2.4 MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

a) Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant

Iron Ore Beneficiation is a preparation of raw materials i.e. fine grinding of desired grade

ores meeting Pelletization process requirement. Beneficiation is done when the material

is of low grade.

The Iron Ore beneficiation plant process consists of following sections:

Grinding Section

1. Size reduction (crushing, primary/ secondary grinding for liberating valuable mineral)

2. Scrubbing process (Removal of associated gangue)- The Iron ore after grinding is

feed to the Scrubber with a conveyor belt supplied together with a proper amount of

water where agglomerates are dispersed and particle surfaces scrubbed.

3. Screening (classification at required sizes)- The scrubber discharge is pumped to a

screen and particles <0.5mm are screened off.

4. Gravity separation process - It separates the heavy & light minerals from the ore.

5. Cycloning process (classification by sorting).

Spiral Separation Section

• The spiral separation section consists of batteries of primary concentrating spirals,

cleaner concentrating spirals, scavenger concentrating spirals and ends with a Low

Intensity Magnetic Separator (LIMS) before the transfer to the High Gradient

Magnetic Separator (HGMS).

• Cyclone U/F is feed to the primary spirals together with the return flow from the

tailings of the cleaner spirals.

• The primary spirals produces 3 products, a concentrate, a middling’s and tailings.

• The primary concentrate is pumped to the cleaner spirals, the middling’s is pumped

to the scavenger spirals and the tailings, 38.24tph are pumped to the LIMS together

with the scavenger tailings.

• The cleaner spirals gives 2 products, a concentrate and tailings.

• The scavenger spirals gives 2 products, a concentrate and tailings. The scavenger

concentrate is pumped together with the primary spiral concentrate to the cleaner

spiral.

High Gradient Magnetic Separation (HGMS) Section

Magnetic separation process recovers the magnetic constituents

1. The HGMS separation section consists of a HGMS separator size 250-07-07 with two

parallel magnetic heads of 0.7 Tesla (7 k Gauss).

2. The feed 81.36tph is passing a passive matrix ahead of the HGMS to remove coarse

particles and other scrape that can block the magnetic heads and is then

distributed to the 2 parallel magnet heads on the HGMS.

3. The HGMS gives 2 products, a concentrate 36tph and a tailing 45. 36tph. The

concentrate is flushed out backwards from the separator through a vacuum system

and is pumped to the concentrate thickener. The HGMS tailings gravity flows via a

launder to the tailings thickener.

Regrinding Mill

1. The concentrate has to be further grounded to meet the required particle size

distribution of pellet feed, app. k80 45µm. The energy needed is approximate

6.5kWh/ton, which corresponds to a ball mill with a motor power of 1200 kW.

2. The mill feed, 135.84tph with 65.0% Fe and 3.3% (Al2O3+SiO2) is the combined product

from the concentrate thickener U/F and the spiral concentrate. The mill is operated in

open circuit. The mill discharge is pumped to the slurry holding tank before filtration.

Dewatering Section

• The dewatering section consists of a concentrate thickener, a tailings thickener,

slurry holding tank, a filter press and filter cake transfer conveyor.

• HGMS concentrate, 36tph is the fed to the concentrate thickener. The

concentrate thickener underflow is pumped to the regrinding mill.

• The thickener overflow is collected in a reclaim water tank for primary use as

flush water in the HGMS.

• Excess water flows to the process water tank.

• The regrind mill discharge is pumped to a slurry holding tank and from the tank

the slurry is pumped to the filter press.

• The concentrate, 135.84tph is dewatered on a filter press to final moisture of

9.5%. The filter cake is discharged onto a conveyor belt and put on a stockpile.

Filtrate water and wash water are pumped to the flush water tank.

• The tailings, 64.16tph, cyclone O/F and HGMS tailing, flows by gravity in launder

to the tailings thickener.

• Tailing thickener U/F is pumped to the tailings pond and the tailing thickener O/F

is collected in the process water tank.

b) Iron Ore Pelletization Plant

The process of Iron Ore Pelletization involves following stages:

•••• Formation of green balls (rolling of moistened ground ore mixed with additives )

•••• Drying, pre-heating, heating of green balls in TG.

•••• Induration of heated pellet in Rotary Kiln.

•••• Cooling of Indurated Balls called pellet in cooler.

C) Producer Gas Plant

• For the production of Gas the saturated air formed by mixing the low pressure steam

self-generated by furnace proper water jacket and recuperator with the blowing air

will be taken as gasification agent.

• The gasification agent enters into Gasifier via the grate from air pipe at the bottom of

furnace via passing through dry check valve, which will react with hot semi-coke

formed by raw coal fed in reverse way to generate hot gas at gasification section,

among which, about 70% will be led out via the channel within central steel tube and

circular Gasifier wall to form the bottom gas.

• The rest 30% will directly heat, dry and carbonize the soft coal at carbonization

section, and form the top gas together with carbonization gas.

• The soft coal entering the furnace will be heated by hot gas generated in gasification

zone and loses its internal and external moisture at first (90~150˚C), then it will be

gradually carbonized (150~550˚C) to release the volatile matter, the composition of

which is tar, paraffin gas, phenol and mixture of H2 , CO2 , CO, H2O, among which, the

tar and light tar will be eliminated through subsequent purification when going with

top gas, while the paraffin gases and H2 , CO2 , CO will, as carbonization gas, mix with

partial Gasifier gas generated at gasification section to form top gas.

• The purification treatment for top gas will use the advanced class-1 electric tar

catcher with an operation temperature between 90~150˚C to remove the heavy tar

(the general calorific value can reach to above 8,200Kcal/kg). The removed heavy tar

typically account for 2~5% of total charging coal, which is high quality chemical

material and fuel. The top gas that undergoes preliminary tar-removal will then enter

into the indirect cooler.

• Once the raw coal is carbonized by bottom gas at carbonization section, it will form

hot semi-tar and enter into gasification section.

• Purification treatment for bottom gas.

• The bottom gas and top gas separately enter into the top mixing & spraying tower of

indirect cooler where they are mixed, and cleaned.

• The temperature of mixed gas entering into electric light oil catcher is between

35~45˚C. The gas mainly contains light oil. The impurities in the gas will be reduced to

below 100mg/m3 after light oil removing and dedusting, then, the gas will leave the

electric light oil catcher and enter into the low pressure gas main. The light oil

production rate is 1-2%.

• The cold & clean gas arriving in low pressure main will be pressurized to around

15,000pa after passing through the gas booster, the pressurized gas will enter into

the high pressure gas main and via which being transferred to the user.

Apart from the Baseline monitoring as given in the in proceeding section, the data on

land use, vegetation and agricultural crops were also collected by the field team

through interaction with a large number of local inhabitants of the study area and

different Government departments/ agencies. This provided an excellent opportunity

to the members of the field team for obtaining clear scenario of the existing

environment of the study area.

3.3 LAND USE / LAND COVER OF THE STUDY AREA

Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (it includes grass,

asphalt, trees, bare ground, water, etc.) whereas Land use is the human use of land.

Land Use involves the management and modification of natural environment or

wilderness into built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements. It has also

been defined as "the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a

certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it".

Realizing the need for an up-to-date nationwide LULC maps by several departments

in the country, as a prelude, a LULC classification system with 24 categories up to

Level-II, suitable for mapping on 1:25,000 scale, was developed by NRSA, DOS by

taking into consideration the existing land use classification adopted by NATMO,

CAZRI, Ministry of Agriculture, Revenue Department, AIS and LUS, etc. and the details

obtainable from satellite imagery.

There is no one ideal classification of land use and land cover, and it is unlikely that

one could ever be developed. There are different perspectives in the classification

process, and the process itself tends to be subjective, even when an objective

numerical approach is used.

Concepts concerning land cover and land use activity are closely related and in many

cases have been used interchangeably. The purposes for which lands are being used

commonly have associated types of cover, whether they are forest, agricultural,

residential, or industrial. Remote sensing image-forming devices do not record

activity directly. The remote sensor acquires a response which is based on many

characteristics of the land surface, including natural or artificial cover. The interpreter

uses colour, tones, textures, shapes, size, patterns, and site associations to derive

information about land use activities from what is basically information about land

cover.

To begin with, there is considerable diversity of opinion about what constitutes land

use, although present use of land is one of the characteristics that are widely

recognized as significant for planning and management purposes. A land use and land

cover classification system which can effectively employ orbital and high-altitude

remote sensor data should meet the following criteria:

� The level of interpretation accuracy in the identification of land use and land

cover categories from remote sensor data should be 60 - 85 percent.

� The accuracy of interpretation for the several categories should be about equal.

� Repeatable or repetitive results should be obtainable from one interpreter to

another and from one time of sensing to another.

� The classification system should be suitable for use with remote sensor data

obtained at different times of the year.

� Effective use of subcategories that can be obtained from ground surveys or

from the use of larger scale or enhanced remote sensor data should be

possible.

Some of these criteria should apply to land use and land cover classification in

general, but some of the criteria apply primarily to land use and land cover data

interpreted from remote sensor data. The classes in the classification system are

hierarchically organized to find its applicability in different spatial scales and

collapsible for comparison with the reported areas; adopt directly by user agencies

with refinements at their end. The classification must be scientifically defensible

presenting a logical progression of its applicability over large areas, amenable for use

with remote sensor data. The classification scheme is adopted for extracting

information for on most possible land use/land cover classes in general and all the

agricultural seasons in particular and hence enable to repeat the process at regular

time intervals.

