Waste Water Generation & Treatment

During operation phase, It is expected that the project will generate approx. 188 KLD of

wastewater including treated effluent comes from ETP. The wastewater will be treated in the ETP

& STP having total capacity of 350 KLD provided within the premises generating 169 KLD of

recoverable water which will be used for HVAC Cooling.




12

2.2 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal

source? (Provide physical, chemical, Biological characteristics with class of water quality).

The agency for supply of water will be DJB. The quality of water confirm to the desirable drinking

water standards as per IS 10500 and Manual on Water Supply and Treatment by the Central Public

Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO).

2.3 How much of water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater?

(Give the details of quantities, sources and usage)

The total treated wastewater generated will be approx. 188 KLD. The treated recovered water will be

169 KLD which will used for HVAC cooling.

2.4 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts of the

project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption).

No. There will not be any diversion of water from other users. Rise in water demand is a local

phenomenon but the project will only involve spatial shifting of water demand within a region.

2.5 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed

activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the

proposed activity)

Approximately 188 KLD of a wastewater will be generated during the operational phase. This

wastewater generated will be treated in well-designed ETP and Sewage Treatment Plant having

capacity of 350 KLD and will be recycled as mentioned in the water balance diagram above within

the project premises.

2.6 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of

the facilities created.




13

The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any

collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends upon

many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area

and the time required for such flow to reach the drains. The drains shall be located near the

carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall run

off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various buildings shall be

connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins. Therefore, it has been calculated to

provide 3 rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations, which will catch the maximum run-off

from the area.

1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water

pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down

through rain water pipes.

2) Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and seepage pits at

regular intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging.

3) The peak hourly rainfall of 35 mm/hr shall be considered for designing the storm water

drainage system.

Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the guideline of CGWA. Peak

hourly rainfall has been considered as 35 mm/hr. The diameter & depth of recharge pit will be 6

m x 3 m x 2.5 m will be constructed for recharging the water. Inside the recharge pit, a recharge

bore will be constructed having adequate diameter depth. At the bottom of the recharge well, a

filter media is provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain

water harvesting plan are as follows:

Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning.

The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be damaged

allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been avoided since most

paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.

All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device would be

installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic bags

and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to prevent




14

contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall is

flushed off.

No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system.

No wastewater from areas likely to have oil, grease, or other pollutants has been

connected to the system.

Calculations for storm water load

Roof-top area = Ground Coverage = 3869.57 m2 Green Area = 2,488.33 m

2

Total plot area = 9,545 m2

Paved Area = Total Plot Area – (Roof-top Area + Green Area)

= 9,545 – (3869.57 + 2488.33)

= 3187.1m2

Runoff Load

Roof-top Area = 3869.57 × 0.035 × 0.8

= 108.34 m3/hr

Green Area = 2488.33 × 0.035 × 0.1

= 8.71 m3/hr

Paved Area = 3187.1× 0.035 × 0.75

= 83.66m3/hr

Total Runoff Load = 108.34 + 8.71 + 83.66 m3/hr

= 200.71 say 201 m3/hr

Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 201/4

= 50.25 m3

Taking the effective size of a Rain Water Harvesting pit = l x b x h = 6 x 3 x 2.5 = 45 m3. Hence

Rain Water Harvesting pit required = 50.25/45 = 1.12 say 1 pit

3 Nos Rain Water Harvesting pits have been proposed for artificial rain water recharge within





15

2.7 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed

project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post

construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water

logging in any way?

The project will include paved areas and thus the runoff from the project is expected to increase due

to reduced infiltration. However, the increased runoff will not cause flooding or water logging as a




16

well designed storm water drainage will be provided. The runoff will finally be collected into

rainwater harvesting pits for groundwater recharging. The quality of the runoff is expected to

improve due to paved areas.

2.8 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (will there be tapping of

ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity and approvals

obtained from competent authority, if any) .

Water demand will be fulfilled by Delhi Jal Board (DJB). Hence, no adverse impact is expected,

and efforts will be made to recharge the aquifers using 3 rain water harvesting pit of 6m x 3m x2.5m

dimension proposed in the project. Ground water level is 30 m below ground level.

2.9 What precautions measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well

as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body?

Adequate management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during construction

phase. Excavation during monsoon season has been avoided. Care has been taken to avoid soil

erosion. Community toilets have been constructed on the site during construction phase and the

wastewater has been channelized to the septic tank in order to prevent wastewater from entering the

water bodies. Any area with loose debris within the site shall be planted.

To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers has been

used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area has been kept

effectively impervious. Collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash

downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic release from the construction site has been adhered to

minimize water pollution.

2.10 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid

flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout

indication contour levels).

Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground water recharge. Thus proper

management of this resource is must to ensure that it is free of contamination. A detailed Storm




17

Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider the sources of storm water. The plan

will incorporate best management practices which will include the following:

Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.

Installation of clarifiers or Oil/Water separators system of adequate capacity around

parking areas and garages as per requirement.

