identified. Thus, main scopes of environmental impact assessment are described as
follows.
� To assess the prevailing environmental status within the study area around the
project site.
� To evaluate performance of the existing plant with respect to compliance of existing
environmental statutes & consents.
� To critically analyze the various activity of the proposed project and identify potential
source of environmental pollution.
� To identify and assess significant impacts of proposed project on environmental
components through matrix method.
� To suggest preventive and mitigation measures to minimize or avoid the adverse
impacts on the environment and to maximize the beneficial impacts.
� To prepare Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and delineate post-project
environmental monitoring program to be pursued by the industries.

and hazardous waste generation & disposal. These potentials of pollution are described
below under respective heading with necessary details;
2.11.1 Water Pollution The water requirement for the existing plant is met by borewell and the same source will
be utilized for the proposed expansion project. Based on the material balance and
technical experience of the similar industries, the water consumption and wastewater
generation for all the products as well as for various categories have been calculated.
Presently, the fresh water requirement for various domestic, gardening & industrial
activities is 45 KLD which will increase up to 186 KLD after proposed expansion. Industrial fresh water requirement of 141 KLD will be mainly utilized for process & APCM,
boiler make-up, cooling make-up, washing and WTP.
At present, total effluent generation from manufacturing process and other ancillary
industrial activities is 23.9 KLD. Effluent is treated in ETP and treated wastewater is
completely utilized for greenbelt development. After proposed expansion, total industrial
effluent generation from process, APCM, boiler, cooling, washing and WTP will be 110.8 KLD. Domestic sewage generation after proposed expansion will be 23 KLD.

2.11.1.1 EFFLUENT TREATMENT SCHEME & MODE OF DISPOSAL Presently, effluent generation from existing industrial activities is 23.9 KLD. After treatment
in ETP, treated wastewater is re-used for greenbelt development in existing premise.
Sewage generated from domestic activities is 6 KLD which is sent to soak pit through
septic tank system.
ETP scheme has been designed and proposed based on laboratory scale treatability
study of the effluent. Stream-wise and stage-wise characteristics of effluent have been
derived from the experience of similar kind of industry and treatability study carried in
laboratory and it is given in Table 2.13 (a, b) and 2.14 respectively.
After proposed expansion, total effluent generation from project will be segregated into
high COD/TDS and low COD/TDS concentration streams. High concentrated wastewater
stream from manufacturing process @ 25.3 KLD will be treated in proposed stripper
followed by Multiple Effect Evaporator. Treated water from stripper @ 25.3 KLD along with
WTP reject @ 39 KLD will be sent to MEE. Condensate water from MEE @ 102.9 KLD will
be sent to ETP along with other low COD/TDS waste streams i.e. Cooling @ 14 KLD,
Washing @ 27 KLD and Boiler @ 5.5 KLD. Thus, total hydraulic load of ETP will be 149.4
KLD.
After treatment in ETP followed by RO, permeate from RO @ 109.4 KLD will reused for
cooling and reject @ 40 KLD will be sent to MEE. Hence, there will be no discharge of
treated effluent and unit will maintain Zero Liquid Discharge.
In a view of proposed expansion, ETP comprising of primary, secondary and tertiary
treatment units will be designed to treat maximum 170 KLD effluents and MEE will be
designed to treat maximum 120 KLD capacity as shown in Figure 2.5. Technical details of
ETP are given in Table 2.15.
Sewage generation @ 23 KLD after proposed expansion will be treated in STP having
design capacity of 25 KLD and treated wastewater will be re-used for greenbelt
development. Unit will discontinue re-use of treated effluent from ETP for greenbelt
development.

basis. Flow meter will be provided at the inlet of MEE and outlet of ETP for proper effluent
treatment and management. In addition to this, relevant guidelines and directions given by
GPCB will be followed from time to time.
Total steam requirement for advanced effluent treatment unit viz. Stripper, MEE and ATFD
will be of maximum 1.7 TPH as shown in Table 2.16. Unit has installed steam boilers
having total capacity of 7 TPH (1 no. 3 TPH & 1 no. 4 TPH). Also, unit proposed to install
additional steam boiler of 6 TPH. Hence, it will be adequate to meet steam requirement for
the entire project including ETP.
2.11.1.2 Budget allocation for Effluent Treatment System The comprehensive effluent treatment for the proposed project comprises of primary,
secondary and tertiary treatment units along with Stripper & MEE. The capital cost and

The estimated capital cost of the proposed expansion will be Rs. 70 Crore, whereas total
capital investment required for effluent handling and treatment system will be Rs. 5 Crore.
The total investment required to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) comes to 7.14% of
the total project cost and this has already been considered in project planning right from
the conceptualization of the expansion project. Hence, it will not affect the implementation
of the overall project with ZLD system.
2.11.2 Air Pollution The main source of air pollution is flue gas generation from existing plant. There is no
process gas generation from existing plant. There are chances of fugitive emission due to
manufacturing activities and raw material handling and transportation. There will be flue
gas and process gas generation from proposed expansion project. Various sources of air
pollution are described hereunder.
2.11.2.1 Flue Gas Generation
Presently, Furnace Oil &/OR LDO is used as fuel in existing boiler (3 TPH-standby) and
thermic fluid heater (1 Lac Kcal/hr). Stack of adequate height is provided for proper
dispersion of gaseous pollutants into atmosphere. Biofuel (Agrowaste) &/OR coal is used
for existing steam boiler (4 TPH). Multicyclone separator followed by bag filter followed by
water scrubber is provided to existing steam boiler. Diesel is used as fuel in DG sets (500
kVA & 125 kVA) and stack of adequate height is provided to DG sets.
For the proposed expansion, Biofuel (Agrowaste) &/or coal will be used be for proposed
steam boiler (6 TPH). Multicyclone Separator followed by bag filter followed by water
scrubber will be provided as an APCM. Stack of adequate height will be provided to
proposed DG Sets (2 Nos. x 500 kVA). Details of flue gas emission are given hereunder in
Table 2.18.

