1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities

adjacent to the proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities details of the

existing land-use, disturbance to the local ecology).

The proposed site is a vacant land with scanty vegetation. No negative impact is anticipatedof the activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the site such as open spaces & communityfacilities. The project activities will be confined in the site only. The project will not have anyadverse impact on the surrounding environment. The existing landuse of the area is IT/ITESand projects 100% conforms to the existing landuse. There will be no major disturbance tolocal ecology as no tree felling is involved rather; the project has a proposal of green areadevelopment, which will increase the aesthetic value of the area. Total Green areadevelopment will be done on the 22500 sq. m. Plantation will be done on both sides of roadsalong the periphery of the plot area.1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence &

instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity

etc may be given).

The proposed activity will not affect any significant land disturbance resulting in soil erosion,subsidence and instability. The area is not susceptible to erosion. The excavated earthmaterial will be utilized at the site for leveling, and backfilling. Top soil will be carefullystock piled and covered with tarpaulins. The same shall be used for green area development.There are no buildings or structures at the site, so no demolition work will be required.Land/soil environment may be affected due to activities like site preparation, excavation,material handling & storage etc. during construction phase. Proper drainage system shall beprovided to deal with the storm water in case of rain.Soil type: A quantitative assessment of the particle in size distribution the soil was made bywet sieve analysis and sedimentation analysis using hydrometer, as per procedures laiddown is IS: 2720 Part IV. The particle sizes were designated according to the scale given in IS:1498 and the soil type in the area is found to be loam. The project site is located in highseismic risk (Zone IV) by national standards.

details on a contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project

site)

As per contour plan the area can be categorized as a plain land as it is having relativerelief of less than 5 meter. The project is not likely to alter or obstruct any naturaldrainage courses.There is no natural watercourse passing through the project site. Hence, the projectdoes not involve alteration of natural drainage systems. As a result of excavation oftopsoil during construction phase, the impact on drainage pattern, and run offcharacteristics will be restricted to the project area. Proper rain water drainage facilitywill be provided and the run-off generated will be storing in underground water tank &reusing.

1.6. What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-

cutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork

involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc?)

The total excavated earth quantity is estimated to be approximately 1,42,000 cubic

meters. Excavation will be carried out for foundation & basement work. The totalexcavated earth material will be reused for the purpose of back-filling & leveling of lowlying areas and developing landscape. There will be no transport of earth materialoutside the project site.1.7. Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc during the

construction period.

The water requirement during the construction phase comprises mainly of two parts i.e.fresh water for labourers and treated water for building constructions. It is estimatedapprox. 3.75 KLD of fresh water will be required for drinking purpose which will be






30

imported in form of bottled cans from the local fresh water supplier during the days ofconstruction. It is envisaged that approx. 183 KL of treated water will be required forthe building constructions. The treated water requirement will be met by the treatedwater from nearby CSTP which will be brought by the private water tank.The solid waste generated during the construction phase mainly comprises of concretewashout cement residue, litters, packaging waste, masonry blocks, scraps etc. Thegenerated waste will be recycled and re-used to raise the level of the site.Conclusively, it can be stated that impacts may be confined to small area (mainly toproject site) and for short duration. Proposed mitigation plan suggests maximum re-useof construction waste on site, removal of non-reusable waste from the site and its

proper disposal, which would reduce the impact significantly.1.8 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low

lying and wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity).

There are no low-lying areas present at the project site. However river Yamuna flowsabout 1.5 Km from project site but the project site is protected by 5 meter highembankment, so, there will be no impact.1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health

hazard? (Give quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction

including the construction labour and the means of disposal).

During the construction phase, there is no such waste generated, which can cause healthhazard. The surplus earth and the fertile topsoil will be used for developing landscape.Construction debris will be collected and stored at earmarked place for reuseimmediately from the construction site and no accumulation shall be allowed.Labour hutments with basic amenities (Mobile toilets, waste bins, electricity, cookingand bathing facility, primary treatment etc) will be provided during construction.

4. Fauna

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

or creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details.

