Background

The Port of New Mangalore (NMP), a gateway port for the vast hinterland of the State of

Karnataka, is the 9th Major Port and a lagoon type harbour located on the west coast of

India (12°55’N; 74°48’E). The port is located at 170 nautical miles South of Mormugao & 191

nautical miles North of Cochin Port.

Presently there are 15 operating berths and one Single point mooring. The Single point

mooring is used for handling Crude Oil for MRPL. Out of the 15 berths, 5 berths are used for

handling liquid bulk and 2 berths are captive fully mechanized berths of KIOCL and UPCL for

handling of iron ore Pellets and Thermal Coal respectively. Balance 7 cargo berths are used

for handling around 9.51 million tonnes of general cargoes including coal. The general

cargo segment consists of Coal, edible oil, limestone, timbers, fertilizers, containers (around

60,000 TEUs), project cargo, food grains, granite, RO-RO cargoes etc.

Since there was an increase in container cargo and the Port has obtained the

Environmental clearance for berth No.18 for handling of containers and other clean cargoes

and Berth No.16 and 17 for handling of bulk cargoes, break bulk cargoes including coal. The

Environmental and CRZ clearance has been issued for berth No.18 as container Terminal

and remaining berths 16 and 17 as Bulk and Break bulk Terminal and these berths are

proposed to be developed in phased manner vide letter No. 11-2/2010-IA.III dated

19.09.2011.

The Port has commenced the construction of civil works of berth No. 18 and it is

scheduled to be completed by March, 2016. After stoppage of handling of Coal at Chennai

Port, the coal cargo has increased at NMPT and handled coal of around 6.51 million tonnes

excluding coal of UPCL in the year ending March 2015. Due to commission of container

terminal at Vallarapadam and Container terminal at Cochin Port, the forecasted/anticipated

growth has not been achieved to construct a new Container terminal at Port.

Hence the Govt. has taken a decision to develop the berth No.18 as a fully mechanized

coal terminal to reduce pollution and improve the productivity that would reduce cost of

handling also. It is proposed to develop Berth No.18 with fully mechanized coal handling

berth.

The Port had requested MoEF to issue amendment to Environmental Clearance to develop Berth No. 17 as container terminal and Berth No. 16 & 18 as bulk and break


bulk terminals. Accordingly during 2nd EAC meeting held on 20th January 2016 the Port had presented the case, during the meeting the Hon’ble EAC directed to submit the following project specific information.

1. Submission of certified compliance report regarding the consents to operate,

consent to establish issued by the State Pollution Control Board and the earlier E.C. issued by the MoEF and CC.

2. Handling Capacity of Berth no 16, 17 and 18 after interchange of cargo handling. 3. Facilities to be provided in the proposed coal cargo at Berth no 18.

4. Identify the source of air pollution at proposed cargo berth no.18.

5. Details of Air pollution Control system to be provided at cargo berth no 18. 6. Details of water consumption and its source. Wastewater management scheme.7. Layout plan of Greenbelt to be created around Coal stack yard.

A Biodiversity Management Plan from NIO or any Marine Ecology related institute of reputed for conservation of marine ecology as a result of impact from dredging & Dumping. Main Report as prepared by NIO, Goa is enclosed as Annexure 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) Mangalore, Karnataka, a lagoon type harbor

located on the west coast of India (12° 'N; 74°48'E), is a gateway port for the vast

hinterland of the State of Karnataka state.

NMPT had approached MOEF & CC for amendment to Environment Clearance for

development of berths at western dock arm. During the presentation MoEF had

directed Port to conduct Biodiversity Plan as a result of impacts from dredging and

dumping activities at Port. In this regard, NMPT approached National Institute of

Oceanography, Goa to conduct Environmental impact assessment study and to

prepare a Biodiversity Management Plan for conservation of Marine Ecology to

mitigate/minimize the impacts from the dredging and dumping activities.

Accordingly, NIO has taken up this project and carried out environmental impact

assessment study to suggest a comprehensive environment management plan to be

implemented during the construction, operation and post operational phase of these

berths.