Deciding whether a proposed action is likely to cause significant adverse environmental
effects is central to the concept and practice of EIA. Before proceeding for baseline
data generation, it is important to know the boundary limits and framework, so that the
data generated can be effectively utilized for impact assessment. In this context,
delineation of an impact zone plays an important role. Generally, the impact zone for
industrial actions is classified into three parts; Core Zone, Buffer Zone and Unaffected
Zone, as illustrated below and also shown in Figure 3.1. The area of impact zone
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report
Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-3: Baseline Environmental Status
Page | 3.4
invariably changes from project to project and depends on the nature and magnitude of
the project activities.
� Core Zone (Host and Proximate Area where the proposed activities are to be
commenced) - This area is the closest to the activity where the background quality
of environmental and human health is always at high risk. This involves risks due to
steady state, transient and accidental release of hazardous chemicals, release and
dispersion of gaseous pollutants from stack, propagation of noise, increased traffic
congestion and social stress.
Based on the modeling and analysis the maximum ground level concentration of air
pollutants due to stack emission and maximum threat due to accidental release of
hazardous chemicals will occur within 1 km. Considering these aspects, immediate
vicinity of the plant that is around 1 km radius is taken as factual core zone.
� Buffer zone (Moderately affected area)- Being a little away from the activity, the
discharge pollutants need time lag to be transported to this area and gets
attenuated/diluted to a considerable extent. However, the associated risk shall be
real during brake-down, failure or upset conditions, and simultaneously with adverse
meteorological and hydrological factors. Also, covering varied land cover around the
project site, which could be affected from proposed project, is considered as factual
buffer zone at a distance from 1 km to 5 km around the project site.
� Unaffected Zone- This area shall not be at risk of serious damage to life, health
and property. Here the impact becomes small enough to become imperceptible
and/or inconsequent and/or insignificant and normal life activities shall prevail
without any disturbances due to the activity. Distance away from the 5 km to 10 km
to the buffer zone is the factually unaffected zone in this case.
While generating the baseline status of physical and biological environment of the study
area, the concept of impact zone has been considered. The Impact zone selection is
based on preliminary screening. For environmental attribute, several primary and
secondary data has been collected and used for the assessment of impacts.

3.3 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT The baseline study was conducted during study period of March 2017 to May 2017 as
mentioned above. Detailed scope given in the approved TORs were referred and
baseline study was conducted to comply with all the requirements of approved TORs.
The study was carried out to determine the prevailing status of topography, land use,
meteorology, ambient air, water quality, soil quality, noise level, ecology and socio-
economic environment. The sampling, monitoring and analysis related to ambient air,
water, soil and noise during the baseline study were carried out by in-house NABL
approved laboratory of Envisafe Environment Consultants, Ahmedabad. The details
regarding the outcomes of the baseline study are described in subsequent sections
under respective heading.
3.3.1 Topography & Geology The topography of the region mainly comprises of almost flat terrain with most of the
part being low lying area. The lithological logs of the borehole data indicates that the
formation comprises of Alluvium both Aeolian and fluvial composed of sand, silt, gravel
clay and kankar. The thickness of alluvium is estimated to be about 20 to 60 m. From
the study of geological cross-sections, it is inferred that although it is comprising
predominantly of sand, the intervening clay layers which are not perfectly impervious
and does not act as a perfect confining condition. These are leaky aquifer.
3.3.2 Seismology The study area falls in Zone III as per IS 1893 (Part-I):2002, which is referred as
Moderate Damage Risk Zone. The area is liable to earthquakes of Modified Mercalli
Intensity Scale VII. The chart showing the seismic zoning map of state Gujarat is given
in Figure 3.4.

3.3.3 Land Use Pattern The study of land use in its spatial context is essential to understand the area of
optimum land use and degraded areas; the comprehensive study of land use is of
immense value to ensure better returns from the land to meet future requirements.
The satellite image/data has been processed using ERDAS Imagine software
supported with ground checks and ground truth verification by experts. Area and
distance calculations have been carried out using GIS software after geo-referencing
the interpreted data with the help of topographical maps. Satellite image of the study
area is given in Figure 3.5 and Land use / Land cover map of study area is given in
Figure 3.6.
Data illustrate that 76.52% of total land area is occupied by agricultural fields like crop
lands and fallow lands (cropland that is not seeded or a season; it may or may not be
ploughed. The land may be cultivated or chemically treated for control of weeds and
other pests or may be left unaltered.). As the soil type varies as sandy clay loam, clay
loam to silt loam type in nature, it facilitates cultivation of various crops like Groundnut,
Tuvar, Chana, Kapaas, Danger, Jowar, Ghanv, Bajri, and Sugarcane etc.

3.3.4 Meteorology Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere and is important
tool in studying environmental phenomena like pollutant dispersion. When the EIA
study is planned for any project meteorological data are very important and shall be
collected through the entire period of the baseline study. Typically for EIA,
micrometeorological data is required to collect as these data are essential to formulate
the pollutant dispersion models. Besides, it also helps in understanding the current
trend in climatologically variable as well as prevailing ambient air quality issues and
forecasting. Details of the various meteorological parameters analyzed during the study
with their importance in EIA are presented in subsequent Table 3.6. Information about
these parameters is taken from the Book “Climate of Gujarat” published by Indian
Metrological Department, Government of India-1995.
The climate of the study area is Arid, characterized by a hot summer and general
dryness except during the monsoon season. The year may be divided into four seasons
viz. the cold season from December to February, summer season from March to June,
southwest monsoon season from June to September and post monsoon season during
October and November.

1. Surface Temperature
Digital Sensor capable of giving electrical
signals e.g. thermocouples,
resistance thermometers or
thermistors.
� Temperature affect the plum rise & it increase the effective height of release and thereby increase dispersion and thus decreases the maximum ground level concentration of the pollutants.
� It also influences stability conditions and extent of dispersion of pollutants.
2. Relative Humidity
Digital Sensor capable of giving electrical
signals e.g. hydrometer.
� Moisture provides surface area for suspended particulate matter to coalesce and grow in the size and settle under the influence of gravity. It also enhances the chemical reactions of the gaseous pollutant. High humidity is associated with;
� Lowered visibility for water vapour plumes � Possible acid mist formation

3.3.4.1 Temperature March to May is a period of continuous increase in temperatures. May is generally the
hottest month, the mean daily maximum temperature being 39.7°C and the mean daily
minimum 26.9°C. The day temperatures in April are nearly as high as in May. On many
days during the summer season the maximum temperature goes up above 44°C. With
the onset of the southwest monsoon over the district in the first or second week of June
there is appreciable drop in day temperatures and days become cooler. But nights are
nearly as warm as during the nights in summer. After the withdrawal of the monsoon by
about the end of September there is an increase in day temperatures and a secondary
maximum in day temperature is reached in October. Nights however become
progressively cooler. After November, the temperatures decrease. January is the
coldest month with the mean daily maximum temperature at 31.4°C and the mean daily
minimum at 12.8°C.
3.3.4.2 Humidity Humidity is usually high during the monsoon months, generally exceeding 70 percent.
Humidity decreases during the post monsoon months. The driest part of the year is the
period December to April when the relative humidity is less than 30 percent mainly in
the afternoon period.
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-3: Baseline Environmental Status Page | 3.17
3.3.4.3 Cloudiness During the southwest monsoon months, the skies are usually heavily clouded or
overcast. Cloudiness decreases during the post monsoon months. In the rest of the
year the skies are mostly clear or lightly clouded.
3.3.4.4 Wind Speed and Wind Direction Winds are in generally light with some increase in force during the late summer and
early monsoon months. Winds blow mostly from the south-westerly or westerly
directions during May and the southwest monsoon season. Winds blow from the
northeast or north in the post monsoon season and early part of the cold season. In the
latter half of the cold season and in March and April winds are mostly from directions
between southwest and northwest. Monthly mean wind speed observed in Km/hr in
months of December, January & February are 5.0, 5.9 & 5.9 respectively.
3.3.4.5 Rainfall The average annual rainfall in the Bharuch district has been recorded 944.7 mm. The
rainfall in the district increases from the west towards the east and varies from 696.0
mm at Dahej to 1,266.7 mm at Dediapada. About 95 percent of the annual normal
rainfall is received during the monsoon months June to September, July being the
rainiest month. The variation in the rainfall from year to year is appreciable. During the
80 years period, 1901 to 1980, the highest annual rainfall amounting to 178 percent of
the normal occurred in 1959 and the lowest annual rainfall which was only 33% of the
normal occurred in 1918 and 1948. During this 80 years period, the annual rainfall in
the district was less than 80% of the normal in 22 years. Two consecutive years of such
a low rainfall occurred five times during this period. It will be seen that the annual
rainfall in the district was between 601 mm and 1,100 mm in 51 years out of 75. On an
average, there are 43 rainy days (i.e. days with rainfall of 2.5 mm or more) in a year in
the district. This number varies from 34 at Dahej to 58 at Dediapada.
3.3.4.6 Mixing Height Data of atmospheric inversion level for project area is not available, however the
mixing height data available for the nearest observatory of Ahmedabad (Gujarat) has
been taken from IMD publication, which are summarised below;