Cat, Dog, Cow, Rat, Mouse, Aves, Crow, Sparrow, Baya, Parrot, Pigeon etc. are found on& near the site. No displacement of fauna is envisaged due to proposed IT/ITESProject. The project site is free of nesting, roasting foraging habitat of wild animalsfurther there is no proposal of creation of any barrier for terrestrial or aquatic fauna,hence it can be inferred that the proposed IT/ITES project is not going to disturb themovement of fauna.4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.No direct impact on avifauna is envisaged. However, after the commissioning of theproject the better environmental conditions may provide a better habitat to theavifauna of the area. There may be some indirect impact to avian fauna; however thatwill be minimized by adopting proper waste management, controlling noise pollutionand bird friendly lightening.4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc. to mitigate adverse

impacts on fauna.

No direct or indirect impact on fauna is envisaged hence no mitigation measures areprescribed.

5. AIR ENVIRONMENT

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

heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted

values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic

generation as a result of the proposed constructions).

The baseline study of the ambient air quality will be carried out after the TORapproval by SEIAA.However the nature of proposed IT/ITES project and activities; will not increase theatmospheric concentration of gases to such an extent that it may lead to the formation






43

of heat islands. There will be only two emission sources i.e. through D.G sets only incase of power failure and vehicular movement.There will be the provision of acoustic enclosures & adequate stack height will bemaintained as per the CPCB guidelines to minimize the impact due to DG sets.The marginal increase in traffic due to project is not going to cause anysignificant increase in atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result inheat island formation. The nearness of surface water (Yamuna River) will have itsamelioration impact thereby reducing the probabilities of heat island formation.5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other

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

There will be burning of fuel through D.G. sets, traffic movements, operation ofconstruction machines / equipment and domestic activities at site.Construction activities lead to dust generation, emission of NO2, SO2 and PM. Theimpacts on the ambient air quality during construction phase is temporary andreversible in nature (for short duration) and will be restricted to only a small area.During operation phase, D.G. set will be having adequate stack height, there will bedevelopment of green-area and maintenance of vehicles, all these efforts will reducethe impact.5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish

details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed

for improvement including the traffic management at the entry & exit to the

project site.

Theproject has roads running on the periphery at all sides that will facilitate the movementof traffic. Internal roads, footpaths, ramps with suitable width have also been provided.Adequate lighting arrangement has been provided covering all corners.5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details

of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.

There will be a marginal increase in the traffic noise; the sources are due to trafficmovement within the project area. The horns will be prohibited inside the project site.The traffic movement will be only in daytime during the construction phase. Inoperational phase only visitor’s vehicles will come inside the project boundary. Thepollution will be in very small quantity and it will be further minimized by plantation onthe sides and around the periphery of whole project.






45

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

vibration in & ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.DG Sets will be used for back-up. So, D.G. set will be the main source of air and noisepollution. Gaseous pollutants like NO2, SO2 and PM shall be generated from activitieslike burning of fuel through D.G. sets. HSD diesel will be used with low sulphur.During operation, vehicular movement and operation of D.G. sets are the major sourcesof noise pollution. But both these activities – D.G. sets and vehicular movement will nothave any significant impact on the area. Since D.G. sets will not be operationalcontinuously and moreover it will be placed enclosed with suitable enclosures, hence noor minimal impact will be anticipated. It is envisaged that the movement of the motorvehicles will be restricted to designated roads only.Impacts on Air Quality

Impacts on ambient air quality during operation due to emissions from the stacksattached to standby D.G. sets would be very less. However suitable mitigation measureswill be adopted.Mitigation Measures for Impacts of DG Sets on Ambient Air Quality:

D.G. sets will be used only during power failure D.G. sets will comply with the applicable as per emission norms. Adequate stack height for D.G. sets will be provided as per C.P.C.B. norms. During operation stage, monitoring of emissions from D.G. sets and ambient airquality will be carried out as per norms.

9.8. What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro-

climates? Provide a self- assessment on the likely impacts of the proposed

construction on creation of heat island & inversion effects?

