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).

Existing Facilities There will not be any significant impacts from the proposed activity on the existing facilities

adjacent to the proposed site, as the proposed project is reconstruction/ modernization of the old

Bus Terminal.

Anticipated Negative Impacts: All construction activities will be confined within the project area.

There will be no physical changes outside the project boundary. Development and Construction of

proposed project will be done as per applicable norms/byelaws. Hence, negative impacts on

adjacent existing facilities would be minimal, if any.

Anticipated Positive Impacts: There will not be any disturbance to the local ecology as the selected

site for the construction is a pre-existing bus stand. Moreover, landscaping with local plant species

in post construction phase will restore the existing ecological condition in near future. So there will

be no permanent adverse impact on existing ecological conditions due to proposed project.

This will help in improving micro-climate of the area and will have positive impact on the

surrounding.


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

Proposed project will require manpower during construction and operation phase thereby creating

job opportunities and improving the socio-economic conditions of the area.

No rare or endangered species of fauna are reported to exist in the area. Care will be taken to

minimize the disturbance to local ecology.

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). Soil Type:

� Type of soil: sandy clay

� There will be no land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence or instability.

Slope Analysis:

� The area is plain and subsoil strata are alluviums deposited by water courses, geologically

the litho log sections show dominant of sand percentage. There will be no significant land

disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability.

Vulnerability to Subsidence:

� There is no subsidence reported in the area. To avoid instability during excavation, shoring

will be done.

� Project will provide green belt along project boundary. Therefore, problems of soil

erosion, subsidence etc. are greatly reduced.

Seismicity:

� The area is classified as Zone III as per the BIS classification. The building design will be

made with earthquake resistant design structure. Structure with ductile detailing is

considered as per IS: 13920-1993.

� The seismological and natural hazard map of India is shown in Fig 3.

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).

Contour map shows that the highest elevation level of proposed site is 123 m and its slope tends

towards north of project site. In post construction phase the direction of the natural drainage will

be maintained.

There will be no alteration of natural Drainage System. The LDA has already developed and

constructed a system of drains.

The runoff generated from roof top will be used for ground water recharging through rain water

harvesting system. There will be no alteration to natural drainage system. The drainage pattern of

the site is in line with the natural drainage system.

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.). It is estimated that approximately 1,50,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initial

construction phase for foundations & basement. 60-70% of excavated soil will be re-used for back

filling and landscaping. Very little cutting, filling and reclamation etc. will be done as the site is

fairly plain with an average elevation of 123 m. The soil excavated during construction will be first

temporarily stored in an area earmarked and then shall be used to fill up low lying areas around the

project site, landscaping & road construction and rest of the soil shall be transported to the

designated disposal site in tune with the local norms. Proper drainage system will be provided to

deal with the storm water in case of rains during construction.

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

• Source of water:


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

12

• 1. Treated water from the CSTP will be the primary source of water requirement during

construction phase through hired tankers.

• 2. Fresh water will be utilized through existing municipal connections during operation.

• Demolition & Construction Debris (Bricks, Cement, Concrete and Mortar) generated will

be reused in road construction, backfilling and leveling, spare debris (if any) will be

disposed off as per the norms.

• Ready mix concrete will be used.

• The fertile top soil will be reused for horticultural purpose.

• Spillage of oil from the machineries will be properly collected and disposed off.

• Proper Sanitary facilities and wash area will be provided and good hygienic conditions will

be maintained throughout the construction phase.

• Septic tank with soak pit or mobile toilets shall be provided to take care of waste water

generated from site (labor camps and site office) & disposed through municipal sewers.

• Domestic solid waste generated will be managed as per MSW (M & H) Rules 2000.

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).

A nala runs parallel to the site, along its north-west boundary. However, it shall not be affected/

altered due to any project related activities. Project activities shall be confined to project site only

and will be in accordance with the landuse of the area as per LDA. Some short term, reversible

impacts may be predicted in construction and operation phase (such as dust, flue gas emissions)

which shall be dealt in EMP.

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) Demolition Waste:

As per TIFAC, during demolition, 300-500 kg of waste is generated per sqm of built area. The

built up area of existing bus stand is 86423.03 m2, accordingly, 1825 Tonnes of demolition waste

is anticipated to be generated. The waste generated may be used for back filling or may be handed

over to waste collection agency. The various types of demolition waste anticipated to be generated

onsite are:

1. Concrete: Structural elements of building having reinforced concrete, foundations having

mass non-reinforced concrete. Excavations will produce topsoil, clay, sand, and gravel.


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

13

This may be either re-used as filler at the same site after completion of excavation work or

moved to another site.

2. Large quantum of bricks and masonry will arise as waste during demolition. These will be

mixed with cement, mortar or lime.

3. Metal waste shall be generated during demolition in the form of pipes, conduits, and light

sheet material used in ventilation system, wires, and sanitary fittings and as reinforcement

in the concrete. Metals may be recovered and recycled.

4. Timber recovered in good condition from beams, window frames, doors, partitions and

other fittings will be reused.

5. Bituminous material arising from Road construction, water proofing compounds, Breaking

and digging of Roads for services and utilities.

6. Other miscellaneous materials that will arise as waste include glass, plastic material, paper,

etc.

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

• Excavated materials from earthworks (e.g. cuttings, basement excavation, foundation etc),

• General construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty

cement bags);

• Hazardous wastes generated by general site practices (e.g. vehicle and equipment

maintenance/ servicing); and

• Municipal wastes generated by site workers.

• Most of the construction waste will be reused in road construction and surplus will be sold

to recyclers.

Excavated Materials from Earthworks

It is estimated that approx. 1,50,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initial

construction for foundations & basement etc. Maximum percentage of excavated material will be

re-used within premises for different purposes. The excess earth would be handed over to other to

other government agency for road making, back filling etc.

Municipal Waste & Other waste

Municipal wastes comprise food wastes, packaging and waste paper. Generation rate of solid waste

from labour colony will vary from place to place due to habits and living condition. Approximately

0.25 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

or mobile toilets with STP.


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

14

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 and disposed off accordingly. The impact on soil during

construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature.

2.4 How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater? (Give the details of quantities, sources and usage).

About 60% of total water demand i.e. 308 KLD will be met from recycling of treated wastewater for Flushing, HVAC Cooling, Horticulture etc (as discussed in Table 8 & 9).

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, as the water is supplied through Municipal Corporation. Moreover, there is an existing water supply, as this is a pre-existing bus stand.

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). 405 KLD will be the total waste water generated, which will be treated in the STP of 500 KLD out

of which, 308 KLD will be treated up to tertiary treatment and recycled within premises for various

uses including Flushing, Horticulture, HVAC cooling and other miscellaneous uses and the spare

62KLD of secondary treated water will be discharged into municipal sewers.

No increase in pollution load expected.

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

facilities created.

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 and borewells for recharge into the groundwater. 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


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

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 40 mm/hr. The intensity of

precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 40 mm/hr for the project.

No. of Pits Required for Roof top rainwater harvesting:

Roof top Runoff = 284 m3/hr

Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 284/4= 71 m3

Hence No. of pits required = 71 / 37.68 = 1.88 pits or 2 pits

No. of pits Provided: 2

Note: RWH will be done only from the roof top. Harvesting from green and other open areas will

not be done owing to the fact that these may be contaminated by oil/ diesel/ petrol spillage, as the

proposed project is modernization/ reconstruction of a Bus Terminal.

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?

Since this is reconstruction/ modernization of a pre-existing bus stand, the paved area will remain

significantly unchanged. The run off during rains and the quality of runoff in terms of turbidity &

impurities will improve due to paved area. Maximum storm rainfall of 40 mm has been assumed on

the past experience. No adverse impacts are envisaged due to proposed project on the run off


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

21

characteristics of the area as adequate arrangements have been made to trap the rainwater and

suitable storm water drainage system has been provided.

There will be a negligible change in the surface run off coefficient in the pre construction phase

and post construction phase. The surface run off will be captured and used for harvesting so that

the ground water level is consistent. The storm water drains will be cleaned in the pre-monsoon

phase so that the water logging will be avoided.

During the post-construction phase, runoff from the project shall not be allowed to stand and create

water logging or enter into the road side or nearby drain. Adequate measures shall be taken to

collect such run off and either shall be reused or stored in recharging pits. Suitable garlanding drain

as per the existing contours of the plot will be developed. The project will not aggravate the

problems of flooding or water logging in any way, as the topography 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).

2 Rain Water harvesting and desilting chamber has been proposed in accordance with

drainage layout plan. Water will be sourced from municipal supply, which in turn is

supplied through bore wells in Alambagh.

• During construction phase, municipal supply &private water tankers will be used at

the site.

• The rain water collected from Roof top will be harvested for ground water recharging

through 2 nos. of RWH pits.

• A part of the area is under green or open land. 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). Effective measures will be adapted to reduce the storm water run-off from the construction site-

• Ensuring vehicles stick to the access track.

• Cleaning all mud and dirt deposited on roads from construction-related activities.

• Excavation work will not be carried out during monsoon season.

• Constructing a fence around the site to trap sediment whilst allowing water to flow through.

• Diverting up-slope water with turf and not mixing mortar in locations that will drain into

storm water system.

• Preventing wastewater from brick cutting activities and stockpiles entering the storm water

system.

• Construction material will be stored in temporary shed at the earmarked place and will be

covered ensuring that no leach ate or spoilage of land occurs.

• Curing water will be sprayed and, after liberal curing, all concrete structures will be painted

with curing compound & covered with gunny bags, then the water will be sprayed.

• Plantation of trees will start from construction phase. • No runoff will be disposed outside the project boundary except in rare conditions to

municipal drains.

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). During Construction phase, the storm water shall be channelized towards preexisting storm water

drains through temporary berms and dykes. Provision of a grit screens along the channel will

prevent deposition of soil, stones, grit and other construction material from being deposited in the

storm water drains.

During operation phase, 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 for rain water harvestings and ground water recharging. The storm

rainfall of 40 mm/hr. has been considered for designing the storm water drainage system.

A detailed storm water management plan will be developed which will consider the source of

storm water. The plan will incorporate the best management practices which will include the

following:

• Regular inspection & cleaning of storm water drains

• Cover waste storage area

• Avoid excavation during monsoon season.

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). Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from ongoing construction activity on site, which will be temporary in nature during the construction phase. All the waste will be collected at common waste collection point from where it will be picked by authorized agency for further treatment and disposal.

Mobile toilets will be installed onsite for construction labours. The sewerage will be disposed through septic tank and soak pit or to 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). Sewer network will be laid for collection of sewage keeping in view future demand, which will be

treated in an onsite State of Art design STP. 405KLD waste water will be generated from the

project which will be treated in the STP of 500 KLD capacity and the treated water will be utilized


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

24

within site for different purposes (Flushing, HVAC cooling, road/ bus/ tyre & Landscape

development). Spare treated water (upto Secondary Treatment) shall be discharged into municipal

sewers. The thickened sludge from the STP will be disposed off along with municipal solid waste

for composting by hired agency.

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

other use. Dual Plumbing will be provided for utilization of recycled water for flushing of toilets. Different color coded pipes will be provided for this purpose.

3.0VEGETATION

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).

No, the project will not pose any threat to the biodiversity of the locality. The project site is a pre-

existing bus stand. Also, as the project site does not contain any water body, therefore, no scope of

disturbance to the aquatic flora is envisaged. Moreover, project shall result in planting of trees

during the construction stage itself. The project envisages a positive impact with respect to upkeep

and maintenance of biodiversity of the area as a result of tree plantation. Details Flora and Fauna of

study area will be provide in Conceptual Plan.

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 at the site as the site is a pre-existing bus stand. Moreover, tree plantation will be initiated at site during initial construction phase, to nullify any impact envisaged such as dust, smoke emissions etc. The plant species will be preferably endemic and local with few ornamental varieties.

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). Adequate measures will be taken to minimize the likely impacts of the proposed project on the

surrounding as well as on the project site and are documented in the Environmental Management

Plan.

Total landscaped area proposed for project is 2002 m2 (Hard + Soft Green). A combination of

evergreen and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground covers will be planted along


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

25

the periphery & sides of the roads and in open spaces & setback area within the complex.

Landscape plan is shown in the Annexure-XVII.

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 surfaces, 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 20C to 2.50C

lower than that for adjacent un-shaded areas.