3.3.6 Ambient Air Quality Government of India and concern authorities have consistently ranked air pollution as a
major environmental concern. The state of our air is an important factor in the quality of
life. It affects the health of the community and directly influences the sustainability of
our lifestyles and production methods. The Government seeks to protect and improve
urban air quality through national action to reduce emissions of major air pollutants. The
Government department's focus is on those sectors that make the greatest
contributions to adverse air quality as well as those pollutants that continue to pose
threats to the environment and human health. National action can relate to the
implementation of relevant national standards and strategies and a common approach
to monitor air quality, research to inform air quality policy and community education on
air quality issues.
Recently, Government has also put forward some findings regarding the critical issues
of air quality & critical level of pollution in many part of India. Further, Government
through its concern department is continuously trying to improve the environmental
quality of the Indian regions. The findings have also noted that the issues of
contamination of air have been arising in the region experiencing more industrial
development. Hence, while studying the probable impacts of any industrial project,
establishment of state of air quality in project area has become very important aspect of
EIA study.
With such purpose, ambient air quality monitoring was conducted for the EIA study at 6
locations as given in Table 3.7. Ambient air quality monitoring stations were selected
based on historical wind data of the region i.e. one in upwind direction, two in downwind
direction and two in cross wind direction from project site. AAQ monitoring was carried
out for PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, HCl, NH3 and VOC. Methodology adopted for
conducting AAQ monitoring and analysis is given in Annexure 21. AAQ monitoring
results obtained during the entire study are given in Annexure 22.

at all the monitoring locations.
Concentration of NH3, HCl and VOC (as isobutylene) in ambient air were below
detectable limit at all the monitoring locations.
3.3.7 Hydrology The importance of water can’t be overstated when it comes to life on Earth. Over 70%
of the Earth is covered in water and without water simply there is no life. With
increasing industrialization & modernization in lifestyle, issue of water crisis either
quality and/or quantity of water is being critical day by day. The main source of such
crisis is found to be the activities requiring huge quantity of fresh water and generating
huge quantity of wastewater. Thus, such activities are posing threat to the life and the
industrial development is the prime operation of such activities. Hence, while studying
the probable impacts of industrial project, it is very important to determine the existing
status of water quality & quantity. The water resource for such investigations can be

groundwater or surface water or both depending upon the water specific planning of the
proposed project.
The geology of the district with vast area affected by inherent/coastal salinity, presents
a complex hydro geological pattern. As per CGWB, in terms of ground water
development, the entire Bharuch district falls under the Safe Zone. The ground water
occurs in alluvium aquifer under perched, unconfined as well as semi confined
condition. The area is having inherent salinity in aquifer and hence overall ground water
quality in this area is saline except in the well near surface water bodies yield relatively
good quality water. However, there is improvement in ground water quality due to
operation of Sardar Sarovar canal project in the region. The depth of water level is
ranging from 5 to 10 m. The regional surface water as well ground water flow direction
is almost from East to West or more precisely from North East to South –West. As
water supply from Narmada canal is available, people usually do not use ground water
for the drinking purpose. For industrial use water supply is managed by GIDC through
pipe line from Narmada river water. During study period, in some villages, ponds have
been observed from which water samples have been collected to find out the water
quality as a part of baseline study.
In general, water environment is widely divided into two categories in terms of water
sources:
1. Surface water: Rivers, Ponds, Drains, Canals etc.
2. Ground water: Accumulation in deeper strata of ground
Total 11 water samples have been collected from eight locations once during the study
period. Out of these, 8 Ground water and 3 Surface water samples have been tested.
The details of sampling locations are given in Table 3.8. Methodology adopted for
sampling and analysis are given in Annexure 21. The outcome of the study of water
quality is given in Table 3.9. Analysis results of water sampling are given in Annexure 22.

Following are the observations from the water analysis results:
� All the parameters of collected ground water samples were well within desirable limit
except colour, turbidity, dissolved solid, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium,
magnesium, chloride, boron, and copper at some villages. However, all the
parameters were well below permissible limit.
� All the parameters of collected surface water samples were well within desirable
limit except colour, turbidity, dissolved solid, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium,
magnesium, chloride, boron and copper at some villages, whereas only colour at
Vataria village and turbidity at Vataria and Dungri villages were found exceeding the
permissible limit as highlighted in Table 3.9.
� All the other parameters and parameters concerning toxic substances measured in
samples were below detection limit at all the locations.
� It is observed from the surface water analysis of the study area and compared with
classes for designated use of fresh Water Standards, that samples of study area are
suitable for “E Class” i.e. Irrigation, industrial cooling & Controlled Waste Disposal.
3.3.8 Soil Quality Soil quality is the capacity of a specific kind of soil to function, within natural or
managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or
enhance water and air quality and support human health and habitation. Soil quality
reflects how well a soil performs the functions of maintaining biodiversity and
productivity, partitioning water and solute flow, filtering and buffering, nutrient cycling
and providing support for plants and other structures. Thus, soil quality plays vital role
in any particular geographical phenomenon of ecology as well as physico-chemical
environment.
Soil quality can indicate the current as well as future issues related with the water,
ecology and life in the particular region. Thus, it is clearly visible that soil contamination
may result in eventuality in form of contamination of water, ecological destruction, loss
of productivity, food crisis and so threat to life. The major source of contamination is
liquid and solid wastes from industries as well as overuse of fertilizers & pesticide.
Thus, to determine the exact impacts of any proposed project, it is very essential to
determine the existing status of soil quality and existing stress through a study of soil
quality assessment. Considering this, surface soil samples were collected from eight

