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).

Ans: The probable impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities will be both short-

term and long-term in nature. Some of the impacts will be beneficial to the community.

7

On the other hand, some of the impacts might be adverse in nature. The likely beneficial

and adverse impacts on the existing facilities surrounding the project site have been

described below.

A. IMPACT ON OPEN SPACES

While developing the proposed construction, adequate preventive measures will be

adopted to control the fugitive emission, waste water discharge and construction

waste disposal procedures, so that the open space around the project site do not get

affected. During the operational phase also adequate preventive measures will be

taken for controlling the above issues. During earth work excavation, preventive

measures will be adopted in terms of vertical shaping to avoid landslides and soil

erosion. Thus, impact of the proposed construction on the adjacent open spaces is

expected to be minor in nature.

B. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES

In this building construction project the peripheral i.e. road, electrification, water

supply will be provided, which will provide benefits to the surrounding people.

Therefore due to proposed development, the community facilities in the adjacent

areas surrounding the project site will be considerably improved.

C. EXISTING LAND USE

Presently the land is barren and home stead land and not used for any agriculture

purpose which will be converted to housing complex.

D. LOCAL ECOLOGY

The project being a well planned activity will result in organized open spaces and

green areas. About 9715.93 sqm (22.7 % of plot area) of the area is earmarked for

landscaping. The biodiversity in the area will increase due to the proposed green

areas. The project will have an overall positive impact on the existing land use and will

not cause any disturbance to the local ecology. Proposed activity shall have no impact

on surroundings.

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).

Ans: There shall be no land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence and instability as it is a

flat land. The site falls under the zone III as per the seismic zone map of India and

indicating Moderate damage risk zone. The project will be earthquake resistant taking into

account the latest provisions of Indian Standards Codes.

8

1.5 Will the proposal invoice alternation of natural drainage system? (Give details on a

contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site)

Ans: The proposal will not involve in any alteration of natural drainage system. No perennial or

non-perennial drainage system is found within the project area or being obstructed by the

project. Thus, no impact on the natural drainage system is anticipated.

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.)

Ans: There will be very less quantity of earthwork involved during construction activity. The

filling works will be done by the excavated material and no extra material will be used. All

the topsoil excavated during construction activities shall be stored for use in

horticulture/landscape development within the project site. The lower strata earth is

either used for filling the plinths, road substructure and leveling low lying areas.

1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc, during construction period.

Ans: Water requirement during construction phase will be met from Private tankers. The water

needed for the construction phase will be 54.09 KLD. Water will be used in the

construction activity like cement mixing etc also its needed for sprinkling, dust

suppression and domestic purposes for the construction workers. The only source of waste

water during the construction is from the labour camps and water used in construction

works. Sewage will be treated by providing as well as proper disposal. Waste to be

generated during the construction period includes construction waste and solid waste.

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.)

Ans: There are no low lying areas and wetlands in near vicinity of the project site.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give

quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the

construction labor and the means of disposal).

Ans: During construction phase, around 1710 m3 earth is expected to be generated which will

be utilized for backfilling. Adequate preventive measures will be taken to avoid the

spreading of dust during the transportation.

Effective material management and environmental management measures will be adopted

in order to minimize the volume of construction waste. It is difficult to quantify the

volume of construction waste because of the following factors:

• Phasing of construction activities.

• Skilled workmanship.

9

• Recycling of such waste.

However Cement Mortar Waste will be used for pavement making.

Brick waste will be reused for preparation of sub base internal roads.

2. WATER ENVIRONMENT

2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the

breakup of requirements for various uses. How will the water requirement met? State

the sources & quantities and furnish a water balance statement.

Ans: The water requirement for the proposed project can be divided into two stages:

i) Construction Stage

ii) Operational Stage

i) Water Requirement during construction stage

For major construction activities daily requirement of water will be 42.0 m3 (peak

demand) per day. Water consumption for the Non-resident laborers will be 105 @ 30 lpcd =

3150 liters. Water consumption for the resident laborers will be 42 @ 70 lpcd = 2940 liters.

Water requirement for dust suppression which will be about 6.0 m3/day.