The building will use energy efficient and environmental friendly designs that willcontrol formulation of heat island effect. There will be also green cover at the site toreduce formation of heat island. Passive design concepts have been used to minimizeenergy consumption and maximize the energy efficiency. Heat emission from the project and associated operations can be from the followingsources:

Heat absorbed and radiated from the paved and concrete structures, heat generatedfrom equipments/appliances and due to increased population for a particular stretch ofland. However, the heat generated will not be significant and will be dissipated with thelush green provided within the project. Hence, it can be concluded that the heat islandeffect shall not be a concern for the project and will have an overall positive effect onthe microclimate of the area. Due to the project there would be emission of air pollutants by vehicular movementsand occasional use of D.G/ sets. However, no heat island effect is envisaged. To reduce the heat load reflective insulated glass shall be used in fenestrations to cuton heat loads and subsequently capital & operating cost of air conditioning. Overall all glazing will be maintained.9.9 What are the thermal characteristics of the building envelope? (a) roof; (b)

10. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Introduction

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensurethat the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where allcontractors and subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potentialenvironmental risks arising from the project and take appropriate actions to properlymanage that risk. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out inaccordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigation actions to reduce adverseenvironmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines existing and potentialproblems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends correctivemeasures where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the keypersonnel and contractors who will be in-charge of the responsibilities to manage theproject site. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) would consist of all mitigationmeasures for each component of the environment due to the activities increased duringthe construction, operation and the entire life cycle to minimize adverse environmentalimpacts resulting from the activities of the project. It would also delineate theenvironmental monitoring plan for compliance of various environmental regulations. It






57

will state the steps to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents at the sitesincluding fire.Objectives

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to mitigate the adverseenvironmental impacts during construction and operation phase of the project andthese are discussed as follows.EMP for Air

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impacts of PM10 & PM2.5during the construction phase of the project, thefollowing measures are recommended for implementation:

The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water because water is easilyavailable on construction site and it can be applied using water trucks, handledsprayers and automatic sprinkler systems.

Incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in transport, especiallyif material is transported off-site.

The whole site is covered with GI sheets in order to contain the dust withinproject site.

Construction equipment is commonly left idle while the operators are on breakor waiting for the completion of another task. Emission from idle equipmenttends to be high, since catalytic converters cools down, thus reducing theefficiency of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide oxidation. Existing idle controltechnologies comprises of power saving mode, which automatically off theengine at preset time and reduces emissions, without intervention from theoperators.

Significant emission reductions can be achieved through regular equipmentmaintenance. Contractors will be asked to provide maintenance records for their






62

fleet as part of the contract bid, and at regular intervals throughout the life of thecontract. Incentive provisions will be established to encourage contractors tocomply with regular maintenance requirements.

Rapid on-site construction would reduce the duration of traffic interference andtherefore, will reduce emissions from traffic delay.

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impacts of pollutants from DG set and vehicular traffic during theoperational phase of Proposed IT/ITES Project, following measures are recommendedfor implementation:

Adequate stack height will be maintained to disperse the air pollutantsgenerated from the operation of DG set to dilute the pollutants concentrationwithin the immediate vicinity. Hence no additional emission control measureshave been suggested.

During construction, vehicles will be properly maintained to reduce emission. Asit is an commercial, institutional, residential project, vehicles will be generallyhaving “PUC” certificate.

Adequate footpaths and pedestrian ways would be provided at the site toencourage non-polluting methods of transportation.

Increased vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred methods tomitigate air and noise pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants, act as abarrier to break the wind speed as well as allow the dust and other particulatesto settle on the leaves. It also helps to reduce the noise level at large extent.

EMP FOR NOISE

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impacts of noise from construction equipment during the constructionphase on the site, the following measures are recommended for implementation.

Noisy construction equipment would not be allowed to use at night time. Workers employed in high noise areas will be employed on shift basis. Hearing

protection such as earplugs/muffs will be provided to those working very closeto the noise generating machinery.






63

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impacts of noise from diesel generator set during operational phase, thefollowing measures are recommended:

DG set will be housed in a suitable acoustic enclosure so that noise level at adistance of 1 m does not exceed 25 dB(A) as per CPCB standards or is meetingthe local standard (whichever is higher).

It would be ensured that the manufacturer provides acoustic enclosure as anintegral part along with the diesel generators set. Further, enclosure of theservices area with 4 m high wall will reduce noise levels and ensure that noise isat a permissible limit for residents and staff of the project and surroundingreceptors.

