i) Vision of Integrated Spiritual Township

Mathura and Vrindavan are important places for Hindus all over the world. Vrindavan is

especially a very revered and sacred place for the devotees of Krishna. Great devotees in

the past have built magnificent temples, small and big.

M/s Hare Krishna Movement plans to set up a township with a grand temple of Krishna at

the center. It has a unique architectural feature that harmoniously blends the elements of

Indian traditional temple architecture of Nagara style and elements of modern

architecture. The grand temple shall be of monumental proportions and iconic

architecture that harmoniously fuses essentials of Indian temple architecture and

elements of modern architecture. This temple is poised to become the tallest, grandest

and largest religious structure in India. The temple has a footprint of about 38 acres and

rises to a height of about 332 meters. The housing development project comprises of

rows of houses (villas) and group housings to be occupied by devotees of Krishna who



2 | P a g e

wish to be in the precincts of a grand temple in the holy land of Vrindavan. The housing

development project also will have a place for the lower income group and economically

weaker section. The temple is planned to be vibrant with festivals and religious activities

all through the year.

The grand temple would be surrounded by wooden area that constitutes green area. This

green area will be revived and recreated around the grand temple in their original glory.

Designed by the world‟s best landscape architects, it will be made of the green area as

described in the Srimad Bhagavatam (dvadasha kanana) with varieties of vegetation,

green pastures, fruit bearing trees, flower laden creepers, clear water lakes and water

falls from small hillocks– all created to transport the visitors to Krishna‟s times in

Vrindavan. The area will also house Krishna Lila Theme Park attractions that celebrate

the various pastimes of Krishna that he performed in Vrindavan. Using dolls, settings,

light and sound effects, projection effects and ride systems, these attractions tell the

stories of Krishna in an entertaining manner to guests of all ages.

The Grand Temple and Theme Park will be the USP of the project to attract potential

buyers for the residential space. The surpluses from the residential development will

finance the development of the grand temple and theme park. The devotees of Krishna

will want to have a second home or a vacation home at Vrindavan, and the temple-

centered township will be a major attraction.

The complex also has a huge facility to support it social responsibility through the Akshaya Patra

foundation. This facility provides mid day meals to schools in the local community in surrounding

areas. All services such as water, electricity, sewage, roads, lighting will be available within the

complex making this an “integrated township” which will be self-sustaining in nature.

There is ample provision for community facilities like school, basic medical care facility,

convenience store, etc. There is provision for living quarters for staff, as well as in house

workshop and maintenance of the complex in addition to Stores. This is in addition to faculties

provided for devotees living with the temple premises the land comes under the land already

declared for residential developmental activities by Mathura-Vrindavan Development Authority.

Thus, there will be no land use change and the land confirms to approve Development plan. The

integrated town ship layout spreads over land of 110.157 acres divided into public, residential,

commercial and community zones.

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 landuse disturbance to the local ecology).

There will not be any significant impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities

adjacent to the proposed site, as the MVDA has provided all the facilities such as

connectivity roads, open space etc. keeping in view the land use as per Master Plan.

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).

There will not be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence or

instability. The area is fairly plain and subsoil strata are alluviums deposited by water

courses, geologically the litho log sections show dominant of sand percentage. The

proposed project site is falling under Zone IV as per Indian Seismic Zoning Plan.

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a

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



14 | P a g e

There will be no alteration of natural Drainage System. The area is fairly plain and MVDA

has already constructed a system of drains.

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.).

A very little cutting or filling will be required as the site is fairly plain and devoid of any

water body or low laying area.

Construction of basements and foundations will require excavation of earth material. Top

soil (fertile) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping, green turfing and

horticultural development. 100% of total excavated earth will be reutilized into backfilling,

leveling and road construction. Figure 8 illustrates the management strategy of the

excavated soil for the proposed project.

Fig. 8: Management strategy of the excavated soil

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

period.

Water requirement during construction phase will vary depending upon construction

activities and will be met by bore-wells at the site. In the area around the proposed site,

rich aquifers are present in the area. The requirement of construction water will not put

sudden pressure on the available Groundwater of the area. Gradually, water will be

recharged during rains and percolation of water.



15 | P a g e

Solid waste generated during the construction phase shall be properly collected and

segregated as plastic; paper, metal and other shall be disposed off as per the standard

practice.

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 is no low-lying area & wetlands on the project area.

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)

Wastes which will be generated during the construction phase include the following:

Excavated Materials From Earthworks & Foundation etc:

Construction of Basement will require excavation of earth material. The top soil (fertile) will

be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping, green turfing and horticultural

development. The sub-soil layers will be reutilized into backfilling, leveling and road

construction.

Construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty

cement bags):

Wood - It would be reutilized in construction of sitting areas in the parks.

Packing material - The packing material from the project site will be used in composting.

Scrap metal - It would be given away to authorized recycler.

Concrete - Concrete will be reutilized in construction of amenities for the parks and will be

kept over the empty cement bags covering the excavated earth thereby preventing the

displacement of bags.

Empty cement bags - The excavated earth materials will be covered by empty cement

bags that will prevent the soil from being blown away with air.

Hazardous wastes generated by servicing of DG sets and waste paints (e.g. vehicle

and plant maintenance/servicing):

The hazardous wastes would be handover to authorized recycler.

Municipal wastes generated by site workers:

This will be stored in bins and used in composting. Municipal wastes comprise of food

wastes, packaging and waste paper. Generation rate of solid waste from labour camps will



16 | P a g e

vary from place to place due to habits and living condition. Approximately 0.15

Kg/capita/day of municipal waste may be expected during construction phase. The

domestic waste water generated from construction camps shall be disposed off through

septic tank/soak pit. Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials may be

observed at construction site. However the quantity of their waste materials would be very

small and limited up to the construction site only. Contamination by these wastes would be

negligible and would be collected time to time during construction phase. The impact on

soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature.

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?

Quality Standards of Water Supply

The objective of Water Works Management is to ensure that the water supplied is free from

pathogenic organisms, clear, palatable and free from undesirable taste and odour, of reasonable

temperature, neither corrosive nor scale forming and free from minerals which could produce

undesirable physiological effects. The establishment of minimum standards of quality for public

water supply is of fundamental importance in achieving this objective. The physical and chemical

quality of drinking water shall be in accordance with the recommended guidelines. Parameters for

analysis of water quality were selected based on the utility of the particular source of water as per

MoEF guidance. Hence quality of ground water was compared with IS: 10500 for drinking

purposes and surface water quality were compared with CPCB Water Quality Criteria against A,

B, C, D & E classes of water.

Water Supply

Underground tanks shall be provided in the proposed project for domestic and firefighting

purposes. The water shall be distributed through gravity system from the respective overhead

tanks. Network of distribution system is planned on the basis of closed loops, so that a specific

pocket gets water from minimum two points. In case one point is under repair, the entire

distribution system will not be affected. The water will be boosted from central underground

storage tank to overhead tanks over building roofs by hydro-pneumatic pumps. By using hydro-

pneumatic pump set of variable drive, the same set of pumps will be used for a group of buildings

by single supply feeder.

19 | P a g e

2.2 What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water?

Utilization of ground water for the operation of the group housing will be very scientific and

systematic. The anticipated tube wells, required to trap the groundwater fulfilling the water

demand, is considered having a yield of 500 LPM. Each tube well will have separate

pumping plant and 25 m of head requirement is taken for underground storage and 60 m

head for OHT.