The present Land use / Land cover map for the proposed project activity is prepared

by current vintage of satellite image. This report, therefore, helps in assessing the

impact on land use pattern in the study area due to the proposed project activity.

• DATA USED

Current vintage data of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite Resourcesat -2 (L4 FMX)

digital FCC (False Color Composite) has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land

cover thematic map of study area. Survey of India toposheet as a reference map on

1:50,000 scale has been used for preparation of base layer data like road, rail network,

village and project site and for geo-referencing of satellite image.

Technical Details

� Satellite Image - Resource sat-2 (L4 FMX)

� Satellite Data Source - NRSA, Hyderabad

� Software Used - Earth Resources Data Analysis System

(ERDAS) Imagine 9.2

• METHODOLOGY

Land use / Land cover map preparation, Base map creation; Geometric and

Radiometric correction of satellite image has been processed using ERDAS Imagine

9.2 Software.

The methodology used for present LU/LC of study area is given below:

(i) ENHANCEMENT OF SATELLITE IMAGE

Satellite data is composed of substantial noise and haze errors due to various

environmental factors, which affect the amount of reflectance (information) that can

be deciphered. Since mapping of satellite images is based on spectral signatures, it is

necessary to normalize the redundant values into near true values. This process of

deriving true reflectance values is known as normalization. This enhances

interpretability of the satellite image thereby facilitating better identification of land

features viewed on satellite imagery. Histogram equalization and radiometric

correction has been used for satellite image enhancement.

(ii) GEOREFERENCING OF SATELLITE IMAGE

Survey of India Toposheet has registered in Geographic lat/long. Satellite image has

been geo referenced by using registered SOI toposheet as a reference map taking

suitable Ground Control Points (GCPs) like intersection point of railway, road

network, landmarks and permanent feature

location and project site have been created in vector data format. Base map layer

information has been used for analysis of surrounding features like road, rail, village

location near Proposed Plant through superimposing on thematic map for data

integration.

(iv) INTERPRETATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA

Satellite images are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value that is

known as digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel that captures

reflectance of ground features represented in terms of Digital number, each

representing specific land features. Using image classification technique, the satellite

data is converted into thematic information, map based on the user’s knowledge

about the ground area. Hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual interpretation and

digital image processing for identification of different land use and vegetation cover

classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature. Spectral signature

represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed based

on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow,

association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature.

Training sites are then assigned based on their spectral signature and interpretation

elements. Using image classification algorithm land use map is generated.

(C) RESULTS

A hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual interpretation and digital image

processing to generate output Land use / Land cover map of 10 km study area on

1:50000 scale.

3.3.2 Digital Elevation Model

Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over a

specified area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the "Bare Earth". The intervals

between each grid points will always be referenced to some geographical coordinate

system. This is usually either latitude-longitude or UTM (Universal Transverse

Mercator) coordinate systems. The closer are together the grid points, more detailed

information will be in the file. The details of the peaks and valleys in the terrain will be

better modelled with small grid spacing than when the grid intervals are very large.

Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file.

As a result peak points and valley points not coinciding with the grid will not be

recorded in the file. For practical purpose this "Bare Earth" DEM is generally

synonymous with a Digital Terrain Model (DTM). DEM has been prepared for the

proposed project activity of GIL for 10 km radius of the study area.

(A) DATA USED

DEM Data : Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data

Software Used : ERDAS Imagine 9.2 and Arc GIS 9.2

(B) METHODOLOGY

Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data has been used for creation of Digital

Elevation Model of the study area. The SRTM data has vertical accuracy of 16m and

the spatial resolution is of 90m.

1st Stage :

The first processing stage involves importing and merging the 1-degree tiles into

continuous elevation surfaces in Arc GRID format.

2nd Stage :

Re-sampling the data at 23m is done and a contour interval of 10m through the usual

process of interpolation is created.

3rd Stage:

SRTM data is converted in grid format through Arc GIS 9.2 to obtain elevation

information of study area. Contours are then generated at 10 m interval through 3D

analyst of Arc GIS and then are in0terpolated with raster data.

3.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE PATTERN

Physiography

The district is part of Jabalpur Division. Jabalpur is located at 23°10′N 79°57′E / 23.17°N

79.95°E.The central point of India is located in Jabalpur district. It has an average

elevation of 411 metres (1348 ft). In the south-eastern part of Jabalpur district in

Madhya Pradesh that constitutes a part of Satpura and Bhitrigarh uplands, many old

erosional platforms at various levels, though now dissected into landscapes of

various stages are easily identified by even skylines. These wide spread uniformity is

due to the abundance of accordant summit levels at uniform altitudes in the area. The

region forms a part of the vast deccan plateau of Central India. It marks the beginning

of the plateau at the nothern boundary. The hill ranges running across the plateau

have a subdued topography of old peneplains.

The major rivers that flow through this region are the Narmada, Hiren and Vanganga.

Narmada is the largest river of all which has many tributaries as well. Narmada

flowing through the marble rocks attracts tourists from all over the world. The main

water reservoirs of Kahdari along with Pariyat are located in the northeast of this

region. The topography of Jabalpur is truly admirable. The hills contain deposits of

minerals and ancient remains, hence making them subjects of much interest for

geologists and archaeologists. The hills here are rocky with innumerable barren

hillocks. The study area near Ghughra village Hiren River flowing 1km SE direction.

This river is main source of water in industries.

Drainage Pattern-

The peculiar topography of the Jabalpur district provides an excellent natural

drainage pattern. The central ridge, that is just parallel to the railway horse shoe

which begins from the dwarf hills in the east and runs to the west. The drainage of

the city is divided into two distinct parts i.e. northern portion and the southern

portion. The northern plain gradually slopes from east to north-west while the

southern part of the town slopes towards the south. The storm water of the central

city is channelised through Moti nala and Omti nala which passes through the city and

ultimately discharges into Pariat River, which ultimately merges with Hiren River, a

tributary of river Narmada at the down-stream of river. The southern side is drained

off by Khandhari nallah which discharges into River Narmada towards south-west.

Tehsil Sihora falls in Narmada basin. The Hiren is the main river, draining in this area.

The Slope of the river bed is about 1 in 1000 & it mostly flows through alluvium

deposits. Besides these there are number of streams flowing nearby the Sihora town

some of the important ones are Barne Nalla, Bafhela Nala, Magni Nala & Mabbaria

Nala which are all tributaries of Hiren river.

Geology-

Madhya Pradesh State hosts the country's 90% diamond, 63% diaspore, 61% laterite,

56% pyrophyllite, 41% molybdenum, 29% dolomite, 17% each of rock phosphate &

fireclay resources. The submetamorphic rocks of the central and north-eastern part of

the Jabalpur district from a part of the narrow elongated and discontinues belt of the

sub metamorphic series occurring in the Narmada, son and Ganges valleys (Pandey

1970). The central and north-eastern parts of the Jabalpur district are occupied by a

belt of sub-metamorphic rocks which is approximately 30 miles wide. There exists a

great spared of the Vindhyan sandstones and the Decan trap respectively towards

the north and south of this belt. The sub metamorphic series includes a great variety

of rocks and stretches and eastwards into the son valley.

The Siroha area S-shaped outcrop pattern of the sub metamorphic rocks of the area.

Jabalpur formations ranging in age from lower proterozoic to pliestocene,

structurally very complex and thus considered a "Home of Geology". The rocks of

Jabalpur area are mainly Upper Carboniferous to lower Cretaceous period. Important

associated mineral deposits occurrences in the entire district like calcite, china clay,

Iron ore, coal, Limestone etc. The project site area Iron ore deposit exposed.

Pratapgarh area hematite and magnetite mineral associated with iron ore deposits.

3.5 SEISMICITY & FLOOD HAZARD ZONATION OF THE AREA

3.5.1 Seismicity of The Area

In peninsula India the state of Madhya Pradesh, along with Gujarat and Maharashtra,

has suffered from frequent earthquakes, both deadly and damaging, although not

located on or near any plate boundaries. All the earthquakes here, as in all of

peninsula India, are intraplate events. Most of the activity is confined to the Narmada-

Son fault zone which runs across the state. Several faults have been identified in this

region out of which many show evidence of movement during the Holocene epoch.

3.6 METEOROLOGY

Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of

air pollutants released into atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal

connective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical connective

transport (atmospheric stability) and topography of the area.

Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much important in deciding the

project installation, assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing

environmental management plan.

Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful

interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. Such source of data is

the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which maintains a network of

meteorological stations at several important locations.

The nearest IMD station to the Proposed Project is located in Jabalpur. The

Meteorological data i.e. temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and wind

direction, recorded at two synoptic hours i.e. 08:30 and 17:30 for Winter Season

(December, 2013 to February,2014) was obtained from this station to study

meteorology of the study area.

3.6.1 Climate

The climate of Jabalpur can be divided into three distinct seasons, viz.

• Monsoon lasting from mid-June to September.

• Winter from November to February; and

• Summer from March to mid-June.

The month of October witnesses the transition from monsoon to winter. The city

experiences hot summers and cold winters, with temperatures ranging from an

average low of around 9.8O Celsius to an average high of about 41.7O Celsius.

Temperature during the peak summer month of May can soar to 47 degrees Celsius,

while the lowest temperature recorded was 00 Celsius on 2nd December 1905.