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

elevation and soil. The criteria are based on pollution mitigation capacity (including Particulate

matter), large leaf surface area, deep root system and less litter fall. Faster growing trees with

lighter canopy will be planted alternatively with relatively slow growing trees with wider canopy.

Trees of will be planted at 4.5 m intervals, 2.5 m away from the road curbing as per CPCB

guidelines. Trees will be planted along the periphery and roadside of the project. The list of plant

species, which can be suitably planted, and having significant importance are provided in Table-13.

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details. There will be a positive impact on the avifauna of the area. Due to the provision of plantation on the project site it is expected that site will attract avian 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).

� Increased traffic generation due to project is going to cause significant increase in concentration of gases especially in underground lower ground floor and may result in heat island formation. This shall be dealt by providing exhausts stacks ventilation in the basement and parking area.

� The impacts of emissions from traffic will be neutralized by developing a 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. The other major source of pollution during construction phase will be emissions from DG sets (2 x 1000 kVA).

� Regular water sprinkling will be done and construction material will be transferred in trucks covered with tarpaulin.

� During operational phase, major source of pollution will be vehicular (buses, cars, bikes, autos etc) &emissions from DG sets.

� Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the DG sets, if used, 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. 10) 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.

• During construction phase, smoke, odor or hazardous gasses will be generated from the project

at construction site/ premises. But this shall be localized, temporary and insignificant.

Necessary precautions such as water sprinkling, keeping construction material under bales/

tarpaulin, providing PPE to workers, planting of dust, smoke attenuating species, Use low-

VOC or water-based paints, stains, finishes etc. shall be done at site. Most of the concrete to be

used at site will be ready mix concrete available from nearby factories. No/ negligible negative

impact is anticipated outside of site. Detailed analysis of impacts and its mitigation is discussed

in EMP.

• During operation phase, smoke, odor or hazardous gasses will be generated due to the

operating buses, to and fro from site. Mostly, the buses will run on CNG fuel. Vehicular

movement due to visitors to malls, hotels, multiplexes, pick and drop at bus terminal &waste

collection will also result in generation of odorous fumes or other hazardous gases. This can be

minimized by encouraging privileged parking for PUC certified vehicles, well lit and spacious

driveways and bus bays to reduce bus idling time, monitoring age profile & maintenance

records of buses, maintaining a two row plantation around project site etc. Detailed analysis of

impacts and its mitigation is discussed in EMP.

other cultural values? What are the safeguards proposed?

Based on the nature and type of impacts, the assessment has been divided into three category i.e.

positive, negative and negligible impacts. For example the positive impacts are: job creation for

men and women, propoer utilization of land, preservation of environment, and infrastructure

development. Long term impacts have taken into account i.e. demography, aesthetics, accessing

utilities, and impact on archeological sites. Negative impacts include adverse impacts on health, air

pollution including noise, road safety, and odors. Negative impacts during construction and

operation shall be addressed in EMP.

Job opportunity: The key question in the area is employment opportunities that should be

generated in the area. The project envisages providing direct and indirect employment during both

construction and operation phase.


_______________________________________________________FORM1-A

Benefits to women: The proposed township is likely to generate jobs for the women labor during

construction as well desk jobs during operation phase.

Appreciation in land value:With the development of bus terminal and commercial complex coming

in the area the prices of the land will appreciate considerably. Hence the proposed project will have

beneficial impact.

Aesthetics Environment: The architectural character of the new building, the vistas and landscaped

areas created would improve the aesthetics of the area.

Transport: Additional traffic in the area is a matter of concern to the local people mostly during

construction phase. During operation phase, traffic will remain more or less unaffected on account of

site being a pre existing bus stand. The increase in traffic may be due to metro station which is

proposed adjacent to bus stand. The anticipated incremental traffic load may be adjusted as the

project lies on NH-25.

The incremental noise pollution due to movement of heavy & light vehicles, operation of DG sets

will be mitigated as per point 5.5.

Safeguards

The social management plan has been designed to take proactive steps and adopt best practices,

which are sensitive to the socio-cultural setting of the region.

Project as well as the land comprising the Project Site shall stand transferred to UPSRTC,

free from all encumbrances and in accordance with Good Industry Practices.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The proposed project is located at Alambagh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, planned on an area of

24253.89 m2. 1005.6 m2 of land has been transferred to LMRC for metro project. Therefore,

net plot available for development is 23248.29 m2.

1.5 Connectivity

The regional level linkages are vital for development of a new town. Being a capital of Uttar

Pradesh, Lucknow is will connected to major cities of the country. The linkages (road, rail

and air both for commute and freight) are well for quick uninterrupted access to the city.

The proposed project is reconstruction/ modernization of a pre-existing bus stand. The site is

well connected with road and rail network. Site lies on NH 25. NH 24B/ Rai Bareli Road- 3.5

km (SE), NH-28: 5.5 km (NE), NH- 56/ Sultanpur Road- 5 km (NE), NH-24/ Talkatora

Road: 1 km (SW) of the project site, Charbagh Railway Station – 1.5 km (N), Nearest Airport

is Lucknow Amausi- 6.0 Km (S). The new metro station is under construction with the bus

station for easy & quick transfer of passengers.

1.6 Necessity and Benefits of Project

Since last decades in India, cities are growing at a rapid pace and Lucknow is no exception.

Vast populations from small towns and other cities are coming to this area, for employment,

business, education and other pursuits. Apart from these, the population of the city is also

growing on account of high birth rates. In order to provide easy and low fare travel options,

UPSRTC provides regular and frequent connectivity to the people to and from Lucknow and

other major cities of Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states.

The proposed commercial complex having malls, retail shops, multiplexes, hotels etc. will

provide employment opportunities and will result in economic boom in the area.

The needs of the city are anticipated in the belief that infrastructure must precede

development. Thus, civic amenities and maintenance facilities should develop.

1.7 Objectives of the study

The objectives of the study are as follows:

• To describe the proposed project and associated works together with the requirements

for carrying out environment sustainability study of proposed development.

• To identify and describe the elements of the community and environment likely to be

affected by the proposed developments.

1.9 Need for Environmental Clearance

To safeguard the environment from adverse effects of developmental activities, MoEF has

issued some mandatory regulations. As per the notification S.O. 1533 E dated 14 Sept, 2006,

Environmental Impact Study (EIA) is mandatory for any construction projects with built-up

area of more than 1,50,000 m2. Since the built-up area of the present project is 86423.03 m2,

it does not require detailed EIA study, only clearance has been called for from concerned

authorities (SEAC) through the EIA Proposal consisting of Form 1, Form 1A and Conceptual

Plan. The study would facilitate M/s Shalimar Malls Pvt. Ltd. to obtain Environmental

CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.2.1Source of Water Supply

During the construction stage, water will be sourced primarily from

• Municipal supply from existing connection

• CSTP treated water through tankers.

• Private tankers

During the operational stage, water will be sourced from municipal supply.

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

purposes. The water shall be distributed through underground water 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 treated effluent from Sewage Treatment Plant will be recycled for flushing &

horticulture. This will reduce the dependency on total water requirement and make the system

sustainable.

Piped water supplies shall be designed on continuous 24 hours basis to distribute water to

consumers at adequate pressure at all points. Intermittent supplies are neither desirable from

the public health point of view nor economical.

Lucknow Water Supply: Lucknow utilizes two sources of water to meet customers’ needs:

Gomti Surface Water: The present supply from surface water is met through river Gomti

through its water works at Aishbagh and Balagunj. Lucknow Jal Sansthan supplies the water

supply to Lucknow city. Another water works is under construction stage at Gomti Nagar.

The water works will get water from Sharda canal which will benefit the residence of Gomti

Nagar and trans –Gomti area. At present 30 lacs people are benefited by Jal Santhan supply.

The present Supply through Jal Sansthan is as follows:

• Supply through Aishbagh Water works -172 MLD

• Supply through Balagunj water Works -70 MLD

• Total Surface Water Supply -242 MLD

Master Plan of Water Supply for Lucknow City prepared in the year 1976 dividing Lucknow

into 5 water supply districts viz. “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” and “E”. Distt. "E" is under the

Administrative control of Cantonment Board.

Ground Water: Ground water is a natural occurrence. Ground water supply is met through

deep, shallow tubewells, Indiamark II, Handpumps & Indira wells through Jal Sansthan as

follows:




• Total Ground water supply - 238 MLD.

Thus the total supply for entire Lucknow city at present is 480 MLD out of which surface

contributes 242 MLD and Ground water contributes 238 MLD.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Fresh water would be supplied through Municipal Supply of Lucknow Development. The

quality of water is drinking as per IS: 10500 and WHO norms.

Piped water supplies shall be designed on continuous 24 hours basis to distribute water to

consumers at adequate pressure at all points. Intermittent supplies are neither desirable from

the public health point of view nor economical.

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 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 class 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 The sewer lines have already been laid at Alambagh. The drainage system in the city has

been designed according to its general slope which is from eastern side towards river Gomti

river is in the north east i.e ~6 km. Underground drains have been planned in most of the

areas and are being constructed along with the development of sectors.

The trunk sewer required for the present development area has been completed. The sewerage

treatment plant having capacity 500 KLD will be installed at site.

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.

2.3.2 Sewage Collection & Treatment

The soil & waste from Toilets & cafeteria will be collected in Gully Traps & Manholes in single network of S.W. / R.C.C. pipes laid underground having Manholes / Inspection chambers at appropriate intervals and shall be discharged into municipal sewers.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.3.3 Waste Water Recycling

To reduce the total water requirement, to reduce the dependability on ground water sources,

to follow the guidelines of MoEF and to protect the environment, it is recommended to adopt

recycling of treated effluent from sewage treatment plant (STP) for the purpose of flushing,

horticulture, HVAC Cooling and any other low end uses such as bus/ tyre/ road washing etc.

Treated effluent from STP shall be further treated by filtration and chlorination and stored in

underground storage tank for this purposes. For the purpose of recycling, the booster pumps

will take this water from Under Ground Tank and supply to an independent water supply

network for flushing, HVAC cooling and horticulture use along with other low end uses in

Bus terminal.

Although the entire spent water of a community should contribute to the total flow in a

sanitary sewer, it has been observed that a small portion is lost in evaporation, seepage in

ground, leakage etc. In some arid areas, the fraction reaching the sewer may be as low as 40

%, while for an intensely developed area, it may be as high as 90%. However, in this scheme,

90 % has been taken as interception factor.

405 KLD will be the total waste water generated, which will be treated in the STP of 500 KLD out of which, 308 KLD of tertiary treated water will be recycled for various uses including Flushing, Horticulture, HVAC cooling and the spare secondary treated water will be discharged into Municipal Sewers.

Sewage Treatment Units Modular STP based on Fluidized Aerated Bed (FAB) technology with capacity of 400 KLD will be installed for waste water treatment. Physico chemical characteristics of influent and effluent are given as:

The STP will include the following unit operations:

• Primary treatment : Bar Screen, Oil & Grease Separator, Homogenization Tank

• Secondary treatment : Aeration Tank (FAB), Settling tank, Chlorine Dosing.

• Tertiary treatment : Multigrade Filter (Dual Media Filter), Activated Carbon

Filter, Softener (if required)


CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


• Sludge conditioning : Sludge Thickener / Filter Press

• Primary Treatment

Raw sewage will flow through an Oil & Grease Separator and then through a bar screen

chamber to an equalization Tank/Homogenization tank. The bar screen shall be so designed

that it can be cleaned manually from outside the tank. Two submersible solid handling pumps

shall be provided in the Equalization Tank to pump the collected Raw Sewage to the Aeration

Tank. An Automatic controller shall be provided in the Equalization Tank to turn the pump

off at the low water level in the tank and to start the pump automatically when water level is

high. Air will be introduced in the Equalization Tank through submerged air diffusers, to

prevent the sewage from becoming septic during long retention or low load conditions.

Arrangement to re-circulate the sewage shall be provided on each of the transfer pumps such

that the quantity of flow entering the aeration tank will be about 25.00 cu.m/hr.

a. Secondary Treatment

From equalization sump, effluent shall be pumped into the fluidized aerobic bio-reactor for

aeration using nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. The water enters the bottom of the reactor

and flows up through the fixed film media which grossly enhances the hydraulic retention

time and provides a large surface area for the growth of biological microorganisms. The FAB

reactor is aerated by fine pore sub surface diffusers which provide oxygen for organic matter

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. Microorganisms attach

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

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

gradients within the film. Suspended particles & colloid may get retained on this sticky

surface where they are decomposed into soluble products. 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 & get carried away by the waste water

or air currents through the voids of the media.