Cover waste storage areas.

Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.

Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.

Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.

Provision of silt traps in storm water drains.

Good housekeeping in the above areas.

2.11 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to

unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).

No, mostly local laborers have been employed during the construction phase and thus a negligible

quantity of waste has been generated. Mobile Common toilet has been provided within the premises.

2.12 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of

sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with

technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).

Approximately 188 KLD of a wastewater will be generated during the operational phase. This

wastewater generated will be treated in well-designed ETP and Sewage Treatment Plant having

capacity of 350 KLD and will be recycled as mentioned in the water balance diagram above within


An external sewage network will collect the sewage from all units, and flow by gravity to the

proposed sewage treatment plant.

Following are the benefits of providing the Sewage Treatment Plant in the present circumstances:




18

Reduced net daily water requirements, source for Horticultural purposes by utilization of

the treated wastewater.

Reduced dependence on the public utilities for water supply and sewerage systems.

Sludge generated from the Sewage Treatment Plant will be rich in organic content and an

excellent fertilizer for horticultural purposes.

Final discharge characteristics

(a) pH : 6.5 to 7.5

(b) Oil & Grease : < 10 mg/l

(c) B.O.D. : < 20 mg/l

(d) C.O.D. : < 30 mg/l

(e) Total suspended solids : <10mg/l

SBR TECHNOLOGY

Hospital generally has operation theatre, laboratories, etc., from which wastewater with chemicals

/ blood will generate. If this waste water is directly mixed with the domestic sewage, it interferes

with the sewage treatment process. It is therefore necessary to pre treat this effluent before

discharge into sewage equalization tank. Sludge from this ETP is not suitable for using as a

manure. Therefore it is disposed off separately.

Sewer System

The alignment and slope of the sewer line will follow the road network, drains or natural ground

surface and will be connected to the trunk sewers. The discharge point will be a treatment plant, a

pumping station, a water course or an intercepting sewer. Pumping stations would be provided at

places where the natural slope of the terrain is insufficient to permit gravity flow or the cost of

excavation is uneconomical to do the same.

Schematic Diagram of STP

2.13 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste used for flushing of toilets or any

other use.

Dual plumbing system that utilizes separate piping systems for freshwater and recycled wastewater

will be adopted for the proposed project. The recycled water system shall utilize this treated

wastewater and serve 169 KLD for HVAC cooling.

SECTION 3-VEGETATION

3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local

ecosystem with its unique features, if any).




20

No, there will not be any threat of the project to the biodiversity. All the parks/forests etc are far

away from the site i.e Pusa Hill Forest- approx. 7.49 km. in ENE direction, Aravali Biodiversity

Park- approx. 8.59 km. in East direction, & Mitraon Forest- approx. 12.36 km. in SE direction.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide

a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).

No. The site comprises of 2488.33 m2 landscape of open land area provided and does not support

any ecologically threatened vegetation.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on

important site – features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping creation of

water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?)

Green belt will be developed along the periphery of the project premises. 2,488.33m2 of open area

will be developed as green belt and organized green spaces. Landscape plan has been attached.

SECTION 4-FAUNA

4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna both terrestrial and aquatic or creation

of barriers for their movement? Provide the details.

No. The existing land use around the proposed site is urban and does not provide a habitat for wild

species. A few species of butterfly, avifauna and reptiles were recorded during the course of survey,

which are common and found abundantly in this region. The proposed multilayered peripheral

greenbelt will provide an excellent habitat for the native fauna.

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.




21

The project will not have any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area. However,

planting of trees in the proposed greenbelt will be an attraction to the local bird population which

will provide shelter and niche for the birds

4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on

fauna.

Not applicable

SECTION 5-AIR ENVIRONMENT

5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands?

(Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models

taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed construction).

Negligible amount of pollutants will be emitted due to the increase in vehicles from the project and

from the DG sets. Since proponent is going to develop sufficient green belts, it will help

significantly to control air pollution.

The site will not lead to any heat islands, since the proponent will develop greenbelts and green

covers in the site. Air monitoring carried out during the environmental assessment is shown in the

prevented by water spraying & screening the construction activity with the help of tarpaulin. The

other important source of pollution is D.G sets which will be used at the tune of power failure & the

emission like PM10, NOx, SO2, CO will be well within the prescribed limits. The total ground level

concentrations have been assessed with predicted incremental values based on dispersion model

tanking into the account of increased traffic load, which are within the prescribed limit.

5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous

gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.

Prediction of Impacts

Vehicular emissions and DG sets emission will be major sources of air pollution from building

construction projects. During the post construction phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be owned

by the population of such project. Ground Level Concentration of pollutants (as added by the

project) will depend upon the following:

Emission of pollutants from additional traffic on the roads due to the project.

Meteorological conditions.

Emission sources from D.G. Sets.