3.6.2 Rainfall

The monsoons arrive in July and depart by September. The city witnesses torrential

rainfall during the monsoons which lend an air of pleasantness to the climate.

3.6.3 Wind Speed / Wind direction

Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period has enabled

identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the

collected meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind

directions were calculated and plotted as wind roses for twenty four hour duration.

Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage relative humidity were

also recorded simultaneously.

The observed wind pattern during the study period is described below and is plotted

for the study period. The predominant direction over all wind patterns for the study

period (Winter season’2013-14) is from North direction. Wind speed during this period

varies from 1.2 to 6.2 m/sec. Wind rose diagram is shown in Figure- 15.

3.6.4 Micro-Meteorology at Site

Meteorological station was set-up at site to record surface meteorological parameter

during study period Winter Season 2013-2014.

3.6.5 Mixing Height

Mixing height is the height to which dispersion of pollutants occurs within the

atmosphere. Mixing height depends on basic meteorological parameters, surface

turbulent fluxes and physical parameters, and follows a diurnal cycle.

Inversion may be defined as the “departure from the usual increase or decrease of

atmospheric conditions with altitude.” It usually refers to an increase in temperature

with increasing altitude, which is in contrast to usual decrease of temperature with

height.

In the absence of onsite data, IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and

Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, for the study area has been used.

3.8 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication,

causes annoyance, distracts from work, disturb sleep, thus deteriorating quality of

human environment. Therefore Noise Pollution monitoring has been carried out.

Noise levels were measured near highways, residential areas and other settlements

located within 10 km radius around the Proposed Project site.

In order to know the baseline noise levels in and around the Proposed Project site,

noise levels were measured at the project site and also at the villages in the study

area. Table–below shows the locations of the noise monitoring stations of the study

area.

3.10.2 Result

Soil is the media for supplying the nutrients for plant growth. Nutrients are

available to plants at certain pH and pH of soils can reflect by addition of

pollutants in it either by air, or by water or by solid waste or by all of these. In

order to establish the baseline status of soil characteristics, soil samples were

collected at 6 sampling locations.

The analysis results show that soil is neutral to slightly alkaline as pH value

ranging from 6.68 to 7.43 with organic matter from 0.86% to 1.13 %. Soil texture is

Silty Clay. Electrical conductivity ranges between 0.28 to 0.34 (ms/cm), hence

this type of soil is average. Total nitrogen ranges from 239.91 to 265.46 kg/ha,

indicates that N is in a better state in this soil. Total Phosphorus ranges from

22.09 to 197.28 kg/ha, indicates that less to more than sufficient amount of

Phosphorus is present in the soil. Range of Potassium varies from 208.32 to

1320.12 kg/ha which indicates that medium to more than sufficient amount of

Potassium is present in the soil.

3.11 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

3.11.1 Methodology

3.11.1.1 Floral Study

The floral survey of project area is based on extensive field survey of the area.

The seasonal study has been conducted in winter season. The plant species were

identified with the help of available literature, concern with forest department

and local people of study area.

3.11.1.2 Faunal Study

Ground survey were carried out by trekking the impact zone for identification of

important animal group such as butterflies (Insect), birds, mammals and reptiles

etc inhibiting the area. The fauna were identified by using standard monograph

of birds, butterflies, reptiles, Mammals etc.

Survey techniques: The visual encounter survey (VES) technique was used. The

VES technique involves walking through the study site systematically searching

for animals during a given time period. No Time Constrained Studies (TCS) were

utilized and hence a varied amount of time was spent at the sites based on

species diversity. Micro-habitats studied included terrestrial, arboreal and

aquatic during the study.

Given the elusive nature of animals, VES techniques are very effective to

estimate the species richness. However, species counts of animals are very

difficult, given the terrain and nocturnal habits of many species.

Equipment used: Torches for night searches, measuring tape and vernier

calipers for measurements and a Nikon Camera of 25 X Zoom for photography

and binocular for assessment of animal to safe distance.

proposed project. The habitation of wild animals and corridors of wildlife may be

affected through proposed project activities like noise, gaseous emission, dust

emission, light beam and vehicles movement.

The perennial river is flowing nearby proposed site of project that aquatic flora

and fauna may be affected through proposed project activities. The fugitive and

gases emissions are expected to be generated that may be affected aquatic

ecosystem of river. Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem of surrounding proposed

project site may be affected if Waste Water and solid waste does not treat in

proper manner.

During construction and operation phase, the various vehicles movement,

machinery activities would be create excessive noise that may be force to

moving away of wild animal from nearby forest patches. During the biodiversity

assessment and concern with local stakeholder revealed that the project study

area does not fall in migration route of migratory Birds.

The study area does not form part of any National park, Wild life Sanctuary, and

ecological sensitive area.

3.11.5 Biodiversity Impact Mitigation Measure

During construction and operation phase would be followed mitigation measure

for reduce impact on surrounding ecology and biodiversity -

• The preferred rout of wild animal movement would be maintained in

ecological manner.

• Ensure silence zone on around wild life habitation and forest patches of

nearby proposed project site.

• Speed of vehicle would not increase more than 20 km/hr in nearby forest

area and habitation of wild animals.

• Paved road would be use for transportation to minimize fugitive emission.

• Transported material and store of mineral would also be well covered.

• Water sprinkler would be used on connecting road for transportation of

material to control fugitive emission in surrounding environment.

• Transport vehicles and machinery would be properly maintained and

periodically check pollution level to reduce noise level and gases emission

surrounding environment.

• Transportation of raw material and construction material should be

preferred in day time.

• The removal or picking of any protected or unprotected plants shall not be

permitted.

• Water pollution and Air pollution would be control at source as per guideline

of Central Pollution control Board, New Delhi.

• The three tier greenbelt would be developed on periphery of mine pit,

around water bodies, village with in mine lease. The plant specifies selection

for greenbelt would be according to guideline of CPCB. These species should

be drought resistance and can be control gaseous emission and fugitive

emission. The green belt is also beneficial for controlling noise pollution of

surrounding environment.

• Riparian vegetation would be developed on the water edge of river crossing

nearby proposed project to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystem and reduce

the negative impact on plankton diversity of river aquatic ecosystem.

• Create water holes and check dams for drinking purpose to wildlife with in

reserve and protected forest with the corporation of forest department.

• The degraded forest patches would be restoration as ecological manner

with corporation of forest department.

• In the event that animals are present that may pose a risk to human safety, a

suitable animal handler must be requested to removed the animal in an

environmentally responsible manner. This is specifically refers to snake.

• Create a live hedge of sturdy woody shrubs along the road on either side

that would restrict the wildlife to cross road connected to project site.

Figure 27: Gender Wise Demographic Details

As per the primary data & secondary data we found that the distribution of

population varies from place to place. In the study area some villages are

densely populated (See table no 40) such as Hargarh, Mangeli, Badkhera, Kumhi

etc. But on the other hand some are very less populated i.e. Darauli khurd,

Sarda, Pipariya, Mahgawan etc.

3.12.2.6 Vulnerable Group

While developing an Action Plan, it is very important to identify the population

which falls under the marginalized and vulnerable groups and special attention

has to be given towards these groups while making action plans. Special

Figure no. 25 show that the vulnerable group (i.e. Schedule Caste & Tribes) in

primary zone (0-3km) is 49.59%, in secondary zone (3-5km) is 34.95 % and in

outer zone(5-10km) is 34.28%.

3.12.2.7 Literacy Rate

Literacy is Key for socio-economic progress, Literacy Rate is the amount of

people in a country with the ability to read and write. The analysis of the literacy

levels as per Key- plan is done in the proposed area. The 10 km radius area

demonstrates a literacy rate of 75.02%, which is more than state level (66.11%) but

less than district literacy rate (81.07%). The male literacy rate in the study area

works out to be 85.44 % whereas the female literacy rate, which is an important

indicator for social change, is observed to be 64.13 % in the study area and 35.56%

observed as illiterates. This indicates that the literacy rate is good in the proposed

project area. The distribution of literates in the villages is given in Table-42.

A number of schemes are being carried out to improve the status of education

in the area: Shiksha Aapke Dwar (Education at your door), District Primary

Education Program (DPEP), Ghummakad Vidyalaya Shiksha Mitra Yojna. In this

area, the literacy rate is good. Male and Female literacy rate of villages are

varying place to place. Although Female literacy rate in the region is coming out

low as compared to male. Due to high literacy, educated manpower is easily

available in the local area.

3.12.2.8 Economic Activities

The economy of an area is defined by the occupational pattern and income level

of the people. The occupational structure of residents in the study area is

studied with reference to work category. The population is divided occupation

wise into three categories, viz., main workers, marginal workers and non-

workers. The workers include cultivators, agricultural laborers, those engaged in

household industry and other services.

The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period of

less than 180 days during the reference year. The non-workers include those

engaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents,

beggars, vagrants etc. besides institutional inmates or all other non-workers

who do not fall under the above categories.

3.12.2.9 Annual Income from Various Sources

The Income & Expenditures of an area is defined by the occupational pattern

and income level of the people in the area. Bidi making is the main source of

income and mostly rural population depends upon this as well as agriculture

activities also for their livelihood. But the majority of people are engaged in

small scale industries i.e. activities like Bidi making, basket making, private

services, government services, labor etc.