Special media having density lower than that of water will be added to increase the surface

area upto 400 sq.mt/cu.mt. This will increase the contact period of air (oxygen) and water.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Aeration system shall be designed in a way so as to achieve complete mixing of the

sludge organisms with raw sewage in order to maintain MLSS of between 3000-4000 mg/l

and dissolved oxygen of 2 mg/l in the Aeration Tank.

From the Aeration Tank this mixed liquor passes into a clarifier. The liquid in the clarifier

tank is maintained in quiescent condition allowing the solids to settle at the bottom of the

clarifier for collection. The accumulated solids (activated Sludge) shall be constantly pumped

back into the aeration tank by sludge recycle pumps. This return sludge undergoes further

digestion in the aeration tank and also provides the active organism needed to digest the

incoming raw sewage. The clarifier shall be provided with an overflow weir to collect the

treated effluent and a scum baffle shall keep any floating matter from passing out in the final

treated water. Treated water from clarifier shall overflow into Treated Effluent Tank.

b. Tertiary Treatment

Treated water will be taken into the filter feed pump sump from where effluent will be

pumped into the pressure sand Filter, an Activated Carbon Filter, passing through online

chlorine (hypochlorite/ bleaching powder/ dosing) to ensure proper disinfection and a

softener and stored in a Treated Sewage Water Tank. Before using the treated effluent for

toilet flushing or water bodies, tertiary treated effluent will be allowed to pass through micron

bag filteration system. Water from this tank will be used for flushing, cooling towers of the

DG sets and for horticulture within the site.

c. Sludge Conditioning

Excess sludge from the bottom of the clarifier shall be digested into an adjoining aerobic

digester cum thickener tank. In this tank sludge shall be aerated. The air shall be shut off

periodically and supernatant water will be led back into the Equalization Tank. This way the

sludge shall be thickened and its volume shall be reduced. The thickened sludge will be

further solidified using a centrifuge or a filter press and the solid cakes will be used as

manure in horticulture.

U-values of roof, external wall and fenestration will meet requirements as specified in

the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 7. The water supply pumping system will be provided with variable speed drive to

conserve energy at part load.

Permissible U-values (W/m2 °C) as per ECBC: Roof: 0.409, External wall: 0.44, Fenestration: 3.3

2.5 Storm Water Drainage System The rainwater will be collected through piped drains and conveyed into rainwater harvesting

system. All storm water drains have been 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 and bore wells for recharge into the groundwater. RWH will be


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


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 40

mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 40 mm/hr.

No. of pits Provided: 2

Note: RWH will be done only from the roof top. Harvesting from green and other open areas

will not be done owing to the fact that these may be contaminated by oil/ diesel/ petrol spillage,

as the proposed project is modernization/ reconstruction of a Bus Terminal.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


2.6 Solid Waste Collection / Disposal Plan Estimation of solid Waste

1. During Demolition


built up area of existing bus stand is 6084.05 m2, accordingly, 1825 Tonnes of demolition

waste is anticipated to be generated. This will consist of broken bricks, concrete, glass,

marbles, tiles, steel pipes, electrical fittings, bathroom fittings, etc. The waste generated may be

used for back filling or may be handed over to waste collection agency.

2. Construction Waste:

“Construction waste” means any substance, matter or thing which is generated as a result of

construction work and abandoned whether or not it has been processed or stockpiled before

being abandoned. It is a mixture of surplus materials arising from site clearance, excavation,

construction, refurbishment, renovation.

Over 90% of construction waste are inert and are known as public fill. Public fill includes

debris, rubble, earth and concrete which is suitable for land reclamation and site formation.

As per TIFAC, during demolition, 30-50 kg (on an average 40 kg) of waste is generated per

sqm of built area. The built up area of existing bus stand is 86423.03 m2, accordingly, 3500

Tonnes of construction waste is anticipated to be generated.

3. Post-Construction Waste:

The solid waste generated from the project after full occupancy will be mainly domestic waste.

The solid waste so generated shall be first segregated as plastic, glass, paper and other waste

separately. The recyclable inorganic waste will be sold to registered buyers. The bio-degradable


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


wastes will be transferred into a designated collection point for disposal by municipal authority/

hired agency.

On the basis of the solid waste being collected in different cities, the per capita rate of solid

waste generation has been adopted as 0.5 kg per day per person for residents, 0.25 kg per day

per person for staff/ employees and 0.15 kg per day per person for visitors, , and e-waste @

0.25 kg/C/Yr & 0.15kg/capita/year. Thus the anticipated municipal solid waste worked out as

Source: Management of MSW, CPCB, MoEF.

Following arrangement will be made at the site for management of solid waste in accordance to MSW Rules, 2000.

2.6.1 Collection and Segregation of waste


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• Twin bin collection system will be used for collection of municipal solid waste generated from households.

• Adequate number of colored bins (green and Blue - separate for Bio-degradable and Non Bio-degradable) are proposed to be provided

• A floor to floor system through service lift or garbage chute collection shall be provided for collection of solid waste generated.

• Solid waste generated will be collected on daily basis and a storage facility for 24 hour storage will be provided at site with shed and impervious floor.

• Hazardous waste (Spent Oil) & e-waste will be stored at separate place and handover to authorized dealers of CPCB.

• Litter bins will also be provided in open areas like commercial spaces, parks & play grounds etc.

• Waste will be collected on daily basis by hired/ contracted vendor.

2.6.2 Disposal

The proper disposal of waste is not only absolutely necessary for the preservation and improvement of public health but it has an immense potential for resource recovery.

A temporary storage facility shall be created at site by taking into account quantities of waste

generation in the present scheme. A storage facility shall be so placed that it is connected to

nearby road for the easy transportation facilities.

Generated Solid waste shall be segregated & collected on common solid waste collection center at site, from where it will be transported to the nearest disposal 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.

2.6.3 Treatment of waste

Municipal Solid Waste predominantly includes domestic waste in addition to commercial

wastes which shall be collected by the municipality within the 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.

• Bio-Degradable wastes 1. Bio-degradable waste may be subjected to composting and the compost can be used as

manure. Compost contains nutrients and organic carbon which are excellent soil conditioners. The process is cost effective. But the amount of waste generated is low in quantity, thus making bio-composting onsite commercially unviable. Therefore, biodegradable waste will be handed over to hired agency.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


2. Horticultural Waste along with STP sludge is proposed to be handed over to hired waste collecting agency, along with MSW.

• Recyclable wastes Recyclable waste like Paper, plastics, metals will be sold to the authorized recycler of the area. Recyclable waste will be sold to authorized agencies.

2.6.4 Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste is waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment. Characteristic hazardous wastes are materials that are known or tested to exhibit one or more of the following four hazardous traits:

• ignitability (i.e., flammable)

• reactivity

• corrosivity

• toxicity The Project is a Construction of Bus Terminal in which no storage of hazardous chemicals

(as per MSIHC rules) will be done, except HSD (low sulphur variety) required to run

standby DG sets. Also, the quantity to be stored will be below the threshold limit specified

in the MSIHC rules.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


During construction HSD, paints, solvents, thinner, oil and lubricants will be stored for use

which is hazardous to health.

During operation, no workshop is proposed onsite. Hazardous waste anticipated to be

generated will be spent/ used oil from DG sets, spilled oil from buses etc.

2.6.5 E-Waste

E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2011,12th May) Electronic waste, popularly known as ‘e-waste’ can be defined as waste electrical and electronic equipments whole or in part or reject (such as CDs, floppies, keyboards, monitors, power plug, batteries, etc.) which have become obsolete due to:

• Advancement in technology • Changes in fashion, style and status • Nearing the end of their useful life.

Responsibility of Consumer or Bulk Consumer According to E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2011) responsibility of Consumer or Bulk Consumer is given below:

• Consumer or Bulk Consumer of electrical and electronic equipment shall ensure that e-waste generated by them is channelized to authorized collection centers or registered dismantlers or recyclers or is return back to the pick-up or take back services provided by the producers.

• Bulk consumers shall maintain records of e-waste generated by them in Form-2 and make records available to UPPCB.

• The e-waste generated from the proposed project would be suitably managed through

assistance from hired authorized agency.

CHAPTER 3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

In this section, an attempt has been made to evaluate the environmental settings of the project

and study area so as applicability of Government of India (GOI) regulatory requirements as

well as environmental management practices of Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF)

could be envisioned. Based on the existing environmental scenario, potential impacts of site

improvement will be identified and accordingly management plan will be proposed.

3.1 Physical Resources

Accurate determination of baseline conditions of natural and physical environmental

components at project site is vital for robust impact assessment. The components of the

environment for which the information has been collected are described in the following

subsections.

3.1.1 Climate

Lucknow is capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a part of the great northern plains and is

situated on the bank of the River Gomti. City’s climate is sub-tropical and prone to extremes,

temperatures reaching as high as 48°C during the summer and as low as 1°C in the winter.

Summers in Lucknow are extremely hot while winters are cold and foggy. The rainy season is

between June and September and the city receives annual rainfall of 1016 millimeters. Heavy

rains and high humidity mark the monsoon season.

3.1.2 Drainage and Physiography

Lucknow city occupies the interfluvial region of Gomti and Sai rivers of the Central Ganga

Plain in Ganga basin with very low country slope. It is almost a flat country with conspicuous

natural depression in north-eastern part around Jankipuram (Fig.3.1). The general slope of the

city area is towards south and south-east. The elevation of city area varies from 110 to 124 m

above mean sea level.

The drainage system of the area is controlled mainly by river Gomti which flows to south-east.

There are 23 nalas which drain into Gomti between Gaughat and Gomati Barrage. The drainage

exhibits dendritic to sub- dendritic pattern and are highly sinuous in nature. Gomti river

originate from the spring line in the Terai belt of Pilibhit district. It flows South-easterly over a

distance of 490 km before joining the Ganga river in Ghazipur district. The catchments area of

the river is 30500 sq km.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Fig. 3.1: Drainage Map of the Lucknow City

3.1.3 Soil Type

Soils of the City exhibits a wide variation in composition, texture and appearance. The major

position of the city is occupied by soils locally known as "Bhur" or "Silty Sand" on the ridges.

"Matiyar" or "Clay Soils" occurs along topographic lows and "Dumat or Loamy soils" in the

level lands. Clay is dominant in the areas where "Reh" (Usar) prevails. Along the river valleys,

a very fertile soil called "Dumat" is prevalent which is youngest.

Soil Erosion The problem of soil-erosion is not as serious in Lucknow as in some other districts. Due to the almost level nature of the land and low gradients towards the river beds, only sheet-erosion to a limited extent takes place. Erosion is also to be found along the course of the tributaries of the Gomti, of which the Kukrail is a typical example.

Floods in the Past

In 1960 Lucknow recorded its highest flood level at 110.575 m with large parts of the city

being inundated. To protect the habitations earthen embankments were constructed all along

the bank of the river as well as on Kukrail after 1971 floods to a top level of 114.4 m. During


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


floods of 1960 and 1971, the back-flow of water through the drains and cuts flooded the large

parts of the city. The sluice gates on the embankments were installed for discharge of drains

during normal weather and stopping back flow during floods. Usually when river water level

rises to the drain invert levels, these gates are closed so that no back flow occurs. In case of

heavy rain and floods, the pumping stations pump storm water across the embankment into the

river so as to prevent water logging in the city. The embankment and the flood pumping station

are almost 25 - 30 years old and in this period one recent flooding occurred in 2008.

Fig. 3.2: Hydrogeo-morphological map of Lucknow.

3.1.4 Hydrology of Study Area

Ground water status of Lucknow District:

Area of Lucknow city forms a part of central Ganga plains and is piled up of alluvial sediments

of Quaternary age and can be classified as Newer and Older Alluvium. The Newer alluvium

occurs in the active flood plains of river Gomti at topographic low areas. The sediments in the


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Newer Alluvium are generally micaceous grey sands, silt and clay belonging to Upper

Pleistocene to Recent age group. The Older Alluviums occur at topographic high areas & do

not get flooded. The sediments in Older Alluvium are generally sand of various grades, clays,

kankar, and silt. Alternate beds of sand and clay occur with intermixing of kankar bed. These

sediments belong to upper to middle Pleistocene age. Ground water occurs in the pore spaces

of unconsolidated alluvial sediments in the zone of saturation under phreatic and semi-confined

conditions. In deeper aquifers it occurs under semi-confined to confined conditions.