Therefore, during the construction phase, total daily water requirement will be 42000

liters + 3150 liters + 2940 liters + 6000 liters = 54090 liters = 54.09 m3/day. This will be

sourced by Private tankers.

2.5 Will there be diversion of water from the users? (Please assess the impacts of the

project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption).

Ans: No. There will not be any diversion of water from other users. Artificial recharge measures

and roof top water recharging will be taken up to negate the impact of ground water

extraction in the area and sustainability of the sources in future. Hence there will be

negligible adverse impact on the ground water resources within the area.

13

2.6 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed

activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from

the proposed activity).

Ans: Approximately, 364.92 m3/day of wastewater will be generated during the operational

phase from domestic use and other uses. This wastewater generated will be treated in

well designed sewage treatment plant. Composition of waste water is listed below:

E Coli MPN 106 – 107 / 1L 103 /1L

2.7 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of

the facilities created.

Ans: The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any

collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends

upon many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the

tributary area and the time required for such flow to reach the drains. The drains shall be

located near the carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road

slope, the rainfall run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from

various plots/shall be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins. There

are 22 nos. of Rain Water Recharging pits are being proposed for artificial rain water

recharge within the project premises.

Calculations for Storm Water load:

Rational formula for calculating run-off = CIA

Q= Runoff in m3

A= Area in sqm

C= Co-efficient of run-off based on Manual on norms and standards for environment

clearance of large construction projects, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government

of India.

I = Intensity of rainfall in mm based on IMD Data

Yearly rainfall : 1493 mm/yr

Monsoon Months : June – September

Maximum hourly rainfall = 85 mm/hr

14

Calculations for storm water load for recharging

Total Run-off: Roof Top

Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr

Drainage area in sqm = 17905.09 m2

Coefficient of run-off = 0.80

Therefore, runoff = 0.80 x 0.085 x 17905.09 = 1217.54 m3/hr

Total Run-off: Paved Surface





Total Run-off: Unpaved Surface





= (1217.54 + 714.8 + 123.87) m3/hr = 2056.21 m3/hr

Typical Rain Water Recharge Pit Details:

Rain Water Recharging pits are being proposed for artificial rain water recharge within the

project premises. Percolation pits will be filled with small pebbles or brick jelly or river

sand and covered with perforated concrete slabs. Total runoff load from the project site

will be 2056.21 m3/hr

Rain Water recharge Pit Length x Breath = 4' 0'' x 4' 0'', Height = 6' 0''.

Volume of each Recharge pit = 4 x 4 x 6 = 96.0 cum

Volume of each Recharge pit = 96.0 cum

So, No. of pits required= 2056.21 /96 = 21.4 say 22 nos.

Rain Water Recharge pits are being proposed = 22 nos.

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use change occurring due to the proposed

project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in

the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of

flooding of water logging in any way?

Ans: The proposed project will include paved areas and thus the runoff from the plot is

expected to increase due to reduced infiltration. However, the increased runoff will not

cause flooding or water logging as a well designed storm water drainage will be provided.

The runoff will finally be collected into rainwater harvesting pits for groundwater

recharging. The quality of the runoff is expected to improve due to paved areas.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of

ground water; give the details of ground water table, regarding capacity, and

approvals obtained from competent authority, if any)

Ans: During construction phase water will be supplied by private tankers. Whereas Ground

water will be sourced during Operation phase, the proponent has been applied to Central

Ground water Authority (CGWA) for tapping of ground water. To reduce the freshwater

demand and hence the groundwater stress, treated wastewater will be used for

landscaping, flushing and dust suppression.

2.10 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction stage

of the project?

Ans: The following management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during

construction phase.

i) Adequate plantation will be done along the boundary and road side.

ii) Excavation works should be prohibited during monsoon season.

iii) Care would be taken to avoid soil erosion.

iv) Community toilets shall be constructed on the site during construction phase and the

wastewater will be channelized to the septic tank in order to prevent wastewater from

entering the water bodies.

v) Any area with loose debris within the site shall be planted.

vi) To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof

containers would be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease.

vii) Collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash downs, and

prevention of soil loss and toxic release from the construction site will be adhered to

minimize water pollution.