3.12.2.10 Agriculture and cropping pattern

Agriculture is the main occupation in the proposed area. Almost 73 % of the

families depend on agriculture practices for their livelihood. As per secondary

survey we find that the areas have mostly land is good fertile land. Balkund Nadi

(0.5 km in SE), Hiren River (1.0 km in SSE), Silpuri Nala (4.0 km in ENE), Hagni

Nala (7.0 km in South), Bhagela Nala (7.5 km in SSW) and Barne Nadi (9.0 km in

SW) are located surrounding from project site, which is used for irrigation

purpose. The district gets moderate rainfall of 889 mm during July-September

due to SW- Monsoon, it is very useful for agriculture. Apart from agricultural

activities they also involve in Bidi making, basket making etc, for income. In this

area cropping pattern are wheat, rice, pulses, oilseeds, and maize based on the

season crops. Mostly villagers (70%) start their agriculture activities in rainy

season due to availability of rain water. The villages where irrigation facilities are

available mainly wheat are cultivated. The inhabitants are financially well to do

and have to spend money to draw water by electronic motor from well, tube

well & canal which also passes through some of the villages. Sprinkling system

and manual method are also adopted for irrigation.

3.12.2.11 Basic Amenities

These are basic facilities which are available in proposed area. In all villages’

basic facilities as road, school, drinking water, electricity etc are available except

some villages. Like nearest Populated area is Sihora Tehsil about 8.0 km away

from the proposed project site in WSW direction. Depending upon population

there are schools, dispensaries, small hospitals, Drinking water, Market, Post

Office Petrol Pump, and Administrative Office, places of worship etc are

available in nearby area of the project site. Most of the villages are electrified.

Final EIA/EMP Report

M/s. Gulf Ispat ltd. 114 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd

Bank, Cooperative Society facility is also available, and Villagers are using this

facility.

3.12.2.12 Educational Facilities

Education plays a vital role in our life. We know that development in any area

mostly depends upon regional education system. Government has provided

educational facilities in each village. According to secondary surveyed of villages

Primary schools are available in every villages and Middle, Secondary and Senior

Secondary School (depend on population size) are available in some of the

villages children have access to Primary School and Middle school. As per census

data Female Literacy level is low in the proposed area which indicates that there

is need of good educational facilities.

After cross check of literacy rate from census data we found that some of the

village’s female literacy rate is not satisfactory like Parasiya, Manjauli, and Bar

etc. It has been found 49.63, 41.02 and 47.03 respectively in those villages.

3.12.2.13 Health Facilities

Good medical facilities are provided by Government such as Sub-Health center,

health center, aaganbari, etc but in the proposed area its provided services are

very poor. The people residing in the villages forced to depend on nearby larger

town like Jabalpur for better health care. Primary health care is poor in the

villages. People are not benefited by various government health schemes such

as Janani Surakhsa Yojana, Nationa Rural Health Mission.

3.12.2.14 Other Infrastructure Facilities

a) Transport Facilities

The proposed area is served by road transport. . The National Highways NH-7 is

at 5.2 km in NW and State Highway - 51 is 5.5 in NW direction from the project.

Most of the villages are well connected with major-district roads, village roads.

The nearest railway station is Central Railway Mainline at approximate distance

of 2.7 km in NW direction & Dundi Railway Station is 6.5 km in NNE direction

from the proposed site.

b) Post and Telegraphs

Final EIA/EMP Report

M/s. Gulf Ispat ltd. 115 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd

The proposed area has good service of post. The site is well connected with

communication facilities like telephone, fax, wireless and telex. There are few

Post Offices in the proposed area. The proposed area is served by adequate

telephone and mobile network.

c) Electrification in the area

Most of the villages have electricity. Electricity is available for domestic,

commercial, industrial, agricultural and public lighting purposes. It is provided by

state electric board.

3.12.2.15 Drinking Water Facility

Drinking water is being fulfilled by hand pumps, dug wells, ponds and other

small water bodies. Hand pump facility is provided by Government, it is available

in every village and some villages have Government Scheme, Janta Jal Yogan

and Nal Yojana. In some villages, villagers made small water harvesting tanks in

their houses for drinking purpose. The existing water supply condition in the

villages is average. The number of individuals connection in the villages is

minimum, majority of the people are dependent on the community taps, in

addition to the drinking water the people are dependent on hand pumps. In the

summer season villagers are face water crises. Villagers travel in nearby villages

for drinking water. Water for irrigation purpose is used from bore wells and dug

wells. Villagers use local water bodies for washing cloth, cattle, irrigation and

many other purposes.

3.12.3 Potential Impacts & Mitigation Measures

3.12.3.1 Changes in social environment

In this section, an attempt has been made to describe the social effects of Iron

ore Pelletization and Beneficiation plant.

Social effects are a hybrid form of environmental, social and economic factors.

However, it should be emphasized that quantifying the socio-economic effects is

a difficult task.

• The proposed Iron ore Pelletization and Beneficiation plant project activities

will provide employment to person of different skills and trades.

Final EIA/EMP Report

M/s. Gulf Ispat ltd. 116 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd

• The employment potential will ameliorate economic conditions of these

families directly and provide employment to many other families indirectly

who are involved in business.

• The employment of local people in primary and secondary sectors of project

shall upgrade the prosperity of the region. This in-turn will improve the

socio-economic conditions of the area.

• The trend of out migration for employment, if any, is likely to be reduced

due to better economic opportunities available in the area.

• Proposed plant will result in considerable growth of stimulating the

industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small and medium scale

industries may be further developed.

3.12.3.2 Socio-economics

The project activities shall have good as well as adverse impacts on any of the

common property resources of the village communities.

Movement of heavy vehicles sometimes cause problems to agricultural land,

human habitations, air, noise, water and movement of public and also cause

traffic hazards. Air pollution is likely to be caused at various stages such as

excavation, loading, transportation and screening of material. . Most of the dust

will be generated from loading, screening and transportation operations.

3.12.3.3 Proposed Mitigation Measures

Air Environment:

The major pollutants released from the proposed plant will be Gaseous & Dust

emission.

• Gaseous emission will be control by keeping appropriate height of the

Chimneys

• Fugitive dust emission will be due to raw materials handling, loading and

unloading of raw materials.

• Regular spraying of water by water sprinkling system over haulage

roads.

Noise Environment:

• By selecting low noise generating equipment.

3.12.5 Conclusion

Company has committed to implement all the pollution control measures to

protect the surrounding environment. The project can definitely improve the

regional, state & national economy. Industrial growth is an indication of socio

economic development. On the basis of secondary data the socio economic

study of the proposed area have been observed that villages gives clear picture

of its population, average household size, literacy rate, sex ratio etc, therefore

the literacy rate in the proposed area is (75.02%). It has schedule tribe and

schedule castes. A part of population is suffering from the lack of permanent job

to run their day to day life and get basic facility. The proposed project is

expected to bring significant socio-economic and environmental benefits both

at local and global level.

As per secondary data the facilities available in other parts of the districts is lacks

of higher level of amenities like higher education, health, drinking water and

communication network. The proposed area needs more medical facilities. The

area is well connected with road transport and communication facilities.

3.12.6 Recommendation and suggestion:

• Social awareness programmed will further improve by the local authority

such as sanitation and hygiene, HIV Prevention Program.

• Through this project, adult education and female education will be provided

to the illiterate adults and backward females of the villages in the project

surrounding area.

• The project will create opportunities for direct and indirect employment.

• Recruitment for the unskilled and semiskilled workers for the proposed

project will be from the nearby villages.

• The construction of new roads /strengthening of roads in the project area

will enhance the transportation facilities. With improved transportation

facilities there is always a scope for development.

• The implementation of this project will definite improve the physical and

social infrastructure of the surrounding area.

CHAPTER – IV: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.0 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS

The anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed Iron Ore Pelletization Plant &

Beneficiation Plant will be due to both constructional as well as operational activities.

These activities can disturb the environment in various ways, such as change in air,

water and soil quality of the area. While for the purpose of development and

economic upliftment of people, there is need for establishment of industries, but

these have to be environmental friendly. Therefore, it is essential to assess the

impacts of proposed industries on different environmental parameters, so that

abatement measures could be planned in advance for eco-friendly operation in the

area.

The increasing awareness among the people about ecological imbalance and

environmental degradation has raised many apprehensions. The major impacts on

different environmental parameters due to the proposed proposal are as given

below.

4.1 IMPACT DUE TO PROJECT ACTIVITIES

The main impact of the proposed project will be due to both constructional as well as

operational activities. During construction phase mainly involves site clearing,

excavation of soil, machinery installation, construction of internal road etc. Sources of

pollution for such activities will be temporary & doesn’t last for too long.

Activities involves during operation phase will mainly involve working of machineries,

combustion of fuel, transportation of man & material etc. Pollution phase shall be

continuous and will lead to varying impacts on the environment in terms of soil, air,

noise, water etc.

4.1.1 Impact on Soil and Land Use Pattern

4.1.1.1 Construction Phase

(A) Impact on Soil

The soil at the project site is silty clay (as per the sample analysis report from

laboratory) in nature which usually doesn’t support cultivation but is good for

plantation purpose. However the construction activities will lead to loss of plantation

Page 157: Gas Plant (2x25000 Nmenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/EIA/... · KW/Day Kilo Watt per Day Leq Equivalent Continuous sound Pressure Level m Meter mg/L Milligram per litre

within plant site due to pre-constructional clearing of site which will further lead to

removal of topsoil to some extent. Apart from such Temporary & localized

construction impacts, no adverse impacts on soil in the surrounding area are

anticipated.