The occurrence of ground water is quite encouraging in northern and north eastern part of the

city in Janakipuram, along Kursi Road and Chinhat. Moderate yield potential lies in the North

West and western part of the city. To augment the demand of the future mega city, all ground

water abstractions shall be done from Trans–Gomti area in the north and north east and beyond

Sarojani Nagar. Further flood plains of Gomati River can be exploited by constructing shallow

tubewells, radial wells, collector wells, rainy wells. These structures may be taken up in the

upstream of Gaughat.

Quality of Surface Water (Gomti River):

Lucknow was inhabited due to the presence of river Gomti like most of the other cities which

have grown close to a freshwater source. River Gomti is the only natural surface water source

for Lucknow and has been polluted up to larger extents due to mismanagement of wastewater.

Large amounts of wastewater is dumped into the river every day, sapping it of oxygen and

killing fishes and ecosystem and has lead to low D.O. levels in the river 25 nallahs discharge

about 315 MLD sewage directly into the river, only 42 MLD sewage is treated from the current

sewage treatment plant that is, only 12 percent of the sewage is being treated presently and the

rest 88 percent flows directly to the river without treatment contributing heavily to the pollution

load of the river. Sewages and drains are blocked due to encroachment along the drainage

systems and due to disposal of solid wastes. New areas are inhabited in the trans and cis-Gomti

side without any proper planning of wastewater management. These areas should come up with

their own sewage treatment plants and should dispose the treated water into the river Gomti

with careful observation. Annual variation in Dissolved Oxygen of Gomti River at the

upstream intake and downstream barrage in Lucknow is shown in Fig. 3.4.

Based on different secondary data available for Hydrology of study area, it has been concluded

that all the constituents present in the river water samples are within permissible limit before

the river enters the Lucknow city and as it passes through the city the quality of river water

deteriorates due to the mixing of several city drains specially near Mohan Meakins disposal

drains and Haider Canal (Gomti barrage). The Dissolved Oxygen content decreases from 7.0

mg/l from outskirt to 2.0 near Mohan Meakins disposal drains and Haider Canal. There are few

Dhobi ghats and cloth dyeing units at the bank of river Gomti, which are also polluting the

river water. (Source: Ground Water Scenario in India, CGWB, 2011).

Quality of Ground Water

The Ground water study reveals that most of the chemical parameters are well within

permissible limits of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The various chemical characteristics of

ground water samples in Lucknow city have been summarized in the table. In central part of the

city area near IT college, Nirala nagar, Mahanagar, part of Indira nagar, Aminabad and Arya

nagar area, electrical conductivity value ranges from 1250 to 1500 µS/cm at 25 0C. In other

areas the electrical conductivity value ranges between 750 and 1250 µS/cm at 25 0C. In

outskirts of the city the electrical conductivity values have been observed to be below 750

µS/cm. the pH values ranges from 7.35 to 8.4 in the city. The nitrate concentration more than

permissible limit of 45 mg/l has been found in 12% of samples specially at Nirala nagar,

Campbell road, Aminabad, Indiranagar, Mahanagar, Chowk and Buland bagh areas .The

maximum value of 244 mg/l of nitrate has been observed at Buland bagh. High nitrate

concentration in ground water is a matter of concern and is mainly due to disposal of domestic

and untreated sewage through open and unlined drains and wrong landfill sites on permeable

formations, thereby polluting the ground water system.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Fluoride concentration of more than permissible limit of 1.5 mg/l has been observed in Tulsi

park (1.59 mg/l), and at Lucknow University campus (1.66 mg/l). in deeper aquifers in the

tubewells below 370 m and form the fourth aquifer system group, which further indicates that

the high fluoride in this area are may be due to the minerals assemblage in the of the geological

formations belonging to Siwaliks. High iron content (up to 1.9 mg/l) has also been observed in

few cases. The other constituents are mostly well within permissible limits and hence suitable

for domestic and drinking purpose.

3.1.5 Geography and Land Use

SITE


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


(a) Geography

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.

Lucknow is located in Lucknow District, Uttar Pradesh at a distance of about 500 km from

Delhi. It is situated at co-ordinates 27°51′N and 80°55′E. The coordinates of the proposed

project site are Latitude: 26°46'17.66" to 26°46'18.60"N, Longitude: 80°56'41.35" to

80°56'44.97"E.

(b) Land use

The current land use of the Urban Agglomeration excluding that of the Cantonment is shown in

Table 3.11 and Fig 3.6. As per the Lucknow master plan 2021, this is the source of the

information, estimates that Lucknow covered an area of 16,270 hectares. There has been a

77.4% increase in the total area Compared to 1987 when the area was estimated at 9170

hectares. Trends in land uses has been interesting, especially the fact that residential use has

grown dramatically in comparison to all other uses, although there has also been notable

growth in commercial, industrial and public service land use. While population densities in

core areas, which include the major part of Cis-Gomti specially the old habitations, are around

600 persons/hectare or more the densities in peripheral Trans-Gomti area; vary from 400 to 600

persons/hectares.

With the radial growth of the city, the Cantonment has gradually been engulfed and is today

more centrally located. A Ring Road system has been developed to connect the new

development around the Old City and the Cantonment and the Trans-Gomti areas. The

Lucknow Development Authority has planned to develop the intervening open spaces to take

advantage of the Ring Road. New housing colonies are already under construction in the

southeastern and eastern parts of the City. It is interesting to note that the Master Plan 2021

does not take into account the development that is taking place on account of the entry of

private developers. Like most cities, Lucknow is witnessing a real estate boom with a large

number of private developers coming in this additional development will necessarily require

infrastructure that needs to be taken into account when planning investments in the future.

(c) 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 fig. 3.9.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Fig 3.8: Map Showing Seismic Zones in India, 2002

3.2 Air Environment The existing quality of the air environment serves as an index for assessing the pollution load

and the assimilative capacity of any region and forms an important tool for planning project

activity in the area. Primary data was collected for pre monsoon season to understand the air

quality in the region and to assess the impacts on air environment.

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.

The climate is sub-humid and characterized by hot summer and bracing cold season. After

February there is continuous increase in temperature till May which is generally the hottest

month. The district experiences the hottest weather in the month of June with average mean

temperature of 32.85°C followed by May with 31.9°C. The coldest month is January with

average mean temperature of 14.2°C followed by December with 15.4°C.

Relative Humidity

During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and after the withdrawal of

the monsoon humidity decreases. The average monthly relative humidity in the month of

March, April and May is 57.3%, 41.5% and 45.7% respectively.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


3.2.1 Wind Speed and Direction Analysis of hourly wind speed shows that the winds were generally higher in this area. The monthly wind speed varies from 2 to 37 km/hr. The wind rose diagram reveals that wind was blowing predominantly from the Northwest with frequency of approximately 17 % having speed in the range of 0.5-10.3 ms-1 during the monitoring period. The onsite average wind speed was observed 3.0 m s-1 with frequency of calm winds 6.70 % during the monitoring period.

Fig 3.9: Wind Rose Diagram (Prominent Wind direction - from North West)

3.2.2 Temperature In winter the maximum temperature is around 25 °C and the minimum is in the 3 °C to7

°C range. Fog is quite common from late December to late January. Summers are extremely hot

with temperatures rising to the 40 °C to 45 °C range, the average highs being in the high of 30

°C. On January 9, 2013 Lucknow recorded its temperature of − 0.7 °C, lowest in 49 years.

3.2.3 Air Quality of Lucknow City (IITR, 2014, Pre-monsoon)

Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM or PM10)

In residential areas (Aliganj, Vikas Nagar, Indira Nagar and Gomti Nagar), the 24 hours

average concentrations of PM10 were in the range of 176.7 to 259.5 µg/m3 with an

average of 209.1 µg/m3. In commercial areas (Charbagh, Alambagh, Aminabad and

Chowk) the average concentrations of PM10 were in the range of 181.7 to 274.5 µg/m3 with

an average of 219.7 µg/m3 respectively. In industrial area (Amausi), the average

concentrations of PM10 was 217.3 µg/m3 .

The maximum 24 hours mean concentration of PM10 was observed in Gomti Nagar (259.5

µg/m3) in residential area and Charbagh (274.9 µg/m3) in commercial area.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

In residential area (Aliganj, Vikas Nagar, Indira Nagar and Gomti Nagar) the mean levels of

SO2 were in the range of 14.6 to 21.0 µg/m3 with an average of 17.9 µg/m3. In

commercial area (Charbagh, Alambagh, Aminabad and Chowk) the average concentrations of

SO2 were in the range of 16.4 to 25.1 µg/m3 with an average of 20.3 µg/m3. In industrial

area (Amausi) the average concentration of SO2 was 23.5 µg/m3.

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

In residential areas (Aliganj, Vikas Nagar, Indira Nagar and Gomti Nagar) the 24 hours

3.3 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.

In residential areas, the day and night time noise levels were recorded between 67.4 to 69.5 and

57.2 to 61.7 dB(A) respectively. All the values were higher than the prescribed limit of 55 and


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


45 dB (A) for day and night time respectively.

In commercial and traffic area, the day and night time noise level were recorded between 68.4

to 71.8 and 53.8 to 68.5 dB(A) respectively. Noise level at all the commercial sites during day

and night time were found above the prescribed limit of 65 and 55 dB (A) respectively.

In industrial area Amausi the day and night time noise levels were recorded 73.2 and

67.5 dB (A) respectively. Noise levels at all industrial locations in the day and night time was

found below the prescribed limit of 75.0 and 70.0 dB (A) respectively.

Noise level at all the commercial sites during day and night time were found above the

prescribed limit of 65 and 55 dB (A) respectively. In industrial area Amausi the day and night

time noise levels were recorded 71.5 and 66.3 dB (A) respectively. Noise levels at all industrial

locations in the day and night time was found below the prescribed limit of 75.0 and 70.0 dB

3.4 Ecological Resources The ecological survey based on secondary data available of the area (with in project area and 10

Km radius around the project site), to assess the potential ecological impacts of the proposed

project upon ecology, to develop adequate and feasible mitigation measures (via inputs to

project design and layout, working practices) to keep residual ecological impacts with

acceptable limits, and also to develop ecological monitoring parameters. This section of report

presents ecological baseline of the area and study was carried out in two separate headings for

floral and faunal community respectively.

3.4.1 Habitat Assessment

The information on prevailing baseline in proposed project site is important because project

activities might lead to loss of the ecological resources, if existing. The information will further

enable to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the mitigation options that are being proposed

by environmentalist and conservationist to incorporate conservation concerns in mitigating the

impacts of developmental project.

The study area was divided into two zones as given below:

3.4.2 Floral Community i) Core Zone: There was little vegetation within the core zone. Only a few species of grasses were seen. There

is no presence of reserved or any forest in the proposed site.

ii) Study Area in 10 km radius around the project site:

The vegetative community of the area is mainly under open scrub forest and because of

urbanization area is usually surrounded with planted varieties. The dominant species are Babool

(Acacia nilotica), Vilayati Babool (Acacia sp.), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Gulmohar (Cassia

sp.), Safeda (Eucalyptus), amaltas (Cassia fistula), Dhatura (Datura sp.), Arandi (Ricinus

communis), Ber (Zyziphus sp.), Bougainvellia, Peepal (Ficus religiosa), Shisham (Dalbergia

sissoo) etc. The prominent grass species is Cynodon dactylon.

The tree species recorded in this planted forest are Date Palm, Bush Palm, Bottle Brush, teak

(Tectona grandis), Arjun (Terminalia arjuna), Siris (Albizzia lebbek), Gulhar (Ficus glomerata),

acacia catachu, Delonix regia, Butea monosperma, Azadirachta indica, Ficus religios, Zizyphus

i) Core Zone Within the project area ii) Study Area 10 Km radius around the project area


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Mauritian, Morus alba, Albizia procera, Bombax ceiba, Shorea robusta, etc. This forest acts as

habitat for wild mammals and regional avifauna.