Following are the observations of the soil analysis results:
� Bulk density of soil samples was in range of 1.10 gm/cm3 to 1.53 gm/cm3, which will
have no significant effects on root growth.
� pH of the soil samples ranged from 7.3 to 8.5, which indicates free lime exists in the
soil which will have excellent filtration and percolation of water capacity at most of
the villages.
� Water Holding Capacity of soil samples were in range of 35.48% to 49.25%.
� The texture of soil observed in the study area varied from Silty clay loam, Clay loam
to Silt loam type.
� The Electrical conductivity of the samples varied from 431 to 702 μs/cm, which
indicates, no salinity ingress in the study area.
� The organic matter in the soil ranged from 3.2% to 4.6%. The result range signifies
that the soil is being maintained in an optimal desired range.
� The concentration of available Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium in the soil
samples signifies that the soil of the area is less fertile.
3.3.9 Noise level For the environmental status appraisal, noise is a sound that is loud, unpleasant,
unexpected or undesired. Such noise level is not only resulted because of industrial
activities but can also result due to transportation activities, domestic activities,
commercial activities, agricultural activities and entertainment activities of individuals or
group etc. All noises are not harmful but sound that is too loud or loud sound over a
long time is harmful. The hazardous noise can have many adverse effects on health
like headache, nausea etc. It can even damage sensitive structures of the inner ear and
cause noise-induced hearing loss. Considering these probabilities, our Government has
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-3: Baseline Environmental Status Page | 3.31
enacted the standards for noise level based on certain specific region as well as based
on time (Day & Night) through MoEFCC.
Thus, for EIA study it is very necessary to study the prevailing noise level during the
day & night time in the project area, as the noise from the proposed activities together
with the existing noise level may result in many issues related with human health as
well as social layout & quality. Considering this, the noise level monitoring at eight
selected locations on 24 hourly basis was conducted once during the study period.
Details of sampling locations are given in Table 3.12. The outcomes of the study are
presented in Table 3.13.

The monitored noise levels were compared with the standards prescribed by MoEFCC
which indicates that the noise levels at all the locations were found well within the limit
for day & night time.
3.3.10 Traffic Survey Traffic survey was conducted for prediction of impact on existing road infrastructure due
to incremental traffic after proposed expansion. In order to assess the prevailing traffic
volumes on the existing roads, the survey was conducted during peak hours of regular
working day of the week by avoiding local holidays or abnormal situations to reflect the
true picture of the traffic densities. Traffic data was collected at an intersection where
project site is connected to Ankleswar town and Valia village. Routes considered for
traffic assessment are given in Figure 3.12
Figure 3.12: Routes considered for traffic survey
Details of traffic survey are given in Annexure 23. It was observed that existing traffic
load observed on Road 1, 2 and 3 was 1105, 92 & 48 passenger car unit (PCU) per
hour. Additional traffic likely to be generated after proposed expansion will be maximum
of 8 truck trips per day, which will account for 24 PCU per day. Considering traffic
movement of 6 hours per day ‘to and from’ project site on each road individually
incremental traffic load will be 4 PCU per hour. Hence, there will be marginal increase
in traffic load. However, there will be no change in Level of Service (LOS) on each road
considering incremental traffic. LOS for existing roads 1, 2 & 3 is C (good), A (excellent)
& A (excellent) respectively which will remain the same after proposed expansion.

3.3.11 Ecological Status Flora and fauna are important components of the environment. They are organized into
natural communities with mutual dependencies among their members and show
various responses and sensitivities to anthropogenic activities. There is a wide range of
surveys methods for investigating different types of habitats, flora and fauna groups.
Each method has its own merits and limitations. In addition, each site to be studied has
its specific condition, which may render certain survey methods more suitable.
Present study was carried out to know the ecological status using different standard
methods suitable for surveying flora and fauna of the study area. A road survey in all
the accessible areas and in addition on foot surveys were conducted to document the
flora and fauna, along with topographic maps, interviewing people, forest working plans
and standard books (The book of Indian birds by Salim Ali, Flora of Gujarat by G. L.
Shah & Fauna of Gujarat by Zoological survey of India) to cover various species
belonging to different family and genera within the study area as far as possible.
Species surveys aimed to provide information on different species diversity and identify
those species of conservation concern.
3.3.11.1 Flora During the survey, a total of 170 plant species belonging to 155 genera and 75 families
were noted in the study area; including 64 tree species, 30 shrubs, 53 herbs, 16
climbers, creepers and lianas, and 7 crop plants. Most of the species are of common
occurrence.. Enumeration of Flora &list of plant species are given in Table 3.14 & 3.15
respectively.

3.3.12.1 Population Growth There are 59 villages of Bharuch and 11 villages of Surat coming within the study area
of 10 km from the project site and as per 2011 census the study area has total
population of around 1,03,011 indicating that the area is sparsely populated with
scattered settlements. The population ranges from 216 persons (Joli) to 6,192 persons
(Valia) for the total 70 villages and the population density varies from 67 persons per
sqkm (Rajpore) to 947 persons per sqkm (Valia). The average population density in the
study area is 242 persons per sqkm. The details of population and population density in
the study area are presented in Table 3.18 and the chromatic map showing population
distribution is given below as Figure 3.13.
3.3.12.2 Literacy An understanding of education and literacy profile in the region is relevant in order to
understand weather better jobs due to the proposed project could utilize the existing
human resource in the area. The literacy rate ranges from 35.6% (Umargam) to 74.1%
(Dadheda) for total 70 villages and the overall literacy rate in the study area is 52.2%,
which shows that literacy rate in the study area is low. The details of literates and
literacy rate in the study area are presented in Table 3.18 and the chromatic map
showing population literacy rate is given below as Figure 3.14.
3.3.12.3 Occupational Structure Economic aspects of the study area include the economical structure of the people of
the surrounding area. It can be predicted that economic structure of the study area will
be improved with time, because it consists large industrial area and hence there are
more employment opportunities. The geographical location, natural resources, business
and employment, industries and manpower play vital role in the economic development
of any region.
The employment ratio ranges from 29.3% (Karavel) to 70.1% (Itkala) for the 70 villages
and the overall employment ratio in the study area is 49.66%, which shows that
employment ratio is low. Thus, the proposed project will help to improve the status in
the study area by providing more employment opportunities. The details of workers and
employment ratio in the study area are presented in Table 3.18 and the chromatic map
showing workers distribution is given below as Figure 3.15.

