbelt already in place in the facility will control release of air pollutants to a greater extent. It is
expected that the ecology of the region is preserved by these mitigation measures.
10.5.7 Socio – Economic Environment
Proposed project creates employment for a population of 10 nos during construction phase and an
additional population of 45 Nos (permanent and contractual) during operation phase.
Due to the proposed project various modes of indirect employment i.e. transportation, increased
business opportunities to shopkeepers, small scale business entrepreneurs etc. will lead to
development of the area.

11.14 Conclusion
Typically any developmental projects also trigger a set of environmental and social impacts. These
environmental and social impacts (proposed development will not envisage any resettlement) due
to development projects occur in different forms. An Environmental Impact Assessment has been
carried out to study the potential environmental and social impacts due to the proposed project.
Potential environmental and social impacts due to the proposed development on attributes like air
quality, noise, water quality, soil, flora, socio-economic, etc. have been assessed as part of this EIA
study. Appropriate mitigation measures to help minimize/avoid impacts from the development have
been recommended. The measures include avoidance measures, mitigation measures and
environmental enhancement measures.
Anticipated project impacts and prevailing environmental issues are manageable and can be
avoided or mitigated or minimized to acceptable standards. Potential impacts have been identified
attributable to the proposed project and most of which are localized and temporary in nature and
can be mitigated with minor to negligible residual impacts.