Some of the Flora found in the region is listed in the tables below:

3.4.3 Faunal Community A general faunal study was carried out for the core zone and Study Area separately as given below. i. Core Zone: There was no unique faunal community within the core zone of the project area, except most of the faunal species are domesticated like toad, frog, sparrow and rats etc. ii. Study Area: • In 10 km radius around the project area: Reptiles: Govt. record and villagers mention the presence Agama (Agama tuberculata), lizard (Calotes variscolor), skink (Scincilla sp.) and Hemidactylus flavioirdis in field and in close proximity of site. Among snakes Dhaman (Ptyas mucosa) are commonly noticed in field by farmers. Other snakes like Cobra (Naja naja), Banded Krait (Bungarus multicinctus), Russel viper (Vipera


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


ruselii), are occasionally encountered by the farmers. Due to agricultural setup and large clearance of bushes, their habitat has been restricted to smaller area. The decline in snake population was noticed in the area due to inter and intra species competition for space, feed and increase in encounter by human beings. Mammals Mammalian species reported in this forest area, based on Forest Action Plan are Monkey (Macaca mulata), Langoor (Presbytis entellus), Mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus), Canis aureus, Vuples bengalensis, Hyaena hyaena, Boselaphus traqocamelus, Axis axis, Funambulus pennanti, Rattus rattus, Mus booduga and Scotoplhilus heathi. Majority of the species recorded show diurnal behavioral responses. Only few show nocturnal behavior like Scotoplhilus heathi and Hyaena hyaena. There is decline in the mammalian species due to reduction of forest area. Aves The buffer zone has moderate type of avifauna distribution. Birds like rock pigeon, myna, babbler, ring dove, sparrow was noticed. Within 15 km radius witnesses rich avifaunal distribution. This is mainly due to presence of forest, thick growth of bushes and riparian habitat along the rivers. Due to abundant growth of trees and availability of feeds, higher frequency and counts of birds are recorded with moderate type of avifauna biodiversity. Pariah kite, Jungle babbler, red-wattled lapwing, ring dove, large Indian parakeet, white breasted king fisher, Indian roller, common myna, black drango, pond heron, cattle egrets, hornbill, flock of sparrow are found etc.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Endangered and threatened animals of India have been listed in the Schedule I and Schedule II

of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 (amended in 2001). No threatened, rare, endangered, or

endemic species were observed during the survey in core zone.

Protected Areas

There are no Wildlife Sanctuary, National Park and/ or Biosphere Reserve within 10 km of the

study area. However, Kukrail Reserve Forest lies within 12 km (NE) boundary of the project

site.

Areas with rich biodiversity along with their approximate distances from project site are:

River Gomti: 6 km* (NE)

Moti Jheel 2.5 km* (NW)

Kukrail Forest Reserve: 12 km (NE)

Kukrail Ghariyal Conservation Center: : 13 km (NE)

3.5 Socio Economic Environment Socio-Economic Scenario

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

and the anticipated impacts of the Proposed Project on the socio-economic environment. The

issues under focus in this chapter are demographic structure, economic activities, and education

literacy rate and infrastructure resources.

3.5.1 Population

Highlights of 2011 Census

1. Total population is 4,588,455 compared to 3,647,834 of 2001.

2. Male and female were 2,407,897 and 2,180,558 respectively.

3. Population Growth for Lucknow District recorded in 2011 for the decade has remained

25.79 percent. Same figure for 1991-2001 decade was 32.03 percent.

4. Total Area of Lucknow District was 2,528 with average density of 1,815 per sq. km.

5. Lucknow Population constituted 2.30 percent of total Uttar Pradesh Population.

6. Sex Ratio of Lucknow District is now 906, while child sex ratio (0-6) is 915 per 1000

boys.

7. Children below 0-6 age were 521,815 which forms 11.37 of total Lucknow District

population.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


8. Average Literacy rate for Lucknow District is 79.33 percent, a change of from past

figure of 68.71 percent. In India, literacy rate is counted only for those above 7 years of

age. Child between 0-6 ages are exempted from this.

9. Total literates in the Lucknow District increased to 3,226,214.

10. All the data regarding Lucknow District Population were released by Directorate of

Census Operations in Uttar Pradesh.

Lucknow Urban Agglomeration (LUA) became a million-plus city in 1981. Besides the areas

under jurisdiction of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, the agglomeration also includes the

Lucknow Cantonment. Census 2001 estimated the population of the Lucknow Urban

Agglomeration at 22.46 lakhs. This included an estimate of about 60,000 as population of the

Lucknow Cantonment and 21.85 lakh population of Lucknow City. The population of the

Lucknow Cantonment has remained constant in the last three decades.

As per master plan 2021, the population of city area is given in table:

Demographic data for the Lucknow Urban Agglomeration and Lucknow City from Census and

other available documents was analysed to understand the growth patterns. The Master Plan

2021 is the basis of information for the projected population and land use in peripheral areas

where considerable private development has been taking place. Growth rates have been arrived

at through projecting geometric growth, arithmetic growth and incremental growth rate methods

and adding an additional population of 100,000 every five years for additional areas that might

get incorporated within the city. This seems a conservative estimate however, given the current

pace of real estate development and the intention of government to attract new investment in

Lucknow.

Fig. 3.15: Decadal population growth (1951-2021)

Official records show that Lucknow’s population grew more than that of other cities in the

1980s – mainly due to the extension of the jurisdiction of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation –


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


from 14,594 hectares in 1981 to 33,750 hectares in 1991. In the 1990s, average growth was

comparable to that of cities of similar size, more than Kanpur and Nagpur, but lower than Jaipur

and Surat. The expansion in the 1980s meant the population density decreased from 69 persons

per hectare to 49 persons per hectare, but has now increased to 67 persons per hectare due to

population growth. The population growth projected varies between 3.51 to 4.37 per cent per

year over different 5-year periods until 2021, somewhat higher than for the average growth rate

of cities of similar size in the country and the state.

Table 3.21: Land transformations- Census 2011

3.5.2 Growth Components

Migration into Lucknow accounts for 36% increase in population over the last decade. Of the 5.76- lakh people added to the LUA during 1991-2001, about 2 lakh were migrants. In comparison, the natural growth was 3.68 lakh.

Lucknow’s position as a city bordered by smaller towns like Hardoi and Sitapur in the northwest; Bara Banki in the northeast, Rae Bareli in the south-east and Unnao in the south west attracts migrants in search of better employment opportunities and higher order services like education and health. According to the census, 22% of the migrants from rural areas and 27% from urban areas cited ‘employment’ as the reason for migration. The other reasons for migration include business reasons, education opportunities, marriage etc.

3.5.3 Gender Ratio

In the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, there has been a steady increase in the number of women per 1000 men – from 829 in 1971 to 849 in 1981, 862 in 1991 to 893 in 2001. While this rise is attributable partly to natural growth, discussions with the LDA identify the cause as being


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


the ‘security’ that the city offers and the good education facilities – factors that have meant that a lot of women and children are staying in Lucknow even when the male members of the family are working elsewhere. An additional factor could be that entire rural families are migrating in search of employment instead of the general practice of only men migrating.

3.5.4 Literacy

Despite comparative economic prosperity and better infrastructure and education facilities, literacy levels in the City vary from those in other cities of similar size. The literacy rate in the Lucknow Municipal Corporation area recorded in 2001 was 67.46%. However, within the state the City has a relatively high level of literacy – as could be expected in line with general trends about differences between urban and rural areas. There were apparent increases both in the Municipal Corporation area as well as in the Urban Agglomeration. Female literacy levels though lower compared to total literacy levels have also shown an increasing trend in the last three decades.

Table 3.22: Literacy in Lucknow Municipal Corporati on, Urban Agglomeration and the State

Source: Lucknow Master Plan 2021

3.5.5 Industries The major industries in the Lucknow Urban Agglomeration include Tata Motors, aeronautics, machine tools, distillery chemicals, furniture and chikan embroidery. Lucknow has traditionally been associated with chikan embroidery work on readymade garments, sarees, etc. with most units being small scale and household based and located in the old city area.

Lucknow, being a tehsil headquarters, a divisional headquarters and the state capital, is a prominent administrative and commercial centre of the state. The proportion of working population of Lucknow has remained more or less constant since 1981, at around 28%.

Table 3.23: Working and Non-working Population of Lucknow Urban Agglomeration


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


3.5.6 Employment and Income Lucknow is the administrative capital of the largest state in India, with a rich cultural heritage and history. The key characteristics that determine its economic base include – the position of the City as an administrative centre, a centre for education and tourism. In recent years there has been a noticeable rise in retail trade and health services. The real estate market is undergoing a growth and the Master Plan 2021 anticipates a slight growth in the services sector over the next 15 years.

The employed (or ‘working’) population in the Urban Agglomeration was 27.5 percent in 2001, and the Master Plan 2021 envisages that it will increase to 30.0 percent in 2021. The tertiary sector has seen a rise in terms of share of workforce – it accounted for about 80 per cent of the work force in 2001 compared to 77 percent in 1981. In the same period, there was a decline in the percentage of primary workers due to the amalgamation of peripheral areas with their agricultural orientation within the city in the 1980s. The Master Plan envisages that while the proportion of tertiary workers in the UA will not change significantly in 2011 and 2021, there will be a decrease in the proportion of primary workers and a relative rise in secondary workers.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Table 3.24: Working Population by Major Occupational Categories

Of the 598579 total number of workers in Lucknow Municipal Corporation, in 2001, main workers comprised 89.82 per cent and marginal workers including those seeking employment was 10.18 percent. The distribution of main workers by education categories shows that 79 percent of the workforce in the City is literate. However, the proportion of workers with technical degrees/diplomas including postgraduate was quite small at about 4%.

• KGMU, Lucknow- approx. 5.5 km

Irrigation The District is not drought prone. There are a large number of wells and a network of canals for

irrigation. Even though the farmers have these facilities, yet they are largely dependent on the

monsoons for a successful crop.

Cropping Pattern

The main crops are wheat, paddy, sugarcane, Mustard (plant)|mustard, potatoes, and vegetables

such as cauliflower, cabbage, tomato, brinjals are grown here. Agro climatically, it is classified

as rich Sugarcane-Rice-Wheat zone. Major crop sequences followed in various crop zones are:

Maize - Wheat


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Paddy - Toor

Paddy - Fallow/sugar

Sugar/Fallow - wheat

Jowar - Lathyrus and Moong

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 canals.

Most of the male population is engaged in unskilled jobs, labourers, office work and

shopkeepers in rural areas. There is unemployment problem in the area as 60% of population is

literate and they need employment.

CHAPTER-4 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION & ASSESSMENT

4.0 General

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.

The important steps in Impact Assessment are: Impact identification, prediction and evaluation.

A number of techniques are available for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts.

Appropriate techniques have been applied for environmental impact assessment of the proposed

project.

4.1 Pollution Sources

Pollutants generated in the development of proposed complex during both construction and

operational 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

4.3 Assessment of Environmental Impacts during Development and Construction Phase

Site History before Construction

The site before construction had a pre-existing Bus Stand. Air is moderately polluted around the

site, due to movement of buses & associated vehicles in and around the project site. Noise

environment is high due to heavy traffic movement at site & adjacent NH-25. Ground water

level at the project location is 10 to 20 mbgl.

4.3.1 Topography Impact

Change in contours may result in change in topography of the area.

Mitigation measures


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Since this is an existing bus stand, topography of the proposed project site will remain unaltered.

Hence, no detailed mitigation measures are proposed. It is however proposed that apart from the

proposed tree plantation, turfing with local species will be carried out extensively.

4.3.2 Land Use Pattern

Proposed project will be located on the net project area of 23248.29 m2. The existing land use

will not get altered from the project as the current land use of the project is public services (Bus

stand) and will remain the same as per the Lucknow Master Plan 2021. The proposed

development will be as per the approval LDA building bye-laws. Therefore, Land use pattern of

the area will not be affected by the proposed project.

4.3.3 Land Environment

4.3.3.1 Construction Phase

(i) Earthwork

Impact

During construction phase, basement of soil will be excavated in order to provide foundations. It

is estimated that approx. 1,50,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initial

construction phase for foundation, basement etc.

There will be no loss of land due to the construction of the proposed project as the project is pre-

existing. Additional areas will also be impaired through compaction due to the movement of

heavy vehicles and equipment- the areas will eventually be constructed upon to provide for

accesses within the property.