(B) Impact on Topography & Land Use

Topography of the proposed site is generally flat. Some level of cutting and filling will

need to be done to maintain an even topography within the plant area. No major

change in topography of the site is envisaged due to proposed plant erection.

The results of present land use of the proposed project site indicates that Open scrub

Land dominates the Core Zone with 66.35% of the total land area. These will be

converted to industrial land use after the project execution. There are no major

human settlements in the project area.

Apart from the change in land use pattern and temporary change in soil profile within

the project site there will not be any adverse impact on the surrounding land use

during the construction period.

4.1.1.2 Operation Phase

(A) Impact on Soil

The soil of the area will get affected due to operational activities, if proper care will

not be taken.

i) Changes in soil texture due to settling of air borne dust or due to wash off of

solid particulates by surface water. This will lead to change in porosity,

permeability and other physical characteristics of soil of the area.

ii) Changes in soil chemistry due to addition of foreign material from polluted air

and water due to plant activities in the area.

But proper mitigative measures like use of efficient pollution control systems, proper

stack height, and use of top soil in plantation results in no significant impact on soil of

the core zone. There will be no impact on soil of the study area located beyond the

working area of the proposed project. Soil samples will be collected and tested at

regular intervals from the nearby areas. This will help in mitigation of any harmful

impact on soil due to the project activity, if any.

(B) Land Use Pattern and Cropping Pattern

Since the project is a Greenfield project the land use pattern of the area will

converted to Industrial Land.

The overall indirect impact on the cropping pattern is considered as positive due to

adoption of latest methods of sowing and irrigation as there is likelihood of increase

in purchasing power of local habitats, which could be attributed to the improvement

in income. There is likely to be no change in the cropping pattern in the close vicinity

of the plant, from the prevalent cropping pattern in the surrounding areas:

There will be no major impact on the cropping pattern of the area as:

� The Proposed Plant will be working on the principle of “Zero Effluent

Discharge” & no industrial waste water will be generated during the operation

phase.

� Solid waste so generated will be disposed off in designated mean.

� Adequate Green Belt will be developed all around the Plant boundary to

attenuate the pollutants emitted by the plant.

� Proper maintenance of vehicles will be done to reduce gaseous emissions &

only those vehicles will be used which are meeting PUC Std.

� ESP’s/ Bag filters will be installed in order to maintain the stack emission within

the limits prescribed by MoEF/ CPCB/SPCB.

Therefore, the impacts of Proposed Plant on the land use pattern will be insignificant.

4.1.2 Impact on Air Quality and Mitigation Measures

4.1.2.1 Impact during Construction Phase

The main sources of emission during the construction period will include site clearing,

the movement of construction equipment at site and dust emitted during the leveling

grading, earthwork and foundation works. Exhaust emissions from vehicles and

equipment to be deployed during the phase.

These activities will likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of Particulate

Matter, SO2, NO2 and CO. This will be mainly confined within the project boundary

due to the machinery use and to some extend outside the plant boundaries due to

transportation activities. The impact will, however, be marginal temporary and

manageable in nature. Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment

will help in controlling the gaseous emissions. Vehicle meeting PUC norms will be

used to further control the gaseous emission. Water sprinkling on roads and

construction site will prevent fugitive dust.

4.1.2.2 Impact during Operation Phase

The operational phase of the project comprises of various activities each of which will

have an impact Air Quality. Both Dust & Gaseous emissions are likely to be emitted.

The key emissions from the proposed Project are emissions due to Particulate Matter,

Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) & CO.

Better maintenance and installation of proper pollution control equipment like

ESPs/Bag filters help in reducing such emissions.

Hence, the overall quality of the ambient air shall be within the limit prescribed by

CPCB/SPCB after the commencement of Proposed Project.

4.1.2.3 Impact Due to Transportation of Raw Material

There will be some impact on the ambient air quality of the area due to the raw

material transportation as the majority of raw material transportation will be done via

road but this impact can be minimised by keeping proper maintenance of the vehicles

to be used & also allowing only those vehicles which are meeting PUC norms. The

details of the raw material transportation and its source are given in the table 44:

4.1.3 Cumulative Impact through Mathematical Modelling for the Proposed Plant

4.1.3.1 Air Pollution Modelling

Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing

mathematical model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model

designed for multiple point sources for short term. In the present case, AERMOD

version 8.0.5 dispersion model based on steady state gaussian plume dispersion,

designed for multiple point sources and developed by United States Environmental

Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used for simulations from Industrial sources.

4.1.3.2 Pollutants/Model Options Considered For Computations

The model simulations deal with major pollutant Particulate Matter emitted from the

proposed enhancement.

4.1.3.3 Model Options Used For Computations

The options used for short-term computations are:

� The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always

limited to that of the mixing layer;

� Stack tip down-wash is not considered;

� Buoyancy Induced Dispersion is used to describe the increase in plume

dispersion during the ascension phase;

� Calms processing routine is used by default;

� Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';

� Flat terrain is used for computations;

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

transformation and that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;

� Washout by rain is not considered;

� Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations; and

� The model computations have been done for 20 km with 500-m interval.

4.1.3.4 Modelling Procedure

Prediction of ground level concentrations (GLC’s) due to enhancement project has been

made by AERMOD version 8.0.5 as per CPCB guidelines. It is US-EPA approved model to

predict the air quality. The model uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options as

per guidelines on air quality models (PROBES/70/1997-1998). For this study uniform polar

receptors on flat terrain have been assumed.

Meteorological inputs required are hourly wind speed and direction, ambient

temperature, stability class, and mixing height. The model details are as follows.

4.1.3.5 Gaussian Plume Model

The AERMOD version 8.0.5 model is based on a numerical integration over the area in

the upwind and cross wind directions of Gaussian plume formula. This can be applied to

the Point, Area, Line, Volume sources (and other forms of area sources) simultaneously

and their resultant incremental concentration of the pollutant can be predicted.

4.1.3.6 Extrapolation of Wind Speed

Wind speed at stack level is calculated by power law as given below.

Ustack = U10 (Stack height/10)p

Where U10 is the wind speed at 10 meter level and p is the power law coefficient (0.07,

0.07, 0.10, 0.15, 0.35 and 0.55 for stability classes A,B,C,D,E and F respectively) as per

Irwin for rural areas (USEPA, 1987).

4.1.3.7 Stability Classification

Hourly stability is determined by wind direction fluctuation method as suggested by

Slade(1965)and recommended by CPCB (PROBES/70/1997-1998).

σa = Wdr/6

4.1.4 Impact on Noise Level and Mitigation Measures

4.1.4.1 Impact due to Construction Phase

During construction phase noise will mainly be due to civil work activities, construction

of internal road, installation of machineries etc. Other activities which will contribute

to ambient noise level will be movement of vehicles for transportation of

construction material, equipment & also for to & fro of manpower. But this will be

temporary in nature & will not last for too long.

4.1.4.2 Impact due to Operation Phase

During Operation Phase the sources of noise are running equipments viz. exhaust

Plant. Workers with long term exposure to fine particulate dust are at risk of

pneumoconiosis, emphysema, bronchitis, and fibrosis.

Methods to prevent and control exposure to dust include the following:

� Control of dust through implementation of good housekeeping and

maintenance;

� Use of air–conditioned, closed cabins;

� Use of dust extraction and recycling systems to remove dust from work areas,

especially in Beneficiation Unit;

� Use of air pollution control equipments like Bag filters/ESP’s

� Use of PPEs , as appropriate (e.g. masks and respirators) to address residual

exposures following adoption of the above-referenced process and engineering

controls;

Exposure to High temperatures

The principal exposures to heat in this sector occur during Handling of hot material

and operation and maintenance of hot equipment. Recommended prevention and

control techniques include the following:

� Shielding surfaces where workers proximity and close contact with hot

equipment is expected, using Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs), as

needed (e.g. insulated gloves and shoes);

� Minimizing the work time required in high temperature environments by

implementing shorter shifts at these locations;

Noise and Vibration Exposure

Exhaust fans and crushers, compressors motors are the main sources of noise and

vibrations from the working of equipments. Control of noise emissions will include

the use of silencers for ID fans, room enclosures for unit operators, noise barriers,

and, if noise cannot be reduced to acceptable levels, personal hearing protection (ear

plugs/muffs).

Physical hazards

the north and south of this belt. The sub metamorphic series includes a great variety

of rocks and stretches and eastwards into the son valley.

The Sihora area S-shaped outcrop pattern of the sub metamorphic rocks of the area.

Jabalpur formations ranging in age from lower proterozoic to pliestocene,

structurally very complex and thus considered a "Home of Geology". The rocks of

Jabalpur area are mainly Upper Carboniferous to lower Cretaceous period. Important

associated mineral deposits occurrences in the entire district like calcite, china clay,

Iron ore, coal, Limestone etc. The project site area Iron ore deposit exposed.

Pratapgarh area hematite and magnetite mineral associated with iron ore deposits.