CHAPTER – 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION Impact identification and prediction is a way of ‘mapping’ the environmental
consequences of the significant aspects of the project and its alternatives. The
identification of environmental impacts has been made by correlating the relationship
between project activity and environmental parameters. Several techniques and
methodologies are in vogue for predicting anticipated impacts due to projects on natural
and social aspects of the environment. These predictions are superimposed over the
baseline (pre-project) status of the environment to derive the ultimate scenario of
environmental conditions. These conditions are then subsequently evaluated for
acceptability by screening them against standards. Based on results of prediction and
evaluation, pollution abatement and control measures in order to mitigate the adverse
impacts on the environment are delineated in an Environmental Management Plan for
the construction phase as well as operational phase of the proposed project.
4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The preliminary importance of conducting impact assessment is to identify
environmental consequences from the proposed project on study area. To identify and
predict overall impact on environmental attributes, assessment task is performed for
both the phases i.e. Construction Phase and Operation Phase.
All possible factors are considered for the assessment of temporary, short term, long
term, direct, indirect as well as reversible and irreversible in nature of impacts. Various
techniques are available for impact identification, out of which matrix method has been
used to identify the impacts due to the proposed project activities.
4.2.1 Environmental Parameters For the purpose of the assessment of anticipated environmental impacts, some of the
environmental regimes are selected considering the probable impacts. The
environmental regimes along with the parameters predicted for the study area are given
below;

4.5.2 Air Environment A. Impact Assessment � The main source of air pollution will be flue gas emission and process gas emission
from proposed project. The significant pollutants identified due to flue gas emissions
are PM, SO2 and NOx and due to process gas generation are SO2, NH3 and HCl from
proposed expansion.
� There will be chances of fugitive emission from the manufacturing process as well as
from storage, handling & transportation of raw materials and product for the
proposed expansion project.
� Impact of the main point source of air pollution on air quality is evaluated using
mathematical models as described in following section;
B. Evaluation of Impacts using mathematical model The mathematical model stimulates the relationships between air pollutants emitted
from the source and their impact on surrounding air quality. The mathematical model
based on Gaussian theory, a computer-based version ISCST3, was used to calculate
Ground Level Concentrations (GLC) as a function of wind speed, direction and stability
class. The GLC for all the parameters like PM10, SO2, NO2, NH3 and HCl likely to be
emitted from the various stacks of the proposed project have been predicted using
above mathematical model.
The likely impacts on air have been studied based on following assumptions, 1. Maximum possible computed emission at full capacity utilization
2. All the sources of emission from proposed project are in simultaneous operation
3. PM10 emission would be 50% of the total PM emission for the steam boiler, and
100% for DG set.
The following methodology is adopted for the prediction based on above model.
1. Input Parameters The input parameters for the preparation of mathematical model consist of
micrometeorological data and potential of the air pollutants. The details of all the input
parameters are discussed here below.
� Micrometeorological Data Micrometeorological data viz. ambient temperature, Relative Humidity, wind speed,
wind direction, Cloud Cover, Rainfall, Radiation etc. required for the mathematical

modeling were collected for the site and the details of which are discussed and
elaborated in Section 3.3.5 of Chapter - 3 in earlier part of this report.
� Potential of the Air Pollutants The probable sources of air pollution are flue gas emission and process gas
emission. The details of stack emissions viz, physical stack height, inner diameter of
the stack at exit, gas exit temperature, gas exit velocity, quantity of pollutant
discharge etc. have been considered and taken for the processing of mathematical
model. The details of stack emissions likely to occur due to proposed project are
given in Table 4.4.

Isopleths diagram showing 1st highest 24 hourly average GLCs contour plots for the
PM10, SO2, NO2, HCl and NH3 for the proposed project are given in Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.5 respectively.
B) OBSERVATIONS � The maximum 24-hourly average ground level concentration for pollutant due to
proposed project calculated using mathematical model (ISCST3) for PM10, SO2,
NO2, HCl and NH3 are 2.738 �g/m3, 7.345 �g/m3, 0.7400 �g/m3, 0.564 �g/m3 and
4.891 �g/m3 respectively which is very low even for the worst-case scenario.
Moreover, this will occur at a distance of maximum 300 meters for PM10 & SO2 and
100 meters for NO2, HCl & NH3 from the source, where there is no permanent
habitat exists.
� The incremental ground level concentration of all the ambient air monitoring
locations is very negligible and practically nil as shown in Table 4.6 and therefore
there will not be any impact on the air quality of surrounding villages due to the
proposed expansion project.
� It is revealed that all the parameters are well within the NAAQS after consideration
of incremental concentration due to proposed expansion project as shown in Table 4.7.
� Baseline concentrations of HCl, NH3 and VOCs in ambient air were below detection
limit at all the locations within study area and incremental concentration is also very
negligible.
Thus, there will not be any considerable effect on ambient air quality due to the
proposed project. However, unit will provide adequate air pollution control measures for
the proposed project. Mitigative measures for the expected impacts on air environment
are discussed under the subsequent topic with appropriate heading.

4.5.7 Ecological Environment The impact due to the proposed project on the ecological parameters like natural
vegetation, crops, forests and species diversity is summarized in below texts:
� The proposed expansion will be carried out adjacent to the existing plant on Valia
industrial estate of GIDC. Hence, there will not be any cutting of natural vegetation
and chances of alteration of crop production and pattern of the area.
� Necessary environmental protective measures are planned under EMP for air, water
and hazardous waste management systems and regular environmental surveillance
is carried out so as to prevent any short-term or cumulative effect on the crops and
natural vegetation of the area for the existing project and same will be planned for
the expansion phase also as per requirement.
� There is no nation park or sanctuary located within the study area.
� No rare and endanger flora & fauna are reported within the study area.
4.5.8 Aesthetic Environment � Since the proposed expansion will be carried out at Valia industrial estate of GIDC,
unit will develop additional greenbelt area of 7,850 m2 to improve the overall
aesthetic view of the premises. Total greenbelt area will be 20,350 m2 (33%) after

4.5.9 Land Environment Infrastructural development for the proposed project as well as subsequent
developments in the nearby area may change the land use pattern of area. Since the
proposed expansion will be carried out adjacent to the existing plant and to be located in
Valia industrial estate of GIDC, electricity, water, roads, all basic amenities and
infrastructure are already available in the area. Hence, there will not be any change in
land use pattern in surrounding area.
4.5.10 Socio-Economic Environment a) Employment Opportunity Prediction of the socio-economic impacts of site would be totally a positive mainly due to
the employment opportunities. About 472 nos. of employees/workers will be employed
for proposed expansion project. The preference will be given to local population for
employment in the semi-skilledand unskilled category; this will increase the employment
opportunity in the surrounding area. Secondary jobs are also bound to be generated to
provide day-to-day needs and services to the work force. This will also increase the
demand for essential daily utilities in the local market and ancillary business
development to some extent for the local population. Thus, the proposed project is
expected to create a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic environment.
b) Industries During the operation activities, the required resources will be consumed maximum from
the local area. The increasing industrial activity will boost the commercial and
economical status of the locality, to some extent.
c) Public Health & Community Welfare Workers will be provided with basic amenities like safe water supply, low cost sanitation
facilities, first aid, required personal protective equipments, etc.; otherwise there could
be an increase in diseases related to personal hygiene. Moreover, unit will carry out
CER activities in nearby villages in the field of medical facilities, public health & welfare
and green belt development; this will contribute to improve the public health in the
region to some extent.
Hence, there will not be any adverse effect on the sanitation and the community health
of the area, on the contrary there will be beneficial impacts in the region as sufficient

Chapter-6: Environmental Monitoring Program Page | 6.1
CHAPTER – 6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 6.1 PREAMBLE The post project environmental monitoring program serves as the key tool to keep track
on performance of mitigation measures implemented & pollution control technologies
installed to prevent impacts associated with various operations of the project.
Environmental monitoring is the repetitive and systematic measurement of the
characteristics of environmental components to test specific hypotheses of the effects
of human activity on the environment. Environmental monitoring will be undertaken
primarily to determine the environmental effects of human activities, and secondarily to
increase understanding of cause-effect relationships between human activity and
environmental change.
Thus, environmental monitoring is the effective observation of site conditions and work
activities; and identification of potential non-compliance situations and initiation of
corrective or remedial actions. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution,
since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring.
6.2 MONITORING PROGRAM From the monitoring point of view, the important components are air, water, soil and
noise. Unit will carry out regular monitoring by NABL approved laboratory.
Environmental monitoring program for the proposed project is given in following Table 6.1.