Mitigation measures

In the context of the project the net loss of soils cannot be avoided, but the scale of the overall

impact will be minimized as follows:

• The soil will be preserved separately and will be used for landscaping, green turfing

purpose only. Hence, no immediate adverse impacts on the land environment are

envisaged.

• Proper drainage system shall be provided to deal with the storm water in case of rain.

The impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in the

nature.

• Land clearing activities will only be confined to necessary areas. The number, frequency

and area of movement of heavy machinery will also be restricted.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


(ii) Soil

Impact

During the construction phase, the soil will be excavated which can lead to soil erosion if it is not utilized properly. Solid waste generated during construction phase is majorly inert waste i.e. Cement, earth, rubble, debris, etc. and minor chemical waste i.e. oil spills, paints, VOCs which can effect human health, groundwater quality and soil quality.

Mitigation Measures

• At proposed project, the soil excavated during construction will be first temporarily

stored in an area earmarked and later will be used to fill up low lying area in and around

the project as well as for landscaping of project site. The remaining soil will be disposed

as per the norms. Proper drainage system shall be provided to deal with the storm water

in case of rain.

• Solid waste generated during the demolition/ construction phase shall be properly

collected and segregated as plastic, metal, and other and shall be disposed off as per the

standard practice.

• The construction waste generated will be reused within the project area. The slash

material will not be treated as waste as it has salvage value, which will earn revenue to

the project. Thus, burning of construction waste which causes health hazard to the

construction labors is not envisaged.

During the ongoing construction activities, the following measures will be adopted for safety of

workers.

• The waste generated during construction will be collected in a separate yard.

• Steel and iron scrap will be stored separately at an identified place.

• The waste management plan will be strictly adhered to during construction activities-

like-recycling plan –handling – segregation – storage -disposal.

• The recyclable waste (metal, wood, plastic and empty cement bags etc.) will be sold to

the vendors

• Use of wet jet will be compulsory for cutting & grinding of stones.

• Loose soil will be compacted before construction activities. • Covered vehicles shall be arranged for carrying the construction waste material to the

nearest dumping site. • The inert waste (brick, masonry, concrete, etc.) will be used for road making and

landfilling within the site itself.

• Personal protective equipment and special procedures for handling of waste to prevent

injury.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• The impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature.

4.3.3.2 Operation Phase

Impact

During the operation phase of the project, the soil may get polluted/ contaminated from littering

of various kinds of wastes generated within the site such as food items, torn tickets, paper cups,

plates, food wrappers, wood pieces, paints, pesticides, oil & grease etc. However, owing to the

proposed solid waste management system, no significant impact is anticipated.

Mitigation Measures

To ensure against any chances of soil pollution, it is imperative to establish a well-planned solid

waste collection system covering all areas of the site apart from door to door for the residential

units. An identified area shall be designated for storage and segregation of the wastes which will

be treated/ disposed as per their characteristics. The waste handling management and its disposal

is described in Section 2.

4.3.4 Water Environment- Construction Phase 4.3.4.1 Surface Water Hydrology Impact

The project area falls in the drainage basin of Gomti River but is outside any flood plain.

Runoff during rains takes way to natural drain and in storm water drains laid in the area. During

construction phase, there is no impact anticipated on the drainage pattern of the project area.

Mitigation Measures

Project proponent will ensure zero impact on water runoff flow direction and drainage pattern of the area throughout the construction of the proposed project by providing adequate water channel, channelizing all the runoff in storm water collecting structures, already present at site.

4.3.4.2 Ground Water Hydrology

Impact

In the area around the proposed project, rich aquifers are present. Water requirement during construction phase will vary depending upon construction activities and will be met with private tankers from CSTP/ Gomti water & existing municipal supply connection for drinking purposes at the site. It is expected that construction of proposed project will be spread over a period of 2-3 years. No ground water will be used for construction.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


As given in Table 2.7, Section 2.2, approx. 50 KLD water will be required for site preparation activities dust settlement, consolidation, compaction and curing as well as building construction, drinking water purposes and other low end uses.

Mitigation Measures

No impact is anticipated on the groundwater regime as surface water through water tankers will be used for construction purpose. Therefore, impact on ground water resources will be insignificant during construction of project.

It is proposed to carry out the following to further minimize the demand on freshwater resources:

• Curing water will be sprayed on concrete structures and free flow of water not allowed.

• After liberal curing on the first day, all concrete structures will be painted with curing chemical to save water to stop daily water curing hence save water.

• Concrete structures will be covered with thick cloth/gunny bags and then water sprayed on them to avoid water rebound and ensure sustained and complete curing.

• Ponds will be made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water flowing away from the flat surface while curing.

• Water ponding will be done on all sunken slabs. This will also highlight the importance of having an impervious formwork.

4.3.4.3 Water Quality during the Construction Phase

A. Impacts on Surface Water Quality

Lucknow city occupies the interfluvial region of Gomti and Sai rivers of the Central Ganga

Plain in Ganga basin. It is almost a flat country with conspicuous natural depression in north-

eastern part around Jankipuram. The general slope of the city area is towards south and south-

east. The elevation of city area varies from 110 to 126 m above mean sea level.

The drainage system of the area is controlled mainly by river Gomti which flows to south-east.

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.

The primary concerns relating to surface water quality associated with construction activities are pointed out below:


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• Runoff related to unpaved and excavated areas during the rain shower.

Runoff before Construction

Total runoff before construction = Runoff Coefficient x Area (m2) x Rainfall intensity

= 0.8 x 8498 x 0.04 + 0.6 x 9712 x 0.004 + 0.2 x 6070 x 0.04

= 271 + 233 + 49 = 553 m3/hr

Runoff after Construction

= 674 m3/hr

Thus there will be increase of ~1.2 times in the total runoff volume post construction.

• Sediments transported to runoff from the construction site.

• Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other materials are stored, used and

disposed, off.

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.

Mitigation Measures

During the construction phase, surface water quality is likely to be affected due to soil erosion

during first rain and generation of wastewater mainly from construction labour camp. However,

this phenomenon will be temporary and restricted to close vicinity of construction site. The

impact on surface water quality can be minimized by adopting following measures:

• Excavation during dry season and proper management of excavated soils,

• Clearing all debris from site as soon as construction is over.

• Covering the top soil with tarpaulin sheets or filled cement bags around the top soil.

• Site barricading around the site can also prevent runoff.

• By providing proper hutment and toilet facilities for construction labour in the form of

portable toilets discharging in existing municipal sewers.

• Through the proper disposal of waste water generated at site with its final outfall into storm water drains.

Construction Wastewater


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Wastewater generated from the site during the construction contains suspended materials, oil/

diesel spillage and washings from the various areas which can be hazardous and should not be

mixed with the sewage water or allowed to percolate into the ground.

Mitigation Measures

• A separate drainage will be provided for the construction wastewater and collected in a

separate basin.

• The water should be discharged into the drain after pre-treatment including filtration and

removal of contaminants to the standards prescribed for disposal.

• Sewage generated from the areas occupied by the construction labourers will be directed into

the existing sewage drain of the area.

B. Impacts on Groundwater Quality.

Improper disposal of waste generated onsite may or Leaching of hazardous material such as

paints, varnishes, adhesives, oil & diesel may degrade the ground water quality due to

percolation.

Mitigation Measures

Hazardous chemical and material will be used in the development and construction phase of a

project with extreme caution. Paints, varnishes, adhesives etc will be stored & used properly, so

as to avoid spillage. RCC roads are proposed instead of bituminous. Debris and wastes

generated during this 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.

Solid waste generation during construction phase will be negligible. However, a well-planned solid waste management plan will be followed during the construction phase including timely collection, segregation and disposal as per legal requirements.

4.3.4.4 Operational Phase

(i) Surface water Hydrology

Impact

• Usage or undue exploitation of water from nearby surface water bodies

• Contamination of water by disposal of untreated sewage into surface water bodies

• Contamination of surface water as a result of storm water runoff from project

Mitigation Measures


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


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

Further, adequate drainage will be provided at the project site to channelize the storm

water for rainwater harvesting.

• The sewage effluents generated from the Complex will be collected through the sewer

line network provided in scheme, collected sewage effluents will be treated in STP of

500 KLD (~25% higher capacity to total waste water generated). The treated sewage will

be recycled for different usage and the balance water after treating up to secondary

treatment; will be discharged into the municipal sewers.

• Therefore, anticipated impacts on the surface water quality during post construction

phase would be insignificant in the nature.

• It is proposed to provide rainwater harvesting across the project site. The roof tops of buildings will also be connected to the rainwater collection system. This will not only reduce the pressure of storm water management system of the city but also recharge groundwater.

4.3.4.5 Ground Water Hydrology

Impact

• Depletion of ground water, as a result of ground water use during operation phase

Mitigation Measures

• During post construction phase, the total water requirement has been taken as 510 KLD.

308 KLD of tertiary treated water will be recycled for various low end uses like

Flushing, HVAC cooling, Horticulture & other low end uses. Thus, by using recycled

water fresh water demand is reduced by 59%.

• To further lower the water consumption, options of dual flow flushing systems, sensor

based fixtures in processing unit, tap aerators etc will be explored.

• The requirement of water will be met through Municipal Supply and developer shall

make internal distribution network of water in the proposed project. Underground water

tank of required capacity will be provided for storage and over head tanks will provided

for water distribution.

• The proposed rainwater harvesting will recharge groundwater aquifers from the open

areas as well as roof top of the buildings.

• DG sets proposed are of dry type, hence, don’t require cooling water


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• To check wastage, Water meters conforming to Indian standards should be installed at

the inlet point of water uptake and at the discharge point to monitor the daily water

consumption.

• 25 % reduction in water demand can be achieved by use of water efficient fixtures.

Details of the same as described below:

S.No. Particulars Details

1. Urine Flush Per Day (UFPD) (under without conservation F- C) 9 lpcd x 3 times

2. Urine Flush Per Day (UFPD) (under with conservation F+ C) 3 lpcd x 3 times

4. Soil Flush Per Day (SFPD) (under with conservation F+ C) 6 lpcd x 2 times

5. Washing (without conservation W - C) @ 20 lpm

6. Washing (with conservation W + C) @ 7.5 lpm

TWRPD: Total water-use reduction per day

Water meters conforming to Indian standards should be installed at the inlet point of water

uptake and at the discharge point to monitor the daily water consumption. To further lower the

water consumption, options of Low flow flushing systems, sensor based fixtures, waterless

urinals, tap aerators etc will be explored.

4.3.4.6 Surface Water Quality

Impact

• Contamination of water by disposal of untreated sewage into surface water bodies

• Contamination of surface water as a result of storm water runoff from project site

Mitigation Measures

No discharges from the project site will be made to any surface water body. The spare treated

sewage will be discharged to municipal sewers for which permission from municipal authorities

will be availed.

However, in the event of excessive rainfalls the surplus runoff will be guided into natural drains

flowing along the periphery of the colony. Number of pits proposed during operation phase will

be 2.

Mitigation Measures


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• The sewage effluents generated from the proposed project will be collected through the

sewer line network provided in present scheme, and treated in Sewage Treatment Plant

(STP) of 500 KLD capacity.

• No discharges from the project site will be drained to any surface water body. The spare

treated sewage will be discharged to municipal sewers for which permission from

municipal authorities will be availed.

• Rainwater harvesting structures are proposed at site to arrest storm water runoff.

However, in the event of excessive rainfalls the surplus runoff will be guided into natural

drains flowing along the periphery of the project.

As no significant impact is anticipated on the water bodies of the region, so no mitigation

measures are suggested. Rainwater is generally devoid of any impurities and can ensure good

quality water if certain precautions are takes:

• Catchments such as roofs should be accessible for regular cleaning and ensuring no dead

animals etc are present on the surface.

• The roof should be made of non- toxic material, have smooth, hard and dense surface which

is less likely to be damaged allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting is no

advisable since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.

• All gutter ends must be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device must be

installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic bags

and paper pieces can be arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and contamination can be

prevented to a large extent by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of

rainfall is flushed off. Remaining contaminants like silt and blow dirt can be removed by

installing appropriate filters.

• No sewage or wastewater should be admitted into the system.