For watering in green areas like gardens, parks, green landscape etc, it is proposed to use

recycled water collected from STP so that water would be conserved.

Therefore, the sources of water identified for water supply system are:

1. Ground Water

2. Recycling of treated effluent from STP

2.3 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal

source? (Provide physical, chemical, biological characteristics with class of water

quality).

The supply is through tube wells, the quality of water is drinkable as per norms. The

ground water quality monitoring is in progress. Water Treatment plan for portable water

will be provided as per requirement.

2.4 How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated

wastewater?

The total anticipated sewage to be generated from the group housing is 1264 KLD

(approx.) and 80 % of the sewage (1011KLD) will be available for recycling. Hence the

treated sewage will be utilized for the above said purpose and the remaining quantity will

be used for flushing and similar requirements.

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

project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption).

There is no diversion of water from other users.



20 | P a g e

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).

Waste water generated is 1264 KLD which will be treated in the STP of 1400 KLD

(designed at 20% higher capacity). Treated water will be recycled for various uses

including flushing, horticulture, DG sets cooling, fire fighting and other low end uses. The

surplus quantity will be discharged in the nearby municipal sewer line; necessary

permission will be taken from the concerned authority for the same.

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

the facilities created.

The rainwater will be collected through piped drains and conveyed into rainwater

harvesting system. All storm water drains would be designed for adequate size and slope

such that there shall not be any flooding in the site. It shall be ensured that no wastewater

shall enter into storm water drainage system.

Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The

rainwater collected from the rooftop will be conveyed into the rainwater harvesting system

consisting of desilting-cum-filter chamber, oil and grease separators and bore wells for

recharge into the groundwater. RWH will be initially done only from the roof top. Runoff

from green and other open areas will be done only after permission from CGWB. No

demand will be met from the process.

Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period

of years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given

frequencies. The longer the record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In

Indian conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 15 mm/hr

to 30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken

30 mm/hr.

Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, total volume of storm water = 5892.64/4 = 1473.16m3

Taking the effective diameter and depth of a recharge pit be 5 m and 2 m respectively:

Volume of a single Recharge pit (b) = π r2h = 3.14 x 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 = 39.25 m3

Hence No. of pits required = 1473/39.25 = 38 pits

Provided Pits: 38 Pits

Desilting tank shall be 3 x 2 x 1.5 m.

Recharge Pit: dia = 5 m and depth = 2 m

A pond is to be constructed that would also aid groundwater recharge.

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes 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 or water logging in any way?

There is no landscape change planned. The project will not aggravate the problem of flood

or water logging in any way as the land is plain.

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, recharging capacity, and

approvals obtained from competent authority, if any).

Construction Phase: No hazardous chemical and material will be used in the

development and construction phase of a project. Debris and wastes generated during this



22 | P a g e

phase will be collected and disposed suitably. Therefore, possibility of contamination of

ground water will be negligible. Hence, no impact is anticipated on the ground water

quality during the construction phase.

Operation Phase:

Fresh water shall be obtained through ground water. However, the same will be

augmented further as rainwater harvesting is proposed.

The rain water collected from roof top will be sent for ground water recharging through

38 nos. of RWH pits. 5892.64 m3/hr of water is available for ground water recharge

which will be recharged through RWH pits. A major part of the area is under green or

open land which will percolate naturally and augment the ground water. Therefore, most

of the rain water will be directly infiltrated through these open/green areas. Hence no

adverse impacts are envisaged due to the project on the ground water quality and the

level. Maximum recharging of the underground aquifer will be done.

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

activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures

taken to avoid the adverse impacts).

Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site.

The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from

excavated site only came to increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff

water from the site. However, this impact will be temporary in nature and would be

observed in first rain only, and as soon as the rain is over, excavated soil at site would be

stabilized therefore the surface water quality during rains will be impacted marginally for

very short duration. No runoff will be disposed outside the project boundary.

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).

Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water

pipe drains has been planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought

down through drain water pipes. Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drains,

catch basins and seepage pits at regular intervals for rain water harvestings for ground



23 | P a g e

water recharging. The average rainfall of 30 mm/hr shall be considered for designing the

storm water drainage system.

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

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

Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from temporary labour camps on site, which

will be temporary in nature during the initial construction phase. Wash bins should be

placed near the camps solid waste collection; the camps solid waste will be properly

disposed at the designated landfill site. The sewerage will be disposed through septic tank

or municipal sewer. Therefore during, construction their will not be any unsanitary

conditions around the project area.

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).

Sanitary sewage is mostly the spent water of the community draining into the sewer

system with some ground water and a fraction of storm run-off from the area, draining into

it. The sewers should be capable of receiving the maximum discharge expected at the end

of design period.

Since it is both difficult and uneconomical to augment the capacity of the system at a later

date, sewers are usually designed for the maximum expected discharge to meet the

requirement of the ultimate development of the area. A design period of 30 years for all

types of sewers is usually considered.

Sewage Collection & Treatment

An external sewage network shall collect the sewage from all the units, and flow by gravity

to the proposed sewage treatment plant. Following are the advantages of providing STP in

the proposed project:

1. Reduced daily net water requirements, source for horticulture purposes by utilization of

the treated waste water.

2. Reduced dependence on the public utilities for water supply and sewerage systems.

3. Sludge generated from the STP shall be rich in organic content and an excellent

fertilizer for horticultural purposes.



24 | P a g e

The proposed sewage treatment plant would work on the FAB technology. The treatment

process consists of the following stages:

1. Equalization

2. Bio-degradation

3. Clarification & Settling

4. Filtration

The technology is based on attached growth aerobic treatment followed by clarification by

a tube settler. Lime will be dosed in for suppression of foaming tendencies. The clarified

water will be filtered in a pressure sand filter after dosing of coagulant (alum) for removal

of unsettled suspended impurities. This filtered water from ACF is then chlorinated and

stored in the flushing tank.

The attached growth fluidized aerobic bed reactor (FAB) process combines the biological

processes of attached and suspended growth. It combines submerged fixed film with

extended aeration for treatment of the waste water.

The waste water after screening is collected in an equalization tank. The equalization tank

is required for preventing surges in flow and facilitating equalization of characteristics over

the entire quantity of effluent in a given time. A provision for pre-aeration is made in the

equalization tank in order to ensure mixing and to prevent the sewage from going septic.

The equalized sewage is pumped into the FAB reactor for biological processing. The water

enters the bottom of the reactor and flows up through the fixed film media that grossly

enhances the hydraulic retention time and provides a large surface area for growth of

biological microbes. The FAB reactor is aerated by fine pore sub-surface diffusers that

provide the oxygen for organic removal. The synthetic media floats on the water and the

air agitation ensures good water to microorganism contact.

The FAB treatment is an attached growth type biological treatment process where in, the

majority of biological activity takes place on the surface of the PVC media. Continuous

aeration ensures aerobic activity on the surface of the media. Micro-organisms attach

themselves on the media and grow into dense films of a viscous jelly like nature. Waste

water passes over the film with dissolved organics passing into the bio-film due to

concentration gradients within the film. Suspended particles and colloids may get retained

on this sticky surface where they are decomposed into soluble particles. Oxygen from the

aeration process in the waste water provides oxygen for the aerobic reactions at the bio-

film surface. Waste products from the metabolic processes diffuse outward and get carried

away by the waste water or air currents through the voids of the media.