PM, NO2, SO2 and CO will be the main pollutants of primary concern released from traffic

movement and DG sets. Assuming that under cross wind condition perpendicular to the road, the

dispersion of vehicular emissions would be confined within limited distance from the road and

concentration will decrease with the increase in distance from road. It was anticipated that the

contribution of vehicular emissions from the exhaust in ambient air quality will be marginal as




23

Pollution under Control (PUC) Certified vehicles and branded make operated vehicle with low

sulphur diesel will be used. Ground Level Concentration (GLC) of pollutants is found to be well

within the stipulated National Ambient Air Quality Standards due to traffic movement and

vehicles used inside the premises. DG sets will be main source of Air Pollution in the project.

CPCB/ MoEF approved USEPA dispersion model -ISCST3 was used for prediction of impacts

caused by DG sets. Stack & emission data was used as per design value provided by standard

make and stipulated standards. Other primary data used as input for model were hourly

meteorological data of Wind speed & direction, temperature, cloud amount and mixing height.

Mixing height used in the model was taken from secondary data source “Atlas of Hourly Mixing

Height Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India published in 2008 by IMD, Delhi”. Hourly

meteorological monitored at site during study period data was compared with long term data

available from the nearest India Meteorological station or any other authorized source/Govt.

agencies.

There was provision of 3no. of DG sets of total capacity 3,250 KVA (2X 1250 ,1X750)for power

back up in the Existing phase of residential plotted colony.

This will cause emission of PM, SO2, NO2 and CO in the Ambient Air Quality. Therefore,

incremental load in the ambient air environment will be found to be very low as given in the

report. An adequate stack height of D.G. sets will be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/ National Building Code Manual to facilitate proper

dispersion of pollutants and to minimize the impact on Ambient Air Quality under the influence

of local meteorology.

Meteorology - Hourly Meteorological data of wind speed & direction, temperature, cloud amount

and rainfall were monitored at site for 1month for the dispersion model. Wind rose was prepared

in sixteen directions as per standards. It was observed that westerly were prevalent wind during

the study period.

Model details and Frame work of Computation:

The predictions for air quality during operation phase were carried using CPCB/MoEF approved

“USEPA, Industrial Source Complex (Version - ISCST3)” Dispersion model developed by the

US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for prediction of pollutants dispersion from

single or multiple point sources using emission and hourly meteorological data of the study

period. Assumptions used in the model were as follows:

The plume rise is limited to that of the mixing layer as published by IMD in the

Catalogue of Atlas of Mixing Heights in India for the site

Stack down-wash is not considered.

Flat terrain is used for computations;

It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical transformation.

Chemical and scavenging process occurred in the atmosphere in the pollutants released at

the stack exit is not considered.




25

Prediction is based on single/multiple point sources, pollution released at stack exit and

dispersed on the ground under influence of local meteorological conditions during the

season.

ISCST3 dispersion model was used to predict GLC caused by a different point source ( 42.9as

highest stacks) at each receptor of 41 m x 41 m of grid network covering total area of 2000 m x

2000m around the proposed source with stack & emission values and 1-hourly meteorological

data. It was observed that SO2, NO2, Co and PM were significant pollutants released from the

fuel of the D.G. sets. Emission of PM, CO and SO2 were found insignificant with low values

compared to NO2. In this project, NO2 was the worst pollutant released into the atmosphere

(Table 8) with high emission value.

Stack and Emission Details

Note:-DG set will be operated during power failure for maximum 6-Hours.

24-h GLC were predicted for SO2, NO2, CO and PM but isopleth of the worst pollutant NO2 is

only presented in the report as GLC of other pollutants were low under similar meteorological

conditions.

Discussion of Results

ISCST3 - Dispersion model was used to predict GLC of all pollutants; SO2, NO2, CO and PM

with stack & emission and hourly meteorological data. 24-hours average maximum Incremental

GLC of NO2 was to be 2.95 µg/m3 occurred at (-600m, 600m) from the DG sets fitted with

chimneys of various height and. It was found that GLC of NO2 was less than the permissible limit

of 80µg/m3

(as per CPCB guidelines) under worst meteorological condition with meteorological

data monitored on site.

Spatial distribution of NO2 is shown here below in iso-pleth figure. It was observed that GLC

closed to the proposed source will be not significant due to high stack attached with DG sets. 24-h

maximum incremental GLC was 2.95µg/m3 occurred at the distance (-600,600) West of the

project site.

Conclusion

Maximum Incremental GLC of NO2 was 2.95µg/m3 due to DG sets in the project. High to

moderate wind speed and stack of various heights facilitates dispersion at the distance of (-

600,600)m, West under the influence of local meteorology. Low GLC of pollutants was predicted

due to high Stack height and limited DG sets running hours. Predicted GLC of all pollutants are

given here below:

Mitigation Measures: The project proponent will develop a green belt inside the premises of the

project site and along the internal road, which will work as barrier for the movement of pollutants

and help in pollution control.

5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the

present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement including

the traffic management at the entry and exit to the project site.

Adequate provision will be made for car/vehicle parking at the project site. There shall also be

adequate parking provisions for visitors so as not to disturb the traffic and allow smooth movement

at the site.