• No wastewater from areas likely to have oil, grease, or other pollutants should be connected

to the system. For runoff from parking lots and roads, grease filters etc may be necessary to

prevent risk of contamination from chemical spillage.

4.3.4.7 Ground Water Quality

Impact

• Improper storage of municipal solid waste, contaminating the soil and hence,

contaminating ground water due to leachate formation.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• Contamination of ground water due to leaching of spilled oil/ diesel due to round the

clock vehicular movement

• Contamination of ground water due to spillage of untreated waste water

• Contamination of ground water due to leaching of spilled paints, varnishes, adhesives,

sealant and other chemicals during maintenance or renovation activities

Mitigation Measures

• Proper solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed.

• Solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed to prevent groundwater

pollution through leaching.

• Hazardous waste generated & contaminated soil having spilled oil/ diesel shall be

scraped and disposed as per Hazardous Waste Rules’ 2010.

• Waste water will be treated in STP onsite.

The proposed Project will be well maintained. Solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed to prevent groundwater pollution through leaching.

4.3.5 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 generator 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.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


B. Potential Impacts

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

form of “Impact Matrix” in Table 4.7.

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

Mitigation measures

It may be noted that these emissions would be in the form of coarse particulate matter and will

settled down ultimately by means of water sprinkling. Therefore, no significant impact is

anticipated due to dust emission during development and construction phase. However

following mitigation measures for the above are proposed:

• The soil management as discussed in EMP. The excavated soil shall be stored and used

in landscaping.

• The dust emissions shall be controlled by regular sprinkling of water during earthwork

and construction cement bags shall be placed in covered areas. Sand and bricks shall be

covered with gunny bags to avoid dispersion of material in air.

• The approach roads to the proposed site are good metaled roads, therefore during

material handling there shall be least spread of dust in the environment.

• It is further proposed to cover scaffolding, hosing down road surfaces and cleaning of

vehicles especially during the dry season.

• It is mandatory for all automobiles vehicles to maintain the quality of exhaust emissions

within permissible standards.

• The ambient air quality shall be monitored regularly to ensure that the activities at site

are not polluting the ambient environment.

• Pollution under Check (PUC) certificate provision at entry gate.

D. Assessment of the Impact Due to Diesel Generators

• Emissions from the DG sets during construction phase may cause some localized impact

on ambient air quality


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Mitigation Measures

It may be noted that the DG set power will be used to operate construction equipment only if

required as these will be operated during power failure only. Adequate height of stacks will be

provided to the DG sets as per guidelines of CPCB to facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into

the atmosphere. It is proposed to provide adequate dust control systems in the form of

installation of batch plants, and loose material handling in covered sheds. Dust suppression

system is also proposed to be provided where necessary. It is further proposed to cover

scaffolding, hosing down road surfaces and cleaning of vehicles especially during the dry

season. Avenue and curtain plantation on the internal roads and peripheral plantation around the

site will also be developed.

Impact Air Emissions Sources

The possible air emissions attribute to post construction phase of the proposed scheme may be

classified as below.

Impact

• Vehicular emissions during the post construction phase due to buses, cars,

scooter/motorcycle which will be owned by UPSRTC, employees of proposed project

and by visitors to the malls, multiplex, cafeteria.

• Vehicular emission will also increase indirectly as auto/ private vehicles will be used for

passenger pick and drop service.

• Emissions from D.G Sets during operation

Mitigation Measures


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


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 automobiles engines (petrol/diesel)

From the vehicular emissions, NO2 and SO2 will be pollutant 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 increase but will be below the

stipulated National Ambient Air Quality Standards for NO2 (80 µg/m3). At higher wind speeds

the dispersion will be faster.

• In the basement & lower ground floor, where car & bus parking are proposed

respectively, it is proposed to provide an exhaust stack to disperse the built up of

concentration of pollutants in the parking area. Height of stack will be as per MoEF

norms.

• In the proposed integrated project, green belt will be developed in the form of Parks and

along the internal roads, which will also works as barrier for the movement of pollutants.

• Required capacity DG sets will be provided at the Commercial Area & Common

facilities in case of power failure. Heights of stacks attached to DG set 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 DG sets.

• In the proposed project, green belt will be developed on the periphery of project site and

along the internal road, which will work as barrier for the movement of pollutants and

help in pollution control.

Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the Generator 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.

4.3.6 Noise


Impact

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 DG set.

• Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.

Mitigation Measures

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

intermittent and would be experienced occasionally.

From vehicles bringing materials to the site 70 dB (A)

DG set (with acoustic enclosures) 75 dB (A)

Excavation 80 dB (A)

Concrete Mixtures 80 dB (A)

Hammering 80 dB (A)

• To minimize impacts of noise generation from construction activities, the workers will

be provided with ear muffs and other protection devices.

• D.G. Sets with proper acoustic enclosure and will be provided with anti-vibration pads

for controlling noise & vibration would be installed.

• Construction activities will be limited to daytime period where less restrictive noise

standards apply.


Mitigation Measures

The main sources of noise from the project are running of D.G. Sets and vehicular traffic.

• Multiplexes shall be acoustically treated


• Proper traffic circulation will be provided.

• Use of honks will be discouraged by providing separate driveways for heavy & light

vehicles.

• D.G. Sets installed in the proposed scheme will provide emergency electricity supply

during power failure. This will be intermittent and for short durations.

• D.G Sets will be of dry, silent types &enclosed in acoustic chambers with anti-vibration

pads.

• Adequate personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to the personnel

engaged in D.G. Set room.

• Noise pollution from nearby roads shall be arrested by peripheral plantation of noise

attenuating species. Proposed rows of plantation will further restrict the noise on either

side of the plantation. Also, the traffic noise will diminish within a short distance from

the source of origin.

Hence, during this phase, no major impact on noise environment is anticipated.

4.3.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT



CONCEPTUAL PLAN


The project site was relatively free from vegetation and animals except some species of grasses

& bushes, as it was a functional bus stand. There will be no cutting or felling of plantation as the

site has no vegetation.

The peripheral & road side plantation will start during construction itself. Site is devoid of any

wetland/ pond or any terrestrial fauna. Study area is predominantly Tropical Dry Deciduous type

vegetation. Hence, no significant impacts are there.


Impact

Biological impacts on ecosystem are typically predicted in two ways.

• Professional judgment based upon knowledge of the biota and habitat, present

knowledge of the impending impact resulting from similar studies and common sense.

• Similarity models based upon simplifying assumptions and knowledge of the biota &

habitat within the study area, which is predominantly agricultural, these are no reserve

forests and no endangered species in the core zone.

• Increase of green cover, avian fauna, butterflies, etc and hence pollination.

Mitigation Measures

There is no change in land use profile of core zone, as the proposed site has an existing bus

stand. Although there would be some traffic increase in the buffer zone and increase in the fuel

consumption in the core zone of the project area, but its impact is not envisaged to be significant

on the biological environmental of the buffer zone.

In the core area there is no reserve forest to be cleared which could affect the normal functioning

of food chain, food web, prey predator, relationships locally. Hence as such, no impact is

predicted on the biological Environment in the core zone.

Turf area should be minimized and vegetative area should be increased. Plantations of species

that are native to the area, fast growing and with good canopy cover.

Threat to Biodiversity

As such there will not be any threat to biodiversity at the project site as a whole area is totally

denuded and does not have any water body also to support aquatic life. There is no existing

vegetation as the area has been previously developed for such schemes and is totally denuded.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


4.3.8. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

4.3.8.1. Construction Phase

(i) Construction Camp

Impact

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

areas termed as temporary workers and rest permanent workers (approx. 100 workers in total),

as proposed project will develop gradually in the time span of 2 to 3 year.

Therefore, labour camp will be constructed to accommodate the laborers at the project site.

Mitigation Measures

Suitable measures will be taken at the construction camps to mitigate anticipated impacts due to

temporary accommodation of laborers such as provision of clean drinking water, adequate toilet

facilities, medical aid, crèche facilities for the children of workers, water and solid waste

disposal system.

Other safety precautions to be maintained at work site including provision of PPEs, guarding of

dangerous machine parts, maintenance of equipments as hoists and lifts etc, and adequate

provision of different types of fire extinguishers will be made. All applicable rules and

regulations pertaining to workplace health and welfare of workers will be adhered to.

Facilities provided to construction workers

• The project proponent will be provided safe and hygienic working condition for the workers.

• Crèche facilities will be established to children of labour.

• Drinking water and sanitary facilities will be provided.

• Clean fuel will be provided

• Medical facilities will be maintained at readily accessible place where necessary appliance including sterilized cotton, wool etc will be available.

• Pep talk, routine inspection, housekeeping of site will be carried out.

(ii) Land use

The existing land use will not get altered as the proposed site is an existing bus stand.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


(iii) 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.

• Construction material shall also be procured locally, giving a boost to local retailers.

• This is likely to give a 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 the project.

4.3.8.2.Operational Phase

Socio-economic Impact

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 complex.

Project will provide adequate employment opportunities to the local people. During post

construction of proposed project, more than 500 persons will get direct employment opportunity

to be engaged in management, maintenance and security. As an estimate, during post

construction phase, more than 500 persons will get marginal employment opportunities from the

shops, malls, hotels, multiplexes, restaurants etc. of proposed scheme. This will help in

improving the quality of life of people directly or indirectly employed as a result of this

proposed project.

4.3.9. AESTHETIC ENVIRONMENT

Impact on Aesthetics, sensitive targets:

There is no scenic amenity or landscapes around the project site which will be deteriorate due to

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

There are no sensitive targets like religious and historical places, archaeological monuments.

4.3.10. SOLID WASTE 4.3.10.1. Construction Phase


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


During construction phase, solid waste will be generated from labour camps, construction and

other activities. The construction waste generated is detailed in Chapter 2.

Mitigation Measures

Implement waste management plan that identifies and characterize every waste associated with

proposed activities and which identifies the procedures for collection, handling, and disposal of

waste generated onsite.

Demolition/ Construction waste/ debris will be collected and suitably reused on site as far as

possible, as per construction waste management plan.

4.3.10.2. Operational Phase

During operation phase impact on component of valued ecosystem like soil, ground water, Surface water and air quality can occur if solid waste is not disposed properly. The following impacts may occur:

• Ground water contamination by leachates generation due to non-scientific dumping of solid waste

• Surface water contamination by the runoff from the dumping site

• Bad odour, pests, rodents, and windblown litter in and around the waste dump.

• Generation of inflammable gas (e.g. methane) within the waste dump

• Bird menace above the waste dump which affects the flight of air craft

• Fires within the dump

Table 4.6: Quantity of Solid Waste

Total Solid waste generated Approx. 3435 Kg/day

Horticulture Waste 7 Kg/Day

E-Waste (0.15 kg/C/Yr) 9 Kg/Day

STP Sludge (dry weight) 8 Kg/Day

Mitigation Measures

Solid waste from site will be collected on a daily basis and managed as per MSW Rule. The detailed process of handling the waste is described in section 2.

4.4 Transport Linkage and Traffic


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


4.4.1 Construction Phase

Impact

During development and construction phase, labour and construction materials bringing vehicles

will approach the project site through NH-25. The proposed scheme is well connected to

neighborhood, where public transport facility, like, buses and minibuses are easily available in

the area as transport linkage. The project site is easily accessible.

During construction phase, some impact is anticipated on the transport linkage of the area,

however increase in traffic will not adversely affect the local traffic pattern since the site is well

connected by these roads: NH 24B/ Rai Bareli Road- 3.5 km (SE), Dr. Ambedkar Marg: 1.5 km

(NE), NH- 56/ Sultanpur Road- 5 km (NE), NH-25: Adjacent (E), NH-28: 5.5 km (NE), NH-24/

Talkatora Road: 1 km (SW), Lucknow Bypass Link Road/ Amar Shaheed Path: 6.5 km (SE)

Also construction will take place in phased manner; this will reduce peak traffic load bringing labour and building material to the site.

Fig 4.1: Map showing Connectivity of Roads Around the site

SITE


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Mitigation Measures

The vehicles from the project will increase car and two wheeler traffic load on roads during

peak hour. However, since present load is lean, increase in traffic load may not lead to traffic

congestion problem. Once construction work finishes, heavy traffic volume will decrease and

that will further improve traffic condition in the area.