25 | P a g e

The aerated effluent passes into a tube deck settler for clarification. The theory of gravity

tube settler system is that the carrier fluid maintains laminar flow in the settling media at

specified maximum viscosity. These two parameters of a carrier fluid, flowing through a

hydraulic configuration, will determine the velocity gradients of the flow, the height of

boundary layer at the inclined surface and the residence time within the media.

The carrier fluid must be viscous Newtonian, exhibiting a Reynolds number of less than

1000 and preferably, a number under 400. The laminar flow, through the inclined tubes,

will produce velocity gradients sufficiently large to form an adequate boundary layer,

where the velocity of suspended solids to separate from the viscous carrier fluid. Under

gravitational forces, the will settle to the hydraulic surface of the tube and subsequently

from the clarifier media.

Since the tubes are inclined at 60 degrees, solids settled on the tubes are continually

discharged down. This downward rolling action increases particle contact and hence

further agglomeration, which increases the sludge settle ability. Studies show that these

agglomerated sludge particles can have a settling rate in excess of ten times the settling

rate of the individual floc particles in the influent. These heavy agglomerated masses

quickly slide down the 60 degree inclined tube and settle at the bottom of the tank.

At the bottom of the Tube deck, where the sludge leaves the Tube surface, the larger

agglomerated sludge particles captures smaller particles in the upcoming stream. This

solid contact phenomenon enhances the capture efficiency. The components of the

proposed STP are stated as under:

1. Bar Screen

2. Oil and Grease trapping unit

designed at 20% higher capacity for future use. Thus the STP capacity will be 1400 KLD. Total

waste water generated is approximately 1264 KLD and the STP sludge shall be used as manure

for horticulture.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste used is used for flushing of

toilets or any other use.

Dual plumbing shall be used for recycled water using different color pipes.

3. VEGETATION

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

ecosystem with its unique features, if any).

There is no threat to local bio diversity.



27 | P a g e

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

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

There is no significant vegetation, except some ground cover within the site.

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

A combination of evergreen and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground

covers will be planted along the sides of the roads and in open spaces & set back area

within the complex.

Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper

landscaping reduces direct sun from striking the buildings and heating up building

surfaces, prevents reflected light carrying heat into a building from the ground or surface,

creates different airflow patterns and can be used to direct or divert the wind

advantageously by causing a pressure difference. Shade created by trees and the effects

of grass and shrubs reduce air temperature adjoining the building and provide evaporative

cooling. A study shows that the ambient air under a tree is 2 to 2.5 0C lower than that for

adjacent non-shaded areas.

Parks & Avenue Plantation

Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for visitors to

relax and suitable patches of lawns shall be provided. The following trees are proposed to

be planted in the proposed project:

Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.

Trees with branching at 10 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.

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as

climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and

having significant importance are provided in Table 11.

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.

There is no displacement of fauna or creation of barriers for their movement.

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

There is no impact on the avifauna of the area. Due to the provision of extensive green area on

the project site it is expected that site will attract small fauna.

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

on fauna.

As there is no displacement of fauna, no mitigation measures are required and provided.

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).



29 | P a g e

Increased traffic generation due to project is not going to cause significant increase in

atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation. The minor

impacts of emissions from traffic will be neutralized by developing a thick green belt along

the periphery and internal road side.

During construction phase, fugitive dust emissions will be the main pollutants associated

within on-site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles, material handling, excavation of

channels and foundations. It may be noted that these emissions would be in the form of

coarse particulate matter and will be settled down ultimately in the closed vicinity of

construction site. Therefore, no significant impact is anticipated due to dust emission

during development and construction phase.

Regular water sprinkling will be done and construction material will be transferred in trucks

covered with tarpaulin.

The other source of pollution during operational phase will be emissions from DG sets.

Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the DG sets as per guidelines of MoEF (as

per the Gazette of India Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (I) No. 318, dated July 11,

2002, is given below, refer table no. 4.3) to facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into the

atmosphere.

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.



30 | P a g e

During operation phase, DG sets operated for back-up power supply are identified as the

only major sources of gaseous and particulate emission. SO2 emissions are expected due

to fuel combustion in generator sets. During the construction stage of the project, there

remain chances for generation of dust, which will be controlled by sprinkling of water,

covering building materials by tarpaulin, covering the structure with Hessian clothes etc.

No hazardous gases will be generated during the construction stage of the project. Most of

the concrete to be used at site, will be ready mix concrete procured from nearby factories.

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.

The project complex will have bell shaped entry from 15 m wide road. All the internal roads

would be 12 m wide. The entry/exit point has been marked on the layout plan. The project

site is well connected to network of roads leading from various parts of the city.

Adequate provision has already been kept for car/vehicles parking at the proposed project.

Vehicle parking will be both in the basement and in open within the premises.

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.

During the construction phase, some noise will be generated through the operation of

construction machines, excavators, DG set, etc. Following measures should be taken; into

consideration to mitigate the noise at construction site:

Efforts shall be made to the extent feasible not to use such excavation/ construction

machines, which generate noise levels much more than 85 dB (A),

Silencers shall be fitted on construction machines and DG set,



32 | P a g e

Acoustic enclosures should provide to DG set at the construction site,

Earmuff and other protecting devices shall be provided to labour working with high

noise generation machines.

During post construction phase, adverse impacts of noise will be mitigated by adopting

following measures.

DG set will be provided with the acoustic enclosures.

Use of horn should be discouraged in the internal roads of the proposed project.

Green belt/plantation along the internal roads will also work as noise harriers.

5.6 What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration in

& ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.

Impacts on Air Quality due to DG Sets:

Impacts on ambient air during operation phase would be due to emissions from the stacks

attached to stand by DG sets only during grid power failure.

Mitigation Measures

Back up DG sets will comply with the applicable emission norm.

Adequate stack height for DG sets will be provided as per norms.

Back up DG sets will be used only during power failure.

Census data for power supply shows that 33 villages have power supply for domestic

purpose, 48 villages have power for agriculture purpose, 60 villages have power for other

purposes, and 98 have power for all purposes. Census data for post and telegraphic

amenities in the villages shows that there are 14 post offices and 180 telephones.

There are 68 pucca roads approaching to villages and 24 mud roads in the rural villages of

the study area. 17 areas are accessible by footpath. The communication of the study area

is through 9 bus stops and 1 railway station.

7.3 Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance to sacred

sites or other cultural values? What are the safeguards proposed?

The project will provide employment to people from all walks of life: Construction,

Construction related materials, Engineering, Medicine, Landscapists, Animal Husbandry,

Hospitality, Facility Management, Education, Artisans, Information Technology,

Administration etc. The project is expected to provide employment to approximately 2000

people across the above vocations. It is expected that the number of tourists visiting

Vrindavan will increase because of the attractions and experience this spiritual township

will offer. This in turn will result in increased customers for businesses within not only

Vrindavan but entire Braj. More importantly because of increased visitors and pilgrims,

important temples of Vrindavan will get higher patron ship because of which the upkeep

and maintenance of Vrindavan‟s spiritual heritage can improve.

Since considerable units are planned, the residents of township themselves will be

consuming considerable goods and services locally and therefore will contribute

significantly to the economy of the local community. Inside the spiritual township, we have

a huge state of the art kitchen facility to prepare and supply Free, Hot, Ready to serve,

nutritious mid day meals to children in the surrounding schools. Because of this project

more and more children will get served. We have proved all over Indian that more children

enroll and attend school because they get Akshaya Patra Mid day meals. We also intend



36 | P a g e

to build and run a school for under privileged children that will give them access to good

education and therefore give them a chance for living more options of livelihood. Another

important aspect of this project is that unlike other developments, the Integrate Spiritual

Township has plans to create acres of green area within the premises. This will make a

significant contribution to add to the ecosystem of Vrindavan.