As per MoEF Norms:

For Medical Facilities = 190 ECS

As per DDA Norms:

For Public/Semi-Public facilities = 608 ECS

Parking Proposed: = 611 ECS

5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks,

pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc, with areas under each category.

Internal roads of 06 m width, footpaths/pedestrian pathways have been well planned for the project.

5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the

sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.

No significant impact of noise has been anticipated within and outside of the project site due to

provision of wide roads for smooth flow of traffic and greenbelt along the roads. Noise, due to the

traffic, within site, will result in a marginal increase in the noise levels, which will cause slight

increase in noise level.

5.6 What will be the impact of D.G. sets and other equipment on noise levels and vibration

in ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.




29

During operation, vehicular movement and operation of DG sets are the major sources of noise

pollution. But both these activities- DG set and vehicular movement will not have any significant

impact on the people residing in the area. Since DG set will not be operational continuously and

moreover it will be placed away from settlements and will be enclosed with suitable acoustic

enclosures, hence no or minimal impact will be anticipated. It is envisaged that the movement of the

motor vehicles will be restricted to designated carriageways only.

Noise and Vibration Control Measures for DG sets:

• DG sets will be installed with suitable acoustic enclosures to minimize the impact on

ambient noise.

• All DG sets will be mounted on vibration isolator pads. Hence the impacts of noise and

vibration will be insignificant.

• Adequate exhaust mufflers will be provided as per norms to limit the noise.

SECTION 6-AESTHETICS

6.1 Will the proposed construction in any way result in the obstruction of a view, scenic

amenity or landscapes? Are these considerations taken into account by the proponents?

The site lies in an urbanized settlement and is well planned. Thus, no obstruction of view or scenic

beauty or landscape is anticipated. Furthermore, the construction has been planned in such a way that

the organized open spaces and landscaped areas will render the plot aesthetically appealing.

6.2 Will there be any adverse impacts from new constructions on the existing structures?

What are the considerations taken into account?

Being a building and construction project, it has no impact on existing structures.

6.3. Whether there are any local considerations of urban form & urban design influencing

the design criteria? They may be explicitly spelt out.




30

The project will strictly follow the Area Building Regulation of NBC. All norms on Ground

Coverage, FAR, Height, Setbacks, Fire Safety Requirements, Structural Design and other parameters

will be strictly adhered to.

6.4 Are there any anthropological or archaeological sites or artifacts nearby? State if any

other significant features in the vicinity of the proposed site have been considered?

No anthropological or archaeological sites or artifacts are found near the site area. The

archeological monuments of historical significance are far from the project site, hence there will

be no impacts on these monuments.

SECTION 7-SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS

7.1 Will the proposal result in any changes to the demographic structure of local

population? Provide the details.

No such changes anticipated.

Construction phase: Since local labourers has been engaged during construction phase, alteration to

the existing demographic profile of the area has not been anticipated.

Operation phase: The changing demography in the area is another impact that needs attention. The

project will mainly lead to spatial redistribution of local population and hence no considerable influx

of population is envisaged owing to the project.

7.2 Give details of the existing social infrastructure around the proposed project.

Being an area of Dwarka, New Delhi, the project site is adequately equipped with all essential

facilities. JM International School adjacent to North direction, Bensups Hospital-2.45km in West

direction, Shiv Mandir -1km in NE and Vardhman mall in 1.29km in South .

7.3 Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance to sacred sites

or other cultural values? What are the safeguards proposed?




31

The impact can be divided into two phases; a) Construction phase and; b) Operation phase, i.e.

medical facility starts in the Hospital. Based on the nature and type of impacts, the assessment has

been divided into three category i.e. positive, negative and negligible impacts. Positive impacts

include job creation, preservation of environment and benefits to local population by providing

medical facilities and through job opportunities. Long-term impacts include aspects such as

demography and aesthetics..

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Positive Impacts

Job opportunity: During the consultation process, the locals raised question about job opportunities

related to supervisory positions during construction work and operation phase. Construction phase

has generate jobs that will be related to unskilled, semi skilled as well as skilled labor category in

addition to various specialist positions. As far as construction labor has been concerned, they has

been from surrounding areas in proximity to the construction site. Therefore, the construction phase

will be likely to have positive economic impacts. There will be also likelihood for small shops and

tea stalls to come up near the construction site to cater the demands of the construction workers,

leading to indirect economic benefit to the locals.

Appreciation in Land Value: The development of Hospital Project will be likely to cause

appreciation of real estate prices in the nearby areas. Locals with any holdings in neighboring areas

will be likely to benefit economically.

Significant Impacts

Traffic and Transport: With this Human Care medical charitable trust, the traffic in this area will

increase, particularly during the operation phase. Increase in traffic will be managed by adopting

traffic management plan. However the probability of inconvenience faced due to the movement of

trucks during construction phase has been negligible, since the trucks have been allowed to transport

construction materials during night and non-peak hours. The traffic study and management measures




32

suggested in the environment management plan will further reduce the negative impacts of the

traffic increment during the operation phase.

