To develop mitigation measures so as to minimize pollution,environmental disturbance and nuisance during construction andfunctionalphases;and

1.5METHODOLOGYOFTHESTUDY

Reconnaissance survey was carried out to understand nature of theproposed project, conduct visual site inspection, decide the samplinglocationsandprogramme.Samplinglocationswereidentifiedonthebasisoffollowingcriteria:

Predominantwinddirectioninthestudyarea;

Existingtopography;

Locationofsensitiveareas;

Accessibility,availabilityofpower;and

Areathatrepresentsbaselineconditions.

Samples were collected at various locations identified in thereconnaissance survey to establish thebaselineenvironmentalqualityatthe project site. The impacts of proposed development are predictedduring different phases of project viz. construction, operations andemergencies. The predicted impacts are analyzed and appropriateEnvironment Management Plans (EMPs) are defined to mitigate theadverseenvironmentalimpacts.

Sampleswerecollected foraperiodof threemonths i.e. fromDectoFeb2016.ParticularsrelatedtoSurveyareoutlinedinTable1.1.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Baseline environmental status forms the basis for evaluation of the proposeddevelopment on the existing conditions. This can be broadly grouped intophysical, social, aesthetic and economic environment. Physical environmentincludes air, water, land, aquatic and terrestrial flora & fauna, civicinfrastructure, public services, etc. Social environment includes demography,community facilities and services, community characteristics, employmentcentres, commercial facilities servicing the area, etc. Economic environmentcovers employment levels, sources and levels of income, economic base of thearea,landvalues,landownershipetc.

3.3 AIRENVIRONMENT

3.3.1Meteorology

Meteorology (weatherandclimate) is thekey tounderstanding theairquality.The essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersioninvolves thewind in the broadest sense of the term.Wind fluctuations over avery wide range of time accomplish dispersion and strongly influence otherprocessesassociatedwiththem.

Secondary data also plays an important role in identifying the generalmeteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared withsecondarydatainordertoidentifychangeswhichmayhavetakenplaceduetovariousdevelopments in the area.Bothprimary and secondarymeteorologicaldatawerecollected.

3.4 NOISEENVIRONMENT

Noise in general is a sound composed of frequency components of variousloudnessdistributedovertheaudiblefrequencyrange.Thefactorsonwhichthesound is described as noise depends upon its degree of loudness, period ofexposureandtimeofdayandlocationatwhichitoccurs.

The noise levels measurements were carried out by measured (A‐weighted)usingprecisionnoiselevelmeter.Thenoiselevelsurveywascarriedatalltheairmonitoringstationslocatedwithinthe5kmradiusoftheproposedprojectsite.Themajor source identified in the study area is of vehicular trafficmovementandtheconstructionactivities.

However, only description of plants andanimals isnot justsufficient for theEIA,but it is importanttoknowhowthesecomponents will be affected adversively or positively due to the proposedactivities.

Vehiclescarryingconstructionmaterialareexpectedtoresult inincreasedSPMlevels. This can be of potential importance if the vehicles pass through theresidentialareas.At the constructionyard, thedust levels arealsoexpected toincreaseduetounloadingofconstructionmaterials.


Construction Phase: Increase in ambient noise levels is expected duringconstruction phase. The operation of construction / material handlingmachinery. Construction vehicles employed for transporting variousconstruction materials will also lead to increase in ambient noise levels.However thiswill be short term impacts andwill be restricted to constructionphaseonly.

Themagnitudeof impact fromnoisewilldependupontypeofequipmenttobeused, constructionmethod and also onwork scheduling.Thequantityof thewastebeingverysmall,thehoursofoperationsisnotexpectedtobemorethan one shift.

CHAPTER9ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENTPLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION

Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest themitigationmeasureswhichplayavitalroleinpreventionofenvironmentalpollutionduringconstruction and implementation phase of proposed project. This leads topreparation of environmental management plan. Environmental managementplanthereforeformsanimperativepartofRapidEIAprocess.

TheEnvironmentalManagementPlan (EMP) is a site specificplandeveloped toensurethat theproject is implemented inanenvironmentalsustainablemannerwhere all contractors and subcontractors to understand the potentialenvironmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriateactions. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out inaccordancewiththedesignandbytakingappropriatemitigativeactionstoreduceadverseenvironmentalimpactsduringitslifecycle.

The potential environmental impacts, which need to regulate are mentionedbelow:

AirpollutionduetotheemissionofParticulateMatterandgaseouspollutants;

Noisepollutionduetovariousnoisegeneratingequipmentaswellasvehicularmovement;

Wastewater generation from sanitary/domestic activities; and Solid wastedisposal.

9.2 AIRENVIRONMENT


Themajorsourcesofairpollutionduringtheconstructionperiodwillbefromthemovement of vehicles for construction activity, the emissions are from thestationary sources like generator sets during emergency service only, andexcavation for foundation. Dust suppression by spraying of water will reducetheseimpactsconsiderably.

To mitigate the impact of SPM/dust during the construction phase of theproposedproject,thefollowingmeasuresarerecommended:

9.5.1 ConstructionPhase Waste generated from construction activity includes construction

debris, biomass from land clearing activities, waste from the labourcamp, etc. Following section discusses management for each type ofwaste.Besidesmanagementof topsoil is an importantarea forwhichmanagementmeasuresarerequired.

ConstructionDebris:

Constructiondebrisisbulkyandheavyandre‐utilizationandrecyclingis an important strategy formanagement of suchwaste. As concreteandmasonry constitute themajority ofwaste generated, recycling ofthis waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reducedlandfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for newconstruction activity. This is applicable to proposed site since theconstructionistobecompletedinaphasedmanner.

Recycledaggregatewillbeusedforfillerapplication,andasasub‐baseforroadconstruction.Mixeddebriswithhighgypsum,plaster,shallnot

Construction contractors shall remove metal scrap from structuralsteel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work from thesite. A significant portion of wood scrap can be reused on site.Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc.shallbesoldtorecyclers.