7.3.4.1 Geomorphology and Physiography

The district is part of Jabalpur Division. Jabalpur is located at 23°10′N 79°57′E / 23.17°N

79.95°E.The central point of India is located in Jabalpur district. It has an average

elevation of 411 metres (1348 ft). In the south-eastern part of Jabalpur district in

Madhya Pradesh that constitutes a part of Satpura and Bhitrigarh uplands, many old

erosional platforms at various levels, though now dissected into landscapes of

various stages are easily identified by even skylines. These wide spread uniformity is

due to the abundance of accordant summit levels at uniform altitudes in the area. The

region forms a part of the vast deccan plateau of Central India. It marks the beginning

of the plateau at the nothern boundary. The hill ranges running across the plateau

have a subdued topography of old peneplains.

The major rivers that flow through this region are the Narmada, Hiren and Vanganga.

Narmada is the largest river of all which has many tributaries as well. Narmada

flowing through the marble rocks attracts tourists from all over the world. The main

water reservoirs of Kahdari along with Pariyat are located in the northeast of this

region. The topography of Jabalpur is truly admirable. The hills contain deposits of

minerals and ancient remains, hence making them subjects of much interest for

geologists and archaeologists. The hills here are rocky with innumerable barren

hillocks. The study area near Ghughra village Hiren River flowing 1km SE direction.

This river is main source of water in industries.

7.3.4.2 Climate and Rainfall

The climate of Jabalpur can be divided into three distinct seasons, viz.

• Monsoon lasting from mid-June to September.

7.3.5 Aquifer Type

Depth to open wells tapping this aquifer ranges from 5- 20m. Ground water generally

occur in unconfining conditions and is transmitted through the fractures, joints and

foliation planes of granites, gneisses, Phyllite and schist. These rocks are impervious

in nature and do not have primary porosity. These rocks have the secondary porosity

due to presence of fracture zone and weathering. The secondary porosity decreases

with depth due to overlying weight of the rocks. Hence maximum hydraulic

conductivity is observed at shallow depth generally less than 100m. The Gondwanas

are sedimentary formations rich in granular zones and form good aquifers. They

support both dug wells and tube wells capable of yielding 100-500 m3/d for draw

downs of 6-10 m. Iron ore of the area is thick bedded, well jointed and therefore is

expected to have adequate fracture porosity and hydraulic conductivity. Most of the

rain falling on the top of the limestone hills is likely to percolate down through the

bedding planes and form a ground water basin in the foothill area. Area also has the

alluvium as the major aquifer these aquifers mostly present along the river and canal.

It comprises of unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt, clay in various proportions and has

primary inter granular porosity and permeability. Hence it is the most promising

formation for ground water development.

7.3.6 Specific Yield Potential

Gondawanas support both dug wells and tube wells capable of yielding 100-500 m3/d

for draw downs of 6-10m. The specific capacity ranges between 75-250lpm/m of

drawdown, hydraulic conductivity lies between 10- 25 m/d and specific yield is from

10-15%. The thickness of alluvium varies from 10-318m with aquifer thickness from 10-

160m. The depth to water ranges from 5-30mbgl. The yields vary from 30-50 m3/hr for

shallow wells and 30-200 m3/hr for deep wells. In the Narmada basin the yields are of

the order of 15-30 m3/hr in the phreatic zone and 70-200 m3/hr in the deeper zone.

The yield of such hand pumps is not much and is just sufficient to meet the drinking

water requirement. Open wells are generally 7 to 20m deep and are operated by

diesel engines and do not sustain pumping.

7.3.7 Ground Water Movement in the Study Area

The investigated area ground water movement are governed by mainly secondary

fractures as pegmatite and gneisses are impervious in nature and do not possess

primary porosity. The alluvial thickness is very low and remains unsaturated during

major part of the year.

The general land slope and drainage in the area is towards west and is approx 1 km

and to south east about 9 km. The ground water also follows the topography and

surface water moves in south easterly direction in surrounding area. The plant site

area ground water depth varies between 11-18m shown in figure 33.

Vector map information, direction and magnitude, can be derived from one grid. The

arrow symbol points in the "downhill" direction and the length of the arrow depends

on the magnitude, or steepness, of the slope. A vector is drawn at each grid node

unless some nodes are skipped by changing the Frequency setting on the symbol

page in the vector map properties dialog. For example, consider a grid containing

elevation information. If water were poured over the surface, the direction arrows

would point in the direction water flows from high elevation to low elevation.

Magnitude is indicated by arrow length. In the water flow example, the steeper

slopes would have longer arrows. In the study area ground water flow is in South-

Eastern direction (figure 32). A contour map is a two-dimensional representation of

three-dimensional data shown in figure 33.

7.3.8 Water Quality

In the present study, water quality data is presented through statistical distribution

diagram such as Piper, Durov, Scholler, Ion Balance plots. The Piper diagram

conveniently reveals similarities and differences among surface and groundwater

samples because those with similar qualities will tend to plot together as groups. The

Durov plot shows variation of total cation vs. total anion concentrations; along with

TDS (mg/L) and pH data to allow further comparisons. Whereas Schoeller plots are

semi-logarithmic diagrams that represent major ion analyses in meq/L to demonstrate

different hydro geochemical water types on the same diagram. Actual parameter

concentrations of a number of analyses are plotted at one time, hence it benefits the

comparison processes.

7.3.8.1 Ground Water

Ground water geochemical data analysis indicates that these samples have lower

sulfate and higher bicarbonate amount with dominance of calcium ions. The pH varies

from all locations 6.8 to 7.08. All pH values within permissible limits so this is

indicating ground water quality is good. The Piper plot for these samples shows that

ground water belongs to three type facies. Project Site and Ghughra village Mg-HCO3

type facies. Village Dhanwahi, Pararia, Keolari, Dhangawan and Mihganwan Ca-HCO3

type water present. The Sihora area ground water belong to the Ca-Cl type (Figure

34,35 ,36). Hence mixing of three types of waters is present in the areas. Maximum

TDS values 608mg/L observe in Dhangawan village ground water. Schoeller plots

were also plotted for all ground water samples as indicated in figure 36.

7.3.8.2 Surface Water

Surface water geochemical data analysis indicates that these samples have lower

sulfate and higher bicarbonate amount with dominance of chloride ions. The pH

varies from all locations 7.18 to 7.43. All pH values within permissible limits so this is

indicating water quality is good. The Piper plot for these samples shows that surface

water belongs to Ca-HCO3 type facies (Figure 38, 39, 40). All surface water samples

belong to same type facies.

In geochemical analysis of other heavy metals As, F, Fe, Cu, Mn, Hg, Cd, Pb, Se, Cr, Zn, B,

Ni etc. concentration is not more than permissible limits (Table 24 & 24 in chapter III) .

The ground water from all sources remains suitable for drinking purposes as all the

7.3.9 Ground Water Resource Evaluation

Protecting the Nation's ground water has become a major goal of the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ministry of Environment and other

Environmental Agencies. Under the clean Water Act and its subsequent amendments

are required to undertake an assessment of the quality and quantity of their ground

water resources. Ground water resources of an area can be distinguished under two

categories:

1. Dynamic ground water resources

2. Static ground water resources

7.3.9.1 Dynamic Ground Water Resources

Dynamic ground water is that amount of water, which is found in the natural zone of

fluctuation in an aquifer due to ground water recharge. Total ground water recharge

(RT) of the area can be estimated by assessing the various components of the

following equation:-

RT = Rr+ Rs+ RI+ Sr+ Rc

Where,

Rr = Recharge from Rainfall.

Rs = Recharge from Irrigation due to surface water.

RI = Recharge from Irrigation due to ground water.

SI = Recharge through surface water bodies.

Rc = Recharge to confined aquifers.

7.3.9.2 Ground Water Resources in the Core Zone

The investigated industrial area covers 0.32696Sq.km. The main source of ground

water recharge is recharge due to rainfall by direct percolation and different rain

water harvesting systems.

1. Recharge due to rainfall (Rrm)

(A) By Groundwater Table Fluctuation Method:

Recharge due to rainfall is computed by specific yield water table fluctuation method

as below:

RrmL = A × S.F ×Sy

Page 256: Gas Plant (2x25000 Nmenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/EIA/... · KW/Day Kilo Watt per Day Leq Equivalent Continuous sound Pressure Level m Meter mg/L Milligram per litre

Final EIA/EMP Report

M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 216 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd

Where,

RrmL = Recharge due to rainfall in the investigated area.

A = Rechargeable area = 0.32696Sq. Km

S.F. = Seasonal fluctuation in water level = 1.4m Sedimentary/Limestone

Sy = Specific yield = 3% Sedimentary aquifers

Therefore,

RrmL = 0.32696× 106 x 1.4× 0.03

= 0.014mcm/annum ………………(I)

(B) By Rainfall Infiltration Factor Method:

In areas where groundwater level monitoring is not adequate in space and time,

rainfall infiltration may be adopted. The ground water estimation committee, Govt. of

India (1997) has suggested norms of recharge from rainfall under various hydro

geological conditions. The committee has suggested 3 to 10% as the rainfall infiltration

factor for limestone areas. An infiltration factor of 8% has been adopted for limestone,

due to steely dipping, thin bedded, jointed, and highly fractured. An attempt can be made

to find out if it matches with the ground water recharge calculated by seasonal

fluctuation method.