Minor Impacts

Labor Population: Labours were & will be hired from local areas. Hence no impact on local

infrastructure is envisaged.

Demography: Immigration of certain number of work force from the surroundings cannot be

avoided during the construction phase. The movement of labor to this area is a temporary

phenomenon. It is not likely to alter the existing demographic profile of the area.

Impact on Historical, Archeological and Architectural Sites: There are no historical or

archeological monuments of significance within the project area and hence no negative impact in

this regard is anticipated.

OPERATION PHASE

Positive Impacts

Job Opportunity: Employment opportunities will be increased, such as jobs for doctors, nurses and

other hospital staff will be generated with the operation of the Hospital.

Economic Growth: This project will increase the economic activities around the area, creating

avenues for direct/indirect employment in the post project period. People will like get treatment in

the Hospital. Expenditure incurred by the patients will boost local economy in the region. Business

like movie theatres, amusement parks, clubs and shopping malls around the project site will get

enhanced.




33

Impacts on accessing utilities: Utilities include water supply, electricity and sewage facilities.

Water will be required for construction and even more during operation phase. Water needed during

construction phase will be through Tankers from local authorized sources supply system.

DJB will provide water during operation phase. It is anticipated that Hospital Project will ask

Authorities to make necessary arrangements to confirm the supply of water, electricity and other

utilities, so as to satisfy the increased demands if any.

SAFEGUARDS

The social management plan has been designed to take proactive steps and at the same time adoption

of best practices, which are sensitive to the socio-cultural settings of the region.

a. Income Generation Opportunity

Locals will be given preferences for jobs created after commissioning of the project.

The main principle of employment is outlined below:

Employment strategy will provide for preferential employment during operation Phase.

General recruitment procedures will be transparent, public and open to all.

Recruitment procedures will be publicized at locally prominent locations in advance.

There will be no discrimination on basis of gender, caste or other factors.

b. Improved Working Conditions

The project has been provide safe working conditions for the labor and other workers employed at

the facility during construction and hospital staff during operation phase.

Infrastructure Development

Infrastructure is already developed.

c. Traffic Management

A traffic plan has been adopted to minimize traffic flow interference from construction activities and

obstructions are minimized through-traffic lanes.




34

d. Waste Management

No open litter burning will be done during infrastructure improvements. Proper segregation of waste

will be done.

SECTION 8-BUILDING MATERIALS

8.1 May involve the use of building materials with high embodied energy. Are the

construction materials produced with energy efficient processes? (Give details of energy

conservation measures in the selection of building materials and their energy efficiency)

For the purpose of paved path, sun dried pavers has been used instead of baked pavers as they are

manufactured from energy efficient processes. Fly ash bricks were used & will be used.

8.2 Transport and handling of materials during construction may results in pollution,

noise and public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?

Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Construction Stage:

• Construction materials has been suitably covered with tarpaulin cover etc during transportation.

• Water sprinkling has been done on haul roads where dust generation is anticipated.

• Raw material storage and handling yard has been enclosed from all sides.

• To minimize the occupational health hazard, proper personal protective gears i.e. mask has been

provided to the workers working in the dust prone areas.

Mitigation Measures for Noise Pollution during Construction Stage:

• Administrative as well as engineering control of noise has been implemented.

• Isolation of noise generation sources and temporal differentiation of noise generating activities has

ensure minimum noise at receiver’s end.

• To prevent any occupational hazard, earmuff / earplug has been given to the workers working

around construction plant & machinery emitting high noise levels.

• Use of such plant or machinery shall not be allowed during night time. Careful planning of

machinery operation and scheduling of operations has been done to minimise such impact.




35

8.3 Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savings

achieved?

Yes. Recycled materials will be bought from outside sources and will be used as fillers in base and

sub-base of the carriageway, footpaths pavements or pedestrian way, as needed.

8.4 Give detail of the methods of collection, segregation & disposal of the garbage

generated during the operation phases of the project.

The solid waste of the project will be segregated into biodegradable waste and non-biodegradable.

Solar water heating systems will be used to achieve minimum of 50% hot water

requirement.

Green area is provided along with tree plantation which will result in natural air cooling and

will reduce the load on conventional energy sources.

10. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) will consist of all mitigation measures for each

component of the environment due to the activities increased during the construction, operation and

the entire life cycle to minimize adverse environmental impacts resulting from the activities of the




43

project. It will also delineate the environmental monitoring plan for compliance of various

environmental regulations. It will state the steps to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents

at the sites including fire. The detailed EMP for the project is given below.

10.1 Environmental Management Plan

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that

the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all contractors and

subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the

project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. EMP also ensures that the project

implementation is carried out in accordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigation actions

to reduce adverse environmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines existing and

potential problems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective measures

where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors

who will be in charge of the responsibilities to manage the project site.

10.1.1 The EMP is generally

Prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MoEF and CPCB/ SPCB

To ensure that the component of facility will be operated in accordance with the design

A process that confirms proper operation through supervision and monitoring

A system that addresses public complaints during construction and operation of the facilities

and

A plan that ensures remedial measures is implemented immediately.