7.1. RISK ASSESSMENT & SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Increasing use of hazardous chemicals as raw materials, intermediates and finished
products has attracted attention of the Government and the public at large in view of the
chemical disasters. The serious nature of the accidents, which cause damage to the
plant, personnel and public, has compelled industries to pay maximum attention to the
safety issues and also to effectively manage the hazardous material and operations. It
is mandatory for the industries handling hazardous chemical to maintain specified
safety standards and generate an on-site emergency plan and keep it linked with off
site emergency plan.
Risk assessment study for the proposed expansion project of M/s. Intas
Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has been carried out and the details are elaborated in this
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies Page | 7.3
chapter. Based on findings and recommendations of RA report, management plan for
the proposed expansion project has also been prepared and included.
Risk assessment is defined as a continuous and integrated process of identification,
evaluation and measurement of risks, along with their potential impact on the
organization.
The benefits of risk assessment include the following:
� Prevention or reduction in occurance of accidents.
� Mitigation of the severity and/or consequences by way of improved process
techniques, fire protection systems, arrangements of storage, inventory
monitoring to fit production requirements.
� Confidences develop in employees by improving competency.
� Preparedness and prompt response to deal with any accident.
7.2. OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY OF RISK ASSESSMENT
7.2.1. Objective
The principle objective of this study is to identify major risks in the manufacturing
process and to evaluate on-site & off-site consequences of identified hazard scenarios.
Pointers are then given for effective mitigation of hazards in terms of suggestions for
effective disaster management, suggesting minimum preventive and protective
measures and change of practices to ensure safety.
The following aspects and areas have been covered in this study;
� Identification of major risk areas.
� Hazard identification / Identification of failure cases.
� Consequential analysis of probable risks / failure cases;
o Determination of the probable risk by Releasing of chemical due to leakage of
storage tank and catastrophic failure.
o Risk assessment on the basis of the above evaluation & risk acceptability.
o Minimum preventive & protective measures to be taken to minimize risks to
maximum possible extent.
� Giving pointers for effective disaster management.
� Suggesting measures to further lower the probability of risk.

Chapter-7: Additional Studies
Page | 7.4
7.2.2. Methodology Design data, built in safety systems are studied. Discussions are held with officials.
Safety related individual system is discussed. Hazard identification exercise is
conducted taking into consideration of materials, material handling methods, operating
procedures, built in safety in reactors, operating parameters and safety measures to be
taken in proposed plant. Few areas like process building, storage of hazardous
chemicals, to evaluate safety systems in the event of any abnormalities occurring.
Containment failure scenario related to storage area is considered for hazard Analysis
and consequences of such containment failures are considered in detail. Thus, this
study is mainly oriented towards actual risks rather than chronic risks.
7.3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Identification of hazard in proposed project activity is of primary significance. Following
components of a plant presents potential for an accident.
� Storage and handling of hazardous chemicals,
� Manufacturing processes and allied operations in the plant
The unit will handle hazardous materials and will have organized hazard control and
prevention system in place and comly with all the applicable provisions of the following
statutes;
1. Factories Act, 1948 & Gujarat Factory Rules, 1963
2. Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (Amendment) Rules,
2000.
3. Petroleum Act, 1934 & Petroleum Rules, 2002
4. Gas Cylinder Rules, 2004
5. Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991
6. Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
In Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), risk has been analyzed using methodology
called Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA). Hazard will be identified
considering the following
� The physical and chemical properties of hazardous chemicals
� Storage conditions and modes of storage (Drum storage area, cylinders, above
ground storage / underground storage etc.)
� Hazard ranking by threshold quantity of toxicity and NFPA code
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies Page | 7.5
Hence, all these components are to be thoroughly examined to assess their potential
for an unplanned consequence of events, which can lead to an accident. After through
examination, hazard identification methods to be used for the proposed expansion are
listed as follows.
A. Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP): HAZOP refers to HAZard and OPerability studies. HAZOP is a structured and
systematic technique for examining a defined system, with the objective of identifying
potential hazards and operability problems in the system. The concept involves
investigating how the plant might deviate from the design intent.
For the proposed project HAZOP study will be conducted at design stage i.e. while
detailed designing of plant and processes are carried out. During HAZOP study, each
pipeline as well as reaction vessel, storage tank, product and raw material storage area
will be evaluated by considering certain limitations and deviations in flow, temperature,
pressure, etc. All possible causes of deviation which gives the idea about severity of
consequence arising from each type of deviation will be identified and accordingly
designing of suitable safety measures for plant, utility and tank farm area will be
incorporated in design.
B. Fault-Tree Analysis (FTA): Fault- tree analysis (FTA) is logical structure displaying the relationship between an
undesired potential event (top event) and all its probable causes in form of graphs/
trees. It starts with a potential undesirable event - top event and determining all the
ways in which it can occur.
For the proposed project, FTA will be carried out by considering top events like fire or
toxic hazards, explosion of reactors, boiler, rupture of vessels, loss of pressure in
reactor, over pressurization of reactor and boiler, collapse of major plant machinery,
overheating of boiler or reactors etc.
C. Event Tree Analysis (ETA): Event tree analysis is a method to illustrate the intermediate and final outcomes which
may arise after the occurrence of a selected initial event. ETA identifies the sequences
of event following an initiating event that results in accident.
For the proposed project, ETA will be carried out by considering some initial event
(bottom) like pipeline rupture and pump failure carrying toxic, flammable gases or
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report
Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies
Page | 7.6
flammable liquid, failure of rector stirring, failure of cooling/ heating media circulation,
stoppage of motor, mistake of worker/operator. With each ETA, mitigation measures
will be designed and adopted to minimize the probability of the undesired event.
D. HAZAN, Hazard Analysis: Hazard analysis is the initial study to determine hazard causes, effects and control.
Hazard analysis includes analysis of mechanism of hazard occurrence and analysis of
consequence which includes numbers of injury, fatality, property damage and other
losses.
For proposed project, HAZAN has been carried out by considering storage details of
raw material to get an idea of necessary safety measures for operation and
environmental risk control. Analysis of mechanism of hazard occurrence for proposed
expansion project and consequence Analysis has been carried out in Section 7.6.3 of
this chapter.
7.3.1. Hazard Identification and Safety Management for storage of Hazardous Chemicals
The inventory of hazardous material in the storage area is significantly larger than the
inventory involved in the process, hence the scenarios slected for the consequence
calculations are from storage vessels. The proposed project will require various
chemicals as listed in Annexure 27, with hazardous identification.
None of the products are defined namely as hazardous in MSIHC rules but may fall
under the definition of hazardous material/chemicals either due to toxicity or
flammability especially the product in liquid form due to use of solvents. Many of the
raw materials to be required for manufacturing of the proposed products fall under the
definition of hazardous material/chemicals.
Physical characteristic as well as hazardous details of raw materials and products in
form of MSDS are enclosed in Part 3 of EIA report. Out of the 54 hazardous chemicals
required for manufacturing of proposed products, 15 Hazardous chemicals as given in
Table 7.1 are idenfied for conducting risk aseessment as per their characteristic.
Hazardous areas identified with view point of their storge within the proposed plant are
highlighted in Figure 7.1. Also, layout of the existing plant and proposed expansion
project is enclosed as Annexure 5.