I. Assessment of the prevailing environment

Diurnal variation of surface meteorological parameters were noticeable during the

observational period. Warm waters (30.7°C) was observed in the port region, while

offshore regions were comparatively cooler (30.4°C). Higher evaporation in the port

region resulted an increase in the surface salinity compared to the offshore waters.

The hydrographic parameters and total petroleum hydrocarbons were within the

normal range of values that reported from unpolluted coastal areas. The water

column exhibited slightly alkaline pH in the entire study region. Well oxygenated

conditions prevailed in the entire study region. The observed low BOD indicated that

this region was devoid of organic matter pollution.


The nutrient elements such as N, P and Si were present only in µM levels and are

comparable with reported values from other coastal areas of the west coast of India.

The PHC values in water column and sediments were well below the threshold levels

so that they cannot exert adverse biological effects.

Heavy metals in the study area remained below effective range - low levels (ER-L)

indicating that it may not pose harmful effects to the biota.

The bacteriological investigation in the study area shows that the water quality

sustains a good biodiversity. The bacterial counts were relatively higher at stations

inside the port and the dumping sites. The abundance was less at the coastal

stations except for station 9. A similar trend was observed in the distribution of the

bacterial population in the sediment also.

The distribution of phytoplankton biomass, abundance, composition and species

diversity did not show any significant spatial variation. Majority of the sampling

locations the chlorophyll a showed less than 1 mg m-3, which indicates the normal

condition of tropical coastal waters in terms phytoplankton biomass. The dominance

of diatoms (>75%) over other phytoplankton groups also shows the normal

characteristic feature of tropical coastal waters. Phytoplankton species diversity

index (H’) at stations located outside the Mangalore port (av. 2.43± 0.53) and inside

the port (av. 2.41± 0.44) did not show any significant variation.

The mesozooplankton community within and outside the port did not show any

major variations. The general composition of zooplankton at most of the stations

remained more or less similar. A vast number of copepod species (35) were

observed in the study region denoting a diverse healthy environment.

In case of the macrobenthic community the density along the stations inside the port

was relatively lower than the outside stations of port. Whereas in case of biomass

except station 8 – 10, the macrobenthic biomass did not show much variations.

To conclude, the prevailing environmental and ecological features in the NMPT port

premises did not exhibit any adverse conditions that may affect the survival and

propagation of the biota in the region. However, precaution may be taken to maintain

similar conditions in the future too.

II. Potential Marine Environmental Impacts The proposed marine activities at NMPT will have at the most temporary localized

impact on the marine environment. A localized increase in turbidity may temporarily


affect the dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand and photosynthetic activity in

the open coastal region. The disturbance of the bottom sediment may liberate some

of the nutrients and heavy metals and increase their concentration in the water

column temporarily. However, since the sediment is uncontaminated, the biota would

not be exposed to high levels of pollutants due to sediment disturbance.

Some damage to subtotal and inter tidal benthic fauna may occur in the area of

proposed dredging/construction activity (125 m x 325 m). These impacts are,

however, temporary during the construction phase and are reversible with short

recovery period.

III. Socio-economic ConditionsThe marine activities by NMPT may initially cause some temporary impact. However,

it is possible to control them by suitable mitigation measures. It is fact that an

enhancement of port activity beside generating employment to local people may

promote other industries in the area and raise the socio-economic status of the

people. The benefit of such development will most probably outweigh the adverse

effects, if any, in the long run.

IV. Mitigation and Precautionary Measures

Although the impacts arising during construction phase will be of temporary in

nature, proper care should be taken to reduce possible risks.

A thorough study of the various operational and post operational activities should

have provision to efficiently deal with various types of environmental impacts to

preserve the environment.

V. Environmental Management Plan

A comprehensive management plan in respect of the marine environment will have to

be worked out by the NMPT.

Spot sampling of environmental parameters should be taken periodically to ensure

the health of the marine environment within the port and surrounding areas.


The results of the post monitoring phase should be compared with the baseline data

to delineate the changes, if any, in the water quality and marine life.

The results of this report are site specific and based on pre monsoon observations.

The delicate ecological balance should be maintained while carrying out the marine

activities considering the socio-economic benefits to the local population.