The key benefits of the EMP will offer means of managing its environmental performance thereby

allowing it to contribute to improved environmental quality. The other benefits include cost control

and improved relations with the stakeholders.




44

EMP includes four major elements:

Commitment & Policy: The management will strive to provide and implement the

Environmental Management Plan that incorporates all issues related to air, water, land

and noise.

Planning: This includes identification of environmental impacts, legal requirements and

setting environmental objectives.

Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the developers, accountability

of contractors, training of operational staff associated with environmental control facilities and

documentation of measures to be taken.

Measurement & Evaluation: This includes monitoring, counteractive actions and record

keeping.

It is suggested that as part of the EMP, a monitoring committee will be formed by comprising of the

site in-charge/coordinator, environmental group representative and project implementation team

representative. The committee’s role will be to ensure proper operation and management of the EMP

including the regulatory compliance.

The components of the environmental management plan, potential impacts arising, out of the project

and remediation measures are summarized below:

10.2 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

An environmental management plan (EMP) will be required to mitigate the predicted adverse

environmental impacts during construction and operation phase of the project and these are

discussed in later subsections.

10.2.1 EMP for Air Environment

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impacts of PM2.5 and PM10 during the construction phase of the project, the

following measures have been implemented:

A dust control plan.

Procedural changes to construction activities.

Dust Control Plan

The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water because water is easily available on construction

site. Water can be applied using water trucks, handled sprayers and automatic sprinkler systems.

Furthermore, incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in transport, especially if

material is transported off-site.

Procedural Changes to Construction Activities

Idle time reduction: Construction equipment has been commonly left idle while the operators will

be on break or waiting for the completion of another task. Emission from idle equipment tends to be

high, since catalytic converters cools down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and carbon

monoxide oxidation. Idle control technologies have been comprised of power saving mode, which

automatically off the engine at preset time and reduces emissions, without intervention from the

operators.




52

Improved Maintenance: Significant emission reductions can be achieved through regular

equipment maintenance. Contractors have been asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet

as part of the contract bid, and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract. Incentive

provisions will be established to encourage contractors to comply with regular maintenance

requirements.

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impacts of pollutants from DG sets and vehicular traffic during the operational phase

of the Hospital, following measures are recommended for implementation:

DG set emission control measures

Vehicular emission controls and alternatives

Greenbelt development

Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measures

Adequate stack height will be maintain to disperse the criteria air pollutants generated from the

operation of DG sets to dilute the pollutants concentration within the immediate vicinity. Hence no

additional emission control measures have been suggested.

Vehicle Emission Controls and Alternatives

Use of clean Fuel by vehicles on-site: Low sulphur diesel will be used as clean fuel (if available

locally). This will reduce emissions on-site and in areas from where these vehicles pass.

Footpaths and Pedestrian ways: Adequate footpaths and pedestrian ways will be provided at the site

to encourage non-polluting methods of transportation.

Greenbelt Development

Increased vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air and

noise pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants, act as a barrier to break the wind speed as well

as allow the dust and other particulates to settle on the leaves. It also helps to reduce the noise level




53

at large extent. The following table indicates various species of the greenbelt that can be used to act

as a barrier.

10.2.2 EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impacts of noise from construction equipment during the construction phase on the

site, the following measures have been implemented.

Time of Operation: Noisy construction equipment has not been allowed to use.

Job Rotation and Hearing Protection: Workers employed in high noise areas has been rotated.

Hearing protection such as earplugs/muffs has been provided to those working very close to the

noise generating machinery.




54

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impacts of noise from diesel generator sets during operational phase, the following

measures will be recommended:

Adoption of Noise emission control technologies.

Greenbelt development.

Noise Emission Control Technologies

It will be ensured that the manufacturer provides acoustic enclosure as an integral part along with the

diesel generators sets. Further, enclosure of the services area with 4 m high wall will reduce noise

levels and ensure that noise is at a permissible limit for occupants of the site and surrounding

receptors.

Greenbelt Development

The name of species of plants to be used as in a greenbelt, to serve as noise breakers are mentioned

in table above.

10.2.3 EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To prevent degradation and to maintain the quality of the water source, adequate control measures

have been proposed. To check the surface run-off as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any

water body check dams with silt basins has been proposed. The following management measures are

suggested to protect the water source has been polluted during the construction phase:

Avoid excavation during monsoon season

Care has been taken to avoid soil erosion

Mobile toilets has been Placed on site during construction phase,

To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil and grease, leak-proof

Containers have been used for storage and transportation of oil and grease. The floors of




55

oil and grease handling area will be kept effectively impervious. Collection and settling of

storm water, prohibition of equipment wash downs and prevention of soil loss and toxic release

from the construction site are necessary measure

to be taken to minimize water pollution

All stacking and loading area has been provided with proper garland drains, equipped

with baffles, to prevent run off from the site, to enter into any water body

Operation Phase

In the operation phase of the project, water conservation and development measures will be taken,

including all possible potential for rain water harvesting. Following measures will be adopted:

Water source development

Minimizing water consumption

Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed loop systems for

different water streams

Water Source Development

Water source development shall be practiced by installation of scientifically designed Rain Water

Harvesting system. Rainwater harvesting promotes self-sufficiency and fosters an appreciation for

water as a resource.