7.6. RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY Chemical process industries have undergone tremendous changes during last five
decades. Process conditions such as Pressure and Temperature have become severe;
concentration of stored energy has increased. The scale of possible fire, explosion,
toxic release, body injuries and occupational diseases has grown considerably. These
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies Page | 7.19
factors have greatly increased the risk for major industrial disasters, involving loss of
human lives, plant & property and environmental degradation.
Identification analysis and assessment of hazard and risk are very useful in providing
information to risk management. It provides basis for what should be the type and
capacity of its on-site and off-site emergency plan also what types of safety measures
are required. Risk and consequence analysis is carried out by considering storage and
handling of various hazardous raw materials, intermediates and products as well as
manufacturing process.
The objectives considered for Risk Assessment study are as follows;
� To assess the risk involved in transporting, storing & processing raw material up to
final product.
� To evaluate the risk and to get the complete view of the available facilities.
� To take appropriate action to control the incidents.
� To safe guard employees and people in vicinity.
� To minimize damage to property and neighboring environment.
� To inform the employees, general public and Government authority about various
types of hazards, assessed risk, safe guards provided, residual risk if any.
� To inform Police, Fire Brigade, District authority and Statutory authority for providing
help during emergency.
� To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide training
to employees through mock rehearsals.
� To rescue and give treatment to the casualties and to count the number of injured
persons.

Figure 7.2: Risk Assessment Methodology
7.6.1. Modes of Failure Storages system can fail in different ways depending on the materials stored, storage
conditions and may involve systems in their vicinity. Conditions such as over filling, over
pressure & missile, lightening or bomb attack, earthquake & resultant replier or release
scenarios have been identified. Outcomes of such incidents are determined by
presence of ignition either immediate or delayed. As can be seen depending upon
modes of failure different scenarios are possible viz:
START
Facility, process and meteorological data collection
Listing out hazardous operations & storage details
Identification of failure scenarios & quantification of probable hazard associated for risk assessment
Defining parameters for each chemical and each hazard
Defining release type (continuous / instantaneous) & determine release rate
Simulation of different credible scenario for consequence modeling
Prepare Summary of Credible Scenario
Evaluate potential risk associated to the surrounding
Suggest mitigation measures for the risk associated

1. Continuous release
2. Instantaneous release
This may be of gas / liquid depending upon type of material stored/released and its
characteristics. More examples, a liquid boiling at ambient conditions, will immediately
be converted to gas upon exposure to atmosphere.
An instantaneous release is any release occurring for a period less than 15 seconds.
Failure mode responsible for instantaneous releases may be catastrophic failure of
road tanker. For an instantaneous gas release, important parameters are release height
& quantity released whereas for instantaneous liquid release, important parameters are
amount spilled, spill area & pool temperature, evaporation rate, vapour mass etc.
Continuous release occurs when the material is released over a period greater than 15
seconds. For a continuous gas release, important parameters include height of leak
above ground, emission rate & total time of release. For continuous liquid release,
important parameters are spill rates, duration, area & pool temperature, evaporation
rate and vapor mass or Gas mass.
7.6.2. Maximum Credible Accident / Catastrophic Failure and Its Mitigation Measure
A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterized as the worst credible
accident. In other words: an accident in an activity, resulting in the maximum
consequence distance that is still believed to be possible. An MCA-analysis does not
include a quantification of the probability of occurrence of the accident. Another aspect,
in which the pessimistic approach of MCA studies appears, is the atmospheric condition
that is used for dispersion calculations. Flow chart given in Figure 7.3 is considered for
modeling various scenarios for accidental release of chemical.

Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies
Page | 7.22
Figure 7.3: Accidental release of chemical
The Maximum Credible Loss (MCL) scenarios have been developed for the Facility.
The MCL cases considered, attempt to include the worst “Credible” incidents-what
constitutes a credible incident is always subjective. Nevertheless, guidelines have
evolved over the years and based on basic engineering judgment, the cases have been
found to be credible and modeling for assessing vulnerability zones is prepared
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals

accordingly.
The objective of the study is Emergency planning, hence only holistic & conservative
assumptions are used for obvious reasons. Hence, though the outcomes may look
pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept should be borne in mind whilst
interpreting the results.
In Consequence analysis, geographical location of the source of potential release plays
an important role. Consideration of a large number of scenarios in the same
geographical location serves little purpose if the dominant scenario has been identified
and duly considered. The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios
by ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmosphere: Version 5.4.7) of EPA.
ALOHA model key hazards like toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation (Heat), and over
pressure (expansion blast force) related to chemical releases that result in toxic gas
dispersion, fire and/or explosion.
7.6.3. Consequences Analysis From the proposed raw materials, chemicals listed in Table 7.1 have been taken for the
consequences analysis considering their hazardous / flammable / toxic nature. Details
of these chemicals in the form of MSDS are enclosed as Part 3 of EIA report.
7.6.3.1. Possible Accident Scenario
Different possible ways of occurrence of any accidents due to storage/usage of above
hazardous chemicals are prescribed here below;
Scenario-A: Release of chemical due to leakage and form evaporating puddle (Not
burning)
Scenario-B: Release of chemical due to leakage and form burning puddle (Pool fire)
Scenario-C: Release of chemical due to catastrophic failure (BLEVE)
Atmospheric conditions assumed at the time of accidents are mentioned in Table 7.3.