However most importantly, the Township with its Krishna Leela theme park and Grand

Temple will service to spread the Glories of Lord Krishna and His Pastimes in the whole

world, in process glorifying the importance of Vrindavan and whole of Braj in the whole

world.

Treatment of waste:

Municipal Solid Waste predominantly includes household waste (domestic waste) and

sometimes with the addition of commercial wastes collected by a municipality within a given

area. Rapid increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste, as a result of

continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization, is becoming a burgeoning

problem for national and local governments to ensure effective and sustainable management

of waste.

A. Bio-Degradable wastes:

Bio-degradable waste will be subjected to composting and the compost will be used as

manure.

Horticultural waste is proposed to be composted and will be used for gardening purposes.

The cropped grass will be spread on the green area. It will act as manure after

decomposition.

B. Recyclable wastes:

Recyclable waste like paper, plastics, and metals will be sold to the authorized recycler of the

area.

Disposal:

The proper disposal of urban waste is not only enormously necessary for the preservation and

improvement of public health but it has an immense potential for resource recovery.

Generated Solid waste shall be segregated & collected on common solid waste collection

center at site, from where it will be transported to the nearest landfill site by the hired waste

management/municipal agency for their treatment and disposal. However, the MSW

management approach will be towards zero landfill by reducing the amount of inert waste.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Development projects are meant to give economic benefits to the society like increase in

GDP, employment generation, foreign exchange earning etc., which mostly aimed at, are

tangible ones. Simultaneously, development of projects also causes some social and

environmental losses and gains. A sustainable project should have environmental

compatibility in addition with techno-economic feasibility.

1.2 About the City

Vrindavan, a town in the Mathura district of Uttar

Pradesh, India, is the site of a forested region,

where Krishna spent his childhood days. The town

is about 10 km away from Mathura, the city of Lord

Krishna's birthplace, near the Agra-Delhi highway.

The town hosts hundreds of temples dedicated to

the worship of Radha and Krishna and is

considered sacred by a number of religious

traditions. Govindadev temple, Gopinath temple

and Ranganath Mandir are the most prominent and popular places in the town.

1.3 The Company

M/s Hare Krishna Movement, Vrindavan conceptualized “Sri Radha Vrindavan Chandra

Mandir, Krishna Lila Theme Park and Group Housing” to set up a township with a grand

temple of Krishna as the center. The grand temple shall be of monumental proportions and

iconic architecture that harmoniously fuses essentials of Indian temple architecture and

elements of modern architecture. The temple has a huge footprint and rises to a height of

about 332 meters. The temple is planned to be vibrant with festivals and religious activities

all through the year.

Around this magnificent temple is a sprawling recreated Vrindavan forest. Designed by the

world‟s best landscape architects, it will be made of the twelve verdant forests as described

in the Srimad Bhagavatam (dvadasha kanana) with varieties of vegetation, green pastures,

fruit bearing trees, flower laden creepers, clear water lakes and water falls from small

hillocks – all created to transport the visitors to Krishna‟s times in Vrindavan.

A provision of 86 lpcd (liters per capita per day) for residential, 45 lpcd for staff, 15 lpcd for

visitors and 20 lpcd water requirements for Akshaya Patra shall be made. This is in

accordance with the Manual of Water Supply, Central Public Health and Environmental

Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), Ministry of Housing, Government of India (GOI),

hence the total water requirements shall be:

The water consumption comes out to be 86 lpcd for domestic, 45 lpcd for staff, 15 lpcd for

visitors and 20 lpcd for Akshaya Patra after installing the following water saving practices:

Using low flushing systems - using efficient water saving toilets with dual flush

systems, thus saving about 50 percent of water.

Sensor based fixtures - these reduce about 0.4 liters per flush.

Low flow faucets along with other water saving devices resulting in 25 to 50 percent

water.

Low flow shower with flow rates at 7.5 lpm @ 80 psi

Other pressure reducing devices to reduce from 80 psi to 65 and 50 psi thus reducing

water consumption by 10 – 25%

The water requirement for the proposed project will be 2164 KLD, and the fresh water

requirement is 1154 KLD which will be met from ground water. 1264 KLD waste water will be

generated from the project which will be treated in STP (1400KLD) and recycled within

premises for flushing, horticulture, Power gensets cooling, fire fighting and other low end

uses. The surplus quantity will be discharged into the nearby municipal sewer line;

necessary permission would be taken from the concerned authority before discharge of the

same.

Quality Standards

The objective of Water Works Management is to ensure that the water supplied is free from

pathogenic organisms, clear, palatable and free from undesirable taste and odour, of

reasonable temperature, neither corrosive nor scale forming and free from minerals which

could produce undesirable physiological effects. The establishment of minimum standards of

quality for public water supply is of fundamental importance in achieving this objective. The

physical and chemical quality of drinking water shall be in accordance with the

recommended guidelines. Parameters for analysis of water quality were selected based on

the utility of the particular source of water as per MoEF guidance. Hence quality of ground

Fig. 2.1: Water Balance

PARAMARSH




water was compared with IS: 10500 for drinking purposes and surface water quality were

compared with CPCB Water Quality Criteria against A, B, C, D & E classes of water.

Water Supply

Underground tanks shall be provided in the proposed project for domestic and firefighting

purposes. The water shall be distributed through gravity system from the respective

overhead tanks. Network of distribution system is planned on the basis of closed loops, so

that a specific pocket gets water from minimum two points. In case one point is under repair,

the entire distribution system will not be affected.

The water will be boosted from central underground storage tank to overhead tanks over

building roofs by hydro-pneumatic pumps. By using hydro-pneumatic pump set of variable

drive, the same set of pumps will be used for a group of buildings by single supply feeder.

2.3 Salient Features of Sewerage System

2.3.1 Sewerage System

Sanitary sewage is mostly the spent water of the community draining into the sewer system

with some ground water and a fraction of storm run-off from the area, draining into it. The

sewers should be capable of receiving the maximum discharge expected at the end of

design period.

Since it is both difficult and uneconomical to augment the capacity of the system at a later

date, sewers are usually designed for the maximum expected discharge to meet the

requirement of the ultimate development of the area. A design period of 30 years for all

types of sewers is usually considered.

2.5 Storm Water Drainage System

Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater

collected from the rooftop, green & paved areas will be conveyed into the rainwater

harvesting system consisting of desilting-cum-filter chamber and bore wells for recharge into

the groundwater. RWH will be initially done only from the roof top. Runoff from green and

other open areas will be done only after permission from CGWB. No demand will be met

from the process.

Analysis of the observed data on intensity and duration of rainfall of past records over a

period of years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for

given frequencies. The longer the record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In

Indian conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 15 mm/hr to

PARAMARSH




30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 30

mm/hr.

Bio-degradable waste will be subjected to composting and the compost will be used

as manure.

Horticultural waste is proposed to be composted and will be used for gardening

purposes. The cropped grass will be spread on the green area. It will act as manure

after decomposition.

Recyclable wastes:

Recyclable waste like paper, plastics, and metals will be sold to the authorized recycler of

the area.