Rr2mL = area x normal rainfall x R.I. factor

= 0.32696 x106 x 1.3 x 0.08

= 0.034mcm/annum………………. (II)

7.3.9.3 Total Dynamic Reserves

Considering all above recharge components, total dynamic reserves in the

investigated area will be:

RTS= 0.034 mcm/annum

RrmL ≈ 0.014 mcm/annum

RrmL ≈ 0.034 mcm/annum

7.3.9.4 Ground Water Resources in the BufferZone

The area of Buffer zone (343.3966Sq.km – 0.32696 sq.km = 343.06964sq.km.) lies in

Village- Ghughra, Tehsil- Sihora, District: Jabalpur. This buffer zone has alluvium in

western part and crystalline metamorphic like iron ore, and mica schist in eastern

part. The entire area of buffer zone is irrigated by open wells only and tube well. Main

recharging factor in the area will be recharge due to rainfall and recharge due to

return flow from the applied irrigation. The ground water fluctuation of water table

during pre and post monsoon periods were recorded for the year 2011-12 from 35 key

wells as per the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment & Forest and taking specific

yield values of 10% for alluvium and 1.5% for crystalline metamorphic.

1. Recharge due to rainfall (Rrb)

(A) Groundwater table fluctuation method:

Ground water recharge from rainfall for the year 2011, which was above average

rainfall for the area, has been calculated by measuring the rise of water level in key

wells of the 343.06964sq.km area of the buffer zone.

The rise of water level indicates the quantity of water percolated to zone of

saturation due to recharge from rainfall. The rise has been varying from 0.5m to

0.65m in alluvium and 0.8 to 2.6m in gneisses and schist. Such a high value of rise in

water level in crystalline metamorphic is due to low fracture porosity of rocks. The

average rise has been found to be 0.55m in alluvium and 1.6m in metamorphic rocks.

Specific yield value of 10% for alluvium and 1.5% for metamorphic will be taken. Out of

total area of buffer zone about 107.6134sq km falls under crop, open land (alluvium).

Recharge due to rainfall in the buffer zone is computed by specific yield water table

fluctuation method as below:

Rr1 = A × S.F ×Sy

For Alluvium = 107.6134 x 0.55 x 0.1

= 5.92mcm/annum

For metamorphic = 235.46 x 1.6 x 0.015

= 5.65 mcm/annum.

RrmL ≈ 0.034 mcm/annum

M/s. Gulf Ispat Ltd. 218 JM EnviroNet (P) Ltd

Rr1 = 5.92 + 5.65

= 11.57 mcm/annum…………………..(I)

(B) Rainfall infiltration factor method:

The ground water recharge can also roughly estimated by rainfall infiltration

method. The ground water estimation committee, Govt. of India (1997) has

suggested norms of recharge from rainfall under various hydro geological

conditions. The committee has suggested 3 to 10% as the rainfall infiltration factor

for hard rock areas having weathered and fractured granitic gneiss and 10 to 15% for

alluvial areas having sandy soils. At an average level infiltration factor for the area

can be taken as 8%.

Rr2 = area x mean annual rainfall x R.I. factor

= 343.06964 x 1.3 x 0.08

= 35.68mcm/annum……………………… (II)

Ground water recharge calculated by fluctuation method matches well with the rainfall

infiltration method.

2. Recharge due to Applied Irrigation (RIB)

Ground water recharge from the return flow of irrigation water in sandy area is

normally taken as 30% of the total water applied for irrigation as suggested by the

committee. Ground water recharge from above factor is as under.

Alluvium area =3.02 x 0.3=0.91 mcm/annum

and

Metamorphic area =2.71 x 0.3=0.81 mcm/annum

RIB = 0.91+0.81= 1.72mcm/annum......(A)

3. Recharge due to Surface water bodies (SIB)

As per the land use pattern of the buffer zone total area under surface water bodies

work out to be 6.6768Sq.km. As per the GWEC ground water recharge through

surface water bodies can be taken as 40% of the total spread area. Hence Ground

water recharge from the above factors is as under:

= 35.68 +1.72+ 2.67

= 40.07 mcm/annum

7.3.9.6 Ground Water draft of the BufferZone

1. Draft due to applied irrigation (DIB)

The ground water draft in the buffer zone takes place mainly by dug well used for

irrigation. There are about 210 dug wells tapping alluvium and 625wells in

metamorphic in buffer zone. These wells are being operated by the cultivators for

irrigation and are operated by diesel engines of 8/5 H.P. for 2 to 4 hours a day

depending on the capacity of well to sustain the pumping. Out of 625 wells of

metamorphic about 565 are being operated by pumps and rest without pump. As

stated earlier discharge of wells in alluvium area is about 120cum/day. Wells of

metamorphic have relative less discharge about 40cum/day for pump-operated wells

and about 20 cum/day for without pump operated wells. The annual draft has been

calculated after considering that these structures will operate only for 120 days in a

year. The annual ground water withdrawal from these wells is as under:

210 x 120 x 120 = 3.02 mcm/annum

565 x 40 x 120 = 2.71 mcm/annum

60 x 20 x 120 = 1.4 mcm/annum

DiB = 3.02 + 2.71 + 1.4

= 7.13 mcm/annum

2. Draft due to domestic use (DIB)

Study area (buffer zone) is the area within 10 km radius of the project site. It

covers 44 v illages of Tehsil- Sihora, District Jabalpur. The total population of the

study area is 77397 (As per the Census of INDIA 2011). Considering 100 litres (0.1 m3)

as domestic consumption in rural and semi urban area (as per GERC Report 1997), the

total water withdrawal for domestic use will be:

DdB = 77397 x 0.1 x 365

= 2.82 mcm/annum

Cattle consumption is assumed to be 10% of the projected domestic consumption; it

comes out to be 0.28 mcm/annum.

7.3.9.7 Total draft of the BufferZone

DTB = DiB+ DdB+ DinB + DcB

=7.13+2.82+0.28

= 10.23 mcm/annum

7.3.9.8 Surplus Dynamic Reserves of the BufferZone

Surplus ground water reserves are those reserves, which are available for utilization

and are expected to recharge every year. These reserves calculations are based on

the rainfall of 2013. Therefore, surplus reserves (Rw) are computed as follows:

RWB = Total Dynamic Reserves - Total ground water draft

RWB = RTB - DTB

RWB = 40.07 – 10.23

RWB= 29.84mcm/annum

At the study year rainfall, total ground water recharge is 40.07 mcm/annum. Total

ground water pumpage is 10.23 mcm, indicating that present stage of ground water

development is approximately 25% of the long term ground water recharge.

7.3.10 Aquifer Performance Test

Ground water is a replenish able resource, the quantification of which is of great

importance for drawing up plans for utilization and forms an important aspect in

judging the potentiality of an area in the line of total water requirement. A judicious

exploitation of ground water resources cannot be planned without the basic

knowledge of ground water hydraulics which is used in evaluating aquifer parameters

for predicating total water resources.

Hydraulic parameters of aquifer system are determined by conducting aquifer

performance test at optimum extraction rate on representative tube wells.

Observation during aquifer performance test includes measurement of water levels

and discharge rate. Water levels were measured with the help of water level indicator

and the yield was measured with the help of water meter installed at the outlet

delivery pipe. The effect of pumping was measured in both pumping well at standard

interval for 300min. data collected during the test were subject to analysis by Jacob’s

method to calculate hydraulic parameters of aquifer.

7.3.10.1 Step draw down test

A step draw down test is one in which the discharge rate is changed in controlled

stages. The discharge rate is maintained at a constant value within the stage. The test

is generally carried out in three steps. Drawdown measurements are taken

throughout the test with each step and maximum drawdown of the well is recorded.

The data obtained from the test are utilized in working out long duration pumping

rate based on the characteristics determined as a result of test. The pumping well

was subjected to step drawdown test in 2 stages of 200 min. each with the help of

7.3.10.3 Hydraulic Parameters

1. Transmissivity

Transmissivity of the aquifer is determined based on Jacob’s straight line method,

which present good empirical technique to arrive at most useful hydraulic parameter

for the aquifer using second segment of time residual drawdown curve spread over

one log cycle.

T = 2.3 Q/ 4πΔs

Where,

T = Transmissivity of aquifer in m2/day

Q= optimum yield at which test was carried out = 250 m3/day

S= residual drawdown intercept for one log cycle = 5.9m

= (2.3 x 250)/ (4 x3.14 x 5.9)

= 7.7 m2/day

2. Hydraulic Conductivity

This parameter is defined as rate of flow of water through one meter thickness of

aquifer from unit cross sectional area. It is determined by the formula:

K = T/b

Where,

T= Transmissivity of the aquifer = 7.7 m2/day

b= saturated thickness of the tested well = 8m (As per drilling)

K = 7.7/8

= 0.96 m/day

K = 0.96 m/day

7.3.11 Artificial Ground Water Recharge

7.3.11.1 Need for Articial Ground Water Recharge

To minimize the effect on ground water status, it is necessary that ground water

storage of the area must be augmented by rainwater harvesting so that the existence

of industry does not adversely affect the ultimate ground water status.

7.3.11.2 Nature of Problem

Rainfall is only source of water in the area; rainfall and evapotranspiration are two

major factors controlling the quantum of rainwater available for recharge. This area

receives about 85% of the total rainfall from south-west monsoon. The south west

monsoon extends from the middle of June to end of September. The district receives

50% of the rainfall during July and August month of the year. Thus, not only the total

rainfall but also its availability is confined to some percentage during which entire

water resources planning has to be done.