2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? ( State the provisions made to

avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site

layout indication contour levels)

16

Ans: During the post construction stage, the storm water will be collected into the surface

drainage network inside the campus. The drain sizes and section will be designed in such a

way that they can take the load of the peak rainfall period. All the surface drains will be

covered by gratings to avoid the litter and other inert waste. To prevent chocking of

drains Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains will be done. Proper land gradient

will be provided so that water logging inside the campus does not occur. The collected

rainwater from the building roofs during the rainfall period will be send into recharge pits

inside the campus. The storm water of the ground surface will be discharged into the

drain. To reduce the surface runoff and subsequent increase in infiltration of rainwater,

attempts will make to maximize the green surface inside the campus.

2.12 Will the deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead to

unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation)

Ans: Proper on-site sanitation facilities will be provided for the construction labourers so as to

avoid defecation in and around project site. Septic tank and soak pits will also be

constructed for collection and treatment of domestic waste water generated from the

construction laborers use. Moreover, on-site sanitation facilities, water supply for drinking

and other domestic uses will also provided during the construction stage of the project.

2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of

sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities

with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).

Ans: It is expected that the project will generate approx. 364.92 KLD of waste water. Out of

which 214.85 KLD of recoverable water from STP which will be used within the project.

STP is designed to treat 500 KLD waste water. Treatment plant proposed here is

completely aerobic treatment based on FAB Technology.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system it treated waste used for flushing of toilet or any

other use.

Ans: As discussed above, all treated wastewater from the STP will be reused for different

purposes like flushing, gardening and DG cooling purposes. Therefore, dual plumbing

system is proposed for the proposed project. Dual Plumbing system shall be provided as

per latest NBC Code.

3. VEGETATION

3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the bio diversity? (Give a description of the local

ecosystem with its unique features, if any)

Moreover, plantation along the periphery of the project site will posses positive impact on

17

biodiversity.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide

a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).

Ans: The construction activity involves cutting and cleaning of existing vegetation which

include few bushes and grasses as preliminarily assessed. It is proposed to develop

peripheral greenbelt of native plant species to enhance the aesthetic value of the region

and also provide an excellent habitat for various faunal groups.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on

important site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping,

creation or water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale).

Ans: Total green area measures about 22.7 % of the plot area which will be area under tree

plantation within the residential plots and along the roads. Evergreen tall and ornamental

trees and ornamental shrubs have been proposed to be planted inside the premises.

4. FAUNA

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

of barriers for their movement? Prove the details.

Ans: No. The existing land use around the site is urban and does not provide a habitat for wild

species. The avenue plantation will provide an excellent habitat for the native fauna.

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.

Ans: The project will not have any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area.

However, planting of fruit bearing trees in the proposed greenbelt will be an attraction to

the local bird population.

4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse on fauna

Ans: Not applicable

5. AIR ENVIRONMENT

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

(Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion

models taking into account the increase traffic generation as a result of the proposed

constructions)

Ans: There will be no emission of dust, fumes or gas During the operational stage, However, as

there will be building blocks, there might remain a possibility of slight increase in heat

island effect, which can be mitigated in the following means:

I) Judicial layout of building blocks within the complex

The structure of the buildings is designed in such a way that there will be sufficient

18

amount of external as well as internal open space provided around the block so that the

air movement does not get interrupted.

II) Reducing the footprint of building blocks within the complex

22.7 % of the land area is being proposed for plantation. Therefore, much lesser heat

gain will over the green surface.

III) Selection of Building material

The building materials will be selected in such a way that the solar heat gain over the

vertical surface and roof minimized. Ambient air quality in and around the project site

has been monitored regularly. The traffic movement also will be controlled within the

complex by providing traffic calming measures and adequate road width.

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.

Ans Such activities will not be allowed during the operational stage which will pose impact on

generate dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gas. Only the DG sets might

generate little smoke which will be controlled by provision of adequate stack height.

No of DG set = 5

So, as per prescribed formula,

H = h +0.2 √ KVA

Where,

H = height of the stack attached to the DG set in the meter.