2.6.3 Disposal

Generated solid waste shall be segregated & collected on common solid waste collection

center at site, from where it will be transported to the nearest landfill site by the hired waste

management/municipal agency for their treatment and disposal. However, the MSW

management approach will be towards zero landfill by reducing the amount of inert waste.

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Before the start of any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary to identify

the baseline levels of relevant environmental parameters, which are likely to be affected as a

result of the construction and operation of the planned project. A similar approach has been

adopted for conducting the EIA study for the proposed project. The planning of the baseline

survey through secondary sources, commenced with the short-listing of impacts and

identification of parameters for which the data needs to be collected. This section assesses

the nature, type and dimensions of the study area and describes the relevant physical and

biological environmental components of the project site.

Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of life and degradations of land due to

industrialization, urbanization and population growth is a matter of concern. Therefore, it is

necessary to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize the land use as well as

minimize degradation due to the developmental activities.

Mathura is situated at 27.28°N 77.41°E, on the bank of Yamuna River. It has an average

elevation of 174 meters (570 feet).

3.1.3 Drainage

The entire city consisting of trans Yamuna area and trans Highway area (regulated area as

proposed in Master Plan 2021 by MVDA) has been divided into six drainage zones shown in

the figure below.

Fig. 3.1: Drainage zones in Mathura region.

PARAMARSH




3.1.4 Topography

Mathura is fairly flat, gradually sloping towards the river.

3.1.5 Land Use

Master Plan of 2021 takes into account the requirements of urban population of 22.5 lakh as

estimated by 2021 (Master plan 2021) and focusing on city‟s historical and archaeological

significance. The total future land requirement for the city is 20036.97 hectare. There is mix

land use with maximum residential areas, industrial setup and large tract of agricultural land

with some wasteland.

Fig 3.2: Land Use of Mathura Development Area.

3.1.6 Seismo-Tectonic Appraisal of the Area

According to Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) data, the area under

study falls in Zone-III. It is very important to take this fact in consideration during designing

of the structural components of the project in the construction phase. The depth of the

foundation, footing of the structural components, the bending moment calculations shall

adhere to the criteria of seismic load. The seismological map of the project site is shown in

Figure 3.2.

PARAMARSH




Fig 3.3: Seismological Map Locating Project Site

3.2 Water Environment

Ground water status

Ground water conditions in the area are good and ground water is available at shallow

depths. Excessive canalization, induced seepage from canals, low permeability of soils and

lack of well-defined drainage has resulted in shallowing of water table. The unconfined

aquifers in the study area occur near the surface. The ground water resources are also

exploited for domestic and irrigation purposes through a number of open dug wells, hand

pumps and tube-wells seen in the study area.

Quality of Surface Water (Yamuna River) in Mathura

Mathura was inhabited due to the presence of River Yamuna like most of the other cities

which have grown close to a freshwater source. River Yamuna is the only natural surface

water source for Mathura and has been polluted up to larger extents due to mismanagement

of wastewater. Large amounts of wastewater are dumped into the river every day, sapping it

of oxygen and killing fishes and ecosystem and have lead to low D.O. levels in the river.

Several nallahs discharge million liters of sewage per day directly into the river, of which,

only small quantity sewage is treated, contributing heavily to the pollution load of the river.

Proposed

site

PARAMARSH




Sewages and drains are blocked due to encroachment along the drainage systems and due

to disposal of solid wastes. Table 3.4 illustrates the physical-chemical characters of the

water quality of Yamuna River.

3.3 Climate and Meteorology

Climate and meteorology of a place can play an important role in the implementation of any

developmental project. Meteorology is also the key to understand local air quality, as there is

an essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersion involving wind in

the broadest sense of the term.

Mathura features a semiarid climate that borders on a humid subtropical climate. In Mathura,

summers are extremely hot, while the weather during winter remains cold and foggy at times.

During the Monsoon season, Mathura city receives normal rains and the weather becomes hot

and humid.

Summers (April to June) are hot and temperature reaches 46 0C

Monsoons (June to October) rain showers are expected, with heavy rains in July

Winters (November to March) are very cool and temperature can touch as low as 2 °C

and are accompanied by thick fogs prohibiting travels due to poor visibility

PARAMARSH




Relative Humidity: During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and

after the withdrawal of the monsoon humidity decreases. The mean monthly maximum

relative humidity in the morning of August month is 84% and mean monthly minimum relative

humidity measured in the morning of May is 41%.

3.3.2 Wind Speed and Direction

Wind direction and speed are the most critical metrological parameters, as they govern the

dispersion of pollutants. Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind

blows and is based on surface observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows

in all directions, with varying frequencies. Certain directions occur more frequently than

others, which are known as the prevailing wind directions.

Winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It can be seen that the annual mean wind

speed varies from 0.8 to 14.2 km/h. The prominent wind direction is East and South east.

3.3.3 Temperature

The average lowest temperature recorded was 7.7 0C on January 2012 and the average

highest was 41.7 0C on May, 2012. The annual mean of maximum and minimum

temperature was 32.470C and 18.910C, respectively. It is observed that from February, the

ambient temperature gradually rise till May, which is the hottest month of the year with a

mean maximum and minimum of 41.70C and 28.90C, respectively.

3.3.4 Precipitation

Precipitation plays a role in the mitigation of pollutants from air to land, and can minimize or

eliminate wind erosion. Normal Precipitation is received during monsoon months i.e. June to

September. The average annual precipitation is 722.8 mm. The rainiest month is August and

the driest month is November.

PARAMARSH

3.4 Noise Environment

Noise attributed to roads, depends on factors such as traffic intensity, the type and condition

of the vehicles plying on the road, acceleration/deceleration/gear changes by the vehicles

depending on the level of congestion and smoothness of road surface (IRC: 104-1988).

High noise levels are a concern for sensitive receptors, i.e., hospitals, educational

institutions, etc. Noise is an area of concern and the high noise levels may be attributed to

vehicular movement and congestion on the roads as well as on-going construction work

around the area.

3.6 Socio Economic Environment

This section discusses the baseline scenario of the socio-economic environment in the study

area and anticipated impacts of the proposed project on the socio-economic environment.

The issues under focus in this chapter are demographic structure, economic activity,

education and literacy profile, land use and infrastructure resources. The assessment

attempts to predict and evaluate the future impacts of project upon people, their physical and

psychological health and well being, their economic facilities, cultural heritage, lifestyle and

other value system.

Population and Demographic Pattern

Mathura is considered as the tourism place of Uttar Pradesh. Occupational patterns have

changed with increasing emphasis on the manufacturing and tertiary sector and a visible

PARAMARSH




shift away from the primary sector, though the economic conditions of the local people have

not improved much. Status of Mathura district is shown in Table 3.8.

Source: Census 2011

The Mathura district is divided into 4 tehsils and 10 blocks. Total number of Nayay

Panchayats in the district is 89 while Gram Sabhas stands at 479. The total populated

villages are 880. The total numbers of police stations in the district are 23 out of which 15

are in urban area and 8 are in rural area. The total numbers of railway stations (including

halts) are 20 and bus stands/bus stops are 107. Total number of broad gage line is 162 km.

and meter gage is 12 km.

Hinduism, Islam, and Jainism are three major religions in Mathura district with 89.6%,

8.93%, and 0.51% of the population following them. Jatavs, Baniyas and Jats are most

numerous castes in Mathura. 52.5% of Mathura's population is in the 15–59 years age

category. Around 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. Hindi is the most widely

spoken language in Mathura.