EMP FORWATER: Construction Phase

To prevent degradation and to maintain the quality of the water source, adequatecontrol measures needs to be adopted. The prime objective is to check the surface run-off as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body check dams with silt areas.The following management measures are suggested to protect the water source beingpolluted during the construction phase: Avoid excavation during monsoon season Care would be taken to avoid soil erosion Common toilets will be constructed on site during construction phase and the

waste water would be channelized to the septic tanks in order to prevent wastewater to enter into the water bodies

Any area with loose debris within the site shall be planted To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil and grease, leak-proof

containers would be used for storage and transportation of oil and grease. Thefloors of oil and grease handling area would be kept effectively impervious. Anywash off from the oil and grease handling area or workshop shall be drainedthrough imperious drains






64

All stacking and loading area will be provided with proper garland drains,equipped with baffles, to prevent run off from the site, to enter into any waterbody.

Operation Phase

In the operation phase of the project, water conservation and development measureswill be taken. Following measures will be adopted:

Minimizing water consumption. Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed loop

systems for different water streams.Water Conservation

The water conservation is the need of the hour and consumption of fresh water will beminimized by combination of water saving devices and other domestic waterconservation measures. Further, to ensure ongoing water conservation, an awarenessprogram will be introduced for the residents and staff. The following section discussesthe specific measures, which shall be implemented:Domestic and Commercial Usage

Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (low flow sinks, water efficientdishwashers and washing machines). Water efficient plumbing fixtures uses lesswater with no marked reduction in quality and service

Leak detection and repair techniques. Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down for external

areas.

Meter water usage: Implies measurement and verification methods. Monitoring of water uses is a precursor for management.Horticulture

Drip irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green area. Dripirrigation can save 15-40% of the water, compared with other wateringtechniques.

Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones tomatch precipitation heads and emitters.

Use of low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.






65

Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors toaccount for seasonal variations and calibrate them during commissioning.

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

Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested reuse by storing in aunderground water tank of suitable size. Thus proper management of water resource isa must to ensure that it is free from contamination.Contamination of Storm Water is possible from the following sources: Diesel and oil spills in the diesel power generator and fuel storage area Waste spills in the solid / hazardous waste storage area Oil spills and leaks in vehicle parking lots Silts from soil erosion in gardens Spillage of sludge from sludge drying area of sewage treatment plantStorm water management plan will incorporate best management practices which willinclude following: Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains Clarifiers or oil/separators will be installed in all the parking areas. Oil / greaseseparators installed around parking areas and garages will be sized according to peakflow guidelines. Both clarifiers and oil/water separators will be periodically pumped inorder to keep discharges within limits Covered waste storage areas Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season Secondary containment and dykes in fuel/oil storage facilities Conducting routine inspection to ensure cleanliness Provision of slit traps in storm water drainsEMP FORWASTE: Construction Phase

The waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris, biomassfrom land clearing activities, waste from the temporary make shift labour hutments andhazardous waste. Following section discuss the management of each type of waste.






66

Besides waste generation, management of the topsoil is an important area for whichmanagement measures are required.Construction Debris

Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an importantstrategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute themajority of waste generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offerbenefits of reduced landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for newconstruction activity. This is particularly applicable to the project site as theconstruction is to be completed in a phased manner.Metal scrap from structural steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal workshall be removed from the site by construction contractors. A significant portion ofwood scrap will be reused on site. Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiberinsulation, roofing etc shall be sold to recyclers.Hazardous waste

Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances such as paints, solvents woodpreservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated duringconstruction phase shall be stored in sealed containers and disposed off as per theHazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules,2016.

Some management practices to be developed are: Herbicides and pesticide will not be over applied (small-scale applications) and

not applied prior to rain. Paintbrushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be cleaned

within a contained area and will not be allowed to contaminate site soils, watercourses or drainage systems.

Provision of adequate hazardous waste storage facilities. Hazardous wastecollection containers will be located as per safety norms and designatedhazardous waste storage areas will be away from storm drains or watercourses.

Segregation of potentially hazardous waste from non-hazardous constructionsite debris.






67

Well labeled all hazardous waste containers with the waste being stored and thedate of generation.

Instruct employees and subcontractors in identification of hazardous and solidwaste.

Even with careful management, some of these substances are released into air,soil and water and many are hazardous to workers. With these reasons, the bestchoice is to avoid their use as much as possible by using low-toxicity substitutesand low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) materials.