Additionally, the proposed construction site is well inside the road and there would not be

sudden influx of vehicles on the road from the proposed project. The available width will

provide sufficient merging space for the vehicles while meeting the road. Hence it can be

concluded that traffic impact is not a significant adverse impact from the construction and

operation of the proposed project.

4.4.2 Operational Phase

Impact

It is observed from the traffic count that the maximum capacity of the road utilized near site in

the morning and evening peak hours are about 65% and 69% respectively. The vehicle from the

project will increase buses, car and two wheeler traffic load along the road. However, since

present load due to existing bus stand has been taken into account for anticipating traffic load,

increase in traffic load due to reconstructed/ modified terminal will be marginal.

Mitigation Measures

The project complex will have two bell mouth traffic entry/exit; one for bus station (south) &

other for mall (east) that are connected to NH-25. The project site is well connected to network

of roads leading from various parts of the city. The entry/exit points have been marked on the

layout plan. All bus driveways are 18 m wide. The project is proposed to have parking space of

840 ECS & 105 buses.

4.5. Energy Resources

Construction Phase

Electric supply will be provided by Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd. During construction

phase, power requirement will be kept minimum ~ 1 MW and construction work will be done

gradually in about 2 to 3 years. Therefore, energy resources will not be affected significantly.

Operational Phase

Impact


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


During the operation phase of the project, electric supply will be provided from Uttar Pradesh

Power Corporation Ltd. supplemented with 2 DG sets of 1000 kVA each. The proponents will

make arrangements for meeting any electricity shortage for the project. Therefore, energy

resources of the region will not be affected significantly.

Mitigation Measures

To promote energy conservation, it is proposed to provide the buildings with low energy consuming fixtures maximize availability of natural light and make plans in conformance to the sun’s path.

• The water supply pumping system will be provided with variable speed drive to

conserve energy at part load.

• Maximum utilization of natural light. • CFL, LEDs and T-5 lamps will be used.

• 20% street lighting will be powered by solar lighting. LEDs will be used in place of

sodium lamps.

• The DG sets will be automatically controlled to optimize the usage based on the actual

load requirement at any given time. These measures will effectively cut down the

electricity/ diesel consumption.

• Glazing glass: to keep the U value as per ECBC. • External glazing will be below 40% of the total vertical surface as per ECBC. Glass will

be used only for windows.

4.6 Impact on sensitive targets

The sensitive targets include the following:

1. Religious and historical places. 2. Scenic areas 3. Health resorts 4. Seismic Zone 5. Areas of scientific and geological interests 6. Defense Installations 7. Airports

There is no anthropological or archaeological site or artifacts within 5 km of the project. There

are few anthropological or archaeological sites or artifacts nearby. (as per ASI): Aishbagh

Residency: 5 km (NE), Two Cemeteries on La-Martiniere Road. 6 km (NE), Chaudhary Charan


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Singh Airport is at a distance of 1.5 km (N) from the project site. Lucknow Cantonment area is 3

km (E) from the proposed project location.

4.7 Impact Matrix

Various activities from the proposed project scheme are likely to have some impacts on the

environmental constituents during its construction as well as functional phase. The impact

assessment matrix given in Table: 4.7 reveals the impact associated with each activity of the

project on various environmental parameters during construction and function phase

CONCEPTUAL PLAN


CHAPTER 5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 5.1 Introduction

Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest the mitigative measures

which would play a vital role in prevention of environmental degradation during construction

and operational phase of the proposed project. This leads to preparation of Environmental

Management Plan (EMP). Environmental Management Plan therefore forms an important

part of EIA process.

The Environmental Management plan is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the

project is implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner and understand the

potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions

to minimize those risks. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in

accordance with the planned design and by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce

adverse environmental impacts during project’s life cycle.

The proposed project will create certain inevitable impacts, both during construction and

operation phase, although within permissible limits as mentioned in Chapter 4 and can be

reduced significantly with the help of effective implementation of a well-designed EMP. The

potential environmental impacts, which need to be regulated, are mentioned below:

• Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants from

operation of D.G. Sets during power failure and vehicular movement;

• Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment as well as vehicular movement;

• Water resource management to ensure continuous water supply

• Waste water generation from sanitary/domestic activities; and

• Generation of municipal solid wastes from residences, shops and hospital,

• Maintenance of roads, parks, common areas including constructional, electrical and plumbing wastes.

• Energy conservation methods

• Maintenance of Building Management Systems and emergency aids.

• Occupational health hazards To ensure better environment in & around the project site, effective EMP is developed separately for construction and operational phase.

5.3 Green Belt Plan

Plant grown in such a way so as to function as pollutant sinks are collectively referred as

greenbelts. These plants should also provide an aesthetic backdrop for persons using the site

and for the surrounding community.

General principles in greenbelt design considered for this study area:

• Type of pollution likely air, noise, water and land pollution generated from the activities

at the site.

• Agro-climatic zone and sub-zone where the greenbelt is located

• Water quantity and quality available in the area

• Soil quality in the area.

Green belt is designed to minimize the predicted levels of the possible air and noise

pollutants. While designing the scheme the following facilities are considered:

• Site perimeter and approach road

• Along the internal roads

• In and around the office area.

To ensure a permanent green shield around the periphery planting is recommended in two

phases.

• In the first phase one row of evergreen and fast growing trees (which grows up to 10- 15

m) shall be planted at 3.0 m interval along with fast growing ground covers to enhance

the water holding capacity, improve the organic content and check the soil erosion.

• In the second phase after eighteen months, second row of trees with large leaf surface

area with large ever green canopy and longer life span shall be planted at 6.0 m intervals.

Greenbelt Design for Site The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The selection of the trees is based on their phenology (thus road side trees will not have leaf fall during summer and rainy seasons when shade is most needed).

The criteria of the species are based on pollution mitigation capacity (including Particulate

matter), large leaf surface area, deep root system and less litter fall. Faster growing trees with

lighter canopy will be planted alternatively with relatively slow growing trees with wider

canopy. Trees of about 6 m heights will be planted at 4.5 m intervals, 2.5 m away from the


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


road curbing as per CPCB guidelines. Trees will be planted along the outer periphery at

centerline of road between the set back line and the boundary of the plots.

The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and having significant importance are

provided in Chapter 4.

Greenbelt Management

It is presumed that the selected plants will be grown as per normal horticultural practice and

the authorities responsible for the plantation will make adequate provisions for water and

protection of the saplings. A budgetary cost estimate is also prepared for greenbelt

development. Landscape plan is attached as Annexure XVII.

Water Source

Tertiary treated water will be used and also water tankers at the initial stages of development

of the plant.

Irrigation Method

Water hydrants may be installed at 50 m intervals to irrigate area under shrubs and ground

covers.

5.4 EMP for Energy Conservation

Energy conservation program will be implemented through measures taken both on energy

demand and supply sides. Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during the project

planning and operation stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following.

Architectural Design

1. Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air conditioning.

2. Maximization of use of natural lighting and achieve minimum glazing factor through

building design.

3. Passive solar cooling, utilizing building shading through overhangs.

4. Ensure that building envelope measures (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Window

Glazing U-value, and Overall Roof Assembly U-value) meet the baseline criteria of

ECBC/IGBC/GRIHA.

5. Ensure that the interior, exterior, common and parking area lightening power densities

(LPD) meet the baseline values through ‘building area method’ (Ref ECBC)

6. Design the building to eliminate or minimize tobacco smoke pollution in

common/public areas


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


7. Strategies include building orientation towards the north, appropriately designed

windows to ensure day lightening, double height roof, etc.

8. Design of openable areas (doors or windows), in all regularly occupied spaces of each

dwelling unit providing adequate air ventilation.

9. Design of exhaust systems in kitchen and bathrooms providing adequate fresh air

ventilation.

10. Adequate cross ventilation in design

11. Proper landscaping reduces direct sun from striking and heating up of building surfaces.

Energy Saving Practices:

• Promoting use of Solar power for water heating, street light and open area.

• Use of energy efficient appliances.

• Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for energy conservation.

• Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy used for desired

comfort levels.

• Sunscreen films on windows to reduce heating inside buildings.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN


CHAPTER-7 DISASTER MANAGEMENT

7.0 Introduction

Disaster has struck mankind from time immemorial. 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. This has compelled the need for a comprehensive approach to prevent and

mitigate disasters.

7.1 Definition of Disaster

Disaster has been defined in Disaster Management Act 2005 is: “Disaster means a

catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from natural or man-

made causes, or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human

suffering or damage to, and destruction of, property, or damage to, or degradation of,

environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the

community of the affected area”.

A Disaster is called when following one or the other or more incidents occur:

• Risk of loss of human lives-ten or more in one single situation

• A situation which goes beyond the control of available resource of the premises

• Loss of property as a consequence of the incident is over Rs. 1 Crore and/or bears a potential to the above

• A situation apparently may not have much loss but its long-term severity can affect loss of life, production and property.

Disaster occur due to Emergencies on account of:

• Fire

• Explosion

• Electrocution

Natural calamity on account of:

• Earthquake

• Lightning


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• Storm

• Epidemics

• Flood

7.2 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 preventive 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;

• 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.

7.3 Risk associated with the proposed project

Main hazards identified for the project include.

• Fire due to LPG leakage

• Hazard pertaining to Fire in Building

• Fire in diesel storage area/ Garbage storage area

• Electrical accidents

• Earthquake

• Epidemics

• Bomb Blast

7.4 Identification and Assessment of Hazards

This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires to systematically identifying what emergencies could arise. These should range from small events, which can be dealt with by site staff without outside help to the larger event for which it is practical to have a plan. The assessment of possible incidents should produce a report indicating


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• 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

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 laid down by the appropriate statutory authorities.

• Routes for escape during disaster are provided.

7.5 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 • Action on-site

• Action off-site

7.6. Emergency Response for fire A. Basic actions • Immediate action is the most important factor in the emergency control because the first

few seconds count. • Take immediate steps to stop Gas leakage / fire and raise alarm simultaneously. • Stop all operations

• Electrical system except the lighting and firefighting system should be isolated. If the feed to the fire cannot be cut off, the fire must be controlled and not extinguished.

• Start water spray systems in the areas involved in or exposed to fire risks.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• In case of leakage of gas without fire and inability to stop the flow, take all precautions to avoid source of ignition.

• Block all roads in the adjacent area and enlist police support for the purpose, if warranted. B. Actions in the event of fire

• Basic actions as detailed above.

• Extinguishing fires: A small fire at a point of leakage should be extinguished by enveloping with a water spray or a suitable smothering agent such as CO2 or DCP. Fog nozzles should be used.

• Fire fighting personnel working in or close to un-ignited vapor clouds or close to fire, must be protected continuously by water sprays. Fire fighters should advance towards the fire downwind if possible.

Terror Management


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


Hijacking the terminal/ or bus: i. Tight security shall be engaged at all entry points of the bus terminal, with scanner, metal

detector and frisking of individuals & their luggage. ii. At the time of festivals, this security would be enhanced to ensure smooth crowd

movement. iii. CCTV installation at frequent intervals. iv. Sniffer dogs shall be employed in peak hours/ seasons. v. Senior most official available at the spot shall handle situations in accordance with

conditions of the crisis at local level and instructions received from concerned Crisis Management Cell of the city.

8. 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. A Senior Management Personnel will be appointed to act as site main controller and a personnel Junior to him as Site incident Controller The site incident controller will take control of the incident. He or she will often be the person in charge at the time of the incident.

The responsibilities of the site incident controller include the following:

• To assess the scale of the incident (both for internal and external emergency Services);

• 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;

• 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.


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• 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.

7.7.1 Objective of Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

The overall objective of an emergency response plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined

resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following

1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it

2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property

3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties

4. Safeguard other people

5. Evacuate people to safe areas

6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities

7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident control

8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and

circumstances of the emergency

9. Investigate and take steps to prevent reoccurrence

The ERP has therefore to be related to the identification of sources from which hazards can

arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The

plan takes into account:

• The maximum credible loss scenario

• Actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need for good

planning so that with minimum effort resources, the emergency can be controlled.

7.7.2 Procedure for Treatment

On getting a signal of an emergency, the site incident controller officer will take control of

the situation. 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 security office:

• Fire Office

• Police Station


CONCEPTUAL PLAN


• Nearest Hospital

• District Administration

7.7.2.1. 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.

7.7.2.2. 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.

7.8. 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 ensures 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 disaster area.