Economic activity and livelihood pattern

The relevance of economic activity and livelihood pattern is important in the context of the

study since one of the direct benefits of the proposed project is job opportunity and high

economic activity during the construction as well as operation phase. Depending on the

existing situation, one can predict the impact of the project activity on the economy of the

village and the region.

Basic Infrastructure Facilities in Villages

All the villages lying in the study area are well connected by pitched roads. All the villages

have at least one primary school, primary health centre, post office and few branches of

nationalized bank. All the villages are connected by telephone and electricity grid.

PARAMARSH




Infrastructural Facility in the study area

The study area is well equipped with education, medical facility, drinking water,

communication, approach roads and irrigation.

Education

The study area has good educational facility. The urban part of the study area has very good

network of schools, colleges. There are several universities, technical colleges spread over

the area.

Public Health

Available medical facilities in the study area are hospitals, dispensaries, health centers,

public health sub centers, maternity homes etc. within a range of 5-10 km, most of the

villages in the study area have medical facility available in one or the other.

Transport and Communication

Transport accessibility is one of the important factors required for the overall development of

the area. Transportation and communication facility needs to be strengthened before any

major development process can be established. Apart from P&T services, transport is the

main communication linkage in the study area. All most the entire study area has access to

good transport system including bus services.

Irrigation & Cropping Pattern

The district is not drought prone. There are a large number of wells for irrigation. Even

though the farmers have these facilities, yet they are largely dependent on the monsoons for

a successful crop.

Agro climatically, it is classified as rich Rice-Wheat zone. The land is cultivated just for

sustenance of life, the net result being the products of poor market value. Minimum low yield

harvests are obtained, which can only provide sustenance with. In general, illiteracy, along

with erratic monsoon, is the major factors to such survival-oriented cropping pattern.

Paddy and maize/jowar is the major crop of the area during Kharif season, while Wheat,

Gram, Barely, Camphor and Arhar crops follow in Rabi season or the fields are kept fallow

for next season. During Rabi season a mixed cropping pattern is followed. Source of

irrigation in area is mainly ground water and canal.

CHAPTER 4

IMPACT IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT

Prediction of the impacts due to the development, construction and functional activities

encompass the development process to be undertaken during construction and functional

phases. For each category of environmental receptor (such as, ambient air quality, water

quality, soils, land, etc) the potential impacts of activities during development & construction

and functional phases and magnitude of the impacts have been assessed and discussed in

detail in following sub sections. In each case, cognizance has been taken to mitigation

measures inherited in the development, construction and functional phase (Source: Ground

Water Scenario in India, CGWB, 2011).

4.1 Pollution Sources

Pollutants generated in the development of proposed integrated township during both

construction and functional phases are solid, liquid and gaseous in nature. Also the

generation of pollution could be continuous, periodic or accidental. Sources of pollutants and

their characteristics during the construction and functional phase are given in Table 4.1.

4.3 Assessment of Environmental Impacts during Development and Construction

Phase

4.3.1 Water Quality during the Construction Phase

A. Impacts on Surface Water Quality

The project site area falls in the drainage basin of Hindan and Yamuna rivers. These water

bodies were irrigation source for the agricultural activities before the urbanization. It may be

observed that the rainwater from the project site shall be recharged to ground water by rain

water harvesting pit. Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff

from the project site. The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased

soil erosion from excavated site only cause to increase in the suspended particles and

turbidity of runoff water from the site. However, this impact will be temporary in the nature

and would be observed in first rain only and as soon as rain is over, excavated soil at site

would be stabilized. Therefore, the surface water quality during rains would be impacted

marginally for very short duration.

B. Impacts on Groundwater Quality

No hazardous chemical and material will be used in the development and construction

phase of a project. Debris and wastes generated during this phase will be collected and

disposed suitable. Therefore, possibility of contamination of ground water will be negligible.

Hence, no impact is anticipated on the ground water quality during the construction phase.

PARAMARSH




4.3.2 Air Quality

A. Emission Sources during the Construction Phase

The potential sources of air emissions during the construction and development phase of the

project will be as follows:

Dust from earth works (during site preparation)

Emissions from power gen sets at site

Emissions from the operation of construction equipment and machines

Fugitive emissions from vehicles running to site

Fugitive emissions during the unloading of material at the site

Fugitive emissions during mixing of cement with other building materials during

development and construction activities

Air emissions other than dust arise from combustion of hydrocarbons. The pollutants of

concerns are NO2, SO2, CO and particulate matter

B. Potential Impacts

The likely impacts on air environment during construction phase have been identified in the

form of “Impact Matrix” in Table 4.5.

Ambient air quality effects are normally assessed in relation to their potential to cause

Health deterioration and nuisance in local communities

Health deterioration amongst onsite workers

C. Assessment of the Impacts Due to Dust Emissions

During the excavation of channels, foundations, unloading of construction material, cement

bags and mixing of cement with other building materials, fugitive dust emissions may be

emitted at construction site. It may be noted that these emissions would be in the form of

coarse particulate matter and will be settled down ultimately in the closed vicinity of

construction site. Therefore, no significant impact is anticipated due to dust emission during

development and construction phase.

D. Assessment of the Impact Due to power gensets

Emissions from the power gensets during construction phase may cause some localized

impact on ambient air quality for short duration, as these will be operated during power

PARAMARSH




failure only. It may be noted that the power gensets will be used to operate construction

equipment only if required.

Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the power gensets as per guidelines of MoEF

(as per the Gazette of India Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (I) No. 318, dated July 11,

2002, is given below, refer table no. 4.3) to facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into the

atmosphere.

Table 4.4: power gensets Stack height (Provided)

Nos. Capacity of

generator set (kVA)

Stack Height Provided (m)

10 1250 7.0 m + building height

4.3.3 Noise

During the construction phase of project, noise will be generated from the various sources.

Some major sources of noise generation at project site are listed here under:

Generation of noise during movement of vehicles carrying materials and loading &

unloading activities.

Generation of noise from excavation machines, concrete mixer and other construction

machines.

Generation of noise during the operation of Power gensets

Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.

All the above-mentioned sources at proposed development and construction activities will be

intermittent and would be experienced occasionally.

4.3.4 Economic Impacts

Relatively long-lived economic impacts of the development and construction phase are likely

to be experienced in local area for the duration of construction phase of 2 to 3 years as

workers make everyday purchases from local traders in nearby areas. This is likely to give a

PARAMARSH




short-lived stimulus to the traders that may disappear as soon as the construction is

complete. Noticeable, flow-on economic impacts will be experienced in other sectors of

economy as a result of purchase of construction materials and the payment of wages and

salaries to the personnel engaged in the development and construction of commercial

Complex. Once the development and construction of proposed complex will complete, there

will be some long-term positive impact on the economic structure of the area. People in the

area will get direct / indirect employment opportunities and other benefits from the residents

of the proposed complex. Therefore, overall positive impact is anticipated on economy of the

area due to development and construction activity of the proposed project.

4.3.5 Socio-Economic

During the development and construction of proposed project, about 300 to 350 skilled,

semiskilled and unskilled workers per day will get direct employment opportunity, which will

have beneficial impact on the socio-economic conditions of the area.

4.3.6 Construction Camp

During the development and construction phase most of the labour will be coming from local

areas, as proposed project will develop gradually in the time span of 2 to 3 years.

Therefore, no labour camp will be constructed to accommodate the laborers at the project

site. Suitable measures will be taken for their welfare at the site to mitigate anticipated

impacts.