7.8. ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN As emergency is said to have risen when operators in the plant are not able to cope
with a potential hazardous situation i.e. loss of an incident causes the plant to go
beyond its normal operating conditions, thus creating danger. When such an
emergency evolves, chain of events which affect the normal working within the factory
area and / or which may cause injuries, loss of life, substantial damage to property and
environment both inside and around the factory takes place and a DISASTER is said to
have occurred.
Various steps involved in Disaster Management Plan can be summarized as follows:
1. Minimize risk occurrence (Prevention)
2. Rapid Control (Emergency Response)
3. Effectively rehabitate damaged areas (Restoration)
Disaster Management Plan is evolved by careful scrutiny and interlinking of
a. Types and causes of disaster
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Valia-Bharuch Environmental Impact Assessment Report Proposed Expansion Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals
Chapter-7: Additional Studies
Page | 7.37
b. Technical know-how
c. Resource availability
Types of Disaster: a. Due to Fire and Explosion
b. Due to Vapour Cloud
c. Due to Toxic Gas Release from:
i. Within the Unit
ii. External Sources
d. Hurricane, Flood, Cyclone and other Natural Calamities
This plan is developed to make best possible use of resources to:
� Reduce possibilities of accident.
� Contain the incident and control it with minimum damage.
� Safeguard others
� Rescue the victims and treat them suitable.
� Identify the persons affected/ dead.
� Inform relatives of the causalities.
� Provide authorative information to the news media.
� Preserve relevant records and equipment needed as evidence incase of any inquiry.
� Rehabilitate the affected areas.
The primary purpose of the on-site emergency plan is to control and contain the
incident and so as to prevent from spreading to nearby plant. It is not possible to cover
every eventuality in the plant and successful handling of the emergency will depend on
appropriate action and decisions being taken on the spot. Following three staged
activities suggested as they are co-related and provide better points for emergency-
preparedness, emergency action and subsequent follow up. Hierarchy of the
emergency team is given below in Figure 7.6, which is implemented for the existing
plant and will be followed for the proposed expansion project.

CHAPTER – 10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
10.1. PRELUDE The main purpose of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to identify project
specific actions that will be undertaken by the project authority for mitigation of the
specific impacts identified for the proposed expansion project. These actions will be
incorporated into project management system and integrated into the implementation at
various stages of expansion of project. The EMP describes both generic good practice
measures and site-specific measures, the implementation of which is aimed at
mitigating potential impact associated with the project activity.
10.2. OBJECTIVES OF THE EMP The main objective of Environmental Management Plan is to warrant that the industrial
development in an identified particular study area needs to be entangled with judicious
utilization of non-renewable resources and to ensure that the stress/load on the
ecosystem is within its permissible assimilative capacity i.e. its carrying capacity. In
above context, assimilative capacity refers to the maximum amount of pollution load
that can be discharged into the environment without affecting the designated use of
various environmental attributes and is governed by dilution, dispersion and removal
due to physico-chemical and biological process. An effective EMP ensures that these
environmental requirements and objectives are satisfied during all phases of project.
The long-term objectives of the EMP for all the environmental attributes are as under:
� To comply with all the regulations / applicable laws stipulated by Central & State
Pollution Control Boards.
� To create good working conditions (devoid of air & noise pollution) for employees.
� To rationalize and streamline environmental activities to add value in efficiency and
effectiveness.
� To encourage and achieve highest performance and response from individual
employees and contractors.

10.4. GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN Development of a greenbelt mitigates to a certain extent the potential negative impact
on the environment due to dust, air emissions, fugitive emission and noise. A green
cover itself acts as containment for dust. Presence of a green belt, lead to micro-climate
and soil quality balancing, by retaining of soil moisture, recharge of ground water as
well as self-control of micro-climate of that area. It also improves the aesthetic value of
the area, later on it becomes the natural habitat of various bird species.
To maintain the ecological balance, the unit has already developed green belt in area of
12,500 sq.m. within the existing premises. Photographs of existing greenbelt
development are given in Figure 10.1 and layout of greenbelt is given in Figure 10.2.
The greenbelt area will be extended up to 20,350 sq.m. (33.0 % of total plot area). Unit also proposes to carryout plantation tress during construction phase of proposed
expansion project, which will be completed within 3 years. Details of the plant species
and budget allocation for existing and proposed greenbelt development are given in the
Table 10.2 and Table 10.3 respectively. The unit will also participate in the greenbelt
development programs outside the premises at nearby villages.

10.5. APPLICATION OF CLEANER PRODUCTION (CP) TECHNOLOGY Cleaner Production in recent times has emerged as an attractive proposition to tackle
the environmental problems posed by rapid industrialization and is being accepted
worldwide. Besides reducing pollution, it also improves the process efficiency, thus
reducing the cost of production. Applications of CP mainly focus on preventing or
minimizing the generation of waste and gaseous emission. The basic idea of cleaner
production is to avoid a problem altogether rather than trying to find remedial measure
by adopting proactive approach of waste management. As far as the production
processes are concern, CP will be achieved by raw material and energy conservation,
by reducing quantum of emission and waste generation. To obtain fruitful results, CP
should be implemented by adopting the concept of product modification, source
reduction and recycling.
In the proosed epxanion project, the unit will implement various techniques of CP in
factory premises and put continues efforts for developing new techniques. Proposed
implementation of techniques of CP is described below:
10.5.1 Pollution Prevention � High density polythene bags or drums will be used. Hence, the generation of plastic
waste can be reduced. Moreover, discarded bags / container will be decontaminated
and reuse/sold.
� The unit will maintain the proper inventory of the hazardous chemicals and keeping
the buffer stock as minimum as possible. This will help to reduce the possibilities &
magnitude of environmental hazards.
� There will be periodic arrangement of environmental training program to create
understanding among plant personnel towards environment.
� Unit will manufacture products with maximum yield by using high-quality of raw
material and advanced process technology through continuous R&D for the product
range being manufactured.
� To minimize material wastage, standard SOP will be followed by the unit.
10.5.2 Water Conservation � Use of graphite condensers for cooling of the scrubbing solution in gas absorption
scrubber, thereby reducing effluent load.
� As a part of water conservation, excess service water taps will not be provided in the
plant premises.

� Flow meter will be installed at raw water intake and at ETP-RO outlet.
� Mopping will be done for floor cleaning.
� High Pressure Jet Pump will be used for the cleaning of equipment, vessel & rector
etc.
� Water sprinkler system and drip irrigation will be used instead of hose pipe for the
green belt development.
10.5.3 Energy Conservation � First step to conserve energy is to identify source of energy utilization.
� Variable frequency drives (VFD) in pumps, whenever required will be provided to
save energy.
� Use of low loss transformer instead of conventional transformer.
� Proper air to fuel ratio will be maintained for the maximum efficiency of boiler.
� Good insulation practice will be adopted to prevent heat losses.
� Regular cleaning of the lamps and fixtures will be done to get better illumination in
the plant.
� To avoid loss of precious quantum of energy, regular maintenance / servicing will be
provided to all the equipments.
� Unit will plan energy audit regularly as a tool for monitoring purpose.
10.5.4 Reuse / Recycle � Used oil from the plant & machineries is reused as a lubricant within plant and
excess, if any will be sold to authorize recyclers.
� Condensate from all the reactor jackets and dryers will be collected and pumped
under the steam pressure to the boiler feed water tank.
� Recovery and re-use of steam condensate thereby reducing consumption of fuel
and water in the boiler.
� All organic hazardous waste will be sent to cement industries confirming to their
acceptance for co-processing.
10.5.5 Good Housekeeping Good housekeeping means changing existing practices or introducing new ways of
operating and maintaining equipment. Proper good housekeeping can prevent
accidents, spillages and leakages, raw material & product loses. For Good
housekeeping following practices will be adopted.
� All the materials will be stored in compatible group.