The other important factors controlling the natural recharge to ground water are

rainfall intensity, hydrogeology & depth of water level. It is observed that majority of

rainfall occurs in 3-5 major storms lasting only a few hours. Natural recharge to

ground water is further restricted due to impervious hard strata. Some of water,

which infiltrates during rainy period, is entrapped in the soil due to siltation resulting

slow percolation rate for recharging the ground water level. This water is ultimately

lost due to potential evapo-transpiration. Thus, any artificial recharge by indirect

techniques should be such that most of the water stored on surface is put to ground

water within the shortest possible time to avoid losses.

As indicated earlier, hydro-geologically the area is composed of sandy, clay and for

artificial ground water recharge; open wells will be most feasible recharge

techniques. This will help in augmenting the groundwater storage around the tube

wells and open wells so that they can sustain in long term.

7.3.11.3 Methods of rainwater harvesting system

Following methods shall carry out for the rainwater harvesting:

1. Indirect rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater runoff available from the rooftop, paved and open land shall be used for

direct recharge to groundwater aquifer by constructing Recharge wells with desilting

and filter pits.

2. Direct rainwater Harvesting

Available Rainwater runoff shall be used for industrial purpose.

(A) Rooftop rainwater runoff: -

The industrial roofs are of RCC finished with cement sand mortar. Most of the water

can be collected with roof drains hence 85% rainwater can be available. About 15% of

water is lost in evaporation etc. The water is collected through rainwater drains from

rooftop. The roof should be finished to avoid percolation and should be cleaned every

year before rains. The roof top rainwater & surface runoff rainwater shall be collected

through existing rainwater drains

(B)Surface Runoff of Rainwater

The subsurface reservoirs are technically feasible alternative for storing surplus

monsoon runoff. Wide spectrums of techniques are in vogue to recharge ground

water reservoir. The artificial recharge techniques vary widely depending upon hydro

geological studies of the area. The detailed hydro geological studies were carried out

and it was found that water table of area is approximately 5.1-8.4m during study

period.

The maximum rate at which water can enter the soil at particular point depends upon

infiltration capacity. The infiltration capacity depends upon soil type, moisture

content, organic matter, vegetative cover, season, air entrapment, etc. The

infiltration and percolation capacity are closely related. The infiltration takes place

due to gravity but capillary forces divert gravity water.

The infiltration capacity of land formation is not suitable for surface percolation

system hence for recharge of ground water reservoir through injection well system is

proposed. This system will improve both quality & quantity of water.

Runoff coefficient for gently sloping open land area of Jaitarancan is taken as 15%.

Similarly for cemented area it has been taken as 70% and for Rooftop area it can be

taken as 85%.

Average runoff coefficient taken for the area is as under:

1. Average runoff coefficient for rooftop = 85%

2. Average runoff coefficient for Paved area = 70%

3. Average runoff coefficient for open land = 15%

7.3.11.4 Roof rainwater Runoff

The Industry has setup a cement plant and residential area for the staff. This area has

different buildings with RCC and V-shaped roof. To collect water from flat RCC roof,

drain pipes has been proposed. These drain pipes are proposed to connect to main

rainwater collection pipes, provided with collection chambers. In case of V-shaped

roof, rainwater is collected through gutters attached at the end of the roof and these

gutters are connected to rainwater pipes.

Average Rooftop Rainwater Runoff Available:

= A x Rf x Av Rc

Where,

A = Roof top area = 78000 Sq. m

Rf = Rainfall = 1.3mm (average)

Av Rc = Average runoff coefficient = 85%

Average rainwater runoff available

= 78000 x 1.3 x 0.85

7.3.11.5 Open land/Green Belt Area

The total plant area is 127960Sq. m open land is road and cemented area. Taking 15%

as runoff coefficient; the availability of water has been worked out as under:

Average Rainwater Runoff Available from open area:

= A x Rf x Av Rc

Where,

A = Open area = 127960Sq. m

Rf = Rainfall = 1.3 mm (average)

Av Rc = Average runoff coefficient = 15%

Average rainwater runoff available

= 127960 x 1.3 x 0.15

= 24952.2Cum. ----------------- (II)

7.3.11.6 Self Percolation

The Plant is using about 1500 KLD of water; out of which 150 KLD of water is utilized

for the green belt development / plantation. It is known that in normal condition,

about 30% of this water adds to the ground water through self-percolation. Hence,

ground water recharge through self-percolation is as under:

Average water available through self-percolation

= 150 x 0.3 x 300

7.3.12 Precautions

� While carrying out roof top rainwater harvesting & surface runoff utilization works,

following precautions must be taken so that maximum benefits are derived.

� The roof tops of the buildings to be used for collecting rainwater must be cleaned

before the onset of first rainfall so that any dust, leaves, pollutants do not enter the

filtration tank. Grating must be used to trap debris or tree leaves before rainwater

enters the drainpipes.

� A steel wire mesh may be enveloped around the slotted pipe of injection well to

minimize the clogging of slots.

� The filter material must be washed with water before putting in the filtration tank as

these may be covered with silt or clay. Every year, before the onset of first monsoon,

the filter material must be taken out and washed and then put back in the filtration

tank and other recharge structures so that silt/clay deposited during the filtration

process of preceding year is removed and original filtration rate is achieved.

company is committed to conduct business with strong environmental conscience

towards community, customer & employees. The Corporate Environmental Policy is

enclosed as Annexure II of the draft EIA/EMP Report.

10.2 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The major pollutants of air from the Proposed Plant will be the Particular matter, SO2 &

NO2 from the stacks and fugitive emissions due to material handling.

10.2.1 Gaseous & Particulate Emissions

There will be generation of Gaseous emissions due to burning of fuel in Pelletization

plant, producer gas plant & due to moving of vehicles for the transportation of Raw

material & to or fro of employees.

Particulate Emissions will be generated from both Pelletization & Beneficiation plant.

In Pelletization Plant, particulate emissions will mainly be generated from kiln, screening

& handling activities whereas in Beneficiation plant PM emissions will mainly be

At the discharge point, dust is emitted due to free fall of product and wind carry

over. To control the dust emission from dropping/transfer points covered belt

conveyors will be provided for raw material transfer to avoid the dust emission.

2) Storage of raw materials

Dust will be generated here due to carryover by wind. However to avoid this,

material will be kept under covered shed. Proper water sprinkling will be done for

dust suppression in open yards & haul roads.

3) Transportation

Movement of heavy trucks/vehicles on the un-metalled road generates substantial

quantity of dust emission. This is due to the presence of dust over the road, which

is carried away by wind. To control the generation of dust, all the roads inside the

premises will be concreted. Regular sweeping of all the roads and floors will be

done by vacuum sweeper & it will be continued in doing so. Water spray through

tankers will be done on bare lands and haul roads. Green belt development along

the road side will trap and minimize the fugitive emission generate from the unit

operation.

4) Material Transfer Points:

Dust generates from all transfer points of conveyors. This will be controlled by

providing bag filters at all transfer points.

be purchased from the local Forest Department and plantation preparations will be

taken up before every monsoon. Suitable people having track record in such a field

are entrusted with the nursery job and plantation after care as well.

2) Trees growing to a height of 5m or more would be planted.

3) Plantation of trees should be undertaken in around the area in alternating rows to

prevent horizontal pollution dispersion.

4) Trees would be planted along roadsides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise pollution,

and in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the installation when

viewed from a point outside the foliage perimeter.

5) Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (upto 3 m), it should be appropriate

to have shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to this portion.

6) Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage would be grown, as it will take many

years for trees to grow to their full height.

In order to facilitate proper growth of vegetation, proper measures involving preparation

of seedbed with suitable amount of fertilizers and treatment with mulches will be taken.

Vegetation covers in and around the plant workings generally helps in:

� Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.

� Control of dust.

� Enhancement of aesthetic value.

� Maximizing evapo -transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.

� Reducing noise.

Characters of plants considered necessary for effecting absorption of pollutants gases &

removal of dust particles are as follows:

For absorption of gases:

1. Tolerance towards pollutants.

2. Longer duration of foliage

3. Freely exposed foliage, through

Plantation to Reduce Noise Pollution

Trees having thick and fleshy leaves with petioles flexible and capacity to withstand

vibration are suitable. Heavier branches and trunk of the trees also deflect or refract the

sound waves. The density, height and width are critical factors in designing an adequate

noise screen plantation. Combination of trees and shrubs together with suitable

landforms and design appears to be the best system for combating noise pollution. In

10.11 VEHICULAR POLLUTION CONTROL

Vehicle emissions are responsible for 70% of the country’s air pollution. Various laws in

this regard have been laid out by the government. Air pollution from vehicle exhaust and

industry is a worsening problem for India. Exhaust from vehicles has increased eight-fold

over levels of twenty years ago; industrial pollution has risen four times over the same

period. The economy has grown two and a half times over the past two decades but

pollution control.

GIL will take care of all the measures to take up the vehicular pollution control in addition

to the pollution from the plant processes. All the vehicles shall be kept environmentally

compliant. The details are as below:

Vehicular pollution control measures:

1. Inspection and maintainance (I&M) programme for vehicles: The first and most

important step towards emission control for the large in-use fleet of vehicles is the

formulation of an inspection and maintenance system. It is possible to reduce 30-

40% pollution loads generated by vehicles through proper periodical inspections

and maintenance of vehicles. It should include testing of various elements of

safety, road worthiness and compliance to pollution norms. Renewal of permits

and registration.