4.4 Assessment of the Environmental Impacts during Post Construction Phase

4.4.1 Impact on Surface Water Resources

During the post construction phase, no water will be taken from water bodies in the area.

Further, adequate drainage pattern will be provided during development of site for runoff

movement. The sewage effluents generated from the project would be collected through the

sewer line network provided in the project. Collected sewage effluents will be discharged into

municipal sewers. Therefore, impact on the surface water hydrology will be insignificant

during the post construction phase.

4.4.2 Impact on Ground Water Resources

During post operational phase, the ultimate water requirement has been calculated as

2164KLD including domestic and other usages. The fresh water requirement will be met

through the ground water. The developers shall make internal distribution network of water

within the complex. Under ground water tank of required capacity will be provided in the

complex and then distributed through overhead tanks provided on the building top by gravity

flow in the houses of colony.

PARAMARSH




As gathered from secondary data, plenty of ground water sources in the area are available.

Further, rainwater harvesting will also recharge groundwater aquifers. As groundwater

abstraction is not proposed therefore no impact is anticipated on ground water resources

due to proposed project.

4.4.3 Impact on Surface Water Quality

The sewage effluents generated from the integrated township will be collected through the

sewer line network provided in scheme and the collected sewage effluents will be treated in

STP of the proposed project. Treated water will be recycled for various uses including

flushing, horticulture, and power gensets cooling and other low end uses. The surplus

quantity would be discharged in the municipal sewer. Necessary permission shall be taken

from municipal authority. Therefore, anticipated impacts on the surface water quality during

post construction phase would be trivial in the nature.

4.4.4 Impact on Ground Water Quality

The proposed integrated township will be well maintained and adequate measures will be

taken for the following:

Proper solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed.

Sewage effluent generated from colony will be collected through the sewage line

network and discharged into municipal sewers.

Therefore, possibility of ground water contamination will be negligible at proposed project.

Hence, no significant impacts are anticipated on the ground water quality during post

construction phase of integrated township.

4.4.5 Impact on Air Emissions Sources

Increased traffic generation due to project is not going to cause significant increase in

atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation. The minor

impacts of emissions from traffic will be neutralized by developing a thick green belt along

the periphery and internal road side.

During construction phase, dust emissions will be the main pollutants associated within on-

site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles and material handling. Regular water sprinkling

will be done and construction material will be transferred in trucks covered with tarpaulin.

The other major source of pollution during operational phase will be emissions from power

gensets. To minimize the effect of emissions, adequate stack height as per CPCB standards

will be provided.

PARAMARSH




During the post construction phase, vehicular emissions will be major sources of air pollution

on approach road, bypass road and will depend upon the traffic density on the road at

particular time. Quantum and dispersion of pollution from vehicular emission will depend

upon the following:

Volume of traffic at the roads

Meteorological conditions.

Emission sources from automobile engines (LPG/CNG)

NO2 and SO2 from the vehicular emissions will be pollutants of primary concern. The

dispersion of vehicular emissions would be confined within up to 100 m from the road and

concentration will decrease with the increase in distance from road. It is anticipated that the

contribution of vehicular emissions in ambient air quality will be marginal and below the

stipulated National Ambient Air Quality Standards for NO2 (60µg/m3). In the integrated

township, green belt will be developed in the form of parks and along the internal roads,

which will also work as barrier for the movement of pollutants. Required capacity power

gensets will be provided in case of power failure. Heights of stacks attached to Power

gensets will be as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to

facilitate natural dispersion to exhaust gases, discharged into the atmosphere form power

gensets.

4.4.6 Impact on Noise

During the post construction phase, no major source of noise generation is anticipated.

Acoustic enclosures will be fitted with Power gensets to control the noise levels therefore

noise generated from Power gensets will be mingled within the short distance. Adequate

personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to be personnel engaged in power

gensets room.

4.4.7 Socio-economic Impact

During post construction of proposed project, about more than 100 persons will get direct

employment opportunity to be engaged in management, maintenance and security. As an

estimate, during post construction phase, more than 2000 persons will get marginal

employment opportunities from the integrated township. This will help in improving the

quality of life of economically weaker sections of the local area

4.4.8 Impact on Aesthetics, Sensitive Targets

The surrounding vicinity shall be aesthetically improved as far as possible.

CHAPTER 5

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

5.1 Preamble

The Environmental Management Plan consists of the set of mitigation measures,

management, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and

operation to eliminate adverse environmental impacts, offset them or reduce them to

acceptable levels. The present Environmental Management Plan addresses the components

of environmentally affected area during construction of the project and by the different

activities forming part of the processes.

In the process of project planning, an EMP needs to be formulated to ensure that resources

are used with maximum efficiency, waste minimized, residuals are treated adequately and

products are recovered and recycled to the extent possible. The overall strategy should not

cut down pollution control costs but should also result in savings in the cost of operation.

Welfare associations, formed by the participation of people in the proposed project, can

greatly assist in proper management of project.

EMP during Construction Phase

Control of pollution during construction phase, is of considerable importance. Waste

generated from construction activity includes construction debris, waste from the labor tents,

and hazardous waste management. Besides waste generation, management of topsoil,

traffic movement, operation of construction equipments and power gensets, site security and

aesthetical development of green area and roadside plantation are some areas for which

management measures are required. The following aspects of construction activity require

control measures during the construction phase:

5.1.1 Site Preparation

The clearance of site will involve removal of some rain-fed vegetation and weeds. A very

little cutting or filling will be required as the site is fairly plain and devoid of any water body or

low laying area. Construction of basement and foundation will require excavation of earth

material. Top soil (fertile) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping, Green

turfing and horticultural development. 100% of total excavated earth will be reutilized into

backfilling, leveling and road construction.

PARAMARSH



Fig. 5.1: Excavated Soil Management Strategy.

Other measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and contamination include:

Maximize use of topsoil for landscaping and avoid excavation during monsoon season.

Care should be taken to avoid soil erosion.

To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers shall be used for

storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/grease handling area

shall be drained through impervious drains and treated appropriately before 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).

5.1.2 Construction Debris

As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of this waste

by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and reduced

extraction of raw material for new construction activity. Recycled aggregate will be used for

filler application, and as sub-base for road construction. Metal scrap from structural steel,

piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work shall be removed from the site by

construction contractors. A significant portion of wood scrap would be reused on site.

Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc shall be sold to

recyclers. Concrete & plastic wastes will be used for road construction.

5.1.3 Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste generated during construction phase shall be stored-in sealed containers,

labeled, and disposed off as required by the Hazardous Wastes Management and Handling

Act Amendment Rules (MoEF, 2003).

PARAMARSH



Some management practices to be developed are:

Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and greenbelt development.

Paint brushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be cleaned within a

contained area and shall not be allowed to contaminate site soils, watercourses, or

drainage systems.

Preference of low VOC and water-based paints.

Provide adequate hazardous waste storage facilities, hazardous waste collection

containers are conveniently located, and designate hazardous waste storage areas

away from storm drains or watercourses.

Potentially hazardous waste shall be segregated from non-hazardous construction site

debris.

All hazardous waste shall be clearly labeled.

5.1.4 Waste from Labor Settlements and Biomass

Construction activity involves some workforce to stay at site. Local labours shall be

employed to the maximum possible extent so that resident labor is not required or minimum.