Minimizing Water Consumption

Consumption of fresh water will be minimized by combination of water saving devices and other

domestic water conservation measures. Further, to ensure ongoing water conservation, an awareness

program will be introduced for the hospital staff and patients. The following section discusses the

specific measures, which shall be implemented:




56

Domestic and Commercial Usage

Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ultra flow toilets and urinals). Water efficient

plumbing fixtures uses less water with no marked reduction in quality and service

Leak detection and repair techniques

Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down for external areas

Meter water usage: Implies measurement and verification methods. Monitoring of water

uses is a precursor for management.

Horticulture

Spray irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green area. Spray

irrigation can save 15-40 % of the water, compared with other watering techniques

Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones to match

precipitation heads and emitters.

Use of low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.

Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors to account

for seasonal variations and calibrate them during commissioning.

Place 3 to 5 inches of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.

Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment and Development of Closed Loop Systems

To promote reuse of wastewater and development of closed loop system for wastewater segregation.

Two wastewater schemes are suggested, namely:

1) Storm Water Harvesting 2) Waste water recycling.

Waste Water Treatment Scheme

Proponent will treat the wastewater of the project in well designed Sewage Treatment Plant capacity

based on SBR technology and the effluent generated from the Hospital activities will be treated in

the ETP before.




57

Storm Water Management

Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground water recharge. Thus proper

management of this resource is a must to ensure that it is free from contamination.

Contamination of Strom Water is possible from the following sources:

Diesel and oil spills in the diesel power generator and fuel storage area

Waste spills in the solid / hazardous waste storage area

Oil spills and leaks in vehicle parking lots

Silts from soil erosion in gardens

Spillage of sludge from sludge drying area of sewage treatment plant

A detailed storm water management plan will be developed which will consider the possible impacts

from above sources. The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include

following:

Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains

Clarifiers or oil / separators will be installed in all the parking areas. Oil / grease separators

installed around parking areas and garages will be sized according to peak flow guidelines. Both

clarifiers and oil / water separators will be periodically pumped in order to keep discharges within

limits

Covered waste storage areas

Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season

Secondary containment and dykes in fuel / oil storage facilities

Conducting routine inspection to ensure cleanliness

Provision of slit traps in storm water drains

Good housekeeping in the above areas.




58

10.2.4 EMP FOR LAND ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

The waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris, biomass from land

clearing activities, waste from the temporary make shift tents for the labors and hazardous waste.

Following section discuss the management of each type of waste. Besides waste generation,

management of the topsoil will be an important area for which management measures will be

required.

Construction Debris

Construction debris is bulky and heavy, hence re-utilization and recycling of debris is an important

strategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste

generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill

space and reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is particularly

applicable to the project site as the construction is to be completed in a phased manner.

Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not be used as fill, as they will be highly susceptible to

contamination, and will be send to designated solid waste landfill site.

Metal scrap from structural steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work shall be

removed from the site by construction contractors. A significant portion of wood scrap will be

reused on site. Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc shall be sold to

recyclers.

Hazardous waste

Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances such as paints, solvents wood preservatives,

pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated during

construction phase shall be stored in sealed containers and disposed off as per the Hazardous Wastes

Management and Handling Act, Amendment Rules (MoEF, 2003).




59

Some management practices to be developed are:

Herbicides and pesticide will not be over applied (small-scale applications) and not applied

prior to rain

Paintbrushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be cleaned within a

contained area and will not be allowed to contaminate site soils, water courses or drainage

systems

Provision of adequate hazardous waste storage facilities. Hazardous waste collection

containers will be located as per safety norms and designated hazardous waste storage areas

will be away from storm drains or watercourses

Segregation of potentially hazardous waste from non-hazardous construction site

debris

Well labeled all hazardous waste containers with the waste will be stored and the date of

generation

Instruct employees and subcontractors in identification of hazardous and solid waste

Bio- medical waste is the main type of waste generated from hospitals. The waste generated

will be handed over to the government approved vendor for the final disposal of waste.

AERB/BARC Guidelines will be followed for identification and operation of any item or

disposal of any waste containing or suspected to be containing radioactive materials.

Even with careful management, some of these substances will be released into air, soil and water and

many will be hazardous to workers. With these reasons, the best choice is to avoid their use as much

as possible by using low-toxicity substitutes and low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials.

Waste from Temporary Makes Shift Tents for Labors

Wastes generated from temporary make shift labor tents will mainly comprise of household

domestic waste, which will be managed by the contractor of the site. The wastewater generated will

be channelized to the STP provided within the premises.