Waste from Labour Hutments

Wastes generated from temporary make shift labor hutments will mainly comprise ofhousehold domestic waste, which will be managed by the contractor of the site. Thewastewater generated will be channelized to the septic tank.Top Soil Management

To minimize disruption of soil and for conservation of top soil, the contractor shall keepthe top soil cover separately and stockpile it. After the construction activity is over, topsoil will be utilized for landscaping activity. Other measures, which would be followedto prevent soil erosion and contamination include: Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development. To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers would beused for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/greasehandling area shall be drained through impervious drains and treated appropriatelybefore disposal. Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development and re-vegetation of bare areas after the project. Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction). Construction of erosion prevention troughs/berms.Operational Phase

The philosophy of solid waste management at the proposed IT/ITES Project will be toencouraging the four R’s of waste i.e. Reduction, Reuse, Recycling and Recovery

(materials & energy). Regular public awareness meetings will be conducted to involvethe residents /staff in the proper segregation and storage techniques. The






68

Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste focuses on three majorcomponents during the life cycle of the waste management system i.e., collection andtransportation, treatment or disposal and closure and post-closure care of

treatment/disposal facility.Collection and Transportation

Collection and Segregation of waste

1. A door to door collection system will be provided for collection of domestic waste incolored bins from household units.2. All household units shall segregate their wastes into dry, wet and hazardous wastes.Horticulture shall be handed over separately on call.3. The residents shall be made aware of E-waste and Biomedical wastes disposalsystems.

4. The residential society/ RWA shall tie up with an authorised Bio-medical wastecollection/ management center.5. The local vendors will be hired to provide separate colored bins for recyclables andBio-Degradable waste.6. For waste collection, adequate number of colored bins (Green and Blue & dark greybins– separate for Bio-degradable and Non Bio-degradable) are proposed to beprovided at the strategic locations of the area.7. Litter bin will also be provided in open areas.Treatment of waste

Bio-Degradable wastes1. Bio-degradable wastes will be composted and the compost will be used as manure.Organic Waste Composter will be installed for the purpose.2. STP sludge is proposed to be used for horticultural purposes as manure.3. Horticultural Waste is proposed to be composted and will be used for gardeningpurposes.

Recyclable wastesi. The cropped grass will be spread on the green area. It will act as manure afterdecomposition.

ii. Recyclable wastes like paper, plastic, metals, glass etc. will be sold off to recyclables.

Cutting, uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees if present in and around theproject site for cooking, burning or heating purposes by the labors will be prohibitedand suitable alternatives for this purpose will be made Along with the construction work, the peripheral green belt would be developedwith suggested native plant species, as they will grow to a full-fledged covered at thetime of completion.Operation Stage

Improvement of the current ecology of the project site will entail the followingmeasures:

Plantation and Landscaping Green Belt Development Avenue PlantationThe section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the aboveobjectives:

Plantation and landscaping

Selection of the plant species would be done on the basis of their adaptability to theexisting geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of theregion earlier found or currently observed. A total 800 nos. of trees will be plantedwithin project site.Green Belt Development Plan

The green belt will be developed as per the guidelines for developing green belt byCPCB, 2007. The plantation matrix adopted for the green belt development includes pitof 0.3 m × 0.3 m size with a spacing of 2 m x 2 m. In addition, earth filling and manuremay also be required for the proper nutritional balance and nourishment of the sapling.It is also recommended that the plantation has to be taken up randomly and thelandscaping aspects could be taken into consideration.Plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m) and shrubs (5 m height)are proposed for the green belt. In addition creepers will be planted along the boundarywall to enhance its insulation capacity.






71

Plant Species for Green Belt Development

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such asclimate, elevation and soil. The plants would exhibit the following desirablecharacteristics in order to be selected for plantation1. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability.2. The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted.3. The species should form a dense canopy.4. As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally available.5. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SO2 and NO2 should be preferred.6. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within

the belt.7. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.8. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the

surfaces.

9. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.10. Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing rapidly decomposable leaf litter).11. Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing.12. Bird and insect attracting tree species.13. Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance.Avenue Plantation

Gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not onlyimprove the quality of existing ecology at the project site but also will improvethe aesthetic value.

Avenue Plantation Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering. Trees with branching at 7 feet and above. Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic. Fruit trees to be avoided because children may obstruct traffic and general

movement of public.