The latter will require basic infrastructure welfare facilities like housing, sanitation and other

essential services. The proposed site shall be provided with suitable sanitation facilities like

supply of potable water and sanitary latrines to allow proper standards of hygiene. Solid

waste generated would mainly comprise of household domestic waste, which shall be

collected and disposed off at the nearest municipal waste collection site.

5.1.5 Handling of Construction Equipment

Vehicles deployed for construction work, transportation of debris and other machinery at site

shall be properly handled to minimize emissions of particulates and gaseous pollutants. The

vehicle‟s maintenance shall be monitored regularly so as to avoid noise pollution and

accidental spillage of oils and greasy matters. Loading and unloading operations and

movement of trucks shall be properly regulated to minimize the impact of noise on the

persons engaged in civil, mechanical and erection works.

5.1.6 Management of Environmental Parameters

along the internal roads and boundaries of the site shall be carried out side-by-side of the

construction work. Plantation will improve the quality of soil and enhance the aesthetics.

D. Noise Environment

Noise resulting from operation of construction machinery may constitute an additional

environmental stress. In case a source is found making significantly higher noise, immediate

action shall be taken to bring down its noise to a tolerable limit. Workers employed in high

noise areas will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs or other hearing protective wear will be provided

to those working very close to the noise generating machinery. Proper maintenance of

construction equipments shall be done at regular interval.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

6.0 Introduction

Disasters continue to strike unabated, without notice and are perceived to be on the increase

in their magnitude, complexity, frequency and economic impact. These hazards pose a

threat to the people, structures or economic assets and assume disastrous proportions when

they occur in areas of dense human habitations.

6.1 Disaster occurs due to

a) Emergencies on account of

Fire

Explosion

Electrocution

b) Natural calamity on account of

Earthquake

Lightning

Storm

Epidemics

6.2 Need and Objectives of Disaster Management Plan

The Disaster Management Plan is designed to:

Anticipate the types of disasters that are most likely to occur;

Identify the possible effects of any disaster that may occur;

Identify the preventative and mitigating strategies to deal with any possible

disaster;

Involve all role players in a coordinated manner to respond to the challenges

posed in disaster situations;

Procure essential goods and services for disaster management;

Identify the weaknesses in respect of capacity and skills to deal effectively with

disaster situations;

PARAMARSH



Provide essential training in skills and to promote awareness and preparedness in

respect of the occurrence of disasters; and

Plan in advance the relief operations that may be required or to be exercised in

disaster situations.

6.3 Identification and Assessment of Hazards

This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires

systematically identifying what emergencies could arise. These should range from small

events, which can be dealt with plant personnel without outside help to the largest event for

which it is practical to have a plan. Experience has shown that for every occasion that the full

potential of an accident is realized, there are many occasions when some freak event occurs

or when a developing incident is made safe before reaching full potential.

The assessment of possible incidents should produce a report indicating the

worst events considered

The route to those worst events

The time scale to lesser events along the way

The size of lesser events if their development is halted

The relative likelihood of events

The consequences of each event

6.3.1 Disaster Preventive Measures

It is not easy to control any disaster if contingency plans are not available. For effective

control of disaster, adequate manpower, technical know- how, alertness and internal help

are the prime requirements. It is always better to take preventive measures to avoid any

disaster. In the proposed project following prevention measures will be taken to prevent

disaster:

Design, manufacture and construction of the building will be as per national and

international codes as applicable in specific cases and lay down by the

appropriate statutory authorities.

Routes for escape during disaster are provided.

(iii) Guidelines for Disaster Management Plan

A Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is formulated for better and safe management. The

DMP will include the following elements:

Assessment of the size and nature of the events foreseen and the probability of

their occurrence

Formulation of the plan and liaison with authorities, including the emergency

services

Appointment of key personnel and their duties and responsibilities

PARAMARSH



Action on-site

Action off-site

6.4 Appointment of Personnel and Definition of Duties

Effective emergency plans require that, in the event of an accident, nominated individuals be

given specific responsibilities, often separate from their day-to-day activities. The two

principal people are the site incident controller and the site main controller. Senior

management personnel will be appointed to act as site main controller and personnel junior

to him as site incident controller. The site incident controller will take control of the incident.

The responsibilities of the site incident controller include the following:

To assess the scale of the incident (both for internal & external emergency);

To initiate the emergency procedures to secure the safety of persons and

minimize loss of material;

To direct rescue and fire-fighting operations until (if necessary) the fire brigade

arrives;

To search for casualties;

To arrange evacuation of the building;

To assume the responsibilities of the site main controller pending his or her

arrival; and

To provide advice and information as requested to the emergency services.

The site main controller will be chosen from the senior management of the works with

general responsibility of directing operations from the emergency control center after

relieving the site incident controller of the responsibility for overall control. The specific

responsibilities of the site main controller include:

To decide (if not decided already) whether a major emergency exists or is likely,

requiring the emergency services and the off-site emergency plan.

Continually to review and assess possible developments to determine the most

probable course of events.

To ensure that casualties are receiving adequate attention.

To liaise with Chief Officers of the fire and police services.

To arrange for a log of the emergency to be maintained.

To issue authorized statements to the news media.

To control rehabilitation of affected areas after the emergency.

6.4.1 Procedure for Treatment

First aid parties will render first aid to casualties at the place of occurrence and those

requiring further treatment would be transported to the nearest hospital by ambulance. The

following phone numbers will be prominently displayed in the proposed academic block:

PARAMARSH



Fire Office

Police Station

Nearest Hospital

District Administration

First Aid

It is necessary to give first aid to the persons injures in the disaster. Doctor and paramedical

staff will be made ready during emergency. There will be adequate first aid facility available

to meet the workload.

Repair Services

Repair of damaged parts of the buildings will be taken up. Essential public utility services viz.

water, electricity and sewerage system will be maintained in the case of a disaster.

Fire Fighting Services

Required fire fighting arrangements will be provided in the proposed academic block. All

regulations for prevention of fire will be enforced. The following provisions will be made like

Automatic Fire Alarm and Detection System, Manual Fire Alarm and Sprinkler System.

Following three teams will be created:

Fire Fighting Team

Rescue / Salvage Team

Picket / Cordon Party

In case of emergency different teams will perform the following duties:

a) Duties of fire fighting team

On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire

Try to rush the fire with the help of fire extinguishers, hose reels and hydrants

(internal / external)

Act as per the directions of fire officers at site

The members of fire fighting teams shall enter the building in pairs

The exit routes shall be marked

Do not open the doors / windows, it will fan the fire

Direct the jet of water at the seat of fire

If the room is full with smoke, do not walk in it. Tie a wet cloth on mouth and crawl

towards the exit

Help in fire fighting to the Fire Brigade Personnel

b) Duties of Rescue/Salvage Plan

On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire

Rescue the trapped person if any inside the building

Salvage the important documents / materials and keep them away at a safer place

c) Duties of Picket / Cordon Party

On hearing the fire alarm reach the site of accident

Cordon the area of fire (building involved in fire) as some miscreants tries to steal the

material

Do not allow to crowd the persons who are not the members of fire frightening

/salvage / rescue party

Keep vigil on all persons assembled at the site

d) Traffic Control

The free movement of the fire vehicle and ambulance at the scene of fire/emergency is very

important and therefore, the security personnel on the duty ensure that all the roads at the

scene of fire/emergency are kept clear and free from obstruction. Persons arriving by motor

transport at the scene of fire / emergency will not be allowed to park their vehicle within 100

meters of fire.
