8.2 Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution, noise& public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Construction Stage :Air quality around the project site will be marginally impacted during construction stage.Various construction activities especially related to handling of loose material are likely togenerate fugitive dust that will affect the air quality of the surrounding area of the project site.To minimize such impacts following measures has been proposed: Ready Mix concrete will be used. All construction material will be covered by tarpaulin during transportation and will be kept at

covered storage yard. Water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression.To minimize the occupational health hazard, proper personal protective gears i.e. mask will beprovided to the workers who are engaged in dust generation activity

Mitigation Measures for Noise Pollutionduring Construction Stage :During construction stage, expected noise levels will be in the range of (80-85dBA), which willdecrease with increase in distance. Administrative as well as engineering control of noise will beimplemented. Isolation of noise generation sources and temporal differentiation of noisegenerating activities will ensure minimum noise at receiver’s end.All the construction activities will be carried out during the daytime. To prevent anyoccupational health hazard, ear-muff / ear plug will be given to the workers working around oroperating plant and machinery emitting high noise levels. Use of such plant or machinery will bestrictly prohibited during night. Careful planning of machinery operation and scheduling ofoperations will be done to minimise such impact.

8.3 Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savingsachieved?The possibility of using recycled material such as fly ash has been proposed in construction ofthis project. If the recyclable material is readily available and if it is economically feasible it willbe used for the construction of roads and structures. Waste from construction like excavatedearth, iron rods etc. shall be handed over to the authorized vendor for recycling.

8.4 Give details of the methods of collection, segregation & disposal of the garbagegenerated during the operation phases of the project.The details of solid wastes collection recycle and disposal is given in the Table below.

Solid Wastes Collection, Recycle & Disposal

Nature and quantity Organic waste: Waste vegetables and foodsInorganic waste: Papers, cartons, thermocol, plastics, polythene bags,glass etc.

Collection anddisposal

The solid wastes generated will be segregated into organic and inorganiccomponents and collected in separate bins. The organic biodegradablewastes (waste vegetables, foods etc.) will be transferred into a designatedsolid waste collection point for disposal by municipal authority.

Recycling The inorganic wastes comprising recyclable materials, such as paper,plastic, glass etc., will be sold to prospective buyers.