H = height of the building.

KVA = Capacity of the DG set.

H = 14.95 + 0.2√200

= 14.95 + 0.2 x 14.14

= 14.95 + 2.82

= 17.77 m

DG set No Capacity (KVA) Stack Height

1 200 17.77 m

5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the

present level of transport infrastructure & measures proposed for improvement

including traffic management at the entry & exit to the project site.

Ans: There will be no shortage of parking space for vehicles. Details given in Chapter-X of EMP.

5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycles tracks, and

pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each category.

Ans: Internal roads will be provided with adequate road width and better circulation pattern.

19

The details given in Traffic Circulation plan of EMP.

5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibration? Give details of the

sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.

Ans: There would not be any significant increase in traffic noise and vibration due to the

proposed project. Source of noise would be vehicular movement. The speed of the

vehicles inside the building will be restricted to 20 Kmph. Generators will be provided

with acoustic enclosures consisting of noise absorbents. Green belt development is also

proposed for site area. The green belt around the project site will act as effective noise

and dust absorber.

Recommended Plants by CPCB for developing green belt

All tolerant plants are not necessarily good for green belts e.g. Xerophytes with sunken

stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but are poor absorbers of pollutants due to

low gaseous exchange capacity. Therefore selection of plants is very important in green

belt development for effective removal of suspended particulate matter and for

absorption of gases.

II. SITUATION WITHIN 10 KM RADIUS FROM PROJECT SITE

General topography: The area is broadly divided into 3 zones, such as run-off zone,

infiltration zone and discharge zone. These zones have different hydromorphic units.

Hydromorphological maps prepared based on the satellite imagery as well as

secondary information. The various land use/land cover classes identified within the

10 Km buffer zone are:

Settlement

It is defined as an area of human habitation developed due to non-agricultural use

and that which has a cover of buildings, transport and communication, utilities in

association with water, vegetation and vacant lands. The rural settlements are mostly

associated with vegetation cover and smaller in size.

Urban areas

These are areas of human settlement covered by modern buildings, well developed

transport and communication system in association with vegetation and water bodies.

Agricultural Land

It is defined as the land primarily used for farming and for production of food, fiber,

and other commercial and horticultural crops.

Plantation

These are the areas associated with degraded forest land where plantation has been

made to regenerate the forest or areas where orchards/horticulture has been

developed. These areas are characterized by regular shape.

Scrub forest

Forests where the vegetative (crown) density is less than 10 % of the canopy cover are

classified under this category. It is the result of both biotic and abiotic influences.

4

Land with/ without Scrub

These lands occupy (relatively) higher topography like uplands or high grounds

with/without any scrub cover. These lands are more prone to degradation or erosion.

Water Bodies

These are natural or artificial occurrences of water in form of river, ponds and

reservoirs. They may be perennial or non-perennial in nature.

Waste Land

These lands are generally uplands without any vegetation or agriculture

Mostly leveled land with hill ranges in between. Presence of plain land as well in

urban areas. The various land use/land cover classes identified as Agricultural land,

Waste land, Forest Land, Settlement, Urban area, Water body etc. Most of the land of

the 10 Kms buffer zone coming under Agricultural land, urban land and settlement.

Soil Characteristics:

Based on the lithological formations, three types of soil can be found in the buffer

zone of the project site. These are Entisols, Alfisols and Ultisols.

Alfisols: These soils include Red sandy soils and Red black soils. These soils are

deficient in nitrogen and P2O3. Both total and available K2O are fairly adequate and

pH varies from 6.5 to 7.3. The reddish colour is due to oxidation of original

ferruginous materials. Red black soils covers majority of the area including patches in

the south east part of the buffer zone. Red sandy soils area present in the south and

south east part of the buffer zone.

Ultisols: These are Red sandy soils and lateritic soils in the south western part of the

buffer zone occurring in patches in uplands, especially as capping over weathered

country rocks. These soils are characterized by compact to vermicular mass in sub-

soil horizons, composed merely of mixture of hydrated oxides of Aluminium and Iron

and are devoid of the alkali and alkaline earth metals.