Top Soil Management




60

To minimize disruption of soil and for conservation of top soil, the contractor shall keep the top soil

cover separately and stockpile it. After the construction activity is over, top soil will be utilized for

landscaping activity. Other measures, which will be followed to prevent soil erosion and

contamination include:

Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development

To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leaf proof containers will be used for storage

and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/grease handling area shall be drained

through impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal

Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction)

Construction of erosion prevention troughs/ berms.

Operational Phase

The philosophy of solid waste management at the proposed Hospital will be to encouraging the four

R’s of waste i.e. Reduction, Reuse, Recycling and Recovery (materials & energy). Regular

awareness meetings will be conducted to involve the Hospital staff and patients in the proper

segregation and storage techniques.

The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste focuses on three major components during

the life cycle of the waste management system i.e., collection and transportation, treatment or

disposal and closure and post-closure care of treatment/disposal facility.

Collection and Transportation

During the collection stage, the solid waste of the proposed project will be segregated into

biodegradable waste and non-biodegradable. Biodegradable waste and non biodegradable waste will

be collected in separate bins. The recyclable wastes will be sent off to recyclabers. Proper guidelines

for segregation, collection and storage will be prepared as per MSW Rules, 2000.

To minimize littering and odour, waste will be stored in well-designed containers/ bins that

will be located at strategic locations to minimize disturbance in traffic flow




61

Care will be taken such that the collection vehicles will be well maintained and generate

minimum noise and emissions. During transportation of the waste, it will be covered to avoid

littering.

Disposal

With regards to the disposal/ treatment of waste, the management will take the services of the

authorized agency for waste management and disposal of the same on the project site during its

operational phase.

Bio-Medical waste generated will be approx. 380 kg/day and will be collected in the color coded

bags. The collected waste will be further handed over to the government approved vendor for the

final disposal of hazardous waste.

Detailed waste management program is given in the Conceptual plan, enclosed.

10.2.5 EMP FOR ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Construction activity changes the natural environment. But Hospital also creates a built environment

for its patients and staff. The project requires the implementation of following choices exclusively or

in combination.

Construction Stage

Restriction of construction activities to defined project areas, which will be ecologically

sensitive

Restrictions on location of temporary labor tents and offices for project staff near the

project area to avoid human induced secondary additional impacts on the flora and fauna species

Cutting and uprooting of trees or small trees if present in and around the project site for

cooking, burning or heating purposes by the labors will be prohibited and suitable alternatives for

this purpose will be made.




62

Along with the construction work, the peripheral green belt will be developed with

suggested native plant species, as they will grow to a full-fledged covered at the time of completion

Operation Stage

Improvement of the current ecology of the project site will entail the following measures:

Plantation and Landscaping

Green Belt Development

Avenue Plantation

The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the above objectives:

Plantation and landscaping

Selection of the plant species will be done on the basis of their adaptability to the existing

geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of the region earlier found

or currently observed.

Green Belt Development Plan

The plantation matrix adopted for the green belt development includes pit of 0.3 m × 0.3 m size with

a spacing of 2 m x 2 m. In addition, earth filling and manure may also be required for the proper

nutritional balance and nourishment of the sapling. It is also recommended that the plantation has to

be taken up randomly and the landscaping aspects could be taken into consideration.

Multi-layered plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m) and shrubs (5 m height)

has been proposed for the green belt. In addition creepers will be planted along the boundary wall to

enhance its insulation capacity.

Selection of Plant Species for Green Belt Development

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate,

elevation and soil. The plants will exhibit the following desirable characteristics in order to be

selected for plantation

1. The species shall be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability




63

2. The species shall be wind-firm and deep rooted

3. The species shall form a dense canopy

4. As far as possible, the species shall be indigenous and locally available

5. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SO2 and NOx shall be preferred

6. The species shall be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within the belt

7. There shall be no large gaps for the air to spill through

8. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the surfaces

9. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought

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

11. Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing

12. Bird and insect attracting tree species

13. Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance.

Avenue Plantation

Gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not only improve

the quality of existing ecology at the project site but also will improve the aesthetic value.

Avenue Plantation

1. Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering

2. Trees with branching at 7 feet and above

3. Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic

4. Fruit trees to be avoided because children may obstruct traffic and general movement of

public

10.2.6 EMP for Socio-Economic Environment

The social management plan has been designed to take proactive steps and adopt best practices,

which will be sensitive to the socio-cultural setting of the region. The Social Management Plan for

Human Care Hospital Project focuses on the following components:

Income Generation Opportunity During Construction and Operation Phase




64

The project will be provide employment opportunity during construction and operation phase. There

will also be a wide economic impact in terms of generating opportunities for secondary occupation

within and around the Hospital. The main principles considered for employment and income

generation opportunities are out lined below:

Employment strategy will provide for preferential employment of local people

Conditions of employment will be address issues like minimum wages and medical care for

the workers during construction.

Contractors will be required to abide to employment priority towards locals and abide by the labor

laws regarding standards on employee terms and conditions.

Improved Working Environment for Employees
